QYH 🤝VVP

[QYH | 千予汇 @QYH_official]

Today, we at QYH are excited to announce that we have completed our Pre Series-A round of funding with Vickers Venture Partners. (1/4)

[JB @jamie247]

We need to stop replicating the excesses of Wall Street and start focusing on building sustainable economic systems.

The whole FTX saga just further reinforces a push for #ReFi in ‘23, one that we are already seeing emerge at the early stage venture.

Midjourney v4 is a huge improvement. I’ve been playing with it all morning and have had great luck generating pixel art-like assets. Not perfect yet but getting there! H/t @fabianstelzer for the heads up.

Here’s the same ‘cave troll’ prompt in v3 (left) and v4 (right)

[fabian @fabianstelzer]

Midjourney V4 is an incredible achievement - haven't been this excited about the AI synth space in like 2-3 weeks 😅

so many worlds to explore and discover

"Solarpunk is a more recent movement in crypto/Web3, which seems to have formed in reaction to the individualist, libertarian-leaning streak running through Bitcoin," CoinDesk Columnist Paul Dylan-Ennis (@polarpunklabs) writes.

Opinion.

❤️‍🔥A new essay

I try to answer the questions: what does the DTC brand deluge of the 2010s all amount to?

And how do we respond to the designed cultures, connected cults, and digital faiths that are superseding brands today?

This is life after lifestyle

"Cryptocurrencies were identified as respondents’ least preferred transaction method. Blockchain, as a disruptive technology for carbon markets, could represent a new area of innovation and demand in the VCM, or if abused, a potential throwback to the days of ‘carbon cowboys’."

[nick 🧙🌳 @_nickmanthey]

great new report from EM, notable how respondents feel about transacting with crypto in the VCM right now:

[Ecosystem Marketplace @EcoMarketplace]

2022 Q3 findings now available! We have overhauled our database this year to better capture the astonishing diversity of voluntary #carbonmarkets credit types and attributes. >170 project types currently tracked! https://t.co/OQ3Njah6Jh #SOVCM2022 @StephenDonofrio

@MusicalChaotic woke up, chose violin.

[nick 🧙🌳 @_nickmanthey]

it always astounds me when the people that brought us “the future of money” can’t imagine the future value of carbon markets.

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

No amount of market efficiency magic is going to solve the underlying issue with carbon credits.

@CryptoKaleo i really hope Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan is there.

the world needs to see.

https://t.co/0NWzf9dTMQ Here is an article I wrote giving a pretty detailed overview of DAOs and how they relate to climate action. Hope you enjoy!

[nick 🧙🌳 @_nickmanthey]

at least the air in Goblin Forest is better than Goblin Town.

[StianReklevCP @CpStian]

Wow, @VerraStandards has put an immediate end to crypto groups like @ToucanProtocol tokenising VCUs that have been retired. Will explore an option that includes “immobilisation” but that will take a while. Time out for crypto/carbon market. https://t.co/qqw7woFTqe

[nick 🧙🌳 @_nickmanthey]

not a great look, imo.

[Kate Clark @KateClarkTweets]

Adam and Rebekah Neumann’s crypto startup Flowcarbon raises $70 million in equity & token funding from Andreessen Horowitz. Yup, you read that correctly.

woke up, chose to search for alien intelligence on-chain:

"The faint image of a god was observed by your telescope. It appears to be a smoky lizard. It is a few hundred million pixels in size. Please send all your weapons, agricultural & medical supplies. We are ready to trade."

[godmin @heaven_computer]

after 6+ months in the making, i am ecstatic to announce that god observer is finally out!
head to https://t.co/h01zC07RnU to learn how to observe the gods 🔭

@JustCarbonCom's 'fair launch' is a joke. This is a case of a traditional market player trying to milk the crypto space and show's their incompetence in 1) modeling an LBP; 2) creating a fair launch; 3) understanding the true value of a decentralized carbon market.
