1/ Crypto still faces a massive education problem. This Fall, we've welcomed many new freshmen to @StanfordCrypto , and many have asked me how to get started. So we've put together a "Stanford Blockchain Reading List" on Crypto 101:

🧵 Biggest week in Uniswap Protocol Governance... ever? I just proposed a large-scale upgrade to the system. Specifically, I believe we should upgrade the protocol so that its fee mechanism rewards UNI token holders that have staked and delegated their tokens. 🦄

2/ nonconsensus bet - compared with AI, healthcare, robotics, crypto is still considered nonconsensus (ppl still bet against the industry). higher upside since we’re still early, by probs ~2 cycles

2/ It all starts with a EU law, which states that all durable consumer products (eg. handbags/watches) will need "Digital Product Passports," expected 2026. DPP is basically a QR-code or NFC-chip “identity card” linking to the product's supply chain info

7/ In the long-run, the successful operation of a memechain would likely be more similar to the operation of a successful NFT community, such as BAYC, Azuki, Nouns or Doodles, rather than the operation of an actual L1 or L2 chain like Ethereum, Arbitrum or Polygon.

4/ But the story doesn't just stop here. Product NFTs are far more than on-chain JSONs. They are actually a new primitive for digital luxury, acting as a digital link between the brand, the physical product, and the end consumer. So what does this look like?

@bobaepicure Its time for NFTs to be aligned with social value –– that's their unique strength anyways... capturing social value that otherwise goes to waste in the rent-seeking surplus-profiting status quo

7/ Furthermore, appchains are also a key mechanism to institutional onboarding to Web3. Enterprise chains such as Hyperledger are considered outside of Web3, but they're still appchains! It's not a stretch of imagination to add in NFTs, DeFi, bridges to Web3

It’s not necessarily greater interest, but it’s just ppl can make levered bets on liquids whereas purchases for NFTs are capped at fixed value. 37k minters > 35k holders. NFTs are for collecting not for trading. Memecoins are for trading not for collecting. Two very different

Coinbase's creator economy ad should have been about memecoins, not NFTs. "Collecting" images is not something that retail wants. Just check the chain. 37k minters on the official Coinbase Miggles NFT who paid a total of $42k in fees to mint. Meanwhile, the unofficial MIGGLES
