In this short monologue, the speaker argues that crypto represents the most exciting frontier for internet builders today, likening its current stage to the early days of Web 2.0 when platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch were first defining how people interact online. He suggests that just as those platforms reshaped social interaction, crypto—through NFTs and DeFi—is now shaping how people will assign and exchange value on the internet. The speaker frames this evolution as a revolutionary shift in value‑based interaction and expresses enthusiasm for being part of it.

Crypto is, to me, is the most interesting place to be building right now. If you're like a builder on the internet, I think crypto is like 10 years ago, or I guess it was like 15 years ago when I started working in the web and it was kind of like Web 2.0. It was like we were discovering how all of the ways that people were going to relate to each other socially on the internet. Twitch is like a way that people interact on the internet. So it was like Instagram and Facebook and Twitter. And then now, like, we're— it feels like we're going through that same type of revolution, but now we're determining all the ways that people are going to, you know, interact around value on the internet. How are we going to value different things with each other? And so, you know, NFTs are— and DeFi are like different ways of doing that. And so I think that's pretty cool.
