I’ve known Merlin Kauffman for many years and have seen him transition from successful domain investor to startup founder to angel investor. I believe Merlin still owns many domain names, and he continues to actively buy domain names.
Although I am not involved in the NFT or crypto spaces at all, I follow it because of the close ties with domain investors and the domain investing community. One upcoming NFT launch that caught my eye is called Metasaurs. It seems to be getting quite a bit of buzz, and it looks like Merlin is behind this new NFT. It looks like the “pre-sale minting” period began today (October 13th).
While I was away over the long weekend, Merlin was interviewed about his Metasaurs project, and the video interview is below. Notably, Merlin said “I’ve created many businesses, many successful businesses, but Metasaurs and Dr. DMT are the best ventures I’ve ever created in my life.”
but people always say the new venture they are busy with now is their best one. btw, yesterday in FT: “Coinbase poised to launch NFT marketplace”
hey, why not. this is easy money. did you hear about the NFT where the founder just took off with the 2.7 million he made from selling?
