Bitcoin's Crash to

In Sept. 2022, Starbucks officially unveiled its highly anticipated foray into the metaverse: Starbucks Odyssey. At the time, NFTs and the metaverse were the trendy tech innovation of the moment, with businesses across many sectors scrambling to figure out how to cash in on the popularity of Web3, which was promised to be a more immersive “Internet of the Future.” Eighteen months after unveiling Starbucks Odyssey, the Seattle-based coffee company has confirmed that the program — which has been in beta mode for 15 months — will officially end at the end of the month. While the announcement comes as no surprise — it has been a while since the metaverse and NFTs captivated audiences and motivated tech companies — Starbucks ending Odyssey in its current form signals the closing of a chapter in the history of restaurant technology.

GUEST:Adam Brotman, Forum3 co-founder & co-CEO, excels in enhancing brand-customer relationships and digital marketing through innovations such as loyalty schemes & mobile technology. His creativity earned him the #2 spot on Fast Company's "100 Most Creative People" in 2012 and the CDO Club named him CDO of the Year in 2015.  Adam's rich professional background includes strategic leadership roles at J.Crew, where he initiated their first loyalty program, and notably at Starbucks. As their inaugural Chief Digital Officer, he orchestrated the development of Starbucks' mobile payment, ordering, and loyalty platform. Adam's current board commitments include MOD Pizza Company and Ruby Tuesday, and he has previously served on the boards of Neiman Marcus and Brooks Running Shoe Company. THE EPISODE:   Adam Brotman helped envision and launch what's currently seen as the shining example of blockchain-based customer loyalty programs - the Starbucks Odyssey experience. Ashley chats with Adam to unpack what these programs can offer, and how blockchain technology & digital assets play pivotal roles in moving away from a short-term and transactional brand strategy, to a community-building approach which encourages storytelling, participation, and fun. He explains why on-chain loyalty programs are becoming easier to roll out, shares that most brands are afraid of experimentation (providing an opportunity to those willing to learn, pivot, and grow), and offers insights on how employees can drive innovation within their organizations. Adam also gives the audience a sneak peek into his current initiative, hive3.ai - where users can compete for great prizes from some of their favourite brands.GUEST QUOTE:"Think about Web3 as a technology or a capability set that can help enhance how you innovate your customer relationship transformation."

Starbucks is one of the most well-known and beloved brands in the world. The coffee giant has a loyal customer base that is estimated to be worth over $1 trillion. In recent years, Starbucks has been making a number of moves to embrace Web3 technology. In December 2022, the company launched Starbucks Odyssey, a Web3 loyalty program that allows members to earn and purchase digital collectible assets that unlock access to new benefits and immersive coffee experiences.Starbucks' Web3 strategy is based on the belief that Web3 technology can help the company to create more engaging and rewarding customer experiences. Using blockchain technology, Starbucks can create a more transparent and secure loyalty program that gives customers more control over their data. Additionally, Web3 technology can create new and innovative ways for customers to interact with the Starbucks brand. Some of the unique offerings in the digital marketplace have already shown massive popularity and are starting to perform like high-performing digital assets and NFTs.Nike Leads the RaceNike and RTFKT's NFT and Phygital program has been a huge success. The first drop of sneakers, CryptoKicks, sold out in minutes, and the second drop, Clone X, was even more successful. The Clone X collection sold out in just 7 minutes, and the average price of a Clone X NFT was over $10,000.The success of Nike and RTFKT's NFT and Phygital program is a testament to the growing popularity of NFTs and the potential of this technology to revolutionize the way we interact with brands. NFTs offer a unique way for brands to connect with consumers and create a more immersive and engaging experience.In addition to the program's financial success, Nike and RTFKT have also seen a significant increase in brand awareness and engagement. The program has been covered by major media outlets worldwide, generating a lot of excitement among sneakerheads and NFT collectors.HOW FAR CAN STARBUCKS GO IN WEB3So far, the sentiment for the Web3 push has been off the charts, where Starbuck's overall Brand Sentiment is 81.26 - The consumer sentiment on the Oddysee program has had one of the highest marks in foodservice recorded at 88.75 and a significant lift in overall sentiment. If Starbucks rolled out its Web3 loyalty program across all stores and customers, it would likely positively impact loyalty.Increased engagement: Web3 technology can make loyalty programs more engaging. Customers can earn rewards for participating in social media activities, playing games, or completing other tasks. This would likely increase engagement with the Starbucks brand and its loyalty program.Improved customer satisfaction: Web3 technology can make loyalty programs more transparent and secure. Customers can see exactly how their data is used and how they earn rewards. This likely leads to improved customer satisfaction with the Starbucks loyalty program.Increased customer lifetime value: Web3 loyalty programs can offer unique digital assets, such as NFTs, that can be used to redeem for exclusive rewards or experiences. This leads to increased customer lifetime value, as customers are more likely to continue to spend money at Starbucks to earn these rewards.New revenue streams: Web3 loyalty programs can create new revenue streams for businesses. For example, Starbucks could sell limited-edition NFTs that unlock access to exclusive rewards or experiences. This would likely generate new revenue for Starbucks and help to grow the business further.Loyalty programs are a perfect fit for Web3 technology. Loyalty programs are about building customer relationships and rewarding them for engagement. Web3 technology can help loyalty programs to be more engaging, rewarding, and transparent.

