Richard: I think a lot of projects will launch their own roll up on the op stack because there is a better argument for having a token rather than kind of this pseudo equity governance fee token. Richard also wrote a fantastic post on the current vc landscape we'll include that in the show notes. We're not done slamming vc's of course go read up on that some more risk and disclaimers got to end with this as always crypto is risky you could lose what you put in but we are headed west this is the frontier it's not for everyone but we're glad you're with us on the bankless journey thanks a lot.
Today on the Pod, we're discussing Why VCs Suck. And who better to answer that question than VCs themselves?
We're joined by Nick Tomaino and Richard Chen of 1Confirmation to discuss the role of VCs in crypto, the outlook on the markets, and how retail should prepare for the next cycle.
