I promise you, once onchain reputation becomes widely adopted, crypto will heal and become a magical place again. I’m surprised it’s taken this long for everyone to start caring. With how many in CT try to emulate Peter Thiel, you’d imagine one of their dozens of yearly predictions would involve fixing crypto’s broken social layer. It then dawned on me that everyone in crypto is too busy chasing the current shiny thing, and very few are thinking about solving problems. Startups used to revolve around that tenet. Now it’s all about distribution. Who cares about solving problems if users just want their gambling addiction fed, the argument goes. Just look at how Vitalik got trolled for being an out of touch visionary in his recent Devcon talk. Maybe I’m an optimist who believes a solution can be found. But I’m convinced this is the biggest problem in our industry, and it’s time for builders with big balls and an even bigger vision to tackle it head on.
