A Return To Fundamentals w/ Dean Eigenmann


Listen Later

Dean Eigenmann, Co-Founder of Market Start Inc, joins us to talk about

the massive shift in crypto market dynamics. Dean explains his
transition from the "closeted" world of MEV trading to launching a
liquid-focused fund. We discuss why venture capital overhang has left
the market without marginal buyers and why "crypto mullets" are the
future of critical infrastructure. Dean also breaks down the math behind
token buybacks, comparing the success of Hyperliquid to the struggles
of Helium and Jupiter.
