When I first came across Interface last week, a mobile app available for iPhone and on the Google Play Store that lets users follow and track the onchain history created by other ETH addresses, I downloaded it in a second.Installation & OnboardingSetting it up took like an hour though. Being mobile-only presented some challenges linking my ETH address since they don’t make it easy to link a desktop MetaMask address. I ended up needing to use two different mobile devices so I could download, i...

niftytime[Purchases & Prunings] October 2023
Collecting in October was chill and relaxed. A welcome cooldown from a more active than forecast previous few months. There’s a habitual itch that collecting definitely scratches, but just like any other habit forming activity, it’s crucial to set redlines, especially when the medium of exchange is crypto (aka the slipperiest and easiest form of money ever invented) to ensure things remain consistently fun for the long run. Thankfully, my redline is simple: I only collect what I love - or at ...

Writing and collecting are very similar. For me at least, I do both to remember.
So, it makes sense to combine the two from time to time.
This is the first of what I’d like to turn into a monthly retrospective that looks back at the digital works of art or other NFTs I may have bought or sold in the preceding month.
Below is a brief list of what I’ve either added to my collection or pruned from it.
Curating a good collection is like bonsai in the sense that it happens slowly, but surely over time, and as long as you’re [objectively] tuned into how your collection is growing, you’ll naturally be able to (and want to) thoughtfully trim, pinch back, and/or direct things in a new direction.

Themes & Variations #127 by Vera Molnár, with Martin Grasser (Artblocks)
Paraverse Parcels (Opensea)
Paraverse is a project that allows unique parcel owners to create their own digital worlds atop real-world locations
I scooped 3x parcels all based in Seoul that are situated on top of the Grand Hyatt Hotel located on Namsan, a parcel that includes the Hybe HQ (KPOP mecca for insane K-Pop fans), and a parcel that includes my all-time top 3 restaurant
CodeTrip #39 by Paradoxx & NineOverZero (Prohibition Art)
All sales from July were tax loss harvests.
I offloaded several editions from Shepard Fairey’s DEGENERATE/REGENERATE collection that I paid far too much for back at the end of 2021 and utilized the tax loss harvest website Harvest.art to let go of a handful of pfp trash also dating back to 2021.
