    Today I lost just about all of my savings in the @eulerfinance hack. Down about as bad as can be. And yet I’m feeling more clear-headed and motivated than I ever have in my life. So allow me a stream of consciousness on dealing with a loss of catastrophic proportions 👇

    Crypto data analytics is fragmented - there isn't a ubiquitous "Bloomberg Terminal" yet For anyone looking to do serious research, it can be difficult to find the data you're looking for So here's a mega-thread on the Crypto Analysts Toolkit 🛠️👇

    Escaping the tyranny of the screens for a week. Don’t let the market do anything crazy or any important things happen while I’m gone. Cool thanks 🤙

    Bitcoin maximalism is so dumb. Imagine builders of the early Internet vocally disparaging innovation in networks that help bring the space to the mainstream and are even synergistic to what your building 🤦‍♂️

    Reminder that DeFi is still only ~3% of the entire crypto market cap. Yet the addressable market for financial assets is orders of magnitude higher than digital gold/offshore wealth commonly used for bitcoin Do with this as you please.

    Regardless of how Bitcoin ends up it will always be an economic anomaly that an unbacked currency sprouted from nothing accrued $100's of billions of value in a decade... There's no turning back, it has already done enough to forever shape how people think of money

    Alpha has now originated over $1 billion in loans since they launched just a few months ago. They're now consistently doing more daily volume than @AaveAave Probably not worth paying attention to though 😏

    Even at a $3 billion mcap $UNI is still only valued at less than 7x annualized revenue Taking its closest comp @BalancerLabs which is at 17.5x that would put $UNI at $7.5 🤑

    It took Apple 42 years to hit $1 trillion and another 2 years to hit $2 trillion. Crypto hit $1 trillion in 1/4 the time Wouldn't be surprised if the same held true for the second ;)
