The only real NFT utility is the blockchain itself The rest is hype The future is not a promise of utility The future is that we own our own data again #ethernalFaces

Your PFP shows how rich you are But it doesn't show who you are The PFP in the Middle Ages were paintings of the kings and not of animals Why is it different today?

The kings in the Middle Ages already had PFP NFTs They were just called differently: paintings When they died, the successor got the painting and sometimes used it as his own PFP But did kings have animal paintings made of them? #NFTCommunity #ethernalFaces

Starting an NFT project is like starting a startup. And that's sad news for all artists - just like the old Internet, you need people to listen to you. And in the best case, people who understand what's so important about the new Internet:

If you also want to do an NFT project: Do not automate community building at all. Because the community is the heart of every Web 3.0 project and that's what I learned way too late:

I did have an exciting concept (after all, I spent many years studying this very thing) – but getting attention for this project was impossible, especially the way I did it:

Until I understood that it's not much about art, but about money. The prices of the NFTs were more important than the thing itself: The new internet.

Last fall was exciting for all of us: gold rush atmosphere all over the crypto world. I had just finished my art degree and wanted to make NFTs myself...
