August 9, 2022 DAOs, Modular Blockchain, Triple Halvening… let’s unpack Where are we at with DAOs… Tuned into a lunch sesh on Upstream with some insights on DAOs and future use cases. Highlighting some points in bullet form below. But first… What is a DAO? It stands for Decentralized Autonomous Organization, an organization with computer programed rules that is controlled completely by community members.

What do you value today? Family, relationships, A cat named Jim. Maybe it’s not people/ pets though. Maybe it’s freedom, independence, or worldly experiences. Maybe it’s your health and wellness. Maybe it’s Power, Fame, Success. My point being, we place value on a number of different things in our life today. What does the “world” value today? A hybrid of the things above potentially, but also the value of the USD. There is a colloquial saying, “Cash is King,” meaning cash is more valuable th...

July 4, 2022 I believe in the future of web3 and crypto. But not everyone does and here’s what they are saying…It’s a Ponzi Scheme driven by marketing tactics and financial incentiveUnderstanding what it is takes complex technological and financial knowledge, which makes it impossible for people to make a sound judgment with their moneyIt’s terrible for the environmentIt is accessible only to the early adopters and whales who have disposable income to play withWeb3 + NFTs creates artificial s...

June 20, 2022 These past two weeks have been filled with keeping my head above water and up to date on whats going on with the world, economy, and my mom who has been recovering from heart surgery. So throwing a few different seemingly random topics together that will make sense in the end. 1. Let’s skip web4 and go right to web5 as Jack Dorsey outlined in his tbd announcement two weeks ago. It will not have blockchain. It will not have smart contracts. It will all be on Bitcoin. https://deve...

June 5, 2022 It’s very easy to get caught in the grind. How do I mean? Living in NYC… in the most stimulating of atmospheres… the pace, the culture, the energy. When you remove yourself from this stimulation overload, you are forced to take a step back because let’s be honest… the rest of the world doesn’t function at NYC speed. So that’s what I did for two weeks. In doing so, I had some time to reflect on a very important question… What do I want out of life? To never stop learning, never st...

May 15, 2022 Started the week minting my second NFT, Boy’s Club Zaddy. Apparently I had gotten a two for one deal on this one…An unsolicited Bully Ape NFT that was just waiting to rug me as confirmed by friends of discord and IRL. Annoyed, confused… I hid the dumb thing in my wallet and don’t plan to ever open it. That’s the way it goes… or at least for now. On that same note, listened to interesting podcast on this exact topic that you can find here. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2bIHmMiz...

May 8, 2022 Does web3 exist without Twitter? It’s a question that’s been on my mind since Elon Musk’s $44B Twitter takeover filing a 13-D to take the public company private. This may not be the question to ask, but it is where I started in my reflection. So let’s dive in here and see where it takes us. First, what’s going on with Twitter and ultimately Elon’s vision? Elon laid out his plans for Twitter in a recent board meeting on Friday. NYT kindly summarized some of the key points here. htt...

May 1, 2022 How the hell do you buy an NFT? Well I’ll tell ya. At the beginning of the month, I met with my mentor who said to me, “If you want to learn about web3, just do it.” He suggested that by May 1st, I own an NFT. In full transparency, before this meeting, I dabbled with the thought of purchasing an NFT. I had trolled around Twitter and Discord, set up a Coinbase account and wallet, but never bought anything. So what changed? I now had a goal to own an NFT. So what did I do…I read dai...

April 24, 2022 WTF is a Moonbird? Lets compare with Bored Apes + Cryptopunks What they all have in common: They are all NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens), which are just digital assets vs. physical objects that are held on a blockchain, in these cases the blockchain is ETH (Ethereum).
