NEWS 🗞️ : We’re transitioning OSS Capital from an ERA into an RIA in service of fully maximizing our contributions to open source and decentralized AI. 🤝🌏 The three fundamental platforms driving this change where we’ve committed > $40 million in capital over the last 3 years are: 1) Parallel Studios — creators of Wayfinder (the “ChatGPT” moment for crypto) and the TCG NFTs + IP franchise (StarWars meets Pokémon meets Marvel) // $PRIME + $PROMPT 2) Bittensor — Opentensor Foundation is not a startup, nor is it a company, but the worlds first truly fair launch L1 blockchain in > 15 years second only to Bitcoin to achieve critical mass success without an ICO, pre-mine or raising a penny from VCs. Decentralized AI = $TAO 3) ResearchHub — Accelerating open science, co-founded and led by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong - $RSC These are the only three crypto investments I’ve ever made as sole GP of OSS Capital since our inception in 2018… No, we are not diversifying into crypto. We are not making new crypto token investments. We are dedicated to the success of these three investments exclusively. Full stop. Within Bittensor specifically, there will be a marketplace of teams and opportunities to further express our conviction by staking to and allocating our $TAO across subnetwork tokens within the Bittensor network — but we will not be trading out of the Bittensor protocol. Our timeframes for holding our $TAO and associated allocations to subnets are > 10 years, within such time we aim to create facilities for generating significant DPI distributions (one to two orders of magnitude of our fund sizes) to our LPs without ever needing to sell / convert our $TAO back to fiat. More soon, but quite happy to take any questions!

You are investing in some Coins? Want to know something more about coins in 2024? Attracting new people and inspire investment, bookmakers must create pervasive narratives, thereby stimulating strong cash flow into the market. In 2024, the question is: Which narratives will be the moral levers? 1. GameFi Since 2021, GameFi has always attracted a large amount of investment capital, thanks to models such as Play-to-ear and Free-to-earn, making it easy for new players with little capital to participate. At the end of 2023, Bigtime (BIGTIME) when listed on Coinbase increased x20 times, this is the first sign of the wave New GameFi. In 2024, Binance continuously listed GameFi projects on Binance Launchpool such as Xai (XAI), Pixels (PIXEL), and most recently PORTAL, a sign of Binance's favor for the Garnefi field. 2. Restaking In 2024, attention turns to Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT). It's easy to see many users starting to use ETH or LST to •restake" in different protocols to increase profits. To date, top staking projects according to TVL such as EigenLayer, Etherfi, Puffer Finance, Kelp DAQ, and Renzo continue to attract tens of millions of USD in LRT value created daily. 3. AI The story of Al is not outdated with constantly new information and applications appearing such as ChatGPT and SORA, making the Crypto market very familiar with Al tokens. However, I find the practical application is still lackluster, and am waiting for a global-scale project to exploit the potential growth of the Al system. Potential AI children: Worldcoin (WLD), Fetch.ai (PET), The Graph (GRT), Render (RNDR), SingularityNET (AGIX) DePin. DePin, short for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, covers many different areas to create a decentralized infrastructure network. DePin is an important part of the mayor's appeal Interest and cooperation from projects in the field of decentralized storage to Al, sensors... From a new field, DePin has gradually become a more popular and frequent topic of discussion in the community Crypto.

How do we need to regulate AI? "Our view is that of course, you need to regulate AI, but the right way to do it is not at the infrastructure layer, it's at the application layer. The two most important policy issues for keeping the internet open are open-source software, and then blockchains, which I think of as open services — the way to keep the core services of the internet open for developers and creators. Those are important issues, I believe, both for society but also for venture capital, because we're in the business of investing in startups, and if it's not a level playing field, it won't be a good business."

This roadmap outlines a comprehensive approach to establishing a robust and impactful blockchain governance system. The focus on onboarding companies and associations, transitioning to the Ethereum mainnet, and implementing enhanced voting and analytics demonstrates a commitment to building a strong foundation for the UWBO DAO. The planned community engagement initiatives, including podcasts and events, are crucial for fostering transparency and building consensus among stakeholders. However, it's important to consider the following: * **Security and Scalability:** As the UWBO DAO grows, ensuring the security and scalability of the platform will be essential. This includes addressing potential vulnerabilities and implementing efficient governance mechanisms to handle a larger number of participants. * **Real-world Applications:** While the roadmap focuses on technical aspects, it's crucial to highlight how the UWBO DAO will contribute to real-world blockchain applications. Demonstrating tangible benefits and use cases will attract wider participation and adoption. United World Blockchain Organization

