Really excited about the $AZUSD stablecoin as a force for ecological and social good in crypto.
DeFi principles, regen energy.
We really need more of this combination.

Great work by the team over the last two months to get this over the line!
Lots more to be done, especially on the project data integration side, but we're excited about where things are headed.
Introducing the new CARBON Copy!
We're taking a data-first approach to help the ReFi ecosystem grow. All the great content and ecosystem tracking is still there, but we really want the impact data to shine!

The Green Crypto Handbook is an impressive piece of work. Hope it gets published soon.
In the meantime, check out the interview with the authors. So many great insights about how Web3 can positively impact the environment.
"Yes, we believe blockchain is mature enough to support a meaningful transition—if we recognise...
With The Green Crypto Handbook manuscript complete, our @trinitymorphy sat down with the authors, Louise Borreani and @paparaw.eth of Ecofrontiers, for a discussion about environmental assets and what they mean for ReFi.
"Ultimately, ReFi’s core value lies in its institutional and protocological imagination: it’s a te

Finished Black Mirror S7. Perhaps all the positive reviews set my expectations a little too high. Not to say it wasn't better, but it didn't have that "Holy crap!" episode like most of the previous seasons.

E2 - 4/10...

Ramona always gets to the bottom of these stories.
"But the decision to replace Thibodeau, one source told ESPN, had been trending in that direction for months. The team simply wasn't maximizing its talent, despite having two All-NBA players in Brunson and Towns. And after meeting with the select group of players and ...

Finished up You S5.
For me, this series peaked at S3. S4 was good, but you could tell they were reaching. For S5, they had to rely on multiple plot twists per episode instead of originality.
If I had to put my finger on it, I'd say the main reason this show didn't need to go on so long is because Joe doesn't change....

Finished The White Lotus S3.
Aside from the gun obsession that American shows seem to have, the one part that felt off was the pretense Rick used for going to Sritala's house. Find it hard to believe that a seasoned Thai actress would be so enamoured with Hollywood that she would blindly trust a random guest when he s...
"If novelists can learn how filmmakers utilize particular camera shots to achieve specific effects, create specific moods, and evoke specific emotions, they have a powerful tool at hand."
Great perspective on how to show, not tell.
