both scenes are among the most interesting in NFTs atm, obviously in diff ways for diff reasons but still one of my checks for any chain: how is its avant/conceptual art scene? art's good, if interesting art is blooming somewhere, respect the pump

Bukele forced out independent judges, packed the courts with loyalists, then declared a state of emergency that allowed him to arrest and indefinitely detain people without any due process. When we say these guys are advocating for fascist ideas, it’s because they literally are.

The thing I enjoy most about the Strategy tokens ($pnkstr et al) is that the model is the result of 10+ experiments from @Rhynotic, an indie builder, built in an open, honest, permissionless way.

What he’s missing is the protocol can buy its own NFTs. So the floor is perpetually raised by 20% with enough volume. It’s also a bearish take on punks to think everyone will list below the sell wall it creates. If that’s the case then let the protocol eat the paper hands. Let
A few people have asked me what role I think NFT strategy tokens will have in the long-term I put it into the "everyone is wrong about everything" category, and my guess is that in the near future people will hate pnkstr so much that I'll be one of the most bullish people on it

Federal authorities should be on notice that arresting and imprisoning anyone simply for burning their own flag in protest is a violation of the First Amendment. The person doing the unlawful burning here is the president, who is burning the Constitution with his directives.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. This is

Base is doing things the right way: an L2 on top of Ethereum, that uses its centralized features to provide stronger UX features, while still being tied into Ethereum's decentralized base layer for security. Base does not have custody over your funds, they cannot steal funds or

15 years ago there was an emergent promethean left imploring people to build imaginative new social configurations in a post automation near future Dismissed as fantasists (or worse) in favor of prostrate and incoherent performative grievance Now we are on the precipice of

There's been a lot of buzz about people wanting to fork PunkStrategy for various NFT projects. We think we can do it better, while also accruing value to back to the $PNKSTR token. The NFTStrategy™ platform will be released in the coming days.
