Hello,
thank
you
everyone,
so
I
was
so
nervous
because
I
had
to
fit
into
15
minutes
and
I
talk
a
lot
sometimes
so.
Forgive
me
it
is
an
honor
to
be
here
at
near
khan.
I
can't
tell
you
how
excited
I
am
and
just
from
seeing
ilya
earlier
satori.
I
have
to
follow
them.
I'm
here
to
talk
about
new
consumer
adoption.
B
Near
is
made
for
consumers
so
far
as
I'm
concerned
near
is
what
blockchain
needs
to
be
in
order
to
break
wide
and
large.
So
I'm
not
going
to
wrap
it.
I
put
that
once
upon
a
time
in
1989.,
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
in
time.
So
back
in
1989,
I
was
a
student
in
college.
Yes,
I'm
54
years
old
right
now
I
feel
old,
but
you
know
I'm
not,
but
I
remember,
being
young
and
thinking
54
was
way
old,
so
it's
not
so
anyway.
B
B
Now
the
thing
that
got
me
at
that
point
was
we
were
at
harvard,
so
we
were
supposed
to
go
into
law
investment,
banking.
All
of
those
traditional
things
we
told
people.
We
were
going
to
do
a
rap
music
magazine.
Now
it's
a
little
hard
to
understand
today,
rap
music
is
or
hip
hop
is
everywhere,
but
back
then
it
had
been
around
for
11
years
and
note
these
numbers
had
been
around
for
about
11
years.
B
B
B
B
B
That's
what
the
things
that
I
learned
to
grow
hip-hop
and
its
lifestyle,
its
global
cultural,
social,
economic
phenomenon,
establishment,
is
what
we
can
apply
to
blockchain,
to
make
it
break
big,
to
break
large
the
way
that
it
has
the
potential
to
do,
and
with
near
I
see
that
we're
able
to
do
that
in
some
very
meaningful
ways.
So
I'm
enlisting
some
artists,
so
I
wanted
them
to
come
and
just
make
some
commentary
artists
from
hip-hop
that
are
also
visual
artists
like
kid
and
play
from.
C
Yo,
what's
really
good
and
yes,
I'm
play
from
kid
and
play,
but
what
many
don't
know
is
that
I
started
in
the
visual
arts.
I
was
a
student
at
both
the
high
school
of
art
and
design
and
the
school
of
visual
arts
in
new
york
city.
So
when
I
see
nfts
and
the
blockchain
and
how
these
new
technologies
allow
me
to
connect
directly
with
my
audience
with
music,
and
especially
my
art
and
more,
I
see
the
future
the
way
I
imagined
and
hoped
it
would
be.
C
B
D
Hey
what's
up
my
good
people,
this
is
your
boy
uncle
vin
rock
from
the
legendary
grammy
award
winning
group
naughty
by
nature.
I'm
also
representing
ill-town
sluggers
you'll
learn
a
lot
about
that
coming
up,
asap.
Well,
listen.
I'm
excited
to
learn
that
the
near
protocol
is
built.
It's
nft
standards
for
artists.
Like
me,
man,
meaning
the
royalties,
live
where
they
should
be,
and
that's
on
the
blockchain
not
on
one
specific
marketplace
to
me.
It
shows
that
near
gets
it
and
I
can't
wait
to
add
near
to
our
crypto
and
metaverse
offerings.
D
B
But
it's
beyond
just
hip-hop:
how
do
we
get
blockchain
to
become
a
part
of
people's
lives,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
looking
at
and
working
on
is
how
do
you
insinuate
it
into
in
a
positive
way
what
people
are
already
doing?
What
people
are
have
good
will
and
good
feelings
about,
and
so
I
enlisted
comic
relief
along
with
satori
and
we're.
Well,
let
me
show
you.
E
Hi,
I'm
allison
moore,
I'm
the
ceo
of
comic
relief
here
in
the
u.s.
A
comic
relief
run,
exciting
new
journey,
we're
embracing
new
technology
and
finding
ways
to
leverage
its
power
to
fuel
our
impactful
red
nose
day
campaign.
