Join Matthew Kuehlhorn on the Kooler Lifestyle Podcast as he sits down in person with Chris Pederson, founder of the blockchain-based Order of the Egonauts NFTs. Starting in 2022 Chris elaborates on his journey through the crypto space and found that the successful NFTs are focused on building a community rather than a flipped investment, and that is what he and his team of artists are trying to create. Matt and Chris relate the world of crypto and NFTs to the start of the internet, a very little amount of people understood it and never thought it would blow up to be what it is today. They also discuss the common misconceptions and bad actors frequently flooding the NFT space as well as attempts to make blockchains easier to understand for the casual listener.
