    Feels like two paths are emerging in NFT space. (1) Build a universe but hold onto IP. Ex: @larvalabs deal with UTA (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ ...) (2) Form a community to build a universe. Give all the IP away. See what happens. Ex: @lootproject Personally like approach…

    I'm excited to announce https://lootloose.com/. LootLoose lets you unbundle your @lootproject bags into individual ERC1155 NFTs or rebundle them into their original Loot bags. @_anishagnihotri built the frontend, and I did the smart contracts. ⬇️Thread 1/10.

    Even with $46 million in sales in under a week, it remains to be seen if Vine co-founder @dhof's “Loot (for Adventurers)” is here to stay or a flash in the NFT pan. @Blockanalia reports https://www.coindesk.com/...

    @Stammy ... Loot is NFT improv. It is an invitation to respond with, “Yes, and...”

    @MacaesBruno I think the @lootproject philosophy has it right: pretty much anything that anyone creates “exists”, what matters is to what extent other people build upon it.

    NFTs are the closest individuals and corporations will ever come to printing money without counterfeiting dollars. This even beats the rigmarole of ICOs where one had to make up some plausible rationale or baseline of value. It's just JPEG to money printer goes brrrrr. https://tw…

    From the creator of “6 second video social media”, comes “text-based NFT adventures”. Great piece by @Blockanalia https://www.coindesk.com/...

    Introducing Name, a @lootproject derivative NFT. How can any adventurer journey without a name? Now you're covered: any loot holder can claim a Name NFT for free that includes a randomly generated name. https://etherscan.io/...

    Stats for Strikers mentioned in the bottom of the latest @CoinDesk article. Who will be the first to try and build on top of this? https://www.coindesk.com/...
