🎙️ NFTs Need To Evolve or Die | Pod 188

thefirstmint.substack.com

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

Today’s pod is a special one (they’re all special!).

My brother, TheReelPhilD, whom I’ve hosted hundreds of live shows and Twitter Spaces with, joins me on the pod for a candid and raw conversation about where things are at in the space.

For this episode, we talk about…well a little bit of everything.

  • Why Phil still enjoys collecting NFTs (even if no one sees them).

  • How our communities are literally keeping us alive right now.

  • Why some of these platforms might not make it to the next round of crypto.

  • Would you join the space if you only found it today?

  • Will NFTs actually ever boom again the way they did?

All that and more, on this very special edition.
