keep it onchain, but make it cryptoless. this is the new era. while we all love the in-group aspect of crypto, we have to depart from this type of narrative building, and speak to the outside world. the convergence point is where the magic’s at. such a special moment rn.

navigating uncertainty happening at scale will be the most crucial personal development skill. it feels like we’re entering a period where static forms of knowledge will be obsolete, and those who can emotionally navigate changes will be a lot happier and grounded.

mixed feelings about the lower fees for free mints. it doesn’t improve ux for consumers, and if done overnight, worsens ux for creators (less income). it also feeds into the anxieties that web2 networks expose their users to: if the provider changes the rules, i make less.

we have a crazy opportunity to reshape what we do with our time. from consumer to creator. blockchains enable the financial layer for everyone to become a creator and get paid. we need to enable the cultural layer too.

imo the response to flat ui design should be more guided by wanting things to be more expressive rather than simply applying that specific glass or metal material to everything expression can be texture, image, motion, colour, interaction, etc limiting the “next era” of ui to

for mints to become more casual, wallet architecture needs to transform too. not every mint is equal. i want some on my public profiles, some in separate folders, some hidden. minting behaviour and wallet architecture are intimately linked.

one of the hardest things in the next decade will be getting ourselves to pay for culture again. low cost streaming of film and music was great at scaling access (we should keep this aspect), but didn’t set up a system where new artists can grow.

part of the barrier in new tech adaption is corporatism. zora, tlon, stem gets this. they’ll be way ahead because they understand their art direction is a better entry point for most than the “safe option” to branding, or leading with technical details.
