Quotes:
Joe: “I get scared for anyone creating an audience on these [social media] platforms because at a moment notice it can all be over.”(19:42)
Robert: “What I really question is how skilled these companies are. They’re defaulting to this decision of taking action first and see what happens.” (22:45)
Joe: “We’ve covered almost all of these social platforms that are spending millions of dollars on creator recruitment and helping these creators build an audience. So they’re spending millions in that area but they’re not spending anything on operations issues.” (26:04)
Joe: “Owning digital property is starting to go mainstream; mainstream meaning a percentage of the population. Whether you’re a shoe dog, or a sneakerhead it’s big business right now.” (34:45)
Joe: “I don’t think you have to be a Dow maximalist. I think you can have shades and we can all be successful.” (39:51)
Robert: “The way I’ve been explaining NFTs lately; it’s a verb, not a noun. It’s what you do. You agree to something. And, the only question is what do you agree to.”(1:01:25)
