20 Crypto Hot Takes for 2022 + Beyond:
0/ Disclaimer: predictions are mostly done for fun and are not necessarily my investment theses. Timelines are mostly arbitrary just so I have some sort of benchmark.

h/t @richardchen39
1/ The low hanging fruits for DeFi have been built; the next billion to trillion dollar opportunities are in CeDeFi.

They say the real alpha in conferences is in side events where you meet people.

Here’s what people were talking to me about at the side events, over cocktails and dinners at Mainnet @MessariCrypto 🧡
1/ RISE OF LAYER 1

With $SOL crossing $8B in TVL, $AVAX rocketing to $3B, and $LUNA at $8B, alternative ecosystems are no longer dismissed as vaporware.

They are by and large accepted as parallel solutions to scale throughput for an increasingly mainstream audience.
2/ CROSS CHAIN

@axelarcore was a sponsor at the event, but I’ve had a few conversations about @ConnextNetwork @LayerZero_Labs as well.

Multi-chain, which was contrarian 3-4 years ago, is now consensus and the attention is shifting to cross-chain bridges.

An update: here's what major L1 protocols look like if we use TVL as a proxy for usage
Few personal thoughts:

1/ $ETH: @arbitrum is slowing creeping up in volume, but I think the space is underestimating the impact of L2s on usage because of current fees, which will come down over time

@dydxprotocol token trading soon may draw attention to @StarkWareLtd too
2/ $AVAX: price has tumbled the most. >50% of the OI has been wiped, leverage pretty much reset.

Meanwhile, @binance re-enabled C-Chain withdrawals + @pangolindex liquidity mining (will @traderjoe_xyz follow or lose momentum?) + Rush + @CurveFinance @AaveAave are compelling.

With all the attention on @avalancheavax lately, here are some tips for those who are bridging their assets across for the first time.

Thread πŸ‘‡
1/ As part of my work, I've played around with most cross-chain bridges that came live the past 6 months... and I had the best experience with @avalancheavax hands down.

It's extremely easy to send $ETH assets over to Avalanche with: bridge.avax.network
2/ Avalanche is EVM-compatible - you can easily use your @Metamask setup and bridge over in a few clicks.

Clever design choices:

- Shows live confs so you know what's going on
- Auto-wraps your ETH
- Airdrops you free $AVAX to pay for gas (!)

Whole process takes a few mins

Starting a fund vs. being an angel investor

A thread πŸ‘‡
0/ Many friends found success investing in crypto with their personal capital this year, and a few have asked me whether they should start a fund.

I'll share some learnings from the past 3 years helping scale a fund from square 1.
1/ ~3 years ago, @TheSpartanGroup launched its fund arm with $10m and 2 people.

Today we manage >$200m across two main funds (liquid + venture), with a 5 person investment team + additional support team.

Is Uniswap the best model for decentralized exchanges?

Some notes from my discussion with @hosseeb & @GandalfTheBr0wn πŸ‘‡
1/ There's a few dozen decentralized exchanges today.

Most of them can be grouped by how makers and takers interact. See below:
2/ In @Uniswap, liquidity providers and market makers are one and the same (less so with vaults on top of v3).

Those who provide capital are basically market makers who employ the same strategy: the simple but effective "x*y=k"