  Theme: NFT Bank Run   If you had to find a store of value in 4 projects what would they be. As bank books are in question and depositors flight to safety lets play what if with projects.    We asked an AI… As an AI language model, I cannot provide financial advice or investment recommendations. However, I can give some general information about NFTs as a potential store of value. NFTs are a unique digital asset class that have been growing in popularity as a collectible and investment opportunity. While they are still a relatively new and volatile asset class, some NFT projects have shown strong price appreciation and could be considered as potential stores of value. However, it is important to note that the value of NFTs, like any investment, can fluctuate greatly and there is no guarantee of return. That being said, here are four popular NFT projects that could be considered as potential stores of value: CryptoPunks - One of the earliest and most popular NFT projects, CryptoPunks are unique 8-bit characters that have become highly collectible. Some CryptoPunks have sold for millions of dollars, and the project has shown strong price appreciation over time. Art Blocks - Art Blocks is a platform for generative art NFTs, which are created through algorithms rather than by individual artists. The platform has gained popularity for its unique and visually stunning NFTs, some of which have sold for significant amounts. Bored Ape Yacht Club - The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of unique, hand-drawn ape NFTs. The project has gained a significant following and some apes have sold for high prices. Axie Infinity - Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based game that allows players to collect and battle creatures called Axies. Axies are represented as NFTs and can be bought and sold on various marketplaces. The game has gained a large following and some rare Axies have sold for significant amounts. Again, it is important to note that NFTs are a new and volatile asset class, and investing in them carries risks. It is always recommended to do thorough research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions. What does the banking collapse of three of the largest crypto-friendly banks mean for NFTs? The banking collapse of three of the largest crypto-friendly banks could have both positive and negative impacts on NFTs. On the negative side, it could create a sense of uncertainty and instability in the crypto market, which could lead to decreased investor confidence and a reduction in the overall value of crypto assets, including NFTs. Additionally, if investors are forced to sell off their crypto holdings to cover losses from the bank collapse, this could also put downward pressure on the market for NFTs. On the positive side, the collapse of these banks could also highlight the need for decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions, which could benefit the NFT market. DeFi platforms are built on blockchain technology and provide a decentralized alternative to traditional financial systems. By using DeFi platforms, NFT creators and collectors could potentially bypass the need for banks altogether, which could reduce their exposure to the risk of bank collapses and other financial crises. Furthermore, if DeFi platforms become more widely adopted, this could lead to increased demand for NFTs, as they are a unique and valuable asset class that can be traded and exchanged on these platforms. https://opensea.io/collection/the-starbucks-siren-collection/analytics https://waitlist.starbucks.com/#/register   News: Meta ‘Winding Down' NFT Efforts - Blockworks Yuga Labs' Summoning Is Here: Everything You Need to Know    Yuga Labs' first-ever bitcoin NFT collection ‘TwelveFold' auction raises $16.5M in 24 hours - SiliconANGLE  Square Enix's NFT Game Is The Worst Thing I've Ever Seen Was NFT Artist Wrong to Think She Could Be Exhibited at the Louvre?  This Whale Sells 500 Moonbirds NFTs on BLUR Taking Massive Losses Doodles 'No Longer an NFT Project' and Won't Cater to Speculators, Co-Founder Says - Decrypt Playboy Accepted Ethereum As NFT Payments And Ended Up losing $5 Million     Fortnite's Epic Has 'Close to 20' Crypto Games in Store Pipeline - Blockworks

In this episode we will discuss Starbucks Odyssey and explore what the future holds for web3 and other NFT activities. With special guests Chris Miller and Gabriele Giancola.

消费大牌星巴克的Web3试水产品Starbucks Odyssey（奥德赛）终于在2022年12月开始了内测，却未激起太大水花，一探究竟之后，我们发现Odyssey虽然提升了用户购买的NFT体验，为Web3和NFT进行了一次科普教育，却鲜有交互和技术上的创新。 略显失望之余，我们却发现Odyssey的出现或许奏响了商业范式转移的前奏：未来的私域会员会不会变成了公开数据？甚至间接成为了DID的最佳用例。虽然Odyssey成为像AWS一样的数字基建，看起来过于遥远，但现在否定还为时尚早。 主播｜阿伟 Awaei ，Twitter：@web3awaei (https://twitter.com/web3awaei) 主播｜泓君Jane，资深媒体人 Twitter：@hongjun60 (https://twitter.com/hongjun60) 嘉宾｜曹寅，数字文艺复兴基金会 董事总经理 Twitter：@CaoArmand (https://twitter.com/CaoArmand) 嘉宾｜star，Web2社区&电商资深从业者，NFT资深研究者&顾问 Twitter：@starzqeth (https://twitter.com/starzqeth) 【你将听到】 02:40 旅程+邮票，Starbucks Odyssey的重点功能 04:46 成为越南第一个用比特币买星巴克的人 05:42 Odyssey创意有限，反响低于预期 10:40 一些大品牌做NFT的原因来自职业经理人的压力 11:59 大品牌做不好NFT的3大原因 13:09 Odyssey选择了一条非常安全和合规的路 16:17 消费大牌将用户数据的黑匣子打开了 17:54 消费大牌或间接实现了用户的DID 20:38 NFT会员系统的开发成本不低 22:30 现在X to earn模式不起作用了 31:21 Odyssey有可能成为像AWS样的数字基建 37:05 NFT作为衍生品销售或许不错 39:27 Odyssey将传统会员积分从负债变成产品 43:31 从单向输入变成多输入的开放式经济系统 54:57 Odyssey比耐克的NFT计划更有潜力 57:40 NFT或更适合满足高附加值用户需求 61:01 Airdrop或开启商业模式的范式转移？ 