Crypto resurfacing In the year of 2020 when Covid-19 was beginning and the world was moving into lock down, people were out of work. In every country across the world industries at mass scales were laying off workers at a never before seen rate. Families and people were left with only their savings and their hope it will end soon and maybe an alternative form of income will show itself. Then in the later half of 2020 the world experienced a crypto boom. To be specific the world experienced a massive BITCOIN boom. This is when bitcoin reached one of its highest prices ever of 26,000 USD per coin. A massive leap considering in the summer of 2010 one Bitcoin was worth 0.05 USD, according to Kai Sedgwick from news.bitcoin.com .The reason for this jump is simple. People’s revenue streams were closing at an accelerated rate, too fast for some to prepare for. People needed a new stream of revenue from a market that seemed promising, that seemed almost too good to be true. This is where Bitcoin enters. People bet their life savings, sold shares to buy it and even borrowed money from licit and illicit entities just to have a moonshot at crypto wealth. That is why so many different bitcoin and crypto platforms came out in western countries and in Asia. The boom presented a funny situation though, regardless of who made money off the boom or who lost, it was Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Australia who had the biggest stakes. All continents except Africa. Africa, too poor for crypto? YES. The answer to the question above is yes. African countries, except for a select few at this time, have no hat in the ring for crypto purely because the vast majority of African countries are impoverished. Many for different reasons others for the same reasons, does not matter. Broke is broke. No matter how you got broke you are still broke at the end of the day. Relative to the population of the continent and in comparison to the other continents, the African continent has the lowest household disposable income. This is not just common knowledge for Africans but backed by the study done by Christoph Lakner in 2013 under the title “ ” for the Centre for the Study of African Economies (CSAE). How do African incomes compare to the rest of the world? When already living in countries where it is tough to make money day to day, expendable income for luxuries is vigorously sought for and does not come easily. As such when it is attained it is carefully calculated and spent on necessities and solemnly on luxuries. A lot of western people saw crypto and by extension web3 space as a way to make expendable income to buy luxuries and even then the return on investment was initially sporadic, uncertain and given to chance. To go to a person in a third world country, in Africa, and to tell them they need to spend their rare very hard worked for extra bit of money on a currency that no one can see, that is in a virtual system, that return on investment is occasional at best and that they have a extremely rare chance at any sort of profit. That is something that is not viable for them. At all. At the time of the 2020 crypto boom in Africa you would have been scorned, ridiculed and bullied for even having the notion that it was a viable way to make money. Crypto being such an elusive concept to most poorer people, the subject would not be given the time to be learnt properly by most people. To add to that, Africans did not get involved due to seeing the fallout of people’s profits in the western world. They continuously lost large sums of money from these cryptos. The icing on the cake to this mass economic fallout was made worse by the now infamous brothers known as Ameer and Raees Cajee. The Cajee brothers both being from South Africa started the Fintech company called AfriCrypt in 2020. A bitcoin buying platform. At the time they were hailed as innovative and credited with “bringing financial freedom to Africa” by having an African founded company allowing Africans to finally buy crypto and opening the Web3 space to Africa. The celebrations soon turned sour. In April of 2021 the brothers stole all the bitcoin from their company by emptying out all of its users wallets, including that of the investors. 3.2 Billion dollars worth of bitcoin was stolen at that time. The brothers have still not been caught. The company initially gave hope to Africans but after it ended it left a cruel, bitter and unwanted taste of the crypto world in a lot of potential Africans considering using crypto or any blockchain, web3 technology. But then how long can this bitterness last? Will there be another company even better than Africrypt? Will Africans resist the future of Web3 just because of that bad experience? (left is Ameer Cajee and right is Raees Cajee) The entry of YellowCard (YellowCards Nigerian team with the YellowCard COO in the center) The bitterness people felt because of the Cajee brothers incident did not last long. There is a company better than AfriCrypt, and it is YellowCard.  YellowCard is simply a cryptocurrency buying platform. But it is currently Africa’s most prominent crypto exchange platform. It even came out earlier than AfriCrypt. YellowCard’s founding goes back to 2015. YellowCard was founded by Chris Maurice and Justin Pouriox with Chris being the company’s current CEO. Although the company is not founded by Africans this does not mean it cannot be for Africans. Most of their company is African operated and this is increasing gradually as they expand due to the increased funding they have received. After initially launching in Nigeria they are now in 13 more African countries for a total of 14 in total, this number is most likely soon to increase in the next few years as crypto aspirants throughout the continent are looking for apps like YellowCard and other Decentralised Finance apps to engage with. The countries Yellow Card is available in are almost all of the East African Community (EAC) countries except for Burundi, some of the Southern African Development Countries (SADC), A few of the Economic Community of West Africa countries (ECOWAS), A few of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) countries as well. Although only inhabiting 14 countries out of the 54 the 14 countries it inhabits almost every region of the continent. The company has recently attained a 15 million USD grant in series A funding by investors such as Block with CEO being co-founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey, Blockchain.com and CoinBase, just to name a few. All invested into this fintech company to increase YellowCards development, expansion and by extension continued normalisation of the DeFi, fintech and even web3 sphere to Africans. Since the start of Covid-19 in 2020 until now, the time of writing this, YellowCard has disclosed that their user pool has increased at least 30X times than what it previously was before 2020. They have yet to disclose the current daily or monthly user rate to the public but seeing as investors were privy to these fine details and still invested to grant them series A funding, then that is indicative that the  user rate is more than satisfactory for their rate of expansion thus more than reasonable for Jack Dorsey’s Block and other investors to invest in. In the current tech environment of Africa people are increasingly getting involved in different areas of the industry, specifically Web3, Fintech and DeFi. All in hopes to expand their expendable income or even their total income. YellowCard is a service that by design and execution is allowing and promoting this action. This is not to say everyone will profit or everyone will get rich or even that there wont be anyone who loses profit. YellowCard app is only as effective as the person using it. Even though they did not use excellent platforms like QuickNode to help build their app and scale it, like other tech startup companies have done. They have and are still well on their way to being an African tech powerhouse!

