I’m honestly at a loss for words at the outpouring of heartfelt support in response to this post, both publicly and in private. I don’t how to explain how touched I am by all the well wishes and how much your kind words mean to me during this difficult time. Love y’all ❤️ I managed to get somewhat caught up across my various DMs and I plan on replying to all of my missed messages, starting with the earliest. Though it may seem like I’ve been absent the passed few months, I’ve actually managed to maintain a very active advisory presence with Truemarkets throughout. I’m in regular contact with the team and stay impressed by their work ethic. The team remains focused, quietly shipping new features/ improvements, with TYD being the most recent example and several more under development (the details of which require a separate post). I just want to take another moment to reiterate how grateful I am for all the support and consolation. It truly means the world to me. While I get through these times, I’ll continue to be in need of privacy, meaning I won’t be able to be as publicly present as I otherwise normally would be. Y’all can, however, expect me to begin progressively increasing my activity as my situation improves, starting with some long form posts as well as Truemarkets related content. I will also persist to contribute to the project and try my best to keep up to date with all incoming messages. Hopefully, before we all know it, I’ll be back to being my terminally online self and hyper active in the Eth ecosystem once again. Long live this wonderful, amazing community ✌️ Love you all ❤️

Hi frens As some of you are aware, I’ve been absent from day to day Truemarkets operations for a few weeks. A few months ago I encountered a serious personal issue that began to escalate rather quickly. What was supposed to be a brief leave turned into a prolonged absence. At the present time, I am still unable to return to our day to day operations, and thus, I felt it’s time to communicate this to the rest of the community. My confidence in the team is unwavering given my experience with them, as well as the fact that they’re the talented engineers who’ve built the app from scratch. The team is tremendously hard working and talented. There’s no doubt that the product will continue to improve and the project will continue to innovate while I’m on leave. In the meanwhile, I sincerely request privacy while I deal with these intimate matters. My respect for this community, my peers, and this industry cannot be overstated. I look forward to becoming active and building among yall once again soon. Until then, Yours truly, Millie.

This is actually not true. VCs may not want to buy ETH. But that's for different reasons. That's because they can't justify charging their LPs 2/20 just to buy and hold ETH while ETFs (and soon staking ETFs) exist. This is also why most VCs gravitate towards alt L1 ecos.

> be a llama > spend years working on ensuring all metrics on defillama follow the same methodology and can be trusted > vc today: "its all self reported metrics so cant be trusted" and so the process of morphing into chopped liver begins

I still believe ETH is money

What a fascinating pod. This stat is pretty remarkable: 66% of all tradFi firms surveyed are highly involved with DeFi or actively developing in the industry right now. Even more impressive is that the majority of these firms rank Prediction Markets as their highest interest area after tokenization, stablecoins, and DEXs!! That's pretty impressive company for PMs to be in given the market size and TAM of the other high priority DeFi sectors compared to where Prediction Markets are today 🤯

The most underrated thing about Ethereum is that it has the soundest economics of any chain. All Ethereum validators earn positive yield. Meaning that their operating costs, (bandwidth + node requirements) are less than the yield they generate on their staked ETH. This is unique to Eth. If you go down the list of L1s on CoinGecko, you will not see another chain in the same position. It’s incredibly underrated how important this is for the health of a chain. But it will come to light over time as the economic inefficiencies of other chains start to show.

True to the culture.
