Post-Capitalism
-> Be the crazy dancing guy. There's one video I keep thinking about over and over again. Most people have seen the short version. But here's the whole 7-minute sequence with commentary from a different angle. The video starts with people at a festival recording this one dude's attempts at dancing. The people recording him think he's making a fool of himself. The fact that there are several angles of this guy dancing means that, at this point, the crowd is well aware and w...

How NFTs solved piracy (but nobody knows it yet)
IntroductionAt the heart of our modern world lies an elegant yet fundamentally flawed concept: Intellectual Property (IP). It stands as a guardian, insisting that ideas can and should be owned and that this ownership must be legally protected. However, when scrutinized against the inherent nature of ideas, this model begins to show its cracks. Ideas are not tangible assets limited by physical boundaries; they are endlessly replicable, escaping the traditional constraints of scarcity and excl...

Rethinking Revenue Models: Wallet as a Service on Decentralized Social Graphs.
Introduction A lot of innovation in crypto comes from discovering novel revenue models and funding mechanisms. One only needs to look at the ICO craze and the NFT summer as novel revenue models that brought many new use cases to the ecosystem. Each of these mechanisms leveraged a property of decentralized networks to create never before seen capital transfers. However, in time they also highlighted their weaknesses as market participants realized again that there are no silver bullets.Revenue...

The Magic AI Ball: An Experiment in AI and NFTs 🎱🧠👁️
To marry nostalgia with modern technology, I embarked on a journey to reimagine a classic novelty item - the Magic 8 Ball. This journey led to the creation of the Magic AI Ball, a project that pushes the boundaries of how we interact with AI and understand ownership in the digital world. Unlike the traditional Magic 8 Ball with limited responses, the Magic AI Ball utilizes the power of AI to provide more diverse and intriguing insights. It goes beyond the simple yes-no-maybe paradigm, providi...

The Living Canvas: Interactive Digital Art as the Future of Expression
Art, a reflection of human creativity and imagination, has always been an evolving mirror of its time. From the rudimentary, ochre-tinted cave paintings of prehistoric times to the grandeur of the Renaissance frescoes and from the daring audacity of modernist abstractions to the immersive digital installations of today, each epoch has expressed its unique spirit through its dominant form of art. In the dimly lit caves of Lascaux, our ancestors told their stories on rocky canvases, their simpl...
