J.P. Morgan knows how to party! Did you know that 250 people move to Miami every day? That's right! This means a big influx of newcomers looking to find new connections and build or grow their business in The Magic City 🏝️ And J.P. Morgan knows how to serve this niche. Last week and during Art Basel, J.P. Morgan and Zendesk organized an intimate VIP dinner to connect a select group of VCs and top-tier startups, and they did a fantastic job: - Quality people - Quality conversations - Quality food and wine Bravi bravi 👏🏼 S/O to Lavinia Meliti for putting this together and inviting me, Arthur Rozenblit for being a hospitable co-host, and Alex Freund, Flavio Pripas, Ivo Machado, Klaus Graetzer and Laura González-Estéfani for the great conversations. The future of Miami is bright ✨

AI generated rap for enterprise events? Cringe or cool? I’d say, it’s cool if you’re at that event cause it’s different than all other boring enterprise events. But it’s cringe when you watch the video later on social media. Regardless, s/o to Canva for the bold move. Music is a universal language. It’s made of waves and vibration. And we ARE waves and vibration. Two years ago a fast-casual restaurant chain came to us at The Armin Bar (NYC|Milan) for their launch in Miami 🏝️ And as part of our proposal we created a song for them which was 100% human, no AI, and 200% good vibes. Unfortunately for different reasons we didn’t move forward with that project, but I’m a firm believer of using music as a mean of communication for any busienss. Think of the jingles that you still remember from TV ads when you were a kid. It’s hard to pull this off, but when it’s done right, it’ll be memorable… sometimes for the rest of our lives.

What do ‘70s hippies and Web3 builders have in common? I spent two weeks working from a cabin in Woodstock, NY. Where thousands of hippies gathered in August 1969 to celebrate freedom. And almost 50 years later... You still see peace signs and kindness in every interaction here. While visiting the Festival Museum at Bethel Woods, I saw titles like: “Dreams of Prosperity” and “Changing the World”. Hippies were the freedom fighters who: - Dared to stand against the system - Fought for their values - Wanted to build a better future It was a déjà vu to my experience with the Web3 builders... Who are crazy enough to actually change the world for the better. Consequently BananaConf (ex-NFT Tallinn), NFC Summit, and Nordic Blockchain Association Conference are the modern-day Woodstock. This is history in the making. They’ll write about these events. They’ll write about these people. I missed BananaConf (ex-NFT Tallinn) last week as I had to stay in the US for some personal matters…c'est la vie! But no matter your background... There’s a place for you in the Web3 space. If you’re in Europe, join European Web3 Organization and be part of a community that fights for these values. Stronger together. One love ❤️

Made it on a Times Square billboard thanks to NFT.NYC

Starting this year's conference season with NFT.NYC (Apr 3-5). Here to talk: 1- Web3 technology adoption for brands (ONE OF ONE ™ - DNA&BLOCKCHAIN TO PROTECT YOUR VALUES) 2- Community and events (BananaConf (ex-NFT Tallinn), BananaCorp) 3- And interestingly enough, conferences outside of Europe are also interested in the mission of European Web3 Organization and its impact on the web3 space as a whole. But truth to be told, I'm more excited to hang and share a banana with the degens, who are crazy enough to actually change our world for better. See you tonight for the speaker reception and later at 8:30pm for a Times Square takeover to feature some of the best artists and projects from the NFT Community. LFG 🔥
