I've been long enough in NFT space to know technicalities aren't primarily what people like that much to read about. But given the demand and my audience here is it: Deep dive to tech and history behind Talismans

Not your keys, not your coins. Not immutable, not your art token.

I second this take: NFTs can be durable digital toys
I've been quietly frustrated with crypto for a while. Some of it leaks out on the timeline. Most of it happens in group chats with friends, where I keep trying to name a product category I can feel but can't quite articulate. Here's my best shot: NFTs can be durable digital toys. Think about the toys you had as a kid. If it was in your drawer, you could come back 20 years later and, as long as nobody threw it out, it was still there, exactly how you left it. Digital things don't work like that. The company goes out of business or gets acquired, the servers shut off, and your stuff is just gone. And more and more of our lives are digital. So what makes a digital toy durable? It's yours. Provably, verifiably yours. Not "yours until the terms of service change." You should be able to come back years later, read the chain, and pick up right where you left off. The actual data, same as it was before. It's expandable. As a kid, you'd grab two sets of toys and imagine what they could do together. You'd race your cars down a ramp you built out of blocks. They were sold separately, by different companies, but in your room you played exactly how you liked. Onchain toys work the same way. You don't need my permission to build on what I made. If you want to use it in a way I never would, just ask your favorite coding agent to build the thing you always wished existed! No need to wait on me. Rare means rare. When something might carry real value, you need honest bookkeeping. If we release 100 of something and rescind ownership of the contract, we cryptographically cannot make more. Anyone can check. No mystery pack odds. No quietly printing extras. Here's the thing, though. Nobody wants to buy a "verifiable toy." That's not fun. The blockchain can be the source of truth. It's there if you want it even if most people will never look at it. The toy is the point. That's what we're building with Chonks. Your Chonk is yours. It doesn't depend on us at all. Its traits and history live on-chain, so if you come back in ten years, it's right where you left it. It's expandable: anyone can plug their Chonk (or anyone else’s) into a game, a comic, or some weird tool we never imagined, no permission needed. And when we drop a trait collection, the number we say is the number that exists. Forever. We spent years treating this stuff like it was only about pictures and floor prices. I think what comes next is a lot more fun. Durable digital toys: digital toys that are actually yours.

What are most important NFTs going forward? List your top picks Dont search or ask AI. If you cannot name them from the top of your head, they are not important.

Collection wise, my generative video game Cloud Poppers was 5/5 on the checker. My ordinals project Fl1ck3r was also on-chain via BTC

If you are into on-chain historicals: The floor for ASCIIPunks has finally become a bit more liquid: up to 9 listings are available for approx. 0.0056 ETH Learn more about the collection at: 0xchain.art/collection/ascii…

Thank you teto for sponsoring a mint to Hyperion ☀️🌕 Choosing city/seed was surprisingly easy: Christchurch (Ōtautahi) has a special place in my heart. It was also the gateway to expeditions to Antarctica where humanity pushed its boundaries, just like we continue doing with ⛓️

”Develop a thesis, identify the characteristics you believe are historically or technically significant, and collect accordingly.” 👏👏👏👏
"No one gets to decide what it’s important until it’s deemed to be important." This is a bad take. A really bad take. As collectors, we absolutely get to decide what is important, to us. Develop a thesis, identify the characteristics you believe are historically or technically significant, and collect accordingly. What we CANNOT decide is whether the broader market will eventually share our assessment or assign those innovations financial value. Markets can recognize important innovations late, misprice them for decades, or never value them appropriately.

last call: if anyone is still willing to sell a bit $test lmk! The LP seems to be healthy but I could offer fully on-chain NFTs in return if anyone is willing to trade!
There is an old Ethereum token called $test (claimtest.xyz/) Unfortunately it is hard to acquire with a stable price -- it has a Uniswap pool but the pool is limited If anyone wants to sell, I'm open to do OTC trades -- dont hesitate just reach out to me with DM!

Nothing like crisis to justify more control. We can't let fear scare us into a less free internet. The next internet must require less trust and offer more proof. More decentralization. More cryptographic guarantees. More verifiability. More transparency.

artifact #177 5/5 fully on-chain. if ain’t that i don’t want it. context: this is a contract. not a token id. this art is encrypted. you must own the key, to see the art. would you buy art if you couldn’t see the aesthetics? do you really explore on-chain ideas? do you appreciate privacy? do you buy art as a purist, as an investment or for status?

I'm big proponent of hardware wallets so this is painful to admit. I no longer trust @Ledger. Reason is leadership: @_pgauthier attacking @MagicalTux surfaces the kind of red flag over leadship that cannot go unignored. Change in leadership style is necessary.
Replying to @MagicalTux @Ledger
and also, you don't know everything... Ledger goes above and beyond to protect their customers. It's a very very difficult job. We appreciate your help on the matter. But 'd ask you to try to keep with what you know and abstain from speculations.

There are many historical parallels. Enron, Wirecard, how NASA's Challenger and Columbia saw the warnings gone unnoticed. And of course Nokia. A change in leadership style is urgently needed to not fall into similar tracks.

And yes, everything what @MagicalTux points out indicates that with different leadership style, Ledger could have mitigated also this supply chain attack much quicker and much earlier.
