TAVO · 1267· 1y ago8“Founder first, investor second, commentator always”Mike Dudas co-founded The Block in 2018, one of the most credible crypto media companies, then moved on to build 6th Man Ventures, an early-stage crypto VC, and LinksDAO. His X presence is vocal and direct: calls out bad actors, engages on regulatory issues, and comments on the industry with genuine frequency. The standard caveat applies: he's a VC, so when he discusses projects or sectors, there's a reasonable chance 6MV has a position. Credible background, real track record, worth following with that lens in mind.
