I try my best to keep it in perspective. 6 months ago, I had 10 total collectors. That number is closer to 150 today.

If you're building like me, keep your head down and keep grinding.

- Dropped the 8th poem for #CryPoWriMo today. The prompt is Voice, and I used that to create some thoughts on freedom of speech. Let me know what you think.
The image is created with the SDXL Beta model using NightCafΓ© Studio. I fed the poem to the model, with a few modifiers and then picked the result that spoke to me most.
Oh, you can collect it on the Tezos chain for 3 XTZ or here for free if you follow me here.
- Twitter is blocking Substack.
Why do web3 content creators continue using these web2 platforms?
Twitter is the most centralized platform in the world. It's owned by one guy!
The options for web3 publishing exist:

ππ» Paragraph
Use them & control your future!
