NFT's Next Big Unlock | Overpriced JPEGs with GET Protocol
Colby Mort & Olivier Biggs lead the marketing team at GET Protocol, one of the earliest blockchain event ticketing platforms in the space. GET has had such a fascinating journey and if it weren’t for the current global pandemic, things would be even more intriguing than they already are. GET Protocol participated in the ICO craze of 2017 and unfortunately, even with a more than functioning product, were only able to raise a portion of what they had set out for. However, they didn’t let this deter them and they have the track record to prove it. With their eyes set on a fully decentralized protocol and plans to be the web3 bridge for the events industry, this is truly just the beginning. In this interview, Colby and Olivier cover why blockchain ticketing is the future, why it isn’t mainstream yet, and so much more. Potential token alpha?!

The Future of Trading Card NFTs | Overpriced JPEGs with Franklin Fitch
Franklin Fitch (@Fitchinverse) is the Director of Growth/Marketing for Parallel—one of the highest touted digital trading card games (TCGs) in crypto. Franklin gives a 101 breakdown of Parallel’s sci-fi backstory, lore, community, roadmap, and so much more. Parallel is redefining TCGs from the ground up and rewriting traditional “NFT Project” playbooks one page at a time. With over 30,000 active holders, 35,000 discord members, and 73,000 Twitter followers, Franklin and the Parallel community believe this is just the beginning. Legacy trading card games such as Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, and Hearthstone have largely ignored crypto. However, Franklin gives credit where credit is due as he recognizes that these games built the foundation for Parallel—and even inspired the Parallel we know and love today. Franklin has been in and around the crypto space for years, and you can hear the experience in his voice. Parallel’s vision for the future is equally as inspiring as the team helping to build it into reality. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974 ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO https://bankless.cc/Zerion 💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK https://bankless.cc/OnJuno 🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX https://bankless.cc/MVI 🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP https://bankless.cc/blockblock ------ Topics Covered: *(0:00) - Intro *(4:32) - Frank’s background *(11:40) - Why crypto clicked *(16:15) - Parallel explained *(19:43) - Why Frank was interested in Parallel *(20:47) - NFT pack dynamics *(27:15) - Parallel’s team *(31:10) - AR/VR roadmap *(32:55) - Parallel game specifics *(38:26) - The rarity of Parallel cards *(44:57) - Regulatory discussion *(49:32) - Parallel’s growth/marketing evolution *(55:09) - Are we still early? *(58:39) - Comparing other games *(1:01:52) - Parallel’s podcast *(1:05:30) - Magic the Gathering’s inspiration *(1:11:00) - Best next steps *(1:15:16) - Nerves around the hype *(1:16:57) - Future IP *(1:18:14) - Wen Parallel game?! *(1:20:58) - How NFTs go mainstream *(1:28:19) - Bullish or bearish ------ Resources: Parallel’s podcast https://twitter.com/parallelnftpod Franklin’s Twitter https://twitter.com/Fitchinverse Parallel’s site https://parallel.life/ Franklin’s explainer blog post on Parallel https://medium.com/@Fitchinverse/why-parallel-1f939f5aa714 ----- Not financial or tax advice.
