The number of good crypto product people is closer to 10 than 100.

One insight from this talk (h/t @eulerlagrange.eth) is that post dot com bubble, the sales led model of tech leadership (eg. John Sculley) gave way to the engineer founder / CEO (eg. Zuck)

I suspect we’ll have a similar rotation in crypto, except from R&D / deep eng leaders to product folks

Working on building zkTLS infra/products. A ruthless empiricist and meme connoisseur.

Oh definitely - the analogy wasn’t mean to be on a continuum

I just meant that at peak euphoria of the industry, a certain role is over valued and then rotates into a more productive setup

In crypto, it’s been the “prophet” style infra founder. Eg. Vitalik, Gav, Toly, Sreeram, etc

This makes sense given the heavy infra and R&D focus. But it ought to rotate to the archetype more suitable for consumer products once we cross over from installation to deployment

this has already happened, no?

feels like dorsey, spiegel, silberman, and even zuck are all product focused founders (though most are engineers also)
