Machi Big Brother
NFT collector and crypto project founder
Firsthand proposals about rewarding social-network users and turning an NFT collection into a community project.
Why read Machi Big Brother?
Machi's written Digital Art Movement interview is a useful entry into the connection between NFT collecting, identity and collective ownership. He explains why he wanted ApeCoin DAO to assemble a collection, put digital art in galleries and distribute a governance token through time-locked participation. You can see how a collector turns a cultural argument into a proposal for a community.
His signed foreword to the Mithril whitepaper addresses a related question from another angle: how people who contribute to social networks could receive part of the value they create. Read the foreword and the paper's social-mining example together to understand the proposed reward mechanism and the user behavior it was intended to encourage.
