Here for the first cycle!

- Wen app?
- I think at this moment Farcaster is much more ahead with the UX and adoption. Lens need to steup the gam to keep up.
- What are really miss at Lens is very good mobile app. Decentralised Social Networks still need to be at least as useful at Web2 experience. Otherwise it is really hard to get mass adoption.
- I see less and less activity here happening. Unless there will be big push, opening the gates and getting the token, it will be hard to regain momentum...
- I think Lens Protocol seems to loose momentum and Farcaster starts to winning - mobile apps are the killers of the social media and the onboarding process is much easier. Interesting that no one talks about decentralisation though...
- Bitcoin ETF turned out to be quite a "buy the rumours, sell the gossip event". It will be quite interesting to see if the same will happen for the ETH closer to May.
- Interesting changes to Lens protocol recently. However, I still find it inferior UX - I came back after few weeks and all of a sudden I'm being asked to sign some Lens manager. No explanation why, what it is and what is the benefit. Crypto is super techy, but really behind on good user experience thinking.
- And the last thing that Lens really needs mobile apps. There will be never adoption without getting mobile app in place. Especially for social media apps.
- While the LensPort for sure gets better on UI side (new design is much better!), there are still annoying things on the UX - especially the fact that I need to reconnect with the wallet every 5 minutes...
I also really miss the content here - without reason to come here and getting creators on the platform, everything else doesn't matter.
- It seems like finally there is some movement on lens protocol - more activity on lenstube and new names for the social media. The only problem is that with such products they need to get absolutely viral quickly and if they stay too long in Beta, they tend to loose momentum.
- I'm now proud contributor to Lens through Gitcoin Grants 18! I hope they will use money well for driving adoption!
- Lens v2 seems to be promising, but it's still a long way ahead to mass adoption. I think the problem of this protocol is that there is not taking care of adoption and just focus on the product. You need to open the gates and improve product on the way!
- All the signs on sky and earth seem to point that we will be back to bull market in not that distanced future. Can't wait! (not financial advice!)

- Lens protocol is still a platform so it means that supply and demand needs to go hand in hand. Otherwise there will be so called colds start problem. We need many viewers here and many content producers. Lens protocol needs to be open up as soon as possible to general public and we need to incentivise content creators to get here as well!
- Lens protocol is moving forward with technology, but still it feels empty here. It needs to open to broad public asap, otherwise it will never utilise chance of web2 platforms having problems (like Twitter). And web3 content creators must be attracted - so far I only see Defiant publishing really professional content on lens. Others, like Bankless don't seem to treat this platform as their real channel (and they are right as there is too little viewers!). So for web3 content I still need to go to web2. Open up!
- Bitcoin ETFs: Adoption Boost OR TradFi Money Grab?
Today we’re going to tackle a hot topic – Bitcoin ETFs, and the race to file for these financial products among Wall Street titans. While TradFi giants smell money, the SEC continues to evaluate whether or not to approve ETFs that own Bitcoin directly.
Some of the largest names in asset management, like Fidelity, and BlackRock are jumping into the race, and the SEC has even approved the first leveraged Bitcoin futures ETF. So let’s quickly recap what Bitcoin ETFs are, who the major players are, and explore what all of this really means.

- Quite a lot of happening in Ethereum world, but I'm still shocked that price of ETH went so much up after Shanghai update.
- L2s reached over 10bln in TVL. Interesting if Lensprotocol decide to move to one of L2s or even L3s to ensure even lower costs than Polygon.
