2. Do not force the technologies on your work; sometimes, it's better not to have blockchain or crypto

To develop a winning strategy, you have to get three things right:  ☝️ The actual strategy  👏 Articulating the strategy  🤝 Acting on the strategy

When onboarding goes well it should be seamless, intuitive, and informative. Users should have a good understanding of what’s to come within the app, how it works, and why they should be using it.

False beliefs can be useful in a social sense even if they are not useful in a factual sense. For lack of a better phrase, we might call this approach “factually false, but socially accurate.” When we have to choose between the two, people often select friends and family over facts.

Like a person, a community will have a personality, and the right people will feel drawn to that personality.

Web2 (early 2000s-today) is read and write. People create and consume content on the social platforms that we're all familiar with. In web2, tech giants extract value from users by sitting in the middle. Web2 is built on client-server architecture where users are the client, and companies control the servers.

Tokens align network participants to work together toward a common goal — the growth of the network and the appreciation of the token.  This fixes the core problem of centralized networks, where the value is accumulated by one company, and the company ends up fighting its own users and partners.

Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that breeds tribalism and hostility. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln's quote, “I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts don't change our minds. Friendship does.
