Ken is the developer behind PixelMap which is one of the earliest NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. It's the first "billboard-style" NFT on Ethereum and gives owners the ability to create, display, and immortalize artwork directly on the blockchain. Ken's the nicest guy you will ever meet and I always point to him as one of the best developers in the Historic NFT space as he is constantly engaging and delivering value to his community. Be sure to check out the PixelMap website and Discord to see the fun stuff Ken is working on, it's awesome!

This is one of my favorite interviews ever. We discuss Adam's early work founding the Let's Talk Bitcoin podcast and how that grew into so much more. I think you will find Adam to be extremely curious and his unique perspective enabled him to foresee much of what we now see coming to fruition in the space.

JP was an early Counterparty pioneer who created quite possibly the first 1 of 1 NFT on the platform "OLGA" and was responsible for numerous other innovations and firsts. I highly recommend jumping into JP's Discord to connect with him and check out his website where he has compiled some fantastic lists of early NFTs.

Spells of Genesis (SoG) is one of the most important NFT projects in history, so I was thrilled to have Shaban on to talk about its origins and future. We also get into Shaban's views on burning cards which is such a hot topic today. And how crazy it is that SoG cards are being auctioned at Sotheby's only 6 years after their creation. *Spoiler alert* Shaban thought it would take 50 years = ) SoG on Opensea Twitter: https://twitter.com/shaban_shaame Twitter SoG: https://twitter.com/SpellsofGenesis Website: https://spellsofgenesis.com/

Super excited to have you learn more about the artwork of Victoria Verdandi. She is an established contemporary artist who - in November 2017 - decided to learn to code to put her art on Ethereum. Amazing! I compare her to Mitchell F. Chan in this regard as both recognized the potential for art on the blockchain and then took the initiative to make it themselves. I love that.

When Trent built Ascribe in 2013/14 NFTs virtually zero artists had published their works on a blockchain. Ascribe changed that. But by all accounts, Ascribe was a fantastic platform for artists to launch on Bitcoin. Only one problem, the market simply wasn't ready for it. I chat with Trent about what it was like building the platform. The work he did to onboard artists. And what artists today can do to access those early NFTs that they may have published with Ascribe.

Sarah's pioneering artwork Bitch Coin was launched on Bitcoin in February 2015. She later moved the work from Bitcoin to Ethereum using what she calls a "sprawling project." Let me tell you, my head was spinning;) We get into all of the details of her visionary work and chat about where she sees NFTs and art heading in the future.
