My Marriage is an NFT
I thought being married with a kid was hard. Then we had a second. Between the feedings, the diapers, and more feedings, my wife and I hardly have a moment to ourselves, let alone each other. Now, I know I'm not the only one struggling to make their marriage work. But how many others are asking same, simple, question that I'm asking:
How do I monetize this?
Introducing "Matrimony," my first NFT project. Every minute of every night that I spend awake with our toddler, while my wife is fast asleep on the overpriced California king mattress she insisted we get, is now memorialized as its very own NFT. Currently, there are over 10,955 unique NFT's, representing over 2-years of unbalanced effort to raise our child.
We currently have over 43,000 members in our Discord and just shy of 125k followers on Twitter, which just goes to show you how many fathers out there are eager to take this exhausting journey with me.
What I'm announcing today is the final piece of the roadmap. When you buy an NFT of my struggle to uphold my vows before God, you aren't just buying a silly little JPEG; you're buying an opportunity. An opportunity to vote in the MatrimonyDAO on how I should respond next time she asks me go downstairs to fill up her water bottle. Unlike many NFT projects, this one has real world consequences and they are immediate. Do I remain calm and try to remember that she carried that little angel inside of her for 9-months, at the expense of her career, as well as her mental and physical wellbeing? Do I take a breath, collect my thoughts, and remember that she also has feelings? Or do I remind her that I haven't watched a single episode of the new season of Barry and that my poor eating habits are because of her? Every NFT holder will get to vote on whether this night goes amicably or if I put this poor woman through hell.
The whitelist mint goes live in 48-hours. If it does not sell out, the mint will then open to the waitlist. If that does not sell out, I will tell my wife I'm going to pick up milk and some smokes and keep driving West until I hit water. Thank you for taking this journey with me!
Update: My wife has bought the entire collection and has voted to give herself all of my assets.
🎙️ Louis CK talks about U.S. presidents for 4-hours. This is one of the best things I've listened to in years. Shane Gillis– the comedian who lost a job offer from SNL for using an ethnic slur– visits Louis CK to discuss every single U.S. president in a 4-parts series. Regardless of your stance on these two gentleman, this is a fascinating look into how Louie CK has processed his fall from grace. His assessment, in Part-4, of why certain candidates win elections is simply brilliant. YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts.
