🌍 This Week in Web3forGood
What We're Thankful For 🦃💛
gm gm,
To our readers in the United States, Happy Thanksgiving 🦃! And to our readers across the world, whatever you celebrate as the nights get longer and the year comes to a close, Happy Holiday season 🎉! As we enter this cozy, albeit busy, time of the year, we find ourselves once again reflecting on the year behind us and looking ahead at what’s to come.
This is our third holiday season writing Web3ForGood, and we are feeling especially grateful to share this newsletter with you, our community, each week. At a time when so many things compete for your attention, we deeply appreciate the space you hold for us in your inbox. Thank you for being part of this.
Continuing a tradition we started two years ago, we’d like to highlight the people, groups, and developments we’re especially thankful for this year.
Here’s who/what we’re extra thankful for in 2024:
Crypto Altruism for creating incredible, informative content every week that we love to share with our readers.
Women in ReFi, Coleen, Erin, Tereza, Maya, and everyone else we’ve met along the way, for inspiring us, being there for us, and helping us grow.
@civilmonkey for your constant support, contributions, connections, and friendship.
The SheFi community and curriculum for giving us a space to learn and grow.
ETHDenver for connecting us to so many of you IRL.
Optimism RetroPGF (retroactive public goods funding) for awarding WebForGood a RetroPGF grant, our very first, earlier this year.
Funding the Commons for continuing to host thoughtful, impactful events.
Cryptocurrency that is used for disaster relief and organizations like Givepact for facilitating this critical real world use case.
Celo Public Goods Funding for honoring Web3ForGood with a grant for our work.
And of course, we need to say it one more time: we are thankful for YOU, our readers for being here. 💛💛 THANK YOU 💛💛
Whenever we find ourselves talking about what Web3ForGood is, we always come back to one core idea: this is a community space. It’s about you, your work, your ideas, and your curiosity.
Starting next week and continuing throughout December, we’ll be sharing guest reflections on “This Year in Web3ForGood” from some of our favorite thought leaders in Web3. These are people who think the hard thoughts about how to use emerging tech for good AND take the actions necessary to make these big ideas a reality.
We hope you’ll find them as inspiring as we do. Find our first guest post in your inbox next week, on Friday, just like you’ve come to expect. See you then.
WAGMI (we are going to make an impact!)
