Tervo - Modern Idiot, Future Prophet
In the third episode of Season five, we are joined by one of our favorite anons in the space, Tervo. Tervo is known for his long-form writing over at Page One, as well as his hilarious twitter account where he stream of consciousness yaps all day while providing updates on his daily lunch orders. We dive into Tervo’s process for staying curious and being early to new trends, the paradox of money, his writing process, the psychology of crypto trading, and more. Note, this episode was recorded in April 2024 and Andy and I had some takes on Blast gold farming that aged like raw milk left out in the sun for an entire summer.

Shorts | Julian Holguin: Why Content is The Hook
This short highlights one of my favorite moments from my conversation with Julian Holguiin of Doodles and Jesse Pollak of Base. Content is the hook that will usher in billions of users from web2 into web3. Doodles knows this best, and with Julian's prolific background in media and music, coupled with their acquisition of a major animation studio, they're perfectly positioned to execute on this strategy.

Synthetix’s Kain Warwick Talks About What it Takes to Scale
This week, we sat with Kain Warwick, DeFi OG and founder of Synthetix. In some ways, last year wasn’t a great one for the synthetic assets protocol. As many DeFi projects boomed, SNX’s price and TVL dropped. Kain says he was too optimistic about how soon Synthetix would be able to scale with optimistic roll-ups. If he were to do things again, he would probably use Polygon first and move to Optimism once the solution was ready. But last year was also a time to build on a strong foundation. He’s looking forward to the months to come, when all of that effort hopefully comes to light, with the protocol fully live on Optimism, with perpetual swaps expected to be launched too. He’s a firm believer that Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions will capture the most value being built in DeFi and web3.
