WE ARE GOING TO TAKE YOU ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT APPROACH TO NFTs THAN IS AVAILABLE ONLINE RIGHT NOW. Most who are advising you right now are celebrities and influencers who already tend to tell you WHAT THEY BUY and WHY THEY BUY. As opposed to talking about HOW PROJECTS are EVALUATED and why you will evaluate certain projects in certain ways. We will also explore the functionality and utility of NFT projects. Needless to say, this conversation is going to tap into data and insights from something other than the general misinformation available right now. With this different perspective, Kristen is going to go into detail about what she looks at when evaluating NFT projects - as well as looking to the future. Exploring where there could be nuanced opportunities because we are seeing the first iteration of NFTs and that means when taking a deeper dive, we can also look at how the technology will be around for a while, but the way we use and utilize that technology will change - morph even in the next year alone. As startups or even seasoned entrepreneurs, giving ourselves an "open mind lens" when in the first stage of technology like NFTS could also surface new thoughts, ideas, and uses for ourselves. "Right now, some of your current investments might or might not be long-term holds. They might not even be applicable for what is to come in 2023-2024." Kristen Roberts We will host an interesting dialogue and ask different questions than we currently see in the everyday community having - like: *Will today's NFT truly be transferable? *What will be the future of NFTs? *How can I vet my investments/projects? *How do NFTs play into Web3?
