🎙️A Bright Future for NFTs | Steve NFT Bark

A true optimist comes on the show to talk web3, media, and the book about NFTs.

Jan 9

What’s up everybody, it’s LG Doucet here.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this interview since we recorded last week.

I’ve been following Steve since he got started. At first, when they launched dGen network, I was like who the hell are these guys. I was very territorial back then, a sentiment that I’m grateful didnt last too long

Over time, I’ve come to really admire Steve. He’s a relentless guy; always moving, hustling, looking for something new and fresh to work on.

I didn’t know what to expect when I had him on. We’d never spoken outside a few DMs.

But damn. I was impressed. He has so much energy for the space, despite my constant narrative of gloom and doom.

I loved hearing his stories. From building his first website int he 6th grade that was just a bunch of weird Riddles, to spending the dGen network’s mint money on a secret guy who gets allow lists.

Steve is a player in the space, and I highly recommend you give him a follow.

He taught himself HTML and built a site filled with Riddles
His book deal with Penguin Publishing
The best Discord he’s in (surprising answer)

We’ve had some banger pods (and newsletters!) the last few weeks, including last week when I went back to my speculative roots.

🎙️10 Rules for NFTs in 2023 | TheReelPhilD

What’s up everybody, it’s LG Doucet here. A year ago we were full of scintillating optimism. Markets were up, Ballerz were pumping, and January 2022 became the most-traded month ever for NFTs. Almost $5B was exchanged on OpenSea alone that month. I wrote Rules for NFTs in 2022 and they were largely optimistic. In some cases, I even told myself to stack up…

The Dapper Labs 2022 Report Card 📚

I miss report cards. As a solopreneur, no one evaluates me. No one grades me. No one gives me constructive feedback to help me reach my goals at this company. Rather, I rely on engagement and data to gauge my performance. And looking at the numbers for the second half of 2022… it doesn’t look great…
