In this Monday episode, we chat with Mike Schmidt about the innovative way he is releasing his legacy project, “Lost In Transit,” a decade of moments in the art of observing human beings commuting on The Staten Island Ferry. Mike shares the exact wording he used to DM collectors about his work and emphasizes the importance of laying the groundwork with collectors pre-mint. Mike is an active supporter and connector in the NFT photography space and he can be found co-hosting and sharing his curation insights with artists in the MetaJungle community weekly. Mike is also an NFT collector with a passion for art and artists. He shares what goes into his decision-making process when he collects.

Ev also joined us with a weekly dose of nerd talk. We hear about the $570 million hack on the Binance's cross-chain bridge that continues to highlight inherent bridge vulnerabilities that exist in the web3 crypto space. We also learn why Sloika custom contracts are non-upgradable and why Ethereum is perhaps the most resilient blockchain in existence today. It’s a myth about how decentralized things are these days — some of the tools being used by some web3 players have major elements of them that are centralized. As we look to the future, it’s good to know what kinds of things to look out for. Recorded October 10, 2022.

Our speakers: Mike Schmidt, Ev Tchebotarev, Subodh Shetty, Omar El Towayer, and host, Pam Voth.
