should be very obvious at this point how inefficient traditional business models are at capturing social / cultural value and how exponentially better tokens are at it

so confident opportunities at the consumer app layer explode alongside ai - everyone can code so way more gets built - more searching for meaning / belonging creates way more demand for niche opinionated experiences - transaction fees offer a new killer business model that requires way less scale than ads - tokens / new fundraising models remove gatekeepers to capital and break us out of the restrictive & binary ipo or bust startup environment - open social graphs make bootstrapping social products easy - software continues eating money, fashion, entertainment, content blowing open the surface area of opportunities saas is dead, long live consumer

value props of tokens in order of what the average person actually cares about... 1. short term financial opportunity (attention capture) 2. longer term financial opportunity (economic alignment with success) 3. access to experiences (community / product gating) 4. identity signalling 5. decentralization

summary of what i'm hearing from builders about the mini-app platforms... - farcaster: big upgrade in dev experience with frames v2, seeing strong retention w/ improved discoverability, notifs performing crazy well, but obvs limited audience. - worldcoin: user numbers are attractive, but meaningful lift to adapt product for the platform and actual usage / engagement underwhelming. - telegram: still king with massive audience, stars make onboarding / monetizing non-crypto audiences way easier, easy build. anyone have anything to add or having a different experience?

having your token in someone's wallet that they're checking 15 times a day has the potential to be a really powerful external trigger for hacking early product retention obviously keeping it there longer term is the challenge, but pretty easy to hypothesize that giving someone some dust after signup would meaningfully increase their chances of coming back for subsequent sessions

i obviously understand the intention behind giving adjacent communities an allocation in token launches, but generally think that supply is much better in the hands of your core believers or earmarked for future emissions for valuable network participation

a few of the core things i look for in founders.. - have a non-consensus insight they’re genuinely obsessed with - are deeply committed to creating financial opportunity for their community - will be a loud advocate for the people they’re serving and attract a cultlike following - have a track record of being relentlessly resourceful
