Podcasts about these nfts

Well fellow ProcrastiN8r, the future of the MetaVerse is here. You heard good ole Zuck talk about. It's this idea of intertwining the virtual world with the physical one. He's talking about owning "virtual" property, which is already possible in games like Decentraland and Upland. This is done through the use of the blockchain to create NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Think of NFTs as a unique item, like a shiny Charizard Pokemon card or a signed copy of Stephen King's It or the original painting of the Mona Lisa. It's not very easily replaceable and hard to find. Now in the real world, holding these items under your physical possession kind of proves your ownership of them, but in the virtual world, we need to verify data in order to prove your ownership. Sound familiar? Remember we talked about crypto/Bitcoin and how it uses this Blockchain technology to verify the fact that you own that cryptocurrency? Well, the same technology is now being applied to Non-Fungible tokens, unique items like pieces of art and of course, in-game items. No longer is that sword or pony just something you get in the game, it's something you VERIFIABLY OWN. Bitcoin itself is "fungible". One Bitcoin is exactly the same as any other Bitcoin in existence. Just like One dollar bill is the same as any other dollar bill. But now we can create non-fungible items that have uniqueness. That's the key word. Non-fungible means uniqueness. And this idea of owning items in the digital space is beginning to make waves. Already, collection toy companies like Funko Pop are offering NFTs in addition to the purchase of a real physical toy. These NFTs can then be traded on a digital market. Cities across the world are planning to implement NFTs in their future building plans. And this only the beginning. We're going to see the digital and physical world blur together more and more. With gaming already encouraging players to collect loot and unlock characters with no other incentive than bragging rights, having NFTs in game is going to shift the entire industry. No longer are you wasting hours into grinding levels or collecting resources in a game like Runescape. No longer are you fighting a boss over and over in hopes to get that one rare drop just so you can brag to your buddies or win some PVP. NFTs turns your game time into valuable time. That rare amulet you found in the chest? Yeah, that's yours now, not your game character's amulet. YOURS. You own it! Now fair warning, there is typically an upfront cost to get started with NFT games, and that may be a bit of a turn off for some of you. But honestly with new games running over $60 now and over a hundred for the "deluxe" editions, plus the system or PC you gotta buy to even play the game in the first place, even if you're not gaming with NFTs, there's still a price to pay up front. Thing is with traditional gaming, you don't earn anything back, but with NFT, you can actually profit off your game time. Like, you're going to be playing games just for fun or achievement sake, you might as well get paid for your time. I'm serious this is one of the biggest opportunities to make a living being lazy. You can literally lay on the couch and play video games all day and get paid to do so. No need to stream or build a following. No need to get sponsors or dabble around with affiliate marketing. No creating content on blog, videos, or podcasts. Literally just playin the game. Now I'm not a financial advisor. I don't have any sort of experience or authority to help you make decisions with your money. That's on you. Do your own research. I'm just a lazy dude with an opinion. Anyway, in the oncoming weeks, I'll be sharing with you some NFT games I'm finding to be rather profitable and today we're going to start with one called BombCrypto.

By Selva Ozelli SNPIT is a groundbreaking snap-to-earn blockchain platform that allows photographers to monetize their photography by creating NFT's and selling them. Developed by Gallusys and published by Zeal Nova, SNPIT has garnered significant attention and success in Japan. SNPIT a blockchain solution for photography SNPIT taps into the contemporary habit of frequent photography by allowing photographers to earn rewards for their work by creating NFTs. Tokenizing photography is the practice of creating and selling unique digital editions of photographs as NFTs on blockchain platforms like SNPIT. These NFTs can include anything from fine art prints to press photos, to photos of art work and they are often accompanied by exclusive content like videos or audio recordings. A photographic NFT is more than just an expensive jpeg or a digital license allowing a collector to share photographer's art freely. It is a digital asset and photographer's proof of provenance traceable to the photographer at its origin on the blockchain. Since its beta launch in September 2023 after the NFT market boom, the SNPIT platform has garnered immense attention. Within a mere 21 hours, SNPIT completely sold out its collection of 10,000 Camera NFTs priced at 150 $MATIC each. In the US, on June 5 and then again on November 20, 2023, the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC') named Polygon's $MATIC as an 'unregistered security' involved in the digital asset trading on the Binance and Kraken crypto exchanges. Since then, CoinMarketCap's data revealed that $MATIC's price dropped considerably. This swift sell-out of NFTs in exchange for $MATIC in Japan, underscores the platform's rising popularity and the considerable interest in its unique features. SNIPIT is now expanding globally to introduce its innovative features to new markets focusing on Korea, MENA, and English-speaking regions Website hopefully with regulatory compliance in each new jurisdiction as the company expands globally following the tokenized collectibles trend. Toshiyuki Otsuka, the visionary CEO and founder of SNPIT, explained "SNPIT transcends being just an app; it's a movement empowering users to transform everyday moments into valuable assets. Our successful debut in Japan validates our vision, and we are excited to introduce SNPIT to a global audience. We firmly believe that our innovative blend of lifestyle and GameFi, powered by DePIN technology, will resonate with users worldwide, and we remain committed to expanding our influence." Strategic partnerships have been instrumental in enhancing SNPIT's visibility and attracting a diverse user base. Recently, SNPIT has launched the "World Repository," a photo database leveraging DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) technology, allowing users to upload photos with precise timestamps and location data. The "World Repository" aims to revolutionize how we document, share, and use visual data, fostering a more connected and informed world by enhancing map services with detailed area information. By inviting global contributions, the "World Repository" securely stores and makes these photos accessible worldwide. The database supports various applications, including cultural heritage restoration, metaverse content creation, environmental conservation, and generative AI training. For example, photographers could celebrate World Environment Day on June 5th hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with theme of land restoration, desertification and drought resilience by uploading their photos of the desert from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the World Repository. Or photographers can celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8th, hosted in-person at the UN Headquarters in New York and broadcast digitally live worldwide with a theme Awaken New Depths by uploading photos from the UNESCO OCEAN DECADE TIDES OF CHANGE WAVES OF HOPE ART SHOW hosted by Art on the Ave NYC at Fulton Center of art work of artists: Alfons Rodriguez (Melting A...

Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil an exciting new initiative: the establishment of a dedicated business unit targeting the jewelry industry with a comprehensive suite of offerings including 3D models, blockchain technology, and NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Spearheading this endeavor is Hareesh Achi, a former META & Microsoft Executive and Nextech3D.ai's current Head of Product Operations. This innovative business unit will leverage the cutting-edge technology developed by Toggle3D.ai, a spin-off company, to revolutionize the jewelry industry. At the core of this initiative is the GPT AI CAD to 3D texturing platform, capable of converting jewelry CAD files into lightweight, web-friendly 4K 3D quad meshes. Leveraging AI, the platform can texture jewelry in yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold, and create stunning lifestyle images through an AI photography studio before publishing them on the web. Gappelberg explained to Proactive how the GPT AI CAD-3D modeling technology empowers designers to craft intricate and customizable jewelry designs, which can be viewed and modified in real-time, thereby enhancing personalization and efficiency in production. This digital transformation not only streamlines the manufacturing process but also enables consumers to directly engage with the creation of their jewelry, elevating the overall customer experience. Furthermore, blockchain technology plays a crucial role in ensuring the authenticity and provenance of jewelry pieces. By recording the entire lifecycle of a jewelry item on the blockchain, from raw material sourcing to the finished product, consumers can verify its authenticity and ethical sourcing, thereby instilling trust and confidence in the brand. Lastly, NFTs serve as unique digital ownership certificates stored on a blockchain, offering a new level of exclusivity and personalization in the jewelry industry. These NFTs authenticate ownership of both physical and digital jewelry pieces, further enhancing the value proposition for consumers. #proactiveinvestors #nextech3d.ai #cse #NTAR #otcqb #metaverse #toggle3D #AugmentedReality, #SaudiArabia, #IndoorNavigation, #Technology, #TechNews, #Innovation, #GlobalTech, #DefenseTech, #EnergyInnovation, #GovernmentCollaboration, #TechPartnership, #MiddleEastTech, #PilotPrograms, #TechAdaptability, #DigitalTransformation, #SmartNavigation, #ARApplications, #FutureOfTech, #NavigationSolutions, #ARInGovernment, #SaudiTechExpansion, #ARInEducation, #ARInMuseums, #TechTrends #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

This week we delve into the future of music and investing. Imagine a world where music meets the stock market on Spotifys New Music Fridays. Exploring the concept of music NFTs that allow fans to invest in songs like they're trading stocks. Join us as we discuss how platforms like Spotify could revolutionize the music industry by introducing NFTs tied to new song releases. These NFTs would enable fans to invest in the potential success of a track, much like investing in a stock. Will it be the next chart-topper? Will it go viral? Fans would have the opportunity to put their money where their musical instincts are. We'll explore how this innovation could create a whole new dimension of fan engagement. Picture fans making bets on whether a song will become a smash hit or a sleeper hit, all while owning a piece of that musical journey.

