Base memecoin season is here. Download /drakula on the App Store: apple.co/3N8hRmi

we're starting to see the early instances of innovators dilemma play out within crypto-native protocols and apps...

Coinbase's launch of @base is a pretty incredible example of leaning into the disruption and redefining what their business looks like in a decade

social tokens, NFTs, memecoins...no matter the medium, all come down to the ability to own a shared idea

Building /seedclub 🌱 /consumercrypto 

Make something people want to be a part of

we don't, we've evaluated but felt their crypto offering wasn't as accurate or comprehensive as something like Messari (this might have changed recently but that's our latest)

enjoying how farcaster + apps building on top are orienting consumers to behaviors beyond writing / messaging

much more of a creative landscape for a user to engage actively with than simply scroll passively

if you're coming to Austin for SXSW + /brandnew @boysclub 
- let's meet up!

DM me for a few events + coffee 🙂

strategies that I find helpful: 

- hosting events help with any social anxiety - when you're the host everyone wants to say hi!
- prioritize 1:1s over events at every conference
- use writing to connect with others