🚀 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 🚀 tl;dr - The crypto space has made huge strides in building its infrastructure, and now it’s time to shift gears and focus on real growth and adoption. I’ve been seeing parallels to the early days of web2, where a similar evolution took place, and I think we’re at a similar crossroads in crypto. That’s why I’m starting the Onchain Growth Club - to bring people together and tackle these challenges head-on.⁣⁣⁣ Follow OGC on Twitter: https://lnkd.in/eYnc3xna --- Over the past decade, the crypto space has focused intensely on building the infrastructure layer. We’ve seen incredible advancements on this front, and it feels like the technology is finally ready to scale across a broader range of use cases and users. But to truly unlock this potential, we need a shift in focus and I increasingly hear voices that agree with that - crypto projects and web3 ecosystems must develop more robust strategies to drive growth and adoption. In my opinion, this is especially true for consumers and businesses/institutions, but attracting more developers building in the space also remains a focus. This is a broad, long-term challenge, and with Onchain Growth Club (OGC), I hope to contribute, even if just a little, to this mission. Having been around during the early days of web2, I remember when social media was just taking off, and we didn’t yet have the distribution power of smartphones. Spending almost all my time in web3 and crypto now, I’m often reminded of those early days. We’re in a similar phase - probably even earlier - and it’s both exciting and daunting to see the potential for growth. Back then, digital marketing evolved into the multi-billion dollar, highly optimized industry that it is today. For crypto and blockchain technology to reach a similar scale, we need to see the same level of professionalism—whether it’s in individual expertise, funding, tools, processes, or strategy. Eventually, I believe this will merge with the existing structures from web2, but these new technologies introduce a complete new set of challenges and possibilities that will need to be explored in the years to come. With that in mind, I’m excited to start this meetup series and network to help elevate the conversation around crypto growth. If you’re interested in contributing or learning more, I’d love to connect. Please DM me if you these topics speak to you. There’s no detailed roadmap or objective for OGC just yet, but this initiative has grown out of my observations of the crypto growth and marketing space over the past six months or so. As we move forward, I’m trusting the process and eager to see where it leads.

As I mentioned before, about a year and a half back, I left the world of Esports and dove into a whole new scene. Interested in crypto, web3, DeFi, and feeling lost on where to start? Well, it's best to go back to basics, even if it feels mundane and tough. We're all experts in some realm, but stepping into something new can be daunting. It's like hitting the reset button, which can be scary, but it's not all doom and gloom. When I made the switch, I went right back to square one. Maybe my tips and tales might help someone out on the start: 1. Check out "How To DeFi" – it's hailed as the go-to DeFi Manual. Pair it up with "What is DEFI? Decentralized Finance Explained" for a deeper dive. I prefer to read up and watch videos for better grasp (https://lnkd.in/dTCR2QMY); 2. Proof of Stake. The Making of Ethereum and the Philosophy of Blockchains" by Vitalik Buterin - a must-read to understand the lay of the land (https://lnkd.in/d_SccfM3); 3. Curious about staking? Dive into this link: https://lnkd.in/dPRPmKdg , and my team's got your back. Also, our website's packed with insightful articles on staking and how to ace Restaking API via EigenLayer - all without a fee. 4. Ever wondered how smart contracts work? Hit up this YouTube video - https://lnkd.in/diQAPEeF for a breakdown; 5. Who's the DAO? I found the Decentralized Autonomous Organization Toolkit pretty neat. It lays down the basics and offers evaluation frameworks, tools, and recommendations (https://lnkd.in/dSvJSXpZ); 6. For legal eagles, it's not just about the legal nitty-gritty of crypto. It's also about rubbing shoulders with devs and product teams in your company or scouting blockchain sites to understand network structures. The technical stuff was the toughest nut to crack for me at the start, 'cause you can't physically tinker with what you're working on. So, I had to (and still do) sketch out mind maps of networks or processes for a better grasp. Plus, read everything, Google stuff, chat up the tech team, mingle with product teams, hop on every call you can (if there are any), and soak in as much info inside and outside the company as you can at the get-go. Your brain will start sorting out what's crucial and what's not, connecting the dots as you go. Is this information useful? Let's discuss! Please share your thoughts and highlights, recommendations are very welcome! #personalefficiency #efficiency #startingnew #crypto

The Growth Of $EGO And The Paysenger Platform. Taking a cue from my experience in the world of Cryptocurrency, a significant amount of projects have made consistent effort towards infusing content creators, fans and brands into Web3 seamlessly. Having researched deeeoly into into this particular narrative, i came across Paysenger platform. Thus, the project is a collaboration hub for content creators, fans and brands bringing together the best suite of tools for content monetisation and audience engagement. To achieve its goals appropriately, It leverages on state-of-art technology in addition to proprietary AI to drive home its blueprints and proposed roadmap. Considering what the project intends to bring forth, it is made up of a stacked team of experienced and veteran developers supported by major blockchain networks like Polygon. The ecosystem token $EGO has witnessed a notable price surge of about 43% and trading at an undervalued 0.121. Expressing its immense social sentiment, the project has peaked a trading volume of $6M+ as at the time of writing, this seems to be propelled by the Bitget listing. With the growing Paysenger platform and $EGO being the utility token that facilitates transactions, rewards engagement, and unlocks exclusive access within the platform, I feel the project will grow commensurately alongside the platform. Exploring more ways to scoop up this project should be an ideal thing on everyone’s part. Interestingly, bitget have developed a trade to earn event with a prize pool of 200,000 $EGO. Buying on spot seems to present a two-fold benefit viz; scooping up decent percentages as well as earning passively.