Welcome back to the real Oshow podcast. Today we have Ross Brown, a VeeFriends and Loud Punx NFT enthusiast.Ross is a massive fan of Gary Vee's brand and is super bullish about the future of VeeFriends, because of the utility + the strength of the community that already exists. But the best value on the market for NFTs at the moment is Rolling Louds Project (Loud Punx), which gives you free VIP access to any Rolling Loud event worldwide. These NFTs currently cost about $2500 - but since it lives on the blockchain, a large majority have no idea these exist or how to buy them.That's why the education of Web 3.0 is so important, not to go all in but to slowly learn about what is coming down the pipe because it is happening quicker than most think.We walk through each project's pros and cons, but more specifically, get educated on the blockchain, why the utility of NFTs matter, and the future of this brand-new technology.NFTs will be an essential part of sports ticketing, contacts, and mortgages as it progresses and becomes more simplified, in the same light as the World Wide Web did in the early 2000s.Thank you for supporting our show, and if you enjoyed it, please share it with someone that may find it worthwhile.All love, Check Out our Youtube Page- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoqz3s_B_VYHuQtuVIDxpiQ Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealoshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTweet @zacharyowings2 with what you thought about the podcast or what you want us to discuss in future shows. Music by Leno Tk- Greatness (Streaming All Platforms)

This entire podcast is based on a WHAT IF Mcdonalds' and the likes of Starbucks and Chick Fil could enter the Web3 space with their respective 95 Billion in annual sales and the Impact it would have on the next generation of technology - in this podcast, I detail a lot of ideas within the podcast so LISTEN TO THE PODCAST first - then dive into just some of my research below.McDonald's products could be merged into an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) or Phygital (Physical + Digital) format—just a few ideas to start.NFT Collectible Toys: McDonald's is known for its Happy Meal toys. Instead of physical toys, they could create NFT versions of these toys. Each NFT could be unique, allowing customers to collect and trade them digitally. These NFT collectibles could have additional features, such as virtual interactions or mini-games not to mention the opportunity with AR/VR and the Apple Invasion.Limited Edition NFT Menu Items: McDonald's could release limited edition menu items as NFTs. Customers who own these NFTs would have exclusive access to redeem the corresponding menu item in their local McDonald's restaurant. This creates scarcity and adds a digital collectible element to the dining experience.Virtual Branded Merchandise: McDonald's could collaborate with artists, celebs or designers to create virtual branded merchandise in NFTs. These could include virtual clothing items, accessories, or even virtual furniture for online avatars or virtual reality platforms. Customers can purchase these NFTs and use them to personalize their digital presence. There are already a plethora of Metaverses that are beginning to launch in these areas, along with the use case of media, music and film that are breaking into new areas, which could easily align with McD!Augmented Reality (AR) NFTs: McDonald's could create AR-enabled NFTs that customers can use with their smartphones or AR glasses. These NFTs could unlock interactive and immersive experiences, such as virtual tours of McDonald's history, animated characters, or AR games that overlay McDonald's-themed elements onto the real world. This is an easy integration with ar recent interview I did with Cryptoys! You will get the picture.Digital Discount Coupons: McDonald's could offer NFT-based digital discount coupons. Customers who hold these NFTs can access exclusive discounts or promotions when ordering through their mobile app or online platforms. The NFT serves as proof of eligibility and provides a unique and trackable discount mechanism.Phygital NFT Packaging: McDonald's could introduce physical packaging with embedded NFTs. Each packaging could have a unique QR code or NFC tag that grants access to a digital reward or experience, such as exclusive content, games, or collectibles. This bridges the physical and digital worlds, offering an interactive and engaging customer experience.Virtual McDonald's Restaurants: McDonald's could create virtual restaurants in metaverse platforms or virtual reality environments. Customers can visit these virtual restaurants, order virtual meals, and enjoy immersive dining experiences. They could even earn NFT rewards or unlock special features by engaging with the virtual McDonald's ecosystem. I dive a little deeper with the Star Atlas team in the videos before - enter the rabbit hole!It's worth noting that these are conceptual examples, and the implementation and feasibility would require careful consideration and collaboration between McDonald's and experienced NFT developers or digital experience agencies.Here is my take of the entry of StarbucksThe Bad But Good Problem To HaveIf McDonald's were to launch a Digital Collectible or NFT campaign that garnered widespread customer demand, it could significantly strain existing blockchain networks' scalability. Here are a few potential challenges and solutions:Network Congestion: With millions of customers trying to purchase or interact with the NFTs simultaneously, the blockchain network could experience congestion, leading to slow transaction processing and high fees. To mitigate this, McDonald's could explore using blockchain networks with higher transaction throughput or scalability solutions like layer-2 solutions or sidechains.Scalability Solutions: Layer-2 solutions, such as state channels or sidechains, can help alleviate congestion by periodically processing transactions off-chain and settling them on the main blockchain. These solutions enable faster and cheaper transactions while benefiting from the underlying blockchain's security and decentralization.NFT Token Standards: NFT token standards can also impact scalability. For example, Ethereum's ERC-721 standard, which is widely used for NFTs, may face scalability challenges during periods of high demand. McDonald's could consider alternative blockchain platforms or token standards specifically designed for scalability and can handle large transactions.Pre-Minting or Batch Minting: McDonald's could pre-mint many NFTs in advance to meet the anticipated demand. By minting a batch of NFTs beforehand, customers can purchase or claim them more quickly, reducing the load on the blockchain network during the campaign. However, this approach would require careful management to ensure fairness and prevent reselling.Load Balancing and Infrastructure: McDonald's could work with blockchain infrastructure providers or deploy their nodes strategically to handle the increased demand. Load balancing techniques and optimized infrastructure can help distribute the network load and improve the overall scalability and responsiveness of the blockchain network.Hybrid Solutions: McDonald's could explore hybrid solutions combining blockchain technology's benefits with off-chain systems. This could involve using blockchain for the initial issuance and ownership verification of NFTs while leveraging centralized servers or cloud infrastructure for high-volume interactions, such as trading or displaying NFT metadata.Future Blockchain Developments: The blockchain industry is continuously evolving, and new advancements in scalability, such as sharding, stateless chains, or Layer-1 solutions like Ethereum 2.0, may address the scalability concerns in the future. McDonald's could monitor these developments and plan their NFT campaigns accordingly.McDonald's must partner with experienced blockchain developers, scalability experts, and infrastructure providers to ensure the successful execution of a large-scale NFT campaign while considering current blockchain networks' limitations and scalability challenges.

Big thanks to our sponsors for this episode! Index.dev: https://www.index.dev/hire?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=HQLA&utm_campaign=podcast Newnique: https://www.newnique.com.au/contact In Episode 31 of HQLA, the hosts discuss various topics related to AI and technology. They start with a discussion on NFTs, particularly a song created using AI deep fake technology featuring Drake and The Weeknd, which sparks debates on intellectual property. They also mention musician Grimes' innovative but risky decision to split AI-generated music royalties. The hosts then move on to Apple's venture into banking, highlighting their partnership with Goldman Sachs for a high-yield savings account and buy now, pay later service, which is seen as a smart move for the tech giant. The episode delves into the world of AI, focusing on two new developments: AutoGPT and BabyAGI. AutoGPT is discussed in detail, as it automates tasks like website building and continuous self-improvement through a feedback loop, potentially replacing the need for prompt engineers. The hosts also mention AgentGPT as a solution to AutoGPT's lack of user interface. The future applications of AI are speculated upon, emphasizing cost and effort reduction in website creation, content generation, customized user experiences, real-time iteration of webpages based on user interactions, and on-demand entertainment. The hosts suggest that startups may need to reassess their business models due to these AI advancements, as many services can be more efficiently handled by AI, making traditional startup solutions less cost-effective. The requirements for setting up AutoGPT are explained, including a Python setup, IDE, and OpenAI subscription. In other news, Nike collaborates with RTFKT to release an NFT collection of Airforce 1 designs. Customers can redeem the NFTs for physical sneakers during a limited forge period on the RTFKT website. These NFTs are available on secondary markets, with prices ranging from $500 to $8,500 USD, and the shoes are set to ship in Q4 2023. Revere, a London-based company, promoted their new design and R-Tec spray shop through a marketing stunt involving a tagged Range Rover left outside Harrods in London. The incident was falsely claimed by the TV show 'Cheaters,' and the R-Tec team sprayed another vehicle with 'REVERENOTREVENGE'. Skittles staged a Broadway show called 'Skittles Commercial: The Broadway Musical' during Super Bowl Sunday in 2019, focusing on the manipulative nature of advertising. In 2017, Skittles streamed a Super Bowl ad exclusively to one teenage fan, with the world watching his reaction live on Skittles' Facebook page. Go Puff promoted its app in 2017 by sharing weird orders from actual customers on their Twitter page. Milka, upon entering the German and French markets in 2013, left out one square of chocolate from their bars, allowing purchasers to claim the missing piece or send it to a loved one using a code on the packaging. In 2016, the Art Institute of Chicago partnered with Airbnb to create an immersive artwork experience, re-creating Van Gogh's 'Bedroom in Arles'. The room was advertised for rent, and several respondents were able to rent it on Airbnb for $10 per night.

