You know that feeling of conflict you get when you fall in love with something that goes against how you see yourself?
Like that time your dad got addicted to Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but hid it from the family because he “didn’t know what it said about him.”
(No? Just us then? Moving on.)
We had a similar feeling when learning about the Social Network blockchain and its associated crypto wallet, called ‘Earth Wallet.’
Here’s what we love about it:
It’s pretty much taking the ‘Pokemon Go’ model, and using it to onboard new users to the Social Network / Earth Wallet ecosystem.
You download the Earth Wallet → it will route you to your closest park → where you can catch a ‘Regen’ character.
(The idea being that it gets folks out of the house and touching grass).
Which is where we’re conflicted…
Cause the moment we’re done writing this newsletter, we’re downloading the Earth Wallet and going for a walk.
But what does that say about us as people?
That we need faux Pokemon characters dangled in front of us in order to voluntarily go on a walk.
Is this a top signal for humanity? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here’s how we’re resolving this conflict:
We’re going to do the same thing the owner of the Fine AF 1999 Toyota Corolla did when it started making a strange sound:
Ignore it till it goes away.
