Thomas Scaria is the co-founder and CEO of Lore. Where communities turn social energy into collective power.

Thomas worked right around the edges of crypto adoption at Wyre, leading expansion to the defi and NFT ecosystem. Before then was a Sr Investment Associate at Citi. Since April 2020 his focus has been on Lore.

They are about to launch V2 with an app for collective crowdfunding for initiatives, media, and missions. Lore V2 introduces a modular protocol that covers the entire lifecycle of community capital formation, coordination, and allocation. Explore communities and mint Membership NFTs. Make things happen with internet friends.

We talk about SocialFi and Thomas’ thoughts about friend.tech. How Robinwood paved the way for what we’re seeing today in crypto and NFT markets. Crypto as a counterculture movement. Internet subcultures and group chats. Building collectives to take action together.

How the web3 movement might address realities that a great many internet people are outright hostile to NFTs and crypto. Start changing people’s minds by doing cool shit, using the internet in new ways.
