Kinda boring markets right now. Lots happening on our backend. I’m putting the final touches on the Andy’s Inner Circle Agenda #1, which is the paid version of my newsletter. Inside, you’ll find my longer form thoughts. I will expand on my conversations with builders in the space and provide you with actionable information about what is coming up for each project (I speak to at least 1-2 projects/day), my portfolio updates & market thoughts, Q&As, and other high ROI opportunities I’m looking at.
Token2049 is going down this upcoming week, I’m excited to see all the content from there. I think I’m going to head to Istanbul for DevCon in November. That’s going to be epic.
Let’s get right into it.
