In this episode of The Long Run Show, we chat with Matt Gaser, Chief Executive Officer at Fabricated Madness about the future of NFTs. "I think the creative side of NFTs is just a small portion of the kind of utilities that NFTs will bring" "Your medical records will be an NFT, your mortgage is going to be an NFT because it's totally encrypted." "I think NFTs are going to be an integral part in the sale of goods, the transfer of funds" Matt's impressive resume includes well-known projects such as CG animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Matt recently left his career of 20 years to start his own business in the NFT world working on many projects, one of which is The Chronicles of Dr.Zammys where a fantasy doctor in a whimsical universe called Gallagan, fights a virus coming from another dimension.Dr.Zammys is also planned to be an animated TV series.Guest:Matt Gaser LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgaser/Project Website: https://www.drzammsy.com/FAQ: https://www.drzammsy.com/faq/Links to purchasing our NFTs: https://www.drzammsy.com/get-nfts/Personal Artist site: https://www.mattgaser.com/Wax Blockchain: https://twitter.com/WAX_ioFAQs: https://www.drzammsy.com/faq/https://wax.atomichub.io/Hosted By:Austin WillsonMichael O'ConnorTranscript:So welcome back to another episode of The Long Run Show.

He is a part of the project of The Chronicles of Dr.Zammsy.So Matt, welcome to The Long Run Show.Matt:Hey guys. Great to be here. Thank you. Appreciate it.Q:Our first guest on this is wild, right?Matt:Hey there's always a first, I'm happy to be be here and talk everything about NFTs, the future of NFTs and yeah, it's an exciting time.Totally amazing time for this kind of thing.Q:Yeah. It's wild. It's bubbled to the surface over what really the last two years here. So you're in a very exciting space right now. What's it? What's it like finding your way Matt: Very adventurous. I quit my job, doing what I did for 20 years to jump full steam into this. My partner convinced me about this time last year, Ralph. He helped found fabricated madness with me. And last April, we launched our first real NFT project that I incorporated trading cards as NFTs. And we sold. In April, our first set within an hour made 200,000 and we were like, oh, okay. This is real what's. Wow. What? But but it was a fascinating year last year. We learned a lot about the space. We learned a lot about what collectors are looking for. And it's changed drastically since that launch in April. And it's just insanely challenging. And the growth is exponential, but it doesn't come without its challenges.

Okay. I think it's @WAXP if you're looking for investing into that crypto, but yeah it's a specific. Blockchain, that's really geared towards gaming and FTS and no gas fees.And it's carbon footprints pretty low in fact almost non-existent. It's but beyond all that, it's just like a fascinating place to sell NFTs and create games that are relating to the play to earn model. Yeah. So it sounds like there was a bit of a concept behind it, as far as like playing cards, Q:Pokemon Mike, I think you might've had experience with Pokemon growing up.I have always been a I've been a trading card guy, my whole life. I love the Pokemon cards and then did a little, a Hearthstone in my teenage years.Matt: I'm an artist from that I've actually painted illustrations for Hearthstone. Imagine. It's been a, it's been a really weird twist to be on the production side instead of just being a hired artist for those kinds of things and hiring other artists to do art as well. I just never thought that would ever happen. I thought I'd just be painting stuff for people and their movies and things like that forever. But yeah, it's been a ...
