Description
Crypto is seen as something that's mostly to do ponzi schemes or launder money at this point to the majority of people in the mainstream. I believe there ways to go about changing that narrative in a real way that we all need to take part in through active means to help web3 truly become ubiquitous.

A
A
To
mainstream
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
around
this
idea
of
like
the
next
billion
users
onto
web3.
My
personal
opinion
is
that
it's
honestly,
a
meme
at
this
point
reason
being
that
what
consumer
apps
are
being
built
with,
like
the
mainstream
in
mind
right
now,
there's
so
many
examples
for
like
whether
you're
talking
about
metamask,
EMS
and
nfts
that
nothing
is
really
built
for,
like
our
mothers
to
use
like.
A
A
So
my
background
I
used
to
be
a
writer
at
the
HuffPost
for
years.
Interviewing
hip-hop,
artists,
I
did
a
I,
did
a
piece
about
the
New
York
City
Bitcoin
Center
in
2013.
So
it's
when
I
got
into
crypto.
I
got
to
meet
a
lot
of
very
interesting
people
in
the
space
in
2014,
I
tried
launching
what
was
arguably
I've,
never
looked
into
the
research
but
the
first
social
token
ever
called
Kim.
Coindashian
I
got
a
lot
of
press
and
then
a
cease
and
desist
from
the
Kardashian
family
yeah.
A
This
is
the
reality
of
the
perception
of
web3.
At
the
moment,
though,
right,
if
you
talk
to
anybody
who's,
not
in
the
space
right
now,
there's
dokwan
who's,
a
scammer,
there's
board
Apes,
where
people
are
like
jpegs
are
not
worth
millions
of
dollars,
that's
Eminem's,
JPEG,
and
by
the
way
we
have
Alex
masinski
here
from
Celsius.
Who
literally
has
a
t-shirt
on
that
says:
Banks
cannot.
Banks
are
not
your
friends,
and
just
last
week
it
came
out
that
the
executives
at
Celsius
took
over
55
million
dollars
out
before
the
actual
collapse
happened.
A
There's
three
arrows
Capital
that
help
to
basically
like
start
the
bear
Market
that
we're
in
now
and
then
that's
supposed
to
be
like
a
shadowy,
coder
hacker,
and
even
today
we
had
to
hack
happen
with
mango
where
it
was
112
million
dollars,
and
the
guy
then
put
up
a
forum
post
and
said
that
he
was
willing
to
give
most
of
the
money
back
if
they
would
say
that
they
weren't
going
to
actually
press
charges.
But
since
he
had
stolen
so
much
funds,
he
was
able
to
vote
Yes
on
that
proposal.
A
Product
usability
is
terrible.
I
talked
about
it.
A
little
bit
before
you
guys
have
been
to
Devcon.
Ens
is
doing
this
cool
thing
where
you
can
pick
up
a
card
with
your
ens
right
this
morning.
I
wanted
to
set
my
avatar
before
actually
like
doing
it.
So
I'd
have
like
my
actual
Avatar
there.
It
took
me
three
attempts
at
figuring
it
out
gas
money
each
time
and
looking
at
random
articles
and
YouTube
videos
to
figure
out.
Oh
I
have
to
put
ERC
1155,
not
ERC
721.
A
This
is
my
token
idea,
and
this
is
the
transaction
address
and
here's
the
contract
address
like
this
stuff
doesn't
work
well
like
plain
and
simple,
and
then
we
suck
at
narrative
now
after
the
merge
like
we
use
less
than
like
a
tweet
or
something
an
email
like.
But
what
have
we
actually
done
since
the
merge?
A
There
was
so
much
talk,
leading
up
to
the
merge
of
like
how
this
will
change
everything
and
the
merge
isn't
priced
in
and
like
all
this
and
realistically
speaking
like
since
the
merge
happened,
prices
have
tanked,
nothing
has
happened,
we've
done
nothing
in
terms
of
like
actually
getting
in
front
of
the
media
and
being
able
to
explain
some
of
this
stuff.
You
know
this
is
the
sustainability
blockchain
Summit
I
helped
run
the
climate
round
at
Bitcoin
that
we
run
every
quarter,
and
so
many
of
the
companies
that
we
speak
to
literally
tell
us.
A
No
one
wants
to
actually
work
with
us
or
they're
scared
that
some
sort
of
scamming
is
going
to
happen,
but
where
to
from
here
honestly,
I
want
to
hear
some
of
your
thoughts,
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
doing
at
the
moment,
I'm
going
to
be
running.
