Welcome to the first FOMO Friday! A weekly post where I round up my favorite threads, articles, Twitter spaces, and more from Crypto Twitter and the wider web.

My name is Lauren McDonagh-Pereira. I am a photographer, NFT artist, NFT collector, and web3 blogger. I have been fully immersed in the NFT art space since February 2022.

Read through my click disclaimer so we are all on the same page, and then we can get into this week's web3 buzz.
