In today's episode, we speak with the incredible TommyD.
Tommy Danvers AKA TommyD has had a wildly successful career in the music industry. He’s a multi-platinum award-winning music producer, a songwriter, and a DJ. On top of that, he’s the creator of a whiskey brand (8O8 Whisky) as well as Tokentraxx, a company leading the way in web3 adoption in the music space.
We discussed this in a fascinating interview where Tommy shares his experience of the industry's inner workings and how web3 technology will play a role in its future.
While there’s still a long way to go until we see mainstream adoption, Tommy’s explanation on how web3, and more specifically, NFTs, will change how fans form relationships with their favourite artists and become even greater advocates was an eye-opener for me.
If you’re interested to hear what the next phase of evolution within music might look like, tune in for the full interview.

In this week's episode of Off Chain, we do a deep dive discussion into The Merge. We break everything down so that you can understand the following:
What is The Merge? The environmental benefits of The Merge. The economic benefits of The Merge. What won't get better post-Merge? What happens to staked ETH post-Merge? Do you need to do anything if you hold ETH pre-Merge? What's next after The Merge?We then discuss the following questions:
Is The Merge short and/or long term bullish for Ethereum? Does this put more pressure on Bitcoin to transition to an energy-efficient consensus mechanism in the future? Could this lead to the eventual flippening of ETH/BTC? The Merge addresses a lot of things, but it still doesn’t address the issue of decentralization and governance. PoS means that those with the deepest pockets have the largest say in the future of the network, and benefit the greatest from it. Is this acceptable over the long term? -

In this week's episode, I speak with Preston Johnson, the founder of WAGMI United and co-Chairman of Crawley Town Football Club.
Why am I interviewing the chairman of a professional sports team? Well, they’re doing something a little different. Very different, in fact. This is the story of how a web3 project raised funds to buy an English football team and has grand plans to take them from the fourth tier of English football, all the way to the top.
There's nothing conventional about the way they're running the club.
The fans have a say in the players that the club buys, who they bring in as backroom staff, and can even vote to fire Preston as Chairman if the club isn’t promoted to the next division within two years. Regardless of what you think about crypto, these examples are a great step forward for a local fanbase.
And let’s face it, if you’ve witnessed some of the ways in which English football clubs have been run in the more conventional sense in the past few years, it’s clear that something needs to be done differently.
Will the WAGMI United group be able to turn around the fortunes of Crawley Town? Only time will tell.
If you’re a fan of sports, have an interest in how crypto is being applied in the real world, or well, if you’re a Crawley Town FC fan, I think you’re going to enjoy this episode.
