The Exponential Censorship Resistance is migrating to Algorand after a flirt with Solana.

I’ll do my best to keep this simple and concise, for the broad audience I aim to engage with this announcement. Martin Geddes and I have launched the 11:11 For Change NFT Collection to Make Censorship History. You can view Martin's original announcement here.

Our first goal in the mission to Make Censorship History is to bring Martin’s iconic and best-selling, Amazon-censored book out of the black hole of censorship, and back into the lime-light — where it belongs — to engage, delight, inspire, and enlighten readers everywhere, welcoming them to a greater innerstanding of the Great Awakening. We’re setting out to make it a ‘Million Buck Book’ with this NFT Collection.

What is our voice worth? What is freedom of speech worth? What is authenticity worth? What is the TRUTH worth? What is the industry that supports it worth? $1 Million is the first major milestone on a pathway to accelerating a multi-billion dollar industry to Make Censorship History. We will do whatever it takes.

For the truth to WIN, we need freedom lovers owning Billion-dollar business’ and decentralizing them. The ‘New Amazon’ must be DECENTRALIZED. It’s a process, and I expect it will take some time. But that revolution is already underway — best not to be in bed with the incumbents when their house of cards collapses.

As creators, we  have a need to create revenue opportunity for ourselves that will enable our work, and expand our creativity to reach new heights — where it belongs.  We can no longer rely on the centralized powers. We must build anew. And fortunately — as creators, we have a new way of distributing our work on the rails of the new financial system. Thanks to Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Art is now a liquid store of value, similar to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Algorand, and other cryptocurrencies. This is the digital art revolution, WELCOME! 

The whole of the Cryptocurrency industry at the current moment, calculated by coinmarketcap is 2.64 Trillion Dollars. This is exhibit A of the new financial system. These are our new digital stores of value outside of centralized banks. This industry looks poised to rise to well over $10 Trillion within a decade — Maybe more like $100 Trillion. But will we even be counting in USD by then? Personally, I doubt it. We're quickly moving towards sovereign digital money backed by sound math, near instant finality, and limited supply.

Bitcoin pioneered 'digital gold'. Ethereum blazed the trail for ‘smart contracts’ and has been a host to a large part of the first phase of the digital art revolution through NFTs. However, the cost of transactions on ETH are a MAJOR turn-off for us. I can’t feel great inviting new digital art collectors into an environment with such egregiously heavy fees.  In short, Ethereum NFTs do not feel like the future to me.

Solana and Algorand

Having created a company called Sol Forms back in March 2019, it became clear that I needed to consider using the Solana blockchain, which marched its way into the top 10 blockchains during the summer of 2021. Not only did it feel like a ‘brand fit’, but a lot of projects on Solana look really great, including the Phantom wallet, which I still feel is one of the best designed web 3 wallets in crypto. However, technical troubles routed us quickly off Solana after I was totally unable to mint the third 11:11 for Change NFT on Solsea for 3 days and counting. The fact that Solana recently got switched off for the better part of a day — A lot like Facebook, is not what you want to see when the goal is ‘decentralization’. Before encountering consistent errors minting NFTs on Solsea, we were delighted to sell our first 11:11 for change NFT — ‘Badge of Honor’, for 4 Sol 🙏🙏🙏. Therefore, this initial buyer will receive a new NFT, issued on Algorand, in addition to the original asset purchased on Solana.

I had been consistently using, selling, and enjoying the AB2 Gallery NFT platform on Algorand already… so it felt right to come back to Creating digital art on Algo — IT JUST WORKS. Algorand has consistently been VERY fast and nearly free to transact on. Also… full disclosure — I AM an Algorand Governor, which means I earn high-yield rewards for participating in governance decisions on Algorand.

Those who have tested the Algorand NFT and DeFi waters find much to love — fast, reliable, very inexpensive transactions. The company has a great team and a great story. Silvio Micali is a likeable genius with the right connections. Has the Algorand team truly solved the blockchain Trilemma of decentralization, security, and scalability?  It certainly looks like a distinct possibility.

From the best I can tell, the “Future of Finance” is poised to happen in large-part on the backbone of the Algorand Blockchain. I believe Algorand will eventually overtake Ethereum as the leading level-one blockchain. This makes it a highly undervalued gem, which spells big opportunity for those paying attention. As the blockchain that is known not to “fork”, it feels like the right home for art and digital collectibles that are designed to be 1111% unique and authentic.

With the number #01 of 11 sold, #02 Motion For Change is available for the next collector to launch us into EXPONENTIAL Censorship Resistance. Who will push our 'Motion for Change' into the exponential realms???

Let’s Make Censorship History!
⚡️⚡️⚡️💫💫💫❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
