@PianoAround Sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney is a great example of a passionate American rich socialite supporting American art with an art club that later evolved into the @whitneymuseum. thevintagenews.com/2017/03/14/ger…

1/ Nomad just got drained for over $150M in one of the most chaotic hacks that Web3 has ever seen. How exactly did this happen, and what was the root cause? Allow me to take you behind the scenes 👇

Selling mass produced cheap leather bags, with edition sizes of 10000 or more, for a 9000% markup to middle class or new international rich (old international rich already own Gagosian accounts), you too can own a fine art foundation with epic works.

There might be some stuff for fabric and quality from real luxury stuff like Loro Piana. You will later feel what I feel if you spend $800 on a 100% cotton hoodie with a big logo.

I was once a crazy fuck addicted to hype clothing. Buying for logo, $850 hoodies from SSENSE. Once I spent enough, got to know the designers, went to dinner, and realized most don't wear what they design or get free stuff, I stopped. I no longer contribute to their wealth.

🧵This week, we’re featuring some of the leading artists, collectors, and builders in the NFT space here on our Twitter account. @jakethedegen is taking over, starting right now.💥⬇️

Civil rights protest posters, Russian and American circus advertisement, Albrecht Dürer drawings, and scientific illustrations collide, create hybrids, and blend into one another to create a technicolor image of the chaotic world we have built and the possibilities of anew.

"Dominion" is now listed on @SuperRare . This piece is about man's abuse of the natural world and our relentless pursuit of controlling and dominating what is not ours. superrare.com/artwork-v2/dom…

Focus on improving your body's capacities instead of your muscle mass: strength, work capacity, endurance, resilience, mobility, etc. If you train to improve all your body's functions, and your nutrition is in order, you'll end up looking muscular in an athletic way.

I ignore the supplement plugs on T Nation, eat natural, and eat like a caveman. When you push yourself to the very limit every day in the gym, the rest takes care of itself.

Sharing this to start your Monday right: t-nation.com/training/news-… Focus on longevity while performing like a warrior. How many 260 pound 80-year-olds do you see dominating pull ups at 10 reps or more? Christian Thibaudeau

Be at nucleus, no matter what you collect, play, know the source. Otherwise, why do you do it?

Connoisseurship is defined by the quest for knowledge. Many are just tourists in life getting hustled by low level tourist guides. Same in Jewelry, same in art, same in cars. They want to collect a Kaws yet only know Miami garbage art "agency" without knowing Per Skarstedt.

This is a jewelry zone free from club-going amateurs. You won't see many Miami/New York club goers wearing their melee diamond junk knowing anything about stones. That’s called 碎钻, no value. Ask them about Gübelin, SSEF. Besides to art, I am passionate about jewelry.

This mesmerizing 17ct unheated Kashmir sapphire ring sold at @Sothebys HK for $4 million: a record $236,404 per carat

You will get better quality if you spend less on their logo promotion.

If you want to make a fine grade pendant, read this forum extensively. Unheated stones certified by SSEF, Gubelin, or GIA within the last 20 years are good stones. Either you are a connoisseur or you don't do it at all. pricescope.com/community/thre…

Among all the gemstone and diamond dealers I've purchased things such as unheated Burma/Kashmir sapphires from, no one recommended Tiffany Co and their quality. Either it's heated stone or it's overpriced by 300-400%. Ask around before you get an NFTiff.
