- hi everyone, have been posting some essays over on twitter and thought it'd be fun to post some essays here. in anticipation of doing a lot of writing about art, i thought it'd be fun to talk about why that's important. enjoy!!
**On Writing About Art**
How should artists talk about their work, and should they even talk at all? This is a question facing the world of art at the moment. As I embark on the mission of writing about my art, it is also one that weighs heavy on my mind. A wise person once said that it’s important for artists to know how to talk about their art properly, which includes discussing the references and inspirations that went into a specific piece. I tend to agree, but let us discuss the situation in more depth.
One camp would say that the art should speak for itself. Factoring in ideas such as memetics and the fast-twitch muscles one uses scrolling through social media, they argue that art that requires an explanation to be understood fails at the missive directed by the conditions of 21st century society. Simply put, tldr next.
There is some truth to this line of thought. In the traditional art world, it’s become fashionable to have the thesis encompass the art. In this case, the aesthetics of a piece matter very little, if at all. Sometimes there is no physical art piece and it is just the thesis. I think this approach to art-making is stupid and defeats the point. God gave us eyes and ears to interact with art, and mouths to say “Jesus Christ this sucks.”
While I remain open to the idea that the thesis isn’t the most important part of a work, some would take this theory further to suggest that the art doesn’t even matter: In this space, the percentage return on a collection happens first and the narratives around what the art is and what it means come afterwards. This means that if a green candle doesn’t accompany your collection release, then the piece fails to gain significance in the space. If one is to approach the crypto-specific medium of digital art, this green candle then indicates a piece’s idiomatic success within the medium.
Without cynicism, I believe all these things are true. I think having the thesis hold up aesthetic weakness in your work is wrong and that one should provide a pop facade with which their audience engages with. Additionally, I think understanding how one can potentially manufacture “green candle situations” goes hand and hand with art-making, both here and in the wider world. However, I still believe the thesis should exist.
The first reason is that narratives tend to follow green candles. If there’s no writing or insight accompanying your work, then people will just invent things. While this could be a fun experiment with interesting results, most artists would like some degree of control over the public’s understanding of what a piece is and why they made it. Yeah, people will make shit up even in the presence of an existing narrative, but making information around your work widely available increases the likelihood that some threadoors propagate your narrative.
Additionally, depth brings passion. While some people may initially come in contact with your work by way of green candling or pop facade enjoyment, if they really like a piece they might want to learn more about it. In this case, providing information turns a like into a passion and can turn casual collectors into diehard fans. We like diehard fans because they stick around after the froth subsides.
Therefore, one could make the argument that while theses can be extremely dumb, providing some level of deeper engagement with the work benefits the artist in multiple ways. This means the wise person is correct (in my opinion): It is important for artists of the 21st century to be able to think deeply about their inspirations and references and communicate those thoughts to an audience.
In preparing for my next collection, I spent a good time researching my material and focusing on how I structured my internal narratives around the art. At times I worried about putting the thesis before the horse (the art) and whether any of this labor even mattered. I debated about writing about the collection with the fear that doing so would make me look desperate or like I was attempting to cover up my failures of aesthetic realization.
In reconciling these fears, I thought of a debate I had had with my favorite music history professor over program notes at concerts. I argued that program notes served no purpose, and if the audience member didn’t connect with a piece then they were stupid or the piece was bad. His argument was that program notes allowed people new to the experience of enjoying music an entry into understanding. Additionally, program notes could provide depth and context to a specific concert experience that would enrich the performance. After many years, I see the wisdom in what he said.
This is all to say, I create to ignite passion, not passiveness. Therefore, I will continue to write about my art and plant narratives for future green candles to water. Hopefully someday they’ll turn into crops I can eat.
thanks for reading, chat soon :)

Looking into some stuff 👀
-
- Why the eth skyrocketed today
- Part of the reason there’s so much disagreement regarding where we are cyclically is because returns have been so unevenly distributed
Additionally, a lot of previous cycle signposts have been absent and/or entirely invalid
1\. The conventional ‘risk curve’ trade of BTC —> ETH —> large caps —> mid caps —> shitters has been unprofitable. Barbell portfolio of BTC + memes has dominated.
2\. ETH/BTC has been remarkably weak, whereas historically it has benefitted from a risk on environment. This has also spilled over into ETH L1+L2 proxy trades being suboptimal. ‘Crypto as a casino’ thesis has been captured by memecoins on SOL (vs previous cycle’s casino was NFTs on ETH).
3\. Memecoins have been consistently leading and rotating from that sector has been costly, whereas memes pumping has historically been an indicator of being late in the cycle.
4\. BTC hasn’t offered a series of previously ‘standard’ bull market pullbacks of 30-40%. This has created a bunch of early sellers/sidelined traders. Also led to proliferation of left-truncated cycle discourse, shorter cycle, super cycle, and other heterodox variants.
5\. There are so many new tokens (amplified by memecoins) that “crypto bull market” no longer means “everything that’s listed goes up for weeks/months” - the rising tide has not lifted all boats and there are very clear winners vs losers (and they’ve broadly stayed the same, no massive rotations e.g. ETH eco/L1+L2 trade been weak relative to SOL for ages, with exceptions).
Taking all this into account, it’s entirely plausible that you have Trader A who rode BTC, SOL, and memes and feels like stuff is hot and needs to cool off, whereas Trader B has barely made any money and feels like stuff hasn’t even picked up yet, and everything in between.
We all have different portfolios, trading styles, time horizons, risk appetite, volatility tolerance, and a bunch of other stuff.
Most of crypto Twitter thinks crypto will go up and to the right over time, we just disagree about the fine print.
Be kind, chill out 🫡
- “What do you do?”
“I’m a professional cryptocurrency trader.”
“What do you think of the market?”
“A cartoon duck is bearish memes and flipped his profile pic upside down, which he famously did in 2018 when he crushed the bear market. But Ansem, future Mayor of New York City, is fervently disagreeing. We’re running out of GCR permutations based on ethnicity so now we’ve called the cartoon Duck ‘Gay GCR’, named after the bird dude who has one of the best public track records and long-term predictions. Most people seem to think the cartoon duck is washed and are dunking on his takes based on meme outperformance relative to other sectors, but the confidence of the reply guys is worrying some traders as the very idea of the meme cycle topping is a prima facie non-starter for them. The WIF 1-second chart is a war zone. Also, Raoul Pal just came up with his fifteenth version of some macro liquidity thing called the banana zone and Huss is using the Saudi sovereign wealth fund to long ETH. So the market is trying to price upside down cartoon duck and militant reply guys versus memecoin strength, Ansem, and the banana zone.”
- Important TA rules:
1\. Thicker lines = thicker bids/asks at your level.
2\. If your line is broken, just redraw it slightly higher or lower. The market can't stop you.
3\. If there's a candle close that makes your position look bad, change time frames to one that hasn't closed.

- As founder, you have to be both foolish enough to believe your wild idea, but wise enough to know when it’s time to pivot.
Pivoting, and rebuilding, is a GOOD thing.
