Story time: Back in 2021, one of the most legendary wallets in the space was an account named fartlord.eth. Massive collection. Ridiculous floor sweeps. The wallet was full of really IYKYK top-notch fine art (remember Folia?) and also ridiculous degen PFP rugs, with no distinction made between them whatsoever. It was a really fun account, and FartLord and I became good friends. Around the same time, a very successful artist in the trad realm asked to meet with me at the art fairs. This artist has top-notch gallery representation, and is, by several orders of magnitude, much much wealthier than me. I was excited to hang out and chat. Nope. They wanted to ask me a favour: could I please, PLEASE introduce them to FartLord? They NEEDED to meet FartLord and they needed ME to make it happen. And I will always remember walking through Regents Park, with this artist who was far out of my league, bedecked in Dolce & Gabanna, looking at me pleadingly and saying the name out loud again and again: "FartLord." "FartLord?" "FartLord!" And that's when I knew that NFTs were the great equalizer.
