Since you've been in crypto a long time, how has your perspective on crypto changed since you first worked at Coinbase?

What ideas would you be working on in crypto (or otherwise I guess) today if not Zora?

design has always played a big role in how zora has been presented to the world. I would loosely characterize it as more edgy than most crypto products, with a clearly defined vibe that reminds me of post-internet art (cory arcangel, constant dullaart, petra cortright, DIS, hito steyerl, jon rafman, many others) as well as the history of video art and documentary filmmakers like adam curtis. I guess what I’m saying is that I see these references in subtle ways that suggest to me that the people behind this protocol/app are culturally informed. why are aesthetics (or dare I use the word “taste”) important to the zora vision?

Why do you think content coins are a good thing? You have lived through the "NFT for creators" past cycle, and have seen how it failed to onboard masses and how it has burnt many creators as well. Why do you think this will be different with content coins?

in a future where "algo feeds are built on coin markets", do you see platforms converging toward the same trading-optimized logic? or do you think there’s room for radically different feeds based on how each one interprets value — cultural, social, financial?

While experimentation and exploration is so important in crypto, I have trouble understanding why Zora would continue to deprecate popular old features. As an artist I loved having control over editions and price. The 1/1/x series mint pages. I loved the openness of the original zora auctionhouse. On the other hand I never find myself thinking "an erc-20 is the right solution for art" despite trying it a few times for the sake of experimentation. I know many artists feel that the platform doesnt prioritize their concerns or platform needs. So my questions: - Why remove popular old features? Why not just add to the list? - Will zora source and documentation for older versions remain available? - If artists and collectors arent actually the target audience, who is?

Is Zora collaborating with base and they become one chain or they are still separate chains?
