the contextual web
[unedited from original Nicheless posts 1 and 2, April 14, 2022] Immediately after learning about NFTs, my mind shifted to the implications the "own-able internet" would have on platforms, and the way individuals interact online. Then after meeting Evin, learning about verifiable credentials, and bridging technical solutions to many of the questions I'd deemed unanswerable years prior, it all made sense.

2021 reflection: the double edged sword of success
my 2021 reflection, better late than never. and better done than perfect. deal with it. tldr: this is the tale of two 2021s the best part about 2021 was watching the success stories. there’s nothing more fun than watching the underdog succeed - watching a new artist sell their first piece, watching a flipper do the seemingly impossible, watching others go from paying off debt to buying their parents homes. but that’s only ever part of the story. one small part of one person’s long story. as I...

(If you need a quick refresher on terms like NFTs, web3, crypto, blockchain - check the bottom of this document) There are a LOT of really incredible resources from people 10x smarter than me online, but my goal is not to get you to invest in crypto, or e...
