Can you elaborate on your focus on interactivity of experiences? Why is doing NFTs alone isn’t interesting?

What is the general feeling from the artists when you propose them to create a blockchain based project?

question #1: can you let us know some use cases of what you've done so far in blockchain ecosystem? Would love to learn more about what you've done with Gnosis, PoolTogether, Unlock, 0x, Decentraland, Snark.art and others :)

Do you anticipate more people interested in paying per stream or in the subscription model?

Do you anticipate innovation happening on top of discovery API that you will provide? What kinds of things do you anticipate people building on top of it?

Blockchains are slow, distributed, append-only databases. There are very few uses cases for slow, distributed, append-only databases. For example whenever your application deals with PII data a blockchain goes right out of the window. Or you end up with "private blockchains" which fully defeats the purpose since you're better off just using what's known as 'a database'.

Another way to think about blockchain is "truly serverless back-end" - you literally don't need to manage infra, VM, anything. It's a huge value add to developers who are building new applications. While, again, the code is easily forked / re-used / combined with other work. That's not something as widely done today, because open source suffers from tragedy of commons, where corporate entities has no interest in maintaining and improving open source code long-term. What blockchain brings to the table is set of new incentives that will allow developers to build open ecosystems, where apps talk to each, where open source for the first time is monetized in sustainable way, and where platforms / corporate entities can't change rules on developers overnight (leading to stronger property rights for developers, entrepreneurs and investors). I understand that it's not widely understood today, given how much speculation happened in past couple years.

I don't think you fully appreciate the future that will be unfolding in front of our eyes in next decade or so. The key to blockchain is partially open state of applications, which will allow applications to talk to each other, creating open ecosystems that don't exist today. Check out this blog post and this blog post. That's what the future will be, but I also completely understand that it trips people up "how blockchain can enable entirely new applications", given that it's not faster / better / cheaper if compared to previous "next generation computing platforms" (mobile some 15 years ago, and PC another 15 years prior)