【提及产品及术语】 Starbucks Odyssey 官网 (https://odyssey.starbucks.com/#/landing) 耐克NFT平台Dot Swoosh (https://www.swoosh.nike/location) Bakkt (https://bakkt.com/)：继Coinbase之后，美国第二家合规上市的加密资产交易平台 Nifty Gateway (https://www.niftygateway.com/)：由Gemini交易所支持的美国合规NFT交易平台 Azuki (https://www.azuki.com/)：知名漫画风头像NFT DID：Decentralized Identity去中心化身份 【相关阅读】 * Star关于Starbucks Odyssey的相关分析文章：Starbucks Web3对商业世界的3个深层次影响 (https://mirror.xyz/starzq.eth/WPXMtZBhSsEBlo_iH8WOhyVkcCR1nIPeKs-cmdpZNSM)/星巴克Odessey团队对web3的思考 (https://mirror.xyz/starzq.eth/f32UhebTVIrptiQOqo1NOS4KFMY1W0Mwuz_DzWFAZ2g) * Starbucks Odyssey体验截图 (https://twitter.com/jasminexu888/status/1602769330315268096)（Twitter）@ Jasmine (https://twitter.com/jasminexu888) * Odyssey背后团队Forum 3视频采访 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h8gMOjVMiU)（YouTube） * 耐克NFT已产生超过1.85亿美元的收入，位居大品牌NFT项目收入榜第一 (https://www.panewslab.com/zh/sqarticledetails/9gggezoy.html) * 卖掉我的星巴克NFT后，才发现自己卖早了…… (https://www.odaily.news/post/5184114) * Gmoney (https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/556138970?utm_id=0)关于新时代年轻人的看法 (https://twitter.com/starzqeth/status/1587073014188822529)(Twitter) * 明年可以用比特币在星巴克买咖啡了？事实和你想的不太一样 (https://www.ifanr.com/1274934) * Starbucks Odyssey 9月公布后的预测分析： 星巴克NFT计划的细节和思考 (https://chao.mirror.xyz/YXnNbDO-tYVS_stUCAsRBDMy-y0oCujf7JgyKyh2yTQ) /星巴克进军 web3，标志着 NFT 行业下一个里程碑 (https://mirror.xyz/starzq.eth/qEnJG-n_YNBe1ecEjYQna_XRhjZ2ASO7cCGYsBX_y-E)/ 星巴克的Web3试验 (https://chao.mirror.xyz/vj0v8tZqaSxzPxEYIYcVpovyBrk_5Cql4DG9H4DVu58) 【BGM】 Mumbai — Ooyy 【后期】 Amei 【在这里找到我们】 中国用户：苹果播客｜小宇宙 海外用户：Apple Podcast｜Google Podcast｜Amazon Music｜Spotify Twitter：@Web3_101 (https://twitter.com/Web3_101) 【嘉宾言论仅代表个人，本期节目不构成任何投资建议哦】

In today's episode of #NFT365, Fanzo discusses the concept of digital intimacy and how our interactions with technology can bring us closer together and foster community. However, it's important to recognize that technology can also be used to distance ourselves from others. As algorithms and platforms continue to evolve, it's crucial to focus on individual interactions as the building blocks of a community, whether that be a business, brand, or group of like-minded individuals. To create true intimate community, messaging must shift from a one-to-many to a many-to-many or even one-to-one relationship. NFTs hold the power of shared ownership and transparent digital interactions are key to this concept.

Starbucks is going crypto… but why? Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where we spend one minute a day explaining the intersection of exciting new technologies and your world. As always: In plain English. Grab a cup of coffee and relax... because today's episode will be right in your wheelhouse. And if you've just pulled out the Starbucks app to see if you have points to redeem while listening to this episode: What a coincidence! Because today is about Starbucks... going crypto. Hard to believe but true: The coffee shop giant is adopting blockchains to build the next version of their rewards program. If that comes as a shock to those who thought crypto wasn't mainstream yet - trust us, we feel the same. Why would they shake it up when things have been working just fine without the extra topper of cutting-edge tech? Let's dig in, because it might not be as crazy as it sounds. The whole thing is called Starbucks Odyssey and will launch sometime in 2023. On paper, it sounds like a rewards program on steroids: Sure, you can collect points. But you'll also get digital collectibles for your loyalty, and can access a members-only experience where you can play games and tackle challenges - whatever that actually means. And don't worry, Starbucks aficionado! The existing program isn't going away either. Ok - you probably have a couple of doubts: Why create this whole experience in the first place? They are a just a coffee shop, right? And why would any of this have to be on the blockchain if they already have a working rewards program? Well - Starbucks thinks of itself as your "Third Place", between home and work. Their words, not ours. In essence, they want you to think of Starbucks as a place you WANT to spend time at. And guess what? Buy coffee. And what do brand managers do to imprint their logo in your brain? They trick you into interacting with it more. An interactive, loyal-members-only experience is Starbucks' way to control your mind. But, by the way, they do tons of non-digital things to make you like them, like paying college tuition for their "partners" - which is their fancy word for employees. Ok, you say, got it. Brand marketers trying to make me love their brand. But why on the blockchain? Well - we can only speculate. But Starbucks has always been about attracting the young generations as they come and go. It started with syrups and sprinkles years ago. Now their bet is most likely that NFTs and crypto are the perfect cool new thing the new kids will like. So that's Starbucks' new blockchain loyalty program. And there is something interesting happening here behind the scenes that we'll cover next: It's powered by Polygon, a name you may have heard a ton lately. Stay tuned to hear why in the next episode.

Starbucks NFT Odyssey ist live und verspricht einiges mit dem kommenden Marktplatz, während der Bundestag Web3 den Gefahrenstempel aufdrückt. Natürlich spricht Vicky mit ihrem Co-Host Marvin Sanginés zu Beginn kurz über die Anerkennung zur LinkedIn Top Voice 2022 und den blauen Haken. Viel Kritik gab es bei der Web3 Anhörung im Bundestag: Statt um die großen Potenziale von Web3, Blockchain und Metaverse ging es primär um die Risiken. Dazu gibt Vicky ihre Top Web3 Uses Cases preis: Supply Chain & Transparenz, Ticketing und eine Identity Wallet. In diesem Rahmen sprechen die zwei über CBDC - central bank digital currency - und die Dystopie, wenn die Regierung die volle Kontrolle über eine digitale Währung hätte und entscheiden könnte, wie viel Geld jemand bekommt. Marvin erklärt zusätzlich den Unterschied zwischen Custodial vs. Non Custodial Wallets. Deep Dive: Starbucks Odyssey ist live. Erst richtig spannend wird es jedoch im Januar, wenn der Marktplatz gelaunched wird. Denn dann können Kunden ihre gesammelten Punkte in einem offenen Ökosystem - auch gegen Geld - traden. Zum Schluss ernennen Marvin und Vicky Polygon zum ‘Big Winner of the Year' und teasern kurz Shibuya und Constitution DAO an.

