Farcaster demonstrates hybrid applications can work, but TBD on whether "application-centrism" works 

I.e. no one gives a rat's arse about the infra underneath, you just use and enjoy the app. This one's tougher though as infra tribalism runs very deep, but can be broken by onboarding a non-crypto audience

Isn't this a tyranny of the minority type of situation? A small group of people who really care about the infra happen to be influencers in some communities (Ethereum, open source development, privacy communities, etc.) and that could get the flywheel going for a broader network

infra-alignment is also a hugely valuable distribution lever for applications. 

many apps realize this

Thinking about this passage from blockchain perspective. That's why we can't expect the end user to care about decentralisation or global consensus or govt monetary policies or even data privacy. Imo we can't reach billions of users with these heavy words until we can build products which people want to use.

Yeah non-crypto users aren't gonna give a fck about decentralisation. Maybe because its more philosphical then technical i guess.

I feel application-centrism is the way to go. 

The goal is to build useful apps. Let the infra be built and carefully curate the level of decentralisation and security your app needs to offer.

Still looks similar to X/Twitter, will need some killer feature to get normies to get pass the huge barrier to entry.

The less users have to understand the infra the more successful the app/service will be. Nobody needs to be a web developer to be able to use web2.

I’m not reading all that sorry that happened or congrats
