In this week's Bell Curve roundup Mike and Myles discuss the return of "token season" - with recent launches like DYDX, Celestia, and Jupiter on Solana. They debate distribution strategies like airdrops, and whether excessive costs are justified. They also discuss Solana's price explosion and admire Solana for its focus on the app developer experience. To close out the duo debate weather the next crypto cycle will see real mainstream adoption of dApps. Thanks for tuning in! - - Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (1:58) Token Season Back?
