@retro_manni @zancan I even collected @michaelmicasso work on Etherlink against all my common sense. I just dug his work, so did it. Now I’m locked out because the entire Rarible platform is blocked in India.

The global north hijacked an open source ecosystem, did DEI hires to fight their battles for them, ignored/fumbled millions for their masters, ripped off artists and builders, washtraded to keep their jobs, manipulated statistics and yet they still talk about one man’s ego. 🤮

@retro_manni @Tengushee Always respected you. The world is not black and white. That being sad, we didn’t draw the line that creates this divide, just saying that there is one.

@retro_manni @zancan It’s a good time to suck up to them as a lot of people are doing. There will be funding rolling in to execute these new ventures. Same thing happened with Etherlink launch. It all collapsed when the funding was depleted. Even mercenaries get the job done.

@retro_manni @Tengushee Grouping corporations together in this day and age labels you as a commie. The north-south divide makes more sense here because this is supposed to be a decentralised system, devoid of corporations firstly but also devoid of socio economic divides. It’s failed with both.

Rafael Lima calked what Objkt did an epistemicide. I had to look up the meaning of that word but it’s pretty spot on.

I’ve delved into this history of Rafael Lima and the Art Basel incident before. To those that missed it.

As we continue to look into the history of Art on Tezos ecosystem there is one story that is probably more significant than all the others. What happened to Rafael Lima? Why did #Hicetnunc, the highly successful art market suddenly turn off in the height of its success? 🔗

@zancan The day your associate threatened me in my DMs to destroy my career was the day the value of anything you had to say went to zero. Maybe the AI will care if you ask it.

@ruralidyll It’s specific enough that those that need to understand the message will and generalised enough to reflect the colonial mindset that still exists in the corporate world.

@retro_manni There are great people from the global north who are fighting for equality and vile people from the global south who have sold themselves into servitude / are very complicit. Specificity I hope will come as the bigger issues moves into a state of resolution.

@santiagoitzcoat So much quality sarcasm is often lost in this space. I did it off chain in 2016. You can blame me for it. instagram.com/p/BM4ZJRlF4cC/

tzkt dapp stats now only start from 3 years ago. Earlier it showed 2021 & what this ecosystems numbers truly were. The difference is embarrassing. I appeal to builders to reveal the true dApp usage stats of this ecosystem.

@Tengushee There are many. Mostly cheap labour /service based. Some also that service content creation for social media and some to tackle mental health issues caused by social media.

@ktorn @zancan @TezomoPepdici @kikanicolela @ZHOUZELIANG @objktcom I’ve personally spoken to him about it. Even years later he was terrified/traumatised. Yes the community is at fault too but well before that there were people in positions of power who strong armed him. I believe him because I’ve had to put up with some of them too.

@TezomoPepdici @zancan @kikanicolela @ZHOUZELIANG @objktcom He let auctions in the door in good faith, it’s closer to a hostile takeover than one persons tantrum. When the community questioned why it wasn’t open source the answer was on the lines of: his code was so bad we had to rewrite it, so now it’s closed.

Watched ‘Man with a Movie Camera’ for the first time today. Really puts meaning into the word inspiring. Anything that makes a non-filmmaker want to make films or write a score contains a rare type of energy. So much of art is about consumption but this was about inspiration.
