As I celebrate another year on this planet it is not lost on me how incredible the past year has been, and who was there to help me along the way.
I put together a quick thank you video for making 37 amazing, all 11.3k+ of you.
Here’s to making 38 even better 💜
It finally happened.
I saw someone browsing

can’t come soon enough!
I wanna buy some art today.
TEZ preferred so I can buy a bunch, Eth considered. Sol or Cardano if you’ve got the best shit on the block cuz I can’t remember my PW, extra steps.
Weird. Different. Dark. Techno. Retro. Photography.
Drop them links!
You shame artists for selling their work for less than what you paid, messing with your investment.
I pay artists and never think about the price again because I’m investing in them.
We are not the same.
We want to Congratulate with Fernando for his purchase, because supporting art is still what we value the most.
But sadly, after this we are NO Longer Supporting

Shoutout to every artist who has the guts to post their work for others to see, let alone with a price tag on it when selling.
Despite being in the space for 2 yrs I've been hesitant to drop an NFT project or share any of my art b/c the fear of getting no support is crippling.

@APompliano
The fact that banks can now use blockchain backed coins as a means of conducting transactions. Just like you get ACH payments, your bank can now use a coin like BTC or ETH for those transactions. This opens it for mass adoption of blockchain tech as the global backer of currency

Can’t wait for that moment. As someone who doesn’t create art, I bet the feeling of posting a piece and then waiting for your first bid is nerve wrecking!
Yo. When we finally meet; don’t come at me with no damn handshake.
All of you better come in for a fucking hug.
That’s just how I roll. I want the full two arm, bring it in close, hold it for just long enough that it doesn’t get awkward, and then we can get on with it, hug
Whelp, news started leaking before I expected, so here’s an official update.

For those newcomers who are choosing to delve a little deeper than NBA Top Shot, they’re quickly learning that the NFT space is already relatively crowded with a lot of interesting projects.

Aight. I think I'm about ready to buy my first NFT of 2021.
What ya think I should pick up? I welcome all artists shills. Somewhere around .5 ETH or less.
Officially the top. My mom just asked if I heard about that NFT that sold for like 80 million dollars because the girls at work were talking about it 😳
Just got off another call in regards to a brand bringing their IPs to the NFT space.
Y'all have no clue how BONKERS the next 2-3 years are going to be.
Today is my 39th Birthday.
Exactly one week ago, I was laid off from my (web3) dream job.
I think the best way to cope w/ all the feels is to share a few things I've learned over the past year.

People arguing about who enters the space are thinking too SMALL.
NFTs arent going anywhere. They’re here to stay.
NFTs = Social Media 2.0
That’s what people aren’t grasping. In 10 years NFTs will be more than some obscure abbreviation. The tech will permeate every day life.

Apologies to anyone who I haven’t been able to follow up with the past two days. Unfortunately, I tested positive for Covid last night.

Heading out 2pm. If you’re around the Edison Hotel lobby, please stop & say hi. Doing a “Selfie and Sign,” take a selfie, sign my NFTNYC hoodie. If I don’t see you, thank you all 💜
Thanks to all who have pushed me & believed in me over the past year.
To grow my following to almost 6k is 🤯
To be able to step away from my day job & pursuit a career in this space is a literal dream come true.
Thank you.

NFTs aren’t “new beanie babies,” they’re a foundational layer for the next iteration of the web.
They’re email in 1999. Amazon in 2001. Social media in 07. Streaming in 2010.
All downplayed and accused of being snake oil. Yet, here we are… it’s 2022, & we use them all daily.
Having an article I wrote get mentioned by

Or that we have a unique lore hook that allows us to start looking at other abandoned NFT communities.
Or spaceships.
A lot of the

world is abstract, 3D, AI, scratched and mixed, AR, “trash art” (which is dope despite the assuming name) and technology/software based. Which I love and appreciate it. I’m curious, are there any traditional style artists doing cool things in the space?

as your very first DM to me feels like some stranger walking up and asking "Do you want to have sex?". Sorry, but that approach does not arouse my collector's lust. I prefer to be seduced.

Tomorrow we’re taking our kids to Disney for the first time ever.
It’s such a great moment for us. Two years ago we had a trip planned that never happened. It’s one of those things that really fucking sucked to have to do, but such is life. I knew we’d make it eventually.
Direct to Avatar.
Remember the term.
Want to talk about game changing? When we realize the possibilities that this technology brings it will allow us to be who we want to be because we will all be represented by our avatars.
Wanna know why the floor tanks so quickly after these drops lately?
Because there aren’t 10k people who want to join the community you JUST started.
Take longer to build community or start cutting the mint number significantly.
Don’t do either and you get the recent market.

It’s pretty surreal that a single NFT completely PAID OFF our debt and part of that is now owning our current car.

Getting stopped in public places by people who know you is kind of crazy.
Getting stopped by the NFT Paparazzi is a different type of weird. I wasn’t prepared, but I feel like my response was on point and on brand.
Why NFTs matter…
It's been a long ass time since I felt a vibe like this one... I couldn't help myself.
The question now that I've aped in; which one's THE one?
The next PFP?!
Had one of the scariest moments of my life last night. For about 30 seconds, which felt like forever, I legitimately thought that I might die.
Don’t forget, life is fragile. JPGs are not life.
Tomorrow is not promised.
