If anyone is building cars that can backflip or frontflip over a Semi and stick the landing, my DMs are open.

The next generation of mobility isn’t range or 0-60. It’s who can clear a truck while rotating and still land clean enough for production.

Bonus if it does it autonomously and doesn’t need a pilot with a death wish.

We’re writing checks for this. Seriously.

token tl;dr's

usual suspects (founders + vcs etc) still showing up, less KOLs and grifters and random firms trying to sell you weird marketing or advisory services

less tokens being listed in general - almost all new launches engaging in some form of *opinionated* market making, dovetails with less VCs deploying capital and fewer rounds being done. more and more "real businesses" questioning the rationale of having a token at all

generally seeing less "interesting" but more "backable" businesses. tokenization still hot, more cool stuff coming on chain (ie. total return swaps) and more unique sources of yield being tokenized

vibes decent, good to see old friends

I cannot even begin to say how proud I was of Michael “Heinrichtor Scale” Heinrich. It’s a testament to him and his company @0G_labs that he had the initiative and courage to get up there and do comedy for the first time.

@0G_labs - a funny company. Meditate on it. (Inside joke)
