She's my, she's my, no, we can't breathe a mouth, oh, my face.
She's my, no, nobody.
She's my, no, no, we can't breathe a mouth, oh, my face. ะัะพะดะพะปะถะตะฝะธะต ัะปะตะดัะตั... All right, let's get started.
Good afternoon.
Good evening. Good evening. Good morning.
Good morning. It's a great morning. I see Tommy's out there. I see Gummy. Oh, please come up and
speak and we'll invite others to speak too. This is a great morning. Can you hear me, Mark?
Loud and clear. Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you. I think Solzaki might have cut out just a little bit.
Okay.
Hey, welcome everyone. Just real quick as we get this space going, I just want to see if anyone else is having these troubleshooting issues.
When I go to the energy page, I do not see a purple circle around energy. Do you guys see that when you go to the energy page?
I did see it in the beginning, but I will say I don't, I do see it.
Yes, I do see the purple circle around energy.
Okay, cool, cool.
I do, it came now.
That is so weird.
Okay, the other thing I want to ask you guys is when we make these spaces, isn't it supposed to put like a tweet out that then we can like like and retweet? I did not see that on the last space. And I don't see it here either. Like, where's the where's the like and retweet button?
Tommy, we've been having problems with that. Twitter's been glitching. I actually was in a blockchain all last week. And it wasn't just a space, but it was other spaces too. I'm not sure. I think Gummy had also mentioned that Twitter was having some problems. So I know the retweet button, I hadn't seen it even last week, at least for myself. So I actually go to the page and try to retweet that way or share a link, then retweet.
So it hasn't been working very well.
I noticed it was missing on our last space last week too, but is it missing for other
spaces or are we doing something wrong here?
That's what I'm trying to figure out because that's a critical piece of it.
We got to be pushing those likes and retweets.
Does anybody know?
Has anyone been in other spaces?
And I feel like I've been in other spaces and seen it there so i don't know if
we're doing something wrong
i know yesterday for yanda space um i was in another space uh
early morning and it was hard for me to retweet that space eventually i was able
to retweet but it took a moment and that was like at eight o'clock in the
morning eastern standard time i just don't even see the option for it um yeah like that is so weird like what like where where
you can't drop comments here all i see is a i wonder if it has something to do with how we're
setting up the space you know or if like our accounts bugged out or the whole thing's bugged
out i don't know but you'm trying to figure it out.
Could it be a refresh of the actual app?
Because when Twitter has an app update, if you don't update that app, it will restrict you from certain functions.
So I'm not sure if maybe a phone needs to be updated, whoever's tweeting out the energy space.
That could be a potential problem i've
noticed i've had problems with that before too and i say check your twitter to make sure the
update actually took place i know some people have an automatic update mine doesn't automatically
update all the time but i am on a droid not an apple phone so good call on that thank you gabby
uh mark make a note please to make sure to update and uh let's let's figure
it out before the next space because i know i fixed it tommy uh i think i was in the spaces
earlier they were having the same issue all they did was tweeted their spaces link and
pinned it on the top of the channel so you can okay that's that's like a band-aid though but i
want to solve the problem definitively so yeah that's a good band-aid but like let's solve the problem definitively so before the next space let's uh figure it out so yeah because
there's still no where do we write like on the bottom right hand side there's supposed to be
like comments and all the stuff like we don't have that right so i don't want to keep doing
spaces like this so let's make sure that we figure it out before the next space gabby made a great
point that maybe your phone needs to be updated,
that you're running him off of, or I don't know what.
Let's troubleshoot it and figure it out.
I was on a space, I feel like, within the past week or two,
and it had all the โ because he asked for a comment and a like, and I did.
Through a comment and like and retweet.
But we don't have those options.
It hurts our engagement if we don't have those,
and a lot of people are going to miss out on our spaces because they don't you know and they're
not going to be able to ask questions as easily and all that stuff so anyway i see it posted on
the energy account so if you guys would go ahead and throw a like and retweet on that post and a
comment too and uh that will do for today. Before the next space, though,
let's make sure we just have it working properly
so people can do comments directly here.
Mark, are you there?
Yeah, I'm here, Gabby.
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you.
Yeah, just I will coordinate with you on our usual channel regarding the spaces.
Mark, you got to make me a co-host too.
So I don't know if you're going to, you should use the Energy account because you have access on that.
Use that as a host.
You don't need to add your other account as a co-host because I don't know if you can have that many co-hosts, but
I need to be a co-host so I can add speakers
and stuff. Looks like DeFi Pizza
really wants to say something.
It's like waving like mad.
So why don't you invite him up to see what
he wants to say?
I know I've tried to add
people, but it seems like it's not allowing me to add.
So I don't keep trying to add and accept the request.
Mark, I'm not sure if you can.
All right.
Hey, DeFi Pizza, I see you on the stage.
What's up?
Hello, hello.
Hello, sir. Can you hear me?
Hey, yes, yes. What's up?
Sir, ask my question.
Well, did you have something relevant to what we're talking about?
Or are you just going to throw something random out there you're like waving like mad what's what why
yeah yeah
okay okay man guys come on man please uh what is this what is this every time we invite people
they're just like they're like what do did you โ Like, hey, pick me.
Pick me.
Pick me.
Pick me.
Pick me.
And then you bring them up and they're like, oh, hey, guys.
They're just like, what are you guys doing?
What?
You guys crack me up.
I swear, I'm going to expect that from now on.
Look, if you have something relevant, say something relevant.
If you're just going to come, like, try to take things down your own flow. We're trying to figure out the spaces right now first, man.
I thought you had something to say about that.
Sounds like you just wanted to say something else.
But we'll get to you later on, man.
We're not at questions yet.
Hey, Tommy, we have a guest within us.
Actually, Sulu Zaki invited to their space, or to us, them to our spaces.
It's the salty sharks, and i have given them a mic today
what's up salty sharks good evening guys how are we we're doing good how are you
mate sensational thanks for the invite to be along i appreciate it
sensational. Thanks for the invite to be along. I appreciate it.
Yeah, for sure. Good to have you here. Okay. So yeah, let's kick things off then, huh? All right.
It's like markets rallying really nice right now in some ways, which is nice. All right. Well,
yeah. Where should we kick things off? Mark, where do you want to start? Can you get me as a co-host, Mark? Can we do this?
I need to be a co-host, man.
I was, I ping Gabby to make you a co-host.
Does it have a limit?
Let me check, okay?
I think it's limited to two.
Can't you just like speak through the energy count?
Why do you need to use what i'm gonna do is i'm just gonna uh uh i'm gonna remove myself as a co-host and then you can also drop
down tommy and then uh i'll just uh uh go as a speaker okay all right need to drop down he can
just be made co-host from speaker but is there a limit to how many co-hosts though i thought there is there
is a limit to two but you don't need to drop down from speaker you can stay as a speaker once he
drops out you can then be a co-host okay thank you gabby can you make me coast um i'm trying to
but i want to say i think energy has to because i'm actually looking at and i only have the option
to remove you from speaker uh remove you, and block and remove.
I don't have any other option to invite you as a co-host.
There we go.
I'm a co-host, baby.
Let's go.
I made it.
Rock and roll.
We're going to make it, guys.
Wag me.
No, no, just drop the โ we've got to be careful with the wag me part.
We're just going to make it. It's just the wag me part. We're just gonna make it
It's just gonna make it
Some people are not gonna make it, but we're gonna make it. You know i'm saying
That's right. We're gonna make it you know
Uh this morning it was happy june 1st. Let me just tell everybody that it's a new month new things happening
And so it's a great day. So happy international children's day
I learned a fun fact. I actually woke up this morning and I made breakfast, did my prayer, whatever. And then I was hungry for history this month. And so I just wanted to share. It's International Children's Day. And it was coined in 1949. It was established for protection of children by the Women's International Democratic Federation in Moscow.
So women are making their mark and have always been making their mark.
So I thought I'd share that today.
Just a fun factoid and something always new happening in our world and learning something new.
So if you get up this morning feeling great, it's June 1st.
Happy summer commencement, at least for the northern hemisphere.
The southern hemisphere is
getting ready to experience uh some uh winter right now so uh super excited for the summer
i'm not sure how everybody else feels but uh today's a great day and tommy how is it over in
your your hemisphere man right on yeah talk about it huh i always have good vibes associated with
june june is just a good month.
So welcome to June, everybody. Hope you guys have a great summer.
You know, like we write in the yearbooks.
Hags. You guys remember that?
Have a great summer, guys.
Yeah, welcome to summertime.
No, life is good here.
I'm still in Bangkok and honestly just love this city.
Just love it here. So it's nighttime here. It's 9. this city. Just love it here.
So it's nighttime here.
It's 9.30 p.m. over here.
But I'm doing good.
Yeah, God bless.
A lot to be grateful for.
Always got to count our blessings, right?
I was just doing a little gratitude practice myself early today. And I was like, man, like for the tools we all have for basically for free for AI or $10 a month for Abacus AI, which gives you all the AIs, you know, for $10 a month.
Like, holy cow.
Like, we are so blessed.
We got to count our blessings.
I think none of us are as grateful as we should be.
I think none of us are a tenth as grateful as we should be
i'll say that not even a tenth you know like maybe like there's some like extracurricular
beings looking at us being like dude these these humans are so ungrateful you know seriously they're
like how ungrateful could you be they're just like they're just like wow like the way we look at like
animals and we're like man animals are so basic they're probably looking at wow. The way we look at animals and we're like, man, animals are so basic.
They're probably looking at us the same way.
I think about that sometimes.
I think about that sometimes.
So anyway, we should all be so grateful.
And I think gratitude is what draws a lot to you.
I'm a big believer in that.
The universe likes people who are grateful, rewards people who are grateful.
So make sure to do your gratitude practice and count your blessings for the beginning
of the month, man.
June 1st.
What about you, Salty?
What do you think?
Mate, animals have a lot to teach us, but you're right.
We know we're near as grateful as we should be.
So, um, but I love the fact that it's, um, international children's day.
That's, that's actually fantastic.
And it ties in really nicely with everything that we're about.
So I quite like that.
It's June 2nd here, unfortunately, because we're already โ
it's already 12.30 in the morning.
But it's winter down here.
But, yeah, it's been an amazing year.
It's going to be an incredible second half of the year too.
So you are, must be, okay, you're in the Southern Hemisphere.
So would that make that Australia possibly?
Spot on, that's it.
Oh yeah, yay!
This is always something great to hear.
And also that International Children's Day
actually coincides with what you're working
on. So I will let you have the stage and talk and glad that you're here. So yeah, please share.
Well, thank you. Yeah, look, it's a long journey. So I'm going to try and summarize.
We launched our Web3 branded project back in November, sorry in September 21.
So we've been around a long time in this space and it's been an incredible journey for us.
But we're an education and entertainment brand.
We're focused on marine species conservation
and our major platform is an education platform
for schools, homeschool families, distance education, online learning.
That's available now globally.
We are delivering education resources into the United States,
United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Greece.
And this month in June, we also start in india as well so we have uh yeah we've got a lot of virtual world education resources we use ai to generate
project-based learning activities that tie into our virtual world education resources. And we all started with our Salty Sharks Uprising NFT collection,
which was our crowdsourcing funding for the platform that we built.
And obviously there's a lot behind that.
That's just a snapshot high-level overview.
But yeah, it's a fun world and it's a fun industry to be in.
And I'm proud to be a Web3 origin business success story.
That's wonderful to hear.
So you said you've been around a long time.
So when did your project start?
And thank you for sharing where you have migrated to or where your project is reaching many educational systems.
So how long have you been around?
We started in September of 2021.
Hey, so I'm looking at you guys on Polygon.
We are now on Polygon.
We originally launched on Ethereum and then we migrated to Polygon.
And so we're currently on Polygon.
The collection has sold out obviously a while ago now. launched on Ethereum and then we migrated to Polygon. And so we're currently on Polygon.
The collection has sold out, obviously a while ago now. And we're one of these people that we do things a little bit differently. We've never been into the hype and FOMO of this space,
not even back in the heyday of 2021. We always were focused on organic growth and sustainable growth so that's been
a hallmark of who we are and we also don't release collection after collection after collection we
released our genesis collection we released our comics as nfts the first two comics but a very limited supply um and we're focused on you know making our nft collection and
our holders uh as stakeholders in our brand and our business so our nft holders uh share in the
profits of our education business which is fantastic for them well Well, I love what you're doing, man.
That's cool.
You guys are standing up for a good cause.
How familiar are you with our marketplace, by the way?
Going to make it?
I'm not amazingly familiar, sorry to say.
That's okay.
I had a bit of a look at it, and this was going back a while ago.
I had a bit of a look at it, actually.
So I know you guys have been around a while as well.
So I'm interested in obviously learning more.
Well, right on.
Well, yeah, we'll fill you in a little bit,
and we will get on Polygon sooner or later.
By the way, news for everyone.
If you don't know, we are just pretty much in the process
of expanding to ApeChain right now.
