Prediction: The best indie hacker companies in 2021 will be building tools and platforms to support the creator economy — the millions of people moving online to make a living from writing, videos, podcasting, teaching, etc.

7/ Millions of NFTs will be minted on Ethereum as creators realize the opportunity to sell anything of value on the Internet. The average value of individual NFTs will drop by tenfold in the process as talent floods the space.

my 2021 prediction for @egirl_capital was over $50M in NFT sales across platforms, and increasing usage of cryptoart for defi collateral and lending we're off to a great start

Sotheby's @Sothebys

@muratpak 🤔 We are intrigued...

KEVIN’S WEEKLY 😍: NFTX

NFTX [Gecko], a mechanism and marketplace to turn rare NFTs into shards, so it can have multiple owners.

Investors can buy “index funds” of different NFTs, the price discovery process gets better, and there’s even a sweet “buyout” feature where you can propose to purchase all outstanding shards from existing holders, to become the sole owner if you so desire.

Similar projects include Rally and Otis.

STEVEN’S WEEKLY 😍: Cryptoart Galleries

One of the first questions for any cryptoart collector is “how do I enjoy my cryptoart?”

Within virtual worlds like Cryptovoxels and Somnium:

Viewing your collection online is fragmented across the different NFT marketplaces. Collectors Hub consolidates across NFT platforms into a single online gallery:

Wanna enjoy your cryptoart in the real world?

You could rig up your own setup:

This weekend I added a speaker and got it playing music via Spotify. Also synced the Frames via Meural API. Still taking in 'Fusion', 'Extrusion' and 'Sense' by @muratpak and @trevorjonesart from @niftygateway. It's incredible to see this collection evolve before my eyes.

It’s early days, so the available options are pretty janky. When iPhone moment for cryptoart?
