E119: @aeyakovenko - How Solana Mobile plans to disrupt Apple and Google!
Anatoly didnât just want a faster blockchain. He wanted to rethink how users interact with the crypto stack - and realized that most of that friction lives at the device level - this is how the Solana Mobile phone was born.
We talk about:
- How Anatoly went from the Soviet Union to Silicon Valley
- How the @solanamobile Seeker hopes to change the problems Crypto users face
- How will this disrupt Apple & Google's duopoly
- The Vitalik Buterin tweet that saved @solana
- The inflection point with the Mad Lads launch and the Helium migration
- How to deal with FUD
- Fartcoin strategic reserve
- Balancing work, family, and passion projects
And much more...