You can actually see ApeChain already on our marketplace,
getting collections uh added
there so we are we're kind of an aggressive phase of multi-chain expansion so we will be on polygon
soon enough but we'll bring in those zero percent zero percent marketplace fees while honoring
royalties what a concept i know i know it's crazy we must be madmen we actually pay royalties while not charging
marketplace fees huh that's pretty unique that's pretty unique indeed and on top of that too by the
way this is this is the kicker you guys um i'll go into this a little bit later in this in this uh
conversation but man oh man i have been tuning up the GMI tokenomics and I'm so grateful for AI
because I really wouldn't have anyone to talk to about this if it wasn't for AI.
Because, you know, actually I did talk to Mark.
Me and Mark worked through some tokenomics stuff like, man, back like, it was like a
It was like a year and a half ago, man.
year and a half ago, man.
We were like innovating then, like breaking through grounds then.
We were like innovating then, like breaking through grounds then.
But the place our tokenomics is now for GMI is like some next level shit, you know, for lack of a way to say it, man.
We are on next level with this stuff.
So I'd love for you in your community to be able to earn some GMI.
I think we'll be on โ we should be on Polygon before the TGE so you guys can plug in, earn some GMI.
You can actually earn some GMI still without us being on Polygon.
It could do various things.
You should get yourself some GMI because, yeah, we are โ
I think if you have a good marketplace plus good tokenomics,
that's how you're supposed to do it.
That's what you're supposed to do.
Duh.
But you see these other guys come out out and then they might do an okay marketplace and
then they tokenomics, just drop the ball. Just leave the billions on the table. Just, just send
it to Mars. Just cause we don't, you know, who needs billions of dollars anyway, right? Like why,
why would you actually want to give a token to people that is actually worth a lot? I don't know.
Crazy concepts.
Today we're talking about crazy concepts.
That's the theme of the conversation today.
Crazy concepts.
Huh.
Why would you want to give something to people that's actually valuable?
Why would you want to give something to people that actually goes up in price?
What a concept.
Anyway.
Sorry, guys.
I'm in a sarcastic mode.
I think it's nighttime for me, dude.
And props to you for getting on this call at midnight
We're coming in the same we're in the same zone, but you're farther along than me. You know, you're not far behind if you're in Bangkok
That's for sure
Well, right on let's uh, let's hand in more people to say what's up
Fox and how you doing over there?
I'm doing fantastic fantastic this energy is just
absolutely lit man i had to pop in here let's go and can i ask my question
yes of course are you gonna ask a random question
no no we gotta properly troll um tell me I was just going to say, why is GMI so good? I had to troll for a second, man.
No, no, we got to properly troll.
Tell me why your project is different than the others.
We sell gum. So.
And, oh man, I don't know.
I'm too tired for this right now.
But yeah, yes, yes.
And actually, actually, Eric, please do.
You have some recent updates, I know.
So please fill us in.
I know you've been working on some stuff in the background.
Yeah, no, actually, I'm not going to show, man.
But no, for sure, obviously, we got guns in the United States.
I've been in the plants here locally in Idaho.
Hopefully, we get this gun made in Idaho.
Regardless, it's going to be made in the Pacific Northwest. It's going to go to market soon. I had a little thing going on yesterday at GMI. It looks
like Mark and somebody else capitalized on it that you bought a gum innovation and a tea on GMI
specifically. I'm going to mail you a pack of gum for every purchase you've made. So kind of cool
stuff. But just, you know, trying trying to incentivize but also bring value there's
already a tremendous amount of value on gmi just by itself regardless of what i do and that's the
beauty of it too that's what i'm talking about well if you guys haven't uh got a gummy invasions nft
i don't know why you don't have one yet because the gummy invasions NFTs are benefiting from the GMI airdrop.
You know, talk about stack and easy GMI.
Man, I will say everyone who stacked up GMI until now, you guys are smart.
I'll say that.
You guys are smart.
So they can get rewarded.
So it's been for how much we've been rewarding people for the activities they've done is pretty phenomenal.
Factor, just to throw it in your mind, right?
Like think that the GMI tokens are selling for have and paired with our tokenomics, what it can be worth.
So so, yeah, I'm going to talk to you know, it may be even more important than the actual
application, which I think you got to have a good application plus good token. I think that's the
killer combination. But man, again, if you do a great marketplace, but you don't have tokenomics,
man, I'll tell you what, this space today, it's something I learned from a marketing friend of mine who's like a big head of marketing in the space.
And he actually helped me really see it, that people want to be rewarded in this space.
You can't go to people and just ask them to do stuff for free.
You have to give them something and ideally something of value.
But you got to give them something.
That's just how the space is. That's just how the space is.
It's just how the space is.
Don't try to swim a river.
Just try to follow the flow, right?
So let people earn something valuable
for their contributions.
And if you merge good marketplace
plus good tokenomics,
I think that's the move.
So yeah, we'll talk more about that.
Let me talk less.
I want to let more people talk.
Mark, I'll let you come in here and direct a little bit.
Go for it.
Pass it off to you.
Uh-oh, Mark, are you there?
Yep, I'm here, guys.
Sorry.
Can you repeat that?
Yeah, I just want to pass it off to you.
I haven't heard from you a second.
Oh, no, Tommy.
I'm just coordinating with all of our devs.
You know what happened in the last two days.
I want to give a shout out to, you know, all our devs that work like tireless in the last
two days, but still the job isn't done.
We have a lot of things to cover but I'm pretty excited.
I want to give a shout out to Christian, Phillip and Mike and Alvin as well from our team.
They've been working tirelessly.
Got the Ape Chain live in time and I was like pushing them like you
know hey when is this where is this where is this where is this it was fun but it was great to see
everything go live yeah but the job is not done yet you know we've just started it like you know
they started the engine so the next phase is the growth phase tommy
and really excited about uh the new tokenomics as we and me and you were discussing
um and how it brings value to the newer chains as well um hope the audience will learn learn more
about uh that from you tommy and really um i'm i'm actually not a financial advice, but I'm just waiting for the
LP bonds, Tommy. LP bonds, man. We're going to hit on it. I don't want to do it quite yet. I
want to like, I don't know. Let's talk a little more about other stuff, but we are going to talk
about that a little bit. LPp bonds but i'll just say right
here brand new invention which yours truly have invented has invented um what are lp bonds lp
bonds are you when you take a liquidity position right so everyone's familiar with liquidity
position right go on uniswap and you put some
ETH and USDC or whatever, right? You get two coins, put them together, put them in Uniswap,
boom. And now you have a liquidity position and you're getting a yield from that. Fantastic.
Oh, the case. Great. Everyone's caught up so far. We've all done that before.
All right. So here's the problem. The problem is the age-old
problem in crypto of how do you get people to not sell? How do you get people to hold on to their
coins? And you actually take that a little further because sometimes some coins have some degree
of lockup mechanisms. However, most of the time they're not doing liquidity.
They're just doing like they'll have their token and maybe it's staked and locked up for a year.
But it's not really providing liquidity then.
And so LP bonds are where you're providing that liquidity, like say through Uniswap, right?
And then you get an NFT back after V3 with Uniswap started giving you an NFT, right?
Okay, so you get an NFT back.
And then now you take this NFT that you got from Uniswap, okay?
This LP, and you lock it into a smart contract.
And now you get back what's called an LP bond.
Boom shakalaka. I that what's up all right and then so the idea here is that um you're adding liquidity
and those positions cannot be sold now here's a beautiful thing like let's say you do this and
you want to exit your position you can do it you can sell the
bond on on on our marketplace right we have an NFT month no kick him off off you go damn it come on
you guys show some respect some of these people man no was talking. It just comes up and interrupts me.
Mark,
we got to like somehow filter these guys.
What are they thinking?
What are you,
what are you thinking?
I'm talking,
dude.
Tommy,
can I do a little injunction for the crowd in the audience?
Those have the mic.
Yeah,
yeah,
go ahead.
Okay,
guys.
Okay.
If you have any questions regarding our project about energy or anything,
just put it,
drop it in the comment section.
And if you're on the speaker panel, we'll broadcast your question and, you know, we'll let you ask the question.
But if you are being given a mic and, you know, just like how Salty Sharks did, right?
They took the mic, we invited them, and they introduced themselves.
So please introduce yourself, what you do, who you are, why you are actually in the spaces here.
So please be cognizant about that.
Just jumping in a question, it's like me going to randomly on a street and like, dude, who are you?
So let's have some uh space um courtesy here so
if you are here with the mic and you want to speak uh just raise your hands uh we'll pass
on the mic to you just one time is enough um and uh if you're given the opportunity to speak please
make sure you introduce yourself who you are what you're doing and if you have any questions please
drop it in the comment section okay so we can we can answer them immediately. All right, Tommy, over to you. Sorry. Just, just, yeah,
that's okay. Just common courtesy, you guys, right? If I'm, if I'm driving and someone wants
to come in, I'm courteous enough to let that person come in. Right. And if I'm speaking here
on stage and I'm a CEO of the project, maybe it's a good idea to show a little courtesy and not jump in the middle of my conversation and say whatever random crap you're
saying. Just a thought, just an idea. It's just an idea. Consider it. Please consider it.
All right. Okay. Let's go back to my cutting edge innovation. I lost my train of thought.
What are we talking about? Talking about LP bonds. Yeah, yeah. It's
like, listen, let me make this simple for you guys because it's so, I was literally studying
another pro. I always like to study projects to see what they're doing because I always,
you know, you never, the reason I'm still improving and innovating it is because,
you know, they say once you, you always got
to be humble, man.
Whenever you're not humble, then your feet are too big for the bed.
I don't know exactly how that phrase goes.
Something like that, right?
You always got to be humble, man.
And you're never going to be perfect.
And there's always room for improvement.
And I'm a big believer in that.
And that's the reason why the tokenomics that we've built, that AI, O3, and Claude are both already rating
it as the top tokenomics they've ever seen out of any project. That's why they're still saying,
huh, you're still actually making it better. Because I myself never think I've built something
perfect. I think perfection, I think it's, if you guys did calculus, it's like you're approaching infinity, you know, but the difference between infinity and approaching infinity is enormous.
And that's the point.
You can be approaching infinity like it's like the graph, right?
You got like the 90 degree corner graph and like the curved line approaching the top line.
It's like approaching infinity.
But then you zoom in and it's like still so far from infinity. That's,
that's how I feel about improving your skillset.
So like, it doesn't matter how good you are.
There's still a ton of room for improvement.
Just like I was saying earlier,
like none of us are nearly as grateful as we should be. I don't think,
I don't think any, I think the world,
the average person is probably one 100th as grateful as they should be. Maybe, maybe one 1,000. I don't think any, I think the world, the average person is probably one 100th
as grateful as they should be. Maybe one 1,000th. I don't know. Something obscene. We all have a lot
of room for improvement. And so I think that humility is necessary to be that way. Anyway,
so along those train of thoughts, I talked to you guys about the three flywheels that are driving the gmi token uh in
the past call again we'll talk more about tokenomics later on in this but i did want to
really just um iterate the uh what we're doing with these lp bonds is all the partnerships we're
going to be establishing with these chains we are going to have partnerships with these chains
and um you know basically pairing a gmi partnerships with these chains and, you know,
basically pairing a GMI token with their token and creating pools with them. So what's essentially
going to happen is those, like, let's just call it blockchain A, just to keep it simple, right?
So blockchain A has a token. We put our token with them paired up. And now all the people from their blockchain are going to be getting
you know whatever say two three hundred percent apy uh again it's locked up in that lp bond for
six and a half six point nine years excuse me it's going to be locked up in that bond but it's very
high apy so what it's going to actually do is it's going to suck up a lot of their coins it's going
to vacuum the float of their coin as well as the gmi and so we'll be doing this uh this is essentially like a fourth flywheel i talked to you guys about
the three flywheels last time this is a fourth flywheel so the demand for gmi is going to be
through the roof from all corners of the space all the blockchains we partner with will be doing this
and this is how you do tokenomics you guys And you compare that to the tokenomics elsewhere that you see. And man, they're just making the rookie mistakes. I was, again, studying a token earlier today. And they just did a basic thing where they're doing staking, right? And they're doing a high APY.
making, right? And they're doing a high APY, but then they're releasing the coin that they're
doing that high APY for. And you go look at their chart and the chart's just like flushing and just
down, down, down. Why it's obvious to those of us who know tokenomics, it's because they're
releasing all the supply in the market by allowing people to get like, say they get 100% APY, but
half the people are going to go dump that.
That's just human nature.
And so they go dump that and the price goes down.
And as the price goes down, there's less incentive to go earn that token through their
application.
And it's, it's fatal for the project.
I repeat that.
It is fatal for the project.
It's fatal for the project.
Okay.
That's how important tokenomics is.
Okay. So that's why you got to do tokenomics right so so so important and so that's the reason why i've polished it
over and over and over and over and i won't quit polishing it until until we release it and even
then if i still can i still will but you know until we release it it's still continuing to
be polished and again those of you guys who have earned it you know um congratulations to everyone who's earned gmi so far because you
know you guys are stacking it up again if you haven't earned some gmi go get you some gmi and
yeah i think that's uh that's good for now on the tokenomics front but just just i will say like man we are
going to get um there's going to be a lot of uh liquidity sinks for gmi a lot of gmi is going to
get sucked off the market and it's going to be off the market for 6.9 years and that supply is going
to be tight i'll tell you that you guys it's going to be. So hold on to your GMI tight.
