Not to glaze but I am bullish on crypto funds that have switched to first person shooter mode/venture building vs. passive allocation mode Even if you don't agree with Tempo it is a higher level strategy than just assessing founders as they walk through the door I would say the work we are doing with Sky is similar, and stands to benefit our portfolio disproportionately, and if you don't have a strategy like this I would argue you are cooked We are at a point in crypto where top GPs know how crypto should be used, better than most founders, if you are waiting for founders to blow your mind with a killer crypto app vs. making it yourself I would argue you don't know what you are doing You need to get in the cockpit and help fly the plane vs. being a passenger princess
Farcaster is admitting what everyone felt for a while. The decentralized social network never found real PMF. Despite 4.5 years of trying and a few successful adoption spikes. X networks effects too hard to break free from. Instead, Farcaster will focus on being a wallet first, social network second. >user signs up >funds wallet >uses the wallet >finds it useful >while using wallet user finds social features "It’s far easier to add a wallet to a social network than a social network to a wallet." - DWR “come for the tool, stay for the network” It seems the same strategy Base app is built on.