We
truly
believe
new
technologies
and
platforms
can
help
us
achieve
our
goals,
particularly
when
they're
thoughtfully
used.
E
So
for
us,
it's
super
important
to
find
innovative
ways
to
reach
more
people,
compelling
them
to
open
their
eyes
to
some
of
the
most
pressing
issues
of
today
and
then
providing
frictionless
ways
to
give
all
happening
at
scale.
So
that's
why
we're
super
excited
for
this
initiative.
Expanding
the
ways
that
fundraising
can
happen
by
enlisting
satori
and
ed,
to
bring
a
comic
relief,
fundraising,
call
to
action,
utilizing
the
power
of
blockchain
and
nfts.
E
This
is
a
pretty
breakthrough
idea
for
us,
we're
leveraging
the
benefits
of
near
a
carbon,
neutral,
blockchain
and
a
truly
mainstream
consumer-friendly
platform.
These
are
two
issues
that
were
important
to
us
as
we
made
this
decision
because
we
think,
together
with
all
this
combined,
we
can
further
our
vision
of
a
just
world
free
from
poverty.
E
B
B
And
the
the
decentralized
nature,
which
is
the
democratic
underpinnings
of
blockchain,
so
much
of
our
politics
is
so
toxic
right
now
we're
bringing
nfts
to
the
political
realm
in
a
way
that
is
not
the
toxic
nature,
but
just
explaining
and
leveraging
nft
technology
for
politicians
to
use
in
a
way
that
is
engaging
of
their
supporters.
B
B
Thank
you
see,
he
won't
come
up,
but
this
is
a
man
who
understands
in
building
a
dream.
This
is
a
man
who
started
the
universal
hip-hop
museum
project
over
a
decade
ago
now
and
it
is
being
built
in
the
bronx.
It
is
going
it's
a
part
of
this
major
construction
and
it's
coming
to
life.
So
I
think
he's
indicative
of
what
can
happen
what
you
can
build
into
reality.
B
B
B
So
that's
one
of
the
first
major
cultural
institutions
to
have
a
crypto
art
collection,
we're
going
to
allow
the
people
who
visit
the
museum
to
participate,
and
so
I
just
want
to
finish
up
here
and
say
I
I
am
just
bubbling
over
with
expectation
for
what
neer
is
going
to
do
and
bring.
I
love
that
it
brings
that
accessibility
and
so
when
you're
trying
to
reach
the
mainstream.
B
So
much
of
it
is
usability
as
satori
spoke
about
it.
The
wallets
are
easier,
but
you
have
to
approach
people
where
they
are,
and
so
all
of
these
projects,
the
the
underlying
thing
that
I
believe
they
have
in
common
is:
let's
get
ourselves
in
front
of
the
consumer
while
they're
doing
what
they've
already
been
doing
while
they've
engaging
with
these
artists
that
they
love.
While
they
are
trying
to
end
world
poverty
while
they
are
trying
to
buy
products
on
a
certain
cycle
or
periodicity.
B
If
you
can
put
yourself
in
those
places,
that's
how
you
win.
This
is
still
a
very
small
market,
but
we
are
on
the
brink
of
making
it
a
very,
very
big
market,
and
I
am
committed
to
and
dedicated
to
making
that
happen.
One
of
the
last
things
I
want
to
say
when
I
was
doing
the
hip-hop
heads.
I
engaged
the
two
artists
dj
clientele
and
easy
e's
son,
easy.
If
people
know
nwa
easy
e
from
nwa,
his
son
is
little
easy
he's
much
bigger
than
easy
e
was,
but
he's
little
easy.
B
I
engaged
them
to.
I
wanted
an
ear
worm.
I
wanted
something
that
spoke
to
nfts
and
if
you
recall,
mtv,
I'm
old
enough
to
remember
when
mtv
came
out,
mtv
came
out
and
music
videos
weren't
necessarily
the
thing
that
we're
used
to
and
they're
not
so
much
a
thing
any
longer,
but
they
powered
the
music
industry.
They
upended
what
record
labels
were
doing
and
so
to
me
that
was
very
meaningful.
So
there
was
a
song
that
was
you
hear.
I
want
my
mtv,
so
I
told
dj
clientele.
