NFTs are fun

we knew this was inevitable but like blackrock / fintechification of crypto is truly horribly uninteresting. yes stablecoin good for US dollar, etc etc. but like ughhhfff

we're moving from neoliberalism to something else... not sure what to call it yet (im calling it hypercapitalism here) but think this is about what is to come. partially driven by economics, new tech (ai/crypto), population demographics, culture, politics and more). want to write more on this but the general thought below:

ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, dass Krypto von allem abhängt

Die mittlere Box ist der Großteil dessen, was jetzt im Krypto-Bereich passiert (die Einsatzphase laut Carlota Perez).

Deshalb sind alle gelangweilt und desillusioniert, man muss außerhalb der Box (an den Rändern) schauen, wo die interessanten Menschen jetzt sind.

can we get better aesthetics for crypto ppl? aghast when I saw that sol thing

Krypto ist jetzt offiziell langweilig

crypto is officially going mainstream

1 punk > 1 btc

crazy taht some of the biggest skeptics around crypto are coming out of the woodwork for stablecoins rn

the one thing that most interesting people who were early to crypto are interested in today: desci

can see robinhood out seating coinbase (don't want this to happen, just an observation... they seem to be really moving)

feels like an actual decent use case for tokens

Krypto-Leute sind viele Dinge, aber das eine, was sie konstant haben, ist eine echte Neugier für das Neue. Deshalb sehen Sie viele von ihnen, die sich so sehr in Kunst, KI, Robotik und Langlebigkeit erweitern. Es ist nicht, weil sie "umschwenken", sondern einfach, weil sie an der Frontlinie stehen. Außerdem gibt es natürlich die Betrüger, aber die lasse ich mal außen vor, lololol.

literally wish eth could get its shit together so i could have fun again…

surrealism / digi art + nfts are both born from new tech shifts: surrealists hacked cheap printing, photography and early film. digital artists lean into code, ai and protocols.

each movement thrived in new social rooms. paris cafés, little magazines and midnight salons then; discord servers, twitter and mint pages now. the market followed the enery, not institutions. surrealists sold zines and found objects outside academy salons; nfts bypass galleries, creating native economies for code based art. both spread ideas through manifestos. breton’s typed screeds circulated like memes; digital artists are v online and do the same here.

lesson across a century: when art plugs into fresh tech and invites collective play, it stops being a static object and becomes a living protocol.
