In this episode, we cover all things on open edition burns: whether this meta is good for the space long term, the power of group psychology to make the next blue chip, and whether Forest will see a profit on his Checks purchase.

In this episode, we cover all things social audio: how to get started, the challenges to overcome, and when to spend time in the big rooms versus building your own audience.

In this episode, we discuss web3 gaming: what it looks like now and what it might look like soon. We also consider cross-chain integration and how nicely some blockchains may (or may not) play with others.

Welcome to the 8th episode of Building Blocks, formerly known as Squad Space! As we reflected on the past year, it became clear to us that our interests had outgrown our original name. So, we changed it to better emphasize what drives us as hosts: the pursuit of knowledge, of sharing lessons with one another as well as anyone who will join us by listening in.

In this episode, we're joined by Dave Bachinsky, a professional skateboarder with over a decade of experience. Dave is known for his technical skate style and has been featured in numerous competitions around the world. He also co-founded the Prince of Puerto Rico, an annual skating competition in Puerto Rico, with Manny Santiago.

Listen as we bring together folks focused on different blockchains to discuss the current state of the market: Macki ponders a y00ts purchase, we get a sense of individual market sentiment, and we talk about the new artwork for APA on Avax that’s now called “OOPA” and looks suspiciously like y00ts on Solana. Guests include @BiasGoose, @OGFoami, @Crypto_Shelly_, @popsval, @0xPrimata, and @zoomeranon69.

Tune into our interview with Karen Jerzyk, a web3 photographer who captures intimately surreal moments by bringing her imagination into reality. We discuss the many mediums she operates in, how she turns low-budget materials into magical imagery, and her NFT project Average Creatures. Bonus: We reminisce about the unforgettable Game Boy Camera.

Tune into our interview with Chris aka PRguitarman, the creator of Nyan Cat! We discuss how Chris has blossomed in web3, the secret sauce of a viral meme, and we even hear directly from some fans about what Nyan Cat means to them. Bonus: Chris and macki sing along to Tom Shaw’s viral hit, “Taste the Biscuit.”

Listen to our interview with Mendez from Invisible Friends and Fount Gallery. We discuss the mental health of full-time web3 folks, the dangers of Discord hacks, and some of Mendez’s favorite NFT moments as a moderator and community leader. Bonus: We talk way too long about coffee.
