Episode 59 - Morning crypto talk about L2 rankings & Wal-Mart’s awkward appearance in the metaverse

Good morning! This morning I talk about layer 2 ranking websites and what layer 2's basically are. Then I talk about the awkward appearance Wal-Mart has made in the metaverse. Just like early auto manufacturers called the car the horseless carriage, is Wal-Mart making the same type of comparison by bringing the brick and mortar tore tot eh metaverse to try to relate?

Episode 58 - Monday morning BTC dumps, farts in jars, and REFI’ed web3

Good morning! Yup. It's Monday. I start by talking about Kazakhstan unrest as the source of the Bitcoin dump. Then I talk about reality TV "star" selling her farts in a mason jar, who will now be switching to the NFT market. Hooray for NFT credibility! Then I talk about Reimagined.Fi as another new DeFi 3.0 platform.

Episode 57 - Lazy Sunday morning general crypto rundown

Good morning! This morning was a basic general rundown of lots of crypto projects. First, I get on an unintentional rant about Cardano. Then I talk about what this OSMO token I see that has been pumping is. I also learned what the Sunflower game is and how it has been clogging up the Polygon blockchain. I end it with a list of top NFT wallets.

Episode 56 - Quick little follow-up episode on BTC NFT’s

Good morning! This morning I barely crawled my ass out of bed to do this episode. So this episode is super short compared to all my others. I wanted to make sure I remained consistent to my everyday show grind. I spend the show following up on the Bitcoin NFT that Vlad Costea of The Bitcoin Takeover podcast made. I said I would get one from the dispenser he set up at xchain.io. I really was super easy. Now a new world of Bitcoin NFT's has been opened up to me!

Episode 55 - My little mad dash through DAO tooling and how to create a DAO

Episode 54 - Samsung bringing NFTs to your living room and EIP-2981 baking in royalties

Good morning! This morning I read a couple of articles about about Samsung incorporating an NFT marketplace into their new TVs. This coincidentally happens to come just after Theta CEO Mitch Liu happened to make a trip to Samsung in Korea to talk about NFTs with them. I am not trying to overdose on Theta hopium, but it all sounds very interesting. Then, I dig into the new EIP-2981 NFT standard that bakes in royalty payments at the protocol level. To be honest, I thought it was already baked in the ERC-721 token, but I guess I did not understand it fully. The royalty payments have been taken care of at the marketplace platform level. So if an NFT was created on one platform and sold on another, then the royalty may not apply.

Episode 53 - Talking about automated governance in DAO with James and Ivan of BanklessDAO

Good morning, again! I did a double-header this morning and did an interview with Jameswmontgomer.eth and Ivanlozada.eth. They are both fellow BanklessDAO members. They have been working non-stop developing a "Gov-Bot" that will help to automate governance in DAOs. This bot will start out automating the process for role elections. In Discord, and in DAOs in general, this process can be cumbersome and centralized. This bot is a great start at putting more of the "Autonomous" in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. Great conversation!

Episode 52 - Being a degen with DeFi 3.0. Wait, 3.0 now?

Good morning! This morning I do a quick rundown of DeFi 3.0 and Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS). This is by no means professional coverage of this concept or these projects. I just wanted to take a look and see what's up with this new buzz word I keep seeing on Twitter, and well, here you go!

Episode 51 - Gushing about Fantom and Andre Cronje

Good morning! Thsi mornign I was going to be talking about Gnosis multisig wallets and how to use them for your DAO, but then I got side-tracked like I oftentimes do and started talking about Andre Cronje, which led to a thread about Fantom chain he retweeted on his feed. I ended up reading and commenting on the thread. Obviously, I am bullish on Fantom!
