15 thoughts from a developer working 1.5 years in crypto / blockchain / web3
- Most ppl don't care about NFTs as they're widely used today
- Most ppl will not (should not?) pay to transact in most cases
- Points of centralization will temporarily be needed to provide better UX

- Most ppl don't care about DeFI
- People *do* care about fair global access to financial infrastructure
- Stablecoins are one of the most useful, important, powerful primitives
- Stablecoins are not understood by most people – they still think that all crypto is volatile

- Blockchains still don't scale for mass adoption
- Many ppl think a few thousand tx per second is a lot for a shared execution environment, meanwhile traditional databases alone can handle millions operations / second (I know, not apples to apples but worth pointing out)

- Traditional dev tooling + infrastructure is years ahead, & focus on UX / DX, while many (most?) web3 protocols / teams focus on crypto-native people
- We need more Vercel-like services that abstract but still leverage the powerful, core primitives, maintaining decentralization

- There has been more focus on DX since I joined the space. It's much better now than 18 months ago & getting better
- Financial incentives are both good and bad. They are a great way to onboard users and even build teams, but incentivize more bad behavior than I can cover here

- Financial incentives encourage maximalism much more than traditional tech. Their main concern is extracting as much $ for themselves as possible – not any positive causes or moving technology, humanity, or the industry forward, & often make it hard to have honest conversations.
- There are teams who have identified many of the things I mentioned above and are working and building with them in mind, which makes me bullish and excited about the future

scalability and accessibility are the areas of focus I'm most interested in atm.
