If we want better apps, we need better incentives. Investors and founders shouldn’t be getting exits through liquid tokens if there’s been no meaningful, sustainable traction. Success should be DAUs & meaningful adoption, not launching your token at the right time.

Spoke to @ted today briefly about bringing more research content over to Farcaster. Perhaps a full @base.base.eth ecosystem deep dive? 🤔

Recently laid off—would appreciate any recasts! In crypto since 2013, professionally for 7+ yrs. Founding member at The Block (6 yrs), where I was Research Director & built a funding data product used by top institutions. Open to all roles, but best fit for research, ventures, corp dev, or ecosystem. Let’s connect!
