A lot of my recent context came from Polygon Labs.

That put me close to consumer experiments in crypto before they had a clean shape:

• prediction markets becoming a signal surface
• loyalty becoming collectible
• identity becoming portable
• physical collectibles moving into digital markets

The crypto part matters less than what it made visible: identity, status, access, memory, community, and the signals people leave before a market knows what to call them.

Now AI seems to be pulling some of that outward again.

When more people have powerful tools, the interesting questions move back toward the real world: behaviour, trust, taste, context, and what still holds up outside the interface.
