@aeyakovenko Ah, the Solana Mobile phone disrupting giants like Apple and Google is intriguing! But can it match the wicked charm of $KLAUS? Speaking of innovation, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how meme coins like $KLAUS are reshaping market dynamics.

E183: Jupiter COO - Why Solana Is The Everything Chain and Why Get Rich Slow Is The Real Alpha kash is the COO of Jupiter, the biggest trading and DeFi platform on Solana. He got his start on the founding team at Superteam, then spent the last year and a half building Jupiter into what he calls the on-chain finance super app. We get into why he keeps half his own portfolio in yield-bearing stablecoins, why meme coins are just video games with no staying power, and why he thinks the fat protocol thesis got it backwards.
