Venmo, Uber, Airbnb, and more were founded during the 2008 recession.
Creator monetization, censorship, and ownership problems triggered a new era of the internet.

- How digital art will shape our world?
Ever looked at digital art and felt like you were peeking into the future? That's because you are. Digital art is more than just pretty pictures on your screen. It's becoming a big part of what shapes how we see the world.
The world will be where art isn't just made by a few famous artists in big cities. Instead, anyone with a computer can create and share art with the whole world. This is where we're heading with digital art, especially with things like blockchain and NFTs making it easier for artists to get noticed and paid for their work.
This isn't just about making art more accessible. It's about changing who gets to decide what art is important. In this new world, we're all part of the conversation. We get to explore art in ways we never thought possible, from virtual galleries to art that changes based on your mood.
The future of art is bright, and it's digital. It's going to make us rethink not just art, but how we connect with each other.

- **Welcome to the My Lens Journey series!**
Next up in our series, we're sharing @lens/seliqui's journey in the Lens garden 🌿
Check out his story below👇️
**📌 When did your Lens journey start?**
I joined in November 2022. At @lens/0xminervawallet we got the offer to mint a handle for the project, and luckily I got my personal handle along with it ^^
**📌 What's your favorite thing about the Lens ecosystem?**
Guess it's that you keep your followers across all the platforms that build on top of it.
That's especially interesting for projects. For @lens/fraction\_token I'm constantly switching between different areas like Web/Frontends/Coding, 2D/3D Animations, Graphics, Blockchain specific stuff, and even VR - sometimes even livestream the process.
Usually, I would post different content where I think it's the best option, and then inform the audience on other platforms separately about it. No need for that on Lens!
And of course, the possibility to directly earn from your content is also quite significant. Especially now that this got some traction again with @lens/bonsai .
Also, currently most of the people on Lens bring along some blockchain knowledge, so the interactions/feedback is more rewarding for projects aimed at them compared to the Bird-Platform.
**📌 Your favorite Lens app?**
Currently primarily @lens/hey on the Desktop and @lens/orb on Mobile. But I'm switching between multiple Lens-Apps on a daily basis - partly because each one has their unique benefits, but also to stay updated on the latest status and improvements - and keep track of their Bonsai integrations ;)
I use Orb, @lens/buttrfly @lens/lensplayxyz on the Phone - and @lens/kaira @lens/madfinance @lens/tape @lens/ornaart on the desktop. As well as Hey, @lens/bloomerstv and Lenscan @lens/daoleno on both.
**📌 What are your expectations for the Lens ecosystem in 2024?**
A steady rise in minted profiles and daily/monthly active users.
Open Actions right on the Social Feed will make currently somewhat complex (DeFi) interactions easier step-by-step, making it also more appealing for the average user to also try it.
I'm already curious what devs are coming up within the next months, and I hope that Bonsai plays a key role in it 🤝

- It’s a great day to spend some @lens/bonsai on Lens 😍🌳😍
- The narrative around Lens native tokens is gaining momentum!
There's buzz about lots of projects and creators eager to launch their own Lens native tokens, following $BONSAI's lead.
This movement is not only enhancing the ecosystem's richness but also significantly boosting users' loyalty to @lens/lens ecosystem.
At Kaira, we're pioneering by being the first Lens app to integrate these tokens into our platform, helping to bootstrap the process and further fostering this growing allegiance.
A new era is on the horizon 🏵️

- I want to write this message to Carla because I admire her energy, what she does as a woman. She inspires more women in Web3 and Lens. I hope you do many, many more great things @lens/cmn\_\_ 💙💙 @lens/lensholic
- We all know that $BONSAI is spreading through the garden quickly these days 🌳
So we asked @lens/carlosbeltran one of the @lens/bonsai co-founders, about many curious things about Bonsai!
Are you curious? Keep scrolling down! ⤵️
**💭 Where does Bonsai's name come from, and what is its story?**
🎙️When we first started thinking about dropping a memecoin for the Lens ecosystem, we knew it needed to be on brand, maybe even part of the lore.
Aside from almost being the name for their DA layer (now Momoka), we figured Bonsai was the perfect name for this project.
We started working on it internally at @lens/madfinance and invited @lens/seliqui to join, he’s a known builder in the space. It’s been fun working together on this over the last few weeks.
💭 **Can Bonsai be used as a governance token in the future?**
🎙️ To be perfectly honest, we did not expect Bonsai to be adopted by the ecosystem as fast as it has. Our roadmap for Bonsai originally was just open actions + incentives.
As with any token, Bonsai of course could be used for voting in DAOs like on Snapshot. But Bonsai wasn't created with this in mind.
We'll see over time whether or not this will be a future use case, if the demand is there.
💭 **What open actions are currently being planned with Bonsai? Do you have any alpha?**
🎙️ We’ve built about 7 open actions at MadFi and there are a few that work well with Bonsai.
I think the few that will come live and be integrated in Lens clients are RewardSwap (uniswap-powered swaps), PublicationBounty (pay for content or services), StakingRewards (lock your tokens to earn more), and RentableSpace (turn your post into a billboard).
I would recommend using these as we roll them out, as it qualifies you for the Season 2 Airdrop.
💭 **Do you have a plan for creators?**
🎙️ We have 10% of the total supply allocated for Bounties. With this chunk, we plan on incentivizing content creation in the Lens ecosystem at first, and then beyond when we start to expand outside of Lens.
💭 **What utilities does Bonsai currently provide in the apps?**
🎙️ In the first week, we saw pretty much all the popular Lens clients support $bonsai as a collect currency, and it’s been amazing to see the surge in collects and creativity.
Bonsai started as a memecoin, but it’s quickly becoming the culture currency of Lens.
Today it’s collects, tomorrow it’s swaps & rewards, and then it could be something completely new that we haven’t seen in crypto social.
💭 **What are the goals for Bonsai?**
🎙️ If Bonsai remains the culture currency of Lens and is used across all Lens Open Actions, then we accomplished our original goal. I think this setup is the perfect introduction for users new to crypto social.

