Episode Summary

In this episode you're going to find out why Magic Eden can arise to today's absolute No.1 market share in NFT Marketplace space.

Episode Notes

I was friend with Zedd (who I know by Zhuoxun) for many years - we joined the space at the same time. I think we met the first week Zedd working at dydx. It's very encouraging to see how well Magic Eden is doing today, and impressed by all the efforts, regardless whether successful or unsuccessful they are, the team had made over the past 3 years, through the thick and thin.

• A quick download of the difference amongst all kinds of NFTs in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
• The Magic Eden Wallet and the cross ecosystem pollination.
• The success in the Bitcoin ecosystem was almost a king maker for Magic Eden. What did you do as a company to further lean in that success?
