De blockchain van de TON-coin, een munt die ontwikkeld werd op initiatief van Telegram, heeft het zwaar. De afgelopen dagen kwam het netwerk twee keer stil te liggen door een populaire airdrop. Deze DOGS-coin zorgde voor flink wat activiteit op de blockchain, waarna meerdere uren helemaal niets meer mogelijk was. Inmiddels lijken de problemen zijn opgelost, maar ook het netwerk van TON lijkt sneller dan gedacht aan zijn limiet te zitten. De munt verloor deze week zo'n 20% van zijn waarde, door de arrestatie van Pavel Durov. Mogelijk vrezen beleggers dat Telegram nadrukkelijker in het vizier van de regelgever is komen te liggen. Ook is er ophef rond Binance. Het handelsplatform ligt onder vuur omdat het alle Palestijnse klanten van het platform geweerd zou hebben. Zelf ontkennen ze dat en ook journalisten in de regio schetsen een genuanceerder beeld. Binance zelf zegt dat er een aantal accounts gesloten zijn, die in verband konden worden gebracht met terroristische activiteiten. Andere berichten bevestigen wel degelijk dat klanten uit Gaza geen toegang meer hebben tot hun munten. Én één van de meest gehate personen op het internet, Martin Skhreli, heeft het aan de stok met een cryptobedrijf. Skhreli werd ooit berucht door het kopen van de rechten van een medicijn, om vervolgens de prijs met een factor 30 te verhogen. Dat werd hem niet in dank afgenomen, maar hij werd er wel rijk van. Van dat geld kocht hij onder meer het album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, van de Amerikaanse rapgroep Wu-Tang Clan. Dat album heeft géén digitale uitgave en slechts één fysiek exemplaar. Voordat Skhreli de gevangenis in moest vanwege fraude, maakte hij nog wel snel kopietjes van het album. Onlangs livestreamde hij de muziek nog op X. Inmiddels is het album in handen van PleasrDAO, die het album via een slimme blockchainconstructie beschikbaar willen maken voor iedereen. Dat Skhreli zijn eigen kopietjes nog had, vond men bij PleasrDAO niet kunnen en daar gaat de rechter nu in mee. Deze week in de Cryptocast Met tech-jurist Menno Weij analyseren we berichtenapp Telegram. De arrestatie van Pavel Durov zorgt ook voor een schokgolf in de cryptowereld. Niet alleen omdat Telegram erg populair is bij cryptoliefhebbers, maar ook omdat de arrestatie van Durov veel stof op doet waaien. Doet Frankrijk hier een aanval op de vrijheid van meningsuiting? TON staat stil Gedoe rond Binance en Palestijnse klanten Martin Skhreli en het zeldzame album Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de toestand van de crypto.

David is joined by Leighton Cusack and Matt Metkov, two members of PleasrDAO, the organization that owns and is releasing the Wu-Tang Album. The Wu-Tang Clan created a unique album, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin,” to combat music's devaluation in the digital age. It was bought by Martin Shkreli in 2015, who later lost it due to a fraud conviction. In 2021, PleasrDAO, a crypto collective, purchased the album to restore its value and make it accessible to the public, promoting fairer digital ownership in the Web3 era.