YellowCard, The Crypto Ambition of Africa

The abbreviation OTC stands for Over-the-Counter, which means special trading/exchange service for institutional investors, which allows the purchase of investment assets (e.g. stocks) or cryptocurrencies, bypassing the standard exchange/marketplace procedure.  Based on “most popular conception of OTC trading revolves around massive off-market deals, like when companies such as MicroStrategy make multi million-dollar purchases using OTC desks run by Coinbase or Kraken.” Cointelegraph review Main attributes for crypto OTC deals Although, as we said above, an OTC exchange involves an exchange outside of an exchange or exchange stack, from an AML perspective, it's the amount of the transaction that matters - it's usually spelled out on these companies' websites as an exchange above $50,000 dollars. African crypto exchange Yellow Card in its divides two different OTC trading markets: Principal OTC trading (trading with own funds of principal) and Agency OTC Trading (using 3rd party funds). review According to provided research of different OTC desks we may classify them in 3 large groups by their business activity: -OTC desks owned by crypto platforms -Online OTC desks -Offline OTC desks Which jurisdictions large cryptoplatforms use for OTC exchange? has described companies, which it is using for OTC operations: for Canadian and US users it’s FORIS DAX (registered in Canada) and for all other countries - CRO DAX Limited registered on Cayman Islands. Crypto.com In the we have no information which license is used for OTC trading. However in the list of companies in Annex F there is information that one of these licensed isn’t used for OTC. So probably it means that other companies in the list CAN offer OTC desk and 2 main companies which offer any Kraken services to EEA citizens - are registered in BVA. Kraken user agreement According Binance we have no details which entities does it especially use for OTC deals exactly. However, at least it has 1 company having “OTC” in its title - FiveWest OTC Desk (Pty) Limited registered in South Africa. Coinbase ассording to provides OTC services through special platform for institutional investors - Coinbase Exchange (previously Coinbase Prime). Operations are provided by 2 licensed entities - Coinbase Inc (USA) and Coinbase Custody International Limited (Ireland). information on its website Bitstamp exchange has launched in 2022, it has no 3rd party OTC provider with amount of orders between $50,000 - $500,000. Main companies providing services are registered on BVA, Luxembourhg, UK. OTC desk Bybit provides for crypto - USDT trading services (no fiat exchange) with maximum amount - $3,8 mln USDT per 1 transction. These and other services on Bybit website are provided by the company Bybit Fintech Limited registered in the UK in April 2023. Interestingly, on this platform, OTC is simply a sub-species of P2P trading for large sums and the platform acts as an agent for this exchange. The OTC desk on Kucoin and MEXC is organized in a similar way. OTC trading OTC desk - minimal amount for 1 order is $200,000 and it also works through p2p agent scheme. also provides an agent scheme and abilty to trade instantly with partner OTC trader - Bill Brindise. Gate exchange Bitfinex Yellow Card has OTC desks in the following counties: Ghana, Uganda, Cameroon and South Africa. Other OTC providers Also we’ve observed some online platforms promoting themselves as special OTC platforms and operating in the following jurisdictions: ZondaCrypto (Switzerland, Estonia, Poland, Slovakia) Encryptus (Australia, UAE, Estonia ) Bitcoin Reserve (Estonia) Coinspaid (Estonia, Lithuania, Poland) HashKey (Japan, HonkKong) Enigma (United Kingdom) Merkeleon (Austria) Coinsfera (UAE) FalconX (USA, Malta, United Kingdom) CoinMotion (Finland) Independent Reserves (Australia, Singapore) Offline OTC exchange In this article we have gathered more information about OTC transactions that take place online, but they are also conducted offline - for cash or non-cash payment. The most information about legal offline exchanges that conduct transactions for these amounts in such jurisdictions as Hong Kong and UAE. Exchanges operating there legally also position themselves as platforms for OTC transactions. Some OTC exchanges operating in Hong Kong are collected in this list provided on . Bitget's website In the future, it would be interesting to study what percentage of exchanges are not only online OTC in countries where crypto is regulated, but also in countries with weak regulation - e.g. Armenia, Moldova, Russia, Turkey. In many countries of the world there are no clear AML requirements for the exchange of cryptocurrencies. Because of this, gray exchange for large amounts is actively developed in them. This is an important factor that strongly influences the global cryptocurrency market. Licensing of OTC desks Basic approach that in most jurisdictions there is no OTC trading license. This type of activity is regulated as a standard crypto exchange or currency exchange approach. The vast majority of existing OTC desks operate under a VASP license as online platforms and cryptocurrency exchange companies. The fact that transactions are conducted in OTC format does not affect the required type of license, only imposes additional AML requirements. In some cases, they may operate as brokers or offline exchanges (in countries where offline exchangers require a different type of license than VASPs). Conclusion The regulation of OTC exchange and its separation into a separate type of cryptocurrency