Episode description
David has been obsessed with this topic for the last couple weeks. It's time to get to the bottom of this: Are NFTs securities?
On the way down this rabbit hole, we found lawyer Brian Frye, who has some fascinating and novel takes on this very issue.
Brian is a law professor at the University of Kentucky, and recently wrote an article in Coindesk titled “NFTs Are Securities and It’s Great.”
