Both black books and wallets have served as a medium for flexing collections. Black books being physical books within which graffiti writers and their peers would collect tags from others in their community to cherish and show off when in like-minded company.
Wallets today, the crypto kind, serve a similar purpose. If you've ever been on an NFT marketplace, like OpenSea, you may have noticed that you can click around, find an artist you like and see not only what they've made but also what they've collected.
With this latest blockchain-powered evolution in how we collect and share, it's easier than ever to show off the goods you're proud of and connect with those of similar interests.
What's more, as we discuss, the community culture has grown alongside the technology. Where once artists may have contributed to the black books of their peers, crypto wallets allow artists to put particular peers on exclusive lists or airdrop pieces to anonymous wallets simply because their collections make them part of the right community.
