It is easier to stand still or destroy, than it is to create. Because leaders at the top of DAOs are more populists than they are executors. Because DAOs are often measured by price, as opposed to other KPIs. Because it can be hard to fire people in DAOs without drama, which…

This is how the early colonies in the United States did it - small towns would pool capital to win over a single schoolteacher. This also meant parents carefully vetted and watched the teacher’s impact. Curriculum was the process of local teachers trying to scale themselves.…

GPUs need a massive amount of liquid cooling (water) to handle all of the AI demand. A big brain cooled off by natures fundamental building block. And yet 99% of people aren’t drinking water as if it isn’t a key unlock. Drink more water, think smarter 💦
Just remember, when wealth rotates back into DeFi people start suddenly caring about the privacy of their holdings. And within that desire for privacy, they still want to earn yield. @Shade_Protocol is a 3+ year privacy DeFi suite awaiting this next new cohort with open arms.
Nice. Lots of hard work & disclosures went in to make this happen 👍

I am assembling a team. VCs, this is your time to shine ✨
One of the best new teams building on the Cosmos hub is just starting their fundraise to build a 15% high-yield savings protocol -- only possible on the hub's multichain dev platform DM me if you're interested in meeting them
Strategic clarity is the prelude to effective resource allocation. I’d argue this is why coherent, compelling stories are investable - they’re a signal that resources have the potential to be directionally, consistently allocated.
Life rarely follows your blueprint—but it will, on a long enough time horizon, reflect your (effective) effort.
