In this episode, Jean talks to Hanif Perry about his experience as a collector of generative art NFTs and member of various communities that formed around this movement. This is a great primer for those who are interested in NFTs and want to know what to look for and where when buying their first pieces.

In this episode, I sit down with Danny Greene, the general manager of the MeebitsDAO. We have a wide-ranging conversation about the significance of NFTs, the analogies that can be used to onboard new users into the NFT space, and of course, we also focused on Meebits in particular. I really like the MeebitsDAO initiative in favor of an open metaverse, so if you’d like to learn more about the metaverse and how you can start participating in this space you should definitely give this one a listen.

The Meebits are 20,000 unique 3D voxel characters, created by a custom generative algorithm, then registered on the Ethereum blockchain. The original 9000 Meebits were available for purchase through a Dutch-style auction starting from 2.5 ETH. The remaining NFTs were distributed to holders of CryptoPunks as well as Autoglyphs.

A simple gas fee transaction could be used to redeem a Meebit with a punk or glyph. Because of its rarity as well as scarcity, the collection had topped the charts as well as sustained constant sales. With $127 million in sales volume, this became the 7th all-time top collection in just four months. At least ten Meebits have indeed been sold for over a million dollars.

In this episode, we speak to Robin Copernicus (real name Robin Kabir) from Metaverse Land Club. It was a real pleasure speaking with Robin, his passion for futuristic technologies and the ways that they can help human betterment really comes through in our conversation.

Join us as we explore the many facets of the metaverse and how it will impact humanity in this wide-ranging episode.

In this episode, we have Igors Puntuss, CEO of Bulkestate, as our guest. Together with Igors, we discuss Bulkestate’s journey over the past five years, and the main things that investors should expect going forward. Bulkestate is one of my favorite platforms. Contrary to other players in the market, they have an understated approach and focus on delivery rather than hype.

Here are some of the main numbers from Bulkestate’s performance over the past years.

Biggest project: Marijas Street 1 750 000 EUR with 740 investors and 17% return. That ended up being 2% more than planned.

With regard to group buying, here are the main stats:

We are glad to welcome Hearsay to our show. It’s a really special episode covering a quiet unspoken topic of law and NFTs.

We started discussing uncertainties of crypto taxation and what is crypto from a legal standpoint. A big part of the discussion ahead was about the traditional art industry and legal backbone, as well as the concepts of authenticity, derivatives, and value compared to the digital NFT world. The other important topic we touched upon were DAOs from the legal perspective and their prospects in governance.

In this episode, we welcome back Jalil from PunkScape for another round of NFT knowledge drops.

Following our more introductory first episode with Jalil, in this episode, we continue evolving some of the topics we touched upon previously as well as introduce some other very important concepts and guidelines that all NFT investors or creators should know about.

Some of the topics discussed:

In this episode, we welcome the founder of Kumo’s World, Kumo, who shares with us her journey and motivations for creating this collection of extremely cute characters, as well as the new features that are on the roadmap for the next few months.

Kumo’s World is a fantastical place where you control the story. Go on adventures with the other explorers and discover the hidden gems the world of Kumo!

Here, you can let your inner child free and just be yourself without judgment.

We hold expeditions in our discord that are like text version of RPG, where the story follows the explorers actions. They have set challenges to overcome and with each challenge, they grow stronger as a team.

There will be factions where grouped resident classes will compete against each other in World leagues, as well as pets with special powers that can open up different realms for more adventures in unknown parts of world. A new currency kxwCoins will be in circulation post drop. These coins are only available through taking part in the leagues, explorations and community events. Shops will open in the future where the coins can be exchanged for items/pets.

Future roadmap includes children story books, merch, collabs with other similar projects, live events and many others to come!

In this episode, we welcome Jalil Wahdatehagh, the founder and artist behind the PunkScape NFT project to guide us through the remarkable world of non-fungible tokens.

How do we visualize value, what are and why digital identities are important, how NFTs can be used not only for visual art? These are just minor parts of the topics we discussed with Jalil. Of course, we covered the basics (well, they are not so basic after all):

Apart from that, we talked about PunkScape, the NFT project Jalil founded and now runs with his team, as well as other projects like the CryptoPunks.

If you are new to NFTs, jump over to the ‘How to Invest in NFTs’ article on my personal blog to learn more about the topic.
