American digital artist and graphic designer Michael Winkleman, who professionally goes by Beeple, appeared on a recent iteration of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. Beeple is considered a ‘visionary visual artist at the forefront of NFT’s’ and he had a lot of insights to share with Rogan. Beeple is well known in the NFT sphere and his knowledge of the system is paramount.

In fact, during the course of their discussion, Beeple ended up gifting the UFC commentator with a one in a hundred NFT that he was involved with. To Joe Rogan’s surprise, he was gifted an NFT, which was number 61 out of a 100 that was modeled after Elon Musk. The non-interchangeable unit lit up with lights and captivated everyone in the studio.
