Real Vision Recast | Why Fashion is the Metaverse's Next Hot Property
This is a recast of an interview I guest hosted on Real Vision in December 2021 featuring Daniella Loftus, digital fashion expert and founder of This Outfit Does Not Exist.The idea of digital fashion is nothing new for today’s youth. Through mediums like Fortnite, Roblox, and a host of other video games and social media apps, our species has reached a turning point in which virtual accessories are more coveted than the latest designer clothes. Digital expression has become vital for communal interaction, and Daniella Loftus, founder of This Outfit Does Not Exist, is capitalizing on the opportunity. She acknowledges that this subsect of NFTs has lagged behind others, like digital art, but believes 2022 will see explosive growth for the NFT fashion sector. Loftus noticed this societal shift early on and is currently amassing a digital fashion gallery. She joins Leslie Lamb, host and producer of the Crypto Unstacked Podcast, to discuss her work in the digital fashion space. Check out her gallery here: https://www.thisoutfitdoesnotexist.com/exhibit. Recorded on December 11, 2021.Watch the full interview here

Real Vision Recast: QCP Capital | Why Crypto Volatility is On the Rise Ahead of 2022
This is a recast of a recent interview I guest hosted on Real Vision featuring Darius Sit, co-founder and managing partner of QCP Capital. Darius Sit speaks about his outlook for the DeFi sector. Being Singapore-based, Sit is at the heart of the Asian financial markets and digital asset community. After a recent meeting with Paul Tudor Jones, Sit came away with enlightening insights on inflation within digital assets. While global fiat inflation is viewed as bullish for crypto, Sit learned from his meeting with Jones that inflation is rampant in the digital asset space itself. The advent of Dogecoin and the Shiba Inu token demonstrates the inflationary nature of crypto as many new tokens come online with multiple tokens idolizing the same breed of dog. In addition, Sit gives us his outlook for 2022 and explains why we may see some volatility in the months ahead. Recorded on December 7, 2021.Watch the full interview here
