Overpriced JPEGs is a show about NFTs and the Metaverse!
Most people think they’re bad art and everyone else can’t stop talking, thinking, and buying them. They’re non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and they’re taking over your Twitter feed.
The blockchain space is moving too fast to keep track of everything that’s happening. Join Carly Reilly, Andrew Yang’s former finance director, for the Overpriced JPEGs podcast from the Bankless network. This is the best way to get the latest NFT and metaverse news and interviews with the people shaping our future, so you can decide for yourself if these are just overpriced JPEGs or technology that will change the world.
Talking Artificial Intelligence w/ AI for Humans hosts Gavin Purcell + Kevin Perreira
Welcome to a CPR Show special! This is a conversation I had on the AI for Humans podcast hosted by Gavin Purcell and Kevin Pereira - two amazing AI enthusiasts and very entertaining guys.

And if you want more of Gavin and Kevin, you can find AI for Humans wherever you get your podcasts or on YouTube using this link! https://www.youtube.com/@AIForHumansShow And THANK YOU for sticking around during the OPJ --> CPR Show transition.

It’s Crazy to let Sullivan & Cromwell Oversee the FTX Bankruptcy
The FTX bankruptcy is shaping up to be one of the most expensive of all time.

A Tale of Two Twitters - Elon's A Genius / Elon's a Moron
If you follow the news about X, you know there is a group of people who think that Twitter/X is dead or dying or about to implode. While another group of people is so deeply in love with Elon Musk, that the platform COULD implode and they would still defend it and him. Today on the show, we're talking about the one year anniversary of Elon Musk buying Twitter, the recent reports that many advertisers are leaving the platform, and trying to sort through the noise to understand how the platform is really faring and call out both sides' BS. @carlypreilly on Twitter #elonmusk #twitter #x #twitternews #nytimes #technews #mainstreammedia OPJ Gin Bottle Redemption: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/gin OPJ NFT Link: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/buy-opj-nft WEB3SENSE | DEMO Find out more + get a demo today: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/web3sense 🔐 LEDGER | SHOP NOW: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/ledger OPENSEA | STUDIO Check out the latest drops in OpenSea: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/OpenSea ✨ SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERPRICED JPEGS CHANNEL✨ https://bankless.cc/jpegs 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO THE OPJ NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: https://availableon.com/overpricedjpegs

SBF’s Failed Efforts to Recruit Political Candidates + Pay Them Millions
On today's episode we're talking about the ~political~ work the Bankman-Fried's were engaged in until everything came crumbling down in November 2022. What I've heard is that, disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm for effective altruism from existing political candidates, the Bankman-Fried's (and their team) endeavored to recruit effective altruists into being political candidates. But things... didn't really go as planned? $100 million later, there isn't all that much to show for it.

This man, apparently, does not recall a single moment of his life between 2021 and 2023.

The Line Between Mental Health and Madness | Overpriced JPEGs Bonus Episode
This is a very different kind of episode of OPJ. A couple months ago, I (Carly) became so riveted by a story I read in the Atlantic, that I reached out to the author for a conversation for the podcast. Though he still isn’t entirely sure what an NFT is, I’m incredibly grateful to Jonathan Rosen for agreeing to come on OPJ to talk more about an incredibly important and difficult issue. Though it’s different from my usual content, I think y’all will really enjoy this episode. Would love to know what you think in the comments. xo carly GET JONATHAN’S BOOK HERE: The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions https://a.co/d/6X6Tdkz OPJ NFT Link: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/buy-opj-nft ✨ SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERPRICED JPEGS CHANNEL ✨ https://bankless.cc/jpegs ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO THE OPJ NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: https://availableon.com/overpricedjpegs ------- Timestamps: 0:00 Intro / Announcements 5:53 The Beginning: Meeting Michael 8:21 When the Schizophrenia Started 09:48 Michael's Return to New Rochelle 11:40 The Advent of State Asylums 14:39 Taking a Turn For the Worst 18:47 How Michael Continued to Persuade 20:17 The Only Symptom That Mattered 21:46 Surviving Schizophrenia at Yale Law 23:00 The Tragedy of Good Intentions 24:28 Remaining Rational During Delusion 26:46 The Challenge of Destigmatization 28:58 How to Distinguish Mental Health 30:15 The Nuances of Hospitalization 32:17 Mayor Adams' Unhoused Program 34:39 Society's Obsession With Intelligence 36:33 The Beginning to the End 40:45 Could Something Have Been Done? 44:12 The Mercy of Diagnoses 45:07 Carrie's Love 47:52 The Trial / Aftermath 49:37 Where is Michael Today? 50:23 A Call to Reality ------ Not financial or tax advice.

