EightBit co-founder and product designer Addison Kowalski joins Kevin to discuss his project Old Sport, the first real-world speakeasy accessible only by NFT. Its genesis token, minting on July 27 at oldsport.xyz, is a membership card to a bar full of dimly lit nooks and divine libations. Membership is limited to 1,920, and each member (+3 friends) receives access to Old Sport's hidden, intimate bar slated to open in early 2023 in Los Angeles.

PROOF

Art is proof of our collective humanity.
From handprints on cave walls to pixels on screens, art forms the unbroken chain of our shared human experience. Art isn’t frivolous, it’s fundamental—the foundation to the stories we tell, cultures we create, and societies we build. But art is also at risk of being commodified.

The blockchain has the potential to usher in a digital art renaissance, but we have to decide: is it about the numbers or the people?

At PROOF, we’re focused on creating unique experiences for collectors to connect with artists and to own and champion their art. Art is more than a floor price—it’s humanity’s handprint on the world.
