I missed whitepaper szn but I wrote a quick ~30-page primer to introduce institutions and new investors to blockchains, eth, web3, defi, and the competitive landscape. This is the ground-up investment case for anyone starting out. (link in next tweet)
The Investment Case for Ethereum, Web3, and Decentralized Finance
~30 pages but don't worry there are 25+ pictures and charts

I tried to make this as accessible as possible. A 101 piece with some 201 data. This is a starting point hopefully to get institutions and individuals down the rabbit hole if they aren't already. Hope my @bankless @RyanSAdams @TrustlessState guys enjoy!(Yes we discuss valuation)
Did my best to cite and distill all the awesome work of others: @jaintanay_ @twobitidiot @theblock_ @packyM @BitwiseInvest @TrustlessState @SquishChaos @defipulse @cdixon @Data_Always @Cooopahtroopa @tokenterminal @Gemini @matthew_sigel...and avoid the thoughts of @jack
I got the idea from @michaelbatnick and @awealthofcs when on a recent episode when they had a listener question on where to even get started if you are interested in learning more about crypto. Cliffnotes of the paper in the next few tweets.
Page 5-9. What is the blockchain? What is Bitcoin? What is Ethereum? What is POW vs POS?
page 9-12 Defi--> AMMs, borrowing and lending, much more. Takeaway: huge growth. Defi only 1% of global banking revs while cutting out lawyers/bankers and moving faster. Infra exploding

pages 13-17 Web3--> DAOS. NFTs. Metaverse. ENS
More explosive growth. Get ready for the year of the DAO. NFTs are just getting started. 300k active monthly users on OS, 3m+ on coinbases waitlist. Metaverse will be the theme of 2020s.

18-22 Competition--> Dive into $Sol $AVAX $ADA and quick view of key metrics of others. @ethereum cant get complacent. Other L1s have taken 30% market share in 2021 alone. Speed and fees will be an issue until we get to sharding. 2 platforms will likely win out
23-30 Valuation. Look from multiple angles: supply-based, fundamentals, market cap, comparables, Industry targets. $20k not unreasonable by end of 2022
30-32 how to invest/investing in context/risks
TLDR of a lot of research others have done, with some of my thoughts/synthesis distilled to a manageable length for new investors. NFA, of course.

Happy holidays and WGMI in 2022. Forward to anyone you think may be ready to go down the rabbit hole this year.
