Quotes: 

Robert: “ We both need to be able to hold the option that there is a ton of damage being done as the disrupted technology provides new opportunities for us. None of us know what those things are yet.” (15:00).

Joe: We don’t know where this is going. There’s a long way to go. There’s something here and it’s worth experimenting with.” (19:55).

Robert: “What the technology enables is factional membership or fractional ownership in things that are created by people. That removes some of the limitations or friction on creating an infrastructure to support that.”(21:36).

Robert: “Call it elitism, call it whatever it is. We have done it forever. It’s just social signaling that you have money. That will always exist.” (33:32).

Joe: "First of all, NFTs will be everywhere the next five years, and you’re not going to call them NFTs. All your tickets are going to be NFTs. Some of your insurance contracts will be NFTs. They are agreements that will be executed on the blockchain. These are what NFTs are.” (34:00).

Joe: “You’re going to see one of these digital games that you going to be able to buy a skin or something and move that outside of the game.”(51:54).

Joe: “It’s hard to have a discussion about it if you don’t have a digital wallet.”(56:45).
