ANECDOTE

Short Retirement Then Back To Build

  • Joseph briefly retired after BlackRock but returned because he wanted to bridge TradFi and crypto responsibly.
  • A call (and Joe Lubin's involvement) pulled him back to lead Sharplink's ETH treasury mission.
ADVICE

Use MNAV As A Tactical Signal

  • Watch MNAV to time actions: periods below 1 can present buying opportunities if fundamentals hold.
  • Use MNAV signals with discipline rather than reacting to short-term sentiment swings.
INSIGHT

Behavioral Risk Trumps Regulation Now

  • The biggest current risk for DATs is operational and behavioral, not only regulation.
  • Build an efficient frontier of yield versus smart-contract, counterparty, and protocol risks and start slow before scaling strategies.
