In 2019 @indexcoop by @SetProtocol was when I realized crypto was ready for an institutional product roadmap. The ability for anyone to create their own customized portfolio with automatic rebalancing is not yet appreciated by the market. Itโs massively disruptive to tradfi.
Back in 2019, @SetProtocol V1 was one of the first DeFi protocols I used regularly. I've followed them through the launch of V2 and the formation of @indexcoop. Today, it feels like coming full circle as we launch their indexes on @L1Advisors and introduce them to the RIA.

In 1920 - Socialism, Communism, Republics, and Constitutional Monarchies were the norm. The west's liberal democracy model which put individual freedom first, backed by capitalist free markets (as opposed to central planning) was still young but rapidly showing a greater path.
This is why crypto needs to win - it will propagate economic freedom around the world. Great speech from Milei at WEF.
