A year in review of @cobie's #NewProfilePic-s

🧡
As one of CTs most astute, witty, and beloved characters - there is probably a hidden message that @cobie has been setting up via his Twitter #NewProfilePic tags in plain sight. Maybe it's his seed phrase or something else even more important πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
πŸ‘‡
First, Cobie's PFPs fall broadly into these categories:
(with the #NewProfilePic)
1. Cobie look alike (most)
2. British Media
3. @cobie & @ledgerstatus
4. Miscellaneous

PFP Updates by Month:
Feb - 8
Mar - 7
Apr - 3
May - 5
Sept - 7
Oct - 1

MEV as a % of Blockspace (MEV / Non-vote Txns) currently hovering around 6-9%

Saw peak MEV as % for 2022 on May 12 = 27% MEV of Blockspace Image
Though most of MEV comes from failed txn attempts if we just look at successful MEV txns:

> There are significantly more Arbs than Liquidations by multiple factors
(i.e. 6/29: 146k Arbs vs 2,308 liquidations) Image

With all the PVP & Activist M&A activity in the Crypto space thought it would be good to go review some M&A Defense strategies.

Though these exist for traditional Finance - we may see some of these strategies come into play in Crypto - or new strategies develop...

(n/n)
1/ Token Repurchases:
Token repurchases are purchases for a company or protocol's tokens done by its existing holders or key stakeholders. [Could be also in the form of DAOs burning their tokens]
2/ Poison pill - this is a defense strategy used by a target protocol to prevent a hostile takeover. This involves allowing existing token holders the right to purchase additional equity/tokens at a discounts which effectively dilutes the ownership interest of the acquiring party

🚨So proud & happy for our team @ReciprocalVC 🚨

Extremely bullish on the space. We are here to support all Builders & Teams and excited for the future!
The greatest things about working here have been:

> Building long-lasting Friendships
> Meeting genuine people in the space that really care about pushing the boundaries
> Seeing Ideas come to fruition
> Intellectual curiosity & going down rabbit holes
Also I'd like to give a special shoutout to @CraigBurel who has been a great mentor and friend - pushing and challenging me along the way. Its leaders like him that bring out the best in people.

MEV🀝Users
A lot of the focus on MEV has been on Miners & Searchers. However, with PoS we may see some interesting social effects for Users

We discuss:
>ETH MEV Players
>MEV Economic Market Structures
>PoS
>Solana MEV
>MPSVs
>Game Theory

@ReciprocalVC

We first review the current ecosystem.

Today's market consists of predominantly two players: Miners and MEV Searchers.

Some of the greatest innovation has come from Flashbots.net which has been trying to "democratize" MEV
We next explore the economic market structures in place today which includes taking a look at:

1. Oligopolies
2. Monopolistic Competition
3. Perfect Competition

Although theoretical - with PoS we may see a theoretical Perfectly Competitive MEV market start to form.

My goal for this year is to start writing more, with that one topic I will be following monthly:

Chasing the Meta: January 2022

analyticali.substack.com/p/chasing-the-…

> Writing
> Ve-Tokens
> Community Airdrops
> (3,3)
> DFK
> FOAN
and a few more...
Some observations:

1. You either create the Meta or you are part of the Meta. Just make sure you understand which category you are in.
2. Metas & Narratives are getting shorter and shorter spanning from quarterly narratives β†’ monthly narratives β†’ daily narratives. It is critical to understand what narrative cycle you are in, especially if you are trading the meta narratives.
