    I also wear this watch every day and have done for a couple of years now. It’s the perfect watch- completely autonomous time, solar powered, classic look while still having digital…

    I used and loved this framework years ago so happy to see it’s still thriving. I’d love to start making games with my son now he’s getting older, but I always used to hit a roadblo…

    Pretty baseless opinion. Julia Donaldson is an easy example but there are a lot of magical modern children's authors.

    This is a strawman. The entire ecosystem does not have to be 100% decentralised. There is massive utility in a trustless, permissionless, censorship-resistant contract layer connec…

    I think instead of reading what I wrote, you read "you need a blockchain to do this". The anti-blockchain narrative on here is constantly attacking the strawman of "literally every…

    That's great! Hey look I would like to send you the rights to my crate of wine. You're the 1000th customer to my site. Or maybe you want to trade it for your in-game weapon. Or I j…
