Yards 🌳 this week, "Troubled Times", reflects on the changes with Sound, Nifty Gateway, Foundation, Farcaster, TBA & everything else not only being really bad for creators in web3, but I don't see a path to recovery

Imagine if it was ME buying foundation hahaha

Aiming to rate (at least) a dozen NFTs a day on $FIVESTAR. Today I'm in the OG @foundation shared contract flipping through random ones. https://five---star.com/#/browse/ethereum/0x3B3ee1931Dc30C1957379FAc9aba94D1C48a5405

Today on $FIVESTAR (buy the token), I'm rating NFTs from the OG @foundation shared contract. Hitting the shuffle button to grab and rate random ones. Dive in if you'd like here: https://five---star.com/#/browse/ethereum/0x3B3ee1931Dc30C1957379FAc9aba94D1C48a5405

Today's listening to kick my day off is hipster classic No Kill No Beep Beep by Q and Not U https://open.spotify.com/album/3165OlhBYKzEZrI2kml247

Upped to USB Club for the first time in a while. The idea of a gated file sharing network that requires you to use a specific USB drive to access is just…so good.

Thinking a lot about how good it is to produce my own music. Feels like through sample and sound selection, I'm able to say things that are either hard to say, would take too long, or are impossible to say through lyrics.

I…like the Ye apology?

I'm on $FIVESTAR (buy some) rating NFTs on the @superrare contract today. I just added a shuffle button so it'll feed you random NFTs from the collection. No price data, just visuals. Join in and tag your favorite SuperRare collector or artist for me to check out: https://five---star.com/#/browse/ethereum/0x41A322b28D0fF354040e2CbC676F0320d8c8850d

Unsure what to focus on this week. Might need to put my phone on airplane mode for a little bit and think.

We see someone actually get killed on camera and we just argue about who’s right or wrong. Shit crazy. They got us.

I think a lot about that stat of how few adults run at full speed after the age of 30 for the rest of their lives. Gotta get out there and sprint.

My current thoughts around $FIVESTAR 1. Am I better off with a page instead of a channel? 2. Is the site too complex? Do I need to emphasize the simplest use of it? 3. Implementing the token is very “once you pop the fun don’t stop” so I’m hesitant. Anyway, talk soon!

NEW YARDS 🌳 "Simple Complexity" is about how our ideas are complex but we need to bring people into them through simpler methods, or they'll be overwhelmed or never understand them.

Something funny about heading to my Zora profile in my computer and it loading my trade history first despite having over 200 pieces of media I’ve made there
