🌟 What an amazing event! Proof of Talks by X Ventures in Paris was undoubtedly the best of Europe! Huge congratulations to the X Ventures team! 🌟 Key Takeaways: 📈 Meme tokens are here to stay. 🌞 Bitcoin De-Fi Summer is on the way. ⏳ Longer cliffs and lock-ups - Choose your VCs wisely! 🤖 DePIN + AI - So much to look forward to! I had a fantastic discussion at the "Drivers for Crypto Adoption" panel with Rubby Yung from Animoca Brands, Meow from Jupiter, and Benjamin Mincu from MultiverseX. Rubby's perspective was particularly insightful - just as it once seemed impossible for everyone to upload random videos online, meme tokens now seem accessible only to professionals, but soon everyone will be able to participate. Blockchain games, infrastructure, and Bitcoin DeFi are the areas to watch closely. Enhancing liquidity access could transform many countries. Another highlight was the "Debate: Crypto's House of Cards - Differentiating Hype from Substance" panel featuring Irene Wu (Venture Partner, Bain Capital Crypto), Etienne vantKruys (Managing Partner, TRGC), and Matt Law (CCO, Outlier Ventures). Irene emphasized the need for longer lock-ups (4-5 years), highlighting the importance of investor approach. Etienne agreed, noting that 1-year cliffs are now the minimum, and 4-year block vesting is acceptable. However, I resonate with Matt's point that postponing problems doesn't solve them - fundamentals and good communication with investors are crucial for designing the right token strategy. Proof of Pitch was another highlight. Great competitions with amazing projects. Congratulations to William Raulin 🚀 and the entire X Ventures team for their fantastic work. I also had the privilege of checking out Pitch Scan, which reviews pitch decks and provides insights and scores. I might be a bit biased because GoArt has an outstanding score. 😀 It's definitely going to be a game-changer for many projects and investors. Excited for what the future holds! 🚀 #Blockchain #Crypto #DeFi #Investments #Innovation #XVentures #ProofOfTalks
