- HNY everyone!
2024 and Lens to me is about finding the unfamiliar again and truly building generational tech and products. Copying what’s come before is the safer and easier choice but doesn’t create the same groundbreaking impact.
I reflect a lot on TikTok, when I joined I knew ByteDance had built something innovative in Asia, but it’s future in the west in wasn’t so clear. My friends thought I was crazy leaving my current situation and didn’t understand what it could become. To everyone now it’s obvious, but back then it wasn’t and disregarded by many before it’s hockey stick growth and inflection point.
Being able to now say I was part of a generational global product now is something I’m very proud of. I’ll never forget being allocated the same desk in NYC WeWork with 12 desks as Zhang Yiming on my first day who was in town and graciously told me to keep it. Or early days having the opportunity to be in meetings with Alex Zhu whose philosophy about social apps as countries and co creation as a social fabric still resonates today and blue print for social builders. Even I didn’t realize it at the time how lucky I was, but I hold these moments today.
It’s why in jumped into web3 finally after many years of being on the surface personally. I had conviction after my bet on ByteDance played out and excited to embark on another.
Next goal is being able to say I was part of infrastructure backbone making possible the next wave of innovative consumer products.
While the power of @lens/lensprotocol may be invisible to most, if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s that game changing tech more than often comes from what not everyone sees.
It’s never what’s familiar and expected to all. That’s why it’s disruptive.
2024 let’s rock.

- Guitar Player by Alex Maksiov for Big Walls Big Dreams 2022 in Houston, Texas, USA.
In the heart of Houston, Texas, a staircase has been transformed into a stage for a silent musician. Alex Maksiov, for Big Walls Big Dreams 2022, presents a lifelike mural of a guitarist lost in the strings of his melody. As commuters rush by, they’re briefly part of a concert where the music is felt, not heard. The guitar case lies open, a metaphor for dreams waiting to be filled.

- `getting started` with #lens in 5 steps 🪴 [August 2023 update]
(0 a) maybe consider adding some information about yourself and a pfp to your profile before you start.
(0 b) "hello world" posts get quite some attention ... 😉 . (if you can post something related to what you are interested in ... 🎇 -> People you start following might take a look at your profile and follow if they are interested in the content you share.) Find one great example at the end of the post.
(1) https://lists.inlens.xyz/lists/818891525288558593 - list of great profiles to start your lens journey ... you will discover a ton, worth following profiles in the communities of people in this list. lists.inlens.xyz/ in general is a great starting point.
(2) find your twitter contacts on lens: inlens.xyz/ * (not everyone with a lens profile, active on twitter, is very active on lens (yet ;-)). Maybe consider connecting with new people, sharing interesting content on lens.)
(3) probably you read this post on @lenster.lens . If you are interested in lens mobile apps, @orbapp.lens and @buttrfly.lens are at the moment - imo - the most advanced general purpose lens mobile apps. One of the beautiful things regarding lens is that it doesn't matter which lens app you use, every lens app has access to the same content and social graph.
(4) what you share on lens is stored and publicly available for a very long time. Probably forever. You can hide posts, comments and mirrors. But that's a front-end feature, the data is still available and publicly accessible.
(5) "collects" are a very powerful concept, adding a NFT version of the post to your address (4th symbol below a post on @lenster.lens ). Collects can be monetised -> creators can use collect fees to earn money on lens.
one more thing :-) being active, commenting on posts and topics you are interested in goes a long way. Of course there is a chance that your posts will be discovered, commented and mirrored, but you increase the probability of being discovered dramatically with valuable comments. @jeanmi.lens : "be yourself, try to engage with people, sharing images seems to accelerate engagement/growth, people love to 'GM'"
It is quite challenging to get attention, especially for new profiles. A few approaches to get more visibility:
**[1]** @animators.lens started on lens drawing lens PFPs https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0108fb-0x75 . Imo still one of the best (high quality) growth hacks I’ve seen on lens yet (0 to 100 followers). Maybe you can think of something inspired by @animators.lens ’ idea based on your talent and skills.
**[2]** consider joining communities on @diversehq.lens (e.g. you can post directly to the @mixtape.lens feed, be active in the #lensfit community or join c/food) and/or communities on @orbapp.lens .
**[3]** consider contributing content to the weekly @thisweekon.lens highlight series ( https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01d898-0x04 ) or other content threads. (Keep an eye on @ryanfox.lens ;-).)
**[4]** consider participating in campaigns / events on lens or create an event (maybe check out #OPENLENS for reference). (If you plan to create something please feel free to reach out 🤍)
**[5]** consider joining lens spaces on @buttrfly.lens .
**[6]** @ profiles you think your content is relevant for or you would like to get input from. Pls be selective and not spammy.
`cover artists of the month`
**TYSM** @eastie.lens for creating this beautiful getting started cover 🤍🙏.
Collect is the #lens super power. The “getting started” post is a 333 limited edition (0.3 WMATIC with 50% mirror fee share, the collect fee goes 100% to the artists.)
What does it mean? You can collect one of 333 available NFTs of @eastie.lens ‘ awesome artwork (and this post :-)). If you mirror the post and the post will be collected via your mirror, you will get 0.15 WMATIC. The revenue generated from the collect fee will go directly to the artists’ address.
Is there any utility? Everyone who collects this post can suggest and vote on the next “getting started” cover artist.

@buttrfly.lens 1.9%
@lenstubelogs.lens 1.0%
@chainjet.lens 0.9%
If you are interested in content distribution and increasing your reach on lens, maybe the following post is a good starting point: https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x017566-0xdf (e.g. @bvdaniel.lens combined his introduction post with an eye catching visual (only follower can collect) and an incentivised mirror (+100 followers ). 120+ collects, 80+ mirrors, 40+ comments ...)
@luduvigo.lens wrote two great posts “How to grow on Lens ...” https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x02a5 https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0132-0x036d and maybe take a look what he did with the content in the following days. 👀

- **Grayscale** has just won their lawsuit against the SEC.
The U.S. might just get its FIRST spot #Bitcoin ETF after a historic court ruling.
The Grayscale #Bitcoin Trust had been trading at a discount to its underlying asset since February 2021, with the discount reaching a record 50% in December after the SEC's rejection.
However, the discount narrowed to around 25% as optimism grew following applications for bitcoin spot ETFs.
In summary, a federal appeals court's ruling mandates the SEC to review its rejection of #Grayscale's attempt to convert GBTC into an ETF, potentially impacting the #crypto market and paving the way for the first spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S.22375,280
