Some days, I feel like I should just be working on anything besides crypto. But on those days, I like to think about the impact that crypto is having in the developing world. It's not all rosy. But it is important work. And there's still a lot to be done. https://www.charterless.com/p/when-nigeria-went-cryptonative

@nouns / @nouns-dao has rapidly become the most interesting experiment, not just in the NFT space, but in how to build a brand. This week: Don Draper, Dawn Ducks, Open Source Delis and the future of brands. https://www.charterless.com/p/what-is-a-brand-when-don-draper-met

Went to Paris with my partner two weeks ago, and seeing "priceless" art got me thinking about NFTs. In particular, if you see "art" as a bundled good of status and the art, itself, what happens when you unbundle it? What if NFTs innovated directly on status? https://www.charterless.com/p/the-emperors-new-nft

Just a quick reminder: Balaji doesn't need Bitcoin to hit $1M to profit on his bet. If he owns $2M in bitcoin, and it goes up to 40k per coin, he has already broke even on a 1M bet. If he owns $10M, he only needs it to go up to 30k.

In 2021, teenagers developed uncontrollable tics as their brains unconsciously mirrored TikTok. It was a literal memetic epidemic. Teen depression. Bank Runs. Gun violence. All memetic epidemics. Can we learn to survive in the information ecosystem we've built? https://www.charterless.com/p/what-memes-may-come

EthDenv frens: are you leaving this conference feeling more or less optimistic about our space compared to previous years? I'm enjoying the relative sobriety of the bear market conference compared to last year...

Giant Purple Brain: Does anyone know of any reports charting on-train transactions for work (not token exchanges)? Looking to size how much economic activity other than speculation/trading is being done on chain.

FC frens! I'm trying to learn more about BD tools in web3. If you have a web3 startup and are looking to source partners/clients, I would love to do some free work for you generating a few leads (if you will talk with me about your criteria).

In the last week: - The SEC cracked down on staking, issued threats about stablecoins and generally asserted authority over all of crypto. - SCOTUS hears two cases on overturning Section 230. Oh and a big battle over AI lingers. The regulation battle gets real. Here's what we should want. http://bit.ly/3Ex4gRP

Gary Gensler reminds me so much of Ari Spyros (for any Billions fans on FC).
