Welcome to “The Use-Case” a mini-series brought to you by Scenius Studio

Through Scenius Studio, Ben has interviewed 50 of the crypto industry’s top GPs and CIOs. One thing is clear, crypto has some phenomenal investors. Yet, both inside and outside the industry, the same question lingers: where are the real-world use-cases? We’ve built the infrastructure, but where are the apps? What commercial opportunities can blockchain and crypto uniquely unlock? Is speculation really the only game in town?

With The Use-Case, we’re spotlighting underrepresented companies and protocols that are building real, commercially viable businesses—ventures that couldn’t exist without crypto’s underlying technology. We’ll sit down with Founders and CEOs who are reshaping industries with blockchain at their core. Crypto isn’t just an asset class. it’s a technological force rewiring entire sectors for the better. We hope you enjoy these conversations with some of the crypto industry’s leading entrepreneurs and industry disruptors.

In this first episode, Ben sits down with Bill Lakeland, Founder and CEO of Spexi. Bill has worked in aerial imagery for 20 years and understands the world of drones better than anyone. He has built a robust business that sells aerial imagery to businesses and municipalities while incorporating various elements of crypto technology (DePIN, stablecoins, and NFTs).

Let's get into it.