Thank you, Tommy, for that.
I see we have Calvin coming up to request.
But I'll also say we have, I'm trying to bring Calvin up and I can't seem to approve.
I don't know what's going on with my approval.
There he is, but I also
want to recognize Bad Eight Billiards
and say hi to DeFi Pizza.
We'll come back around again to you guys, but I think if this question is related to
what Tommy was just talking about, go ahead, Calvin.
Are you there? Is he speaking? I'm sorry, I can't hear him.
No, I can't hear him. What's up, Calvin? Can you hear us?
He might be having an issue on his end.
Okay, you might want to take a lap or we can bring you back up and connect.
up and connect um in the meantime i see a uh kit is a kit see vito or something i wanted to say
hi to you too but i also wanted to go back over to uh salty uh had their hand up for a question
salty sharks go ahead yeah not so much a question guys it's just that uh it's what it is 1am here
and i'm gonna get the kids up up for school in a few hours,
so I'm going to have to jump off.
No, Salty, you've got to stay.
You join the space.
You have to stay the whole time.
I know.
I'd love to.
I would love to.
I'm just giving you crap, dude.
I'm just giving you crap.
You're the man, dude.
Thanks for joining.
Thanks for joining us.
That's a pleasure.
I'll be popping more often and can't wait to follow what you're doing.
Great work.
Thanks, Salty.
We'll catch you later.
See you.
Take care, guys.
Take care. Take care. I'll see you're doing. Great work. Thanks, Salty. We'll catch you later. See you. Take care, guys. Take care.
I'll see you guys.
Hey, guys.
Guys, guys, guys.
Next time, we got a troll.
Salty, I love you, by the way, if you're still listening.
But next time, I just want we all chime in and just be like, no, you can't leave.
Like, no, you can't.
Don't leave us.
I don't know.
I mean, that's just me. We can't keep people hostage, right? Or can we don't leave us. I don't know
Being hostage we can't keep people hostage right or can we we can try we can try
I see we have Calvin back up the speaker I'm in
Kizito we'll come back to you. I think Calvin might have had a question from Tommy's last remark about the LP bond.
Calvin, go ahead.
Hopefully you all can hear me and I'm not being held captive in the space.
Okay.
I see Gabby emoting, so I guess you all can hear me. Before I get rugged out again, building and innovations, hand clap, shout out and kudos to everyone just thinking of making improvements.
I understand exactly what you're saying, Tommy. For those who are familiar or not, providing liquidity, originally Uniswap, when you have V1, V2, V3, we get to NFTs and V3s.
And they had that same similar technology on like the Aerodrome finance decks the velodrome finance
decks as far as the bond um and the the yield would participants be able to portion the lives
their liquidity or would it be like an all-in factor, like 100% of what is provided can be locked, staked, or whatever,
so have you, for the incentive? Or could we portionalize our position?
Yeah, that's a great question. Someone actually asked that last time, so that's a great question.
I think to start things off, the way we'll recommend people to do it is to make your position as uh you know like
split it up so like if you know maybe like maybe make a handful of them like 10 of them going into
it because they won't they aren't designed initially to be broken up but but this is a big
but which is definitely doable those positions should be able to be split or something like uh i don't see
why we couldn't create a technology that essentially um splits it however i'm thinking about the actual
nft on uniswap i don't know we could explore it i would like the idea if we could like split it
split positions um but that's a great question calvin um so yeah to repeat uh initially uh we don't have that
capability but i think in the future it it uh it could be possible it's on on our side it definitely
is doable what i'm just thinking kind of thinking out loud about is uh the uniswap nft because one
position is tied to one of those uniswap nfts right and if you split it up how
do you do that i don't know there might be a way i'll have to consult the all-knowing ai and see
if it has a solution for me that's a great idea though no for sure and always make sure that you
have a backup agent to vet your agent um if anything even with the examples that I gave, not every single pool can be portionalized for the staking slash locking or unstaking slash unlocking.
It seems as though, I don't want to give you like a wild theory, but it seems as though stable pools more so. Now, mind you, volatile pools can be portionalized as well through these examples of the Velodrum and the Aerodrum Finance decks.
But not every single pool is portionalized.
And sometimes you are mandated to stake or unstake 100% of your position.
So that's when there'll be multiple deposits, multiple positions, or you can take that one deposit, one position and just, I don't know, maybe, maybe wait.
So that's when there be multiple deposits, multiple positions.
For those that want to see how it works, like we have DGINs, but we also have savvy investors.
Anything new is subsequently risky.
It was the same for ETFs.
So work the system, Tommy.
It's no pressure.
It's not even, as we say in my neck of the woods,
keeping up with the Joneses, be at your own pace.
But think about it.
Try it.
Yeah, for sure.
I think that will probably be inevitable. I'll have to explore it. One thing I will say, though, is, you know, as I've learned as a builder is, you know, just get the thing out in the most basic form that you can, you know, which we're kind of trying to do. And then like, let's kind of get it rolling. And then as like the demand starts rolling in, then we can look at like optimizing, improving, da-da look at like optimizing improving like kind of go down that road um so yeah just uh just thought because there's always like the to-do
list is endless man you know that's always something I always say the to-do list never
ends it just gets longer and then you just have to like basically cut stuff out so it's like well
what is the most pressing stuff what is the 80 20, 20? What's the top 20% that's going to drive the results? So I triage everything through that pretty much.
You got to do things at the right time. One thing I'll say too, I really like this analogy from
trading. You could be right, but you could be at the wrong time, but then you're wrong.
If you're right at the wrong time, you're still wrong.
It's like you got to do the right, you got to be right, and then you got to be right at the right
time. That's something I've learned. If you're doing things at the wrong time, you're wrong.
I learned that through experience. Trust me, I got my butt kicked a little bit.
Anyway. Tommy, I want to say just one thing based on the
economy and things that are going on it's really nice to have options no joke
because there's you know things are tight for some people and so to have
options because I will say one thing I can't stand when I have to unstake
everything because I want to see the actual projects grow so I don't want to
unstake everything if I could just unstake a portion, that would be awesome. Oh no, we're muted.
Whoopsie daisy. I don't know if I did it. Are we okay? I think you did it. Oh no, we're back.
I'm just saying it's great to have options in an economy like this.
Like you said, the right time or the wrong time to do things.
I think it's absolutely great to have options so that everybody can participate.
More people, you know, drives the ability for more people to invest.
So it's super great.
And I actually like it.
I don't like when I have to unstake everything because I want to keep the system going, whichever, whether it's GMI, whether it's, you know, whatever ecosystem that I'm in.
But unstaking 100% of everything, that's just not my favorite.
I can't lie to you.
But, yeah, exploring options is always great.
But I see we have hands up, and I said I would go around.
And thank you so much for putting your hands up.
So, Kezito, I think that's your name.
Sorry, go ahead.
Just jumping real quick.
Yeah, Gabby.
So on that note too, again, we can always,
we can always, okay, thank you.
We can always have people like set up 10,
you know, they can break it up themselves.
So they can do like 10 different liquidity positions before they get into it. So if they do that,
it gives them kind of the freedom. And then you can always buy another one too, right? If you had
a big position and you sell it, then you could always like buy one that's half the size or
smaller. So that's the beauty of having a marketplace, right? So if there was, if your
position was too big, you want to size down, it could sell your
position and pick up another one. So there are a couple of workarounds. It's not like it's
completely like a frozen landscape. And I would just look at OpenSea years ago. If you look at
OpenSea in 2021, there was no bidding. There were no bids. If you wanted to sell NFTs, you had to
sell them one at a time, right? There was no mass listing.
There was no mass that.
And that was already something that was having, you know, billions of dollars flow through there.
And, you know, with how basic the features were.
So all I'm saying is, like, as we grow, we'll add the features.
But, you know, we don't want to worry about adding every bell and whistle right now.
It's more about, like, let's get it going.
Let's get the demand there.
Let's get it.
And then we can always, once we have billions of dollars in demand,
we can optimize it.
So I just want to say that.
Yes, thank you, Tommy.
It's good to hear that you want to get it out and going,
and we'll consider other options as well as our alternatives.
So we appreciate that. I do see other hands up and i said kazito we would
go over to you how are you welcome are you there
I have a question.
My question is, how does energy plan to scale renewable energy initiatives like the crypto
energy projects to offset the environmental impact of crypto mining?
And what specific goals are you aiming? Hey, Kizito.
Can I please
ask you to do one thing? Can you introduce
yourself so we know who you are
and also the audience know?
And also, if you have the questions regarding
energy, can you please drop it in the comment
section and then I'll answer
it there.
All right.
I just wrote the question in the comment section.
Thank you, Kezito.
Thank you so much.
I am looking for that question.
I don't happen to see it at the current moment,
so maybe it will show up.
I'm not sure, Mark, if you can see the question, but I don't actually see a question in the comment section yet. Okay.
Actually, the question is, I dropped it over the 10 minutes ago.
Okay. Maybe my screen needed to to refresh i'll take a look again
yeah gabby will be looking out for that question and answering him in the comment section
thank you mark and us all we also have the hand up of uh defy pizza hi how are you welcome
Hi, how are you? Welcome.
Make sure to introduce yourself. Don't jump on the questions.
Hello, sir. Can you hear me now?
Yes, you can.
Okay, sir. My question is, what does community feedback play in the development of your project?
My question is.
Can you put your question in the comment section and I'll answer you there.
Okay, okay, okay.
Thank you, thank you.
And thank you everybody for coming up.
Just kind of reiterate what Mark said.
You know, when you come up, we would like for you to introduce yourself.
Kind of let us know who you are.
And if you have any questions, please feel free to post them in the comment section
Give me a DM
I hope if I can't see it and definitely try to answer your questions there
But I also wanted to say good morning and hi to bad a billiards
What's going on?
How are you this morning?
Or evening?
Good morning. Good morning. Thank you, Gabby and everybody up here.
Great to be on the space. Man, so many exciting things going on. Exciting stuff to be shared with
us this morning from Tommy. And I got to say, between all that, I've shot Mark a few messages.
It sounds like they've been super busy and he's responded to all of them. So kudos to the energy
team for keeping up on everything. But for those who don't know, I'm Kel Gwok or Cody. I'm a member of the
Bad A Billiards team and we're proud to say we're minting right now on GMI. And I should throw
something up in the nest, but we've been, it's been a week now or so, and mints are flying.
We are super excited right now.
We're actually doing a buy one or mint one, get one, till the end of today.
So every mint that's been minted in the last three days will receive an additional mint after the end of day today.
So give us a, check us out. will receive an additional mint after the end of day today.
So check us out.
We've talked about this a little bit over the week, but we're doing an 80-20 refundable mint.
So if you mint on GMI, a Bad Eye Billiards NFT,
if you so desire in the future as a holder, you can get a 80-20, that 80%
refund if that's something that you desire.
But we're pretty confident people won't be going that route, but that's always an option
that gives you kind of a layer of comfort as a minter or as a holder as well.
Yeah, but shout out to everybody who has minted one many cool things coming down the chute
Zach our artist and I have been chatting over the last few days to get out a few more rewards and things like that
But yeah, so many things so many good things going on
With energy GMI and the bad a billiards mint
So so check us out and the mint is only 400 energy. So a very reasonable price.
And like I said, if you mint one now
through the end of today,
we'll be sending you out another one this coming week.
Oh, that's super exciting.
If you have anything that you wanna throw up
in a Jumbotron, for some odd reason,
I can't see anything up there.
I tried to post something up there,
but I can't even see it. So if you wanna put something in the nest uh please feel free go ahead mark
uh yes gabby so we have it on the energy account like the first post like you know uh you can post
it in the comment section on the spaces and i can pin it up on the jumbotron it's it's actually the
first um the first pin message on this basis as well so anybody can uh
you know go and check the post there but i do want to let you guys know that i had a question
from bad ability earlier um and they said um if i send a refundable NFT to another person.
So will that person be able to burn it or claim a refund or something like that?
And my answer was yes.
And you can do it while you're live.
So for example, only if you mint it through the refundable mince route.
only if you mint it through the refundable mint route so uh uh you if if you are gifting it to
somebody obviously like you know if you're doing it from the owners mint some of the spots are
reserved for owners mint um and those those were are not refundable so the so that the you know
the owners can give it to have a giveaway and expand their community.
But if you transfer an NFT and if you go to GMI
and you click on your NFT in your portfolio
and if you have to go and look it up,
you will see a refund button inside that NFT.
But better billiards, did you experience that?
Better Bulliards, did you experience that?
I looked through it and I was able to, of the ones I was testing out, I was able to, yeah, transfer.
I was able to burn and get a refund.
So it appeared to me like everything was working, like you said.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's sweet as sound and, you know, it's as simple as it looks like,
you know, there is a complex, you know, the whole infrastructure is very complex.
And I think we spent like around two weeks stress testing these going through and Tommy
was actually, you know, he made some of the very important changes, like very minute changes
to very major changes.
