Maurice Chalfin on how 99.9% of crypto tokens have no utility: "Like hundreds of thousands of coins have been launched over the last few years." "99.9% are associated with nothing, no utility, no use case. They're just frivolous meme coins, they're shit coins." "We wanna kind of want to reframe that and bring utility back to coins in a way." @mauricedotxyz @openappsxyz

Shengkun Ye on why AI startups don't need to be in SF, except for one thing: "Yeah, I think not necessarily." "Other than SF, there are also other cities like Singapore or like Shenzhen for the hardware. There are a lot of things going on in the rest of the world." "If you want to make something really venture scalable and to raise money from VC, probably SF is the best place." "So like I would say it really depends on what type of startup you want to build." @shengkunye @MonidHQ
