“One thing we did really well, which I’m very proud of… is not add incentives… our thesis was you’ve got to add incentives post product-market fit, not pre-product-market fit, or else you’ll end up in trouble… you don’t want incentives to go towards quote-unquote investors… investors should profit based on real usage, but not from mismanaged token treasuries.” — 00:30:36
