Some of my favourite creatives are also my best friends in the space.

How many of you would like to learn and ask questions about their artistic, commercial and professional journey through NFTs?

Gauging interest.

He is also eloquent AF.

Don’t miss it ❤️

1/ Rethinking the Comercial Value of PFPs:

This is not going to be a popular thread.

People have invested with the expectations of profit, and anything that threatens those expectations are oft seen as a personal insult.

Hear me out (or not) and save yourself some pain.
2/ Your Monkey isn't Hello Kitty

Evergreen IPs are far and few between.

The majority of character IPs, regardless of their initial popularity, have a limited lifecycle.

You can count the # of evergreen character IPs with the digits on your two hands. ImageImageImage
3/ They all look the same

The lack of differentiation among PFPs within a single project makes commercialization of "characters" impossible.

There are only 39 characters in the Sanrio-verse and 898 in Pokemon...

And the differentiation of characters is not a different hat. ImageImageImage

It saddens me when I see comments from mainstream such as:

"Not a NFT"
"Please not a NFT"

NFT technology was created to provide true ownership and management of digital assets as we moved further towards a digital world and lifestyle.
2/6
Like the internet, NFT tech is not inherently bad.

The internet was created to provide the seamless flow of information and ideas across the globe.

It was not created to provide access to child pornography or animal cruelty videos.

Cute cat videos were a bonus though.
3/6
There is so much noise in the NFT space.

A generational disruption in digital art, culture and gaming drowned out by insider trading, hype manufacturing and false idols.

And that noise continues to increase with the greed associated with it.

When markets heat up and start to ascend the mainstream adoption curve, it's usually time to start looking around for "What's Next".

What is the next "Crypto"?
What is Web 4.0?

And how can you start to get alpha level exposure?
2/
Web 1.0 was about content/ information - Search

Web 2.0 was about connectivity - Social Media

Web 3.0 is about decentralization of 1 + 2 - Blockchain

What is Web 4.0?

The jury is out, but a large number of responses to this question hinted at "Immersion".
3/
From Web 2.0 to 3.0, investor based wealth was generated throgh the traditional means of buying and selling equity.

Web 3.0 democratizes the wealth generation process through tokenization of governance, access, assets and the ability to generate yield through DeFi.

While I appreciate the kind interventions in response to @FortuneMagazine's NFTy 50 list, it has never been my intention to "influence" or be on a list.

I enjoy serving information and advice as is and watching creators wield that power to innovate, create and succeed.
2/7
Collectors would not have anything to collect without Creators.

Creators of bodies of work.
Creators of platforms.
Creators of architecture.
Creators of opportunity through capital.

@FortuneMagazine, some nice entries, but here's some of who you missed:

Social Tokens 101

As NFTs make their way through to mass adoption, I have my eye on "What's next".

Crypto --> DeFi --> NFTs --> Social Tokens

From one of the world's largest NFT collectors and the founder of the world's largest social token $WHALE...

Let's Geddit ❤️
2/7
What are social tokens?

Social tokens, also known as social currencies or creator coins, are your very own cryptocurrency.

It is your own coin that you have full decision making on tokenomics, use case and distribution.

Adam can create $Adam and Eve can create $Eve.
3/7
Why create a social token?

Social tokens enable anyone to tokenize and commercialize an aspect of ones life.

It could be your brand, community or your interests.

Social tokens can be given $ value through @Uniswap and eventually provide financial benefits to your fans.
