Episode 2: Gramajo (@0xGramajo) is joined by Mondoggg (@mondoggg). The co-creater and co-founder of the project Alphadoggg(@alphadoggg_).

Date Recorded: March 14, 2023

Welcome to "Behind The Screen," I'm your host, Gramajo, and in today's episode, we're diving deep with the co-founder and creative mind behind Alpha Dog, Mondoggg. Celebrating almost two years in the heady world of NFTs, Mondoggg's passion for art and technology has led to the soon-to-launch PFP project called Degen Civilization. With a roster of artists like Lip Comarella and Party Skulls, this project aims to bridge the gap between PFP DGens and art collectors, offering a unique token system to claim diverse artworks within the NFT space.
We'll hear Mondoggg's journey from buying Bitcoin to becoming an NFT aficionado, and the lessons he's learned along the way—including the importance of resonating with the projects you invest in. As Alpha Dog gears up to celebrate its one-year anniversary, we reflect on their successes, the influential community they've built, and the fervent criticisms that sometimes challenge the NFT art collections.
We'll also tease apart the buzz around big names like Azuki, punks, and apes in the NFT market, discussing long-term and short-term value plays. And let's not forget about the stunning visuals and emotional resonance behind Alpha Dog's collection—picking just three ETH worth of pieces is no easy task for Mondoggg.
Beyond the pixels and tokens, Mondoggg shares the human side of things—the difficulty of leaving family for NFT conferences and the excitement of meeting community members in person. Strap in as we play a rapid-fire game briefing the fate of NFT projects including Chimpers and Pudgy Penguins, and get an insider's look at the complexities and intention behind the art collection project's future, including pass structures and artist selection.
So, plug in and let's get ready to go "Behind The Screen" with the one and only Mondoggg, where art, passion, and digital community intersect. Stay tuned as we peel away the layers of strategy and heart that fuel the dynamic world of NFTs—right here, right now.
