Chris Skinner: Power of People with Bitcoin, Power of State is too Great!

Chris Skinner is known as one of the most influential people in technology, and as an independent commentator on fintech through his blog, The Finanser.com. His latest book (sixteenth!) is called Doing Digital. He is Chair of Nordic Future Innovation, is a non-executive director of 11:FS and on the advisory boards of many FinTech and financial firms. Mr. Skinner has been an advisor to the United Nations, the White House, the World Bank and the World Economic Forum. He is a visiting lecturer with Cambridge University, as well as, a TEDx speaker. In recent years, he has been voted one of the UK’s foremost fintech observers by The Telegraph and one of the most influential people in financial technology by the Wall Street Journal’s Financial News and Thomson Reuters. Chris is also a successful children's author and co-founder of The Portrait Foundation, a non-profit platform to encourage children and the arts.

Let’s start with the recent crash in crypto, in your blog you state that you believe the end-game will be a hybrid model of CBDCs, stablecoins and cryptocurrencies. I found is fascinating that you state that too many people believe these currencies are all about HODLing (in the crypto slang it’s about keeping them as an investment) instead of what currencies are really about, which is allowing the exchange of value to buy and sell products and services. It’s all about creating currencies that work for value exchange in a networked world.
Would you like an opportunity to give this more depth for those just beginning to invest in cryptocurrency and please define CBDC (central back digital currency)?
What is your take on a global coin and how this would affect governments if it’s realized? A coin that can be traded anywhere, anytime, in real-time with anyone.
Your book, Digital Human, explores the transformations that are sweeping through all spheres of life: the domination of global digital giants; the advent of new financial structures (FinTech); the disruption brought about by Bitcoin; the rise of robots; and the fall of banks.
A standout line from your book: not only will everyone on the planet be connected digitally, they can be raised out of poverty through inclusion. Can we dive into your thoughts on blockchain, cryptocurrency and how this may level the playing field for those in poverty?
Digital for Good looks at everything from how banking plays a role in the climate emergency through the FinTech world using technology to overcome issues of inequality and inclusion.
I’d like to understand this intersection, can you share your vision for Fintech in lifting us out of this global climate crisis and possibly helping marginalized lives?

Medha Parlikar: Web3 Blockchain Does Not Exist without Web2

Medha Parlikar is co-founder and CTO of CasperLabs. She has more than 30 years of tech experience and is considered one of the top women in blockchain. She started working with technology in the early 1980’s, building computers in the basement. For the past two decades, she has been delivering production SaaS software for large companies including Adobe, Omniture and Avalara. Medha excels in building high-functioning technical teams, and inspiring them to deliver solutions that solve customer problems.

CasperLabs is committed to supporting the next wave of blockchain adoption among businesses and providing developers with a reliable and secure framework to build private, public and hybrid blockchain applications all guided by open-source principles

What was the impetus for designing this? Was it missing for enterprise and smaller businesses? And did you build it yourself?

How do you de-mystify and de-stigmatise blockchain for businesses? What are the nuances that work so well with SaaS that make it uniquely perfect for companies moving from Web2 to Web3?

And the recent downturn in the market, how did that affect conversations with your clients?

Trey Pezzetti: VaynerNFT Building Partnerships that Lead with Empathy & Education

Trey serves as a Director of Client Partnerships at Vayner NFT. He focuses on educating his clients on the advantages of NFTs and the business impact Web3 space can have on their relationships with consumers. He leads his clients in all stages of their NFT journey, ensuring authentic entry to the space and building long-term strategic NFT programs. Prior to joining VaynerNFT, he worked as a team lead at an Artificial Intelligence consulting firm and spent 3 years helping build DraftKings marketing partnerships. Trey is focused on putting his clients in a position to take advantage of the next generation of the internet.

Building impact in the Web3 space requires a ton of EQ and AQ and Gary Vaynerchuck and all his various businesses are the blueprint of making sure that the unattractive parts of Web 2 do not seep into the company culture or the client relationships. So it is imperative that the people he entrusts also carry this determination to build an empathetic Web3. You are tasked with all phases of a project with the client but the authentic entry and onboarding process really sets the tone for their experience. What parts of your history, be it upbringing, school or work experience prepared you most for this?

I often speak on this show about road-maps and the rug pulls that are unsuccessful in meeting any part of the promises made. So what excited me about having this conversation with you specifically is that you are achieving this at the highest level in the NFT ecosystem with VaynerNFT. Part of your role at VaynerNFT is building long-term strategic programs. And with very high profile clients. I myself did this in my tenure in white glove hospitality and know how discerning this client can be.

How do you navigate delivering on the vision of a client? And on a more granular level, how do you build out utility that not only serves the client but is attainable?

Can you give an example or case study of a client either at your time at Draftkings or VaynerNFT that allowed you to break new ground to create something that you yourself didn’t see at the start but turned into magic?

The VaynerNFT model really creates an open forum for diversity and empathy. These are core tenants for my show. If I’m not representing that in the speakers and the content I create, then I’m not solving for the future. What do you see for the future in terms of trends and how you and VaynerNFT can possibly solve for the bigger picture?

