People are way too glum about lack of crypto adoption. We've actually come a long way in a short time. Let me share our story. We're a media company with a simple business model - subscriptions and sponsorships. We now run 70% of Bankless onchain and i actually love it. That's up from probably 20% when we started. THINGS WE DO IN CRYPTO Ethereum is our primary bank. Safe is our bank vault - access controls, limits. I can't understate how much safe has improved over the past few years - 10x better than any bank interface. Etherscan for bank statements - all our balances - all our transactions - I can't understate the value of etherscan - we've been DAUs since forever Metamask, Rabby, Uniswap wallet as our checkbooks - our finance ppl use these to sign transactions from our vault or make payments USDC for cash - we pay salaries, bills, and taxes in fiat so keep short-term treasury in stablecoins [Continued in thread]

sDAI from Maker for CDs/Treasuries - we use Cowswap for this - any cash that's medium-term treasury generates yield in DeFi ETH as our S&P500 index - we are long ethereum - why wouldn't we be...everything above is built on ethereum ETH is our store of value. RocketPool for ETH yield - if we're bullish ETH, why not stake it - sometimes Morpho for a lil extra juice. Cryptio as our quickbooks - it just beams in all our onchain transactions for our bookkeepers Uniswap for currency swaps - when we get paid in tokens and need to swap them for USDC or ETH CryptoTaxCalculator as our turbotax - @trustlessstate and I are partners in this biz and this just spits out our personal taxes. Kraken and Coinbase as our crypto banks - fiat onramps - these two have never failed us. [Continued in Thread]

PARTIALLY IN CRYPTO Our sponsors mostly pay us using crypto (ETH/USDC) - it's probably 60/40 now - of course...our sponsors are crypto companies so you'd expect that. About 10% of our subscribers pay us using crypto - we have Coinbase Commerce for our subscription payments and we use Stripe for the rest - people still prefer to pay with credit cards. THINGS WE DON'T DO IN CRYPTO We still have Chase and Mercury for credit cards, and a small town credit union who took us in after Bank of America kicked us out. Payroll is still too complicated to do in crypto - we use Gusto for that and it pulls from our fiat accounts. We pay some of our contractors in crypto but others prefer fiat, i'd say it's close to 50/50. [Continued in thread]
