As Andrew Steinwold sees it, we can't expect people to change the way they transact based on arguments built around "blockchain transactions per second, staking, [and] down with the Fed." That's not how to get them to understand and appreciate the value of crypto. On the other hand, fun things like "art, video games, and collectibles" will attract the masses and will pique their interest in this new digital world. NFTs, Steinwold explains to Sergio Silva, will be the thing that brings the people to the cryptoverse. Steinwold, managing partner at Sfermion, and Silva, an NFT collector and the sales director at Fireblocks, also talk about gamers, a slowing economy's potential to affect Web3 investment, and the crypto industry's future.

Nesta edição do podcast Crypto Storm, Lucca Benedetti e Valter Alencar comentam sobre os principais assuntos da semana: metaverso e jogos em blockchain. Os apresentadores começam falando sobre a grande recente mudança que rapidamente impulsionou o mercado cripto e de investimentos: o comunicado do Facebook sobre sua alteração de nome para Meta e o desenvolvimento de seu futuro metaverso. A inovação comunicada pela rede social e por seu fundador e CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, movimentou, de maneira veloz, demais empresas, que correram para anunciar seus novos fundos de investimento para o desenvolvimento de metaversos, jogos em blockchain e tokens não fungíveis (NFTs, na sigla em inglês). No período de uma semana, Solana Ventures, FTX, Lightspeed, Enjin e Sfermion comunicaram seus fundos de investimento milionários para impulsionar o desenvolvimento de seu próprio metaverso ou de startups ligadas a games em blockchain. Os apresentadores comentam o fato de a maior rede social do mundo ter questões polêmicas, no que diz respeito à privacidade e à liberação de dados de usuários para terceiros. Na sequência, Valter comenta que, antes de tratar propriamente do metaverso, é preciso olhar para a história da internet. Durante a fase conhecida como “Web 1.0”, que aconteceu por volta de 1995 até o início dos anos 2000, os usuários da internet não conseguiam interagir com os sites, somente realizar a leitura dos conteúdos disponibilizados neles. Já a “Web 2.0”, a atual fase, permite que serviços funcionem em cima de sites da internet, assim como acontece com o Facebook e o Twitter, fornecendo serviços para os usuários, que dão informações e demonstram seus interesses dentro da plataforma. As empresas, então, analisam esses dados para redirecionar conteúdos condizentes com os interesses dos usuários, a fim de que estes permaneçam por mais tempo na plataforma, dando continuidade a esse ciclo. Quanto a isso, Lucca relembra que essa proposta consolidada na Web 2.0 foi revolucionária para a publicidade, que pôde redirecionar seu foco para o interesse do usuário. Com isso, outras ferramentas puderam ser desenvolvidas para atrair o consumidor. No entanto, Valter ressalta uma preocupação trazida por esse modelo: quando há um serviço, como o Facebook, que centraliza esses dados, as informações ali presentes podem ser vendidas para terceiros sem a devida permissão dos usuários. Sobre esse tópico, Lucca aponta que, na Web 2.0, os usuários são a fonte do valor das plataformas. Aperte o play para conferir a edição desta semana, para saber mais como funciona o conceito de propriedade digital e sua aplicação na realidade, além das mudanças previstas com a ampliação da Web 3.0.

