What is Peaces & Pieces?Peaces & Pieces is the title of a poetry series I put together; to mint as NFTs and experiment with monetizing content on web3. The series explores themes and perspectives around the blockchains, DAOs and web3 communities. It is a cumulation of my thoughts and opinions on what I have learnt from the space, as well as being involved in the few areas I have been in; primarily through banklessDAO, DAOpunks and also the in Cardano community - generally speaking.Why Peaces ...

I minted my first NFT today @viamirror. It was fun, a bit scary, and also exhilarating. Love & War is the first piece from the poetry NFT series. The idea was to discuss the price-mania and candlestick watching that came from my first introduction to crypto - HODLing. While the allure of making money was the initial hook that baited me into web3, I soon realised I wasn’t playing as much of a role as I wanted in contributing to the space. I also began chasing coins and feeling intense FOMO; th...

Here is the blueprint for the w3bscribing series. This experiment is to test the monetization of content, specifically poetry-as-NFT, over the course of a hundred @viamirror posts. In the process, I aim to gauge the usability of @viamirror platform for publishing written content, minting NFTs, crowdfunding, and overall content monetization. While these posts are currently daily, the frequency may change as required. Timeline will run between May and June, 2022. On publishing w3bscribing…(0), ...

Facing a blank page with a pen is not as intimidating as watching an empty screen with frozen fingers. What to write? I’ve learnt that the ‘what’ that works best for me is the one which flows naturally - especially when it involves creative writing. And with any endeavour engaged with enthusiasm, learning what content has been written is a natural progression to find one’s voice - and prose demands this. So what Style? Which Form? Poetry is my preferred form of writing. Perhaps it would be a ...

How do you find peace in a war between blockchains? After curiously opening my first blockchain wallet and buying my first cryptocurrencies - I became disillusioned with the ‘mooning’ narrative. The price fluctuations were not slowing down, and my participation seemed to me superficial, in comparison to those coding and building the tools I was using. I wanted to know more. In some way I cannot remember, I came across the Bankless community and became very interested in the idea of going bank...

I took a stroll across the web to learn about poetry NFTs. A lot is buzzing. And while excited, I already feel I have postponed my endeavour for too long. The idea to publish on web3 came from the idea that Instagram is perhaps not the best platform for publishing text-heavy content. Also, having DAOed for some time and learnt a bit about the OpenSeas, SuperRares, Looks and other marketplaces, I thought NFTs provided the perfect use case to test monetizing my content. Researching the poetry N...

This is an experiment in learning-by-doing. I have procrastinated long enough, and have now decided to start this - thing. The thing is writing; more specifically web3 publishing. My objective is to see how exactly I can monetize my writing using the Mirror platform. The target is daily, consistent publishing. The goal is learning by doing. Let’s start.

Kairos - when is the opportune time to write? Is there such a thing? I have grown a habit of noticing weird time sequences - 11:11; 12:34; 10:01 - things like that. At first, I would want to put on some significance to the time and make something out of them - make a wish or think of what important task am I begin called to complete - but over time, I have noticed that a part of me enjoys playing this game. What I mean is - I seem to unconsciously look for time sequences, and actively. With w...

I'm a DAOpunk, but I haven’t been DAOpunking of late. On one hand I’ve needed to focus on other things outside of web3, but on the other I’ve decided not to half-ass important work if I do not have the bandwidth to properly dedicate my time and attention to projects.https://www.daopunks.io/I got interested in the DAOpunks project because of the vision to transition corporate employees to DAO workers, and after the project NFT mint, have focused on creating a grants program: https://www.d...

Writing is great, and it can be a pain sometimes. To write the Peaces & Pieces collection of poems, I focused on drawing parallels between seeming paradoxes and opposites I saw in the conversations and topics among crypto tweets, discord servers and Instagram memes. Then, to actual write a poem, I focused on getting the right first line. The first line usually unlocks for me a flow of storytelling based on the igniting thought and following stream of connected words, thoughts, feelings and - ...

Enter the multihyphenate. What is the cost of focus? In @redphonecrypto’s 69 Theses for 2022, I came across the above caption, #38, and found it intriguing how my FOMO meter breaks whenever I try to focus on doing one thing. https://redphone.substack.com/p/69?s=r I consider myself a w3b multihyphenate of sorts; I browse. I research. I Twitter. I Discord. I Ape. I Shill. I Mint. I HODL. And occasionally I may FUD, FOMO, GM, WAGMI. For now, I mostly going bankless, DAOpunking, Cardaknowing and ...
