John Salley and The Spark Network Built On Bitcoin
Reading Time: 4 minutes
NFTglee has partnered with John Salley in a meaningful move to own the rights, distribution, and ongoing value creation associated with his content and brand.
John Salley and NFTglee will launch The SPRK Network, built exclusively on Bitcoin, to unlock the freedom rights that have been taken by media conglomerates for decades. Celebrity tokens will now be associated with the ‘NIL’ (name, image, likeness) rights rather than unfair and upside-down contracts pilfered by Hollywood for far too long.
John Salley and Bitcoin
“Bitcoin is freedom. In consistently searching for avenues to empower myself and all of my friends, I’ve come to the conclusion that true ownership of our work is a must. Non- fungible tokens built on Bitcoin is the foundation of that opportunity.”
“Instead of intermediaries and entertainment industry roadblocks, I’ve found the key that unlocks the direct to consumer media and content model. The technology provides incredible upside and value to both the consumer and the creator – and more and more of us creators are beginning to see it.”
“I’m so excited to be a first mover in taking back what is ours… our work, our content, our names, ownership. And again, Bitcoin provides the rails by which we can connect directly with the public. I can’t wait to show everybody what’s to come!” – John Salley, 4- Time NBA Champion, Media Personality, and Wellness Advocate.
Name, Image, and Likeness NFT’s Surge
NFTglee’s newly hired President of Media and Entertainment, Jonah Hart, agrees with the explosion in NFT’s associated with content and media across the industry.
“The value proposition for the artist and their fans is unprecedented. I believe 2022 will prove to be a wave of mass adoption of NFT’s across the music and creator economy that will have labels and brands scrambling to keep up. The ability for artists to go directly to consumers with a remarkably better value proposition is powerful. John Salley and his network are on the cutting edge here, but we believe (and are already seeing) a wave of those like him ready to follow in his footsteps.”
The SPRK Network ‘Effect’ And Bitcoin
Building on Bitcoin continues to grab mindshare within celebrity and influencer communities. The Spark Network will capitalize on John Salley’s considerable talents; but also his ability to walk his celebrity colleagues through a narrative that allows them to be set free from the captivity of media conglomerates that do not have the artists’ best interest in mind.
The SPRK Network — which will be launched along with John’s partners, Greg Romano, Ross Mark, and Dr. Dan Ratner — is the first of its kind: a new streaming network that will be built exclusively on Bitcoin, to unlock the freedom rights that have been taken by media conglomerates for decades. Celebrity tokens will now be associated with the ‘NIL’ (name, image, likeness) rights rather than unfair and upside-down contracts pilfered by Hollywood for far too long. SPRK Network launches on 2/22/22 and will include channels on mind-body wellness, sports, cryptocurrency, education, documentaries, comedy specials, and original shows and movies.
“The SPRK Network is about making a one-to-one connection with consumers and fans, unlike anything that has been done in media. The artist is in complete control of their work, their revenue, and the ways in which they engage with consumers. The shackles are being removed here, and it’s so exciting.” – John Salley, 4-Time NBA Champion, Media Personality, and Wellness Advocate.
Specifically, The SPRK Network will issue NFT tokens directly to consumers that will give those individuals direct and unprecedented access to celebrities, artists, creators, and their content. Podcasts, AMA’s, reality tv series, concerts, appearances, experiences, and events – all facilitated by The SPRK Network token and series of tokens.
“We are passionate about giving creators and artists of every genre access to all of their value. No more friction, middlemen, or inflated costs. In many ways, this is the real-world application of ‘Bitcoin fixes this’ – a well-known phrase in the Bitcoin community. We are thrilled to have partnered with John Salley, whose been a voice of economic freedom in many areas.”
“We remain so impressed by his enthusiasm and energy to unlock incredible opportunities for his friends and colleagues across media and entertainment. 2022 is going to be a big year for NFT’s built on Bitcoin.” – Tillman Holloway, CEO NFTglee.

Precisely Continues to Expand Reach and Capabilities for Data Enrichment and Geo Addressing
New global Address Fabric™ and Property Attributes offerings help customers access unparalleled location-based insights, supercharged by the PreciselyID
BURLINGTON, Mass., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced further expansions in the global coverage and capabilities of its data enrichment and geo addressing portfolio. New additions to the Address Fabric and Property Attributes products underscore the company’s continued commitment to helping customers easily unlock greater location-based context from their data, enabled by its unique and persistent identifier, the PreciselyID.
Virtually every business worldwide captures and stores address information, with the average large business in the United States now estimated to store over 100 million unique addresses. However, navigating the inherent data integrity challenges is notoriously difficult, as it involves new buildings, changing street names, different country formats, and more.
Expanded Address Fabric Reach
Precisely customers can now access the Address Fabric dataset for Great Britain, France, and New Zealand – providing the most current and comprehensive lists of all known physical addresses across these countries. The new datasets expand Precisely’s existing coverage for the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Address Fabric data is easy to use with any database and analytics environment without needing specific geospatial expertise or tools. Customers can analyze address locations for various applications, including identifying new serviceable addresses, discovering new customers through look-a-like analysis, or selecting a site for new stores or network expansion opportunities.
Comprehensive Property Attributes Information
Precisely also announced the expansion of its Property Attributes products for the United States with 26 new attributes now available via integration with Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data. The MLS database of property listings is used by real estate agents to share information about homes currently on the market, including whether a property is affiliated with a Homeowner’s Association or if it’s considered a rental property.
With the latest updates, Property Attributes products now include over 230 different property information attributes across virtually every county located in the United States, providing a highly comprehensive view of a property and its key characteristics, such as details on land use, square footage, construction materials, and year built.
Address Fabric and Property Attributes leverage best-in-class geo addressing solutions from Precisely to provide the most accurate location information possible. Because each record is appended with a unique PreciselyID that remains persistent even when address elements change, customers can unlock greater value by enriching their data with additional information such as points of interest data, risk factors, demographics data, and much more.
“Precisely continues to be at the forefront of data enrichment and geo addressing solutions, enabling customers where they are on their data journey and supporting them with access to consistent location-based insights across their countries of operation,” said Dan Adams, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Data Enrichment at Precisely. “An essential element of data integrity, our unique PreciselyID makes address management and enrichment simple by eliminating time-consuming data preparation and augmenting insights with rich, relevant context.”
Precisely is renowned for its expertise in helping customers reveal maximum context from their data, with a comprehensive portfolio that includes over 400 datasets containing more than 9000 attributes. The company also recently joined the Overture Maps Foundation, founded by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom, providing guidance on location intelligence and data enrichment to help drive exciting new advancements in geospatial technology.
