Part 2 of How Crypto Crosses the Chasm is about the use cases that will take crypto mainstream. Because all the UX and safety improvements don't matter if no one cares. https://paragraph.com/@blueyard/whats-actually-going-to-make-crypto-mainstream

Why don't we live in a world where value flows as easily as information and anyone can pay or invest in anyone at any time? I'm writing a series of articles covering how crypto can cross this chasm and go mainstream, based on years of research, first post is out today: https://paragraph.com/@blueyard/how-crypto-can-cross-the-chasm

I replaced Coingecko with Duolingo on my phone, icon in the same position to rewire muscle memory, and using it whenever I feel the urge to check Twitter. Now I know enough Spanish to survive Devconnect Argentina, and instead of online arguments in my head I have Spanish phrases bouncing around instead. A+ would recommend.

Many people arguing about blobs, but so far no one has simulated how they respond to demand... until now. TL;DR: Blobs are insanely bullish long term

I've met 100+ crypto startups this year. The most common mistake I've seen is doing way too much. Focus on being great at one thing and outsource the rest. There are so many great infra/middleware companies in crypto that want builders. They cost little and will save so much engineering time. Remember - composability is crypto's superpower. My favorite startup type of late has been Infinex style, aggregating many existing products and writing the glue code + focusing on amazing UX. Would love to see more startups like this.

In ~3.5 hours @chadfowler and I will be talking to @walpo (prev CEO of Aztec Network) about all things privacy - what can we make private? Why isn't everything private yet? etc. If you have any questions let me know below and join us on the live stream!

Would love to see some M&A in the Ethereum wallet ecosystem. So many half working wallets that are painful to use, and there's 100+ of them! Please stop making new wallets and work together to make one awesome one instead.

Had a UX issue I can't fix today when trying to buy a ticket for @ethereumfilm . I logged in with privy and then with coinbase. I thought it would allow me to connect with my mobile wallet but instead I think it created a magic wallet using a passkey. Now when I go to buy the movie it just says I have no balance on any chain and there's no way to proceed. What is the address of this wallet? How can I give it funds? How can I use my coinbase mobile wallet instead? or somehow link them?

I've noticed most political debates simplify to: Left: yea but 99% of people are good Right: yea but 1% of people are bad If you pay close attention to MSM on either side you'll notice this is what they focus on. Illegal immigration, non-binary athletes, welfare, voting laws all follow this pattern.

While we're still mango-maxxing (mango is my favourite *food*, not just fruit) 1. Queensland has the best mangos in the world. They're called Bowen Mangos. 2. This is the closest thing I've found to caffeinated mango juice:

Mango Lassi should be a staple drink sold everywhere, not just at Indian restaurants

Could you please integrate some widget to allow me to use tokens from any chain rather than this. Socket protocol has one, Zora does too, I'm sure there are others out there.

Why is Kiwi News only readable when logged in? Wish it was more like HN where i could read on any device and log in for commenting. So I can read on my mobile or other places and not have to figure out how to link it back to my main wallet.

Would love to see a site/frame where everyone can say what events they're attending and then I can see who of the people I'm following are also going so I can meet up with them.

Is there a mobile app for DAO governance where I can see all votes I'm able to participate in and I can easily click yes or no from there? I often miss voting in governance because I don't pay close attention to everything I'm invested in.

Is there a Frontend widget/plugin for making it easy to bridge tokens to the chain my app is on? Similar to what Zora does where you can mint using ETH from any chain.

Is that little Zora widget that makes it easy to mint using ETH from any chain open source? Would like to implement something similar in another app.

With 100+ L2's now deployed or in production the liquidity required to bridge seamlessly between any two is going to be enormous. Agglayer's solve this, but your chain needs to be connected to at least one. Bullish on L2 ecosystems, bearish on individual chains not connected to an agglayer.

Thank you degens for the nice donation to the UBI fund. At 6 WLD/month for an eyeball scan that's now ~$45/month which goes a long way in a developing country! I guess they heard sama was raising $7T and thought he was going to put it in worldcoin?
