Have you banged your head against the wall trying to understand crypto (unsuccessfully)?
It’s not your fault.
Crypto is actually simple: like emailing a payment.
*What makes it hard for most to understand is a lack of understanding of how payments & money “work” today.*

they say great minds think alike, which is likely why
@rivatez
introduced us—and why we both went in for the same “visionary punk!” Next time, it’ll be in the metaverse! 📈🚀
I bought this visionary punk for 65 ETH and sold it three weeks later for 300 ETH. My first NFT sale and i took all the profits and bought more NfTs. The way I see it I’m just investing towards the future. To the moon we go!

Economics up until today has not been a science, but rather a member of the humanities.
Crypto changes this.
The implications are truly incalculable—just like Economics today, and likely more so!🙃

Copycats are usually subtle. But Eco has one that isn’t.
Imagine a company spent all day copy-and-pasting *everything*...

A good product is simple.
It ‘just works.’ For you.

A v good product understands just how human you are—it knows the difference between what you say/intend/believe you’ll do…*and what ull actually do..*
But then a great product—*a great project bridges this gap.*

The main reason* people struggle to grasp why crypto is both novel and necessary is because they don’t understand how the banking system and money work—or ‘don’t work’—today.
Crypto is like emailing a payment whenever, to wherever.

Banks charge you convenience fees for the right to loan out your money (many times over) to earn ~3% (each time—Ie they loan out over 100% of it…)—often loaning it back to you…and then making you pay for it..

While an image *is*, text is always ‘about.’
The primacy of words over images has deep, deep roots in Western culture.
What have we been missing?
What can be made visible when we work in a form that is not only ‘about,’ but ‘is’ also the thing itself?

Payments shouldn't be a thing.
Do you think 'wow, that was easy' getting out of an uber? Or when you send an email, do you go 'damn, that was fast!'?
There are how many dozens if not hundreds of thousands working on payments in the US..
..what *are* they doing?

Since we humans are more pliable than technology, it’s often easier to design a product that makes us fit the limitations of the underlying tech rather than designing the tech to meet our needs.
When this happens, we become prisoners trapped by tech instead of liberated by it.

This true, & SO fascinating 👇
Can learn so much about where someone “operates from” (ie their intellect vs their emotions) by how they speak.
For ex, ppl w/ADHD often change direction + accelerate in the middle of a sentence, a direct reflection of their 🧠 zipping around⚡️
You can tell so much about a person from the sound and qualities of their voice when they speak.
In my clinical work I find 3 major configurations
One way to say it is "which part of their brain is moving their mouth"?
