yeah, it really feels like we (crypto) need much better storytelling and narrative building. the best way to do this seems like writing, but could be videos as well. the latter is hard to do anon, the former pretty easy. I think I just have bad associations with sharing content via IG, FB, and Threads because of my “old” social graph comprised largely of artists (and leftists). they are some of the most toxic people on the internet who perversely believe themselves to be open-minded but are actually the complete opposite. I now observe them from afar as they react to crypto, AI, whatever is happening and usually it’s nearly perfect midcurve takes that are the exact opposite of what’s actually true or interesting about a given topic.

Give them something they want to use and no one will bat an eye at the tech. They don’t need stories, they need useful apps that improve their lives (or at least appear to)

yes I hear you, but then explain why average people have money on tradfi savings accounts for 0.1-2% interest when they can get 2x or more on Aave? it’s delusional to think that there are no crypto apps worth using right now, there is also messaging work to be done.

That’s true — narrative definitely plays a role. The tradfi example is a result of a century of trust building in multiple institutions. The narrative of a “safe bet,” look no further. We need to find a middle ground between narrative and usefulness that builds the same trust, which has been lost time and again by bad actors.
