A short, important 🧵 about crypto startups: The hardest thing about picking product ideas in crypto (for me) is uniting what you think users care about and what they actually care about. You can't be successful until they are 1:1.

probably the best time

Two years ago, when the explosion of L2s was beginning to really accelerate, I sat down with some other Ethereum L2 founders. Everyone I spoke with shared a strong desire to have a unified Ethereum and they all seemed very genuine about it. But the problem was that if you

team is cooking good to see them take hardening seriously before the next round. good things come to those who wait

'markets are efficient'

Having fun is literally the only thing to chase Everything else is a psyop

everyone is missing the actual issues REV has as a metric: - Chains have varying levels of maturity in their MEV infrastructure (cowswap mev-protected rpcs..) - Some L2s don't have MEV tips, but chains do So when you compare chains by REV you're not comparing apples to oranges

nobody realizes yet but solana bros are now midcurving the bull market and talk about weird metrics like REV eth bros are now left curving it and just saying they are a better version of btc eth/btc and sol/eth about to reflect this shift very hard 🫵😹
