Messari got acquired by Blockworks and my role didn't make the cut, so Friday was my last day. Big congrats to @AvgJoesCrypto and @ImmutableJacob for making the move from Messari research, the bar you set is the one I measured myself against. Thank you for everything you taught me. I was only there ~10 months, but I grew more in that time than I had in years before it. I came from a different background and got dropped straight into producing institutional-grade research next to analysts who set an extremely high standard. I learned how to actually structure an argument, pressure-test a thesis, and write with the precision this work demands. I'm leaving a sharper researcher and writer than I arrived, and for that I'm grateful. Coming out of it, I'm more bullish than ever on where crypto research/IR is headed. With AI tooling and data availability increasing, the cost of producing good research keeps dropping. But distribution is still underdeveloped, and getting genuinely good analysis to the right people, in a form they'll actually engage with, is one of the hardest and most important parts of this whole space. Feels like we're still early in figuring it out, and there's a lot left to build. Not sure what comes next, but I know it will be great. I'm actively looking for the right next opportunity, DMs are open!

ts shit actually insane

People do realize this is just S4 Ep 4 of Black Mirror right?

$traindog looking good here

$traindog maps so funny man lol. I can’t sell this one because I’ve never seen this much natural community form ever, even back in 2021. noticing.

Pretty funny companies expect you to not use AI when applying for a job when they are filtering everything through AI on their end

They made a Santa Claus tracker for $traindog and u aren’t max bidding? ngmi.

$traindog refusing to die noticing

Study the amount of people still shilling $traindog even when it dips. Few.
