On Showtime, creators make money from *their* content. #NFT

Thread + we're hiring tryshowtime.com

The NFT space is exploding in awareness during this bull market, mostly centered around digital art from famous figures.

It’s a nice start, but we’re missing one key component: a social experience.

NFT are more than “collectibles”: they’re the future of internet content— one that belongs to creators, not platforms.

Showtime starts by letting collectors discover and showcase digital art, collectibles, and others.

Every Ethereum-created NFT is listed on @tryShowtime, including some sidechains.

We add a “like” and “share” button to all of them— and we’re only just getting started.

Shout out to my cofounder @Alex_Kilkka: thrilled to start this journey with you.

Shout out to other incredible (crypto) founders/execs participating: @alexadelman @isotowright @dillchen @ashleighschap @Cooopahtroopa @jzlegion @notscottmoore @maxcoutte @HugoAmsellem

Lastly, shout out to all the $ALEX holders for making my dream come true, the crypto-native way. A year ago, I had no money, was stuck in COVID, and couldn’t make it to SF.

Founding a company was always my goal. Grateful to everyone who participated in my small ISA in May ‘20.

Do you want to reinvent social media with us, and usher our society into a new paradigm?
