First time I'm doing an interview with an translator - talking about TEIA in Spanish and a little bit of Portuguese, too. But got to talk a bit about crypto, art and how NFTs function in what's known as "the global south" in the West. youtu.be/awkbOFld1d4

Tezcon Seattle 2026 - 07/11/26 at the Hiawatha Artists Lofts! We're starting promos early this year so mark it in your calendars! New logo by @normalistoxic! (Erika) www.meetup.com/tezos-seattl... #Tezos #Seattle #art #music #creative

I have a feeling that in an age where AI generated content will be everywhere, typoglycemia will be the tool humans use to send "encoded" messages outside the detection of the robots. Kind of a weird twist on cryptography and algorithms, ain't it? #typoglycemia

Thinking Itself is Dangerous teia.art/objkt/879161 (Yes I'm moving all my work, including my writings, into the blockchain, where it might actually still be around in a few years.)

My goal is to be successful, not famous. The ones who can't tell the difference between the two are usually the dumbest ones in the room, FYI.

Governance is How Crypto "Grows Up" teia.art/objkt/879101 Less complaining, more involvement - how anything gets done, ever, anywhere. 💪 #Tezos @teia.bsky.social

Our theme for Tezcon this year is "Beyond Enshittification" now - what comes *after* everything falling apart? I imagine something like: 🌱 💩 @doctorow.pluralistic.net www.meetup.com/tezos-seattl...

This is - unfortunately - the great cultural debate of our generation: Mistakes of the Past vs Mistakes of the Future #art

Did you know you can grow green onions with just water? Super easy and they grow back very quickly. Makes for a good house plant, too. 🪴

History is often poetic because as long as it's people running things, that's what it will always ever be.

The AI trend of anthropomorphizing pets reveals something: the unfulfilled wish for children, which many have already given up on. 😢

@teia.bsky.social is happy to announce we have received a grant from the @tezosfoundation.bsky.social to put on events (IRL and virtual) around the globe to all TEIA members - we will be announcing the launch of our grants program as of today. ✌️ teia.art/donate

Of all people, never expected Tucker Carlson to be the one who might save American journalism.

There's a trend happening now where people are turning their pets into humans using AI. The results are...well, judge for yourself. 😅

Popular opinion: I'm not sure about this whole "America" thing, guys 🤔 (and gals, and everything in between)

During my livestreams I've been putting the teia.cafe radio on random and see where it takes me. Still finding some gems I never heard before, even though I've been listening to it for years now. teia.art/ryangtanaka/... @teia.bsky.social #Tezos

#Tezos always does "well" during downturns. This week it does it once again. Right now there's a lot of see-sawing going on but the economy is going to reach a point where everything is, including the cost of living. It's a race to see what survives, relative to each other.

This "interpretation" of American politics from the Japanese side has been going around, but it was from a while ago and a little bit outdated. I had AI do an "update". 😂 #Japan #Politics

Someone explain it to me like I'm five. Explain what? The world, I guess. 👶

How AI Collapses the Dollar (In 6 Steps) 1. AI eliminates jobs. 2. Stock market crashes. 3. Real-estate market crashes. 4. Credit market collapses, then banks. teia.art/objkt/878566

I've been a long-time tea drinker but been trying to switch things up by drinking coffee this week. The #coffee is telling me I should invent a time machine and solve all problems by later tonight. Should I listen to it? ☕

"The crypto/NFT hype that happened a few years ago was, in part, fueled by the desires of some who wanted to partake in 'forever' - had it actually worked." The One (And Possibly Only) Way Crypto/NFTs Makes a Comeback teia.art/objkt/878536/ #Tezos #NFTs #Crypto #Web3 #LifeHacks #antiaging

Ragebaiting - Threads vs X Some discussions we were having with the Tezos folks earlier today. Trying out Substack's auto-highlighting feature for livestreams. Not bad, honestly. #threads #twitter #socialmedia

Ahh, good thing I saw that he was moving over from Twitter. We're still doing this thing in Seattle in July Things are falling apart over there, too. We may have to consider migrating as some point as well. 😬 www.meetup.com/tezos-seattl... #Seattle #Enshittification

William Gibson is one of history's most quotable sf writers: "The future is here, it's not evenly distributed"; "Don't let the little fuckers generation-gap you"; "Cyberspace is everting"; and the immortal: "The street finds its own uses for things": en.wikiquote.org/wiki/William... 1/

Global economics and geopolitics, explained like you're 5. No wait, I asked a 5 year old to explain it instead. The kid seems pretty sharp! 🤓 youtu.be/WuXDFNEHUKY #Iran

Someone told me it ain't snowing in Seattle this year. Guess they were wrong. 😂

All is well with the world. 😇 Well, not really. Maybe just me. 🤔

We are currently testing a fully on-chain (no logins, no databases) messaging system on @teia.bsky.social right now and could use some feedback. Doing things the "proper way" looks something like this - no wonder most places cut corners on this stuff, eh? 😵‍💫 #Tezos #Web3 #NFTs #Crypto #Music #Art

I got bored and started playing my keyboard while on a voice call with some of my colleagues here. I hope they don't mind. 😂 youtu.be/uRpE-FbVpoY #Tezos #Music

#Tezos folks - @joesimon.bsky.social has been hard at work for building @teia.bsky.social's on-chain messaging system. Fully on-chain, censorship/misinformation resistant, no databases/gatekeepers - fully decentralized and communicates directly wallet to wallet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezfe...

As that once famous person (whos name escapes me) once said, it's amazing what you can accomplish when you don't care who gets the credit.

Did my usual market analysis in video form on @tradingwiev.bsky.social today. I used to do a lot of these a few years ago and even got Editor's Pick a few times. www.tradingview.com/chart/XTZUSD... #Tezos #gold #silver #oil #uranium

Be fearful when people are greedy, be greedy when people are fearful, as they say. Now is the best time to make big moves, and I am not even joking. 😉

🧵 NFTs - The Solution to All of Your Problems https://teia.art/objkt/878113/ So we're now living in a time where half the users on social media sites are bots, and most of the content you see online are either misinformation or AI-generated and you have *no idea* whether what you're seeing is real

My safe space is #Japan where a minister holds a press conference apologizing for being 5 minutes late to a meeting.

Boggles the mind how she figured all this out before reaching 18. 🤯 Art is the same way. Notice that even this emoji has two faces - one laughing, one crying. Meaning is found in expression, not "happiness". (Which doesn't even mean anything, if you think about it.) #🎭 #alysaliu

🧵 Throughout history, there were always weird things going on in the background of art and cultural movements - and the art we see today (or the lack thereof) is not an exception. #NFTs #crypto #Web3

I mean, if people like Eric Andre and Alysa Liu can become celebrities, all you weirdos out there have no excuse. 😂

There's one thing doing good in the markets right now. Can you guess what it is?

🧵 In the past, music composers would "embed" certain ideas into their musical works by leveraging music theory and creating "codes" within them.

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. 🔜
