@amytongwu Great thread! Quick take from a long-time gamer/escapist: Existing life-based economies (gamers' ⏰/💵/👀) + studios' complete control over in-game economies (🪙/💎/⚔️/👾) + #web3 = exhaustion & disappointment for everyone. Huge opp for real innovation vs iteration. #earlydays

if you're buying NFTs to get rich quick from NFTs (with money you can't afford to lose), then for a lot of you, it'll never happen

instead, buy to participate in the culture, selecting assets which reflect your taste and values,

& perhaps profit long-term from their ascendance

@sarah_edo @johnmaeda "Syntactic tl;dw" might have been a good choice. I think it's more about writing efficiency, with comprehensibility taking a close 2nd.

How am I supposed to believe we “can’t afford” Medicare for All, paid family leave, or climate action when our politicians are willing to pass a $768 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?

Score! @graceful_io 🐰

2 things I think a lot about and tell all my friends about #nft buying

Buy with money that you can afford to go to zero

Buy art or collectibles you genuinely enjoy and want to own

Let there be no confusion .. there’s a gold rush when it comes to projects & that’s risky

[iambenthompson @iambenthompson]

@alexisohanian Transparency? Or ownership? And if ownership, then wouldn't privacy be implied as well, due to human nature + risk mitigation? And what does that say about transparency, long term? Been wrestling with this. I think there will be a whole range of options.

[iambenthompson @iambenthompson]

@SenToomey Appreciate your approach today! QQ: Don't stablecoins effectively offer the same functionality as physical bonds/currency, but truly online? I can have actual custody of one, give one to someone else, use it as collateral, etc. I wish someone used that analogy at the hearing.

[Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey]

Stablecoins are an exciting new technology that create opportunities for faster payments, expanded access to the payment system, programmability, and more.

I hope my colleagues will join me in working to create a sensible regulatory regime that allows this innovation to thrive.

[Greg Rogers @gregintech]

This is called The Bond. And there is only 1. NFT auction on Dec 15 @graceful_io. 100% of proceeds go to charitable DAOs like @basinDAO @TheEdenDao @BigGreenDAO and more. Easter eggs included. The one by Alice will make you smile.

@Polygon1993 @FastCompany @CoinDesk @printmag Beautiful work! Have they launched yet? Thanks!
