Law & Policy

As a lawyer who codes (or as @jesse likes to say, I read “dumb contracts and smart contracts”) it’s been a mission of mine to meld the two worlds I’m passionate about: tech and law.  This is why I love being a lawyer in the crypto space, because most legal issues are also technical issues.  You cannot separate them.

a worthwhile read from the hardest working lawyer in crypto - appreciate all you do @dbarabander

Botto is an artist, a community, an art movement—one of the most fascinating things happening at the nexus of AI + crypto. 

We made a frame with @bottoDAO to make the artist and community more accessible. 

Help select the next masterpiece (an easter egg favors the persistent)

Everyone’s a critic — especially online. Time to show up and manifest you opinions into something useful. @Variant x @BottoDAO frame is dropping tomorrow. March 27. Early Easter egg hunt included.

Still winter.

nordic skiing may not be America’s past time, but watching Gus Schumacher and Jessie Diggins win/podium in Minneapolis today (first world cup on home soil in 2+ decades) was patriotic AF

got asked: "what is Variant?"

thought i'd type out gist of my response:

what: seed stage crypto vc investing in both infra ➚ apps
why: the mission is to make a billion users owners.
how: extremely hands-on + onchain with a concentrated portfolio; scale support via portfolio programming that creates network effects

Building is more fun with good company around you, & coffee is better when it's free.

Agree? then join @variant for open co-working & coffee @ ETHDenver!

We've rented out a coffee shop on Feb 29 for builders looking for a warm workspace, great coffee, & networking. 

Registration is required for entry: lu.ma/gcq8nxy8

Coffee is good, coffee + friends is great, coffee + friends on Leap Day is undefeated. Come hang with the @variant homies in Denver!
