the fascinating thing about europe is that waiters refuse to get shit done even if
a you start raising your voice
b you say you will pay extra
usually one of the two works in asia or us but not here

maple is a story of inhuman perseverance and success against all odds
amazing to see such stories in DeFi
the only other similar comeback story i can think of is Pendle

parts of europe are beautiful but the service is pretty subpar everywhere
- coffee is shit
- 5 star hotels dont have laundry services over christmas (what the)
- food is mid af except for select parts of italy and france
- staff is lazy and rude when you ask them for basic things
every time i come here i realise im just gonna stick to uk, us and asia

the more i travel to europe the more i realise these people have no idea about hospitality
if you are a tourist they will just max extract, give you the shittiest coffee, have you wait at the check in desk because they won’t hire more etc
massive difference compared to asia

the reality is large token holders are afraid their tokens are worthless
they saw axelar get acquired while token holders get fucked
so i do not blame them and in fact, this is an opportunity to make tokens more attractive than equity
but coming to a solution in aaves case involves both sides coming to an agreement

the aave drama needs to stop
it cannot be mired in conflict at a time like this, not when AAVE is best positioned to take on finance
time to shake hands, make an agreement and fuck the banks lads

ethereum is doubling down on yield products (jp tokenised fund, blackrock’s buidl)
solana and hype are doubling down on trading execution instead
the reality is that yield products tend to have much lower margins than trading ones
eth needs to embrace trading to survive
