🌌 "Metaverse" is a huge buzzword right now, and it's hard to define now. The main reason is that it's kind of impossible. Technology is still emerging and being shaped. Plus, everyone is trying to come up with an individual definition. Matthew Ball is a person who approaches the issue from a more wide angle, and we encourage you to read the essay that covers the topic: Format | An essay 📖 Name | Framework for the Metaverse Author |Matthew Ball Why read | To understand the core characteristics of Metaverses Key insight: We should not expect a single, all-illuminating definition of the 'Metaverse'.

Is working in a DAO different than being an employee of any other Web3 company? Is it even work, or a lifestyle? Check out this tell all: Format | Article 💻 Name | 'We're Freaking DAOing It': The People Who Think DAOs Are the Future of Work Author | Jeff Wilser Why to read | To understand why working in a DAO will affect your life Key insight: DAOs are a curious blend of socialism and hyper-capitalism. Socialism, because they’re essentially “employee-owned” like a co-op.

gm! We're still at NEARCON 2022 and listened yesterday to Susie Batt, Crypto Lead at Opera. Wanted to share the main points of her speech with you and ask what you all think 👇 — There is a generation that will be crypto-native, the generation that will be born knowing everything about crypto like they now know about the internet and smartphones. There is no need to rush and call what's happening now Web3 since it'll come with that generation. — Design is a big Web3 issue that prevents a quick and smooth transition. There are basically not enough UX designers compared to engineers. — Privacy issues: trade-off between security and ease of use, so users should decide what they value more. — Privacy is a cultural thing. What is crucial in one country might be impossible or even unnecessary to have in another.
