Episode 79: Show Notes.

Crypto art is one of the most unique art spaces around, and joining us today on NorCal and Shill is the incredible digital artist, Icki. Tuning in, you’ll hear all about Icki’s security diligence, how he got into NFTs and what his initial intentions were, why he loves blockchains, and how Web3 has given him and other commercial artists so much freedom. As usual, our guest tells us his favorite foods, where he would want to live if he could live anywhere, and even has a very unconventional answer to which animal he would be if he could choose. We also discuss a true definition of empathy, why you should avoid taking advice, and why you need to embrace the Web3 culture and community before delving into how Guy’s expectations for investing changed. To hear all about the world of NFTs and crypto art from a phenomenal artist, tune in now!
