things are going to get much simpler:

- treasury culture will inevitably shift towards financing (subsidising) coretime experiments.

- proposals will have fungible (cashflow) and non-fungible components (coretime periods).

- economic game is simple, take a commodity resource (blockspace) and refine it into something more valuable.

This will move the ecosystem towards objective measures of impact and away from highly individualistic zero-sum status games.

It will demand the stitching together of truly [anti-disciplinary](https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/whats-in-the-name/) teams, not more silo-d ‘domain’ based thinking.

It will offer huge upside to those with the capability and vision to deliver.

Will need entirely differentiated narratives that depart from established industry conventions - eg are framed through the lens of media theory.

Broadcast → Cable → Satellite → IPTV --\>…

**Big picture:** Coinmarketcap (aka the crypto leaderboard) is made irrelevant in a coretime world.

This is the difference between [disruptive and sustaining innovation](https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/sustaining-vs-disruptive-innovation).

Long way to go, but that’s the opportunity.

Next cycle is not coming to save your bags.
