He said, the goal has always been to build an ad-scale decentralized social networking protocol with one billion people using it every day.
They were trying to get to Twitter-level usage and saturation.

Any client can build on top of it.
We're protocol first.
That was the pitch.

There's been a number of crypto social networks that tried.
