@TrustVanta @craft_ventures @sequoia @ycombinator Watching a former colleague build a great business is one of life's great pleasures. Knowing they know financing is only a beginning and product led growth is best - also great. Congratulations Christina and the whole Vanta team

@cdixon Yes... now what kind of economy do we want

📣 Announcing: HackFS 💻 a 30 day virtual hackathon aimed at building the foundation of the decentralized web. Devs will build dapps, games, dev tools, DeFi tools, and other hacks that use decentralized storage. Hosted by @ETHGlobal and @ProtocolLabs. https://t.co/ZO2gGym3nS

[Brad Burnham @BradUSV]

I used to think that Web3 infrastructure would be decentralized compute, storage, and communication. Physical infrastructure will be needed but if we don't get identity and incentives right - it wont matter. Danny from 3Box lays out the identity challenge here...

[3Box Labs @3boxlabs]

Identity has been an elusive challenge in Web3.

We wrote Demystifying Digital Identity to make the often-confusing topic clearer and more practical: what is ID, what to beware of, what to insist on, & what simple steps to take for your app or service

Is there a seismic shift on the horizon in TV advertising - @Simulmedia thinks there is https://t.co/VUIbE5OFgQ

[Brad Burnham @BradUSV]

Personalization is something you do for someone, targeting is something you do to someone - why doesn't the industry that spins for a living come up with a better word

I just backed Cider for Sea Turtles on @Kickstarter https://t.co/PVnXDvbQwZ

@thedanigrant on on the real reason distributed (decentralized) computing will win - integrity. https://t.co/V4OgROzGnD Echo's @cdixon https://t.co/qVxZWCykKM ... they are both right!

[Brad Burnham @BradUSV]

Will small protocols loosely joined be the more elegant, adaptive, and more easily governed architecture of a decentralized future?

[Chris Burniske @cburniske]

In conversations w/ @BradUSV & @jmonegro, the idea of “small pieces, loosely joined” has come up in the context of #crypto.

[Brad Burnham @BradUSV]

Crypto may be the only free market solution to the market failure that is the FANG data monopolies https://t.co/y1u0gt3kgn
