Recommended Reads WILL THE DOGE JUMP? When the people behind dogecoin, the famous dog-depicting cryptocurrency worth ~$40 billion, announced last month a reboot of the Doge Foundation with the addition of Ethereum inventor Vitalik Buterin as an adviser, it got tongues wagging in the crypto space. The reinstatement of the foundation formalizes development work on the cryptocurrency and suggests a specific future-proofing of the dogecoin roadmap when it comes to crypto mining. “DOGE is going to be exploring proof-of-stake (PoS), probably with some kind of parallel chain,” a source with knowledge of the matter told CoinDesk. “But there’s no ETA and some internal friction.”
BRANDING THE METAVERSE: The metaverse, a virtual space generated by the convergence of virtual worlds, augmented reality and internet services, is coming, writes Boson Protocol's Holly Atkinson. No longer will the physical store be the focal point of sales – there will be opportunities for the real and digital worlds to interlink, creating a new experiential dimension for businesses and consumers. By revolutionizing the way humans interact, the metaverse will redefine what businesses are and how they should operate. Some companies (like Gucci and Burberry) are watching and learning. Those that don’t will be left behind. NFTs & APP STORES: When news broke last week that Apple would be settling a class-action lawsuit brought by developers in 2019, crypto was nonplussed. But those who understood the momentous event realized the potential ramifications of the U.S. tech giant loosening its grip for various sectors across the blockchain industry, particularly as it relates to NFTs. Venture capitalist Mathew Ball wrote in a blog post in June that the main reason most crypto games and NFT platforms are solely browser-based and not packaged in iOS apps is because of Apple’s restrictions on small developers. Will this now change?
ARE DAOs SOCIALIST? Dr. Paul Dylan-Ennis coins the term "venture commonism" to describe the new breed of venture capitalist entrepreneurs committed to contributing to the public good through DAOs. So are they libertarians or communists? Or do the old labels even fit?
