The History & Future of NFTs | Act 2 | The Rise of the Digital Collector
Manage episode 314222615 series 3290288
We explore how the hype and euphoria of the 2017 crypto bull run sucked in a brain trust of talented people into the space that would stick around after the crash of 2018 and focus on NFTs. Matty DCL Blogger, Jay Delay, Angie Taylor and many more discuss what made them stick around to build, invest in and collect NFTs and the platforms that would go onto define an industry when the rest of the world had lost interest.
We discuss why NFTs first found real popularity initially through art and why its medium resonated with artists like Angie Taylor and ROBNESS its Punk attitude and counterculture and its possible parallels with Punk music.
We explore with, now world leading, NFT collectors like Gary Vee, Metadreamer and Jim McNellis how the medium reawakened their child-like habit of collecting, and the role of platforms in creating and curating demand with the likes of Duncan Cockfoster (Nifty Gateway) and Max Moore (Sotheby’s). Importantly, we also discuss the pushback from artists on royalties when it comes to NFTs. Skeenee, an NFT artist, tells us about the fight for more significant royalties in perpetuity so that artists can one day retire for the amazing pieces that they're creating today.
We zoom into the story of Decentraland. One of the first decentralised virtual worlds made up of NFTs with one of its co-founders Ari Meilich, and how some creators like Daniel of Polygonal Mind were not intimated but excited by its initial emptiness and the potential of what become to be understood as the Metaverse. And we explore why people like Matty DCL blogger came to dedicate all their time and money to collect its virtual land and help build their fledgling communities through meetups and events.
This episode of the history and future of NFTs, an audio documentary, was narrated by Jamie Burke.
The documentary was written, produced and edited by Pet Berisha.