On this episode, Fanzo tackles the challenge of not having enough use cases within Web 3.0 focused on non-profits and charities and how they can leverage the blockchain and web 3.0. to solve problems and create new experiences. Fanzo shares three of his face examples and ways it can be leveraged but there are even more possible ways Non-profits can leverage NFTs. Non-profits can leverage NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) in several ways to generate funds and support their cause. Here are some ways non-profits can use NFTs: Create exclusive digital collectibles: Non-profits can create digital art, music, videos, or any other digital assets and convert them into NFTs. They can then sell these NFTs to collectors, who can own a unique piece of digital art and contribute to the non-profit's cause at the same time. Auction unique experiences: Non-profits can create NFTs that represent exclusive experiences, such as a meet-and-greet with a celebrity or a behind-the-scenes tour of a famous location. They can then auction these NFTs to the highest bidder, with the proceeds going to the non-profit. Accept donations in the form of NFTs: Non-profits can accept donations in the form of NFTs, just like they would accept traditional currencies. Supporters can donate their NFTs, which can then be sold by the non-profit to raise funds. Incentivize donations with limited-edition NFTs: Non-profits can create limited-edition NFTs that are only available to donors who contribute a certain amount. These NFTs can be used as a way to incentivize donations and reward supporters for their contributions. Use NFTs to showcase impact: Non-profits can use NFTs to showcase the impact of their work by creating NFTs that represent the positive outcomes of their programs. For example, an NFT could represent a tree planted by an environmental organization or a child who received a scholarship from an education-focused non-profit.

As we begin a New Year, host British Keerthi provides a breakdown on the different types of debate styles. She then turns into American Keerthi to interview Ally and Emma Chen about NFTS. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, prove to be a more eccentric innovation than controversial Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Famous for its multimillion dollar sales in 2021, NFTs arose as the world shifted to virtual life, work, and school. Although simply a jpeg of digital art with so-called “copyrights” for the artist, the technology behind these codes with digital graphics have far more benefit for aspiring artists. Relying on the technology of cryptocurrency, NFTs provide ownership rights features allowing artists to make passive income off of their works. However, skeptics debate whether NFTs are simply an overrated fad or a prosperous invention for future generations.

