It's knowing how the market really treats them and doing it anyway to provoke because frogs look dank (argh lil' cute shits in the witness data of bitcoin transactions!)

Lately, nearly all of my tweets end up in drafts or deleted before sent. Nothing in particular interests or excites me about crypto at the moment
Perhaps this is capitulation: apathy edition. Many have surrendered to the idea that crypto is nothing more than a vaporware casino. And maybe they are right
Before I made any money or had any followers here, I used to talk about NFTs irl. I was excited about what they could become. I actually believed they would start a digital art movement that people would talk about even hundreds of years from now. I wanted to be a part of that
Instead, we got a million cryptopunk derivatives. Financialization turned everything into shitcoins with pictures. I get it - everyone loves to make money. But this “art” is not something people will care about in 10 years, much less 200. People barely even care about them now.
I used to believe innovative projects could get us going down a more sustainable path. Along with some others, I’d hoped to show people something else NFTs could do outside of pure speculation. Now I don’t know. It’s hard to share something if you have lost faith in it yourself
Just wanted to share some insight to where I’ve been for the few people who still care. Cheers
