8 years ago I made a youtube video about how to read Korean, even though I know no Koraen. Somehow the video has nearly 15,000,000 views. Recently, people have come to my Twitter to ask about it.

Here's a thread about it:

New creator business model I've been thinking about: refundable NFTs. A product is being built by @blastr_xyz

Creator revenue comes from @Blast_L2's native yield

1) Collectors pay ETH to mint NFTs
2) Creators vault the ETH and earn 4% yield on it
3) Collectors can redeem NFT for mint price if it doesn't work out

An example:

1) Creator issues 1000 NFTs for 1 ETH each
2) Collectors get the NFTs, have upside, and can get their 1 ETH back any time
3) Creator earns ongoing 40 ETH per year in interest

Not bad. I might mint something. Will feel better knowing my collectors can't lose ETH.

The art @rainisto curated for the upcoming @fellowshiptrust mint is 🔥🔥🔥

It exhibits the unique creative possibilities of AI art.

Work which is relatable but surreal. Each artist has a unique, consistent look.

Check out these artists (1/8🧵👇)

@ghod So proud of you

Congrats to @j1mmyeth on selling this for 800 ETH. Helluva grail.

Only in NFTs would:

1) Someone build a derivative/imitation of checks and raise $900,000 in 20 hrs

2) The original checks artist change the art to be identical to the derivative

3) People keep buying both, sending OG check floor to 1.55 ETH and minting 10,000+ derivs per hour

Crazy stat: @jackbutcher's "Checks" image was minted for $8 more than 10x as many times as it was "liked" on Twitter and Instagram, combined.

We talk about the ways NFTs draw people in, and many other topics, on this podcast. Have a listen:

@jessepollak Isn’t this something many users deliberately avoid to maintain anonymity?

But yes from a data perspective a good way to link wallets would be very helpful

Loved doing this podcast w @clairesilver --- she is so insightful about the AI art movement.

She's also just an OG NFT collector and participant in the ecosystem.

Learned so much from the chance to connect with her. Have a listen:

The irony of devoting your short CEO tenure to eliminating bots and then making a decision based on a poll which almost certainly was determined by bots.
