Episode interview with NorCalGuy, find his Twitter https://twitter.com/GuyNorcal (GuyNorcal) and check out his podcast https://twitter.com/norcalandshill (NorCal and Shill) Time Stamps [1:11 – 2:14] Heard about https://www.cryptokitties.co/ (CryptoKitties) back in 2017, thought it was just people paying money for a jpeg. By the end of 2020 he got into https://nbatopshot.com/ (TopShot). [2:20 – 3:57] TopShot appealed to NorCalGuy because it seemed like something normies could get into not just crypto guys. His friends like sports so it was a good place to start. Moved to a love of https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/g/generative-art (generative art). Building relationship with artist through purchases brought him to really love 1/1s. [3:52 – 5:45] https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/pfp-nfts-future-market-1234602384/ (PFPs) are more of a quick income generator, 1/1s are more long term. Generative art falls between the two. This value pyramid is based on the fact that PFPs are just easier to sell. People like, https://twitter.com/cathsimard_ (Cath Simard) for example, who work hard and get into the community, NorCalGuy feels those works will appreciate.  [5:45 – 6:34] This echoes similar comments from traditional art collectors who are trying to cross over. Some of them see an appeal of flippable projects but others really still value the due diligence of traditional relationships.  [6:34 – 7:56] NorCalGuy feels that most PFPs don't have enough community behind them. Instead, with 1/1s, if it's the art that you like and you can connect with that artist and what they do, then you can gauge better the outcome. Most of his 1/1s have come with a physical copy. If getting into it now he would buy established PFP projects like a https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks (Punk) or an https://boredapeyachtclub.com/#/ (Ape) as a hedge against the 1/1s.  [7:56 – 9:31] For Kizu this is similar to a traditional gallery space, not wanting to be purely commercial while also wanting to support experimental work. Flippable projects subsidize love for less commercial works. He compares this to how NorCalGuy collects. [9:31 – 11:48] Sabretooth talks about how the 1/1  format of collecting really started with https://superrare.com/ (SuperRare) and this is now common, but before that 1/1s were not really native to crypto art. Looking at web 2.0 or even 1.0, the things that tend to succeed are native and not https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/skeuomorphism (skeumorphic). If this model continued, could it be the case that 1/1s become relics of their time? [11:55 – 14:00] Primary or secondary collecting doesn't matter to NorCalGuy. With https://twitter.com/imbrendannorth?lang=en (Brendon North) it was initially all secondary but he got it for almost the same price as primary.  He determines whether good price or not by looking at things like; previous sales, social engagement, and non-NFT sales. Ultimately it goes off gut feeling, recommendation, and experience.  [14:00 – 18:03] Sabretooth draws attention to the idea that NFT collectors and crypto investors are basically making relative valuations based on other currencies or works that are successful.  NorCalGuy feels that rather than taking that approach, he really goes off of artist's work ethic and proof that they're in it for the long haul. He gives the example of photographer http://www.ericrubensphotography.com/ (Eric Rubens) or https://twitter.com/imbrendannorth?lang=en (Brendan North). [18:03 – 20:06] Instagram changed the game for a lot of artists; it created a line of direct communication with buyers that fostered a relationship of tailoring work. Previously this was only done through galleries.  NorCalGuy doesn't want to give artistic direction. He stays with the

