Assuming the story is interesting enough for people to bid for an NFT, then:
What about writing a book instead / as well?
(Can one do both? or maybe things included in an NFT cannot also be in a book?)
Or what about finding [other people who were involved in the early Internet and came up with technologies and ideas that nowadays 20 - 25 years later are "taken for granted"], and write a book together? Or maybe (some of) them would be interested in getting interviewed and having their stories included in a book, together with your story. Maybe a bit similar to the book "Founders at Work", but about well known early Internet technologies instead of early software / Internet companies? (At the same time, maybe that's way more work than what you originally had in mind)
- garyrob 5y agoVery reasonable suggestion, I just don't feel like spending my time writing a book! I've got things to do that would be more rewarding for me. And the NFT phenomenon is real. If someone would spend $100's of K's for the first newspaper column to tout itself as an NFT, why would nobody want to spend anything for invention of the tracking cookie, given the significance of the tracking cookie in the development of the internet? That wouldn't seem logical to me. So this seems worth a try!
- garyrob 5y agoAnd while I'd enjoy contributing a chapter to a "Founders at Work"-type book, but I certainly wouldn't want to go to the trouble of finding people to write such chapters, trying to interest publishers, etc. As you say, "maybe that's way more work than what you originally had in mind"! :)
