This has been a core value of deso.org from day zero
It will be the chain that devs choose up-front because they don't have to learn or do *anything* new compared to building in web2
The Stripe of the layer-1s
This is how you get the next Zuck into web3
Just launched @BlockchangeVC. Who wants to be first to follow us? Looking at you @cameron @tyler @CamiRusso @APompliano @Melt_Dem @katyperry @janehk

the oil and gas industry receives $20B in direct subsidies from the US government and billions in tax incentives, and has caused trillions in environmental damage which taxpayers have had to bear
yet our leaders in DC parrot sustainability and ESG
this narrative is broken
The next big category in blockchain
After over two years of all-consuming research and development, I'm excited to finally publicly reveal what I've been working on.
It's called DeSo, short for "decentralized social," and I believe it can fundamentally change social media for the better.
deso.org
In the beginning there was DeFi and NFTs. What's next? Decentralized Social (DeSo). Congrats to @nadertheory for being their first and raising $200 million to see it through. @a16z @sequoia @alexisohanian @cameron @tyler @DistributedG

Braintrust is one of the few companies who are already successfully using the Blockchain to trailblaze an entirely new category of business. I believe we will hear a lot more about them. Congrats to @gabelunao @adamjacksonsf @coinbase for this significant milestone.
It's official: $BTRST is now on @coinbase!
Our mission: to spread economic opportunity more equitably around the world. And with this milestone, we're building trust with the global community in building a fair and equitable future of work. #ownit

Big news. Facebook ready to launch its digital wallet, Novi. Whether or not this works, it's likely a monumental advance for the industry. This may be the first wallet with world class UX. Now everyone will know what great looks like. @davidmarcus
We believe user owned networks will be one of the most important advances enabled by the blockchain and that Braintrust is one of the best examples. Congratulations to Braintrust on the imminent launch. @adamjacksonsf theinformation.com/articles/…
This is a great thread that has significant implications not just to how web3 (or blockchain will evolve) but it sets the stage for why extraordinary moats from network effects will be destroyed, in some cases, seemingly overnight.
When media met the internet, social media emerged and reinvented media. Now that finance is meeting the blockchain, the result will be the same and the disruption will be faster. Time to focus on the unstoppable force of social finance and decentralized finance. @APompliano
