Crypto: The Game

Undercover ops. Spreadsheet drama. Emoji puzzles in piss-scented alleys.

Incredible write-up from WIRED on going undercover for CTG S3 that reads like a spy thriller.

If you've ever wanted to know what it feels like to play Crypto: The Game, read this: https://www.wired.com/story/crypto-the-game-undercover/

photo from last night with @dylanabruscato sharing /crypto-the-game with a tech-forward digital media community. @evangreenberg was there, too!

the community creates immersive entertainment, AI-generated media, XR experiences, etc. a few of my takeaways:

1. @dylanabruscato is a gift to our space. high integrity, earnest, fun, with a deep understanding of what blockchain and the new internet can unlock. incredible evangelist and ambassador for what we do.

2. everyone loves the CTG concept. first question is: do i need to know crypto?

3. there was a lot of "why crypto?" and "crypto is a scam" upfront (kudos for the honesty!). when we dug in deeper, the major issues are: a) not used anywhere except speculation, b) expensive and slow. we showed them USDC p2p payment on warpcast (cc @worqas) and they were like what?! really?! special moment, instantly became more open to crypto.

4. two people said they were already reading @cdixon.eth's Read Write Own. pleasantly surprised! gonna get coffee with both soon.

Low quality photo, but high quality night

Had a blast on Talking Tokens with @jacqmelinek, talking all things CTG, HQ Trivia, and SNL.

Two weeks ago, we hid CTG Immunity at Best Pizza in Williamsburg and it became a meme.

Last night a bunch of S3 players reunited there for dinner. Love our players.

Such a pinch-me moment in WIRED this morning

Farcaster

A year ago, I checked a box and joined Farcaster.

Now I’m hijacking push notifications, automating DMs, and convinced every crypto founder should be building on it.
