In this letter, I wanted to share my vision for the next phase of this Counter Nature project (this is where the free NFTs will come from). And, of course, my brief opinion and perspective on this ugly crypto downturn that has led us to the Terra and LUNA “stablecoin” crash. A brief introduction to my perspective on the Terra stablecoin: I think its use of the word stablecoin was wrongful.

In this letter, I will share some art I've admired recently, as well as a brief headline from one of the Ukraine-Russia side-stories. I will reserve most of my commentary for only one topic in this letter, which is probably the most important: Le Doge

Obviously, the most important thing in the world right now is the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. I won't share too much on the news or my opinion on it besides the fact that I'm clearly against what Putin is forcing his servicemen and country into. Ukraine is valiant, inspiring and hopelessly outnumbered. I discuss some resources for the conflict in Ukraine and the innovative Pokt Network.

I'm liquidating all of my crypto for another investment. Kanye West's new Donda 2 album only available for purchase via $200 Stem Player. Charlie Munger's inversion theory for solving complex problems. International tensions with Canadian cryptocurrency regulation and infringement, and Russia's correlation to the crypto markets.

This letter will be focused on pulling inspiration and knowledge from others. February is Black History Month, so I will be starting this letter with key accomplishments and moments from Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and legacy. After that, it's straight into the biggest and most amount of news I have ever covered in web3 and crypto. It's BIG.

Lots of did-you-knows in this letter! Using a car to hedge against inflation, the first (ever?) NFT to be minted in space, Saudi Arabia entering the esports industry, remote work innovations, and much more!

Now is a good moment to zoom out for some perspective. What do you think I am referring to with this statement? I made that statement with one topic in mind, but since I've started typing, I'm realizing it’s applicable to many things right now.

I bought into a new NFT project this week. It's funny, you can go from being so focused on research and due diligence for a project, like I did with the Nas royalties on Royal, but then turn around a few days later and buy on impulse, random timing, and pure vibe.

This week's letter has some interesting topics that I've been really excited to write about. We're gonna be getting into music NFTs, investing in China, and crypto app valuations.

Happy New Year, everyone! Last year was a lot of things, and 2022 will be a lot of other things. In the macro, maybe the new year will be better and maybe it will be worse. However, we all have the choice to make it better for ourselves. Let's not focus too much on the macro of this world's craziness and focus more on the micro lives of ourselves, our families, our friends, and all of the loved ones within our networks. We can have a successful and happy year if we want to--lets do it!
