EP 15 Pt 1: VC Meme King @prayingforexits Comes on to Discuss a Host of Topics, Then a Group of Apes Talk BAYC
In an episode so big we had to split it up into 2 parts AND add bonus YouTube videos, it’d be disingenuous to call this anything less than epic. In Part 1, Logan is joined by the creator of the @prayingforexits VC meme page, in an interview where he maintained his anonymity even from us, to give real insight into both the VC and meme world! Plus, a special additional segment where Logan talks with expert consumer investor Mags Kala, Alex Taub, the Co-Founder and CEO of Upstream, and OG Bored Ape owner and NFT maven TropoFarmer, about NFTs, the Bored Ape Yacht Club land sale that was so big it nearly destroyed Ethereum, and the future of the Metaverse!