OPJ NFT holders can begin reserving their seat on Thursday, March 16, 2023. One OPJ NFT gives you the opportunity to reserve one seat for each of our 6 live events. We are airdropping you a new NFT that will (effectively) replace your old NFT. This is how that is going to work: Tuesday (March 14th) we are going to take a snapshot of all our NFT holders Wednesday (March 15th) all holders will be airdropped a new NFT that looks just like the original with new functionality and metadata. The original NFT will be changed so that it clearly is not the current NFT. Thursday (March 16th) you will be able to start reserving seats for the Miami event using your new NFT. This new NFT will be used for everything. The old NFT will be commemorative with no utility, though the visuals will change to something fun. ------ Not financial or tax advice.

Overpriced Jin, OPJ NFTs, + Liquid Collections Deep Dive with Kit Codik l Overpriced JPEGs #73
TL;DR: What Do You Need To Know About the OPJ NFT?! The mint will close 1/27/23 If you’re ever wondering “huh, what’s the latest announcement or piece of news about OPJ NFTs?” -- we’ve set up the @OPJupdates account to be solely dedicated to having the latest, up-to-date info about all things related to the OPJ NFT The Overpriced Happy Hour Tour: OPJ NFT holders will be airdropped tokens that they can exchange for tickets to live OPJ events These events are taking place around the country and will consist of fireside chats with some of the biggest names in the space (interviewed by me, Carly, of course!), followed by mingling, networking, maybe some dancing, and, of course, cocktails. The conversations will be recorded for the podcast. The kick-off event for the tour will be in Miami with a special guest to be announced some time next week and more locations + guests to follow My hope is that some of you get to meet your NFT heroes in person in a more intimate setting on this tour. OPJ Virtual Event Series: For those of you outside the United States or who can’t make it with us in person… We will be hosting live, token-gated conversations with amazing guests throughout the year thru @inpeakxyz These will be podcast recordings like any others (posted on the RSS feed and YouTube), with one difference: we will have a live audience that can ask questions during the feed and even join us on stage (virtually, of course) at the end of the event. Our first Virtual Event happened Wednesday January 18th when 100 of you joined Raoul Pal + me for an awesome convo that will go live on the pod January 25th Our next event will be Thursday January 26th at 11am ET when I will be joined by Tareq Nalwazy, former Adidas’ Digital Director and current President of ScienceMagic.Studios. For instructions on how to join for all future events, read this: https://twitter.com/carlypreilly/status/1615153201157922816?s=20&t=3xsrHqHFFr2jKv9z37r09w Overpriced Jin The gin is good sh*t!!! Normally a teeny tiny brand like Overpriced, who is producing fewer than 1,000 bottles of this first collectors batch, would never get access to liquid that is this premium. Huge shout-out to Kit Codik and LQDC for making it happen for us. This is all due to their connections. Perk Shop Okay so we didn’t actually promise you anything other than Gin + Events and we’re not promising anything specific here either but.. Liquid Collections will be launching a Perk Shop (in tandem with their own NFT) thru which OPJ holders might find themselves eligible for additional fun surprises like the free 6-pack of Q tonic every holder is already guaranteed to get with their bottle of gin… So that’s that. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being on this weird, wild, and overpriced journey with us. It’s only the beginning. And I can’t wait to meet many of you out on the trail!! -------- Resources: OPJ NFT Minting Link: https://liquidcollections.com/collections/opj OPJ NFT Update Account on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OPJupdates Overpriced JPEGs Twitter: https://twitter.com/overpricedjpegs Liquid Collections Twitter: https://twitter.com/LiquidCol Kit’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/kitcodik Carly’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/carlypreilly -------- Sponsors 🔐 LEDGER | STAX Pre-order your Ledger Stax here: https://overpricedjpegs.cc/ledgerstax I’ve always been a fan of Ledger, but as they are currently the sole sponsor of Overpriced JPEGs… I REALLY love them!

✨ SUBSCRIBE TO THE OVERPRICED JPEGS CHANNEL ✨ https://bankless.cc/jpegs It’s the 420 episode y’all! This week, Carly talks to Duncan and Griffin Cock Foster, co-founders of Nifty Gateway – one of the first ever NFT marketplaces. The three delve into the evolution of NFTs, the twins’ predictions for where NFTs are headed, and Nifty’s newly launched, non-custodial NFT marketplace which will have 70% lower gas fees than their competitors. We also get a little technical in this one: breaking down how that gas optimization works and what it could mean for other marketplaces and the future of interchain operability for NFTs. Plus, we had to ask the twins what it was really like growing up with the last name Cock Foster 😂😂.

URGENT: How Web3 Can Help Ukraine with Pussy Riot & UkraineDAO
We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this 20-minute conversation with Nadya from Pussy Riot and Trippy of Trippy Labs about UkraineDAO - an NFT/crypto fundraising effort to provide medical care for people in Ukraine impacted by the war. If you don’t know Nadya, she is a founding member of the Russian, feminist, punk group Pussy Riot and previously spent two years in a Russian prison for protesting Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime.

Decentralizing Hollywood with DeadHeads Co-Founders | Overpriced JPEGs #11
Jeremy Jenson (@JeremyJenson_) & teMpo (@_teMpoFU) are the Co-Founders of DeadHeads, a multimedia NFT project that’s disrupting Hollywood. How? You might be wondering. One of the many ways is via the technical innovation behind their animated series that allows for distributed IP! Imagine minting The Simpson’s couch on episode one and holding that digital prop for all these years. Might resell for a pretty penny nowadays!

