Women 3.0: All Things Web3 — Issue #6
No musings this week. And not just because my Mac keyboard is sticking… Yes I did consider writing this entire intro without the letter ’N’ because that key just does not seem to work on first rapid strike. But instead, I smacked down on that thing multiple times to be here with you all.
In the interim, while my computer takes a rest from my maniacal typing… I will let you know that I’m working on something more centralized so that these updates aren’t limited to once a week.
I want you to be able to check in whenever you have a free second and see the latest Telegrams I’m joining, allowlists and whitelists opening up, metaverse news… you name it.
Because let’s be honest — I’m on Discord, Twitter and LinkedIn a lot more these days than I’d like to be, so I might as well share the alpha right?
(I mean, that IS how I scored a spot on HUG’s private Telegram with Randi Zuckerberg — courtesy of my new web bestie Raysa. Yes, I did stop watching The Bachelor finale so I could get in. But no, I’m not the least bit mad about it.)
I’m always scouring the news. I’m racking up intel. And then I have so much it seems like I need to cut these newsletters down so they’re not the size of the ‘Eye of the World’ novel sitting on my coffee stand.
So with that, I started solution seeking.
And — I have one coming to you soon :)
*Giveaways on NFTs, pi + more included.
Hope you had a nice Pi day friends.
The big question is: Did you opt for a pizza pi or apple pi??
📰 A Whoooole Lot’s Been Goin’ Down This Last Week
- From BAYC buying CryptoPunks and Meebits…
- To Zuck announcing NFT’s will soon be on IG…
- To Twitter’s latest innovation of ‘tweet awards’ — hats off to Ryan Reynolds who will surely sweep this…
- To Sia revealing herself as the granddaughter account of Cozomo de’ Medici…
And the lists… oh the lists! There’s been so many good ones out this week:
- 5 women NFT artists you should know (super bullish on Yasmin Shima + YOTW… I mean, have you seen my Twitter PFP?)
- 4 ways we can use NFTs in the real world (besides dressing up as a bored ape for Halloween… though I will enjoy seeing that this fall)
- 10 most searched NFT projects on Google — I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of the top search… so maybe I’m not good at my job? Or maybe this list isn’t the most accurate? Interesting, nonetheless.
- 6 reasons why there aren’t more women in crypto (but if it’s really portrayed as the next generation of tech bros… what does that make me? 😂)
- 10 top female metaverse founders and influencers (Jaime Schmidt liked my tweet once… yes it was in that moment that I #MadeIt)
- 10 NFT trends that will go viral in 2022 (not sure how I feel about avatar casting… but a lot of hype NFTs out there are starting to get their own Netflix shows and book deals)
& a few more pieces recommended to skim alongside tomorrow’s cup of joe…
Shopify is diving headfirst into the world of NFTs, Web3 & AR
They want to be where merchants are. Apparently, I’ll be taking my niece to the metaverse shopping mall in 10 years… which I guess is just putting on an Oculus and using Mom’s free money card to swipe on what we want and have it show up with Amazon Prime speed?
It’s Okay to Talk About (and Make, and Spend, and Invest) Money
I don’t have a subscription here to read it, but I want to — Just today I had a pep talk from my business partner about asking for money that I deserve. IDK why it’s so hard to put into practice. *Accepting tips & advice & motivational speeches always.
🎙 Who We’re Talking To
- Jennifer Tanner at NuPay Technologies & PRISM. She started the convo off with a manifestation reference, so yes, consider her my new soul sista. Thank you, Uinverse.
- Fernanda Boccard of Serious & Cool People. A super inspirational NFT artist with a story that I can really relate to — and who’s art sold out mad quick. (Currently trying to convince her to rip down the wood in her childhood home so we can see what she painted on the walls for her next project!)
- 400 Drums: The cultural keepers of Indigenous art. Boyyy are they up to some cool stuff. Peep here for whitelist info!
- Raysa Suarez of Women In Tech NFT. Probably dishing out some of the best alpha around. I got in with HUG thanks to her Discord!
- Ankita Dhakar of Cyber Cosmos World. They’re building the next generation of women in tech. (Their Harley Quinn NFT is going on my wishlist.)
- James Timberlake, of James Timberlake. A dad, artist, DAO evangelist, Web3 advisor… he’s a busy man with pretty cool thoughts on how we can make Web3 a more utopian place.
