on a serious note: I don’t think many people realize how important this pump was for the crypto industry
-> i was in touch with a few well known crypto teams that were running out of runway because a big chunk of their treasuries was held in crypto (down 40-60%)
-> founders were pivoting to AI because the narrative was “crypto is dead” and VC interest had dried up
-> a lot of talented people left the industry bc crypto companies simply weren’t hiring & ofc layoffs
I know this pump might not have been that big or seemed like a huge deal, but it gives people hope again
but hey respect the fucking pump