transactions is relatively recent and is still in the formation stage. Based on our research we may conclude the following facts about OTC exchange: You need a VASP license to provide OTC exchange List of most popular jurisdictions for OTC exchange mostly matches the list of jurisdictions with the best regulation of cryptocurrencies and VASP licensing procedures Agency OTC does not seem to require any special licensing, while standard OTC using the company's own funds necessarily requires a VASP or broker license The same requirements and restrictions apply to the regulation of OTC exchanges as to regular exchanges from an AML perspective. However, in some cases there may be additional compliance requirements as for online exchange of large sums of money In some jurisdictions (e.g. USA) you must have institutional investor status to access OTC exchange. This research is not the truth in the last instance, we have only presented the facts that we managed to establish, if you found any inaccuracies or you have your own opinion - feel free to write me on or .

Prominent Crypto Wallets in The African Space

What do professional athletes have in common with a startup team? Exceptional projects are never the result of a lone genius – it’s instead a collective of brilliant minds. Still, when it comes to assembling a dream team, many struggle to find an efficient strategy. Startups shape their destiny by asking the right questions to the candidates and assessing their skills effectively during interviews. But what if 75% of what they do is not right, no matter how hard they try? At Educate Online, we've implemented an efficient process we’d like to share. But first things first, time to think about one key thing we did that we highly recommend doing before building your team: 1. Determine your startup core values Let us introduce brief guidelines on how one can make up their list of company values: Company values guide behavior and foster a robust organizational culture. After determining them, you can gradually integrate them into the hiring process. In Educate Online, we prioritized our values and the foundation we base our hiring process on. We managed and continued building a team of strong professionals with the same values. We’ve noticed how it helps us be on the same page and work shoulder-to-shoulder. Here are the values we base our hiring on: Do what makes sense; Be agile; Treat the company as your own; Give and get feedback; Test and learn. 2. Base job interview questions on your values Do the right interview questions improve your chances of finding eligible candidates? They do. Let's break them down into three key categories: All these categories help you assess the candidate in the most thorough manner possible. Consider this: It's crucial to evaluate soft skills (effective communication, desire for personal growth, etc.) and hard skills (working with hypotheses, analytics, etc.) Remember, your questions serve as means to identify the answers you're looking for: Ask directly so that you can quickly reveal whether a candidate is an excellent fit for the team; Demand real-life examples from their experience and their most remarkable achievements (e.g., when asking about hypotheses, learn how they formulated them and what tools they used); Go beyond trivial questions, and learn about recent initiatives they've spearheaded and the obstacles they've encountered and overcome. 3. Dig deeper to uncover the truth Several tools guide you if you want to go beyond resumes and interviews. If you want to get a more comprehensive picture of your candidates, that's where tools like Gallup and Wingfinder can help. offers assessments that reveal candidates' natural talents and motivations. This gives you a deeper understanding of their potential. It's like having a superpower detector! Gallup , initially designed for pilots, is now applicable to any role. It assesses candidates’ cognitive abilities, personality traits, and motivation levels. Wingfinder Let’s compare the tools: So, how do you use the apps to their full capacity? Apart from the apps, one more opportunity you may use to learn more about a candidate is to ask their previous employer, manager, or subordinate for more info: Here are some questions you may ask… What place would this person take if you were to top your subordinates? Why? How often did they carry out their plans? If they did not, what was the reason? How much impact has this person had on the growth of the company? Why? …to an employee if their ex-boss is your candidate: If you were to list the top executives, what place would this person take? Why? What management rituals and practices did you have on your team? How do you rate your growth during your time working with this man? 4. Hire quickly and fire even faster A startup has little to do with a nursery where we can patiently groom individuals, correct their mistakes, and hope for results. At Educate Online, we made the mistake of thinking that our candidates' hard skills were the most important thing, and we didn’t pay much attention to other aspects. How did it turn out for us? Well, we needed approximately a month to discover that many of our new employees didn’t have the soft skills required for the jobs they were hired for, and more than that, we did not share the same values. As a result, we wasted ! time hiring, onboarding, and subsequently firing people who did not fit into our work environment. We even once fired more than five people in one month Remember these three key points: What if you failed and now feel you must make some changes? It is a world where quick decision-making is the key. Think of it more like a soccer game with professional athletes. You might receive two yellow cards, but a red card warrants immediate action. Sometimes, you don't have to wait for two yellow cards. Often, the problem lies not in hasty or incorrect hiring decisions but rather in the failure to correct a wrong decision promptly. Remember, 75% of hires may be bad, and the damage increases when we hold onto that 25% for too long. Act decisively, and let your team's success soar to new heights. All in all, the hiring process has proven to be one of the most crucial when building a team. You don't have to stick to the script in this article but feel free to adapt and create your interview style. It might seem difficult initially, but after 5-10 interviews, you'll find yourself expertly riding the wave.

