Insane to see crypto bros on podcasts discussing how to onboard women onchain instead of just asking a woman....

Unsurprisingly the takes are mid at best
Reddit making $281m revenue (53% YoY increase) in Q2’24 but posting a net loss of $10m is the Web2 equivalent of $700m projects turning on fee switches that drive $2.5m/yr

Everything is overvalued

Later stage companies must navigate a different idea maze to earlier companies: how to sustain explosive growth and monetisation post PMF

Nice piece on how Duolingo tackled increasing DAU - both their decision framework & model as well as the mistakes trying to steal ideas from other successful companies
Stoked to continue backing Cartridge as they build the best ecosystem for building provable onchain games and autonomous worlds!

When we first met Tarrence in 2022, the Web3 gaming narrative focused largely on “Web2.5 games” and the Cartridge vision was a bold one of putting entire games onchain. The team have pioneered the technical innovation necessary for truly onchain games with their Dojo stack + built a vibrant & growing ecosystem of 20+ studios

Excited to watch them showcase what's possible when you unlock enough verifiable compute to power the demanding use case: gaming
