You gotta remember that most teams see you as exit liquidity to a point where they will look you straight in the eye and try to sell you a scam.I told this story before, there was one founder whose name I can't mention because I believe I signed an NDA.He offered me a "highly limited FCFS KOL round" for his platform's token at a valuation north of $100M USD. Pinged me multiple times.Maybe like two weeks before the TGE.Fortunately, I declined, and ultimately the token opened under $10M USD. Would've been an ...

There is a non-zero chance that ICOs end up similar to how KOL rounds ended up.We had some big Ws early on.This led to everyone (myself included) FOMOing into hyped vaporware rounds.I lost high five-figures in KOL rounds that were delayed by a year or more, rugged, or simply went to zero.I think we are still sufficiently early to ICOs, but the deals will get worse going into 2026 as participation is becoming consensus now.And I'm starting to see similar patterns to those that made me and friends burn money ...

Company Focus - The company held a post-Q2 earnings call small group/roundtable with approximately 20 participants in late July [1] - The discussion included topics such as AI Agents and ICOs [1] - The company is considering its strategy regarding ICOs [1]

I had the privilege of attending a post-Q2 earnings call small group/roundtable with about 20 other CT people and Brian back in late July and while most asked questions about Coinbase <> AI (or AI agents) I asked Brian what they were going to do about ICOs having seen the recent success of things like PlasmaHe said they were thinking about it a lot and exploring options because they wanted to be able to provide access to their customers but hadn’t decided yet what the best route was.Looks like he figured it ...
