@0rxbt so the ubik character (together with aixbt?) will then drop video content on the most interesting predictions, to go viral and attract builders/interested speculators?
there’s so much fud around hacks, power, ai, quantum and everything in between, yet not a single meaningful systemic event has happened
best to just ignore the noise
nothing ever happens
quite the opposite. RHC hasn't pushed or funded a single project so far, trying to keep everything as organic as possible
SUI, on the other hand, has zero organic volume and poured hundreds of millions in foundation money into mid ai projects
Robinhood isn't dead. it attracted some of the best onchain talent in the space. building takes time and creates ecosystem stickiness
the rest, the scum stays on Solana with Pump.
tradfi is merging with crypto. every billion dollar project will eventually have its own chain. Vlad knows that
but timing matters. real question is whether he’s willing to take the first mover risk in an illiquid, dry market without regulatory clarity
@TMtheOG@vladtenev don't think it's likely tbh. Crypto is a fraction of their surface area, though it is one of the more revenue-generating. At the end of the day crypto is too experimental for these primarily tradfi companies to put their weight behind
Vlad knows crypto very well, but make no mistake. if he has to choose between sacrificing 5% of Robinhood’s quarterly results or causing an onchain bloodbath, there will be no survivors
the best founders are cold-blooded
if Robinhood doesn’t soon double down on crypto, the chain will be seen as an aurafarm with zero effort behind it
terrible signal ct won’t forgive @vladtenev
study Polymarket and the airdrop discourse
