Just how bad is Meta’s plan to take a nearly 50% cut of digital asset sales in its virtual world? Is Coinbase’s partnership for a film trilogy with Bored Ape Yacht Club a sign of things to come? Is Web3 living up to its decentralized and distributed promise, or have corporate influences already corrupted it? The Defiant’s Camila Russo and Robin Schmidt join Real Vision’s Elaine Ly to talk about a wild week of NFT, Web3, and metaverse news, including the launch of Aku’s Akutars and the issue of refunds for digital art purchases. Recorded on April 13, 2022.
