A few things I changed my mind about this year:
I used to think only consumer apps would drive the next cycle.
Now I think infrastructure may capture more value than expected. $INJ is one example, where specialized ecosystems keep attracting serious users.
I used to think storage and compute were separate conversations.
Now it feels like they’re merging as AI grows. $FIL keeps looking more relevant when data heavy applications need decentralized resources.
I used to underestimate backend dependency.
That’s why $FLT caught my attention.
Fluence focuses on decentralized compute, and many so called decentralized apps still rely on centralized clouds when real workloads begin.
I used to think interoperability was mostly marketing.
Then usage expanded across ecosystems. $AXL is a reminder that connected networks may matter more than isolated winners.
Still learning, still adjusting.
Sometimes changing your view is the best signal you’re paying attention.
