Zima Red

My guest today is Swiss Crypto Cat.

Swiss is the creator of La Citadel VR which is a community of crypto enthusiasts that meet in a virtual environment that Swiss designed.

Swiss first learned about NFTs in the very early days of their creation. Discovering Rare Pepes on the counterparty blockchain which were around all the way back in late 2016.

What I loved about our conversation is that Swiss built La Citadel VR from the ground up and is motivated to spread the good word about bitcoin.

His objective is to gather like minded people who can bond over their shared love of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Now that is a goal I can get behind.

My guest today is Miles from Decentral Games.

Miles is a boss, in a literal sense and figuratively as his metaverse name is “Baus”. If you haven't listened to our first episode go back and check it out.

We discussed how he was busy building the world's first Community-owned metaverse casino.

A few short months later. he has not only built working casinos inside the virtual world of Decentralized but is also launching a governance token in a true play to earn model.

Who would have thought that there would be a casino that pays you to play.

We dive into everything - The casinos, the social aspect of gameplay, token mechanics and even how it is raising money as a founder in the NFT ecosystem.

I love speaking with builders like Miles because they are the ones who can take an idea, and with a lot of action and hard work, can turn them into something real.

I really enjoyed this awesome conversation with Miles and I hope you do as well.

My guests today are Jesse and Dan. They are the founders of a new NFT project called Aavegtochi.

These things have it all.

To sum it up simply, Aavegotchi’s are: Defi-staked, on-chain, crypto-collectibles with wearables, dynamic rarity, kinship and even their own virtual world to inhabit and build on.

It's really refreshing to see an extremely high quality NFT project launch and by a team that has an incredible background.

Long story short, some Americans guys moved to china, worked different jobs, one of them became famous and they even started a band. What brought them together throughout all of their adventures was their love of crypto and NFTs.

I am really happy to have the opportunity to speak with Jesse and Dan about this awesome project and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

My guest today is Eric Elliot.

Eric is an internet OG who has been coding since he was a child and is an extremely deep thinker on all things metaverse.

We discuss a lot, from his views on crypto, why the metaverse is inevitable and even how AI will eventually be one of the most common lifeforms within the metaverse.

It was awesome getting to chat with Eric because he is not only extremely intelligent, but also, because he has clearly been thinking very deeply about what a digital future will mean for us as people. Its not just goint to transform our jobs and day to day life, but will have a radical impact on our society.

Please enjoy my conversation with Eric.

My guest today is WhaleShark.

This is my second episode with WhaleShark, the first being a Hotseat episode which was where I grilled him with questions about his project.

He passed that episode with flying colors but we never had the chance to sit down and have a regular conversation.

This is that episode. We get to learn about WhaleSharks background, his business interests, thoughts and theses surrounding the NFT ecosystem and of course his social token $WHALE.

What I loved about our conversation is that WhaleShark speaks very directly and honestly about what he did to get to where he is today. He discusses the details, strategies and basically entire playbook on how to go from idea to successful project.

To sum it up, it's a lot of blood, sweat and tears but WhaleShark proves that anyone can make it if they put in work.

My guest today is Colborn Bell.

Colborn is a cofounder of the Museum of crypto art, commonly called the MoCA. Colborn runs the MoCA with his business partner and friend Pablo. Together they have amassed an incredible collection of crypto art and show no signs of slowing down.

Speaking with Colborn really makes me understand the potential and power of blockchain for creators of all types. They are now able to control their own destiny and create with total freedom which is leading to a creators resonance.

As well as their investments in the crypto art scene, MoCA is also heavily involved with the virtual world of Somnium Space. Colborns passion for Somnium is contagious and he dives deep into what makes it such an incredible and immersive experience.

The MoCA has built an incredible galleries in-world, where people can see amazing pieces of crypto art in full virtual reality. I can't wait to see what creative experiences Colborn and the MoCA team comes up with next.

Please enjoy my conversation with Colborn

This part 2 of the Pranksy podcast. If you haven't listened to part 1 I highly suggest it because its amazing.

In this second part we cover everything from crypto art, to cryptovoxels, Pranksyland, how he handles the massive inflows of information and even how to determine if an NFT project is losing steam.

Sit back and strap in for another crazy good episode with the legend himself, Pranksy

My guest today is Pranksy.

This is perhaps the most epic episode in Zima Red history not only because of how deep we go into NFTs but also because the total recording was around 4 hours long.

After editing, it was cut down to roughly 3 hours and 10 mins but is obviously no less epic. Because of its length, this episode is broken up into two parts, both which are filled to the gills with Pranksys experience within the NFT markets.

Be warned, this two part series is for experts as we do not do much explaining about certain projects, assets or people that we bring up, but really we dive deep into the specific strategies it takes to become dominant in the NFT scene.

My guest today is Carlos Gomes.

Carlos is a man of many talents. He works as a software developer at the crypto exchange Huobi, is the founder of social of the token website ForeFront and even launched his own social token called $SWAGG.

His background and story is extremely interesting and took him from the Cape Verde islands all the way to China and Silicon Valley.

Our conversation focuses on social tokens as Carlos has built an incredible website called forefront which acts as the the one stop shop for all things social tokens. Part coinmarketcap, part news platform and there is even a resource section to learn everything there is about social tokens.

We discuss what social tokens are, how they enable creators and communities, and dive deep into his own social token called $SWAGG.

It was really great to learn all about this fast growing ecosystem from Carlos because he is not only building in it but also putting his money where his mouth is by launching his own token. Carlos is making big moves and definitely someone that everyone needs to follow.

Please enjoy my conversation with Carlos.

My guest today Piers Kicks.

Piers is a partner at the legendary Delphi Digital, which is part crypto research firm, part consulting firm and to top it all off they recently launched their venture capital arm.

If that is not impressive enough Piers also has his own incredible podcast focused solely on the metaverse called Metaverse Musings.

Piers and I hit it all in our conversation. His long history of gaming, thoughts on the crypto asset class, and what impacts the metaverse will have on our society.

What I loved about our conversation is Piers deep insight and knowledge and all things metaverse. He has been studying this idea for years and it truly shows as we go from speaking about NFTs to the societal ramifications of our digital future.

Please enjoy my conversation with Piers Kicks.
