Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 95 - TIMEPieces - NFTs, community-building, and social change art
In episode 95, we’re excited to welcome Jason Metz, Senior Web3 Strategist at TIME. Through their Web3 community initiative, TIMEPieces, they have released multiple NFT collections, and are using the power of Web3 to bring artists, collectors, and the community together. In this episode, we discuss how NFTs can help elevate history and culture, why Web3 as a powerful tool for uplifting activists and social change movements, how Web3 can help build community, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
The spirit of Web3 is to move towards a more equitable system that aims to break down systemic societal structures that exist to pick winners and losers, and building a system that empowers everyone to rise to the top.
NFTs present new ways for individuals to preserve memories and experiences that matter to them, in ways that give them true ownership.
Whereas activists and changemakers have capitalized on Web2 platforms to grow their movements, Web3 empowers them with true ownership over their movements – giving them the tools and agency to engage others and create shared ownership in their cause.
