✨ DEBRIEF | Unpacking the episode: https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/debrief-chris-burniske  ------ ✨ COLLECTIBLES | Collect this episode: https://collectibles.bankless.com/mint  ------ Chris Burniske is Co-Founder of Placeholder VC, author of “Crypto-Assets,” and mentor to both David and Ryan. This is Chris’s third appearance on Bankless. He was first on three years ago for episode #20! Investing in waves. Are we talking about surfing? Are we talking about capital deployment? The answer is yes. In today’s episode, Chris unpacks why he uses the term “trashy” to describe many 2022 projects (and their founders), why crypto is like surfing and how you catch a good wave, his rules for staying sober during bull and bear markets (hint: don’t fall in love with your coconuts), and finally his bull case for Solana. ------ ?
