Cameron Hejazi: Cent, Twitter, and NFT Artists

Horacio spoke with Cameron Hejazi, the co-founder and CEO of Cent. Cameron created Cent in 2017 with the purpose of creating a community where artists could share their work and build a fan base. Cent made headlines when Valuables, its NFT marketplace of Tweets, minted Jack Dorsey’s first tweet and sold it for $2.9 million. Cent also created a separate NFT marketplace that had to be shut down due to fraudulent activity. Cameron discusses all this and more on the podcast.More discussion topics include:Building Web3 communitiesExperimenting with incentivizing curation and participationMinting tweets as a way to reduce barriersChoosing the right venue to sell specific assetsShutting down the Cent NFT marketplaceActing in the best interest of the NFT communityAssisting creators to make an income through ownershipThe app.bio as a way to bridge Web2 with Web3A prolonged downturn having a serious impact on creatorsPutting protocols in place against counterfeit NFTs---Follow Alts- Website & newsletter: https://alts.co- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpmgk4gzQ56QvpyegBJJVQA- Discord: https://discord.gg/DEkHgzggwC- Twitter: https://twitter.com/altassetsclub- Insta: https://instagram.com/alts_co- Link to Alan Goldsher playlist
