Here is my full interview with @realDonaldTrump from Monday, September 16th at Mar-a-Lago.

It was incredible to be able to speak about our industry and how Donald Trump plans on making America the "Crypto Capital of the world”.

[Farokh @farokh]

I waited 4 years to interview @matthall2000, co-founder of @LarvaLabs (creators of the Cryptopunks, Autoglyphs and Meebits) and of course it happens during Art Basel after a few tequilas.

Loved the energy, what really stood out to me is the relationship between Matt and @NaughtalieStone, which shows you the synergy with Yuga Labs.

As someone who entered the industry via NFTs and whose goal was to own a CryptoPunk, this interview was an honour and I'm very grateful for it.

Hot take: Yuga is doing a good job with the Punks, but I will let you watch and get a feel for yourself.

18:18 - Do you consider yourself an artist?
