Today l would like to discuss virtual galleries and their benefits for NFT artists.

I have had great experiences as an artist (I had sales on several of my virtual receptions) and as a collector (collected after a private tour with the artist in his gallery), and I would love to encourage you to set up your virtual gallery! Or several... I have over 20, between the ones I curate for the community, some with my collection, and a few with my own work.

Before we get started, I would love to share my most recent gallery, a custom design by 

, and this time I actually added my own art. 🤣

If you're not familiar with NFTs, they are digital assets that are verified on a blockchain. NFTs have become increasingly popular in the art world as they provide a new way for artists to monetize their work and reach a global audience.

One way that artists can showcase their work is through virtual galleries. Virtual galleries offer several benefits, including increased accessibility. Unlike physical galleries, 

virtual galleries can be accessed from anywhere worldwide, allowing artists to reach a much larger audience

Virtual galleries are also cost-effective.

 Setting up a physical exhibition can be expensive and time-consuming, but with a virtual gallery, there's no need to worry about logistics or finding a physical space. This can save artists both time and money.

In addition to being cost-effective, virtual galleries also provide an enhanced user experience. 

Visitors can explore the exhibition at their own pace

, view artworks up close, and even interact with the artist. This level of engagement can create a more memorable and meaningful experience for visitors.

. Virtual galleries provide a direct link between the artist and the buyer by eliminating intermediaries such as galleries or auction houses. This can result in increased revenue for the artist.

. They can showcase a wide variety of art forms, including 3D and multimedia works, which may be difficult to display in a physical gallery.

There are several platforms and metaverses to have your gallery at. I use 

Multidisciplinary, but I have a special connection with 3d and Neo-expressionism, both traditional and digital.

My entire life. Art has always been a release for me and a way of expressing myself.

Escape - I know that sounds strange but growing up extremely poor in an abusive home, art became my escape. It was something I had that allowed me to forget who I was and imagine a better life.

NFTs were a natural progression for me in 2021. I had been involved in the crypto world for many years leading up to it. It gave me a path to incorporate two things I love -technology and art.

My creative process is ever changing. Doing digital art usually involves lots of coffee and many hours in front of the computer. Traditional art is more sporadic for me. There are moments I feel inspired and have to put something down on canvas or paper. I have a very artistic household where I try to encourage creating for my children and involve them in as many processes as possible. If you can incorporate your family into the creative process, you don't take time away from either for the other.

Yes and no. The process and styles are the same, but it has allowed me to create more frequently and explore subjects that I probably wouldn't have explored otherwise.

It was the first mint I did of a traditional painting in which my wife was my muse. 

https: /foundation.app/@peng1.eth/pop-05a9/6

I currently have a drop on Foundation that will include 10 works when finished. "Techno-Expressionist Visions" is a very personal collection depicting the struggles and complexities of the human condition.

Well, there are so many. For starters, Irina @Ambi_eth She has a will like nobody I've ever met. Doing art to survive after escaping Ukraine and raising children alone. One of the strongest women I've ever met. Ella @bright_lightart always a professional with an intense passion, and creativity. David @dpoxley as a techie, I am inspired by his work incorporating technology into his artwork. and you yourself Fer you have a love for art that is unmatched and it shows in everything you do. There are so many others I would love to mention, but I would be here a while. The level of talent that I draw inspiration from in this space is astounding.

If we are talking dream collabs, it would definitely be Xcopy

This is where many would say the future, but I already plan to visit that tomorrow. I would start off at The Curtain Theater -1595 to see the first-ever performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. From there, I'd go to 21st century bc and visit the Sumerians. Where it all began.

Respect and appreciate everyone. We don't know their personal struggles or where they have been. Life is hard enough without having to deal with dicks. Don't be a dick!

, and we have big news to share with the community. We are launching 

If you find my newsletters useful, please share them with friends and subscribe.

There are currently no sponsors for my newsletters. You can support me by collecting my art or the artists I curate.

Dave Swinbank - a blog about me, web3, my insights, opinions and thoughts.

I wear my heart on my sleeve. I always have done and I always will. I am passionate about a lot of things and I have worked very hard to push the ethics, morals and values I believe in, in this space. What I want to achieve is about far more than me, and I am more than happy if what I am building only plays a small supporting act. I don't think a lot of people understand this, or are ready to understand it. And I don't blame them, society's habit's will be hard to break.

My long time subscribers, or people that read my blog regularly, you will know some of my struggle in managing my emotions. For far too long I didn't know how to manage my feelings. How to express them and not keep them locked in. I felt like I had to act a certain way, because that's what other people expected. The truth is, I don't know what anyone else expects, and can never truly know unless someone shares. 

