I wanted to put this together for anyone interested in my timeline in Web 3: 1. My first mint on the blockchain on opensea was this image called the “The Alchemist”. I wasn’t sure how to mint so I just dove in head first and created an edition of 100. I sold the first edition

If you’re getting mad at duplicate copies of crypto punks, toadz, apes you’re missing the entire point of provenance. Do copies of the Mona Lisa in the gift shop lower the value of the original piece? One thing that makes NFT’s so valuable is the ability to prove whats original.

If you invest in stocks and think NFT’s are stupid, think of it like this. Imagine a company like @BoredApeYC that made half a billion dollars in profit in its initial 6 months of going public, we would call that a unicorn in the biz world. Instead of a stock tho, you own art.

We need to stop using the word “cash grab” to define an artist selling their art. If someone sells you something and promises utility and doesn’t deliver that utility, that’s a cash grab and fraud. An artist selling their art for money, is called “income”. Buy it for the art.
