Ah yes, who should bear the cost -- professional investors who after doing diligence, decide to bet on an early-stage venture knowing full well that the majority of investments won't return money?

OR unsuspecting retail audiences?

Really a tough moral quandary 🙄

Seems there's a debate between the ethics of:

1. Project doesn't find PMF and winds down without a token giving their investors a loss.

2. No PMF, launch a token anyways, buy an ecosystem, and pump the token with OTC liquid deals so investors get exit liquidity through retail.

Crypto: “Onboard retail to tokens.”

ETH/Base: “Bring the world onchain.”

^ Simplest way of describing why I love building on Base.

“These coins are GOOD because they have jpegs attached. The other coins are BAD.”

Things that are interesting besides “lottery tickets with a community” (which I do think is actually interesting, but shouldn’t be the ONLY thing):

Stablecoins / permissionless global xfers

Agents owning wallets 

Credibly neutral AI weights/params

Prediction markets

Credibly neutral Zk credentialing

I’m very excited by the next 10 years of crypto

But I’m also exhausted by the last 10 years of shitcoins 

Stablecoins are the way thru, I don’t think many understand this fully
