Pretty cool to see a project that originally raised $130M (and never launched) ended up being launched by anon devs with 0 funding with a few months of dev work

Goes to show how excessive some of these fundraises in crypto actually were
That being said, I think it's well accepted that the Basis model doesn't actually work in a real world setting

Cool experiment and I think algorithmic stablecoins will be a pretty hot category this year, but imo there are better ones out there
Also, these capped farm launches are pretty dumb. The intent is to improve distribution, but funds that have inhouse developer resources just end up eating all the cake

So this again the rich just get more of the coins
New projects really need to stop using the "stablecoin park + pool 2" distribution method. Like it worked awfully the last 50 times, it's still going to be a shit show when you do it.

If you're a new project and need help with token distribution feel free to DM

1/ Empty Set Dollar ($ESD) [@emptysetsquad]

The first such asset to simultaneously serve as a Store of Value (SOV), stablecoin and a speculative asset

An incredibly asymmetric and reflexive opportunity
2/ Stablecoins were the first crypto products that achieved product-market fit at scale after Bitcoin

Stablecoin growth is currently parabolic (USDT alone approaching $20B) and will be the first crypto sector to achieve mass adoption
3/ So we're all bullish on stablecoins, but traditionally it's been very difficult to gain exposure to their growth

- Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) are private companies whose shares trade extremely thinly OTC
- $MKR is a poor proxy of DAI growth (DAI up, MKR sideways)

Most current token distribution models are deeply broken

Simply rewarding "Proof of Capital" doesn't distribute tokens to the right people and hurts token holders

Just because it worked out OK for @iearnfinance doesn't mean it will work for others
You want tokens distributed to long term network participants and active community members

One approach that gets at this that I like a lot is by combining "Proof of Education" and gamification
@Covalent_HQ does this with their dungeons and dragons data competition
