My guest today is James, a multi-district leader in Decentraland. James is intensely focused on bringing the metaverse to life by leading the festival, university and vegas districts in the virtual world of Decentraland. We dive into different metaverse-native business models and why blockchain-based virtual worlds are more akin to platforms than games. James is filled with different ideas on how to accelerate the emergence of the metaverse and he has the technical chops to back it up. We even discuss the future of the ecosystem and what the Google of NFTs would look like. Please enjoy my conversation with James. Vegas City Twitter Vegas City Discord

My guest today is Baus, the founder of Decentral Games.   Baus is building The Flamingos, a casino in the virtual world of Decentraland, but if you think that is cool, it gets better.   Not only is he creating a revenue-generating business within the Decentraland metaverse, but while on his mission to create the best user experience for those in his casino, he is actually streamlining interactions with the blockchain so they become almost effortless.   The technologies and techniques that he is developing can radically simplify blockchain applications for the wider world. And that can't come soon enough.   Please enjoy my conversation with Baus. Decentral Games Website Decentral Games Twitter Decentral Games Discord Baus Twitter

My guest today is Artur, the founder of Somnium Space. Artur is building a virtual reality enabled metaverse with Ethereum-based asset ownership. I loved our conversation because Instead of NFTs, we mainly focused on what our virtual future will look like. Artur is a metaverse maximalist that believes that our society and the entire world will be radically transformed by virtual reality and its associated environments. And that is why he is so focused on building Somnium Space. Like most guests we have on the podcast, Artur is a doer and willing the metaverse into life with his team. I am so fortunate that I am in the right place at the right time, to be able to watch the metaverse form before my eyes. Please enjoy my conversation with Artur.

My guest today is Dan, a co-founder of Nonfungible.com. Dan is building a platform that focuses on the data surrounding the NFT ecosystem but has plans to turn it into much much more. What I loved about our conversation was Dan's focus on the core fundamental values of the crypto ecosystem: Transparency, security, and self-sovereignty.    For Dan, this is not just another industry he wants to be apart of because of its massive growth potential, this is not even an industry at all for him. This is a movement, this is a revolution to create a more transparent and freer society.  Now that is something I want to be apart of.

GoWest has been involved with crypto since the very, very early days and was one of the first people to get involved with CryptoKitties. He brings a value investor mindset to the world of nonfungibles and explains how he looks for assets with true longevity. It was an honor speaking with GoWest and he gave me great perspective on our ecosystem. When your boots are on the ground, day-to-day, it's hard to see the bigger picture but GoWest does an exceptional job making me zoom out and realize that we are on the frontlines of a massive paradigm shift. Please enjoy and make sure to follow GoWest on his Twitter, Nifty Report.
