Eric Golden, the owner of BAYC #7560 and host of Web3 Breakdowns, discusses the Otherdeed NFT drop that stalled Ethereum and burned over $150 million worth of ether. Show topics:
- what the Otherdeed mint is
- Why Yuga Labs had buyers undergo a know-your-customer process in order to mint the NFTs
- why Eric was pretty certain a gas war was imminent in the hours leading up to the mint
- how KYC’d addresses played into the Otherdeed mint
- what Eric thought about Yuga Labs’s decision to scrap a Dutch auction in favor of a flat minting price
- why Eric does not believe Yuga Labs purposefully botched their smart contract, as many in the Ethereum community alleged
- why Eric was frustrated with Yuga Labs’s response on Twitter to the mint
- why Eric does not think Otherside needs its own chain
- what effect the Otherdeed mint is having on other Yuga Labs-adjacent assets like ApeCoin and Bored Ape Yacht Club
- what Kodas are and why they are trading for tens of thousands of dollars
- why Eric is confident that Yuga Labs is well-positioned to follow through on their promises to build out a metaverse game
