NFT All-Stars: The Future of Entertainment With Pete Holmes

This episode is sponsored by TurboTax Live and Metapurse.fund


NFTs have exploded in popularity in the past year. But what are they, really? 

“NFT All-Stars,” CoinDesk’s new animated series, brings together a star-studded panel of investors, curators and innovators to debate, explain and laugh about all things NFTs. The hosts are the true OGs of NFTs: Blockade Games CEO Marguerite deCourcelle, EDM innovator, DJ, and NFT artisan BT, ClubNFT CEO Artnome, and Highstreet co-founder Jenny Guo.

Joining this episode is Pete Holmes, stand up comedian well known for "The Pete Holmes Show" and "Crashing.” Holmes and the hosts imagine the possibilities for NFTs in the entertainment industry. Last year, Homes embarked on a NFT-comedy fusion exploration with "Non-Fungible Jokin'," the world's first live NFT comedy special. 

NFTs were all the rage in 2021, with digital collectibles like Bored Apes and CryptoPunks rapidly becoming status symbols for the new rich. Then, the digital and traditional art worlds collided head-on when a Beeple collection sold for millions at Christie's.

NFT visionaries have since pushed the boundaries of what is possible with the new technology, creating NFTs for almost every creative project imaginable. What’s next?

Fast, Fun & Daily - Markets Daily, from CoinDesk

Hello listeners, I’m Adam B. Levine and this is the Markets Daily Crypto News Roundup, From CoinDesk. If you’re looking for a fast, fun, daily way to keep up on developments in the fast moving world of bitcoin, Markets Daily is the show for you. 

On Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays we cover bitcoin and global indexes, along with a run through the headlines full of quick looks at the stories that matter, followed by a short opinion piece from one of Coindesk’s columnists. 

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we skip the headlines and pair our bitcoin and traditional finance update with a longer feature, taking you down the rabbit hole and back again with time to spare.

On the weekend, we kick back with an in-depth feature, slowing down our faster-than-light pace to think things through and try to make sense of this breathless world.

And speaking of breathless, we’ve got to get back to the show. To listen for free, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. If you like what we’re doing, leave us a review on your favorite podcast player. And from all of us at CoinDesk and the Markets Daily team - thanks for listening.

ON PURPOSE: Digital Gold - How Should Financial Advisors Be Thinking About Bitcoin?

Is Bitcoin digital gold? In this episode of ‘On Purpose, With Tyrone Ross’, we dig into bitcoin narratives as financial advisors see them and explore the concept of bitcoin as a store of value.

“Saying ‘Internet Money’… What else in my portfolio is like Internet Money? Hmmm…." said independent investment advisor and 'On Purpose' host Tyrone Ross, "but when you say 'Digital Gold', alright... Clients can wrap their heads around the digital part, they can wrap their heads around the gold part. They probably own gold in a portfolio already, and then you can get into asymmetric returns and uncorrelated to other assets in the portfolio… Bitcoin is mined and there’s gold mining…. You can start these basic frameworks for the advisor to understand and also make it accessible to clients.”

A message from Tyrone:

The greatest number of people living in poverty are children, we need to change that. If you can, get involved and give back to NoKidHungry.org. Love and Light. I appreciate you!

Lyrics by John Barrett

Copyright 2018 RJM Publishing ‘” BMI Nashville

[To the tune of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas]

Get Yourself a Little Bit of Bitcoin

Let your heart be light

And in time the value will be out of sight

Get Yourself a Little Bit of Bitcoin

Make your Yuletide cool

Those who hesitate will be the only fools

Here we are with the markets down

Don’t you wear a frown my friend

For in time yes it’s coming soon

We’ll go to the Moon again

Through the years we’ve hodled and we’ve traded

Kept our dream somehow

Here’s to all developers you should be proud

So Get Yourself a Little Bit of Bitcoin now.

ON PURPOSE: How Financial Planners Think About Bitcoin with Justin Castelli and Douglas Boneparth

Independent investment adviser Tyrone Ross speaks with Certified Financial Planners (CFP) Justin Castelli and Douglas Boneparth about how they're looking at bitcoin and what they're hearing from clients.

"My biggest concern is that things move too slowly," said Douglas Boneparth, "The horse is out of the barn. You now have advisers getting flak from their clients on 'why am I not here? You've been telling me you mined bitcoin in 2014 and you ... are generally positive about it. You've also been telling me you can't advise about it. ... And I don't want to hear about the SEC and regulations or other things. You're my adviser, should I have been advised on it?’ There's a tolerance here that other clients are going to have. If you tell them ‘no’ too many times, they're going to tell you ‘no’ by firing you. Right now that seems a little extreme, but if you pan out five or 10 years, you have time on your side to see something like bitcoin or crypto rise..."

