This week Mark tried to figure out, "what the f*ck is Crypto Art?". There are a ton of new platforms selling crypto art selling works from big names from the digital art world. And it seems like art collectors are starting to take notice. Last week Beeple sold 3 pieces for $66,666 USD each. Although people are starting to look into Crypto Art, it is still the Wild West. Buyer beware. If you'd like to join in or learn more, head on over to https://www.mondaymeeting.org

This week, we discuss the echo chamber of the industry. How can we get more artists, lesser-known artists on projects or in front of people? Why do we always hear from the same people?
