In this episode, we’re joined by the one and only Josh Litchman to discuss the power of front-end moats, building effective feedback loops, and the evolving landscape of crypto gaming. The conversation dives into how opinionated front ends shape user behavior, why order flow is the ultimate asset, and how games like Pixels leverage behavioral economics. We also explore the shift from traditional front ends to trading bots, the challenges of designing sustainable in-game economies, and the growing role of liquid funds in crypto markets.
