Big names in the tech, entertainment and sports worlds converged during Monday night's "WTF is an NFT" event at Launch House (co-founded by Brett Goldstein). The intimate evening in Trousdale Estates was hosted by Beyond Media in association with The NFT Guild, and celebrated the launch of Metaverse marketing agency, 8 Commas, co-founded by Nicole Behnam and Rembrandt Flores. Behnam co-hosted the event with New York Times bestseller Neil Strauss to usher in a new era for the entertainment and web3 communities. She interviewed several emerging figures in NFTs including Ronen V (Creator.xyz Founder and CEO), Andrew Wang (NFT writer), Brantly Millegan (Director of Operations, ENS Domains), Farokh Sarmad (CEO, Rug Radio), and FBI negotiator/MasterClass instructor Chris Voss. The group collectively spoke about the recent boom in global NFT markets and provided guests with insights into how they can get more involved in crypto and digital collectibles. Several speakers were notably dressed in Bored Ape Wear, which is officially licensed streetwear derived from the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs. A surprise special guest was AngelList chairman and former CEO Naval Ravikant who divulged to the attendees at the $13 million estate his thoughts on the value of scarcity in the digital world.
