OPINIONATED: Culture and Crypto Collide,...

COINDESK
About this episode

NFTs brought culture to crypto. But with floor prices dropping, are crypto and culture doomed to remain separate?


“Opinionated” hosts Ben Schiller, Danny Nelson and Anna Baydakova break down CoinDesk contributing writer Jeff Wilser’s article “Investing in Web3: Culture and Entertainment,” which categorizes potential investment opportunities in crypto. The hosts debate how the biggest culture-focused crypto projects – non-fungible tokens, decentralized autonomous organizations, gaming, sports and more – have fared to date, and how they might take off or fizzle out in the future.


This show is produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl with additional production support and announcements by Michele Musso. Our theme song is by Elision.