By creating my own external expectations of myself I trapped myself in a box. The whole time I was in this box I never realised it was of my own creation. That these expectations only existed in my head. It took a lot of personal turmoil for me to find this out about myself. As painful as it was, it isn't something I would ever change. That journey of self discovery has been as amazing as it was painful, there have been as many smiles as tears, if not more. 

How did I learn this? It came from acceptance. I figured out how to accept me for me. I have spoken about a list of things that helped me do this. And it still helps me today. I have made a recent effort to complete this list daily and it has made a difference to my mentality, I wont go into the details, but here's the 7 things that I believe changed my life. 

The outcome from this list is that I am comfortable in my own skin. I am healthier and happier than I have ever been in my life. It has affirmed that wearing my heart on my sleeve is the right way to be for me. If you know me, you get all of me. I have empathy and I am passionate about how I view things. For all that I am passionate, I am willing to listen and understand, even if I don't agree. 

The struggle for me now is about how and when I communicate my emotions. I try not to communicate outside my trust circle when I am feeling any emotion intensely. That could be anger or happiness, frustration or relief, pain or ecstasy. For me, I don't want to Tweet something that harms someone else, but at the same time I want to express my feelings. If anyone has issue with how I communicate, they know where to find me. 

There has been some doubt recently, but that doubt has been overcome and now there is more resilience and punchiness. I know why I am doing what I doing, I know it can potentially help billions, or support people who help billions. My brand, which I want to use to push Polygon Alliance, is far bigger than me. I recognise this and making sure that I am not resentful is very important. 

It would be easy for so many people to feel resentment in this space, for so many reasons. It could be money spent, or what is seen as an unequal relationship, maybe a voice in an ear (one that doesn't have the full picture, or maybe one that does), poor communication, a lack of empathy in decision making. Whatever the reason, don't carry resentment with you, it doesn't help you or the people around you. 

Get yourself to the Polygon Showcase today. Find some time and make it happen. These events have repeatedly enabled our whole community to level up. If you are reading this and you don't know what the Polygon Showcase is, you can check my article about this Polygon Showcase on Blockster 

. If you are reading this later, the environment is still open, go check it out. 

There are a huge number of reasons to attend, exhibit or speak in the Polygon Showcase, This is the 6th Showcase event, and every single one is better than the last one. They are hosted once a quarter by Creative Owls and his team. Polygon Alliance and Spatial have supported every event, along with plenty of people in our larger community. 

To see the event gaining new partners and sponsors such as Dash Radio, ThirdWeb & VoxBox is testament to the quality of the event. This is backed up by the speakers at the event, and the opening video sent by Sandeep Nailwal, one of the founders of Polygon. If you think we smashed it with the 6th Polygon Showcase, wait until the 7th. or the 10th. And start thinking about the 20th!

The first day of the Showcase was amazing and I got to hear a lot of stories that I hadn't heard before. The stage drives a real focus on the person talking and makes them the highlight during that time. There will more be artist presentations on day 2, as well as panel discussions and more. If you can't, or couldn't make it, you will be able to find recordings on YouTube from 

. I know Ceecee has been live streaming on Twitter too. 

 has been actively sharing lots on Twitter too, including the screenshot above. 

I got the opportunity to talk about my journey as an artist and explain a little bit about how I kind of fell into creative writing. I am so glad I did find this as an outlet, it's one of the things that helps me manage my emotions. I appreciate the interview and time offered by 

 and I will be back at the next one with a more refined vision of what Brand #Davc_s looks like. 

An update from the Polygon Showcase is that it is now gamified, you can collect items and complete tasks. The gamification within Spatial really does add an extra layer for creators and users to explore. Spatial dropped some info on what's coming with that, but you will have to listen the the panel about The Future of NFT Marketplaces to find out more. 

#PolygonShowcase Speaker Panel

A slightly shorter than usual Blog this week, my week ran away with me and I want to showcase the showcase another time. I owe a 

, so expect 2 from me this week. Next up is Drippy BullZ launch, then FCancer with Polygon Alliance. 

Thank you for taking some time out of your day to read my blog. You can purchase this issue for 0.5 Matic if you wish, just find the collect button. If you search my profile for Issue 1 & 2 are free to collect. Have a wonderful weekend, I will catch you next Friday!

The Write3 Newsletter

I sit at the intersection of writing & web3.  A space I call Write3.  Each week, I deliver 1 tip for writers, 1 Write3 opportunity & 1 literary NFT worth collecting. 

