The NFT sports arena is exciting, and one of the biggest projects of note in that sector right now is F1 Delta Time. The Formula 1 blockchain-based game has brought in 100s of ETH worth of transactions in recent weeks, which shows the game is booming lately. It’s time to pay attention accordingly!


For this dispatch:

🎨 Digital Art & Collectibles

  • For my second Async Art advocacy campaign, I’ve teamed up with the talented multidisciplinary cryptoartist Hidden Forces to get the word out on his coming multi-layered masterpiece, “Who’s the Controller Now?” More on that soon. For now, learn more about the artist through my profile piece!

    A lot of people are missing the point here. This isn’t about materialism, this is about crypto changing the power balance for artists and fans. Taking away the need for bloated 3rd parties and allowing direct access and participation between creators and audience.

I’m passionate about art and a DeFi/NFT optimist, so putting together this newsletter is both fun and informative for me. I hope others may find the content helpful, too. But be mindful, the information herein should not be construed as investment advice. I’m not a financial adviser, and these are my opinions. Always take care to seriously consider the various layers of risk you face in participating in the still-maturing cryptoeconomy.

If you have a DeFi tip or lead, questions or comments, or would be interested in commissioning me for a writing gig, you can ping me at wmpeaster@gmail.com or on Telegram at @wmpeaster.
