E67 - NFT.NYC.2023
Live from New York it's WTBS! This week was all about getting out of the house and touching grass (or concrete, in our case). NFT NYC landed in Will & Trinity's backyard! Trinity was on a panel, Will got a Live Mint, Zancan proposed to Ozzie, and the pizza was amazing. Hope you enjoy this slightly different episode that recaps our experience participating in 2 days of NFT NYC events. PLUS, Will issues a Correction on the Quarterly Index report. See pictures from the events in the fxtext article!

Brute Forcing Beauty: Interview with Jeres
It's finally time... Jeres is on the show in their first ever podcast appearance! We are so excited to share this interview with our longtime (in crypto terms) friend and WTBS token collaborator. In this interview we go over the history of Jeres' work on fx(hash), near-breakthrough moments, what it means when a project begins with a capital letter, finding emotion in art, the virtues of publishing under multiple accounts, and more.

E60 - Royalties & Loyalties
Another discussion-heavy episode this week. It's impossible to avoid the conversation around creator royalties and what platforms like Blur are doing to the Ethereum ecosystem. While art seems to be somewhat insulated (especially here on Tezos) we need to prepare ourselves for the inevitability of "royalty optional" trading in the future.
We also have our weekly market update, new drops from fx(hash) and verse.works, and shout outs!

Legitimizing The Space: Interview with Jamie Gourlay
Jamie Gourlay is co-founder of verse.works, a curated digital art collecting platform that has featured many artists we know and love from fx(hash). In our longest interview yet, Will and Trinity dive into Jamie's background in the traditional art world, the challenges of NFTs as a brand, and a long discussion on the importance of markets and how to legitimize the space to make it more appealing to new collectors. This episode is especially timely considering the renewed debate about creator royalties and the non-enforcement policy just announced by OpenSea.

Information Asymmetries: Interview with Kyloren
Another legendary collector joins us for over an hour of market and collecting talk. Kylo was one of the first to mint a Squiggle on Art Blocks and was one of the earliest big collectors on fx(hash) as well. We talk to him about his general thesis for collecting generative art NFTs, what is was like back in the "old days" of fx(hash), why he is starting his ALFA fund, and plenty of artist and project talk! Big thanks to Kylo for making the time and joining us from half way around the world to get this episode recorded.
