@Forbes Moved to Portugal. 🇵🇹 Here, Golden Visa now means investing in the local economy - not just fueling real estate speculation (was needed). Solid funds: A-rated corporate bonds, some balanced with crypto, and arguably the best EU citizenship… but I might be biased.
And automated claim settlements…
I do believe this could be a public/private angle - a combination of a cross-DePIN subscription model (paid by municipalities) and risk management/automation (paid insurances) or the basis for a decentralized insurance (esp. for areas that are not easily insurable).
🥷Unnoticed by many, communities of highly engaged #citizens around the world are steadily and thoroughly closing the #infrastructure gaps that are blocking our transition to a #regenerative society 🌳
👉 GLOBAL microflexibilities = @combinderio
👉 OPEN charging = @charge_xyz
👉 REAL smart meters = @arkreen_network
Amazing feeling to exchange perspectives with multiple pioneering teams in one session and have the relevancy of our solutions confirmed by one of the largest global platforms for #sustainable cities - @UTMCProject ! ✊
📢 Looking forward to the word being spread, for our time as a minority to end soon!

In our first Grid Collective session, we looked at how Community Power drives Energy Transition.
⚡Why it matters: To scale local Net-Zero efforts – such as energy grid optimization, renewable energy adoption and EV charging networks – we need inclusive, efficient P2P infrastructure.
Community-powered networks leveraging Web3 & AI are making it happen.
Big thanks to @combinderio (@KaiSiefert), @arkreen_network (@Merlin_M_O) and @charge_xyz (@itsVLVT) for sharing insights!
Also, thanks to @UTMCProject for the support.

6/6 Download the report here: https://t.co/ouyaOJHVos. Heads up, it’s directed at industry stakeholders and in 🇩🇪.
If you’re a Web3 player with a market-ready solution solving real problems for the traditional industry, ping me - I might have an idea or two.💡
Out now! I led a tokenization report for the German machinery industry with @hyAxelSpringer, just published by @VDMAonline (representing 3k+ companies).
While aimed at traditional corporates, here are some insights that matter for Web3 players.👇 🧵6/6
#5 ESG regulation creates opportunity.
EU industries must cut ecological footprints. Tokenized models for impact tracking, offsets, and regenerative practices will be key to ESG compliance.
Stalled now by greenwashing fears and rule confusion, but the shift is inevitable. 🌱📈
Not so hot take: Demand-first DePINs will emerge - no speculative tokens needed. P2P infra pure play with transparent revenue splits, and institutional-grade compliance from day one. 🔥 #DePIN
(NEW POST)
DePIN is widely viewed as an area uniquely suited for crypto networks but we @CompoundVC still believe there's a lack of appreciation for the true breadth of impact it can have
@knowerofmarkets and i went deep on
> how traditional infrastructure providers serve customers today
> why those markets function the way they do
> how distributed alternatives could redefine existing markets or create new ones
> what types of new DePIN-inspired networks we'd like to see built and partner with
& a lot more
i want to thank @knowerofmarkets for all his work & research on this (and everything else he supported us with over the summer) -- it was awesome to see his development and pace of learning for what was ultimately a crazy-diverse set of industries/markets. really excited for him and happy to see this piece come to life

Will #DePIN manage compliance with industry regulations? Will DePIN make Supply Chains sexy again and is DePIN the decentralized version of IoT? Time will tell!
@jilliangodsil got to speak with VCs. Some food for thoughts.
