$20M feels low when individual NFTs are selling for 8 figures within the year

A real business listed on Onyx - a product we only started building two months ago.

This one surprised me because I initially planned on targeting web3 businesses first (crypto native users). 

However, Brian of Reno Rennsport reached out and we had a two hour discussion about how the current financial system is broken for most small businesses:

- He's been burdened by fraudulent credit card chargeback scams on his business (stablecoins will solve this)
- Getting an SBA loan takes ~9 months 
- There's no marketplace if he ever wants to sell his business

Onyx is showing people that there's a new way of doing business - fully onchain. And that can be tokenized.

Onyx is tokenizing real equity in real businesses

This use case is not a matter of if, but when

Music

Getting back into music production lately and almost forgot that you can hear shapes

Diving deeper into FL Studio now for producing electronic; I do a lot of live mixing, but no production, so I want to finally change that.

I am reasonably good with Logic, but not FL, and pretty beginner with sound design as a whole.

Any resources for my path to getting goated are appreciated

The memecoin meta in its current state is nihilistic and, in many cases, soulless

NFTs were more purpose driven, creative, relatable, and fun

The only reason NFTs are not so back is because they don't have liquidity pools and they must be sold/bought in with all or nothing

Product-market fit: ChatGPT, Coinbase, Farcaster

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Farcaster

X may be auto-banning accounts due to "gm" posts being seen as spam and engagement bait.

I don't want to be that guy, but.. Farcaster solves this.

I just want Telegram UX with Signal security.

Is that too much to ask?

memecoins are a never ending hamster wheel of gain -> loss -> gain -> loss

free yourself anon

just long BTC and you will thank yourself for it

On NFTs in the Gaming space

NFT tech will be added to non-legacy games and will succeed if and only if they can be entirely abstracted away from the end-user, whilst still allowing that end-user to:
- Actually own their assets
- Build and experience interoperably based upon said assets (this encompasses a lot)

Not even NFT vets should be able to see that xyz game backs in-game assets with NFTs until they get into the weeds on it; that's how abstracted they should be.

Until then, normies are likely not touching any NFT or crypto game, period.

Gaming

Not enough GTA VI crashing out on the Farcaster TL today WHAT is everyone so distracted with
