spent some time reflecting on why i’ve been so unmotivated to try new apps lately.

i think it’s in part because there aren’t enough apps taking advantage of my portable data.

if i have to create a username, add an email, deposit funds, select preferences, follow people, etc then i instantly close the app.

i’ve already done all these things—i have an ens and farcaster with a pfp and bio set, i have several follower graphs on multiple apps, i own thousands of nfts and years of transactions that represent my interests, and i have all kinds of funds on many chains in my wallet.

at this point, as a consumer, my expectation is to just connect my wallet and have everything populated.

i should NEVER have to experience a cold start or onboarding flow again. i should never have to feel like a first-time user.

this is crypto’s unique advantage. it’s the most magical part of being a crypto native.

why aren’t more apps taking advantage of it?

I love the "one address >>> 200 embedded addresses" narrative going around right now.

I despise embedded wallets with a passion lmao
