thoughts on minting 🧵

my instinct while watching roaringkitty was:

"i wish i could mint this"

at some point in the future, it becomes a cultural artifact. proving you were there when kitty resurfaced will have social value and surely some financial upside.

because that's why we collect anything at all, isn't it?

we want to evoke memories and tell a story, and ultimately use that to connect with others who share our interests and values.

maybe someday we'll get to a point where peeling off a small piece of a moment on the internet can become completely ubiquitous.

the ability to mint anything (read: capturing some material from a moment in time) adds a new dimension to collecting—what is considered a basic human instinct.

instead of vinyl records, stamps, sneakers or baseball cards, imagine you can tell a richer story about yourself with moments.
