New York Magazine put it best: Reading Dirt is "like getting a note about something interesting from a smart friend." A casual reader wouldn't know it, but the newsletter's operation is actually funded in part through th...

How do you curate an NFT collection?

And are curators actually just gatekeepers? It's a question we see raised often on crypto and NFT Twitter. In a space like social media where nuance is lost, tastemakers and curators have sometimes become the unfair targets of those looking to shake up the business of selling art, and by extension, the business of selling NFTs. We discussed this question and more with Jamie Gourlay, the co-founder of Verse, a new fine art NFT platform that enables collectors to discover and acquire NF...

Why would anyone invest in crypto right now?

We had the chance to chat with Ryan Carson, who is, yes, the founder of a brand-new $40 million web3 VC fund. So of course we asked him: Why invest in crypto right now? As the former COO of Proof XYZ , he had a lot of thoughts on this topic. We also discuss why he won't bet on anon founders, what it's like having the Twitter storm turned on you, and why he's still all-in on Moonbirds, the NFT project he helped launch that has seen sales top $200 million. Vocab words: Dutch aucti...

Are NFTs even legal?

Drum roll please... we finally found a crypto lawyer! This week, we sat down with Cryptones, a Twitter friend and securities lawyer – or so we hope.

Regardless, we had a long and fascinating convo about our burning securities questions, the Howey Test, and whether NFTs in their current form will even be legal five years from now.

How do you build an ecovillage using NFTs?

AkiyaDAO is "a Japanese ecovillage project funded by an international community of climate-conscious builders, artists and solarpunks." That raises a lot of questions: Isn't crypto bad for the environment? And what does an ecovillage even have to do with NFTs? We sat down with Michelle Huang, founder of AkiyaDAO, to hear about the DAO's plan to create an IRL community (or a crypto commune?) using the power of NFTs.

What has changed in the year since THE Beeple sale?

On March 11, 2021, artist Beeple's NFT "Everydays: the First 5000 Days" sold at Christie's for $69 million. The sale shattered both art world expectations and auction records, and in the one year since, the "traditional" art world and the NFT world have become more intertwined than anyone could have predicted.