Uh, at this point, I, I imagine, uh, folks have already heard the Tim Ferris, uh, launch of his nft, but we'll get into that in a bit. How it, you know, livened up the market a little bit, gave it a little cock punch. [00:01:06] I guess that's a thing we say. Boy. Yeah. I mean, you know, crypto needs more, more odd sayings to have people overhear in other conversations. Right from, from Normies. So now you can talk about, it's been minutes cock punch. Yeah. Did you mint, you didn't get the minty cock punch, right? I was on the wait list. [00:01:24] I was right there at exactly the right time. It felt like the old days of, yeah, it felt like the good old days of like, oh, I didn't know I was in a gas war. Cause I thought I was. and approved pre whitelist. Exactly. At like the time when they said to do it and it got gased. I was like, whoa. I didn't think that was what we were doing here. [00:01:42] Yeah. I was fortunate to have, fortunate enough to have one, uh, mint spot for that one and a, a raffle. Um, so it did mint, uh, those, yeah, it's been, been quite some volume. People get into that a bit more, but, uh, anything else new in your wallet recently? George? Well, uh, I already was, uh, celebrating the fact that I got the artifact Nike dunk, uh, not too long ago. [00:02:04] Uh, still pretty pleased by that. But then I got dropped these, uh, shield Age things that I think, um, came as a result of one of our previous, um, uh, previous projects that we talked about. Uh, the sort of, um, looking for it, but the, the membership. So I hadn't gotten an interesting drop in of it. So yeah, I cotu tsunami sum. [00:02:27] Pronounce that. Yeah, we did mention that one. Or, um, yeah. Cool. I, uh, had one, uh, I picked up one new piece today from Colby. It was a very small edition. Uh, uh, it was a hundred edition, hundred pieces total. Um, there were 70 for sale, quite really small. They were 0.2. It was a project they hadn't heard about artifacts. [00:02:48] So that, that's those kind of interesting to check out a lot of 3D objects from. As they state a hundred, uh, premier crypto artists of col use is the latest one. We've had some others there too. Um, I think those are, I, I can't quite tell what's going on. They were, like I said, they were at 0.2 at one, uh, from the, uh, mint, but they were really just for sale on, on open sea, so it wasn't quite minting. [00:03:13] It, uh, you're actually picking one of the, uh, the existing tokens and, and hoping that. out , you, you just beat somebody else to it. So missed on a few, got one. Uh, no, but it's, uh, little different experience. Um, it does feel like there's, you know, overall it does feel like there's, there's people waiting around for the right projects. [00:03:35] Yeah, I mean, I think the, the degenerates are still here. If you look at like N F T sale volumes, , um, over the past seven days. Um, they're, you know, slightly up actually, uh, overall by about, depending on how you're looking at it, just on the Ethereum network by like 10%. So I wonder if, you know the, there's a, a December end of year bump, but I mean, we've been talking about it. [00:03:57] I do have to do some harvesting. I'm like, it's kind. The clock is going and I'm gonna be so frustrated with myself if I didn't like, uh, go through the old, uh, catalog of broken dreams. We'll call them. Yeah, at the very least, I mean, I would say it's something I did last year was even just swapping. Tokens from the same collection with other people in that had pieces from that collection. [00:04:19] Um, you know, if you're looking to, to move your token, um, you know, and, and sell it cheaply and then pick one up from another, if you don't, you know, maybe just wanna help somebody else out, maybe hop in and discord, look at ways that you can take a, uh, you know, realize a loss, um, and maybe help somebody else out. [00:04:36] Those, those losses can be big when it comes to tax. Yeah, well, I'll be in our discord. I may have a Bonny or two that I bought at the wrong time. . Yeah. Up in our discord up project Discord, you know, uh, we, we are not , we're not, uh, excluding ourselves with this need to, uh, to, um, to take some losses here. Yeah. [00:04:59] Well, on the news side, uh, looks like. You've shopped quite a bit here. You've got a ledger, just launched a new hardware wallet for your NFTs. Am I dumb? Like why? Like, I thought we could just toss our NFTs on their last wallet. Like what is special about this thing? Yeah, so this is, it's, it's an interesting wallet here. [00:05:17] This is, um, little bit different than, than what you've seen before. A lot of the wallets that we've seen have been very much like u USB keys. Hmm. Uh, this is a, this actually has images. It looks a little bit more, it's a, about size of a credit card or the, uh, length by width of a credit card. It's thicker. [00:05:35] It's designed by Tony Fidel who, uh, was with. Apple for a long time was the, uh, the designer of the, the iPod signed many of their, of apple's famous devices. Um, so what this does is put along the side, it's a, um, the sign, there's a digital screen that you can label it with, and then on the front there's also a digital screen, so you can see your NFTs there. [00:05:59] Um, trying to make it a little, um, more okay activity happening on the device. Um, and they've used mostly hardware wallets out there. It's a little. Putting a key in and then really doing most of it on your, on your computer. Uh, I guess all I've done is as my desktop or my laptop, I should say, not on my mobile with a, uh, With a, uh, hardware wallet. [00:06:22] Um, you know, that being said, uh, yeah, so there's a, looks really cool. That being said, hasn't actually been, uh, tested out much yet. Um, you know, ledger is a, a trusted name among hardware wallets. It's not one that I've used, uh, personally. Um, this is, this does use Bluetooth, which I've been, I've been somewhat hesitant to, to, uh, use a, um, hardware wallet with Bluetooth. [00:06:47] Um, to me it's. The potential risks seem not worth the, the convenience of, of not plugging it in. Um, but I, I am curious to see what people think about this once it, uh, is fully released. I mean, it's some beautiful piece of looking tech, I'll say that. Mm-hmm. and a lot more than I think we've seen for a while. [00:07:08] Yeah. I, you know, it's kind of one of those things like, I don't fully understand. The upside of having a screen, because I use my, uh, mobile phone to show things when I wanna show it really quickly. Like, oh, I own this thing. And like, um, and makes me nervous. Silly. One of thing around still putting the safes a lot. [00:07:27] I don't wanna Oh, but then I usb Well, um, but I think it, you know, just having more options, um, for hardware wallets I think is, is great. They. They're, they're relatively underused at this point by, by the crypto community. I think. [00:07:42] Let's see, next here, we've got some more, uh, Nike Artifact News. Um, so they are hinting at a, a move to earn, uh, type of, uh, feature for the, this new shoe that they have dropped. I think we, we talked about this a little bit. Um, they discovered they. They announced the physical shoe, um, at nf? Yeah, at the NFT Now event. [00:08:10] At, at, during Miami Art Week. Art Basel. Um, and now sounds like they may be going, um, a little bit in the, uh, direction of, uh, uh, why my, what's the, uh, the one that's done this already? George, uh oh, the, it was on Solana, right? Right. Oh God. Oh, hold on, man. Blanking, blanking, . Um, but you know, it's interesting, you know, they've, we've got a couple, actually I think we have two items, step, a step in. [00:08:42] There we go. You know, definitely a bigger name in this. And you know, we've seen them, I don't know, we've talked about with step, it's big. A lot of that is. About advertising and then being able to, uh, get you to check these things so that you're, you know, getting exposure to the new ads and everything. So, um, interesting that they're interesting to see that Nike's also getting into that. [00:09:00] I would think that they would be a little bit more of, uh, gaming it or gaming it so you can get your own points and whatnot to, uh, use in their ecosystem. Um, [00:09:11] we. Shoot up. We've got one other, uh, Nike story here. Um, that. I'm actually just throwing it in. Um, so this, so part of this news was a little disappointing to some of their, uh, longtime holders of the, the monolith boxes. Uh, this, the news was the shoes would only be available to ship to the United States. [00:09:36] This had never been discussed before in, uh, in any of their drops. When they, I mean, they've gone from the artifact shoot to different. Nike monolith boxes and, and whatnot. So this has, uh, definitely disappointed some of the holders. We've seen some, some, uh, big price drops in, um, a couple of their collections as well. [00:10:01] Um, you know, so they're, um, it's not clear to me if this, the, the move to. Part would also be blocked outside of the us. My, my hunch is that it's not going to be supported outside of the us so that would be a, you know, relatively big detri detriment to the international, uh, customer base. Yeah. I'm managering They're having a real fun time in the, in the legal department. [00:10:24] I just, I was also looking at this, are we, are we saying that there's another official word for the. Physical, digital called Fidgital. Are they gonna stick with fidgital as a real word? Are we doing that? I, I mean, it's pretty bad, right? It's a, we gotta do better on that. It feels, I feel like it's going around and I really don't like it. [00:10:44] I think it's too late. It's not up to us. You're telling me I'm still ruining, I'm still rooting for my ons. I just wanna call NFTs ons. Come on, . I. All right. We get onto our next story here. So, oh man, we've talked about Reddit and how they're just killing it, but not with NFTs, of course, with digital collectibles, right? [00:11:05] So they have, they're not NFTs, very clear. Definitely NFT Man, 216,000 minted in a single day. This is a new record for, for their platform and I. For any platform, um, you know, outside of somebody just saying that they maybe minted a whole bunch of, uh, tokens on their own. Um, this is, this is crazy. They just keep coming in waves. [00:11:28] People are, there's new creators. Just, just learning from what's been done before and, and killing it with, with new releases. This is cool. I have not, you know, I, I still haven't fully jumped, you know, fully. Uh, jumped into that NFT or the, uh, the Reddit n f t universe. But man, this is, this is great. Yeah. And guess what? [00:11:50] It's all happening on Polygon, I'm pretty sure here. Um, , full disclosure. Yeah, I like Polygon. [00:11:59] Okay. We've got, finally, we've got ape. Staking coming and it's causing problems because of course, right? You guys rolled something else out. Uh, there are people that are losing all of their, to their steak tokens because they sell, they do not realize that they're bored, ape or they're muttin or whatever. [00:12:21] Ape they might have or dog or whatever. I don't exactly know how the, the staking works, but it, it is essentially the key to the tokens. If you stake with, if you stake the tokens, you must have that NFT to get them back. Some people don't seem to realize this, think that's maybe based on the, the wallet instead, other people losing some pretty big, uh, big token amounts from this. [00:12:43] Um, this is one. The numbers look insane right now. There's people . If you go on Twitter, you'll find people talking about, you know, retiring, living off the, uh, the staked token income. You know, we've seen how these play out. If you're thinking about anything back like that, please, please look at how those have played out in the past, every single time. [00:13:04] Not like, oh, maybe this is different every single time. , it's almost tiresome watching that movie play out again and again. And just to explain the way that like staking is promised is you lock up your coins here, we give you yield from the magical yield ferry. Don't ask any questions about the magical internet money that will obviously just keep coming as long as you keep pumping the price and nothing will ever happen. [00:13:30] Cuz you know, music will always keep playing. The money must come from somewhere and you know, I would hope. , anybody new getting into it would realize that. But if you're already in, here's the weird thing, I will say this as somebody who has been in the middle of, you know, the circus while the music is playing and it's like pretty amazing, you know, when magic money is just dropping into your wallet. [00:13:55] It just doesn't last though. And it, you know, it can, it can be hard to pull out, but like if you possibly can, you know, capture that initial investment as quickly as possible. And, you know, do not think of it as like a huge opportunity. It just, where does the money come from? And it can't be magical Internet fairies. [00:14:15] That's the answer. [00:14:17] All right. Hey, do you remember that, uh, story about we're gonna buy the Constitution? You know, all the, the, oh, it was getting, that was like a year ago today almost, right? Yeah. You know how that died? Well, it's. Another, there's another group getting together trying to buy the Constitution, um, constitution DAO two. [00:14:37] This is another copy of the Constitution. Remember, if you remember from the last one, it was, it ended up being bought by, uh, Kenneth Griffin from Citadel, um, , Citadel Ventures. He basically saw that Dow had raised about 40, I wanna say about 45 million or something. So that is 45. Oh one, you know, whatever it might be, ready to go 46 million and, and, uh, beat that bid. [00:15:04] Uh, I think they're trying to, so they're selling NFTs with this one. I, I know they're trying to not say exactly how much they have. I don't know exactly how it's gonna work. I mean, it's on chain, but, you know, I also think it's a pretty different environment than, than maybe we were in at that time. So we'll see. [00:15:22] What kind of money gets, uh, gets raised. To, uh, to go after this addition. Is that the Affordable project? go? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you wanna bring that one. . I just like on their site, they've got Nick Cage, they're really playing it up. Um, just a picture of 'em. Not like public endorsement, but, uh, pretty funny. [00:15:47] Good luck. I don't understand the, I mean, the utility of own. an artifact like that, but I guess I do. At least it's worth something, right? Like ar arguably, like if you have people like, uh, Ken Griffin, like spending over 47 million to buy the thing, there's some market out there. Yeah. I mean, they're not making more. [00:16:11] Well, I mean, I guess, I don't know. Are they, are they on the blockchain? I don't know how many there really are [00:16:17] They've raised 36 eats so far. I just found that app. So maybe it's a ways to go. 36 eth Looks like they've total public amount raised so far. Th what's No, you're missing. It's gotta be more. That's not gonna do it. . They're getting boy. [00:16:38] All right, well, we'll see what happens. We'll, uh, we may come back with an update on that . Yeah, well, we talked, well talking about, speaking of Polygon, as you were earlier, we got Starbucks and their N F T efforts back here. They are actually rolling these out to beta, uh, beta testers now. Um, I, yeah, we've talked about how we haven't really, uh, seen much about this, but, you know, maybe there are just more beta testers being able to use the points and everything, but, you know, they're, they're moving ahead. [00:17:09] That's. I'm kind of shocked to see that nifty gateway is going to be powering their marketplace. Yeah. Why? . Why? Why? I mean, why am I shocked? Why are you No, no, no, no, no. Why are you shocked? , uh, why are they, why are they doing that? Why are they throwing in with a centralized NFT marketplace that has ties to Gemini Winklevoss twins that I think owe or owed as much as 900 million from the FTX scandal and collapse? [00:17:40] I don't know. Just questions. Just questions. Full disclosure. I have, I think, systematically removed every single, uh, nifty I had on that. , uh, just in case. Yeah. Not so bad. Can't hurt to have that in your, your own wallet, right? It's self custody. Mm-hmm. [00:17:58] Well, I can talk about Zed cause I know we're gonna be pushing our, uh, We're gonna push in our talk about Cock Punch, uh, a little bit later. But, uh, look, Zed, the, I would say the game that, uh, really got me into NFTs, uh, with regard to horse racing and whatnot, uh, you know, they're still kicking four years down the road and they have a major update to the platform, which is always kind of funny because there's a lot of people who bought a lot of these horses. [00:18:27] And a lot of, I know, yeah, I know of some, I know of one in particular, one of them. Uh, but they're, I will say impressively updating and not afraid to sort of innovate, but they're adding like levels, which is gonna increase, um, how people are getting like, experienced points on top of their horses. So, you know, it's kind of interesting to see that they had an original asset near Horse, which was an N F T, but there were hidden attributes, um, that could sort of only be seen on their system, not necessarily publicly. [00:18:55] You could see their stats. So, These NFTs are sort of evolving in a game, in a way that I don't see any other game doing. And they're, you know, , they're doing it all on the blockchain. It's all in public, right? It's happening on Polygon. So they're trying to just make it, um, you know, more fun as a, as a gameplay. [00:19:13] And, you know, I have a bunch of these horses that are being lent out on a regular basis now. And, you know, people, people are, are racing them. Um, it's interest. Awesome. I feel like we should have like, theme music for, for the stables, the stable report or something from, for George. What's going on with, with not stable report? [00:19:35] it's, it's mostly not stable. It's actually stable. Let's not moving too much. Awesome. Um, let's see. So we don't, well we're gonna discuss a big project today. We don't have a specific project that we're. Going to, uh, to bring, I don't think, unless you, you have a surprise for us at the last moment here, George. [00:19:56] I don't have any buzzer beaters. You know, I think, uh, I, I'm still just, uh, enjoying the fact that I picked up the, uh, The artifact there. But I will say because of the, uh, , because of the news that we just talked about with Nike and people being, I think, a little frustrated, um, the floor price is, uh, well below where I, uh, would say you, yeah, I was talking about buying it before you had, it was such a great buy until that. [00:20:24] It looked like you had a great offer on it and things had kind of started picking up and then the news came out and, uh, you know, as, ah, it does feel like, man, anytime you, you actually release news, it's just, it's never good. Uh, floor Bryce is at, uh, 0.28, uh, call it two at 0.29. So, um, it is lowest it has been in quite some time. [00:20:46] So if you think Nike can, you know, figure out how to make shoes a thing, uh, you know, maybe. Uh, pull up on it, but it's, um, yeah, I don't know. It's pretty much kinda my, my joke that I kind of expected that is like, as soon as I buy it, I'll tell you what's gonna happen. Yeah. Has that fallen knife right. I'm sorry. [00:21:07] That is important. So let us, of course, let us know, uh, you know, we'll, we'll get to talk about Cock Punch and everything here. Of course, you'll have to let the, uh, let the community, let the, the listeners know if you do pick one up. Cause we know what that will we'll do to the price, right, George? Oh, right to the mo. [00:21:21] Well, I mean, this podcast is definitely gonna drive it right back up, so no worries on that. Moving markets every day. All right, so we talked a little about this project. We, we, everybody knows about this at this point. If you're. Yeah, you probably do the Tim Ferris project that, you know, he started talking about on his blog. [00:21:40] It's, you know, really kind of funny looking, uh, chickens, but it's a whole fictional, we are preveal here to just noting as we, as we record this, we are pre preveal. Uh, so, you know, who knows what may have. Post reveal. Yeah. Uh, well, I I did try to get one. You actually got one. Uh, it's sold at 0.3 and, you know, sold out in like classic in inside of minutes because there was like far more. [00:22:11] Uh, I think marketing, uh, associated on it, uh, easy. Great marketer, isn't he? The guy knows how to market things, right? Like, you know, this is the person who, you know, made, basically made it under the scene with like a four hour work week, right? Where. , he actually came up with the title of that book after, like running a bunch of different ads to see what people would click on. [00:22:32] And he is like, oh, that . So, uh, he's certainly been in the game and he has, you know, friends like Kevin Rose, who as soon as you, I think have him on your project in any way, shape or form, saying like, I'm gonna support this. Like, there's just a lot of institutional. Uh, and old holders that all just follow him no matter what. [00:22:54] So right, you get the proof holders, you get the moon Bird people and anyone that just feels like they maybe missed out on those and still is a big fan. You know, I think overall we've, we've seen a lot of collections recently that I think speak to people that, um, maybe are of a similar age background, whatnot. [00:23:15] To Tim Ferris. And you know, one of the things that he was great at with his marketing of his books was really understanding where to, to make it feel like he's everywhere in a specific community. And I think he's done that here. He's been on Kevin Rose podcast. He's been on, he's been on just, just all of the, the major, uh, n F NFT and Crypto Media [00:23:37] Um, it's been on that tour and it's, it would be hard to not know about this if you're, you're in crypto. Um, This was, I mean, it was impressive volume here. This was a collection of 5,555 pieces. Pretty, I feel like we've seen a lot of collections going smaller recently, maybe with, you know, with the, uh, the editions of the market and, you know, this is a, this