1/ There is some strange effect in crypto haters that turns even the most ardent capitalists into aspiring members of the young communists club.

I was reminded of this with these quotes about the metaverse from an Oct FT article
2/ "This isn’t about building a decentralised paradise where everyone can prosper and live in harmony; this is about making a small group of people rich."

I disagree with the substance of the statement, but this coming from the FT is just chef's kiss
3/ FT is short for Financial Times, a newspaper focused largely on financial markets, plus a few lifestyle pages relating to spending habits of very rich people.

The average FT reader is, in fact, striving to make "a small group of people, themselves included, rich"
4/ I mean this is fine.

Greenpeace and Bernie Sanders and the FT are all part of our global society.

Rich people need a newspaper too, ergo the FT.

But the FT being against people getting rich is so off-brand it makes you wonder at the strength of the hater effect
5/ What I mean is the following. I don't ever remember an FT article in this format.

"Successful IPO of tech company on Nasdaq. Sadly, once again, no paradise for all, executives and VCs get most of gains. Stock market a scam. Wen communist paradise?"
6/ So maybe it is the usual crypto hard-to-process mindshift, maybe it is a form of innovator's dilemma, maybe the issue is that their reader is not loaded up on crypto.

I dunno, but it is an interesting effect.

1/ On 4156

Today, and in the coming days and months, we will get to see the outcome to a question that I have pondered since I first followed 4156 (a long time ago)

I have very warm feelings for this ape. But are these feelings for the ape or for the voice behind it?
2/ I see this ape and I think "provenance, not copyright";

Oddly, I see this ape and still think "punk maxi"

Now that the voice and the image have split, that the identity has split, what will I feel?
3/ I think, in my mind, the twitter account and the voice is still 4156.

I think if I am referring to this voice in a few weeks, I will still say "4156", not "the artist formerly known as 4156".

This part is quite clear to me (at least today)

1/ On NFT Photography 1/1s vs Print 1/1s

I have had a lot of photographers discuss this with me in DMs and there is a discussion online today.

Since there a lot of dimensions to this question, I am going to lay out my overall views here
2/ I am going to cover:
a) the legal position
b) old v new photographs
c) my view
d) what I think others will think
3/ The legal position is crystal-clear. In absence of another agreement, the photographer has the right to issue an NFT 1/1, a print 1/1, a coffee mug, a t-shirt and so on, from the same image.

They retain the copyright.

Time to live on the edge a bit.

We have 17 Gradient owners (great) and this is taking too long (not great)

For the very first time, going to send 4 Gradients live simultaneously 🤯

Gradient #89 is live (#90 is staying in-house for now)

opensea.io/assets/0x0c58e…
As is Gradient #11 (#10 is staying in-house for now)

As is Gradient #88

1/ Thank you @yongoh_kim. 🙏

I came across @yongoh_kim's work a few weeks ago via his Travel India collection. I have spent a lot of time in India and I found his lens on India so unique.

Very happy for his @SuperRare Genesis piece to join the 6529 Museum
2/ In the 6529 Museum gallery below, you can see the almost complete Travel India series (95/100 or so of the editions and 1/1s) and all of the Travel China series

I think it is lovely to see the whole India journey together in one place

3/ And for those holders of the 5 'missing' pieces in Travel India that I previously bid on, it might be nice if we could get them together with their brethren.

You can reach out to me if you like; if not, it is fine, I am very happy with how this is. 🙏

1/ On How To Secure Your NFTs

Where are your NFTs out in the metaverse?
How do you store them?
How do you keep people from stealing them?!
How do you pass down your Grails to your grandkids?

Let’s find out!
2/ There is a lot of confusion about wallets and NFT storage.

This thread is going to try to cover everything from basics for our new NFTs frens to some advanced topics for 🐳s

Make sure you click “read more” after tweet #30 because we are going to #30 and beyond!
3/ Disclaimers:

Security is hard, you may make mistakes, I may make mistakes, new attack vectors might emerge

I discuss specific solutions. They might have bugs, there might be other better solutions

So this is my best view, but I can’t take responsibility for your NFTs

1/ You might be wondering where the Gradients went?

The short answer is "I had an idea" then "I went to NYC" and then "life got in the way"

So, yesterday I was able to organize the idea so we can move forward again.
2/ One Big Theme around here is we do experiments.

Lots and lots of experiments because another Big Theme is that we are 0.01% of the way there in figuring out how to best socially organize with NFTs.

So I want to try Many Ideas to see if any of them are Good Ideas.
3/ One experiment that I enjoyed was making the gm and 6529 galleries with the help of @mintfaced and @6529er (and the OG @ldf_gm inspiration)

If you have not seen, check them out
