On this episode of Overpriced JPEGs, Carly is joined by Erick Calderon aka Snowfro, the legendary founder of Art Blocks and creator of Chromie Squiggles!
What is the Art Blocks paradox? While the rest of us weather a bear market, Art Blocks is living in a bull market world all their own. Erick explains why that is, talks about the curation process for Art Blocks, and gives his thoughts on fxhash.
As always, we hope you enjoy the conversation!
