@Mat_Sherman Congrats Mat!

PSA: I shut Seedscout down. Several factors arose that made keeping the entity more of a risk than an asset. I want to thank my investors who bet on an outsider with an ambitious vision to democratize venture capital. We achieved that vision, but we didn’t find the business model to sustain it. Thank you to our early adopters and core founder community for supporting us through the various iterations as we worked to find a viable model. Thank you to those who supported Seedscout as mentors or venture partners to our founders. Thank you to Travis, Benny, and the rest of the folks who were on the core team, whether for two days or two years. And thank you to my wife for dealing with insane chapter of my professional journey, especially as we brought our first child into the world 366 days ago. Seedscout was a struggle. We built innovations, but we were unable to capitalize on them due to various challenges. However, if Seedscout accomplished anything, it was turning me into an insider. Before Seedscout, I knew five investors. Now I know hundreds. Before Seedscout, I was connected only to the AZ ecosystem. Now I’m connected globally. Before Seedscout, I was blind to how this industry operated. Now I can see more clearly than ever. I don’t know what the future holds for me. What I do know is that I can’t unsee what I’ve seen. There is still work to be done to improve this industry, and I have little faith that anyone else will approach it the way I know I can. But those answers, solutions, and ideas must wait. For now, I’m taking a break—from founding, from fighting, and from the struggle. I’ll likely get back on the horse another day to finish what I started. As I said in 2019, “It’s an insider’s game. I got pattern recognition; once I’m in, I’m giving everybody else admission.” The job is half done. Thanks for reading. RIP Seedscout.

@BlockadeLabs Avoiding building because I am having too much fun.

What are you building today!?

@samkazemian Any further comments given the past few weeks?

I'll just end with the exact same tweet I made 7 months ago, seems even more apt today #AllRoadsLeadtoFRAX twitter.com/samkazemian/st…

Quick 🧵 on why every single stablecoin protocol will end up looking identical to @fraxfinance given sufficiently long time. #AllRoadsLeadtoFRAX @MakerDAO launched their DAI minting module today. This is a bigger deal than most people think because it makes $DAI algorithmic.

@GJr_Valles Bruh you’re Mexican

@camallen_ 🐻

Dead cat bounce

@DefiDrew Us. Which makes us …?

Unfortunately feeling similar about $LINK Prices down means fee revenue down More ghost chains, less new dapps launching = reduction in rate of new price feeds NFT/gamefi bear bad for VRF usage Weakening multi chain narrative bad for CCIP utility Who is buying?

@CryptoCamus @garrettBTCbrah @UltraXBT Yeah DUDE

@deepwelldtx Hey DeepWell- will games created at the game jam have some sort of public showcase where those who couldn't attend can still check out the final products?

The BowTied community has been great to us so we want to give back & thank @BowTiedBull Gifting 3 annual subscriptions ($100) to the best macro financial newsletter out there: bowtiedbull.substack.com *To Enter*: like/RT + subscribe to mintcalendar.substack.com Winners 📢: May 1

@DefiDrew Man I’m so excited, not even by default for being a Linkie, but actually for their product after I stopped giving a shit for a few months

Bancor revenge tour going to be lit $BNT was one of my favorite farms, and v3 solves all the prior complaints. I’ll be moving much of my $LINK stack there

@Banclord Oh I see, if contracts gets released same time for everyone you can’t set up a bot beforehand?

@Banclord Is the "target" the cap after each day? So days 1 through 4 will be crowded because only $170,000 can be deposited per TKN per day?

@CryptoDavid_ @BowTiedKitten @aksil94 @Bancor Yeah basically higher smart contract risk

@BowTiedKitten @aksil94 @Bancor No, that's not the risk of a beta release In essence, a beta version is considered always super-close to the "final release". It's the 1st time final users can use it, hence they may find some kind of misbehavior or in worst case a bug could lead to lose funds. That's the risk

From community call today, more dates on @bancor v3: 🔸coming 2 weeks (week 4Apr + week 11Apr): Code release + 1M$ bug bounty starts + start of Beta phase. 🔸Week of 9th of May: Full release of V3🔥🔥🔥 *Dates may change slightly **Beta could run less than the 4 max weeks $BNT

@korpi87 To see the hype that the "liquidity as a service" projects popular a few months ago got (e.g. Tokemak, Olympus) and then see what Bancor is building- man I'm excited.

I cover many DeFi-related topics in a form of comprehensive and informative threads. Check the below tweet for the list of my older threads that can still be valuable today and consider following me for more. twitter.com/korpi87/status…

Incentivizing liquidity via reward programs or owning liquidity via Olympus-style bonding have been important milestones in decentralized liquidity advancement. Yet, both solutions have flaws. What @Bancor v3 offers may become an ultimate solution for a sustainable liquidity.🧵👇

@korpi87 Do you imagine any "bribe" model in the future? Seems like a quick and cheap way to get a LOT of BNT demand, although there might be some long term consequences

23) When I think about it, it's actually really surprising the Bancor DAO grants all these privileges for free... Everything a new project needs to enter the world of community-sourced, decentralized liquidity is a positive outcome of the governance vote by the $BNT stakers.

@korpi87 Amazing thread! Bancor has always been ahead in terms of features but this is the first time I feel truly excited that V3 can put it all together and not just be technically superior, but also blow the market away in terms of its impact.

AMMs have been arguably the biggest innovation in DeFi and yet they haven't really evolved much since Bancor launched the first one in 2017. Most dexes today differ only in front-ends. I crave for substantial innovation and I think it's close. Let's talk about @Bancor v3. 🧵👇

@ZenoBNT @Bancor brilliant videos thanks for creating

Part 3 of the BIP 15 Explainer: youtu.be/wBA-eWpPldY This is all about @Bancor 's new single sided pool token and how new projects, and their users, can benefit from this new tech.

@Banclord bots basically eat everything up day 1?

@RadixMonk_XRD $5 radix on my birthday would be cool

RadixMonk technical analysis update: Can we make it to $5 by 1st May?? as per my loose prediction from Nov 2021

@DefiDrew Why do you call them value extractors? Everything you listed above somehow actually made the space worse by existing? Seems like a stretch to me but open to counterarguments

How could I forget $SOL eco 🪦 And with larva labs peacing out they belong on the list. $80M for meebits wasn’t enough. Another 20M for their alien punk wasn’t either. Needed to sell out for 9 figs beeple made off with $60M too but he’s OG and based

Retail aka new money entering crypto just spent two years getting absolutely abused. They got REKT over and over again. From defi forks to dog money to NFTs to $OHM forks, then vaporware gamefi/metaverse roadmaps with billion dollar valuations $ICP maybe the worst of all
