**Dear Bankless Nation,**

We’re now 5 months into* [Bankless Collectibles](https://collectibles.bankless.com/)*. It's been a huge win. We're discovering a lot about becoming a web3 media company, we're also learning a ton about our fans as they start collecting more and more podcast NFTs.

For today's newsletter, here’s a quick update on where* Collectibles* is at today (and where we're going!) 

---
We think content is collectable. It’s a new way for you, the community, to engage in Bankless content. It’s a way for you to** own** the work that Ryan and David put countless hours into. 

Everyone can listen, but only 100 people can collect.

For those of you coming across this for the first time, **[Bankless Collectibles](https://collectibles.bankless.com/)** are podcast NFTs for the biggest Bankless fans. It’s an experiment to allow you (our community) to engage and *own *Bankless content in a new, crypto-native way. Through it, we can more easily identify who the biggest Bankless fans are.

In normal media, this can be a bit challenging. Spotify Wrapped only comes out once a year, and even then, creators barely have any clue of who their biggest fans are. Crypto allows us to go straight to the source, and use on-chain, verifiable, transparent data to power these insights. 

As Bankless Citizens collect content every week, they can rise up the ranks to become a top collector. And we notice. We invite them onto Twitter Spaces to speak and debrief with us on the episode. We shout them out on the [Weekly Rollup](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ycIrbWnuM&t=2s).

It’s a path to becoming a Bankless superfan -- and we’re just getting started.

Thank you to these legends for pioneering this new frontier, one episode at a time. We appreciate you. 🫡

### New Friends in the Space 🙂
After launching podcast NFTs, we’ve finally seen a handful of creators follow suit. Namely, [Mint Podcast from Adam Levy](https://adamlevy.xyz/) and [Invest in Music from Cooper Turley.](https://investinmusic.xyz/) Both of these creators are embracing content NFTs, following a similar model to Bankless. 

We appreciate these creators joining our little dance party.

### What’s Next ⏭️
We’re tokenizing an episode every single Monday, and a bonus episode on the first Friday of the month *(reserved for Gauntlet Holders ✊)*

Monday will be no different*. *On April 3rd, we’ll be tokenizing [an episode with Jim Bianco ](https://www.bankless.com/jim-bianco-on-the-health-of-the-global-financial-system)who offers a counterpoint to [last week’s Monday Mint guest](https://twitter.com/BanklessHQ/status/1640394896963174401?s=20).

*Jim thinks Balaji is wrong*. He may think Bitcoin is going to $1M, but certainly not in 90 days. Jim is not only a pragmatic expert on macro, but also a crypto native. He knows how to farm yield on Yearn. He lends on Aave. But will he collect a podcast NFT?

We’ll find out on Monday. See you then. 🫡

*P.S. We’ll also be releasing Gauntlet Friday next week  – a free mint for collectors who hold all 5 Genesis Collection NFTs. Exclusive mint goes live on April 7th.*
