The inevitable response to this take is condemnation from the culture, NFT, gaming etc crowd. But finance focus is not the nail in the coffin for “web3” Finance is hard. It has more stringent requirements. When I worked in TradFi, we had to abandon most off-the-shelf software because it took bad trade offs on important considerations like latency and consistency. Great finance software can work for everything else. Great everything software will not work for finance. Solana going laser focused on solving the hardest problem (finance) doesn’t mean you can’t use it for culture, gaming, etc. The best way to win is not to be everything to everyone. Creatives will always find ways to use tools beyond their intended scope. When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. But maybe we start by hitting the actual nails first.
