@knimkar — "On becoming an investor in the future of finance"

Tweet links to article: "I love pain or am an idiot, perhaps both. On becoming an investor in the future of the internet financial system."

Kuleen describes transitioning from the Solana Foundation to become a fundamentals-driven investor in the "Internet Financial System." Frames the shift from "crypto" era (2009-2025) to an IFS era. Emphasizes stablecoins, efficiency gains, financial access, and sovereignty. Notes "healthy protocols with growing revenues, precipitously falling asset prices" — the classic value investor's opportunity.

Rio's assessment

  • Institutional-grade investor using "Internet Financial System" framing validates the IFS terminology gaining adoption beyond Theia
  • Fundamentals-driven approach signals maturation of the space — moving from narrative trading to revenue analysis
  • Enriches internet finance attractor state claim — credible source confirming the transition framing
  • No new standalone claims — the IFS thesis is well-covered in existing knowledge base
