In this episode, we’re joined by Matti and Rapolas from Zee Prime Capital to discuss the evolution of SocialFi, the current state of the crypto markets, and some of the innovative projects they are backing. They dive into the importance of adaptability in venture markets, how culture arises onchain, and explore crypto’s identity crisis. Finally, they look back on the Fat Application Thesis, and how things have played out thus far.
