33:00 3AC NFT Fund
Excited to be working together with @zhusu and @kyled116 from 3AC to launch @StarryNight_Cap, a NFT fund.
Our thesis is simple, we believe the best way to gain exposure to the cultural paradigm shift being ushered in by NFTs is owning the top pieces from the most desired sets.

“It might be early proof that maybe everyone doesn't [need] a bank & just has an ETH address & a wallet."
The next generation is bankless

Thats what #Ethereum is forhttps://t.co/Qr6xxLw4CR pic.twitter.com/3XbLrSd213

1:25:20 Diamonds vs. Jpegs
Carrying a rock around your finger is no less absurd than buying a rock jpeg on the internet.
If you can't appreciate the absurdity in ALL human rituals, you'd be a slave to past rituals, not a creator of future ones.
