GM Anon, This newsletter is a weekly curation of my Twitter Bookmarks.
Hi Pals !
A calm week before the NFT NYC storm !
Bookmark #1: Roadmaps for Artists ?
Let's take a minute to address a point made by @pablorfraile in his interview with @nftnow. Pablo says artists can (and should) protect the interest of their collectors, not necessarily through a roadmap but rather through focusing on doing less, better.
Beyond "pleasing collectors", it's a no-brainer to curate what you put your energy into, actually it should be taught at school !
At the end of the day, successful collectors are also great ambassadors and both benefit from a healthy secondary market 🤷♂
btw, can we all agree pablo's call setup is insanely good ?
Ep. 129: Digital Art: Evolve or Die? With @pablorfraile
From artist-collector dynamics to ETH vs. USD, Pablo tackles the space with passion and, at times, controversial insight

Bookmark #2: Recovering NFTs from a Hacked Wallet
Back in early 2020 I got pwned by a phishing scam (quite ironic considering my line of work 😅), anyway I didn't lose much back then so I just forgot about it.
Lately I remembered and realized I had a few NFTs in the wallet that were dear to me (nothing of actual value, just sentimental), that's when I asked you guys:
Basically bundling the funding in eth + the NFT Approvals/Transfers in one tx, best paired with flashbots or smth
Indeed, the scammed had a sweeping bot in place, meaning any ETH I sent to the account was swiftly stolen by them, leaving me unable to send my NFTs to a recovery wallet 😡.
Thanks to your help, I found @officer_cia's post (they are a blessing to the space). CIA mentions HackedRecoverWallet, a tool that does exactly what I needed !
Paired with great UX, and absolutely NO paid feature ! I had recovered the assets safely in a few minutes. I can safely say you should all bookmark the website, just in case, who knows...

Bookmark #3: Google can Make or Break your Business ?
Before I start, I have one question for you:
Are Artists businesses ?
In a world where "creator economy" is a thing, I think so, but why ?
I remember when I was younger saying the myth of "hungry artists" existed only because they didn't consider what they did a business. Completely disregarding best practices in how to manage treasury, marketing etc.
Just look at the big names: Pak, Refik Anadol, XCopy, Beeple... and it's the same for trad art !
None of them work alone, all of them consider what they do as part of a business.
Is this the only path to true success ? Maybe...
At this point I forgot why I bookmarked this tweet, maybe Google knows:
Now I've got a decision to make:
a) Pivot the entire business, or
b) Start over and build a new business from scratch
I broke down the full journey, what went wrong, and what's next in this 11-minute video…
What ? Only 3 bookmarks this week ?
Alright alright, here's a bonus one 😛
