cosmos has been pain but it’s our pain ⚛️
we build in the bear, bleed in the bull. vcs ghost us but we ghost death. the hub is home. appchains are art.
decentralization is a lifestyle, not a strategy. we’re not early — we’re eternal
This is a post to all the Cosmos builders.
First off, you are complete badasses for believing in the Cosmos vision. You have true grit to still be here.
Cosmos has been the most ambitious and challenging experiment in crypto. We are building the only credible Internet of Blockchains. We are actually decentralized. We have the widest-used blockchain stack in the industry, and building your own blockchain is extremely hard.
Given where the market is, and the reality of available liquidity, a lot of teams in Cosmos (like everywhere) are second guessing themselves. VCs are not deploying much, anywhere. There is a flight to quality, and to assets with fundamentals. A lot of teams are thinking of how to approach, and whether to bet on, the new era of Cosmos.
I want to personally say, we are changing everything about the ecosystem behind the scenes. In our new position, we are radically changing how we fund, support, and incubate teams. We are bringing in external investment, and supporting teams in-house. We are ravenous, and we are deeply committed. And we will fight for you, and with you, if you join us.
We cannot lift all boats. There are so many teams we will not be able to support, that probably deserve it. But we are committed to making the best teams in Cosmos shine and become massively successful.
Our strategy has been to focus on the success of the Cosmos Hub as the benchmark for the ecosystem. We want to build it into an incredible platform that onboards new users, provides magical services to app chains, and become the best place for new products to grow up. This will give users and investors a clear entry point, and give us the ability to grow more chains in the ecosystem. Everything we do, we do to grow the Internet of Blockchains.
If you are in Cosmos, this is the time to take off the gloves. This is the time to fight for your product & community, and to make a fuck ton of noise. This is the time to get down to fundamentals, accelerate what's working, and cut everything - and anyone - else. A simple product that does one thing 100% well is infinitely more valuable than doing 10 things at 80%. Focus on simplifying your onboarding experience, your branding, your best feature.
And if you are a founder, be a goddamn founder - do not blame your ecosystem. Missing liquidity? Go market and take it from Ethereum. Missing users? Take a flight, close Twitter, and market your product door-to-door. There is an entire world to be onboarded to the decentralized internet, and we need to work with real people to build something they want to use. No one is stopping you from growing - try different things, be bold. Crypto is called the Wild West for a reason.
If you want new energy, this is the time to leverage ATOM and its community - one of the largest and oldest communities in crypto - to supercharge your application and adoption. Speaking for the ATOM community, we are incredibly excited to use and try new things.
We will be your ally, and you will not have to build this alone. Cosmos has been fragmented for a long time, but as we come together - and if we rally around the Hub - we are unstoppable. Liquidity, users, and attention is attracted to unity, and this is our chance to stop infighting, bite our lip, and align. We've already learned the lessons that Ethereum, Solana, and everyone else are just learning now with their fracturing ecosystems. If we can do this, we can level up and execute a turnaround people will remember for decades.
In the coming months, we will launch the first-ever permissionless VM and ecosystem on the Cosmos Hub. We will bring liquidity, and incentives. It will be deeply integrated with ATOM. We will incubate and launch incredible new applications that use Eureka to natively distribute to users and capital on every ecosystem. And we will support any application built on the Hub to then become their own L1 application. It's time to build a new Cosmos.
We will use the Hub to unleash the builders, and we would love you to be one.

@coinbureau The ‘analyst’ you got this from (who is actually a ‘Research Manager’) clearly doesn’t understand the value proposition of credible neutrality, or how to measure blockchain performance
Ethereum fundamnetals have never been stronger
We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply.
I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.
In 10 years, every real business in the world will have their own blockchain.
And every blockchain will interoperate seamlessly.
We call this Cosmos, the Internet of Blockchains.
And ATOM is its currency.
For everyone still wondering where we are with the crypto industry right now, let me clear it up:
Crypto today sits at around $4T market cap, which is less than 1% of global financial assets.
Even if it takes 10–20 years, our job as an industry is nowhere near done until we’re closer to $50–100T+.
Here’s why:
1) Bitcoin as Digital Gold
Gold’s total market value is roughly $23T.
Bitcoin, at around $2.3T, still has 10x upside just to match gold’s current size.
But it's getting much better than that.
2) Ethereum and Solana as world computers and global settlement layers
Global equities are worth over $125T.
Global bonds are worth over $145T.
The FX market alone trades $7.5T every single day.
If even just a few % of this gets tokenized, it would mean tens of trillions flowing on-chain.
3) Our beloved stablecoins aka Internet Dollars
Global money supply is at $100T.
Stablecoins today are only about $290B.
That's 0.29% of where it should be.
With cross-border payments, global settlement, and on-chain money markets, a multi-trillion-dollar stablecoin economy is inevitable.
4) New Internet-Native Economies
DeFi protocols replacing banks and exchanges.
NFTs evolving into global brands.
The Machine Economy and AI agents making on-chain payments.
Many more use cases we probably can't even imagine yet.
These categories don’t even exist in TradFi. And especially cases like the machine economy could one day exceed legacy markets and grow the global economy by orders of magnitude.
Combine all this with the current regulatory tailwinds, and the conclusion is obvious:
The risk-reward ratio for crypto has never been more attractive.
You’re late enough to have confirmation of the industry, but still early enough to capture parabolic growth.
Crypto is the opportunity of your lifetime. All you need is conviction, long-term vision, and patience.
Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is either trying to fool you - or fooling themselves.
Hey @PostOffice and @fujitsu_uk, pay the man every damn last penny, in fact, why not counter offer with a larger figure?
Thank you and as you were...
