Before crypto, I had so many cool, stupid side projects that never shipped because they couldn't pay for themselves. Weekend over by the time you set up Stripe and configure all your billing alerts. Live in fear of fraud, chargebacks, and an unexpected infra bill.

After crypto, I had so many cool, stupid side projects that never shipped because they had no distribution. Write the contracts, test the contracts, build the frontend, write the tweet and pray you get 10 likes. Live in fear of a smart contract bug, die because nobody clicks through to your website or knows how to use a wallet.

But you? You can have it all.

crypto will make it 10x easier to start and run a profitable online business

the era of the onchain business is nigh

a simple checkout flow that accepts cc or crypto (albeit with different fees) should suffice, no? (a few of these exist but they could probably be better). i think the business running on crypto rails is actually quite a bit more important/valuable than the consumer choosing to pay in crypto

IF we can somehow get everyone a wallet they can use. Right now onramping is like signing up for a new bank account every time you want to buy $5, because those $5 are coming from the old system full of fraud and unverifiable thievery. It’s a chicken and egg problem, someone needs to be the first mass adopted wallet and people need a reason to use it. Its probably going to be a bank that does it.
