Waiting To Be Signed

It's finally time... Jeres is on the show in their first ever podcast appearance! We are so excited to share this interview with our longtime (in crypto terms) friend and WTBS token collaborator. In this interview we go over the history of Jeres' work on fx(hash), near-breakthrough moments, what it means when a project begins with a capital letter, finding emotion in art, the virtues of publishing under multiple accounts, and more.

Follow Jeres on Twitter @HeyJeres and check out all their great work on fx(hash)

Another discussion-heavy episode this week. It's impossible to avoid the conversation around creator royalties and what platforms like Blur are doing to the Ethereum ecosystem. While art seems to be somewhat insulated (especially here on Tezos) we need to prepare ourselves for the inevitability of "royalty optional" trading in the future. 

We also have our weekly market update, new drops from fx(hash) and verse.works, and shout outs!

Jamie Gourlay is co-founder of verse.works, a curated digital art collecting platform that has featured many artists we know and love from fx(hash). In our longest interview yet, Will and Trinity dive into Jamie's background in the traditional art world, the challenges of NFTs as a brand, and a long discussion on the importance of markets and how to legitimize the space to make it more appealing to new collectors. This episode is especially timely considering the renewed debate about creator royalties and the non-enforcement policy just announced by OpenSea.
