- Real conversation I had at ETHDenver Me: “We’re Cabin, a DAO building a decentralized city. Our first node is a 28 acre property outside of Austin, TX where we host retreats and residencies.” Cryptobro: “wait, so which metaverse is this in?”
- 95% of NFTs are money grabs, jokes, and experiments that will collectively be worth $0. The other 5% will create a composable layer of ownership that shapes the future.
- the biggest gap in web3 is what made web2 work: communication - there’s no native messaging for blockchain addresses - DAOs grudgingly use discord - our social graph lives on twitter - it’s hard to retain users without email addresses web3 will struggle until we solve this
- If you’re over 30 and don’t get why all the kids are talking about web3: - set up an ETH address (just google it) - reply with it here - we’ll airdrop your first crypto $BOOMER tokensReplying to @flexxchapman and @0xZakkOK this is no longer a joke, we’re minting this in NYC next week I nominate @David_Hillis and @onecaseman for airdrops
- Replying to @tlbtlbtlbFeels like there’s an elaborate joke in here about the survivorship bias of fake data, which is inherently more viral than real data
- If you are young and ambitious, join a DAO Actually…research 20 DAOs, join 5 DAOs, and then pick 1-2 that deeply resonate and contribute to them No other path will allow someone, regardless of background, to convert effective proof of work into career opportunities faster
- Replying to @sferikit's really the Four Seasons Total Landscaping shirt that ties this tweet together
- for anyone who thinks DAOs were just a fad: prepare yourself to be surprised over the next 18 months as composable web3 social legos start rapidly coming together and enabling auto-magical coordination, identity, and reputation I'm getting an early glimpse and its beautiful
- the masculine urge to crowdfund a 40-acre property in Maine with 21 buildings (including a restored 1825 church) and turn it into a modern village for families and friends
- DAOs are divergent: good for exploring edges, trying new things, iteratively innovating Companies are convergent: good for executing on a specific, well-defined task The most successful DAOs will be composable networks of DAOs and companies, structured like economies
- The first prototypes of the @creatorcabins passport card Embedded with a chip that holds the private key to unlock IRL experiences and spaces at Cabin:
- just picked up our first @DeGodsNFT via Mint Club after meeting @frankdegods this week, I am bullish on his commitment to building a world-class internet native community
Replying to @frankdegodsAlso ended up spending hours talking with @WillPapper, @JonathanHillis, @fifthworldzach, and @joey_debruin. One of my favorite conversations of the year. There are still so many smart people in this ecosystem still here and creating incredible things.
