🚀 Crypto's Cypherpunk Roots: The Remix! 🎶

Jesse Walden, managing partner at Variant Fund, predicts that the original cypherpunk values of blockchain—like censorship resistance and permissionlessness—may fade over the next decade. Why? Institutional adoption is pushing for speed and compliance.

In a recent blog post, Walden explains that smart contract platforms are now driven by performance, cost, and legal compliance. Think of it as the "mainstream remix" of crypto. 🎧

But don't fret! This shift could mean more wallets and apps in users' hands, making crypto more accessible.
