One day Apple is going to release a semi-centralized blockchain product, call it Financial Computing or something, and every Apple consumer who lamented about how crypto is dumb for a decade will aggressively ape into it.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Currently: WhatsABI

Owner of /jellycuts + /routinehub, empowering devs to code from their mobile phone, starting w/ Shortcuts. Formerly: AMZN AI, META, Deadmau5.

Honestly I don't believe in the "X00,000 employee company is bad at X" trope. Maybe it doesn't care about X, maybe it chose to put the wrong leadership to run X, but there's nothing stopping a company of that size from relentlessly pursuing X until it succeeds (maybe a decade later).

One thought, one Q.

Thought: Apple has never been any good at social networking. Remember failed Ping?

Q: What is the sentiment around AWS’ Blockchain product called Quantum Ledger?

And all of us who have been doing VR err I mean crypto for a decade now will be grumpy that nobody listened to us about how cool it was (even though it took more effort back in the day and wasn't as comfortable or wasn't wireless or whatever irrelevant boomer details lol).