Are there any projects you are working on that you are especially excited about?

Are there brands or areas of businesses that you are dreaming about creating NFT projects with?

Identify your portfolio with NFT purchases. We present ourselves on social media differently, so why not in your wallet! We embody different personalities, professionally, personally, artistically, politically, with family, different social norms based on environment and who you are with.

Circular economy with NFTs and musicians.

Left field question: are you open to partnerships with creators that come to you with ideas, say through VeeFriends, Discord channels or DAOs?

Victoria Fuller: Playboy Playmate NFT License from Hugh Hefner

Victoria Fuller has always been an artist, from the time she grew up in Santa Barbara, CA. and during her time as a Playboy Playmate where she was the centerfold in 1996 and in the year 2000. Victoria became the only artist ever licensed by Playboy. She traveled as a bunny and a professional artist in galleries around the world. Victoria became reality royalty after the Amazing Race, Girls Next Door, Kendra show, Celebrity Fear Factor, Battle of the Network Reality Stars. And she ran a licensing company called American Pop.

After Hugh Hefner passed away along with the onset of Covid, Victoria needed to use her creative talent to survive. She found NFTs in 2017 and formed Gatefold Labs in 2021.

As Founder and CEO of Gatefolds, she is following her dreams of transcending art into a global ecosystem and leaving no bunny behind as she shares their bond while helping them control their Intellectual Property with blockchain technology.

What is the process of going from canvas to a digital asset like an NFT? Feel free to get granular here.
Do you feel pressure or empowerment as the only artist with the trademark to produce the Rogue Bunnies?
How are you using this niche to reinvent the playmates?
All these ladies are modern day entrepreneurs. Their lives likely do not resemble that Playmate era, how are they using this new platform? Is it complimenting their personal businesses?
I understand you are onboarding each and every one of them, this is a different job than being the artist or the Founder and CEO of Gatefolds, do you like this part?
In the NFT world, we talk about road maps and utilities. Can you share your overall goals, if there is a social good component and any perks for those that purchase an NFT Rogue Bunny?
We will be having a Launch Party with all the Rogue Bunnies together on April 15. Presale 15 and sale 17. It will be streamed Live on the Tiatro Network on the BitcoinSV Blockchain. It is a rare opportunity to see all the NFT Bunnies, hear their stories and party virtually with them. What is the date for our Launch party?? How many Rogue bunnies will come?

Tickets will be made available, follow us to enjoy a rare opportunity to bridge the Web3 world with the most sought after ladies on the planet!

New Fantastical Technology with Stacey Murphy

If you have been wondering about NFTs, how you can get involved, and what they can do for your business, or even if you are totally new to this, this episode is mind-blowing. In this interview with one of my favorite people ever, Stacey Murphy, we talk all about this insane new technology and what it's all about. Stacey is an award-winning serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, imaginative thinker, and founder of Rainbow Spiderwebs.

Zone of Genius
Stacey’s zone of genius is just amazing, she has the unique power of believing in YOU. She describes this talent as being able to see people's true desires and visions, think imaginatively about them, and envision them to be carried out in prosperity and abundance. Stacey came from a childhood that really required her to dig deep in believing in herself, making way for her gift to the world.

Where are Stacey’s Curiosities?
This question, which I love to ask my guests, actually came from Stacey herself. Stacey’s heart is really in a place of caring for and valuing our planet. Right now, she is asking some pretty profound and interesting questions: How can we harmonize technology and nature? How do we use emerging technology, specifically blockchain, with natural elements?

NFTs and Blockchain Technology
An NFT does not stand for “New Fantastical technology” as Stacey so lovingly says but instead it is a Non Fungible Token. This means something that is unique, scarce, and cannot be exchanged once for one with anything on the planet. NFTs are symbols of the shift to a creator economy. Artists will create a painting, for example, they can put it on the Blockchain and sell it and continuously receive a royalty on every sale thereafter, unlike in physical reality where they would only benefit from the initial sale. The Blockchain creates a ledger where you can view the history of any sale of an NFT. Sales of NFT on the blockchain must be purchased with crypto via a digital wallet.

Stacey Murphy
Stacey and I discuss our experiences with NFTs, some unique projects that are making big impacts, and even NFT ideas for Crystal Uncorked. You can find out more about her at her personal website, as well as via Rainbow Spiderwebs. Stacey urges people to learn more about NFTs and the Blockchain now because it is going to change the world and the way we operate, she recommends learning more at NFTS.tips.

How are YOU going to use NFTs for your business?

What’s Inside:

What is an NFT?
What is a Blockchain?
How can NFTs and Technology support our environment?
How our world is shifting to a creator economy.
How can NFTs benefit your small business?

Opé Majek: NFT in Fashion & Design and Wearables in the Metaverse

OPÉ has had a love for fashion ever since she was a child. She has been drawing clothes since she could hold a pencil.

Born in St. Louis, MO. to Nigerian parents, Opé was able to see Nigeria for the first time as a teenager attending high school there. Living through huge cultural changes at the time, it tempered the way she sees a colorful world around her.

