Rhea was one of the pioneering artists to explore blockchains as a medium for her work.  Her early experiments on Bitcoin and Ethereum sent me down a massive rabbit hole in 2021, so it was a pleasure to finally have her on the show to dig into her early history.

Ken is the developer behind PixelMap which is one of the earliest NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. It's the first "billboard-style" NFT on Ethereum and gives owners the ability to create, display, and immortalize artwork directly on the blockchain. Ken's the nicest guy you will ever meet and I always point to him as one of the best developers in the Historic NFT space as he is constantly engaging and delivering value to his community.  Be sure to check out the PixelMap website and Discord to see the fun stuff Ken is working on, it's awesome!

This is one of my favorite interviews ever.  We discuss Adam's early work founding the Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast and how that grew into so much more. I think you will find Adam to be extremely curious and his unique perspective enabled him to foresee much of what we now see coming to fruition in the space.  Twitter - https://twitter.com/AdamBLevine Discord - https://discord.gg/qGJx27n7Bg Pixelmind - https://www.pixelmind.ai/

JP was an early Counterparty pioneer who created quite possibly the first 1 of 1 NFT on the platform "OLGA" and was responsible for numerous other innovations and firsts. I highly recommend jumping into JP's Discord to connect with him and check out his website where he has compiled some fantastic lists of early NFTs.

Early art blockchain pioneer Joe Hamilton released one of the first art NFTs on Bitcoin on October 9, 2014.

Spells of Genesis (SoG) is one of the most important NFT projects in history, so I was thrilled to have Shaban on to talk about its origins and future. We also get into Shaban's views on burning cards which is such a hot topic today.  And how crazy it is that SoG cards are being auctioned at Sotheby's only 6 years after their creation. *Spoiler alert* Shaban thought it would take 50 years = ) SoG on Opensea Twitter: https://twitter.com/shaban_shaame Twitter SoG: https://twitter.com/SpellsofGenesis Website: https://spellsofgenesis.com/

This is an epic Twitter Spaces discussing the birth of the metaverse with the founders of Spells of Genesis (Shaban) and SaruTobi (Christain).

Super excited to have you learn more about the artwork of Victoria Verdandi. She is an established contemporary artist who - in November 2017 - decided to learn to code to put her art on Ethereum. Amazing! I compare her to Mitchell F. Chan in this regard as both recognized the potential for art on the blockchain and then took the initiative to make it themselves. I love that.

This is a live Twitter Spaces recording of three legends in the NFT/gaming space Christian Moss, Koji Higashi, and Shaban Shaame. Recorded on October 22, 2021, the talk walks through the early history of blockchain-based gaming. Christian is the founder of SaruTobi one of the very first play to earn blockchain games and a pioneer in NFT interoperability. Koji was responsible for Book of Orbs - which was most likely the world’s first mobile token wallet focused on early NFT collectibles.  And finally, Shaban, who is the founder of Spells of Genesis.
