Future Signal

There are no experts in crypto. This is a sentiment that has been floating around Twitter and LinkedIn and I couldn't agree more. I mean, how can someone be an expert in a nascent technological space that evolves daily. It's too new and too big of a space to be an expert.

Daniella Rosa, founder of AIEA Golf, joins the pod to discuss her mission to create elevated sportswear apparel for women on the golf course. From challenges sourcing performance fabrics and finding factories willing to produce low quantities, Daniella shares all her highs and lows creating AIEA including but not limited to:⚡️ The golf apparel market lacks high-quality, stylish options for women, and Daniella saw an opportunity to fill this gap.⚡️ Sourcing performance fabrics and finding factories willing to produce low quantities were major challenges in launching the brand.⚡️ Community building is a key aspect of the mission - creating a space where people can come together, learn, and enjoy the sport. Creating a strong, organic community is more important than having a large number of followers or members.⚡️ Web3 technology has the potential to enhance the brand's offerings and create new opportunities in the golf industry. Incorporating web3 into a business can provide unique opportunities for community building and engagement.⚡️Building an NFT membership project comes with challenges, such as the complexity of onboarding users and finding trustworthy collaborators.⚡️ Collaborating with web3 influencers and brands can help expand the reach and impact of a business.⚡️ The future involves integrating NFC chips into clothing and allowing members to have voting rights in the brand's decision-making process.⚡️ EPISODE CHAPTERS ⚡️00:00 - Episode Intro00:55 - What Is AIEA Golf?02:45 - Women's Golf Apparel Custom-made For Women06:10 - Manufacturing Challenges09:28 - How's Business Today?12:00 - Golf Conferences / Product Comparisons IRL17:16 - Sales Breakdown20:03 - Community Building For Brand23:19 - Web3 Component Of AIEA27:50 - Wins/Losses Of Creating An NFT34:30 - Power Of Digital Community38:25 - Web3 Conferences In 202440:29 - Web3 Influencers For AIEA GolfFollow AIEA On:X - https://x.com/AIEAgolfLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/aiea-golf/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aieagolfInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/aieagolf/Pinterest - https://co.pinterest.com/aieagolf/Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@aiea.golfFind Daniella On:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dan_iella/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellarosa/Watch episode on YouTube - https://youtu.be/Lr2eQg-hIRcMore Than Blockchain is a podcast and media house that focuses on and highlights the people, communities, and ever-changing landscape of the blockchain industry and beyond.

In this episode, Jarrett discusses three events that will impact Bitcoin price: the Bitcoin halving, the US election, and quantitative easing.The Bitcoin halving, which already occurred, will lead to a supply shock and eventually drive up the Bitcoin price. The US election, regardless of the outcome, is likely to create uncertainty and could result in a dip in Bitcoin price in the short-term. In the long-term, each candidate has different ideas about how to regulate and corral Bitcoin. Finally, quantitative easing, or money printing, is expected to occur in the spring of 2025 and could lead to inflation and a further increase in Bitcoin price. Understanding these events is crucial for understanding the future of Bitcoin's price discovery.Watch this episode on YouTube - https://youtu.be/GlmaQ7vpnJcWhat is the Bitcoin Halving? - https://youtu.be/lQU64-6ZMO0?si=u5foUmubKenFieVvMore Than Blockchain is a podcast and media house that focuses on and highlights the people, communities, and ever-changing landscape of the blockchain industry and beyond.
