Persons of Interest – in NFTs

log on here to gain access

Persons of Interest, a collection of 41 interviews with leading blockchain heroes by journalist Jillian Godsil, has now been converted into a boutique collection of NFTs which will be released on the WAX blockchain on Wednesday 8th December at 4pm

Only 150 packs have been minted, 100 of which are standard packs containing 5 NFTs priced at $2 and 50 premium containing 10 NFTs and priced at $4.

The subjects range from Mr Bitcoin Andreas Antonopoulos to Liberland President Vit Jedlika to the late and infamous John McAfee. The book is a snapshot of blockchain during covid at the end of last year.

Author Jillian Godsil went onto to sketch all 41 subjects included in her book. Her art tutor over lockdown described her style as a cross between Roald Dahl’s illustrator Quentin Blake and a five year old – with the five year style having dominance.

“It’s been a fun experience to convert my subjects from words to images and thence to NFTs,” says Jillian. “I enlisted the help of my horse mad daughter Georgina to create the variables for my images. We had fun guessing who was who – I hope you enjoy getting the NFTs as much as we had making them.”

Persons of Interest, Timestamped in Blockchain and Cryptocurrecy, Vol 1, the book follows the paths of 41 prominent people working in the sector; some are very high profile and some less so, but they all share a passion for blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Jillian is a fintech journalist with more than 30 years international experience across the world. For the past five years Jillian travelled from her rural village in Ireland to chair blockchain conferences across the world – from Dubai, Kiev, Muscat, Columbo, New York, Austen, Cape Town, Amsterdam, Vienna, London and Dublin.

Jillian is co-founder of Blockleaders, and is a freelancer for Coin Telegraph, the Irish Times and Coindesk.

In her travels Jillian was privileged to meet with some of the inspiring founders, gurus, experts, thinkers and in some cases chancers from this dynamic world; the energy is boundless, the optimism endless and the pace relentless.

This book is for anyone interested in this sector, focusing on the saucy, thoughtful, quirky, energized, crazy, intelligent, and inspiring players in the space.

From world Presidents to Models on OnlyFans – this line-up could only be found in the weird and wacky world of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
