Zeneca_33 is an NFT influencer, thought leader, and community member (whatever your preferred term is). After playing poker professionally, Zeneca fell down the NFT rabbit hole in early 2021 and has quickly amassed a huge following. His takes are often sobering and always even-keeled, which is incredibly valuable in this emotional and chaotic market. We knew Zeneca had to be one of the first guests on the show. His wisdom and knowledge are reality checks for any type of market, and we go through his approach to the space, how he picks projects, and his own project - ZenAcademy. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323  SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO https://bankless.cc/Zerion  💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK https://bankless.cc/OnJuno  🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX https://bankless.cc/MVI  🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP https://bankless.cc/blockblock  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 3:00 Zeneca_33 8:08 Distaste for Roadmap 11:12 How Zeneca Picks Projects 16:11 Approaching the Market 25:07 How to Flip NFTs 30:08 Art Blocks 39:30 Veblen Goods 44:44 ZenAcademy 56:59 Network Effects 1:01:11 Advice to the Community 1:07:40 Culture & Ethos 1:13:09 Closing ------ Resources: Zeneca_33 https://twitter.com/Zeneca_33?s=20  ZenAcademy  https://zenacademy.io/  Studio by Hatch Coding https://www.hatch.art/for-ages-9-17  Blitmap https://www.blitmap.com/  Top Dog Beach Club https://topdogbeachclub.com/  Curious Addy’s Trading Club https://www.curiousaddys.com/  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
