currently reading Read Write Own by @cdixon ✨ on a mission to read more this year 📚 any book recommendations? 👇
@cosmoscharf @cdixon Was giving out a bunch of them to startup founders at Yale. Very good read.
I have to continue taking more breaks from screens. I've been spending more time reading physical books, and listening to audiobooks while I'm out on hikes. Just finished "Web3 Marketing" x @amandacassatt Next up is "Read Write Own" x @cdixon #Web3 #Crypto #PersonalGrowth
a good read ;) thank you @cdixon @avichal @ElectricCapital

Memecoins don't entertain me, but the responses to this did. To be clear, everybody should be free to use their money and time as they see fit. We all have different values, priorities, and interests. My aversion to memecoins is not rooted jealousy, or even about money at all.…
Memecoins are frivolous and juvenile, I don't find them entertaining, and I do not think they are going to push this industry forward
