Privately a number of my friends have expressed that they think Loud is the local top for InfoFi.

I don’t agree with them, but I really respect their thoughts because they’re often right on things.

The entire experience has me thinking back to AICC. Pretty similar timeline between first mention and launch, pretty similar in that it was presale gated (but Loud was much more egalitarian), pretty similar utility, and I publicly had similar mental valuations for both (~20-30m range expected).

Difference being Loud basically hit those expectations, but AICC opened at $300m. 

My question is who tf pumped so much money into AICC? Like that isn’t retail level. Very curious phenomenon that I haven’t really seen anyone talk about
