Proximity has a disproportionate effect on perception.
Was catching up with one of our SF based eco founders who is building a suite of AI products in the data labelling/adtech space with a bunch of inbound from large corps + startups.
Their tech works, is generating real results for companies, and the team has lots of runway, but he was worried that they aren't doing enough (especially because of how fast everything around them is moving in SF/AI).
Meanwhile there's infinite crypto companies folding or just absolutely coasting because the market doesn't like our coins anymore.
tl;dr is - y

If there’s anything I’ve learned about working with larger corps, it’s always 2x longer and 2x more unnecessary meetings than expected
But hopefully it adds up to some pretty unexpected collabs for the beras over the next quarter
Bera (works with) and builds businesses?

god we're so early

What da Beras doing?
we've been a little less terminally online as of late while focusing on a few initiatives internally;
- AI upskilling across the org. Lots of useful data to be gleaned, and low lift product / tooling efficiencies.
- Evaluating and coordinating logistics around better yield-bearing collateral on Bend
- Exploring facelifts to the core website and some of our subdApps to better adapt to the times
- Prototyping and testing internally built dApps
- Wrapping up acquisition #1 and getting ready to integrate the team + product
- Prepping to roll out the first "revenue positiv

My movers just asked me about Openclaw bro I KNOW some of yall are cooked

Next up, pre-emptive pulling liq on a memecoin to protect its holders

After almost 3 weeks on the road, the inevitable Denver Flu ™️ appears to have bodied me at the last minute
Gonna try to sleep for a day straight and then share some thoughts on Consensus, Denver, and learnings for Bera overall

If you're one of the survivors who made it to Denver, come hang with the Beras this evening.
No talks or presentations, just catching up with friends and yapping about what we're working on internally.

Seeing a lot of chains come to the same conclusion as we did last year

If the eco projects aren’t driving demand for your token, or something which generates protocol rev (eg stablecoin demand), or wide scale distro, they aren’t necessarily helpful
Build, buy, own the stack.

Apparently some flights into Denver are nuked rn due to strong winds or something
God has truly cursed this conference this year

HK -> Miami for a couple days for a conference -> Denver for the week
Hmu if you’re around or we’re overdue to catch up 🫡

I, for one, am going to continue being nice to my AI even if it wastes credits because I am
A) raised right
B) plying favour for an eventual future where my openclaw possesses my rice cooker and murders me

Observing insane amounts of curling in squat racks at HK gyms
Apologies to all of those who I may have framemogged

I was mid writing up my thoughts on unlocks when a group of Beras came and spiked my funding rate levels 😭Is Ignoring the Beras while munting and mogging Moids more useful then SMV chadfishing at HK Consensus?

In Korea for some meetings + a wedding prior to Consensus HK Gimme a shout if you’re around and want to link up here or at Consensus 🫡

L1 blockchains bear the expense of emissions, without any returnPoL is currently returning $0.7 for every $1 emitted - better than the status quo, but not great.Next up is capturing $1+ for every $1 emitted. PoCs are starting shortly. Excited to share more as it pans out.

sorry fellas not making it to the dApp launch tomorrow, our smart contracts are on stolen blockspace

just typed "nvidia coingecko" into my browser for a second after seeing the OpenAI headline think thats enough brain worms for today
