Thread by @JackNiewold

Crypto developer @danielesesta is one of the most revolutionary thinkers in the DeFi space right now, heavily involved with $SPELL, $ICE, $MEMO, $TIME, and more.

Today, I listened to his conversation with @CryptoMessiah on twitter.

Here are my favorite quotes and takeaways.

"I am a 'People Maxi'"

Dani hopes to dispell crypto tribalism. His bigger mission?

We should bring people to crypto, not fight over which chain is better.

"We are just scratching the surface of what DeFi can be."

"To advance this industry we need to advance public relations."

Crypto will blow up when we believe in its potential to change the world, not when we believe it will make us rich.

The industry must collaborate to create thesis-based collaborators, not speculators.

Success in crypto is not only about creativity but about being wrong. Dani is self admittedly 'almost never right.'

"I fucking dumped ethereum in 2016. I am not an oracle of greatness, I just try to put things together that do things for people."

"The time is now."

Dani's advice for builders: move fast and break shit.

The Popsicle Finance ( $ICE) hack was the hardest thing that's happened to Dani.

"That has made me so much stronger."

The hack Dani realize that he wants to fight for people.

For him, it's about the journey-the process of creation-not reaching an arbritary market cap

I've have positions in a couple of Dani's projects, and it's because I'm bullish on the ideas, tokens, and protocols.

Now, hearing him speak, I'm bullish on the man himself.

Dani is an ideologue in the best way: not driven by wealth, not driven by personal ambition, but driven by changing lives and bringing blockchain/DeFi to real people.

"I am not here without you."
