Hello, yet another year! 🗓

What new calamities will you bring our way?

Are you [the year of the DAO](https://future.a16z.com/dao-canon/), [stablecoin regulation](https://youtu.be/F_kZELcynKQ?t=266), and [Music NFTs](https://twitter.com/Cooopahtroopa/status/1477431176348332032?s=20) landing in a big way (as the web3 commentariat would have us believe)? 📈

Or will a cyclical bear market, [diminished expectations](https://www.oreilly.com/radar/why-its-too-early-to-get-excited-about-web3/), hyperinflation, war, novel coronavirus variants, and changing climate wipe those techno-utopian grins off of our metaverse faces? 📉

Come what may, on a personal level, I do want you to be the year when I finally get to write more in public - not least, to spare my very forgiving frens numerous Signal walls of text, an incessant shitstorm of links, and rapid fire delivery of _too many_ [abstruse goose](https://abstrusegoose.com/pseudorandom.php) ideas at various mixers in and around San Francisco.

Yes, we do live in a society and it is common decency to have immersion into one’s web of belief be opt-in, rather than opt-out. As you already know, some folks simply do not give a fuck about NFTs and revolutionary causes.

So here it is, yet another web3 blag; Z Nowym Rokom, Druzi! 🏴‍☠️
