Gm!

My name is Daniel.

Some of you are friends, family, colleagues, and clients.

Many of you know me from my nearly 10 years in the music industry.

Most of you don’t know that I’ve been hurtling down the infinite rabbit hole of learning that is crypto, NFTs, and Web3 for some time now, becoming obsessed to the point of:

• Pulling out of a deal for my own record label (a life-long dream)

• Moving on from 75% of my client base as an artist manager

• Convincing my gf that this pixelated toad was worth a month of rent (it was!)

You should care because this newsletter is dedicated to you.

It’s about jumpstarting your learning process, sending you down that same rabbit hole, demystifying the technical and cultural language (what’s a WAGMI?), explaining like you were five. Think Joe Rogan meets Naval.

We’ll even venture into the philosophical debates, including some of the populist, bag-shilling bullsh*t you are bound to come across during your adventures in the metaverse (like the idea that NFTs will end poverty or DAOs will end capitalism).

Ultimately, this newsletter and podcast will function as a resource for learning, one that promises you:

• An evolving understanding of crypto, NFTs, and Web3 (starting with the basics)

• Interviews with artists, builders, disruptors, engineers, and thought leaders

• Resources to further your learning (articles, podcasts, videos, tweet storms etc.)

• Philosophical food for thought

• Predictions on the future of the space

• Whatever else I think you’ll find interesting or helpful\

We’re going to start with the basics, so the next article will dive into some definitions, examples, and analogies, as well as an annotated list of articles, videos, and podcasts to further your learning.

If this all sounds good to you, feel free to follow along.
