helping the world go sufficiently onchain and /bankless

FID 3797

Reading @sha's Bankless post today has got me thinking a lot about stablecoins, financial stability, and how stables (and nothing else) will be the real trojan horse towards bringing the world onchain.

The idea that a farmer in Nigeria could have the same financial access as someone living in New York City is precisely why I started following crypto in 2016—long before diving headfirst into DeFi during DeFi Summer.

Blockchain rails provide unprecedented financial inclusion—no matter your nationality or traditional banking access. This is exactly why I'm bullish on projects like Link (https://www.linkio.world/) that build financial services directly atop crypto rails.

The real catalyst for blockchain and crypto adoption won't be NFTs, speculative memecoins, new DEXs, or even BTC—it's improving the core financial infrastructure that already exists!

Stablecoins deliver what matters most: stability and real-world utility. When people have access to a stable currency, secure savings, and reliable financial services, the shift from surviving to thriving begins.

I strongly believe that this shift will ignite an entrepreneurial wave in underserved regions, fostering innovation and economic growth where traditional banking has failed. True financial inclusion means unlocking human potential globally.

We’re about to witness a burst of startups, innovation, and economic activity in places we might not even be looking at yet, simply because stablecoins make stability possible for everyone, everywhere.

While stablecoins didn't exist in 2016, the vision of a fully distributed, open financial system captivated me from the start and has been my guiding motivation throughout most of my career since my days at 
Silicon Valley Bank.