- **Welcome to the My Lens Journey series!**
Next up in our series, we're sharing @lens/tinyrainboot's journey in the Lens Garden 🌿
Check out her story below👇️
📌 **When did your Lens journey start?**
I joined @lens/lens in September 2022 - I tried to get a whitelist for a while. I can't remember how I managed anymore, I think I had to follow some podcasters who were talking about the protocol on Twitter or something like that 😂
📌 **What's your favorite thing about the Lens ecosystem?**
There are two things. The first is definitely the people I've met here -- online interactions have turned into IRL friendships ☺️The second is that I've had a much easier time to grow a following here on Lens by being genuine and showing up regularly than I have had on web2 social media. Here, I don't feel like I'm fighting with an algorithm I don't understand.
📌 **Your favorite Lens app?**
Hard to say, as I use a few regularly. @lens/phaver for the community, @lens/buttrfly for the desktop experience (I usually prefer to use my laptop than my phone), and @lens/orb for the new slick look.
- I have experienced @lens/kaira V2 and I would like to share a few thoughts:
* Bookmark is very good
* I think Launchpad open action is one of the most unique features I've seen in Lens so far.
* UX and UI is so fresh and smooth. I love it!
What I would like to see:
* DM (I don't understand why the dm part is so rare in Lens)
* In the notifications section there are only "comment" and "mentions" filters. It would be great if add some extras like collect, like

- HOW NIGERIA GOT THERE INDEPENDENCE.
Nigeria was granted independence on October 1, 1960. A new constitution established a federal system with an elected prime minister and a ceremonial head of state. The NCNC, now headed by Azikiwe (who had taken control after Macaulay’s death in 1946), formed a coalition with Balewa’s NPC after neither party won a majority in the 1959 elections. Balewa continued to serve as the prime minister, a position he had held since 1957, while Azikiwe took the largely ceremonial position of president of the Senate.
Following a UN-supervised referendum, the northern part of the Trust Territory of the Cameroons joined the Northern region in June 1961, while in October the Southern Cameroons united with Cameroun to form the Federal Republic of Cameroon. On October 1, 1963, Nigeria became a republic and Azikiwe became president of the country, although as prime minister Balewa was still more powerful.
- @lens/orbapp V2 is freaking awesome 🔥🔥🔥 Just need dark mode 🕶️
What do you guys thinking about it?
- Hey frens 👀 I caught a glimpse of the upcoming Kaira V2, and it looks promising 👏👏
The new logo immediately grabbed my attention. I'm really excited about the forthcoming @lens/kaira V2 🔥🔥
I noticed a design that's quite different from the current one; it seems simpler and smoother. I believe Web3 social apps should focus on a smoother UI like Kaira's. Even this might need some improvements. But anyway, I'm so excited to use it! When's the launch, sir @lens/kaira ? 👀

- Why will there be a bull run for crypto in 2024?
Many say 2024 will be a bull year for crypto. Some predict a recession and disagree, but I'm betting on a bull run. Here's why:
1️⃣ ETF Approvals: The expected Bitcoin ETF approval is a big deal. It's just a matter of time before institutional investors jump in. They're waiting for the perfect moment, probably when the rest of us get impatient and sell.
2️⃣ Bitcoin Halving: Historically, Bitcoin has surged around halving times. It doesn't matter when it happens; what matters is the hype it creates.
3️⃣ Distrust in Dollar: With constant money printing, the dollar's credibility is waning. Bitcoin, with its limited supply, is poised to shine when the dollar struggles, especially under tough economic conditions expected in 2024.
4️⃣ Hype Hype Hype: All these factors are setting the stage for a massive hype. People ignoring crypto today will be scrambling to get in when Bitcoin hits new highs. Plus, cheaper Ethereum gas fees, impactful new projects, and the evolving NFT narrative will contribute to this hype.
I believe 2024-2025 will be huge for crypto. Just my two cents, of course! It's all about the long game now.
- Today I spent the whole day on my list of blogs/articles etc. to read with coffee. What about you fren? How was your day?
- A dance of colors and emotions, where art meets soul. Every stroke tells a story, every hue reveals an emotion.
This is a mural painting by Sabotaje Al Montaje, a Canarian artist who has been painting walls, buildings and facades around the world for 29 years.
Sabotaje Al Montaje: His real name is Matías Mata, and he chose his artistic name to reflect his view of society as a montage that needs to be sabotaged with color. He studied Fine Arts at the University of La Laguna and has participated in social projects in different neighborhoods. He defines urban art as a free, public, educational and sometimes anarchic expression.
His style: He is known for his colorful and detailed portraits of people, often with their faces covered by geometric shapes. He uses spray paint, acrylics, brushes and rollers to create his artworks. He also experiments with abstract forms and patterns. He says he is inspired by the people he meets, the places he visits and the cultures he learns from.
