I reviewed @HermanNarula’s book, Virtual Society, where he explores the historical & philosophical origins of the metaverse & envisions an interoperable future. When the metaverse emerges, digitally-native value will develop & permeate into the real world

The maintenance and advancement of open-source software is crucial for the crypto community. To increase our support of public goods in web3, @a16z crypto is committing $300,000 for open-source developers in the next round of @Gitcoin Grants (GR15). a16zcrypto.com/supporting-pu…

We support another thoughtful and bipartisan crypto bill. The bill introduced by @SenatorSinema & @SenToomey is an excellent example of forward thinking crypto legislation, which is critical to keeping the U.S. as the hub of innovation and web3 leadership.
We applaud the bipartisan leadership of @SenToomey and @SenatorSinema.
With 1 in 5 Americans holding or using crypto, greater regulatory clarity will support the industry's next stage of growth.
