80 - The Fascinating Emerging World of NFT Avatars Online

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to our Co-Founder and CEO Matthew, and our product manager Jimmy Chang. We’re going to dive into the new NFT avatar craze that’s taking over Twitter and what it means for the overall NFT space.We discuss why people are spending so much money on these NFT avatars. Aren’t they essentially just JPEGs? We also talk about why people are wanting to identify as these digital avatars online, often instead of their real faces, and how it could affect interactions.We talk about the community that is forming around a shared interest in NFTs, and whether the NFT market is starting to exclude people who can’t afford to pay high prices. The guys also weigh in on what makes an NFT avatar project more or less successful—is artwork less important than community-building and exposure?Finally, we talk about some of the best NFT projects right now, and what made their community-building so successful, and the guys share their thoughts on the long-term future for NFT avatars.—You can follow Matthew on Twitter and LinkedIn, Diana on Twitter and LinkedIn, Jimmy on Twitter and LinkedIn, and learn more about Unstoppable Domains and our work here.—Don’t forget to rate, download, and subscribe to the podcast so you won't miss an episode and we can keep producing awesome content for you.
