This is the second book that I have picked up related to crypto and blockchain recently, after the great Defi primer, and another great one I would say.

Book review – Defi and the future of finance – Must read!!!
I chanced upon this book at the local library, and it seems to be an easy read.

The need for a connected metaverse
https://digiday.com/media/why-nfts-must-be-transferable-between-platforms-for-the-industry-to-survive/amp/ Totally agree with the points presented in the article. It will surely hyperdrive adoption of NFT and metaverse once the interoperability issue is resolved.
