Marcus Bläsche | The Sandbox & Rumblekongz

Marcus Bläsche is the Director of Marketing for the Sandbox—the platform for user-generated worlds—which recently opened its doors for a limited Alpha event. Marcus dives into what the Sandbox ecosystem is, as well as its rich history and community. The Sandbox is a community-driven metaverse where players can build, play, and exchange monetized voxel assets. With Facebook's Meta announcement, the Metaverse has never been hotter. The Sandbox is primed for this moment, launching just as the worlds of gaming, culture, and NFTs begin to collide. Marcus is also the Co-Founder of the NFT play-to-earn game Rumble Kong Lead, which is a competitive basketball experience coupled with a 10k PFP project. Marcus has incredible insights about the gaming community and the world of experiences, and brings hot takes about the digital future. Also, he talks to Snoop Dogg on a weekly basis. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323  SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO https://bankless.cc/Zerion  💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK https://bankless.cc/OnJuno  🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX https://bankless.cc/MVI  🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP https://bankless.cc/blockblock  ------ Topics Covered: 00:00 Intro 3:15 Marcus Bläsche 7:07 Gamers and NFTs 13:12 The Sandbox 17:34 Earning a Living 24:08 Sandbox Alpha 30:20 How's it Going? 36:53 A Vision of the Metaverse 42:11 Decentralization 48:00 Space and Time 55:45 NFTs Going Mainstream 1:01:02 Facebook Meta 1:04:12 RumbleKongz 1:13:45 Closing ------ Resources: Marcus on Twitter https://twitter.com/direkkt?s=20  The Sandbox https://twitter.com/TheSandboxGame?s=20  Rumble Kong League https://twitter.com/RumbleKongs?s=20  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
