SHILL Issue 125

Mass adoption is *NOT* going to happen just from institutional adoption.
As @0xBanana & my mom puts it: It's going to take all of us embracing our roles as a "doorto-door
salesperson".
When the @Visa integration news broke out
yesterday, I was barely online. I found out from
family & friends flooding me with questions
about Solana.
Influencer, dev, artist... Whatever your role is, if
you're still here on @solana, you share part of
this communal responsibility to push the space
in the direction that you want it to grow.
To a lot of us in here, Solana feels inevitable.
Be it for the future of global payments, or for
creators in the arts & other creative industries,
Solana is mega bullish.
But that's the bottleneck, it's still a bubble.
Not only do we need to continue putting in the
hard work to build tech infrastructure, public
good services, and creative projects that are
actually meaningful on-chain use-cases.
But we also need an overwhelming amount of
patience:
• To explain what blockchain technology is all about, and why it *doesn't* damage the environment
any more than people using cloud gaming or movie streaming services do;
• To show how we can transform the existing socio-economic interactions into something
more equitable, accountable, and transparent;
• To share how NFTs the paradigm shift this represents for creatives across multiple industries
being able to OWN and VERIFY the authenticity & provenance of their work, and how
it is very much *not* just "random strings of letters and numbers with a JPEG front-end"
As our neighbourhood supersaiyan Pengu @iamkadense always says:
Slowly then suddenly... Solana
