You've been hearing me talk about NFTs all year on this channel, but this week, I'm going to cover a game-changer concept in the NFT industry.

Charged Particles is the protocol behind this revolutionary NFT technology.

The Graph protocol is one of the most important protocols within the blockchain space. It allows blockchain developers to efficiently program decentralized applications by giving them easy access to querying whatever information they need across the blockchain network. The Graph is integrated on most blockchains and plans on being a catalyst in the crypto community, in a multi-chain society. My guest for the week was Mr. Pranav Maheshwari. Mr. Pranav was a solutions engineer at Polygon before transitioning to Edge & Node and helping the team behind The Graph. As crypto and NFTs are marching towards full adoption, protocols like The Graph and individuals like Mr. Pranav, are what help lead the charge towards a decentralized, permissionless multi-chain society. In the episode, Mr. Pranav and I went over what is The Graph, how it impacts the blockchain space, why it's referred to as the “Google of Blockchains,” is Polygon an L2 or a sidechain, Web 3.0, the vision of a fully decentralized, permissionless society, the NFT community and its future, how The Graph is helping push Web 3.0 forward, and more!

We all know how Terrell Owens is, but did you know he had an NFT gallery? That's what NFT and Topps artist, Blake Jamieson, joined me to talk about this week. Terrell Owens is one of the greatest NFL players of all time and now he's entered the NFT community. Important names interacting with crypto in various forms is what will bring the community in the mainstream. Blake Jamieson is a renowned artist who has done work for Topps and is Terrell Owens' NFT partner. He manages Terrell Owens' NFT museum and they have ambitious plans for what they will do within the NFT community and the metaverse. Mr. Blake loves to make sports art, but stated that he will transition into various forms of art as his career progresses. He is of course an NFT artist, but that is not his only form of distributing his art. Mr. Blake and I share a similar marketing philosophy. It's best to distribute your product everywhere you can and take advantage of all avenues. Mr. Blake also makes beautiful NFT art, which I will include the link to down below.

The Talk2Much Podcast is back in your life with former NBA player, CJ Watson, joining me to talk about his NBA career and investing. Growing up, I paid more attention to the NBA than anything else in my life so this episode was a special episode for me! Not only did CJ Watson play in the NBA, but he served as the backup to my two favorite players in NBA history; Stephen Curry and Derrick Rose. It was great to go through Mr. CJ's career and understand his mindset towards investing at different stages of his life. Hearing CJ Watson's personal perspective on finance and investing is going to be interesting for my audience. We also went through his children's books which he releases every year. We ended the show going through the stages of his NBA career and we talked about the current NBA season. Of course I needed to get some NBA predictions for my people.

A half blind NFT artist? Have any of you heard of a half blind NFT artist? Well you're about to. Meet my friend Ben, otherwise known as 4th Perspective. This last week was insane in the NFT community. Gary Vaynerchuck dropped his new NFT collection, Vee Friends. Artists like Beeple have continued to make strides as we actually saw him appear on an interview with Gary Vee this week. Who knows if they're working on something together? But what I did realize is I wanted to put out an episode with an NFT artist. And I had a very special NFT artist from the NFT community in this episode. He goes by the name of 4th Perspective. We talked about his life as an NFT artist, what it's like participating in the NFT community, his sources of inspiration, his eye sickness which he is battling while making crypto art, his dissection of my NFTs, his NFT art career in depth, and more! 4th Perspective Twitter: https://twitter.com/4th_Perspective?s=20 ​4th Perspective ShowTime: https://tryshowtime.com/4thPerspective ​4th Perspective Foundation: https://foundation.app/4thPerspective ​4th Perspective OpenSea: https://opensea.io/collection/4thpers... ​Thank you guys so much and I hope you enjoyed the episode!

Crypto market volatility has always been a main question for on-the-fence crypto investors; especially Bitcoin price action. The price of Bitcoin has always been the measuring stick for the volatility of the crypto market. With the recent boom of Ethereum, what does that mean for the correlation between Ethereum and Bitcoin? What is the future of the crypto market and Bitcoin? What will Bitcoin's price be at the end of the year? How do you get into trading crypto? Is it worth it and is it stressful? That's what Trader Mercury joined me to talk about this week. Trader Mercury is one of the most special 21-year olds I have ever come across. Already a respectable crypto trader within the community, Trader Mercury has worked hard to build himself a reputation and investment portfolio that need to be respected. He joined me to help young people on the fence about crypto trading decide whether it is worth it for them. Trader Mercury focuses on actually getting into the crypto market and gaining experience from trading Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. He believes experience is key in the crypto market. We talked about Trader Mercury's upbringing and crypto background, how he got into finance and investing, his crypto trading experience, his knowledge of the crypto market, what platforms to trade crypto on, the price of Bitcoin, the future price of Bitcoin, and more! I think this episode is another banger. But hey... that's just me. Thank you guys so much for investing time into this episode. I will be getting better each week.