初创公司招聘时如何表现出色

Somewhere between the dreamy Zuzalu and the buzzing ETH summer events in Prague, Barcelona, and Paris, I stumbled upon the opportunity to chat with Manu Alzuru . A beautiful kaleidoscope of identities, Manu stands as a humanist, engineer, nomad, and passionate enthusiast for blockchain, web3, governance, DAOs, co-ops, and NFTs. Guided both by data and optimism, Manu is the force behind projects such as DoinGud , EthBarcelona , Own.fund , MetaCartel , and Api3 DAO . As a self-proclaimed lovepunk, he is known in the entire web3 community for his “gud” vibes. During our conversation, Manu revealed his exploration into the intriguing world of decentralized identity and discussed the upcoming, highly-anticipated EthBarcelona. This is how it went. Manu, what are you working on these days? So many things! My main focus right now is . From production to curation and even sponsor outreach, I'm involved in all aspects. Then, there’s DoingGud. It’s my labor of love, and I’ve been working to keep it afloat during the present market conditions, which, as you know, have been far from ideal—especially for . It's challenging, but we are resilient, always working to find ways to keep pushing forward. EthBarcelona NFTs At the same time, we’re developing a protocol that’s going to enable us to self-issue identities. Imagine a world where you have the power to define who you are without external entities like companies or governments dictating it for you. As an individual, you can confidently declare, "This is me!" You can explore your passions, interests, and more, and others can vouch for you and your reputation. That way, your reputation is not some arbitrary number given by a company or organization. It's a genuine testament to your unique identity, built on your own terms. That’s exciting! How does the vouching work? Sure, let's think of it like this: I believe in my mum; I know she's wonderful and always introduces me to people who could potentially enhance my work. If she suggests meeting someone, I'd likely take her advice. But, suppose she recommends someone who doesn't quite measure up, my trust in her may go down a bit. And, if it happens again, my faith in her recommendations could decrease even further. This concept of trust management is all about us having control over our networks and the things that matter to us. It's different from a company assigning a social score or implementing a rigid system like China's social credit system or the "Nosedive" episode from Black Mirror. Our approach is more nuanced and contextual. For example, if I see you as a reputable journalist and you vouch for other journalists, I would trust your judgment. Trust builds upon trust, creating a robust network of connections. We brought this concept to life during Zuzalu. We came together with Adrian Guerrera and other Blockravers who started working on this vouching protocol to help us coordinate events and real-life experiences. Really? Is event organization what gave you this idea in the first place? Yes, it’s quite a funny story, actually… It all started back at Devcon V, in Osaka, in 2019. All places would close early, so around 1 am, I would get a lot of texts: “Manu! What’s the plan? Where can we go?” and I was like, “Hmm, I might as well create a group!” And so, Blockravers was born. I'd direct people to a location, and we'd coordinate within the group, typically 20-30 people. Soon, it began to spread worldwide, and we started organizing parties. Companies noticed and invited Blockravers to be part of their events, offering us free tickets. We became the curators of gud vibes. :) This continued during Devcon in Colombia (with some epic dance battles!). At EthDenver, we even decided to rent a party house. The house was open every day, with people coming and going, but there was a catch—to enter, you had to be vouched for by someone else. We realized the need for this system because public spaces have limited space and resources. So, we initiated this vouching system, fostering a sense of accountability and respect for our shared spaces. Then, one day, someone graffitied a wall at one of our parties. The person who had vouched for the offender stepped forward, apologized, and promised to take responsibility. Obviously, we had our rules—if someone causes damage, harasses others, or behaves in a racist or homophobic manner, they would be expelled from the group. The person who vouched for them would also receive a yellow card—two yellow cards, they’d be out, too. The same applied to Zuzalu. We rented a house where people could come and go, but they had to be vouched for first. We even developed an application initially using Venezuelan Bolivares' serial numbers as unique identifiers for self-issued identities. After