Proof Roundtable: Financialization of Culture, #Block-Talk, and Unboxing a Damien Hirst Physical

Priyanka Desai, Derek Edward Schloss, and Kevin Rose gather around to discuss the wild times at NFT.NYC, futureproofing NFT art, CryptoPunks making history (again), second-tier collections seemingly destined for greatness, the enduring value of NFTs that live past their utility, how Damien Hirst is bridging physical and digital art, the PFP space as Kardashians, and much more.
