NFT: Not For Trade
NFT might die as a trade but will live as a tech. Recently Rolling Stone published an article about how NFTs are dead sparking a debate, so I thought this might be the right time to write about a topic that I wanted to talk about for some time which is how the majority of the people who aren’t from the NFT space have this perception about NFT which is not very much true. To be literal an NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token and the definition is: A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital id...

Growth - Random vs Compound
What people call success is sometimes randomness and often times a compound of failures.There are two types of growth, one that lasts and the other that fades. Compound is the one that lasts and random is the one that fades. If we zoom out the whole world is nothing but randomness and probability. So what exactly is the random vs compound growth I’m talking about? To dig further let’s proceed with a vague example: There are two businessmen in the same business, Businessman A has been in the b...

Community is where everyone is an artist and audience at the same.
Every creative's journey embarks with the aspiration of building their audience, their 1000 true fans, who support and invest in the creations and concepts born from the creative’s intuition. This support enables the artist to pursue their craft full-time without concerns about other means of income. However, building an audience can be a difficult endeavor, and the path to doing so varies depending on one's niche. The journey to finding your audience often involves trial and error, a process of discovery and learning.
Let’s first focus on some major differences between an audience and a community:


For aspiring creatives or creatives who are struggling to establish an audience, a community can be really helpful. Communities are formed with people that share the same passion, communities bring together individuals who share the same madness for their craft. Finding a community that perfectly aligns with your uniqueness might seem unreal, but that doesn’t mean a community for you doesn’t exist. Your style and craft might be unique but there’s something that can still help you find your community and that’s your niche, try to find communities within the same niche. Another way would be to form your own community but finding people for your community would also be as tough as finding an audience for your craft.
So if you are planning to start or have started but struggling to build your audience, try joining an existing community that falls under your niche.
Thank you!
