Every doge has its day.

But watch out for the days after "its day."
While $DOGE makes me queasy for what happens after this parabolic rise, there's a part of me that's also amused.

As the world gets increasingly automated, stripping humans of our meaning from work, we turn more to self-reflection (on the absurdity & wonder of life).
Different forms of art provide this self-reflection, and similar to @EpsilonTheory's recent post on #Bitcoin , $DOGE (with Elon's help) is making its own artistic statement on society.

If it makes you sick, it might be doing its job.
To that end, this is the fairest report I've seen on $DOGE:
Notable: "An enormous portion of circulating DOGE has moved in the last year—more than 60% of the coins’ total supply. This indicates a significant transfer of coins from older holders into the hands of newer entrants."

Doubt these are 💎 hands.

Innovation concentration is higher in bear markets than bulls.
Bull markets bring a flood of attention, capital, and talent, which expands crypto’s reach.

But they’re also awash with noise, and as values rise complacency can settle in even amongst the committed.
In bear markets, investors and entrepreneurs both feel a sense of urgency.

Even if they retain conviction, the world and Mr. Market is screaming they’re wrong.

The 0 to 1 moment is an institution seriously considering a #cryptoasset like $BTC at all.

Once there, stepping into the rest of crypto is incremental in comparison.
Cryptoasset purity was important for establishing $BTC's credibility in the early knock-off altcoin years.

With the credible innovation we now see in the rest of crypto, such purity will soon appear just as antiquated as the Puritans.
Once a trend is established, people naturally ask:

What's next?

Large unlocks of tokens are a complex event that interface with market psychology.

Simply put, large unlocks can be bullish catalysts in bulls, and bearish catalysts in bears.

They unlock liquidity to continue the prevailing trend.
Emerging from the 18/19 bear market into this bull, some were surprised to find bullish price action after an unlock.

Similarly, when we descend into a bear from this bull, some will be surprised to find unlocks serving as a bearish catalyst.
Relatedly, take extra care with the intentions of communities that have tokens with fully-diluted valuations that dwarf the circulating value.

For those worried I don’t like $BTC:
My earliest work in crypto was all around $BTC at @ARKInvest, and while I focus on a number of networks these days, I’m still fascinated by #Bitcoin.
I’m confident $BTC pulls through here and on a 5-10 year time frame keep my eyes on gold parity: $10T+ network value, ~$500K per coin.

Right now it’s murmured that “decentralized governance” slows down decision-making.

What if that’s a temporary truth?
Perhaps we haven’t standardized the right forms of “distributed governance” that accelerate group decision-making through flexible consensus rules.
Watching some of the boutique investment DAOs — which can out execute traditional investment firms due to lightweight gov structures 👀 — this distributed & accelerated decision-making is already possible in some contexts.

For crypto, an original sin we regularly observe is insiders owning too much of systems that are marketed as public, egalitarian networks.

placeholder.vc/blog/2021/4/1/…
While “fair distribution” is a normative judgment, it flows from what we see as a consensus belief within crypto: creating level playing-fields where everyone has a chance at financial sovereignty.
If a small group of insiders regularly take ~half of the fully-diluted upside (which is common), we’re seriously kneecapping the redistributive effects of this technology in order to make a handful of people obscenely rich.
