What do you want your legacy to be?

An individual’s Digital Identity has real value in this post-industrial, creativity-based Culture, and it can be argued that Digital Identity is the currency of Web3. But how to best express that Digital Identity?

The latest evolution of the essentials of change - technology plus organization that facilitate specialization and coordination - is best expressed by the NFT, which yields authority, influence, sovereignty, and community.

Through NFTs as Digital Identity, we should begin to see new kinds of stores, new habits of time, new work processes, new forms of communication, new kinds of commerce, new ideologies, new forms of play and leisure, new communities, and more. Groups of people will be brought together in production processes, leading to the rise of new types of commerce and infrastructure previously hard to imagine.

What society should look like is for us to build.

"Why 4762? What's the significance?" I get this question frequently, to which I typically respond, “'cause 4762 = 4762!” But of course, there is a reason why 4762 is my favorite number… 

When I picked my Punk, I selected Punk 4762. But, 4762 = 4762 didn’t start there. Soon after, I learned of V1 Punk provenance and sought to match my V1 & V2 Punk pairs, which required getting the V1 Punk to be transferable (wrapped as an NFT token), growing my personal network, and expanding my NFT knowledgebase. Still, 4762 was not yet born.

I next noticed that the ENS domain 4762.eth was listed for sale on Opensea. I recognized the value of a collection of both V1+V2 Punk pairs with the matching domain name, so I put 4762.eth in my NFT vault. Punk 4762 was now my Digital Identity, but still I was not 4762.

I believe I next picked up Genuine Undead 4762. I was interested in the project, saw 4762 available for purchase on Opensea, and liked the art of Genuine Undead 4762 in particular… he had a joint to match my Punk. Here I decided to collect the 4762’s of other NFT collections. More than that, though, here is when I made the decision to become 4762 … not a name, not an image, but a number.

I'm not a pfp ... I'm 4762.

In reviewing NFT collections and considering other 4762’s to acquire, I realized several challenges. First, I could not wait around for 4762’s to find their way to “Buy Now” on Opensea - I needed to take the initiative to incentivize the trade and motivate the owner to release his valued treasure. Next, finding the owner of a specific 4762, especially in the case of anonymous accounts, required creativity, connectivity, and the leveraging of my community for assistance - in almost every case.

I wasn’t building the 4762 collection… my exceptionally entrepreneurial community was. Rather, I was building “4762 = 4762”, a community of communities that encourages and motivates its members, a community of crypto-forward creatives with the initiative to connect, builders with a vision for the future.

What are the goals of the “4762 = 4762” Community of Communities?
