Key takeaways from my first EthCC
1. The main event is a distraction; prioritize 1-1 meetings, dinners, and happy hours for more signal
2. Conferences are essential for deeper involvement in the community and building trust

Short-term = Bearish
Mid-term = Bearish
Long-term = Ultra bullish!
If in doubt zoom out...
I am bearish for the next 3-6 months. That being said, time in the market > timing the market
Crypto as an industry will 10x in the next decade
Reminder:
There are still multiple individual stonks with a higher market cap than all of crypto combined...

Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes all you need to do is create a traditional Web2 product and turn it into a Web 3 product. Let blockchain do it's thing...

Once you transact on Web3 there is no going back
SWIFT and traditional payment systems WILL be defunct
The core use case of crypto is still stablecoins and remittances!
I treat money in my bank accounts like on CEXes:
Your account can be locked. There are transfer limits and other restrictions.
I have multiple bank accounts and just a bit of cash spread out to cover basic utilities.
Once you experience self-custody, there's no turning back.

Fortune favours the bold, especially in crypto!
My first piece of crypto contractor work was as a result of cold outreach
My first part-time role was due to a cold DM
My first full-time role was due to a cold DM
Volume + tenacity will make BD great again
the best place to start your career in any GTM function is at a desk making cold calls.
there is absolutely nothing glamorous about it
but you are forced into resilience via constant rejection.
this is the
#1
skill required in BD.

According to McKinsey, this is what makes a good 'CEO':
1. Vision - reframe what winning means
2. Strategy - make bold moves early
3. Talent - Match talent to value
4. Teamwork - show resolve
A couple of additions:
- Hire fast and fire fast
- You will never have perfect

I never really understood the stigma against shorting?
- Index funds got battered yesterday
-BTC.D is up only
-ALT/BTC pairs are getting destroyed
- Yield curve is close to un-inversion
-The unemployment rate is ticking higher
-Gold is close to ATHs
I'd like to personally thank

Volume of info is defo up only
That being said I think this paradigm shift has somehow led to an increase in info asymmetry.
There are Gen Zs who are proactive, keen, and seek to learn
On the other hand, there are Gen Zs who are trapped consuming and stuck vaping 24/7

I'm testing out multiple different perp DEXs over the next few weeks
Most 'traders' are reluctant to change platforms ( they are sticky ). This means that first mover advantage + an initial incentive is crucial.
What DEX do I need to try out?

VCs target the wrong games with the wrong founders imo
Everseed and Kenny seems like a powerful combo
TL;DR: VCs are terrible tastemakers for gaming content.
What do all the below have in common?
- Among Us
- Lethal Company
- Helldivers
These games all succeeded because they didn’t copy-pasta gameplay, and none of them were backed by VCs. VCs primarily fund “safer” copy-pasta

If you're in Brussels next week
Let's chat🔥
All things crypto and marketing
I wanna see what ur building!
Heading to ethCC today to meet 2 types of folks:
1) Hackers thinking of starting something.
Doesn't matter if you're pre-inception, pre-product, or even pre-idea.
You might still be at your job and thinking about something new / interesting.
I want to jam, hear about what

To add:
I think the dispersion from the mean is insane!
I'd love to see a normal distribution of how teens spend their free time.
Standing out is paradoxically harder and easier.
Harder due to social media saturation?
Easier due to a lot of teens getting "distracted" ?

Leverage your own network and reputation.
Referrals and inbounds are probably more effective than outbounds
Have a CTA at the end of any meeting. " Hey do u know anyone who could be a good fit for XYZ"
People usually only refer the best of the best

What other industry do you know that has the same passion, grit, and intelligence of crypto participants?
Builders are building
Up only shall remain
Don't fade it anon
No idea where the market's heading in the short-term, but the trajectory is up on a longer time horizon.
Stay focused. Now's the time to plant seeds: research, hire, build, invest, reflect, network.

@Hadley
Here's some advice for applicants:
1. Know you're boss/partner inside out ( learn how they think and act ). This will help both parties when it comes to decision making
2. Curate EVERYTHING. Take first meetings and do the processing.
3. Build a relationship and work on trust!

I have used the double negative question in ALL of my interviews in the past few weeks ( 15+ )
It's definitely my favourite!
Most people ask me to repeat the question so they have time to process tbh.

VCs are without a doubt massively over-allocating right now.
From what I am seeing, crypto companies are cash rich.
Seems a very bizarre time in the crypto-verse.
Sentiment and alt/btc pairs are down the drain, but companies are flush with capital??

Makes sense
I'm personally staying for away from any alt rn
I think alts are bleeding back to btc and are likely to continue to do so
See Others/btc and (Total3-usdt)/btc

Stablecoin market update:
1. PYUSD now exceeds $500m MC
2. USDT accounts for >15M daily transactions on Tron
3. If USDC or USDT collapses we are all fucked😀
Imo we need to consider stablecoin diversification more seriously
DeFi isn't very decentralized right now...

Web3 hiring is a massive struggle
Here are some lessons I have learned from interviewing applicants:
1. Attitude & energy is 10x more important than a CV. You cannot teach this. It is built within and hard to fake
2. Learn more about the person and their goals / future
