Some people on blockchain say they love decentralization, but when decentralization comes, they mourn the loss of a centralized top-down structure. These are the people you will often see studying and trying to apply big tech strategies (which are inherently centralized, closed-source, and permissioned) to their favorite “Web3” projects. I mean, sure… ...We can learn a thing or two from these guys, but only if we understand that the premises are different, by design — and adjust them accordingly. Instead of only studying big tech, we should also be studying open-source software cases of success. Learn how Linux, Android, WordPress, Mozilla, Rust, etc. position themselves and grew in adoption. Read their stories, engage with their communities, consume their specialized content. There is a lot to learn about community building, grassroots marketing, volunteer contributions, and so on.

I again saw crypto being used to solve real people's problems. ✍️Short (and true) story A guy I know from Venezuela works in a Brazilian game design studio and traveled to the country last week to attend the Gamescom LATAM 2025. He is the studio's only foreign employee. He is not a crypto guy and the studio is not a Web3 company neither. Yet, he is paid in $USDT, which is already fascinating, but the story doesn't end here. The guy came to Brazil completely debanked. With only a crypto wallet and some USDT. Unfortunately, he only told me all that yesterday, and it was too late to teach him how to use @bitrefill/@TrocadorApp gift cards, @spritzfinance pre-paid cards, or @nanobankoficial /pix feature. Still, he discovered that two other employees, who, too, are not the usual crypto-native people, also had a @binance account. What they did, then, was a beautiful p2p counter-economy interaction, for every spending the Venezuelan guy needed. 🏴 💵Sent USDT to one of the two colleagues; 💱They swapped USDT<>BRL on Binance; 💳Sent BRL to their bank accounts; 💸Paid for everything the guy needed, while in Brazil. Again, I repeat, these are not crypto-native people. Just normal people who happen to know one or two things about crypto (and I'm teaching them a bit more, now), and used crypto to travel abroad and survive in a foreign country. Without needing to use traditional forex channels (that charge a huge premium on the spread, plus super abusive taxes). Just some peaceful individuals using the sovereign monetary tools available to help each other. Beautiful! 👌 These are the things that give me motivation to keep building. This is also why I have learned to appreciate stablecoins (once being against them), and to understand that we are still too early to use non-pegged crypto, which are too volatile (this guy, in particular, would never do that if not with a stablecoin, as he doesn't like the risky exposure). We are already changing people's life for the better. Let's make it even more significant, now! Keep building. Keep educating. Let's f-ing go!

Just like the Prehistoric Boogas entered a portal to the modern world, I have (through @BoogasX) entered in a portal to NFT-based communities, which I didn't quite understand before getting more involved with the work @RokBoogas @BoogasJames and @BoogasIntern are doing. In such a tribalistic environment (crypto), these storytelling, community-driven, art-focused NFT communities can be a fun and entertaining way of onboarding people to the technology (and it clearly works, considering how many new faces I'm seeing recently on MultiversX). All the collabs with other brands and communities, all the good vibes, and fun I'm having while participating in the sofi campaign... It all makes more sense to me now. Thanks for that, legends. Let's continue telling these stories to those who wanna hear them.
