🐦 Twitter Threads Worth Reading

1/12 I figured it would be an excellent moment to do a kind of @blitmap recap to bring people up to speed. The thread is long because, in the Web 3.0 dimension, 1 day=1000 years. It's also like 1/100th of what has happened since we launched, but I figure it's better than nothing

In the 90s, the avg athlete/musician would start a steakhouse/bar after retiring and go broke in a few years In the future passion economy, their fans will connect to them through NFTs + social tokens, and crossover creativity and productivity will flourish

NFT membership cards are going to gobble up social tokens. Why? - Cards can be tiered and distributed as a community grows organically - Cards create a better UX. They're clean and simple, while ERC-20s make you feel like you’re being nickled and dimed.

7 steps to transition to web3, for non-technical folks. It can be daunting to make a career shift to web3, especially for those who don’t code. There are new roles that don’t exist in other industries, and recruiting seems informal and network-based. A mini-guide 🧵

the OG music NFT thesis similar to early cryptoartists (@XCOPYART, @Coldie, @muratpak, etc), the earliest successful pioneers of music will go down as category defining their pieces will ultimately be coveted & valued as historically significant

👹 Savage of the Week

There’s no better candidate for savage of the week than the market itself. Most cryptocurrencies saw big drops this week. While Bitcoin fell 11.2% from $47,400 to $42,000 in the last week, Ethereum sunk 17.2% from $3,825 to $3,169. If you are in it for the long term, this might not bother you. Or maybe you spent the last week contemplating your illiquid jpegs. One way or another, we cope, so may the force be with you.
