A game of Life and Death.The thinking:This market is one big MMORPG - it’s got PvE and PVP. There are guilds, factions, and all kinds of players. Ironically enough, the stakes are everything.

As I dive deeper into what it means to be in cryptoart I take notice of all the players actively moving towa...

The problem:I ask myself what is a noticeable barrier to Alien Boys growth? What are the most common ‘problems’ I’ve heard since mint day?? The ‘aesthetic’.

An eight-year long art experimentThe experimentRoaring 20s is a 'meta painting'. An experiment in the developing relationship of artist and collector, fine art market perseverance, and cryptoart as an idea. This is an eight-part piece. Each year the new piece is swapped into the metadata replacing the previous. Whoever is holding Roaring 20s in its final phase (2030) receives all 8 parts of the piece in newly minted 1/1s. Each piece captures significant features of each year in the ...

Logo change for Abstraverse.Thoughts behind short to mid-term roadmap:Just to expand a little further, what has been mentioned (in the last mirror/discord post) is just the short to mid-term vision of this project.
