Memeland and the SocialFi experiment with CEO Ray Chan
About this episode
From being a degen buying blue-chip NFTs to co-founding a SocialFi ecosystem, Ray Chan has an interesting story to tell. In Episode 46, the CEO of Memeland — a Web3 venture studio created by 9Gag, a popular Hong Kong-based, meme-centric entertainment website launched in 2008 — explains why the Web2 company is building for Web3, the importance of decentralized social media and how SocialFi may be the leading catalyst for Web3 development. Chan also shares his experience buying big-name NFTs at the peak of the bull run and joining some of the most exclusive crypto communities.
