Artist Spotlight: Tim Ferriss NFT Project Name and Artwork Reveal

If you're serious all the time, you'll burn out before you get any other really serious work done. You can do serious work without taking yourself and it too seriously, because if you do that, you just burn out. I have yet to see a single exception.

I don't think anybody should put money into speculative anything for any type of important output. It's just too risky ... If you want something safe, NFTs ain't it, folks.

I am so fucking serious about what I'm creating right now, but I am not in any way afraid of the mob in the sense that I am going to let all of my creative decisions be dictated by what the lowest common denominator of day traders wants. That make sense? I have zero interest in that.

Somebody asked me, 'If you can go long in web3 on anything, what would it be?' And I said, if I could go a long on new generation intellectual property lawyers, if there were a way to do that, I would do that, because this shit is so complicated. It is unbelievably complicated.

One of my governing principles for this entire thing... is once you get fancy, fancy gets broken. So, I've seen a lot of projects become so complex, especially around mechanics, that I think a lot of people opt out because it just looks like a grind to figure the shit out on any level.

People would be shocked by, relatively speaking, how little money comes out of, I guess, 5 books now that are number one New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers ... They would be shocked at what that actually translates to.

For people who would shelve their dreams of exploring art to take the reliable path because they see no way to make ends meet through art, I want to try to preserve options for them to do that. I think the world needs it. And for that reason, I really strongly believe in trying to protect royalties.

I've spent a lot of time with a bunch of people I respect recently, and almost all of them have been discovering and resurrecting joys of theirs later in life that were core to their enjoyment as a 12 or 13-year-old.

The win for me is continuing to play the game ... The game here is giving myself compelling excuses/reasons to engage with creative muscles that I have but I haven't exercised in a very long time.

How can I make this fun for me? ... When I'm not stoked about something, it is very hard for me to hide that.

New tech, always interesting to me, especially when there is some type of on-ramp/trojan horse that allows a lot of, let's just call them, not obviously early-tech candidates to become involved with early tech.
