At long last... Story #1: Manila & Thailand 2018 It would be a fool's errand to tell this using Twitter threads. It's a complex, nuanced story that deserves its own book, as many ConsenSys alumni can attest. But let's give it a shot... 🧵
I find myself at a crossroads, my art—photography—no longer an extension of my being but a distant satellite to my soul. So, I stand resolved to bridge this expanse. Allow me to unravel the spool…🧵

Artists moving away from Instagram to Twitter is so huge because here they can actually talk about their art and interact with others. IG has always felt so transactional and sterile.

There’s this weird obsession with new NFT collectibles becoming the next Crypto Punks or Bored Apes. When the real obsession should be in finding up & coming 1/1 artist and investing in their long term success.

Honestly this is the most hype introduction I’ve ever received ❤️‍🔥 I couldn’t be more thrilled for what we’re going to build together at @nftnow. Thank you to everybody and every experience I’ve had that has helped led me here. The journey continues! And with that, LFGGGG!!!!
Breaking news: I am energized to share that @beercandid is joining @nftnow as a Producer on our now Studios team. Nathan is a crypto-native storyteller with extensive experience in the fields of music, film/tv, food, and photography. He has deep roots in Blockchain. He has worked with the likes of Consensys to help bring ethereum to market and most recently, he was at SuperRare telling the stories of Artists changing their lives with NFTs. At nft now he is going to surface the stories that need to be told and help us build the future of tokenized media one story at a time. Having Nathan on our team is going to supercharge our storytelling abilities and the way we empower our community.

Ellen DeGeneres selling an NFT of a shitty cat drawing most aptly illustrates my feelings about celebrity NFTs. Why do they always do the bare minimum, and why does everybody act like what they offer is God's gift to the world? We should hold them to a standard all the same.
