Quotes:
Joe: “This was not a move where the Disney+ team came together and said how can we create a better experience for our customers. This was the accounting and financial folks looked and said how are we going to get to this number.” (17:32)
Robert: “It provides people with an exit door. You’re saying we’re going to degrade the service and make it cheaper. It’s not something that Disney usually does.” (20:50)
Joe: “Most people know about it. 10%-20% of people in the United States own some kind of crypto currency right now. That’s growing at a phenomenal rate, as fast as mobile phones grew. There’s no reason that it’s going to stop.” (35:09)
Robert: “This is the way [using NFTs] to turn your marketing content into collateral assets.” (37:08)
Joe: “Netflix knows they’re building these brands right now and one revenue stream from their content is their subscription.” (40:28)
Robert: “In the same way that they’ve become a development shop for television shows, they can become the same developer for streaming games. It doesn’t have to be their intellectual property. They can continue to make games for AMC or others that don’t have games and become a distribution partner.” (41:08)
