Great piece! I still don't know what to do, if anything, with crypto

Yes, it's a bit of a chaotic thing right now. Quite reminiscent of the early days of the web. Pirates, criminals and loads of very good people. Crypto is also not really a term that covers it all. At the moment, I'm exploring how it can be an income stream for a poet. The jury is still out on that one, but the community is amazing and helpful.

If you look beyond the crypto (finance) news, such as that FTX fraud we saw last year, there are many things evolving that can be helpful. One example: if you mint a poem as an NFT, it is forever clear that you are the one who created it.

If you are really interested, try the web3 academy newsletter and podcast. Or the Twitter space by Katie Dozier and Timothy Green.

The web3 academy newsletter is here: https://w3academy.io/. They are a bit deep down in it, but they often talk about interesting examples of what can be done with blockchain technology.

And the Twitter space by Katie and Timothy can be found via this tweet:

It's really a bridge between the traditional poetry world and poetry nfts.

Sure. Of course.

How do you envision that?

I think, as a primer, this is a good place to start: https://30daysofnfts.com/
