Catching up on all the lens development. Checked into lenster to see its rebrand to ‘hey’ and then found Orb! Happy to be here :)
I have a question for content creators:
-
Have you chosen a personality/content stream on social?
-
Has this thinking changed when it comes to how you are approaching Lens?
For example I've exclusively created start up content/ web3 educational content on tik-tok, my IG has been relatively personal and twitter has been strictly founder related.
I have all these other content steams- my hobbies, dance, pop culture, personal life that I want to make content on but struggle when I feel pigeon holed into one stream that people know me for and has worked consistently.
"You can do whatever you want, it's up to you" - most people will say
And whilst I agree I feel like people bucket creators into categories and content and when it falls outside of that bucket the success/engagement falls off. I've had followers tell me to stay strictly in 'my lane'. Maybe thats okay and part of it is accepting the lowered engagement but I'm curious as to how other people think on this?
Todays inspo quote from my dad:
"Once we learn how to learn, then you can see that we actually expand our reality through learning from one another. There is so much to learn, and once we see ourselves as students, ongoing perpetual students, that means we can learn languages, different cultural frameworks, sciences, philosophies. " - Lewis Gordon
Web3 week in review?
SBF arrested in the Bahamas.
Sam Bankman-Fried's media tour has officially ended. The disgraced former FTX CEO was arrested and charged yesterday in the Bahamas at the request of the U.S. government. He will be extradited to the U.S. Prosecutors charged SBF with wire fraud and multiple counts of conspiracy, including conspiracy counts of defrauding investors, lenders, and the United States, committing commodities and securities fraud and money laundering, and violating campaign finance laws. Coincidentally, SBF said he didn't think he would be detained on a Twitter Space two hours before he was arrested.
Congressman calls for investigation of Gensler.
Democratic congressman, Ritchie Torres, called for an independent investigation of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler. In the letter, the congressman states that the FTX collapse was a huge oversight for Gensler, who claimed exclusive regulatory dominion over crypto exchanges. Meanwhile, Minnesota Rep Tom Emmer demanded that Gensler speaks before congress and “answer questions about the cost of his regulatory failures.”
The Block CEO Mike McCaffrey resigns after failing to disclose $27 million loan from Alameda research.
Crypto news website The Block's CEO resigned after it was uncovered that he took out a $27 million loan from FTX hedge fund Alameda Research. The new CEO, Bobby Moran, deniesanyone at The Block knew about the loan except McCaffrey. However, this discovery could still seriously undermine The Block's credibility and coverage of SBF.
OpenAI is taking off.
The future is AI - and crypto. OpenAI released a chatbot capable of fluid conversation with users called ChatGPT. The tool has created a trading bot, trading terminal, and smart contract.
Markets, you up?
Bitcoin(BTC) is up 7.28%, and Ethereum (ETH) is up 8.71%. Bitcoin hit a high of $18,062.91, while Ethereum hit a high of null,341.19. The market is up due to the expectation the U.S. Federal Reserve will slow the pace of interest rate hikes at the meeting scheduled today.