Episode interview with Chris Wallace, find his Twitter https://twitter.com/chriswallace (chriswallace) and check out his new project https://woodiesnft.com/ (Woodies) Time Stamps [1:02 – 2:27] Chris got into NFTs in March of 2021 when a friend invited him to the https://foundation.app/ (Foundation) platform with a https://help.foundation.app/en/articles/5015227-how-do-creator-invites-work (creator invite). He started posting pieces and people were buying them. From there he got really involved in https://tezos.gitlab.io/active/proof_of_stake.html (Tezos) with https://www.hicetnunc.xyz/ (Hic et Nunc) (HEN). He now has about 3500 NFTs. [2:50 – 5:32] As artists were https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/15/22328203/nft-cryptoart-ethereum-blockchain-climate-change (looking for a greener solution) to NFTs, Hic et Nunc launched. Chris saw value in this system as it favored https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms/pos/ (proof-of-stake) instead of https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms/pow/ (proof-of-work). He also thought it was cool that it went beyond the 10,000 piece generative projects that were popular in April 2021 and that in general it just felt like a more creative and underground spot. Affordability and getting a better ROI were also contributing factors.  [5:46 – 8:22] Where on Ethereum artists may stick to generative or collective approaches that attract more money, with Tezos and HEN, minting is more affordable which is providing artist with an outlet that allows them to put out more interesting and  experimental works. Chris gives the example of seeing really interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_adversarial_network (GAN) works on Tezos.  [8:22 – 9:57] The cost of minting has encouraged artists to have multiple personas or sub-portfolios, almost as if they had split-personalities. In a way this correlates with the traditional art world where, sometimes artists will prefer to work with smaller art fairs as it allows them to create without the heavy pressure of producing something more commercial.  [11:05 - ] Chris's projects like https://ultradao.org/ (Ultra DAO) and https://woodiesnft.com/ (Woodies) are on Ethereum because at the time his developers had more experience writing in the Ethereum ecosystem and there were few https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/smart-contracts/ (smart contracts) on Tezos. The creation of Woodies started as a joke when artist https://twitter.com/DesLucrece (Lucréce) posted on Twitter he was going to sell planks of wood and use the money to buy a house. The idea advanced, artist from the Ultra DAO group got together, then artist https://twitter.com/jae838?lang=en (J-838) really perfected the image with his drawings which reflected a more humanoid figure.  [15:13 – 18:50] https://medium.com/geekculture/a-beginners-guide-to-understanding-pfp-nfts-8714e9d30d0b (PFPs) officially started with https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks (CryptoPunks) in 2017 but the modern PFP project really started this year with https://www.thehashmasks.com/ (HashMasks). Chris feels that historical relevance is important but that ultimately, success of PFP projects comes from other factors such as lifestyle and people getting into a community that reflects their personal interests (i.e.; https://www.deadfellaz.io/ (DeadFellaz), https://www.0n1force.com/ (0N1 Force), https://boredapeyachtclub.com/ (BoredApes)).  [19:32 – 21:09] In questions of longevity in regards to identity based PFPs versus memes, Chris feels that memes also carry a strong sense of community and belonging (such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog (Pepe the Frog)) and that really that's what people are after and care about the most.

Episode Interview with Colborn, find his twitter https://twitter.com/colbornbell?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (colbornbell) and check out his Museum of Crypto Art (https://museumofcryptoart.com/ (MOCA)) Time Stamps [1:01 – 2:10] Colborn's intro to NFTs was with https://mooncatrescue.com/ (Moon Cats). When these later had a resurgence in the NFT scene he was able to go back and recover 17 from his original mission. [2:58 – 4:13] First inspired by the https://www.inhotim.org.br/ (Inhotim Museum) in Brazil, when building MOCA Colborn looked to the history of physical museums. From this he adopted the rule to NOT participate in the commercial side of the artwork. Art and artists in the NFT scene often get overlooked and Colborn found it was important to favor them over the market. https://verticalcrypto.art/a-recap-of-the-interview-with-colborn-bell-from-the-museum-of-crypto-art-and-micol-from-verticalcrypto-art (https://verticalcrypto.art/a-recap-of-the-interview-with-colborn-bell-from-the-museum-of-crypto-art-and-micol-from-verticalcrypto-art) [4:13 – 5:36] Looking to use crypto currency as a tool for empowerment and a way to flatten identity biases. Just like the visual language of crypto, it is important for Colborn that the NFT scene has its own heroes. Along with this he also feels it is important that the scene is empowering creatives and pushing forth the melding of technology with creativity.  [6:10 – 8:44] Colborn finds that through the curatorial nature of most traditional art spaces there is a certain level of sterility and that this can be combated by providing the audience with the tools to explore for themselves. Similar to https://www.somniumspace.com/ (Somnium Space), leaving the experience to the viewer's eye is empowering. With MOCA Colborn looks to bend realities and possibilities in hopes to convey to others what can be possible and to get them thinking.  [10:12 – 12:37] Art should not be put into a narrow category. When it comes to MOCA Colborn plans to include all forms of digital art as they all have their place within the history of NFTs. What worries Colborn is that the trend of profile pics feels a lot like the late stage https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffkauflin/2018/10/29/where-did-the-money-go-inside-the-big-crypto-icos-of-2017/ (2017 ICO boom); people are making a lot of money but at some point the bottom will inevitably fall out.  [13:54 – 15:40] People getting in just to flip doesn't hold value. Colborn hopes the profile picture phenomenon is waning. He finds other new projects like https://artblocks.io/project/78 (Art Blocks) to be unique and a valuable tool for creators. [16:36 – 18:38] Created the MOCA token with the hopes to counter the traditional top-down approach in the arts and culture. Traditional sources of power generally push culture down but with crypto we have the opportunity to push people up. In this https://newrepublic.com/article/79269/high-and-popular-culture (fight against high culture) you have folk heroes of crypto like https://twitter.com/XCOPYART?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (XCOPY) who is working in a hyper contemporary style and whose work provides social critique. [19:12 – 21:35] Looking towards what happens when people are done collecting, Colborn has projects like the https://museumofcryptoart.com/collection/ (Genesis Collection). Views the MOCA Member's Pass as a metaverse passport; a way for people to express their identity. Concerned with how to build a living history and interested in helping people curate within their own collection. [21:49 – 24:42] The metaverse as a global internet community; a social overlay that isn't constrained by physical reality. Sees MOCA as a space for the public good where people can get together. AI can be a powerful tool for connecting people but we need to look out for profit-driven experiences that we are using for social connections (i.e., Facebook,...

