great analysis by @dunleavy89 early 2020 vintage has been tough not just for crypto VC but overall VC era of cheap money ended when the Fed hiked rates so we went on expert mode much more dispersion and concentration of returns but also the investable universe of crypto - at least the value capture of protocols / onchain economy - is much lower than consensus back then and even today not a dig at the tech, just that we have failed to onboard net new users to support a larger onchain economy doesn't mean there won't be massive winners or that we won't be able to onboard users robinhood chain is a good data point that users will utilize this tech, but also that value capture will happen higher up in the stack hype is interesting as it is intergated chain, but fee capture seems to be stuck in the $1 to 1.5B range even after HIP-3 (which is very exciting!) but again, we have not brought on more users onchain - it always goes back to that a16z estimated about 1 year ago there were <100M active users onchain and I think that number has not grown since if you want to be generous you count robinhood users as onchain users but we know where that value capture is happening so, ok, the tech works, enterprises as adopting it but the value accrual just is not happening where you invested/expressed this view of crypto adoption growing i'd rather be long legacy companies adopting crypto than crypto-native ones (with the exception of exchanges and Tether and Circle) winners mostly have been those that export digital dollars to the ROW and access to US capital markets (hyperliquid)
