And what incredible stories we could tell. From just a few months of articles, we’ve captured insight into whole new collaborative artistic tools like DADA, new digital marketplaces like SuperRare and KnownOrigin, industry-changing tokenized registries including Codexand Maecenas, a whole new asset class of non-fungible tokens, and the millions the Steem blockchain has funded to aspiring creators that struggled endlessly on YouTube and Tumblr. We believe these stories are what legitimize the space and build trust for the crypto curious all around us. And thus far, these stories have been trapped behind conference doors and underneath piles of digital articles and whitepapers.
We’re now excited to announce our first ambition to ground those stories and create a physical token that entwines all this diverse value. Introducing the first - IMO.
Publications have historically been collectibles in themselves, technically scarce and stocked with unique creative work - writing, art, comics and cartoons, and plenty of personal interpretation of the world. Unfortunately, with the flood of global access and boundless nature of digital distribution, we don’t consider them to have much lasting value anymore past subscription fees.
We have an opportunity now to reinvigorate that tradition. We’ll create unique volumes that are tokenized on a blockchain. We’ll fill those tokens with scarce artwork, both physical and digital. We’ll have special bonus content and easter egg prizes only unlockable with certain procedures. We’ll make it so that any given consumer isn’t just reading up on blockchain, but also interacting with blockchain itself with every page turn.
So over the next several months, we’ll be pursuing this goal with completely brand new content, interviews, artwork, thought pieces, and discussions, all through our partnerships of projects across blockchains. There’s a lot of ground to cover, a foundation that is also constantly in flux with new projects materializing all the time, and we’re excited to bring all of that together for the global crypto curious audience.
We’re proud to have used fundition during the campaign for The Crypto Renaissance in New York City and now again for IMO. Big thanks to the team for their ongoing enthusiasm and support!
