About me

I am bruce bates. I have been in cryptocurrency since 2010. I am a developer, creator, and artist. I love NFTs, social networking, and sharing my thoughts with others. I am incredibly well known in the crypto space and have help shaped a number of projects with my thoughts and ideas, though you won't hear my name in a whole lot of circles and I am only part of projects I have personally created.

• Should a well known personality create a new brand for projects they create or piggyback on their existing personal brand?
• Are you using NFTs in your marketing efforts? Have you ever bought or sold an NFT?

Painted is a brand new social network with goals to integrate a web3 shopping experience and multiple different types of content streams so people with different personality types who like different types of content - can still interact with each other. Think twitter meets linkedin meets medium meets NFT web3 shopping.

College was the worst decision of my life -lol. None the less I went to ITT Tech for web development, despite having long since been creating websites by 2002/03. :) Honestly my self taught knowledge far exceeds anything school could have achieved.
