Major life hack: Let people be wrong about you. Correcting every misread costs hours of your life you never get back, and limits you from action. The people who matter watch what you do over time and update their own views. Everyone else was never your audience.

Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade? Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange, a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Everyone wants to be contrarian until it’s actually time to be contrarian. Right now that means betting on credible neutrality and individual empowerment and resisting the urge to chase the current thing that extractors are projecting on you.

What I hope Robinhood Chain and the broader world of Tokenized Stocks can aim for: Consumer finance devs have founded some of the most successful companies of the past two decades, however they are often limited by licenses and geographic mobility, the cost of these has now collapsed immensely thanks to blockchain scaling. This means that the real goal for crypto devs should not be to “get distribution from a major company and take their users” but to birth entirely new users into finance. For real, finance, PERIOD. It’s time to think bigger. Across most of the world, participation within investing/managing finances sits under 15%. AKA: Billions of adults have never invested anything, ever. BILLIONS! There are two reasons for this. 1. Access 2. Ability Access is obvious: Not every country has the same system as the US (401Ks), however even despite having that, 40% of US adults have never invested their money so the TAM still exists even in privileged nations. Ability is less obvious but incredibly important: Onboarding is emotional as much as logistical, so when people open a trading app and see a chart with complicated numbers, they may quickly conclude that this world belongs to someone else. “I can’t invest! I am not a finance bro.” Both of these barriers dissolve onchain because finance becomes open and the ability to build financial experiences also becomes open which can attract more minds to give it a go. Consumer finance before was like a privileged circle of people with access and licenses who got to build in it serving to a privileged circle of people with educations and luck. But now, if we get this right, it can be everyone building for everyone. For builders onchain, the liquidity already exists, and they mainly need to build a front end, and that front end is theirs to monetize. Bringing financial tools onchain literally leads to an internet moment for finance itself because now anyone anywhere can hack at it, access liquidity without licenses, and just start cooking with a solid line of sight to major distribution. I am hoping Robinhood chain and other initiatives like it , can reach out to consumer devs with the message : “come build finance that doesn’t feel like the usual chart buy.” I am optimistic about their chances to get this right and I hope their execution gives it a proper shot, that they incentivize developers to think bigger. The biggest loss here would be if instead it just becomes a silo of DeFi people building for DeFi people. I would love to see some crazy ideas like: > an app that reads your screen time (with permission lol) and auto invests into the stocks of the apps you use most. It could even run inferences (“oh you use ChatGPT a lot?” auto buys NVIDIA) Robinhood already proved the thesis of reinventing investing once. It literally earned its aha moment by updating the UI of trading, and a generation of new traders came to life. Now anyone can do it too.

In 1770, tensions between the American colonies and the British Empire escalated dramatically, serving as a critical stepping stone toward the Revolutionary War.

The most powerful consumer finance products in the future will probably blend everyday behavior and habits with investing in a natural way, instead of forcing users to learn finance first.

TL;DR: Binji hopes Robinhood Chain tokenized stocks let consumer devs build fresh onchain finance apps to onboard billions who've never invested. Main barriers: access (licenses/geo) and ability (intimidating charts/UIs). Onchain removes both—open liquidity, anyone builds/monetizes frontends without permission. Goal: new users creative ideas (e.g. auto-invest based on your screen time/apps), not just DeFi for DeFi people. Robinhood proved UI reinvention works; now scale it globally.

COUNTER: Ethereum gets users, and is doing it at a larger scale than any other blockchain by several orders of magnitude. Here are some things going on: - Mass scale integrations across DeFi from @Aave, @Morpho, @sparkdotfi @ethena making their way to traditional finance products E.G @RobinhoodApp (28M users). Some of these teams are also releasing their own apps which essentially means Ethereum is hitting the TAM of global savings, aka everyone. - @EtherFi card usage and adoption is up only, processing $400m in real user payment volume ( because they’re on Ethereum, they can easily integrate with the above without needing 1000s of hours of BD deals). Also, @itstuyo pushing out viral campaigns on new types of cards all together! - @RAILGUN_Project is doing $5M in yearly revenue, making it one of the most used privacy solutions on a blockchain, future integrations with hardware wallets and more will further expand the TAM, similar to how the Ledger integration expanded Lido’s TAM overnight. - @Lighter_xyz integrating directly into Robinhood! Also, doing about 18% of Hyperliquid volume this month (: - @uniswap cca’s are doing great and are bringing in new ways for capital raises to occur. @AerodromeFi’s push into eth mainnet ethereum is also exciting as they bring tried and tested users to the L1. - @ethlabs_org are bringing a product and demand centric reflective loop to protocol development which should further strengthen the relationships between the Ethereum protocol and the products building upon it that cater to users - @Nethermind & @ethereuminsti are involved in major institutional pilots across the board - Art Basel had a great Ethereum presence across artists, many Ethereum native curators and artists minting eternal work on the world computer, @eli_schein and many more have created a path for an entirely new set of eyes to rest on Ethereum. - More niche for now but incredibly cool things are happening within the realm of decentralized Google Docs et al; as privacy becomes more important online, things like @fileverse may grow powerful The main thing: EVERY effort on the Ethereum world computer compounds into eachother, these things are not built in siloes, but are built out in the open, they cover a range of ground, have multiple multinational teams, and are here not just to play, but to take over. Having said all of this, incubation is essential, this is something that I have seen other chains do well and something I expect to amp up within Ethereum as well. There is always much to learn from eachother, a rising tide does indeed lift all boats, and I cannot wait to see where it all ends up Godspeed. Ethereum.
