The next generation crypto investor is on the ground floor of the ecosystem.and has a view on everything. From the tech, to the culture. VCs that are 4-5 levels removed won’t be able to compete.

Many Blockchains will not be able to cross the chasm. The preferences of the Early Adopters are not the same as the Majority. High-Throughput/Next-Gen Chains allow Censorship Resistance at SCALE

We are in the early innings of a profound technological and cultural shift which will change the way we spend our time, attention, and money

The vast majority of VCs in the space are focused on Ethereum and EVM. This is a historic misallocation of resources and most people are not technical enough to understand the differences between blockchains and don’t have views of their own. You need to be smart on the tech….

These IRL brands getting into NFTs are very interesting. Just picked the Kevin Chain

Crypto VCs should be highly technical and have a clear research view on the space. Today this is not the case, but being smart on the tech is going to be a major differentiator in the next few years. Being early is not enough. .

Over the next year some of the most strongly held beliefs and assumptions of what a blockchain should look like will be drawn into question. This is how the paragons of the old world crumble silently.

You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe sequential blockchains with side chains are the future. You take the red pill, you realize all modern hardware is multi core, and you see how deep this parallel VM blockchain rabbit hole goes

Some blockchains can push the limits of physics. Others will never test those limits.

There will be a Pokémon Go moment for a Web3 App or protocol. And it will be built on a highly performant blockchain that can support tens or hundreds of millions.

It’s hard to be internet money and the future of how people spend their time on the internet on 2kb/s. We are going to need more data propagation… 😅 $BTC sorry not sorry.

People love to hold hands and dream of a multi-chain future where all of their bags make it. The reality is some blockchains are built to scale for mass-adoption but most are not.

When analyzing an industry where only ~15M people sign transactions on chain, a first principles approach is warranted. Network effects remain very limited. Source: @ElectricCapital, @github

Everyone is engagement farming off Solana twitter. For many VC funds this means nothing because they are 3-5 levels removed from the ground floor of the ecosystem. This is a leading indicator for those in tune with what it means.

You are telling me that new generation blockchains are propagating 1500x as much data as ETH currently?

Did someone say… Frictionless 👀🚀.
Blockchains should be accessible, fast, and frictionless. Hear from the co-founders of @orca_so, @rawfalafel & @oritheorca, about how Solana’s low latency and high throughput enables them to focus on building their product 🐋. #OnlyPossibleOnSolana

Layer 1s can be pushed much much harder before L2s become a requirement. Chains that rely on an L2 solution so early in their existence are simply not built to scale.

If your goal is mass adoption with hundreds of millions of concurrent users even the best L2 and sharding solution is NOT enough to compensate for a non-performant L1.

ETH has admitted defeat on its PoW Bitcoin hard money dreams. But a huge portion of its community still believes in solving for decentralization at the expense of performance. This should be interesting!. Software and marketing are easy to change. Culture and beliefs are hard

Building on the right chain(s) is a non-trivial decision that is on par with what to build. Some chains have the features required to scale to hundreds of millions of users but most do not.

The data doesn’t lie, it tells a story. It’s always been there for those willing to listen. Those who choose to ignore it will bend the knee.

Next generation blockchains will dominate the next cycle in terms of adoption, usage, and developer activity.

Cool to see our research cited in @TheTieIO's quarterly report. Block size matters. Next generation chains make block space a commodity and we believe this is a fundamental requirement for mass-adoption

The public's perception vs. reality of Solana has never been wider . Now more than ever the Solana community needs to come together to tell their story. I'll make sure to step up and do my part over the coming months, but for now, I'll leave you with this🫡
