i think Grass is an interesting example of where crypto can actually make sense as part of the product early users contributed resources to help bootstrap the network and received ownership for participating before there was meaningful revenue as the business matured, that model started shifting toward stablecoin payouts... show more

The one thing that every single project is missing is the fact that mining is the most effective way to keep participants on the network. You need to harness the power of other people resources to run the network, and reward them in network tokens. Hardest part is to figure out how to get those tokens back. I have a solution but it’s not some idiotic “let’s make merch” idea.

NFTs could create a deeper ownership layer for users who actually want exposure to a protocol’s revenue “I don't think it replaces buybacks.

The revenue meta is not a meta. It's a fundamental shift that crypto is growing up. I believe this will start to be the way more protocols are valued. Most blockchains today their revenue to price ratio makes no sense. Even for a highly speculative asset. Somnia is looking at ways we can partner with key components in the ecosystem to make the revenue story make sense.

What actually is Pi Network? Tens of millions of users. The utility is still to be established So what actually is Pi Network? Let me break it down. $PI is a crypto project built around a phone app. The idea was to make crypto simple for total beginners. No expensive hardware. No complicated setup. You just open the app once a day and tap a button to earn Pi. And to be clear, that’s not really mining like Bitcoin. Your phone isn’t solving anything. It’s more of a daily check-in that rewards you for taking part and vouching for other real people. Its biggest strength is size. $Pi’s got tens of millions of users, all verified as real humans through ID checks, which is rare in crypto. Most projects have the opposite problem. The network went live with its Open Mainnet back in early 2025. Now they’re building out the actual useful stuff. Developer tools. Payments. Smart contracts in testing. The user base is massive. The utility is still to be established

I think VVV is one of the sleeper plays in crypto" "They have like 4 million users right now.

It was a really strong leader this year. It went from $1 to $20" "Their numbers are fucking through the roof.

Many startups find early pull, but only a few break out. Why? They stop at product/market fit and never find business model fit. Business model fit isn’t just about how much you charge for your product, but HOW you charge for it, and how you align customer value with your pricing. There’s a lot of advice out there about seat-based vs. usage-based vs. outcome-based pricing, but all of that is just noise. The search for business model fit is as specific to your company as the search for product market fit. You need to align your acquisition strategy and monetization strategy with your customer and product. It’s all one interconnected system. Take Slack for example: many associate Slack’s early success with its fun, creative design and fresh approach to communication. That’s what drew people to the product. But a big part of what made Slack a breakout success was business model fit. Freemium wasn’t just an acquisition tactic, it was essential to driving the revenue flywheel, viral expansion, and adoption in the enterprise. Obvious in retrospect, but controversial and against the grain of what others were doing at the time. The best founders don’t just chase product/market fit, they design a business model to make their product unstoppable. If that’s you, we want to meet you speedrun - link in replies

SOL staking could evolve from passive yield into a claim on real network revenue Mert highlights a key part of the Solana staking thesis: stakers can benefit from economic activity happening directly on the network. “Not only are you getting protected from issuance, you’re getting additional real productive yield from actual on chain revenue.” “The validators capture those fees.” “That can only happen on a chain where it can support mass activity at scale.” High frequency traders and market makers pay transaction and MEV fees to get their activity processed. Validators capture that revenue, and some can pass it back to SOL stakers. The model becomes: More onchain activity → more fees → more validator revenue → more productive yield for stakers For Mert, scale is critical. A network needs enough transaction throughput for fees to accumulate into meaningful revenue without making each transaction prohibitively expensive. SOL staking can capture the economic value generated by the network itself. w/ mert, Solana

This has been one of my biggest bets of 2026 and we are starting to see the tide shift towards favoring Ownership tokens. I think Credible has just tipped the scale and proven that MetaDAO is the best option for revenue generating companies to go to market. This is quickly becoming extremely appetizing to liquid funds and traders, and equally as appetizing to projects looking to raise and bootstrap a massive amount of attention and initial distribution. Great companies are now choosing to ICO on chain rather than raise from venture. After a year of legwork, chewing glass, and proving out the model, it truly feels like we are in the early stages of an exponential curve in adoption.

IS PI THE BENCHMARK FOR CRYPTO OGS? Veteran market participants face scrutiny as Justin Wu (@Hackaprenuer) asserts that holding $PI is the definitive measure of success for long-term crypto investors. The claim suggests that any participant who has been active for over five years and lacks exposure to Pi Network (Pi Network) has fundamentally failed to navigate the evolving retail landscape. Is "OG" status now tied to capturing widespread mobile-mining adoption rather than early-stage $BTC or $ETH accumulation? What is your take?

I came away from $ASTS earnings more bullish because the business is moving to actually building the network with revenue roughly doubling sequentially to $32M, backlog reaching ~$1.3B, 13 satellites now in orbit and production already extending through BlueBird 46. With more than $3.7B of liquidity, financing the first phase looks much less risky while the bigger execution question is how quickly ~$610M of quarterly capex can turn satellites, launches, manufacturing and gateways into a functioning commercial network. That spending is what eventually unlocks the model because AST is effectively building a cellular network before turning it on and if service launches on schedule then management’s path toward ~$1B of revenue in the first full year starts to look much more realistic..
