18) Another thing worth mentioning: We try to find partnerships. We look for places where a Serum integration would be mutually beneficial, or other ways to work together. In the end our goal isn't just buy low-sell high. If possible, it's to leave both sides better off.

19) What are examples? HNT: cool project, huge upside, good partial progress, good price. But -- less certain on tokenomics and community. AVAX: legit chain, has a chance to get huge. SUSHI: high token revenue / market cap, building cool stuff. But, terrible sentiment.

20) And many more: ALPHA, TOMO, UBXT, CREAM, COMP, LEND, BAL, SXP, SUSHI, BTMX, BNB, HT, OKB, LEO... So should you go buy these? IDK! Maybe not. But why not, if we did? THERE ARE REALLY GOOD REASONS NOT TO.

21) First, we liked the price *we* bought at. But that might not be the current price! You don't know when we bought. Second, sometimes great projects don't go up. Sushiswap did lots of impressive things, and SUSHI kept going down.

22) Maybe it's strategic, or maybe it's longer timescale, or maybe it's huge upside/low probability. Or maybe it got unlucky. Or maybe we were just wrong.

23) But in general, the patterns are: a) huge upside b) really cool project c) great team d) partnership potential We do a lot of judgement calls. Like: [A] $1b of burns, $5b daily volume [B] 0 revenue, $300m incentivized daily volume B has > mkt cap than A.

24) If you are in the US, this might feel uncomfortable or wrong. If you're elsewhere, you might be thinking 'obviously'. But we're all one world. Anyway I wrote that, reflected, and started getting longer [A].

25) FTT, SRM, and SOL are in their own category. There are projects we invest in. Projects we support. And then projects we'll fight like hell for. We don't believe in them because we're long. We're long because we believe in them. When we have conviction -- we buy.

26) but this is NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. Even when we really care -- sometimes tokens go down. We can't stop that. We'll do what we can, and focus on the long term building. Not on the short term price action.

27) LIKE SERIOUSLY THIS IS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. I said that a few times but that's not enough. This is not investment advice. I don't know what will go up or down. I *really* don't know short term. That depends on what you all do: whether you buy or sell.
