NFT Culture Podcast

“VeeCon 2022 Is Inspired By Favorite Events I’ve Seen Throughout My Life, Including Business Conferences, Music Festivals, Closed-Door Offsite Events, And Not Least Of All, Summer Camp Activities. This Is The Career-Defining Conference Of My Life, And I Will Deliver. I Hope To See You There.”
– Gary Vaynerchuk

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to experience something and realize in that moment that you’re apart of something transformational and things will never be the same.  VeeConin its entirety was one of those moments, but during the event I was lucky enough to sit down with Gary and ask his questions about the event, veefriends, and NFTs in general.

VeeCon has been a long time coming. You can see the full timeline to VeeCon here.

Not just for VeeFriends, the event for all intents and purposes was the penultimate experience for anyone interested in NFTs or web3.  No other event has brought together so many individuals from so many backgrounds in an environment of positivity, trust, and innovation.

The Kumite project launches with 9,600 custom illustrated 2D NFTs, genetically generated from a comprehensive custom code set and a wide array of unique traits.  Each NFT is completely random at mint and consists of over 240 different characteristics and multiple unique layers and traits.  Each avatar has a unique look and a unique identity.

BIG3 is where FIREBALL3 superstars play. The premier global league features many of the greatest, most popular and skilled professional athletes of all time.  

As the BIG3 league enters its 5th season of play and breaks records as the fastest growing sports league since the UFC, the league ownership announced a ground-breaking and trailblazing opportunity for investors. Team ownership through the blockhain and NFTs.

“This is team ownership in the 21st century,” said BIG3 co-founder, Ice Cube. “We’ve created a special bond with our fans since our first game in 2017 and this is the natural next step. We want fans to feel even more invested in their favorite squad, more connected to their favorite player, and provide them with the opportunity to grow with us. While other leagues are flirting with fan ownership, none of them have more meat on the bone than BIG3 team owners.”

Maalavidaa is Alycia Rainaud, a french Graphic Designer and Digital Artist based in Montréal, Canada.

She graduated in June 2018 with a Master Degree in Graphic Design as well as a thesis dealing with the analogy between Book's shaping and Psychology. In the meantime, she created Maalavidaa in 2016 as both a persona and an artistic mindset.

Inspired by Jungian therapy, color therapy and meditation, her work explores life’s complexity and the feelings that arise from that reality through daily abstractions. Think of it as a tool for self-expression as well as a path to increase emotional intelligence and mental health sensitivity.

Alycia started working as an independent creative director in January 2019 while mainly focusing on putting together editorial design, mental processes and visual experiments through a highly saturated yet dark aesthetic.

After entering the NFT space at the beginning of 2021, she founed Heal The Deal, Crypto's first ever emotional support club as a safe space in the Metaverse driven by a creative, inclusive and caring community.

Alongside her print-oriented background, Alycia is also experienced with branding, motion design, programming, UI/UX, textile design, laser cutting, 3D printing, offset/screen-printing, and cultural mediation.

THE MAD PUPS CURATED NFT DROP JAN 1, 2022

The Mad Pups are a collector-led group that came together over a shared passion for NFTs and especially digital art.

How we got started is a really interesting story. We are like most collectors, we just had the good fortune of being early, but our experiences individually are something that we feel a lot of collectors can relate to. We come from different backgrounds, but NFTs brought us together in the first part of 2021, as we were all collecting on Nifty Gateway and spending an inordinate amount of time in their Discord server.

As many may recall, one of the biggest drops early in 2021 was Mad Dog Jones’ Crash and Burn back in February. Part of this drop involved the opportunity to burn five of MDJ’s genesis pieces (either Ideas r the currency or Thoughts as a system) and in return you would receive a 1/1. You have to remember, this was one of the first drops to incorporate a burn mechanism, and it was really innovative at the time. A couple of the future Mad Pups held one or two of these burn ieces, but not enough to redeem for the 1/1 individually. We were discussing what we should do in Discord, as a few whales were already redeeming for 1/1s and the prices on the burn pieces were skyrocketing. We kept raising our prices higher and higher when an idea hit us—what if we collectively burned for a 1/1? We checked with MDJ if this would be allowed and when he gave us the green light (he always thought a group would do this), we burned our pieces for what became Overpass (Night). We ended up being the only group to burn for a 1/1 and it’s one of the best earliest examples in our view of the power of collective action in this space. There were four of us at the time, and thus the Mad Pups were born.

Degenerate/Regenerate is a 7,400 piece generative NFT art project by Shepard Fairey. Pulling from Fairey’s 32 year stencil, illustration, and fine art archive, this collection layers iconic images programmatically to create new, unique pieces of digital art. Each randomly-generated piece will be priced at 0.1 Ethereum.