Purchased for $2 million in 2015 by Pharma-Bro Martin Shkreli, the album was seized by the government in 2018 when Shkreli was convicted of securities fraud. The album was auctioned yet again in 2021 by the U.S. Justice Department to the NFT collectors PleasrDAO (Crypto-Bros). The binding original purchasing agreement stipulated that the album could not be commercially exploited until 2103. PleasrDAO, whose stated purpose is to honor "anti-establishment rebels" and wishing to return the music to the people, has been selling shares of the album as NFTs. PleasrDAO has stated that each share of the album sold would reduce the album's release by 88 seconds. Jay had to get in on this…and he brings us a clip of the album to play.Songs:Hermanos Gutiérrez - “Barrio Hustle”Wu-Tang Clan - clip from Once Upon a Time in Shaolin

To the outside world, cryptocurrency is that part of the internet where you can lose money to scams and rugpulls. It's where some YouTuber tells you about a token called PAMP or SAFEMOON that is about to PUMP 1000x and YOU NEED TO BUY RIGHT NOW TO GET ON THE ROCKETSHIP. Isn't that what crypto is? Bankless readers are aware that this is not the case. Bankless sees cryptocurrency as a land of opportunity, a new frontier, a digital world built on free and open-source software that allows us to break free from the Wall Street and Silicon Valley institutions that have enslaved us. So, why do most people believe cryptocurrency is full of scams? And why do people keep coming to learn about it if it's full of scams? What piques their interest? Or is cryptocurrency just a big con? Today's article introduces my "Concentric Circles of the Crypto Industry" model, which explains why so many people outside of the crypto industry believe it is a scam. This mental model can help crypto-newcomers navigate the Dark Forest of crypto with a little more ease, and with a little more understanding of the types of people you find in crypto — which ones to pay attention to, and which ones to avoid. There are four concentric circles. A set of four concentric circles is my model for who makes up the crypto industry. The Core Devs are in the centre, with the rest of the world on the outside and the Crypto Believers and Grifters in the centre. * The Core Developers. * Crypto enthusiasts. * The swindlers. * The remainder of the world. Core Developers Let's begin in the middle. The Core Devs are the architects and philosophers who are constructing this industry from the ground up. They have a thorough understanding of the world's current problems, how cryptography and blockchain technology can help to solve them, and the radical implications for the future. They understand the philosophy, code, and moral good that this technology has the potential to bring to the world. This is what we mean by "crypto values." In this circle, you'll find Satoshi Nakomoto, the Bitcoin's anonymous creator, who birthed the Bitcoin blockchain before slowly disappearing into the internet because he knew Bitcoin would be better without a leader. Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, is also present. Vitalik is a digital monk, a master of cryptography, philosophy, math, and, of course, crypto-economics. Vitalik aspires to create public goods and social systems that benefit the entire world. Even though he is extremely wealthy, he has been known to sleep in hostels and live out of a single backpack in order to avoid consuming more resources than he requires. He is a crypto-monk for the modern era. Working as a Core Dev can be a thankless task. Building open-source software is frequently under-appreciated and compensated in proportion to the value it adds to the world. Every day, Bitcoin Core developers work to improve Bitcoin. Every week, Ethereum core developers meet in public to discuss what to work on next and what society needs from the foundations they're laying. These people are here because they believe in the mission, see a brighter future ahead, and want to help build it. The Core Devs are the purists at the heart of the cryptocurrency universe, and their leadership creates the ultimate gravitational pull. These are the revolutionaries with good hearts and sound minds, and they are fighting for a cryptographic-power future... and they're all huge nerds in the best way possible. We are here to help them... and they are here to help us. Believers in cryptocurrency The Crypto Believers are the next to speak up. These are the users of crypto power. These people believe in the same future that the Core Devs do, and they live on the foundations that the Core Devs have laid. However, this circle is not limited to users! Application developers, DAO members, and businesses are all creating interwoven layers of products and services based on these new protocols. Ethereum is a protocol around which we all organise. Apps like Uniswap, Aave, and Maker are built with smart contracts on the Ethereum app layer. Ethereum is used to organise DAOs such as BanklessDAO, PleasrDAO, and even Constitution DAO. Companies such as venture funds, news agencies, and media companies, such as Bankless, also organise around Ethereum. This