What are you most excited about for crypto in 2025?

for me, in random order...

1. Stablecoin payments
2. Prediction markets
3. The rise of the self custodial "super apps"
4. Decentralized social
5. Base
6. Getting legislation passed in the US
7. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
8. Tokenized traditional securities
9. Getting capital formation onchain
10. Getting perpetual futures approved in the US

we are building the future of the internet, right here, right now.

is it messy and weird and scary at times? yes absolutely. 

but couldn't imagine a better group of people to be doing it with.

A crypto investor reached out to me and is interested in “funding a research paper about tokenization as a new mechanism for funding science moonshots.” He has some notes/ideas, but thinks it should be written up as an econ paper

He has $40k to devote to this. DC me if interested or if you have a referral
