A place for Blockworks stans to discuss news, research, podcasts, and more.
the @polymarket post-election chart will be one to watch.
trump-harris has generated $1.4b in trade volume so far. polymarket's september monthly volume stands at $530m, with october's first week already exceeding $400m. curious to see if and how this activity carries over to other markets (politics, sports, business, etc).
with polymarket’s Q4 ’23 monthly average volume at $6.5m, even a 87% drop would still result in ≈10x yoy quarterly baseline growth 💪.

Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback on the UI/UX of our opinion pieces.
1) The "Op-Ed" section is now the "Opinion" section
2) There is now a red "Opinion" label
Small updates but should help as we publish more controversial pieces.

Two SEC lawyers just resigned after a judge sanctioned them for gross abuse of power in a crypto case.
The SEC's lawsuit was "marred by false statements and misrepresentations, as well as a lack of evidence."
Gary G hanging on by a thread these days.

‘defi summer was the first permissionless global financial market the world has ever seen’
Learned a lot about crypto data at DAS from Dune, Amberdata, Kaiko, Allium, CryptoCompare, and Sonarverse.
A fully transparent financial system is possible – polar opposite of the tradfi data walled garden.
Expect @blockworksres to expand deeper into data/analytics this year.

Blockworks events content just leveled up 💪
'the dotcom hype cycle was so big that people were laying fiber everywhere. all this fiber got laid that nobody used for a decade - a complete overinvestment at the time. that fiber however got turned on 10 years later, allowing youtube and facebook to exist.'
'crypto tends to go in waves of overreaction. first, btc and eth were supposed to swallow the world. this led to the multichain uprising with a million rollups. issues with ux, interop & fragmentation ignited a solana overcorrection where everything happened on one chain again.'
AI will be one of the big themes at Permissionless this year.
Will seem weird to folks now, will be obvious by Q4.

Have got a lot wrong over the years with Blockworks.
But one thing we got right:
When everyone else dumbed down content to appeal to a larger audience, we went deeper, betting that the crypto native audience would eventually grow.
Feel good about this decision today.
