Notable Quotes

“I don't want to just sit there and make the same content that people already see in the space. I don't. I also don't want to sit there and be the person who is sitting there making content around the same web three games and talking to the same people. No, I want to go out and find millions of gamers, connect them with my content and bring them to Web three because that's where the real value is for these games.”- Brycent [17:52]

“If you want to just be known in Web three, of course, you want to tweet all day and all that stuff, I think that's a little bit less important because Twitter isn't where games are going to find their next 100,000 or million users. So I would say having a strategy for Tick Tok or some other short-form platform and doubling down on that is super important.”.-Brycent [44:53]\

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)

Notable Quotes

“There's kind of this disconnect in the imagery of women in that mid-century period that I still think kind of exists somewhat today. And so that's originally what a lot of the artwork was meant to depict. And of course, same with the 10,000 piece collection. But now add the opportunity for storytelling and building out characters to it.” – Sara [15:29]

“One of the big focuses with Women and Weapons for me was to make sure that the faces that people saw on Women and Weapons were somewhat representative of themselves, their family members, their friends, and so on and so forth, which is why you kind of see like a mixture of different ethnicities within the Women and Weapons ecosystem.” – Sara [19:35]

"I want to leave behind the legacy of fostering a community of individuals that can uplift and support one another, and telling stories of strong, brave, and incredible women." – Sara [43:33]

Welcome to the Immutable Mindset podcast, your ultimate guide to the future of blockchain technology, crypto, and the next evolution of the internet.

In this episode, we talk about the future of blockchain digital assets and Web3. We are delighted to be joined by Max Comparetto. Max is a co-founder of Salesforce Web3 Studio and a force in the Web3 world and digital assets. Despite initially studying international affairs and Spanish at the University of Michigan, he broke boundaries to become a pivotal figure in technology. Max's relentless drive, curiosity, and immutable mindset led him to Salesforce, where he bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3, revolutionizing the industry with a seamless customer experience. He excels in smart contract templates, Web3 data models, collection monitoring, wallets, and risk sharing.

Kevin and Adam sit down with Max, and they discuss his path to entering the software industry. They delve into Max's experience as a technical recruiter and his transition to working at Salesforce. Max shares his fascination with DeFi and self-custody, which he attributes to his Italian heritage. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by developers and Max's current work at Salesforce, specifically his involvement in developing a new user-friendly Web3 product that aims to connect people worldwide to the third version of the web. They also explore topics such as NFT management, blockchain transactions, and the tokenization of real-world assets. Additionally, they delve into how brands are increasingly taking ownership of the customer journey within the realm of Web3.

Notable Quotes

“Owning the customer journey, and interacting directly with digital assets, are two different things. You can own more of the customer journey and not have greater exposure to digital assets, and that is definitely the truth of what I see most often with brands. Brands want to take on more of the responsibility for engaging directly with the communities that these types of things can attract. They want to engage with these communities, and they want to engage with consumers who are engaging with digital assets, but they don't want direct exposure to digital assets themselves.”- Max (46:03)

“To securely hold value and have it be truly, like, immutable and like protected and then have the true freedom of choice because without holding something in custody, something you don't really have, like true freedom, you're like, asking for someone's permission to do something with your stuff. It hits me so deeply. And then when you see situations where trust is abused or destroyed or deteriorated to some degree it just makes no question at all like you're kind of, I don't know, the conviction in the future of things being driven in a self-custody way”- Max (20:16)

Our Guest