is a big collection sold out quickly, as you said. [00:24:04] I think, you know, you mentioned that it was about 10% overallocated not clear to me that it. It was only 10% based on how quickly that went. Uh, I think it may have been more regardless. It's, I mean, it's, it's impressive that there was this much just waiting out there for this, this project. He, he's then acted as a collector in the space, although I, as far as I know, his wallet is, is not known. [00:24:31] Um, but he has been at different events that reached out at the, uh, the, uh, Martha. Event for art blocks, um, as was Kevin Rose. Um, so, you know, he's, he's definitely been around and seems to understand a lot of the, some of the nuances of, of, of the NFT ecosystem and how to release a project. But this is, it's pretty different than from anything he's done before. [00:24:59] I mean, this is a, it's a, it's gonna be a fictional. Right. With these characters. He's launched a separate podcast to, I dunno if you'd say to support it, but it's sort of about kind of the, the creative exploration of this project. Right? Yeah. He's done some unique things here. Obviously we talked about the item size, which is different. [00:25:21] Uh, he has made it very clear, I, I don't think he's having a discord. Maybe that's, , he is promising exactly zero utility . Um, and like he's doing it like very much upfront, which, you know, if you look back pretty different than, you know, the Kevin Rose style of being like, oh, I'm gonna be sending you like all this kind of stuff. [00:25:43] You're gonna get alpha into discord. You're gonna be part of this. Like, I think Tim is just like, look, I design some really cool, funny, uh, art that pairs with an entire, uh, story narrative that he's just going to launch and. Uh, whole podcast behind it. And so it'll, um, you know, it'll be a potential creative asset, uh, that he, you know, tries to, to build behind. [00:26:07] And I see Gary Vaynerchuk trying to, you know, do this with, or talk about doing this mm-hmm. , uh, with, uh, v Friends, right? How there's gonna be stories associated with all these like little motivational cri critters running around business like, okay. Uh, This is, um, an interesting experiment. I was, I was frustrated. [00:26:27] I, uh, I really did wanna get one, but now I'm, you know, sort of hawing this, uh, , this price. Uh, as it kind of comes down, I think there's like, uh, probably a lot. What are we looking at right now? We're at point, point, uh, nine, six. Um, and I know you obviously picked it up at 0.3 probably on Right? This wasn't, I mean, I saw at one point there. [00:26:49] Solid sales at 1 1 5. And then it seemed to come back down to one three when I last looked at it, uh, before, before going to, to, to sleep the, uh, the night of, of the mint. Um, so it's come down a little bit. very, uh, I'm curious to see what happens with this. It's, yeah, it's very ex, almost the opposite of, of proof and what Kevin Rose has done in terms of not, you know, promising nothing. [00:27:15] I don't know exactly what to expect, um, in terms of the project and it, and it's not, it's not the type of project that I would typically just jump into. Because of the lack of details and lack of clarity about what's going on. It's the Tim Ferriss name certainly is, is what's carrying this project right now. [00:27:36] Yeah. Uh, clearly that's, that's in there. I, I do see that they did over 7 million in, you know, the first seven days and like, it hasn't been seven days, but it's been, you're sort of like aggregating a few days. , uh, whenever this comes out, I think it's also, um, it's interesting to see. I have never seen something of this volume, uh, go directly toward a nonprofit, uh, the Foundation, uh, which, you know, it is Tim's Foundation, so you're like, yeah, I did go to a nonprofit, but I think it's maybe slightly different what it is. [00:28:10] Your own personal, basically like nonprofits, you're running. Right, right, right. Like that, I mean, yeah. You, you get go do good work. That's fun to do with it. And you know, there's something about, you know, try, you know, believing in what you're doing. But yeah, it's not giving it away. We're not going, it's not going. [00:28:27] The Humane Society, I mean, again, look, there's a lot of oversight. Um, you know, because it's a, you know, they have to file as a public charity, uh, a nine 90, which you get full, uh, disclosures on how people are compensated. So you get the top three people that are compensated at the organization. Like my other, my other world is deeply in nonprofits, so I looking at this from that lens too, being like, holy cow. [00:28:52] Like if, you know, had a celebrity in a way to, to do it, like guess what? Like he, you don't pay taxes when you donate all of that money to a nonprofit and then you use it operat. You made money. So one of the things that, you know, I would give you, I imagine if he's giving it to that, that's also giving money to a nonprofit, even if it's his, it is a filed, we could, you know, I have a, I have a nonprofit that I run and I could have a drop and I could send all of the money to that nonprofit and I could hire me, which I do. [00:29:28] I work for it and I pay myself through it. I, I, I'm, I don't mean to be throwing any fud actually at, at all. I'm just looking at it can be done the wrong way. It can be, there's a lot of, there's a lot of variables in here, and we've seen cases where it's not done right. I'm not, neither of us are saying that that's the case here, or if Ferris is doing the, let me just take that clip, and we're like, well, hypothetically, , I think we've seen some issues where people have tried to, To maybe give money to certain organizations in the crypto space to maybe make things look better than they are. [00:30:09] Again, not what's happening. It just can be done. Um, and it hasn't been done too, some pretty ridiculous, uh, degrees in crypto anywhere. Well, The other question that kind of raises in my mind here, um, is that, let's just be honest, like it takes money to build community, to build assets, to build that podcast. [00:30:29] He's going to now all of the secondary sales, of which he gets 6.9% because he's a goofball, 69%. Like it's just funny, , 6.9%, uh, of the transactions that, um, you know, I, I don't know what networks are gonna. You know, allowing this, or not allowing it with author fees, but like, that's how that will actually generate its initial revenue, right? [00:30:55] Like, although the guy knows how to run a podcast, I'm sure he can get ads on top of his, like, fictional narratives and like go from there. But that, you know, it is a very different thing starting a company with like just the royalties that come off of this versus like starting a company with 7 million, like, you know, that's headcount, right? [00:31:12] that's head of marketing, head of creative, like, you know, the. Is, um, something Yeah, and you figure that most of those, you know, a good percentage of the royalties are gonna come in, you know, shortly after men. You know, as we, as we are recording this, it's really, we're less than a day and a half think we're about 30 hours, uh, from mid time. [00:31:35] Um, so, you know, we've seen a ton of volume and, well, it's hard to say, you know, the, the number of transactions likely slows down. It's hard to say what's going to happen. The price. So, you know, you don't know what the royalty, uh, royalties will end up being. Um, you know, that being said, it is, you know, he's got a big project to run here. [00:31:54] He is doing a podcast. He has, he, he announced the new podcast on his current podcast and said it was a. I think he said it was a 32nd promo for the new one. It was still a five plus minute recording because he fills those things with ads. He's real. If you've listened to his podcast, you'll know that man, there are a ton of ads and there are a ton of listeners. [00:32:16] They pay some big money. Uh, he, you know, he's found a way to make it work and he's not. Yeah, we, you know, we just talked about how it's his own nonprofit also, if he. if, if things weren't going so well. That's a lot of, a lot of money he just raised, you know, he, he's clearly, uh, clearly doing all right otherwise, that he, that he can do something like that. [00:32:36] I, I do expect that he'll be able to bring some of that to the, uh, the new podcast as well. Yeah, there's, um, you know, as I look at it, there's one wallet that has, um, like 10% of the project and it's unnamed exactly. and maybe tens like he may have just held on, he must have held onto it. So likes kinda interesting to be like, oh, there it is. [00:33:00] Like none of 'em have moved out. Um, as far as I can see, they're just like all airdropped to this wallet. So, uh, you know, I wonder how much of that supply the thing or something. I would think. Yeah. So I mean, if you're in this project, that's like one of those things that we're looking at to be like, all right, what is the distribution of holders? [00:33:22] and in a different world, right? Like, you know, you, if you have, uh, 10% of a project that will potentially just be sold along the way. Um, it's important to know that. And again, without a, a discord, I wonder if that actually kind of bites them a little bit because these people are gonna feel less of a camaraderie with each other, less of a connection and understanding of like, what's, what's being planned, other than like tuning into the, like , the podcast b. [00:33:51] Right. Yeah, that's, that is interesting. It's an interesting, interesting choice not to go with the, the discord. I think we've feel like we've seen that from, from some of the Freeman projects recently. You know, obviously at 0.3, this was not a Freeman kind of, uh, I don't know. I think we've, I'm not saying we've seen the end of Freeman's. [00:34:08] I just think, you know, people got maybe a little carried away with the idea that everything was going to be a free mint. And you know, more often I think this is going to be. I think most successful projects will actually start with a midprice because there is demand and it does give them something to play with, um, in terms of building afterward. [00:34:27] Yeah, I um, think it's another example too. You know, your. You're able to see, like, here's somebody who has, you know, uh, a brand and trust. And so if you're a creator who has built up an audience and audience trust over a period of time, like this is a playbook. And we've seen it, you know, run, uh, many times, but like, you know, really, I can only think of the, like Gary Vaynerchuk, Kevin Rose, Tim Ferris, like, uh, you know, you get some other stuff out there. [00:34:58] But in terms of like people that had. Large audience of podcasts, like running that type of play? Um, I, there's a lot more out there and I think there's a lot more creators that are like, at some point I know I'm gonna have to get into this game. Uh, I, you know, I think they'll probably care about not wanting to rug their supporters. [00:35:17] Uh, so watching it carefully because Tim cares, uh, and has c. Uh, that brand of trust. So I, uh, I don't own one, but if that price, I, I'll, I'll throw a dart at it. I was gonna ask you, what, what is your, what's your target? My target on this 1.6, I think there's a lot of people in here flipping this thing. I don't know how he kind of fully distributed it out there, but I don't think, um, the Venn diagram of. [00:35:43] overlapping. Tim Ferris fans and holders of this are, uh, anywhere near aligned, uh, right now. Yeah. There, you know, I feel like it's something, you know, there were a ton of raffles for this, um, across different projects and I, I get that to some degree that there's no way to, to really gauge how genuinely interested people are in the project. [00:36:09] And I hope that we can find ways that people. Have interest. It's something that I think if is where an artist that had released things before, a creator that had released things before, it's something that maybe you can find people that are actually holders, take a, you know, take a snapshot, something like that, a little harder with brand new projects and I. [00:36:28] I think you're right in that it ends up being just a lot of people that won and are looking to, to flip it, you know? And, and it's hard not to if you, if you don't care that much and you paid 0.3 and it's up to 1.3 the same day, or even one, it's a nice little nice little flip if you, if you don't, you know, for not doing much. [00:36:47] Um, yeah, I mean it's a, it's a much bigger buy for, for. Like you that's looking, that actually is generally interested and now you're thinking, well, what is the right entry point? Because there are a lot of people still, still flipping. Yeah. Look, it's, it's also kind of very clear that like, you know, you try your best, but like there are people in here who clearly got like, 40, 50 of these things, and I can look at them right now. [00:37:12] The top 100 owners, the number two and number three people had 47 and 58 respectively. And they are just constantly selling. They're just just completely selling into this market. And so, like, I, again, well that's the thing, right? Like maybe I, I don't have the whole narrative, but like I do and can look at Davis, I dunno. [00:37:35] I, I, if it. Yeah, you can do some more digging. See if those wallets are connected to the, the, to Tim and the team. I hope not. Cause I, you know, that's something that definitely frustrates me when I see people that have access, um, early access or, or privileged access to, to a project and getting too much at selling. [00:37:54] Cause I, you know, I'm not saying that you can't sell. , but I think that there's a, you know, there should be more of a lockup period for those that do have access. So I hope that it is not that case. Not saying it is, you know, we have seen it at, you know, in, in, in projects before. Yeah. I'll send it to you. I mean, it's like this person's, you know, made bank on this, you know, and it's clear they got a ton of these in the door. [00:38:16] I'm seeing at least, uh, 20 sales. Um, and you figure they're probably about tripling if you know at least. Yeah. Looks he's tripling. Um, on that. Uh, so again, when you're Oh, this mic cre to the pros. You though Yeah. Think I might even know who this is. , he's gonna check. Make sure it's not a friend of it. He like, oh, nevermind. [00:38:41] I think I, yeah, I might I know him. I mean, look, if you, if you get it, I mean it's not the do it. Yeah, but I mean it's the name. So wait, this, I did see this person buying a lot early, but I also think. Yeah, I guess I'd have to look at, you know, did they actually buy them or they, uh, you know, were they, did they mint that many? [00:39:03] Um, you know, I, I would think that with a raffle we'd see a relatively, um, Why distribution to a large number of unique wallets? Hmm. I don't, doesn't, uh, doesn't always work out entirely like that. You know, as you said, there's this person, a lot of these, um, it's a, you know, at the same time, you know, there may, I don't know where this project is going. [00:39:24] Um, it does feel like there is, there's a lot of demand and, and still people looking to get in and I. You know, I would think that the, there is a, I dunno, I don't see this one as one that's gonna be back to, to anywhere close to the midprice, um, anytime soon. I think, you know, it won't problem, it just won't, it just won't. [00:39:44] I, um, I'm throwing a dart at 0.6. I think the other piece here is like, I mean, this was on my radar immediately. I was like so fast to get on like the white list. I've listened to all the stuff in the past. I think I, yeah, I think that's what you can really see. The fact that like, when you have those elements, Person, trusted brand long time in the industry. [00:40:03] Probably a bit of a tech band, something funny, creative, something that they obviously put care into. And then that type of media blitz like, just try to get on the white list, you will make money. It's like, that seems now, will, should you hold it indefinitely? No freaking clue. But it's very clear when you have an over, like this is the old play when you over subscribe, drop with a, you know, a person or brand that's like trustworthy, like number probably go up. [00:40:28] Yeah. And I think that's, what a lot of people saw a year. Um, you know, people went for this mint, whether they were ready to hold it for a long time or just flip it cuz it looked, I mean it's sort of a no-brainer when, when you see this sort of attention and, and we weren't the only ones that saw it. . Yeah. [00:40:46] Well I, you know, it's disappointing cause you saw this, you, you did see this even earlier. You got on the wait list so early and I guess that's where I feel like shouldn't there be, you know, I, I won three through a raffle much later. Didn't have to pay much attention and, you know, It almost goes back to the days of when there was, uh, you know, just, uh, hustling and different discords to, you know, get on the lists and, and do all the different things. [00:41:09] And, you know, you do see that there is something to that. Cause it, yeah, it takes time and like you put in the time and you get rewarded for that. Like there's no, you know, no way around that. And. Uh, I'm surprised he didn't have us, you know, pre-buy a, a book or something to help him get another , another New York Times bestseller. [00:41:27] And, you know, I, I mean like, it's funny if he just, if he just did it, it was just, it was just almost nothing. It just said Cock Punch in the book and still I New York Times bestseller. It would've been pretty funny, dude, straight up, like, could have been a graphic novel. Like he could have gone ahead and like done it and be like, go buy this book. [00:41:42] And you're like, all right, fine, I'll go buy this. Like, I'll go buy 10 of 'em, like Gary V did that. , like, I think v2, I mean there's a book drop. Oh, so this is already done? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Tim, Tim doesn't follow . It's like Damnit. You did it first. , I love it comes back to how many like trees. Can I like incinerate to make some books? [00:42:03] Yeah. Yeah. Now that the blockchain is, uh, yeah, , I don't, I'm against books cuz it uh, hurts the environment. [00:42:11] Oh man. All right. Uh, we had one other narrative here, like, I don't know, we'll come talk about it later, but it just feels like one long band-aid ripping event after another with, you know, various platforms and fallout coming. We were speculating before we turn on the mic, like, Whether or not Heather is on the track. [00:42:29] Did we get anything right about this year? Did we get anything right about this year? ? No, I don't think so. I was so bullish. I did real predictions, but you know, I think we should, uh, maybe be more explicit about some predictions just so we can really see how bad we are, are. Did fair. We did talk about some of the themes, and I think we should try to go back to that at some point in one of our upcoming episodes. [00:42:53] All right, that's a good idea. How wrong were we about the themes of this year? , who predicted the multi-billion. Frauds and blowups. Um, oh yeah, we, I mean, we have to do a classic prediction episode. I feel like that's just, everyone loves that, have two idiots guess of what's gonna happen, like Sure. [00:43:14] Yeah. Did you, I mean, have you picked that? We were going to have just massive blow up after massive blow. Why didn't you let us know, and why are you still here listening to this? Because you should have been out of this already. So, , I, I just, I'm not gonna believe you. If you told me that you knew that was gonna happen, show me the receipts. [00:43:36] should be on the chain. Uh, but yeah, I, I really kind of hope that like 2023 is less bandaid ripping, like just if tethers gonna collapse, just do it already. Like let's just go down, go down. Oh, it's not, that's not the way you, it's not the way that's all. Bandaid are ripped off . Apparently not. I mean, it's supposed to be like that, right? [00:43:59] We are just slowly removing this, you know, as, as is constantly, uh, said in the, the x copy discord with anyone cuz it's just, it's max pain, you know? It's, it's, it's alluding to his max pain and friends that just cannot get back to. To, uh, min mint, you know, and it's, uh, just, well, that's the only, I would say, is this a fair, is this an accurate statement? [00:44:24] Is the only X copy that is below its min price? I, yes. Also, coincidentally, the only X copy that I have ever bought at Min Price. Oh man, Jess, I'm just saying coincidence, maybe. [00:44:39] Yeah, I like my, I I'm very proud to have an next copy. I'm pleased with that thing. Uh, it's, it's, you know, uh, I love the project. I think there's probably still board to come to it. And I still love the references of, man, you know, what is the max pain? That is what we will get. . Oh God. Yeah. Um, all right, well, uh, we'll go out. [00:45:01] I'll have to go hunt. I feel like we did, uh, Our projections about what was gonna happen this year. So we'll go. We talked about some themes and you know, I know, know, gaming was gonna, you like music. I was all about gaming and at that period of time I had like some, like we doing really well with some of the gaming stuff and then, you know, everything imploded. [00:45:21] Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm . We were over the metaverse though, so. We were right. , we were over the Metaverse we're like, this can't go on. Oh yeah. You know's idea of what that was. And man, remember those, those virtual land prices getting up to 20, come on, . I mean, you do more than I do because I think you held a lot more of 'em than I did along the way. [00:45:46] I, no, I mean, I had, I didn't have much, I didn't do blow on these at all. I think. I think you had a sandbox spot at one point, right? And I had That's pretty good. You had the NFT Worlds nfs that I, yeah, I, I, you know, I think I made like 0.3 on that. Sold that at 0.7 when I those got up over 10. I know . Yeah. [00:46:11] Yeah. You know. All right, well, uh, see you out there. Leave a rating reviewed, drop into Discord. Maybe we'll, uh, do some horse trading. Literally. Yeah. Swap your worthless tokens. Help someone else out. . All right, see you out there.

