We’re back from lunch 🥗 and @KMSmithDC from @BlockchainAssn is kicking us off with a talk on the State of Policy

#Mainnet2022
"We have the right to push back when the agencies are failing to do their jobs," — @KMSmithDC on litigation by the industry
"It is possible we are going to get crypto regulation done *this year*" says @KMSmithDC. #Mainnet2022
Crypto Twitter is a "super power" says @KMSmithDC, because policymakers can personally see likes and reactions from the industry. "We have rewritten the playbook on how to do grassroots communications," she says.

It’s a bitcoin session! What’s going on with the original coin?

With 🕶 @udiWertheimer, @brockm, @Gina__Abrams and led by @Old_Samster

#mainnet2022 Image
@udiWertheimer @brockm @Gina__Abrams @Old_Samster "Decentralisation and censorship-resistance are not use-cases. They are properties of a system," says @brockm. "Bitcoin addresses a very important problem. It's a primitive upon which we can build powerful applications for the transmission of value. Payments is the killer app."
@udiWertheimer @brockm @Gina__Abrams @Old_Samster "[DeFi and NFTs] did create a digital circular economy, which is something Bitcoiners were interested in since day one," says @udiWertheimer. "Should we change Bitcoin to allow that? I would say probably not. But we need a middle ground." #Mainnet2022

Cycles come and go, but how do you navigate them? We’ll hear from @cburniske in conversation with @twobitidiot for the long view on crypto market cycles.

#Mainnet2022 Image
@placeholdervc's view on tech history:
Hardware era (IBM, microprocessors) -> Software era (Microsoft, Linux, TCP/IP) -> Data era (Google) -> Crypto era.
@placeholdervc @twobitidiot: How would you amend the fat protocol thesis today? (usv.com/writing/2016/0…)

@cburniske: It's holding up pretty well ... We'll end up with a minimum of four base layers, and a war to get to eight.

"The hardest problem is how to make complex technology easy to use?" says Coinbase product chief @surojit as he walks @twobitidiot through the @coinbase product suite.

#mainnet2022
"We have a model of core, strategic and venture products. 70 percent of resources we dedicate to our core, revenue-generating products ... 20 percent to strategic products... 10 percent to venture products, which are new bets," says @surojit on setting priorities. #mainnet2022
@surojit "A lot of venture products we source from our employees. We run a YCombinator-style pitch day, and that's how our NFT marketplace started as well.

Many of these venture products will fail. Some will become multi-billion dollar products," — @surojit #mainnet2022

One of the most OG people in NFTs is here to talk about the future of the space from the perspective of @opensea #Mainnet2022 Image
Devin goes through @opensea's product suite:
SeaPort - Gas optimized marketplaces
SeaDrop - Minting tooling
OpenRarity - Open standards for rarity

And "rolling thunder" approach to a multi-chain world.
Devin says the underpinnings of a healthy gaming economy is starting to emerge with gaming NFTs.

"NFT transaction counts haven't had nearly as steep as decline [as volume], so what you're seeing is a lot of excitement, but just at a lower price point," he says.
