These folks trying their damnedest to prevent my model of collectivism from taking hold...

Fifty different angles of bullshit.

They're just making the inevitable that much more inevitable. The secret is... the bastions of capitalism that take a collectivist approach will make more money.

They can't shut down the establishment of the mechanic because they'll lose in court.

The SEC says "any exchange of value for a digital asset is typically investment." Image

Big socialist @hasanthehun bans former TYT colleague for lightly talking about a sustainable socialism model.

Then roasts Elon for censorship.

This is a "Yertle the Turtle" society.

The problem isn't politics... it's the Yertles.

Hasan seems to be a Yertle. I honestly don't know the man, just been watching his content for about a year.

I love Cenk as a human being and find him to be an extremely principled individual. Figured it was time to see what nephew was about.

Man says all the right things...

Access to The Voyage of Legacy, a story development system that turns any basic idea into a production-ready digital collectible experience, with the ultimate goal being a film, show, or other experience. Image #72 • Muted See

1. First Perk, cont.

Original ideas always produce at least two assets (franchise, and audience experience), and The Voyage of Legacy is safe for existing franchises. Holders are collaborating in Company Ownership, and are sovereign creators. Image

It's hard to explain this experience as a human being.

I wrote a free informational paper on creating digital collectible experiences in March of 2021.

Instead of rallying around my family as we lost 7 people, folks decided to hold a wide public trial instead. Image Hollywood was always going to ignore us.

Most of my friends decided NFTs were a scam run by energy-monsters w/ garage servers. A lot were haters, and I didn't know it.

It's astounding how many people don't bother to read anything, and just repeat what they're told on podcasts.

Yes, I'm the Sacramento photographer who got into NFTs way, way early. You muted me, but are now back because the Tr*mp thing, and you're wondering what I'm doing.

Well, it's a lot different than dinner and golf.

We're building a film and television production collective. Image Digital collectibles are about two things:

1) Art
2) Community relationships

Do not passively speculate on communities - get involved!

Participate!

I truly wonder if anybody will ever give a shit besides the LMO team. Image That vast separation in market response...

Starts and ends with Sacramento Press.

This city would have supported us if news weren't being deliberately withheld.

"Here's the way you must climb out of marginalization. I have the answers. Pay me."

~ the people doing the marginalizing

That's fundamentally how it works. Turn your film/season of television into a puzzle on the blockchain, sell pieces to fund the thing, and spend your time marketing to consumers rather than competing for a grant.

Go for the grants anyway, but build your direct impact iniative at the same time.

I announced yesterday that I'm distributing 5% of the equity in Season One of Press Pass to 18 different guilds and unions in media production.

Follow @LMO_PressPass for more on the show!

🧵 Thread Image The project is built on the five use-cases established by the LMO Structure, and we'll explain them as we offer equity to the bodies that fight for our sustainability as laborers.

Let's explore the mindset of the Sacramento Press as they ignore local innovations.

First, the innovations.

1) Hard-math sustainable socialism in films and shows for collaborators.
2) First public open-source information defining collaborative storytelling with NFTs. It's the first public on-chain economic model that distributes equity and shared net earnings based on direct merit of impact, and it's open source information.

It's the first public on-chain economic model rewarding public supporters with equity-backed collaborator roles.

Some folks in basketball think athletic advantage is the driving factor of potential. Some GMs share this outlook.

Knowing how to advantage position/timing > any athletic advantage.

Easy to scheme against athletes if they constantly end up under the basket after a drive. I have a theory that may come to be tested sooner than we think...

I've been writing a pro basketball lore as a fiction since 2015 for the @LMO_PressPass world...

My position is the best women in basketball would thrive playing with the best men in basketball.

I've decided to give 5% of my ownership in Season One of Press Pass, equally distributed between all professional industry Unions and Guilds willing to attach an advisor to the project at a rate of 1x meeting with Producers each month of production. For everything I do, I've committed to a 25%-50% union roster.

Y'all have never so much as opened a window for me, but I believe in collective bargaining and workers' rights...

It's baked into the ethos of the LMO Structure.

Talking about @LMO_PressPass with a

1) Gen X sports fan
2) who is also really into D&D

made me realize that... that's what it is.

You form characters in a pro sports fiction and contribute to the lore.

Our modern-day sports mockumentary covers and exists in that world. My first PP:AA character (Press Pass: All Access is the name of the entire franchise) is #Lensface.

He's a lv 119 Lensface, and invented the class.

#Lensface is a "social media influencer / photojournalist" who deliberately produces bad content to reflect a bad basketball team.

Every single #NFT is an immovable data point.

It is permanently maintained on a decentralized public ledger.

Information is sustained by a peer-to-peer validation and agreement network called blockchain.

The energy impact of the blockchain varies depending on which you use. These data points are almost infinitely programmable, providing interesting economic solutions that didn't previous exist.

Each is recorded to the ledger on an exact date and time, transparent for everyone to see. Image

Everybody following me should collect a Company Ownership Token!!!

I'm pretty sure I've accidentally made history by assigning ownership to my company @LMOPro to non-fungible token IDs in the Deed of Partnership, making the ownership collectable across from pieces of art. @LMOPro The ownership assignments don't provide any explicit future flow of wealth, but they do guarantee access to collaborate with @LMOPro through @TopBrassDAO membership.

The art is also cool.

We have a maximum of 200 available at any given time until all 80,000 have been released.

4% of net profit generated by @LMOPro is going to fund the treasury for the KEI Society, a decentralized community that purchases empty warehouses, office buildings, strip malls, and department stores for conversion to "dignified living centers" for our unsheltered neighbors. @LMOPro With over $29m in publicly-declared expenses, we're a long way from a net profit.

We'd have to sell out our tokenomics system for Press Pass (Season One). We'd have to accomplish 33% of the potential trade volume in our BSofA DAO, the system that runs teams in the show.

Equity-Backed Collaboration in NFTs

1) Every story you tell exists in a world that contains it. Every art piece you make exists in a story.

2) When you invent a story - through writing or through art - you've also invented the world it takes place in. The storyworld. 3) Never give up your storyworld.

Do you understand?

Under zero circumstances should you, or your collective creator group, ever give control over that intellectual property franchise to any company, distributor, or middle layer.

Ever again. No more.

Let yourself out.

How does this sound for a perk?

Testing this out in our group, let me bring it to y'all:

For every Company Ownership Token you collect, you can create exactly one to add to our schedule.

You'll receive 35% of the primary, and 3.5% of all secondaries, forever. These tokens will have an additional trait.

Artist: You.

@fritoj hit me - let's pick the token # you'll make for the collection!

December, 2020: I'm like "what are NFTs? A way to sell photos? Awesome."

February, 2021: I attend a seminar in Decentraland. I learn NFTs / blockchain isn't a gimmick... it's the next fundamental wave of human infrastructure. Beeple moves.

I get to work on the LMO Structure. ImageImage Once it was ready, I reached out to Metapurse. I didn't think they would respond, I'm often boldly reaching out to platforms and celebrities about all sorts of stuff.

It's kinda like fishing. In this case, we got a bite! ImageImage
