Over 200 people showed up on Friday night for @cycol_gallery’s opening of Only In NY.
No one was talking about bear markets, or algorithms, or rug pulls, leaving the space, or making fun of people leaving the space, or anything negative. It was about connection and collaborative opportunities. It was about art and our love for it. It was people meeting for the first time and being genuinely excited to be on the cusp of something special as we build between the worlds of art, tech, and finance. It was love from start to finish.
The TL here has been hurting for some time now. Don’t get sucked into the bullshit. Show up for those who are continuing to forge ahead. Support and learn from them. Then start building your own things that connect a broader community. Start small and hold onto the tiny wins to keep you going. Imagine if you did that now, right now, where you will be in 5 years.
Don’t focus your life around this energy sucking cesspool of an app. Go live. Go build something you’ll be proud of down the road.
