Collector Spotlight: From CryptoPunks to Adidas Collaboration with GMoney

Doing the NFTs on Ethereum is, you know, probably one of the biggest pros and yeses. Because I think one of the things that you see is a lot of organizations, they come into the space, they're like, 'Oh, we're going to work on a side chain because [we] have some sort of deal or they're giving us something or whatever.' But it's just not crypto native. Go to where the real fan base is.

Once I found NFTs, that was my second 'holy shit' moment in crypto. The first time was the first time I used Aave.

When you zoom out, even like Larva Labs and CryptoPunks, they're still only four-years-old. So, we're still so early in everything ... Bored Apes are less than a year-old. What they've been able to achieve in that time is incredible to me.

I do own a few Solana NFTs ... I'm still up in the air on whether Solana NFTs take off because I think the quality of the artwork on there hasn't been the best up until this point. But I do think that if Solana as a chain is going to scale and become very user-friendly, then I think you have to at least have some exposure there to Solana NFTs.

In Q1 of 2020 when the Fed and central banks around the world started bailing out everybody and printing money, that was my first Ethereum buy—literally the day Jerome Powell had that press conference.

I very much believe everything in the real world is an NFT, so they will all be coming on chain at some point.

One of the things that I'm really good at it is figuring out consumer trends pretty early as they're beginning to catch on. Time and again throughout my career I've been able to, kind of, see something a little bit earlier than most and capitalize on it.
