Mark is joined this week by Luke Lloyd and they dive into why Facebook is deciding to change their name and what it means for the future of the company. Mark Zuckerberg announced that the name change is going to revolve around the “Metaverse”. Mark & Luke discuss where Facebook has been, where they are going, and even some potential names that Facebook will choose.

Facebook was founded upon sketchy values and ideals. Between the Winklevoss Twins suing Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook originating as a “Hot or Not?” college platform ranking the looks of people, the history of Facebook proves to be volatile. Is this name change a PR stunt to distract from the current issues Facebook is facing with data, privacy, and censorship? How does cryptocurrency fit into all of these big tech firms and the future of blockchain technology? Mark & Luke discuss all of this on this on this week’s episode of The Capitalist Investor.

Derek is joined this week by Tony Zabigala and they once again dive into the latest Crypto news!  Just as Bitcoin cracks the $60,000 level, notable Crypto bear and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon once again comes out to slam Bitcoin.  Dimon has been a vocal non-believer of all crypto for many years, but is it time to start listening?  The guys discuss, next!

Yet people made hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars on it, right?  There is no question that that is valuable.  There's no question that it can be a big part of the future. I just think we have a long ways to go before it's mainstream.  The biggest thing that I see is regulation is a concern.  The U.S.  government doesn't know how to do this.   They want to start monitoring bank accounts that have $600 plus deposits.  Are we willing to let the IRS have the ability to do this?

In this week's episode, Derek and Tony dive into the crazy world of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens.  In this two-part episode, the guys are joined by two special guests,  NFT collectors Eric Spray and Ben Phillips.  Eric is BAYC #8261 and commissioner of the BAFL, while Ben is an NFT investor and Head of Partnerships at deadheads.io.  The guys talk basics of NFTs but then jump right into discussing the pros and cons of investing in the space right now.  Are NFTs really the future?

In this week's episode, Derek and Tony dive into the crazy world of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens.  In this two-part episode, the guys are joined by two special guests,  NFT collectors Eric Spray and Ben Phillips.  Eric is BAYC #8261 and commissioner of the BAFL, while Ben is an NFT investor and Head of Partnerships at deadheads.io.  The guys talk basics of NFTs but then jump right into discussing the pros and cons of investing in the space right now.  Are NFTs really the future? Or is it a fad that will crash and burn?  With more and more celebrities getting involved, and a lot of 101 Bored Apes selling for $24 million dollars, we decode how to try to make money in the wild west of NFTs.

[5:10] Tony felt the best way to learn was to do it himself.  So with the help of Eric he started looking into how to buy an NFT.   Tony mentioned it was very similar to buying something on an eBay auction.

[7:51] Derek's path to buying NFTs was a little different.  He started with purchasing NBA Top Shot moments because it was similar to purchasing baseball cards as a kid.  The familiar idea of buying a pack and hoping to pull a rare card.

[10:00] So basically from following people on Twitter and watching YouTube videos about NBA Top Shot Eric was exposed to a whole nother world of NFTs out there.  People changing their profile pictures to these monkeys.  This was just the beginning of The Apes as they are commonly referred to. 

[13:40] A big part of NFTs is the social aspect of owning them, sharing what you own, and being a part of the "movement".   It isn't like you buy this and just move on... you become a part of it. 

[20:00] There is now a company that is making digital displays for your NFT.  You can have it in your home or office to share with your friends.  It is similar to owning a cool piece of artwork.
