Gm! This week, we debate whether we finally topped or have another leg higher, if the macro outlook and rate cuts are bullish for crypto, and which DATs are just exit liquidity schemes. We also dig into Solana’s branding problem, Helium & DePIN’s disappointment, and which billionaires have really contributed to the world. Enjoy!
