We sat down with Harold and Charolotte Eytan, the brother-sister team behind Particle Collection ,to find out.

The team recently acquired a Banksy and opened up ownership to their community through fractionalization. Charlotte, who serves as head of the Particle Foundation, has worked for some of the world’s leading galleri...

She's the co-founder and CEO of Co:Create, a new protocol that makes it possible for NFT projects to scale and generate new revenue streams. Armed with a $25M seed round led by a16z crypto, Co:Create is poised to lead the next evolution of the NFT ecosystem.

Dirt is a daily newsletter about entertainment online that has earned a cult following. Recent dispatches include reflections on HBO's Gen Z workplace drama Industry, a look at thirsty brand Twitter accounts, and a deep dive on the history of shells in visual culture. New York Magazine put it best: Reading Dirt is "like getting a note about something interesting from a smart friend." A casual reader wouldn't know it, but the newsletter's operation is actually funded in part through the ...

And are curators actually just gatekeepers? It's a question we see raised often on crypto and NFT Twitter. In a space like social media where nuance is lost, tastemakers and curators have sometimes become the unfair targets of those looking to shake up the business of selling art, and by extension, the business of selling NFTs. We discussed this question and more with Jamie Gourlay, the co-founder of Verse, a new fine art NFT platform that enables collectors to discover and acquire NFTs...

In this episode, we break down the recent implosions of 3 crypto-adjacent companies: 3 Arrows Capital, Celsius, and BlockFi...and decide which one would make for the best Netflix mini-series. Casting choices include: Vin Diesel, the Sprouse twins, and potentially Colin Firth reprising his acclaimed role as a lawyer. Disclaimer: We are aware there are really people and real money at the center of these situations, and our intention is not to cause offense or harm. Our only goal is to educ...

We had the chance to chat with Ryan Carson, who is, yes, the founder of a brand-new $40 million web3 VC fund. So of course we asked him: Why invest in crypto right now? As the former COO of Proof XYZ , he had a lot of thoughts on this topic. We also discuss why he won't bet on anon founders, what it's like having the Twitter storm turned on you, and why he's still all-in on Moonbirds, the NFT project he helped launch that has seen sales top $200 million. Vocab words: Dutch auction, ...

The crypto market crash/UST disaster, explained. In under 30 minutes. You're welcome. We invited future pilot, computer programmer, lizard farmer, and crypto expert Coltrane Nadler to break down WTF happened with Terra/UST/Luna — aka, the stablecoin that collapsed and brought the rest of the crypto market down with it. He explains how stablecoins work, why they’re appealing to people as savings accounts, and what might be next for Terra Labs’ “godlike” founder, Do Kwon (who, for the reco...
