Why I invested 10 ETH into a @fvckrender #NFT you can screenshot on @SuperRare ๐Ÿ’Ž
SuperRare has the best NFT curation.

Artists save their best work for the platform, and each piece is minted exclusively as a 1/1 creation - meaning there will never be another in existence.

Being a SuperRare collector is a badge I wear proudly.
Crypto art is intangible.

Value is subjective, but ownership is not.

What I paid for the piece is by no means what someone else would, but it is what Frederic and I deem a fair market value.

I now own it, and @fvckrender endorses that relationship.
When it comes to collecting I ask myself two questions:

- Does this artist have a plan for their future creations?
- Is this artist invested in the long term success of the ecosystem?

Frederic passed these questions with flying colors.
GENERATE// represents self-improvement.

The wilting flower defines the highs and lows in life, while the crystal embodies our growing capacity to learn and evolve.

I'm an extremely positive person, and this message immediately resonated with me.
Frederic has worked with Supreme, OVO, 88 Rising, Dior, Hypebeast, Lil Nas X, Lebron James, TOKiMONSTA, Puma, Spotify, Instagram and many more.

His style is a cornerstone of the digital art community and his work is among the best in the world.
My thesis for #NFTs is simple.

Creator economies are here to stay. As brands permeate an increasingly digital world, ownership of those works will become more valuable - both on a social and financial level.

Own what you love, and love what you own.
I'm not alone in this movement, and I believe we've only seen the tip of iceberg for what owning and collecting scarce digital content truly means.

The best way to show support is to put your money where your mouth is!
This purchase is not an investment opportunity.

Sure, it has a price tag, but this is bigger than the monetary transaction.

It's about proving that digital media has value, and that any creator can be sustainable in a web3 native world.
I'm still learning, and I doubt I'll ever fully grasp what makes an #NFT truly valuable.

Compared to all the shitcoins I've gambled on the past few years, this feels like an incredibly safe bet on Fredrick, the @fvckrender brand, and his forthcoming metaverse.

Game on!

2020 was a game changer for Ethereum.

The vast majority of its success was fueled by #DeFi.

Here's what happened in 5 Tweets ๐Ÿ”ฝ
1) Governance Tokens ๐Ÿช™

Projects gave complete ownership of billion dollar protocols to their users, often using retroactive airdrops.

Early adopters earned tokens for past usage, and token-based voting now dictates all technical upgrades.

2) Liquidity Mining โ›๏ธ

Power users were the first to earn on-going distribution by providing liquidity.

$COMP sparked the wave, with $BAL coining the term a few weeks later.

Social tokens are digital assets backed by the reputation of a brand, individual or community.

Enjoy this 2020 Year in Review report as we highlight the projects, tools and professionals driving the sector forward.

A @forefront__ x @seedclubhq collab ๐Ÿ”ฝ

What better way to show growth than numbers. In 2020, social tokens featured:

- 22+ key communities
- $80M+ total market cap
- 7000+ unique holders
- 700+ @Collab_Land_ groups

Hereโ€™s a birds eye view of a fraction of what unfolded ๐Ÿ“ˆ Image
Social tokens are a response from creators to receive more equitable pay and forge deeper relationships with their community.

@ljin18 put it best in her post โ€˜The Passion Economy and the Future of Workโ€™

Letโ€™s explore how this played out in web3 ๐Ÿ”ฎ

So you heard the @graphprotocol is providing accessible on-chain data to over 3400+ subgraphs.

"What Google does for search, The Graph does for blockchains."

Let's explore what this means and how $GRT plays a critical role in this ecosystem ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš€
Subgraphs are the lifeblood of the network.

Consumers make queries (or data requests) to relay info like price, volume, and liquidity.

They temporarily lived on a hosted service, allowing for free deployment while the decentralized network was being built out.

Enter $GRT ๐Ÿ”ฝ
With $GRT, Indexers run nodes to host subgraphs in exchange for issuance and query fees.

Indexers select subgraphs to index based on curation.

To become an indexer, node operators post a minimum self-bond of 100k tokens.

With #Bitcoin at an all-time high, it's important to not get caught up in the adrenaline.

Some thoughts on how to stay grounded in a bull market ๐Ÿ”ฝ
Token Price โ‰  Success

Look for marginal improvements in the way we coordinate, transfer and create value.

While price is often a byproduct of this, the real value is in network effects, not financial freedom.
Challenge your assumptions.

It's easy to feel like a genius when everything is up triple digits on the year.

Seek conviction in your winners and learn how to separate a short-term flip from a long-term staple.

How to freelance in crypto without technical skills.

Five ways to turn web3 contributions into a paid role โฌ‡๏ธ
1) Content

Ever project is always in need of high quality content.

Whether it's an article, video or podcast, find a way to explain how a protocol works and why it matters.

Teams will pay you to produce more of it.

2) Coordination

Show that you can moderate and manage a growing community.

Take notes during calls, prepare agendas and be the most trusted voice.

Information is so ephemeral and great coordinators make sure updates and developments are always heard.

What is #CryptoArt and what gives it value?

Some thoughts on the growing #NFT movement and what you need to know ๐Ÿ”ฝ
1) Provenance ๐Ÿ”

For the first time in history, we can prove ownership of a digital asset.

This is done through 'tokens' that come with hardcoded metadata and proof of the origin, current owner and primary sale (when applicable).

2) Scarcity ๐Ÿฅ‡

Each piece has a fixed number of copies. The fewer the editions, the more valuable each becomes.

The most exclusive NFTs are 1/1's, meaning there is only one original (and owner).

This is why curation on @SuperRare is so important ๐Ÿ’Ž
