Some heavy news: a few days ago I was told by my doctor I have congestive heart failure. Symptoms started last year out of the blue and I put off seeking help (like an idiot) so I could keep working. But after testing, my doctor called and asked me to radically change my life.🧵.

As a Jewish person, Kanye’s anti-semitic vitriol has been horrifying. I don’t want Yuga involved in anything related to him. We’re reaching out to Adidas to see what their plan is. I don’t blame Adidas for Kanye’s actions, and trust they are going to make the right call.

Almost a year ago, I called Garga to ask him what he thought about the metaverse. Thought he’d tell me to get lost, but we ended up talking all night. The vision for Otherside and the Kodas, primal little beings who would usher us into this new landscape, came from that call.

When Yuga first started, RTKFT was the first team in the space to take us seriously. They met with us and gave us tons of selfless advice. AAA team and stand up guys through and through. Always exciting seeing what they cook up next.
RTFKT is definitely one of my favourite teams in the space. The way they structure their drops and make everything a game in itself deserves a lot of respect.
