Summary

In this conversation, I talk with Jonny about his journey into the world of crypto, his transition from working at Google, and Coinbase, to founding his own company - called Fabric and their development of Hypersub; an onchain subscription service. You could say Hypersub is NaaS product - NFTs as a subscription (NaaS).

We touch on many things, including the concept of subscription fatigue and the unique features of Hypersub and why the future of media maybe onchain. Jonny talks about the challenges and opportunities of building a creator platform, the user experience, and the potential for growth and expansion in the future.

Takeaways

• Jonny's journey into crypto began in 2014 after hearing about Bitcoin on a podcast and later buying Ethereum during its crowd fund. Wow!
• Jonny transitioned from working at Google to freelancing at Coinbase and Polychain Labs, gaining valuable experience in the crypto industry.
• The development of HyperSub, a subscription NFT product, offers a unique approach to subscriptions, allowing for time-bound access and non-automated recurring payments.

Summary

I talk with Billy Luedtke, from the project Intuition about his short journey to crypto and long journey in crypto :)

We both agree on the importance of decentralized identity and Intuition aims to create a trusted interaction layer in the blockchain space, allowing users to make better decisions by providing more data for humans and things as well.

The platform Intuition is building will allow for the claiming of information about anything, from people to products, and they aim to create a semantic web where data is easily accessible and understandable. Intuition is focused on the protocol and middleware layers, but will also initially build on the application layer to drive adoption. as every successful team in crypto has to. The platform will be live in June/July 2024.
