LGHTBased: I Need a Dev!
In August I minted Based. “A token for the early adopters.” Open for the whole month, it closed just shy of 46.5K tokens minted and over 33k unique wallets. The most resonant piece in my young onchain discography by many multiples. Immediately I felt understanding emerge in regard to Jack Butcher’s words about his Checks and Opepen projects. Retrofitted for this post, he spoke of the impetus to experiment with each collection (initially just single-piece open editions) coming after seeing the...

There are two parts to The Obvious Series:
Simple explanations for newer entrants
Abstract wtf are we doing here reflections
A real life item bag for your own MMORPG experience on the internet.
A crypto wallet is much more than its traditional namesake. It is better to think of it as a repository or digital backpack.
It serves as:
your bank account
hard drive for minted & collected files
portfolio if you decide to mint your work
storefront as a creator, author, podcaster, musician, etc
access card to crypto utilities (DEXs, DeFi, NFT brands, Protocols, DAOs, etc)
In a world of increasing connectivity, it is imperative that we lessen lag time. Though it would be nice to assume that humans become more patient with the advent of efficient technologies… it’s quite a naive assumption.
We adapt; that’s what makes us human. More efficient tech means more efficient humans. And the crypto wallet… well it’s an order of magnitude more efficient than its offchain counterpart.
A personal space that can hold all your digital valuables, and it weighs less than an atom. A bank account, a hard drive, portfolio, storefront, access card, message terminal, and point of public record - the crypto wallet is an affront to the traditional wealth generator know as The Middleman.
In the physical realm the middleman is a needed, and valuable, economic role. To enjoy a hotdog at Fenway Park we need many intermediaries. But for you to make a personal finance decision, buy a digital item, sell your work, or access crypto utilities?
How long does it take to wire 10k at Bank of America? How much do you have to pay monthly to sell courses on Shopify? Are you allowed to invest in early start ups or market make on Wall Street?
Some of these offchain constraints are bugs, but many are features. The crypto wallet brings a revolutionary sense of clarity to traditional systems of coordination. It is a step toward a more sovereign economy. One where, if able, we deal directly with each other.
