Solana was trading around $1.10 when @Austin_Federa joined. So how did a tiny network become one of Crypto’s biggest players?
@Austin_Federa , Co-founder at @doublezero sat down with @TimMeggs in The Local (Seoul edition) to unpack what put them on the map. As always, links below ↓
In London for DAS or Breakpoint next month? Come and let your hair down with us, as we put on an oasis tribute band and an evening of entertainment in an awesome old east-end WMC
So next month London has @blockworksDAS and Breakpoint by @SolanaEvents@SuperteamUK back to back. So we thought we'd squeeze a ridiculous party slap bang between them - https://t.co/LiP1f8hx05
Room for well over 200 of you, free booze all night, loads of giveaways and prizes, a late licence with DJs till 1am... oh yeah, and an Oasis tribute band playing live.
If that sounds relevant to your interests and you'd like to join us, register with the luma link above.
Last week we brought @TheLocalWMC to Seoul for @kbwofficial. 5000 miles from our London HQ, yet everyone got the score - no frills drunken good times with friends, dubious karaoke late into the evening. Thanks to all that came. Next up, the big one... Breakpoint @SolanaEvents
Next week, we're bringing our semi-debauched event series @TheLocalWMC to Seoul for one night only. If you're a Londoner, you already know the score... For those heading to KBW, link below.
5 days to go!

Our researcher @AdMcMarkets on @FINTECHTVglobal, discussing the impact he expects the return of the NFL and the upcoming midterms to have on prediction market volumes.
Prediction market volume fell 15 to 20% in August after a "bumper" World Cup run, but the NFL's back next Thursday.
@AdMcMarkets of @lo_tech tells @RemyBlaireNews that's setting up "a big test" heading into the midterms, pointing to Michigan's Senate primary, where traditional polls badly missed while prediction markets came much closer.
We're excited to welcome @MegWil08 to the LO:TECH team.

Jackson Hole could be a major test for Bitcoin.
With BTC back around $80k but billions in liquidations behind the move, what happens if the Fed's message isn't what the market wants to hear?

Prediction markets took double what US bookmakers did on the World Cup. Then "soccer" gave them a problem the NFL never does: a game that ends without a winner.
So who actually won the World Cup?
This week on The Local @AdMcMarkets on his world cup report. New episode live now
I've been a fan of @lo_tech, not just from a market maker perspective, but also their podcast in a pub format
It really doesn't get much more British than that
And so when I got the call up to feature and converse, all things AI + blockchain, I couldn't say no
Amazing podcast with the very sharp and experienced @TimMeggs. Very much enjoyed this one.
London’s already dealing the hands @solana needs.
Warming up for the @WSOP Solana Showdown to hit the UK.
Courtesy of @lo_tech & @LO_rence_crypto running invite only office games for crypto sharks (and their favourite fish), taking buy ins in SOL.
@superteamuk is also quietly shuffling something behind the scenes ♦️♠️♣️♥️
London is the level up.
