In this episode, I provide an overview of general Terms and Conditions of NFT minting and marketing platforms that you should expect, specifically related to intellectual property and royalties. Bottom line: Read the fine print! One of the benefits and features of minting is creating a record of creation and ownership that cannot be changed—immutable—so if you get it wrong in the beginning … well, it’s not like you can call customer service to roll it back. Contrary to some critics, this space is not a bubble. In fact, NFT coding standards like ERC-721 have been around since 2017 (and the idea of smart contracts dates back to 1997)! But the hype cycle and FOMO is real. Take your time, get informed. Take off your creative cap and put on your business hat during this episode to get clear, get focused and get in the game.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I do a third topic-specific episode because my inbox and DMs are overflowing and speaker requests are at an all-time high. And I’ve received so many questions about intellectual property and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and I’ve heard so much misinformation on social media, especially on Clubhouse, that I had to take a moment to share some IP basics to help creatives and collectors make sense of it all. And to help you steer clear of the noise. For example, a telltale sign that you’re about to get bad legal advice? It usually begins with “I’m not a (an IP) lawyer but …”. In this ep, I explain the different types of IP, take a closer look at copyright and fair use, and what rights creatives transfer and what buyers acquire in an NFT sale? Bottom line: let the NFT creator or investor be wise and BEWARE! Follow, like, comment and share. And let’s connect @IPProfEvans & #EvansontheBlock.

In this episode, I speak with Gafacci, a renowned Ghanaian artist and visionary, whose productions naturally include an adventurous afro twist with strong influences of electronic music. It's in his DNA. His interest in music was nurtured by his father, a former band member of ‘Juju’ music legend ‘Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey’. He has earned great recognition among several excellent artists who quickly involved Gafacci in production sessions in and outside Africa. He is also the brain behind the Jowaa project, where he produced several popular tracks including #1 downloaded bass track on Juno in 2017 and toured around the world.

He is now experimenting with non-fungible tokens as an NFT crypto artist releasing the first Ghanaian space exploration series starring "Nii" the red cockerel in collaboration with Ghana’s renowned satirical artist, Bright Ackwerh. In our conversation, Gafacci shares his journey through the world of cryptocurrencies to crypto art, his creation process and selection of platforms as well as some of the pitfalls. And he and his manager, Yussef, share how Gafacci uses music and technology to advance his philanthropic goals throughout the Diaspora.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I do another Ping the Prof session on the NFT craze from a POV not often covered: the legal issues crypto creatives need to be aware of and consider when engaging in this exciting opportunity to leverage blockchain, smart contracts and non-fungible tokens to create unique, rare and scarce digital assets, connect directly with your fan base, participate in primary and downstream secondary markets seamlessly and win in Web 3.0. This is particularly important for black and brown creatives, often exploited and marginalized by the entertainment, art and sports worlds. In this series of eps devoted to the topic of NFT creativity, I will have compelling conversations with crypto creatives, platform owners and community leaders. 

And I'll also cover:

• copyright and other forms of intellectual property
• fair use of protected works, collage and "transformative use"
• right of publicity
• persistent proof of ownership
• immutable chain of transfer
• digital rights and content management
• digital first sale to counter license culture
• self-executing payments
• access controls
• self-executing enforcement
• increased value over time created by digital scarcity

Let me know what you'd like to learn more about and who you'd like to hear more from. And invite me to a Clubhouse stage and let's talk live and direct! @IPProfEvans @AtTechIntersect

In this episode of Tech Intersect, I introduce a new segment, Ping the Prof where I answer your questions, talk hot topics and current events and give you some action items to listen, learn and leverage your way into shining success in the future of money, work and entrepreneurship. This episode introduces "DCA meets BTD" (how dollar-cost averaging + a regular commitment to buying when price dips occur) can have a profound impact on those who HODL (aka hold) (buy and hold cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin). I also talk about Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's recent comments about a US digital dollar and Tether/Bitfinex's 18.5M settlement with NYAG Leticia James.

I also give a shoutout to Black Bitcoin Billionaires creators Isaiah "Bitcoin Zay" Jackson and Lamar Wilson and MLB player-turned-artist Micah Johnson's epic NFT crypto art auction for his "Aku" creations.

In this episode of Tech Intersect, spotlight episode 27 of the show, my conversation with Cleve Mesidor in June 2020 in honor of Juneteenth.  Cleve Mesidor isaAuthor of “My Quest for Justice in Politics & Crypto", Head of Nat’l Policy Network of Women of Color in Blockchain, Founder of LOGOS Blockchain, a Former Obama Appointee and a CNN Alum.

In this episode, we have an authentic and empowering conversation about race, crypto, and financial inclusion. We explore the importance of education in black and brown communities by dramatically reducing barriers to entry and participation. And we also explore the importance of the lessons of freedom from Juneteenth as context for the broader conversation of economic empowerment. I know you’ll learn a lot. And I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. Perfect for Black History Month and anytime you want to learn (or be reminded) why economic empowerment and financial inclusion are essential and how they can be found in the future of money.

We talk about economic empowerment, inclusion, inflation of the US dollar, dollar cost averaging, Dante’s Bitcoin Maximalist views on Ethereum and decentralized finance, the democratizing principles of crypto and why the black community MUST learn about and participate in the future of money in order to offset the systemic bias and discriminatory practices that have plagued traditional finance and technology.
