just out of curiosity… if you got paid $300-$2,500/m equity to beta test new @solana products coming through @fairdotclub & create honest content around the experience… would you do it?

Early stage crypto investing is dead. Pre-Seed and Seed rounds used to fund this entire industry. Today the money is all late-stage and M&A. Everyone midcurving this chart sees the end of crypto VC, but what it actually shows: 1) Early stage crypto is the least competitive it's been since 2019 = much less bidding wars, FOMO rounds or inflated terms 2) The ratio of quality founders to capital chasing them has never been this attractive, hence they're raising at floor valuations 3) Thanks to AI, a 5 person team now ships what used to take 50. Seed dollars have never gone further 4) Capital stopped being the differentiator. What founders actually need is hands-on partners, and barely anyone is left providing that (= Moonrock) While the rest of the industry is mourning early stage, I see a shopping paradise ahead of us. We're doubling down. 

At @fairdotclub we have had multiple discussions about the benefit of our internal reputation systems for KOL and creator-focused accounts. The benefit of this system is not just stronger capital networks but also the ability to surface honest, reputable, and hard-working creators who can be a genuine net positive for early-stage projects. Many creators do not get visibility into teams at this stage unless access is controlled by agencies or closed networks. FAIR.CLUB is designed to make that access pathway more structured, merit-based, and reputation-aware. Merit is becoming a more important layer in how early-stage ecosystems are formed. The long-term winners will be the platforms that can identify aligned participants, reduce noise, and help founders build around trust rather than pure distribution. gFair

BIG! Huge thankyou to @SuperteamAU and @colosseum for making this happen. It’s time to build Australia 🤝

if it's not obvious to everyone yet @fairdotclub is Echo on @Solana

Introducing: Prediction Market Atlas What most people see in prediction markets is only the surface. The categories now shipping include futarchy, distribution markets, multiverse markets, opinion markets, attention markets, decision markets, and info-finance. Each has its own pricing logic, regulatory lane, and audience. PM Atlas maps that landscape across 108 platforms, 12 mechanisms, and 90 concepts, from industry structure down to the actual products being built. A way to track who is building what, how these markets differ, and where the next primitives are emerging. pmatlas.xyz

Taking Thomas Sowell’s philosophy on good decision making (skin in the game connected to outcome) and making it the foundation of Robin Hanson’s Futarchy (market-based governance) is the single most important development in coordination People might not call it Sowellian, but all versions of Futarchy will adopt this framework You cannot have skin in the game if you don’t evaluate the outcome!

The Dapital waiting room is now open on FAIR. @trydapital is building a financialized social network: a consumer finance app where investment discovery, execution, attribution, and reputation live in one loop. Early access is live 👇🏼

If you think commingling assets behind closed doors is the future of privacy, you're wrong. It's the future of jail.

crypto's essence is scaling capitalism across both space and time unstoppable free markets and private money across all corners of the planet regardless of who's the governing politician at a given time the cypherpunks started this, the cyphercapitalists will scale it
