Daniel Botha: HashLips YouTuber for NFT Artists plus Roadmaps & Community

COFFEE CULTURE with Holly Shannon

05/05/22 • 65 min

NFTs are rapidly evolving - and so is this space. HashLips is driving transformation and bridging gaps through accessibility, education, and empowerment. The name is an alias for his YouTube channel, and for his NFT Art Engine as well as an NFT collection. It is also an art movement. Dig a bit deeper, and you realize that HashLips is an advocate for blockchain technology advancement, too. Most especially, it is a community of like-minded adventurers.

HashLips was born on YouTube in 2021. The channel already has over 2 million total video views. However, HashLips isn’t merely a library of ‘how-to’ videos. It's far more important. HashLips is known by the NFT community for making things accessible that simply weren't before, thus leading to the alias HashLips being spoken by people who have been enabled by the open-source nature of what Daniel does. HashLips now being an Idea and a concept for people to learn from, a community was formed.

Art Engine.

“It was written to facilitate the creation of NFTs and generate artworks,” said Daniel. “I wrote the program to be user-friendly. The audience loves to learn about NFTS, create NFTs, and learn how to code. So, this was a way for anyone to learn and generate their own NFT collections. The HashLips Art Engine is a way to generate a lot of images quickly and easily. It was created and made open-source.

The Art Engine has now enabled the creation of more than 6,000 NFT collections to date – all from within the HashLips community.

One of the most captivating aspects of the NFT space is that it’s still evolving and highly fluid. What’s HashLips’ future? Advocating accessibility and inclusivity.

As Daniel would say:

“Just because you don’t understand how this technology works, doesn’t mean that you should be left behind.”

What I learned about Daniel that isn't in his bio:

He's been following his true north as an artist since childhood.

He took inspiration from his father who was a classically trained jewelry artist.

Daniel was surrounded by materials that were transformed into beauty and he witnessed the creative process as metal morphed into a ring.

While looking for gallery representation, he received a mentor, and opportunity to travel to China.

As a rite of passage, he left home and found himself in a job where he was introduced to java script. And he a big believer in vision boards and the power of positive thinking.

All this said, Daniel, can you share your foray into crypto, token and NFTS at this point?
Mentorship and studying in China, was this the impetus of teaching on YouTube?
Can you describe The HashLips Art Engine?
Are you teaching about blockchain technology and walking people through the process of creating an NFT?
Why open-source?
Roadmaps and utilities, let's talk about the guilt or need for these pieces of the process.
New NFT collection
Does math appear as art to you?
Vision boards and mindset

Alexander Amartei: Antara the First Hollywood Movie Funded by NFTS

COFFEE CULTURE with Holly Shannon

04/27/22 • 53 min

Alexander Amartei is the producer of 'Antara', a Hollywood epic that is the first major movie in history to be funded via NFTs. The Antara Movie NFT by Arabian Camels has ushered in a new paradigm shift that is setting a whole new culture in the world of Hollywood, finance, NFTs and DeFi.

Questions:

Let’s talk about that paradigm shift!

Starting with Hollywood and the making of a movie, can you share the difference between the classical model of making a movie and the NFT model. And would this be considered fractional NFT’s?

Will this provide both democratization, making it available to all, and decentralization, making it accessible to all? And possibly explain DeFi here too!

I believe the magic is in the utility and the roadmaps for projects. How did you build out these features and perks? According to your road map, you have utilities like Ferrari’s and gold bars, how are you able to do this?

Are you single-handedly building the Discord community and fundraising?

What measures are you taking for those not interested in discord

Will you be acting in the movie as I noticed from your profile you love fencing, horses and horseback archery?

Left field question: Could an AI model replicate your movements and have it played out in the movie?

Character development, hero, victory and poetry is discussed.

Influencers and A-Listers

Speed of innovation and cost of creating a movie.

Is there a goal date to begin production? And will you only begin once all NFT’s have been sold?

Focus on the User Experience or Lose Customers in Web3

COFFEE CULTURE with Holly Shannon

07/21/22 • 14 min

Welcome to the Summer Series of Culture Factor. I’m Holly Shannon.

When I was speaking and interviewing at NFT NYC I noticed themes that almost every one of my conversations touched.

This new Web3 digital space is made up of artists, collectors and businesses and when we stopped to scratch the surface, these underlying themes all pointed toward our most basic, fundamental, evolutionary need: connection.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to break down the whys, not just the whats, of this new digital space we find ourselves in.

Hello Culture Factor Family, and welcome to the summer series.During my interviews at NFT NYC, a theme that revealed itself underneath the Web3 technology was the different kinds of user experience.

Technology accessibility, fiat (or, real cash money)vs. cryptocurrency, social media, personal expression, community, and education these are all facets of user experience that I’ve noticed directly affect people’s engagement in this space — both literally and metaphorically.

I’ll start with some examples. Let's talk about accessibility.

Season 4 of Culture Factor is produced by Avery Rogers' Paleblue Studios
