Welcome to our December Issue,
we don’t want to end the year being negative-nellies, so let’s get this out of the system right away:
Let’s be honest, we’ve had better years than 2022, so it won’t be missed much, huh?
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s focus on one of the most important things: gratitude.
Huge thank you to all of our delegators, followers, fellow validators, core devs, community workers, builders, and last but definitely not least, you (yes, you!), our lovely subscribers. Thank you for all your hard work, support, and interest in this space despite all the FUD out there.
We highly appreciate your support and are looking forward to keep co-creating the future of the internet with y’all on our side.
2022 has been a crazy, exciting, and somewhat grounding year for the industry. We believe that this makes us stronger than ever before.
The most recent events with FTX showed just how important decentralized ledger technology is. However this realization goes beyond the boundaries of our industry: in a hyper-connected, fast-paced, increasingly complex world that pushes our current systems beyond their capacities (think of corruption, deep fakes, AI and machines coming online, failure to price in externalities, etc.) - the way we collaborate and organize ourselves is ripe for disruption.
Even though there is still an insane amount of work to be done, we’re glad that you’re with us on this journey.
Let’s build better systems that work for everyone. This is the era of stakeholder, not shareholder economies.
As a special thank you for subscribing to this newsletter, we wanted to share two videos with you first before we start posting them on social media:
What is Blockchain Technology (pt.I)?
What is Blockchain Technology (pt.II)?
Our goal behind these videos was to provide anyone with a high-level view of blockchain technology that is free from tech-lingo and constitutes an understandable, brief, and beginner-friendly resource.
With the holiday season just around the corner, this might be useful for you to share with anyone looking to get started in crypto.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on these videos - were they helpful? Did you enjoy them? How do you explain blockchain to your loved ones?
We’ll be back with our usual NL format in January, but for now:
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!
We hope that you get to enjoy some quiet time, are able to reflect a bit, and can supercharge your batteries for an exciting 2023!
We’ll end the issue with this killer 2022 recap:
