Utsav Mamoria recently wrote How to Live an Intellectually Rich Life (https://utsavmamoria.substack.com/p/h...) on his Substack, Tumse Na Ho Paayega. It blew up, breaking out of containment in India and spanning the globe to the tune of 1,100 likes at the time of recording. For good reason: Utsav combines philosophy, mathematics, biographies, personal experience, and hand-drawn sketches to create a map – quite literally – for living an intellectually rich life. He takes us on a journey through Moradoom, Igamor, and Evermore, before arriving at Luminspere, the Mountains of Knowledge. His one sentence takeaway: Consistency trumps everything. I loved reading the essay, and was pleasantly surprised to enjoy our conversation even more.

How to Break Through the Noise: Get More Views, Engagement & Reach
This is a recording from "The Secrets to Content Discoverability and Virality" panel that was hosted at Onchain Creator Summit, presented by CryptoSapiens with support from Unlock Protocol, Own The Doge, The Creators during ETHDenver 2025 This panel brings leaders from the web3 space to provide insight for creators looking provide visibility and engagement for their content using Web3 tools. Speakers include: - Russ: CVO, Proof of Vibes - Naomi Metzger: Professional Athlete - Smoke: CEO, Own the Doge - Chris Eberle: CEO, SparkHouse The discussion focused on virality onchain, content creation, and the power of decentralized platforms in building creator-driven communities. Key Takeaways: Creating Viral Content Onchain— - Make content that is worth collecting, treating collectors as early supporters of a creator’s journey. Memes, Virality, and Community Activation— - Memes must be viral to remain relevant and that community-driven storytelling fuels their longevity. Lessons from Traditional Social Media— - Virality principles haven't changed—authenticity, consistency, and audience engagement remain key. - The difference now is creator-owned audiences in Web3, reducing platform dependency and increasing content portability. Cross-Promotion & Audience Engagement— - Adapt content per platform: - Farcaster → personal & community-driven - Instagram → personality-focused - Engage by replying to comments; make the audience feel valued. Collaboration & Growth Strategies— - Engage in deep networking and partnerships to drive virality. - Community-driven amplification (e.g., Farcaster, Base, Clanker) helps creators scale organically. Advice for New Creators— - Don’t fear cringe. Virality often comes from persistence. - Web2 creators are in demand—brands need content, so reaching out can open opportunities. - Consistency isn’t just about posting daily—it's about maintaining a recognizable style and personality. Underrated Niches in Onchain Content— - Comedy is underrepresented but could be a strong onboarding tool. - Innovative storytelling formats (e.g., meme-driven narratives) have untapped potential. Final Thoughts— - Keep building. Even if engagement is low initially, one person can change everything. - Own your content, own your audience. Web3 enables true creative independence. The panel ended with a call to action: embrace Web3, experiment, and collaborate to push the boundaries of onchain creativity.

Context S4: The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Most Visited Museum in America Dives into NFTs
Blake speaks with The Metropolitan Museum of Art team who recently released Art Links, marking The Met’s first foray onto the blockchain. Art Links is a 12-week game that invites you to connect the dots between seeming disparate art works (whether centuries apart, completely different mediums, etc.) according to different themes, rewarding you in the form of NFT badges and IRL prizes. Blake has played religiously every week, and has learned a tonne! 3 of the project leads are here to talk about the game: Destinee Filmore, Assistant Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Met, Brett Renfer, The Met's Senior Project Manager for Emerging Technologies and Audrey Ou, co-founder and CEO of TRLab. They dive deep into the project, from how long it took to plan and launch, to the intended audience, to why they chose Base, to the art they included. Blake also couldn’t resist asking Destinee about if (and when) the Met will collect their first crypto art works. If you want to get a read on the traditional art world and how they are engaging with NFTs…you can’t really get bigger than this. The Met is the most visited museum in America, and one of the most important cultural institutions in the world.
