A future Billion Dollar Crypto, the Next Harry Potter and The Value of everyday | Daily Email #1
In the first coronavirus lockdown I got into the habit of doing things everyday. Posting things, everyday. Doing this was very valuable.
To get to the point where anything you or I make is valuable enough for people to want to read it is hard. It takes a lot of practice.
Simply, I don't think I get enough practice without committing to everyday. So here we are.
Hopefully I learn a lot. And hopefully anyone who reads this will learn something too.
==============================================
CURIOUS (DESO)
Recently I have been reading about DeSo. It is a blockchain project and crypto currency designed to be used with social networks. Unlike Bitcoin or Eth which are designed more to make Decentralised finance a reality.
The idea of decentralised social media is intriguing to me. And clearly to investment firms - many of which invested many many millions into DeSo.
The "problem" with social media nowadays is that there are massive corporations making billions of pounds. Whilst those making the content for, and helping grow the platforms are getting a very minimal piece of the pie. That doesn't feel right.
DeSo looks to enable a world where the creators are rewarded more proportionally to the value they create. I am going to read the "white-paper" for deso and feedback (hopefully tomorrow) with my thoughts.
RECOMMENDATION (MISTBORN)
I first heard of this series from Ali Abdaal, a popular youtuber whose podcast I like.
He said that it replaced Harry Potter as his favourite series. Harry Potter are some of my favourite books ever also. So I thought this series my suit me. And so far it has. I've been listening to the audiobooks, thank goodness. I think trying to read this series might take a while.
The first audiobook was 25hrs long, the second 28hrs!
Now I don't know about you but I'm not sure I can commit that much time to sitting down and reading one book haha.
