Biggest @EthCC takeaway for me - only handful of founders are real builders while majority are just narrative followers. Chasing the money not the problem. Same is true for VCs though. Maybe that’s the reason.

We like living in a bubble and hate when it’s threatened. Real adoption is slow and requires constant push. BD and/or Devrel are enablers but not the endgame. Endgame is always finding Product-Market Fit.

The BD vs Dev Rel debate is a side quest at best to divert attention from the fact that we aren't making real products useful to everyday people. All of us collectively need to do better. Blockchains, builders, VCs, and exchanges. It's the only way forward.

3. Trading goes beyond finance: Though finance is the first thing that comes to mind when we talk about trading; trading is much more universal. It spans Gaming (trading of gaming assets), Social, NFTs to name but a few. Thus, the use cases for Sei span a wider market.

The most optimal crypto consumer experience is to get account/wallet creation and crypto/fiat on ramp to sub 1 minute or 5-6 steps, all natively within the app. Once we get there, then we can start talking about "mass adoption" and bringing more users into crypto. Until then
