NFTs: The Best of Times, The Worst of Times (323)

<p>Joe and Robert do an overview of the crazy week in crypto. Is this an opportunity or has Web3's time come to pass?</p> <p>The <em>New York Times</em> and Disney release earnings and the boys run through the highlights.</p> <p>The <em>Wall Street Journal</em> says NFTs are dead. Other sources say the WSJ didn't do their homework. Who's correct?</p> <p>And Instagram launches a test NFT program. Good move?</p> <p>Rants and raves include Starbucks moving their rewards program to Web3 and a rant on personalization you don't want to miss.</p> <p>This week's links:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.axios.com/2022/05/04/new-york-times-earnings-wordle-acquisition-users" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times Results</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.axios.com/2022/05/11/disney-subscribers-streaming-200-million" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disney+ Ramping Up</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.wsj.com/articles/nft-sales-are-flatlining-11651552616?st=ninez4ofctdlm8h&reflink=share_mobilewebshare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFTs Are Dead</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.milkroad.com/p/wall-street-journal-wrong" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wall Street Journal Is Dead Wrong</a></p> <p><a href= "https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/09/instagram-testing-nfts-select-creators/?guccounter=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram Testing NFTs</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.marketingweek.com/peter-weinberg-jon-lombardo-personalisation-impersonalisation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forget Personalization</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/4/23057221/starbucks-nft-loyalty-program-rewards-perks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SBUX NFT Loyalty Program</a></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">---------</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000000;">Liked this show?
