The reason I draw parallels to the hobby computer industry is because the same kind of niche user base exists: people who are willing to put up with super leaky abstractions, exposed wires and rough edges, to make a spreadsheet or draw a circle. Much like Apple's vision of the "bicycle for the mind" of personal computing, crypto needs its own story to tell. And money isn't compelling enough, that's just an application. If you were to distill the unique attributes of crypto, and then amplify that sole distillation into a single message, as what is the ultimate purpose of crypto? You would say that it gives you autonomy, freedom to move, to interact across borders, with a unified store of trust. If personal computers took off because they were the "bicycle for the mind", crypto will take off as the "passport for the mind" 13 replies
