The dydx playbook will become increasingly adopted by founders over time: 1. Launch app on existing L1/L2 to find PMF 2. Those who find PMF realize they don't control economics, blockspace, or UX. 3. Turbo-charge by moving to their own chain (ideally within same ecosystem)

@arjunblj That assumption may have been true in the past, but is no longer, esp with modern warfare and technology (a la the sword 1000 yrs ago). Id argue digital identity, property or something along those lines is much more apropos to protect against authoritarianism.

Crypto ecosystem who deeply understand their users (not just their builders) and are opinionated abt their experience will be the ones who ultimately win.

The crypto community. They were so ardent to HODL that it borderline felt like a cult. But it galvanized me so I dove deeper before selling. As I learned more, I gained conviction. And during bad times, instead of my usual panic-sell, for the first time ever: i bought more.

Let's start from the beginning: I come from a first generation immigrant family from India. Money was tight: my parents had an initial combined annual salary of $30K and we owned zero assets. Survival and finding value were all that mattered, nothing else.

Horizontal scaling is the only way to support mass market usage. And ZK makes this possible.

1k TPS is a drop in the ocean of the world's demand for Web3. The Internet can't run on a single server. The Internet of Value can't run on a single monolithic blockchain, no matter how fast and willing to sacrifice decentralization. The endgame is ZK singularity: ⧫

Crypto UX is in a sad state of affairs if a highly technical person cant easily figure this out. My sole focus this yr is to make onboarding and user experience actually feel delightful. The good news for me: the bar is terribly low atm.

Really enjoyed the @jon_charb episode on @Lightspeedpodhq today. A couple quick thoughts: 1. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. In the same way Ethereum and Cosmos roadmaps converged, fully agree with Jon that there's a good chance we see this play out b/w Ethereum and

@aeyakovenko @toghrulmaharram @mhonkasalo @cubexch @Backpack Anything that doesn’t happen on L1 that could’ve happened on L1 is by definition parasitic i don’t find EVM/SVM roll ups interesting for this reason. It’s literally the same thing as L1. I am very skeptical any of these copy-paste L2s will take off on solana bc L1 is good enough

@0xMarcB 100%. L2s only become successful if they *meaningfully* grow the pie and attract the 99% of stuff (web2 included) thats outside Ethereum today. If we fight over the same ppl that are already here, no one is winning anything.

Its the way we had to live b/c we had no safety net: "if you have all your eggs in one basket, you watch it carefully". And so my mindset was rooted in scarcity: hold on to what I had, be safe/risk-averse, and slowly accumulate $$ over time. We were Knish from Rounders.
