1/ Blockworks Research is a web application that will serve as the hub for all things data and analytics for crypto

You can follow the Twitter here @blockworksres

2/ Blockworks Research will be $2500/per seat.

“Permie holders get to access Blockworks Research for free” @JasonYanowitz

3/ “The best time to build something is in a bear market” @JasonYanowitz

Blockworks was founded in 2017, It’s only fitting that Blockworks Research launches this week.

4/ In 2017, you didn’t have ‘permanent capital’ line you have today.

“In 2021, $32B was raised or deployed to crypto last year…[institutions] are forced to deploy this capital…which is the biggest difference [between now and 2017].” @JasonYanowitz

5/ I was looking at the Blockworks website and there wasn’t a place for NFTs” @ohhshiny

“We are starting with a DeFi focus. Our analysts are each assigned to a specific focus.” @JasonYanowitz

(…here is my NFT product request @JasonYanowitz 😉)

6/ “I hope Permies feel like they are part of the @Blockworks_ community. We talk a lot about how we can leverage NFTs to engage [our audience].”

“Permies were our first test at how a media company can leverage NFTs” @JasonYanowitz

7/ “Because you use and own crypto, you are an investor. That’s how @Blockworks_ looks at things.”

@JasonYanowitz

8/ Definitions of the Metaverse…

“The Metaverse is decentralized native property rights…maybe we’ll get to Ready Player One…eventually” @MikeIppolito_

“I think we are already in the Metaverse…the Metaverse is an evolution of the digitization of everything” @JasonYanowitz

9/ NFTs in the Metaverse

“NFTs are a point within the Metaverse that says ‘I own something within that decentralized property rights system’...Blockworks will create value around (NFTs)” @MikeIppolito_

10/ “I see the Metaverse as a multi-verse” [composed of NFTs]

We have been working backwards by building NFTs first

@ohhshiny

11/ On DAOs…

There is a huge [amount] of capital going into DAOs

$8B are sitting in DAO treasuries, DAOs are going to begin building…[starting by] figuring out what the needs are today.” @MikeIppolito_

12/ On DAOs…

“DAOs are just a new formation of a digital-first organization…I see a huge new market emerging, BTB, BTC, BTD (Business to DAO)”@JasonYanowitz

“The single role of DAOs is to allocate capital” @zxocw @JasonYanowitz

13/ My POV: What a huge announcement, and big utility for Permies. It’s clear that NFTs will be a huge piece of the media landscape moving forward, and it’s exciting to see organizations lean hard into what matters most…the community

Congrats @JasonYanowitz @MikeIppolito_ 👏
