For a decade, Web3 and TradFi argued.
In 2026, they're sitting at the same table.
In 10 days, Jenny Johnson (CEO @FTDA_US, $1.5T AUM) and @adam3us (Co-Founder, @Blockstream , inventor of Hashcash) open Proof of Talk 2026 on the same stage.
That fireside is the thesis of the entire event.

Calling the Scottish contingent. I have a strong interest in tokenisation that stems from a strong interest in our failing economies. Q: How could we tax wealth not work given that assets are nebulous concepts and difficult to divide? A: tokenize assets on blockchains.
I hear you. I feel there's a disconnect. Protocols are like, "let's get a DevRel, they can run hackathons, builders will love us; then pivot 3 months later. You don't build a developer community around a narrative. Builders want tech that will be around in 10 years, they invest time, energy, money and yet these cowboy protocols expect them to take all the risk.
And, I don't even have a solution for you. I live deep inside Web3 teams writing their docs. If I can't tell you whether I trust the product team to stay the path and see out their roadmap, how are you supposed to make that call as a builder?
I once worked in a project that did 3 pivots in one year. You're not working for product:market fit if all you're doing is chasing attention. You're not building anything if all you do is pivot.
My 2c's: Focus on something that has the potential to go beyond your lifetime!
