In Episode 27 of Fort Brox, we are discussing today’s tech news we find interesting. After a brief catch up with each other, we start our podcast talking about the ETH ETF launch, our thoughts mixed with opinions on ETFs for crypto in general. We get into the accessibility of crypto now and potential risks facing the industry today. Hidden Pixels - a brief preview of what’s in store, before a segue into AI and the need for accountability in the industry, as well as our thoughts on AI as it co-mingles with everyday society.

This is all before we get into the meat of today’s episode, as we are talking about EV’s, but more specifically, EB’s. Electric Bikes have become our preferred modes of transportation, and Neil’s daily driver. We discuss the difficulties the industry faces from our own personal perspective, having had real world experiences, both good and bad.

We are excited to share what we find value in, so you can share it with others!

What do you think of when you hear "DMV"?

If you are like most people, the idea that the California DMV was open and actually acted on testing a car title system on a blockchain, it would seem a huge surprise.

Well, Tezos is doing just that with the DMV.

Why do you need to wait for a bank to open on the weekends to do business? Close a deal?

Why wait after 6pm to get your banking done?

Why can you not settle transactions faster. Avoid chargebacks, and stop paying fee's for simply using money?

We believe Nano offers a solution, but their value proposition is so simple it may be the reason why mass adoption is taking time.

We can appreciate how much of a challenge learning new subjects can be. In the case of learning about crypto, the task can be daunting.

For this podcast episode we share the places we have gone to learn about the technology and fine print associated with cryptocurrency.

By no means is this an "end-all be-all" of crypto learning information. But a starting point...who knows, we may be working on something more. To help put learning about crypto into layman's terms.

We talk about Flux $FLUX.

In full disclosure we started mining Flux and wanted to do more due diligence on it and share it with you while we are learning more about the technology + coin.

We take a look at the PROs and CONs, and think "blue sky" about the potential the tech has.

from runonflux.io

A comprehensive suite of decentralized computing services and blockchain-as-a-service solutions. The Flux ecosystem consists of: Fluxnodes' decentralized infrastructure, FluxOS cloud operating system, Zelcore self-custody multi-asset wallet and blockchain app suite, and finally the Flux blockchain for on-chain governance, economics, and parallel assets to provide interoperability with other blockchains and DeFi access.

Flux provides the critical, high availability infrastructure for the New Internet. Projects and development teams are not forced to rely on the Flux blockchain to utilize FluxOS, so they have access to necessary infrastructure while maintaining all the unique properties of their own chains. Flux makes up one important piece of a well-balanced distributed computing portfolio focused on the next generation of the Internet.

*Please DM or message us through any of our portals to suggest more info or as questions about Flux that we can help to find an answer for.

We sit down to talk about Ethereum $ETH.

In full disclosure, we mine Ravencoin as one of the coins we offer at Fort Brox. But convert it to $XNO so keep gas fee's down 😉

We take a look at the PROs and CONs, what is possible, the journey to ETH 2.0 release and so much more.

from ethereum.org

Ethereum is the community-run technology powering the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of decentralized applications.

Ethereum is open access to digital money and data-friendly services for everyone – no matter your background or location. It's a community-built technology behind the cryptocurrency ether (ETH) and thousands of applications you can use today.

Ethereum 101

Ethereum is a technology that lets you send cryptocurrency to anyone for a small fee. It also powers applications that everyone can use and no one can take down.

It's the world's programmable blockchain.

Ethereum builds on Bitcoin's innovation, with some big differences.

Both let you use digital money without payment providers or banks. But Ethereum is programmable, so you can also use it for lots of different digital assets – even Bitcoin!

This also means Ethereum is for more than payments. It's a marketplace of financial services, games and apps that can't steal your data or censor you.

*Please DM or message us through any of our portals to suggest more info or as questions about Ethereum that we can help to find an answer for.

We had the great pleasure of speaking with Angie Jones. Angie shares her amazing story of being an accomplished professional animator in a male dominated industry, while growing as an Artist. Angie's first foray into NFTs with Saatchi Art resulted in being a part of a sold out NFT drop. Angie is awesome!

Just have a look at her bio below.

Angie Jones Bio

Angie Jones is an American artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Her work addresses the influence of technology on our shared brain circuitry. Angie spent two decades working in visual effects and animation for motion pictures and uses painting, video, and sculpture to study how technology invades our lives. She deconstructs the work using faceted surfaces (like low polygon video game art) to create something new from something old and make it new again. In the end, she maintains one foot in the past and another in the future and calls into question how we perceive art and images by tracing a loop historically through representation, technology, and science.

Angie uses technical, digital, and traditional methods incorporating conceptual practice. She holds 25+ years of experience in Visual Effects and Animation, working as an Animation Supervisor and Animator for studios such as Sony Pictures Imageworks, Cinesite, Disney, and feature franchises like Stuart Little, Xmen, Pan's Labyrinth & The Smurfs. Before this, she dedicated her time working in Video Games like Red Dead Redemption, Oddworld Abe's Exoddus, and Dino Crises. Her experiences working in Visual Effects, Video Games, and Animation inspires the "peak shift" palette, faceted surface, and idiosyncratic portrayal of personality through paint, video, animation, and sculpture.

In 2021, inspired by Beeple, the artist, and the increased visibility of Bitcoin and NFTS, Angie explored new spaces for artists through blockchain. Saatchi Art curators encouraged Angie to participate in her first NFT drop with the "The Other Avatars" project. "The Other Avatars" is a collection of 2,523 individual works of art created by 154 artists. Each artist made at least 10 unique avatars and a maximum of 20 for the project. The collection of avatars sold out in less than 20 minutes! Angie tokenized her small edition of 15 avatars on the Ethereum blockchain @OpenSea in June 2022s.

Angie is currently working on a new drop for Spring 2022, consisting of "one of one" masterworks and new PFP collections, all conceived from entire lore, world, and metaverse.
