In this episode of the Unstoppable Podcast, we talk to Devin Finzer from OpenSea, a peer-to-peer trading platform for crypto assets. We talk about what led Devin into this space, and why blockchain works so well for trading like this.
We cover collectible items, like football cards and “cryptopunks” — limited edition artworks created on the blockchain. Devin talks about how this works within the context of decentralization, and how users can get involved.
Devin’s platform, OpenSea, is built to make trading digital assets easy and accessible, and he explains how this works and how the platform has evolved. You’ll also learn how to get started with the platform and what to expect.
