Just so you know, gasoline becomes unusable after about a year so all those apocalypse movies with gas are really reaching factually.

The AI boom will primarily benefit those with an understanding of AI. You'll see the opportunities sooner and dodge the red herrings more often. Play with MJ, GPT, DeepSeek, Hugging Face. Can't overstate the importance of adjacency.

Learning the difference between mechanical glitches/tube bending/vhs, digital glitches via hex or code manipulation, and glitch effects in post will separate great art and collections from the rest

If people knew how easy it is to make something that resembles art now, they’d talk more about concept.

Challenge anyone to justify why gold or gems inherently deserve more value than memecoins. If value hinges on societal consensus, both are equally arbitrary and valid.

Price isn’t what keeps the masses away from collecting digital art. Zora tried it, Rodeo is trying it. It’s not a price issue, it’s a percieved value issue we collectively need to address.

Let's see someone build a tool for artists to create their own individual marketplace sites. Decentralization demands artists, not centralized entities, hold control over transactions, data, and presentation to create a truly open, artist-empowering ecosystem.

Sad to see MP fold. Good group of people there. That being said, decentralization requires tooling to empower individuals (see @manifoldxyz and @TransientLabs) or platforms to pivot to gallery/artist management models.

Artist rights matter. The freedom to transact should shield creators from being coerced into giving up control just to put their work on someone else’s platform. It’s on artists to stand up and secure these rights, no one will hand them over.

Flooding the market with thousands of cheap NFTs chips away at the very notion of digital scarcity that makes them collectible or ‘valuable’ in the first place.

Art matters more than provenance. History is filled with items—like stamps, cards, or forgotten art movements—whose provenance didn’t save them from fading away. Cultural relevance is what endures but without provenance, harder to attain cultural relevance with digital art.

Have $1m in vol on @opensea so should get a decent airdrop. Whatever I get, I’m going to use it to buy art from Syrian, Venezuelan, Cuban and Iranian artists banned from their platform. 🏴

Token-washing is the practice of issuing digital tokens with little substantive value as a veneer of innovation to improve an entity’s public image, while neglecting to address its underlying issues.

For at least the next decade, there’s no need to worry about quantum computers breaking our cryptographic systems (BTC/Eth). We’ve recently seen the factoring of 50 bit RSA and the new Willow quantum chip by Google, but this tech is far from compromising practical encryption. 🏴

No collector will stand in front of art they’ve collected and tell you why it looks cool. Art they can tell an interesting story about though… 🤌

Digital pulp art refers to artwork that is sensational and mass-produced, often perceived as cheap or lacking in artistic depth. This style prioritizes immediate visual impact over lasting cultural significance or critical acclaim. As a result, pulp art is seen as disposable entertainment.

Our digital community holds vast unrealized soft power - rooted in privacy, decentralization, and self-sovereignty. The recent success of crypto advocacy is just a taste of our capability to influence public discourse and direction. 🏴