In the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., we wanted to re-up this episode that we really love from earlier in the year. We are thankful for you, our listeners. And to all who celebrate, we wish you a joyful day. Enjoy! Earlier this year, pop music duo The Chainsmokers released 5,000 nonfungible tokens for free. These NFTs gave fans a 1% cut of the streaming royalties from their latest album, as well as priority access to concert tickets and free merchandise. The Chainsmokers aren't the first musicians to experiment with crypto, NFTs or blockchain, and they're unlikely to be the last.  Royal, a startup that's looking to give fans more access and more investment opportunities related to the bands they love, partnered with The Chainsmokers to give their fans a stake in their success.

At present, it's estimated that over a third of the world's population are Gamers. With many traditional game developers starting to experiment with blockchain technology, and ever-increasing public sentiment towards the Play-to-Earn (P2E) genre of games, it might be hard to believe that P2E games only make up about 1% of the overall gaming market. This huge discrepancy in interest between AAA and blockchain-incorporated games is mainly due to many such blockchain games prioritizing the P2E aspect, instead of putting more resources into the quality of gameplay, unique ideas, and graphics.Artyfact, an upcoming open-world gaming metaverse built on the Binance Smart Chain and powered by Unreal Engine 5, aims to address this issue and be the first game that truly brings together the best of both worlds. Artyfact's team will do so by building a Web3 Gaming Metaverse with high-quality graphics and addictive gameplay, while incorporating revolutionary Play-and-Earn (PAE) model into the economics. This will make it an exciting and engaging gaming world that also has earning elements, rather than being a chore you have to perform to earn rewards in usual P2E games. Artyfact team recently published a demo of one of the play-and-earn games of its metaverse, which made a splash in the GameFi community. You may find a video demo below.Moving on, here are some of the features that make Artyfact stand out from some of its competitors:Unreal Engine 5 Artyfact is the first web3 gaming metaverse built using Unreal Engine 5 – the latest and most advanced 3D graphics engine on the market. This allows the game to provide users with a whole new level of detail and immersion in the virtual world, giving way to a realistic and enjoyable gaming experience. $ARTY Token $ARTY is the native in-game and governance token of the Artyfact ecosystem. It can be used to purchase Artyfact game items (NFTs), participate in the governance of the Artyfact Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), earn rewards from staking $ARTY, and unlock premium privileges. The integrated PAE solutions maintain a constant buying demand for the $ARTY token, which helps in stimulating the growth of its value. Besides that, every quarter, Artyfact team will use 20% of profits to buy back $ARTY and burn them, making $ARTY deflationary.Integrated P2E GamesArtyfact offers a wide variety of play-and-earn (PAE) multiplayer game modes suitable for every kind of player. In each game players receive rating points, which open up new gaming opportunities. In PAE games, players can earn $ARTY by eliminating other players. To participate in games, the player needs to top up his $ARTY balance. Every week, the top 100 players with the highest rating get the opportunity to withdraw the earned $ARTY.NFT worldEvery game item in Artyfact comes in the form of an NFT. This includes avatars , weapons, clothes, or estate. This allows complete governance over your in-game assets and freedom to transfer or trade them in the built-in NFT marketplace. These NFTs in PAE games can even be modified or customized to make them more valuable. EventsArtyfact will hold occasional virtual events in its metaverse. These virtual events open up opportunities that are not available in the real world. Artyfact will allow its citizens to organize their own paid or free events such as NFT exhib

