1 year ago today:
- @BoredApeYC was trying to prove itself. Mutant serums had just dropped.
- @jenkinsthevalet was just getting started. @azurbala was far from reality.
- You probably had never heard of @wearehume @warpsound_ai or @iamchillpill
Imagine 1 year from now 🚀

In January, 'before you' was voted on as @angelbaby next release and became a web3 hit.
Last Friday, @PRETTYMUCH hopped on the song and became one of the first bands ever to collaborate with a virtual artist.
Tomorrow it will hit 50,000 streams in just 4 days 📈

1 year ago everyone told us virtual artists were dumb.
now @angelbaby is listed alongside @SnoopDogg @stevaoki and a groundbreaking project from @headless_chaos. And this is only based on one music NFT.

The top 10 music NFTs in June generated over 1,000 ETH in total trade volume, including @headless_chaos @_deafbeef @Royceda59 @omgkirbyDAO @warpsound_ai @SnoopDogg @BT @steveaoki #Cartoon @angelbaby

Music NFTs aren’t dumb.
They also aren’t worth as much as a Fidenza and probably won’t be.
Music NFTs are about fandom, supporting creators, and new forms of fan interaction.

It didn't feel web2 or "web3." It felt friendly, well branded, familiar and most importantly easy 2 use.

They said we couldn't grow virtual artists
Now -> ~1M monthly listeners
They said we can't shape culture
Now -> 3 of the biggest Spotify playlists
They said we couldn't build a platform
Now -> 20K users
They're saying we can't blow up this category
That's a bad bet.

It may feel like a “bear market” but Music NFTs are starting to be cherished in the same way CDs or vinyl is.
New ideas make a lot of noise in the beginning but when they’re really working people don’t appreciate it.
The paradigm shift is happening. Cherish the moment.

“Selling” to a record label usually involves the following:
1. You’re really getting a fully recoupable loan.
2. In exchange you usually lose all equity in the underlying asset - the songs.
3. You also lose the ability to manage the release of your own music/assets.

You’re not ready for the next couple months of @wearehume activity.
This is the just the start.
@wearehume airdropped me this @angelbaby scene earlier this year (currently 0.9ETH) and it has now earned me a @ATEMCarClub membership drop (~0.22ETH mint).
The @flufworld ecosystem just keeps giving and BUIDLing ❤️
I’ll keep track of how these free drops grow over time 👀

.@wearehume is quietly:
- On track to hit millions in rev.
- Grew an onchain app from 0 → 20K users in 4 months.
- Built AI aritsts approaching 1M monthly Spotify listeners.
Real revenue, real adoption, real culture.
Crypto consumer apps deserve a long term perspective.
The job of a venture capitalist is to generate outsized returns by taking leveraged risk on innovation and underwrite 0 to 1 market creation and growth opportunities.
Instead we just got a series of pump and dumps.

Early thoughts on the new @zora release.
- @funghibull said it best. this is culture.fun.
- This is pump.fun for people who care about owning something "cool."
- Turning the 1155 into a hyperfungible ERC 20 is brilliant. It's a simple implementation of the 404 idea but lends itself to onchain virality and mass posting.
- Not sure how sustainable this is but maybe that doesn't matter...
- Maybe this is the beginning of what onchain media really looks like. There's always gonna be a longtail.
- Love seeing experiments in the space. Hats off to @js_horne and the @zora team.
