Welcome to the Immutable Mindset podcast, your ultimate guide to the future of blockchain technology, crypto, and the next evolution of the internet.
Today, we are taking you on a journey with a crypto wizard, a man who has gone from laughing at people buying NFTs to proudly owning and displaying his own cryptopunk as his profile picture. In this very special episode of The Immutable Mindset, co-founders Adam and Kevin sit down with Sergio Silva, Senior Director of Business Development at FireBlocks and a blockchain, NFT, and crypto expert.
Notable Quotes
“If we do a good job of onboarding our family and friends, teaching them the right way and helping each other out; nobody needs to get fished; nobody needs to get hacked; but to also just give up the responsibility to have some big brand do it for us that just goes against the ethos of crypto.” – Sergio (14:48)
“That brings all these lead players and participants are not aligned with the visions which is just to make really awesome me-bit memes with really dope artists. I’m really lucky that I’ve been here for two years. I have really cool artist friends. And so that’s always been the idea and obviously the pillars of the manifesto. And now there is the expectation of profit and when everything is going up you are a genius and people love you. And then things correct as they should, and then literally I have people in my DM’s threatening to come and kill me and so it has been an exercise and a lesson in managing emotion and expectation, communication and tokenomics.” – Sergio (33:50)
