NFT Marketplaces: Aggregation, Centralisation & Individuation?
I have been thinking a lot recently about how NFT marketplaces will evolve, especially as it feels like every other deck I see is some form of marketplace. Then today I saw a debate between two very intelligent people in the space, whose opinions I have grown to respect. I wanted to share my thoughts (some of which are borrowed from them). I don’t currently have a conclusion but this is how I am viewing the different options and issues facing the NFT Marketplace space. Problem - There are SO ...
Defi Dives: Ribbon Protocol
Disclaimer I am a member of Ribbon DAO and use the protocol. None of what I say here should be taken as investment advice, this is simply an examination of how the platform works.I want to start doing some dives into Defi protocols and products. This can be as much a learning opportunity for me as you dear reader. It gives me a chance to break down topics into concepts easier to understand and examine for those of us who aren’t far right on the IQ bell curve (I know where I am located…hint it...
Sol Breakpoint 2021
First of all, let’s get the important stuff out of the way… GMMy fav piece of ‘merch’ all week 😂 thank you Slope & the dude walking around with these in his hair. I was lucky enough to attend Sol Breakpoint in Lisbon this year. I was there on a personal and professional basis both as an angel investor and to represent New Finance :)I wanted to write a bit about my experience, to share my views with others and also, for my own sake, document the event. To share some of the interesting compani...

On Dec 7th we are excited to start releasing Season 1 of The New Finance Pod: A Sceptics Guide to New Finance.
So mark your calendars. We will be sharing the link shortly.
Our goal is simple: to have interesting and balanced conversations about the exciting developments going on in the crypto & open banking spaces, but also challenging realities ahead of us.
Every week Mike Kelly and I host a different guest to discuss different areas and topics around new finance.
In season 1 we cover topics from:
regulatory risks & considerations,
DeFi,
NFTs & gaming,
utility & identity,
social tokens,
DAOs,
philosophical takes on the crypto and blockchain arena
& many more… :)
We have some amazing guests lined up for you from some brilliant projects including Defi Alliance, DIA to AAVE, and some really interesting conversations we can’t wait to share.
Season 1 will be 6 episodes, but we are already planning season 2 with more guests and more formats.
In Episode 1 we kick off with the esoteric and fascinating Alex Dunsdon. Alex has a background in advertising and VC before going deep down the Bitcoin rabbit hole which led him into the wider crypto ecosystem. He is a deep thinker and a lifelong learner. Alex is a wizard when it comes to narratives and human psychology. A great place to kick off :)
We can wait to share it with you all and look forward to the feedback as we make season 2 even better!
We would also like to thank our amazing team for helping to bring this all together. Thank you: Meg Benn, Will Viles, Emma Bell, Shaaz Ebrahim, Andin Farrell & Nasos Papadopoulos :)
