Variational's Lucas Schuermann says the reason to keep asking what the endgame is comes down to the effort it takes to be a founder:
"I ask myself this question a lot. And the reason to ask it a lot is, I think, to really put in the effort that it takes to be a founder. And not just for me, but for the rest of our team of 25."
"We have to have a vision and an endgame and a reason why we wake up every day and grind on this."
"One is on the product side. It's democratizing access. I think that traders globally should be able to trade global markets, without red tape, without restrictions and taxes and fees and onboarding that are so ridiculously fragmenting."
"But more broadly, I like building things that people use."
"The idea of introducing new technology and seeing it become used, and at this point even seeing it be copied. It's really fulfilling."
"For a lot of entrepreneurs, it's really that idea of building something and seeing it be used, and that you feel pride about."

Ofc, curly dude definitely did some wild stuff back in the day, but market needs guys like him. Can't have CZ carrying whole industry on his back ahahaha....
Looks like that Zinc can be kind of small stress test for Arcium and if it gains traction and gets pumped, it could turn into a solid marketing move ahead of the TGE for token from Arcium.
