Ep006 of the podcast features Scott Byrd, or better known in the web3 space as BygByrd. Scott is a digital art collector, a community leader at Art Blocks, an old friend of Snowfro, and a proud grandfather.
We met Scott in Marfa and we were captivated by his stories. We are sure that most of you will be pleasantly surprised to hear some of these old stories, especially involving Erick!
In this episode Nifty and Jared get into some of Art Blocks early history with Scott, his background, some really great old stories involving Erick, and of course some thoughts about the impact of Squiggles.
