Bitcoin’s not gonna save Argentina.

There's no such thing as DeFi on Bitcoin, but honestly, there is so much versatility on Bitcoin you don't actually need it. Like you can have Bitcoin on Bitcoin, or Bitcoin, and maybe also Bitcoin. You can collect your Bitcoin, or trade your Bitcoin.

In 2021 in NFTs we celebrated innovation and weirdness. Experimentation and concept came first.

A hard decision but the necessary one to ensure the longevity of what we've been building so far. Something more important than a product, a shift of the mindset of the NFT ecosystem.
A proposal, a quest to find cultural value, and a truly unstoppable community and brand.
An announcement. The JPG products have been paused.
But our brand and community carry on, because they're truly unstoppable.
Stay tuned for what comes next. We're strong and optimistic. We hope you stick with us.

Tech people know 0 about culture and that is the main root cause of every single problem here.
Culture does not need support, you need the support of culture.
the only part that failed on music nfts is the same part that failed as a whole...the narrative and the marketing is still only appealing to the same demographics...
and lets be real that demographic doesn't know enough about culture to burst the bubble.
