We're 5-10% away from your favorite Crypto KOL and/or FinTwit account calling this drawdown "a Black Swan".
Reminder: this is not a black swan

crypto vc that can't stop, won't stop posting "hot take, we need to build products that people want to use"
sir, we do not disagree
19 Nov 2025
Disclaimer, hot take below
It’s funny watching crypto projects follow the same pattern
> teams ship an early stage, unpolished product
> deploy it to a chain
> expect the chain to do mass distribution for them
> when it doesn’t blow up, they blame the chain
Imagine building an AI wrapper startup on OpenAI’s models and then getting mad at OpenAI because your product didn’t magically take off and they didn’t promote it enough
The truth is, 95% of crypto consumer products don’t have a “distribution” problem. They have a “your product isn’t good enough yet” problem
As an industry, we need to build products people actually want, delivered in a way users genuinely enjoy
Proud of builders who internalize this, iterate, and look for solutions instead of scapegoats
If you’re building on @base with that mindset, my DMs are open, always happy to chat

We’re on a mission to make DeFi a safer place
But that’s too big of a job to do by yourself...
That’s why we’re partnering with the universal staking protocol @symbioticfi
Together, we’re scaling onchain cover to meet the needs of any institutional investor or protocol ⏬
