Hot take: LinkedIn marketing will become more relevant for crypto / web 3.

We all know @arjunbhuptani for his work in interop, but he’s also someone who’s been paying close attention to AI. I wanted to understand how someone who thinks so clearly about systems and incentives is thinking about AI: its impact on society, on crypto, on the way we live, and maybe even on the idea of being human. I learned a lot from this one. My takeaways: 1. Your competition isn’t AI, it’s AI-augemented humans. TLDR: don’t be lazy and play with the AI tools. 2. Crypto isn’t just for speculation, it might just be the ultimate safety layer to ensure AI is used for good things: > blockchains can create fundamentally uncheatable rules > zero-knowledge proofs can verify truth > decentralized systems can prevent a single entity from controlling the most powerful technology ever created 3. With AI, intelligence is now abundant and perhaps a commodity. Leg into things that make you a better human: taste, intuition, charisma, empathy, and genuine creativity. You can’t prompt those into existence. 4. There’s no “playbook” for life or a set linear path to progress. The “go to school, get a degree, climb a career ladder” model is out, the “first principles thinking, ability to learn, and figuring out how to solve problems” mental model is the only way to build leverage in life.

Why is ETHBrasil 2 months apart from Devcon and right before KBW?

Just built a 9 months (strong) and 18 months (loose) product roadmap. And 18 months (strong) and 36 months (loose) execution strategy. I feel those are reasonable timeframes to give your team perspective and clarity on why and how you do what. As the market constantly changes and the team keeps on growing, alignment becomes a much harder task.
