buying a stock on web2 vs web3 gives interesting properties because of ownership.

for ex: take an instant USD loan on your stock, since you are the owner only your authority(signature) is needed. In web2 world you go through middlemen.

for me, cannabis is only useful for sleep and sometimes blank canvas thinking.

some of the cc0 licensed NFTs encourage replicas :)

nouns.wtf

will minting a replica give me gated access to discord?

or showcase my collection on gallery.so?

also some of the popular NFTs these days are cc0 licensed, so they do in fact encourage copies! I hope the trend continues.

1. Social recovery methods. 2. Even if you use a hardware wallet you still need to backup your seed phrase offline.

there is practically no attack vector in using infura.

Infura can't fake your can't fake your cryptographic signature. Worst case, they censor txs from your address at which point you can run your own node.

If you are an optimist, HN is not the right place to have a "pro" discussion imo. I will outline products that i'm most excited about or use regularly .

1. Decentralized exchanges: Uniswap.org, projectserum.com.

2. Stablecoins, especially USDC. I get paid for my consulting in USD from US to India with a tx fee of $0.00025 on Solana. I'm saving a lot compared to using PP/Payoneer.

3. Supporting artists I love with NFT on foundation/ opensea/magic eden(for some reason I never did this before although there are web2 sites for it).

4. Generate yield on your stable coins. I wont mention apps here since they are new and have some smart contract risks to it, DYOR.

5. Creator monetisation using unlock-protocol.com and mirror.xyz.

6. Play to earn models in games(Axie infinity and Aurory).

7. Internet native experiments on inclusive sybil resistant identities(proofofhumanity.id)

8. Crypto powered infrastructure networks (helium.com)

9. Inflation resistant currency/Digital gold(Bitcoin & lightning network).

10. Censorship resistant social media.

I mostly optimize for dev time over performance.

Next.js, Vercel + API functions, DigitalOcean postgres with Prisma.

The biggest dev bottleneck for me was styling & css(mostly because I put away learning it!), tailwind ui components have been a big saver.

Maybe. Most popular mixers are now open source, wasabi, samourai, tornado.cash

It is more like a regular bank than anything else. A bank that uses a different transport network.

That's why decentralized stable coins like DAI and others exist :)

have been enjoying using Cascadia Code

> Blockchains are for trustless systems

Not necessarily. Permissionless access, composability and public data are still useful which is not possible in regulated environments.
