Crazy About Crypto Show

Another week in the NFT Space has passed, which means we have a lot to recap. Join Farokh and company as we break down the top trending news headlines of the past week.

Today's guest is an OG Bored Ape Yacht Club Member that had enough conviction to hold onto his ape through all the twists and turns and extremely volatile price swings of the last year. He also has a unique role in the industry by being a VIP Customer Support agent for Dapper Labs during the Top Shot craze. He buys with conviction and has a portfolio that exemplifies that long term thinking. It's my honor to share the stage today with someone I'm excited to learn more about myself, JBond!

Michael Dumler is a friend that I met through the Crazy Carl Collective. He's an NFT Photographer that has constantly put relationships first in the Web3 space. Today he's coming to us from Poland/Ukraine on the ground between borders helping bring supplies in and refugees out of the war stricken country. He asked for some time to chat about what him and his team are up, to help spread the word to the Web3 community. I'm so glad he did, and am excited for him to join us today.

Ali, a prominent figure in the NFT space and dedicated community builder, shares his inspiring journey from Cool Cats community member to revered moderator. He discusses the emotional and practical challenges of investing in NFTs, stressing the importance of risk awareness and community connections. Ali emphasizes relationship-building in the metaverse and the essential role of moderators in fostering welcoming environments. With insights on organic community growth, he showcases how genuine connections can lead to collaborative success in the ever-evolving Web3 landscape.

On NFT Fomo a couple weeks ago you had mentioned something about this space that still has stuck in my mind, and that is that there has to be shared responsibility and accountability by EVERYONE involved, from the artist to the devs to the community builders to the community members themselves. I think that really honed into what's missing in Web3 today, and would love for you to chat a little more about your thoughts there.

Today's guest has a special place in my heart. I was introduced to him through Nicole Benham, who was on this show a few months back. She had talked very highly of him on the show, and since Nicole and I now co-host NFT FOMO, he's made several appearances on panels we've held. He's a pioneer in disruptive tech, advocacy, and he fights for a better world with his actions more than his words. He truly understand where we need to head in Web3, and his position as an advisor for the Dented Feels project made me very bullish because he thinks of how to uplift communities first and foremost. His list of accolades are too long to number but most notably he was the former CEO of Jake Paul and Logan Paul. He's been a leader to so many other leaders in the space, including myself. It's my honor to share the stage with a man I feel honored to call a friend, Paolo.

I love this show so much, because everyone's journey is so unique and personal and today's guest is no different. Originally the featured artist of an up and coming NFT project, he and the team had a falling out... but in true Web3 spirit the community listened to the stories of both sides in different Twitter Spaces, and from that two projects were born, each with communities that supported their project and vision. The beauty of not being silenced but being able to feel heard is important, and right in line with the true ethos of Web3. It is an honor today to share the stage with the incredibly talented artist and founder of Dented Feels - Dentin!!!

Today I'm so excited to have a friend in the space join the show. It is often those closest to us in the space whose journey we learn from the fastest. Through friendship, we grow. Today's guest has an extraordinary story about his journey into the Web3 space, and after hearing about it I had to have him on the show. From starting his journey tuning into Clubhouse rooms early last year, to becoming one of the moderators and close friends of those he was learning from - he embodies how curiosity, relationship building, and friendships can change the course of your destiny in Web3. It is my honor to share the stage with my close friend, moderator and community builder of Rug Radio and Dented Feels NFT, and now Alpha contibutor in the Crazy Carl Collective - Aaronito!!!

Farokh, Crazy Carl, and company recap the top 5 trending topics in the NFT Space this week.

Today I'm so excited to have one of the great female crypto art OGs join me on the stage. Most of the world discovered crypto art around March of 2021 after Beeple's record breaking 69 million dollar Christie's auction, but there were a handful of artists that were around well before that, and today's guest was one of those pioneers. After falling in love with art as a child, today's guest (like many of us) got busy in life and lost touch with creating, that is until she heard about this new world of NFTs. She is an example of not giving up on your dreams, and leaning into the unknown. She has had several extremely successful NFTs drops on MakersPlace, and is now preparing to launch her own generative NFT collection called Katy's Love Lost Dolls. It's my honor to share the stage with the one and only Katy Arrington.
