Why aren't there more compelling "consumer" crypto "apps"?

1. Up until recently, blockspace was expensive and slow. In the last year, that's no longer the case. Also embedded wallets / smart contract wallets / Passkeys will continue to make it straightforward to make any crypto app aware. On-ramp APIs are also much better (but still the largest point of friction for a pure consumer app).

2. It's 2024 — the consumer web is 30 years old and the modern smartphone era is almost 20 years old. Internet software is a mature industry. Obvious ideas (regardless of whether they involve crypto) are solved.

3. So if it's an existing idea + crypto, you usually getting, at best, a 10% improvement. It's not a 10x improvement. And if it's not 10x, you won't really get people many people to switch. (And for the last 2 or so years, crypto's brand association has been more negative, so if anything it's made a product overall worse from growth standpoint.)

beer

After the exercise, we came to the riverside restaurant to celebrate with friends. We drank 1664 white beer and felt the joy of being tipsy in the blues moment. The sky was most beautiful when it was about to get dark. We watched the sunset gradually fall. The sky also became soft. This moment had a special atmosphere in our hearts.

I have had dozens of cameras but the Sony RX100V is my favorite camera I have ever owned:

- tiny, fits in any pocket
- has an excellent pop-up viewfinder
- starts shooting faster than opening an app
- goes down to f1.8, ideal for low depth of field, fast moving subjects, low light
- the back screen flips up so I can shoot 90 degrees to the subject, ideal for street photography
- I can transfer photos wirelessly to my iPhone for editing

this camera is 9 years old but I cannot find anything better on the market today
