I'm reassessing what I thought on Day 1.

When I started watching OpenGradient, my thesis was simple: utility metrics matter more than price. 2M inferences. 500K proofs. The network was doing real work. Price felt secondary.

Seven days later... price is up 84%. And the utility metrics? Still growing. Steadily. Not explosively. The gap between price velocity and utility velocity is widening, not closing.

In crypto, I've learned to pay attention to divergences. Sometimes price is early. Sometimes price is wrong. The hard part is you rarely know which one until after the fact.

The attestation registry doesn't lie. But markets don't wait for registries.

So here's what I keep sitting with: in every major divergence I've watched since 2017, one side eventually closes the gap.

Which side closes first and what does that tell us about what the market actually values?
