i've been
@FCBarcelona fan ever since childhood - rocking the village kids all the jerseys (and haircuts) - in no particular order - that of ronaldo, figo, messi, xavi, iniesta, ronaldhino, rivaldo, puyol, pique, alves, neymar, suarez, eto'o...even having a privilege seeing some of these greats on the pitch at camp nou in person
this week, i get to make a crossover of my other fandom - and that of web3 - i minted my first ever barca on chain credential to pair with my fan account by using a
@cardano wallet; not a demo - an actual thing
what a time to be alive, really proud of the inordinate amount of work that
@andamio_teams and
@utxos_dev have done here over the past two years to abstract the user journey to this degree and for
@cardano community to back their efforts with a bit of
@catalyst_onX magic
web3 space has a long way to earn it's place in the mainstream by demonstrating it clearly understands what is the problem that it is trying to solve for its users
efforts like these are making a great stride in that direction step by step, learning and iterating along the way
in the end - users will decide what stays and what goes, as they should
i'm fan, one of millions around the world ⚽️🏟️
