The Matthew and Rizzle ShowPreserving & Re-telling History on the BlockchainOn this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle take it back to the summer of 2020 when the late great Alotta Money became the very first sponsor of the WIP. Rizzle talked about the footage Paradoxx captured live during that WIP and the response it elicited when Rizzle re-shared on Twitter a few days ago.
That led to a deeper reflection on how everyone who has been minting, collecting, and building on the blockchain up until this point can better preserve and re-tell all of those tokenized stories that exist across the crypto space.
Towards that...

2023-06-151h 17The Matthew and Rizzle ShowDid you know you can send ETH to anyone with an ETH address?!?The crypto space feels like it regressed 5 years; but it only *feels* like that. We're actually in a much better place. It's just unfortunate the actions of a few despicable degens overshadows all the growth and development the space has made, especially in contrast with where we were during the last bear circa 2018~2020.
I've said it and will continue to do so: folks need to make sure they disconnect from their URL lives and experience all the great things that IRL has to offer, especially as we head into summer time.
