I'm proud to introduce “The Use-Case” a mini-series brought to you by Scenius Studio. Through Scenius Studio, I've interviewed 50 of the crypto industry’s top GPs and CIOs across liquid and private markets. One thing is clear, crypto has some savvy investors. Yet, both inside and outside the industry, the same question lingers: where are the real-world use-cases? We’ve built the infrastructure, but where are the apps? What commercial opportunities can blockchain and crypto uniquely unlock? Is speculation really the only game in town? With The Use-Case, we’re spotlighting underrepresented companies and protocols that are building real, commercially viable businesses—ventures that couldn’t exist without crypto’s underlying technology. We’ll sit down with Founders and CEOs who are reshaping industries with blockchain at their core. Crypto isn’t just an asset class. it’s an enabling technology rewiring entire sectors. In this first episode, I sit down with Bill Lakeland, Founder and CEO of @SpexiNetwork. Bill has worked in aerial imagery for 20 years and understands the world of drones better than anyone. He has built a robust business that sells aerial imagery to businesses and municipalities while incorporating various elements of crypto technology (DePIN, stablecoins, and NFTs). I hope you enjoy this conversation with Bill and this new mini-series concept. If you have any feedback on the show please reply below or send DM 💪
