When you spent hours of senseless customizing of your avatar in a random multiplayer golf game w/ your friends, only to not even PLAY in the end, that’s when you understand that #NFT #PFP is about way more than jpgs.

It’s about identity. About pride. And about being yourself.
Ppl are smarter than we tend to believe. We will be living “in a simulation”. And ppl know that.

In that simulation, you want to have a unique identity. One you are proud of. One that reflects your inner self.
All while keeping you anon.

Soon, this #NFT will not only be your hexagon in Twitter, it will be your login. Like Facebook or Amazon connect. With built-in crypto wallet, compatible everywhere in #web3.
The fun part starts here:

While busy disrupting the entire (social) web in speed of light, #NFT #PFPs do something curious:

They connect mainstream web2 to blockchain. After all.
At this point, Ocean’s focus on data x blockchain becomes interesting:

How to manifest the value of your NFT, the universal log-in?

Turn it into a universal key to your most valuable resource: data.

It’s called:
#dataNFT

And it’s coming this quarter:
@OceanProtocol V4
V4 is way more than dataNFT, 🌾💧💜, but it’s an intriguing part: Trent built ascribe.io in 2013 - on #btc.

“We had been asking the question: how do you collect digitally based artworks? Then we realized: what if you could own digital art the way you own Bitcoin?”
After having invented this for the world (NFT), bigger problems were at hand.

Web2 stars not only started to stack people’s personal data, they started to use it, against the users, for the revenues.

That’s how Ocean came to be. (DataEconomy OS)

V4 now merges both inventions.
My feeling is that from inception to mainstream, it could not take 7 years this time, like w/ NFTs.

What I saw these past weeks, what I learned about how #web3 works from the inside, the combination of NFT tech and a #NewDataEconomy protocol might come in just at the right time.
And:
About NFT PFP going way beyond jpgs, into identity and self-revelation, it’s really hard to explain.

Best way is to experience it yourself.

Now. we're. talking.

This was supposed to be my first blockchain @Medium, but as @TheDataShift said:

"🤝 The speed at which the space is moving is mind blowing!"

So let me try a brief 🧵👇

(also related to latest tweets by @trentmc0, @SBF_FTX, @elonmusk 🦍🧠)
1/
We have:

A) big data silos, aka: Web2 behemoths

and

B) a blockchain protocol for privacy-preserving data xchange & monetization: @oceanprotocol

How to connect these two?

@trentmc0 would say:
Use what's there (UWT).

Let's look into this

👇
2/
Following the paradigm (use what's there), you understand that time is also a factor.

So how to connect A) and B), when?
