There is no question that DeFi technology is 10x better and there is no question that at some point all of TradFi will move on chain.

What needs to happen?

-> Institutional ready infrastructure
-> Hardened security
-> Better user experience (perhaps even powered by the Web2 institutions)

Traditional asset managers have to evolve or risk becoming irrelevant.

@blocceleratevc Don’t forget the other special guest…

[Kate (Ksenia) Laurence @K_Laurence_]

What’s the state of crypto VC this year?

TLDR: VCs are deploying slowly, looking for reasons to pass, but as the saying goes, fortune favors those who are “contrarian and right”!

Great chat with our friends @alekslarsen @bcap @hosseeb @dragonflyvc @paraficapital @bhatiakishore @Superscript @sethginns @coinfund _io moderated by the one and only @materionaut 🔥

[Bounty @trybounty]

The waitlist is gone!

Starting today we're live on the @Shopify App Store for anyone to install.

Get started: https://t.co/a94TVvsA6R

[Abraham Wolke @abewolke]

We're laying the groundwork for much bigger things that you'll hear about soon.

Making Bounty public on the Shopify app store is the next step.

So, are you ready to put content on autopilot for your Shopify store?

We're ready for you: https://t.co/d9oakQoMbR

[Abraham Wolke @abewolke]

Excited to announce an exciting new feature-set on @trybounty today called Invites!

An important update that decouples your ability to generate content from existing order volume, the primary constraint when leveraging Bounty’s pre or post-purchase widgets on your website today.
