“Oh.” - me, in late 2024, realizing that blockchains are an important technology, not merely a mechanism for pump and dumps.

The fact that traditional finance (and intermediaries) are nowhere near as frictionless as they should be.

3% for a credit card swipe.

5-7% for a wire transfer.

2 days for stock settlement.

Slow transfer/availability of funds.

Fraud/chargebacks.

No micro transactions.

what made you realize that blockchains are not just a mechanism for rugging?

It’s amazing how perspectives shift over time. Always fascinating to see how emerging technologies find their place!

This was me in early 2024 lol

No worries. We’re just getting started 🤝
