Ethereum

has anyone written thoughtful long-form yet on crypto apps & their history / struggles?

what would you say are the top 3-10 crypto apps created so far?

off the top of my head, abstractly:

- storing value
- transferring value
- fundraising
- exchanging value
- borrowing/lending
- collecting/provenance
- ? something about prediction markets, as separate from predictions/provenance
- ?

- community formation
- governance

maybe two others

gas is low rn bc we haven't had a new app breakout in awhile and the infra is ~overbuilt. memecoins didn't make it, pms are a maybe / unknown tam. crucially, it is the low gas itself that will allow the experimentation that will lead to new apps. so the app<>infra cycle goes

“Crypto consumer” is another way to say “new token issuance platform”. Interestingly, FC is the only one that isn’t directly facilitating it (though it’s happening indirectly via users).

i feel like apps are different than crypto consumer and yet i can't deny all of these involve tokens (value) at their core
