BigTech Layoffs Facebook: 11,000 (13%) Amazon: 18,000 (6% corp) Microsoft: 10,000 (5%) Google: 12,000 (6.5%) With Google announcing layoffs several hours ago, every major BigTech company has had layoffs except Apple. If you’ve been affected, stay strong. 1/3

Highlighting the recent layoffs in big tech again. One thing I saw that I am excited about is the number of startups that will be created during this time from these talented people.

Highest-grossing IP in history—curious what's not on this list that will be in 10 years 1. Pokemon $110B 2. Hello Kitty $89B 3. Mickey Mouse $83B 4. Winnie the Pooh $81B 5. Star Wars $70B 6. Mario $48B 7. Disney Princess $46B 8. Anpanman $45B 9. Marvel $38B 10. Harry Potter $33B

Never realised how big some of these IPs are. Built through different mediums, monetized through different ways — all based on a story. Storytelling will always be an art, no matter how far in the future we go.

My advice is simple: Find out what you want to do, then spend a long time — ideally with a group of really brilliant people — figuring out how best to do it.

It will be hard to find this group of people. And it’s crucial you do find them. But this is great advice. My tip would be to interact with like-minded individuals first and try to associate with more people before starting anything.

Very very few people understand metaverse/AR/VR tokens/coins/companies. Very few. 99% of people don't even know what APE coin is. Much less Illuvium, Treeverse, Big Time and so many others. Games WILL do 100-1000xs from their bottoms. Be one of the few that gets it. Be early

Disclaimer: Treeverse was founded by me. But I want to highlight this tweet as I believe the same thing. Pay attention if you want. The potential of blockchain games shouldn’t be dismissed.

It’s completely fine for your long-term thesis to change based on any new information presented to you. Same with your plan. Always remain open to change.
