Been trying to solve a puzzle created by @nicksdjohnson on twitter and got these 'side effects' in the process. MidJourney is awesome
There has never been a better time to build 🛠️

Composability is the single most exciting aspect of the blockchain for me. Building a web2 startup often involves using various free & paid APIs, having to rely on them and still not getting everything you need. This is something I was going through for the last decade and it sucks. Getting into web3 opens so many doors and you realize you don't need to ask anyone's permission to use their data or even integrate their service on your frontend. This fact on its own increases the potential for new startups exponentially. It not only helps builders with a variety of choice but also products can evolve much faster. What if we all could build on top of what Facebook or Google has without asking permission? Truth is, we don't need to wonder, we can already do that on Lens.

There's someone getting into crypto just right now and starting to build a new startup. Ser if you are reading this, this is the best time to build. Upwards only (this won't age well, will it?)
You can fight any bear market, just continue building. Might be a bit harder to do if your anti-bear bullets (funds) sit in FTX tho 👀

Quite happy that I managed to get a #98888 on Lens. Looks pretty good and I can brag about being in the first 100k when it all explodes. Thanks for the invitation @stani.lens
Transitioning DappRadar from being a centralized entity to a community-owned one is by far the most exciting and complex challenge in my life. Can't wait to share new developments 😍
Experiencing a learning curve at Lenster by accidentally mirroring my own post 2 times
Quite a few trad gaming studios are working on games with late-game web3 elements. Meaning you start playing a fun web2 game that eventually leads you to real in-game item ownership as you progress and accumulate value to your account. No forced web3 onboarding, no blockchain or NFTs mentioned, rather explaining the benefit of owning your items. So you are only really introduced to the blockchain when you actually want to (trade items). This should eventually change the gamers' perception of NFTs and see the real value they can provide to gaming. As for somebody who spent countless hours on Steam marketplace and black markets for in-game assets, this is a very pleasant development to see.
