John Carvalho of the Biz podcast, NFTs & gaming, $10 Billion on Bullish - To the Moon ep. 12 May 19, 2021

Show notes

John Carvalho of the Biz podcast joins us this week as we discuss his work on the Biz, his pioneering new revenue model which allows listeners to crowfund the release of new episodes of his podcast through onchain and Lightning Bitcoin donations, Decentraland co-founder Ari Meilich's new project to bring NFTs to blockbuster video game titles, & Block.One's new $10 billion dollar exchange Bullish.

We also try to get John to spill the beans on his mysterious new Bitcoin startup, which he claims will show shitcoiners how to "do it" with Bitcoin, instead of just offering criticisms on why shitcoins should be avoided. You won't want to miss it!
