Oceans of Wisdom

I do not imagine a non-adversarial environment. all the complexity in finding the right end state

far from it. my theory is that if I get the setup right, it will inevitably work out perfectly :)

@[prxt0] i think you might be working on it, but when you get a notification on mobile and click on it, it does not take you to that post but just generally to the home page which is less helpful

and with Saylor in the driver's seat that is not going to change

namely that BTC culture does not spend on anything other than BTC

yeah re ordinals. there is also a culture problem over there.

it was kindof amusing when I realized it was happening

i had not thought about that dynamic in advance

funny how that is sometimes

so some less popular cards are incredibly locked up

because those were only minted by the most committed

in some ways ironically for the less popular cards

if we get real demand in the future, many szns are incredibly tight

"1 to keep, 1 to flip"

goes to research like now which will be used for network activities

naka threshold stays!

thank god

but it clearly exists

it is interesting because it is not totally clear why this evolved evolutionarily

there is some deeply human need / satisfaction oriented around it

there are sets in art, in stamps, in coins, in sports cards, etc

i think it is a nice feeling

in exchange for letting a larger set of people enjoy having a full szn set

early in the project

you give up the wow value of getting a 200 ETH sale of a meme card

it was the major thing I changed from Rare Pepes

it is one of the reasons for the nakamoto threshold being 300 and not 10 or 5 or 1

and are a real thing

the memes have sets because I like sets and I think sets are fun

and also with my SZN1 Rare Pepe set that I do not have because it is impossible because there is a 1/1 in there

this is like me with my ABC set

Or do you mean lending the memes themselves

Price oracles

Yup. This is why I believe him when he says he feels great

I don't particularly care as a collector, but as an artist I wouldn't recommend because a lot of collectors do care and get annoyed. In particular, if the artist does not mention it upfront. If they say upfront they are going to do it, then nobody can complain. Also if they make it CC0, even better and nobody can complain. The big issue here is not good or bad, but expectations management. The general expectation of 1/1 NFT collectors is that this won't happen so some get upset So tl;dr I think the meta advice is "be transparent about your plans and then all options are fine"

but i have made some small lifestyle changes (small, I do not want to overstate my healthy lifestyle) that are let's say "inspired" by him

tl;dr -> I suspect he is more right than wrong even though I do not do most of the stuff that he does

have we ever had any discussion whatsoever on if they are happy or not in their personal life

of the 200+ meme artists

or let's make it more specific

even if some of them are

nobody is going around worried that "people who eat too much packaged food are unhappy"

e.g. drink too much

many people who do things that normal people do are unhappy!

many people are unhappy!

I mean he seems happy enough, he says he is happy but even if he is unhappy, what possible difference does it make

and so then they invent theories like "Bryan is unhappy"

in some tiny but probably meaningful way

nobody wants to hear that binge watching netflix at 1am on Friday with a glass of wine is hurting their health

so I think there is a bit of self-protection, cognitive dissonance going on
