Donald Trump's recent dinner with the major investors of his meme coin once again highlighted the potential for astronomical gains that certain crypto projects can generate, especially those driven by a strong community and significant media hype.
1️⃣ The Trump Effect and the Explosive Gains of Meme Coins:
🎉🎉 Those who invested early in TRUMP experienced gains that seemed unimaginable for many 🎉🎉. 🌋
Before being listed, this meme was trading at values close to $5 and managed to exceed $70 in its first days of operation on Binance. Then it fell. That typical chart of an initial mountain with a rapid drop is very common in all new cryptocurrencies after entering well-known exchanges like Binance. As can be seen in the following image:

In this digital age, we generate enormous amounts of data with every online and offline interaction. From our browsing and shopping habits to our location, the data captured by the sensors of our mobile phones📱, transport vehicles 🚗, public satellites providing global climate information, and even the data shared by our smart home devices 📺, a vast ocean of data flows constantly. However, the underlying architecture of most platforms and web services has led to a concerning centralization of this information. Who really benefits from this digital treasure we collectively create? And how do some projects offer a decentralized and fairer alternative?

Ada Crow 是一位跨界艺术家，她的作品连接着古典与当代、模拟与算法，Ada 居住在西班牙阿斯图里亚斯，她将深厚的艺术史知识融入到每一件作品中，汲取超现实主义、达达主义和弗兰德巴洛克风格的影响，创作出视觉冲击力强、概念丰富的作品。
她的创作历程跨越了十多年的传统媒介，例如专业摄影、油画和圆珠笔绘画，以及最近的数字和人工智能艺术。
自 2021 年进入 NFT 领域以来，Ada 的作品已在全球多个舞台上展出，包括参与 HUG “2024 年值得关注的 100 位摄影师”专题，以及在 Beeple Studios 和 NFTNYC 等场所举办的展览。
她的艺术作品探讨存在主义问题，为人们提供了一种冥想的出口，让人们得以深入探索人类情感、记忆和身份认同的复杂性。

Ada 的职业生涯不断跨越形式和地域，但她并不认为人工智能是一种威胁，而是拓展其艺术语言的工具，在本次对话中，我们将深入探讨她的灵感来源、创作过程，以及在科技与永恒的交汇处进行艺术创作的意义。
她的新作品 “Crow Cinematic” 将于 2025 年 4 月 17 日在 OpenSea 上首次亮相。
OpenSea：“Crow Cinematic” 这个标题非常引人入胜，您能解释一下它背后的含义吗？
Ada Crow：我一直对捕捉瞬间故事的想法很着迷，Crow Cinematic 就运用了这个概念 - 不是完整的电影，而是带有电影节奏和美感的短暂片段。
OpenSea：具体来说，是什么启发了 Crow Cinematic 的创作？它与你之前的作品有何不同？能跟我们讲讲你的创作过程吗？
Ada Crow：这个系列源于我对影视的热爱，以及我对经典故事从不同角度重新诠释的好奇，我经常从自己的视觉文化中汲取灵感进行创作，而这个系列则标志着我艺术进化的又一步。
至于流程，它是人工智能生成视觉基础和数字编辑进行完善的结合，其中还需要在 Photoshop 中进行大量细致的工作。

OpenSea：这些藏品是否有叙事线索？藏家应该将这些作品视为独立的时刻，还是一个更大、更精彩的故事中的一个场景？ 
Ada Crow：两者兼而有之，每个片段都独立存在，但也可以被视为一种视觉文化的一部分，在这种文化中，一切都相互关联，怀旧与重新诠释或许是将它们联系在一起的共同线索。
OpenSea：您想象人们会如何参与该收藏？
Ada Crow：这取决于观众，有些人可能会感到怀旧，有些人可能会觉得好笑，还有些人会从新的角度看待熟悉的事物，即使不了解这些作品的来源，也能将其视为视觉艺术来欣赏，最终目标是让每一件作品都能触动观众的情感。
OpenSea：区块链技术是否影响了您对这个系列艺术的处理方式？
Ada Crow：它不仅影响了创作本身，也影响了我对艺术的永恒性和传播方式的思考，我喜欢这种想法：这些作品可以旅行而不失其起源，而收藏家也成为了这段旅程的一部分，这就像一部永不停歇的电影。

OpenSea：您如何看待实用性和互动性？您对动态 NFT、代币门控体验之类的东西感兴趣吗？还是艺术本身就是完整的表达？
Ada Crow：我喜欢互动性，因为它能为作品增添一些有意义的元素，但在这种情况下，艺术才是核心，这些作品旨在以纯粹的形式呈现，无需任何额外的元素，即便如此，我也不会放弃未来探索其他可能性的大门。
OpenSea：成为 NFT 社区的一部分对您的工作有何影响，是通过合作、反馈循环，还是仅仅沉浸在文化中？
Ada Crow：这简直是一场革命，我从一个数字艺术还只是小众领域的世界，来到了一个拥有众多渴望探索、讨论和收藏的全球社群的世界，这样的环境激励着你不断进步，无所畏惧地去尝试。
OpenSea：你希望 “Crow Cinematic” 如何展现你作为 Web3 艺术家的演变历程？收藏家们对你接下来构建的世界应该抱有怎样的期待？
Ada Crow：我希望它能体现我对视觉叙事和重新诠释的执着，我想让收藏家们知道，这不是最终章，而是我持续旅程的一部分，我会继续探索讲述故事的新方式……即使只是几秒钟。

After more than two years of tension facing the top financial regulator in the United States, the famous game and NFT project on Ethereum – CyberKongz has officially announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its investigation without taking any enforcement action. This is a significant turning point, not only for CyberKongz but also has positive implications for the entire Web3 Gaming industry.

Removing the 'legal shadow': CyberKongz officially cleared.

Prominent NFT trading platform #opensea is looking to reinvent itself as trading volumes of non-replaceable tokens have dropped to their lowest level in more than three years.

On Monday, OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer posted a post to X talking about the new platform. “We've been slowly working on OpenSea,” he said. - To truly innovate, sometimes you have to take a step back and rethink everything. That's why we built the new OpenSea from the ground up.”

OpenSea also announced the new platform on its X account, saying it will launch in December. The marketplace also has a link to sign up for the waitlist. The announcement of the new platform follows almost exactly a year after OpenSea laid off half of its staff before Finzer said the company had begun work on “OpenSea 2.0.”

After being the dominant marketplace for NFTs for years, including during bull markets when tokens from popular collections like Bored Apes Yacht Club sometimes sold for millions of dollars, OpenSea was supplanted by newcomer Blur at the end of 2022. As the two sites fought for market dominance, overall trading volumes declined. OpenSea has recently managed to regain some of its market share, but according to The Block Data Dashboard, total trading volumes are at their lowest level in more than three years.

One trend that Blur's success over OpenSea seems to have demonstrated is that #NFT​ traders are increasingly interested in using platforms that offer more than just basic buying and selling functionality. Blur's success also suggests that traders want more sophisticated trading tools, while the platform attracts new users with rewards in the form of tokens.

OpenSea's redesign comes at a time when there appears to be little hope for NFT's growth. In January of this year, monthly NFT trading volume based on Ethereum's non-interchangeable tokens reached $868 million, before dropping to $300 million in June and $136 million last month, according to The Block Data Dashboard.
