In this Monday episode, we are joined by collector, AlphaTrilogy, for a chat about how he got started collecting fine art in real life and how this transformed into collecting fine art NFTs and photography NFTs in particular. We check in on his recent acquisitions which include 35 pieces (at current count) by Sebastião Salgado, several pieces shot in North Korea by Stéphan Gladieu, and Helios by Subodh Shetty. Besides photo NFT collecting, we talk about fishing, Ted – the regionally-famous oil painter and restaurant owner, what Alpha looks for when buying art, how he discovers what to buy, some early lessons learned in the NFT space, the risks that are introduced when considering an upgradable smart contract like Manifold is offering, semi-custodial wallets, SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum), and how a Delorean Alpha5 NFT can turn into a very fancy ride IRL and in the Metaverse. Recorded October 17, 2022.

Our speakers:  AlphaTrilogy, Ev Tchebotarev, Subodh Shetty, Kafeel Gillani, Waleed Shah, Kirit Prajapati, Adam Carity, Zach Lipp, Dave Yoder, and host, Pam Voth.
