Being in the crypto, blockchain, and future web space is never dull, thats for sure. The narrative by John Rice on the judges response to SECā€™s request to prohibit Binance US from acquiring Voyagerā€™s assets, was awesome.

Market was beat up this week. A race to the bottom with zero fee NFT marketplaces. But don't worry there will be a day when revenue is necessary for the business model. Ambiguity with regulation continues and this week was one for a need to have a cold shower and wake up fresh this coming week. This and more in this week's recap of news. Week 09, Yā€¦

Here's the thing, we're still early in the game of crypto, blockchain, and future web developments. The hindsight of looking in the rearview mirror on how innovation has historically been greeted with the same ambiguity as crypto and AI is happening today. It would be much smoother if incumbents would just realize they could be the disruptors by caā€¦

AI is becoming a recurring theme so far in 2023. It appears regulation and governance will be coming much sooner for AI than what is happening with crypto. The results of AI has many people questioning the bias and the opt-in of source. While we would hope that history does not repeat itself, it seems that may be the case. This and more in this weeā€¦

AI is experiencing a substantial amount of interest, especially from investors. There is even companies receiving millions of dollars and they do not have a company name yet. We love the potential but it seems like the innovation chaos that happens time after time working in tech, will repeat itself. We just hope it doesn't leave as many scars as oā€¦

FTX headlines continue, but one other big talking point this week is that of Twitter. We did not buy Twitter, none of us did. Elon Musk bought Twitter. And Elon is getting beaten up about it.

The advertisement model needs innovation. While there is a massive budget, there are becoming too many portals with an Ad model revenue that keep cutting up the overall pie.

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) are under fire right now. The latest CFTC enforcements and unclear road map are the reason we are talking about DAOs in this episode. We are cautiously optimistic that DAOs will eventually find the right governance practices to receive a critical mass of adoption. Fort Brox Crypto Podcast Episode 20 Timā€¦

When a company reaches a critical mass, should we not evolve the way we search for value? Example. Netflix has reached a critical mass. Yes new subscribers are important, BUT. Is retention of existing subscribers and cash flow not more important to help determine current value? New subscribers alone does not make sense to us. Week 43, Year 2022, Epā€¦

You have probably heard, beg for forgiveness rather than ask permission? In the world of NFTs, crypto, blockchain and web3, that may not be possible. We may have to take a web2 approach with a web3 backend until things can be adopted by the powers that be. Week 41, Year 2022, Episode 31.

"Sell The News" has been a big theme this past week as it relates to the Ethereum Merge. While the affects will take time, this weeks news has been just as chaotic with Fed Rate hikes and the potential, in our opinion, that Apple could very well play a role in the landscape of how web3 changes the dominance of Apple's app store. Week 38, Year 2022,ā€¦

Why do you need to wait for a bank to open on the weekends to do business? Close a deal? Why wait after 6pm to get your banking done? Why can you not settle transactions faster. Avoid chargebacks, and stop paying fee's for simply using money? We believe Nano offers a solution, but their value proposition is so simple it may be the reason why mass aā€¦

The Merge. That is all it really was this week. Is it going to work? Is it going to fail? What will happen after? The actual switch seems to have gone just fine, but the collateral damage we believe will not be seen immediately, but there are already signs of it happening. Example. Mining took a hit, but will the hit last? Week 37, Year 2022, Episoā€¦

Data is a funny thing. Too much of it, how do you make sense of it? Too little, how do you create projections?

People are wondering why the Metaverse graphics suck? Even after $177 Billion has been spent. It looks similar to what Second Life was years ago. Our simple thought is, it is not a priority for those developing it right now. There are real challenges to delivering great graphics. Even if Pixar or other Hollywood CGI houses did the graphics, the harā€¦

If NFTs are M&Ms, they can melt in the market and not just in your mouth. M&Ms creating Bored Ape Yacht Club branded candies makes sense, but it's the inflection point that makes you question how perceived value becomes real value.

We can appreciate how much of a challenge learning new subjects can be. In the case of learning about crypto, the task can be daunting.
