«Where do you see your company in 5 to 10 years?»

I used to struggle answering questions like these. I’d resort to answering with vague statements about the product or roadmap. 

Every time was a missed opportunity  to make people excited about @dune.eth

These beliefs should paint a picture of a world where what you are building is inevitable. 

Here is how I think about @dune.eth:

1. blockchains will be the rails for the majority of value transfer in the world

2. blockchains make it 100x easier to build financial applications, and we’ll see a huge boom of «financialization», bringing even more value onchain

3. there is no data that is more valuable than financial and behavioral data, and it will ultimately all end up on a blockchain

4. just like there is not a single database installation or technology that powers every app in the world, onchains apps will end up being built on many blockchain stacks across thousands of chain deployments with varying degrees of decentralization and economic security

5. data fragmentation is inevitable and very costly for all market participants: investors, developers, end users

6. there will more data, chains, apps for a single team to reliably serve and make usable

To me, what we are building at Dune is a direct answer to our beliefs of what the future looks like. 

There are likely other great ways of explaining our vision, but I like this one. If this future comes true, I believe Dune is inevitable.

Essentially, I lacked a framework and language to express my vision for Dune.

I now think the best way to explain your vision is to state a set of beliefs about the future that are both wildy ambitious, but also somewhat plausible.
