This is the last thread for Infinity Skies: Community Stories. Here, we seek to share the stories of the Discord members of @Inf_Skies. To have a good community, we need to highlight the people in it.
Everyone has a story to tell - we just need to pay attention 😃
@Inf_Skies "Sometimes, all we need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen, and above all, a heart to understand."
Infinity Skies, when you grow tall and strong, please don't ever forget the people that believed in you right from the start 🙂
@Inf_Skies "Guild system makes the community grow larger and makes the gaming more exciting!"
@Inf_Skies "Being able to do various things in the game is the greatest attraction of Infinity Skies for me. If it's just building, I wouldn't play it after 2 to 3 days."
@Inf_Skies "Found Infinity Skies on Twitter. I still remembered that when I joined, there were less than 50 people!"
@Inf_Skies "The developers are so transparent and they keep us updated with the latest developments in the game."
@Inf_Skies "Was recommended to Infinity Skies by the YouTube channel 談東論西 and I immediately joined it!"
@Inf_Skies Here's your chance to be really early for a blockchain game. Being early in crypto helps. A lot. Definitely the same for GameFi too 😉
Blockchain + Web3 is revolutionary, but what is limiting their potential to change the world are the challenges involved in indexing and accessing data on the blockchain itself. @ZettaBlockHQ aims to address this issue.

He discusses anthropology, Web3 and other subcultures, and many other interesting topics with @chaserchapman in this episode of On The Other Side 👇
Background
🔹 An anthropologist
🔹 Is an artist
🔹 A DAO contributor
🔹 Has a Substack, but it’s not really a newsletter, but a cultural report
Substack
🔹 It’s more an anthropological collection of a subculture
🔹 Trying to record the why and the what behind the different projects
🔹 Important to have a bird’s eye view to see the connections
🔹 Is an obsessively curious person. Have always been searching for cool stuff
Today, I'll be sharing the book highlights of @peterthiel's Zero to One. Peter Thiel is a serial entrepreneur who helped to start up many companies, like @PayPal and @PalantirTech, and invested in Facebook.
If he has something to say about startups, I want to know. Read on 👇
There are 2 kinds of progress:
• Horizontal (1 to n)
• Vertically (0 to 1)
E.g. Horizontal progress is about getting existing products distributed to more places (globalization), while vertical progress is about coming up with new products (tech).
From the book's title, you should be able to deduce which is the better kind of progress. Going from zero to one will be hard, but the rewards will be way better than going from 1 to many.
👉 Look for companies that go from 0 to 1 instead of 1 to n.
🔹 People remember the year for all the terrible stuff that happened
🔹 Important to remember the positive events too (e.g. the merge)
🔹 The merge is a transaction inclusion time decrease
🔹 Have multiple zk-EVM implementations that will have a mainnet launch in 2023
🔹 @signinwitheth has seen massive gains in adoption
🔹 Cryptocurrency payments worked during the invasion of Ukraine
🔹 Have always recommended @KeePassXC or @Bitwarden:
🔸 KeePassXC: A completely offline tool. Reserved for extreme scenarios
🔸 Bitwarden: A secure password manager that synchronizes your password database across multiple devices
Now
🔹 Online password managers have advanced quite a bit
🔹 Every reputable password manager encrypts everything on your machine before it goes into the database
🔹 Does not recommend LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane
🔹 For people new to password managers, he recommends Bitwarden
