Last year I made the tough decision to halt development on our first game, Everseed. Though it was an addictingly fun game to play, its growth and monetization metrics weren't strong enough. At the time, I went "founder mode" as everyone on the team disagreed with our pivot to
The more games shut down, the better it is for those that survive. One of the reasons that Axie took off, is that attention and capital could focus on it as we had mostly killed our competitors from 2018-> 2020. We need the loser to die, so the winners can win. RIP Moonfrost.

if founders are not gods or messiahs, then they shouldn’t pretend or present themselves like they are. big reason why crypto is in the mess we’re in right now is because immature, ignorant, or (even worse) insidious founders do nothing to temper community overexpectations so
founders are not gods or messiahs - they are just other humans with a slightly higher tolerance for uncertainty and pain. humans are fallible. sometimes they crush and other times not so much. the biggest mistake i see ppl make on here is holding these (human) ppl to

I subscribed earlier this year to receive the new Coinbase One Card and earn 4% BTC back on each purchase. It's become my main CC now, replacing my Chase Sapphire Reserve, and the physical card quality is absolutely exceptional. Highly recommend signing up next week when

I know no one wants to hear bullish ideas and everyone is scared and wants to fling poo at each other... but the Road to Valhalla is getting very close. If global liquidity is the single most dominant macro factor then we MUST focus on that. REMEMBER - THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN IS

The only real way to break crypto's currently systemic ADHD myopia is to wait for the snake to finish eating its own tail. This is already starting to play out with the bull-market-we-never-wanted already descending into a bearish crypto winter. When every trigger-happy

nov 17 = youtube bans crypto gaming nov 19 = @YGGPlaySummit starts gaming has finally hit rock bottom, but soon it'll be up only personally we couldn't be more bullish on the few teams (like us) who've survived up until now with no competition left, our odds for success are
YouTube is BANNING CRYPTO & NFTs starting November 17 But not fully. Youtube just changed its rules, and it’s going to DIRECTLY impact blockchain, NFT, and web3 gaming content across Youtube and Google YouTube now classifies “online gambling with digital goods that have

Lately I’ve noticed online content become especially more shit across the board I turned off push notifs for all social media, and uninstalled many from my phone As AI’s sloppy proliferation continues, this will seed fertile ground for new disruptive forms of entertainment
This is the greatest flippening of all time. Artificial language models have surpassed biological language models in terms of content generated.

Coinbase’s Base token could be worth as much as $34 billion, JPMorgan says

JPMorgan see Coinbase’s Base network growth and upcoming token exploration as a shift toward deeper onchain monetization.

Crypto by itself wouldn’t have prevented the CS:GO rugpull. But that misses the point. Games & studios who build their early community with crypto users, whether they like it or not, have to keep them happy in order to continue to exist. Valve doesn’t need speculators in
@frankdegods Wouldn’t really fix anything. This would be comparable to devs of a web3 game minting a new wave of NFTs that undermine an existing collection, or a chain passing a vote to increase supply. Ownership in CS is fine enough with CSFloat and APIs.

#1 builder lesson i've learned = timing is everything in crypto many think timing is based on luck, but there's actually skill involved too in crypto, if you're not first, you're last so prepping for new opportunities early before they become consensus is key the issue though

I forgot how much I missed Autumn, my favorite season. Grew up in NY/NJ, but spent 13 years in California. Just moved this year to PNW, and it’s peak foliage atm. Fall is beautiful because its defiant explosion of colors before winter reminds us to celebrate life’s fleeting

Big bang TGEs are dead The new playbook: Wait until there’s adoption, or launch small and accrue value over time I analyzed TGEs from the past 18 months for our Safary Certification program, comparing launch mindshare to token performance today Almost every hyped TGE cratered
