Foone's like 90% whitenoise and then just these beautiful goddamn pieces of art.

So that's just below 10% better than the rest of twitter.

twitter would be served by having a 'only show first post in a thread' view because, as much as i like foone's finds, the fifty related photo posts flood my timeline

Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

An artist friend I haven't really spoken much too since college IM'ed me the other day to ask if I worked in crypto because he wanted to know more about NFTs. I admitted I didn't know much about them and reserved my opinions that I think they're a scam along with everything else in the crypto space, but otoh he's an artist so if he's seeing poo poo on the news about idiots paying 5 figgies to own a jpg or whatever then hell yeah dude get in on that gold rush.

no, you spend 5 figgies to own a hash of a jpeg, which is stored in the blockchain, so when it gets stolen, you don't own it no more.

the great thing about NFTs is you don't have to be an artist or have any connection to one to get the five figgies based on their work, or give them any of the money

I would love it if an artist released an nft that made 6 figures then straight up released the same art as a new nft again.

you know how, when someone buys something, they get a receipt? now imagine if that receipt got stapled to every other receipt for every other purchase that has ever been made, which gets photocopied and sent to everyone who has signed up for it. and also the paper has the CO2 cost of burning a square mile of rainforest.

No, you're missing the important part. You know how a map and the land are two different things? Well the land is copyrighted art and NFTs are people selling you squares of paper from one very specific map.
