VEECON Exclusive: Part 2: The Essence of VeeFriends

Published: July 20, 2022, midnight

Check out part 2 of my exclusive Veecon coverage from Minneapolis this past May. There’s no one background, industry, or way of life that can describe the community that makes up VeeFriends… BESIDES maybe that everyone is a character, as you’ll come to see in this part two of my time documenting Veecon. From daredevils like Simon “Wild Wallaby” who sold a good portion of his belongings to get into the VeeFriends NFT game, to established industry veterans like Tom Bilyu of Impact Theory, who was on his way to speak about at a panel with Steve Aoki (no big deal) about their upcoming NFT collaboration. I got the pleasure of covering a WIDE range of different VeeFriends from different backgrounds. I also got the pleasure of reconnecting with POZcast Alumni like Matt Higgins, and another pretty cool guy named Gary that was pretty popular at this event for some reason… There’s even more packed into this episode than I can fit in a quick description, so be sure to check this one out to cure your Veecon fomo!
