Over my years investing in marketplaces, I've realized there are marketplaces that should exist but that don’t, because of limitations in the systems they are built on. Crypto has potential answers to these problems, enabling new marketplaces to emerge. https://variant.fund/articles/crypto-net-new-marketplaces/

Farcon energy in 2024 really reminds me of Silicon Valley or SXSW 10 years ago: - techno-optimistic - generous / pay it forward - default trust - everyone willing to chat and meet with anyone bc we're all 1-2 hops separated 🥹
