I was up at midnight last night on an event strategy call with the Binance team so I need some extra reinforcement this morning ☕️ 🥹
Disruptors and curious minds, book lovers, readers! Welcome to book club.
Benjamin Franklin said once you lose it, you’ll never find it again. Theophrastrus said it was the most valuable thing you can spend. Pericles said it was the wisest counsellor of all. Oscar Wilde said punctuality steals it away.
Turns out they were all wrong.
Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein. “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
Or,
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”
Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.”
Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”
Time really is all we have. And in this months book club, we're talking about it in more detail than we ever thought possible. We're reading:
- The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli.
Welcome to Book Club, where serious readers come to get more from their books. It's where adventurous book lovers come to understand concepts, share ideas and get different perspectives.
Please Enjoy The Show.
@mismir has finally come to life, and The Archway is now available for collecting. You can purchase it directly within Lens with Bonsai or on Manifold with ETH or a credit card
In the post below, you can read more about the process of collecting The Archway with Bonsai. As mentioned there, feel free to message me on Telegram (@eduardmsmr) if you need any guidance
The Archway symbolizes the Exordium of Mismir, serving as the initial piece of the puzzle. By collecting it, in the upcoming weeks, you will be able to redeem a physical garment called The Prologue. The Prologue is available in three colors, mirroring those seen in The Archway, and they will be randomly distributed. The more Archways you possess, the more physical garments you can redeem
The Prologue holds special significance as it marks the inception of what I term as Storyloom Products, signifying a redefinition of fashion and our connection to it. Within The Prologue resides Dremis, a free NFT that you can claim. Dremis not only serves as a certificate of authenticity but also grants access to various benefits within Mismir’s universe. These benefits range from co-creation (not limited to garments alone) to empowering you to earn financially from your dreams, enrich your community, and gain early and exclusive access to products and experiences. Additionally, many other benefits will soon be unveiled; I am proceeding cautiously to ensure that what is promised can be delivered. Expect more in the future
Alongside Dremis, there's also Miralis, which can be distributed to celebrate the meetings and connections you've established with certain individuals. Miralis is a POAP infused with the values of love, kindness, and empathy, designed to foster deeper and more authentic connections between two or more beautiful souls like yourself
In addition to these two primary elements, you'll also find a link to a realm where you can schedule a one-on-one call with me. While you can already schedule one after claiming The Archway, I want to extend this opportunity to you three times per year, making it as accessible as possible. That's why it's integrated into the garment
These are the initial elements residing within The Prologue, Mismir’s inaugural physical garment. Over time, they will evolve, with new additions emerging, all intended to redefine our connection to fashion and enrich our shared narrative. From co-creation to shopping, chatting, playing, and more—all encapsulated within a single garment
Here is a link to Mismir’s website, where you can delve deeper into the world I aim to create by leveraging the prowess of fashion and people:
Below, you can acquire The Archway and join me as a co-author of Mismir’s narrative
The Archway ( overall 1000 ) will be sold in batches of 25. Every time a batch is sold out, another one will be uploaded. I've chosen this approach because I wanted to establish a fair and sustainable method for all parties involved.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Any shares or other forms of engagement are greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for your support!
Much love,
Eduard🌹
Here it is! The new video for my newest track, "33333" coming Friday to Lens! 1 WMatic to collect.

Shared Objects
This post is merely a thought experiment meant to provoke more conversation and ideation around this concept. It’s the beginning of a conversation…
You may have seen or heard me mention TBAs recently (it’s all I can think about). A TBA (token bound account) is the wallet address of an NFT, because oh by the way every NFT now has a wallet(!!). Every NFT can contain other NFTs and any other tokens.
WHAT DOES THIS ACTUALLY MEAN?
It means we can easily create what I’ll refer to as Shared Objects. These can be pieces of art, ideas, magazines, publications, gaming teams, and even entire communities.
HOW CAN THIS WORK?
One way to create a Shared Object on Lens would be for an app to be able to open an NFT, and then have an “Enable Contribution” setting when creating a post. When enabled, the user’s post to Lens would automatically be Collected and sent to the Shared Object. [See attached image]. Another option would be for the app to load the Shared Object NFT and allow users to send any NFT to that object. A simple NFT transfer is all it takes. Access to these Shared Objects can of course be token gated like we’re already doing with communities.
This implementation could be done for small objects, such as a a piece of art that maybe 3 people would like to collaborate on. It could also be applied to teams or communities. There could be settings for some or all of a user’s posts to get sent to the community’s token, or even a selective “Archive” function. This would make the output of the community composable, monetizable, and capable of anything an NFT can do, all while retaining proper attributions. Royalties/revenue could be sent to a user’s ID, Access Pass, Wallet, etc.
A gaming team could collect and share assets: Players could acquire weapons and share them with the team by keeping it in the team’s NFT.
The possibilities are truly endless here. I’d love to hear any ideas or questions furthering this topic.
We’ve spent a lot of time Collecting each other’s data.
Now it’s time to start Collaborating with it.
📍 Band-e Amir, Afghanistan 🇦🇫
A Completely Different Afghanistan!
All the hardships after a grueling 20-hour journey were forgotten the moment we laid eyes on the enchanting colors of the Band-e-Amir lakes in the national park. It felt like stepping into another planet, in every sense.
We visited Band-e-Amir on a Friday, a non-working day in the Islamic world. The place was bustling like an anthill.
Women pedaling boats while playfully man are playing in water, dancing, playing music, balloons being sold, and merry-go-rounds spinning... Here, it's as if different laws apply compared to the rest of the country.
lenstube.xyz/bytes/0x01c804-0x0181
Nobody minds that Omid and I are pedaling together, even though we aren't married or close relatives. Every now and then, we stop to chat with people, mostly girls, who are cheerful and smiling. I tease Omid, saying that this one is cute, that one is cute, should I ask for her number? I can see he's smiling. He says, "I know why. They see I'm with you and think I'm rich. I don't need those kinds of girls."
One pedal boat particularly caught our attention, with three girls, one woman, and one man, all dancing joyfully. I start filming them, and they wave at me. After a while, our boats line up side by side. Mubaraka and Mursal (the two girls) switch to my boat. Oh, you should have seen their happiness! They're all talking at once, saying, "Ask me something, ask me!" Before the Taliban came to power, they had finished high school and now dream of studying abroad. They aren't sure how that dream will come true, but no one can take away their hope...
They invited me to their home (they're actually neighbors; Mubaraka joined Mursal's family on the trip), and though I promised to come, I didn't manage to... Perhaps another time...
At least we exchanged numbers and are chatting on WhatsApp ❤️
