And Instagram launches a test NFT program. Good move?

Quotes:
Joe: “Disney has all of the advantages in the world because of their diversified revenue and profit streams…They’re going to drop their 33B in investment in their content for their streaming networks. That will go down further, I believe…They will all go down across the board because there’s no way these companies can keep investing that type of money into it because they aren’t going to get it out. There’s too much competition right now.” (21:44)
Robert: “You can set up a wider net to catch all of that revenue because the brand and trust increases. The perceived growth in advertising, and better subscriptions. It’s all a thing that works together.” (26:23)
Joe: “NFTs are fine. You’re seeing all risk assets down right now. It’s a riskier asset. That’s it.” (40:23)
Robert: “Looking at trading volume as a method of success of a tradable asset is ridiculous. That’s like saying the trading volume is down on Wall Street so the stock market is going down.” (42:46)
Robert: “ [On Instagram NFT test] I think this might be an interesting foray,... if brands start to build in some of that access. If I’m a brand, can I make an NFT that provides a subscription to a newsletter? Or attendance to a brand?” (52:53)
