Crypto is in a stalemate right now.

Everyone wants to bring new people onchain but 99% of volume is still driven by the same cohort of ~25,000 crypto-native users.

I'm not seeing real interest or demand from people to "get into crypto" and the most successful apps (like Polymarket) don't have any downstream effects which makes those users want to check out other crypto apps or go deeper down the rabbit hole.

More and more my friends simply net out at "buy Bitcoin" and frankly I don't think that's a bad take given how safe a bet it is relative to the slaughterhouse that's the memecoin trenches.

Anyone else feeling this too?

One of the biggest things I got wrong about Music NFTs was shouting about it from the rooftops before it was ready for primetime.

We have an opportunity to run this back and do it right with songcoins.

Namely prominent artists and labels trusting us to tokenize good music.

A mobile app to trade without knowing anything about crypto or funding a wallet.

Curation to ensure the coins being launched are notable.

And a means to earn through real-world actions like listening and making content.

This summer feels like a make or break window and I won't stop until we crack the code.

Mēs izlaidīsim monētas vīrusu dziesmām @cooprecsmusic

Šodien trīs ir dabā uz @base

Nākamā viļņa starts jūlijā ar @dopplerprotocol atbalstu

Nekad nepārstāšu cīnīties par onchain mūziku.

Ir milzīga stigma ap Mūzikas NFT no abām pusēm.

Kripto vietējie ir pilnībā norakstījuši tos, un mūzikas fani domā, ka NFT ir krāpšana - abi ar pamatotiem iemesliem.

Jauns posms sākas, kad "kripto" elements ir neredzams un jaunas cenu dinamikas, izmantojot @dopplerprotocol, padara šķidras tirgus dziesmām par realitāti.

Savienojiet to ar faniem, kas nopelna monētas, veicot reālas darbības (piemēram, straumējot dziesmu vai veidojot videoklipus, izmantojot audio), un kaut kas interesants noteikti notiks.

Drīz pieejams @cooprecsmusic

The more I talk to crypto founders the more I realize everyone has the same goal.

Build apps that allow new people to earn their first tokens.

Whoever does this with the best new distribution funnels wins.

Lots of great tailwinds for crypto this summer

- BTC ATH
- First good mobile apps
- Farcaster picking up
- Stocks coming onchain
- Appcoins tied to real products
- Coins for content + media
- Chains with new distribution
- Stablecoins crushing
- NFTs catching bids

It's a great day to be in the HyperEVM trenches

Hyperliquid

Crypto is back baby

Make or break summer for all of us

Jobs not finished

Japan is my favorite country in the world

Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than throwing a pair of shows in Tokyo and Osaka.

We got @imdanielallan on the decks alongside @IamNuushi @spraybox_jpn and myself

Plus - a drop with @SonovaNFT where collectors get free entry.

I first went to @CIRCUSTOKYO for an @mph_uk set and knew it was something special.

Now we're running back for two nights only.

Hope to see some familiar faces there 🇯🇵

One of my biggest goals for this year is to bridge the worlds of edm and crypto twitter.

Especially knowing how much artists and fans absolutely despise crypto and how crypto thinks music is a joke.

It's like two complete opposite sides of a magnet

Mums ir jāmaina terminoloģija un mentalitāte ap "normiešiem" kriptovalūtā.

Tas šķiet pazemojoši, kad patiesībā 99.9% pasaules nezina vai neuztraucas par to, lai būtu uzchain, un tam ir pamatots iemesls.

Reālie lietotāji jāuztver kā pirmās klases pilsoņi - nevis kā nākotnes izejas likviditāte.

Kriptovalūtu spēles nosaukums ir panākt, lai radītāji saņemtu vairāk naudas nekā jebkur citur internetā.

Un darīt to tā, lai viņu agrākie atbalstītāji arī uzvarētu.

Onboarded 11 new artists in April.

Small number in the grand scheme of things but couldn't be more proud of our curation and bringing great music onchain.

Trust the process 💿

With all the crazy stories that happen in crypto at a certain point you gotta wonder…

Who’s really trying to “get into crypto” these days?