handing out over 153 Venezuelan banknotes, other Zuzalu residents wanted to participate, too, so we decided to let anyone with a banknote register and build up their trust. The serial numbers, along with a photo, became a way of saying, "This is me," enabling us to really build out this network of trust! As we continued experimenting with the system, we added a new rule: To attend the next party, you needed at least three vouches. So yeah, all our work with identity, reputation, and vouching systems began with parties! But it certainly doesn’t end there—the concept can be extended to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations ( ), governance, verification, and more. I can see it fitting well with any community, too, when it comes to token distribution. We could issue rewards to actual humans, people who genuinely engage with us, or those who've been part of the Blockravers journey. They are the ones who bring the vibes, help out, and contribute to this vibrant community! DAOs Love it! What makes you so passionate about solving identity problems? Well, it hit me just a few weeks ago. As it stands today, identities are handed down to us. It's the nation-states, companies, universities, or certain influential individuals that stamp their approval on our identity. Consider Facebook; they grant you an "ID" in the form of a Facebook username. Even in the realm, platforms like Worldcoin scan your retina to issue you an identity. In essence, these entities become monarchs in their own right. If they decide they don't like you, they kick you out of the kingdom. This isn't a human-first approach; it's company-first. web3 Don’t you find this fundamentally flawed? In my view, individuals should be the ones to declare their own identity, with others attesting to it. It should be you who determines who joins your network, who you trust, and who gets access to various facets of your identity. You might decide, "I trust this person, so they can access my Instagram, my Signal, or my phone number." But it should be you who has the control. What I find unsettling is the potential for companies issuing identities to become authoritarian or align with authoritarian regimes. That idea really sends chills down my spine. So, I’m working on a solution where the individual retains control, shaping the landscape of their identity and connecting with others on their own terms. What are some things we can do with self-issued identity? The idea is that the more vouches you have, the more trusted you are within the network. This opens up many opportunities, from under-collateralized loans to bartering. If I have a trust network and an apartment in Berlin, and you have a place in Prague, you might propose, “Hey Manu, I have got this friend, good people.” If I trust you, I believe in your good judgment. I could then let your friend stay in my place without hesitation because of your recommendation. This could facilitate value exchange, bypassing the traditional middlemen (typically a government, company, or institution), and it could even lead us to exchange new forms of currency. Maybe my Berlin apartment is 100m², while your Prague apartment is twice that size. And perhaps Berlin is pricier… But all that’s irrelevant! All I want is to engage in an exchange with you. Price tags fade into the background; this approach allows us, as humans, to navigate and trade more seamlessly with those we trust. How could these dynamics play out in, say, DAOs? I might say, “I have complete faith in Tereza to handle any communications-related matters that might arise in the DAO.” I’ve just delegated trust. This ability means someone else can execute your intentions. Let's say I'm elected as a delegate in a DAO. But, hold on, Manu doesn't know a thing about security. So why should I be voting on it? Perhaps, as the delegate, I can shift power to those I trust for specific tasks or decisions. If a city is rebuilding its entire plumbing system, would you want every citizen to make decisions about it? Not everyone has the expertise or experience required, so not everything needs to be determined democratically. We need systems that enable us to delegate trust. This concept also applies to political representation. But without accountability and transparency, we’ll never get there. Voting for a deputy without knowing how they represent you? It's puzzling. But DAOs have changed this landscape. Proposals and interactions are usually public or recorded for future verification. This ensures accountability, which is often lacking in traditional systems. So, are you looking to implement networks of trust at EthBarcelona as well? Absolutely! We’re planning to further experiment with the vouching app for sure. And we’re excited to explore many other exciting initiatives, such as quadratic funding rounds. It’s no secret that this year's market conditions are challenging. While our EthBarcelona event last year was a huge success, we acknowledge that there were opportunities to enhance our financial management. Sponsorships have been slower to come in than last year, presenting additional challenges, but we remain determined to keep moving forward. Last year, we had a clear focus on public goods. This year, we aim to broaden our lens, maintaining our emphasis on public goods but also highlighting the importance of privacy. It will be both a solarpunk and lunarpunk event, you could say. I haven’t heard of lunarpunk yet. Can you tell us more? I’m probably biased here, haha. About five years ago, I came across the term “solarpunk” and found it resonated deeply with me, as it emphasized