A question I often receive: "What's the difference between Mirror and Paragraph".  I'm working on a long-form piece that explores the similarities and differences in depth, I'd like give you a quick overview for today's newsletter:

 - Is like a web3 Substack.  It excels in offering users a great newsletter platform, while also offering web3 tools.  Highlights include: 

 - Is like a web3 Medium.  It excels in offering users a blogging platform that turns your writing into NFTs.  Highlights include: 

• Web3 Brand Awareness (companies like Optimism, Coinbase and Zerion use the platform)

• Embed & Mint NFTs Directly In Your Post 

Both platforms enable the creation of writing NFTs on Layer 2 blockchains - with Paragraph operating on Polygon and Mirror on Optimism. This feature makes the process of acquiring NFTs cost-effective and efficient, aspects I've discovered to be crucial in the creation and selling process.

I love both platforms and will continue to create and explore on each!

I want to bring your attention to a writing contest being hosted by Temple, my go-to Tezos wallet. This contest is particularly exciting because it's for the writing NFT platform, FxText, which I love. I don't discuss FxText frequently, but it stands as a strong competitor alongside platforms like Mirror and Paragraph, especially considering how it utilizes the cheap & efficient Tezos blockchain.

I receive numerous invitations to participate in various writing contests and contribution platforms. However, it's rare for me to accept these offers. This contest by FxText is an exception. Why? Because I genuinely appreciate FxHash, the parent company of FxText, and I'm passionate about writing NFTs. Without a doubt, I'll be participating in this contest!

If you'd like to enter as well, join us in the 

, I'll be creating a sub-server dedicated to the contest.  Learn more here 👇🏻

💎 Digital Asset Investor 🧙‍♂️ Crypto Content Wizard Laser focused on bringing incredible applications to Life 🌟

Long being an umbrella term to refer to all types of blockchain-based digital assets, crypto, has served an excellent role in helping root the public consciousness around this new economic sector and formulate a distinguishment from traditional instruments of value.

However, as the industry grew beyond cypherpunks and began the integrate itself into multiple facets of the greater global economy, transforming into what is now referred to as Web3, the term “crypto” has begun to fall short in its ability to classify the three archetypes of digital assets.

Today, if you open any listing site/directory 

or listen to most podcasts, you will notice that the terms coin and token are used interchangeably. This is not wrong and conversationally it is ok to comingle the two, but it is just not technically accurate and might cause confusion for the uninformed.

As we prepare for the next influx of users, we must polish the intellectual infrastructure to educate and help guide them in navigating this extremely innovative and iterative wild west.

Crypto is an abbreviation of the term cryptocurrency; the key here being the “currency” part. By definition, currency is a stone's throw away from money, and money is defined by the presence of three characteristics:

Fundamentally, all on-chain assets are cryptographically secure digital units of account, that represent some abstract form of value. However, the vast majority of these digital assets do not by any means qualify as a currency.

There are two categories of three digital asset archetypes, Coins, tokens, and NFTs. The tricky part in separating them is in the semantic use of tokens. Token is an extremely broad term. NFTs are tokens. Tokens are tokens. Coins are tokens. But they are all different.

The best way to express the differences between them all is through example.

The “purest” form of a digital asset.

Cryptocurrencies are digital coins that are natively imbued into the base layer functions of a network. They inherently possess all three characteristics of money and abide by their own unique monetary policy 

(dictated by the consensus logic of their underlying network)

Coin's predominant use cases are accounting/paying for the utilization of their underlying network. Basically, in order for an asset to qualify as a cryptocurrency it must have its own dedicated blockchain/network.

It is this category of assets that acts as vehicles for the establishment of a decentralized ecosystem. Surely, a network can operate without the presence of a crypto asset, however, it is due to the presence of the coin that we can create a fair incentive model for distributed computing.

It is important to identify where coins draw their value from.

As redundant as this may sound, all pricing/value comes boils down to the fundamental economic principle of supply and demand.

Supply aside, coins accrue value from the open market demands for utilizing its network.

The role that coins play on their networks can be split into two categories:

1) They are sybil mechanisms that protect the network from spam. Networks that are free to use are constantly subjected to abuse from empty/low-value transactions that take up processing power and clog up the servers. With the presence of a coin, the costs associated with acquiring them deter value-less activity.

2) They are an incentive model for creating digital pubic goods infrastructure. Blockchain networks require nodes that handle computation to secure the network since governments won't subsidize such activity. By having a coin present, independent operators become interested in contributing as a node to collect proceeds. These proceeds/incentives come in the form of block subsidies and transaction fees.

Applications that are built on top of base layer networks.

This is a more abstract speculative association of an asset.

