Hi Casters. I posted my year end playlist this morning https://avc.xyz/my-year-end-playlist-1
Hi Casters. I love "watering holes", the places that industry sectors congregate for meals and coffees and beers and more. A new one just opened in the ground floor of USV's office building in the Union Square neighborhood and I wrote about it today https://avc.xyz/leons
Hi Casters. I have worked with a lot of former lawyers in my career and they have always been terrific business partners. I wrote a bit about that today https://avc.xyz/former-lawyers
Hi Casters. Do yourself a favor and find an hour this week to listen to this podcast conversation between the prolific writer Steven Johnson and my partner @nickgrossman.eth. They talk about Steven's journey to unlock “networked thought” through the use of tools, and the micro insights that gradually led him to NotebookLM, a tool that he is currently co-creating with the team at Google Labs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa9fNAdV5t4

Hi Casters. If you want to watch Vitalik: An Ethereum Story, you can do so now by minting an NFT for $20 and then streaming it on your computer or TV via a connected computer. You can do that here: https://ethereumfilm.xyz/
Hi Casters. I had the pleasure of attending a premier of Vitalik: An Ethereum Story in NYC on Weds night. I wrote about it today https://avc.xyz/vitalik-an-ethereum-story

Hi Casters. I had two totally separate conversations this week about startup mortality rates and so I thought I'd write up some thoughts on the topic https://avc.xyz/startup-mortality-rates
Hi Casters. The other night I was talking to my wife, aka the Gotham Gal, and I remarked that she has had quite a varied career with over forty different jobs, most of them during the forty-four years we've been together. And I suggested she write a blog post listing all of them. She did that today. It's quite a list https://gothamgal.com/2024/09/job-list/
Hi Casters. I wrote about some "inside VC" topics this morning. You may or may not find this interesting. But if you are in VC, particularly early in your career, you should give this a read. https://avc.xyz/reserves,-recycling,-and-returns
Hi Casters. I love showcasing digital art on TV screens in my home and offices. I've been doing this for almost a decade now and it has gotten easier. With view.art, which launched to the world today, it has gotten wayyyy easier. I wrote about all of this on my blog today https://avc.xyz/viewart
Hi Casters. A lot of people I know have been the subject of account takeover hacks in the last month. Unfortunately, some of them were successful. So I wrote a post today about things you can do to keep your assets safe. https://avc.xyz/avoiding-account-takeovers
I kicked off this conversation yesterday
"Two things will drive this change: first, AI will lower the barriers for people to create high-quality content in new and existing formats; and second, new business models will emerge to better compensate content creators and grow the pie for all network participants."

Hi Casters. avc.xyz now has comments powered by Farcaster. If you comment here, it will show up there. This is reminiscent of the "Discuss On Twitter" Wordpress plugin that my partner @nickgrossman.eth built for AVC.com and everyone else back in January of 2020 https://wordpress.org/plugins/discuss-on-twitter/
Hi Casters. A few weeks ago I wrote an email to a founder preparing for his first board meeting. I decided to share it with everyone and did that today https://avc.xyz/board-meeting-suggestions
