Started in bear cycles that led to next bull cycle 3+ years later:

2008: Bitcoin

2014: Ethereum

2018: DeFi, NFTs, L1s

2022: DAOs, social tokens, TCRs, L2s, L3s, ZKPs

TCRs in 2017 were too theoretical and complex, were trying to solve problems around curation that didn't yet exist but now do (or are starting to), and also, their designs were directionally right but practically flawed

Why do you think TCR have only 'taken off' now, even if they were introduced in 2017?

Unreal Engine + EVMs + Account Abstraction Building /evmwarfare

actually, i think when crypto has another bullrun, AI hype will be pulling back

You missing a crucial piece which will lead the next bullrun: AI

DAOs 3.0... which will not be like the ones we see today

DAOs when there is clarity around legal wrappers no?

because they are social networks of capital and people

TCRs 2.0, which will be different from the original design

Can you share more on token curated registries?

Imma give a hot take and say post next halving in 2024 (and the ensuing bull) is going to be about decentralized identity and 🌶️🚨 on-chain KYC mechanisms. Applications of ZKP really

But there were many things that characterised 2014/2018 that did not lead to the next boom too

Some of these 2022 things are far less interesting than others
