Welcome to Layers0. Layers0 is a podcast of unscripted conversations with the people that

make up the Ethereum community. Crypto is built by code, but is composed by people, and

each individual member of the crypto community has their own story to tell.

CypherPunks understood that the code they write impacts the people that use it, and Layers0

focuses on the people behind the code because Ethereum is people all the way down, and

it always has been. Today, I'm talking with the artist Peeple Pleaser, who is the renowned

artist behind the Uniswap X times Y equals K animation that sold for almost half a million

for Pleaser Dow, which has just become a gargantuan of just a Dow that is sucking up all of

the cool cultural artifacts of the world. Peeple Pleaser has really led the charge into

what it means to become an NFT artist, but also an NFT artist that resonates with some

of the ethos in the culture of the cryptocurrency space and truly become focused on generating

NFT art and using that skill, that artistic talent, to direct money into charities. Throughout

her collection of work, she's donated over two million dollars of total value into various

charities of her work, and really believes in making sure that we instantiate some of

these values for the long term of crypto and not just focus on this whole moon, boy,

number, go up to 100x bag culture. So I really appreciate that angle from Peeple Pleaser,

and overall had a ton of fun finding out what it was like to be an artist before crypto,

what it was like for her to get into crypto, and now become a very prolific, hard worker

in the world of crypto art in NFTs. So I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Peeple

Pleaser. Before we get to that conversation, a moment to talk about some of these fantastic

sponsors that make this show possible. Arbitrum is an Ethereum scaling solution that's
