NFTPort sells tools in web3. I've heard people say that this is a smart approach in a volatile market, because selling shovels in a gold rush is safer than looking for gold yourself. That seems wrong. Sure, during the rush your revenue is more stable, but you still depend on that market's macro cycle. Once the
This is a talk I gave in Lisbon in October 2022, at IPFS camp. What makes it somewhat special: I generated all the illustrations for this deck using DALL-E as an experiment.

Among other topics, I brought up something I couldn't figure out: why would someone pay $200,000 [https://www.hbs.edu/mba/Pages/cost-of-attendance-class-of-2023.aspx] for something you could just
In the spirit of documenting my thought process instead of already-formed thoughts, here are my impressions from the recent DevConnect – a major week-long gathering of the web3 developer community in Amsterdam. * Many web3 companies are default-global.
