How do we connect the trillion dollar cryptoeconomy to the billion person Indian economy?

“Some struggle w this idea bc they want to know what is it you actually own? But ppl of a younger generation don’t. It’s an old-world idea wanting to hold something in your hand, as if the intangible or immaterial doesn’t have value” @ArweaveTeam @opensea theguardian.com/artanddesign…

Slowly at first, then all at once 😎.
Enormous *THANK YOU* to the Arweave community for helping get the word out over the last few months. We are now the industry standard.
NFTs deserve permanence. Nothing less.

I'm so excited to announce @a16z's investment in @opensea, the largest NFT marketplace. It provides the needed link between the consumer & infrastructure layers for digital goods, allowing people to search items across platforms & view their provenance
