Tim recounts watching Gary Vee talk NFTs on the Full Send podcast, riffs on Web2 vs Web3, community-building around JPEGs like Gutter Cats and Bored Apes, and compares NFT communities favorably to January 6th and Antifa.
- Tim watched Gary Vee on Full Send podcast discuss NFTs and the future of the technology.
- Gary Vee said 98 percent of NFT projects will go to zero, but two percent will be worth something.
- Web 2 feels like it's at the end—people on Facebook sharing family photos and opinions has run its course.
- Trading Apes back and forth makes more sense than listening to your uncle sound off on current affairs.
- It's all about building community, which is why Gutter Cats and similar NFT collections work in the digital space.
- Tim has a Gutter Cat NFT and explains they're cheaper than Apes, which now trade for three or four hundred thousand dollars.
- NFT communities based on hype are better than political communities based on hate—the Hype Beasts are better than January 6.
- If protesters showed each other their Gutter Cats instead of burning down buildings, that would be an improvement.
- If you're going to blow off steam and end up in federal prison, you might as well just get an NFT ape instead.
- Tim is excited about dinner with Gary Vee and wants to come out of it as an NFT trillionaire.
