Into the Bytecode

Here is my conversation with @colin.

We talk about the economics of writing online, the higher ARPUs in crypto, building for the crypto-native niche or a general audience, wallets vs emails, moving with focus and urgency, and more.

Had an insight dovetailing from what @sinahab said in this episode:

The reason we can't figure out why people mint things is because there is no one reason

Crypto natives mint because it's one of the purest expressions of being an early adopter. It's also the same reason normies *don't* mint

Fantastic episode btw

Yea, this made me more cautious about assuming these behaviors will scale to the larger population. But then again, think it’s always this way with early adopters, and sometimes the behavior does break through. Eg the early use of the web. And the whole “the future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed”.
