"I actually believe that the right go to market, at least for me, is fans, not necessarily artists themselves. Artists really just wanna focus on making music. But it's the listeners who are in these discords, posting online, sharing and discovering. They're the ones who will be coming back daily and using your products obsessively." @joeyiny on building @viraldotfun

Crypto isn't going through an identity crisis. It's just growing up. The tension between “crypto-native” and “crypto-adjacent” isn’t a battle for the soul of the industry. It’s a sign of maturation. Every new platform starts this way: a small group of power users pushes the limits, funds the infrastructure, and creates the conditions for the rest of the world to show up. Crypto isn’t about choosing native or adjacent. The future is hybrid. And it’s already here.

The builders winning right now aren’t web2 devs adding token wrappers. They’re the ones who grok crypto’s technical unlocks and know how to ship them through familiar distribution rails. @richardchen39 @base @zora @farcaster_xyz @Polymarket @chippedsocial @blackbird_xyz @tldr_x

The real magic wasn't the seamless payments infra or the perfectly curated lineup. it was watching a bunch of people create something that felt like the future of human gathering.... technologically enabled but fundamentally about connection, creativity, and the radical possibility that maybe we can build something better than what we inherited 💚 @FWBtweets
