I vote @Delphi_Digital’s “The Year Ahead for Infrastructure 2024” to be the most intellectually rigorous and thought-provoking end-of-year report. Please open-source this one piece for all of CT.

Just read @Delphi_Digital's "The Great Reset" report about #Web3 games in 2023. One of the best pieces this year, so far. Must read.

Solana (SOL) would continue to outperform Ethereum (ETH) in 2024.

“Solana (SOL) is one we’ve been talking about for a while as a candidate primed to outperform this cycle. It reminds us of ETH last cycle, with plenty of upside potential if its ecosystem continues to grow as fast as we anticipate.”
