from NET Society · host NET Society
The Net Society crew is back together and deep in the trenches as Aaron shares a three-hour descent into NFT Twitter Spaces, setting the stage for a wide-ranging conversation. They kick things off with a heated debate around Beeple and pop art criticism, unpacking what makes certain artists lightning rods in digital culture. From there, they explore signs of life in the NFT market, touching on PFP comebacks, new drops, and the return of curiosity across collector circles. The crew then zooms out to look at the broader vibe shift in crypto, including post-regulatory thaw, meme coin nihilism, and the internet’s habit of forgetting. They revisit the royalty debate and explore how sustainable models might return, before diving into Pudgy Penguins’ ETF and what bridging TradFi with NFTs could look like. The episode wraps with a lively back-and-forth on robots, asking whether we really want humanoids in our homes or just cute little machines doing our chores.Mentioned in the episodeGood Vibes pfp https://opensea.io/collection/good-vibes-clubInfinite Garden by Leander Herzog https://www.infinite-garden.xyz/ArtXCode Virga by William Watkins https://www.artxcode.io/collections/virgaShow & HostsNet Society: https://x.com/net__societyDerek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedwsChris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0xPriyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesaiAaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01Production & MarketingEditor: https://x.com/0xFnklSocial: https://x.com/v_kirra(00:00) - NFT Trenches & Beeple Discourse (06:56) - NFT Market Vibes (12:58) - Introduction (13:23) - Comebacks & Community Energy (18:19) - Regulation, Meme Coins & Memory (24:58) - Royalties & Market Mechanics (25:24) - Pudgy ETF & TradFi Bridges (30:48) - AI Tools, Metaverse & Robots
