I constantly forget that TIPPING has been a feature on X / CT since September 2021, long before the rebrand but it’s just…

…NOT PART OF THE CULTURE.

Yeah, the hexagon, right ? 

Nice pointing that out.

That was cool. Almost felt like you needed a socalled ‘blue chip’ to wanna use it but still cool. 

Instagram also had a digital collectibles feature that seemed like a really-really good way to get normies ‘comfortable with NFTs and crypto.

Oh… that’s right. If Im not mistaken, your @farcaster pfp had to be an NFT at first. I vaguely remember minting my logo for that reason. https://opensea.io/0xdc3529ae55d013ecb89d1a17b03a0949348ffbce?searchQuery=Logo

The ig ‘digital collectibles’ allowed posting via connected (eth) wallet and the image had a cool 3D trading card / lighting effect.

I thought it was cool. My entire meta account was wiped cause I never kyc’d. Whatevz.

yes, i recall being asked to kyc! shame i never got to test it out before they deprecated it 😔

i actually liked it a lot and was sad when even farcaster got rid of it!

i didn't actually see the ig nft implementation, just recall they had a notification mentioning it. what could you actually do? make NFTs out of your posts?