While it can be argued that this category of digital assets can also replicate the three primitives of money, tokens are fundamentally different from coins based on their degree of separation from the underlying network.

Tokens are fungible assets that are issued on top of existing networks through smart contracts, ultimately forced to pay network fees in the asset of their deploying chain. So, in order to create and use a token users must still acquire the network's coin.

This is commonly seen with startup applications that run on ethereum. If a user owns a token on the ethereum network (such as USDT, USDC, or UNI) they are unable to transact in that token without spending ETH.

Characteristically, tokens can take on any use case that is ascribed to them by their issuing parties. Paying for access to an application is the most intuitive use, however, more exotic forms such as being tools to participate in DAOs, bonding/staking them to investment products for the generation of yield (providing liquidity), or the more fringe uses such as mechanisms to counter-balance the issuance and price pegs of a stablecoin (rip Luna) have been implemented.

The hype of 2020 that broke the camel's back.

This is perhaps the most misunderstood type of asset of the three.

It is astonishing how people seem to be oblivious to the fact that NFTs are the same in nature as are regular tokens.

The degenerates and bots that are running rampant across crypto Twitter continuously refer to NFTs as if they were a radical new technology that is so damn different from everything else that it deserves its own INDUSTRY. No. NFTs are not an industry… They are a technology that can be applied to other industries.

What sets NFTs apart from the preceding two archetypes is their unique non-interchangeable property. Whenever thinking about NFTs just imagine a family of people that are all related by blood but are obviously different in their fingerprints.

This class has immense potential in allowing us to create new, interesting solutions for genuine problems. Supply chain provenance, digital art, digital identities, and exclusive community access, among others, but they themselves (NFTs) are absolutely nothing special.

This is a wake-up call to everybody, NFTs are just another form of tokens, that are non-fungible (it’s literally in the name).

I hope this serves you well on your journey through the burgeoning internet of value.

Anybody who is looking to get involved in the space or is building something and would like to chat, I propose to you, my friend:

Digital Asset Breakdown - Distinguishing between Cryptocurrencies, Tokens, and NFTs

Sfermion's Collider #27

 I want to talk about areas of growth within the industry. The Crypto market as a whole is a still kind of a niche market and anyone who wants NFT's to grow needs Crypto as a whole to grow and more adoption of blockchain technology. There aren't long enough to do anything than summarise some of my thoughts and you know how I love sharing them.

There are 2 main reasons that I believe the technology behind the blockchain and NFT's will catch on. The first is that the blockchain as a whole is an immutable ledger. Every transaction is visible to anyone who wants to see it. The second is that NFT's are unique identifiers that can carry anything, attached to an end user. The overriding thing for me is that both promote accountability and individual responsibility. 

An immutable ledger is what so many people want, even if they don't realise that is what they are asking for. The ability to see every transaction is both a little daunting and a little exciting. It's the anonymity aspects that are most intriguing. If there is an insistence for anonymity then this space doesn't progress as quickly as I believe it can. There is a fine line between digital ID's and government enforced digital ID's, but that (and CBDC's) are for another time.

If you've been following me for a while, you probably know why I believe end user ownership is important now and why I think it will become even more important. To summarise though, I think with the progression of blockchain technology, AI and the moving attitudes/feelings towards corporations, more and more people will want ownership and clarity over their things, digitally or physically. And this includes work and jobs. Content creation is only ever going to grow and owning that content will be important.

When humans were an agricultural society, we ran on credit and debit. People borrowed their seeds and then gave some of their yield to the people that provided them with seeds. It was also a way to barter if you only grew one thing. The term yield doesn't start 7000 years ago, it came about in the middle ages. My point is that humans don't know another way of handling money. In todays society it is no different. 

Car finance, credit cards, mortgages and loans are all personal credit. Money is borrowed to buy a thing and then paid back over time. It's the only way some big purchases are possible for the vast majority of people. This is also true of companies and governments. Most world governments are in debt to the tune of their GDP (if not more). To clarify, most countries owe more money than their whole economy can produce in output in a year. 

How do governments deal with this huge amount of debt. In a variety of ways but quantitative easing is one way. This is where the central banks and/or governments effectively print money to stimulate their economies. This has a multitude of impacts and I don't have enough room to explain them all today, and you will need more knowledge than I can offer to understand it fully. The main point is it means the supply of a currency can be increased and that can destabilise a lot of things economically inside a country. 

Fractionalised banking just adds fuel to this debt fire. Banks only need to keep a small percentage of deposits in hand, to pay people that want to withdraw their money. This has been approved by most governments and is the current way of banking. That means banks can lend a huge sum of their deposits to make an income. This can be via investments, stocks, bonds, loans, mortgages or other forms of credit. 

