Where are NFTs Stored? + The Basics of Blockchain and Crypto w/ Simon Grunfeld
In this episode, Shamus Madan engages with Simon Grunfeld, a fintech and blockchain expert. They delve into global cryptocurrency transactions, decentralized applications, and DeFi. They also discuss blockchain's energy consumption, the storage of digital assets, and Bitcoin's scarcity. The conversation extends to security token offerings, the future of Dogecoin, and Elon Musk's impact on the crypto market.
In this episode, I had Simon Grunfeld (VP of Crypto at SIMBA Chain) on to discuss some basics revolving around blockchain, crypto, what gas fees are, and where the NFTs you buy are stored (hint: not on the blockchain).
