How do Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs, impact value and the future of all things digital? How are they different from--and similar to--blockchain? Jaime Schwarz joins Russ White and Tom Ammon to talk about what NFTs are, how they work, and how they might impact the future.
One of the crucial ideas in finance is that markets are efficient – that they fully reflect all available information. If so, what about market bubbles?Over the last year, people have been willing to pay exorbitant amounts for extremely odd assets such as Non-Fungible Tokens, meme stocks etc. Why do they do this?This lecture will explore some investors' systematic behavioural biases, and how these can be used to predict returns.This lecture was recorded by Raghavendra Rau on 10th June 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonThe transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/market-efficiencyGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which allow individuals to own their digital assets and move them from place to place, are changing the interaction between consumers and digital goods, brands, and platforms. Harvard Business School professor Scott Duke Kominers and tech entrepreneur Steve Kaczynski discuss the case, “Bored Ape Yacht Club: Navigating the NFT World,” and the related book they co-authored, The Everything Token: How NFTs and Web3 Will Transform The Way We Buy, Sell, And Create. They focus on the rise and popularity of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and the new model of brand building created by owning those tokens.

Financial literacy includes understanding NFT's, DeFi, and cryptocurrency. But it's hard to separate education from hype. Harvard Business School's Scott Duke Kominers, a professor in Harvard's Entrepreneurial Management Unit, and a Faculty Affiliate of the Harvard Department of Economics and the Harvard Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, joins us alongside Web3 expert Steve Kacizinsky to explain the financial, technological and social significance of NFT's. NFT's, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are a rapidly growing digital asset. Comprehensive financial literacy requires understanding NFT's. While NFT's are emerging opportunity for investment diversification, they are also highly speculative and volatile. NFT's also represent how digital ownership is evolving, and have implications for the economic futures of a myriad of industries. These assets stand at the intersection of art, technology and commerce. This episode provides a deeper understanding of NFT's, taught by a Harvard Business School professor and a Web3 expert.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Yannick Mayer, COO und Co-Founder von Eternalyst, über Non-Fungible Tokens, deren Akzeptanz in der Bevölkerung und in den Medien sowie über deren Zukunftsaussicht.Eternalyst handelt digitale Kunst, die auf der Blockchain in Form von Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) gespeichert ist. Mittlerweile versteigern, besitzen und stellen weltbekannte Akteure, wie die Auktionshäuser Christie's und Sotheby's sowie die Kunsthäuser Museum of Modern Art und die Saatchi Gallery, digitale Kunstwerke aus. Das Startup bietet auf der Grundlage von jahrzehntelanger Erfahrung professionelle Kuration von digitalen Kunstwerken und Kunstsammlungen an. Darüber hinaus hat das Unternehmen eine Expertise im Bereich Blockchain und sorgt für eine sichere Verwahrung digitaler Kunst nach höchsten Sicherheitsstandards. Außerdem gehören die Durchführung sämtlicher Transaktionen, Verwahrung der Zugangs-Codes, Versicherung der Sammlung sowie Performance-Updates zu dem Lösungsportfolio des Unternehmens. Eternalyst wurde im Jahr 2022 von Yannick Mayer, Lucas Pirker und Robert Seyfert in Vaduz gegründet. Das Liechtensteiner Startup hat bereits eine Vielzahl von Kunstsammelnden, Investierenden und Galerien von seinem Service überzeugt. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist es, die zentrale Anlaufstelle für die Bewertung, Kuration, Kauf, Verkauf und die Verwahrung digitaler Kunst zu werden.Digitale Kunst und die damit in Verbindung gebrachten NFTs waren in der Vergangenheit oft Gegenstand negativer Berichterstattungen, in der sie als hochspekulativ und wertlos beschrieben wurden. NFTs sind ein dezentrales Speichermedium, das die Blockchain-Technologie nutzt. Der Kunstwert wird dabei durch das auf dem NFT gespeicherte Werk bestimmt. Viele der negativen Berichterstattungen sind auf NFT-Projekte zurückzuführen, die Bilder und Kunstwerke in Form von NFTs mit geringem Wert veröffentlichten. Im Gegensatz dazu steht eine steigende Anzahl etablierter Künstlerinnen und Künstler, die digitale Kunst entdecken und nutzen. Durch die Speicherung in Form eines NFT auf der Blockchain ist digitale Kunst zudem nachverfolgbar, authentifizierbar und einzigartig.

