1/ A huge thank-you’s to @ProjectGalaxyHQ for creating the NFT ticket for the event! Whoever showed up during the event was eligible for claiming this NFT to celebrate the moment :)
1/ Apple, with its huge market size, has always taken its users seriously. So do we.
This integration marked the absolute support and trust by Apple for us and the relentless effort of our whole team over the past year.
We will carry on with such trust.
It's a Movement.
2/ What does this mean?
It means as soon as the integration goes live, any user of can buy NFTs with his / her credit cards and other payment solutions that Apple Pay supports.
0/ With @mooarofficial launching soon, here's a thread about growing a Web3-native Superapp, and how that impacts our thoughts on the Find Satoshi Lab (FSL) ecosystem, whose initial traction was bootstrapped by @Stepnofficial.
1/ Back in 2020 I developed a theory that we are likely to find Web3 "Superapps" in Asia, because that was where most of the Web2 Superapps grew out of. I argued that superapps are more aligned with user behaviors in Asia: you get everything solved in one frontend.
2/ However, having been through the DeFi summer and seen that one team attempting to build everything (AMM, lending and other DeFi protocols) under one brand wouldn't work easily, for a while I doubted myself if such Superapps could actually exist in the open world of Web3.
Some ramblings: I had a conversation with @rebeccadai0 earlier last week about Web3 social - what we lack today is not a messaging app or a community tool, but rather a repetitive activity that a bunch of people keep going back to the same place to do it everyday.
Imho it's relatively hard to grow brand-new social behaviors out of a new chat app that's simply dedicated to some "NFT communities". Ownership of the same NFT collection sounds sexy, but it needs deeper bonding than just "sharing the values" to form long lasting relationships.
In other words, new social behaviors in this world may occur only after people frequently interact with the same platform for some common purposes - people first each grows a relationship with the platform, and then they develop relationships with each other.
2/ First of all, I want to let our community know that we are terribly sorry for all the miscommunications that have not only disappointed our believers but have caused unnecessary damage to the community and ecosystem.
0/ @Jerry10240 & @yawn_rong participated in many AMAs and Twitter Spaces; yet we never summarized our thoughts about @Stepnofficial's present and future in one thread.
This thread is to explain what we believe STEPN is, how we got to where we are, and what we hope STEPN to be:
1/ What is STEPN: an easy bridge between Web2 and Web3. We strive to become one of the easiest onboarding mechanisms for the non-crypto folks to get onto the Web3 rail, starting with a Web3 login
2/ What we hope STEPN to grow into: a platform that empowers its loyal community members with Web3 experiences that are connected to real world economies, and an ecosystem whose values are *created* by the users and *owned* by the users
Yesterday was my last day at Multicoin. I’m leaving the firm to join @Stepnofficial as the Chief Revenue Officer. It is a big turning point of my career, and it took me a lot of deep thinking in the decision-making process.
1/ I would like to first and foremost thank all my colleagues at Multicoin Capital, with whom I spent the best three years of my career thus far and together built up this amazing asset management business.
2/ Every second that I worked with a colleague at Multicoin was intellectually stimulating; I was constantly amazed by how much I could learn from anyone on the team.
