It’s true that: WE ARE NORMIES.

“We are surrounded by systems that we do not fully understand. We participate in ones we did not choose, while continuously creating new ones whose consequences we cannot entirely predict.” — Armin Blasbichler, Jury Member, ABS Digital Art Prize 2026

@MetaFroggy_ @durov I believe people are ready for this

Are you thinking about improving Telegram's onboarding flow so users can better discover and learn about all its features but also blockchain ones? Most people I know (99%) still think of it as just a messaging app, but it's so much more than that, right? That's why I started working on (and vibe-coding) a beta: therabbithole.academy #MTONGA right?

That’s why Telegram Secret Chats never show message content in push notifications. Since 2013, Secret Chats have remained the most secure usable way to communicate. US gov funded Signal has too many questionable dependencies on other US companies (AWS, MS, Intel SGX…)

“Artists can pull apart the seams of a system, find what is missing, and make something new from that gap.” — Abigail Miller (@proofofgail), Jury Member, ABS Digital Art Prize 2026

🍷 @BtcWine is BACK at @NFCSummit! Last year was unforgettable: fine wine meets crypto culture, and it hit different. This year they're bringing it again. Bordeaux grands crus, crypto payments, good vibes. See you at the booth 🥂

𝗘𝘅𝗵𝗶𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 The series visited museums, galleries, public screens worldwide. Yet digital art is immaterial by nature—so what can exhibiting be in this new zeitgeist? Here's how the Timechain adorns physical, virtual, and human spaces. 🧵/8

Before NFC 2026, we're bringing back the NFC Brunch ! 🥐 🇫🇷 Meet the team, our first speakers, early partners, and ask us anything about what's coming this year. April 16th // 10am – 1pm @ArtVerseParis, Paris Inside the "du savoir-rêve" exhibition by @aurecevettier. Register 👇

[1/4] Last week we hosted the first @OpenClaw meetup. Big thanks to our sponsor @Versoquest. Here's the thing about Verso: it's not a human. It's not a company. It's an autonomous agent running on Openclaw. 🧵↓

Each cycle creates its own hero. Im not here to be hero, i had an idea: Normies We launched it 45 days ago. It’s a fully on-chain collection, pixel art pfp project. It evolved with Canvas by giving collectors to be co-creators of the collection. It’s evolving to some bigger than i imagine with ERC-8004 and ERC-8183. We are blessed with a strong, creative, mature community that let us to create more on top of Normies. We took the risk to create something never built so far. It took years, decades for people to understand and “name” every art movement. It took years for people to understand digital ownership via NFTs. When CryptoPunks first launched, over time people realised ownership matters. The people who are on Reddit, who are already into tech, blockchain get it. Check Rodo’s pinned post. New things takes time to be accepted by masses, and i believe we are into something new with Normies. We have already OG holders, believers, builders, contributors. I will push boundaries, we will push boundaries. Idea first, evolution is next and then execution. We are in the really early phase of Normies like 1.5 months old, but looking back what we did is truly amazing, thanks to everyone involved. Future rewards the people who has trust, belief and vision. We are all Normies.

After 6 years of maturing, my most ambitious series drops with @TransientLabs Curated—April 16th. 1/1/18—more accurately 7+/1/18, each being a wealth of art & its own museum. 10 available. A protocol for centuries, where collectors become Patrons of the III Renaissances: 🧵/6
