  • BlueSky has captured some of the crypto ideals but among a mainstream audience.
    • Crypto is a totalizing worldview.
      • If you dip your toe in, you're often pulled fully into the ecosystem, swept up into it.
      • To outsiders, the ecosystem might look extreme and not worth jumping into.
      • That prevents crypto (at least so far) from growing beyond some ceiling of adoption.
    • BlueSky and crypto share a number of key philosophical goals around power structures in tech.
    • BlueSky is idealistic, but pragmatic.
    • It's common to use BlueSky and not be a zealot about it.
