This Sunday, I'm releasing a 45-minute conversation with @michaelh_0g - Co-Founder and CEO at @0G_labs, back on DROPS for the second time since his first appearance a year ago at the 0G token's TGE. Two weeks before that multi-billion dollar launch, he sat in a war room on Jeju Island and learned that half the ecosystem he'd promised the market wasn't going to be ready on time. He launched anyway. We talk about: - Why he chose to launch the 0G token right after two pieces of bad news hit at once - What happened to the DeFi ecosystem and the @stack0G treasury company that weren't ready - How a 3 billion dollar valuation held up in a pre-market test before exchanges agreed to list - Why the team burned out so badly after the TGE that some had to take medical leave - How he ran the company from paternity leave after the birth of his second daughter - Why the launch decision was 60 percent momentum and only 40 percent conviction - What the October crash did to a team that had quietly attached its ego to the token price - How ZeroStack pivoted to a multi-asset AI treasury strategy and started trading above NAV And much more... DROPS out Sunday!
