Can you tell me a little bit about Light Cult Crypto Club? You guys are getting ready to mint tomorrow, what should people know about this project and these characters you’ve created?
Well, I came up with a couple of things and it’s kind of funny because you can’t do crypto punks anymore, you can’t even do anything with two words anymore, because everything is taken. So I had kept trying out different things until I could come up with something with four words because then you can make something original and you can copyright. And so I came up with a couple of different things and then my son came down and he’s actually been shepherding this project because he just got out of financial school. And I asked him if his teachers talk a lot about NFTs and cryptocurrency. He said they don’t know anything about it, and I thought that was messed up. This is the biggest exchange of money in the history of the world. They don’t know anything about it? They’re financial guys. So I told him instead of going out into the world, why don’t you just work with us for a year on some of this NFT stuff, and you’ll walk into the world a rich man instead of, you know, having to start at the bottom like everybody else. So he looked at all my different concepts and said, that’s the one. Light Cult Crypto Club. And then it was based around the aura images, a light bulb, which represents having an idea. I came up with 1000 unique ones and then we used a computer to generate the next 9000 by creating puzzle pieces that went together in different ways.

Wow, so what’s it been like working with your son on this project? It’s interesting that you both attack it from different sides, art and finance.
He has a completely different mind than me. He’s absolutely a completely different person than me. He likes finance. He likes sports. He knows everything about Logan Paul. I didn’t know who Logan Paul was. And I find a lot of people my age when I hang out with them are just completely clueless about anything that’s happening right now. You have to have young people on your team, or it’s not gonna happen. So it works really well. It’s kind of interesting to think that, in a weird way, I’m his employee. It’s kind of like he’s running the project. And he’s lucky enough to have signed a famous artist.
