advice for first time founder building a mainstream consumer product with crypto in the background? how do you communicate your vision while keeping the crypto-ness of it to solely the infra layer but not making it the thing itself?

good q! i think it all has to do with how the crypto relates to the core consumer use cases. 

using FC as the example, it isnt just twitter all over, its the ability for other clients, frames, channels, true protocol. using warpcast is still relatively low friction and shows these benefits (to investors AND users)

The benefits and UI/UX matters. Most don’t give a shit about the backend/infrastructure unless it addresses a problem or it’s only possible because of the infrastructure you’ve built.
