Today's GM Web3 discusses the current state of traditional markets, which are strong with equities seeing a rally. However, the market is predicting higher interest rates with the Fed going for another 3-4 increases. Meanwhile, the crypto market is shaky with decoupling.

In NFT news, the OWLs minted out Friday and have been a big move. The meta was ASCii, and Yuga Ordinals TwelveFold bidding has started. However, the 7-day chart is weak.

The podcast also reminds listeners to enjoy themselves in this web3 world, despite the challenges in top collection volumes. They suggest looking to some of the communities that are having fun, such as Memes, Checks, Rektguys, Rug Radio.

There is also discussion on the TwelveFold generative art initiative from Yuga Labs, which is auctioning live today. The podcast predicts that the auction close prices could be around 0.5 BTC.

Finally, the podcast ends with a discussion on the potential power of Ethereum in the future. OSF suggests that ETH could be like the internet and could see a 10x trade with some patience and conviction.

In this episode we begin with a discussion on macro views, where it's noted that ETH and Bitcoin have both decreased by around 5%, while alts have dropped 5-10%, indicating a further breakdown in correlation to macro.

Next, the episode covers Silvergate, a bank that leaned into Crypto and backed major exchanges like Binance and other big institutions. The bank reportedly lost $8bn through the FTX crisis, and the episode speculates that it will be investigated for money laundering.

The Mt. Gox settlement phase and the expected impact of the $2bn payout. Most NFTs are down about 2-3%, correlating positively to the price of Crypto, and Mutants and Azukis are noted as the top of volumes due to massive farming.

A special guest, Sam Ewen, head of Coindesk, joined to talk about the upcoming Consensus 2023 conference happening live in Austin, Texas. The conference is a major event shaping the direction of crypto and web3, and Coindesk's Microcosms NFT drop is happening live now.

Sam values the live event and the feelings surrounding in-person experiences and discusses the rewards involved in the Microcosms drop. The Microcosms focus on generative art, and there are collaborations with many major players to bring value. The episode concludes with a reminder to vote for prop house within the Rug DAO, emphasizing the need for participation in pushing towards decentralization.

In this episode of The GM Web3, the hosts Farokh and Mando cover a touch of macro and NFT updates. The macro picture is not looking great, with a push out in interest rates and a sell-off in equities and bonds. However, crypto is acting on its own will and speculation suggests it could outperform at this point. Big mints are happening, including MomoguroNFT, TheRVCollective, and an announcement from proof_xyz tomorrow. Illuviumio announced their card game is coming and $PRIME token from ParallelTCG launched yesterday. Overlord_xyz, a new gaming ecosystem with Creepz, is migrating their contract.

Raoul Pal with The Real Vision Collective talks about launching a platform that combines different communities to be more interconnected and benefit from each other. Leftover assets will be burned on Sunday, and collectors who collect all seasons, genesis and all rarities will be granted an elite "True Visionary" status. They also have collaborations with major communities and artists like Damien hhirst. Access to all token gated Real Vision content is granted through The Real Vision Collective Pass. Real Vision was created in 2014, aiming to democratize access to financial knowledge after living through the financial crisis. The goal is to educate and lift each other up, with a new platform launching in 2-3 months enabling people to live their financial lives. The episode ends with some Raoul rumors, including an upcoming appearance on @rektradio_ and a guest appearance by @farokh on Real Vision.

GM Web3 on March 1, we dove into macro, NFTs and more. The end of the month tends to mean the option market is loaded, and BTC is shy of 24k while ETH is at $1605, experiencing a dip. There is talk of Tik Tok getting banned in the US, which could mean a new US owner instead of the elimination of the platform. Marginal moves were seen across the top collections, with Apes settling at 70 eth, Pixlvault releasing new game mechanics, Creature world's Danny Cole doing an open edition, and MomoguroNFT mint incoming. Odyssey from Starbucks is set to go live on March 8th. @MetaMask announced the Unity asset store SDK, a huge move for mobile gaming. ParallelTCG released the long-anticipated Alpha version of the trading card game, and they also saw the $PRIME token released and start trading at a decent price. The question of whether market makers are bad for NFTs was discussed.

MoonieMooIO also joined the podcast to talk about the Herd, and how founder Keith is behind Bob the builder, Paw Patrol, and other successful children's television shows/IP. Moonie is an influencer, owns a luxury brand, has her own milk and is making major moooooves.

In the latest episode of Gm Web3 on Feb. 28, the hosts covered crypto and the NFT world. The episode began with a macro and NFT news update by OSF, who advised caution as crypto still has room for some downside compared to macro. Most coins were up at the start of the year, and despite the retracing, crypto is outperforming.

The NFT market is recovering from last week. We also touched on the gaming community, including Adam Weitsman's purchase of YugaLabs' Dookey Dash key for 1k eth from Mongraal. Yugalabs' Twelve Fold is their latest venture, an ordinal inscribed on Bitcoin with generative art consisting of 300 pieces.

Later in the episode, the Fair xyzzy team then discussed their mission to enable individuals to create their meta with all their available no-code tools and the creator-first mindset approach.

Finally, the hosts announced that listeners could collect stubs daily for listening to the show, and during the weekend, there would be a window to burn the stubs for a piece of art from the artist being highlighted that week. Additionally, Fair is hosting a massive drop featuring top women artists in the space to celebrate International Women's Day 2023 in March.

On this fine Thursday, GM Web3 reports live from Art Blocks X Ledger in Paris, featuring special guests and discussions on macro topics and NFTs. The recent FOMC minutes were brought up and how the community is in unison about slowly increasing rates. The crypto market has been shaky but has returned to similar levels, with $BLUR falling below $1. NFT collections are down around 2-3%, with speculations about $2 million being spent a day in Blur farming cycles.

The Bored Ape Sewer Pass "Toad Mode" went live and seems to be more difficult than the first version of the donkey dash.

Ledger has announced a browser extension that allows safe connections to Dapps and identifies scams, with plans to make it available on Safari and Chrome. John Karp, the founder/owner of NFT Factory Paris, discusses how he entered the NFT space, created a daily show, and developed a physical space to attract the masses. Ariel Wengroff highlights how Ledger has legitimized Paris as the hub for NFTs, embedding culture and art into a prime location.

This episode was really just a great vibe!

The first topic covered is the ongoing dispute between Blur and Opensea. The big subject today was two of the top BAYC holders, Mando and OSF, sold off their bored apes for over 6k ETH worth of assets, which didn't affect the floor's value due to the bidding war.

Meanwhile, the crypto market has seen a move down, in line with the macro market. Alt coins have seen a 10% drop, while the Chinese crypto market is booming. In other news, blur farming has made liquidity available for projects via bids. The traders still believe that the bored apes have room to run up to 100 Eth, even if ETH increases significantly.

Blur_io announced that loyalty will be rewarded for participants, and PacmanBlur doxxed yesterday and wrote a thread that dives into his past.

Opensea has ended its limited-time 0% market fees and has now moved to 0.5% fees. Finally, the continuation of the Bored Ape Sewer pass game with the Toad Mode activation is happening today.
