GHP #61 - NFTs, the Blockchain, Codifying Value and Helping Creators Monetize Content with Ben Share!

Episode 61 is with Ben Share, Co-Founder and CEO at Dime!

Dime helps turn your content into genuine digital collectibles for your followers to buy, sell, trade and collect. While NFTs have the potential to transform the way we create art and use the internet, we still need a system in place that's powerful enough and clear enough for everyone to use.

Dime is the first NFT marketplace to not require a crypto wallet, the first to transact purely in $USD, and most importantly, the first marketplace that ordinary people will want to use.

We talk to Ben about the utility of NFTs, the Blockchain and Web 3.0. We discuss the future of these technologies and how creators will be significantly impacted by advancements in this space. He details his journey founding Dime and what the internet of tomorrow will look like as the foundations are laid today. 

If you’re looking to stay ahead of the next big shift on the internet, this episode is a must!
