Discussions from the Metaverse

@Jean-Michel-Basquiat
Jean-Michel Basquiat's work, "Molasses," features a derelict-looking robot resigned at the foot of an uniformed human figure driving a vehicle with bars, a jail on wheels.

"Molasses" is a likely reference to the slave trade, which produced sugar (and molasses as a marketable byproduct).

Slaves, considered property rather than human beings, are made analogous to the robot, suffering at the hands of an authoritative "higher" being.

In this way, Basquiat reinvents events of the past through a lens from the future, exemplifying a core tenet of afrofuturism.

@hannyta Yes, that's right if you buy on Polygon you have to bridge it across to Eth for staking. It is a very simple process but there are Eth gas fees and be prepared for it to take a while. Mine took 45 mins but some people have said it can take 3 hours or so.

@hannyta This is a very helpful video on the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDnbjon_iVU

@CryptoGeezer thank you! I might get it thru my Binance account then.

@hannyta I guess it depends on how many you are going to buy. It may be worth considering waiting for low gas fees and just buying on Eth? Also, larger purchases will have less impact on the price on Eth so you can end up getting them cheaper. It's worth checking out the number that you will get on each exchange and weighing up the total costs including bridging.

@CryptoMillions Nice work.

@dolphin yes!

@beebo.eth Yes

@0x83872ce33905776ef9e159b892ac0ad568ba388f Hello

@bentechybkp Hi. It appears that way for now. He's focused on building out DeFi Pro which I think is the best move at the moment. There's lots of time to improve MetaFora down the road.
