On leaving Stripe, joining Chapter One, and making Web3 more use…

The spread of ideas depends on their ability to be understood. The adoption of technology depends on how easy it is to use.

Onboarding Web3's next billion users will require thinking from first principles, encouraging exploration, abstracting complexity, prioritizing usability, and clearly demonstrating value. Figuring out what matters to the people it should matter to.

To me, this idea of opposing truths so aptly represents the current state of Web3. On one hand, I feel completely convinced that Web3 will fundamentally reshape many aspects of our world. On the other hand, I feel that using Web3 is simply way harder than it needs to be.
