Some cryptocurrency projects will dedicate literally hundreds of millions of dollars to creating a hit "blockchain" game. I'm pretty pleased that the Tezos ecosystem has managed to ingratiate the technology with two leading gaming companies,

Fairly confident they’ll continue this exploration in NFTs within mainstream gaming.
Inevitable really. Right?

It's profoundly humbling to see how many talented people Tezos managed to attract over the past four and a half years. With the betanet launch, I look forward to meeting even more incredible people and growing the community.
The first smart-contract in Tezos is a guest book for some of the people who went above and beyond in their contribution to this project. We thank everyone who participated!
I've mentioned a plan for the Tezos network to scale to 1 million transactions per second in a few interviews recently. Here's more color on how that will come to pass:
“The Athens activation demonstrates that cryptocurrencies do not have to choose between being stuck with early technological choices or protecting themselves against interference. Upgrades can be automated, decentralized, and self-funding.”

"[Cryptocurrencies solve] a problem that people have largely proposed hackish solutions around for centuries: moving value across the world without the use of an intermediary. I don't think it makes sense to bet against novel solutions to old problems."
1/18 Our industry has allowed “smug nerds building castles in the sky” to proliferate. We need to recognize this archetype earlier in the scam cycle. Some thoughts:
It seems like the many people are doing the responsible thing and canceling or postponing large events.
If you're on the fence about it: I postponed something I spent months and months planning and felt an instant, intense sense of relief that I wouldn't be doing harm.

that we aim to end deforestation by 2030, I’m co-founding the Cambridge Centre for Carbon Credits to help make this reality by building a trusted marketplace to verify and fund nature-based solutions
Four years ago at Founders Forum in London, I overheard the guy in front of me say, "I'll pay a hundred quid to the first person who explains a blockchain to me in a way I could understand." We proceeded to spend the whole afternoon talking cryptocurrencies and gaming.
"Kathleen Breitman, co-founder of the cryptocurrency Tezos, said collectors who buy a painting could start asking its artist or gallery for the work’s “digital twin” that can be added to the blockchain."
At least one L1 project will try to replicate the liquidity baking proposal in Granada within the next year.
Like with most Tezos innovations (formal governance, staking, rollups), it'll take a beat for everyone else to see its brilliance :-)
I've spent most of this week engaging with avid

It's great to be happy with Tezos now, but it felt awfully lonely as we were careening through our savings to keep a project afloat while some unscrupulous asshole tried to foment agitation against us in an accomodating international news outlet

What I absolutely love about the NFT craze is that artists could not care less about what is promised by figureheads in the future and resent being solicited as tools to promote a token.
