(épisode enregistré le 8 septembre)C'est la Rentrée!!!!!Aujourd'hui nous revenons sur un marché crypto-NFT encore indécis, avec un Ethereum qui a enfin montré des signes de force face à Bitcoin. Brabus et Jérémy Le Bescont (désormais chez CoinShares) nous ont rejoint, pour nous partager leur vision quant à l'évolution du secteur.Les discussions portent sur :* Le marché NFT : forte activité autour de collections “consolidées” comme les CryptoPunks et l'art de XCopy, mais aussi un retour d'expositions physiques et de drops marquants (ArtBlocks, Jack Butcher).* L'essor de nouvelles plateformes comme Gondi ou Raster, qui amènent plus de liquidités et de financiarisation dans l'art digital.* Les PFP et tokens communautaires qui tractent le marché en liant NFT et produits réels (boissons, jouets), avec de gros partenariats et stratégies marketing.* OpenSea : lancement de nouveaux mécanismes de rewards et airdrops, avec l'enjeu de se relancer face à Magic Eden et Blur.En conclusion, un dynamisme retrouvé sur le secteur des NFT pendant l'été, entre art, finance et nouveaux modèles business, avec l'idée que le 4e trimestre 2025 pourrait être un vrai momentum.

Making a Scene - NFTs for Musicians: Beyond the HypeYou've heard the buzzword and seen the headlines. Here's the simple version, no tech talk. An NFT is a digital receipt that proves who owns a special version of something. That “something” can be your single, your album, a music video, a backstage pass, a signed vinyl voucher, or a bundle with all of the above. The receipt lives on a public database called a blockchain. Think of it like a global ledger that anyone can read but no one can secretly change. If a fan owns your NFT, the ledger shows it. If they transfer it to a friend, the ledger updates. That's it. Straightforward, public, and trackable. http://www.makingascene.org

Guest: Matthew Le Merle — CEO & Co-Founder of Blockchain Coinvestors, global blockchain VC, early investor in 1200+ startups (Coinbase, Kraken, OpenSea), author, and Silicon Valley board veteran. Background & Early Lessons: Matthew began his working life delivering newspapers as a child in rainy London, developing a lasting sense of responsibility and the importance of “seeing things through.” Earned a scholarship to Oxford for his academic and athletic excellence, then completed an MBA at Stanford. Built a career as a global advisor, executive, private equity leader, and later immersed himself in blockchain innovation. Blockchain Thesis: With 30+ years in Silicon Valley, Matthew saw the digital transformation of communication and content, but recognized a “missing link” for moving value securely over the internet. Blockchain/distributed ledger technology solved foundational challenges for digitizing finance — enabling secure, trustless, peer-to-peer transactions globally, overcoming flaws in traditional banking rails. Co-founded Blockchain Coinvestors, which invests via a fund-of-funds model across hundreds of VC funds and directly into more than 1,200 blockchain startups worldwide, spanning over 110 unicorns. Bitcoin's Future & Role: While he acknowledges that Bitcoin was a catalyst, Le Merle stresses it's the underlying technology's impact on payments, finance, and commerce that's world-changing. Believes Bitcoin (BTC) has enduring value as a store of value and “sovereign alternative” for people in unstable economies — sees it as “inevitable” that native digital finance will continue to grow globally. However, he notes BTC's long-term future depends on further technical evolution to enable faster, lower-cost, mass payments — real innovation will be when it is also digital money at global scale, not just a store of value. AI and the Arms Race: Sees both risk and opportunity in the intersection of blockchain, AI, and quantum computing: as threats emerge (e.g., AI-powered codebreaking), blockchain protocols must evolve, and the most secure blockchains—especially Bitcoin—will continue to improve. AI/quantum also unlocks new use cases (micro-payments, automated value flows) that legacy finance simply cannot address, making blockchain infrastructure and security ever more valuable. Venture Landscape & Defensibility: Le Merle's strategy: back the best VC fund managers, who in turn back top founders at the earliest stages, spreading risk and betting on the mavericks who build breakthrough companies. Warns that in AI (and other tech cycles), even groundbreaking startups can be displaced instantly by a new feature from a giant (e.g., OpenAI, Apple), so founders should build beyond “just a feature”—focus on defensible, deeply integrated solutions. Big Picture & What's Next: Digital assets, payments, and financial systems will become natively digital—blockchain is still in “early innings.” The best investment opportunities are at the convergence of Web3 and new agent/AI toolkits. Massive tech incumbents (Apple, Google, Microsoft) will keep acquiring—so both quick exits and rare breakout “escape velocity” stories are possible for top startups.
