Our very own Eser Coban compiled a list of your questions, including: “How can artists benefit from blockchain technology?“, “What are DAO’s?, ” What are blockchain wallets and why do we need them?” “What are gas fees?” and, “How do you see blockchain changing capitalism?“, to be answered in a 45 minute interview.Meet the PresenterWassim Z.