There's a lot of aspiring, young artists in the NFT community that want to make a name for themselves, but they don't know how. This episode is dedicated to helping those artists become successful in the NFT community. Covering the NFT community has been a successful venture because I've been able to interview people like my special guest this week, Mr. Nick Cuttonaro. The NFT community is growing by the day, not just because of the innovation that comes with it, but because it accepts all artists with genuine appreciation. So who is Nick and how exactly can he help aspiring crypto artists in the NFT community? Mr. Nick is a man who wears many hats, as you will hear him say in the episode. First and foremost, he is an entrepreneur and marketer. He is heavily involved in real estate ventures and has a marketing agency that serves as an online reputation management team. He also happens to be heavily involved in the NFT community, being an NFT artist and NFT collector as well. He prides himself on his ability to pick out beautiful and rare art and has large goals in terms of pushing the NFT space and crypto space forward. Throughout this episode, we talked about multiple variables that can attribute to you becoming a successful artist in the NFT community. The foundation needs to be there; you need to be a skilled NFT artist. You need to have a good NFT collection; whether it's of NFTs you created or NFTs you purchased. You need to understand the concepts of marketing and networking as an NFT artist (we talked more in-depth about this in the episode). That is what will separate you from others in the NFT community. We talked about which NFT platforms are the best to use; whether that's Rarible or Opensea. We talked a little about NFT pricing, as well as Mr. Nick's own art style. If you look through the works of art Mr. Nick created; his NFTs are very unique and they have a specific style. I believe if you're anyone within the crypto community, whether that be an Ethereum supporter or Bitcoin supporter or both, the NFT community has space for you. I think you will get great value from this episode and have a better understanding of the power of NFTs. To any NFT artist or anyone in general in the NFT community, I hope this episode brings you value and helps you on your journey to becoming successful in the crypto space. As Ethereum transfers from a proof of work consensus mechanism to a proof of stake consensus mechanism, gas fees will be cheaper so don't forget to create and collect NFT art. Support NFT artists or just help push the NFT community forward in general. I hope you guys enjoy this episode and don't forget to follow Mr. Nick on his socials and follow his NFT journey.

Mr. OSF is an NFT collector who is deep within the NFT community, purchasing some of the most unique pieces of art you can find on NFT platforms. He holds pieces from artists like: Coldie, Sarah Zucker, Danguiz, and Kyle Szostek. OSF has a deep passion for art and collecting, which makes sense as to why he's gone full force into the NFT space. Throughout the episode, I wanted to cover the most important NFT topics for the NFT community. We talked about who OSF is, what an NFT collector looks for, the best way of selling your NFTs, the best way to speak to and form relationships with NFT collectors, marketing tactics for the NFT community, scarcity strategies, and more!

Somnium Space VR is a virtual world where you can buy and sell NFTs and explore a life you can only dream of in virtual reality! NFTs have completely taken over 2021 and as the years go by, they will be integrated in almost every area of life we can think of. I truly believe that. So what's the next level to NFTs beyond just selling art? The Virtual World. The metaverse. Whatever you guys want to call it. Somnium Space VR is one of them and might be the most unique. Why? Because Somnium Space VR is currently the only virtual world to incorporate a VR (virtual reality) aspect to the platform. Now that I'm completely obsessed with NFTs and have immersed my podcast into this industry, I decided to head down the rabbit hole and really see what Somnium Space VR is about. Joining the podcast this week is CEO & Founder of Somnium Space VR, Mr. Artur Sychov. Mr. Artur is one of the most brilliant and revolutionary figures in our society in my opinion. He is developing a virtual world that is fully integrated into blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market. As I said, crypto and NFTs are on fire right now and a virtual world dedicated to the growth of this massive industry can only be called revolutionary. So what can you do with an NFT in this virtual world? What does an NFT represent in this virtual world? What can NFTs can you buy and sell in Somnium Space VR? This podcast episode is for you. Well... first of all... Mr. Artur was kind enough to conduct this interview with me INSIDE Somnium Space VR. This means you guys get an inside look at what virtual reality actually means. Second of all, you can do anything with an NFT in this virtual world. An NFT is a non fungible token. A non fungible token is a unit of data stored on the blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique. NFTs can represent anything from photos to MP4's to GIFs. In Somnium Space VR, almost everything is an NFT. A parcel of virtual land in which you can build your business is an NFT. The avatar you use to walk around the virtual world is an NFT. The art you see on the walls and all around Somnium Space VR are NFTs. The cool part about Somnium Space VR art is that there is live art (which you will see in this episode). Live art is basically an NFT that you can walk into and a design appears all around you in a VR (virtual reality) aspect. I really hope you guys enjoy this episode on the next level of NFTs, the virtual world. Somnium Space VR is one of the most fascinating projects in the NFT and crypto industry because it is a UNIQUE project in a UNIQUE field. That always leads to success. I couldn't be more grateful for the CEO & founder of Somnium Space VR, Artur himself, decided to do this interview with me and provide this level of education on NFTs and the virtual world to my audience.
