Summary

Episode 310 breaks down why AI brainrot content is becoming a real market signal, why Google’s quantum warning should be taken seriously by every crypto builder, and what the Taproot Wizards collapse says about narrative-driven fundraising before execution.

The episode also ties those lessons back to NAT.fun, cultural discovery, and better market-based launch mechanics.

Summary

We get the crew back together to discuss developments with our Game Jam submission for the competition in Decentraland. One of our important discussion points is the difficulty of deploying custom creations onto a plot of land. Typically, a land owner would need to receive the source code for the custom creation, then using a command prompt and scene code to deploy the creation. The whole process is not user friendly and discouraging to people who want to contribute. That is why we created the http://MetaZone.io app. This helps anyone who wants to deploy any custom creation quickly and easily without the help of developers. Anyone can sell their creations right through the app as well, bringing the first decentraland app store. With about a week left of the Game Jam which ends September 30, 2019, we discuss our final touches to our submissions.

Summary

The Game Jam for Decentraland is in a matter of days and for 14 days developers across the globe will compete to create the most interesting and interactive creations to deploy within Decentraland. As we go through the private beta for Decentraland, we discuss our own game and our future plans for the game and how we’ll allow other land owners to deploy our games to make passive income. We discuss Andrew Yang’s policies for the United States Presidential candidate and he is getting censored by mainstream media. Bitcoin’s forming an interesting pattern that appears similar to the consolidation pattern just like 2015. Finally, Akon is spreading the good word of Bitcoin, which is not the easiest thing to explain to people.

Summary

We were recommended to have Daniel Garcia join the show to discuss how cryptocurrencies have affected 3d design and virtual worlds. Daniel is the creator of PolygonalMind.com and has a huge passion for design and gaming. We dive into detail into the world of Decentraland and we touch his team’s creation of a virtual escape room. The nostalgic game of World of Warcraft Classic recently launched and we get into its addictive affects. Its not all bad though, gaming was responsible for teaching children new languages to financial responsibility. We migrate our discussion to Neuralink and how the threat of a hack is heightened because a brain interface would be the ultimate form of privacy invasion. Finally, we get an outsider’s perspective of the U.S.’s mass shooting epidemic.

Next we get into the difference between Andrew Yang and all previous candidates and how this candidate encourages a higher voter turnout.
