1/ my first "warhol" was a $20 poster in my first apartment in NYC decades ago. that and a Lichtenstein poster. and my own photos on the walls.

2/ And one of my best dates in my early years in NYC was some type of gala at the MOMA.

I wore a tux, she a red dress, we got drunk and we stared at red tomato soup cans
3/ Once I had some money, I searched for a tomato soup can for years, but market is not liquid, not transparent.

One day I happened to see one. It was out of budget. I balked. Next day I went back. Balked again. Next day went back.
4/ I did not have enough cash to justify it. But I had enough BTC. But I never sell BTC.

Life is short and then you die frens.

That is why I own a soup can. You aren't taking cash, stocks, BTC or ETH with you. Live your dreams too

WAGMI.

1/ On NFTs 2030

However bullish you are on NFTs, you are wrong.

You are insufficiently bullish.

6529 has gone to the mountaintop and there is almost nothing in life that 6529 is as sure of as this
2/ First, the usual anti-FOMO advice.

The rest of this thread is giga-bull NFTs in general as a technology.

This does not mean that you should ape in the PFP collection "Silver Snails". Most individual NFTs are heading to zero.

Now back to the main event
3/ 6529 first came across BTC in 2011-2012 and ignored it.

It was not until August 2013 in my apartment in NYC when I actually engaged, read the white paper, downloaded a node, bought a BTC and sent $20 of BTC across the world instantly.

1/ I have no idea why, but for the last couple of days I have had this on auto-repeat.

[Editor note: 6529 will shortly return to 83-tweet long tweetstorms about NFTs. We have no idea what this is about. We checked. He is definitely not crying]

2/ Ignore the editor. He is a nerd.

Also the first tweet was not totally accurate.

There was a new Tesla software update yesterday for "immersive sound" and this was the 1st song I heard on the radio and the speakers sounded great and now I can't stop playing it.
3/ Also we are awash in visual goodies in NFTs.

We need more phat beats in NFTs. Many more.

1/ 🚨 Rights Management Project 🚨

Hello 6529 fam, we need to make a rights template builder.

One thing I have noticed in the last 3 days is that a lot of artists and collectors are confused about what they are buying or selling even in the 'normal' model
2/ Here is how I think it could work

We need a website, easy to use, like this

creativecommons.org/share-your-wor…

Where you can "build a license" from as restrictive to as open as you like, but fine-tuned to NFTs
3/ Once you have built your license, it creates a machine and human readable version of the license.

Easy mode is link it in the metadata of your NFT
Better mode is you link in the metadata and publish to Arweave and/or IPFS so that it is as decentralized as your NFT

1/ First thoughts about 'open source' NFT minting experiment.

I think the first point is that it is just a tool in the toolkit, a tool to use when appropriate.

An undifferentiated collection or photograph won't change just because of a more open license
2/ The one usage case in which it absolutely makes sense is for images that have been stolen, gone viral

This is like the meme NFTs that were minted a few weeks or months ago

A scenario like this allows the artist to reclaim their heritage and ownership

We will see what else
3/ Now let's talk about what norms we should emerge around these images. You don't *have* do these things, but it is better if you do.

First, if you want a print, go to the artist first and see if they are interested. Why wouldn't you?

1/ On NFT Rights Experiments

I am setting up a thread of threads to archive these threads because they are about to get lost in my feed.

We started here with an experiment based on @cathsimard_ 's experiment. Spirited debate ensued.

2/ Then I messed up the thread linkages so adding them back here

3/ Then another thread on this topic
