crypto underestimates the cognitive overload and monetization fatigue that comes with turning everything into a coin or a market the more financial decisions a user must actively make -> the higher the cognitive burden -> the lower the engagement, satisfaction, and trust this is well researched across digital apps

hard truths: 1. crypto isn’t growing, in fact it’s more cringe than ever because of the new admin embracing it / $trump 2. it’s not realistic to generate a full-time sustainable income on farcaster, $degen and $higher were anomaly wealth events 3. majority of the world doesn’t think in terms of markets 24/7

if you spend any amount of time playing around with consumer apps, you will recognize there are endless pseudocurrencies used to drive engagement and retention: coins in Duolingo, Reddit karma, TikTok gifts, robux in Roblox, gold bars in Candy Crush, bits in Twitch, stars on IG, etc. almost all of these can be bought with fiat. a few of these let you cash out as a user (e.g. creators can redeem tiktok gifts for or cash out robux via devex). and none of them natively allow peer-to-peer trading of their pseudocurrencies. and people love them and buy and spend them daily. 🤔

consumer apps that i think would do well as mini apps that aren't anchored in onchain transactions: - NYT connections: daily ritual game - locket, yope: share photos with a select group of friends - lines of zen: interactive meditation app - ren: AI-generated updates on your friends to remind you to reach out

interesting thread on the viral "Ivy League students use ChatGPT and can't read" article. here's the TLDR of the argument: the education system doesn't align with learning for real-world goals, so students use AI for seemingly irrelevant assignments or tasks they don't find engaging or practical, but NOT for subjects they value my initial reactions: a) part of life is doing things you don't want to do or don't find interesting b) how are students using AI so nonchalantly? all of my papers / problem sets were evaluated for plagiarism and AI c) the most valuable things i learned in college are non-academic real-world skills (independence, critical thinking, resilience, navigating systems) that ChatGPT can't teach in real-time d) didn't the DOE just release guidelines encouraging AI integration in classrooms? teaching students how to use AI as a force multiplier is better than penalizing them imo https://x.com/meatballtimes/status/1920189576921894960

i think you guys are gonna like this update as much as i do :) default DC retention has been moved to 1 year instead of 30 days!! doesn't apply to existing messages (so go change those!), but all new conversations moving forward will have 1 year of message retention by default.
