i like the base app. a lot. crypto natives might not like it because it doesn’t directly serve their needs (finding the next 100x). but it serves a larger purpose for the industry. it’s one step closer to showing the broader population what’s possible when you combine social with: 1. ownership “onchain” isn’t just a bank account. money is a large part but you also own collected media, your name/handle, access to things, your followers, in-game assets. and in time, we’ll get more creative with the kinds of things you can own and you can bring them into the conversation. 2. commerce you can buy and sell anything without linking out. every purchase can happen at the moment of discovery. you can see a product in the feed and buy it instantly. your can choose to turn your purchases into content. you can connect with others that bought the same books, the same shirt, the same vinyls. 3. peer to peer transactions you can send money in the feed or in a dm, set up a wager in the group chat, and resell anything directly (old furniture, electronics, whatever) with native payments. there’s still work to be done. for example, each tab feels like a separate app. there’s no single anchor to latch on to. the design will inevitably improve. but the foundation to meaningfully embed blockchain into everyday digital and physical life is there.
