Grab a beer, we're going Bier mode

The author argues that crypto infrastructure has improved substantially since the 2020-21 bull market, so the space should now focus on consumer app experiments that stress-test the tooling. Citing a 2018 USV essay by Dani Grant and Nick Grossman, the post holds that apps beget infrastructure, and that the current moment is another turn of the apps-infrastructure cycle. It lists recent improvements such as smart wallets, EIP-4844 gas fee reduction, and Farcaster frames, and it praises a demo by Farcaster developer @slokh of an app where users sign in with email and pay with Apple Pay to collect an NFT. The post urges builders to create fast, low-cost "crypto hooks" and to test many simple ideas, as Nikita Bier does.