Opé worked for Betsey Johnson for several years after leaving Howard University and fell into assisting stylists who would pull clothes for the local TV shows in the Washington, DC area. She later had an epiphany that she enjoyed doing this and worked as a stylist assistant for a year and a half after her discovery. Years later, she blossomed into freelance fashion styling.

Notable Magazine clients like Italian Vogue Curvy, Elle, Zink, People and Blink.

Welcome to Culture Factor Ope!

Your work is so dynamic, from magazine covers to fashion styling direction with Waterford Crystal, Philip Lim, Tahari, Moncler, Vera Wang, Antik Batik, and Mimi Plange.

We need to dish a bit why I reached out besides metaverse, Mimi Plange!!

How would you define your style?
Fashion Design and Styling in Web 2, what are you immersed in?
Fashion Design and Styling in Web 3 ( how is it different)
Metaverse building, what platforms are you buying parcels in and setting up e-commerce ?
Do you have to use an oculus to work and play in Decentraland?
Wearables, what are you working on and what programs do you use to create them as NFTS?
3D printed items, can you use the jpeg to have jewelry or accessories recreated as NFTS or do you need different software to convert them to something else that effectively allows for adding it to clothing or digital representations of people in the Metaverse?
Can you use a 3D scanner on actual jewelry or accessories to create the right file type to make into NFT for Wearables?
What is your dream project?
What is Ope style Lab and where do you see it in 5 years?

Want to listen to the episode with Mimi Plange? Opé worked with her and so did I!

About Divi

Established in 2017, the Divi team have been focused on solving the issues of usability and accessibility to cryptocurrencies that prevent mainstream adoption.

We realized early on that the industry wasn’t equipped to scale with the demand and popularity it experienced. Hence our philosophy to create software solutions that make cryptocurrency easier to use and access for users of all levels of technical expertise.

Starting with the feature that attracts most people to the space - earning rewards, the team developed the first and only genuinely one-click masternode software that enables users of any skill level to begin earning rewards in an instance. With the ability to be launched on any device from a home computer to mobile phone, registered users can earn with Divi.

We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved thus far and it is really just the beginning. We hope that you will join us on this journey!

Along with your role to simplify technology, I’d like to breakdown a few topics for my audience that are in the learning stages:

Blockchain: your definition and why you think it’s a game-changer for currency and commerce

What is a node?

Smart Wallets: the design of a smart wallet and why they might not all be created the same. And is that problematic? Enterprise integrations of the Divi Wallet.

You developed the Divi Wallet and implemented a reward system into it. Do you think the Web3 adopters enjoy and respond better psychologically to adding a gaming component?

How do you make community accessible in platforms like Discord and Telegram. Are they a necessity to the NFT world?

Have they made your product offerings more robust by having this constant touchpoint with the consumer?

As a DJ and music producer, are you planning to use your MP3 files in the NFT space as product to mint or a utility for collaboration with other artists?

The Franklins: NFT Marriage of Code and Art for Social Good

Elizabeth Franklin (aka “Geekella”) is a celebrated two-dimensional artist known for her generous application of vibrant, vivid colors, as well as her use of varied and unique artistic media. Elizabeth's whimsical portrayals of the world that inspires her have earned her victories and recognition through displays and contests from her early childhood into adulthood. Unsatisfied with restricting herself to traditional canvases, Elizabeth has demonstrated her transcendence of everyday media through such venues as the shoe company TOMS, and later she collaborated with the founder of Artonit Makeup. Most recently, Elizabeth found herself captivated by the NFT space. She created the artwork for the generative Dreamy Geeks NFT collection and is in the early stages of creating artwork for other NFT projects.

Jason Franklin is a forward thinker, servant leader, and humanitarian. He is determined to use his talents and skills to make a positive impact on humanity, driven by his yearning desire to make the world a better place. Profoundly interested in a variety of topics such as blockchain, web3, the metaverse, NFTs, artificial intelligence, machine learning, hackathons to make a few things! He understandings the technical side of NFTs, appreciating the endless amount of potential use cases, and staying true to his desire change the world for the better, he proposed to his wife – he proposed that she help him create an NFT collection that would marry their talents in order to bring his visions to fruition. She created the art, and he wrote the code.

If we separate art from the tech to start this interview, Elizabeth, please share your journey as an artist and Jason, your tech journey.

You embarked on NFTs, how did this start and can you share the process of the Dreamy Geeks

Jason, your early exposure to hack-athons for social good implanted the idea behind your NFT model having a purpose, how did you use code to do this? And how did you build it into your project?

What is and how is a generative collection built?

What is the social good piece built into your collection?

Will you continue to iterate on the Dreamy Geeks or are you creating other collections?

Some NFT artists use Discord channels to build communities. Are you using this site or some other way or a combination? And what has been most effective?

Is it a barrier of entry to have to create a community there?
Is it necessary for a 1:1 artist to have a coder/developer? Is this a barrier to entry?

Give a listen to this episode, Brian Fanzo bought a Dreamy Geek NFTs on his show too.
