Most importantly, Avery and Sam discuss the expansion in direction for the pod to expand the topics and guests we introduce to our audience. Gen C is the new generation of the internet. The C stands for Crypto, but it also stands for Creators, the Connected Consumer and Collectibles (both digital and physical with OnChain provenance). It stands for Culture and Characters (the ones we play in games and the companion ones that AI is building alongside us. It stands for Community and digital Citizenship and the new set of transparent and trustless tools being built to govern them. Welcome to the new Gen C!
