Listen "Ep20 Western Beef"
Episode Synopsis
The Net Society crew (minus Derek) dives into the evolving world of on-chain art, using Botto as a case study for how AI and decentralization are reshaping creativity. They break down the biggest takeaways from ETH Denver, from groundbreaking Web3 innovations to the shifting dynamics of the ecosystem. The conversation then turns to NFT loans, debating whether leveraging digital collectibles as collateral is the next step in crypto finance or a dangerous gamble. Security concerns take center stage with the Bybit hack, as they analyze its fallout and what it reveals about the broader landscape of exchange vulnerabilities. AI’s rapid development sparks a discussion on whether artificial intelligence is beginning to exhibit personality—and what that could mean for human interaction and trust. Finally, they wrap up with a market sentiment check, assessing crypto’s current trajectory and the forces shaping its next move.Mentioned in the episodeBotto auction for “The Giraffe” https://x.com/krybharat/status/1895190523172004253Sgt_slaughtermelon https://x.com/sgt_sl8termelonBerachain https://x.com/berachainBybit hack https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/23/crypto-exchange-seeks-bybit-ethereum-stolen-digital-walletShow & HostsNet Society: https://x.com/net__societyDerek Edwards: https://x.com/derekedwsChris F: https://x.com/ChrisF_0xPriyanka Desai: https://x.com/pridesaiAaron Wright: https://x.com/awrigh01Production & MarketingEditor: https://x.com/0xFnklSocial: https://x.com/v_kirra(00:00) - The Future of On-Chain Art with Botto
