There's lots of discussion about a16z dropping the word 'crypto'.
It's actually a sign of crypto winning. It's outgrown being a standalone sector and now runs through global finance and frontier tech: payments, trading, tokenization, AiFi, and much more.
We've spent more than a decade building this industry to make it useful everywhere, and we should welcome it escaping its own category. People used to say 'internet companies' - which is a prehistoric phrase now. Eventually, calling something a 'crypto company' should feel just as redundant.
Many of us (including me) will keep the word. But the millions, and soon billions, using it every day won't care what we call it.
They'll care what it lets them do.
i spend most of my day talking to ai now.
i work from home, i haven’t been to a conference in ages, and at some point i realised i’m barely having real conversations with people anymore. which is a problem, because i always find my greatest inspiration comes from having conversations with new people.
so i’m running a small experiment: 100 conversations over the next few months with friends, strangers and a maybe a few enemies if they’re up for it. just 25 minutes of your time, and we can talk about whatever you want, or i’ll come with some easy questions.
i think of it a bit like reading 100 books, so if you have a book you’d recommend, bring that too.
@brookeleblanc Your right caring is a huge moat. The only segment that seems to teach a high degree of caring in action and words is luxury and hospitality. We need more examples of it, so keep living it and others might also learn from you ;-)
