"I’ve built a career on channeling anger and negativity and turning it into something good. My sister Venus once said that when someone out there says you can’t do something, it is because they can’t do it. But I did do it. And so can you." SW, GOAT

Brainwriting trumps brainstorming

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.

A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.

Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

Más allá del hype con los PFP, la verdadera revolución que traen los NFTs son una forma de representar la propiedad de un activo digital.

Hoy sus los casos de uso son ciertamente limitados, pero hay muchísimo potencial a medida que la adopción y la regulación avanza.
