1 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:08.600 The bright lights and attractive displays have hit NYC. Once 2 00:00:08.600 --> 00:00:11.600 again, a non-fungible token enthusiasts have 3 00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:14.700 hit the streets of Midtown Manhattan. I'm here to learn to 4 00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:17.700 connect to understand more the space 5 00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:20.200 and I know this is the future. So I'm here 6 00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:23.100 very happy. I'm really interested in the trust and safety aspect of it 7 00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.900 and making sure that new users who are onboarding into the nfg space 8 00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:29.600 aren't don't become 9 00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.300 victims of like fraud and and scams. It's 10 00:00:32.300 --> 00:00:35.300 a really great opportunity for me to meet more artists and other 11 00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:39.200 people who are interested in Creative Endeavors within nfts. Nonfangible tokens 12 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.300 are digital assets that are recorded on 13 00:00:41.300 --> 00:00:45.000 a blockchain within the last couple of years nfts have 14 00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:47.600 taken off and are now using different industries 15 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.300 from Fashion to gaming to Art. 16 00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:53.400 It's a very natural transition and it's something that's super 17 00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:56.400 exciting and something that many many great is who are 18 00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:59.700 just learning about nfts and what three are very excited about and being 19 00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:02.400 able to help them on that journey is really rewarding. 20 00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.800 I like to be a additional Revenue stream 21 00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:08.500 him, but really it's like placing myself 22 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:12.300 my work my intentions into 23 00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:13.700 the blockchain which I 24 00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:17.700 I think could live on forever. This year 25 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.300 nfts are being recognized as a key 26 00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:23.500 component of the future world wide web otherwise known 27 00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:26.500 as web 3 for me is like giving back to the 28 00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:30.200 people the right opportunities that 29 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.600 even the way how to 30 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:35.600 engage with others and because now companies have 31 00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:38.300 all the power but now we have trees and opportunity for 32 00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:41.600 normal people like me to just have 33 00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:44.500 a voice in space commonly. It's 34 00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:47.600 intertwined with the use of the blockchain so 35 00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:50.700 that we can have that sort of decentralized ownership use 36 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:54.400 our own content. I think that it's really Limitless. I'm 37 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.400 really excited about the way that web 3 38 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.700 is empowering creators and giving people more ownership over 39 00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:02.400 the internet in general their finances, you know, 40 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.100 just internet of things and digital objects. I think 41 00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:09.600 there are a lot of opportunities and it's really only what 42 00:02:08.600 --> 00:02:11.300 we can imagine we can create it 43 00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:14.900 if we if we just put in the work as nfts continue 44 00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.300 to evolve event goers say they'll continue to 45 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:20.200 invest their time in nfts and have advice for 46 00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:23.900 those interested in joining. This community being open-minded is 47 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:26.700 really important asking questions not being 48 00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:27.300 afraid to 49 00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.200 Questions to somebody who may be an influencer or 50 00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:33.300 maybe a thought leader in the space, you know, I think people are very 51 00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:36.100 open and welcoming and a really great way 52 00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:39.500 to just learn more is to to connect with these people and to talk 53 00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:42.500 to them and build relationships. It's not just about the picture. 54 00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:45.900 It's about the technology how you can just have 55 00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:49.300 ownership into the digital world at nftnyc 56 00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:50.600 Johnny Fernandez.
