i have a hypothesis. when a smart person visits argentina, they come back being a crypto maxi. you get to really feel the pain of an unstable currency and how it chokes the growth of people around you and the entire economy. after brian armstrong and vitalik buterin, @bvdani_el is next.

Vitalik Buterin on web3 messaging 💌 “I don’t see a difference between web3 and open-source messaging” basic requirements: • open-source • e2ee • onion routing what is essential: • peer-to-peer network / decentralized • hide all metadata • adopt ENS Ping me on xmtp.chat at prxshant.eth 💜

web3 products are consumed on top of hardware and operating system designed for web2. there's a lot of patchwork involved for a frictionless experience. web3 needs it’s own hardware and operating system. https://twitter.com/prashantpbagga/status/1661259847399006208?s=46&t=_txG9117T4Optrgf5j38ng

@ff.bsky.social is kind of web3 @airbnb airbnb saw vast amounts of unused physical space and created a market to trade it similarly, filecoin saw vast amounts of unused computer storage and created a decentralized market to trade it

ideal payment experience in web3: I live in canada. when I book an uber in the US, uber automatically calculates: 1. the fare in USD 2. applies the current exchange rate (USD to CAD), 3. adds a conversion fee, and 4. charges it to my canadian bank account all 4 steps are abstracted from the user.
