When Bat Soup Yum first dipped his toes into the icy waters of the NFT world, he was as skeptical as they come. But as he'll tell you himself, a simple bet transformed his outlook, leading him down a vibrant path where art collides with blockchain technology. Join us for a whirlwind tour through the evolving narratives of digital art and Web 3.0, guided by the insights of Batz, the enthusiast turned evangelist. Together, we traverse the peaks and valleys of the NFT market, chuckling at our earlier, less-informed selves, while pondering the profound implications of NFTs for creators and consumers alike.

Ever caught yourself marveling at the unexpected resilience of the art market, even when the going gets tough? Batz and I certainly have, and in this episode, we're bringing that marvel to you. He pulls back the curtain on his personal collecting anecdotes, drawing surprising parallels to the simple joy of baseball card collecting, and reveals the inherent value found in art that truly speaks to one's soul. We wrap up this segment with an eye on the future, eagerly looking at what team 6529 has in store for bolstering digital creators and the community that cherishes them.

The art of discovery in the NFT space can be as complex as it is exciting, and Batz is no stranger to its challenges and triumphs. We candidly discuss the intricacies of curating digital art, sharing how our own purchases are shaped by a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices. As we round off this rich conversation, Batz unveils the collective aspirations of his team, 6529, aiming for an even deeper dive into the promotion and marketing of creators who are shaping the digital art landscape—one blockchain at a time.
