🎓 The Ivy League goes to the Metaverse. Few things are more reaffirming than watching traditional institutions embrace web3. The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School is offering the first Ivy League certification program on the Metaverse. You can simultaneously impress your colleagues and make your dad proud.
📊 We can’t unsee the incongruence between the egalitarian values espoused in web3 and what the data shows. CryptoStats and Messari are keeping us honest with the revelation that the top 15 DAOs contain 60% of overall (liquid) DAO treasury value.
🛍 Unintended outcomes, part II: Luxury brick and mortar brands like Nike, Tiffany, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and more, are dominating NFT sales, a space originally envisioned for the uniquely creative, built by a generation claiming to eschew consumerism and material goods.🤔
🎶 This creative is crushing it. Kudos to songadaymann on transitioning his 12+ year creative streak to web3. We love that he’s adopting the ethos and issues in addition to embracing the technology.
