“humbling” is how @HowardSchultz (former starbucks ceo) reflects on his first job at xerox where he clocked 50 irl cold calls per day rejections, no-shows, being led on… you know the drill we all once thought we’d outgrow the “humbling” process at some point in our career…

@storysylee can’t help but feel like the goalpost has been shifted generously here tbh, no one disagrees that we need to build for normies to come on chain to essentialise the aspirations of teams at @monad_xyz and @berachain as mere restaking optimisations would be a little departure from

speaking to a few founders today who will be thinking about launching their token with @magna_digital one thing i wish they knew ahead of time: don’t be afraid to ask questions you’re probably a great builder, but no one expects you to be an expert at everything - much less

@keoneHD @Andikur_x interesting that this “building for consumer” sentiment in web3 is experiencing a 3-6 month time lag compared to web2 in a lightcone podcast that @garrytan was on, they mention that consumer products are getting funded… but crypto isn’t (cos no one is applying) believe that

1/ no one talks about intellectual property (IP) like the japanese ecosystem builders do - it’s the most proven way to build a fanbase locally and globally nothing else japan produces rivals the cultural significance of its IP: think pokémon, naruto, godzilla, etc

2/ upon reflection, this is is probably why projects like @avariksaga disproportionally spend time on character design, lore and storytelling when building @Red_Covenant the way @Avocados_QK eyes light up when telling us about his waifus 😳

liquidity, liquidity, liquidity if you don’t come from a tradfi background, it can be easy to get lost in conversations around market making (whether on CEXs or DEXs) if there’s one thing you need to know, it’s that poor liquidity -> holders cannot sell tokens at desired

@storysylee i can imagine why your characterisation of problems as “real” vs “not real” wouldn’t sit right with some communities though - probably better phrased as solving web2 problems vs web3 problems. i’d say both are valuable, just as consumer apps vs devtools is a false dichotomy for

token utility, actually very often, what your community uses your token for isn’t what you hope they would use it for this translates into sell pressure when holders run out meaningful things to do with your token and decide its best use case is for selling however, this could

bearish on teams that delay TGE because the “the market isn’t ideal” - you’re saying no to - better pulse on your PMF - sustainable token prices - self selecting genuine community members

the way crypto conferences are run is broken because incentives are misaligned organisers’ primary revenue sources are attendee ticketing and sponsorships, but the two are fundamentally at odds at each other the more i pay to attend, the less i want to hear sponsored

@avariksaga @Red_Covenant @Avocados_QK @AnimeFDN 4/ this thread is definitely not inspired by the 5879 people that confused the @magna_digital merch for MANGA 😭 what other projects are harnessing the value of intellectual property successfully? waiting for the day that the next big IP comes from a web3 native project!

concentrating buy pressure founders make the mistake of staggering their token’s entry into the market because of competing timelines from CEXs and other launch stakeholders however, what you really want is for your token to be grabbed off the shelves like toilet paper

on token price sustainability, your “$1b fdv at launch” dreams probably aren’t practical for your projected growth rates - a big launch is an uphill climb for the next 4-5 years, depending on your release schedule choose sustainability, not 24h of bragging rights at launch

last one’s obvious - every rich person knows they should be wary of gold diggers your actual community is defined as people who love your product and happen to get rewards you filter out for those who love your rewards and happen to use your product

Every protocol is once again delaying their TGE due to the quiet and bearish market. Ironically, this might be the perfect timing for the token.

@soleconomist this is the most thoughtful and ambitious pre-launch strategy i’ve seen in a while any criticisms that come your way probably root from either or both of (1) subjectivity, how you draw the line, and (2) comprehensiveness, or where to draw the line these aren’t issues that stem

i like how @pandaberaa put it when i asked about their plans to bootstrap with handpicked validators… what if they don’t do a good job/have incentive misaligned biases? his answer: natural selection empowered by @berachain - which @Moby_intern outlines beautifully here

8. So, how do you use BGT? 👉🏻Start by earning it through providing liquidity on the network. Users can stake their LP tokens in designated #gauges to accumulate BGT rewards. Once you have #BGT , you can delegate it to validators. Validators earn block rewards based on the amount

on PMF, projects need to figure out what token holders actually do with their tokens beyond buy and sell - market dips are ideal for this as they help you cut through the noise
