The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

This is a great article by AB on why games take so long. Most of the things he talks about apply to a lot of industries. Times have changed, deadlines are not the same as before, and that is better because it means better products to be created.

1/ Been thinking a lot about the relationship between web2 and web3. Feels a lot like the first vs. second industrial revolutions. The second industrial revolution wasn't successful because it rejected the first. It was a force multiplier on stacked *on top* of the firstRaise your hand if you like both Web2 and Web3Matt Huang @matthuang
Web2 was needed before Web3 could exist. It is not fair to just hate and despise it, and it won’t go away. But with the natural progression of Web2 companies, Web3 is needed more than ever to solve the problems that were created.

Most people get rich through new forms of innovation that everyone dismissed when it was small. This could be good to get your eyes on some good things coming. The ten listed are: AI, AR, VR, 3D printing, IoT, Robotics, Quantum Computing, Gene Editing, Materials Science and Blockchain Technology.

This is a thread but this tweet stands out. Write things down. It is great to organise your thoughts and the easiest way to share content.

Never marry a bag no matter how great you think the tech is. Take a years long vacation after you sold. Contagion risk can be bigger than you think. Don’t participate in the down bad shit flinging there is no EV in arguing with others. https://t.co/tBQ7S7dHhCWhat did you learn this bear market?RookieXBT 🧲 @RookieXBT
“Never marry a bag no matter how great you think the tech is.” If you are trying to make money on markets, don’t let you emotions control you.

Underestimating AI will be worse than overestimating AI. I don’t say this to spread fear, but rather to allow you to think about how you can capitalise on the future AI may lead to that you don’t think is possible.
1 good quote
An obsession with making everything perfect results in nothing being created. My altered version: “Done is better than aiming for perfection without completion”!
1 piece of advice from me
The 1% rule of social media says 99% are lurkers whilst the other 1% create content. If you are in the 99%, I encourage you to create some content this year. Even if you have no end goal, it allows you to grow your brand, brand = distribution. Distribution will always be important.
