Frictionless and Fun: Rodeo

When it comes to crypto and user experience, it’s still clunky. We’re in the Netscape era of Web3—exciting, but not quite ready for the average user.

Rodeo changes that. It’s a slick new app that lets you collect and post digital art with a single click. No wallet setup. No crypto knowledge required. Just fun.

My favorite collection? Nookamoto—a playful series riffing on the mystery of “Who is Satoshi?” You can collect pieces for just a few cents. It’s frictionless. And actually fun.

Today, Rodeo dropped their iOS app. If you’re into art or enjoy testing new tech, it’s worth a download. No crypto background needed—exactly how it should be.

Imagine Instagram, but each “like” costs a few cents, giving you partial ownership of the post. And if you’re a creator? You can actually monetize your content.

As AI bots start to overrun social platforms, it’s getting harder to tell what engagement is real. When a like costs something—even a tiny bit—what would you collect? What would the bots collect?

Maybe a conversation for another day.

Art on the blockchain still gets a bad rep. But here’s the irony: at the AGO in Toronto, I saw dozens of people—kids included—snapping pics of physical art just to admire it later… on their phones.

We’re already collecting art digitally. Why not own it digitally, too?

The blockchain makes that possible—not just for art, but for money, music, identity, and beyond. This isn’t the future. It’s already here.
