(3/?) Rarible blew my mind. I had heard the term ‘NFT’ a few years prior in relation to a music release but still couldn’t wrap my head around it. Another good friend had mentioned the idea to me but I still couldn’t grasp it. We talked a bit longer and when he relayed the idea of NFT’s into my cards I felt like my mind had exploded. I voraciously started gathering up as much info as I could and I was super excited because I noticed that no one had capitalized on the idea in the creative world that I was working on (sneakers). I noticed this company RTFKT but I really didn’t feel like they had captured the essence of what it was we loved as sneakerheads… 
 
Anyway, I kicked my ass into gear and worked with @sonsofblackmaria and his brother on creating some sneaker card NFTs that tied directly to sneaker cards that I had just released. I listed them for USD on my Shopify site and we sold quite a few… and…what was really dope…was that I personally helped each and every person (who bought an NFT) set up their own Metamask and take ownership of their token. I really liked just talking with people and helping introduce them to this world. After about 30 or 40 had sold, I took a step back and started thinking…’I need to provide value for my customers’. Instead of just doing pictures and videos (of which there is absolutely NO shortage of), I needed to figure out a way for my customers to benefit in a more tangible way. So I pumped the brakes a bit and started messing around with other ideas. Maybe I needed to buy an NFT… 
 
One day, @franalations went live (or put a video on his story) about how he minted a Meebit or two. And I knew that Meebits were the new ‘crypto punks’ created by the same folks who created ‘crypto punks’ so I watched the video another 5 times and figured that I had to see what it was all about.  
 
I went on over to Opensea and my mind was blown…after several hours of searching, I bought my first Meebit. And then my second. And then a bid I had placed out on another came through and I kicked myself. I just spent 4 ETH on jpegs! I immediately regretted it. “What if my wife knew I just spent $6,000 on 3 jpegs?”
