as Head of Business Development.
In this role I look forward to partnering across the industry to develop the most joyful products and experiences in the world for our holders. 🧵
-97%
During the video game crash, sales dropped 97% from $3.2 billion in 1982 to $100 million by 1985.
Developers who saw a goldmine with the success of Atari in the late 70s rushed in to make a quick buck, quickly over saturating the market with terrible quality consoles and…
With over $100 billion in lifetime revenue, Pokemon is the most successful media franchise of all time.
Its merch sales alone ($60B) are DOUBLE the size of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But did you know it almost didn't get made?
Inspired by the ability to connect and…
Coinbase NFT was supposed to bring NFTs to the mainstream.
With a $600M budget and over 2M waitlist applications it seemed destined to become the marketplace.
Instead it's a ghost town with less volume all time than GameStop has done in 24 hours?
So why did it fail? 🧵

Seeing the recent Chris Brown and Kevin Hart flops has me wondering who are these celebrities getting advice from?
Who has done Web3 advisory really well that we should be championing right now?

You are seeing a community rally behind a team that keeps working to find product market fit.
I'll always root for creative-led teams whose artists are still leading the charge.
Just the beginning.
The prevailing narrative is Spotify does not pay artists.
But is that really true?
The answer is a bit more complicated. Let’s follow the money and break down some common misconceptions. 🧵