In this episode of Understanding Crypto with James Burtt and Paul Abercrombie, they discuss NFT use cases to prevent counterfeiting and protect commercial supply chains. Both James and Paul agree that corporate NFTs are the business model of the future. James contends that the current system, with all of its inefficiencies, continues to benefit the corporate world. However, Paul maintains that blockchain technology can help with a number of time-consuming processes.   NFTs to the rescue!! Counterfeiting is a major product-based infringement which can be remedied by blockchain technology. There are many NFT use cases that can ensure that business supply chains are not compromised. Paul reminds listeners, "NFTs are not just about speculative profit, it's about solving a real-world problem using the functions of a smart contract." Presently, some companies are pioneering this real-world functionality by using NFTs to track and verify the authenticity of the parts before assembly. Paul adds, "You will find a world where your normal financial environment will contain not just your bank account but your crypto assets and your digital assets in one place." [Listen from 3:05] These NFTs, referred to as corporate NFTs in the business world, are intended to replace the continuous paper trail that historically accompanied corporate financial transactions. James says that he agrees with this move because "It's probably five or six different handover points and everyone is using a different system. When you think about it, they're actually relying on trust." However, there are frequent violations of trust in the high-stress fields of motor, aviation, and marine sports that make supply chain management very challenging. As a result, the use of counterfeit parts is widespread. They both argue that this can be changed. However, the majority of people generally view NFTs as investments, even though they have several real-world applications that could help the industry. [Listen from 8:45] If business owners are able to use NFTs in innovative ways, James believes that they can shift the language surrounding the technology. On the other hand, Paul presents an opposing view that explores the resistance to the technology because the current system continues to be profitable for the corporate world. Using the construction industry as an example, he explains that many time-consuming practices can be solved with blockchain technology, but the old system pervades. Both Paul and James agree that corporate NFTs  are the future. "With non-sexy use cases of NFTs, you're not going to make a million quid by buying one of them, but it actually solves problems." [Listen from 16:48]    Key Takeaways Corporate NFTs are the business model of the future.   Resources James Burtt on Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram | Clubhouse Paul Abercrombie on Website | Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram

gm,This week, I interviewed Ramon Govea, founder of the media brand Myth Division. Before getting into this project, note that I hold one of his Alpha Access tokens. Been a believer since day one back in August, and it's just getting more exciting.When researching teams, I look for their history and what they worked on before their web3 venture. If you peek at the Myth Division website, you'll quickly see where my conviction started. Ramon has been building IP and telling stories via comics, movies, animations, etc.Ramon is one of those folks that understand Holywood well enough to know how to disrupt and change it for the better. Myth Divison has multiple legs, from the comic book BASYC (Bored Ape Seeks Yacht Club), PFP project, Waifu Warriors, and Myth Division Access Tokens. These NFTs connect to the larger vision of his city, Orangurock, which will be the hub for unique web3 experiences of the future, adding opportunities for creators to thrive.Sit down, buckle up, and grab some coffee, because this one will blow your mind.Boonafide Socials:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BoonafidexpWebsite: https://www.boonafide.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/BoonaETHMyth Division:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/mythdivisionTwitter: https://twitter.com/RamonGoveaNon-Refungible Network:All content: https://nonrefungible.tech/ Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/Boonafidexp)

