Coin Artist on Building *real* Crypto-Games
Bankless - A podcast by Bankless
Categories:
Marguerite deCourcelle, known by her persona Coin Artist, has been in the crypto space since 2014. Marguerite pushes the boundaries at the intersection of art, games, and crypto, carving out a career for herself as an artist and creator. Although her focus is certainly in crypto gaming, it might not be what you’d expect. Her endeavors have a cypherpunk feel at the protocol level, innovating creative ways for NFTs to interact in our wallets. Alongside discussions of her work at Blockade Games, we explore emergence, embedding data in the blockchain, and the untapped world of meaningful crypto gaming. ------ 📣 OPOLIS | Sign Up to Get 1000 $WORK and 1000 $BANK https://bankless.cc/Opolis ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/ ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum 🍵 MATCHA | SMART ORDER ROUTING https://bankless.cc/Matcha 🚀 SLINGSHOT | LAYER 2 SOCIAL TRADING https://bankless.cc/Slingshot 🏦 GEMINI | TURN FIAT INTO CRYPTO https://bankless.cc/Gemini 🦁 BRAVE | THE BROWSER NATIVE WALLET https://bankless.cc/Brave 🦄 UNISWAP | DECENTRALIZED FUNDING https://bankless.cc/UniGrants ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 4:30 Coin Artist 7:49 Early Days of Crypto Art 12:34 Gamifying the Blockchain 16:50 The Technology Crossover 24:33 Bombing & Bitcoin 30:43 Permadeath & High Stakes 38:05Winning Hearts and Minds 42:30 A Utopian Vision 48:00 Emergence & Complexity 53:17 Blockade Games 57:55 The Motivation for Profit 1:04:10 The Thrill of the Game 1:09:17 Fighting for Crypto’s Soul 1:13:22 New York City 1:16:33 The Crypto Social Game 1:23:47 Curation 1:27:43 Optimism & Advice ------ Resources: Marguerite on Twitter: https://twitter.com/coin_artist?s=20&t=2V5r_ik50UfcZMaCSB0HgA Blockade Games: https://blockade.games/ Neon District: https://portal.neondistrict.io/ Skyweaver: https://www.skyweaver.net/ Boys Club: https://twitter.com/BoysClubCrypto?s=20&t=2V5r_ik50UfcZMaCSB0HgA Ethereum: The Money-Game Landscape https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/ethereum-the-money-game-landscape?s=w Conway’s Game of Life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life ----- Not financial or tax advice.
