Today's web3 with a16z episode is all about marketing — including differences between marketing in crypto and traditional tech. The conversation shares a candid look at what works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to building reputation and community, attracting developers, hiring teams and agencies, launching tokens, raising founder profiles, and more. Our experts are: ... Amanda Tyler (@amandatyler), who was most recently Head of Marketing at the Optimism Foundation (and was formerly at Polygon, Coinbase, and Google); ... Claire Kart (@clairekart), Chief Marketing Officer at Aztec (who previously was at Risc Zero and SoFi); ... in conversation with Kim Milosevich (@kimbatronic), CMO at a16z crypto (who was formerly VP of Comms at Coinbase, and who has spent decades in tech at a16z, Skype, Yahoo, and elsewhere).

Jacob Wilson is the ROY favorite thus far, but I can't help but notice his career WAR is still lower than another AL rookie shortstop: Trey Sweeney. https://www.mlb.com/news/jacob-wilson-aj-smith-shawver-lead-first-2025-mlb-rookie-of-the-year-poll

Stablecoins are quietly transforming how money moves — faster, cheaper, and more globally than ever before. In this episode, we take a deep look at why stablecoins have emerged as one of the most promising applications in crypto today — and how they could reshape global payments. @hackr is joined by @cdixon.eth, founder and managing partner of a16z crypto, and @sambroner, a deal partner at a16z crypto who focuses on stablecoins. Together, they unpack the technical and regulatory foundations of stablecoins, explore the cracks in the current payments system, and look ahead to what becomes possible once digital dollars go mainstream. We also dig into the current state of regulation — and why the future of money might end up looking a lot more like email or the web than a bank.

Freeman seems to be aging in a healthier way than Goldy…maybe because he’s not as bulked up? I don’t follow either of them too closely so could be missing something obvious

Another interesting nugget about the 2011 rookie class: it includes the 3 active relievers with (by far) the highest career bWARs: ⚾️ Kimbrel 22.3 ⚾️ Jansen 21.8 ⚾️ Chapman 21.2 The 4th-highest active reliever? Hader with 13.3.

Freddie Freeman and Paul Goldschmidt were both rookies in 2011. bWAR from 2011-15: ⚾️ Freeman 14.9 ⚾️ Goldy 23.1 bWAR from 2021-25: ⚾️ Freeman 24 ⚾️ Goldy 18.9 This year, Freeman (62.2) will likely pass Goldy (63.2) in career bWAR for the first time.

The Cubs have 21 HRs from their 7-8-9 hitters this year. That’s more than Alonso, Ohtani and Bryce Harper combined.
