There is more content on twitter so I gravitate to it and forget to open farcaster. I guess a big part of it is the habit

Product market fit is when your product is so useful to the customer, that they will put up with bugs, missing features, and performance issues, to use it. (Credit to Avichal)

It’s easy to forget that crypto is a technology that can bring equal access to financial systems across the world. Why should only people in certain countries with IDs and bank accounts be allowed to transact voluntarily with each other?

State channel networks (like lightning network) are a great fit for some use cases, such as micropayments, trustless HFT trading, 2 player games, or micropayments. However, rollups are much better for other use cases, like Dexes, DAOs (contract with >2 parties like games), AMMs, remittances, or B2B payments.

Privacy will become more important as the blockchain industry matures. Nobody cared that BTC wasn't private in the early days, but that changed. Lack of privacy will become more exploitable by hackers, Doxxers, governments, and even decentralized apps, to censor or target you.

Customizable Cosmos-like L3 chains on a ZKrollup would be very powerful. You get full security of the L1, but you can choose your own smart contract VM, privacy features, APIs, and get higher throughput than the L1. Bridging to anything else within the rollup is trustless (IBC)

Play to Earn should be combined with Play to Enjoy, in order for it to be most effective. I probably could have earned just a few dollars from years of playing Runescape (for fun) as a kid. The top players will definitely be able to earn though.

One of the largest risks of centralized stablecoins (USDT, USDC etc), is that in the event of a hard fork, where two blockchains are created, the stables can only be redeemed on one chain, so the issuers have significant power in choosing which fork is “correct” ...

the attack surface for hackers to exploit. The web2 approach of adding layers of protection, obscure systems and monitoring, is not a great fit for the decentralized open source web3 world.

It’s extremely tempting to add more features to your blockchain / smart contract, to prevent attack X or to improve performance. However, this is often a bad idea. The more complexity you add to your system, the higher the chances that something will go wrong, and the greater...

AMMs are much more convenient than atomic swaps, since you don't have to find an exact match for your trade. You are trading against a liquid pool that will always take the opposite side of your trade. However, atomic swaps can work trustlessly cross chain, while AMMs can't.

like Infura/Alchemy, you can query a random node to ask for data, and validate that the data is hashed into the blockchain. More nodes means more users can do this (aka running a light client). Usually the performance is significantly worse than the centralized providers though.

Having many nodes validating a blockchain is great for censorship resistance. The blockchain becomes more resilient to many attacks like hacks, DOS, legal requests, and bribes. However, it’s also good for scalability. If you are a user that doesn’t trust a central RPC provider...
