Colin Brightfield
Colin's web3 experience casts a wide net from NFTs to a podcast called The Block Explorer. Web3 encapsulates many of his passions and areas of expertise including community building, technology, philosophy, politics, economics, and finance as well as offering an optimistic version of the future.
Colin hosts a podcast called The Block Explorer, which is focused on amplifying the values of the web3 space, especially around regenerative finance and community building. He began the podcast in 2021. It has now published over 35 episodes ranging from deep dives into critical philosophical concepts such as the definition of money, to interviews with influencers in the regenerative economics and NFT spaces, as well as current events shaping the crypto industry.
His passion for art inspired him to dive headfirst into the NFT community and get involved in onboarding artists into the world of crypto. With his knowledge and experience, Colin created a project to be a resource for artists interested in NFTs and assist them in developing their projects.
Colin launched Reliquary DAO to encapsulate this mission of bringing excitement to in-person events through web3 and NFTs. They host events in Santa Barbara, California, which have been successful in bringing the community together, opening up a discussion of the role of NFTs in web3 and how they can be used to further the shared goals of a community.
These events inspired Colin to build a cohort of artists that he is coaching on an individual basis on strategies for entering the NFT market, developing their NFTs and minting process for them, and being an educational resource in the community. He believes in empowering artists. It’s been rewarding being able to bring more interested people into the blockchain community and help them get started in their crypto journey.
