I’ve always prided myself on my ability to add more value than I take from the web3 community. in practice this looked like doing work for free, not releasing or commercializing too much of my own work, and generally helping people because I wanted to. but it quickly devolved into a sense of martyrdom. to believe that my values were uncorrupted by profit. that my friendships were pure and my perspective untainted. to believe that I was somehow less biased. it’s true, I haven’t put out a pfp c...

It has been 144 days since my last day at Facebook (sorry, Meta 😉), but where I’ve been, it feels like I’m coming back up for air after years away. I have become completely obsessed with the emerging trends of web3 and how NFTs/crypto will continue to disrupt the systems around us. so much so that I’ve taken the leap to dedicate my full time and energy to educating, building, and shaping the ecosystem. more to come on this ;) TLDR on what I've been up to:Started a new job at Reddit 141 ...
