Crypto is not about getting rich. Animals move freely across borders, don't stop and show passports, or tell anyone where they are from or where they are going. Humanity entered a degraded state, submitting to authority which denies them an inherent, but not inalienable, right.

Hello #NFT / #opensea victims. Did you know that on #Cardano you NFTs are native assets that sit on L1 and can be seen/traded independent of any marketplace? There's also a vibrant community. Last year I was able to sell out a collection of 31k NFTs (lol dont ask: @unsigned_algo )

Personally find the critiques of Alessandro/Spacebudz bizarre. In the end, it's likely that markets will value the creations of people who have a legacy, which he's well on his way to. No one is going to remember the "marketing" and hype that most projects try to drum up.

I'm critical of the #Cardano #NFT scene because Cardano is head and shoulders above other L1s, but our NFT scene is average to below average, even compared to ETH/Tezos. Had hoped that Cardano people would support and demand something better from their NFTs as they had their L1.

#CNFT may not need to die, but i think it should. (hashtag/distinction only) Doesn't REALLY add anything to the discussion and sort of encourages this weird parallel universe subculture that I don't think stands up to the quality that the larger #nft space has moved on to.

If you have pools doing KYC, the same authority that is requiring KYC can tell the operator: 1. do not accept TXs from nonKYCed wallets. 2. do not build on blocks from nonKYCed pools. There is no way to do optional KYC at the L1 without it infecting the rest of the network.

In case you didn't understand, governance on Cardano today is a regressive tax system: EVERYONE pays into the pot of funds (20% staking reward tax) and the top 2% get to decide where the funds go. Eliminating the tax would result in a more equitable system.
