About this episode
On this episode, we talk about Google Play’s policy update allowing NFTs in their apps, Hollywood’s latest proposal amidst the strikes revealing studios want to own the likeness of background actors in perpetuity and Snoop Dogg’s Web3 music platform, Sound. Most importantly, Avery and Sam talk about the expansion of the pod to include more topics and guests. Gen C is the new generation of the internet. The C stands for Crypto, but it also stands for Creators, the Connected Consumer and Collectibles (both digital and physical with OnChain provenance). It stands for Culture and Characters (the ones we play in games and the companion ones that AI is building alongside us. It stands for Community and Digital Citizenship and the new set of transparent and trustless tools being built to govern them. Welcome to the new Gen C!
