Ep 43 | NFTs, Gaming, & The Metaverse with Ari Meilich & Thor Alexander of Big Time Studios

Counterparty, a peer-to-peer finance protocol built on Bitcoin’s blockchain was developed in 2014. One of the most well-known “Bitcoin 2.0” (and later known as non-fungible token) platforms, Counterparty then added support for the Ethereum Virtual Machine, allowing all Ethereum decentralized applications to run on top of the protocol. Fast forward six years and now creators can tokenize and trade their work, these NFT’s have exploded in popularity, and are now starting to collide with the world of gaming.   In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Ari Meilich, CEO and Co-Founder at Big Time Studios, and Founder at Decentraland and also Thor Alexander, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at Big Time Studios, and VP Production at Decentraland.
