The NFT Nick Show

NiftyNaut has been in the crypto space for a while but he only recently decided to go all in. As the founder of NiftyHorde his team recently launched Swap.kiwi, a platform for safely exchanging your NFTs with another party at a very low cost. In this episode we discussed his background, his claiming of his punks, and went in depth on Swap.kiwi.

Karsen Woods aka Karsen Daily was responsible for pushing Superplastic into the world of NFTs. Riding the NFT wave on Clubhouse back at the beginning of the year, she became obsessed like most of us and has found her path to full-time NFT land. In addition to co-founding the company Triptych, which had a successful drop, she is now the Chief Experience Officer at 888 The New World. In this episode we discuss her journey and the new project they are preparing to launch.

I brought Nick Kneuper back on the show once again and we literally just degened out. If you are looking for one of my normal interviews this most definitely isn't it. We dove into the past month since I last had him on, talked about our wins, losses, and more. If you are looking for a state of the NFT trading market this is the episode for you.

Robbie Trevino has had quite a career out the gate doing professional design for Magic the gathering, Xbox, and more. However after taking time off and dealing with a chronic illness he found NFTs. In this episode we discuss his career in art, his entry into NFTs, and the launch of his Numinous Universe.

Earlier this year when a Beeple piece was sold for $69 million it took the art and NFT world by storm, setting off the largest NFT art bull rally to date. However the team behind the project was focused on on the massive purchase but instead the B20 project. In this episode I spoke to Twobadour, the steward of the Metapurse fund, to discuss how he got involved with B20 and Metapurse, some of his favorite projects, and plans for the future.

Alex Atallah is the co-founder and CTO of Opensea, the largest marketplace for NFTs today. For context on the company, Opensea did $325 million in volume in July 2021 and in the first 10 days of August have already done $578 million in transactions. In this episode I discussed with Alex the founding of the company, how they select which blockchains to support, the greatest challenges they are facing today, and what he's thinking about moving forward.

When the Bitlectro Labs team released Dreamloops earlier this year it was a major hit. In an ocean of avatar projects DreamLoops is goes against the grain. What they created was a project that I both am a collector of and find absolutely fascinating. They are 8-bit sound loops (or "chip tunes" as they call them) combined with 8-bit visual art. In this episode I sat down with Keil and Gabriel to discuss how they got started and learn more about the production of these NFTs. There was also a little bit of NFT degen conversation mixed in 😂

Conlan Rios went from being a virtual land landlord to artists to building a platform for those artists to sell dynamic forms of art. That platform, Async, now has hundreds of artists on it and includes a lot of well known names including Mike Shinoda, XCOPY, Colbie, Hackatao, AlottaMoney, and so many more. I loved chatting with Conlan about where the limitations and new innovation opportunities are within the NFT space.

Leandro and George both went to design school and came out focused on designing real world objects. However when Cryptokitties launched in 2017 it began to fascinate them. One thing led to another and today they have a team of over 50 designing and building assets for the metaverse as well as tools to make metaverse development more efficient. In this episode I discussed the type of projects that the team is working on to gain a better understanding of the types of companies investing here, the scale of projects, and more.

You wouldn't expect to have a full blown real estate development firm operating in the virtual world but here we are! The thesis of Republic Realm also makes A TON of sense. Janine Yorio & TJ Kawamura are partners running an investment fund and development team across all the key metaverses today. In this episode we discussed how they got started with this fund, why they are doing this, and where things are headed. You do not want to miss this episode!
