cypherpunk technologies ($cyph) will be one of the best performing stocks of 2026, incredibly asymmetric.

thank you for your attention to this matter
i like Erik and also hold $VVV but this tirade is getting ridiculous. equity holders have a contractual economic claim to the productive capacity of the business (and the IP) over time.
yes, obviously most rational token holders would trade their trust me bro proxy token-equity-shitcoin for actual equity in the opco at the expense of liquidity.
liq is thin anyway, irrelevant. I own the proxy token-equity-shitcoin bc (i) I fundamentally believe in the business, and (ii) the two instruments ( equity / shitcoin ) may converge over time.
both obviously matter, but if (ii) happens it’s incredibly asymmetric and I’d like to participate in that.
realizing the asymmetry is more a bet on incentives and trust than anything else, as the token likely won’t perform until there’s tighter convergence.
the X tirade is intellectually dishonest. the token is some combo of regulatory / legal arbitrage and a loose at that promise of convergence.
@neuromancer_t "Treat token holders like equity holders"
You okay locking up your tokens for an unknown number of years with no guarantee of anything and insufficient voting power to make any changes to our strategy?
lack of comms & opacity are a major issue. and the overarching problem is the products launched to date are mostly trust-based, yet @TheIndexFi is fundamentally not trustworthy due to the above. Ie no one is going to use the rwa perps app w/ meaningful scale for this obvious reason.
so my sense is focus on memetic products that require less trust (launch pads, etc.) or solve the trust problem.
“claim the fees” is no different than VCs cold DMing founders to get on their cap table, the only difference is that we just made everyone a VC.
We’re going to continue to democratize access to both capital and opportunity at scale.
You’re not wrong, just early.
Get ready for what’s coming next.

Santiago explains why ETH is overvalued
“ETH is a 380B asset. It will crank out 1B in fees. That’s a 380 times price-to-sales ratio. Amazon never traded at more than 28 times at the peak of the dotcom bubble”
