Time for Taylor Tokens

I’ve been thinking about creating a personal token for quite some time. Late last week, I finally did so. I tested the distribution of these tokens on a few subscribers to one of my Paragraph posts. I sent 100 tokens to all three collectors and all three collectors have confirmed their receipt. But that’s not the end of it.SubscribeWhy Create a Personal Token?What is a personal token and why should I (or anyone) create one? Excellent question.

5 Reasons to Re-Launch a Book

Recently, I announced the re-launch of a multi-author speculative fiction anthology book series I edited and published nine years ago. I decided to re-launch the books for several reasons, but one question I’ve been asked since making this decision is “Why?” To answer the question, I decided to write a blog post and offer an NFT collectible as a reminder to anyone who wants to know why an author or publisher would re-launch a book that has already been published once. Without further ado, I g...

Book Re-Launching Should Not Be Taken Lightly

To re-launch a book that has been published once requires a lot of consideration. It shouldn’t be taken light. That’s why I’d like to explain why I’ve decided to re-launch my multi-author speculative fiction anthology series Biblical Legends Anthology Series (BLAS). BLAS consists of three popular fiction anthologies: Garden of Eden, Sulfurings: Tales from Sodom & Gomorrah, and Deluge: Stories of Survival & Tragedy in the Great Flood. Each of these series is great reading all the way through. ...

Results: Paragraph Survey

As many of you know, I decided to conduct a survey asking for reader responses to some questions about Substack and Paragraph. Here’s what I discovered. With approximately 160 subscribers on Substack and a handful on both Paragraph and Mirror, plus the thousands of followers I have on various social media websites who could potentially read and take the survey, I received only 15 responses. That’s somewhat disappointing, especially considering I always get several times more opens from Substa...

Bitcoin and Ethereum are De-Correlating

Good morning! Today, you’ll be receiving two emails. One from Substack and one from Paragraph when I re-post to that platform. If you don’t receive both emails, please let me know. I have begun the migration from Substack to Paragraph, based on the recent survey results. Future emails will come from Paragraph, but I will be taking a week off from posting any emails at all. Two reasons for this:I leave Wednesday morning for Pennsylvania and will be on the road for about a week, maybe a little ...

Web3 Wednesday: How Did That Hacker Steal $10M ETH?

A hacker stole $10 million in ETH and no one knows how. Coinbase looks to the UK in possible relocation effort. The crypto exchange is preparing to go to war with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also threatened to leave the U.S. if his company loses against the SEC. Frankly, I can’t blame these companies for looking at greener pastures. The SEC is trying to regulate by enforcement, which is akin to legislation by executive action. Congress needs ...

Data Breach Affects MetaMask Users

Data breach affects 7,000 MetaMask users.* MetaMask itself wasn’t hacked. Rather, it was a connected third-party application. This signals that users must beware of connecting other apps to any crypto wallet.* This isn’t really related to Web3, but it could impact Web3. Twitter is bedding down with eToro to allow users to trade stocks and crypto. How could this impact Web3? Twitter owner Elon Musk has publicly stated he wants to turn Twitter into an “everything app.” Moving into finance is a ...

How ChatGPT Describes Paragraph and Mirror

If you haven’t seen it yet, on April 6, I posted a Twitter thread comparing Web3 publishing platforms Paragraph and Mirror.What you may not realize is that I created that Twitter thread with the assistance of ChatGPT. It’s not that I needed to do so, but I wanted to experiment with ChatGPT and it was the perfect opportunity to take the AI chat program for a test drive to discover its true capabilities. I’ve got to say, though I’m late to the party, I am a little bit impressed. I started with ...

BRC-20 Tokens Get a Rise

The combined market cap of Ordinals, BRC-20 tokens, has risen 682 percent to $137 million in only one week. Of course, what goes up must come down. And likely will go up again. Ethereum network fees jump 153 percent in 1 month. Ethereum gas fees have been high for a long time, but when they go higher, it benefits Layer-2 solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism. Both Binance and Coinbase see large outflows of staked ether. The Shanghai upgrade, a much anticipated Ethereum update, made it possible...

Coinbase Takes the Crypto Securities Fight to SEC

Good morning! I'm reeling from a cross-country trip. Drove from Texas to Pennsylvania. My wife, feisty Pomeranian Hawthorne, and I left East Texas last Wednesday, and made our trek to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania by way of the Deep South. We first stopped in Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas, to shoot a video of its historic district and self-guided walking tour for our YouTube channel. After staying the night in our campervan, we moved on to Leesville, Louisiana and created a video ther...

Only Six Days Left to Claim Your Book Launch Poster

Long-time followers of mine know that I’ve been writing for the Web since the 1990s. And I was a writer a long time before that, before there was even a Web. For that reason, I don’t call myself a Web3 writer even though I have begun exploring Web3 writing and publishing tools. The truth is, I’m a writer, and one that uses Web3 tools. Much of what I’ve learned so far can be attributed to Greg Younger, the Write3 Guy. That includes Mirror’s Subscribe-to-Mint function. I learned about it in Gre...
