What are the best comeback stories or pivots in crypto? Here’s some of my favs: 1) @virtualsprotocol.eth From a gaming guild hit hard by the winter, pivoting to a venture studio in the bear, and now a leading AI agent platform. Simply never giving up. Hats off to @ethermage @empty 2) Drift Protocol Battling issues early on, the FTX implosion, seeing their TVL drop to $1M, to now having $1B in TVL and being a leader in Solana DeFi across multiple categories (perps, borrow lend, vaults, etc). Will always have immense respect and love for @cindyleowtt and David 3) @solana The entire eco’s comeback has been crazy. From being left for dead to being by far the most successful chain across almost every metric that matter. Insane how laser focused @aeyakovenko @rajgokal have been towards their vision of building the decentralised Nasdaq.

4) @pudgypenguins Facing leadership issues before getting bought by @lucanetz. Going mainstream via cute gifs, social posts and toys. Getting close to flipping apes. Looking at their price action, you wouldn’t have known that 2023 was a crypto winter. And this week, $PENGU launched. Another one that’s in the making is @0xjim with Catalyst. Being honest with the landscape of the industry and deciding to skate to where the puck is going. It’s hard to say where they’ll end up but I’ll always bet on Jim. We need to celebrate and highlight such stories more. Teams that keep getting back up and keep trying no matter what happens. Stories from the trenches of building in the most chaotic, rapidly evolving and volatile industry in the world. When everything’s often mercenary, teams that are actually trying to build generational companies get me so excited for where we’re heading in the next 5-10 years.
