- 👀 The next Illuvium
GM everyone. This is 2036. We scroll for gems all day so you don’t have to.
Today is Favorite Friday, where we serve up the resources we most enjoyed this week 🍲.
So if you're looking for content to dig into this weekend, this is your list...
1/ Balaji’s AMA
Balaji Srinivasan is one of the most respected tech entrepreneurs out there. He was an early investor in Bitcoin, CTO at Coinbase, and partner at a16z.
i.e. he’s a crypto badass.
He recently hosted an AMA on Warpcast (think decentralized Twitter) which is packed with nuggets of wisdom.
He talks about investing, crypto, life, building the cities of the future - and all the good stuff we like.
You can find the AMA right here.
I was also able to dig up Balaji’s famous startup engineering course slides that are hard to find online… here they are.
Another crypto giga brain posted giga thoughts this week.
Following in the footsteps of Marc Andreessen, the lanky King Vitalik wrote a blog post about the movement to accelerate technological progress.
It’s long but 100% worth it.
AI and ChatGPT are taking over the world.
But if you’re still wondering what large language models are - you’re in luck.
This video breaks it down for normal people like you and me who might not have dozens of hours to dedicate to the subject.

NFTs on @solana will be so obvious in hindsight. Everyone's valuation framework for Solana protocols starts by discounting the closest ETH comp to represent smaller TVL, users, etc. But I'm here to tell you that's wrong and in fact no discount/maybe a premium should be applied.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A look into one of the only games I've built a position in during the bear
And they’re going after an untapped platform with 500+ million users:

1/ The beginning of bulls are the best, sers... it's like going out on a Friday night and having that first beer. There's a lil excitement and pheromones in the air. You got your shades on even though it's dark outside. A hottie's checking you out and you're just...

Played Illuvium today.
It's real. It's amazing; indistinguishable from Web2 games.
Finally, as said 2024 and 2025 will be when see games go through more releases including official release!
Excited for this team, and everyone else building in this industry.

PRIME will be this cycle's ILV
The narrative's too strong.
It gets to double dip on hype w/ Gaming & AI.
It's got that 'new tech' clout w/ ERC6551 integration.
And most importantly, it can claim to be a revolutionary gaming experience.
This is narrative CRACK

Some ask me about my $COIN trading strategy. But there is no strategy. I have 10,000 $COIN at ~47$ from Dec 16 2022 (~470,000$ investment see pinned tweet) and I plan to cash out with at least 5M$ without trading. I have a strong conviction in the business like I had with $TSLA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
