One of the more inspirational aspects of working/investing in crypto (and something that most don't see) is reviewing @Solana hackathon submissions.
I've been doing this for 5 years now, and it hits me every time. Thousands of builders globally — sharing their visions for what production crypto can be and how this technology can actually reshape the global financial system. No price charts, no empty hype. Pure optimistic belief in their products.
I see it clearly every time in the video pitches — Stanford students building from dorm rooms, new grads at Wall Street firms hacking in their tiny NYC apartments, really talented devs coding late into the night in Bangalore, etc.
If you’re not watching these submissions, it’s hard to grasp just how much talent is pouring into the ecosystem right now.
It’s truly a privilege to be reviewing all of these product submissions and seeing the future of crypto being built in real time.

AI has completely transformed the way hackathon teams globally submit their products.
For example, a team of 3 dudes from Indonesia will use a Southern California valley girl AI voiceover to pitch their DeFi lending protocol.

I will be in NYC this week for Solana Accelerate.
And when I say I'll be in NYC I mean that I'll be locked in my hotel room reviewing @colosseum hackathon submissions.

Instead of screeching on this website about REV, how transacting onchain and generating some of it?

Disappointed we did not receive an onchain sperm racing platform as part of the @colosseum hackathon submissions.
9 hours left to submit your product to the @Colosseum Breakout Hackathon.
9 hours left to compete to enter the halls of @Solana startup Valhalla.
9 hours left to potentially change your life.

Market cycles can be distracting for crypto founders.
Good founders wear earplugs to focus in on building their product.
Great founders wear earplugs, but can also remove them to seize opportunities arising from shifts in market demand.
Be cycle-aware, never cycle-driven.

Ok let's settle this.
Are tokens categorized under “Internet Capital Markets” required to grant equity ownership/claims on cash flows, or can they just be memecoins loosely associated with the name of a business?

http://Colosseum.org’s hackathon/accelerator platform has more daily active users than 99% of crypto apps.
I’m not sure if this is bullish or bearish.

Very fitting that Frank DeGods retires and then the memecoin market bounces 300%. Even Zerebro is up 11% today.

Just remember, your ancestors are cheering you on as you sprint during the final week of the Solana Breakout Hackathon.
The capital of crypto is not NYC, it’s the internet.
So if you’re a crypto founder deciding where to build your startup, choose SF.
SF is still the best place on Earth to lock in, source talent, raise capital, and touch grass when needed.
