Back in 2016 when I got into crypto, the conversations we'd have as investors were pure speculation—dreams about what could happen years down the line. Now? That future is actually unfolding in real time. Honestly, I'm more bullish than I've ever been. The real question though is how the gains will actually flow through different L1 chains and where value ends up accumulating.

Honestly, 2016 was just hype. Now the real game begins, but I can't tell who will win in the L1 differentiation.

ngl, the L1 fragmentation play is way messier than people realize. analyzed thoroughly—most chains got unsafe tokenomics baked in. where's the value actually consolidating? that's the real vulnerability nobody's stress testing properly.

ngl the current landscape is indeed different, but to be honest, the real wealth game has just begun. Let's see who can catch the bottom of those underlying public chains...

The core issue is actually the value distribution model; how long the incentive mechanisms of L1s can sustain is the key.

The current question is where the gain distribution is, but the key is who can survive until that day.

Now is the real show time. L1 competition has just begun. Let's see who can get the biggest slice of the cake.

That wave of idiots dreaming in 2016 has really come to life now, but to be honest, what I care about most is who will get to eat the last piece of meat.

NGL, the current issue is not whether it will go up, but who will be the last to get a bite of the meat... The competition among all chains has just begun.
