“Content Is Technology” A bold statement. But is it true? Well, what is content? What is Technology? Let's unpack this a bit. 🧶👇🏾 According to Webster - actually, I don't like their definition. Here's mine. CONTENT: The tangible manifestation of the previously intangible. Thoughts, ideas, feelings. TECHNOLOGY: Leveraging knowledge or innovations as a tool. Today, content is used to: ✅ Build brand awareness ✅ Gain exposure as a thought leader ✅ Create authority & visibility as a new business What was the OG content, though? 🎶 MUSIC. In today's era of samples, DAWs, streaming, NFTs, AI & more, its crucial we asses the trajectory of music (& content more broadly) as technology. Today’s guest Brandon Tory is uniquely suited to tackle such task. ✅ Former Sr Engineer at Google ✅Active recording artist Brandon & his team are architecting the future of content distribution with Share, an EVM compatible protocol built by FORMLESS, one of the few members of a16z's inaugural Crypto Startup School cohort. (alongside @bellosights.lens 🫡) In today's episode we discuss... 📦 The history of music distribution as leverage for labels & PROs 🪙 How micropayments allow more artists to pursue their craft 🤝🏾 Partnering with industry veteran Dallas Austin 🧠 Unlearning lessons from Google ✍🏾 Authoring a coding book for kids Lots of gems in this one. If you're unfamiliar with or have yet to explore "pay for access" in regards to music or content yet - SHARE is a must. Catch the FULL episode below 👇🏾 https://t.co/dwbuqzZEIA

I recently sat down with product lead Mark Hendrickson to discuss the Magic Eden partnership, the burgeoning Bitcoin app ecosystem & more. Here's a short clip from our chat.

Bitcoin FOMO is real. Be mindful of NARRATIVES vs real world CATALYSTS. Will BTC hit nullM this year? No clue. Is the banking system as we know it fucked? 1,000% I'm all for the Web3 wave, but been talking bout this unraveling for years... Circa: 2021 👇🏾
Current AI tools like ChatGPT are a MASSIVE privacy risk. 🚩 Why? Because they need to consume, store & process as much data as computationally viable to work their "magic". 🪄 Given the power & convenience of these tools, nobody seems to be too alarmed by this ATM.

There's a storm brewing that could be more devastating than FTX. ☣️ The NFT Apocalypse. TLDR - most NFTs will disappear by 2027. Why? ⛓️ Because they're not on chain. 🪐 Because they're not pinned to IPFS. 💻 Because they're stored on private servers. Don't take my word for it. Listen to Jason Bailey (AKA Artnome), co-founder & CEO of ClubNFT & his team of data scientists. He stopped by recently to talk about this issue & what he's doing to fix it.

Also, love how involved @stani.lens is here. Actually shocking.
GD everyone! (Great Day > good morning IMHO) Just a heads up that I do a ton of interviews with founders across the space, so don't be alarmed by my interview-related posts + links. I am NOT a bot!
The "Metaverse" is not a single place, but more a network of interoperable data & content standards that's owned & governed by the users. HOWEVER, some players are well positioned to create worlds immersive & engaged enough to attract users at scale. Other than Yuga Labs + Fluf World/Futureverse, the My Pet Hooligan & Aku World teams come to mind. (DYOR) While easy to see the front facing progress on this front, its rare to get a glimpse at whats running under the hood to know where things are heading. Accordingly, I'll be interviewing more folks who can provide this valuable vantage for us. Today's guest is in that spirit. As head of BizDev at Horizen Labs, today's guest is one of the rare individuals privy to much of the behind the scenes work at Yuga Labs, helping build & desing APE coin & its native staking protocol. Enjoy this exclusive interview with Rohan Handa. https://tinyurl.com/kc2vrutd
