Introducing Writing NFTs Before Ethereum was code, it was a piece of writing. ........... At Mirror, we believe the next big idea will be collected as a Writing NFT. ........ Mirror now allows you to mint your writing as a digital collectible and set a customizable supply and price for it. Writing NFTs are completely free for writers to create, and collection happens on an Ethereum L2 — making transactions inexpensive, fast, and environmentally friendly. And, like everything published on Mirror, Writing NFTs are decentralized and censorship-resistant. .......... Adding a Writing NFT to your collection is a way of capturing these special moments and rallying behind the potential of an idea. Imagine, for instance, having proof that you were one of the first 100 people to read the Ethereum whitepaper. It not only signals that you were an early adopter or superfan, but it also binds you with other collectors of that Writing NFT.



Co-ownership as a web3 social primitive A fundamental premise of web3 is ownership. But ownership isn’t just a technical or financial shift, it’s a shift in how we connect with one another. .........



Key learnings from DAOs DAOs have been one of my favorite spaces in crypto to spend time in. .......... There’s no perfect DAO structure and each one has its own culture so what works for one DAO won’t necessarily work for another.

Publishing on crypto Why is it that I can send anyone with an Internet connection and smart phone a photograph freely and instantly, but sending the same person money is hindered by seemingly arbitrary constraints, like geography or days of the week? ......... Sharing information is Internet-native—defined by interoperable protocols and file formats, encoded as bits that can be sent independently between any two nodes in the network. Sharing value, on the other hand, has relied on pre-Internet financial and monetary infrastructure that inherited all the political and technological limitations of those underlying systems. ......

Crypto's innovation is infusing value exchange with all the desirable attributes of a digitally-native information medium—programmability, interoperability, composability, virality, transferability.

.......... Crypto protocols therefore blur the line between information and value. They encode value as information, and, consequently, information as value. Crypto turns media into financial assets, and as well as financial assets into media. ........ With crypto, sending five dollars to a relative across the globe is finally as easy as sending them a family photo.
