Good piece!
For the last month I worked on a non-bs guide to crypto GTM. To anchor it in real-world examples, I spoke with founders & early team members of Aave, ZORA, POAP, Snapshot, L2Beat, Zerion, SushiSwap & others to find how they unlocked their growth. Now the guide is finally out👇

Great GTM post ”people not understanding Uniswap it was a me-problem, not a them-problem. If I wanted people to use my project, I needed to talk about it on their terms, in ways they understood”
Replying to @MacBudkowski
And the dynamic is this: even great products didn’t spread automatically. It’s even more true in 2025, when building is cheap and attention is the real bottleneck. So if you build in crypto and want to navigate that, you'll find this guide useful: kanfa.macbudkowski.com/crypt…

@MacBudkowski if you're working on your GTM strategy, you should definitely check this out. Not only does Mac know a thing or two about the field from hands-on experience, but he has also spent countless hours discussing the topic and researching others' playbooks. We’re top

My buddy wrote a nice overview of Go To Market strategies in crypto. If you’re preparing to launch something new, you should give it a read!

I met Mac through @cryptotesters and reached out to him to get ideas on user acquisition for @Qurios_ai. We spoke for 45 mins and I learned a lot through that call. He’s super knowledgeable and I would recommend every founder to chat with him. Absolutely worth the time!!

Great article about innovation in crypto and how to deliver actual products that people want and need long-term, not just to get an airdrop tomorrow. I love the examples taken from experience and backed by data. Thanks @MacBudkowski for the write-up. 👏🏼
Finding PMF is like searching for water with a magic rod. The rod shakes when water is near. But did it shake because of real water, or your trembling hands? Or maybe some fake oasis? Consumer crypto is full of these fake signals and I describe them in my new essay (1/3)👇

We are still early At some point in the future Ethereum will be the bedrock of the global economy and billions of people will use it every day, either directly on indirectly nitter.gq/MacBudkowski/status/19…
CT often says: "We are still early". But how early are we? According to @growthepie_eth, Ethereum has 45M monthly active addresses (Mainnet + L2s). Even if every address was a separate user, it's 45M people out of 8B. That's less than 1% market penetration.

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage. Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-j…
