Clods & Cryptoart
Clods, a living series or - depending on your perspective - an entire universe of art begun by Italian artist Fabiano Speziari back in 2018, have been on my mind. At the same time, this thing of ours called cryptoart is in labor, trying to give birth to itself, again. Or maybe, as I think the case may be, cryptoart was already born more fully into life. Whereas cryptoart previously felt like a cohesive movement where everyone pretty much knew everyone else, this current phase, because it’s so...

Onchain Spaces, Places & Destinations
Smart Contracts are onchain spaces native to blockchains. A space is a location that’s always fundamentally open to human presence and activity, but not intrinsically or necessarily a home to that as such. Places then, by contrast, are locations where folks are doing things. When you go on vacation you go some place. You return to the best places. Places that many return to and desire to go become destinations. Destinations can be physical as well as digital. IG, TikTok, YT, your favorite blo...

American Freedom
There’s something about summer in the states that just feels like freedom. Maybe it’s the warmer weather. Maybe it’s the verdant and flourishing environs. Whatever the reason may be, to me at least, American Freedom peaks during the summer months. This past weekend in particular I was struck with a feeling of total freedom and the immense amount of golden opportunities available to citizens of this great country at any given time. I was so struck with this feeling that I started jotting down ...

Infinite Care & Unbounded Attention
This piece of writing was originally published on Cent back on Dec. 18, 2018 under the title “New Governments & New Communities.” I’m re-publishing it here because the promise of proper crypto social products is again palpable, and I believe the tenets of infinite care & unbounded attention are as pertinent as ever for founders of crypto social products in particular to embody and exhibit.To form a new government requires infinite care and unbounded attention, for if the foundation is badly l...

All The New Golden Ages
The following piece of writing was originally published Nov. 4 2020 over on my old Cent page reflecting on my then half decade being a part of crypto (3 years as a builder and 2 years digging down into the rabbit hole). Honestly though, this piece feels more relevant now than ever, so I’m re-sharing it and putting it onchain."I saw a vision of us move in the dark; all that we did or dreamed of..." That quote is from The Tower Beyond Tragedy by Robinson Jeffers. What a trip. I've been ref...
