"Amazon is a network and arguably one of the most successful networks ever built. Which is why comparisons are uncomfortable: when you line Ethereum up next to real scaled networks like Amazon or Facebook the valuation gap becomes impossible to ignore. Ethereum at a $380B valuation generates roughly $1B in annual revenue 380x sales. When Amazon carried a similar valuation it produced $136B in revenue and $2.4B in net income 2.6x sales. That means ETH holders today are paying 146x more per dollar of revenue than Amazon investors did. The claim that Amazon is a company Ethereum is a network"

"Most of you wouldnt make it past the first-round interview at a major investment bank let alone PE or a hedge fund. You punted some crypto in a bull market made a bag and now think youre a genius. You were mostly lucky Whats wrong with his argument Oh checks notes JPMorgan generated $178B in net revenue and $57B in net income on $2.5T of deposits. He probably thought he was making a stronger point by dismissing my MAUs benchmarking of tech companies crypto tries to emulate on network effects to justify absurd valuations. And when that doesnt stick they pivot to TradFi to see if those"

"Markets today are increasingly short-term and momentum-driven. Everything moves fast everyones online and you dont need a banker anymore when you can try to be Soros from your phone. Investors (institutions and retail) care more about growth than value Crypto is the purest version of that mindset. Whether its betting on the next Bitcoin or prediction markets outcomes a huge part of the demand is people YOLO-ing for the 10x. Biotech has some of this but crypto is more real-time more accessible more dopamine hits. Its simply a more fun casino. And the casino keeps you playing because theres"

"Reading the replies to my post only makes me more certain: were deep in the Complacency phase of the cycle. And yes - we can go much lower. I still havent seen a credible argument for why crypto networks - Ethereum Solana Ripple etc. - deserve their current valuations. These networks have utility. But utility value capture. Institutional adoption isnt a valuation model. It definitely doesnt justify tokens trading at 50x+ P/S. Meanwhile the strongest AI + infra companies - actual revenue actual unit economics - trade at 812x EV/revenue and their revenue doesnt evaporate in down cycles. Crypto"

"Crypto consistently ends up as the lender of last resort for RWAs. Why Demand: Prime borrowers stay in TradFi. Its cheaper deeper and frictionless. Supply: Crypto investors yawn at sub-10% yields So the only borrowers left are the bottom of the pile who can't raise in TradFi and are willing to pay up. Often these are companies in emerging markets where capital markets are inefficient. Weve looked at a few of these at Inversion. Protocols (Maple Goldfinch Centrifuge) have stepped up to bridge this gap - acting like some sort of syndicated leveraged finance desk. But the tradeoff is the same:"

"Crypto industry is struggling to define what a "moat" is for open-source systems. Its really hard It reminds me of when I was investing in open source back in the day. Most VCs didnt believe you could monetize it until IBM bought Red Hat for $34B. And for all the purists out there Red Hat was not strictly open source. They monetized a whole lot for reliability and support. My mental model is this: a moat you can't monetize doesn't matter. That is why I focus on fees captured by protocols. Everything else is theory"

People dont change their habits easily Crypto touches money and most people dont switch bank accounts the way they switch apps Changing consumer behavior is really really hard And speculation alone wont carry us to the promise"
