After I wrote about my thoughts on sports fan tokens recently (https://taschalabs.com/fan-tokens-new-ponzi-or-new-paradigm/), Alex Dreyfus, who is the CEO of Socios, the largest fan token platform in the world, reached out.
He told me I'm biased and some of my views are not correct. That's nice to hear :)
So I brought Alex on the Tascha Labs podcast to talk about his vision for fan tokens and how he thinks web3 will change the century-old business model of the sports industry.
This is exciting stuff, guys.
Enjoy!
