Context: Views on Crypto and Culture
from Loading...
Blake chats with the longtime supporter and friend of Boys Club, Trevor McFedries. Heās really done it all, from founding Friends with Benefits (FWB) and creating the first AI generated influencer Lil Miquela, to being an early employee at Spotify, to DJing around the world,and producing top 10 records. Heās one of the most unique and dynamic thinkers in crypto.
Blake and him discuss a myriad of topics including art, NFTs, the difference between outworking and outthinking, what streaming was meant to be vs. what is has turned into, and how his sports background continues to inform his work ethic.
Blake also asks him about why he started FWB, the inefficiency of influencer culture, who captures the economic value from social capital, and how crypto rails have been and still can be applied to make its upsides more equitable.
Youāll come away with some super valuable insights if you care about crypto culture, however you define it.
This episode is part of Lens Protocol's FWB FEST coverage, in which Context is excited to be apart of (and Blake had a great time attending!).Ā
