The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market. And companies are racing to own it. In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets. @Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes. @222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events. @JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents. @timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities. Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal. Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU. @weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation. Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact) New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people. Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads: - @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k) - @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k) - @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k) - @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k) - @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes. The question isn't whether IRL wins. It's who facilitates it best.

we need more tradexyz markets these charts are insane


What I learned after being in crypto full time for the past 6 years is Almost nothing is truly Decentralized AAVE ? no because my funds are frozen right now Arbitrum ? glad they saved the funds but its not decentralized Drift ? haha even Hyperliquid ? we know its not It makes me wanna do dump all my alt coins, only buy bitcoin and ETH and log off

be honest what monthly income would it take for you to go full-time in web3?



We filed a federal class action in SDNY on behalf of our client against the creators of AI16Z and ELIZAOS, alleging consumer protection claims. Case 1:26-cv-3238 SDNY

HUGE: @Coinbase just dropped a new agent-to-agent marketplace that will help accelerate Agential Commerce onchain. (Save this - you'll come back to it). Think of it like the app store, but for robots... Step 1: Your AI agent needs a capability it doesn't have. Maybe it needs real-time data, image generation, or trade execution. Step 2: Instead of you hunting down APIs and managing keys, your agent discovers the service it needs from the Agentic(.)Market. Step 3: The agent pays for and uses that service autonomously. Transaction complete. No human approval needed. The broader idea being... Agents won't use the same tools as humans - they'll need their own discovery layer built specifically for how they operate. Agentic(.)Market wants to be that layer - where agents can find, evaluate, and instantly connect to thousands of services using the x402 protocol - which is already doing NUMBERS: → 165M+ transactions. → ~$50M in volume. → ~100k services. → 480k+ agents already buying. All with zero API keys, zero accounts, and zero logins. One terminal command arms your agent with everything it needs to start! If you're building agents → you can now add capabilities without hunting down APIs one by one. If you're a service provider → you can list your services and start earning revenue from agent buyers immediately. Hell yeah!

bc everyone that uses crypto is unemployable due to being one shotted by random wealth generation or one shotted by wealth destruction