circle is populated by locals rather than tourists. These are crypto citizens who are constructing structures in this new frontier, testing products in their early stages, gradually becoming bankless by managing their money and property on crypto rails, and creating new digital identities for themselves. These settlers have come to live in an open and free metaverse that has been built with open-source software and the open-source ethos. These are people like Rune Christensen, who saw the need for a decentralised dollar and developed the MakerDAO vision... Before DAOs even existed! Now, billions of DAI exist to escape the mismanagement of their government's currency. Or Hayden Adams, who built Uniswap, a public and free asset exchange system, entirely on his own after learning to code and with the help of a $10,000 grant from the Ethereum Foundation. The values built into the base level protocols by the Core Devs are expressed in the applications built on top of them at this layer of cryptography. Then there are people like Cami Russo, who lived in Argentina and saw firsthand how the Argentine Peso's hyperinflation created demand for crypto-related products. DAI, the crypto-native stablecoin, has seen widespread adoption in Argentina because it is the only tool available to Argentines to avoid 50-100% inflation rates. Cami studied journalism and founded the media publication The Defiant after becoming crypto-pilled. Another of my favourite crypto believers is Anthony Sassano. He creates a video in which he informs the world about what has occurred in the Ethereum ecosystem in the last 24 hours. Every single day. This is the layer of cryptocurrency that broadcasts the industry's progress. Because they are focused on building the future, protocol core developers and application builders are not very good at marketing themselves. To accomplish this, the crypto industry relies on the surrounding community. And this surrounding community exists only because we are all here for the same reasons: the belief that cryptocurrency is here to help build a better and more free world... and that it is a necessary step for humanity's future progress. This is the world of cryptocurrency that many people do not see or understand. And one of the main reasons for this is that the Crypto Grifters keep it separate from the rest of the world. Crypto swindlers There is an obstacle course between crypto believers and the rest of the world... an asteroid belt of Crypto Grifters who make it difficult to hear the signal coming from the crypto industry's true spearhead Grifters are loud, self-aggrandizing, and arrogant. They use polarising tactics and styles that have proven to be effective in politics. Crypto swindlers aren't stupid; they know there's a lot of money to be made on the crypto frontier... and they're here to take advantage of it. To save money. To take shortcuts and the easy way out. They will sell you fool's gold while stealing your money. Crypto swindlers are the reason crypto has a bad reputation. They're louder and more bombastic than regular cryptocurrency users. They promote themselves more than they develop technology. They frequently don't care about the technology they are developing; all they care about is making money from it, regardless of how sustainable or ethical it is. Crypto Grifters purposefully create malicious products in order to catch the next inexperienced crypto noob. They set up paid Telegram channels to share "alpha," but instead just dump on you. They create complicated DeFi projects that, if you fall into their traps, merely transfer money from your pocket to theirs. Most Grifters appear in bull markets and imitate what's popular at the time. In 2017, they created fake ICOs, and in 2021, they created low-effort NFT projects with Fiver. Wherever there's a profit to be made, the Grifters smell it and rush in, ready to grift. Crypto swindlers share a few characteristics: An egotistical personality... someone who is large, bombastic, and can be a bully at times. A small, but highly engaging and manic community forms around these people, a kind of personality cult. They recite the messages, say the lines, and shill a token. They are the classic mix of humans and bots that we've come to recognise in the world of modern social media. A product or system that is fundamentally unsustainable... even if it does not appear to be so at the time. A gleaming new crypto product that simply does not make sense under the hood... and eventually has a date with fate. Mashinsky, Alex Alex Mashinsky founded and ran Celsius, a custodial borrowing and lending service. A centralised company that accepted customers' crypto-assets and paid them high interest rates for their deposits. This is a typical business, and it is known as a bank. And there are many legitimate crypto products and services that do this. Mashinsky, on the other hand, carried the DeFi banner and boasted about how DeFi will bring down the Banks. But he did build a bank! Celsius accepted customer deposits, used completely reckless and leveraged risky trading strategies, and gambled away other people's money. Sesta, Daniel The