5/ You will see in the gallery Gradient 0, 50 and 100 which are currently in the 6529 Museum.
BUT
✅ 100ish empty wall positions in this galley
✅Almost 100 other gradients
so this happened one day and 🤝
6/ Specifically, what I would like to try is that each Gradient holder can curate 1 NFT into this gallery.
@mintfaced can figure out the logistics so get in touch with him. 👋
The idea is to reverse the 6529 gallery concept, so that others curate, not us.
7/ I have not figured out how you can do this if you would like to stay 100% anon because we somehow have to give you an @oncyber_io curation link.
If someone can think of an idea, please post it here.
Otherwise you have to at least ping us with a pseudo account
8/ Disclaimers:
a) Do you get a governance token? no
b) Do you get economics? no
c) Can we veto obnoxious NFTs? yes
d) Do we commit to @oncyber_io not changing their business model? no
e) Can we end the experiment at any time? yes
It is just an experiment to see what happens
9/ On this fun news, I am sending two more Gradients to auction at the usual starting price of 0.6529ETH
1/ A quick recap of yesterday's threads to make sure we are all on the same page.
The value of decentralized systems is that they are decentralized and global and open to all.
This is the goal, but there must be pathways to that goal.
2/ The pathway to that goal is through adoption.
I am not interested in crypto / decentralized systems being a niche area for hardcore OGs only. I am interested in broad adoption.
Broad adoption by definition requires "regular" people in large countries to adopt it
3/ Regular people (and in fact pretty much everyone) in order to spend serious time/effort/money in an open system need to:
a) have easy access to their value back in fiat
b) not have burdensome obligations
c) not have any risk of jail, fines, breaking the law
We've been here before. In 1996. We were going to build a digital world, not tied to nation-states.
John Barlow of the EFF wrote the Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
I will tweet it in full
2/ "Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather."
3/ "We have no elected government, nor are we likely to have one, so I address you with no greater authority than that with which liberty itself always speaks. I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us"
✅Economy the size of the United States
✅Constitutional democracies with support for human rights
✅Strong history in financial services
✅Vast cultural and artistic heritage
✅Amazing brands
✅Acceptable tech capacity
There is no more natural home for crypto than the United States of America.
There is no more natural strategic weapon for the United States of America than crypto.
The USA has never gone wrong betting on freedom and things are no different this time.
2/ First, let's knock out the major alternatives:
❎China: Non-convertible currency, top-down 'social credit' system of integrated control
❎Russia: Would like to be China
❎EU: Blissfully unaware that technology matters
❎India: @balajis fighting hard but tough battle
3/ Now, let's knock out the rest
❎Switzerland: Zug is cool, but ant-sized
❎Singapore: Same
❎Dubai/UAE: Same
❎UK: Theoretically interesting, but busy running out of crisps or whatever these days
❎Nigeria: Hates it
❎Brazil: Unaware of crypto's existence
❎The rest: Come on
