Lex chats with Dave Balter about the complexities of building data products on the blockchain and the importance of understanding human relationships and reality when building startups. They also discuss Flipside Crypto – a platform that builds business intelligence via a suite of analytics tools that provide insights into user behaviors, developer activities, and financial health, to crypto organizations – and MetricsDAO – a community of Web3 data analysts who provide blockchain projects with on-demand data insights and tooling. Additionally, they touch on replacing Excel with ChatGPT and on-chain  smart contract data, and how to evaluate Web3 projects, as well as the future of how the value chain stacks on top of data and analytics to actually drive decisions and potentially drive automated decisions
