One of the best ways to grow is to focus on building a product for core users and then grow towards retail Hyperliquid, focusing on perp traders the most sophisticated traders and then grow Solana, focusing on core memecoin traders Many such cases

The internet’s micro-payment dream is finally here, and it’s reshaping how creators get paid online. I didn’t know I get paid to be in this app - weekly payouts - noice The old creator economy was broken. Platform takes 30-50% cuts.

9/ The future of governance isn't about who has the most tokens or who can buy the most votes. It's about creating systems where good decisions naturally emerge from market forces.

8/ We're seeing early adoption now: - @Optimism building futarchy infrastructure - @MetaDAO proving it works - Multiple DAOs exploring implementation - @Polymarket and @Truemarketsorg showing prediction markets work The revolution is already happening.

7/ This gets even better: In futarchy: - Manipulation gets expensive fast - Good predictors gain influence naturally - Incentives align with outcomes - No more plutocracy OR vote selling It's governance that actually works.

6/ The economics are beautiful: Can't buy votes - Must risk real money - Market punishes bad actors - Experts naturally have more influence - Decisions based on expected outcomes No more cheap governance hacks.

4/ Why this kills vote buying: Try manipulating a prediction market: - You need massive capital - Market fights back - You lose money if wrong - No guaranteed return That 13x governance hack? Impossible under futarchy.

5/ Look at what happened at MetaDAO: Someone tried testing their futarchy market with a controversial proposal to mint tokens at below market price. Result? - Generated $380k+ in trading volume - Market naturally defended itself - Bad proposal failed - System worked as designed

3/ Enter Futarchy: Instead of voting or buying votes, you BET on outcomes. Want to make a governance decision? - Set a measurable goal (token price, revenue, etc) - Let people bet which option achieves it - Execute what the market predicts will work

2/ The dirty secret of governance: Token voting was always a hack. It gives you two terrible choices: - Rich whales control everything - OR - Votes get bought for pennies on the dollar There has to be a better way.

1/ Here's what happened: Guy spent $10k on Lobby - Got control of 19.3M ARB votes - Used it to elect someone to committee - That position pays 66 ETH - 13x return on investment Would you trust a system where votes are this cheap?

Last weekend someone paid just 5 ETH (~$10k) to control $6.5M worth of Arbitrum votes. That's more voting power than Wintermute and L2Beat combined. The token voting model is fundamentally broken. But there's a solution that makes vote buying impossible 🧵