Jon Rogers (https://twitter.com/VanFalk_) was the founding executive of Disney’s Franchise Management division in 2005.

As with everyone and their mother, Hollywood is trying to figure out the world of NFTs as fast as humanly possible too. After more than 20 years in Franchise Management & IP, Jon’s taken his previous learnings and expertise to the current (and fast-evolving) crypto and NFT space. Today he shares many of the lessons and foundational ideas he has around brand building and the future of the industry at large.

GET has had such a fascinating journey and if it weren’t for the current global pandemic, things would be even more intriguing than they already are.

The Future of Trading Card NFTs | Overpriced JPEGs with Franklin Fitch
Franklin Fitch (@Fitchinverse) is the Director of Growth/Marketing for Parallel—one of the highest touted digital trading card games (TCGs) in crypto. Franklin gives a 101 breakdown of Parallel’s sci-fi backstory, lore, community, roadmap, and so much more. Parallel is redefining TCGs from the ground up and rewriting traditional “NFT Project” playbooks one page at a time. With over 30,000 active holders, 35,000 discord members, and 73,000 Twitter followers, Franklin and the Parallel community believe this is just the beginning. Legacy trading card games such as Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, and Hearthstone have largely ignored crypto. However, Franklin gives credit where credit is due as he recognizes that these games built the foundation for Parallel—and even inspired the Parallel we know and love today. Franklin has been in and around the crypto space for years, and you can hear the experience in his voice. Parallel’s vision for the future is equally as inspiring as the team helping to build it into reality. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974 ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO https://bankless.cc/Zerion 💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK https://bankless.cc/OnJuno 🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX https://bankless.cc/MVI 🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP https://bankless.cc/blockblock ------ Topics Covered: *(0:00) - Intro *(4:32) - Frank’s background *(11:40) - Why crypto clicked *(16:15) - Parallel explained *(19:43) - Why Frank was interested in Parallel *(20:47) - NFT pack dynamics *(27:15) - Parallel’s team *(31:10) - AR/VR roadmap *(32:55) - Parallel game specifics *(38:26) - The rarity of Parallel cards *(44:57) - Regulatory discussion *(49:32) - Parallel’s growth/marketing evolution *(55:09) - Are we still early? *(58:39) - Comparing other games *(1:01:52) - Parallel’s podcast *(1:05:30) - Magic the Gathering’s inspiration *(1:11:00) - Best next steps *(1:15:16) - Nerves around the hype *(1:16:57) - Future IP *(1:18:14) - Wen Parallel game?! *(1:20:58) - How NFTs go mainstream *(1:28:19) - Bullish or bearish ------ Resources: Parallel’s podcast https://twitter.com/parallelnftpod Franklin’s Twitter https://twitter.com/Fitchinverse Parallel’s site https://parallel.life/ Franklin’s explainer blog post on Parallel https://medium.com/@Fitchinverse/why-parallel-1f939f5aa714 ----- Not financial or tax advice.

We cover the power of community, dive into tokenomics, and explore how breaking into NFTs actually works.

3 - Mack Flavelle | The Pink Cat Villain
Mack Flavelle is the Co-Founder of CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs, and Big Head Club. CryptoKitties was instrumental in establishing the ERC-721 standard, which is the base for the vast majority of NFTs. Mack helped launch NBA Top Shot and StonerCats, and that just begins to cover his impact in the space. Needless to say, Mack has had a prolific career and pioneered many innovations for NFTs. His creativity and boundless energy powers this conversation about the history of culture on the blockchain, and a discussion of his more recent and upcoming projects leads to bold predictions about the future. Mack is a fascinating character, and we wouldn't expect anything less from one of the founding fathers of the NFT movement. ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://jpegs.banklesshq.com/ 🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overpriced-jpegs/id1591954323 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5G2HSDneVg8mZUQ3zUIoLX?si=6d57ee1f89184974 ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 👀 ZERION | YOUR NFT PORTFOLIO https://bankless.cc/Zerion 💸 ONJUNO | YOUR CRYPTO PAYCHECK https://bankless.cc/OnJuno 🌊 INDEX COOP | METAVERSE INDEX https://bankless.cc/MVI 🦄 BLOCK::BLOCK | METAVERSE IP https://bankless.cc/blockblock ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 3:30 Mack Flavelle and Cats 10:12 CryptoKitties and ERC 721 13:56 Inflection Points 19:14 Pink Cat Villain 22:59 Innovations & Explosions 28:01 The Price of Kitties 36:10 New Major IP 42:30 Ronin & Death Poems 50:59 Big Head Club 56:32 Lessons from StonerCats 1:01:54 Ghostbusters Etc 1:04:05 The Big Questions 1:11:27 Closing ------ Resources: Big Head Club https://www.bighead.club/ Japanese Death Poems https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Death-Poems-Written-Monks/dp/0804831793 ----- Not financial or tax advice.
