In this episode we deep dive into the world of digital art or crypto art. What are NFTs and how can something widely available online still be valuable?

How did the crypto art market seemingly blow up over night? Why should you care?

We talk about the beginnings of SuperRare and how difficult it was to convince people to take digital art seriously.

We deep dive into the NFT boom. From digital art to collectibles to things in between, like CryptoPunks. Finally, we also look behind the scenes trying to figure out who are the people buying all these tokens?
