Baron Davis: Bringing Athletes to Web3
One of the first verticals Davis will launch is SLiC Images, which aims to be a decentralized platform, file storage product and licensing system for photographers – pros and amateurs alike. “If a picture says 1,000 words, we want to capture history now because in blockchain and Web3 those words can live for 1,000 years,” says Davis, who opens up about the goals of SLiC, how he sees athletes using social tokens and utility tokens in the future, and why even in the bear market, despite all the negative press, NBA players who know web3 are “still excited about it.”
