  5. Web3 will change sports (and life) forever??

    22/07/2022

    Web3 will change sports (and life) forever??

    Last week, I outed myself as a web3 doubter. This week, I'm pushing myself to consider whether I might be...wrong. But first: If you check this video on YouTube you'll see that I'm wearing some very gorgeous dainty gold jewelry. It's sweat-proof, which is exactly what I need when I'm talking about cr*pto. It's from OXB—feast your eyes on their beautiful selection here: https://bit.ly/3PkZIkd Now to the episode: I'm hanging out with Kirby Porter, the founder of New Game Labs and W3 Sports and a former Harvard basketball player. She explains her thesis on the nexus of web3 and sports, namely how athletes navigating new rules around monetizing their careers can leverage web3 tech. The best part of this interview, though, is that it's about more than just people who play sports. It's about all of us. Listen, learn, think about how you squandered your hoop dreams. Lots to be absorbed with this one!! Also Kirby is genuinely one of the coolest, smartest people I know. Enjoy!!! 00:32 meet Kirby 3:20 NIL changes & impacts 05:28 the athlete as a brand 08:18 why web3 for athletes? 15:31 fine let's talk about NFTs 18:32 the risks of web3 23:06 the future of web3 LINK TIIIIIMMMMEEEE Follow Kirby: https://twitter.com/KirbyPorter_ Kirby mentioned Li Jin, whom you can follow here: https://twitter.com/ljin18 SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER: https://kinsey.beehiiv.com/subscribe FOLLOW ME ON TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@kinsey_grant FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kinseyrgrant/

  6. What if web3 *isn't* the future of everything?

    15/07/2022

    What if web3 *isn't* the future of everything?

    It's just like my grandpa used to tell me: "If the Twitter bros can't shut up about how much money they're making within the blurry paradigm of a so-called technological revolution, there's probably not much going on there." Today, let's consider the possible reality that web3, the so-called technological revolution du jour, isn't what its evangelists say it is. What if web3 is just a masterclass in over-promise, under-deliver hype tactics? We consider the answer with Ryan Broderick, writer of the Garbage Day newsletter about web culture and host of The Content Mines podcast. Think we're wrong about where web3 is going? You know where the comments section is. Like my jewelry in that intro bit? It's sweat-proof, which is exactly what I need with a thumbnail that says "web3's flop era." It's from OXB—feast your eyes on their gorge selection here: https://bit.ly/3PkZIkd 00:22 hello Ryan :) 01:42 web3 is not the future 04:41 dissecting the "web3 bro" 07:24 the web3 hype train 12:21 barriers to entry 15:32 actual web3 use cases 22:11 "political leviathans" 26:23 web3 as a political tool 32:03 the future of web3 LINK TIME!! Follow Ryan: https://twitter.com/broderick Subscribe to Garbage Day: https://www.garbageday.email/ I flexed on 'em with a mention of the Gartner Hype Cycle, here's what that is: https://www.gartner.com/en/research/m...

  7. What we get wrong about immigration

    What we get wrong about immigration

    Turns out the pro-immigration and anti-immigration people *do* have one thing in common: neither group has fully considered the biggest element of coming to America—cost. On average, it costs as much as $11,000 to gain full citizenship to the U.S., including green card, application for citizenship, legal fees and payments for processors. So what's to be done? Enter: One Percent for America, a community of lenders, borrowers, and supporters helping to defray the costs of citizenship slowly but surely. Come for the cool insight into a cool mission...stay for the epiphany I have around the 20-minute mark. 00:10 hello Jaime 1:10 what we're missing in the immigration conversation? cost 4:35 why America? (yes we talk politics) 9:09 America vs. the world 10:23 who gets the money? 15:14 the risks of OPFA 17:37 immigration in a time of tragedy 21:42 the future of immigration & OPFA Learn more about One Percent For America here: https://www.onepercentforamerica.org/ And while you're at it...
