gm: Art Blocks and the Digital Art Debate
Description
Art Blocks, the generative NFT series, exploded in popularity and price last fall. Art Blocks founder Erick Calderon (aka "Snowfro") talks to Dan Roberts and Stephen Graves all about why the price surge actually hurt Art Blocks and the problem with NFT speculators, the debate over digital art vs. traditional art and his views on Bored Apes and CryptoPunks, how he got into NFTs after starting a physical tile business with his father, and why he thinks everyone's mortgage will eventually be stored on chain.
