On OpenSea delisting @NeoTokyoCode… just a few quick comments since I’ve seen a lot of post

A) Regardless of the outcome with OS there are other sites with or about to get lots of volume in NFTs that want us as partners. All will be good and we also have our Altura store live on site to trade S1s.

B) We have had some of the biggest founders in the space join the last few days and will be revealing them + upcoming seeds/some big stuff next week. We are not slowing down at all lol.

C) hopefully it’s a mistake, however it’s incredibly weird for OS to do this without warning after we’re literally one of the few high volume projects to go open sea exclusive.

We are also by far the leading respected project in terms of crypto gaming communities and one of their largest volume sellers. Not to mention I send the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of visits from my vids.

Having NEO Tokyo as an OpenSea exclusive is such a slam dunk win for them…so again we are a little befuddled

Like most on here, I agree it’s extremely poor treatment after we literally moved to be OS exclusive n sent them the majority of our volume.

That said we are working with them and hope to have a resolution this week.

If we cannot get one, I am confident we will be welcome elsewhere haha.

Fear not. The train is not stopping.

Lets fin go gents.

[Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 @ZssBecker]

Having to stack these as so many founders are joining.

@PLAYA3ULL_GAMES , @TheSinVerse , @TheRedVillage have ALL joined @NeoTokyoCode .

Beeple Studios set a high bar. It feels like something concrete (literally) that moves art forward.

Bravo and congratulations @beeple 🙏

[RD @RogerDickerman]

I don’t have the shots to do @gmunk justice, but this is a placeholder for his brilliance.

[Ignas | DeFi @DefiIgnas]

1/ Are you holding USDC in panic mode right now?

Yes, USDC is in trouble, but it's not going to zero like UST.

Circle has already clarified how much cash they have stuck, and the situation might be better than what the market is pricing right now.

100 Things You Realize When You Zoom Out:

1. It was always about the art

2. And gaming and access

3. Not the NFT

4. It’s a new canvas. A vertical. Incredibly meaningful. Not the whole picture.

5. Digital asset ownership is the thing

6. Royalties are secondary (puns!)

7. It’ll take a while

8. They’ll get figured out in niche marketplaces

9. Not as a flat, catch all 10%

10. Hardware is the unlock

11. In two ways

12. One way is physical hardware

13. When there is cheap, flexible, great looking frame hardware, things change

14. That’s when digital art eats the art market

15. The second way is digital viewing

16. Which is tied to hardware in some ways (VR)

17. When you crave spending time in metaverses, it will have done its job

18. You don’t crave that now. You crave the social element.

19. Artists are the platform

20. They dictate the future of art

21. Counterintuitively we need “platforms” too

22. But only because artists are busy being geniuses

23. The platform that gets out of its own way is guaranteed success

24. Lift up the artist

25. Feature said artist

26. Stay in touch with capital

27. Say no sometimes

28. Digital art is art

29. This really is a renaissance

30. @beeple is the figurehead. He earned it. Every day. Physically. Digitally. Traditionally. Irreverently.

31. @fewocious is the prodigy

32. @rafagrassetti is the sculptor

33. @lphaCentauriKid is the performer

34. @SamSpratt is the genius

35. @refikanadol is the trailblazer

36. @money_alotta is the heart

37. @XCOPYART is the ethos

38. Figure the rest out based on your tastes

39. Curation is necessary

40. Platforms have abandoned it due to market necessities

41. Curation has a bright future

42. 3D is massive

43. More than you realize

44. Even if you think you realize it

45. The future is multi-chain

46. The future is aggregating that

47. And ascribing meaning to each chain expression

48. The meaning matters

49. Artist provenance matters more

50. Blockchain expression is in its infancy

51. Dynamic art is jaw dropping

52. PFPs took our eyes off the ball

53. PFPs matter

54. But as brand beginnings

55. They’ll morph or die

56. Into access and utility (not the cliches, the real expressions)

57. Except CryptoPunks because yeah

58. And they’re an art hybrid anyway

59. Back to dynamic art

60. Imagine Beeple’s HUMAN ONE mass distributed

61. Read #60 again and think about it

62. It’s wild

63. Days matter less

64. Months matter more

65. Instagram, Amazon, and the large brands matter

66. But mainly for lower cost mass distribution

67. Which is important

68. Higher cost distribution to the few is up to the artist

69. And the auction house

70. Which means it’s not solved

71. Because auction houses and collectors and curators are all in the mix

72. But in the end it’s up to the artist

73. Twitter + Discord = NFT is an equation on borrowed time

74. First comes a reversion to old school lists

75. Then comes the network of the future

76. IRL matters

77. Change the viewing experience

78. It’s the gateway to the museums

79. Again… @beeple leads

80. The battle between Blur and OS is irrelevant

81. Look past the wash trading

82. One mass aggregator makes it out

83. Fast forward 10 years and the odds are slim it’s one of today’s

84. Bridging the gap between today and the longterm begins with agility

85. Art becomes art

86. PFPs become access and utility

87. Metaverses morph towards engagement

88. That means performances, games, education, and anything sticky

89. Bull markets and bear markets eventually are a zoomed out trend line

90. So stay focused

91. Survive

92. Those who do have a high probability of mattering

93. Make friends

94. Not solely based on money

95. Do amazing things together

96. Explore CC0 and commercial rights

97. Ask both what you can do for your NFT

98. And what it can do for you

99. Onward and upward

100. Stay wild, be brave, and explore
