One of the signs of a builder bull market is new category creation and enablement We're seeing that across the board today - DAOs 2.0 - Attention marketplaces - Frames / mini apps - Tokenization of the AI supply chain (compute, model contributions, data) What else?

Games seem like a massively undertapped source for training data MMORPGs in particular Ability to learn how crowds behave in various simulations (pandemics, resource shortages, etc) seems immensely valuable for LLMs focused on improving public-policy decision making

Kraken acquisition of NinjaTrader today reinforces that the logical end state is for every exchange to offer every type of asset Many ways to get there - Equity platforms offer crypto (eg Robinhood) - Crypto exchanges expand into add'l assets - Tokenize everything

In 2010, there were just 14 unicorns In 2020, there were over 600 Today, there are nearly 1500 (and approx 50 decacorns) Individual investors are increasingly getting shut out of the opportunity to invest early in their favorite products. Onchain capital markets help fix this

If you believe LLMs are eating the world, the logical conclusion should be to publish more online One of the most direct ways to ensure your voice / opinions get (at least a little) incorporated in the models It's all training data
