A couple of updates to the @teia.bsky.social main site on teia.art: The blogging features (now simply called "text", some people didn't want the baggage of "blog") are now live. teia.art/text (Reminder that the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct rules still apply to text mints as well.) #Tezos

Why does this crash in home sales matter for #crypto? Well, right now there's a lot of liquidity locked up on housing assets that are overpriced but aren't selling. That's just a lot of money sitting there doing nothing. #realestate

Stereohopper's music is nothing like you've ever heard before. RIP, friend. 🙏 www.youtube.com/live/qEpt1lJ... #music

The @teia.bsky.social team accomplished a great feat today. We've been hinting at it for a while but an official announcement will be coming soon. People *will* be surprised. 🔜

It's kind of interesting to do a side by side comparison between Alysa Liu and Sam Bankman since they were both considered prodigies or "promising talents" when they were younger. They both also had:

Is the #Metaverse Dead? No, it Just Smells Funny - January 14, 2026 Is the metaverse dead? A deep dive into how cultural perceptions about real-estate and real-life housing affects how the idea of virtual land is perceived. (Featuring Decentraland.) www.buzzsprout.com/2565701/epis...

Art becomes a weird thing during times of economic uncertainty because on one hand, when times get tough, the art budget is usually the first to go. www.buzzsprout.com/2565701/epis... On the other hand, the hard times itself creates demand for escapism/understanding. #NFTs #web3 #cryptoart #Tezos

Economic death spiral? Buy art. Will the markets consider NFTs as art, as a hedge, or a commodity that goes down as well? The NFTs on @TeiaCommunity are 100% art so that part I'm not worried about. The rest? Ehh, take your chances, I guess. 🎭 finance.yahoo.com/news/ray-dal...

Started a new podcast in response to the markets going down. Figured it was a good time. Still figuring out the details but I think I figured out how I can get these out relatively quickly. Stay tuned for more: www.buzzsprout.com/2565701 #crypto #nfts

People tend to get touchy during bear markets so I'll be embedding some of my less popular opinions inside these podcasts so it only goes to people who want to hear it. Nothing controversial or scandalous. Just basic stuff. www.buzzsprout.com/2565701 Also available on Apple Podcast and Spotify.

Now that the player for teia.cafe is more stable now, we've been running it on a 24/7 livestream as a stress test to see if it can run autonomously when needed. This is a direct stream of the live app itself so feel free to use it for your own purposes as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX3K...

A radio livestream with some of the artists and musicians I've been working with - teia.cafe's Decentralized Radio! www.twitch.tv/tezcon_seattle

I posted this before, but the power of "I don't know". It fuels artistic experimentation more than you think. It gets dangerous once people start thinking they know what's going on. Stay hungry, folks - stay dumb. 🤪 thinkjarcollective.com/articles/fra...

Hey folks, we just did an overhaul to teia.cafe's API this week - it's fully integrated with TEIA's local API so the feeds should be much higher quality now.

Hey, artists of #Tezcon - many of you asked for documentation of your works at the event itself so I took a feed of the display prior to the event with the full gallery in display, here. youtu.be/17FKHt2a4tc objkt.com/curations/ob... #Tezos

Visiting the #westseattletroll as part of Tezcon, day 2! Marc Fendel gives great tours of the city, for sure. 2 more days until the main event! June 28th, Kenyon Hall. #Seattle #Music #Art #Tezos

74 submissions for #Tezcon's open submissions! Lots of great works in all kinds of styles, from all over the world. Grateful for both the artists and opportunity to make this a reality! 🤩 June 28th at Kenyon Hall! objkt.com/curations/ob... #Tezos

Chocolate covered Tezcon fortune cookies! Pretty tasty, too. 😋 Kenyon Hall, June 28th starting at 4pm! This Saturday! #Tezos

Uploaded the how-to guide for TEIA's new copyright/licensing registration feature - we're making the last few changes and should be out to the public, soon. teia.art/objkt/869379/ #copyright #ai #nfts #music #art

Contrary to popular belief, I am not an alien from another planet. This week I'll be using what's left of my product management brain cells to try to explain this whole NFT utility thing to people in...plain English. If I run out of cells, I apologize in advance. 😂 #copyright #AI #Music #Art #Tezos

Dang, our banner is looking pretty good! 😁 @teia.bsky.social #Tezos

Tezos folks are just normal people looking for better ways to do things. But I guess what makes them "weird" is that they're willing to take a chance on something genuinely new. That may be a pretty rare thing these days when most people are trying to turn back the clock. ⏳️

In case you haven't heard, Soundcloud is now training their user's works for AI now. This is actually a chance for NFTs to make a comeback, where they're legally still not allowed, especially if you mint it on @TeiaCommunity and declare it's rights. techcrunch.com/2025/05/09/s...