using technology for the greater good of humanity—it’s a very optimistic perspective. Then, the more mystical lunarpunk narrative emerged. Its critique of solarpunk is that it has been overlooking privacy issues. And that most solarpunks tend to be white, male, and hailing from the US or Europe, meaning that they could enjoy certain privileges that might make privacy less of a concern. It's easy to neglect privacy when one hasn't experienced life under a totalitarian regime or oppression. That said, the generalized idea that all solarpunks dismiss privacy concerns fails to capture the diversity within the movement. I’m not a big fan of the desire to draw lines and categorize: "This is solar. This is lunar." And what’s your personal take on all that? The creator of lunarpunk, Rachel O'Leary, is actually one of my good friends now. We ended up connecting in Barcelona, shared our perspectives, and ended up realizing we had more common ground than we . initially thought Rachel began to recognize that her critique of certain entities, like Gitcoin, was due to the fact that many in these circles haven't experienced oppression. She found there are optimists who are aware of the world's realities and others who are optimists because they choose to be. Seeing it from this lens made me stop calling myself a solarpunk. Now, I prefer to call myself a lovepunk. This term has been generating curiosity since I started promoting it recently. I always encourage people to form their own interpretation of it because if we rigidly box something, we’ll face the solarpunk vs. lovepunk problem again.  But, in essence, punks tend to challenge the norm. They reject mainstream values, have a confrontational stance against authority and social conformity, and embrace individuality, self-expression, and non-conventional approaches to music and culture. So, with love, the goal is to make radical love the norm. We need to make embracing love cool. Lovepunks reject traditional societal norms and expectations surrounding love, romance, and relationships. Instead, we prioritize authenticity, individuality, and mutual respect in our interactions with others. Thanks for sharing that. Can attendees at EthBarcelona look forward to some lovepunk vibes? What other things do you have in store? You bet, lots of lovepunk energy! We're passionate about inclusivity and will offer free tickets to students and those who might not have the means to pay for a ticket. Essentially, sponsors someone else to attend the event for free. every ticket sold But even though we want to be positive, we also want to make sure we’re highlighting the challenges and negatives of web3. It’s really about recognizing the existence of both good and evil in the world and the need for consciousness and awareness. Last year, we were brimming with positivity—then the market took a nosedive, and things went downhill. We need to acknowledge how such developments shape the bigger picture, too. This year’s EthBarcelona continues to celebrate the ethos that drew many of us to the crypto space—human freedom. Many other events are driven by money and DeFi. But we’re not here to replicate the very system we aim to transform—at least not me!

Manu Alzuru 专访：论自我发布的身份、EthBarcelona 和 Lovepunk

Short Version: Music is a pretty good thing. Now-days most people work to or with music on (shout out to headphone technology and streaming), these are the four songs/albums that 90% of my work is done listening to: . — . — & . — . (Live from the royal Albert Hall) — 1) We Flood Empty Lakes Yindi Halda 2) Shelter Porter Robinson Madeon 3) Welcome Home Radical Face 4) Oh No Bring Me The Horizon Long Version: When streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify first emerged it changed my relationship to music. I was always (and still am) an album guy, I like to buy an album and listen to it all the way through on repeat for about a month + then move onto a new album or explore an old one again. This was a really fun way of listening and appreciating music especially because I would buy the album….yes I know, I was one of those people who actually paid for music — rare ;). But with streaming services, everything literally everything was just there and the price/payment barrier was removed. So kid in the candy store I downloaded more music then I could ever listen to and stopped going through the album and experiencing the story/journey of the songs. Hating the pre made playlist crap that the streaming services push i’ve returned to my album listening ways after my initial splurge and these are the four songs (and albums, these are just the picks of those albums for me, and yes I do realise that one of those songs is from a single) that have stood the test of my listening time and are constantly revisisted, especially when doing work. I’d have to estimate that 90% of all emails, pitch decks, advertising materials, plans, strategy papers and general fluffing around I do is done with their influences. So big thanks to Yindi Halda, Porter and Madeon, Radical Face & Be Me The Horizon for your beautiful contributions. Below is the list again with a little blurb about the song and the honourable mentions list! — .We Flood Empty Lakes is an instrumental by a band that are a fusion of rock and folk. It almost plays itself twice with similar build ups and bridges. It reminds me a lot of a movie, great start, big middle scene, similar build up to the ending but then POW a great ending. 