Two years ago put up some artwork in Hong Kong that earned me an arrest order that’s still active today. https://apnews.com/article/hong-kong-art-censorship-no-rioters-amadon-956803ea3b5daf5c6ad8b68c55245c25

The AI boom will primarily benefit those with an understanding of AI. You'll see the opportunities sooner and dodge the red herrings more often. Play with MJ, GPT, DeepSeek, Hugging Face. Can't overstate the importance of adjacency.

Learning the difference between mechanical glitches/tube bending/vhs, digital glitches via hex or code manipulation, and glitch effects in post will separate great art and collections from the rest

Chimera is an open source, free tool that lets you embed any file (like a .pdf, .wav, .mp3, or alternate art version) or even entire folders directly into a .png, .gif, or .mp4. When you mint the resulting media file on any existing contract, it appears and functions normally, viewed as an image or played as a video. However, if someone renames the file extension to .zip and opens it with a standard extraction tool (WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc.), they’ll see the files you attached. This approach means you can include non-standard formats in a single token (e.g., an album folder, behind-the-scenes images, PDFs, or alternate artwork versions) without needing a specialized platform. Artists can now pack multiple layers of content into a single media file, everything is included in the minted file but remains accessible to collectors who know where to look. https://t.co/rVBgdSwuhu

There's no world where crypto or digital art aren't more important in the future than they are today. Ignore the noise and carry on 🫡

Need to release my AI voice model publicly so I can have plausible deniability for anything I’ve said or will say.

If people knew how easy it is to make something that resembles art now, they’d talk more about concept.

Challenge anyone to justify why gold or gems inherently deserve more value than memecoins. If value hinges on societal consensus, both are equally arbitrary and valid.

Price isn’t what keeps the masses away from collecting digital art. Zora tried it, Rodeo is trying it. It’s not a price issue, it’s a percieved value issue we collectively need to address.

Let's see someone build a tool for artists to create their own individual marketplace sites that unify each artist’s entire body of work into a single storefront. It’s not about big platforms anymore; it’s about giving artists full ownership, letting them easily configure their brand identity, and providing a frictionless experience for collectors in a decentralized manner. By unifying works from multiple collections onto a single artist-controlled platform, discoverability improves and we move beyond the days of Linktrees and scattered sites. Decentralization demands artists, not centralized entities, hold control over transactions, data, and presentation to create a truly open, artist-empowering ecosystem. Looking at you @TransientLabs and @manifoldxyz 🏴

Sad to see MP fold. Good group of people there. That being said, decentralization requires tooling to empower individuals (see @manifoldxyz and @TransientLabs) or platforms to pivot to gallery/artist management models. Art has always been about individual relationships. Centralized sales platforms for art just aren’t a good fit here as social media ties the room together instead.

Artist rights matter. The freedom to transact should shield creators from being coerced into giving up control just to put their work on someone else’s platform. It’s on artists to stand up and secure these rights, no one will hand them over.

This isn’t my first Rodeo. This licensing clause is shit for artists and rehashing much of the worst of web2. To make this less opaque - once you upload, Rodeo can use, reproduce, and distribute your work in any way they see fit, for as long as they want, anywhere in the world, and without paying you a dime. That’s a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to do whatever they want. It also doubles down on the same centralized structures we need to escape. They can host, index, and profit from your work in massive, locked-down databases, effectively recreating the same walled gardens that gave creators so little say in how their art was circulated or monetized. Slapping a “Web3” label on top doesn’t fix that problem.