He was suggesting the team, hey this do that uh and i think one of the things were like uh when you uh
mark you there sorry mark no no sorry tommy no i accidentally hit mute um so one of the things is once you burn that nft
it actually goes back in the line so say for example if you have 100 nfts and you minted
the 10th uh 10 nfts and then you burn the 10th one. So the whole journey has come from the
from the fact that some person you know experience extreme you know wickedness
and depravity in the NFT space which is you know and not one person but you know
a lot of people and you know it's coming firsthand from
tommy right he's invested in a lot of projects he's invested in a lot of nfts um why would a
person be so much strict about you know partnering with only projects that you know um are you know
that can honor their community that won't like you know get to the level where you
know they'll rug or you know just scam or just run away with the mint amount and this is all
the fruition of this one so the simple idea like you know just came to Tommy like you know we got
to make sure that you know our community is not scammed and also we take the innovation away from we take the innovation that we
experimented tested is live is functional from energy and take it to other places as well
to other blockchains um now obviously like you know we have much more uh safer mechanisms on
energy but these refundable nfts are truly an innovation in um other uh you know other chains so
if you are on gmi and if you're looking at a project and you know you're looking at the
contract being a refundable mid which you can actually see it on the on the creator console
then you're i mean the downside the worst downside is your 20 so if you were to spend like a hundred
dollars like you know the worst is like 200 uh 20 dollars sorry you're not losing your entire amount which people
have actually lost you know tons of their money uh with their projects you know so perpetually
you will hold that and if there's no no bar like you know when this meritorium will expire on like
you know refundable nfts so you guys can actually and and you know
when you get get to be part of an nft community right you're expanding your web3 network you're
actually going and you're connecting and tommy himself like you can see he's he's a part of the
bayc community he holds corkis he's connected with all of those communities right now if you guys are you know i mean
obviously i can't go into and get into kirkies and byc it's out of my league right i'm being
very honest like no it's just not there uh but there are micro communities and i'm part of micro
communities and they're great they're actually really really great like one of the communities
that i'm part of is like portals right great? Great people doing metaverse. I bought their NFTs when like it was really dirt cheap, like, you know,
and then this opportunities open up also in the future, right?
Where you can get to be part of micro communities.
But what is the, what is the guarantee that, you know,
you're investing their amount and you're investing the mint amount and
they're not gonna like, like, you know, they're not going to turn on their word
or scrub away their project.
So this is the answer that Tommy saw and what he envisioned and it's built, which is the
refundable NFTs.
So you can actually venture into the NFT space with real confidence, right? And that has been the hallmark of our approach,
which is partnering with projects that go through the refundable routes, right?
We'll promote them, we'll work with them, we'll offer them 24-7 support.
And why do we do that?
Why?
It's because we are a user-centered platform, right?
We do things right, ethically right.
That has been like
you know tommy's model right from the start so you know those that are experiencing um have not
experienced um refundable nfts uh you know get your feet wet go to energy um not a financial
advice once again but if you really are into nft and you're trying to you know experience refundable
NFTs you know better billiards another great option like it's right there in front of you
like you can mint and I think right now they have a promotion going on once again I'm not
promoting you know for you to buy of those this is an option available and what they have right
now is they have a mint board going on.
I think I minted like three.
So I'm eligible to get another three.
So, yeah, this is really great.
And, you know.
Can I clarify that real quick, by the way?
Betty Billiards, is it however many you mint, you get one free?
So if you mint 10, you get 10 free.
Is that right?
That's correct.
Yeah, that ends end of day today.
But yes, right now for everyone you mint, you will be sent another one.
Nice.
Okay, cool.
Okay, thank you.
Back to you, Mark.
No, I'm going to come back later.
I need to mint some bad ability.
He said end of the day.
I'll make sure I complete it today
I'll just jump in and say yeah you know the the 80-20 minutes you guys like um actually Eric
brought a great example um before we had a guy um named Ryan who's uh kind of in the periphery
of our community and he he was working on a collection,
and he still is, and I hope he's doing all right. He had some health issue. I don't know if he
revealed it publicly, so I'm just leaving it at that, but he's a cool guy. But if it was not a
refundable mint, what would people be doing? They would be like, oh, crap, like running for the door, right?
Because they don't know if it's going to last or if he's going to be able to continue on it or what.
And, you know, and then that would like crash the price.
And then what?
And now it's projects like dead in the water because it's like, you know, you see what I'm saying? But because you got a refundable mint with him, it's like, oh, well, you know, there's no downside.
Or in 80-20, refundable mint is also okay.
Because it's like, you know, there's a very limited downside.
20% really isn't that much, you guys.
I mean, markets swing 20% in one day, right?
I mean, even just the past week, right?
A lot of these altcoins have swung 20 percent.
Like if we're in crypto, 20 percent swings. If you're in assets besides Bitcoin, like happen, you know, so having having a max 20 percent downside is like very, very good.
And so, yeah, that's where I that's where I thought that. And I think it is massive.
that's where i thought that and and i think it is massive like just think of it psychologically
like the fear of like losing everything you put into something verse like that that's that like
that kind of messes with you it's like i could put this money in and like it could all be gone
next week verse you put money in and then it's never gonna go lower than down 20 maximum like
that's a massive psychological difference um and that is why we did it. So,
uh, props to you guys, Betty billiards for, for doing that. So, and, uh, yeah, I think it's gonna,
I think it's gonna pay dividends in the longterm. Uh, I, I really, I think it's a fantastic route
because it gives the projects some money to work with up front you know 20%
of it which you got to run things lean run things lean these days anyway but you know
majority of it just basically protects the floor price so yeah back to you Mark.
I'm done minting Tommy that was fast that fast. I just minted like three of those.
Low-key, I just minted some too, Mark.
But like, we're not financial advice, you guys.
But like, you got to support the cause.
Let's go.
I love it.
Buy one, get one free.
Don't leave that on the table.
No pun intended.
Yeah.
And some of those, you know, I have been also managing crypto checks, Tommy.
I see a lot of people like, you know, they come and support our comment section.
I just want to say to them that, you know, we have minted some of those and put them in the vault for crypto checks.
And so we'll start distributing them next week.
Every week we'll have one winner.
So we will be introducing them to refundable NFTs.
We'll be introducing them to a really great community.
I mean, have you taken a look at the art that Better Billiards has?
I look at the portfolio on the profile.
It's really amazing.
I really like their art.
The graphics is really great.
did I just drop?
you're here,
but your hand is raised.
my bad.
I don't know why.
No, that's okay.
I thought it was like,
I thought you were like making a,
you guys ever hear about that?, you guys ever hear about that?
Do you guys ever hear about that yogi who like,
I was thinking about this the past week, you guys,
like if you ever want something to think about,
there's like some of the, some of these yogis in India do crazy,
crazy things.
Like there's one guy who just raised his hand and just kept it raised up.
Have you guys seen that video?
Yeah, actually I have seen that person, Tommy.
Like, he has been doing that.
And, you know, the weird part is they belong to this tribe of,
they call themselves as Naga Sadhus.
And they do like this weird stuff where they would not like shave half of their face
or they would stand on one feet or
they do that.
Kudos to that, man.
It takes immense discipline, Tommy.
Dude,
mad props to those people.
It literally
deforms your body.
They raise their arm up and keep it
raised forever.
It's nuts like imagine raising one arm up and just like not putting it down that's what they do crazy so if you ever deal with something difficult in your life just imagine that you have
to raise an arm up and you can't put it down that's some crazy some crazy stuff props to those
guys shows the power and potential of the human body i thought you were doing that for a second and you can't put it down. That's some crazy stuff. Props to those guys.
Shows the power and potential of the human body.
I thought you were doing that for a sec, Mark,
because you had your hand raised.
So I was like, Mark, are you starting down that path?
Or what?
I think it was the bug.
I saw that and I'm pressing the button.
I'm turning it off and it's turning on.
I'm turning it off and I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
But yeah, it's turning on and starting it off and like i'm like i don't know what's going on but yeah it's it's been fun um yeah it's been great to see communities prosper and tommy do you remember your interview one of your interviews with uh data dash and you guys were conversing and
you know we've literally built energy as a consumer for ethereum haven't we i mean i mean literally
not boasting at any level but literally tommy you've done that, right? So anytime we go to a newer EVM chain, we don't have to worry about,
you know, the vulnerabilities, right? Because we have tested it on our mainnet. Like whenever we
launch on energy, it's always like, you know, it's always a very comfortable position for us
comfortable position for us because we can launch it directly on the main net
because we can launch it directly on the mainnet.
yeah i mean i actually want to you know the benefit of being on the energy chain mark is we
have really strong safeguards energy chain which we don't get those on other chains so
actually i would say like being very security minded, you know, let's make sure that we are, you know, just, yeah, we have to do extra extra for, for other chains.
That's the beauty of energy.
My energy, we're like in the sandbox, like you can't steal and get away with us.
We catch you, you know, but no other chains have what we have.
have. So we have to actually be very, very careful with that and throw that out there.
So we have to actually be very, very careful with that and throw that out there.
And as you all mentioned, DataDash, I had to put this in. I know he's like taking a break from his
YouTube channel, getting some rest, I'm sure. And so I just wanted to put out there that DataDash,
if you're listening, we miss you. Come back sometimes. But no, definitely that's, and I
always say that for new people
who are in this space, that's actually how I found Tommy here in this space was because
there was an interview with him in Data Dash, and I've been watching Data Dash for years.
So, you know, don't underestimate, not everybody is an influencer, but there's some people
who really give great technical analysis and, you know, drive home information and share
information about people in this space.
So I just want to give a shout out to Data Dash, wherever he is, always providing great
content.
There are creators out here who are very good at their craft.
So I just want to shout them out.
And that's how I found Tommy here.
So you never underestimate who you can find in these spaces and who want to keep people
safe. And that's very, very, very important.
So that is what drove me is hearing about safety
and to find Tommy on Twitter or X now.
Go ahead, Mark.
Hey, Tommy, I do want to announce a little bit of thing
for the users and update and some kind of help for them.
Because I know a lot of people are using our platform and testing our platform.
Metamask has a bug, okay?
And we identified this while all us as developers were testing some of our features just two
days ago in GMI.
And I want to reiterate this to you guys i hope
hopefully this message reaches out to a lot of people and then in the future like you know you
guys can go and uh you know inform other users as well so here's the bug tommy so when you are
um i think what happens is and i might be wrong, but when you are operating MetaMask across different websites and connecting them and disconnecting them, over a period of time, it becomes a little laggy.
And it won't connect to any websites.
Like we, I think at one part of time, we thought, is it a bug on our GMI platform or is it a bug like overall on the MetaMask platform?
Because now MetaMask also supports Solana, right?
So I just wanted to make sure that, you know,
people know that this is actually what's happening.
So we tested it across Blur, OpenSea, Magic Eden,
like, you know, UnitSwap and like,
and all of those top leading websites.
And we found that the wallet would simply not connect
and it was just not us it was everybody
else as well so this is what you guys need to do you have to shut down all of your like connections
if you're connected to any website like you know metamask will automatically show up just disconnect
okay uh go on to your extension manage your extension and uh you know just uh there is like
immediately on the screen you will see on the very
first line in the metamask like like like there is a you know toggle button just toggle on and off
toggle it off one time and then toggle it on and just shut down the browser and then like you know
turn it up again and then boom it work uh perfectly and we experienced this bug specifically
with microsoft edge and i see that microsoft edge is becoming really popular a lot of people are
using it uh so just wanted to let you guys know that metamask is buggy over a period of time it's
like your phone gets um starts hanging up right like you know it just gets stuck when your memory
goes over and over so it's almost like that so just wanted to let you guys know as users like you know if you
experience this problem which you will uh like you know either your website won't connect or
you will see like the wheels spinning and spinning and eventually it will just never connect
it's because like you know your metamask has got like you know uh uh above like like lagging so the toggle on and off button while you manage the
extension resets this and you can seamlessly move across networks and all of those things
so just wanted to spread this across users
that's good information mark i say that you again, I'm always going to go back
to the Coinbase wallet and incorporating, you know, different options for different
wallets because MetaMask does have glitches every now and then. I understand that and
I've seen a couple of things and triggers sometimes when you have your computer and you have your computer glitches and then all
of a sudden you lose your extension or you think you lose your extension so I have experienced that
in the past so just want to you know let people know that it's always great to have options as
far as wallets whether it's you know a trust wallet or a coinbase wallet whatever wallet you use so that people can have opportunities to navigate your ecosystem
with different wallets I don't know how hard it is to incorporate but I know I
kind of say this every week please incorporate you know as many wallets as
possible it does make it easier to maneuver I do like to see all the
wallets and people to have options because everybody can participate.
When we're limited to like a MetaMask wallet only, it does leave room for this kind of, not everybody can participate or not everybody will want to have the same wallet.
So it's always great to have those options.
I'm a proponent of having options, I guess, in this market.
So everybody can participate.
But thank you, Mark Mark for that insightful information so if you are having problems as Mark mentioned
before you can refresh you know and go out
yeah and have you guys seen the upgrade where the questions that you have or feel free to come up
and speak with us too so
glad to see more people in the room and back to you mark tommy have you seen and gabby as well
as eric here in battle village have you guys seen like the new metamask upgrade with the solana
wallet on it i i have not played with that yet i've've heard that, but I haven't played with it yet.