Wonderland ecosystem was built by Daniele Sesta. An army of Pepe Frog accounts trailed Sesta around the internet, swarming him wherever he went. You name it: cryptocurrency Twitter, YouTube comments, livestream chat boxes... They invaded and infested the digital spaces where crypto-people spend their time, as well as our minds, because they were so goddamn loud. This strategy has been used before, both inside and outside of crypto, but when money is at stake, these internet armies can become deafening. Anyway, Wonderland collapsed when people realised that an unbacked stablecoin is just an obfuscated ponzi scheme, and also when one of the project's anonymous co-founders was revealed to be Michael Patryn, a convicted money launderer and co-founder of the QuadringaCX exchange, the one with the mysterious death of the founder, after the exchange became insolvent. Kwon Do Then there was Do Kwon, Terra's eccentric and aggressive founder. The largest capital destruction event in crypto history, with $50 billion in capital destroyed. The Terra ecosystem abruptly lost all of its incoming money flows, revealing itself to be an unsustainable structure... ...which, in retrospect, appears to be a massive Ponzi scheme. Do Kwon, like Sesta, had a massive army of self-described "Lunatics." Ryan and I were extremely sceptical of the Terra Luna project, and when we voiced our concerns and dissatisfaction, we were harassed on Twitter by these raving lunatics. Do Kwon's actions made this possible. As Terra pumped, Do Kwon became louder and more aggressive on Twitter, rallying his followers. When Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz got a Terra Luna tattoo on his arm, Ryan responded on Twitter, "This makes me question everything I know about crypto," to which Do Kwon snarkily replied, "Don't worry, it wasn't much." And there are a lot of other swindlers out there. Richard Heart — f#@k him. BitBoy is the Alex Jones of cryptocurrency. Under this narrative, Ripple Labs — which markets XRP currency as a "inter-bank exchange currency" — funds itself by dumping XRP on retail investors. The list of deceptions continues. Do we have to put up with the swindlers? Both yes and no. We can't directly stop the swindlers. That's the deal we make when we prioritise permission-lessness above all else. Access for all is a core value that cannot be compromised. Crypto, like the internet, does not require permission to use... It's a money and finance public utility that anyone with an internet connection can use. And as the financial world of DeFi grows and improves organically as more people use it, these public utilities become more useful over time. Unfortunately, the same property of permission lessness makes it extremely difficult to stop grifters from grifting. Permission-less financial innovation enables us — you and me — to break free from the financial prisons erected by banks and Wall Street, but it also makes it difficult to prevent others from making unethical money. We can't stop them, but we don't have to live with them. We combat them through education. As an industry, we must improve our ability to reach the masses before the swindlers do. Massive marketing campaigns that use grandiose and bombastic tactics are difficult to compete with. Understanding what makes this industry tick is more difficult than simply listening to some charismatic individual telling you to buy their token. The good news is that most people today have a basic instinct to avoid spam emails and viruses on the internet. Crypto will eventually be no different. Bankless is here to confront the swindlers and ensure that the good being built here is communicated to the rest of the world, so that the rest of the world knows that Crypto is here to set you free... and that we despise swindlers just as much as you do. We're Going West Since the dawn of cryptocurrency, the Grifters have always managed to find the crypto noobs' ears and eyes and sell them snake oil before the crypto believers could. They're difficult to fight because they're aggressive and hungry, and they have to grift better than their fellow swindlers... because only the best swindlers triumph. In crypto, we use the metaphor of 'Going West' at Bankless. Going into the unknown... into the frontier. In search of new opportunities and new horizons. There's money to be made out here, and we all want to get rich while we work together to develop this new land. And as you travel westward, you may come across bandits. Highwaymen. Traps. Thugs. They rob you and make your life difficult. However, if you know how to identify the signals, you can avoid them. The best way to conquer the crypto frontier is to work together. As a whole. That is why we created the Bankless Nation, a collective group of westward-moving individuals who have all hitched their waggons together, so that we can teach each other the tricks and tips to making big in crypto while avoiding the traps and scammers. Cryptocurrency is risky. You may lose what you have invested. We're not for everyone, but we're going west. This is the limit. It's not for everyone, but we're glad you're along for the ride.

