for many crypto is at a spiritual bottom,
but the future is brighter than ever
we went from cypher punks -> early stage investors -> art collectors -> financial nihilist
every cycle had a meta, but the top financial vehicle has always been early investment in the “next L1”
as of 2026 the L1 era is dead,
but the app era is only beginning
what vercel did for webapps
print will do for crypto apps
launchpads accelerated nihilism
infrapads will accelerate innovation