Starbucks has finally launched a beta version of its metaverse — the Starbucks Odyssey — on Dec. 8 after initially announcing the Web3 experience in September. Although restaurants have been dipping their toes and marketing budgets into the metaverse all year, it feels like the party is just getting started now that one of the biggest foodservice companies in the world has joined in.This is why our senior editor Joanna Fantozzi thinks Starbucks was smart to wait more than a half a year after some of its industry colleagues to join the fray. Rather than limit the size of its potential audience by requiring extra equipment or an understanding of Bitcoin and NFTs, Starbucks has broadened its potential userbase. NFTs have been rebranded as “Journey Stamps” and cryptocurrency is not required to purchase and trade them. The coffee chain also has borrowed from the familiar structure of a rewards program by allowing customers to rack up points as they purchase and trade NFTs. Points can then be redeemed for in-store experiences.But make no mistake: the metaverse space is still the Wild West of the Internet 3.0, and likely will be for a long time to come. At this point, we're still defining and refining exactly what the metaverse is. The first retail and foodservice brands to join the trend required both a compatible virtual reality headset, as well as knowledge and ownership of cryptocurrency. To play basketball with the Wendy's Baconator in the Wendyverse, for example, you have to own a Meta Quest 2 headset.Hear more from Joanna.

What do Nike, Starbucks, reddit, and AAA gaming studio 12am have in common?They all use Polygon to build in web3.Polygon Studios CEO Ryan Wyatt joined Brian Friel to discuss crypto's mainstream adoption and the future of web3 gaming on Episode 15 of The Zeitgeist.Show Notes:01:36 -  Background / How he started working at Polygon?05:09  - Why Polygon and web 3.0 gaming?11:29 - Partnerships16:58 - The state of web 3.0 gaming today20:28 The future of web 3.0 gaming22:29 How will wallets evolve in the space24:35 -  A builder he admires Full Transcript:Brian (00:06):Hey everyone, and welcome to the Zeitgeist, the show where we highlight the founders, developers, and designers who are pushing the Web 3.0 space forward. I'm Brian Friel, developer relationship fan, and I'm thrilled to announce my guest, Ryan Wyatt, the CEO of Polygon Studios. Polygon is a platform for scaling and building decentralized blockchain apps on Ethereum. Polygon Studios specifically is the business team working to help advance the Polygon ecosystem across its various products. Ryan, welcome to the show.Ryan (00:35):Dude, you've got a perfect podcast voice. Let me tell you, man.Brian (00:39):Thank you. It's a good thing no one can see my face. It's a voice for podcasting, but we'll keep it at that.Ryan (00:44):Yeah, that's fair. That's all that matters. That's all that matters. Thanks for having me.Brian (00:48):Yeah. Hey, we're really excited. By the time that this episode's live, the announcement will be out that Phantom and Polygon are joining forces and bringing the Phantom experience to the EVM ecosystem. We couldn't be more thrilled to be working with you guys.Ryan (01:01):Yeah, we're super excited. Long time coming. Glad the day has finally arrived. We can share it with everybody. You can't see it, but I'm wearing my Phantom shirt, so I'm fully celebrating the moment.Brian (01:12):I love it. And we definitely got some more of those Phantom shirts in stock. We can be giving it out to all the Polygon community.Ryan (01:19):That's right, man.Brian (01:19):Getting the merch going.Ryan (01:20):Send them my way.Brian (01:20):Hey, well, you know, you have a really interesting background. I really want to dig into that before we get started on everything that's in what we can be teaming up together across Polygon and Phantom. But for the uninitiated, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you became to be working at Polygon?Ryan (01:36):Yeah, so my whole background was really in the creator economy all the way back to my days in college. So I played games competitively. I commentated tournaments for Major League Gaming. I ran the online tournament infrastructure for Major League Gaming, 2008, 2009. Ultimately went to Machinima, which was a really early gaming company on YouTube, and then went to YouTube to start the gaming vertical where I was the head of gaming for almost eight years at YouTube. And gaming is the second largest vertical for YouTube. It's got 350 million logged in users. It generates billions of dollars for the platform. So a really fun time that I had of 12, 13, 14 years in the creator economy. Last year in 2021, I really started getting into angel investing of Web 3.0 projects. And the way that I actually got connected into Web 3.0 projects was just really game developers that I really believed in that had a high degree of talent that were going over and they were making at the time, calling blockchain based games.(02:33):And I just became very enamored and fascinated with the concept of what can you do when you really own your digital items and how big of a business that's becoming. And so as I spent more time in that space while still at YouTube, I got really excited about what can I do to jump in full time. And I came to Polygon and I thought I really like Polygon for a couple key reasons. First and foremost, I was already sold on Ethereum where that was going to be a base layer for developers and users, and not to say that other alt ones don't have a place in the world. Ethereum had kind of already checked that box that they'd been able to gravitate a lot of users and developers. And clearly there was this conundrum that existed at Ethereum of the inability to let it scale.(03:12):And so I started focusing on protocols and companies that were really looking at this idea of how do you scale Ethereum? And landed on Polygon because I had liked their ZK tech acquisitions that they had done. They spent about a billion dollars acquiring three different ZK companies. I looked at that as like, okay, that's a real scaling L2 future for this platform.