Are you all realizing the implications of this $SOS Airdrop???
OK — b4 all the VC thinkpieces start.... these airdrops (like $ENS before it) flip script on how EVERYONE will value their time + spending online👉 u're finally rewarded 4 using. It's bringing incentives that I love (as a founder/investor) to the COMMUNITY that makes it all work
Because everything is in a public database, it allows anyone to show up and reward behavior stored there. Yes, there will be lots of spam, but the projects that emerge w great teams can win big by incentivizing (not preying upon) community.
If you thought my interview on Minimum Viable Community slapped earlier this week, it just got 10x more valuable:
I've built and breathed community for 16 years+ and I'm here rn like. Merry Christmas indeed. (also brilliant drop date not just bc sentimental, but also bc so many ppl are avoiding their family, on their phones/computers, lol, and no other news cycle)
Now: Anyone can show up to a massively successful project and draft on their community and if you offer something more interesting / rewarding etc, leapfrog your way into a very motivated Minimum Viable Community overnight.

Convinced yet? 👇😏 It's happening. A year ago I started really banging the Web3 drum...keep watching where the talent goes
Seeding coinbase in 2012 was eye-opening, so was the ETH-pre-sale, but even 2 years ago I was writing about how it was inevitable that gaming would be leveled up thanks to web3: medium.com/initialized-ca…
It's clear the tech here to stay. There'll be a Cambrian explosion of new products creating better User Experiences (which is all people care about at the end of the day). @sevensevensix has been busy backing @trylolli @QuickNode @IslandsXYZ @Topiaio + more we can't announce yet

Me, every single time someone in my replies tells me that No OnE WaNTs tO WAtCh WoMEn'S SpOrTs.

Your ignorance & rage gives me so much more motivation. Just watch.
There'll eventually be a Drive to Survive moment for @NWSL and then it'll be GG. Mark my words.
And way too many people are gonna be like "wE HaD No IdEa WoMEn ConSUmEd MEdIa, CrEaTed CoNteNt OnLiNE, Or ParTicIpATeD IN ThE EcONoMy."

Even decades of @NCAA bludgeoning women BB couldn't stop em from being more engaging + more followed than the men.

Tomorrow @ 6:30pm ET, @tom_sachs and I are discussing the auction of a 1/1 Rocket NFT, which is @ChristiesInc x @opensea's first ever completely on-chain auction.
The Rocket is named ‘Through the Night Softly’ and is the ONLY Miami Vice branded Rocket in the entire collection. The auction opens at 5pm ET tomorrow 12/2 and ends 24 hours later on 12/3.
At the same time as the auction, @tom_sachs will be launching 75 Physical, real life, one-to-one twins of existing Rocket NFTs.

It's striking how polarizing this tweet was and if you're tempted to try to dunk on it, I'm sorry to say it will not age well: @cdixon is absolutely right.
Blockchain is not only the proven tech to do it, but the timing with a critical mass of online community and culture gives it the opportunity to actually work. Internet culture is culture. That was true a decade ago when the front page of Reddit was the next day's news.
This probably feels laughable to people because it's such a massive shift for anyone who doesn't live in online culture & community *and* hasn't also seen crypto dramatically evolve in the last decade to do Remarkable Work.
