I appreciate you continuing to follow Look Up! although I’ve been a bit inconsistent these last few weeks. Life has been busy and crypto markets are 24/7.
I have recorded some great new episodes, have awesome guests scheduled this month, and am excited to introduce you all to Look Up!’s first sponsor!
This Week’s Podcast:
Building the Open Metaverse with Ryan Gill, Founder of Crucible DAO
In this episode, I sat down with my friend, Ryan Gill, the founder of my portfolio company, Crucible. Crucible is building at the cutting edge of the “Convergence stack” - the merging of Web 3.0 and the Open Metaverse. Ryan has always been ahead of the game when it comes to future trends. That’s why it was great to hear his take on NFTs, the future of gaming, and the Metaverse.
Crucible is building an open SDK for “Direct to Avatar” commerce. In the spirit of decentralization, the project will launch as a Distributed Autonomous Organization (DAO), meaning that the user will govern the network. You can learn more about Crucible and the Open Metaverse here