There are so many reasons for DeFi and Crypto, but regarding my points above. The token is bought, earned or mined and you know how that works before you pay for it, put in the work or the power. You know if the 'currency' you are buying is inflationary or not. You are in control of your funds. If they are in your wallet, they are not being lent out without your permission. There are quite a few assumptions in those statements, but when you add in the immutable ledger aspects I think they are fair. If not today, they will be over time. 

The most important aspect of the Web3 space is the ownership. NFT's are about unique end user ownership and the benefits that can come with that. At least for me. You, as an end user, own whatever it is that is attached to the NFT. This is immutable and stored on the blockchain. You can attach anything you can think of too an NFT, as long as it has the data storage for it, including physical items. If it doesn't have the data storage required, then it can be a membership token to a place that does have that data storage. 

This is an opportunity for consumers to really understand the products they are buying and what rights they have as a user of that product. The Intellectual Property aspects of art and brands is fascinating to explore, the potential is ridiculous and each artist or brand gets to clearly define what their buyers, collectors or end users get as part of their purchase. All terms and conditions can be wrapped into the NFT. This is an opportunity for businesses and customers to do transactions differently. 

Without going into all the potential use cases for NFT's, there are a lot, I want to cover two. I think they are big. The first one is ticketing, for concerts etc. Imagine if Ticketmaster was taken out of the game. The artist and venue would be in full control of any resales (they could limit to a max  of 25% above purchase price and one sale for example) and both have the potential to earn royalties from those sales. Digital tickets have been a thing for a while. 

And data, my big one. When we browse on the blockchain, rather than on Bing or Google, we will be able to attach our data to an NFT. Then as a group, based on our demographics, we will be able to sell our data. Either to companies wanting to build AI language models, do market research or to the blockchain so our wallets can be hit with targeted adverts. Even if we don't drive individual income, we are our own date controllers. 

Web3 gaming will be huge. It just will. Will the gamers know it is Web3? Time will tell. One thing I do know is that our industry needs to stop telling Web2 gamers they need to change and that they are gaming wrong. If someone told you everything you are doing is wrong, or sucks, would you want to hang with that person, try out their tech? Probably not. 

There are a few problems to overcome before the traditional gamer will buy in to games here. Confirming transactions is one of the biggest things. On-Chain gaming needs to figure that out. A lot of the UI/UX is still incredibly clunky and not smooth to navigate. A lot of games aren't games as such, there is no user input that determines the outcome, or no live gameplay for the end user. The gaming demand isn't there to drive development in terms of playability. 

There problems aren't insurmountable and people making games in the Web3 world need to focus on a few things. Remove the need to continuously sign transactions and that could be through a custodial wallet or a portal log in. Keep the user experience fun and simple (there are 100's of games to look at for inspiration and ideas). Reward people in a fun way for taking part, make this a key part of the games eco system. 

These are all the start of points to be made as ever, please look into it further. The only way more people come into crypto is if we make it accessible and understandable. Show the benefits without telling people the way they do things is wrong or idiotic. 

It's been fairly heavy today, I appreciate that, it's why I shared more images than usual. As ever I welcome your opinion and thoughts. Welcoming other perspectives is one of the ways I grow. Thank you for your company and time, I will catch you next Friday!

A summary of some key areas for growth

Areas We Can Grow as an Industry - Issue 45

Crypto Sapiens

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know NFTs have increased in popularity in recent years and revolutionized how we connect with communities. And now they are coming to podcasting.

Podcast NFTs offer a new way for content creators to monetize their work and connect with their fans.

There are several examples of how content creators are using NFTs to connect more deeply with their community. Many top creators have launched their genesis collection to extend the reach of their content and entrench themselves further in the web3 ecosystem. 

Podcast NFTs can be used to create a more engaged and loyal fan base. By giving fans something to collect, podcast creators can encourage them to stay tuned for new episodes and participate in the community.

In addition to the benefits for content creators, podcast NFTs can also have a positive impact on web3 media. By providing a way for fans to support their favorite shows, podcast NFTs can help to make web3 media more sustainable and equitable.

As the podcasting industry continues to grow, podcast NFTs are poised to play an increasingly important role. Offering content creators a regenerative alternative to monetizing their work and connecting with fans.

Crypto Sapiens has hosted many of web3's top thinkers and tinkerers on its podcast for almost two years. You can find our full podcast library on our 

We actively use many of the tools that we discuss on our podcast. We have issued collectibles on POAP, Lens Protocol, Orange Protocol, and Disco. They have all played a role in connecting us with our community.
