I just lost 400 followers on X after subscribing to the Premium... a coincidence? Hard to believe...

Gift season is near: how solid would you consider the Coinbase Smart Wallet? Is it the best choice? No support for Tezos is a great disadvantage but still it's the best option to onboard family and friends. FeralFile used to be my first choice but now I may reconsider that. Thoughts? I want to gift art!!! 😇
Shrimps, ink on paper, 32 x 31.8 cm. Qi Baishi, no date. Sold at Sotheby's above the estimation, for approx. $60k.
Not the most comprehensive, but I tried my best to explain the key differences between ordinals and stamps without any bias: https://x.com/lukefivehundred/status/1861375460564726019 .They are both great ways to secure your art on bitcoin and both, ordinals especially, rely on bitcoin nodes... hence the importance of running one! :)
This is not fun! WTF
I find it romantic... to think that, without the early pioneers (late 1950s), we wouldn't have a bunch of colourful pixel to stare at right now.
