In the fourth episode of Season five, we are joined by Aniko Berman and 0xBrian. Aniko is doing incredible work focused on on-chain digital art patronage, curation and strategy at Art of This Millenium, a premier contemporary digital art gallery. Brian is a chad who is focused on the intersection of DeFi and NFTs.

They’re both known for their exquisite taste and digital art patronage. We dive into Brian’s experience being a student under Redbeard, Aniko’s background in Art and how she got into patronage from her family experiences, the different journeys artist have to be successful, lending in the art market, and so much more. Due to a hard drive failure, we unfortunately lost the video feeds for this episode. Luckily the audio is still in tact.
