My guest today is Alex Svaneik. Alex is the founder of Nansen which is a blockchain analytics platform that allows users to have deep insights into on-chain data. We go through Alex’s impressive background and the reason he started Nansen. It is super interesting to hear Alex’s entrepreneurial journey from ideation to execution What was also surprising is how important on-chain data really is - a fact that dawns on me during our conversation. There is an incredible amount of insight and analysis that can be performed on on-chain data in order to generate returns, something I know all of you are deeply interested in. While speaking with Alex you can tell that Nansen is going to be a monster. Especially because they recently announced that they raised a huge $75m round and are quickly approaching unicorn status.

My guests today are Josie, Ben and Chris. This is a special episode because not only is Josie my wife, but she is also creating a project called Cyberbrokers, which is a series of 10,001 fully on-chain art collectibles. CyberBrokers serve as the foundation for an entire ecosystem that is going to be part story, part game and part experience. It is incredible to hear the team's story as not only are they all OGs, but they have created this elaborate backstory that explains the lore of the CyberBrokers universe and really brings the project to life. It is also exciting to see how they are pushing the technical boundaries of NFTs by putting assets with exceptionally high-level of detail, on-chain. It is always amazing speaking with teams of this caliber and I look forward to watching what they build going forward Also Josie wanted me to remind everyone that the last day to sign up for the CyberBroker allowlist is Feb 18, midnight. Its open to all and anyone can sign up Please enjoy my conversation with Josie, Ben and Chris. https://cyberbrokers.io/ https://twitter.com/CyberBrokers_ https://twitter.com/josiebellini https://twitter.com/cybourgeoisie https://twitter.com/m3mnoch

My guests today are Noah & Ian from Parcel. Parcel is the go-to platform for virtual real estate & experiences, think Zillow but for the metaverse. I loved chatting with Noah & Ian, not only to hear about their story but also the manner in which they view virtual real estate. We can think of virtual worlds not like cities, but more like experience platforms. Experiences can be built on every parcel of digital real estate and these platforms will eventually evolve into something like user-owned and governed social media. A much brighter vision than where social media sits today. Hearing Noah & Ian’s entrepreneurial journey is exciting and inspiring - I hope it encourages more to jump in and start building as it is people like Noah & Ian, the builders, who keep driving the space forward. Please enjoy my conversation with Noah & Ian. https://twitter.com/ParcelNFT

My guest today is Ori Levi. Ori is the founder of NFTrade which is a decentralized multi-chain NFT marketplace, indexer, and platform. I often call NFTrade the “Binance” of NFTs because they ship lighting fast and they offer a plethora of NFTs from every chain. Hearing how Ori operates and builds NFTrade is inspiring to say the least. Launching mid-last year they have already become the most popular destination for certain chains like Avalanche and offer different products like NFT farming and staking. Ori’s perspective on the market is super insightful and he is seeing the full market picture vs just focused on a singular chain - having insights like that can open some series alpha opportunities. Please enjoy my conversation with Ori https://nftrade.com/ https://twitter.com/NFTradeOfficial https://twitter.com/phirex

Today is a special episode because not only do we have one of the most OG artists who created NFTs before NFTs even existed, but it is also the 100th episode of Zima Red! When I started this in 2019 I had no expectations on doing this for over a few months and now, 2 years later, I am looking forward to keeping this up for the next decade. So incredibly happy to be able to talk to the smartest and hardest working people in the NFT world and enable everyone to learn alongside me. Alright enough of that, let's get to Sarah. My guest today is Sarah Meyohas. As mentioned before, Sarah is a legend. A creative with a financial background, she has been on the forefront of art and tech since her college days and in 2015 she created an amazing project called Bitchcoin. With a deep interest in bitcoin she understood that there had to be some sort of mechanism to combine art and the blockchain - today that revelation is obvious but back in 2015 it had never really been done before. Launched on her own blockchain, Bitchcoin was created as an artistic experiment and expression and of art, feminism and finance. What I find extremely fascinating is that Sarah “revived” and ported over roughly  3,300 Bitchcoins to Ethereum in 2021 so they could live forever, as the blockchain she originally created was no longer operating. A unique method to preserve these historical asset that exists entirely in digital form. This conversation had it all - an incredible creative and innovator who shares her deep passion for art, finance and technology. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. Please enjoy my conversation with Sarah. https://twitter.com/SarahMeyohas https://sarahmeyohas.com/bitchcoin/

My guest today is Sillytuna. Sillytuna has to be the OG-iest OGs out there. He is a game developer who got involved in bitcoin in 2012 and hasn't looked back since He is the creator and founder of numerous different projects and has done some really exciting things. From starting an NFT card game back in 2016, to his new project called Soulcast, and in 2021 he even sold an alien Cryptopunk for $12m dollars. This episode is like a masterclass in the history of crypto, NFTs, crypto gaming and what the future of this industry holds. It was an absolute pleasure speaking with Sillytuna because his past experiences can teach us a lot about what to expect going forward. Before diving in, I will leave you with an exciting quote “We’ve got decades to go. We are the internet in 1994.” With that, please enjoy my conversation with Sillytuna https://twitter.com/sillytuna
