🙌 A bit of extra cash to work with for Tezcon, too. 😂

Sold! I was shopping my #Cryptopunk around to a few places but rather than trying to get too greedy with it I decided to let it go at the current "floor price". Still, having originally bought it for $100 - the returns are not bad at all. 😂 https://cryptopunks.app/cryptopunks/details/8973

I made the decision to sell largely because I need to start focusing on my Tezos stuff and clearing my portfolio of older items I think will help me stay on track. This is the last of my holdings with Ethereum and now I'm free! 🕊️ It was good while it lasted, #8973 - 8 years is a long time to be holding onto something, really.

The floor price is starting to creep up. #8973 is still for sale, btw - it's priced around where it needs to be, I'd say. https://cryptopunks.app/cryptopunks/details/8973 #cryptopunk #ethereum

Brian Eno: “whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart.”

I sure got some interesting gifts this year. I'm kind of at that point in my life where getting socks is genuinely exciting. Also, my brother knows what I'm into. 🤣

Copyright licensing is poised to be a $40B market by 2032. And NFTs need to be on the forefront of this sooner than later. https://substack.com/@ryangtanaka/note/c-82964127?r=gdbpp

I have a question for the #Cryptopunks folks - I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep mine for the longer term. The floor price has gone up recently, but I don't really have the time to try to push my particular one (#8973) for sale, so I'm just thinking of liquidating it at its current floor. A simple question: if the punks appreciate in value over time, what would be the reason for it doing so? #Ethereum #NFTs https://cryptopunks.app/cryptopunks/details/8973

The problems of the world can be blamed on fantasy overwhelming science fiction in popularity, cf Ted Chiang definition that sf is about special rules while fantasy is about special people “Tech” insofar it’s a Great-Man-Theory narrative, is literally fantasy by this definition, and has lost its way for that reason. It used to be science fiction, “new rules” thinking.

A very common story, really https://www.teia.cafe/purchase/Lz8APUtUMVJKNlBiakhwd2MzTTVydzVzMk5ibWVmd2J1d2JkeHRvbiYBPTgyMjc3NSYCPXR6MVpWek1WajZFalJvRE5GTUNndUc3bkdkcW1EN2FhdTlrUwAA

The proposal for @TeiaCommunity's cover-image generator feature is up! The poll will run for 1 week and will be decided by a simple Yes/No majority. https://teia.art/poll/36 A reminder that anyone with at least 1 $TEIA token can both participate and propose polls as necessary, even for personal projects. We have a Twitter group where we talk about DAO activities on TEIA - if you're interested in joining and staying in the loop, let me know and I can add you there. #Tezos

Don't know about the rest of you but I'm kind of a purist when it comes to music so I actually really don't like making cover images. So my next proposal for @TeiaCommunity will be adding this to the minting process. Most of the code is already written - just need approval from the DAO now. A poll will be coming shortly.😀 #Tezos

How to describe #Tezos and @TEIACommunity music in a nutshell? It's very "raw", I'd say. We have all kinds of musicians from all around the world, from varying backgrounds, styles, skill levels/training, and motivations. But the thing that keeps it together is the sense of directness and authenticity you can't get anywhere else - even offline, I'd argue. This is a kind of thing people say they want, but often don't seek. It's sort of like people who say they want "honesty" but runs away at the first sign of it coming. Is the world ready for it? We'll find out, I guess. 👀 https://www.teia.cafe/radio

Stability testing for music apps is pretty rough - so much things to check when things are playing back in real-time. Now it's time to play the game - is our app buggy or is it Experimental Music ™️? 😂 https://www.teia.cafe/radio #Tezos
