Amy Castor and I write up Curio Cards, the first Ethereum art NFTs.

Part two of the early history of NFTs, from the book I’m writing with Amy Castor, is up now, over on Amy’s blog.

This is a draft of part one of the history chapter for our planned NFT book. Corrections and nitpicking are most welcomed!

Top Shot claimed to be about the cards — but it was all about the trading market. And it wasn’t so great at letting traders take out their money.

Admittedly, NFTs are not as bad as that time the WWF ended up funding mercenaries to rape, torture and kill suspected poachers. Whoops!

I changed my own Twitter avatar to a pentagon, to show my allegiance to the fiat petrodollar.

Bitcoin fans are gullible. Talk to them about the future of money, throw in a few buzz words and they believe any garbage.

Number go up! Because there’s trouble at Tether.

“Regulatory clarity” is a crypto phrase meaning “why can’t I do this obviously and hilariously illegal thing, if I just sprinkle some crypto on top?”

I will admit that if it turns out to be Gerry in the coffin, and he isn’t on a beach somewhere, I’ll be just a little disappointed.
