The most radical thing you can do to rebel against this emerging post-literate, brain-slop-world we are entering is read long, complicated books on a daily basis. The ability to pay attention for long periods will be one of the most valuable and rare skills of the future.

Hectic couple of days for myself and many in the Bera eco, many thanks to everyone who reached out with kind words More importantly, we’ve got one of the launches that I’m quite excited about coming up shortly with @liquidroyaltyX’s tokenized royalty streams coming onchain for Black Friday. Real world revenues living on Berachain, with many more to come. Onwards 🫡

Digital identity in the UK will not arrive as a universal system overnight. It will emerge domain by domain (finance, health, mobility) where trust, governance, and incentives align. The lesson from pets: identity is most powerful when it travels across contexts. Health, travel, and ownership data are separate silos until a trusted credential links them.

We scooped up TWO awards last night at @Entre_Conf awards, including female entrepreneur of the year, and couldn’t be more delighted. We’re about to go public and this felt like a good luck omen. @usepawpass is coming. On @berachain 😮‍💨

Real businesses are coming on chain, and they're choosing to build on Bera. The next gen of builders are thinking about where they can consistently scale their revs, their LTV/CAC ratio, and capital formation ability. Berachain's Proof of Liquidity helps direct the network's resources to where they matter most - namely, in helping these applications win. It was great to get a chance to yap a bit about how I see the space maturing as a whole, and to tell the crowd at the Hack Summit about @Starglow_world, @InfraredFinance, @liquidroyaltyX and many more profitable apps that call Bera their home. Berachain builds businesses.

We're one of the *many* ghosts building in stealth on @berachain. Now feels like a good time to say hi from the graveyard, and why I'm/we're bullish: @usepawpass is building the first-ever digital ID for animals. We centralise all essential pet data - incl. medical records, vaccination histories, and travel documentation - into a verifiable, tamper-proof, reusable digital passport, allowing pet owners to share records instantly. We had the chance to build on a lot of chains, so why Berachain? They were the first team we met who: 1️⃣ cared 2️⃣ thought long-term about Web3 3️⃣ *actually* supported builders 4️⃣ want real long-term users 5⃣ operate like a solid team that supports each other 6⃣@SmokeyTheBera has a long-term vision of the ecosystem and is making strategic bets, not hype cycles 7⃣ care about bringing real, mass consumer use cases on-chain We believe every pet should have a digital identity. We also believe blockchain is the best technology to achieve that. Our users don’t know (or care) it’s on-chain, and that’s the point. We need a solid ghost chain to run silently in the background. We need a chain with a solid, long-term vision. If you’re a real builder, focus on users, revenue, and real adoption. Berachain.

We haven’t quite expanded into cats yet… but @EntrepreneurMAG seems to have other ideas 😹 Typo cat-astrophe… or vision for our future? Either as Pawpuss or Pawpass, we're so excited that we've been named one of the Top 100 startups redefining innovation and entrepreneurship in London by @EntrepreneurUK! Proud to be building in the UK and honoured to be in such great company! 🚀 Full article in comments. @juliakemp #top100 #startups #pawpass #entrepreneuruk #LTW #LondonTechWeek #UK #London

Game plan here is pretty clear imo - Continue bringing top tier talent to the team (welcome @0xcarnation and @_AstroBera) - Work with @bgtfdn to ensure that there are clear guidelines and goals around governance, reward vaults etc, including the role/importance of $BERA in PoL - Support the Bera builders who've been here since day 1, and work with them to make Berachain into an incredibly welcome environment for builders (both old and new) - Double down on teams building distribution-driven businesses which are less correlated to macro whiplash + DeFi rates (ie. @puffpaw, @playwithOU, @narralayer, @usepawpass, @wai_protocol, @sukukfi) - Continue to bring new teams into PoL, especially those with robust + sustainable incentive bases built around hard assets (ie. @avalonfinance_, @SolvProtocol and @Bedrock_DeFi bringing BTC-adjacent incentives to Bera) - Encourage novel uses of PoL beyond passive liquidity to drive volume, fees, economic activity and usage as teams like @TheBullas_, @SX_Bet, @kumadotbid, @ramen_finance and others are exploring - Improve product UX (shoutout folks like @0xMop_ and @SwappeeFinance doing this proactively) especially around incentive addition + distribution for incoming reward vaults - Let the culture keep flowing, esp with teams like @steadyteddys, @TheBullas_, @eatsleepyeet, @berabaddies, @Bera_Land, @The_HoneyCast, @cave_off and many others contributing - Refine messaging + "bite sized" versions of Berachain and PoL as a whole, iterate with feedback - Keep building the shit that matters. Berachain.

I’m wondering if a @GWRHelp train without an-apology-for-something-over-the-tannoy actually exists?

A highlight of @BEconomy_HQ London @jnasr giving us *actual* practical use cases of how Blockchain can transform the healthcare industry.

In @McKinsey’s new report (The 14 most important technology trends...) user experience is a challenge for early adopters of Web3. I agree and here's why 🧵

5. Web3 comes with its own dictionary of terms (@mishadavinci wrote a good thread on this) meaning we are putting the burden of complexity on the user

6. There is a large learning curve attached with many projects and we can adopt Jakob's Law - lowering the strain of using something new by having similar expectations of what we have used before e.g. Web2
