2/ J: You've published over 150 threads on NFTs, tokenized art, collecting and various philosophical topics. What gives you the drive to keep going after all these years? Looking at the work you've done it's kind of incredible - but I’m guessing it doesn’t really feel like “work” to you? 6529: You get only one life and you should aim to do things that matter, if you have the capabilities to do so. It is very important to put a decentralized, self-custodied layer of societal infrastructure in place this decade if we want to prevent AI-driven digital totalitarianism. Everything I am doing has this underlying goal. I am working on two dimensions: a) a specific plan that I am working on operationally (The Memes, 6529 Museum, etc) and b) threads to help or enable others to do things that I cannot do myself There are two threads that I would like to highlight: 1) “Freedom to Transact” is almost certainly the most important thing I will ever write. In 3 years, it has become shorthand and was referenced by two of the 2024 Presidential candidates in their campaign speeches (DJT and RFK). The concept, of course, was understood intuitively by many before me, but the particular presentation and encapsulation has made it memetic in a way that now cannot be put back in the box. 2) “Life is Short” is not a crypto thread but I cannot tell you how many people have told me that it has changed how they view and live their life. This makes me happy on a dimension that cannot be captured well by the concept of “work”
