The Evolving Investor in the Decentralized World
summary
Claims crypto is in its third market cycle driven by institutional BTC buys and usable DeFi like Compound and Aave, not just white papers; tooling such as Nansen and Token Terminal exposes on‑chain flows and retail access; harsh critique that fair launch is terrible because funds scoop tokens, teams retain few resources and projects lack sustainable treasuries; observed numbers include "90% of 2017 tokens were equity disguised" and portfolios dominated by ETH/BTC, so alignment and treasury design matter more than mere access.
