Interesting to see even my first cast was book related, pre channels

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.

Dig into the posts ⤵️

Also, when a foreign idea, name, event, book or something else gets mentioned, it’s harder to search. You have to guess at spelling. 

But audio is the only way I can read as much as I like. To read while running, walking, driving, commuting, doing chores is a game changer and makes the sacrifices worth it.

Probably 90% of my reading is now audio, but I don’t think it’s as edifying because it makes information retrieval harder. 

There’s no index. You can’t flip around easily. You can’t underline, highlight, or screenshot text. You can’t scribble or annotate in the margins. (Audio bookmarks don’t cut it.)

From 'tap' chips to Taylor Swift.

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

In this episode @michaelblau, @hackr, & @creeefs discuss the merging of the digital and physical, new consumer experiences enabled by chipped goods, the challenge of counterfeits and bots, and more.

Jolt Alpha it out and it's crazy fast with more optimization opportunities remaining than any other zkVM. Since uses a many-round polynomial IOP based on sum-check + a commitment scheme for multilinear polynomials, it hasn't had all the eyes on it (like other methods). Lots of low-hanging fruit to PROVE FAST.

We're finally releasing Jolt Alpha – the world's fastest zkVM.

Jolt is fully open source. Always has been and always will be.

zkVMs are the closest I've seen to algorithmic magic and I believe they'll allow us to deliver on the promises of web3.

I recently went on Rick Rubin’s podcast.

We got to talk about:

- internet history
- little tech vs big tech
- internet economic models
- composability & open source software
- blockchains & tokens
- software as art

And much more.

Are DAOs really eligible as nonprofits? @milesjennings @cowriellc

What’s the slim volume between Beard and Howey?

🚨Big News🚨Wyoming just enacted a game-changing law for web3.

It creates a new entity for DAOs – the Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) – that’s been years in the making.

@cowriellc and I provide everything you need to know below:
