Problem Statement

Fiat Sucks

Crypto-inflation is planned and serves a purpose, but fiat-inflation is uncontrolled except by the wealthy/banks/government
backed by "nothing"
fees, transfer fees. taxes. credit card fees
strict borders, speed, transparency

Crypto is hard

Pro-Fiat - Vendor charges the precise amount
Pro-Fiat - Accepted everywhere
Pro-Crypto - Crypto is more secure, vendor trustlessness

Learning curve
Mining and fees
Volatility
Regulatory framework
Keys vs passwords
value comes from?
mediaphobia on crypto
exchange
keys
wallet

Scroll, like, comment, DM –> No messaging, value?, sbds, rcs, vestsburning, account creation

Social Media is Broken

shadow banning
Concentration of ownership
lack of content ownership
Deplatforming and censorship
Distribution of revenue
bigger org earns from the creator
Rigged/limited public square
favors big media
removes conservative voices
