Gm chat, let’s talk goals For much the last year I was wagie because being t**** maxi made me poor; this gave me lots of time to think about how to run and grow GT Firstly - some reflections. I once again appreciate how hard it is to keep up with crypto space for most ppl. Years of logging into crypto every day numbs you to how most people interact with the space. While I was waging I made a point to try lots of different eco’s and lurk new parts of CT with @KT1jabba. Biggest lesson is that solana is peak, for many reasons. But another lesson is that L2 UX is pure shit and will likely die in the next few years, which I already knew but it’s very clear after trying it LOL. Also I spent time in the memecoin trenches as well, which was both fun and eye-opening in terms of how hard it is to get an edge in such a PvP market. One big lesson for me is how low quality lots of other communities are. As a founder you need the skill to quickly separate bots from high quality users, and I didn’t realize how much absolute fluff and noise most communities are made of. For tezos people you can be happy about this cuz my mind has shifted. Our community (specifically, the degen/Defi/fun people) is only about 50-100 strong but you are all very high-quality users. This is reason #1 why I still work on tezos and why it’s still All Roads baby. (Reason #2 is because OCaml contracts are the best) In summary: Bullish: SOL + liquid markets + low latency + socialFi + fair launchers + embedded wallets + tezos degens + growing the pie + betting + entertainment + FUN Bearish: L2s + infra jerking + alignment + corpo trash + bots + AI reply agents — So what’s next? Let’s start at a macro level I am very unorganized, most know this. I like to go round robin and switch project by project to build up larger systems that complete my goals (ex. spicy+matter) Its a double edged sword. I want to pivot a little and give myself more structure, so for the next era of GT I’m splitting our development cycle into two parts: Singleplayer and Multiplayer MULTIPLAYER projects are most similar to how I worked on tezos stuff. Hopping from one project to another with space for events in between. This is how I’ll be continuing to do any tezos stuff, cuz the creation burden on tezos is far higher than other chains with more devs & users. (Lower network effects and I have to do lots more stuff myself, rather than copying code from others) SINGLEPLAYER projects is the new style, which is more like how most startups actually run. Focus on one major product and iterate until it’s creating revenue. Sounds simple but it’s hard for me to focus in one area like this lol So the point is to have ongoing “multiplayer” projects, but have JUST ONE “Singleplayer” project that we’re grinding on for at least a year. — So wtf are we doing? Our Singleplayer mission for this year will be a major focus on building @DoubleDipLOL: creating our first real protocol on SOL, adding a token, onboarding creators to socialFi. Multiplayer will be business as usual on tez: building ODDITY, ArtDEX, Spicy, Etc In summary: DoubleDip: major focus all year for GT ODDITY: more of a marketing focus, aggressively onboard non-tezos users to the beta ArtDEX: rebrand is coming, then integrate SOL and expand salsa eco to SOL Sprouts: new URL on sprouts[dot]wtf. build up the tezos micro-trenches by adding new deployment styles Spicy: lending ❤️ So hop on the genius team bus you crazy fucks 🚍
