You've got to put your bodies upon the gears & upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop!


Today, we announce our $72 million Series A, co-led by @multicoin and @SignalFire. fun.xyz/news/series-a

Let me be clear what I am saying and not saying: I am NOT saying: let's forcibly shut down protocols (we can't), or let's only use the largest ones, or that teams shouldn't build new protocols. I AM saying: there are a lot of zombie protocols out there with basically the front doors unlocked and no one inside anymore. These are like blighted homes and we need to get rid of them, or the whole neighborhood will suffer. The way we change that is by CHANGING THE NORMS around shutdowns and giving these founders a graceful way to exit. Right now there is no playbook on how to wind down a DeFi protocol, and we need to make one, ASAP.

Are these the people you want "shaping Bitcoin's future"? The FBI Director. The Acting AG. The SEC Chair. The CFTC Chair. Bitcoin was literally invented to route around these people. Now they're the keynote speakers.






basically every og defi founder has liked this tweet make of that what you will

Crypto is a mortuary right now. Walking dead of people confused wondering what’s going on. They just haven’t realised the suits have arrived & with them the Wild West between decentralization and centralization is their endless graveyard to wander.



The shift in the crypto fundraising landscape the past 6 months has been insane. Crypto VCs used to have to constantly be networking/writing/podcasting/going on spaces/promoting your thesis/getting on 10 deal flow calls a week, to get into good deals...now it's literally enough to just have capital to write checks. Deals are being pushed rather than dug out. Inbound if people know you have money is at an all-time high. Most firms are either 1) Out of money 2) Moved to Series A and beyond or 3) Fundraising (with no success). Deals that used to close in 2-3 weeks now close in 2-3 months. Firms with questionable business models or copy pasta of the latest trend are getting zero primary or follow-on funding (Good news!). There are now realistically <20 firms writing checks in pre-seed/seed. VCs basically have the pick of any deal they want, with more time to do DD. IMHO 25/26 are going to be historic vintages for those who stick around.
