On BD, devrel and Superchain

On BD & devrel

The reason many people shit on BD and devrel in crypto circles is that there are few who are really accountably and professionally conducting these roles all the whilst being adapting to the constant changes in everything from narratives to infra.

The best amongst them have never cut their ties with the wisdom of legacy human institutions that does not exclude traditional finance. They know markets can be efficient and behavioral at the same time.

Markets rule everthing around me is such a motto that the most contrarian BD and devrel can signal that handsomely. You are making the deal with not Roko's Basilisk today but an average human being on a scale who make key decisions.

Wanna accelerate? You need to join forces. I perceive product development professionals in some of the most conventional banks, and money funds more contrarian than many crypto copycats.

If you have been following these names who are all the time roasted for being "centralized", they have shipped such hybrid and well-architectured products in legacy money funds, remittances, cross-border payments, well just payments, and permissionless & permissioned ledgers for different kind of products.

The innovation happening in some neutral zones across Europe, South Eastern Asia, Near and Middle East that combines crypto into the every day lives of people are unprecedented. These are felt at the street level.

It's because of visionary devrel, BD and solution architects alongside legal engineers, some of whom are so ready to transform the way we exchange knowledge, they even get to learn coding.

Yes, they know what Ethereum and its rollups do but they are also building their own, and checking other tech alongside. Do not be such a dickhead talking to people here on the socials. There is a reason people from your ingroup are more active on LinkedIn than X and Farcaster during their network state sessions.

On Superchain

Majority of Superchain aligned "social layer" product teams—be them a protocol or a platform—see the entire crypto-economics ecosystem as a bonding curve shitcoin springs resort, and yet keep continuing taking it on people trying to innovate.

Few reasons many of us still use the Lindy networks there—and provide them with sequencer fees include:

- Global tokenization trajectory will anchor in Base—alongside Solana or any EVM x SVM combo that will in actual work

- Governance experiments under the Optimism are as good as those of the infra related attempts by Gnosis—funnily, we still do not have futarchy market experiments on anything EVM

- The hybrid banking and money fund ops will utilized Chainlink which can easily tap into all, and currently the most promising on that end is anything that's affiliated with Coinbase in the West—you people do something or the East is lost to Binance and OKX via Tron and that's TBH is alright by me as long as I can easily remit, cross-border pay etc.

- BUT DECENTRALIZATION!

Bro and sista, believe me the average person here adopts faster than your bonding curve. It's always about the aggregation and the most viable route if you are "genuinely" trying to survive into the Western capitalism's beauteous standards from a periphery.

I suggest you start studying the informal and formal empires and their colonies for it's apparent you are also part of an ongoing inter-imperial hegemony wars behind the doors which keep leaking into the timeline.
