so what in your opinion is the fair market value of a ross?

AlbieQuirky posted:

ross is apparently worth $160 as a source of chemicals, or perhaps up to $45 million if parted out

the editors regret the error

a ross is mostly water, and we all know what intrinsic value that has

there is a hard cap on the amount of water molecules in the universe and the difficulty to mine it goes way up past a certain point. obviously this means you should go long on water.

water also makes its own rainbow charts that end in gold. checkmate statists.

i have never had a bitcoin dream but i did once dream about tripping over a page of threads that was on the ground like a milkie gif

The other day I dreamed that I was wearing an insanely long tie that was way below my belt, and I went to the toilet and it dipped in the toilet and touched the turds, and I was mad that my tie got dirty. Can someone PLEASE tell me how the content of my dream is good for bitcoin because I have been thinking so hard about this and Twitter was VERY unhelpful

your tie represents the blockchain. because it is longest, it is the best and truest. but sometimes the burden of that truth is that your tie (blockchain) touches some lovely water (child pornography)

Easy Computer Living is rare digital art on MakersPlace by Joe Chiappetta.

I set out to draw a comic that is fun, retro-stylish, semi-smart, yet also with powerful hidden depths. Let’s thrown in some social commentary, and irony too. So join me in a grand toast to easy computer living!

quote:

Soon it will not be enough to just collect art, or view art. The rising population of digitally native people will want to experience new adventures with their favorite art. Games can provide the perfect vehicle for such art. Imagine a virtual game where collectors shoot at each other's avatars while holding defensive shields that take the form of particular pieces of their art collection. Perhaps the art remains digitally scarred for a week before reverting back to its original appearance. The winner of the game could receive new rare digital art from an artist. Or perhaps the winner could receive a piece of the defeated collector's art.

Or imagine a virtual 3-D world where you--as an avatar--walk through digital galleries that display art on virtual walls that prompt you to discover new art by solving mysteries or riddles. All sorts of gamified incentives can be coded into this realm. Perhaps the more artwork of other artists that you share about on social media, the more points you receive that can be traded in for new artworks. Another option is that members of this 3-D virtual art world can earn new gallery wall space to exhibit their own collections as they complete certain online games or tasks.

As you can quickly see, such experiences are well-suited for building memorable interactions, and they are exactly what is needed to keep art more relevant as a highly valued item in our fast-paced, attention-competitive society. Therefore to the galleries, curators, artists, and collectors, I pose this question as a challenge;
To build a more vibrant future, how will you gamify your corner of the art world today?

Remember also some related facts of development.

• The Internet was quite fragmented at its inception. In fact, many sites only worked in certain browsers. Many computers did not even have a web browser. The first web browser was created in 1990, yet it took at least 8 years before the Web Standards Project started to push for the Internet to have clear standards for web browsers.
  
• While Bitcoin went live in 2009, it took another 6 years before anyone could issue rare digital art on top of Bitcoin (through Counterparty).
  
• With Ethereum launching in 2015, it was not until over 2 years later that anyone could issue rare digital art through Ethereum.
  
• Launched in 2018 as a faster blockchain with no transaction fees (unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum), major rare digital art markets on the EOS blockchain (such as pixEOS) will not go live until the later portion of 2019.
  

With these things in mind, the "urgent" feeling of disappointment or even frustration when delays bump through new technologies are--in most cases--not cause for alarm at all. It's all relative, and just a normal part of the development process. In other words, that's life; shrug it off.

Rare Digital Art Downtime Game Plan

• Think of more relevant tags and text to add to your existing artwork.
  
• Re-share previously released, yet unsold art on social media.
  
• Look around the web to see if this art would be good as a new submission for a contest or exhibition (which could get you extra publicity).
  
• Let existing collectors know from you by direct message that you will soon be coming out with a new piece, and you can give them an exclusive preview.
  
• Write a full article on your blog where your newly released artwork will serve as the main illustration, thus giving the artwork a wider potential audience.
  
• Add that design to a merchandising site so fans can order it on t-shirts, phone cases, and more.
  
• Review and revise pricing on your previously released unsold artworks.
  
• Ask a colleague to post a review of your existing work.
  
• Catch up on the necessary accounting work associated with your businesses so it does not all pile up.
  
• Study what people who are more successful than you are doing.
  
• Become a rare digital art collector.
  
• Make related art, thus creating a cohesive series.
  

As anyone can imagine, the list of useful, professional, and forward-moving tasks that can be done during unexpected delays are quite involved and productive, in-and-of themselves. More could easily be added to this list as well. Those in the crypto-art field long enough know too well that a strategy to manage blockchain delays is simply a good thing to have.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art
The Blind Demon of Crypto Art wants to be worshiped.
He wants you to think that you need to be worshiped too.
He wants you to think that crypto art will solve most of the world's problems.

He wants you to think that cryptocurrency leaders are uniquely qualified to save the world.
He wants you to think that economic revolution will happen any minute now.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art is very attractive and entirely compelling.
He goes by many names, including Art on the Blockchain Demon, Rare Digital Art Demon, Digital Goods Demon, Non-Fungible Token Demon, Tokenized Art Demon, Crypto-Collectible Demon, Rare Digital Assets Demon, Blockchain Art Demon; the list goes on.
Yet regardless of the remarkable innovation this creature so boldly associates himself with, never forget; he is a demon.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art wants you to think that your art will last forever.
He wants every crypto artist to believe that collectors will gladly buy most of their creations.
He wants you to think that cryptocurrency will last forever.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art wants you to think the market is not flooded.
He wants you to live for art and not the demands of responsible reality.
He wants you to check the prices of cryptocurrency at least twice a day--every day.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art wants you to think that Internet acquaintances love you deeply.
He wants you to serve cryptocurrency and art with equal passion.
He wants you to only be happy if a collector buys your rare digital art.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art wants you to love cryptocurrency and art instead of loving people.
He wants to be your closest relationship.
He wants you to sell your soul, and he gladly takes payment in all all kinds of crypto.

The Blind Demon of Crypto Art is wrong.
He is not your friend.
He is your enemy.

The Short, Blunt Answer: What Do I Own When I Buy Rare Digital Art?

It's nothing you can touch.
Your purchase helps fuel a crypto crazy creative market ecosystem.
You bought into a crazy risk with the potential for crazy rewards that can just as easily drop to zero in value or go sky high.
You own cryptocurrency with a pretty face.
A unique crypto token is what you own; the art is what you see.
