Justin Blau is one such artist that has been big on NFTs, an extension of the decentralized finance that took the crypto industry by storm this past summer.
Earlier this year, he made a splash in the space when he teamed up with visual artist Slime Sunday for a collection of audio-visual NFTs. The flagship of the collection, "21," was sold at auction for $21,000.
The collection continues to capture Ethereum users and NFT investors, as the other pieces are being bid on the secondary market for hundreds or thousands each.
I was recently lucky enough to ask Justin some questions about his involvement in NFTs, DeFi, and crypto as a whole recently.
Here's what he told me and wants you all to know about his involvement in crypto, NFTs, and DeFi.The importance of crypto to artists.
Big on NFTs. You are probably one of the largest NFT creators thus far, breaking records with your drops.
We're really excited about longer format NFTs / fully tokenized music videos and songs! There's a lot more work we have to do, but Mike and I are very dedicated to making incredible things happen in the future.
Interests in crypto beyond NFTs. Do you have any thoughts on Bitcoin?
Aside from NFT and crypto-art projects such as BlockParty and Audius, what captures your attention in crypto? Are you a yield farmer like you fellow artist RAC?
I hope you enjoyed reading his thoughts on Bitcoin, crypto, NFTs, and DeFi as much as I did.