Our guest in this episode is curator, author, and educator Ana Devic. She is best known as a member of the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW). Formed in 1999, WHW is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies.Ana Devic is also in charge of the international study program for young artists called WHW Akademija based in Zagreb. With Ana, we'll further our exploration into other modes of engaging with artistic practice and hear about other possibilities, within and through art and politics. Her take on collectivity, as a spark rather than a value in and of itself; her emphasis on encounters and accessibility, and formal and informal modes of learning were really thought-provoking.EPISODE NOTES AND LINKSThis episode's conversation is part of the collaborative project ‘Communities of Learning, Bridging the Gap of Isolation', initiated by WHW and supported by the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation.Ana Devic is a curator, writer, and teacher Ana Dević and a member of the curatorial collective What, How and from Whom (WHW). https://www.whw.hr/novosti/index.html#Formed in 1999, the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW) is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies. They were one of the pioneer groups who were influential in saving curatorial practice from going obsolete in a moment in which author curators (often white and male) reluctant to operate in plural forms were dominating the field of contemporary art. It's members are Ivet Ćurlin, Ana Dević, Nataša Ilić, Sabina Sabolović and designer and publicist Dejan Kršić. Based in Zagreb, WHW Academija is an international study program for young artists. The tuition-free academy takes up to 12 fellows per year intending to work on new forms of self-determination based on modes of critical reflection, curiosity, and encounters among artists, artworks, arts professionals, scholars, and practitioners.

Nesta edição do podcast Crypto Storm, Lucca Benedetti, Valter Alencar e Narriman Silva comentam eventos históricos da semana, relativos às organizações autônomas descentralizadas (DAOs, na sigla em inglês). Como forma de contextualizar o ouvinte e o leitor, Lucca explica que as DAOs são como empresas descentralizadas, em que tudo é definido e realizado pelo código estabelecido na organização. Além disso, as DAOs são usadas como modelo de coordenar recursos para determinado objetivo, como meio de reunir a colaboração humana de maneira descentralizada. Em seguida, os apresentadores comentam sobre a DAO que obteve destaque nesta semana: a ConstitutionDAO. A proposta dos organizadores dessa comunidade era arrecadar fundos para poder participar do leilão realizado pela Sotheby's de uma cópia rara da Constituição dos Estados Unidos. Segundo Valter, a DAO estava angariando fundos na rede Ethereum para a participação no leilão. No entanto, após a finalização do leilão, ocorrido no dia 18 de novembro, a ConstitutionDAO não conseguiu adquirir a cópia, que foi vendida por US$ 43,2 milhões. Apesar de a organização ter perdido o leilão, o financiamento colaborativo (“crowdfunding”) de mais de US$ 30 milhões, feito pela comunidade em menos de uma semana, foi o maior já registrado, tanto em criptomoeda como em moeda fiduciária. Os apresentadores comentam que, apesar de não ser considerado uma oportunidade enquanto investimento, o atrativo da DAO era justamente oferecer a chance de participação em um evento histórico, como foi o leilão da cópia da Constituição americana. Na sequência, os apresentadores comentam como a descentralização poderá tornar as ações em plataformas resistentes à censura, a qual pode acontecer em sites e plataformas centralizadas com termos e condições próprias. Quanto a isso, Lucca comenta que plataformas de tokens não fungíveis (NFTs) descentralizadas podem tornar o trabalho de artistas mais livre e possibilita que estes tenham contato mais amplo e direto com seus fãs e com a comunidade. Os apresentadores lembram também de um outro caso recente: a venda do álbum do grupo musical Wu-Tang Clan, produzido pelos próprios membros, como um tipo de resposta ao modelo da indústria da música, em que grandes gravadoras ficavam com a maior parte do valor relativo à venda dos discos. Esse álbum do conjunto musical tinha somente uma cópia, que, ao longo dos anos, foi leiloada, mas acabou sendo adquirida pelo polêmico Martin Shkreli. No entanto, Shkreli foi preso e seus pertences, incluindo o álbum do Wu-Tang Clan, tiveram de ser vendidos para ajudar no pagamento das multas. Com isso, outra organização autônoma descentralizada, a PleasrDAO, arrecadou fundos para adquirir o álbum no leilão, o que de fato conseguiu. Após ter adquirido o álbum, a comunidade por trás da organização decidiu por um meio de distribuir o álbum para que mais pessoas pudessem ter acesso. Os apresentadores ressaltam que essa é a potência trazida pelo mundo cripto, pois estabelece um meio de conectar pessoas por meio de um código, no qual não é preciso confiar no indivíduo do outro lado, mas sim no código da rede. Por fim, Valter ressalta que, quanto mais pessoas usam cripto, mais o setor será consolidado, tanto em protocolos de pagamentos como em protocolos de Web 3.0 e contratos autônomos. Aperte o play para conferir mais sobre as DAOs, o mercado cripto e como a descentralização pode mudar o futuro do mundo tradicional.

