NFTimes2022 #34: BAYC Founder Buys IP, LimeWire Comes Back

Sandbox wants to build its own ecosystem and empire. Many American politicians are concerned about the legalization of Crypto.

Dear NFTimer,

Happy Women's History Month. I am so proud of every female builder in this field. This is a unique opportunity for us to build the foundation of web3 with the values ​​of inclusion. By changing power structures and giving voice to those who often don't have power, we can build a better internet, a better world, and a better future, not just for ourselves, but for our next generation. I applaud the women who are fighting to have freedom right now, but the work is far from done. 🦸🏽♀️Let's celebrate women, invest in women-led projects and companies, and highlight women's achievements. It is usually harder for women to earn money. As a woman, it's harder to get recognized or funded.

On International Women's Day, I participated in an NFT event organized by First Women of Excellence. It's awesome to see so many women working in crypto! I almost never come across a situation where there are more women than men. Heck, I'm usually the only female in a lot of situations.

I want to say I see you. I praise you. I appreciate you very much. ♥️Keep rocking, let's change the world together!

Also, I've been at SXSW all week - so, um,if you are there. Let's get up IRL. Next week's NFTimes will have news from Austin.
