"What was it when you purchased your first #CryptoPunk that put you over the edge into uncovering all these other artpieces?" - @RyanSAdams

NFT's long timeframe & cultural significance:
"At the time I wanted to collect them because I view them as pieces of internet culture. These are pieces of internet history." -DC
In response to which @TrustlessState coined them as "deep cultural artefacts of the internet"

On getting hung up on rarity or attributes & the collector psychology:
"I think that for a lot of crypto people, that (attributes) is easier to do and they feel more comfortable doing that, then ACTUALLY trying to make an aesthetic assesment." -DC

"Very often I'm not minting projects on day1. I'm normally buying after they've been minted on 2ndary market cuz I want the pieces that I like. I like to see how the market & collectors are reacting." -DC
"Is that a risk strategy?" - @TrustlessState
"Yeah partially" -DC

Minting vs waiting to see if there's traction & relevance
"I don't want to put a lot of money into something that I feel like won't necessarily develop that cultural premium & I think that cultural premium is the ineffable part of this that is really hard to understand." -DC

(continuing on why cultural premium is essential, but elusive)
"You're kind of making a bet on what people are going to find interesting today, what's going to influence artists of tomorrow & how are collectors gonna look back at this set. ...fondness or overly hyped?" -DC

"I do think every collector needs to have a circle of confidence, they need to have something that they're interested in & that's how you build a collection. Otherwise you're just buying a little bit of everything and end-up with nothing that you're really excited about." -DC

On why he bought @justinaversano #nftphotography
"Anytime I see something that I feel is pretty certain going to be a piece of history, I may just try to buy it just cuz I'm like 'this is something that's important as an artefact – even beyond the art that it represents."

"What does the metaverse mean to you?"
"... In earnest, we're going to look back at 2020/2021 as the birth of the metaverse in my opinion. It's not just going to be one ReadyPlayer1 -thing, it's going to be all of us interacting with each other online in various ways." -DC

"The #VR part isn't even here yet! And I don't think it like _has to_ be here for us to call what is happening here a 'metaverse'. That VR-component will start to emerge heavily in the next few years." -DC
