we need to build use cases where people know they are using crypto, jump through the hoops to do it, and simply don't care because the experience is worth it

chasing this abstraction dream is cope

I also think it's a bit insulting to potential users

"could it be that we just haven't built anything that worthwhile yet? no, the public is obviously too dumb to understand how to use our apps yet"

agree with this take. moving the entire stack behind the curtain hides what also makes it special/ interesting/ different/ worth doing.

always glad to follow new people bringing good takes to the convos 🤝

Thanks for the follow 🫡

Yesterday I realized a discrepancy in the larger discourses around AI & blockchain respectively.

With AI, everyone talks about the tech and how it’s going to change (already changing!) the way we work and live. There are questions about how it will be distributed and some about the eventual cost/revenue models. Usability, seamless day-to-day integration, and the labor impact are all foregone conclusions; it’s a wonder to come up with scenarios that AI won’t affect.

With blockchain, they talk about the tech and how it’s going to change the infrastructure that we take for granted. They talk about hidden use cases — “no one will know they’re using a blockchain” — and how hard it is to use. 

As a technology, AI is invisible, but we see its impact; blockchain is *supposed* to be invisible, but it gets in its own way.

Are we simply too early in the AI cycle, having seen such euphoria throughout the blockchain space a couple short years ago?

Same wave
