MONAVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR EVENT FTW!!! After a string of critique heavy episodes, Rizzle and I decided to shift focus to the more positive side of crypto: namely having fun. Crypto has always been fun, if you knew where to look, especially around the end of the year holidays. Way back in 2019 and 2020 the NFT marketplace Mintbase threw legendary, month-long Advent Calendar events deep in the heart of CryptoVoxels. Crypto projects sponsored the event gifting tokens, art and NFTs. Amazing memories were made. Well this year (literally tomorrow December 1st) Rizzle & Monaverse are playing this back. A month-long Advent Calendar celebration will unfold daily in Monaverse. Stay tuned for the announcement tweets from Rizzle and Monaverse. This is part of a broader trend though that started back in 2018 and has continued until this very day: artists not giving a fuck and just doing their thing. That vibe is infectious and imho is responsible for everything fun in crypto. That's also the reason why I think that if you're not having fun you're doing crypto wrong.

The duality of life as half man, half cyborg, crypto and NFT insights with collective conscious artist Orrin

Musician and collective conscious cyborg Orrin, releases a new eco-friendly NFT album in collaboration with Mintbase Fascinating interview by Jamil. Orrin is a collective conscious and cyborg sent by a higher civilization to warn humans about the incoming apocalypse. Orrin was discovered by millions through a series of viral clips pulled from an episode of the Dr. Phil Show. Orrin's mother and sister, concerned about Orrin's realization, appeared with Orrin to seek help from Dr. Phil. Orrin's composure throughout the show, along with much of what is said throughout the episode, has hooked viewers, leading to thousands of jokes in the comment section of the video. So who is Orrin? Orrin graduated from NYU's Stern Business School with a 3.9 GPA, but everything changed following this. For the last couple of years, according to their mother, Orrin has claimed to be a music-making cyborg. Orrin is a collective, and therefore speaks using “we”, not “I”, a particular element of the Orrin persona that “borg” fans have gravitated towards. There are many notable quotes from the episode, such as “we are not hungry, thank you” and “we are not a fan of bananas, so we remove those,” which have drawn people further into Orrin's persona. Orrin seems to embrace these jokes without breaking character. Press release - We are very excited to announce the NFT collaboration between Mintbase and a cyborg from the future called Orrin. Orrin is choosing Mintbase and NEAR to deliver this message using a series of NFTs combined with the release of the cyborg's new album, MUTANT Thanks to its proof of stake consensus algorithm and collaboration to offset CO2 emissions, Mintbase is able to track and split royalties forever on a climate neutral chain. The NFTs include: Tier 1 - MUTANT album for $100 USD with bonus keychain and single 500 copies available Tier 2 - MUTANT merch bundle including a hat, shirt and screensaver for $50 USD 200 copies available Tier 3 - MUTANT keychains in blue, green, red, yellow and blue for $20 USD 100 copies available per colorway Each keychain comes with 2 songs from the album Collect all the keychains to get the “entire” album plus a special keychain Support Orrin and purchase his new NFT album - https://www.mintbase.io/store/orrin.mintbase1.near Listen to MUTANT on streaming when available - https://fanlink.to/mutant-orrin --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crypto-hipster-podcast/support

Musician and collective conscious cyborg Orrin, releases a new eco-friendly NFT album in collaboration with Mintbase Fascinating interview by Jamil. Orrin is a collective conscious and cyborg sent by a higher civilization to warn humans about the incoming apocalypse. Orrin was discovered by millions through a series of viral clips pulled from an episode of the Dr. Phil Show. Orrin's mother and sister, concerned about Orrin's realization, appeared with Orrin to seek help from Dr. Phil. Orrin's composure throughout the show, along with much of what is said throughout the episode, has hooked viewers, leading to thousands of jokes in the comment section of the video. So who is Orrin? Orrin graduated from NYU's Stern Business School with a 3.9 GPA, but everything changed following this. For the last couple of years, according to their mother, Orrin has claimed to be a music-making cyborg. Orrin is a collective, and therefore speaks using “we”, not “I”, a particular element of the Orrin persona that “borg” fans have gravitated towards. There are many notable quotes from the episode, such as “we are not hungry, thank you” and “we are not a fan of bananas, so we remove those,” which have drawn people further into Orrin's persona. Orrin seems to embrace these jokes without breaking character. Press release - We are very excited to announce the NFT collaboration between Mintbase and a cyborg from the future called Orrin. Orrin is choosing Mintbase and NEAR to deliver this message using a series of NFTs combined with the release of the cyborg's new album, MUTANT Thanks to its proof of stake consensus algorithm and collaboration to offset CO2 emissions, Mintbase is able to track and split royalties forever on a climate neutral chain. The NFTs include: Tier 1 - MUTANT album for $100 USD with bonus keychain and single 500 copies available Tier 2 - MUTANT merch bundle including a hat, shirt and screensaver for $50 USD 200 copies available Tier 3 - MUTANT keychains in blue, green, red, yellow and blue for $20 USD 100 copies available per colorway Each keychain comes with 2 songs from the album Collect all the keychains to get the “entire” album plus a special keychain Support Orrin and purchase his new NFT album - https://www.mintbase.io/store/orrin.mintbase1.near Listen to MUTANT on streaming when available - https://fanlink.to/mutant-orrin Jamil Hasan is a Generation X Author and experienced data intelligence technology builder with two decades of experience leading data-based teams at Fortune 100 companies, including AIG, Prudential Financial, and Ingersoll Rand. Jamil believes that skill and experience, not just age, is the most important factor required to build and lead corporate organizations. His unique story, as someone on the ground floor of the 2008 financial crisis and his role to help repay the $180 billion AIG bailout, enabled him to come face-to-face with many of the societal ills facing Generation X today and their causes. As the result of his experience, Jamil has developed a path forward for his fellow Gen Xers to restore his generation's financial standing in society today and to rebuild the American Dream for Generation X.

Carolin Wend, Co-founder of Mintbase.io NFTs are not just about art. Into this exploding field comes estalished player, Mintbase, with ambitions to rethink NFTs. Just as we get our heads around the concept of digital art NFTs then another cargo-load of applications arrives to really fry the brains. So let's begin at the beginning shall we? Carolin Wend joined me from sunny Lisbon to go through some of the basics. First up, NFTs themselves or non-fungible tokens. “There are two types of tokens, fungible and non-fungible. Fungible for example is like a dollar or a euro. It's exchangeable ‘like for like.' In addition, it's tangible so you can break it down and swap one dollar for two 50cent pieces. “On the other hand, a non-fungible token is something unique and which cannot be broken into two pieces. An example might be a birth certificate or a title to a house. It might also be a ticket, a song or anything except money. Anything in this world can be an NFT – it's the new standard of technology – it's like an open API.” NFTs first came to prominence with digital art. Finally, artists were able to share their art online showing not only provenance but also delivering a unique art piece – one that could not be copied as the original was backed with an NFT. “We quickly realised that there were other applications for NFT. We organised NFT ticketing for an event in Berlin called MetaCartel Demo Day with non-fungible tokens or ticketing. Every ticket was an NFT.

One can mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) using Mintbase, which represent scarce digital goods like artwork. Artists using Mintbase, especially in virtual NFT worlds like Cryptovoxels, can issue traceable, limited edition digital art, as well as other items such as tickets for virtual events. While DeFi has been at the forefront of attention in Ethereum, few understand how much growth NFTs are seeing on Ethereum. For example, SuperRare, a leading digital art marketplace, started in 2020 with $344,000 in platform sales volume which has quadrupled to over $1.6m according to Messari Crypto.
