NFTs are media. Media changes its audience. Just as TV changed people, NFTs change people. We are opting out of episodic television & replacing them with NFTs. This transition means we are going from consuming scripted stories to living stories in real time without fixed ends..🧵

Here's my read of the NFT space atm. There's 500-2000 true believers who are on the same page for about 20-25 networked collections. They've been on the same page for 6+ months and can defend floors for sets under 1000 pieces, but aren't a big enough group to defend a 10k drop🧵

It will be easy to frontrun the NFT funds because quantification of culture can't happen until consensus is achieved around meaning & importance...and that only happens by having actual taste and opinions, something capital does not possess. Also kill me for tweeting like this.
