The more you buy the more you save. -- Jensen Huang
The more you deploy the more you earn. -- OPAI
As of June 19, the proportion of devices using OPAI to deploy Worker has reached 11.1%. If based on the GPU/CPU Multiplier, the proportion is close to 50%!
Excited to join

4/13. The only real use case of stETH today is lending, which does not require nor produce a network effect. On AAVE, wstETH's deposit and utilization rate is both 0% -- no use case elsewhere in defi.
3/13. Having lost a quarter of its market share, Lido's block rewards-based revenue actually declined from April to August, despite growing from 5.8M to 8M stETH in circulation.
Conspiracy theory: the SI panic and (likely) bank run is a focused TradFi attack on Crypto.
All banks are fractional. None can survive a bank run. The Gov will not bail SI out b/c risk is isolated. Many CEXs and HFs may liquidate. This is all very surgical.

, the crypto market plummeted, and the price of $ETH dropped by 5%.
Before $ETH plummeted, the price had a slight increase.
The mysterious fund withdrew 312M $USDC from
#Circle
and transferred to exchanges during the 8 hours of the uptick.
My favorites are BitcoinFi, AI, and DePIN:
1. BitcoinFi taps into crypto's biggest pond of (so far) inactive wealth, with great TVL potential.
2. AI is the greatest growth narrative for many years to come.
3. DePIN gamifies crypto for millions of untapped (US) audiences.
Every bull market is accompanied by several main narratives:
2017-2019: Layer 1, dencentralized storage, cross-chain;
2020-2022: DeFi, NFTs, and GameFi.
What about the 2024 bull round?
Combining narrative innovations from both secondary and primary markets, we have identified
8/13. It's all behavioral: network inertia, name recognition of native token, Defi integration, gas token, and CEX support make the shift to LSDs behaviorally difficult.
Plus, slow, steady decentralized governance doesn't help.
11/13. Bull: stETH and LSD are gaining market share.
Reality: from April to August, stETH lost a quarter of its market share to non-liquid staking. From 41% to 31.5%.
12/13. Strategic Risk: absent network effect, stETH will continue to face competition, fragmentation, and fee compression from LSD and VaaS competitors. This fee-remission proposal seems like a step in that direction.
7/13. Historically, no LSD token has been able to overtake the native token even on chains with a higher staking ratio, higher yield, greater centralization, and lower friction.
10/13. Bull: Skating Ratio growth proportionally drives LDO revenue.
Reality: Staking rewards don't grow linearly with ETH staking ratio. By design, emission grows at a much slower square root of skating ratio (remember ultrasound money?)
AI Startups are spending >70% of their OpEx on compute -- and they still cannot easily find GPUs from AWS, GCP, and Azure.
@ionet
provides them with a compelling alternative.
$IO will power everything that happens on the decentralized network. Together, we make $IO the compute currency backed by the world's greatest strategic asset.
1. People were cautious pre-NVDA earnings, which went down -3% before turning +16% the next day. Fears of "overbuying" was there, before being blown away by stellar results. Guess how much of BTC ETF's outflow yesterday FOMO'd into NVDA🧐
