PROOF PROOF

Derek, Eli, and Sam join us (LIVE!) to talk about the week’s events in digital art and NFTs– they have so much to share that sometimes they even all speak simultaneously (hey, it's the first live broadcast). 

They discuss the recent exciting announcements from PROOF, and give their takes on Ticketmaster and Disney web3 news. The trio gets into DeGods’ migration to ETH, and also share their 1 ETH art picks for the week. Plus, a preview of the PROOF Artist Spotlight with Per Kristian Stoveland (The Harvest).
