SquiggleDAO Podcast
SquiggleDAO is elevating the Chromie Squiggle to its rightful place in culture, as a beloved and seminal art project. Squiggles have one of the most influential collector base in all of NFTs. We want to bring more interest to Squiggles by giving a platform to these collectors, visionaries, and creators. The podcast is hosted by Nifty Fifty & Jared Poz. Both of these gentlemen are early and prominent collectors of Squiggles in their own right. You would be pressed to find 2 collective minds that are so passionate about Squiggles and so knowledgeable about their history, depth, and impact.
