NFT’s A New Way To Monetize Your Speaking Material

Life’s a Trip: My Journey As a Web3 Artist Thus Far With the introduction of COVID-19 the shows I was scheduled to play began to get canceled one by one, and I slowly watched everything I’d built in the last half decade deteriorate before my eyes. ........ My newly found free time led me to freelance songwriting and my interest in cryptocurrency. I poured all of my energy into researching everything I could about the space. ........ After 1000’s of hours of reading white papers, watching youtube content, and exploring discord servers, my interests started trending towards NFTs. ....... I’d heard of NFTs beforehand, but after the February / March wave of 2021 I was completely sold on the fact that many things can, and probably will be tokenized in the future. ....... As a musician, my only question was where in the world is the music? ........ Before I released a single piece of music on-chain I spent 5 months

chatting with strangers on twitter

who I had grown to be big fans of. ........... and I started participating in many conversations via twitter spaces. ........ Public speaking has never been my forte, but talking about the things I am truly passionate about has really helped me develop that skill in the last year. ........ The music sold out in under 30 seconds


The Countdown Memorandum Doubling down on the future of American industry ........ in the fourteen years since California launched its high-speed rail initiative to connect San Francisco and Los Angeles, less than 120 miles have even begun construction ........ In roughly the same amount of time, China has constructed close to 25,000 miles of high-speed rail, spanning quite literally its entire country. ....... China appears to be rapidly developing its hypersonic arsenal and is the largest outbound investor in alternative energy technologies. ........ The past century of prosperity cannot be extrapolated to the next one, and it is certainly not a given. Despite a repressive and authoritarian political system, the Chinese citizenry has experienced more than three times more economic growth over the past three decades than any other citizenry in the world and have proven to be quite capable of the type of dramatic change conducive to technological progress. ........ America is still the most innovative country in the world, with technological progress highly valued by both the private and public sector. By many metrics and surveys, America is also still by far the most desirable country for immigrants. .......
