Launching a token can be as easy as sending an email. 

Unlocking their potential as a new digital primitive and bringing them to market is much harder.

I’ve worked with dozens of founders tackling this challenge and am now releasing a 3-part playbook written for everyone. 🧵

One of the most frequent questions we get from founders is…

“How do I approach a token launch?”

So @milesjennings, @jasonr, & @adina put together a playbook covering the how, when, and what, as it relates to token launches.

Good timing for an episode covering T Swift

I wrote an oped in The FT.

My goal isn't to defend or to diminish memecoins.

It’s to point out the backward incentives of a regulatory regime in the US that lets only memecoins thrive — while companies & tokens with more productive uses face hurdles. https://www.ft.com/content/1ceaa1c6-47df-4430-950e-ffcbf1cc8f7b

Ever wonder why @cdixon.eth decided to write a book?

He breaks it down here with @hackr 🟧

Spoke to @cdixon.eth about the making of Read Write Own

He says books can present a ‘whole worldview’ in way that other formats can’t

A good sentence is like a missile:

It has a payload, velocity, and target.

Don't learn the lesson of the attract-extract cycle the hard way.

Learn it the easy way by picking up a copy of Read Write Own.

.@hackr was invaluable as an editor and thought partner on Read Write Own.

I spoke with him about the book writing process and more on the latest @a16zcrypto podcast episode.

A big reason I joined @a16zcrypto  was to work with @cdixon.eth whose writing I've long admired.

It was an honor to help edit his baby, Read Write Own. If you pick up a copy, let us know what you think. 🟧

My new book Read Write Own is available in bookstores starting today. 🟧

I wrote this book to help everyone here that’s working in crypto recruit more people to join you, and explain to your friends and family how blockchains can build us a better internet.

I had the privilege of working with @cdixon.eth as an editing and thought partner on his new book.

Read Write Own took a year and finished almost exactly on the day my son was born. (Also my bday!)

I’m thrilled the book is out now & overjoyed to celebrate with this lil guy.

Hope you enjoy as much as Henry. 🧡

Just caught this video by Vulfpeck calling for a 90/10 revenue split between artists and platforms and a more direct fan patronage model.

“This would set off a massive artistic renaissance because people would be making more money to reinvest in their projects.”

I got a real kick out of this anecdote from Chris Miller’s “Chip War.”

People consistently underestimate what a small number of smart driven people can do.

step 1: place banana in backpack
step 2: take paternity leave
step 3: open backpack

Just finished Outlive.

I don’t think I’ve ever found a book as depressing and motivating.
