We welcome Jamie for a return interview, a little over one year later since we last had him on! In this episode we discuss:
- Big lessons and takeaways for Jamie & Verse coming out of the 2023 bear market
- Consolidation of artists towards curated platforms & competing for releases
- Verse as a conduit for the gallery art world to access web3 and what exciting release they have coming soon as a test case
- Managing web3 communities as an artist and the need to be connected & authentic
- Verse becoming more web3 oriented with recent announcements
- The role of the market in onboarding new collectors & how new artists can break through without using open platforms
- Verse collecting & supporting artists that release with them
- Solana & the potential for Verse to add other chains moving forward
- Reacting to the recent announcement from Art Blocks & cross-platform collaborations
- The goal of a potential Verse community token
