My guest today is Joel, co-founder of Metalith and NIFTEX. Joel is building products that are expanding the economic capabilities of NFTs.

By focusing on foundational financial infrastructure, Joel intends to set up the NFT market to be larger than the traditional crypto market.

Speaking with Joel reminds me a lot of reading Fred Ehrsam’s early blogs. For those who don't know, Fred is the former co-founder of Coinbase. Fred’s blogs from 2016 and 2017 were so far ahead of their time, reading them will make you feel like he had access to a time machine. Joel seems to have that same foresight when it comes to NFTs.

Per usual, what I admire most about Joel is that he is a builder, not just thinking of the future and how it will play out but actively shaping it.

Please enjoy my conversation with Joel.
