On this week’s show, crypto is a bit of a mixed bag: Solana is the 'Mac OS of Blockchains,' Justin Sun doubles down on Ethereum, Upland is preparing to transition to Sparklet, another Upland sales event sells out at stupid-AM Australian time, Olympics in the Metaverse, more Meta layoffs, Apple and Meta hold AI talks, AI is transforming Disney, Spotify, and TikTok, Konami and Coca-Cola take a punt on NFTs, Web3 gaming can’t be stopped, and Pixels releases Chapter 2 updates. Plus, as always, we ground ourselves with some real-world insights with a few doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Metaverse Ventures Australia (MVA) Discord: 🌏https://discord.gg/Vvz3f96yC9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------⚠️WARNING!⚠️This podcast is produced by Metaverse Ventures Entertainment and contains unsolicited and heavily biased opinions which are solely the views of the individuals involved.