I only saw it when I installed a new MetaMask on a new browser.
The old ones, I don't know.
It was not there, but I played around with it.
Working great so far.
I have not tried yet, but I do have a Solana wallet.
Uh-oh, silence comes into the room.
Is everybody there or did I rug?
I don't know.
Are we rugging, mate? No, no, we're here.
Good. And Tommy, I didn't know if you wanted to get into those tokenomics. I know we,
do we have anyone else who's requesting? I'm just trying to make sure that I
capture everyone in a space. If not, and maybe we can talk about more about those
tokenomics that you were talking about in the fourth flywheel, because I do remember you mentioning three.
I'm not sure if you wanted to jump into the tokenomics that you and Mark and team have been working on.
Sure, I'll cover it just real quick for you guys to recap.
So we had three major flywheels and we have a fourth one now.
So I'll go through very quickly.
First one is high APYs, right?
So everybody likes high APYs.
If you're doing high APYs, you're in the right mindset.
However, and a big, big, big however here, high APYs are a double-bladed sword because people like high APYs.
But if you're giving those tokens out in the near term, as in within months, then you are doing a major disservice to yourself.
And these are lessons we learned through the energy token.
We didn't have DeFi capabilities when we launched energy back in 2018 and we're building in 2017.
None of the technologies existed
today but like i still see so many projects today launch with a high apy and don't do a proper lock
up right even big projects like projects that are literally even billions of the table
so the first lesson is high apy great, but requires long lockup.
All right, that's flywheel one.
We got that nailed down.
Not only are we locking up tokens, we're saying you have to provide liquidity.
So you're not just like randomly locking up a token that does nothing.
We are saying you only get high APIs for providing liquidity.
That's number one.
High APIs.
So high APIs is number one, actually. And then the the long long period is number two those are two flywheels again if people just did those two they'd be
ahead of 90 percent of projects but most don't even get those two right okay so the third flywheel
is the way we're releasing the gmi token is when we release the GMI token, we will have seasonal, our airdrop will continue via seasonal rounds, three months each.
And this is really powerful.
Every season, there's a new token that releases.
Okay, so it'll be like alpha key beta key gamma key every three months new key
Those keys come out and they will come out with farming pools
paired with GMI
And they'll be high APY farming pools like over 100% APY, right?
So if you if you pair that new season key, you know, say alpha key with GMI
Now you're gonna get over 100% APY in a farming pool.
So what happens is every season, every three months after GMI comes out, there's a new demand
driver to suck GMI off the market, as well as those alpha keys, beta keys, gamma keys.
So it helps both of them keep the supply tight. So this is a perpetual demand engine.
It's very powerful.
I invented this.
And then the fourth part of that, the fourth flywheel is the the LP bonds I was telling you guys about.
Right.
All the partners we work with.
Right.
We're going to have pools with them as well so we'll just say
uh you know blockchain a like i was saying earlier blockchain a's token and gmi similar to the keys
like they will pair with gmi and offer a greater than 100 apy again for those people locking up
for the long term 6.9 years so what's happening here is we have a lot of different pools
that are basically incentivizing people to lock up GMI
and to lock up other tokens for the long term.
So it's a big liquidity sink.
It's taking coins off the market, locking them up for GMI
and for those other coins.
And ultimately, it's going to be a massive demand driver for GMI and for those other coins. And ultimately, it's going to be a massive demand driver for GMI.
And I can go into it deeper too.
There's a little more nuance to it as well.
But let me just give you guys a little teaser here.
Those APYs are actually going to increase over time.
Everyone is used to APYs decreasing over time.
Our APYs are going to increase over
time over those 6.9 years. How about that? Right. So imagine like year one's a hundred percent and
then year two is 200 percent. Year three, 300 percent. You get it? You're starting to get the
picture. Yeah, like that. So this is the reasons why our tokenomics are unmatched. And it takes a lot of kind of, you know, again, years and years of polish of thinking about things.
Like, no one's, again, if I, like, literally Mark's the only person, because I've caught him up and Mark's smart.
So, like, we've worked through some problems together.
But, like, basically Mark and AI are the only people I can like i've been i've talked to to like tune this up you know it's it's really it really
advanced stuff you know um and uh but really important you guys i just don't take it lightly
at all you know i mean i really think strong tokenomics really is the difference. And I won't even say millions, I'll say billions of dollars,
you know, and potentially, you know, like a little, little asterisk here, potentially trillions of
dollars, potentially trillions of dollars. What? That's a lot of money, but are you going to leave
that money on the table? I'm not leaving it on the table, man.
And that brings me to my next point, which is hunger. And again, I talked to you guys about
this on the last space too, but that's one thing I've really learned is, you know, I think the,
I think hunger is the, the innovation is a huge driver of innovation, at least for me, you know,
because I feel like we've done so much in the space and, you know,
I really feel like we deserve more credit. Like for, you know,
you see this space kind of moving towards security. You saw what Sui did.
You guys might've seen that, right?
So we had this big hack like a week ago or something right they had
a 200 billion dollar 200 million dollar hack excuse me 200 million still a ton of money
one of their decks has got hacked and then the validators they didn't have any plans set in place
for this right that's how they that's how it goes right no plans set in place and then all of a
sudden the validators come and freeze 160 million so So I guess the hacker got away with 60 million, I think.
And, but you know, they froze 160 million and then, and then like people,
people all of a sudden get freaked out.
Like, hang on a second, wait, oh, so it's not decentralized, you know,
and this and that.
Right.
But like the reality is decentralized governance, you know,
decentralized enforcement.
This is the technologies that we invented that we've had on energy since 2019 that other people are slowly discovering are kind of necessary, you know.
But like if the market truly valued us, what we're worth in terms of innovation, I think we should be one of the top blockchains.
I think we should be one of the top blockchains. But unfortunately, or fortunately, whatever it is, I think a lot of projects get lucky. I think over half the projects you see that are at the top of whatever list are there because of luck, maybe more.
maybe more. And I think projects with merit, they may, they should eventually get there,
but it's not an always easy road and they have to stick with it. And I think we're kind of in
that category where it's like, we have a lot of merit, but you know, like I wouldn't say we've
been lucky the past few years. Maybe you've had some moments of luck throughout our history.
Everyone does, but like, we haven't been like like particularly lucky but you don't have to be lucky or what do they say luck is what when preparation meets opportunity right so you know
i think what we're doing now is we're just stacking the wins like and that's why that's why i still
compete you know against myself like even though i've designed what the ai says is the best
tokenomics out there and i'm really cutting through i don't want to be i don't want it to
bullshit me you know like i really try to like cut through what's real what's not what's
the truth truth i'm a big truth seeker you know but there's there's no there's nothing out there
i mean with my own eyes i've looked around like there's no tokenomics on this level and i and i
look at what major incumbents major projects worth large amounts of money and have a ton of community
drive and all this and that. And I see how they do their tokenomics. I'm like, what are they doing,
man? Just leaving the money on the table. They're just leaving the money right on the table. Like
just imagine a table with like $50 million and they're like, you know what? I'm just going to
burn it down. It's like, it's. He's burning that huge pile of money.
That's what they're doing.
Maybe they're not hungry.
I don't know.
Maybe they're not hungry or maybe they don't know.
But I'll tell you what.
I'm hungry.
I'm not going to leave that $50 million on the table.
I'm not going to burn that down.
I'm sorry.
We need that money.
We need that money for our community.
So we're not going to burn down that money.
We're going to take every penny off that and and
And and enrich ourselves in a positive way, right? But to do that, you got to be hungry
You got to go to the drawing board. You got to perfect the art, you know, and I've had a lot of breakthroughs man
The way I got here was a series of breakthroughs.
It was never in one day.
And you ask Mark, how many times I called Mark?
I'm like, Mark, I just leveled up again.
We just leveled up again.
Like I told that to Mark probably, you know, 10 times over the past two, three years.
We've had like some major level ups on the tokenomics.
And it's like, it's beautiful when you hit a level up.
You know, it's really cool. But that's where we're at. That comes from the hunger though. It comes
from, uh, from yeah. Like, like, again, you are your own competition. I'm a really big believer
of that too. You know, I've, I've heard that a lot too. Like don't compare yourself against the,
you know, competitors, you know, um, like, uh, like, like like amazon jeff bezos he says that like pay
attention to your customer not your competition and i like that i think and then of course you
know other quotes too kind of along the lines where you know you are your own competition and
i really i really feel that way i don't care i don't care if i'm if i'm doing the best at
tokenomics right now it doesn't mean that uh it doesn't mean it's the end-all be-all.
And I want to see how far I can take it.
I want to see just how far I can take it.
I want to see what happens if you take every little edge you can
and you put in the tokenomics, how high can it go?
And nothing is guaranteed, man.
I'll tell you that.
Again, that's another hard lesson that you just learned.
Again, that's another hard lesson that you just learned.
You think, isn't it crazy how innovative everything we've done?
And I still think we're very unrecognized.
We're here on the space.
There's 30 people on the space right now.
And here, I've created the best tokenomics the space has seen.
But there's another space out there with like thousands of people and they're
just talking about nonsense. So what does that mean? I don't know, you know,
but, uh, I think, I think there's, uh, you know, but whatever, that's,
that's just the grind, man. That's the humility part of it.
And I think if you just keep going and you just keep pushing it forward,
pushing, raising the bar, I think at some point it becomes unignorable,
if that's the word, something like that.
It becomes unignorable.
And that's really what I'm going for.
I don't care.
I don't really care if people see it yet or not.
I'm going for the unignorable factor.
Like, yeah, you'll fade me now if you want.
I don't care.
You know, like, you'll see.
You know, you'll see.
And I ain't doing it for them, man.
You know, I'm doing it for all the people who believe, who've believed in me over the years.
I'm doing it.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, that's my biggest driver.
Everyone who's put faith in me over the years, I will see it. Yeah. I mean, honestly, that's my biggest driver. Everyone who's put faith in me
over the years, I will see it through. I will finish what I started. I'm going to finish what
I started and they're going to see, and then they'll see. Anyway, I'll leave it there.
Anyway, I'll leave it there.
I just wanted to say, Tommy, you can hear the hunger and the passion, and that's what we need to hear from a lot of project leads.
You know, the passion to be here in tough times.
And you're even in the space with us. So that even proves that, hey, you care about your project.
You're here for the long haul and you're going to make sure that people are safe.
I just messaged Mark in the background on Discord.
So when you have a chance, Mark, if you could take a look at Discord for a moment, because I do want to bet eight billiards, but I am so not on MetaMask.
But yeah, so I would love to mint as well.
But I wanted to say, yeah, having safety and having projects come onto safe chains helps newbies.
I always go back to the new people who don't know anything about the space and being boots on the ground.
And I would love to have some NFTs to give out to my community to introduce people, you know, as they're learning and progressing through learning about blockchain and learning about wallets.
You have something to give them, and good projects are what we want to give out to our community members
and our local community.
So I want the Shiva Sequoia Forest to have a bad eight billiards too, or a few of them.
So thank you for creating a safe place for us to come and have great discussion
and to learn about the tokenomics.
And if I could just kind of reiterate some of the things that you said, you know, high
APYs.
And I think people, once people figure out locking up your tokens helps create that higher
APY, it will be much, much better.
But I don't think, I didn't realize that until later on, but if we can tell people upfront,
you know, locking up your tokens and locking them up as a community
helps that APY. So your contributions to a project, you know, are long lasting when you
lock up those tokens for a long period of time. You know, even if you don't have the
option, but 6.9 years, that's great. If you have other options, locking them up for one
month, nine months, 12 months of the year and buying more and locking them up for one month, nine months, 12 months at a year and buying more and locking them
up for additional time also helps as well. So once people realize how important that is,
they'll start locking up pretty quick, pretty quickly. And they know the rewards that they're
receiving in return. And I say that because there are many projects and I am involved in.
One, that we all didn't notice that. And then once everybody started to notice, it's like, OK, let's just lock up tokens.
And so it continuously allows us to purchase those tokens and lock them up and see the APY go up.
So that's always great. And getting that the GMI pair with all the different seasonal airdrops, you know, every 90 days. It gives you something to look forward to.
So you continuously keep, you know, you're staying engaged.
So it's important to stay engaged because we can get bored pretty fast.
But if we're receiving some type of reward, in this case GMI, that will keep you engaged
every 90 days or something to look forward to.
And then the lp bonds
and how many you can make keep keeps you there because opportunity is there for everybody so
um tommy great work because i'm like writing down everything and i'm like okay keynote this keynote
that so i don't know if people have their pen and paper or typing or you know keep these things in
mind because these are always great things to learn about projects. Tokenomics is very important.
I did underestimate tokenomics.
I have to say that because I really didn't understand.
But continue to come to these spaces, learning and, you know, doing your own research.
But at the same time, listening to how the project works in a tokenomics will allow you to stay engaged.
So definitely great work, Tommy and team.
It's always great to hear about the tokenomics of great projects.
So thank you.
And cheers to you, Gabby.
Like, wow, you're really getting your head around it.
