MWB #18 - Learn & Earn, Bad Treatment, and The Beginning of Crypto
...be the best you can be
Hello, my friends!
I am always excited to bring you good things I found on the internet. Today, I bring you an opportunity that will pay you if you learn a new skill. Yes, I mean that.
1729 is the team behind that initiative and it headed by Balaji.
The way it works is that you will be given a task with the expectation to complete it. More often than not, the task will require you to learn a new skill. You won’t be the only one trying to complete the task. However, the top* submissions on the task will earn a reward for completing the task.
Top is judged on different metrics.
Here’s where it gets interesting though, even if you do not get selected for the reward, you would still have learnt a new skill. In which case such a challenge becomes a win-win either way.
I encourage you to check it out and subscribe to the newsletter to get updates.

I have been diving more into the crypto economy lately and this will continue into the future. In fact, I have updated my website to have a Crypto Economy category on my website now. Check it out, I will be writing more about crypto economy.
Today, I want to introduce an interesting project to you from the crypto economy. It’s the Stacks ecosystem. The team is enabling the development of smart contract and Defi on Bitcoin. Read about them here. Build DeFi And Smart Contract On Bitcoin With Stacks.
We Should All Become A “Victim Of Exposure (VOE)” - the concept of becoming a victim of exposure has been one of the greatest revelation into how the world works that I learned very early in life. VOE means exposing yourself to as much information as possible notwithstanding if they are useful at the moment. Because given enough time, they will become useful.
Crypto Thread of The Week
I started on a new experiment. Hopefully, I'm able to keep up with this. I want to write at least one thread about crypto-economy every other week. In it, I will share the best of what I know. It will often not be the perfect thing because I'm still learning. However, everyone of it will be something you can learn from.
Here's the first thread, on where it all started from:
Best of What I Read
What To Do When People Treat You Badly - it is highly likely that you have found yourself in a condition before where all you can say is “I'm being treated badly.” Many of us have found ourselves there as well. I stumbled on this article and I could immediately resonate with it because it explained exactly how I've been dealing with such a situation from my end. Read it, it is for your good.
How To Think: “It’s only by concentrating, sticking to the question, being patient, letting all the parts of my mind come into play, that I arrive at an original idea. By giving my brain a chance to make associations, draw connections, take me by surprise”
Thank you,
See you next week.
