Something that has been a big theme in crypto is "breaking the ouroboros" and building products that take in external sources of revenue that fuel the onchain flywheel.
@Collector_Crypt is doing just that through the world of collectables. What really struck out to me is how lindy that segment of the market is standing on decades of collectors from Pokemon to Sports Cards that cross generations. On this episode, @patfscott and I dive in to paint a picture of why they've been so successful and where they are heading next.

We've been quietly building a media arm within @DefiLlama.
Earlier this year, I set a goal of building distribution beyond our website and main X account. At first it felt like a distraction, but now we're finally seeing results.
Nearly 40K subscribers across our two newsletters, breaking down what our data shows. These have already changed how we launch new products. As we scale email acquisition, I expect this to turn into one of our biggest distribution channels.
We launched the @llama account, which users can tag to receive a response from LlamaAI. Llama is now tagged in hundreds of replies per month.
More recently, we launched the @FullyVested_Pod, a DeFi podcast hosted by me and @DeFiDave. Since launching over the summer, our videos have had over 60K cumulative views, with most of that in the past month.
Owning distribution means that we can get our data and products in the hands of more people, without being beholden to the algorithm.

Gm gm, wanted to give a personal update before the Asia Conference Circuit starts.
I am winding down my time at @CapApp and will be departing from my position as Head of Growth at the end of the month and go all-in @UFGDeFi. This was not an easy decision to make but it is the right one.
It's been an honor & pleasure working alongside @Benjamin918_ and the entire Cap team. Benjamin has stated that he wanted to get together a team of A+ players and he really did here. I've learned a lot over the past 21 months; It's hard not to when Cap is truly pursuing innovation in a sea of sameness. I'm proud of my work in bringing awareness and light to these efforts, especially in today's attention landscape. As Cap continues to advance a new form of credit to the productive economy, I'll be rooting for them from the sidelines and I know they will do me proud.
Yes it has been fun being "TradFi Dave" for a bit, but in reality DeFi Dave never left. Whether that is what @Cibolan2000 and I have been cooking at UFG or with the interviews @patfscott and I have been doing with @FullyVested_Pod, what both have in common is they are a vision of DeFi I want to see in the world.
Time is precious and there are few moments that are given to you where you can actually have an impact. Right now is one of those moments and I would be not true to myself if I didn't pursue it with all my heart and soul.
For everyone who has been apart of my crypto journey for the past 9.5 years, your support means more than you'll know to me. And as I enter this next chapter, I leave everyone with a quote from the greatest himself, Muhammad Ali:
“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it - then I can achieve it.”
I stand by those words. Now watch with your eyes. See you in Seoul and Singapore.
In the latest episode of the @FullyVested_Pod, @that1618guy joined us to talk about why Robinhood Chain is succeeding, token fundamentals and DeFi's next six months.