(03:35):And I thought I could come in given that I worked at a platform like YouTube, saw a lot of verticals, saw what it's like to scale a company, and knew Web 3.0 and Web 2.0 really. Well, I thought I was in a unique position to come into the company and help out. And so I joined Polygon Studios in January of this year. I lead our whole business team. So if you can think of Polygon as there's a product and engineering team that's focusing on ID and our different ZK solutions, our POS chain, avail, our super nets, a lot of work going into our product efforts across the board over there. Everything else kind of sits under my camp of everything from BD to partnerships to marketing, finance, legal, compliance, a lot of these different other business areas. And so it's been an awesome opportunity. I've really enjoyed being here and Polygon had such a tremendous year. It's been fun to be on the ride, that's for sure.Brian (04:24):Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I think Polygon is a bit of a meme that you guys have the most legendary BD team in the Web 3.0 space.Ryan (04:31):I love that meme too. I won't lie to you.Brian (04:33):Yeah, I want to get into all that and what you guys have cooking over at Polygon, but just to quickly go back a little bit on your background, you mentioned you were the head of gaming at YouTube, and that's at a time when it really wasn't popular opinion that it would be a popular thing to watch people play video games on the internet. I think you were very early to that movement and now you see that movement potentially heading to the blockchain space, you know, mentioned that your interest in Polygon really peaked from seeing game developers move over. For you, what was the aha moment for you that made you leave a job like YouTube to come into the Web 3.0 space?Ryan (05:08):Yeah, no, I love the question. I think the funny thing too is, so, taking a step back at the first part of hey, you know, you got involved before the creator economy was even a thing. And the reason I got involved was I really was such a gamer and it was fun to watch gaming highlights and clips from other cool moments in games. And what got me into it was simply, I think there's other people like me that might enjoy this, other gamers that are watching these videos and stuff. And so it started just with something as innocent and simple as that and kind of kept building off of it. Okay, how do you introduce this to more people? What barriers do you break down in order to get it into more people's hands and so forth? And so some of it you control, some of it you don't.(05:54):So a good example was really where you started to see scaling of more gaming videos being uploaded was when the Dazzle capture card came out, it was like a 50 or $60 capture card you plugged into your Xbox or PlayStation very simply captured to a hard drive. You had this raw footage output that you could just clip up and then upload, right? Then also software got better with Final Cut and Premier and all these different things. And so you started to see a lot of these things happen that other companies were contributing to and really what you don't ever sit there. And at the time I was never like, oh, some of the biggest celebrities in the world one day are going to be people that upload videos on YouTube. You don't start with such an insane point of view that I wouldn't have believed it at the time.(06:38):You didn't need to sell this huge idea and you just believe, hey, there's people that are interested in it and this is going to keep getting bigger as more people progress. I say all of that because clearly the outcome was, again, 350 million logged-in people watch gaming video on YouTube every day. Some of the biggest celebrities in the world now come from YouTube. Mr. Beast was uploading gaming videos, Dream, all these different people, right? And so I saw a bunch of similarities in Web 3.0. I love this idea of decentralization. I really did believe that, hey, there is a power dynamic that negatively impacts users. You see it in gaming, a lot of this is anchored around gaming and that as people are spending more money on digital goods, there's going to be this desire and push for more genuine ownership over it. So I started to see something where I was like, hey, this is interesting to me and I think it will be interesting to other people.(07:27):And now I also saw a lot of capital in the space, and by that I mean there is so many different people focusing on so many different problems like Phantom with the wallet, us with a protocol, Magic Eden who we just partnered with on the marketplace. You saw all these great talented people contributing their part in advancing the overall ecosystem. And so I had this perspective of, well, the creator economy took about 15, 16 years to really hit its stride in a meaningful way. I think that Web 3.0, if you think about where we're at, can really cut that timeline in half because of the type of people, the capital and resources that are in this space. And I felt that there was already a really good product market fit as far as people wanting this. And so for me, it actually was a really easy jump.(08:11):I had no issue leaving. I did awesome. I loved my job at YouTube, running gaming YouTube was so fun. Great people love Susan, our CEO. Really enjoyed who I worked with. But even saying all that, it was actually really easy to come make the jump here because I was like, oh, this is going to be so fun over the next decade, there's going to be so many different learning opportunities, things to build. There's this blank canvas of creativity and yeah, it's littered with a bunch of issues. That was no different than YouTube in these early days with people uploading porn or videos that had copyright or music. You're dealing with a bunch of abuse factors in crypto right now. We're seeing it play out, but that's okay. It's a lot of what you expect in first movers and early adopters of a new product. And so I'm really optimistic about how this stuff shakes out and what the future looks like and how even on a personal level I can contribute to shaping that in some way.Brian (09:01):Yeah, no, I agree. There's nothing quite working on the frontier attack. It's really exciting.Ryan (09:07):Frontier indeed it is. Yes. We're reminded of that every two months at this rate.Brian (09:13):Absolutely. So let's turn a little bit to Polygon specifically. And you mentioned that you just jumped in with two feet into this space. What is it about Polygon that piqued your interest and why do you think it's particularly well suited for this movement into Web 3.0 gaming?Ryan (09:29):So going back to Ethereum, I was betting on Ethereum, so I was like, I want to be associated with a protocol that's focused on scaling Ethereum. And so there's some great companies, Immutables out there and so forth. I just really liked Polygon because I love the founders, so I got to spend some time with Sandeep. I mean these guys have the heart and spirit, JD, Milo, Onarog. It's really inspirational. I kind of like an underdog story too. And if you think about even where YouTube was relative to Twitch and some of these other things in the gaming category, we had to overcome some of these battles to stay being the largest video platform. Facebook, Mixer with Microsoft, it was just fun to kind of compete. And so I just really like the heart that they had of one, they were really well intended about how much they believed in the future of decentralization and polygons' role in it.