## Reach
- followers: 13488

- posts_total: 4483
- posts_observed: 5
- posts_per_day: 1.37

## Engagement
- status: peak_post_only
- peak_post_engagement_rate: 0.01075
- best_post_interactions: 145
- measurement_source: x_post_interactions
- measurement_formula: interactions on one post — likes, or likes + reposts + replies depending on the discovery path (the two are not distinguishable in the stored data)
- comparable_pool: peak_interactions
- status_note: We have only the single best observed post, so no mean exists. peak_post_engagement_rate is an UPPER BOUND, systematically higher than an average — never compare it against an average rate.
- unit_note: engagement_rate and peak_post_engagement_rate are ratios (0-1); avg_interactions_per_post and best_post_interactions are absolute counts. Read status before reading any number: a null rate has several different causes and status says which one applies here.

## Evidence
- [x_richwgalvin#e2cc5c36] Really enjoyed the discussion with @sgoldfed, a genuine crypto OG with a career arc from Princeton's cryptography labs to co-founding Arbitrum - which continues to hold its place as one of the largest L2s. We covered a lot, including L2s vs. mainnet and why Arbitrum's licensing m (https://twitter.com/richwgalvin/status/1844677870482055361)
- [x_richwgalvin#524356c9] I've reached the point where I'd advise nearly every portfolio company of ours to do the same as CARDS (which we own): reinvest all or the vast majority of profits in growth. I struggle to find clean data that shows profitable crypto projects buying back tokens trade at a premium
- [x_richwgalvin#a989667f] Agree this is a massive efficiency unlock for those trained in a field with analyst/associate benches - those used to barking random requests at all hours of the day. AI is becoming far better/faster than even the best analyst and gives the capacity to go down a lot more rabbit h
- [x_richwgalvin#df7932f1] Time in the arena is the biggest moat imo - really just a form of network effect. You can fork the code but the track record stays with the original. If I'm looking to earn on stables, a new venue has to pay me a material spread over Aave purely to compensate for the years of not
- [x_richwgalvin#ea1b5592] If your thing is stock picking and "seeing the future" why are you putting on complex derivatives trades in which you have little to no experience and are about the only mechanism that can wipe you out before the future arrives? Im a million miles away but a case of a young guy t

- [x_richwgalvin#fd433b18] This is very good - we expect a proliferation of tools like this across most platforms (Robinhood opening up to trading agents a month back another example). One of the easiest financial trends to draw from AI is a material increase in trading volumes across all markets - crypto 
- [x_richwgalvin#d52946b8] @risechain team are crushing it - real users, tight spreads, new market launches and volumes steadily building toward $100m per day. Always smarter to trade on an exchange where the points have the best shot of being valuable. DACM is a (very happy) early-stage investor in Rise a
