“Bitcoin was the first distributed systems paper I read with an economic layer built into it — and that changed everything.” Kenzi Morikawa (3061.eth) sits down with avery.apt 🇺🇸, Co-Founder & CTO of Aptos, to explore his path from supercomputing and large-scale data infrastructure at Meta to the world... of crypto. Avery reflects on discovering Bitcoin and recognizing how economic incentives could transform distributed systems, a realization that eventually shaped his decision to co-found Aptos Labs.show more

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Great conversation. The idea that economic incentives can reshape distributed systems is at the core of why Aptos exists. Worth a full listen

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Been waiting for this interview lol

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Avery building Aptos after that realization is peak builder arc

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos 把奖励写进系统之后，要考虑的就不只是机器怎么协作，还有参与者为什么愿意持续参与。

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Did he talk about the early days of building Aptos Labs?

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Wait so what was the moment he realized incentives could replace trust?

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Incentives are the real protocol

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Hyped for this one

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos That supercomputing background explains a lot about Aptos

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Bruv the economic layer point hits different

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Cool read ser

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos So Bitcoin was the eye opener for him, makes sense

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Bitcoin the paper and Bitcoin the network both changed how people think

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Bitcoin really did flip the script on distributed systems, incentives first

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Mad respect to the team at Aptos

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos The shift from Meta to crypto is a story in itself

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Hmm wonder how he thinks about incentives vs throughput

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Ser this is required viewing for devs

@kenzi_morikawa @AveryChing @Aptos Solid interview, keep these coming
