genuine questions for blockchain foundations/labs people are afraid to ask (not firing shots, seriously curious) - Do you actually care about consumer apps? - If not, is the internal goal to inflate metrics using defi enough so retail will get interested based on those metrics

getting tired of software promo videos that compare their work to athletic excellence (carl lewis), space exploration, political breakthroughs (always the berlin wall lol) and rock icons (freddie mercury). besides it being a tired trend (a16z's first was amazing), you are doing
Kalshi recently raised $300M+ at $5B from Sequoia, a16z, Paradigm and others. Since then, we've grown over 3x, hit $50B of annualized volume, and became the largest prediction market in the world. And today…Kalshi goes global. 140+ countries. 1 liquidity pool.
