Welcome back to the Vrbish Newsletter, where we distill the biggest news and updates into a concise summary, delivered straight to your inbox every week!
In this edition we share news on Vrb's Christmas Giving, a newly passed proposal, part 2 of Vrbs in Colombia, Rocketman's new Vrbish Manifesto, and the Running for a Cause project!
This week, Fawkes brought the holiday spirit to a missionary outreach program, sponsoring a gift-giving event and bringing happiness to the lives of a group of children!
Fawkes has been highly active recently, as he was also one of the builders behind the newly passed proposal, "Vrbs Tails of Giving."
This proposal passed with a vote of 53.6k FOR to 0 AGAINST. We look forward to seeing the positive change resulting from this proposal! You can read more about it here.
Checkout the awesome Vrbs merch! 0xleo and team did a fantastic job by quickly producing Vrbs t-shirts, socks, and stickers to represent Vrbs at various events in Colombia!
I really need some Vrbs merch in my life! Maybe we should make a vrbs.build hat, what do you think?
If you have a few minutes to spare today, read this. It's worth your time! Rocketman dives deep into Permissionless Culture and what he calls the "Revolution Cycle."
The current revenue model of the internet reduces our vibrant subcultures to 1-dimensional infinite content feeds, forcing culture's creators to compete against each other for attention. And while the worlds attention has centralized around a few platforms, there's been a rise in cultural attachment as a primary selling point given the near unlimited optionality in products and services. Thus creators are sponsored to push their fans to consume products and services from companies that are only interested in profit. Creators command a huge amount of attention in the world, but their cultural influence is co-opted by corporations for soulless ends.
Vrbs Coffee will be creating a special edition coffee and content series in order to raise money for a charitable cause! We will be training for and running a marathon in 2025, and want to build an international collaborative effort, a "Vrbs Run Club" so to speak. If you're interested in joining the effort or have feedback on the charitable cause we should work with, please don't hesitate to reach out to @curtiscoffee.eth
Thank you for reading the Vrbish Newsletter, please help us spread awareness and share this with one friend today!
We will be taking next week off as I travel to visit family for the holidays!
