Great stuff I read this week… https://collective.flashbots.net/t/it-s-time-to-talk-about-l2-mev/3593 https://x.com/defi_monk/status/1809236196209344828 https://x.com/poopmandefi/status/1809848914738344360 https://x.com/paramonoww/status/1811083786773483628 Allowing anyone to bet any size on anything will become a reality. https://mirror.xyz/1kx.eth/jnQhA56Kx9p3RODKiGzqzHGGEODpbskivUUNdd7hwh0 https://medium.com/@markleontev/lets-talk-solana-thesis-1-453955f910c6 https://greenfield.xyz/2024/07/04/the-muted-seven-7-things-you-should-consider-re-confidential-compute/ Some Poorly Researched Ideas of the Week Easier to raise capital. Too many tokens. Many usage metrics are incentivized. Betting on the founder is a good plan… Believing in the future… Having a stubborn founder and investor. Every cycle, we see a refinement of old ideas and new infrastructure for developers to build on. What new things are being enabled and developed? Optimizing EVM hasn't been done by most teams (e.g., current teams working on MegaEth, Monad). The prices of Bitcoin and ETH are driven by institutions. In 2017, people tried to integrate IoT into blockchain. In 2021, people tried to integrate the Metaverse into blockchain. In 2024, people are trying to integrate AI into blockchain. Wouldn't it be nice to have a story of Crypto X AI? Bitcoin L2s are mostly Bitcoin sidechains. New York, Singapore, and Dubai are the best places for crypto. Technology only gets better. Prediction markets are getting integrated into news.
