coffee

some days the urgency to act just hits you with that first sip of coffee and it's the best ☕️

First time posting on @drakula!! Congrats @alexmasmej.eth

we're starting to see the early instances of innovators dilemma play out within crypto-native protocols and apps...

Coinbase's launch of @base is a pretty incredible example of leaning into the disruption and redefining what their business looks like in a decade

social tokens, NFTs, memecoins...no matter the medium, all come down to the ability to own a shared idea

enjoying how farcaster + apps building on top are orienting consumers to behaviors beyond writing / messaging

much more of a creative landscape for a user to engage actively with than simply scroll passively

if you're coming to Austin for SXSW + /brandnew @boysclub 
- let's meet up!

DM me for a few events + coffee 🙂

what did I miss?

Books

just finished No Filter - very relevant for the current crypto social convo

interesting tidbit that gets to the core of decentralized social. This problem isn't one most users care about, but is increasingly important as people's livelihoods depend on these platforms

venturecapital

what are common crypto VC myths / misconceptions today?

some consumer crypto ideas I'm excited about

- embedded NFT product experiences 
- crypto-native publishers (like Farcaster)
- AI agents in-game

my biggest reading hack this year is replacing all my instagram scrolling (waiting in lines, car rides, airport, etc) with kindle time

always be reading a book

frames