The
Boston
Marathon
in
2023
I
ran
the
one
in
2013
that
had
the
bombings
with
the
American,
liver,
Foundation,
I
wasn't
able
to
finish
the
race,
and
so,
with
the
10-year
anniversary,
coming
up,
I
thought
I
would
sign
up
for
the
race
and
considering
I'm
running
for
charity.
A
I
asked:
what's
the
most
amount
of
money
that
someone
has
ever
raised
in
a
single
year
for
your
charity,
and
they
told
me
65k
this
quarter
alone.
I
led
the
team
in
raising
3.2
million
for
our
Bitcoin
grants
round,
and
so
I
thought
this
would
be
completely
easy
to
blow
away
65ks,
not
a
lot
of
money.
It
is
a
lot
of
money,
but
compared
to
the
crypto
rich
people.
A
B
A
Honestly,
like
for
someone
who's,
not
in
crypto,
the
two
sentence.
Explanation
is
just
like
it's
a
new
way
to
do
databases
and
it
doesn't
really
matter
like
if
you
were
running
a
web
2
company
I
promise.
No
one
would
go
to
someone
else
and
say
the
reason
that
you
should
use
my
company
is.
We
use
my
Sequel
and
I
feel
like
when
people
are
like
this.
A
It's
blockchain
blockchain
blockchain,
like
that's
all,
they're,
really
doing,
and
so
to
me
realistically
speaking
like
if
you
walk
into
a
grocery
store-
and
you
want
to
show
someone
a
web
3
product,
it
shouldn't
matter
to
them
that
it's
blockchain
or
not.
It
should
just
be
easy
to
use
well-designed
and
not
have
a
garbage
actual.
Like
user
experience,.
D
Great
talk,
Casino.
Thank
you
so
much
one
kind
of
observation,
I,
don't
know
if
it's
really
a
question
or
more
just
a
kind
of
a
challenge
to
the
community,
but
it's
interesting
to
see
that
many
of
the
narratives
against
crypto
have
been
around
for
a
long
time.
They've
had
a
lot
of
sticking
power.
Like
the
you
know,
it's
bad
for
the
environment.
Most
everything
is
a
scam,
hyper,
financialization,
Etc
and
I.
D
Think
it's
also
hard
to
look
within
crypto
and
say
what
are
some
narratives
that
have
stuck
for
more
than
one
cycle,
because
a
lot
of
the
ones
tend
to
be
pretty
short-lived
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
If
there's
some
narratives
or
some
even
memes,
that
you
see
having
the
potential
to
last
for
multiple
Cycles
I.
A
Think
the
I
mean
I'm
biased,
because
I'm
at
Bitcoin,
but
public
goods
are
good,
is
one
of
the
ones
that
I
think
is
essential.
I
mean
public
goods,
as
of
now
are
a
400
billion
dollar
a
year
market
and
with
the
unbundling
of
web
2
products
being
turned
into
protocols
that
people
can
own
and
us
moving
away
from
some
of
those
old
products.
I
think
this
turns
into
a
multi-trillion
dollar
industry,
which
then
creates
narratives
of
people
from
Peru
who
ended
up
getting
a
job
in
web
3
for
a
company.
A
That's
based
nowhere
and
ends
up
being
able
to
help
their
families,
and
so
I
think
or
the
like.
What
bitcoin's
done
with
being
able
to
help
so
many
people
create
products
and
then
start
companies
and
hire
people.
So
even
just
the
the
human
level
things
is
what
I'm
most
interested
in,
even
less
so
than
the
technology
part.
C
C
Do
you
think
that's
a
great
question,
I
think
I
think
about
like
the
builders,
for
instance,
I,
don't
know
like
and
I'm
still
kind
of
exploring,
for
instance,
kind
of
also
the
demographics
of
Builders
and
the
perspectives
of
creativity
and
thought
yeah.
Actually,
I
don't
have
an
answer
myself,
but
I
think
I,
don't
know,
I
think
there's
still
a
lot
of
underrepresented
voices
out
there.
That
I
think
could
help
tap
into
and
help
change.
Narratives
yeah.
A
I
totally
agree
and
I
think
it
needs
to
move
past
like
looking
at
the
traditional
like
white
guy
from
Stanford
or
Wharton,
which
is
one
of
the
things
that
like
I,
think
web3
does
really
well,
is,
like
I,
think
we're
going
to
end
up
seeing
massive
adoption
in
Latin
America
in
Africa
in
parts
of
Asia
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
easier
for
us
to
have
no
switching
costs
like
I'm
I'm
with
JP
Morgan.
