In a recent thread on crypto, I argued that crypto and tokens enabled the formation of businesses that heretofore could not be created. Some responded that cash could be used in place of tokens, and therefore the ‘innovation’ of crypto was not meaningful. I beg to differ.
It's the best time to start a social media company in a decade.
Twitter: Dysfunctional 🫡
Snap: Featurized
Instagram: Trying to be TikTok
TikTok: Geopolitical nightmare
Facebook: OnlyBoomers
Think we're in for some big shifts.
This was a great piece by @mariogabriele, it is important to acknowledge the multitude of risks in web3 / crypto. This quote stayed with me "Crypto is behaving dishonorably and foolishly. Loving it, believing in it, requires us to recognize this reality – and act to improve it.”
This year continues to destroy the confidence of the web3 / crypto industry. Although I still wholeheartedly believe in the fundamentals of web3, these events reiterate the need for transparency, safety + reliability
1) Hey all: I have a few announcements to make.
Things have come full circle, and https://t.co/DWPOotRHcX’s first, and last, investors are the same: we have come to an agreement on a strategic transaction with Binance for https://t.co/DWPOotRHcX (pending DD etc.).
my friend asked me how to access web3 and how to get onboarded. my simple answer is that you access it like any other web2 application except that the infra behind it is built on top of a blockchain. let's make it easy for everyone to get onboard!
A theme from @money2020 is we need more safety within web3. With the recent exploits & scams we’re hindering adoption. This goes beyond implementing transaction monitoring solutions but how do you monitor/secure smart contracts? How do we protect the user? 3 takeaways (a thread):
it's funny when my friends automatically dismiss web3 since they only think of the industry as a quick way to get rich trading... the main reason i am excited about web3 is that it is building a new asset class and computing form, it's not JUST cryptocurrency
i'm still a crypto newbie & it's really hard and intimidating trying to figure out where to start. Honestly HUGE shout-out to @She__Fi@maggielove_ i wish i did this course 2 years ago, it would have saved me 100s of hours of scouring the web/youtube/twitter
i came back from @money2020 last week and spirits are still high. Not surprisingly a lot of the discussions particularly in the web3 space were around fraud detection & compliance (which still need some work). great pres from @unit21inc & @sardine
