"Workday"

4 pieces of non-fungible performance art

3 hours of my time to be directed at a creative exercise of your choosing

Lowest reserve set

Let the market decide

Auctions below

proof of work
to make it interesting (and get more eyes on this experiment), i'll open up a 5th slot and award at random to someone who RTs the top tweet.
all reserves met, auctions rolling

🙏
conceptually speaking (without getting too high art about it) this is a bit of a prototype of what I believe the future of work looks like for lots of us

trade reputation in real time

a liquid market for talent
practically speaking, this entire thing runs on proof of work

the business of art depends on return on investment for collectors

will piece x sell for more than you paid for it?

will person x create more upside than you paid them for?
if the answer is no enough times in a row:

artist x fades into obscurity

business x ceases to exist
it's markets all the way down whether you like it or not

"there's no such thing as a fair fight"

crypto makes markets more liquid, which makes outcomes more extreme (in both directions)
I have oscillated between trying to carve out some separate artist persona, limiting supply, forking "brands" if you will — it's knackering

what I hope to achieve with this experiment is to convince people that you don't have to pretend

publish work, think out loud, help people
everyone's an artist but not everyone finds their collectors
would these auctions have kicked off without distribution?

almost a zero percent chance

not often talked about, but will continue to get more and more acute with time

networks, markets, proof of work

amazon or artist

Old: talent + distribution
New: talent = distribution
To clarify

Traditional media distributors' leverage is eroding:

1/ Pay someone else a percentage to broadcast your thing

2/ Broadcast your thing

The Symbol for Satoshis: (design process thread)
Got this great little design prompt from
@PatrickWStanley via DM yesterday.
After a bit of googling, there have been a few attempts at branding Sats, most were complex or too difficult to reproduce by hand.

So the answer needs to be both distinct and recognisable, but incredibly simple to reproduce by hand.

Conversion rate is a concept that I wish I grasped earlier.

Know what conversion rate is (try more stuff)
Don't know what conversion rate is (give up)
Sustained results are merely relentless iteration
6 out of 100 people buying something from your website is a *world-class* conversion rate.

Let in that sink
