Crypto’s New Trend? $10M Fund for SocialFi—It’s Not a Joke, Promise!

by

Hold on to your hats, folks, because Re7’s fund is a mere $10 million. Yes, you heard it right—$10 million, which is like a small change in the crypto universe. But don’t be fooled by the modesty. Re7 is here to make bold moves with high-conviction, early investments. Each startup will get a check that’ll range from $100,000 to $300,000, with extra reserves to keep the ball rolling. And here’s the kicker: no fancy fee-driven nonsense. They plan to be fast, disciplined, and not get distracted by the shiny, fee-driven incentives that others love to chase. Leyritz calls this a “scout vehicle” for early-stage investments, not some traditional asset-under-management drama. If they’re right, and the thesis actually works (I know, a huge “if”), Re7 might just go for a bigger follow-up vehicle. 🚗💨

The initial poster, EasePuzzleheaded563, underscores the significant impact the lack of whispering functions has had on their gaming experience, expressing it as “it feels like a multiplayer game where everyone’s silenced until the game begins,” highlighting the disconnection players feel during gameplay. Other users have shared similar sentiments, with MusicalSmasher mentioning that the absence of chat makes the entire game seem dull: “At the moment, people barely communicate via chat or voice chat.” Essential communication methods, such as sending a quick “good game” or a friendly “want to play again?” after an enjoyable match, have significantly diminished, leaving players feeling disconnected in a game that traditionally flourished on social interaction.
