[Special Interview] Matty from DCLBlogger

Last week /Rizzle and I had the chance to record an episode of You Deserve a Drin¢ with Matty from DCLblogger. I like to think of Matty as the unofficial mayor of the blockchain-based virtual world known as Decentraland (DCL) since he mainly lives and breathes DCL. We discuss Matty's relationship to DCL primarily as an investor in digital land and talk about how his role has expanded to include significant community initiatives organizing in-world conferences and games like the latest Moonshot World Cup Tournament. As I said, Matty is first and foremost an investor, so we dig into his philosophy behind investing and discuss some of the negotiating tactics that he employs in his buying and selling dealings. Other topics touched on include the impact of whales on the NFT space, how the space can get to 100k users let alone 1 million users, the difficulty of explaining the NFT and blockchain-based VR worlds to "normal people." We wrap up trying to get open Matty's NFT wallet to see what's in his collection. It was a pleasure to speak with Matty, and y'all should be on the lookout for more collaborations between the WIP and Matty heading forward, especially for folks who live in or nearby to Asia-Pacific timezones.
