One Question by Hydrate Labs
An Hourly Consulting Project Built on Ethereum
A Blockchain Researcher’s Attempt to Deter Casual Inquiries With a Sense of Humor
The Problem
I get asked a lot of questions about crypto and NFTs. Adoption of these technologies requires some serious time and energy, and not everyone is ready. Your time and my time is valuable. Do plenty of research. I applaud any caution and reservations you may have. Don’t worry about me, I’m hedging my bets too.
So you’ve conquered your skepticism and have done your homework. Your head is going to explode. With a healthy balance of wonder and worry, you see value in web3 technology, but need someone to help make sense of it all. I remember having that problem. I can help.
The Solution
Questions about crypto and NFTs are business inquiries. If you ask me a question, I will send you a link and encourage you to buy some consulting time. Each purchase of a One Question project NFT gives you my best insights and undivided attention for the allotted time frame.

I am not a recruiter and I don’t know anyone that can help with your project.

How It Works
Connect your Twitter account to the NFT platform you’re purchasing the consulting time on. Purchase the One Question NFT, then DM me from your linked Twitter account. If you cannot DM me, simply respond to the post which announced this medium article and we will link up.
Once we agree on the time, I will provide the Google meets or Zoom link.
If you hold one of Ariel Becker’s Clockchains in the same wallet that purchased consulting time, you can receive double the allotted time.
The One Question project was created on Manifold.xyz using a custom contract.
The Questions
How should I approach launching my first NFT project?
In this 1 hour session I will provide insights from over 2 years collecting and marketing NFTs. You can use our meeting to share your screen and show me any relevant art and details about your story.
What are your thoughts on the current crypto and NFT market?
This 30 minute session will consist of my clearly apparent cognitive dissonance relating to the state of the current market, what I’m buying/holding and why.
What do you think of this project?
Provide the project’s Twitter account @. I will spend 30 minutes reviewing the project. I’ll find the links and information on my own, nothing needs to be provided. Then, we will do a 30 minute call where I explain what I think of the project.
How can I increase my executive presence?
A standard 1 hour professional and personal development session. List out areas you want to improve in before the session. Nearly all of the solutions already exist within you, and during the session I will mostly ask questions to help you see things from a new perspective. I will try to avoid too many prescriptions.
How do I flip NFTs?
This 30 minute session will consist of me pointing out how NFT flippers operate on popular sites like OpenSea, LooksRare, etc.

I attended 0xpo 2020, NFT NYC 2021 and Art Basel 2021. I write articles relating to NFTs and personal wellness on Medium. In Q3 & Q4 of 2021, I advised Michael Yamashita’s NFT team. With my guidance, they coded technical photography traits and rarity rank into their NFT metdata. They successfully marketed and sold out of their 4 Seasons of Jiuzhaigou and Tibet: In Search of Shangri-La photography NFT collections.