Welcome to Chain Reaction. A podcast that unpacks and dives deep into the latest trends, drama and news in crypto with some of the biggest names in the industry to break things down block by block for the crypto curious. For this week's episode, Jacquelyn interviewed Maria Shen, a general partner on the investment team at Electric Capital, an early stage venture firm focused on crypto, blockchain, fintech and marketplaces. Before Electric Capital, Maria was the CTO and co-founder of a startup Bambify that helped small to medium-sized businesses create more efficient supply chains with manufacturers globally. Prior to that, she worked at Microsoft. In March 2022, the firm announced that it closed $1 billion for a pair of crypto funds – a $400 million vehicle for making equity investments in startups and a $600 million fund intended to invest directly in crypto tokens. Its website currently showcases a portfolio with about 75 investments with crypto startups like Magic Eden, ConsenSys and Bitwise, to name a few. More recently, Electric Capital put out a report that showed the number of blockchain developers in the U.S. has declined every year since 2017, dropping to 29% last year from 40% in 2017. We dove into what that report really means and how it will affect the growth of developers domestically and internationally. We discussed what crypto sectors Maria is watching for investments, why she's betting big on NFTs and the general venture capital market sentiment.

Today, it has grown into one of the largest NFT marketplaces with over 8,000 collections, about $3 billion in NFT transactions and 22 million unique monthly visitors.

Welcome to Chain Reaction. A show that unpacks and dives deep into the latest trends, drama and news with some of the biggest names in crypto breaking things down block by block for the crypto curious. For this week's episode, Jacquelyn interviewed Emin Gün Sirer, the founder and CEO of Ava Labs. Ava Labs created the layer-1 blockchain Avalanche, a platform that lets developers build Solidity-compatible multi-functional blockchains and dApps with a focus on speed and low transaction costs. Hundreds of projects are a part of the Avalanche ecosystem, ranging from decentralized exchanges like 1inch to digital asset security firms like BitGo.

The Real Estate InvestHER Show with Elizabeth Faircloth and Andresa Guidelli
Technology is taking more relevance in fields that we never thought it would. One of those is real estate, and Leslie Alessandra took the opportunity right away as being the first woman to ever sold a home in the US using NFT technology. Now, this amazing entrepreneur and expert in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency has co-founded and is the CEO of DeFi Unlimited, a cryptocurrency business committed to creating products and software that ease the barrier of entry into the crypto space for businesses and facilitate B2B crypto transactions. She is a Florida native who actively invests in both real estate and cryptocurrency and believes in the benefits of blockchain technology for both industry efficiency and humanitarian causes. Leslie previously worked for the federal government, where she was first exposed to this innovative technology. Seeing the benefits of the crypto industry, she decided to leave her government position and pursue a career in entrepreneurship and philanthropy. Her purpose and passion are to help children and families in need around the globe. She has traveled internationally supporting the abolishment of child sex trafficking and has helped provide medical care to rural areas. Leslie currently spends her time residing between St. Petersburg and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. In this episode of The Real Estate InvestHER Show, we're going to learn about her views, her achievements using blockchain technology, and her vision of the future of the Real Estate industry. Quotes· “I think I'm learning now in my older age to start to say no. And really working, diligently, for that work-life balance.” (07:33 - 07:43)· “The real power of NFTs comes in other types of utility, especially when we're talking about industries and actually revolutionizing industries. You can empower an NFT to provide access, to provide membership, they can be used for marketing, they can be used to hold ownership rights.” (11:20 - 11:46)· “Once I started to understand the real power behind blockchain, it was like your mind just starts to expand and, all the light bulbs start going off. (12:41 - 12:53)· “I think the biggest power of blockchain for not only the real estate industry but in so many industries are efficiency and protection against fraud”. (20:04 - 21:13)· “The great thing about NFTs and blockchain […] It's transparency. It's immutable”. (28:26 – 28:37)· “And [to me] that lesson was you hire out the things you're not the strongest at, and you focus on what you are strong at. […] You know, you focus on that and that's kind of like that sausage-making part of any entrepreneurial endeavor (36:18 - 36:35) Connect with Leslie:Website: https://defiunlimitedllc.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/defiunlimitedFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/defiunlimited/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/defiunlimited Resources Mentioned: ● TREI's Strive Membership!● Web3Collab.org (Formerly Crypto Pro Café)● DeFi Unlimited● CryptosRUs● Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T.

I first learned of her when I listened to her comments on Stephen Dubner's Freakonomics podcast. Her analysis of cryptocurrency was the most cogent I'd ever heard of, so I asked Stephen for an introduction, and here we are today.
It pays to think critically about claims folks make about technology. In this episode, we look at how the sunk cost fallacy can lead people to make very bad decisions, how cryptocurrency resembles an MLM and how to temper enthusiasm for tech with careful consideration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs, have captured the attention of thousands over the past few weeks and months. This technology's use has encompassed various forms of digital art such as the popular depictions of cartoon apes. But, one country has begun looking beyond NFT's use as a digital asset toward using it for the creation of a more centralized and restrictive internet ecosystem.Lawfare fellow in cybersecurity law Alvaro Marañon sat down with Yaya Fanusie, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, to speak about the China government's vision for the next iteration of the internet. Yaya is an expert on the national security implications of cryptocurrencies and recently has written Lawfare posts analyzing China's NFT and national digital currency initiatives. They broke down an NFT and the other technical acronyms, what the Chinese government's aspirations are with its national blockchain project, and what the strategic risk to nation-states is if China can implement its technological vision.
