If they are following us, that's great. And we need to continue to lead or else they will stop following us.
Today, we're talking about the State of Crypto with Eddy Lazzarin, the CTO of a16z Crypto.
The 2023 a16z Crypto Report was published last week and discussed a number of topics, including developer activity, transaction volume, users, and so much more.
What are the best insights as we look forward to the rest of the year?
