and it seems reasonable that they end up on NextGen as opposed to some random contract
in any case, I will feel much more comfortable once they are on-chain and not subject to Elon's whims
given they are priced out of "Life is short"
and a smaller but non-zero number of people would still want to own "on taxis"
or "freedom to transact"
a lot of people would want to own "life is short"
i think it will work as a collection
and that seems like a really dumb way to waste $xxx,xxx
because right now we can do it for x,xxx dollars I think and with 100 gwei gas it is $xxx,xxx I think
but it has been a mild stressor on my mind for the last year +
it is not the most important thing we need to do
so I think what might make sense is something like this:
- once we know we are done with twitter first (blockchain running live and new posts are by default decentralized)
- then combination
- NextGen collection
- Book (physical)
- Book PDF (free)
- And we wrap up the centralized era of the tweet storms neatly and smoothly, get them into the permanent record of Ethereum and be done
- Of course then I get stressed because it is a lot of data and at 100 gwei gas it is unaffordable but at 0.5 gwei gas it is free ninety nine
- So I dunno maybe it is a good idea to mint them now and keep the collection open to add the additional ones
not "oh, also here are 20 more"
because I want to know I have a natural ending point
i have harassed @[MintFace] twice to make them into book form (we have them that way) but never proceeded
new ones are natively decentralized to begin with
and then from then on after that is done
2021-2025 or something
so the collection can be "The Tweetstorms"
like something something something something "when the first place the new threads go is on our decentralized chain"
my difficulty in this is figuring out when to make the cutoff
i think that is more sensible than each tweet as a token bc it is going to get out of hand that way
maybe each thread as a token, some type of visual display of them and the actual text written on chain
obviously "twitter" is not the place for them to permanently be
it would be a good opportunity to make them permanent
gas is super cheap right now
yes, I think maybe as a nextgen so they can be composable?
Threads are gold, they belong on chain
the really funny part is someone in a year after it is all live goes back and reads all of the 140+ threads, it is all there conceptually ex the implementation details
it’s fun now because I can see clearly where you were articulating parts of the vision even back then
I think
but it is OK
leaves a slightly bigger gap in June than ideal
this is more or less the standard algo for Spring SZN
@[6529er] @[simo] @[prxt0] take a look

Proposed Calendar for SZN11
people who buy less crypto but can hodl it for a long time without getting rekt, do better than people who buy more and risk getting wiped or being forced sellers
anyway is this is the right strategy in general in crypto
exactly!

1 used Chevy Volt is not fungible with another used Chevy Volt
1 amazon share is effectively like 1 amazon share
The division into fungible and non-fungible is quite quasi, it depends on the point of view. Shares are not interchangeable, when I look at them in general 1 MSFT share is not like one AMZN share, but when I look directly at MSFT shares, they are fungible. It's all about hiearchy, which is why I really like the idea that NFTs are a superset of fungible tokens from a certain perspective. Of course it doesn't apply 100%, you can't replace BTC mechanics for example, but it's a very interesting perspective.
like if you think about all the mental structures / constructs in the world, a few (money, stocks, etc) are fungible and everything else is non-fungible
something like that
very broadly that the way we organize the world with non-fungible concepts?
What were your insights here that made you realize? Maybe you already kinda answered with how fungible tokens are susceptible to centralization
this is awesome

more or less
bc anyone's BTC is as good as anyone's elses BTC
and the fungible coins are all suspectible to this
but I dunno it is not great for decentralization
i accept that too
