Sharing Secrets - Presented by Secret Network

Hosted by Enigma's Head of Growth Tor Bair, our fourth episode features Marguerite deCourcelle, aka coin_artist. Marguerite is the CEO and co-founder of Blockade Games, where she is helping design and build games that integrate blockchain and alternate reality components. Their first game is Neon District, an RPG set in a futuristic tech-noir landscape. On this episode, we talk about Marguerite's history designing puzzles and creating art, the role of games in driving blockchain adoption, the importance of collaboration, and how artists can and will contribute to building the future of decentralization. Enigma's new podcast "Decentralize This!" features guests from all over the decentralization space: developers, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, writers, artists, people in government and enterprise - all individuals who care deeply about building a more decentralized and sustainable world. How can all these people with different perspectives collaborate to create and scale the technologies we need to shape a better future? ---- Relevant links: Neon District: https://www.neondistrict.io Blockade Games: https://www.blockade.games Some of Marguerite's work: https://venturebeat.com/2015/04/09/an-artist-hid-4-87-bitcoins-in-this-painting-puzzle-triggering-a-frenzy-to-solve-it-and-claim-them/ Enigma: https://www.enigma.co Enigma Blog: https://blog.enigma.co Enigma Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/enigmampc
