Sat down at DAS to debate the Dudas @mdudas on all things VC.

- Are VCs cooked?
- Is there too much infra?
- Memecoins, good or bad?

Things got spicy, MMs walked out half-way in disgust, and the audience voted at the end who between us won...

This is a truly impressive conversation

The biggest Solana scandal since FTX

A founder steps down
$200M drained from crypto

Here’s the story of how Meteora and JUP got caught in the LIBRA scam🧵

(1/9)

@Megatron_ron Yes, Europe and Ukraine both losers… why? Cause they didn’t even try to negotiate and instead shut down all communication channels with Russia.

[michael breidenbrücker @byzo]

@PawlowskiMario Don't get it man... European politicians stopped talking to Putin years ago. They had years to work on this conflict but decided to invest in war. What stops Putin (from invading countries) is when super powers (not europe obviously) sit down and negotiate.

If this screenshot is real it pretty much describes the state of traditional media 😅

[Adam @Adam_Tehc]

The reality is... 98.4% of pumpfun tokens never make it to Raydium.

Out of the 1.6% that do, here's how they've performed:

From 43,846 graduating tokens…

• 35,579 (81.15%) never made it above 500k market cap.
• 5,963 (13.6%) made it to 500K - 2M market cap.
• 1,846 (4.21%) made it to 2M - 10M market cap.
• 369 (0.842%) made it to 10M - 50M market cap.
• 64 (0.146%) made it to 50M - 200M market cap.
• 23 (0.052%) made it to 200M - 1B market cap.
• 2 (0.005%) made it above 1B market cap.

America did not build New York. The Netherlands did.

America did not pay for New York. The Netherlands did.

America did not bring thousands of settlers to live in New York. The Netherlands did.

It is perfectly fair for the Netherlands to be raising questions about New York.

O! Endlich wird dieser Krieg selbst vom Standard nicht mehr lapidar als Angriffskrieg bezeichnet: "Seit elf Jahren herrscht in der Ukraine Krieg, vor knapp drei Jahren begann Russland zusätzlich seine Vollinvasion." https://t.co/GsTE4Ro3VM

[michael breidenbrücker @byzo]

@elonmusk o boy… why are you saying that?

Never thought i would tweet this: The only reason I’m not fleeing Europe right now as Russia strikes back after US weapons hit its territory is that you Americans elected Trump 🤷‍♂️

[michael breidenbrücker @byzo]

ok... the U.S. is sending land mines (?!?!) to Ukraine... what else is there left to say?

[Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo]

AI generated the current world affairs in a short clip … 🤣🤷‍♂️

[michael breidenbrücker @byzo]

love it! “infra circle jerk” 😂

[peth.eth @petheth]

Ethereum doesnt have a marketing problem, it has a user research & infra:dapps ratio problem.

We've scaled, we got these account & chain abstraction things - can we stop this infra circlejerk and build more things people actually need?

There are ZERO excuses left.

Great applications and seeing how real people use Ethereum and how institutions use Ethereum, is what will "market Ethereum".

...

Ethereum is the birthplace of dApps, DeFi, ReFi, DeSci, DAOs, RWAs etc.

We have the most robust & decentralized infra ecosystem.

Home to the most idealistic community w/ highest density of autistic geniuses.

Yet none of it will matter if we dont get our shit together.

...

In interviewing 40+ ppl at Devcon, the biggest criticism we heard from Argentina to Africa to EF designers, is the disconnect between builders & the real world problems.

Every Devcon is filled with more jargon. More innovation, only understood by a niche crowd.

More solutions looking for problems.

But very few willing to ask "how & to whom is this actually useful?"

Hate Solana profit maxis all you want, but they put effort in understanding their user base.

...

Please, please, PLEASE - whatever you're building, spend at least 20% of your time talking to users. Validate early & recurringly.

More importantly - identify problems first. Dont start building something just because you think its cool.

We need to remember why we're here - to build cool shit thats useful for real people.

...

Tbf there is a shitton actually happening, its just lost in a constant stream of noise.

We hope to highlight as many cool dapps & usecases in the "Built on Ethereum" documentary.

Know any? Tag them!

o no… just tell me this isn’t true! How is it possible to maneuver so close to war between Nato states and russia and Europe sits in silence?

[michael breidenbrücker @byzo]

"There is no room for individual thought left on the left." What a quote!!! ...and pretty much sums up the situation in Europe too! It is so sad that the only choice one has is either not vote or vote right in Europe! @peterthiel https://t.co/BV5UW1BzzN

[michael breidenbrücker @byzo]

not reposting often, especially not from people who have big reach, but yes… this is a version of the Ukrainian war we never hear about in the west. European politician please stop making war and start peace talks now!