Our eventbrite for Tezcon is now out! We're expecting a lot of people to come this year so secure your tickets now! 😁 www.eventbrite.com/e/tezcon-202... #Tezos #Music #Art #Seattle #Web3 #crypto

We have our official poster for #Tezcon! mightymoss nailed it again. 😁 More info and lineup/program to come. It will be a showcase of both art and new blockchain-based features that are designed to protect artists rights and help them get paid! #Tezos #music #art #seattle

A month after I left LA, the fires burned down half the city. The incident was tragic, but my biggest worry was that the NIMBYs were going to double-down on their insanity, despite the emergency. Looks like I was right. Holy crap. 🤯 www.latimes.com/california/s... #LosAngeles

Politeness goes a long way when kicking someone's face in ☺️

I've been moving my long-form posts off of sites like these and minting them directly on-chain on #Tezos. It's been a while since I wrote about housing. But I still believe that even now, it's *still* the #1 reason for our domestic woes, today. A crash can't come any sooner. teia.art/objkt/867838

Making my popcorn salad thing again. Food needs innovation, too. 😋

Tezcon 2025 is coming along - we got a lot done today at our weekly meeting. What is Tezcon? Something like this, but 10x better this year. We got a great venue, sponsorships, and of course, music! We're all hyped. (June 28th, West Seattle at Kenyon Hall)😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBUF... #Tezos

#Tezos town hall, part 2. As long as people continue to show up, there will always be hope. 🙂

There is no method to the madness this time. Only madness. 😵‍💫

Well, I guess we now know what happens when you cut education funding and give tax breaks to corporations and the rich instead. Democracy in action!

Liquid lamp v2. Freshly made bottles look the best since they retain some of the bubbles. 😉 Will be on display/sale at #Tezcon Seattle this year, June 28th. #Tezos

Someone hacked the crosswalk system in #Seattle to say political messages. 😂 May be related to the new "Flipper" system that has been going around lately. Hacking - in a compact, user-friendly interface for hackers of all ages! www.geekwire.com/2025/seattle...

Change: Easiest -> Hardest Short-term - > Long-Term What You Do -> What You Think -> How You Feel

I'm a natural contrarian, so as things get more insane and pessimistic, expect to see more posts about positivity and optimism in the near future. 🙂

I see threads is experimenting with using the fediverse now. Meta has been pretty quiet lately but maybe they might be slowly shifting their approach in the background. 🤔

A few sneak peeks at @TeiaCommunity's new #copyright registration system about to go online this month. This is an easy way for artists to create licensing documentation for their artworks that legally cannot be scraped, nor bought out, because it isn't owned by anyone and is 100% open-source.

Financial meltdown got you all worried about the future? Well, forget all of that and come join the @teia_community for a good ol' fashioned (virtual) party! Music, art, cool hangouts. #Tezos #TeiaRave #NFTs #music #art

So the market going down 50% and then back up 50% is 100 -> 50 -> 75. You are still losing money. This is why you should never base your opinions on the headlines or media hype. #stocks

#Bainbridge has some very helpful signs posted around. 👍

Butttttteeerrrrrr #🧈 😋

Looking forward to what happens tomorrow. GN and GM. 😁

It's a nice day out in Seattle, and protestors are out in full force today. Nothing like a nice chicken pho to soothe an economic meltdown. 😋

Anyone who really believes in #crypto should look at this week's tariffs as good - this weakens both the USD and stock markets significantly and makes alternatives look more appealing. It's during these moments where you see the difference between the posers and believers. Diamond hands, folks. 💎 👊

It might not look like much, but I'm quite happy that #Tezos stayed relatively stable this week, despite the insane tariffs announcements going on right now. TradFi is losing their minds right now because what's happening is unprecedented. We just have to hang in there until things cycle back. 🙏

Huh, weird - #Warpcast sent me 5 bucks just for posting random stuff there. I mean, I don't know what I did but I ain't complaining. 😂
