NFTs are awesome.

Today I sent a unique, programmatically generated artwork to people who supported me in getting @variantfund off the ground this yr.

A token of appreciation.

artblocks.io/project/5

I worked w @jeffgdavis and @artblocks_io to create the limited series "Variant Plan F01Y20."

A randomized hash string determines a unique layout and color placement which makes each NFT the recipient's own.

I'm personally drawn to on-chain generative art because it feels like a native expression of this new medium, smart contracts.

The community @artblocks_io is all about this, and Jeff really nailed it with something bespoke for @VariantFund

What happens next?

It'll be interesting to see if these permissionless NFTs make their way to markets like @opensea, @rariblecom, @withFND etc...or whether the community HODLs.

Will recipients flood the market with Variant Plan secondary?

In 2021, I believe NFTs will reshape the relationship between creators and their audiences.

In the Passion Economy, that is increasingly a relationship of patronage.

In the Ownership Economy, it will be one of aligned incentives: patronage+profit...

...this is a powerful combo and I expect it will transform much of social in the near future.

Thanks, Crypto — the most market-driven way to build community and network effects :)
