A lot has been said and shared. People live and act based on their beliefs, and I remain hopeful. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend checking out this insightful piece:

RT @0xsudogm: @0xPrismatic less than 1% unfort, extremely rare, but those are the ones to work with for years to come

@paigeinsf True yet with a small twist 1) if a business is cyclical, that isn’t fundamentally bad but does pose challenges on the ops & mgmt side of things, ie team expands in bull and then sizes down in bear etc. 2) founders need to be ruthlessly honest. don’t let the bull numbers fool you

@j0hnwang What is the systemic risk? Or did that person mean an industry-wide price correction?

And when did being a woman in crypto mean your hard work gets ignored, and rumors spread just because you work closely with someone influential? Haters get traffic. How about everyone else? Love n peace. And again, gong xi fa cai!

造谣一张嘴，辟谣跑断腿，身正不怕影斜，谣言止于智者。 花时间在长期真的有价值的事情上，不要被别人利用成为谣言放大器，陷入造谣者的流量陷阱。 大过年的，与其散播无稽之谈以损己之德，不如以一颗赤诚之心恭迎财神，祝愿我们每个人在新的一年里都能财运亨通，愿望成真🙏

Interesting take. Then is crypto digital money? We need to bring real economy on chain. YZi Labs will continue to fund and support builders who build towards that same vision
The real economy is not money, it is goods & services. Money is simply an abstract representation of real things.

Blaming users for speculation is like blaming them for wanting to make money—it’s illogical. Instead, build what can really address users’ non-speculative needs. Always love this YC slogan: make something people want.
those of u who followed me in defi summer 2020 might remember that i had an episode where i felt super uninspired by defi. i thought dexes were just shitcoin casinos, the 100x leveraged perps were cancerous, and the money legos were just ponzis. i seriously asked myself do i want to be in this industry? i think this was exactly how many ppl feel today towards “financial nihilism”. but later that year i said to myself r users wrong? well, no, users r never wrong. its a permissionless system after all, and no one forced users to do these things onchain. it also occurred to me that the shitcoin casino thing was not a new phenomenon. it was the case in 2017 with icos, and in 2011-13 with litecoin and beyond. so i slowly learned to be at peace with it, shut up, and mind my own business. and if possible, help create the world i want to see. for example, i funded a ton of stablecoin startups in developing that v few investors would touch (and they r doing well!) so, if there’s any personal lesson i could share that could be helpful for everyone in this space, “financial nihilism” has existed since the beginning of the industry, learn to be at peace with it, and instead of whining about it behind a screen, create the world u want to see.

Non-speculative tokens—VC coins, startup coins—need clearer guidelines to thrive. While speculative blockchain use reflects current demand, it's the non-speculative use cases that will take us from good to great.
More tech players are either launching or endorsing memecoins. But startup coins may face risks...
