UTA doesn’t just represent Larva Labs, but also represents every punk owner
Someone mentioned that they think Larva Labs driving more value for holders and floor will pas that of Punks.
Someone saying that there will never be something like a Bored Ape Adult Swim show, because the network can’t control the actions of other Bored Apes holders. Other holders could go do something that’s sexist/misogynistic and that would be too risky for a network.
Some agree, some don’t.
Someone with other Bored Apes could make some bootleg version of a project, too. Nike could say, why would we put money into putting Bored Apes on clothing when they can’t own the entirety of the branding.
3LAU saying that U.S. law isn’t yet equipped to handle crypto-based claims about ownership and I.P.
Justin Taylor says he worked at Nike for two years, and that they think about creating their own IP
Jesse saying some companies adversarial
Consumers can’t bet on companies to look out for them
Companies looking out for their own regulatory moat. Expanding the regulatory moat not always in the interest of end consumer
3LAU saying VC-funded DeFi projects doing best in that space.
3LAU: you’re dealing with the new world and old/existing world, and you can’t yet really choose one. Coinbase is an example of a company playing in the world as-is. You have to recognize the power structures that exist and lobby and show those with power the new path.
The fair launch, purist approach is utopian…probably not realistic
OpenSea app launch is a big deal
They had to comply and still got through.
We’re at a crossroads of where things are going, and where things have been.
Ultimately the government does really serve the interest of the people
If people really want these products, things will change, but it will take time
If you don’t play in the old world too and go too hard to one side, you’re likely to fail.
Regulators look untrustworthy because they’re blocking Americans from some things
