Many accounts have been selectively banned, shutdown, etc. Many people still haven't been able to get their accounts turned back on. People I strongly disagree with their views but support their right to say them. Shadowbanning is rampant but no clarity as to why or how to fix.
Art is culture.
ENS is culture.
DeFi is culture.
Cats are culture.
Rugs are culture.
Apes are culture.
NFTs are culture.
Punks are culture.
Anons are culture.
Memes are culture.
Airdrops are culture.
A culture brought to you by Web3, all rights reserved, by us.

Complete boomer take. Explain how commuting 1-2hrs a day to sit at a desk just to validate that you're "working". Either people are productive or they're not. I've found that I actually work more hours when I am home because I am not in a rush to go home at the end of the day.
If you minted or bought a Bored Ape within the first days of launch you paid $230-$400. Today you could easily get ~$116K for any ape. That is life changing money to the vast majority of people in only 4 months. It is ok to sell any NFT to fundamentally change your life.
The
@Crypto_Skulls
dev held 7K skulls in his wallet and was pricing them manually a year ago. Dev currently has ~1900 of them still and has been dumping them. Team of people in a Spaces making verified false historic claims on top. This entire setup is wild and cringe.
Watching many of you behave like a bunch of Web2 lemmings trying to cancel ENS because of the terrible opinions and comments by a single individual on the ENS team is the most tragic part of all this. You've learned nothing and should probably take Web3 out of your profile.
The
#NFT
collectibles space is exploding but it isn't a zero sum game despite how some people behave. Collectibles cover many categories so the "us vs them" narratives should be ignored. Let us learn and explore π

Key takeaways:
β‘οΈSome platforms need to add IPFS/Arweave ASAP
β‘οΈNeed more split payment options due to collabs
β‘οΈBranded NFT tokens are great for the long term

Obviously Nate needs to be rehired asap. He would have known there was an issue well before all of us when he went to list the soon to be featured NFT on the front page.
Is crypto very male dominated? Yes.
Are WGMI if it stays that way? No.
Community -> Clubs -> Brands -> Culture
There's still a fundamental cultural shift that needs to occur in crypto which evolves how we speak, build and interact across all demographics.
People are seriously still minting on the OpenSea Shared Storefront contract when Manifold exists and gives you sovereignty over your art.
18 months ago this was ok. Today it is inexcusable.
Hot Take: Auction houses are not providing value to the NFT space. We just saw another punk auction flop. Went for 36% below tiara floor. They're tacking on 15%+ post hammer price and not delivering additional buyers or interest. They're no better than using OpenSea.
Mooncats look like the 2nd oldest

NFTs are broken into 3 main categories. Each could contain 1, 2 or all 3 categories depending on smart contract design. The vast majority of
#NFTs
today are defined as Collectibles and Experiences, not Licenses. That will expand over time.
I made a timeline that shows every NFT on Ethereum before
@Crypto_Skulls
.
I believe this indeed does makes CryptoSkulls the 2nd 10k pfp project ever (second to CryptoPunks) and possibly the second pfp NFT on Ethereum. π

Even if there was a payment behind the scenes this was a foolish move by the previous owner and a net negative for ENS. NBA and Adidas should have paid fair market value. It is important for everyone in the ENS ecosystem that domains have public market price history.
I can tell you that the more I am in this space, the more I look behind the curtains, the less I am impressed. Twitter/Discord make the presentation of your persona easy. Those doing the hard work are underappreciated and the loud mouths with clout held with regard. Not great.
"Yes but what's the utility?"
WTF happened to something just being art? If you're asking for utility then you know you're not looking for art.
There are NFTs with media for memes/social activity and for art.
Let's not conflate social community aesthetics with artistic intent.

A journalist giving you a heads up is a courtesy. Either your wife cited all her sources or she didn't. Either she used Wikipedia to write a dissertation at MIT or she didn't. Addressing the wrong issues here.
BAYC released an epic roadmap a month ago. The floor price has only gone down(~30%) since
Takeaway:
Nothing can stop market sentiment no matter how good the team or product are. Bearish sentiments always beat execution near term, but long term great execution and product win out
If you want your chain's NFT ecosystem to be as vibrant as Ethereum's the last thing you should be doing is copying Ethereum NFT projects. It works for DeFi not for NFTs. Looking at the Solana ecosystem ππ. Do better.
I just asked my friend what the floor price was for houses in his neighborhood. I am either talking like it is 2030 or NFTs have taken over my life. π
I just realized what it is about
@creatureNFT
's style that is different to me. None of the Creatures look like "floor" Creatures. The design style is done in a way such that if you like 1 of them, you generally like all of them. Am I the only who thinks this?
Good to see the community recognizing the pattern of whales coming in, spending a ton of ETH to establish rapid influence and clout and then doubling back for gains one way or another. Just throwing ETH around and yelling "gm" is not providing value.
Hot Take: No project first minted or community formed in 2021 is a "blue chip". Blue chips traditionally have an accepted, trusted stability and existence tied to time. This space moves fast but 9 months is 9 months. Don't water down the label to the value of potato chips.
NFT projects can buy:
-Twitter followers
-Discord followers
-Influencers to build hype
NFT projects can't buy:
-Time(longevity)
-Consistency
-Innovation
Focus on what can't be bought to deliver value.
Public Advisory:
I see a lot of artists reacting to the market and focusing more on getting sales than evolving their own creativity and artistic expression. Play the long game in every aspect of your decision making. That is who wins in crypto.
Translation: Coinbase is disrupting TradFi's business lines by offering more than 0% interest on your money so they must be stopped.
America's government is repeatedly getting on the wrong side of this storyline.
We're all just digital apes still mainly focused on profile pictures(identity), texts(symbols) and simple use NFTs. These are primitives and foundations for an ecosystem and society. Once we have a culture based on accepted primitives we take the next step in digital evolution.
Island Boy haters don't understand what mainstream adoption of NFTs looks like. When you go mainstream you get any and everyone adopting a new technology.
Embrace the strange.
Embrace the different.
Embrace the newcomers.
Disney acquiring anything in the NFT space is great? They're pretty militant about IP and control. Must be bear market desperation. Remember when we focused on brands originating from this space?!
In the last week we've had a 12yr old drop Weird Whales with no issues and a team of celebs and some people minting robot heads fail at doing the same. This space is hilarious. π
@BillAckman
@MIT
Wikipedia is not a reliable source...ok then why is Wikipedia sourcing a MIT dissertation?
Also the plagiarism claims weren't only related to Wikipedia.
If you're launching a serious NFT project in 2022 part of your offering must be your own marketplace. You control the experience and are not limited by platforms which arbitrarily take down collections and art.
Idea: Bids on
#NFTs
are just sitting earning 0 yield. Someone make a
#DeFi
protocol to enable a passthrough to earn yield while you have a bid waiting to get accepted. Currently 3700 ETH in bids on CryptoPunks right now earning 0%. Those OpenSea bots could also leverage it.
@elonmusk
Placating isn't going to work.
The oppressor vs oppressed is really power vs powerless.
Spin it how you want. There is an issue there. The conflct started well before Oct 7.
Like this tweet and drop a single Ethereum address/ENS below. The first 128 will be recorded for something, soon. If you ask questions, I'll remove your submission. I won't respond to DMs on this subject π
@VivekGRamaswamy
You put people into a barricaded area, a prison, with little to no autonomy and you expect a vibrant and practical society to flourish?
OpenSea raised $300M AND got 2.5% off record breaking volume in 2021 and it still goes down almost everyday and feature roll outs are a trickle at best. The bar is pretty low for legitimate competitors to grab market share.
