Man @HenryChatfield asks the best questions! Let’s attack each question in a 🧵maybe? twitter.com/HenryChatfield/status/1504925441185890304
What do I need more of as a musician in web3?
Tools to create unique experiences for my collectors. As one of the biggest utility buffs in my peer group — I think not only is it hard for me to create interesting utility because I gotta use a hodgepodge of tools to execute
Even just to bring utility for $SHRP to life I had to use PartyBid + Fractional + Snapshot just to do that!
If I wanted to reward them social tokens I have Coinvise and gotta use that. Then collabland in discord. Then mintgate for gated websites.
Even if I end up executing all of that — it doesn’t guarantee the collectors use it all because it’s confusing for them.
Idk if it’s because they aren’t ACTUALLY interested in experience or what but yeah…
What are the hard parts & pain points for me?
For me personally, it’s hard to build a community while simultaneously trying to join and be active in a lot of them. I personally am prioritizing building these next few months, but…
…one thing I’ve found is that artists don’t get treated like founders of projects, namely pfp vibes, who actually have no obligation to do anything other than grow their project/community.
I think this is more of a “hard part” than a “pain point”
If anything about being a musician in NFTs causes me pain, it’s that good music actually has less value than it should. Music being really fire has no value because of that. I know I’m web2 there are also many factors that play into the perception of “good”
…like cultural impact and timing and individuality and of course “good” is subjective but it’s still kinda crazy how the thing we use to quantify how good we are in web3, ETH sales, doesn’t always balance out in the end.
If I could have a larger team, what would that role look like and what would they do with me?
My larger team would focus more on project and time management than creative. I like tot hunk of myself as a creative director more than a musician, so I really need support in that.
I remember Hiroshi Fujiwara from Fragment Design saying he has no idea how much he gets paid for his projects and his accountant just drops the money in the account and…I wouldn’t quite mind that either, but NFTs are too focused on sales numbers for me to now know the figures.
That…might be it for this trio of questions. This is an interesting thought exercise. My brain was definitely working to answer these