Знаменитый альбом группировки Wu-Tang Clan "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" выкуплен криптовалютной патформой PleasrDAO. Альбом был записан Кланом 7 лет назад в знак протеста против обесценивания музыки в эпоху цифровых технологий. До последнего времени единственная копия пластинки, записанной в 2015 году, принадлежал скандально известному предпринимателю и "фармацевту" Мартину Шкрели, а после его заключения в тюрьму была конфискована правительством и в июле 2021 года была продана с государственного аукциона, чтобы покрыть долги Шкрели перед правительством США. На момент продажи имя покупателя не разглашалось. PleasrDAO приобрела альбом за криптуовалюту - сделка эквивалентна сумме в 4 миллиона долларов, но поскольку правительство не считает криптовалюту реальными деньгами, покупка была осуществлена через посредника. PleasrDAO ранее покупала цифровые предметы коллекционирования, связанные со скандальной российской группой Pussy Riot и Эдвардом Сноуденом, и компания считает, что «Once Upon a Time in Shaolin» вписывается в этот дух «бунтовщиков против истеблишмента». PleasrDAO (DAO расшифровывается как «децентрализованная автономная организация») возглавляет 34-летний Джеймис Джонсон, который называет свою должность «главное доверенное лицо» (Chief Pleasing Officer). - Это прекрасное произведение искусства, это решительный протест против посредников и соискателей ренты музыкантов и художников, пошло не тем путем, попав в руки Мартина Шкрели, главного интернет-злодея, - говорит Джонсон. - Мы хотели бы вернуть его людям. Мы считаем, что можем что-то сделать с этим произведением, чтобы им могли делиться и в идеале частично владеть фанаты и все в мире. PleasrDAO пока не совсем понимает, как это сделать в соответствии с условиями договора купли-продажи. Некоторые идеи включали в себя вечеринки для прослушивания, выставки в стиле галереи или предоставление фанатам возможности стать совладельцами альбома. Снуп Догг подарил себе на 50-летие новый проект при участии звёзд Def Jam. Snoop Dogg отмечает 50-летний юбилей - и отмечает его анонсом нового музыкального проекта. Он будет называться The Algorithm, и рэпер уже поспешил назвать его "всеобъемлющим новым проектом, в котором представлены артисты из прошлого, настоящего и будущего легендарного лейбла Def Jam", как говорится в официальном заявлении. Среди уже заявленных участников "Алгоритма" - сам Снуп, а также его коллеги Ice Cube, E-40 и Too $hort. Последний также выпустил под ником Mount Westmore трек ‘Big Subwoofer', которым Снуп поделился в соцсетях. "В этом альбоме столько талантов, столько музыкальных стилей, что это нарушает алгоритм ”, - говорится в заявлении Снупа. - "Прямо сейчас алгоритм говорит нам, что мы должны именно так читать рэп, мы должны так звучать, но он не говорит нам, как это должно ощущаться. Мой алгоритм даст вам ощущение, а не звук". Поп-ап-фестиваль Sound UP меняет привычный формат — на выступлении в Театре Маяковского музыканты займут партер, а зрители разместятся прямо на сцене. Главной темой перформанса станет феномен тишины в музыке. Что это такое? Как тишину воспринимали музыканты разных эпох? Как они с ней работали? Какой диалог они вели с ней? Означает ли она тотальную беззвучность? Какие фигуры умолчания скрывает тишина и какие смыслы роятся в ее пространстве? На все эти вопросы зрители смогут ответить себе в ходе концерта. Куратор проекта Дмитрий Курляндский объединил диджитал-арт-дуэт 404.zero, оркестр фестиваля новой музыки Sound Up и вокальный ансамбль Intrada, чтобы исполнить в этот вечер симфонию Гайдна, вариации для фортепиано Антона Вебера, "Метамузыку" Сергея Загния и другие произведения. финал выступления ознаменуется исполнением восьми тактов Lacrimosa