WTF is an NFT? Why are they worth so much? And what do they have to do with internet cats and the NBA? All of these questions and more answered on this edition of Same Same but Tech. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are unique digital assets that can be bought and sold on the public ledger of the blockchain. In this episode, we trace the story of the rise of Dapper Labs, who’ve been on the front edges of advancing NFTs. In 2017 they started Cryptokitties, an NFT marketplace offering a digital den of kittens that are cute, unique and collectible. We’ll talk to Dapper’s CEO Roham Gharegozlou about how they evolved from novelty kittens to huge trades on NBA Top Shot, a highly lucrative market for NFT collectibles and highlights from the NBA’s hottest players. The age of the NFT is upon us, but before you shell out your hard earned crypto coins, is this latest blockchain trend a bubble? Or are we on the cusp of a paradigm shift -- where digital and physical items now hold the same value? With expert insight from Devin Finzer CEO of OpenSea, one of the biggest NFT marketplaces operating today. Hosted by Máuhan M Zonoozy, Head of Innovation at Spotify, Partner-alum at BCG Digital Ventures, and NYC-based angel investor and entrepreneur. Powered by BCG Digital Ventures.
