Here are some (broadly-defined) areas where I believe crypto can make a difference in the world. 1/ Payments Problem: Payments are highly inefficient, especially when sending them across borders. People spend $647 billion on remittances every year, with an average cost of 6.25%.…

Reminder: In the crypto market, speculation is a byproduct that is separate from its core value proposition. Just like real estate, art, and many other markets today.
Keeping crypto onshore is a matter of national security. Will the U.S. learn from past experiences like semiconductor manufacturing? We should not have to rely on untrusted foreign developers and suppliers for critical technology infrastructure.
Let’s close the gap between crypto owners and active on-chain users. This is more important (and presents a bigger growth opportunity) than expanding the total number of crypto investors.
