We started the show today discussing the flat market, then moved into free mints and how they are influencing the current market. Will they be the standard or a trend of the past?

We then moved to NFT NYC and talked about different events that are happening with the people that are hosting them and curating them.

The NFT top 10 has been dominated by goblins and less than favorable pop up derivatives. This along with quality projects taking a dive has led to a lack of fun for some. We go into this and discuss what fun is being had in the space and how people are having it.

The show was raided by a witty pack of nasty goblins from the Goblintown NFT collection!!! Originally a free mint, the goblins have created a language, lore and culture surrounding the project. Along with success the goblins have brought humor, delight and even a bit of anger and disgust to the space. Listen in for a sample!

We also talk about "early bayc vibes" a reference to when the Bored Ape Yacht club was first created and how the collection took over. Ape Holders recollect times in clubhouse making ape noises but don't get far before the goblins on stage chime in forcing a kind of comparision.
