Bullish
$OPENNET— Open networks will dominate over closed networks in crypto, following historical precedents like Visa's success. The open loop model is fundamental to crypto's value proposition.

Bearish
$SOULBOUND— Soul bound tokens and ENS names are fundamentally flawed from a privacy perspective, permanently exposing personal identifiable information on immutable ledgers.
