Is crypto VC going extinct? "No, I think it's evolving." "If you rewind the clock back to 2021–2022, there were a lot more VCs who raised money on the idea that they were going to deploy into a crypto venture." "And the idea was that, well, anybody can do this. You just have to sling some money around and some tokens and everything goes up automatically." "We're in a very different world now. We're in a regime where there's not that many players that are really institutional quality, and that can really add value to a lot of these projects." "Most of the easy money in crypto is gone now."

.G | Ethena on the thinking behind Ethena Pay "Not everyone on earth is going to set up a MetaMask wallet or a Phantom wallet, load it up with stablecoins and come and interact with what is quite a scary experience like operating on chain." "Take the apps and experiences that people are used to and plug crypto into the background so that it's almost abstracted away... thinking about crypto as a more efficient backend for fintech rather than the product itself."

Variational's Lucas Schuermann says the reason to keep asking what the endgame is comes down to the effort it takes to be a founder: "I ask myself this question a lot. And the reason to ask it a lot is, I think, to really put in the effort that it takes to be a founder. And not just for me, but for the rest of our team of 25." "We have to have a vision and an endgame and a reason why we wake up every day and grind on this." "One is on the product side. It's democratizing access. I think that traders globally should be able to trade global markets, without red tape, without restrictions and taxes and fees and onboarding that are so ridiculously fragmenting." "But more broadly, I like building things that people use." "The idea of introducing new technology and seeing it become used, and at this point even seeing it be copied. It's really fulfilling." "For a lot of entrepreneurs, it's really that idea of building something and seeing it be used, and that you feel pride about." lucas.var Variational Kevin Follonier - MR SHIFT 🦁
