On the topic of debates, Pantera Research Partner Matt Stephenson, PhD took the stage at Solana Breakpoint to debate whether most #DePIN is overhyped and capital inefficient. He takes the side of the (optimistic) skeptic, arguing that DePINs should be assessed along the dimensions of monitoring and capital costs, which are the two main factors known to affect cooperative ownership in the economy more broadly. While he acknowledges that DePIN has potential, he is cautious about its structure and implementation and believes many projects fall short on these dimensions. We encourage you to read our summary of the debate in our latest blockchain letter: https://lnkd.in/eXDa-mmm
