• Web3 becomes way more about portability of identity and micropayments than ownership of expensive 8-bit art • Live commerce finally becomes mainstream in America • Google tries to copy Notion • Tidal waves of headlines about the upcoming demise of Bitcoin and ETH. Both tokens still end the year significantly stronger • Bay Area to continue losing relative importance in tech. Anyone with hard skills itching to maximize bang for their buck • Apple Sidecar still inexplicably buggy