(10:20):And two, that passion, you can't recreate that stuff. And so I just very easily gravitated towards them. I also, again, well capitalized the product and engineering team, brilliant people on the ZK side. We have some of the best engineers, mathematicians, PhDs when it relates to cryptography and ZK work in the world on Polygon. So it was, it shot up. I don't think we're an underdog anymore, obviously I think we've arrived, right? We have all this great talent across the organization. We've got a really clear vision of what we think it's going to look like. And so it's just fun. It's just fun to be on a team when you work with people that are really talented, it makes you want to work harder, it makes you get excited to get up every day to work. And so we've just got one of those teams and organizations and I love it.Brian (11:13):That's awesome. So you have a great team that you guys have here at Polygon. We mentioned a little bit earlier that you guys are at the legendary BD team in the Web 3.0 space. Let's talk a little bit about some of those partnerships that you guys have landed recently. What partnerships are you particularly excited about?Ryan (11:29):Well, I mean honestly, selfishly, the Magic Eden and Phantom partnerships are pretty fun. Seeing these, a great marketplace, a great wallet go multichain is so good for the space. I think multi chain is a good thing for the space. Oftentimes too, I say it's just like we're so small and so early to be super competitive. And so I think multi chain is just a great way for all companies to look. Even games and things that are building on Polygon. So that's been really fun. We've also had a lot on the gaming side this past year. We partnered with Tilting Point, we partnered with Midnight Society, which is Dr. Disrespect's game. I mean obviously we had just a heyday on the enterprise side. We had Nike and Starbucks and Reddit and Meta. I mean, honestly, that list gets crazy. Super proud of all the team's work there.(12:19):DeFi, we had a really fun year too. I really feel good about what we've done with DeFi, Robinhood, who was a really exciting announcement. So there's just been great momentum. The teams really, it's a mix of Web 2.0 background folks from big tech with Web 3.0 native gurus, and they just really work well as far as learning from each other. It doesn't come without its hiccups, but it really has been a great collaborative effort. So we've just had a lot of fun partnerships this year. It's great to be able to announce Phantom as we come to the end too as well. I think that's going to be exciting as we go into the new year, especially with all the projects we announced and so many of them we haven't even launched yet. If you think about Starbucks and some of these other ones, we haven't even debuted them yet. So 23 is going to be a fun year. I'm really excited. I know people right now are pessimistic bears because that's the season when the highs are high, they're really high and the lows, they're really low. I'm kind of pretty excited going into 2023 with all this momentum we have. Then our ZK tech coming out, we're going to be able to do a bunch more and the DeFi space with our ZK tech as well. Vibes are high on IM my man.Brian (13:27):I love it. That's great. You mentioned a ton there that hits across a bunch of different sectors. When you talk to these teams, especially, I'm curious, the ones who maybe aren't as Web 3.0 native, are there any commonalities between all them about what they're particularly excited about or maybe some specific areas that they think are most fruitful for growth in the Web 3.0 space?Ryan (13:46):It varies so much from each one. Think about a Magic Eden or a Phantom opportunity versus a Starbucks versus Meta. I do think a lot of folks are really interested in these ideas of these decentralized, let's say peer-to-peer networks, if you will, in layman's kind of Web 2.0 terms and kind of what you can do with it. So yeah, I think from that perspective, there's a lot of intrigue and appetite in the space. I would say it's not necessarily a growth vector for them. I think it's a lot of it is, hey, this is really interesting, new tech, what can we do? How do we participate in it? How do we learn in it? How do we trial? How do we try projects in it? And then there's varying degrees. I mean if you look at Instagram, they went really in, you mint on Polygon. You can sell directly from Instagram as they build on that. That's a really just valuable tool from a creator product feature set.(14:37):And people don't really need to worry about the Polygon aspect. I mean, it's fun if you're in the space, Polygon, but at the end of the day, it's like it's a great product feature they unlocked via Polygon, Reddit and what they're doing with Starbucks Odyssey. And basically they're going to allow this rewards program to be on chain, and the NFT part will be really passive as it should be with users that are going to use it. Same with Reddit, digital collectibles. So I just think you're really hitting a stride in how people are figuring it out. And there's going to be learning and iterative work here for all of them. But yeah, I think everybody's looking for something different when they come to the table. And I feel like what we have that's pretty unique is a bunch of people that can look at all these different perspectives from institutions, to finance, to big tech, to DeFi, to being a NFT, degen trader, all these different users that matter in our communities that matter. We've got good representation of it internally.Brian (15:32):Yeah, no, that's great. And it's great to see so much enthusiasm from these orgs actually putting their money where their mouth is and learning by doing and shipping and iterating, doing all that. It's a really cool time to see. Just a couple years ago that would've been basically unheard of in the crypto space. So it's really awesome to see that changing.Ryan (15:48):It's fun that crypto's ... look, dude, I would never call myself a crypto native. I didn't read a Bitcoin white paper and it changed my life back in the day. So you are seeing this new wave of people. This is good for the space. People that come in-Brian (16:02):Totally.Ryan (16:03):That got really interested in some of the ethos of Web 3.0 that is entering the space. And so this is why I feel good about these cycles that we'll have of people coming in. And it will be an ebb and flow. We'll have these big breakthroughs. We'll have moments we've been going through the past couple months on pulling back, and that's a natural part of the course that we're on. And I think what you continue to see with each stride will be more talent, more innovation, more use cases, more people each time.Brian (16:29):Yeah, no, I agree. And each new wave of users has their own perspective. As you said, it's no longer the hardcore cyberpunks and crypto maxes coming in, and that's how the space grows. It's really exciting to see. Totally. I want to bring it back just a little bit to gaming in particular too. Given your background, everything. We talked about how excited you were moving into the Web 3.0 space from head of gaming at YouTube. Talk a little bit about how you see the state of gaming, Web 3.0 gaming today and how that might change in the coming years.Ryan (16:58):So if you think about Web 3.0, the first version of it was, they were rudimentary Ponzi-esque type games. Some games I don't think operated with malice. I think some did, right? No doubt. I think that it was a great learning experience of what can you do with all these different things? You have a token, you've got decentralization, you've got ownership. You're trying to balance game mechanics. You're just doing a lot. Making a game is really difficult. You start adding all these different elements, it becomes very complex. So I'm pretty empathetic to, let's call it generation one of Web 3.0 games, none of them, which would be anything that I'd be interested in playing. I think Axie even playing that was like, okay, at least it's like there's something here. But these are all kind of base level games. A lot of great talent though coming from that space as far as generation one Web 3.0 games as far as learning and iterating.