#1 Owen Barnes, an overview of non-fungible tokens and what the future holds

Today we’ve got Owen Barnes joining us. Owen has been involved in the crypto space since 2012 and is a full stack developer, speaker and independent advisor to blockchain startups. We have a fascinating conversation covering the state of crypto today and the outlook for the future. We cover where non-fungible tokens fit in and why they’re so interesting. We also cover decentralisation, signalling, scarcity, non-transferable tokens and much more. Then we layout the guidelines for our very first Gerbil giveaway, so if you want your own NonFunGerbil, stay tuned at the end and get involved. NonFunGerbils The NonFunGerbils are digitally scarce gerbils represented by non-fungible NonFunGerbil tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. They are given away on the NonFunGerbils podcast. Heres how it works: The name of the next gerbil is given at the end of each podcast Descriptions for the gerbil are submitted by the listeners via Twitter The funniest / most entertaining entry becomes the official description for the gerbil. The token will have the winning entry written within the token Our brilliant illustrator will then create beautiful artwork to match the winning description All of the top descriptions, as decided by the podcast hosts, get sent one of the rare NonFunGerbil tokens. The scarcity of each set of NonFunGerbil tokens depends on how many entertaining entries are submitted The NonFunGerbils Podcast The NonFunGerbils Podcast explores the world of non-fungible assets and the growing decentralised economy Each week Luke & George host an interesting guest who is involved in the space Different NFT (non-fungible token) projects are explored during ‘Show & Tell’ The funniest descriptions submitted for the previous Gerbil are read out and the winner announced The next NonFunGerbil’s name is revealed along with any specific guidelines Find us at: http://nonfungerbils.com http://twitter.com/nonfungerbils
