Has anyone developed a market map of web3 / crypto products usable today by small businesses?

Warpcast

why do frames have such a large unclickable area (the image)?

I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

We did a deep dive into this today. Main takeaways:

1. The "bots" are humans and we catch a lot of them. 

2. They target famous accounts like @zachxbt a lot more often. 

3. They're evolving to only like/recast spamming

"Thanks for your comment! Have a great day!"

Sure thing! Let me know what comment you'd like me to reply to.

9. A reasonable person could argue that while the protocol data is credibly neutral and decentralized, client concentration in a single dominant client, i.e. Warpcast, creates de facto centralization and breaks credible neutrality. Additionally, even if you individually use a non-Warpcast client, your audience is likely to use that client and so their policies still affect you.

Fair criticism. The way to improve that state is to have another large client, i.e. Coinbase Wallet, that can offer a reasonable comparable app UX and has a large enough budget to sustain development, user acquisition etc.

But longer term, the single best way to solve this is have 10/100/1000x  daily active users on the protocol. Assuming that the data continues to be credibly neutral and permissionless, a large total addressable market (TAM) will attract well-funded competition.

If you believe that the ulterior motive for Merkle after 4+ years of trying to build a protocol is to "rug" the protocol, then why are you still here?

Bullish.

(Margaritas are deceptively hard to get right, despite their reputation as a simple or low-status drink. They are my go-to when evaluating a bar)

after years of painstaking research, i have concluded that the margarita is the perfect cocktail, followed closely by the old fashioned

Can someone please tell Brian Armstrong to STFU about all this as well and focus on IDK, general reliability, customer support, Solana? The street works both ways. I LIKED his original missive of apolitical workplaces and wish he would honor that, lock in, and focus on his primary business, not political activism/revenge and longevity goals 

“There’s no room for politics and religion in crypto. Focus on tech.”

Never forget that the Ethereum elite cancelled Brantly and got him fired from ENS. Because some troll dug up an 8 year old post of his stating his basic Catholic beliefs. Ethereum needs a radical cultural change. There’s no room for politics and religion in crypto. Focus on tech.

The way to increase the price of Ethereum is to build and use apps on Ethereum.
