Several of our portfolio companies are in the middle of a hiring spree. Some of them do ±$30mil+ in revenue. Put up a small form to collect details on individuals looking to switch. Drop in details if you're looking to join a rocketship. dco.link/jobs

Just shipped some observations on how the best VCs tend to co-invest in tight knit packs with @shloked for today's newsletter. Read for notes on how VC selection at pre-seed matters a lot more than you'd otherwise think. https://www.decentralised.co/p/networks-in-crypto-vc

Have had a lot more external calls over the last few weeks (haha! business). My assorted talking points about Farcaster that have seemed to resonate the most with people: Farcaster is Singapore,small population but high GDP Every user has a wallet The algo doesn't down rank links You can earn money for posting without a big audience Everything is programmable It's a decentralized protocol under-the-hood

One thing I did not capture here -- percentage of transaction volume is a powerful mechanism for creator and community monetization. Meme coins (when done right) have the power to be a source of revenue for purpose driven DAOs to allocate capital. Think FC+base is in unique positioning for it.

My latest story explores why an increasing number of protocols are exploring token buy-back and burn mechanisms. The transition is not of buy-backs but of business models. More players will begin to to take a portion of transaction volume going forward. https://www.decentralised.co/p/make-revenue-great-again

aligned with Dan/Merkle's assessment on channels. we (openrank/cura) believe channels have great potential but they need a dedicated app and design space to grow. we need to transition from a twitter +reddit mashup for channels on warpcast to new form factors that enable community curation, better UX for conversations/replies, community leaderboards, automatic joining/membership flows. ultimately, we see channels as powerful primitives to onboard net new communities/users to farcaster. we've been onboarding some of the top farcaster channels on Cura and we'll continute to share progress/updates along the way. Reach out to @moe @dharmi @gloriakexinwu @anmworld3 if you're excited to grow your community/channel on farcaster.

Been working on a piece on how founders are thinking different of revenue this year. Tightening venture markets and lack of marginal bids in liquid tokens means more protocols will allocate revenue towards buy backs Feels like a market maturing. This is the exact opposite of what’s going on with meme assets.

Wrote about the role mimesis plays in crypto markets, the seasonality of revenue and why meaning is the need of the hour for crypto as a market. We have been in the trenches too long. Time to build our cathedrals. https://www.decentralised.co/p/death-to-stagnation
