we should be working with ideas and concepts and people for whole $10K to $20K is material
my mental model is he wants to create action as free marketing
he is superb at engagement
as you noticed he is exceptionally good on twitter
"talking to 100 people without noise" is nowhere in his priorities
he is trying to scale a $1B business
i have no doubt this is true but why would he want to chat to a subset of 200 people when he has a huge audience on twitter
in other words, each card is like a small seed grant
I think at this stage we want the challenger people
based on buying a meme card
why should he limit who he talks to here?
he is worth $800M
he has a big business
he is super busy
it also is not going to work
this is fine but not ambitious enough
everyone gets that
it is understood we can mint art
is not "can we mint art"
the guidling light here
but the north star
I think so
sure
will we launch stream
will we make progress on blockchain sure
will we clean up the website? sure
is "cards that do things"
and I have decided my single top KPI for Q1
so @[boredsurgeon] you are on deck for Q1
except probably needs more zeros
and for better or for worse NFT art people doing NFT art things right now is like for 0.000001% of the world population
all of this is going to read to people as "NFT art people doing NFT art things"
the thing is as fun as it is to have fun with art and editions and 1/1 and generative
now
we have to do the hard thing
this is the real "proof of concept" of "network state"
I think the single most important thing we can do Q1 is demonstrate we can do harder things than picking art
we are a long way from running a chip fab
hurray for us!
we have proven the "previously never done before and impressive - curate a smart contract of NFTs"
the hard topic is how we do more and more complex things in a decentralized manner
and we have to attack the hard topic
I have been thinking about it a lot
whether it is immunology or computational journalism or culture
is "cards that do something"
but I have concluded that by far the single most important
starting asap
and @[DarrenSRS] is going to start working on this in public here