из «Реквиема» Моцарта — последнего нотного текста, написанного композитором. Фронтмен Depeche Mode и группа Soulsavers выпускают третий совместный альбом. На нем - песни Боба Дилана, a-ha, Нила Янга и других классиков поп-музыки. Фронтмен Depeche Mode Дэвид Гэан выпускает третий совместный альбом с британской группой Soulsavers. Альбом будет называться "Imposter", он выйдет 12 ноября 2021 года на Columbia Records. В треклисте - 12 "переосмысленных песен разных жанров и временных периодов" - Нила Янга, P.J. Harvey, Cat Power, Боба Дилана и других. - Когда я слушаю голоса и песни других людей и, что более важно, то, как они их поют и интерпретируют слова, я чувствую себя как дома, - говорит Дэйв Гэан. - Я отождествляю себя с ними. Меня это утешает больше всего на свете. На альбоме нет ни одного музыканта, который бы меня не тронул. Я знаю, что мы сделали что-то особенное, и я надеюсь, что другие люди это почувствуют, и это заставит их совершить небольшое путешествие - особенно людей, которые любят музыку и любили музыку годами. Первые две работы Гэага и Soulsavers - "The Light the Dead See" (2012) и "Angels & Ghosts" (2015) - пользовались огромным успехом. На обоих Гэан выступал в роли вокалиста и соавтора оригинальных песен. Coldplay выпустили новый альбом "Music of the Spheres". Это уже девятая студийная пластинка в дискографии группы. Её продюсированием занимался один из самых знаменитых шведских продюсеров - Макс Мартин (Max Martin), на счету которого огромное множество композиций с первых строчек хит-парадов. Под его руководством альбом явно записан с прицелом на поп-радиоэфир: в целом это скорее танцевальная запись, разбавленная холодной электроникой, которая призвана имитировать звуки далёкого космоса. LP насчитывает 12 треков, один из которых - "My Universe" - записан вместе с группой BTS. Видеоклип на этот трек был выпущен ещё в конце сентября и уже пользуется большой популярностью у армии поклонников BTS.

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...
In this episode we explore another valuable use case for Blockchain, which is quickly developing into a dominant form of technology that is already providing us with many useful tools like Smart Contracts and Decentralized Apps. We interviewed a member of our community, Juan Pablo Dulanto, who also works for PleasrDAO, an organization that purchases many valuable NFTs or Digital Works of art and fractionalizes them into securities that are sold to the public. This company successfully bought the original DOGE NFT for $4 million USD and almost had it reach a valuation of $550 million USD after dividing the asset into fractional tokens that would be offered to the public. For this week's episode the following members of WEquilGroup will be interviewing Juan Pablo Dulanto: Joseph Mcphail, Vishal Daryanani, Tserundede Ejueyitchie, Ross Hutton and Rishi Daryanani.

This week on Next with Novo I welcome in Emily Cheng, also known as Pplpleasr. Emily is a multidisciplinary artist whose original animations have blossomed into some of the most viral NFTs to date. Emily recently wrote an op-ed titled “How crypto changed my life,” and recaps her growth throughout the pandemic, from unemployment to creating her first animated short. Making progress with NFTs, Emily was able to grow her own audience, shifting power away from a few wealthy investors and into a collective unit. Her success led to the creation of PleasrDAO, a collective of DeFi leaders, NFT collectors, and digital artists who've acquired significant cultural pieces. The NFT community has completely altered Emily's path, and this episode is an inspiring glimpse into the creative, collective change that can exist within the crypto community.