(17:50):And that's not super uncommon if you look at some of the early gatcha games and what mobile first offered up and some of the pay games that mobile ad were pretty atrocious as well. And so mobile went through a very kind of similar era of how do you iterate on these things? How do you improve? And so Web 3.0 games now, it's like you're starting to see some really good. One, it's like if you think about really great games take years to make. So you could have been last year been like, I'm going to make a Web 3.0 game and I have this really good studio and I've got a great background. And you're not seeing that game next year. You're seeing it in like 2024. So it's going to take a while and it's not going to happen fast in gaming. You're going to keep seeing new things come out in Web 3.0 gaming that will continue to pique people's interest and be like, okay, that's cool.(18:41):Or oh, what they just did with memberships and NFT, that's cool. Or what they just did with governance, that's cool. And games are just going to keep getting better and better and better. It'll be beyond just digital marketplaces and things that you own items in and all of that. So anyway, I say all that is, I think really the reality of where games are, where you start to see mass adoption of Web 3.0 games is years away. I think I feel very confident Web 3.0 gaming will be a pretty sizable subsection of games revenue in 2026, 27, and then you'll just keep seeing it go up to the right over time as far as users revenue, how many wallets, all of this. So yeah, I'm excited. I say it in a little more tempered way because it's more of a long term bet. We've been placing a lot of them now though.(19:25):You got to place those bets now. Those trees take a long time to grow. They're really impactful when they do, but you have to plant these seeds now. So we spent a lot of time this past year investing in different gaming projects out of our ecosystem fund, partnering with really large game developers, some of which we haven't even announced yet. So yeah, we've got some cool stuff that's coming up. And I definitely think things that's going to show what gen two of Gaming and Web 3.0 looks like. Again, I think where you see a meaningful breakthrough is more likely in this gen three era in four years or so.Brian (19:59):Yeah, for sure. No, it takes a lot of cycles to make something that's kind of a generational game like that. You know, mentioned some of these early investments, planting the seeds on this. If you had a crystal ball and you looked out, do you see that most of the games people are playing three, five years out from now? Are these being made from the existing AAA game studios that are coming into Web 3.0? Is it these web one game developers who are more crypto native iterating and finding something special? Is it some sort of blended between the two of them? What do you think there?Ryan (20:29):It's probably a blend. I actually think of more of it a regional thing. I think APAC game developers, largely in APAC will be the ones Web 3.0 native or Web 2.0 will be the ones that really do really interesting things in Web 3.0 gaming that will then spew towards the West. And so I think of it more as a geo-specific thing than anything else.(20:50):I do think you will have a massive Web 3.0 game hit the equivalent of Minecraft. The thing about Web 2.0 gaming is it wouldn't be incredibly difficult to pivot when they need to. And then when they do pivot, they would be very successful. So if you could imagine a world, just take any AAA game that is a platform, a Valorant, a Call of Duty, any of these different ones that are allowing people to buy cosmetics and skins, and people are spending boatloads of money doing that, they could very easily start to think about how do you flip on something where there's governance, how do you, true ownership, scarcity of items, and even just put membership passes, stuff like that where they could play in a very low level way of playing in Web 3.0 versus there's going to be other games where people are going to go off and create all kind of different mods and versions of it and communities around it and could start from it being a PFP NFT project that evolves like a Board Apes-esque kind of path.(21:51):And so I think it's going to show itself in a lot of different ways. But generally speaking, if I had to make a bet, I would say game developers largely in Asia will set the tone for how Web 3.0 gaming will look in a couple years.Brian (22:04):That's pretty exciting. I'm very interested to see what comes out of that region. And just to bring it back, one thing that I, selfishly here at Phantom were curious about is how do you see the role of wallets evolving in this space? Wallets right now touch a lot of different aspects of Web 3.0. I think the gaming space is relatively unexplored right now. Is there anything in your mind that you're particularly excited to see about from wallets and from Phantom in particular as it relates to this?Ryan (22:30):The user journeys are tough on wallets. Wallets bear the brunt of it. When you think about bridging and making entities really accessible and displayable all in a wallet, you know, have all these on ramps, it's just very digestible. It's clean. Maybe you start to have specific vertical specific features across DeFi gaming or music as you own these things. Like wallets can then go vertically deep, I think, which would be really interesting. But right now, so many of them are just dealing with this onboarding issue. It's complicated. It really is. It's not easy to set these things up for a lot of folks. So as wallets can go deep and then be really seamlessly integrated into all these different consumer experiences, which it's like, well, on its way, that is an already accelerated timeline. You guys have done great work there. This is what I would like to see for wallets.