These smaller spaces can help create new optimistic visions for the future *and* create something that people can be part of without also being part of the financialized cruft. pic.twitter.com/RCNI2XlSnt
THE PEOPLE WANT THE POAPS

I think it's one of the reasons I fundamentally like the core concept of @poapxyz so much: there's no value attached to a memory outside sentiment. Instead of "Look at X that I have," it's "Oh, you did Y, too!" or "I'm really proud that I attended Z."

You can't put a price on a memory. I can't remember every cover or movie I saw but the stubs would give me a snap shot and a memory would pop up. But they are gone now.

This is why I love @poapxyz and wish everything came with one
