Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me.
🚨 Your instinct is to dunk on Ryan Carson today, and that's why you'll never be rich. 🚨
NFT degens LOVE to frame Ryan Carson as a WEB2 VC grifter...
🏆 But in reality - he was one of the few true champions of the NFT space.
He raised MILLIONS of dollars for an NFT fund, entirely from individuals that were OUTSIDE of the space.
I mean, just the idea of starting an NFT fund is comical!
It would've been a better idea to run those millions through a paper shredder so at least you'd have themed confetti for a party or social event.
Knowing that like 8 people have ever made money trading NFTs, you should also be reminded that he:
🦉 Swept 27 Moonbirds for 607 ETH total. Didn't sell any of them till today.
🎨 Minted Art Gobblers, could’ve sold them for 20 ETH. Sold for 0.1 WETH today
🟠 Bought 15 Bitcoin Punks for 183 ETH (wow)
In other words, while you all were trying to dunk on him because of his good looks and charisma...
YOU COULD'VE BEEN SELLING YOUR NFTs TO HIM AND ACTUALLY MAKING MONEY FOR ONCE 🤯
I know I know - this is an impossible-to-comprehend idea for many of you.
But at one point there was a person buying NFTs.
And you could've sold NFTs to that person.
But instead you chose to write mean tweets about him and giggle about them with your friends.
And that's why you'll never be rich.
Carson is an icon.
Planning to move to Tokyo to put on a bunch of shows and book European fine artists to come show their first gradients in Japan
Spent this past week getting more tapped in with the local scene and I'm so incredibly stoked for the opportunities here and the chance to tap into to such an amazing hub for 1 ETH SVG sales.
Unveiling the OpenSea Flagship Collection.
A $1M+ cultural reserve committed to acquiring, curating, and celebrating digital art and culture.
Our first piece? CryptoPunk 5273.
More about the OpenSea Punk below. 👇
I'm surprised to see Folia willingly giving up their curatorial brand, one of the few remaining prestige brands in the space. Curatorial taste and brand trust were their main differentiators. Minting is a commodity now.
Want to make the absolute highest quality vinyl toys for EFANs.
Koons-quality. Have a design am already falling in love with.
Will be to European Fine Art NFTs what Baby Milo is to BAPE.
Who should we be working with on making them a reality?
EFANs are here to stay. I'd been worried they might be a fad, but I talked to the founder of an NFT company who's in a position to see how well EFANs are doing, and he said a lot of them are making people money.