This week on “Opinionated,” the hosts dive deep into the non-fungible token (NFT) boom with guest Andrew Steinwold, managing partner at Sfermion, an NFT fund. Andrew works with wealthy clients from around the world who want a piece of the digital art boom. Our biggest question for Andrew was last week's biggest news: Visa bought a CryptoPunk.By Andrew's telling, paying $150,000 for a pixelated head is a relative bargain, especially as an advertising tool. It's good for CryptoPunks, too: Its narrative firepower only grows stronger with a name brand such as Visa buying in.But what of the wacky NFT world beyond? Do other digital art pieces carry the same gravitas? Could Danny, who blew $150 on an NFT of a duck, ever recoup his cash? Andrew dredges up the ugly truth: Not all projects are going to make it.He's more bullish on the burgeoning internet economy that NFTs could support, things like digital land rights, digital clothing, digital games. His bets – and his clients' bets – are that NFTs can create a new rail in online commerce and ownership.Andrew provides the gang with some insight into the current NFT boom and debates what makes something valuable, even if it doesn't physically exist.Mentioned in this episode:Andrew's podcast: Zima RedAndrew's NFT fund: SfermionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guests:Edmund Schuster (twitter.com/edmund_schuster)Andrew Steinwold (twitter.com/andrewsteinwold)Host:Richard Yan (twitter.com/gentso09)Special co-host: Maria Shen (twitter.com/mariashen)Today's motion is “NFTs are dumb.”Non Fungible Tokens have taken the world by storm. A transaction in NFT is a transaction in some sort of digital ownership. Or as the Bloomberg columnist Matt Levine put it, “digital ostentation.” As the new owner of the NFT of a song or a jpeg, you don't have exclusionary access to the 0's and the 1's that make up the digital object. But there is still scarcity ascribed to the thing you're buying, because the seller promises to only do this transaction a small number of times.So as a buyer, you may feel good about a special bond you have now formed with the seller - in general an artist. Or you can signal to the world that you have deep enough pockets to have made such a transaction.In our debate today, on one side, we have a London School of Economics professor who is both a staunch no-coiner and an NFT bear. On the other, we have a founding partner of a NFT dedicated fund that started in 2019. Our cohost is from a renowned crypto fund, an NFT advocate and a collector herself. So this will be interesting.If you would like to debate or want to nominate someone, please DM me at @blockdebate on Twitter.Please note that nothing in our podcast should be construed as financial advice.Listen-along transcript: https://share.descript.com/view/NnA9YEyInkESource of select items discussed in the debate (and supplemental material):Edmund Schuster: http://edmundschuster.com/Andrew Steinwold's podcast: https://twitter.com/zima_redAndrew Steinwold's NFT & Metaverse newsletter: http://andrewsteinwold.substack.comMaria Shen at Electric Capital: https://www.electriccapital.com/team/maria-shenNBA Topshot: https://nbatopshot.com/Opensea (NFT sale platform): https://opensea.io/Beeple's $69M NFT sale: https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/11/22325054/beeple-christies-nft-sale-cost-everydays-69-millionTwitter thread questioning whether NFT is true un-censorable: https://twitter.com/jonty/status/1372163423446917122Guest bios: Edmund Schuster is an Associate Professor of corporate law at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

//Coinscrum Markets EP43 Segment - DeFi Convention with Andrew Steinwold, Managing Partner, Sfermion and Alex Batlin, CEO, Trustology //Segment Overview:: Although Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT's) have become the latest hot topic amongst blockchain commentators, the concepts upon which they are based pre-date not only CryptoKitties, the first example of this particular use-case launched on Ethereum back in 2017, but the Ethereum network itself. Whilst more recent developments and traction in the sector have undoubtedly raised the profile of NFTs and helped to improve the user experience when interacting with them, not all of the issues and flaws that were apparent back when Bitcoin was acting as the base layer for experimentation have been addressed, with some of the headline benefits and features often being touted still open to scrutiny. Andrew and Alex joined Paul Gordon to discuss the opportunities and the risks. //Read on Coinscrum Website www.coinscrum.com or watch the video version on our Youtube Channel. //Follow our Social Media:: www.linkedin.com/company/coinscrum www.twitter.com/coinscrum www.facebook.com/Coinscrum //Join our Facebook Community:: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Coinscrum //Our sponsors:: Buy & HODL BTC/ETH/LTC/XRP on Luno - http://www.coinscrum.com/luno-exchange/ Earn up to 8% interest with Blockfi - http://www.coinscrum.com/blockfi-earn-interest/ Analyse on-chain data at ByteTree - http://www.coinscrum.com/bytetree-terminal/ Get a Custodian Wallet at Trustology - http://www.coinscrum.com/custodian-wallet

As I was interested in the topic of supersymmetry, I decided to add it to the list of chapter nodes, this one being chapter 26. As I assume is known, today, the concept that is to be understood is the concept of supersymmetry and its role in physics, astronomy, and quantum mechanics.
