Trying to make founders describe their products in simple everyday language is like trying to push together the north poles of two magnets.

@jorgiabays yes there are a few i know - prerevmarket, microns, etc. and flippa also allows to sell pre rev prods

@thenarrator the tech is officially a commodity now. the only actual moat left in web3 is the top of the funnel. u either own the distribution platform or u are basically just working for the guy who does.

we’re in a phase where crypto is finally building for mainstream: neobanks, stablecoins, prediction markets, social apps, privacy tools.
the smartest play right now?
get close to the platforms that act as launchpads for these projects.
the ones curating, accelerating, and giving builders distribution.
because when one of those builders hits a billion dollar outcome, everyone in the ecosystem around them wins.
we’ve seen it happen with pumpfun and there are others rn

@Slayed_eth i mean, its alright to post on x to grow but its more likely a platform to share your opinions, information and views. if your content is actually nice (delivering some value) and your opinions are likable among people and you are relatively online, you will grow.
English
@renyukong true and this begins a race to chase that 50 million in a year with a team of 5 while it took a team of 50 people to reach 50 million in 10 years
English
It is useless to benchmark yourself against companies founded 10 years ago as product development velocity and user growth velocity has completely changed with AI and new media respectively.
XYZ company got 50 million users in 10 years starting in 2016 so I should too is like saying I want to match a 1st gen fighter jet while everyone else is on 6th gen development

@KKrucenok @burnt_xion being early is good, but cant deny the fact that it wont be big until they have liquidity. the reason solana never stays silent is simple users + liquidity they have both. a single factor cant define a protocol's win
English
i get your point about liquidity, but look at the market now.
even protocols with huge backing and tvl often struggle with retention because their ux is a mess for the average person.
liquidity without users is just a ghost town. xion is solving the "user" part first. once the entry barrier is gone, the attention and liquidity will follow naturally because it's the only place where web2 users actually feel at home. it's early, but that's where the biggest opportunity is.
English
why isn't crypto that popular yet
I see a lot of challenges:
> entry barrier: standard blockchains are too hard
> wallets: saving seed phrases is a nightmare for beginners
> high fees: you always have to track gas
@burnt_xion fixes this:
> generalized abstraction: tech that makes blockchain simple and invisible
> email login: easy access, no need to learn new sign-in methods
> zero gas: no fees, no extra headaches
> compatibility: works on any device you use daily
> web2 vibe: no friction, feels just like the regular internet
people are usually just scared of complex stuff when trying something new.
but with the right onboarding with $XION everything gets easier: this is how we bring in millions of new users.
i really like where this project is going, as a newbie, i'd totally use this from day one.
would you want a tool that makes getting into crypto this easy?
English
the protocol is quite interesting but harder to build and monetize as the space is too early. either need to work on protocol and consumer level at the same time since not many protocols exists. also user attention and retention both highly depends on liquidity so need some in beginning also
English
fair point. but look at the ecosystem growth - developers are already building these protocols because they know that xion’s abstraction will bring the web2 users that other chains can't reach. liquidity follows users, and xion is making it easier for users to join than anyone else.

@splinter0n i have seen tons of people getting drained just because they are more greedy not because they dont know the security. i mean ofc its important to know but people loose more because they are greedy
English
imagine:
you worked hard, made huge money, decided to actually start living.
but… ignored security. scammers / bad risk management outplayed you.
you lose it all and need starting from zero.
think about your funds security now, not tomorrow.

@FFVV1211 nfts never showed a real true value for web3 in general, they were established to be utilities or idk what but they have been a status symbol since the beginning and in the space of innovation selling status is just bad
English
spot on about btc. it has to be a decentralized something. right now it's just a decentralized spreadsheet for blackrock. the reason eth and the svm ecosystems are surviving this winter is because we can actually run agentic workflows, defi, and programmable privacy on them. the casino died but the actual blockspace utility is better than it's ever been.
English
I've been in crypto since 2012, I remember times before Ethereum and let me tell you,
This winter is similar to 2016, when Bitcoin and crypto was literally *dead* and failed experiment by the mainstream media.
It's not all so bad though - there are two main aspects:
- Stablecoins are recognized as fruitful avenue. The first time in history, tradTech pioneers like YC are openly requesting stablecoin startups and they have some in their batches!
- Bitcoin IS in crisis of own values. SoV thesis isn't working, because Bitcoin is treated as just another stock and no one cares about simplified ideological naiveties, where not-few Bitcoin leaders secretly agree that inflationary Bitcoin might be a plausible idea.
This wasn't supposed to be a cheerleading post, but Ethereum feels the most resilient ecosystem, all thanks to sticking to original values of decentralization and unstoppable programs. Bitcoin is sticking with decentralization too, I know, but it has be to decentralized *something*, and that something currently lacks substance.
Onward and upward!
English
@SuhailKakar why isn't she has her own agentic workflow till now
English
@milianstx all the real crypto adoption lately has just been massively centralized stuff like stablecoins. privacy is about to become the exact same endless debate that decentralization still is rn.
English
Most projects launched over the past year have been improvements on existing applications.
There have been few true zero-to-one experiments.
When smart contracts arrived, they opened the door to entirely new forms of experimentation that later became markets.
Blockchains are now undergoing a similar metamorphosis.
With Arcium, teams on Solana are building with encrypted compute as a core primitive, and you’ll soon see the markets this gives rise to.

Public blockchains have scaled and largely exhausted their current design space. Arcium opens the next design space for these chains. The <encrypted> design space.

@Rodairos the only winning factor at hiring is identifying ambition, ambitious people tends to learn faster so the trajectory of their quality always go up regardless of the quantity of output. key part is knowing if you can deal with the person or not.

This industry's cycles create resumes that look nothing like your “traditional” we historically have seen.
Short stints. Incomplete projects. Constant pivots. The same talent recycling into the next wave of crypto startups.
That’s not always a red flag, it’s the reality of building in a young, volatile industry still searching for durable PMF.
Founders: Stop dismissing candidates because their career path doesn’t look like a linear big tech climb. The truth is, there aren’t many FAANG-level companies here yet (I’ve reiterated this over and over again). The people who’ve survived multiple cycles and worn multiple hats have a different kind of resilience.
But it’s important to assess them properly. Here’s what to look for:
Impact vs. tenure: What did they actually get done during their time there? Hire winners regardless of the situation.
Trajectory: What did things look like before they joined, and where did they help take it? That's a true 0→1 signal for our industry.
Resources: What kind of support did they have? Did they thrive in scrappy environments or only with an abundant resource around them?
Adaptability: Did they pivot well when priorities changed, or did they stall out?
Collaboration: In a small, volatile team, could they work cross-functionally and influence outcomes?
Ownership: Did they take accountability, or were they just along for the ride?
Candidates: Own your story. Frame those short stints as proof you can navigate chaos, adapt fast, and execute under uncertainty. That’s what separates crypto natives from the rest.
This industry needs its day-ones to thrive in the next wave, not just the ones who show up when it's convenient.
