Proliferation of generative (AI) media tools is the best ‘why now’ for putting media onchain. Not just for verification, but so value can flow directly to those who create the inputs that get remixed. For this to take off, a distribution is wedge is everything, and a wedge is much stronger with a closed monetization loop. Would love to hear ideas on how to wedge the habit of making onchain the port of entry habit/default for creators and their tools.

Big unlock in my personal IP stack is to separate planning from doing They are two different mindsets and it helps to have the other one completely turned off for clarity and focus For example in a software project, the planner in me cuts features as relentlessly as the builder scope creeps

my biggest 0 to 1 lesson: you are wrong. you don’t know how or how much, but you are wrong. get in the market and test ASAP (i call this shooting “tracer rounds”…you can’t hit your target if you can’t see where your rounds are going)

Crypto is perennially a new, optimistic, deep nerdsnipe to a new generation of technologists. The sentiment on crypto twitter is driven by jaded or impatient folks who are upset that the market hasn't agreed with their timeline. Zoom out and the progress is clear. Lots to be optimistic about.

remember that sentiment is often more volatile than price. "the supercycle?" that was high volatility sentiment in the opposite direction. if its getting to you, tune it out. focus on your high conviction beliefs while processing new info (from shipping, not the feed.) https://x.com/hosseeb/status/1810496472728895669?s=46&t=wQXqvpirzg313128L3-p1A

some crypto product things i'm excited about for 24-25 (quick list, not exhaustive) - mobile become the default - stablecoin rails get good enough for global fintech adoption, accelerates institutional/regulatory validation - surprising formats for prediction markets emerge - nfts have another surprising evolution - interplay btwn creator tools/token launchers gets more interesting/safer - farcaster channels become wallets/daos, do weird/big things - telegram leans into mini-apps/wallet/payments - frames/blinks find a large-scale social mini-app; validates the 'headless' gtm as a way to bootstrap marketplace liquidity. - data DAOs/tokenized marketplaces onboard new users to earning tokens - for crypto natives, real skin-in-the-game returns to token distributions, resulting in more loyal/engaged users/owners

Markets drive standards. Distribution drives markets. In crypto, very few teams have enough distribution to drive market-wide standards, so distribution from core devs can be an advantage in creating a schelling point for standardization. This plays to the advantage of core teams with less decentralization debt. Some recent, promising examples: - Base + Smart Wallet - Solana Foundation + Blinks / SPL Tokens - Warpcast + Frames - Uniswap Labs + ERC7683
