I’m not great at basic math, I don’t have a background in finance, and numbers shit doesn’t come easy to me. In fact, I was one of those kids who came from a financially illiterate blue collar family that struggled on many levels. They created magic for us despite the anvil of un-payable bills and APRs and hospital tabs above their heads. It wasn’t until I was about to turn thirty—newly married and somehow buying my first home—that I started to take financial literacy into my own hands. I made it a priority, started engaging with what felt foreign to me, and asked the right people a lot of questions. I let go of the idea that money and stability were only meant for people who grew up with both. [continued 👇]

issue 37 of Babe is out now and it's dedicated to Wien and here's a quote from it: Shit will happen. You will fuck up small things. You will fuck up big things. Systems will glitch. Toggles will be toggled wrong. Emails will go to spam. Payments will get delayed. There is no version of running a consumer-facing product where everything works perfectly all the time. https://babe.beehiiv.com/p/babe-issue-thirty-seven

I'm thirty issues deep into Babe (my future-culture newsletter), and it feels like it’s time for it to evolve. To enter its holographic diva era, if you will. For months I’ve been wondering how to make this weirdo newsletter even better—more useful, more fun—without losing its cheeky, not-so-serious tone. And today, Babe is shapeshifting. From here on out, it'll be a weekly curation of the best links on the internet you didn’t know you needed: crypto, web3, blockchain, AI, human consciousness, and the strange corners of culture hiding between. Snackable, scrollable, un-algorithmic. Perfect for the already-in and the crypto-curious. The job listings stay. The vibe stays. But instead of a single weekly “learn with me” essay, it'll be a mix—curated sundries from the nerdy, artsy, and tech-y underground. Basically, there’s a fuckton of noise out there. Algorithms feed us more of the same until everything tastes flat. And as my brother said on the phone yesterday: if you only eat what you’re served, you stop growing. Eventually, it all just tastes like shit. So Babe’s new mission? Expand the palate and the palette. lfg. https://babe.beehiiv.com/p/babe-issue-thirty-one

What if... When I buy my wife some nails. I spend 25 USDC on a web3 store. 20 USDC pays the creator for the product. 5 USDC buys the Creator's Zora Coin. That Creator Coin goes into my wallet. When my wife gets the nails, There is a QR code That deposits an NFT Into her wallet. Certificate of Ownership NFT Goes to the person who received the gift. The gift giver is invested in the Creator forever. We need to wrap web3 around REAL PRODUCTS. This is how you do it. Buying a physical product, Should come with digital products, That bond the buyer and the creator. Excited for this future, Where buying Is not just about receiving a product It is Buying Supporting and Investing In another human being All wrapped together In One Click @zora @jacob @winberry @ckbubbles Well done on the pocast! Yes, I watched a nail podcast. I kind of want to go get my nails done now! https://open.spotify.com/show/4DUMXazqOks7MgasMYeM3Y?si=9f97e617c0594156

new Babe is out as of yesterday… “The real education isn't in the trading—it's in realizing that financial literacy isn't some innate talent that other people have and you don't. It's a skill you build by doing uncomfortable things repeatedly until they become slightly less uncomfortable. The idea of setting my first limit order felt like taking on quantum physics. Actually doing it felt like ordering coffee. The math still confuses me, but that’s ok. I don’t need to understand it all. With numbers (or whatever the fuck makes you black out whenever you’re around it), it’s about working with the confusion instead of being frozen by it.”
