personally believe liquid artist tokens will work once they have ownership, royalties, or other rights attached to them in other words some reason to invest in them long term, instead of trading and speculating on them

did a little light chasing this morning 🌅

i still don’t think it’s fully hit me that someone like myself who has zero coding experience or knowledge can build a working and useful personal app in less than an hour lol

itap in cozumel last wknd 🏝️

hope we see the day onchain archival and privacy are prioritized just as much as onchain markets the art studio, the art gallery, and the art market can all exist onchain. the family photo album can exist onchain. journals and records can exist onchain. poems and books. one off thoughts. markets should be optional for these, not the default. from my own photography perspective, i’d prefer most of my photos live onchain instead of in centralized databases for that to happen, the default flow needs to be putting the photo onto a chain that i know for near certainty won’t be going away in the coming yrs/decades, using decentralized storage that i can say the same, through an interface that prioritizes these above all, and then be able to determine if its public facing or private in regards to the interface, full flexibility for the person putting the photo, or art, etc onchain, not reliant on a person or entity to keep a front end application up and going. where if a front end fails completely, there is nothing needed to be done by myself other than start using a new interface bc i already have full sovereignty and ownership of the photo, this ownership is the default from start to finish and to be little more clear this isn’t a knock on onchain markets and how they’ve been built up to date, i love onchain markets, onchain markets are the first adopted use case of this technology - granted the ownership of a lot of tokens does need fixed, but that’s another topic - so when i say “prioritize” im just hoping we see permanence and true sovereignty for the individual prioritized too in an equal way, to date i personally feel it’s been lacking in most onchain apps built for the every day person in my view, if markets are 1A in terms of most needed use case for this technology globally, then archival paired with privacy options is a close 1B, i’d make the case the latter is the only reliable foundation for the former the world needs a way to preserve what is put on the internet without it falling into the hands of a handful of companies that may or may not exist even 20-30 yrs from now tldr - maximize sovereignty and permanence for the individual, compete on the frontend user experiences

i took a photo from inside a sea cave

happy friday fc! don’t forget to live 🫡

a few things that matter that aren’t price >the need to have ownership and rights to the things we build, create, and invest in on the internet >the need to be able to trust things we see and use on the internet >the need and importance of permanent archival on the internet >the need for privacy on the internet why are we here? i believe w time all of the above will be solved w crypto, the ppl building here have continuously made progress on each for over a decade now it’s not easy to ignore short term price, goes against our human nature, but i’m optimistic that the ppl who somehow find ways to tune it out and continue building tools that give freedom and rights to others, they’ll be on the right side of history

gm fc! ☕️ a quick thought that came to mind while i was meditating this am - what if we thought less about becoming something else and thought more about what we already are? what would that do for what we can give to the world and receive from the world today? for me, as someone who always wants to learn new things, become “better” in so many different ways, i think that constant striving at times has made it difficult to see what i can already give and receive, somehow i have to work on balancing these out, they are both important and too often i neglect the current version of me

i took a photo in playa tonight 🔥💨

what’s up farcastooooooooooors? missed u all!

some thoughts on what i'd love to see for artists on fc and/or base this is something i personally have a hard time with and have heard the same from other artists rn the minting, posting, and distributing of a photo are fragmented - i want to do all of these: mint all of my photos for archival post the photo on fc distribute the photo itself in my view, a "1,000 true fans" model is simple to understand while also likely providing the most financial upside for an artist, and if there is a gallery on the profile this creates a way to post once and earn ongoing as ppl explore the gallery, let the artist price each edition at whatever USDC they want, for me i'd prob just set this to $1 this aligns w the art collectors too who in general prefer scarcity a mini app could potentially work, but i think a mini app for this purpose still creates quite a fragmented flow - when i can collect my artist friends art directly in the feed or on their profile gallery (without them needing to post the mint page via the mini app), and have it be the image itself im collecting instead of the cast, i would be all over this as a collector, and as an photographer it would be all i use to put my photos onchain going foward onchain art is in its VERY early phases, and we have a chance to do whats right and give the artists full ownership, freedom, and flexibility 🌱

a few more photos from istanbul 🇹🇷

happy water wednesday fc 🌊

idk if it’s ever been more important to realize that “success” is unique to every single person we don’t need to conform, not even a little bit
