We were born for times like this.

We’ve welcomed new allies to our movement over the past weeks – resulting in a surge in daily active addresses, legions of new social media followers, and many fresh partnership discussions.

The stats:

• 300% surge in daily active addresses
• @pixels_online hit 100 K DAU
• Ronin wallet MAU up 67% in November, jumping to 267K from 160K in October

We’d like to introduce you to the Ronin Effect 👇

Papa @elonmusk on twitter, talking about twitter.

The atmosphere was genuinely electric. Felt more like a rock concert than a talk at a tech conference at le dome de Paris. #VivaTech

At a conference in Berlin today and many of the European VCs are complaining that local LP capital has dried up so they are thinking about raising in the US.

Thing is…US based VCs are saying the exact same thing 🙃

Free coffee at SuperReturns. One way to give LPs liquidity.

So many awesome
conversations and humble founders at the the https://t.co/k1zdDEphv2 conference. Thanks @robinwauters !

[Techstars Web3 @techstarsweb3]

With founders statistically more likely to encounter personal mental stress, breakdown, challenges etc., managing 'mental fitness' is critical.

A huge thank you to @hellochowders for a very special Founder Mental Health session with the class 👏🏻

Another reminder to spinout founders - past, present and potential - to please please write into the UK government review with your experience and what you'd like to see change.

You have to do it now.
