Alright, welcome back to the doodle podcast, everyone. I’m Evan Hollis, and as always, I’m joined by Jill. Today, we’re putting doodles in the spotlight—specifically, Doodle NFTs. Jill, I feel like we’ve been circling this topic for a while, but now it’s really having a moment, isn’t it?Yeah, it’s wild. I mean, Doodle NFTs have kind of exploded, but what’s interesting is how they stand out from the sea of other digital collectibles. There’s this playful, almost nostalgic vibe, but also a real sense of community. It’s not just about the art—it’s about being part of something bigger.Exactly. And you know, I was looking at some of the recent sales—some of these Doodle NFTs are fetching, what, six figures? It’s not just hype; there’s genuine investor interest. I think it’s partly because they’re not just static images. There’s a story, a personality, and, well, a bit of that “scdoodle” spirit we keep talking about.Totally. And the way the Doodle project keeps evolving, it’s like you’re buying into a living, breathing universe. It reminds me of how, in our episode on AR doodles, we talked about art leaping off the page—here, it’s leaping onto the blockchain.That’s a good point. Actually, this might sound like a tangent, but stick with me—restoring antique radios is my thing, right? And I always think about how people used to collect these beautiful, physical objects. Now, it’s like we’re seeing the next evolution—collectibles that exist purely in the digital realm, but still spark that same sense of wonder. I mean, I never thought I’d see the day when a doodle on a screen would be as coveted as a 1930s radio, but here we are.I love that comparison. It’s like, the medium changes, but the urge to collect and connect with stories stays the same. And with Doodle NFTs, it’s not just about owning something rare—it’s about being part of a movement that’s still unfolding.So, let’s talk about where this could go. The Doodle NFT ecosystem is already playful, but there’s so much potential for more interactivity. Imagine if your Doodle NFT could unlock experiences, or even evolve based on what you do with it. We’re seeing hints of that with some projects, but I think Doodles are really set up for it.Yeah, and the collaborations! I mean, we’ve seen other NFT projects team up with brands or artists, but Doodles seem especially ripe for that. Like, what if your Doodle could wear a limited-edition hat from a real-world fashion collab, or show up in a game? It’s not that far-fetched.No, not at all. Actually, my first real “aha” moment with NFTs was during an interactive drop—this was a while back, and I remember thinking, “Wait, I can actually influence what I get?” It totally changed how I thought about digital ownership. Suddenly, it wasn’t just a JPEG in my wallet—it was something I could play with, shape, and even show off in new ways.That’s the magic, isn’t it? It’s not just about collecting, it’s about participating. And, you know, building on what we talked about in our episode on AI and doodles, there’s this sense that the boundaries are blurring—art, tech, community, all mixing together. It’s a bit messy, but in a good way.Yeah, and I think that messiness is where the innovation happens. The more Doodle NFTs experiment with interactivity and collaboration, the more they’ll stand out from the pack. It’s like, the possibilities are only limited by what the community can dream up.Speaking of community, that’s really the heart of it, isn’t it? The Doodle NFT scene feels different because the community actually has a say in where things go. There’s this collective governance thing happening—people voting on new features, deciding on collaborations. It’s not just top-down.Right, and that’s a big deal. But it also comes with challenges. I mean, the NFT market is, let’s be honest, pretty volatile. Prices swing, projects come and go. And then there’s the whole copyright question—like, who really owns what, and how do you keep things transparent when decisions are made by a big group?Yeah, and I think transparency is key. If the community’s going to steer the ship, everyone needs to know what’s happening behind the scenes. Otherwise, you get confusion, or worse, mistrust. I’ve seen other NFT projects struggle with that—promises made, then quietly dropped. Doodles seem to be doing better, but it’s always a risk.For sure. Compared to some other projects I’ve watched, the Doodle community feels more engaged, maybe because there’s this shared sense of playfulness and experimentation. But that doesn’t mean they’re immune to the same pitfalls—market hype, burnout, or just plain old disagreements about direction.Absolutely. And, you know, as we’ve seen in past episodes—like with the Doodle Challenge and those AR installations—when the community’s involved, things get more interesting, but also more complicated. It’s a balancing act.Yeah, and I think that’s what makes it exciting. The future of Doodle NFTs isn’t set in stone—it’s being shaped in real time by everyone who cares enough to show up and participate. That’s kind of the best part, even if it’s a little chaotic.Couldn’t agree more. Alright, I think that’s a good place to wrap for today. Doodle NFTs are definitely in the spotlight, and I have a feeling we’ll be revisiting this as things evolve. Jill, always a pleasure chatting with you.Same here, Evan. Thanks to everyone for listening—can’t wait to see what doodle magic happens next. See you next time!
