Starting now, @magdalenakala on best practices in engaging with fans through web3. Ten bullet points! I'll be hitting the highlights here. #consensus23#web3.
First bullet - Not all fans are customers! Not everyone who loves your product or service is going to actually buy it, but they still have value.
Point 3, and huge - Web3 is not a revenue stream, it's a bonus/engagement driver. #consensus23@magdalenakala
Point 5 - A lot of creator economy startups fail because creators and fan agendas aren't aligned. Fans want more interaction, more contact, while, says @magdalenakala, creators often want less of that time-draining engagement. #Consensus2023
Orange Comet CEO cites experience producing shows like the Biggest Loser and interest in getting Hollywood onto Web3.
Shatner on an earlier NFT - they took a picture of a tooth they extracted from him in Montreal. "It sold out right away and it was very successful." #Consensus2023

Now at #consensus2023: M. Casey with Kaitlin Long, Erik Voorhees, and Neha Narula dito discuss: Crypto's True Purpose
@ErikVoorhees says he "fired himself" as CEO of ShapeShift last year, and at the risk of over-editorializing, my man is looking great. Moisturized, t-shirted, unshaven, thriving
"In a market capitalist system, you should have a money that is of the market, not of the government." - Voorhees
Shonnenshein kicks off with the crucial point: GBTC was designed and always intended to be an ETF. When the application for the ETF was denied last year, he says, their only option was to sue the SEC.
The foudnation of the suit, he says, is the Administrative Procedures Act, which dictates that equal things should be treated equally - making the approval of multiple BTC futures ETFs a mark against the SEC's denial of GBTC's conversion.