At this point, I would say you are more understanding of tokenomics
than the vast majority of people out there too.
So like beautiful knowledge capture on your part.
And, you know know you'll see when
you go look at other projects and you see you'll see very technical people and and maybe even savvy
marketing people but they are they're missing the whole it's because they don't have the economics
part you know that's something the ai said to me today which i my name used to be tommy economics
that was my original alias before for world world power, right. Before I decided to like set on world domination,
I'm just kidding guys. Uh, no, but like my name used to be Tommy economics, you know,
cause I, I'm, I'm big into the economics. Like what are the drivers? Like what is the really
the nature of money and all that stuff. Right. So that's kind of like
a core interest of mine. And so of course, economics rhymes with tokenomics. And then like
after meddling with tokenomics for a long time, Mark was mentioning some books. I was talking to
Mark this past week and he was mentioning some like tokenomics books. Like, uh, I was like,
oh, let's run it through AI and see how we rate up okay i was like
yeah you're pretty much the pinnacle of what the book says and you've done a couple things they
didn't talk about it was hilarious yeah yeah like you know it's like all right cool so we're good
you know like um you know but that's that's that's called uh you know that that's when you're pushing
i get like an image of a samurai in my head, right? Like they're just training every day, you know, like mastering the perfect technique, right?
When they cut, it's like a flawless technique.
And that's the image that I get.
That's like me with tokenomics.
I'm like a tokenomics ninja.
Sorry, I can't help myself, you guys.
I can't help myself.
But seriously, you know that's that's
what it is you know you got to just sharpen the blade every day and you never you're never perfect
i'll tell you that true true mastery is actually never is is you're never a master that's the true
mastery is you're always humble and you always know it's again the approaching infinity thing
right humility that's
why i say humility humility humility approaching infinity the gap between infinity and approaching
infinity is a massive you just zoom in there if you zoom into that like if you zoom out they look
very close to each other it's like wow there's infinity and if you're approaching infinity it's
like the lines are almost touching but no if you if you zoom in enough, the gap is massive.
And that actually is my own to go into a spiritual aspect.
That's the difference between God and everything else.
The oneness of the universe, no being that is shy of God is even close to God.
That is my perspective on spirituality and oneness.
That's what approaching infinity is, the massive gap. And that's why you should always be humble.
Whenever I see someone who's not humble, I'm like, dude, you are, you're, you're, you're a speck,
you're a speck of sand, you know, you'll, and you'll never be, you'll never be the,
you'll never be a anything, anything less than God is, is, is a speck and should be humble. And so it doesn't matter if there's a
being, any human being, any being a billion times more powerful than us, right? There's probably
some beings that could snap their fingers and kill us all in a second. That being should also
be extremely humble because there's another being that could do it to that being, right? And then
there's another being that could do it to that being, right? And that's what I mean by anything short of the infinite, the true essence of all should be humble. And that's,
that's called mastery, you know? So I, that's, that's kind of my own spiritual philosophy toward,
um, kind of toward life and why I kind of like, it kind of like amuses me whenever I see people
who are not humble is amusing for me. You know, I know they haven't figured that out yet.
Anyway.
So, Tommy, we do have questions.
And I am so sorry.
I can't pronounce your first name, but I think it's Nestor.Soul had a couple of questions.
And so I wanted to give those questions to you.
It says, how are airdrop rewards calculated for different tokens?
Flat rate
or proportional to holding?
Are we talking about the
LP bonds?
Are we talking about
I don't know what exactly he's talking about.
Okay.
I think it's the
sorry, Gabby. I think it's the
GMI airdrop that's
going on for the different tokensby. I think it's the GMI airdrop that's going on for, you know, the different tokens.
And I think we have a clear document.
If you go to the doc section for the airdrop, you'll see like a list of tokens and the rewards for them.
And then it's already mentioned.
And like you can go and just scroll on the airdrop page.
and as you scroll on the airdrop page,
you can see like the individual token
and you can see like, you know,
how much is the tokens like versus the rewards.
And then also you can see on the documentation
for those tokens when,
what was the snapshot date for those tokens.
I hope that answers the question, Tommy.
Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah, I think you nailed it.
Yeah, we have like they're
they're fairly proportional to like the value but obviously if you have a partner too we'll like
they'll have uh you know a little more of a booster there but yeah and and we'll add more
tokens and um nfts and stuff there too over time remember that this engine that we built is running
for the next seven years and probably longer but but at least for the next seven years.
So over those seven years, we'll be fine tuning who we're rewarding, what projects we're holding or for holding, you know, whether you're holding different NFTs or different tokens or whatever it is.
So, yeah.
Okay.
And then another question, are there any partnerships that increase the utility of GMI, example, other marketplaces?
I mean, other marketplaces are kind of our competition.
So, like, those wouldn't be, like, our main partnership people.
Like, our main partnerships are going to be NFT projects, for one, right, that are going to benefit from us charging 0% fees.
for one, right, that are going to benefit from us charging 0% fees.
Blockchains, it could be other DeFi tools, probably not other marketplaces.
That's like kind of like, you know, that's what we're doing.
So like that's essentially our competition.
I wish them the best, but I personally am not very, I don't appreciate, I don't appreciate, uh, when people do things unethically
and specifically, uh, when, uh, the other big incumbent marketplaces, pretty much most of the
big incumbents have thrown creators under the bus. I don't like that. I'm just going to be honest and,
and real about it. You know, like I don't like it when I see them come and say,
oh yeah, we're going to honor royalties.
And then the next thing you know, six months later, we're going back to optional royalties.
No, dude, that's the kind of crap that we need to get rid of on the space. I'm sorry,
in the crypto space. We don't need that. We don't need that. We don't need this short-sighted blah,
I don't know what you call it. So that's my competition and I'm here
to disrupt the competition. So yeah, hopefully I answered your question. Thank you, Tommy, for that.
And before I go to the next question, I just want to shout out Calvin J. Thank you for the
information on MetaMask and Solana. So I know we haven't dabbled into it, but if you are interested,
it is in the comment section. Please feel free to take a look. So the next question, what precautions are in place to
prevent civil attacks? I've never heard of this before. Or fake wallet farming. What is that?
Yeah, just basically people trying to game the system. And we do have mechanisms for it. First
of all, if we catch people cheating, it's in the notes there. If we catch a cheating, you can be disqualified.
You can lose everything that you've earned, so I recommend not to do it.
So don't try to cheat the system.
And then beyond that, we try to set it up in a way where people can't cheat anyway.
So it's essentially a constant process of if there is an away people are taking advantage that we
catch it and you know and try to stop it and and bottom line is we don't we don't
like we don't like cheaters so if you're cheating you're going down a slippery
slope and you might lose your shit so don. Well, I guess that made it plain and simple.
Don't cheat.
this question comes from Alwin.
Is it allowed to gift NFTs to referrals for joining referral links?
I think so.
Yeah,
you can gift a NFT to anyone you want.
I don't see any problem with that.
Just don't cheat.
Just don't cheat.
I guess that's the name of the game.
Don't cheat.
Keep people safe and do not cheat the system.
There are ways to get caught.
So keep it great.
Okay.
I think those were all the questions that we had so far.
We do have someone who's requesting to come up.
I'm not sure if I can try to add them as a...
I'm trying to approve them and I can't.
There's something going on with that.
I can't approve people to come up for some odd reason.
I think it's CK, I do believe.
Yeah, CK who's trying to come up.
But those were great, great questions.
Nestor.Soul for those questions and Alwyn.
Again, if you have any questions that you would like to have answered,
please feel free to put them in the comment section and we'll get to them as soon as we can. This has been a great space,
lots of learning opportunities here in every space all the time. So thank you again for
all the questions. I see we have CK. Hi, how are you? Thank you for putting up your hand.
We'll call on you to speak next. Please introduce yourself and let us know who you are and any questions that you have. Go ahead.
Hello, we can barely hear you. Can you come a little bit closer to your microphone?
We can hear you just a little bit. Go ahead.
Okay. Okay. Thank you, my question. Do you have an ambassador program?
You know, we need to like nail down a better ambassador program, but I will say this, our airdrop is kind of a de facto ambassador program because you are getting rewarded pretty significantly for doing those different activities for, you know, whether you're just referring people to the airdrop and we literally have an airdrop category just for referring people,
you know, and that alone has a prize pool, right? And so there's like a, essentially the airdrop
program is a de facto ambassador program. I'm not saying it's perfect. We can certainly tighten it
up and probably lay that out better. Again, it's just an 80-20 rule, to be quite frank. Like again,
the endless to-do list.
My to-do list just fill up and I start a new one.
So it's like, what do you get to?
You get to the stuff that's going to drive the results,
and that's really what we're focused on.
And you guys can see those results cranking out,
whether it's getting out of more chains or getting critical features in
or fine-tuning these tokenomics.
These are the top things that I'm focusing on.
So what I'd, what I'd recommend to you is plug into our airdrop, like, and really take
it seriously and, you know, farm that GMI, man.
I mean, I'll say it again right now.
Like the GMI, I think everyone who's earned GMI so far, like, you know, cheers to you.
You know, you guys are, uh, you guys are setting yourselves up again.
I'm, you know, again, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's the best tokenomics out there.
What do you want me to say?
I'm not, and I, I, I, I, I say that honestly from like, I'm, I'm timid to say that because
I want to be humble, but I also have to take ownership of the reality.
It's the best tokenomics there is, you know?
And if there's better, show me.
Show me.
I want to learn.
I want to, I want to, I want to, I will, I'll be like the Borg.
I'll absorb that into, into the tokenomics for GMI.
But I haven't seen it.
I'm always looking.
I'm always looking.
So, yeah.
So why don't you get some of the best tokenomic coin out there?
Probably smart, right? So yeah, start doing that. Start earning some GMI. Good for you.
You'll be happy you did.
Tommy, I think you found the best resource, AI. I don't know how many people went to the
Bitcoin conference. I had been seeing so many pictures out on crypto Twitter, and it seems
like it was amazing and uh even if you
weren't there michael saylor i don't know if he was a keynote speaker but he actually gave the 21
and uh it was really really really good so if you have an opportunity it is on youtube
um if i can find where i in my phone where i have it i don't mind posting it down there too
um it just gives you some great insight about
crypto, even though he might be, you know, discussing Bitcoin. There's some great takeaway
messages for all, for all projects. And I, the one thing that he mentioned was be humble to AI.
AI knows a lot more than a lot of us. It's like, you know, while you're utilizing your brain power,
don't, you know, don't neglect AI. It's there to help you and to help sharpen
your knowledge as well.
So I love when you say you go to AI,
and you go to AI for a lot of things.
In the same way, go to AI first, consult friends.
But AI is your friend.
While we're feeding it, it is getting smarter,
but it's also helping us get smarter too.
So when we come into things like this and have ideas, and like you said, tokenomics, run it by AI, you know, what better, you know,
consultant than your AI? I mean, it's replacing a lot of different things, but there's still some
areas of opportunity where we're able to think and feed it and it can feed us back. So I really
appreciate you mentioning, hey, I go to AI, same here. I appreciate AI. So don't be scared of it. Use it to your advantage, whether it's Grok or ChatGPT or DeepSeek or, you know, whatever platform. And compare your answers to each other. It is really helpful. Somebody has to be right. But sometimes there's filters based on your questions. So, you know, eat the fish, spit out the bones. But it's a great learning opportunity.
So, yeah, Tommy, keep going to AI.
And I will find that video and post that link to YouTube so that you can watch that keynote by Michael Saylor.
Yeah, thank you.
I'd like to see it.
And I'll just add on there.
Yeah, you guys, like, you know, we put it at the top of our Join the Team page.
We're an AI-first company, and we really expect that of everyone we bring into our company,
everyone in our company, and everyone we add to it.
It's AI-first, as in, you know what I say to people all the time, just day-to-day now?
I've kind of trained myself to do it, and I recommend you guys get on the same level,
which is, people come to me with a problem, I'll be like what did the ai say that's that's literally what i say
i'm like what did the ai say you know like just make that make that part of who you are you know
that like it's like oh you have a problem like well what do the ai say about it you know and like
and you got to prep the ai a little bit if you guys don't't know this, again, you have a projects folder in the different AI.
And in the projects folder, you give all the background about what you're doing.
So it's not like shooting, it's not shooting blind.
It knows what you're, what you're dealing with.
It knows like for us, it knows all about energy, knows all about GMI, knows all about our tokenomics, knows all about everything.
So when I go ask it a question, it's not like getting like some random context.
It's got like, you know, 50 pages worth of, it's not like getting like some random context. It's
got like a, you know, 50 pages worth of, maybe more hundreds of pages worth of like information
to like, to, to, to, to kind of like feed off of, and then it can give you quality context.
And then when you're, whenever you're asking a question too, you should always give as much
context as you can, like really explain the problem like hey like so this is
what we're dealing with and this is what's going on and like why you want to why why you care and
like what the pain like specific if you the more specifics you give it the better it can guide you
you know and um that's one of the things that ai actually told me um it's like it says it said i do
that pretty well so i recommend you guys do that.
Like try to give it like a good context
on whatever you want feedback on, a good background.
