“I call it the degen-aissance” — in conversation with Josh Wagner

For 100 years cinema has been controlled by the suits, wielding their power over what gets made, when it gets made and who profits.

He speaks with Mark Fielding about Virtue Animation, the Basemint Gang and the future of animation.

How YCombinator alum Chris Castig is reinventing Discord for the blockchain

Chris Castig has always sought to give other people a voice. An educator before becoming an entrepreneur, his first company taught people to code in 30 days.

Decentralised data storage means Google can never delete your photos

“It is the one obvious use case that billions of Internet users can be exposed to before the rest of web3.” Advocates have high hopes for decentralised file storage, which is already being used to ensure the integrity of documents from presidential handovers to NFT assets. Ekin Genç asks whether the sector is worth the hype.
