Paris Hilton Crypto Queen Order of the Egonauts 5th series NFT

By Shayne Heffernan3 min read

Paris Hilton Crypto Queen has been famous, infamous and perhaps the first to be called famous for being famous. Some refer to her as the true OG influencer and it’s hard to argue otherwise when you consider the trajectory of social media over the past 20 years and the huge role that influencers now play in 2022. Yet, it is her conviction in NFTs, early advocation of the metaverse and public support around web3 culture that led Order of the Egonauts to choose her. After all, as a person who helped build her sphere of influence riding the wave of Web2, it is impressive to see her so elegantly step into the world of Web3

Paris Hilton as a Cryptocurrency Advocate

In March of this year, Hilton performed at the South by Southwest (SXSW) tech conference in Austin. Her DJ performance at The Sandbox metaverse event was a surprise at the time, yet in retrospect was just a glimpse of what was to come. In August, Hilton announced she was bringing her Malibu mansion and more to her land in The Sandbox’s metaverse. With the promise of epic social events, rooftop parties and other web3 community empowered gatherings that will inevitably help elevate the space, it seems Paris is well on her way to becoming the queen of crypto in 2022; the exact type of queen that NFT project, Order of the Egonauts would honor by paying tribute to.

The Paris Hilton Egonaut represents the 5th series in their ongoing collection of 12 that continues to be released over time. The previous 4 Egonauts featured Egonaut, Vitalik Buterin of Ethereum, CZ of Binance, Elon Musk and Gary Vaynerchuk of VaynerMedia and Vee Friends.

Founder of Order of the Egonauts, Chris Pederson aka Bill Spayships states, “When we choose a certain figure to be an Egonaut, we dedicate significant time to researching their lives. This goes beyond just their influence in the space of cryptocurrency as we use this research to incorporate meaningful traits in each unique NFT illustration".

About Order of the Egonauts

The Order of the Egonauts NFT collection is created as a tribute to the heroes and villains of cryptocurrency. Each Egonaut is released as a series of 101 one-of-one pieces of original hand drawn artwork.

Every series is illustrated with traits relevant to the past, present and future of the Egonaut featured. Thus each NFT tells a visually unique story about the life of that Egonaut as a form of historical record. There will be 1,212 total NFTs once the collection is complete in 2023.

A limited release of 22 Paris Hilton Egonaut NFTs will be available to mint on October 13th for those on the early allow list. Visit https://egonauts.io/ and click on the link to be added to the list.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate

A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.

Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age

Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?

The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive

A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