1). We Flood Empty Lakes Yindi Halda I first heard this song on a fuelTV commercial in 2009 and we have been friends ever since. Shelter Album Cover . — & .Shelter was the first release from friends Porter Robinson and Madeon. Both Porter and Madeon appear to be on a mission to take EDM to new heights, most notable Porter removed a number of his early releases earlier this year un-happy that he had released that music. Shelter was a huge hit and was then accompanied by an amazing . It will never not put me in a good mode or help me crack on with what I am doing. 2) Shelter Porter Robinson Madeon short animation film Radical Face Album Cover . — .Yes, it is totally that song from those Nikon camera commercials! I heard this song whilst looking at the album cover and the sound of the bells and wind followed by that progressive guitar riff make you feel as if you are one of those birds flying away. Ben (the guy behind Radical Face) captures a sound in this track that I don’t think I could ever tire of, it is the sound of his surroundings and wow is it perfect. 3) Welcome Home Radical Face Bring Me The Horizon Live at the Albert Hall Album Cover . (Live from the royal Albert Hall) — You find me another metal band that can play with a 47-piece symphony orchestra plus a 14 person choir and sound that good I will send you a dollar (seriously!). Oh No, is the final track from the live album. The song is a deep look into addiction but also the recovery. The line “ ” talks straight to the slippery slope of addiction, a theme all too relevant for lead singer Oli (now clean). The performance that the guys put on alongside the Parallax Orchestra and conductor Simon Dobson took both metal and live music to a new height. Hearing the crowd chant the chorus ‘OoooOhhhhh Noooooo’ as the songs finishes is one of the most powerful goosebump producing sounds I have heard and in those 9 minutes I am truly in a flow state like no other. 4) Oh No Bring Me The Horizon Don’t call it a party, ‘cause it never stops Honourable mentions (albums and songs): Porter Robinson — Worlds Album & Language single Wolves — Phosphorescent, song The Gray Chapter — Slipknot, Album When you’re Through Thinking, Say Yes (acoustic) — Yellow Card Mellon Collie And the Infinite Sadness — Album 1). 2). 3). 4). 5).

French National Football Team Celebrates Winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup (photo: ) @FIFAWorldCup One day after Bastille Day, the French National Football Team ( ) emerged as the 2018 FIFA World Cup champions. France defeated Croatia by a score of 4–2 in the Final match on July 15. It was the highest-scoring World Cup Final since England beat West Germany in 1966. (the official name of the French team) won the World Cup once before: 20 years ago when they hosted the on their home soil. Équipes de France de Football Les Bleus tournament The 2018 French team fielded exceptional players, including midfielder and the sensational young striker . During the World Cup, Mbappé scored 4 goals in the 7 matches that France played. At just 19 years of age, Mbappé is the second-youngest player to score a goal in a World Cup Final match. (The youngest was Pele, who was 17 when he scored in the 1958 World Cup Final.) Paul Pogba Kylian Mbappé But football — or , as it’s known in the U.S. — is a team sport. A player can only make a shot on goal if the team enables the opportunity. This is well-known by , the coach of Les Bleus who was also a player on the French 1998 championship team. Deschamps is only the third man who has won the World Cup as both a player and a coach. soccer Didier Deschamps On Deschamps’ coaching, the made this observation: New York Times His 2018 team will not be remembered as the most elegant champions, or the most creative. Instead, it will be remembered for what it was: a team of exceptional talent and ruthless efficiency, a group in which every player knew his job and performed it flawlessly… France was not so much great as fundamentally outstanding: a team of top-class talents willing to sublimate their individual games to a collective mission. Each football squad fields 11 players on the pitch at a given time. The individual positions run the gamut from (100% defense), backfield positions like and (mostly defense), (mixture of offense & defense), and forwards such as and (almost entirely offense). It’s the combination of play from the entire team that determines victory or defeat. As noted in , Deschamps reverted to “a more disciplined and pragmatic approach which meant shackling some of their extraordinary attacking talents” in coaching his squad. Deschamps struck the right balance: coaching both for individual performance as well as overall team results. goalkeeper sweepers stoppers midfielders wingers strikers The Telegraph It’s crucial for any coach to objectively look at key player stats, focusing on those that are relevant for each position. The official offers a collection of statistics on every player in the tournament: FIFA World Cup website (goals scored, penalties scored, etc.) Goals (total attempts, attempts on-target, attempts off-target, shots blocked, shots from free kick, etc.) Attempts (assists, total passes, passes completed, crosses attempted, crosses completed, corners, etc.) Passing, Crossing & Dribbling (tackles, tackles won, lost balls, tackles suffered, recovered balls, clearances, blocks, saves, save rate, goal kicks successfully reaching a teammate) Defending (red cards, yellow cards, fouls committed, fouls causing penalty, fouls suffered, offsides) Fouls, Offsides & Discipline Among these metrics, some categories ( , ) are only relevant to players on offense. The metrics in the category are most relevant to midfielders and defensive