Jacob (@JacobSilverman) comes on the pod this week to give us a brief overview of the rise and fall of 'non fungible tokens', the digital tokens that were supposed to usher in the blockchain-enabled economy and rejuvenate the art world. He tells us why NFTs were a scam from the very start, how it could have only emerged in the zero-percent interest rate climate, and what's happened to the tech companies who went all in on the Bored Apes.

PALESTINE AID LINKS

As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate using the links below.

https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate


https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict


Currently, Aid is not getting through. You can donate with the knowledge that these funds will be used the instant Aid is allowed into Gaza, but please do make your voice heard in other ways about this. Showing up at protest marches and writing letters to elected MPs are useful acts of solidarity. Please encourage your elected representatives to support calls for a ceasefire, while still bearing in mind a ceasefire is at best a temporary reprieve and represents the bare minimum
