A THREAD on some of the most insightful thoughts on crypto, NFT, metaverse, memes, digitization++ by @punk6529:

The Metaverse will actually happen this decade.

If it is open, human innovation will flourish.

If it is closed, we are digital serfs of sorts. 2/

Our world is becoming progressively digital.

It is critically important that this world, the coming metaverse, is open and free and interoperable.

A THREAD on key actionable insights from the book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker:

“I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me.”

Touch your head and say… “I have a millionaire mind!” 2/

If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots.

If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

A THREAD on timeless ideas by Martin Heidegger:

1/

Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are. 2/

'What was Aristotle’s life?’

Well, the answer lay in a single sentence: ‘He was born, he thought, he died.’

And all the rest is pure anecdote.

A THREAD on most thought provoking ideas by Milton Friedman:

1/

A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. 2/

Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

A THREAD on timeless insightful ideas by Marcus Aurelius:

1/

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. 2/

The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.

A THREAD on key ideas from the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol Dweck:

1/

Mindsets are just beliefs.

They’re powerful beliefs, but they’re just something in your mind, and you can change your mind. 2/

When you enter a mindset, you enter a new world.

In one world of fixed traits, success is about proving you're smart or talented. Validating yourself.

In the other--the world of changing qualities--it's about stretching yourself to learn something new. Developing yourself.

A THREAD on key ideas from the book "The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results" by Gary Keller:

1/

Don’t let small thinking cut your life down to size.

Think big, aim high, act bold. 2/

Thinking big is essential to extraordinary results.

Success requires action, and action requires thought.

But here’s the catch—the only actions that become springboards to succeeding big are those informed by big thinking to begin with.

A THREAD on most insightful mental models from the book "The Almanack of @naval" by @EricJorgenson:

1/

Wealth creation is an evolutionarily recent positive-sum game.

Status is an old zero-sum game. We’ve been playing it since monkey tribes. It’s hierarchical. 2/

If you want to make the maximum amount of money possible, if you want to get rich over your life in a deterministically predictable way, stay on the bleeding edge of trends and study technology, design, and art—become really good at something.

A THREAD on most thought provoking tweets on NFTs, DAOs, decentralization++ by @jbrukh:

1/

NFT volume (GMV) will probably eat the art world in the next few years.

It’s almost laughably inevitable.

The art world globally transacted about $50B in 2020.

NFTs did $3B in August. 2/

Most people parse NFTs as digital art and collectibles.

But the most exciting view of them is financial technology for uniquely valued goods.

First we solve the #NFTLiquidityProblem, then we build DeFi 2.0.

A THREAD on most insightful tweets on DAOs, web3, NFT++ by @ianIDEO:

1/

DAOs are a tech, financial, organizational, governance, process, legal & social innovation wrapped in one. 2/

The degree of disruption DAOs is already having on the future of work, organizations, venture, capital, social networks is mind bending.

2023 is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.

- Ethereum
- Other L1's

Crypto is growing up.

1/

Culture drives adoption in a way that finance never will.

NFTs are the funnel.

DeFi is the backbone.

DAOs are the future.

Allocate time to mastering them all. 2/

Learning crypto is like learning a new language.

Incredibly difficult to start, but once it clicks it will stick with you forever.

A THREAD on most thought provoking tweets on ownership economy, Web 3, DAOs, NFTs++ shared by @jessewldn:

1/

The internet built Wikipedia, with no economic incentive.

Don't underestimate what the internet can build as DAOs. 2/

The Ownership Economy is here.

Last summer, it happened in DeFi.

This summer, NFTs took it mainstream.

Now ownership is beginning to be a keystone of all consumer internet products and services.

A THREAD on most insightful ideas on crypto by @cburniske:

1/

Everything #TradFi can do, #DeFi can do better.

And for everything #TradFi can’t do, #DeFi can. 2/

Crypto is a space that allows everyone to be an early-stage investor, thereby de-emphasizing the importance of VCs (variety of ways to get the startup capital you need).

A THREAD on most thought provoking insights on crypto by @balajis:

1/

Crypto is just another asset class = the internet is just another TV channel.

It’s more than an asset class because it transforms the custody, trading, issuance, governance, and programmability... ...of anything scarce. It’s a new financial system.

The three epochs of the Internet:

1. Web

2. Mobile
