@Balajis says Kazakhstan is Singapore with space to build and claims they will put up a statue of @CryptoHayes.

Plus, Justin Drake wants crypto in “bunker mode” after the OpenAI drop.

Blast, Abstract, and the L2 shutdowns correlate with night clubs going from fully booked to zero bookings.

Is crypto VC going extinct?

"No, I think it's evolving."

"If you rewind the clock back to 2021–2022, there were a lot more VCs who raised money on the idea that they were going to deploy into a crypto venture."

"And the idea was that, well, anybody can do this. You just have to sling some money around and some tokens and everything goes up automatically."

"We're in a very different world now. We're in a regime where there's not that many players that are really institutional quality, and that can really add value to a lot of these projects."

"Most of the easy money in crypto is gone now."

I took the stage on Oct 8 this week to share my keynote on "The Case for Active Management in Crypto after the 10/10 Washout"

My argument is simple: this is the strongest case in years for active management in crypto. This is not because active managers are smarter, but because the opportunity set in crypto has changed. Growth is no longer concentrated in the biggest assets.

Owning the beta alone didn't pay, but active selection does.

Not everything at TOKEN2049 is a panel.

A punching bag for the red candles. A pull up bar for the gains. Yoga for the volatility. A reaction game for anyone who thinks they trade fast.
