I am now a founding Engineer at Tab.
I sacrificed a lot for it. I said no to every accelerator, investor and millions of worthless job offers from SF fancy startups.
Not because I am soft and can’t do them.
Because I am brutal and I see what is the best future opportunity for…
the etf is the endgame for those who do not actually have any deeper conviction for crypto and the ecosystem as a whole
if you actually believe in what is being built, you know that tradfi exit liquidity is a complete distraction, keep building and we won't need it.
we often get hung up on consumer applications for crypto, what we forget in this thinking is that crypto has already offered a zero to one improvement over most legacy financial infrastructure and continues to improve on that aspect
it's not stated enough that being a founder / entrepreneur is 95% of the time absolutely shit and miserable but somehow still the only tolerable career choice lol
in a rollup centric world, this makes sense. i fail to understand why one would be on an EVM rollup when they could have an application specific chain given the drastic improvements on UX
speed and interoperability are no longer an issue with todays tech stack
many crypto companies lack any form of accountability because the path to liquidity is essentially guaranteed
companies can create absolutely nothing and the likelihood an investor can exit their position is relatively high
one negative, often understated, side effect of intent based architectures / MEV mitigation schemes is that we continuously stray farther from atomicity guarantees that first-gen blockchains offered
this will also have serious effects on interoperability of protocols
the most valuable resource in markets is data, what is interesting about blockchains is that data is publicly accessible, the value now moves towards interpretation & understanding
when i lived in Dubai this would happen every year, it’s the perfect analogy to what a shit hole that place is, they try to impress with a fancy facade but can’t even build a drainage system
it’s all smoke and mirrors down there
btw at one point the electricity will go out too
every time i interact with curve in a programmatic way, i always get a little concerned with how much money is parked in it
it is probably to the ugliest most spaghetti protocol deployed and actively used
i think about this often, ironically i would say the catalyst for a lot of ethereum's ossification was eth2.0 development, the constant delays etc led to others gaining ground
btw, eth2.0 is still not shipped 🤷♂️
crypto people are so retarded they think this is a good thing, the only thing this leads to is more government scrutiny as another authoritarian government switches to the use of cryptocurrencies
it’s really not that hard guys
if cowswap can get a foothold in the non crypto native sector they will gain significant market-share, they've already become the dominant aggregator in the crypto-native space and the same will happen with their AMM
Welcome to the Infinite Space Bazaar ☄️
Get ready for the first global online Celestia hackathon, from April 2 to May 17, with $100k+ in prizes. 🏁
Register now:
technical innovation of projects adjacent to ethereum at this point has far outpaced that of ethereum at the base layer and could cause the general underperformance of ETH in comparison during the next run
@AriDavidPaul
this tweet is directed at the bullshit culture and investment daos that are just people frontrunning eachother for angel tickets in projects
this is the main reason eth no longer holds dominance in my personal portfolio
even though most of my work still is very ethereum centric
we have to acknowledge there is ossification at the base
Eth might literally end up as one of the best examples of how unforgiving markets can be to participants that are unwilling to adapt to new information.
It has continually under performed, and there is a group of people that think it must go up simply because it always has.…
i like how in crypto you can just say you're "decentralizing" instead of having to admit that you're firing 70% of your workforce, true innovation that is
