2021 has been one hell of a year for me.

1) Embraced the nomad lifestyle & stayed in 7 cities

2) Quit my job in web2

3) Wrote 30+ threads on web3

4) Recently signed a new role in web3 (sharing soon 👀)

For my last thread of the year, I wanted to share my 5 favorite posts 👇
1/ First is my web3 P&P mega-thread.

To me, web3 is just like the iOS app store.

I picked 10 different products/protocols and did deep dives on why they're so cool!

2/ Next, I wanted to share a thread on 11 reasons why web3 is the future.

If you're trying to get into crypto but are still unsure as to why, then this thread is perfect for you!

3/ If you're in crypto and are trying to get friends & family excited about this new world, check this thread out!

4/ If you know nothing about crypto/web3 and want to get started, I highly recommend signing up for this 12 day e-mail course I wrote with @petergyang!

5/ Ask anyone in Web3 and they'll say the same thing...if you want to get involved, you just have to try the new tech.

Learn by taking action!

I promise this new world will really start to feel more exciting.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Super excited for 2022 🎉

gm! New pfp 👀

I believe @chain_runners is going to be the next blue chip NFT collection.

Runners = Punks + Artblocks + Nouns

The project is relatively new, but already gaining so much momentum.

Here's why 👇

1/ Early last week, @faraaznishtar got me hooked on the Runners.

I saw that the floor price was starting to 🚀 last night and decided to write this thread.

To understand the importance of Chain Runners, let's start at the beginning.

2/ In June 2017, Matt Hall and John Watkinson (Larva Labs team) released the CryptoPunks.

The punks drop initiated the craziness of the NFT world we know today.

In fact, the ERC-721 standard released in January 2018 was inspired by the success of the Punks.

It took me a while to understand why web3 is so important.

Now, I'm pretty much addicted.

Here are 11 reasons why I decided to go all in 👇

1/ Incentives

Web2:
1) Growth Stage: Platforms ❤️ Users
2) Post IPO: Platforms 💔 Users

Decentralized protocols give all network participants upside through tokens.

Protocols serve the community; platforms serve the shareholders.

Web3 aligns incentives.

(h/t @cdixon)
2/ Portability

- Web2 users don't own their data, they rent profile pages from platforms (hard for users to leave)

- Web3 keeps data & infrastructure separate which enables data portability

- Data Permanence & Immutability

Quick explaination 👇 Image
1/ Just like countries, blockchains have a purpose, structure, and rules.

Each blockchain (i.e. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana) has its own advantages & disadvantages.

Some blockchains do certain tasks faster and cheaper than others.
2/ Blockchains can't communicate with each other and are siloed off.

For example, if I hold btc, I can't use it on a protocol that runs on the Ethereum blockchain.

We need a medium to move back and forth between chains (interoperability).

From a single blog post covering Axie Infinity, @packyM was able to raise $45,782 (9.56 eth) on Mirror.

Web2 was for the platforms. Web3 is for the creators.

@ArweaveTeam & @viamirror make it possible to own and monetize your content.

Let's see how 👇
1/ Heads up, this thread is long!

After doing some research, it made most sense for me to discuss Arweave & Mirror together.

I decided to dive deeper after I saw @cdixon moved his threads over to Mirror.

2/ Last week, I wrote a thread covering Variant Fund's thesis.

Tldr: Web3 provides a paradigm shift in how we think about the passion economy.
