Burn Rubber and Chill Your Mind

Creating Equitable Futures and Healthy Ecosystems with Crypto Tokens, NFTs, and Metaverses

When engaging in conversations with founders, entrepreneurs, and artists about the potential of NFTs and the metaverse, much of the focus is on what blockchain technology can do. While the technology and innovation aspects are appealing and crucial, what is of equal importance is the personal benefits of helping overcome anxiety, depression, and grief. In this book, we examine the potential of building equitable futures for all, gardening and creativity, smart rings using microbes, and using creative minds and empowering mindsets to overcome loss and build for the future. Technology and money sometimes must take a back seat to bringing good to the world for us, for our health, and for others.

This thirty-third book in the Crypto Hipster Chronicles series, entitled "Burn Rubber and Chill Your Mind" goes into the personal benefits centered on equality, creativity, and personal growth and development opportunities offered by engaging in NFTs and the metaverse. This book draws upon four Crypto Hipster Chronicles podcasts. Sebnem Rusistchka, a computer scientist by trade and who, at the time of this interview, was a researcher with Boson Protocol, shares how to create healthy ecosystems and sustainable futures relying on the possibilities inherent within the tokenized economy. David Kvitsiani, founder of CNICK, shares how he has created an NFT collection and smart rings used by Tesla by capturing the amazing colors created by biological microbes. Ken Folan, co-founder of the Kildare Gallery, shares how gardening and creating sculptures based on NFTs and cryptocurrencies can lead to a healthy and healing mindset. And Jamie Goldblatt, founder of Mind Chill 360, shares all about how his Metaverse of Chill and Mind Chill Guardians are helping overcome grief and chill the world out.

I hope you find this book both educational and useful in your crypto and life journey.