In today's episode of The Metaverse Podcast, we talk to Pplpleasr, of PleasrDAO - a collective of DeFi leaders, early NFT collectors and digital artists who acquire culturally significant digital work, and experiment with community art ownership. Pplpleasr is the DAO's namesake, and a multidisciplinary artist, who found viral fame creating work for well-known crypto brands including AAVE, Sushiswap and Yearn. She, and Jamie Burke, discuss falling into DeFi, the importance of NFT art, creating memetic content, how crypto transformed her career, and the wormhole of crypto 'time dilation'.
While some dream of making it on the cover of Fortune magazine, Pplpleasr literally made the August/September cover of Fortune magazine. What started with making cool DeFi-related animation videos quickly propelled Pplpleasr's reputation, and in January of this year, Uniswap approached her to create a video for their v3 launch. The video was auctioned off as an NFT and the bidding war was won by a quickly-formed DAO, appropriately named PleasrDAO, which paid 310 ETH for the piece... all of which was donated to charity. -- Our "OG Fan" NFT is here!

Where crypto meets culture. In this episode with gmoney, Jamis discusses all things Doge meme that sold as a nft for $4M. "The futurist is bright for communities built around the shared possession of an idea and we believe fractionalized Doge, the Mona Lisa of the internet, will be a shining example of this odd new world we live in."

pplpleasr is an artist who first rose to prominence in the crypto space due to her viral animations for popular DeFi protocols like Aave and SushiSwap. Her breakthrough ‘x*y=k' NFT featured an animation of a Uniswap unicorn adventuring through a symbolic DeFi landscape to the “Ethereum promised land.” The auction caused the spontaneous creation of pleasrDAO, a collective of 23 Ethereum addresses, who won the auction for 310 ETH ($525K). pplpleasr announced that she'd be donating all of the proceeds to the Stand With Asians movement. Since then, pleasrDAO has become a major player in the NFT space with high-profile purchases like Edward Snowden's first NFT ($5+ million), the original Doge photo ($4+ million), Tor Project (nearly $2 million) and more.In this episode we dive into…- What is a DAO? What are the pros and cons of running an organization as a DAO? How does she foresee they will impact the broader business landscape in the coming years? - The initial Uniswap auction that led to pleasrDAO's creation.- What motivated her decision to donate all of the proceeds from her landmark sale to combat AAPI discrimination?- What is the mission of pleasrDAO?- How does pleasrDAO function structurally? What role does she play in its decisions?- The story behind the Snowden, Doge and Tor auctions.- What role does she foresee DAOs playing in the NFT space going forward? - What inspires her most about the NFT space's future?- What projects does she have in the works?- And much more!To sign up for the nft now newsletter where we break down the NFT market into actionable insights each week, go to: https://www.nftnow.co To follow pplpleasr on Twitter, go here: https://twitter.com/pplpleasr1To follow pplpleasr on Instagram, go here: https://instagram.com/pplpleasr See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Leighton Cusack is Co-Founder of PoolTogether, which is a no-loss lottery protocol built on Ethereum. If lotteries are considered fun but wealth-destroying, and long-term savings accounts are considered boring but wealth-creating, PoolTogether has found the sweet spot in the Venn diagram that combines the best of both worlds. Beyond Co-Founding PoolTogether, Leighton had the genesis idea to formulate PleasrDAO and contributes to several other DeFi protocols. -- Our "OG Fan" NFT is here!

Andy recounts the many interesting moments through his crypto journey, including being at Maker during Black Thursday, living through DeFi Summer, and then jumping into NFTs with Top Shot and PleasrDAO. Taking a break from his degen career, Andy is now developing Fractional, a protocol for fractionalizing NFTs.
