    The truest form of privilege is to be born with a desire for constant change. Most people find change uncomfortable. But in the modern world, becoming wealthy and happy depends on embracing constant change and growth. If you naturally enjoy change, count your blessings!

    🚨 Art Emergency!! 🚨 There is a debate happening rn on @Wikipedia that has the potential to * officially categorize NFTs as ‘not art’ on all of Wikipedia. * Wikipedia is a global source of truth. Having NFTs categorized as ‘not art’ would be a disaster! 🧵:

    I got depressed about crypto, NFTs & how full of scams ponzis etc everything has become. Then my girlfriend reminded me of how many artists have had their lives changed by @niftygateway & web3 & it cheered me up So many artists can support themselves doing what they love

    Some news — after almost 4 years, @gcockfoster and I are departing @gemini and are passing the baton at @niftygateway. This journey has been an incredible ride, but Griffin and I are founders at heart and we want to start another company. 🧵 w/ some thoughts below:

    For Valentine’s Day this year, my girlfriend Ashley got me custom M&Ms with my @doodles printed on them, all the same color as my Doodle I am so lucky to have someone who understands my love of NFTs!

    Ah yes - ‘MaxcoinUSA2014’ - this is certainly the twitter handle of a real American. Definitely not a crypto bot account also co-opted to do online racism.

    The NFT market goes in cycles. PFP projects are the hot thing right now, but a rotation back to traditional crypto art is a matter of when, not if

    During the @niftygateway w2w madness event, I'm planning to scoop up some @poetslost by @muratpak. I sincerely believe that @muratpak is one of the most influential & consequential artists of our era. When the history of crypto art is written, they will feature prominently in it

    Feels to me like the NFT market is starting to shift back towards art and away from PFP projects. The nice thing about art having no roadmap is that you can’t overpromise and underdeliver. What you see is what you get

    I refused to believe @antoniogm tweet about San Francisco Goodwill not accepting donations because of Marie Kondo because it was too far fetched. So I went to drop off some stuff - got rejected and told that Marie Kondo had overwhelmed them Can confirm this is happening 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    That is absurd. In NYC, the rich actually build things for everyone to enjoy. Barry Diller just paid a beautiful new public park! In SF, the rich don't fund the arts, don't build public monuments NYC is a much healthier societal example of how to be rich

    I got my punk for $200 and it’s worth $80,000 today. NFTs are down a lot, but still worth way, way more then they were 4 years ago! And NFTs are still a transformative technology for artists. The company I founded paid out> $500 million to digital artists - more then Substack