(23:18):I want it to be, my mom can set up a wallet and use it really easily and be like, oh yeah, I mean, here's how I add money to it. Here's how I buy an item. Here's where I can look at it in my inventory. Here's how I easily send it to Brian. That's like when we get there. And I think that's everyone's North Star. And so who's going to do it the best and who's going to do it fastest, I think is what we're going to find out. But look at, you guys have hit a really great narrative in the Solana ecosystem of having this very clean, simple, easy to use wallet. And so you've got a huge leg up already on that because that's what people are looking for and what is needed first.Brian (23:56):Yeah, no, I agree. We always saw that this was one of the bottlenecks in the space of getting things easier, getting it so easy a kindergartner could use it. So we're really excited to bring that to Polygon as well.Ryan (24:06):I love working with you guys because that's good for us. We want to make it easy to come on a polygon and use all these things and have no problem immediately setting up. And as we continue to onboard big games and different enterprise companies and so forth, this is going to be really important to do. So I think it'll be awesome.Brian (24:23):Yeah, I love it. Well, Ryan, this has been an awesome discussion. One closing question we always ask all our guests, and I want to hear your take on this, is who is a builder that you admire in the Web 3.0 ecosystem?Ryan (24:35):Man, I've plugged so many of them here. This is a tough one. Gosh. I'd say right now I think I'm going to go back to Midnight Society. It's a little bit of a curve ball, but the reason why is, that team has a bunch of ex Gears of War, Call of Duty developers that are really from prestigious game development. And they've been a builder that's focusing on how they introduce Web 3.0 to the masses, which I think is obviously, I'm personally fascinated by that. And the way that they've done kind of the membership pass and so forth with NFTs, all these anti NFT like, oh, I hate NFTs, blah, blah, blah. Gaming communities really served it up in a way for them to think about it differently. So I read it too, but sticking to this, and I think as we just touched on how we see gaming start to evolve, I look at them as going to be someone that's going to crack what Reddit started to do with the idea of owning out of a PFP NFT, right?(25:37):They're going to start doing this with gaming, with general gamers that don't really care about this crypto NFT, blockchain, or decentralization bit. They're not interested in that, but they'll be interested in this concept of having genuine ownership of items and memberships and so forth. And they're going to get introduced to it in a way that is different from an NFT perspective than they ever have. And so I like them as a builder because they're Web 3.0 builders, but they're targeting the crypto naive in a way that's really interesting. But honestly, dude, it's an impossible question. There's so many bad asses working in this space right now. This is why it's fun to be in it. So yeah, you guys and some others fall into that category for sure.Brian (26:16):Yeah, no, it's a bit of a selfish question too, so that we can get our next guest lined up for the podcast. I think Midnight Society would be a great guest there.Ryan (26:24):We got to get them out, man. I think. There it is. Yeah, I think they're really, really fascinating group to talk to and dive in about gaming.Brian (26:31):Awesome. And I know there's no shortage of people we could all list on this, but that's great to hear. Well, Ryan, this has been an awesome conversation. Really appreciate your time. Super excited to see what we can do together to push Web 3.0 forward. Where can people go to learn more about Polygon?Ryan (26:45):Yeah, I mean just polygon.technology, right? Honestly, that's probably the best. It's where our blog posts are and all of our updates you can follow then all of our socials that you're interested in. If you want to go deeper on our tech stack, whether you're a developer or just interested, we have all the engineering and technical documents that you would want to look into as well as social and what we've been up to, partner announcements. So I'd head there for all things Polygon.Brian (27:10):I love it. Thank you so much, Ryan Wyatt.Ryan (27:13):Take care, man. Thanks for having me, Brian.

A new entry into the use case for NFTs and their connection to loyalty and rewards is now Starbucks. They unveiled Starbucks Odyssey, a new experience powered by Web3 layer two solution Polygon that will offer Starbucks Rewards members and partners (employees) in the United States the opportunity to earn and purchase digital collectible assets that will unlock access to new benefits and immersive coffee experiences.Polygon is an Ethereum sidechain that enables faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient transactions than Ethereum. It has become a late favorite of brand partners, with firms like Coca-Cola and Reddit launching NFTs on Polygon. Also, Disney picked Polygon for its Web3 accelerator program this past summer. Additionally, Ethereum recently converted to a technology that is 99.9% cleaner than its previous power monster mining solution.This could be the solution that bridges the gap for restaurants into the metaverse, web3, and the next generation of blockchain tech that may make payment, loyalty, supply chain, and other tech obsolete.Also, in this episode.What's driving restaurants salesHow do restaurants beat the $25 an hour rising labor costs Will meme restaurants become all the rage?

South Korea issued arrest warrant for LUNA founder Do Kwon after Terra(LUNA) and its native stable coin UST, shed most of their value causing massive losses for investors and also causing the entire crypto market to fall tremendously as a whole. After a recent new study done by Alex Kruge reveled that based on his reports that by the year 2030, 500 million new investors would be invested in crypto causing a estimated 44% up hike in the market. Starbucks is set to begin a non-fungible token (NFT)-based loyalty program with the blockchain technology provided by Polygon. The company's Starbucks Odyssey will allow customers to purchase and earn digital collectible stamps in the form of an NFT that offer benefits and immersive experiences. Celsius Network CEO plans to rebuild the company as a custodian, focusing on storing people's #crypto for them. MicroStrategy, a software developer that has become a corporate bitcoin (BTC) vault, plans to sell up to $500 million of stock to fund more purchases of the cryptocurrency. Citadel, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab announce plans to launch a #cryptocurrency exchange with the help of a high-speed trading firm Virtu Financial Inc. and venture-capital firms Sequoia Capital and Paradigm. A report done by American Express shows revenue for small businesses has nearly doubled year over year for the month of July, but profits have remained flat. Lastly due to a recent study it now takes 35.51% of the median household income to make a principal and interest payment on the median home with 20% down, according to figures mortgage technology and data provider Black Knight shared with Yahoo Money.
