.@helium, often cited as one of the best examples of a Web3 use case, has received $365M of investment led by @a16z. Regular folks have also been convinced to spend $250M buying hotspot nodes, in hopes of earning passive income. The result? Helium's total revenue is $6.5k/month

Yesterday @packyM was asked to explain a Web3 use case. I clipped this gem from 8:40 of @loganbartlett's latest @cartoonavatars podcast episode with co-host @zachweinberg. Highly recommended...

Gaza has had approximately same rate of malnutrition deaths as the United States. I never want to hear about a Gaza famine again (@paulg). I don’t like being gaslighted. Condolences to people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis and cancer in both regions, but no more photos please.
