uber driver tonight asked what i do
told him crypto research and expected the usual "oh bitcoin" conversation
instead he goes "my nephew works in blockchain development, always talking about some protocol"
asked which one. he didnt remember the name but said something about governments using it
described attestations and cross-chain stuff based on what nephew told him
i was like wait... Sign Protocol?
driver pulled up a text from nephew. literally had $SIGN in the message
small world lol
driver asked if its legit cause nephew keeps saying quit uber and go all in
told him his nephew might be onto something but dont quit your job yet
explained the government deployments, the revenue model, why attestations matter
by end of ride he was taking notes on his phone
tipped extra and said tell your nephew hes early on this one
sometimes best alpha comes from random uber conversations
anyway attestation infrastructure having a moment and most people still dont know what it is
SIGN tokenomics
governance token with fixed supply.
value capture as attestation infrastructure adoption grows.
early positioning before retail understands importance.
realistic assessment
government timelines are years not months.
competition will emerge.
regulatory changes could shift landscape.
fundamentals dont always matter in crypto markets.
why im paying attention anyway
when Sequoia across regions plus other institutional capital bets on attestation infrastructure, probably worth researching.
gap between institutional bets and retail attention creates opportunity.
boring government infrastructure usually matters more than exciting narratives long term.
not financial advice. just following institutional money and doing research
