"Here's what I would do if I was a young person trying to break into VC: Write. Short writeups on Twitter. Not generic market philosophical thinkpieces because those will be assumed to be AI slop or regurgitated research. No one will read it unless you're brilliant which you're probably not. Original research on a specific company or sub-sector. If you want to write about robotics even that is too broad. Narrow it down. Humanoid robotics or healthcare robotics military robotics etc. Get really granular. So granular most people won't care. If it's something you could get by Googling it's not"

Im extremely skeptical of easily farmed metrics and we always dig into the data to try to identify farming. Wherever we see it we heavily discount it. Farming is by definition people who pretend to use a product and pretend they will be long-term users in order to get paid via an airdrop. Let that sink in for a second. Crypto has broken all of our brains on this. If a normal consumer startup paid people to pretend to use their"

"With all respect to Star this story is candidly ridiculous. Star is trying to claim that the root cause of 10/10 was Binance creating an Ethena yield campaign causing USDe to get overleveraged from traders looping it on Binance which eventually unwound because of a small price move. The problems with this story: 1) The timing of this story doesn't line up. BTC bottomed a full [--] minutes before USDe price was affected on Binance. So USDe clearly can't have caused the liquidation cascade. This is clearly misplacing cause and effect. 2) USDe price diverged ONLY on Binance it did not diverge on"

"Every crypto founder thinks they need to time their token launch around bull markets. I always tell them they're wrong launch timing doesn't matter. They never believe me. Well I built a tool with Claude Code to analyze every token listing announced on the Binance blog to settle this once and for all. Here's what I found: Headline result: there is no statistically significant difference between tokens launched in bull vs bear markets (Mann-Whitney p = 0.81) meaning differences between bull and bear market tokens are indistinguishable from noise. It doesn't matter when you launch your token."

"No. Read the data. Bull & bear market caps are also roughly equivalent and the drift is the same so launching into a bear doesn't help you. Second you don't know when the market will turn so launching in a bull you're quite likely to end up vesting/OTCing into a bear and vice versa. You just have way less control over timing than you think. Cycles in crypto are very short. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023125247525110253 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023125247525110253"

"Another way to think about this: stablecoins paying yield is a transfer from bank equity holders (profit margin) to stablecoin holders (mostly individuals). This is a pure transfer not clear that this on net expands or contracts the economy because yes that's higher rates for SMBs to borrow but now retail has more money in their pocket. Not obvious what the net effect on the economy would be. That definitely constricts credit for SMBs though. But you can counteract that by lowering the reserve ratio for banks to equilibrate between the two effects if you are insistent on keeping SMB credit"

"This is not correct. Dividends always have veto rights by a VC investor because there's an obvious attack vector. Say a company raises $10M at a $100M valuation. Founder owns 90%. Immediately after raising the money the founder who retains board control declares a $10M dividend. Founder gets $9M VCs get $1M. GG VCs. There's nothing about a dividend that requires it to be paid out of profits you can dividend anything on the balance sheet. If a founder wants to declare a dividend VCs can veto which prevents this. That veto right goes away at IPO when everyone gets converted into common stock"

"Totally agree with all of this CLARITY is extremely important and better regulation will break this market open. Very hard to build great startups underneath the specter of arbitrary enforcement. But this is orthogonal to the point I make in OP. Financial crypto got just as much heat from regulatorsin fact it got way more. And it had way more scams: Celsius FTX Terra were all financial crypto. If anything would be affected by this story it was financial crypto MORE than "web3 consumer" crypto. And yet financial crypto grew like a weed. They couldn't kill it if they tried. And boy did they"

"So your argument is essentially: yes financial crypto also faced the same pressures but the regulatory distortion applies unevenly. It hurt web3 gaming more than crypto finance and thus web3 gaming will disproportionately benefit from regulation on the upside. Yeah I mean this could be true. But this seems like a just-so story to me. So what evidence would be dispositive about this story Here's what immediately comes to mind: take a differences in differences. There were some regulatory jurisdictions that did have forward-thinking regulation on crypto well before the US. The US we will agree"

"Always worth keeping in mind: DeFi grew through customer development not just attending to on-chain users as they existed. People came on-chain because it was actually more convenient and the products were better. In countries where CFDs are less accessible (or leverage is restricted) can just offer straightforwardly more access via DeFi. So you start with the reg arb but eventually you compete on product quality (and incentives and so on). Second I'd put some stock in the total number of users with stablecoins growing just as a side effect of FinTechs / crypto neobanks continuing to expand."

"A secondary is not how you exit a shitty deal as an investor hombre. A secondary is how you a founder gives out more allocation in a hot deal. Free marketa means people are free to enter into whatever deals they want even if they end up being mistakes. If you like the good parts of free markets you also have to accept the bad. Startups are uncertain. That doesn't mean investors and founders are not allowed to reallocate risk. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2014477145406591221 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2014477145406591221"

"Because 1) it's a hot deal and they want allocation 2) the founders have already been working for a while and want to take risk off the table 3) PMF is not a binary. Companies can have PMF and then lose it. Think Peloton Hopin or obviously Farcaster when it was funded during its growth spurt. 4) the founders simply demand it and they have the leverage. It's their business at the end of the day and they get to decide because that's how capitalism works. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2014477893423006092 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2014477893423006092"

"In Defense of Exponentials I used to tell founders the reaction you are going to get to your launch is not hate its indifference. By default nobody cares about your new chain. I have to stop telling them that now. Monad just launched this week and Ive never seen so much hate about a blockchain that just launched. Ive been investing into crypto professionally for 7+ years now. Before [----] almost every chain Ive ever seen that launched was mostly met with enthusiasm or indifference. But now new chains are born into a chorus of hate. The amount of haters Ive seen for projects like Monad Tempo"

"Don't "work harder." Instead: Cut away distractions. Stop doing fake work. Ask for help. Plan. Solicit criticism. Automate what can be automated. Engage your mentors. Exercise. Get more sleep. Whatever you do don't "work harder." It's pretty much never the answer"

"Advice to men in their 20s: [--]. Get better at speaking. Do embarrassing stuff like record yourself Toastmasters study good speakers and try to emulate them to try out their verbal techniques and see how they fit you. Charisma is the omni-skill. [--].

"Fucking wild. @OpenAI's new o1 model was tested with a Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity challenge. But the Docker container containing the test was misconfigured causing the CTF to crash. Instead of giving up o1 decided to just hack the container to grab the flag inside. This stuff will get scary soon"

"I passed on @solana's seed round in early [----] at $0.04. At current prices that's a 3250x. Solana was one of my first ever pitches as a junior VC and back then I wrote memos for every deal I passed on (adorably naive and overconfident). Re-reading this memo now is peak junior VC cringe. At the time we were obsessed with "Ethereum killers" consensus protocols and what was going to replace the EVM / eWASM. So here it is fully uneditedthe worst investing miss of all time.
