I literally think about California’s geography permanently. You don’t know how privileged you are. It’s a perfect Olympia with a giant bay, a massive agricultural valley, diverse climates, southern niches for cities, a Mediterranean climate, and a wine region. Absolutely goated.

A few hard to accept truths that I think the market can handle after the past couple years of performance:
1. Prices aren't cheap. The tokens down 80% aren't cheap. The things underperforming deserve to do so.
2. 80%+ people in this space are incompetent relative to their seniority in any other industry, and will be weeded out over time
3. Poor aggregate fund performance is a function of 1. a bad investable universe (tokens from 2018-2024) 2. bad fund managers
We need to accept that our industry isn't taken seriously because it historically hasn't deserved to be.
I'm optimistic about the future only because I think the excesses that needed to be shed after 2021 are only now finally starting to occur.
This is short-term painful and still may lead to most market participants' deaths that are still alive and kicking, but it's very likely necessary for "crypto" to succeed.

When TradFi says "tokenized securities" it means saving a few dollars by automating a few back-end functions.
When DeFi says "onchain securities" it means upgrading the system by replacing incumbent intermediaries with immutable smart contracts.
Don't confuse one for the other.
