except then some of the guys proceeded to go “I’m bearish on crypto” and I was like “wait polymarket is crypto” and they were like “no we would say that’s blockchain not crypto”

interesting

after this experience, i reached out 1:1 to a mix of 30 non-crypto people — tech-forward engineers, founders, execs.

85% regarded crypto + blockchain as different. they value blockchain, not crypto. one even said, "when i hear crypto, i immediately think "scam".

and people think memecoins will solve our PR issue?

curious if anyone actually has data on how many net new people memecoins onboarded this cycle 

my gut thinks so many have been burnt from previous, it’s mainly those who have gambled before and just have a larger risk appetite

would say @polymarket is really what has brought net new users along with some games

cmo at hype // crypto marketing // ecom and dtc

many of my NFT friends zoned out, but haven't been burned. Coinwise a few friends think of crypto as the time they gambled and lost money.

I do not think they know much about the underlying technology. Similar to how many people use chatgpt vs know about the underlying AI potential
