1/ It’s disheartening to see an army of people band around ppl who don’t build shit & turn on @kaiynne . I don’t understand how we, as web3 builders, are expected to ship open source code that helps an ecosystem boom as a result. But if a token or platform doesn’t moon.. ☠️

Started w $40k in crypto, the 2 trades that made me “well off” were way past seed. ETH at $12 SNX at $0.60 Games & punks would have got me there & we were well into the cycle by then. Get involved, be curious, look for alpha by building your own thesis, & ignore the noise. 🧐

Welcome to the last day of the worst year of my life. 💅 I lost my wife, my dog, my protocol, my business, my money, & part of my soul in 2023. I’m still here standing & working to be a better man every day. 🫶 Let’s absolutely crush 2024 together. I’m doing it regardless.

Ethereum's POS (since the merge) has minted 2k $ETH. The POW model would have minted 480k $ETH. This nets out to $600m+ USD. *THE* DeFi narrative is $ETH supply flat as demand stays consistent from retail DCA in 2023. Important: Coincides with BTC halvening #4 in 2024. 🧵 1/

We'd love to have @natechastain as a part of the @universe_xyz ecosystem. Part of the reason we went DAO first on BOND + XYZ is so I'd never have to learn how greed affects me downstream. I worked with Nate before & think the industry owes him a 2nd chance. Ppl make mistakes. 🤷‍♂️
