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:

すべてから派生する暗号の別の例

中央のボックスは、現在の暗号通貨で起こっていることの大部分を占めています（カルロッタ・ペレズの展開段階）。

それが皆が退屈で幻滅している理由です。興味深い人々が今どこにいるのかを見つけるには、ボックスの外（エッジ）を見る必要があります。

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

crypto is officially boring now

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

ロビンフッドがコインベースをアウトシーティングしているのが見える（これが起こってほしくはないが、ただの観察...彼らは本当に動いているようだ）

feels like an actual decent use case for tokens

crypto ppl are a lot of things, but the one thing you have consistently is a genuine curiosity for the new. that's why you're seeing many of them expand so much into art, ai, robotics, longevity. it's not bc they are "pivoting" it's just more that they are frontier. also there are the grifters ofc, but excluding those 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.
