TappySF on The NFT Revolution: Finding Freedom Through Conviction
Welcome to the return of Indivisible! We are rebranded with a primary focus on crypto markets as the ultimate intersection of technology, creativity and freedom. To kick things off, this episode features a wide-ranging conversation with NFT collector, industry veteran and cryptopunk @TappySF. Tappy has been into crypto and NFTs since the beginning. He is involved in many top digital avatar collections and the world of 1/1 digital art. If all of this sounds foreign to you, don’t worry, we’ll be breaking it down to market fundamentals. And if you’re a veteran, we’ll also be diving in deep. We explore concepts ranging from greed to trust, pseudonymity, IP, managing volatility and the relationships of mentorship and friendship that fuel the journey. Consider this a high-level NFT primer that covers philosophy alongside brass tacks and harsh truths when it comes to avoiding traps and making profit. I believe there is a unique place for each individual to realize identity and creative power in NFTs. Built into the foundation of profit, is possibility. Wherever you come from, NFTs offer an opportunity to let go of the siloed self. They are a point of fusion that allow us to exist at once as our multi-dimensional selves, anchored in the quantum convictions of the things that inspire us the most. Crypto rewards the doers, and Tappy shares his hard-won lessons from playing the game. I hope it inspires you to play yours. xA 1:50 -Episode Intro 3:30 - Tappy's Introduction to Crypto & NFTs 6:08 - Short History of CryptoPunks and Birth of ERC-721 7:51 - Tappy's Early Journey 11:10 - Managing Market Volatility 14:14 - Market Dynamics: Aesthetics, Community & Profit 17:01 - Greed and Vibes 19:42 - On Friendship and Mentorship, ft. @Anonymoux 25:30 - Pseudonymity and Privacy 29:53 - Market Fundamentals and Trading Strategies 33:00 - The Game of 1/1s & a Love of Art 36:40 - Provenance & IP - Punks, Apes & Toadz 46:05 - Bullet Points on What Makes a Blue Chip 50:41 - Leaders and Followers
