My Top Web3 Business Focused Writers (usually)
Here are some of the newsletters I'm subscribed to that help me be immersed in NFTs, Brands, Metaverse/Web3 plays, and more.
Hi Professionally Curious One!
When I first started learning about Web3, Blockchain, Crypto, I found myself overwhelmed with so much engineer-y speak.
It was quite hard to “Google” things as we are now in age where there is an overwhelming amount of information. I essentially experience this problem: if I don’t even know what I’m looking for, how could I possibly find what is right for me?
When I first started diving into the space, a lot of literature I could find were hard-core technical documentation, rehashes of the same content, or worst yet, some blasphemy of the english and emojii languages.
Not knowing any sources of literature, I spent a lot of my own time piecing things together. I then set forth to do easy crypto explainers.
Along the way, I identified some writers who also write in the same space, and they all take a non-engineer centric tone. Specifically, they all take business (or even philosophical) approaches to content creation.
And I love it!
So here are my top reads for you from these fabulous content creators.
Note: You don’t have to read them all. Just read what feels relevant to you.