Interview with Deeze, find his twitter https://twitter.com/DeezeFi (DeezeFi) and his project https://fractional.art/ (Fractional) Time Stamps [1:03 – 2:59] In 2017 Deeze was involved in crypto and had made some money through altcoins but didn't know what an NFT was. By 2020 gets his own wallet, in September after the uniswap run he bought his first NFT. Recognized the value system at play with https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks (Punks) and started to go down the rabbit-hole of NFTs. [3:40 - 6:14] Punks: Deeze used to trade in order to make money and afford the ones he really wanted. Noting how much money he was able to make off flipping Punks made him realize that he should focus on trading NFTs instead of just crypto.  Trading Punks is different now. Before you could sit in https://discord.gg/6kssQptQS3 (larvavalabs discord,) watch the bot, and act off gut feeling. Now there are external bots that will always act before you can. In order to make money now you have to think on a longer time frame of holding then selling in a few months or more.  [6:43 – 10:09] Deeze knew he was going to leave his normal job but made the leap once joining the https://fractional.art/ (Fractional) team. The main function of fractional.art is turning an ERC 721 or an NFT into ERC 20 tokens which are tradable and usable. Project took off when https://twitter.com/pleasrdao?lang=en (PleasrDAO) managed to get ahold of some of the original doge meme pictures taken by https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/interviews/chatting-with-atsuko-sato-the-owner-of-the-internets-favorite-shiba-inu-doge (Atsuko Sato). PleasrDAO had the idea of fractionalizing it as a way to give back to the community. Doge meme serves as a good example of how fractionalization can change collecting.  [10:35 - 14:09] Fractional ownership feels better for Deeze. The market can be hard to access; more known projects are too expensive and lesser known ones too unpredictable. Factional NFTs help get people access to https://twitter.com/DeezeFi/status/1435992252325711879 (blue-chips). [14:47 – 18:14] There are other fractional projects out there but they each have their own styles and mechanisms. The market will decide what works best. Fractional is working with https://www.partybid.app/about (PartyBid). Deeze sees that a one-on-one in group ownership is going to be the way it goes instead of edition sizes. Editions are a set price and with partybid you can join with as little as you like. It just makes sense in both position allocation perspective and accessible buy-ins.  [18:14 -  23:13] Coming soon there will be different fractionalization options such as the ability to turn ERC 721s into editions themselves or 1155s that will be tradeable and displayable.  [23:32 – 26:55]  The learning process: Deeze didn't realize how different the NFT market could be from the altcoin market and 2018 served as a lesson in risk management. Shifting from thinking solely in ethereum to considering USD values has also been a learning experience.   [27:16 – 29:11] Deeze feels that the reason behind recent expansion and change in value is the combination between crypto natively rich and traditional art collectors, both going in and throwing down. This has also given rise to the popularity of generative art. https://twitter.com/artonblockchain?lang=en (Snowfro) had a strong role in this realization for Deeze. [29:28 – 34:35] When Deeze buys one-on-one art it's more for personal satisfaction and he probably wouldn't sell it whereas with almost any profile picture project he would. Sabretooth feels that profile pictures will hold their value and that they have renewed interest in portraiture. One-on-one artists are now adapting and rotating to collectibles. [34:35 – 39:58] Artists seem inspired by figures such as https://twitter.com/justinaversano?lang=en (Justin Aversano) who released his collection...

Episode 9 is my first face to face interview with a guest, everything being previously done on Zoom.

Seguimos con la misma línea de novelas de suspenso y ahora toca hablar de El Jardín de las Mariposas de la autora Dot Hutchison. Esta autora se describe a si misma con una escritora de novela juvenil. Lanzó esta novela en Junio de 2016 y es parte de una trilogía llamada: The Collectors Series. A los que gustan de los thrillers de asesinos seriales sin duda estarán enganchados a la historia; porque entrarán al mundo oscuro y retorcido de Hutchison. Donde se muestran violencias y abusos de distintas formas. Además Ana cuenta algunos tips de como lee tan rápido, esto debido a un comentario que nos llegó y que un escucha nos pide digamos como se realiza todo esto (bueno en realidad el beneficio es de Ana ya que Mixtega tiene otros métodos que ya ha comentado en episodios pasados). Y bien... ¿Que sucedió con la caja literaria? - Mixtega comenta al respecto, digamos se hará un tipo unboxing virtual. El Jardín de las Mariposas Serie: The Collector Trilogy (Libro 1) Páginas: 286 pages Editorial: Thomas & Mercer (June 1, 2016) Enlaces del episodio: Libro en Amazon Libro en iBooks Dot Hutchison Twitter Goodreads Serie recomendada: The Looming Tower
