Jurassic Finance

.@Claynosaurz Co-Founder @Cabanimation on why they chose Solana "It felt like a decentralized Silicon Valley. Clusters of team-building startups, then clusters of devs branching out and building other startups. Everyone knew everyone." "There was beautiful cross-pollination between the tech startups being built on Solana and the NFT and art communities. It had culture." "You need tech, you need art, and you need NFTs, which I always felt were the nightclubs in a city." "We're growing an entertainment brand targeted for mass consumption. It's very hard to do that if there's a lot of friction." "Solana felt right for us because we wanted to do experiences. We wanted to entertain people. Gamified collectible loops. Exploring what it means to put assets inside games onchain."

Do people actually want to own a dinosaur fossil onchain? 🦕 Co-founder and CEO of @JurassicFi, Sora, shares his take with @8bitpenis on @ownershipfm Radio #6: "We posted a tweet that was supposed to be a sneak peek, we didn't even say clearly what we were doing.” “We got a follow from @solana, multiple quote tweets from @SolanaFndn members, DMs from @zacxbt, invited to a @solflare talk…, @toly retweeted us, Solana Foundation made a group chat with us on Telegram.” “People just want to hold dinosaurs. It's a human urge." - @Sora_i_guess
