Can't help but feel a really strong sense of urgency as someone building a consumer facing crypto product in 2025. You look around everyday and you see all the new tokens dropping, new metas and a general frenzy to catch the next 100x. Compare that with the desire to build a community that will be here for the long-haul paired with an innate crypto centric model that lets your users win in a way they've never been able to before. In my mind it feels like the next 6 months are critical to proving that you're a part of the new wave of crypto and capitalizing yourself to the point of being able to survive another multi-year bear market. Hoping things play out different this time but hope I'm not alone in these feelings!

Is the urgency purely to shore up enough cash to make it through to the next cycle? Or is it driven by other reasons like competition, seeing the market grow, etc?

Would say 70% the later, 30% the former. Coop Recs is well capitalized for the next ~2 years but my biggest worry is that we don't make a big enough splash in the next 6 months to justify another big step up within the next 18 months. We've all been here before - when the music stops the climate is very different. Would said this urgency mainly comes from wanting to spend as much time building a strong foundation while the tides are in our favor vs having to swim upstream during a bear market. This is a 10+ year game but I'd be naive to not admit that each cycle is the time when winners are crowned.

Really thoughtful answer, thanks Lately I've been wondering if it's possible to build a crypto company in a countercyclical way -- ie. easier to shore up capital in a bear, and dampen excesses / expenditures in the bull
