- Web3 is almost entirely missing mobile usability.

- Crypto apps could add a reputation layer to existing Web2 use cases, like dating apps.

- People are still using Web 2.0 community products to create communities for Web3.

- Web3 games need to move away from speculation and towards building genuine player enjoyment.

- Seed investors need to be creative but also mindful of what other people will invest in. It’s important to understand business models and what is sustainable.

- Corrections help to reset the whole ecosystem.