And yeah, use numerous ones.
If you guys don't know Abacus AI,
props to Mark for finding this.
It is a fantastic tool.
Abacus AI gives you access to all the,
excuse me, all the top AIs for 10 bucks a month.
And that includes the O3 version of ChatGPT, which costs $200 a month. So you get that for 10 bucks
a month. You get the Claude, which is normally 20 bucks a month. That for 10 bucks a month is like
the DeepSeek. There's all the, all the top AI in there um for 10 bucks a month so i mean you guys
10 bucks a month for having access like don't i've i've recommended it to a few people and you know
everyone who's got it has been really happy with it so yeah don't skimp on ai don't fade ai okay i
see that sometimes i just see people do that they They're like, oh, fuck AI. Excuse my language. And when I hear that, it almost like triggers me. I'm like, no, please don't say that.
You're out of line. Have a little bit of respect and have a little appreciation and it will help you. And I'm a big believer that those people who use,
there's going to be a huge widening gap, you guys,
in the next few years between those people who use AI well
and those who don't.
The people who use AI well will basically be like superhumans, okay?
And the people who are resistant to it or don't like it
or don't whatever, whatever, or are slow to catch up, like the gap between quote unquote normal people and AI power users is going to widen enormously.
Those people who are using it well will be 10 times, 100 times more capable than those who don't.
Like a massive gap. So at this point, it's either adapt or fall way, way, way, way, way far behind.
And why not be a winner? Why don't you be one of those people in the front of the line?
Don't you want to be one of the people in the front? So be a superhuman. I feel like a superhuman,
man. Honestly, I feel like a superhuman today. It's crazy. I feel significantly more powerful
than ever in my life. And that's just because I know how to consult the AI and have it help me
solve problems. And I'll just say too, from a work perspective, having to produce documents,
you guys, before, if I have to produce a deck or a one pager before ai
i'd have to be like okay we got a project this is going to take me like days you know minimum a
whole day of like concentrated effort to like do this thing now it's like oh i need a one pager
easy peasy oh i need a specific deck just for this project no problem you know like it just
cranks it out you know it
cranks it out and then you you do a couple revisions you're like okay you read through it
you're like no well you should talk more about this you talk less about that like that's literally
how you talk to it you know just give it specific instructions on that and then boom it gives you
another version oh hey this is closer actually adjust this a little bit you still didn't talk
about this um yeah take that part out i don't want to talk about that like that. Like that's how you got it, you know? And then
boom, now you've got like your, your final version and it's like looking pretty sweet. You're like,
damn, that's pretty damn good. Actually. You know, that's, that's, that's what the work is
becoming in a lot of ways. So yeah, don't be resistant to it. I always ask it for one to 10
ratings on, on everything and like ask it for its confidence rating one to 10. Um, I always ask it for one to 10 ratings, um, on, on everything and like ask it for its
confidence rating one to 10. And, um, I always, I think that's a great kind of prompt trick,
like get one to 10 ratings and like, Hey, how much do you agree with this one to 10? How good
am I doing on this one to one to 10, you know, stuff like that. Um, yeah, learn how to use it,
10, you know, stuff like that. Um, yeah, learn how to use it, learn how to use it as a mentor.
You know, I'm, I'm a, I'm a person who always loved having a mentor and I had a mentor in years
past. And I will say like a human mentor, you know, can only go so far and they have, and then
it's actually a lot slower, you know, and you, you, you know, it's like, uh, and then you have AI,
it's actually a lot slower, you know, and you, you, you know, it's like, uh, and then you have
AI, AI is like the ultimate mentor, you know, and, and like, look at it that way. Wouldn't they say
like in years past, like, oh yeah, find a mentor. You know, you should find a mentor. Do you,
everyone has a mentor now. You all have a mentor. You have the best mentor you could ever ask for,
you know, like capitalize on that, man. Dude, that, that, that advice is worth hundreds or thousands of dollars an hour.
People are fading AI. Don't fade AI. Use it. Max it out. Use it extensively. Mark was saying this,
and I agree. I can't wait till they have the Neuralink so I could just have it read my
thoughts and answer me so I don't have to say anything out loud. That'd be great. Right now,
I do a lot of talking or writing. I have to literally, but I can't wait
until I can just bounce the idea off right in my head,
get the feedback and refine the thought
without even having to open my mouth.
That would be awesome.
That's probably coming in the next few years.
So yeah, good times, guys.
So Tommy, has the GMI team ever thought
about going to any of these conferences
you know uh to participate kind of get the name out there or have any representatives because i
know if miami is coming up and you know uh in uh nft nyc you know uh all of these different uh
conferences that are coming up i didn't know if the gmi team has thought about going to any of
the conferences or having any representation there so i think conferences are conferences are great if they're like easily accessible like for instance
i'm in bangkok so if there's one out here no problem you know easy i'll go to it why not right
but i think really the game um it is along the same veins gabby but like uh and that's something
that we're that we're doing very aggressively now too is we kick we kick it off now that we're going very strongly multi-chain is just outreach
you know like what is the whole point of conferences is just to meet people right but
you know it's another great way to meet people is send out 100 messages a day and then find that
people want to meet you you know and that's what we're doing uh as well like we're doing that with
nft projects right now um you know and uh and actually this is
ironically um my actual best my best skill i would say like uh sales and the sales skill set is
actually my my most comfortable place and i've been very successful at that like throughout my
life it's been my younger years i was always top top of my class at that and something
that i enjoy so that's really i think in the end of the day it's about making connections and
plugging in with people um i don't think going to a conference is necessary i think it can be good
like you yes you certainly don't get me wrong i love conferences go there you can meet a lot of
people but there's also a lot of downside to conferences. It's expensive to go to them. Sometimes you have to fly to the world.
It can interrupt your flow.
You know, your other work kind of can stop for days while you're doing it.
So there's kind of pros and cons.
In my experience, I don't think it's necessary.
I think you can meet people.
If you really want to meet, say, I really want to meet, like, a team from a blockchain.
Man, if we hit them up on, like, every channel we can find in telegram and discord and linkedin we'll probably still connect with them and they
have to go to a conference to do that right and i specifically know who i want to meet for in what
project when you go to a conference it's like oh well where do i find them am i even going to run
into them blah blah you really want to meet someone make it an intention and hit them up on
every channel you can find you you know, online. And
you'll probably connect to one of their team members, just like you would run into them at
a conference and crack that nut and then see if there's, see if there's a flow there. And then
you can do that way more easily online. We tap into 10, 20 different people or projects that
you want to meet. So that's my thought not to be super long
winded about it but yeah gabby i've like sent people to conferences in years past and it's like
expensive too you know you're flying someone there i think at this point i i probably it would
probably be me that i'd want to go there rather than flying people but i've like sent people to
conferences in the past cost thousands of dollars this and that and it's like oh well they increase
their network a little bit and actually like provide a lot of value for for our organization
if that makes sense i think i think for at some degree if you're just like flush with money
you know and you yeah like yeah why not go do that go do other all sorts of other marketing and
you know biz dev activities but if you're running like a lean organization, I would probably not put it in there again,
unless it's like convenient.
If you're in the same city, yeah, go, you know, if it's close by like an hour flight,
yeah, go.
But if you got to like fly halfway across the world and, you know, and it's going to
disrupt your flow and your sleep schedule and jet lag and everything like that, probably
maybe not be worth the cost, you know? So, so that's kind of my thought on it.
You know, Tommy, I can appreciate that because I know, like you said, running a lean team with the Sheba Sequoia Forest.
We, while we represent the Sheba Sequoia Forest, we do travel as a team to make cost a little bit more effective for everyone.
as a team to make cost a little bit more effective for everyone. And we also let people
know, hey, if you want to join us, you can, because we don't want to, you know, stop people
from joining us. And also there are people who give, and I didn't realize this until
later on after it already happened, that there are people in this space who will give you
free tickets. Sorry, I had a phone call coming in, so I don't know if that interrupted me.
But there are people in this space who do give free tickets, you know, whether it's a women's initiative or, you know, they'll give you a free ticket or, you know, half off or gentleman.
So there's always those people in this space, but it's like you never know who they are unless you start connecting with them.
And I want to shout out Kellyanne Collins, who was able to send women to the Bitcoin conference and they didn't have to pay for a ticket.
I do want to say they probably had to pay for their way there and for their hotel accommodations or whatnot.
But there are opportunities for people to go and be able to represent the projects that they're with or the projects that they support.
So, yeah, we're going to our our team is going to ETH Miami.
And so we will be there together because it does take planning. Some people just can't just,
you know, get into a plane. I can't even do that. You know, proper planning is important,
but definitely helping other projects as there are people here who are boots on the ground and,
you know, acquiring NFTs from other ecosystems and different ecosystems
that would love to introduce your project to people who are, number one, not on the
internet.
And I don't know who's not on the internet nowadays, but some people have taken a break.
And so there's outreach that needs to be done, like in person, you know, to help people
navigate and get online.
And some people like Facebook versus Twitter versus Instagram.
So, and versus TikTok.
I mean, you have all types of users and we don't want to miss anyone.
So I think it's important with those who are boots on the ground to help get the word out
and help people.
They might not come onto Twitter every day, but they still want to learn.
And I kind of have onboarded, on board, excuse me, a couple people, but they're want to learn and I kind of have on boarded on board excuse me a couple people
but they're not the greatest they don't want to always be on on the internet and so they might
come into the space every blue moon but they're still participants in in blockchain whether it's
an nft or purchasing of crypto but they need that extra education and willing to even go to a class.
So I don't want to discount those who may not be online and who we can
outreach to that that's beyond crypto Twitter.
So I really appreciate that, Tommy.
Yeah. Well said, Gabby. And by the way, guys, I am, uh,
I'm getting a little tired here. It past 11 here gas tanks running on E here
I'm gonna start winding down. Do we want to do anything else you want to start winding down Mark Gabby?
I believe that is from Mark. I want to say I think so we've had people here, but more people are coming in
Hey spoon, how are you? Welcome to the space. Welcome, everybody.
Toxin, CryptoChicks, Carl. And I'm seeing some people, but I'm not seeing others, which is really weird.
So Twitter is glitching for me. I can't see everybody. I can only see a few people.
So, yeah, I think it might be about that time.
And I think people are still minting bad a billiards.
I'm trying to get my money over to Mark now so I can go mint.
I know it was so bad, but I'm trying.
I'm in the Coinbase wallet and boy, oh boy. And yeah, we'll just keep it there.
Mark, are you still minting or are you ready to close or what's going on over there?
No, I just want to announce the winners. Let me pull it up.
Okay, while he's putting that up, we'll have a start going around kind of giving closing remarks here soon.
And like I said, I don't see everybody, which is crazy. Twitter is twittering right now. Thank you,
everybody.
Thank you for coming out.
And Mark, I think
we lost Sulzaki, and I can't even see
Sulzaki.
But we have, like, a ton of people
join the space. You guys see that?
We have, like, a ton of people join the space now.
Yeah, I see, like, the whole, like,
rose just collapsed, and then, like, like it just saying 151 other listeners.
Are you guys seeing that too?
Yes, I can't.
That's when I said I couldn't see anybody and that's what happened.
I like, well, welcome to the 150 participants.
Check out GMI.
GMI, great, great project.
Great, great project.
I don't know who brought everybody in here.
I don't know who brought everybody in here.
I don't know if they're trolling or if they came in because they're about to mint some bad, some badass billiards.
Maybe they're getting ready to mint.
What do you think, Batty?
Yeah, that's, I think it sounds like a great idea.
Yeah.
No, if they are hopping in, yeah, head on over to GMI.
We put it in the Jumbotron above.
So there's a link you can easy access.
And again, for those who joined late, 80-20 refundable mints.
So that gives you a layer of security as a minter that you have that option.
We went that route because we feel very confident that as a holder you'll be rewarded in many different ways.
Using the GMI platform is another great way to be rewarded as a holder.
I was just kind of going through it myself, looking at some of the stuff I had points that I had earned in all that business.
And I thought, man, this really is like an undiscovered gem, so to speak.
So, yeah, if you're unfamiliar, hop on GMI,
look at the reward system and start earning.
Love it. And if you meant one, you get one free. So don't leave,
don't leave it on the table. I'm trying to get my money over there quick.
I want a one-on-one, but even if I don't get it, that's okay.
My community members will love it. I'll save one for myself and others for the community members.
That's what we do in the forest.
We share.
Oh, my goodness.
By the way, Gabby, I think we're for sure.
You know a lot of people on the Shibarian blockchain?
There are some NFTs that are on the Shibarian blockchain.
We have 2D Fruity Women.
I don't want to, we have the Sheba Sequoia Forest. We have so many, you know, we have so many people
on the blockchain on Shibarium and the great projects and would love to see, you know, some
of our community members on Shibarium receive some of these NFTs that are being given out here. And I did tag them, tag some great people in our community and like vice versa,
there's great people in this community too. And we can also share people. So,
and that's what we have to do. We have to share. And once we learn about each other
and share across chains, we'll be better for it. So the Shiva Sequoia Forest will have some
bat-a-billiards and we'll be collecting more so that we can share across the system and get to know each other a little bit better.
