Farcon validated something we’ve all sensed: mini-apps are the new MVP. Wdyt, should we call them “Minimum Viable Apps” (MWA)?

Valuable GTM insight for founders from a rockstar founder/product lead and web3 OG: There are real challenges with transitioning from offchain to onchain at launch. Consider building onchain from day one.

People on CT criticizing content coins likely aren’t one of 700M living on <$3 / day. The true life-changing potential of web3 is for the billions born into environments without access to economic opportunity. Web3 MUST succeed. This is my why.

CT amazes me. The same cycle plays out over and over and over again. Blindly ape into a coin. ⬇️ Get rugged by a scam artist, refuse to be an adult and take responsibility - point blame instead. ⬇️ Repeat.

Incredibly exciting science. Did they have to use this music though? Creepy. https://youtu.be/BdTwbdj7qWo?si=E7cnRE_Zfi5aMRge

Interesting take from @scottgalloway and @timferris on niching down: “If you’re not referring customers to others who could be viewed as competitors, you haven’t found your 1000 true fans” https://youtu.be/eyLFz3Viy-w

Web3 sentiment is extremely bearish right now, and yet: - adoption continues - there’s more regulatory clarity than ever before - a crypto-friendly Administration in the White House for first time ever - BTC is still trading above its first ATH this cycle of $72k - more institutional investors are taking crypto seriously - promising new primitives with real consumer utility have emerged (e.g., social agents) 2023 us would be excited by these headlines. Yes, it’s psychologically challenging right now, but the fundamentals are better than they’ve ever been. It’s going to get better. I’m 100% confident of that.
