This was a sweet unexpected surprise. Makes the sting of not getting the ens drop less so. It’ll be interesting to see how the market responds to OS by going the way of an IPO and not an airdrop. Builders in the space are recognizing the opportunity that this presents and I expect such surprises in 2022. John, have you played with zkswaps yet? A similar possibility of an airdrop by early users is speculated. btw, I highly encourage you to pu a Pak piece. He just dropped Merge and about to do an ASH exclusive. Merge just 3x since primary and is in a pullback now. Folks are thinking either 10 or 100 ASH is what is needed for this next drop. ASH has been on a tear this year with even more catalysts for 2022.
Sorry, have not played with zkswaps, yet. EllioTrades has talked about it a lot and I should give it a try On Pak, I'll keep an eye out, but I'm at my budget limit on NFT exposure unless we get a parabolic bull run in cryptos then I wouldn't mind picking up a BAYC and now a Pak for a long term hodl Thanks for the heads up!
Great article on the “Attention” capture aspect of crypto projects. It speculates on what caused BAYC to flip Punks floor. https://cobie.substack.com/
prolly nothing... https://www.engadget.com/samsung-nft-platform-smart-tvs-020825042.html Samsung is putting NFTs in its smart TVs Your bored ape can now live in your TV. K. Bell @karissabe January 3rd, 2022 Samsung Given that 2021 was a blockbuster year for NFTs, it’s not particularly surprising that major tech companies are incorporating Non-Fungible Tokens into their CES lineup. The latest comes from Samsung, which revealed a new “NFT Aggregation Platform” designed for its smart TVs. The platform, which will be available on Samsung’s MicroLed, Neo QLED and The Frame models, allows users to browse and buy NFTs directly from their sets. The platform pulls in NFTs from several marketplaces, so users can preview the art and see other relevant details, like who created the work, as well as relevant blockchain metadata. Those who already own NFTs can also use the platform to showcase their collection. Samsung notes that its “Smart Calibration” technology can automatically adjust the TV’s settings to match the specifications of the original creator to ensure the image is rendered on the TV as faithfully as possible.
I wonder if those Smart TVs have the latest Norton 360 installed in them. I dunno' johnarb. I am getting older faster than the world is getting younger. I was born 20 years too early, because I love the concepts. But I am stuck in dinosaur mode.
