@TheDaoMaker I think Team is key. TVL and market fit will follow if the team is strong. With the pace the Web3 space is evolving at I think it's critical to have visionary leaders to steer the ship.

I would also be interested in projects with a good Market Fit and an engaged community.

This would be my third bear market working in crypto and it's by far the most optimistic I've ever been in one. Just look around at the talent and products being built. We were nowhere close to this level in the past bear markets and it'll only keep coming out stronger as before

@jenkinsthevalet @BoredApeYC This is so exciting!

@APompliano If you want to understand finance, @AswathDamodaran is a great person to learn from.

No actual assets are destroyed in a down market. All that changes is the price people are willing to pay for them.

@provenauthority The "Hide self view" setting is the best tip I've had to help with this. Still harder than IRL though!

Another awesome podcast from @notboringco. The idea of NFTs having their own back stories was a real lightbulb moment for me.

Projects like @TallyLabsNFT are going to make everyday experiences, like books, richer and more personal through NFTs. We're just scratching the surface.

[Packy McCormick @packyM]

From a @BoredApeYC purchase to @jenkinsthevalet to @TallyLabsNFT, hear the story of how SAFA & Valet Jones are building a @a16z-backed decentralized storytelling platform, writing a book with @neilstrauss & the Jenkins community, and more. 🙉

@saylor @MicroStrategy It's easy to point at the downturn and say "it's over", but given the level of activity in crypto it seems more likely that we live in a future with #Bitcoin than without.

This still feels like it was a smart play to me, long term. Respect to saylor for having the conviction.

1/ On Why The Metaverse Needs Crypto

And, specifically, why the metaverse needs NFTs.

The tl;dr is that it is critically important that the ownership layer of the metaverse ends up on public blockchains not in private databases.

Read on for why.

This is the earliest picture with @VitalikButerin that I have. May 11, 2014.

We are still here. And we aren't going anywhere.

[Cozomo de’ Medici @CozomoMedici]

Once in a great while, a work drops that shows you the power of art, to move your heart and shake your soul

That's why I feel @deekaymotion's 'Life and Death' will go down as a defining work of this era

And why I was thrilled to acquire it today, for $1m USD, or 310 ETH ♥️⚔️👇

[thejosh.eth @thejoshWeb3]

Really enjoyed this pod on the possibilities and progress of verifiable credentials, both on chain and off chain. Love the big picture thinking @VitalikButerin brings to these discussions and it was great to hear @provenauthority share what's already being made possible.

@krissyos Thanks for putting this together @krissyos - helpful advice for how to invest methodically! I think the hard part is remembering to stick to good practices.
