Was the lead engineer at NeoPets (10/2000 - 11/2002)

Focused on scaling (30m+ users), security (hackers), but also built guilds & games

After NP, had some success/exits as founder/cto (+ many lessons), 30+ 😇  investments

Love builders, helpers, and of course, Farcaster

Feel like a trip back to Neopia? 🙃

Welcome to the warpside!

What is your outlook for the future of art for the masses?

hiya! love this question because the artist and builder community are very important to me

for context, traditional art lover that was introduced to the nft art world late 2022

there will always be a desire for physical but the adoption of digital is inevitable, if for no other reason than just generational shifts

Some thoughts:
- as web3 UX/UI improves, adoption will accelerate
- @base helps facilitate adoption as well with better economics for both artists/collectors
- love "phygital". eg, I did an investment in a startup that does physical/digital art drops. not going to plug here, but love 1:1 physical:digital.

Fan of phygital too - digital is a great way to start a relationship and physical to take it to the next level
