There’s so many different NFT projects and so much going on in web3 that my goal with this web page and video series is to help let everyone know what’s going on! I was actually funded to create this very content! Oh yes, a Prop.House proposal got me 1 ETH (about $1,500 at the time) to work on these videos, write this text, and support the brand, VesselVerse. Now, you might be like, “whoa, why did he even say funded? What’s going on?”

Obviously, I want you to watch the videos below, but I’ll tell you the TLDR version is this: VesselVerse is a website where you can learn a little bit about this unique place to hang out online, centered around a love of art, basketball, and life.

In the video below, I go into much more detail, but know this: VesselVerse is the brainchild of Victor Solomon, a very successful artist and entrepreneur that has relationships with the NBA, BMW, Kith, Hennessy, and more. Victor was inspired by what was going on in Nouns, and built his own “fork” of that project.

Each Vessel is an NFT that doubles both as epic art and a governance token, meaning a single vote in the operations of the treasury. That’s right, all of the money generated by the auctions goes directly into a treasury. That’s how I got monies to make this content!

But it isn’t just about monies for voting, other things can be accomplished too, like the overall direction of the project, who works on things, and more. Right now, this is a small, growing community. So at the very base, vessel verse is a growing community. With you involved, who knows where it can go!

The big question. There’s so many different NFT projects, tons of discords, and so many things to think about when you’re contemplating spending your hard-earned money on any NFT, let alone one that has smaller volume or is lesser known. Because of that, I want to break down everything into the simplest terms regarding the tmain value. Networking.

I’m a small business owner. So, relationships matter. It’s all about the people. VesselVerse is a fantastic place to meet a mixture of web3/NFT enthusiasts, sports fans, and individuals focused on building something. I like to think of the actual Vessel NFTs as membership passes that can be stacked for more access. Having none gets you into the Discord to learn. Having just one allows another level of access, and having 12 puts you in a room with some amazing humans.

Personally, I’ve made business relationships and personal relationships from my time in web3 and NFTland. I’ll always look back fondly on it, regardless of the price of these tokens or the overall sentiment outside of these comfy Discord chats. The truth is, real things are happening in real life. Victor, for example, was funded to rebrand and revitalize a public basketball court and the media coverage around it will be amazing for helping people understand what is possible with NFTs. Most just think it is about making money or they’ve heard about it from poor sources and think nothing but scams exist. 

I’m here to tell you that simply isn’t true. While there are negative things that happen, such as the FTX collapse, there are also amazing aspects of this crazy digital space where food is being provided to the hungry, kids are getting education paid for, and people are coming together globally around some amazing ideas. 

If you want to talk further about it, hit me up on Twitter. There’s so much to learn and I hope this page and these videos helped in some small way. 

To sum it up in one word again… Networking. 

What could you do if you were in “the room where it happens?”
