The World of NFTs

In May, 2021, Joe bought a VeeFriends NFT. He didn't know what in the hell he was doing, but recognized a new world-changing technology was emerging and wanted to understand it. 

Since then his NFT hobby has turned him into a trusted advisor and influencer in the NFT world. He is now working with people around the world to make NFTs and blockchain technology a force for good. 

Twitter has become nearly all NFTs all the time, so follow along there. You can also follow Joe's Mutant Ape, "Pinky Smiles."

If you're looking for Joe on Discord (where NFT degens chat about NFTs), find him at joebart#9074.

design:South Dakota

About 12 years ago, Joe and some friends started a community co-design project in Corsica, South Dakota. They convinced a team of architects, town planners, economic developers, community organizers and other design professionals to spend 3 days in a small rural town helping that community name and illustrate visions for it’s future.

See where it’s gone from there at designsd.org.
