Bluesky raises $15M in Series A on a userbase of 13M. Led by... drumroll please... Blockchain Capital! Feels like a parallel universe.

pretty sad state of affairs for this industry that their announcement had to explicitly state that they “do not use blockchains or cryptocurrencies” https://x.com/molly0xfff/status/1849528329994428676

there is also something slightly twisted about *making sure* your audience knows you won’t add financial rails to your app (“hyperfinancialize”)

It might take a while but they'll likely end up interfacing with blockchains at some point. Even if it's just providing payments through stablecoins or a system for username validation since their current system is centralized and their DNS approach sucks.

interesting distinction between "do not (currently) use..." and "will not hyperfinancialize" "with tokens, crypto trading, NFTS etc." makes me think they'll probably look into incorporating USDC for payments and subscriptions
