assume a16z keeps 10% of companies and wants to 3x a $4.5B fund.
— david phelps (๐ฎ,๐ฎ)(๐,๐) (@divine_economy) May 25, 2022
that means the market cap of the portfolio will need to get to $135B (4.5B*3/.1).
that's 8.5 solanas ($16B market cap), 8 coinbases ($18B), or 135 arweaves ($1B).
i'm thrilled about the money pouring into this ecosystem, though as someone struggling to raise grants, i wish *some* portion of it were going to public goods.
— david phelps (๐ฎ,๐ฎ)(๐,๐) (@divine_economy) May 25, 2022
but i'm also worried what happens if more money goes in than can come back out short-term.https://t.co/yh7I9TtCNR

1/ Introducing Writing NFTshttps://t.co/1yqTvae9JT
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Introducing Writing NFTs Before Ethereum was code, it was a piece of writing. ........... At Mirror, we believe the next big idea will be collected as a Writing NFT. ........ Mirror now allows you to mint your writing as a digital collectible and set a customizable supply and price for it. Writing NFTs are completely free for writers to create, and collection happens on an Ethereum L2 — making transactions inexpensive, fast, and environmentally friendly. And, like everything published on Mirror, Writing NFTs are decentralized and censorship-resistant. .......... Adding a Writing NFT to your collection is a way of capturing these special moments and rallying behind the potential of an idea. Imagine, for instance, having proof that you were one of the first 100 people to read the Ethereum whitepaper. It not only signals that you were an early adopter or superfan, but it also binds you with other collectors of that Writing NFT.
2/ Ideas are invaluable to the web3 community.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
We drew on this sentiment to build Mirror’s most radical update yet: the Writing NFT ๐
3/ Starting today, you can:
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
๐ Create your first Writing NFT from your Dashboard
๐ Collect genesis entries curated by Mirror DAO
๐ Explore the top entries on the new leaderboard
4/ We owe so much to the vibrant community of web3 thinkers and the ideas that propel us and bind us together.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Shout out to @VitalikButerin’s Ethereum whitepaper, for starters, for catalyzing this entire movement.
5/ Writing NFTs change the way we value ideas and participate in them as a community.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
And they ensure that the next big idea in web3 won’t be a PDF, but an NFT.
6/ Did someone announce a project that you want to see brought to life?
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Did a trend forecast spark your imagination or validate your own intuition?
Is someone embarking on a research project that resonated with you?
7/ Adding a Writing NFT to your collection is a way of capturing these special moments and rallying behind the potential of an idea.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Starting today, Mirror allows you to mint your writing as a digital collectible and set a customizable supply and price.
8/ Writing NFTs are completely free for writers to create, and collection happens on an Ethereum L2—making transactions inexpensive, fast, and environmentally friendly.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Writing NFTs live on Optimism! (shoutout @optimismPBC)
9/ To coincide with the launch, some writers have already minted their work. For example, an essay by @chaserchapman is available to collect today: https://t.co/np7508ij48
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Co-ownership as a web3 social primitive A fundamental premise of web3 is ownership. But ownership isn’t just a technical or financial shift, it’s a shift in how we connect with one another. .........
10/ By popular demand, we’re also launching two new discovery surfaces: a global leaderboard and collector profile pages.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
11/ The leaderboard ranks the most popular entries based on the amount of ETH raised, and count of collectors, exposing more writers—and their most resonant ideas— to a wider audience.https://t.co/X1w0F7RH3b
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
12/ Collector profile pages allow community members to display and curate Writing NFTs they’ve amassed on Mirror.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
Here is a collection of genesis Writing NFTs curated by Mirror DAO—a great place to get started collecting!https://t.co/qN1oIWdgmM
13/ But don’t just collect; create! All you have to do is connect your wallet to Mirror and you’re ready to post, price and mint your work.
— Mirror (@viamirror) May 25, 2022
14/ If you want to own a part of Mirror history and crystallize this milestone, you can collect this announcement post as a Writing NFT: https://t.co/1yqTvae9JT

Very cool! Would love to see this taken to other realms than white papers and crypto. Would there be anything stopping someone from utilizing this protocol to set up a publishing company for instance?
— HypnoGremlin (@GremlinHypno) May 25, 2022
absolutely nothing! very excited for new usecases as more folks onboard to web3

While the proposal approval is a win for Kwon and his supporters, doubts persist about whether Terra can ultimately be revived after the implosion of its algorithmic stablecoin became one of the biggest busts in the crypto industry’s history https://t.co/BZHxOJnc9A

This is the first Twitter-powered bear VC market. Downturn took a while to trickle down from public markets to venture, but once it did, sentiment changed literally in 2-3 days. Hyper-connectivity of the ecosystem through Twitter played a disproportionate role, it seems.

If it was, we would have common sense gun reform. We would have baby formula. We would have paid leave for parents and affordable child care. We would have lawmakers actually doing something to stop the climate crisis.

Maybe in this downturn we can finally do away with headcount and capital raised as success metrics and focus on what actually matters: revenue, margin, & market impact.#startups #vc

Firearms killed more children and adolescents in 2020 than car accidents, which had long been the leading cause of death for youngsters, a Washington Post analysis has found. https://t.co/wBsj9pbjlu

Two pillars of reproductive justice include the right not to have children, and the ability to raise children in a safe environment. The siege against abortion and the inaction against gun violence are BOTH instances of reproductive injustice.

Key learnings from DAOs DAOs have been one of my favorite spaces in crypto to spend time in. .......... There’s no perfect DAO structure and each one has its own culture so what works for one DAO won’t necessarily work for another.
Publishing on crypto Why is it that I can send anyone with an Internet connection and smart phone a photograph freely and instantly, but sending the same person money is hindered by seemingly arbitrary constraints, like geography or days of the week? ......... Sharing information is Internet-native—defined by interoperable protocols and file formats, encoded as bits that can be sent independently between any two nodes in the network. Sharing value, on the other hand, has relied on pre-Internet financial and monetary infrastructure that inherited all the political and technological limitations of those underlying systems. ......
Crypto's innovation is infusing value exchange with all the desirable attributes of a digitally-native information medium—programmability, interoperability, composability, virality, transferability.
.......... Crypto protocols therefore blur the line between information and value. They encode value as information, and, consequently, information as value. Crypto turns media into financial assets, and as well as financial assets into media. ........ With crypto, sending five dollars to a relative across the globe is finally as easy as sending them a family photo.Ukraine Can Be The First Blockchain War https://t.co/31Uu2PniFX @privatezod @nicolo @CollinPixley @arboraeth @kethcode @nonefungible @iqbal_syamil @AriannaSimpson @epolynya @OlimpioCrypto @DanHuntFCD @0xstark @joey_debruin @omarzipan @MonolithBrah @m1guelpf @avc @SpaceXponential
