On the Street....Ready for Summer, Milano


This week I'm in Milano, and it's already full-on summer here.

I spotted this gentlemen last summer but never got a chance to shoot him. I caught him in the late afternoon looking bit worn out from work and he was not about to let me take his photograph. After begging him in my poor Italian he finally looked me up and down and gave a simple nod. He looked just as comfortable last time wearing the same perfect blazer and crisp white shirt during the most unbearable heat. (Does he wear it everyday?)

Oh what a handsome guy. Yes, he must wear it every day...it suits him well. As my mother used to say, "Oh I wish to be a cat sometimes; they're so chic in that one perfect outfit."

Yes. And this darling is a good match for my darling Giulia. Now for us to move back to Italia. (But not Milano...I wonder if he's willing to relocate?:)

ciao-meow!

Isn't it funny, you can really tell he is from Milan: the colour combination, the aplomb, the simplicity and elegance of the outfit... You would never find anything like this in other cities.

What a great story. I did not think that it is for the cat. Locksmiths Bournemouth has a great history as well when it comes to their quality of service that they provide to customers.

“There are always satellite events,” she said. In fact, traveling to conference cities with an open mind acted as a catalyst for Howitt’s current tech career: “I was staying with friends, and I ended up going to [blockchain] conferences. And I've continued that tradition now. It's my job now.”
Most early blockchain conferences and hackathons – collaborative coding events – grew from Web3’s cypherpunk tradition, Howitt added, starting from the first-ever Ethereum developer’s symposium, DevCon 0, in 2014. Things have evolved over the years, and today you can find conferences tailored to different subcommunities in Web3, like Bitcoin Miami, ETH Devnver, NFT.NYC and DeFiCon.
Several low or no-cost educational groups exist that can connect you to hundreds of peers at whatever level you may be at. These groups typically host online Zoom sessions, throw IRL parties, arrange conference meetups, produce podcasts, hold Twitter Spaces and more. They also crack some jokes from time to time.
You can start with a free newsletter, such as CoinDesk’s new Learn Crypto Investing newsletter. Look for both general educational platforms and affinity groups built for and by people you relate to. Women and non-binary people can check out educational groups like Boys Club, Eve Wealth, BFF and SheFi. Members of the Latinx community can find resources at Web3 Familia, founded by OP Crypto venture partner, Christian Narvaez and co-founders Orlando Gomez, Francisco Izaguirre and Magdalena Madrigal.
“Web3 Familia is an educational community focused on Latinos globally,” Narvaez told CoinDesk. “We're Latino-focused, but we're not Latino-exclusive. We do everything in both Spanish and English. We also interact with others, so there's a broad network that goes beyond just the Latino community.”
Apply for funding through blockchain ecosystems
For more advanced Web3 users with big ideas for a new protocol or decentralized application (dapp), blockchain ecosystems typically have a pool of resources to help jumpstart a project. As an investor himself, Narvaez encourages all first-time founders to seek grant funding or enroll in an incubator program before pitching your ideas to venture capitalists (VC). Becoming a grant recipient of one of the big blockchain players is not only a great way to find fellow builders and embed yourself within an ecosystem, it has financial upsides, too.
“[Ecosystems like] Near, Polygon, Solana and Ethereum have grants for projects to have their initial kickoff,” Narvaez said. He suggests using these grants to build a minimum viable product (MVP), or a “rough draft” version of your dApp for early use. That way, founders can keep as much equity in their project as possible later on.
Once you’ve tested and proven your idea, you might seek out VC money from Web3-focused firms, assuming you’ve done the legwork, have a good product and foster the appropriate relationships. “I happily engage and help in any way possible,” said Narvaez, “whether it's connecting people to our venture team for funding possibilities, and if it doesn't fit the thesis of the fund, [potentially] connecting with other VCs in the ecosystem.”
Use your best judgment and DYOR
While these tips may open new channels for community building, engaging in online discourse may also invite scammers or spam into your inbox. Use the hashtag #NFT or #NFTCommunity on either Twitter or Instagram and it may trigger a deluge of bots sliding into your DMs asking for the private keys to your crypto wallet (which you should keep safe and never give to anyone).
