I've got a confession to make.
About 3 years ago when I made the leap into Web3 I deleted my LinkedIn account.
I told myself "I'm full-time Web3 now! I don't need this!"
Besides, all our comms is done on X or TG or Discord, right?
Well, I couldn't have been more wrong...
You see, Web3 has been maturing into a space where real world connections matter.
Professional networks matter.
Credibility matters.
While X is still the best place for networking in Web3, I realize that LinkedIn is quickly gaining relevancy.
In fact, there is a whole other world that exists outside our Web3 bubble.
I was cutting myself off from a broader ecosystem.
LinkedIn, for all its corporate sheen is a powerful tool for building trust, and showcasing expertise.
Think investors, founders, partners, or even trad-fi industries curious about Web3 and the blockchain.
I learned the hard way that ditching LinkedIn didn't make me "more Web3". It just limited my reach.
The evolution in Web3 should be about bridging worlds, not burning bridges.
So yeah, I'm back on LinkedIn, rebuilding my profile and connecting with a new era of Web3.
And sure, you can say that's not very Web3 of me - but I'd counter that being Web3 means embracing everyone who is curious about this space.
No matter where they come from.

It's official.
Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs is now the most expensive NBA game in history.

This game will shatter every previous record by a mile.
I’m here to report that the hype is real
Parenthood is a peak life experience once the kids are all 4+
The first few years are tough and real work. But it does pay off handsomely later. For almost all parents I know
@thegreatola OG is such an underrated player in the league man. He's got Kawhi defence while being half as good offensively - and half as good as Kawhi on offence is still really good.