positions. metrics can apply to most positions. And all players can be evaluated against the statistics. As an example from Les Bleus, the player stats for (goalkeeper) look very different from those of (midfielder) and also (striker). Goals Attempts Defending Passing, Crossing & Dribbling Fouls, Offsides & Discipline Hugo Lloris Paul Pogba Kylian Mbappé Player Metrics Across 3 Very Different Positions A strong coach will identify and communicate the appropriate measurements with his players — so they can strive for higher levels of performance. Ultimately the job of any coach is to: Identify the levers of individual performance. Provide the environment and the training to affect these performance levers. Coach & develop each Team Member to operate at their highest level. Educate the entire Team on how their combination of skills inter-operate. Coordinate the performance of the team on the field to achieve their collective purpose. A coach that accomplishes all of the above is on the path to creating a high-performance team. Effective coaching requires: gathering relevant performance data, identifying the best techniques for each position, and enforcing discipline in the execution of every role. The team may not always enjoy the work of a strong coach, but they will appreciate the results. Coach Didier Deschamps thrown in the air by Les Bleus. (photo: , ) Thanassis Stavrakis AP Similarly, an Engineering Manager is the coach of the team. Just like a football coach, an Engineering Manager is trying to field the best team based on the roster. Managers should constantly review their team roster, in the following ways: recruiting new individuals to fill gaps on their existing team. identifying individuals that no longer complement the rest of the team Simultaneously, an Engineering Manager should coach everyone currently on their roster to greater levels of performance. Growing individuals to the best of their abilities will increase the likelihood of the team achieving its purpose: Engineering teams are comprised of many different roles, which can take the form of distinct disciplines: Development, QA, Data, Platform, Tooling, Architecture, Ops/DevOps. Just like a football coach, an Engineering Manager should be able to identify metrics that are relevant to each role on their team. Creating a shared understanding of appropriate metrics allows a Manager to coach Engineers to higher-levels of proficiency and responsibility. Engineering Managers should be able to identify data points that can measure the technical expertise, delivery & execution of their team members. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of metrics that one might consider: pull requests merged pull requests reviewed bugs or support tickets touched open source contributions delivery of workshops / tech talks / lunch & learns test cases authored % automated test passing rate % committed Epics completed in Quarter … and many more, but “lines of code”! NOT Keep in mind, many factors should determine whether an individual is the right person for your roster. Engineers need to be able to collaborate with their peers while working in the context of the company. Overall team fit should incorporate some (or all) of the following: Business & Domain Knowledge, Technical Expertise, Quality Mindset, Delivery & Execution, Culture & Leadership potential. Managers need to coach team members both on they do and they do it: WHAT HOW (Technical Expertise, Delivery & Execution) “What” Engineers Deliver (Business & Domain Knowledge, Quality Mindset, Culture & Leadership potential) “How” Engineers Deliver A few days prior to the World Cup Final, I had the privilege of participating at , a summit for Engineering Leaders organized by . In my role as a mentor, I facilitated a workshop titled which attracted individuals and managers of varying levels. The conversation was rich, and participants had many motivations for discussing this topic. Here are some of the (paraphrased) questions and ideas that were stated by the group: Elevate Plato “Assessing the Performance of Your Engineers” How do I know if an Engineer is ramping-up at an adequate pace? How can I determine if an Engineer is underperforming for their level? How do I normalize performance ratings across teams? Across levels? How do I know if an Engineer is the right fit for my organization? One of my Engineers is a prolific coder, but doesn’t consider the impact of his work on other teams. Is that underperformance? I want to create a high-performing team, not a collection of individuals that work in silos. How do I measure an Engineer’s impact on making others more productive? I’m about to become a manager. How do I evaluate my team members? I’m an individual, but interested in what it means to be considered high-performing. Communication in a team environment is critical. If a project is going off-the-rails, that information should be shared immediately as it has impacts on the rest of the team (and the company). Ultimately there’s no single “right answer” on how to assess the performance of your engineers. An Engineer that is thriving in one environment may struggle in another — subject to any of the following factors: stage of company, business domain, size of team, company culture, and overall team composition. Engineering Managers need an analytical approach to performance management and the ability to evaluate the “soft” skills of collaboration, motivation, and culture fit in a dynamic business context. Being the coach of an Engineering team is complicated, but your team (and your CEO) will celebrate your success. Game on!
