Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
1. Real-world company utility tokens
95% of tokens in crypto have no real purpose. So, is tokenisation a meme? Not at all. Tascha explains how traditional companies can benefit from utility tokens.
2. Crypto winter thoughts
Tom is a crypto veteran and has shared some valuable thoughts on what he thinks happens next.

The narrative of blockchain based games rose to prominence this cycle, with gaming being touted as the vehicle to onboard millions of new users into crypto. Robbie, co-founder of Immutable, offers some thoughts on what problems need to be solved for web3 gaming to really take off.

4. Web3 observations
Fintech Junkie has a long series of very interesting thoughts regarding web3. We can’t all just sit here drinking the Kool-Aid, we need to be critical of the things that are holding the industry back. It’s a fascinating long read, but well worth diving into all of his observations.

5. EVM 101
Most people have heard of the EVM, but actually don’t have the faintest clue how it works. Benjamin has put together a great thread to explain it for you.