"I don't have a lot of inbound demand," said Justin Castelli, "But I have a weekly email that I've refined and sent to clients. I'm going to start putting some information in there because I don't know how many of my clients realize i've spent a lot of time researching it, that I know about it, that I personally do some investing in it on my own. I want them to feel comfortable coming to me, knowing that I know about it."

"But Interestingly enough," he continued, "Yesterday I was doing a review with a 58- and 59-year-old couple. They have a lot of cash, wondering, 'what can we do?', and they saw my StockTwits bitcoin, litecoin, ripple on [the wall of my office], and the wife said she'd heard about bitcoin and asked [me] about it. She was actually very interested in learning more because they have more than enough in equities. They're at a point now where they could afford to do this if they understand it. She's like, 'I really like the sound of this, I want to learn more.' Whether or not she actually does it, I don't know, but it was very interesting because you'd think it'd be my younger clients who get more excited about it but yesterday it was a retiree, a former teacher at that, who was interested in it."

Welcome back to the “On Purpose” podcast, I am your host Tyrone Ross, and in this episode you will hear my conversation with Kevin Kelly – all my quants and global-macro folks, get close!

He’ll give you all the reasons why we’ve seen the buildup from a global macro standpoint. It’s an incredible conversation, I can’t use “exogenous” in a sentence like he does but he really nailed it in this one.

She’s also the better half of Pierre Rochard for those of you who follow the crypto space.  

In this conversation you’ll hear us talk about bitcoin and bitcoin only. We’ll talk about why financial advisors should ONLY pay attention to bitcoin and nothing else. Morgen shares her approach to conversations with clients about bitcoin... She’ll also give you some ideas of where you (if you’re listening to this, Mr. or Ms. Advisor) can feel comfortable with your clients going out and getting access to bitcoin.  

I hope you enjoy our discussion. Like it, retweet it, share it, put it in the family chat...  We’ll be back on Thursday with my good friend Kevin Kelly of Delphi Digital, but for today enjoy Morgen’s wisdom.  

And until next time, I appreciate you!” - Tyrone Ross

Markets Daily Gets Political: The Post Trust Election

Today on Markets Daily we're taking a break from our quick-hit news roundup format for a brief discussion on US politics in the age of bitcoin with CoinDesk features editor Ben Schiller and privacy-beat reporter Benjamin Powers.

Yesterday CoinDesk launched its Post Trust Election series, looking at how politics and the U.S. presidential campaigns are coming to grapple with issues of cryptocurrency, data security, privacy, disinformation, online voting, and other areas. We spoke with Ben about why we're launching this series and what it means. Benjamin was on the ground in South Carolina in the days leading up to that primary, saw all the major candidates speak, and spoke with voters, so we wanted to see whether cryptocurrencies and blockchain were factoring into people's thought process around the primaries and election. 

The candidates are largely silent on the issue of cryptocurrencies, outside of the Yang campaign before it folded. But with trust in traditional institutions waning, the rise of a digital national currency in China, and whispers of the same in the US, the world of cryptocurrency is seemingly on a collision course with politics. In the same way things like election interference, disinformation, and the impact of tech platforms rose to national prominence in the years following 2016, we think stablecoins, decentralization, and privacy, will have a similar impact on the national discourse leading up to, and in the wake of, 2020. You can find all our election coverage at coindesk.com/posttrustelection.

Markets Daily Explains: Sim Card Hacks

In the pantheon of crypto hacks, “SIM jacking” is one of the worst. The hack, which is less a hack and more social engineering, is basically a form of identity theft, with the attacker swapping a victim's sim card remotely, usually with the help of your cell phone carrier, and then breaking into their email, crypto, bank accounts, basically all the stuff you definitely don’t want someone to break into. It's audacious but it’s also preventable with a little awareness.  And the consequences can be dire, it’s also netted attackers tens of millions in loot over the past few years.

In this episode of CoinDesk Explains (from the Markets Daily team), Adam B. Levine and John Biggs explain the attack, what it could mean for you, how it works, and what you can do to prevent it in a way that even your grandpa could understand.

On today's holiday episode of Markets Daily, we're joined by John Barrett for a holiday classic.


Lyrics by John Barrett

Copyright 2018 RJM Publishing ‘” BMI Nashville

[To the tune of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas]

Get Yourself a Little Bit of Bitcoin

Let your heart be light

And in time the value will be out of sight

Get Yourself a Little Bit of Bitcoin

Make your Yuletide cool

Those who hesitate will be the only fools

Here we are with the markets down

Don’t you wear a frown my friend

For in time yes it’s coming soon

We’ll go to the Moon again

Through the years we’ve hodled and we’ve traded

Kept our dream somehow

Here’s to all developers you should be proud

So Get Yourself a Little Bit of Bitcoin now.
