Buying alt coins: the next alt season When people say 'the next alt season' you are creating a hypothetical in which Bitcoin is or has done well - because you never get an alt season without a substantial Bitcoin run up first. Thus in this scenario, you are saying, I know this

My takes on the fantasy.top changes, after sleeping on it 👇 Clout ➖ 'Everyone can be a hero' was overhyped. In reality, it's the top 0.1% of Twitter, like every other SoFi program. Rank 16000 btw 🙃 ➕ On the plus side, Clout does bring a level of predictability to hero

Loudio is essentially a “clout mining pool” calling it an experiment is a misnomer —we know KOLs will win the “mindshare hash” But admitting there’s no product is the most honest thing I’ve seen in web3 (expect an inflated 1st round of rewards to keep the flywheel running)

Every team in crypto can take a page out of Jupiter's playbook: 1. Launch a good product that solves an important problem 2. Be laser-focused on finding PMF for that one product alone 3. After achieving PMF, scale it 4. After hitting scale, launch additional products one by one

Incentives is not the problem Incentives arent something web3 invented Its been around for years First coffee is free New customers who open a bank account get £250 First 10 taxi rides are free $10 free of free spins if you sign up today And so on The PROBLEM is

current sentiment is that profitable, token-less crypto products (like pumpdotfun) don't need to launch tokens by extension, only projects without a clear path to revenue "need" tokens imo this is a flawed perspective, and the hyperliquid flywheel shows exactly why

we’ve somehow normalized the fact that onramps have terrible UX - fees more extractive than pumpdotfun - instant KYC so you’re fully doxxed before you even touch crypto - and if you’re not using USD? good luck the literal first step already feels like a trap

I hate to admit this. The memecoin trenches are not what they use to be. Granted, there are still runners. But the entire market is so much slower, community focused coins coming back. Sadly there is some cabal bullshit insider pumps, which just ruin it for everyone else.

Okay guys. As I briefly mentioned yesterday, I thought long and hard about whether I should give my two cents on the current ridiculous situation surrounding Loud!. Maybe I shouldn't even call it ridiculous, but that's kind of the first thing I think of when I read that

Ngl I’m struggling big time to get back into the swing of things here. I’ve spent so much time AFK this year due to the wedding + honeymoon + some other travel, and spending so much time away… i have literally never been happier in my life 🙃 I don’t really feel any pull or

product first. chain later. ecosystem… proliferates. (checks notes) turns out shipping for pmf before the chain even matters is meta now (should've always been). pumpfun and hyperEVM are flipping the GTM stack. Let’s unpack the psychology. 1. Engagement First, Infra After.

treating summer as preseason for my asset allocations believe that bitcoin is not printing a complacency shoulder here, so will eventually trend into price discovery & new all time highs by end of year depending on how long the current consolidation takes this summer is how

1/ Some thoughts on the new MAS consultation response that pretty much everyone has been asking me about lately. TLDR: Targeted at closing a loophole exploited by some CEXes, custodians and MMs. Builders/LabsCos are ok but some things to look out for due to broad language.

some thoughts on human-ai relationships and how we're approaching them at openai it's a long blog post -- tl;dr we build models to serve people first. as more people feel increasingly connected to ai, we’re prioritizing research into how this impacts their emotional well-being.

imo the Plasma instant cap fill today is a gigantic beacon signaling meta shift. There is an immense amount of idle capital that wants to place bets on real products and applications that have a chance to do something meaningful...and it's never going to bid your stupid memes

people who don’t understand how liquidity works think that bitcoin just has to go up in the same pace forever “it took $10B of saylor buys to move us from $90k to $110k so another $10B will take us to $130k” no this isn’t how this works sellers are running out of coins think

I had a good convo with Bradley Freeman (coinbrad.base.eth) about a month ago that has stuck with me and I keep thinking about. We’re in the early days of Las Vegas. Too early for much more than just the casino atm. Prada in Vegas in the 70s wouldn’t have stayed open very long. You need the

People are excited about CLOBs again. But CLOBs aren’t new. They’re how modern markets evolved. Matching buyers and sellers in real time. Price discovery, depth, liquidity. That’s how the NYSE works. That’s how Binance works. That’s how trading scaled. So why the sudden