Ask at joedewitt@benzinga.com and we will answer!Unedited Transcript:My name is Joe Dewitt, and this is the crypto breakdown today. I'm going to discuss some differences between web two and the development of web three and what those might entail. So for this example, it's important to understand the difference between virtual worlds and a metaverse.So a virtual world would essentially be a virtual ecosystem or a virtual environment where people are able to go and communicate with one another. And are able to complete tasks Metta versus on the other hand, actually reward users for spending time on the platform, whether it be some sort of yield earning or earning a crypto itself. The metaverse is essentially where digital assets can be stored in. Ecosystems. So for this example is I explained some of the differences we're going to use roadblocks as the virtual world, because it is a very popular video game that is currently out right now. And for the metaverse example, we are going to use the sandbox as it is very popular and growing in popularity with kids nowadays.So the organizational structure of these games. Are completely different because roadblocks be in a web to company. It is centrally owned. So it is owned by a company and the decisions are based completely on adding shareholder value. While on the other hand, something like sandbox that is a metaphor is completely governance owned, which means it is owned by its users.Community vote on different decisions and updates. And there are things called dowse, D a O, which means decentralized anonymous organization. And those dollars are groups of people that actually are essentially active community voters. And they are the decision makers moving forward. So as far as the organizational structure the web to site.More centrally owned. It is owned by a company that makes the decisions. Now on the web three side, it is the community owning the projects and making the decisions moving forward. Now, as far as data storage goes, something like roadblocks that is centralized in web two, it is completely centralized the data.It is. And it is for their personal use and their personal gain. Only now web three, it storage for metaverse projects will be completely decentralized, which means all data on these networks will be open source. Anyone will be able to receive the data and look at it which makes a completely open source network.Now the platform of these games are actually no different. You were able to play most web two games on PCs, counsels, and different virtual reality devices, as well as your mobile phone. Now what three games are available on your PC and virtual reality environments, as well as mobile apps. So there is not much difference between the platforms that these two are offered on.I guess the main question here would be if you had the choice to play a game on your phone and you could either earn rewards for it or just absolutely do nothing and essentially wasted. On it. Which one would you choose? I think most people would prefer to earn some sort of crypto as they play their games.Now the digital asset ownership of these two different ecosystems is very interesting because the web to side was something like roadblocks that as a game that you're paying to play for you are essentially leasing your character from the environment. The company still owns it. And there's not really any added value to it, but you are just essentially using it for the time being to play your game.Or on the other hand, with something like sandbox that is web three, all the assets are actually owned by its users as non fungible tokens known as NFTs. These NFTs allow proof of ownership for you. In order to distinguish the difference between different NFTs, as well as give a really unique aspect to these games and ecosystems, as people get to feel more personal and to feel more personal and they get to hold their identity based on different NFTs that they see fit.Now, people are able to reinvent themselves, whether that be for the good or for the worse, but it allows people to do something that they've never been able to do. Now with these asset ownership. Another really important aspect of these assets is that the web to side is on a game to game basis. Meaning that you go to one game, you're playing a completely different champion and a different game.And the next game, these avatars aren't staying the same amongst all the games that you're playing. Not one of the goals for one of three is to have interoperative. Identity, which means having each avatar play and all the games. So you can pick the person that represents you the most in play them in all of the games you want to play.This just allows for a lot more expression and allows for people to really just  design the way that they want to look moving forward into the metaverse. Now the last part I want to look at about web two and web three, and I truly think is the most important part is the content revenues. So something like roadblocks.Built in the web two era, let's say for this example, when someone makes a purchase on the app, 30% of everything purchased, goes to the app store. 70% goes to the developers. Now there is no middle ground for anyone else. It goes to the developers because it is a centralized company and it goes to the app store because they have the leasing agreement to have their device on the app store and they have to pay a certain amount to apple or whoever it is, whether it be Samsung or Google.Now with web. Instead of putting those 70% profits in the hands of the developers, what developers do is they say, Hey, you know what, we're going to make this a peer to peer reward system. So now developers can earn revenue based on royalties, but they don't earn all of the profit. Now, instead of the 70%, let's say that developers earn 20.And now the other 50 goes to the peers and the actual validators of the community. Now this is a good way to keep your retention rate high as it rewards new players and rewards players for staying active in the community. If you have a game that is rewarding people for staying present and rewarding, wanting another for validating the.That seems a lot more beneficial than just everyone signing in their credit card and sending it straight to the centralized company. These are just a few important aspects of the differences between web two and web three.

This was a monumental year for NFTs. The most expensive NFT was sold for $69.3 million. The market cap (total money in NFTs) of NFTs went from $17 million in January to $3.25 billion in August (19,000% increase in 8 months). The trading volume went from $4.75 million to $6.5 billion in the last year (141,000% increase). And finally, this year, the number of people that own an NFT went from 1 million to 25 million. This is truly insane exponential hockey stick type growth, and things are just getting started. You may be thinking, “Alright yeah, that sounds pretty wild but WTF is an NFT and why should I care?” WTF is an NFT? No, NFTs are not Northern Fried Tacos and they are not Ninja Fighting Tattoos. NFT stands for non-fungible token. To understand what non-fungible means, let's first understand what fungible means. When something is fungible, that means it can be exchanged for something else of equal value. For example currencies like the USD or Bitcoin are fungible. You can exchange any $5 bill for any other $5 bill and you'll have the exact same thing. How Do NFTs Work? NFTs are possible thanks to the technology of the blockchain, which is the same technology that powers Bitcoin. The blockchain can be thought of as a public decentralized database, where anyone can see what is currently stored on the blockchain and see the full history of all transactions. Therefore, with NFTs, you can see a record of when the NFT was created, who currently owns it, and the history of all the transactions for that NFT. These NFTs uniquely represent pieces of media that can be anything digital, including art, videos, music, gifs, games, text, memes, and code. Use Cases For NFTs There are many different use cases for NFTs today but given that it is such a novel technology, new use cases are continuing to be created every day. Here are a few of the use cases that are covered in this episode. Digital Art / Collectibles Music Access Based NFTs Gaming Redeemables Identity Certifications / Credentials Land in the Metaverse Fractionalized Ownership of Assets In this episode, we also discuss how NFTs are giving unprecedented financial power to creatives, how NFTs will change internet culture, how to buy NFTs, and what to look for when investing in NFTs. NFTs are still early, and will evolve. Their utility will increase as digital experiences are built around them, including marketplaces, social networks, showcases (virtual museums, your own space in the Metaverse), games, virtual worlds, and more. Someday every internet community might have its own micro-economy, including NFTs and fungible tokens that users can use, own, and collect.

Well fellow ProcrastiN8r, the future of the MetaVerse is here. You heard good ole Zuck talk about. It's this idea of intertwining the virtual world with the physical one. He's talking about owning "virtual" property, which is already possible in games like Decentraland and Upland. This is done through the use of the blockchain to create NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. Think of NFTs as a unique item, like a shiny Charizard  Pokemon card or a signed copy of Stephen King's It or the original painting of the Mona Lisa. It's not very easily replaceable and hard to find. Now in the real world, holding these items under your physical possession kind of proves your ownership of them, but in the virtual world, we need to verify data in order to prove your ownership. Sound familiar? Remember we talked about crypto/Bitcoin and how it uses this Blockchain technology to verify the fact that you own that cryptocurrency? Well, the same technology is now being applied to Non-Fungible tokens, unique items like pieces of art and of course, in-game items. No longer is that sword or pony just something you get in the game, it's something you VERIFIABLY OWN. Bitcoin itself is "fungible". One Bitcoin is exactly the same as any other Bitcoin in existence. Just like One dollar bill is the same as any other dollar bill. But now we can create non-fungible items that have uniqueness. That's the key word. Non-fungible means uniqueness. And this idea of owning items in the digital space is beginning to make waves. Already, collection toy companies like Funko Pop are offering NFTs in addition to the purchase of a real physical toy. These NFTs can then be traded on a digital market. Cities across the world are planning to implement NFTs in their future building plans. And this only the beginning. We're going to see the digital and physical world blur together more and more. With gaming already encouraging players to collect loot and unlock characters with no other incentive than bragging rights, having NFTs in game is going to shift the entire industry.  No longer are you wasting hours into grinding levels or collecting resources in a game like Runescape. No longer are you fighting a boss over and over in hopes to get that one rare drop just so you can brag to your buddies or win some PVP. NFTs turns your game time into valuable time. That rare amulet you found in the chest? Yeah, that's yours now, not your game character's amulet. YOURS. You own it! Now fair warning, there is typically an upfront cost to get started with NFT games, and that may be a bit of a turn off for some of you. But honestly with new games running over $60 now and over a hundred for the "deluxe" editions, plus the system or PC you gotta buy to even play the game in the first place, even if you're not gaming with NFTs, there's still a price to pay up front. Thing is with traditional gaming, you don't earn anything back, but with NFT, you can actually profit off your game time. Like, you're going to be playing games just for fun or achievement sake, you might as well get paid for your time. I'm serious this is one of the biggest opportunities to make a living being lazy.  You can literally lay on the couch and play video games all day and get paid to do so. No need to stream or build a following. No need to get sponsors or dabble around with affiliate marketing. No creating content on blog, videos, or podcasts. Literally just playin the game. Now I'm not a financial advisor. I don't have any sort of experience or authority to help you make decisions with your money. That's on you. Do your own research. I'm just a lazy dude with an opinion. Anyway, in the oncoming weeks, I'll be sharing with you some NFT games I'm finding to be rather profitable and today we're going to start with one called BombCrypto.
