## Content

Hello friends 👋, Before getting started, I just wanted to welcome the +2,000 members who joined over the past week. Today’s email is a hidden gems edition, where I curate art, products, and content in the blockchain and art space. It usually goes on Sundays, but this past week has been heated with the release of the Academy by Blind Gallery — we’ll get back to the normal schedule next week. Let's get into it...💎 Gem of the dayTH3 B00TL3GER by STR4NGETHINGIn the rolling hills of Renaissance Italy, a cheeky and daring B00TL3GER had found a unique location to sell his fake N1k3 gear. He had set up shop on a secluded hillside, where he had ingeniously repurposed an old C0C4-C0L4 vending machine, transforming it into a vending machine that alowed the purchasing of imitation footwear and rolled-up t-shirts. STR4NGETHING is a pioneering AI artist who produces art inspired by the Mandela Effect —a situation in which a large mass of people believe that an event occurred when it did not. He has received international acclaim across multiple publications, including COMPLEX, VOGUE, and HYPEBEAST.Collect here📕 Interesting ReadRead Write Own by Chris DixonThis new book by entrepreneur and investor Chris Dixon details how blockchains will reshape the internet.
