neither of these approaches will attract net-new token buyers. neither gives tokens any context, consumers are never presented with a reason to buy a token, or given a sense of what it is they will own. consumer crypto's biggest mistake would be to assume that new consumers care about tokens at all. they don't, tokens are irrelevant - totally and completely - they lack any signification outside the speculative domain. crypto doesn't have a UI problem, it has a crisis of meaning. that crisis is exactly why the market on the right has plenty of users - pump is born from existential crisis, it exists within it happily, and its users don't care. not caring is the point. but we're maxxed out on nihilism, we'll need to offer something more vital & fulfilling if we want to attract more normal users via sleek consumer crypto apps

"people are rewarded by airlines with points, but even without those points, people will still fly." will we have a product where the token isn’t its primary focus?

Consumer nonsense will fade and we will head back in the direction of core DeFi primitives. Build the yield and they will come back when the global liquidity comes back. Tipping ain’t it.

proxy chose violence today, real stuff I love it crypto rn feels like a bulletproof echo chamber where we all shoot each other and scream "why doesn't anyone want in"?

Sorry. But I dont agree. Robinhood, and other stock apps.. Just a ticker and the graph. The research, etc is done outside of the app

The meaning crisis at least is something we share with the broad rest of tech industry imo. Which is why it'd be even nicer if we figured out a way beyond. Even nihilism poster boi nietzsche thought that nihilism should eventually be overcome as a person creates meaning themselves. In theory we have the tech to do a lot of valuable things, esp with the rise of all that surveillance and exploitation happening these days. Maybe it also would require starting to think at smaller scales first. Something like human scale projects that only with crypto can work in a way that everyone involved has a sense of agency and participation. A local DAO to organize something together in a better way than currently possible, empowering small movements, facilitating education initiatives, arts, creative work.. Idk, need to think about that but personally I'd love to see more human curation/human thriving focus and less tokens.

We need to discuss why no one is coming in. Why are they going elsewhere?

have a feeling the shift will happen on here since at least there is social context and criticism visible for almost every project (that I have seen). $moxie being a good example, I see mega bulls and some calling it dead

Until the token aspect of crypto works invisibly behind the scenes, people will continue not to care and we will continue to yell at them how important it is until morale improves.

The only reason I am here is because Farcaster is a crypto usecase outside of "token number go up"
