NFTs are fun
we knew this was inevitable but like blackrock / fintechification of crypto is truly horribly uninteresting. yes stablecoin good for US dollar, etc etc. but like ughhhfff
we're moving from neoliberalism to something else... not sure what to call it yet (im calling it hypercapitalism here) but think this is about what is to come. partially driven by economics, new tech (ai/crypto), population demographics, culture, politics and more). want to write more on this but the general thought below:
another example of crypto being downstream from everything
the middle box is the majority of what is happening in crypto now (the deployment phase per carlota perez).
it's why everyone is bored and disillusioned, you have to look outside the box (the edges) for where the interesting people are now

crypto is officially boring now
crypto is officially going mainstream
crazy taht some of the biggest skeptics around crypto are coming out of the woodwork for stablecoins rn
the one thing that most interesting people who were early to crypto are interested in today: desci
can see robinhood out seating coinbase (don't want this to happen, just an observation... they seem to be really moving)
feels like an actual decent use case for tokens
crypto ppl are a lot of things, but the one thing you have consistently is a genuine curiosity for the new. that's why you're seeing many of them expand so much into art, ai, robotics, longevity. it's not bc they are "pivoting" it's just more that they are frontier. also there are the grifters ofc, but excluding those lololol
surrealism / digi art + nfts are both born from new tech shifts: surrealists hacked cheap printing, photography and early film. digital artists lean into code, ai and protocols.
each movement thrived in new social rooms. paris cafés, little magazines and midnight salons then; discord servers, twitter and mint pages now. the market followed the enery, not institutions. surrealists sold zines and found objects outside academy salons; nfts bypass galleries, creating native economies for code based art. both spread ideas through manifestos. breton’s typed screeds circulated like memes; digital artists are v online and do the same here.
lesson across a century: when art plugs into fresh tech and invites collective play, it stops being a static object and becomes a living protocol.