What NFT marketplace do you guys use there?
So I've been using, I want to say they're still getting that together, but I know I've been using, we have Mantra Protocol that we buy NFTs from and also ship co-op.io and
they also have our metaverse lands so they are going to make their own marketplace I do believe
that's still being made if I'm incorrect please Calvin or somebody please come up and correct me
but I have bought several there's ship dream and FTS those are all sold out so you have to go to
but several there's SHIB Dream NFTs.
Those are all sold out.
So you have to go to, you know,
to the floor to purchase Little Dream NFTs.
I had made, there's also SHIB Co-op Chickens.
We do have some of those.
I have some of those in my wallet,
but unfortunately I lost my seed phrase to my MetaMask.
I hate to say that, but it is true. And I bought a lot of
NFTs for my community right here in North Carolina and could not give them away because I have to
find my seed phrase. My wallet is locked up. So there's lots of NFTs. And you can, like I said,
go to shibcoop.io, which is a marketplace. Mantra is also a marketplace that we've been utilizing too.
And I want to say they're still working on their marketplace, but they allow other marketplaces,
even though, like you said earlier, Tommy, they are competition. But I think if everybody kind
of gets in there, you can make your choice of where you want to buy your NFT. And we all like
to support each other.
So, you know, it's better to have cooperation than sometimes the competition.
But that is your choice.
And that's totally up to you.
But I definitely want to say just on my behalf, I like to support all marketplaces because everybody, there's enough room for everybody to thrive.
We just, you know, just got to work together. So I'm going to say I've had several, several NFTs that I have bought over time and also one as well. So I like to give back when somebody gives me, give back to the project and give people is through NFTs and sometimes also giving out cryptocurrency as well.
We just, you know, just got to work together.
It depends on how familiar people are with blockchain technology in general.
Sometimes you have to start a little bit slower and get crypto because NFTs are, you know,
sometimes a little bit harder for our Web2 participants who are just learning about the blockchain.
Some of them still don't know that Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. You would be amazed. I was like, oh, everybody has to know
about this certain token. That is not true. So yeah, it's the education of people in Web2.
And I think somebody said at last space, Web2 is where the money, you know, where the money is at
the current moment. So we need to bring those Web 2 people in and bring them in safely and kind of, you know, graduate them to DeFi, not necessarily start them off there and maybe have some classes.
So if you're able, your ability to do those types of things, I know myself and another young lady are working on starting to have some classes where we're going to teach about blockchain technology and, you know, just simple stuff right now.
You know, how do you know what is Coinbase or crypto dot com or where can you even purchase crypto?
You know, some people are at that stage and it's not easy, but it's necessary to help people on board and to onboard safely. So that's where I've been
beginning. I will say the one-on-one sometimes takes, it takes a while. I was onboarding someone,
I want to say a couple nights ago, and it took about, you know, two or three hours. We met at
Starbucks and we sat for a while. They're very hungry and interested. You have hungry people in Web 2, very hungry people.
But they're not always eager to get onto the Internet and Twitter and listen to a space or, you know, they want that one-on-one.
And they're willing to do what you say, even though you tell them not financial advice.
I want you to read this.
I want you to do that.
And sit there with them and kind of handhold.
I have done that.
It does help some people.
And for other people, they're a little bit more advanced and they just want to go.
But you have to say, hey, slow down, slow down.
And we want to help you and we want you to do it safely.
So I'm one of those people that said, don't rush into everything.
Let's talk about it.
And I want to shout out Calvin J down there as well, if he's still here.
Helped me onboard the other young lady from a couple nights ago.
So all three of us were on the phone talking, but we know we can do that in a better fashion
and gain more traction and more people if we kind of open it up to more people in our community.
So definitely going gonna do that, gonna get flyers out
and hopefully have a course or so
and build upon the foundational aspects
of the blockchain technology, cryptocurrency.
And hopefully people will continue to come.
So we've been looking for places
and definitely found a couple, three,
narrowed down to three,
and would like to introduce people to crypto slowly
and then eventually building blocks lead to projects. So, uh, yeah, it takes time. And like you said,
it takes a lot of time, but, uh, definitely worth it. If we want this space to grow,
we can't forget about those who are in our, in our web two arena. So
and I'll leave it there. I know we're trying to close down, but I probably talked a whole lot.
I need to get my bad A-bell here.
That was good, Gabby.
And I was just saying because we, you know, if there's demand there from the Shibarium chain, we can look at deploying there.
We're getting much better and faster deploying on chains.
So thanks to our kind of like AI first approach, we're getting much better and faster deploying on chains. So thanks to our kind of like AI first approach,
we're getting,
getting much faster at that.
So if that interest is there,
I'll just throw that out there.
By the way,
on the,
on the bad a side,
who minted that?
Who minted that one?
Do you know?
I saw like the.
Yeah,
that's funny.
You said it.
I'm pretty sure you minted it.
Let's go.
Did I get it?
I'm trying to find out if I got it.
Okay, let me see.
I'm like looking through them right now.
Who owns this one?
Is this it?
Oh, I think Eric has one like that.
I think Eric might have got it.
Eric has...
No, it's a different one.
Let's see.
I'm scrolling through. That would be awesome if got it you know do you know what number it is
i think 310 310 let's see i think
310 yeah looks like it 310 yes i got it looks like it.
310.
Yes, I got it.
Let's go.
You see?
That's what happens when you mint on the spaces, you guys.
You got to do it sometimes.
Buy one, get one free.
Maybe I got another one.
You never know.
Yeah.
Love it.
For sure.
Check through them. I was just messaging Zach, our artist.
We're ecstatic, man.
Yeah.
So that's
for the end of the day. And yeah, lots of mints coming through. We've got a fire underneath,
man. We're ecstatic. So thank you guys. You know, when you're trying to mint something out,
it's quite a task. So we appreciate all the mints. You guys are awesome.
Yeah. And sweet art, man. I love, these are, these are awesome. How, how rare is this one that I got?
So there are four or five of the eight ball crowns. It's listed as a one of one. So it
will go in the category of one of ones, but, um, there's a few different eight ball crown one of ones so it's up there
it's up there yeah let's go I love it I like this one too it's got 13 on the
lucky number I like 13 actually like that number and I got the ace in the
hand yeah like it cool Cool, man. Sweet.
Good times, you guys.
I guess we should just sit down here until it mints out.
No, I'm just joking.
I just wanted to announce the winners
for today's basis for the 100 USDC reward poll.
Surprisingly, very few people
actually participated in that.
So if you guys have not done it, we do it this every week.
So next week you can come in, go onto our Airdrop site
and get your referral link from the Airdrop dashboard.
We always post it on the spaces.
So the first winner is Farouk, Faroumka5, F-A-R-O-U-M-K-A 5, McFly, and Mviti, both from the last two from our Energizer Raiders.
If you are an Energizer Raiders, Mviti and McFly, like, you know, congratulations.
If you are part of the EnergyZELE group, the special energizer raider group,
you are guaranteed a spot, two spots every week.
Our ex-bot picker picks up the people
that have submitted their referral link
in the comment section.
The bot looks for different things.
How recent is your X account, whether
you're following us or not, your activity page and, you know, there are like different
things here along with your referral link.
So this way, like, you know, nobody's gaming the system.
So congratulations winners.
You have two hours.
Open up the ticket and claim the reward
Thank you mark for that and I think as we are up Sulzaki is back
Welcome back Sulzaki. I know we're getting ready to have maybe some closing thoughts as we are up. So Zaki is back. Welcome back to Zaki. Now we're getting ready to have maybe
some closing thoughts as we are. Unless you know, hey, that I just still maintain we can
still stay until as much now. So I don't know what's going on, but I'm having some
phone. Mark, please reach her discord message, please. And as we continue to throughout the space and we're getting ready to close out, I didn't know if there was any more questions. I want to take a last look at the at the section where we can ask questions below the energy.
post for today's space. And I'm just looking to see. We do have a question from NestorSol.Sol.
That wasn't answered. That was just posted about 28 minutes ago. Are there, Tommy, are there, or Mark,
are there any specific actions required to unlock or maximize airdrop rewards?
unlock or maximize airdrop rewards um like maximizing i mean man just go through the
airdrop activities like uh again just referring people like some of these past seasons i saw like
uh you know like there were like maybe like 30 referrals, and there was like a million GMI in that pool.
So each person you referred was worth like 30,000 GMI,
which is absolutely nuts.
That's a lot of GMI per person.
So I would go through all the Airdrop programs
and look for some easy, low-hanging fruit to max out.
There's a lot of opportunity there, man, for people who tune in and value the GMI.
There's a lot of low-hanging fruit.
And it's not always going to be that easy.
I'll tell you guys, we've been very generous in what we've given out.
It's going to get harder for people to earn GMI the more time that goes on.
So take advantage of these times.
Go refer people.
I'm telling you, take your referral link,
go into whatever groups you're involved in, right?
Everyone's got their groups.
They're in a Discord community or a Telegram community.
Whatever community you're in, you go and tell them.
You go be like, hey, guys.
So this guy actually created what the AI is ranking as the best tokenomics.
Actually, let me tell you guys, it's actually really funny.
You know, O3 is like the, I think O3 is the smartest AI model, right?
I was talking to it today.
And I was like, it was rating through two different assessments.
It rated the tokenomics that I have that we did for GMI.
One rating was 9.88 and the other one was like 9.62 or something.
And then the next closest to me was ranked like three or four out of 10.
Like that's the gap between what we have built and the competition.
Like the next, like the second and second place is like three or four out of 10.
They were at 9.6, 9.8.
Like, come on. on so go go tell your
friends be like yo guys this guy actually created like what may be the best tokenomics that have
ever hit this space like go go get go get some tokens you know and they're pretty easy to get
right now you want to go refer your friends like why don't you just go get them in and i i need to
like tune in as as i gain capacity because i've had i've had our season one
went viral i think because i made these uh i i made this airdrop um it's it's a essentially it's
an incentive engine i made it a lot more advanced and complex to reward all this different activity
but i think it kind of took away a little bit of virality factor from it so like as i gain time as i regain some time or whatever find some clearing in time i'm going to
work on um increasing the virality but it doesn't have to be it doesn't have to be viral not
everything has to be viral obviously it's nice to be viral don't get me wrong but the point i'm
making is well that's that's just you're more that's more advantage for you that it's not viral because if it's viral, then, you know,
20,000 people are going to join tomorrow and your rewards are going to dilute a lot. So why don't
you take advantage of it while it's not viral? That'd probably be pretty smart. Well, you could
just go tell your friends about it and they can go stack up their GMI and like people who have
been doing that again, props to them. And I know some of you guys have like some some of the people here have a lot of gmi and i'm
happy for them i'm like cool man that's what you get for being a committed a committed uh community
member good for you man that's your reward and you earned it so uh you know take advantage of it
that's up for grabs for everybody if you care care, if you tune in, if you participate, then you're stacking rewards and, uh, you're
going to reap, you're going to reap the rewards, you know?
And, uh, so that's what I would say.
I would say, uh, go take your, go take it to your communities, go spread the word far
and wide.
I'm like, uh, i'm getting like visions of like
like we're in like portugal and i'm sending the ships all across the ocean go spread the word
far and wide you know seriously though you know tell them tell them about tell them about the
promised land tell them about gmi you know get get them in seriously um you know and uh get them to
see the vision and come join our spaces.
Come listen to our spaces.
Or go look at our application.
We've got a sweet application, our marketplace.
And we're doing pretty good.
They should get in.
And that payday is coming.
It's not extremely far away now.
It's probably going to be end of this year.
I'm not setting that a stone. I've told be end of this year i'm not setting that a stone i've told you guys that before i'm not setting that stone if i have to
i'll push the tg a little bit into next year i don't really want to i'll be candid about that
i really want to release it this year so but i i need to i need to release this token when the
market is hot so and it's not obviously not hot right now it's still pretty cold it's a little
bit cold out there wear a coat uh especially for us all for the altcoins man it's still cold man ethereum's finally starting
to breathe you know finally uh ethereum's still ethereum like historical undervaluations even
today so we still got it we still got a little ways to go with altcoins but when the market is hot, then GMI will be born and the games will begin.
And anyway, I don't want to ramble.
So yeah, so long story short, go tell your friends, get them plugged in, get your friends
to refer their friends and start just stacking up some GMI and put it as like a lottery ticket.
Treat it like a lottery ticket.
You know, like it could change your life, maybe.
Possibly. I don't know. I don't want to promise anything.
Maybe. Just go do it.
And it doesn't cost you anything
but a little bit of time and effort.
So, yeah.
And that's one thing that we have.
We have time. So, since we have time,
not a lot of time, like you said,
when the
floodgates open, they open. And so, get it while you can. have we have time so since we have time not a lot of time like you said but when the um when the
floodgates open they open um and so get it while you can and uh i think we lost mark but i think
we'll start going around uh mark i i don't see him uh he might be requesting i hope he is nope
i don't think he is uh i think we might have lost him for a second but while he's out i think we might have lost him for a second, but while he's out, I think we'll go around and kind of circle around and then let Solzaki play us out as we get ready to close the space.
This is a great space. Thank you.
