And also from there, you'll get to see the speakers and the events. If anybody intrigues you, please let me know. I'll try to track them down, but otherwise, I'll be visiting here throughout the day, or else at the end of the day with all these pictures and things to think about. So I know it's the Wild West, and we're going to learn together, hopefully

Goodness, I'm a little nervous. We're having coffee, so we're all hyped up. It must be the caffeine. So my focus is bringing NFCs off of flat device screens such as phones, computers, and iPads, and actually bringing NFTs into our physical world in three dimensional spaces as holograms, because NFTs in our physical world are all made of light

I believe that blockchain is just a tool. I think that this is the evolution of the Internet. I really believe that this is going to revolutionize lives for artists to really find success in a new way, without having to find a deal, without having to to give away all of their rights, with the opportunity to be their fullest selves. I'm really excited for it, and I hope you're excited to thank you so much

And so, in the NFT art landscape, we often talk about self sovereignty, and I do think that self sovereignty is a really important and something that we should be fighting for. Absolutely. But self sovereignty is something that I think is a little bit easier to define. And it's this idea that we have autonomy over our own minds and own body. Basically, like this works the unknown. True freedom of expression can't be confined to opinions and things that aren't necessarily relevant to you

So with the nonprofit, we want to give them computers, give them the digital art programs, but also the job opportunities, like being able to work with the artists that are already established in the space and be able to provide tutorials and lessons and teaming up with School of Motion and places that give actual design classes and master classes to the students so they don't feel like overwhelmed. They know exactly where to start. And so, yeah, that's the dream

We have a gonpezer. Sure. So my name is duly tricard. I come from the field of virtual reality and movies and video games, and I love storytelling. And I'm interested in the evolution of storytelling across multiple mediums. And I've been collecting NFPs, and I've been studying lately the blockchain and web three. And how would that become the tool of tomorrow for supporting storytelling?

I was here thinking these are a bunch of speculative people that don't really care about things. And I was completely wrong. Can you speak to the fact that you probably knew that and that's why you're so passionate about making this happen? This is precisely what you're saying is that the NFC world got this image, which is true, of course. How do you say that? Okay. But in fact, this is just a medium somehow. So the artists are there

So you got five minutes, but we'll go back and forth. But I would just love to just get the origin story of how you got to be the kind of guy that would be art, a genius bar to help people. Yeah. So I've been a genius my whole life, and I'm just checking. Right. Actually. So to keep it completely honest, I have a pretty extensive background in a lot of different things that came up in the finance world

Take it as it is your own and do your own research. Always. But the biggest thing about this community and why I would coin this place as a magical gathering in particular is because if you want to take a trip down memory Lane with me. Youtube circa 2012 Instagram circa 20. 15 20. 16. When there was legitimate organic growth, there was legitimate interest in what people are doing and it was easy to grow and network and build and blossom and get your truth out there

We are facing the most insane, hyperinflation rate known to this nation and we are on a track where the purchasing power of the dollar is only going to go down and the liquidity factor is only going to go down more and more and more

When you see, like, so many normal people create so much financial freedom for themselves via this new technology is eye opening, and people should really recognize it. Not question, because I'm not going to get into that. But why is the government trying to regulate these assets? For what? I mean, no one's doing anything. We're just, like, creating our own money funded by us. You know what I mean? Trying to do any anti government rhetoric

Yeah, this conversation was crazy. Go buy some crypto. I'm chilling everything. Just buy crypto

And we think that, in fact, we can create something really cool, really beautiful, not a disruptive or maybe a bad future with machine. It's all about humanity. And I think that the NFDS and Tee artists now, they care about the future, they care about each other, and there's a lot of community now. They want you to be art of this new art and the young people want to create a new story in art. In fact, I want to congratulate you

So people just starting out and we don't just talk about the concepts, but we give them context and we talk about real world examples. And so starting at episode 85 is where I made that shift in tee conversation. So if you want to start looking, listening to that and sharing that with people who are interested, please feel free. And so nice to hear your voice and your interest in this new space. And hopefully I can help contribute
