Oh, oh, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West, Mr. Fresh, Mr. By-Hisself, he's so impressed.
I mean, damn, did you even see the test?
You got D's, my, the D's, Rosie Perez, and yes, Billy Paz, any and every class, lookin'
at every end, cheated on every test, I guess, this is my dissertation, homie, this is basic.
Welcome to graduation.
Good morning.
Good morning.
On this day we become legendary, everything we dreamed of, I'm like the fly Malcolm X by
any genes necessary, Detroit red cleaned up, from the streets of the league, from an eighth
to a key, but you graduate when you make it up out of the streets, from the moments of
the pain, look how far we became, haters saying your chains, now you doing your things.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Look at the valedictorian, scared of the future while I hop in in DeLorean, scared to face the
world from placing career student, some people graduate but be still stupid, they tell you
read this, eat this, don't look around, just keep this, read this, teach this, teach
this, okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness, after all of that, you received
this, good morning.
Hello, hello everyone, I am having some audio issues here, so could you guys give me a thumbs
up if you can hear me or not?
That's good, that's nice, I'm not sure what is going on, but famously Whiskey, the co-host
is always late, so we have no exception this week, which is not a big problem, we're used
to it by now, he's not accepting the co-host invitation, no problem.
Let me just try to see what's going on here with my audio, and I'm not sure why this is
happening.
Whiskey, can you come up my man, and if not, we'll start slowly kicking it off, waiting
for some people to come in as well, hey Whiskey, maybe Whiskey's there, maybe.
Can you just give me a bloody second so I can get my shit figured out?
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and doggos, humping unicorns and chickens,
welcome welcome welcome welcome to Alpha with Elio, edition 12, alongside Own the Doge,
Metro Doge's, and NFT token, can we get a round of applause, well I mean how can dogs
and cats and chickens really applaud if they don't really have feet, interesting.
Can we get a bok bok, a meow, and a wolf wolf for the speakers today, no, you fucking suck,
way to ruin such a great introduction, you know what I mean, way to ruin it.
No, it's so good, it's so good, give me a second, let me get the other guys up here,
welcome, M. Mark, self-certified, oh sorry, not self-certified, certified AVEX OG of course,
maybe a little bit Solana in there too.
Let me see, I think, was Gris coming up as well Whiskey, could you double check?
I know that he just finished up his Mexicano space, our gringo himself was a little bit
busy, but he might be showing up, let me just follow up and give him a little nudge nudge
cock cock.
Yeah, I'm not sure if the dog crowd understands the bok bok jokes, but it's all good.
To give some, let's say, cultural relevance to this, the bok bok comes from the cock
in you meme, which is the number one meme going on AVEX, hence the bok bok and the cock jokes,
it's C-O-Q and not C-O-C-K, but all good, M. Mark, how have you been doing today, man?
I mean, it's been a great day, I checked the charts and you know what, it doesn't matter
if my bags are going up or down, it just matters that I'm here and still, you know,
again, I don't know, man, my bags are down bad, don't ask me why.
But you know, as an AVEX OG, I did want to say that it's good to be here, it's good
to be in an AVEX certified space, you know, Elio, you know, why is, who's this ghost?
Why is, I never heard of him, but hold this dog, it's a pleasure.
You're boring, you're boring, you're fucking boring, that's all I got to say.
Yeah, that's what you're, you'll never mind, you know, never mind, don't even say that.
On to the next, and Mark, you already took too much of our time with your boring nonsense.
All right, on to the next one, ladies and gentlemen, let's bring up our next panel speaker.
Who is behind on the doge?
Hey, what's up, my name is Smoke.
Ooh, you caught me off guard, Smoke.
You definitely caught me off guard, that must have been-
Yeah, it happens a lot.
But myself, I'm up here in Tri-Dog, the top dog is up here as well, so yeah, happy to
be with you guys today.
Can we just, can we get a little bit of an introduction about you Smoke, who you are,
what you represent, and what you do for the great token itself, the doggo?
I do a little bit of everything, helping the project to, but do you want to hear about
Own the Doge, or like me personally?
No, we always like to do personal introductions.
You can be completely oblivious to it.
We don't need to know everything.
I just like to let you know a little bit of the nitty gritty, that's all.
So I help to lead like ops, partnerships, kind of just work together with our awesome
all-star team and our Doge Improvement Council, which some of those members are up here today.
And yeah, we're just kind of spreading the word of Doge.
We've done some super dope things this past year, such as building a bronze statue for Doge
in Japan.
So if you go to Google Maps and you type in kabosu the Doge, you'll actually see this
really sick statue that we crowdfunded and built alongside the Dogecoin Foundation and
NFD and many other super awesome projects.
And then we also commissioned International Doge Day.
We have a Hollywood produced film coming out, documentary for Doge.
We recently did a super insane airdrop on base where we dropped to about 1.5 million holders.
So we have a ton of dog holders right now.
And then just to give a little synopsis as to what is dog, basically, the Dow that started
us pleaser Dow purchased and fractionalized the Doge NFT, which is actually that famous
meme that you've seen.
It was minted and put for sale by Tsuko Sato, who is the owner of the actual dog Doge.
So that's why we always say that we're backed or we're kind of like a backed meme coin,
a backed project that believes in provenance.
And then we have a fellow member up here, Path, who has started some projects and most
notably Feisty Dow and then other projects as well that are deeply rooted in that same
belief of provenance and just, yeah, super happy to be here.
So that was a lot of information.
Mamma Mia Smoke, you really got me, got me moving and shaking this morning.
That is a great little bit of download.
Everybody who was in this space definitely should have had their ears perking when I
heard what I heard.
And just a little tea of yellow for everybody.
Elio actually was in Japan when the statue actually got shown and introduced to the
world. You might, you might catch Elio and that ugly mug behind that beautiful
statue. If you, if you, if you go back in his timeline, just to let you know.
Anyways, on to the next speaker.
Try. I know you've been patient.
I know you've been great.
Let's hear a little bit about you, my guy.
What's going on, everyone?
I am a humble servant of a dog photograph as well.
Shout out Smoke and Path up here.
Yeah, you know, basically was part of, was part of Pleaser and helped, helped with the
kind of original forming of the dog.
Dow. And since we've basically been this, you know, ministry of culture of Doge from
creating a statue to we're working on a feature-length documentary.
We've made probably one of the biggest pieces of Doge art on a beach in Ireland.
Like it's been, it's been, it's been a wild ride and it's only going to get more wild
with some of the things we're thinking about doing on November 2nd for Doge Day this
year. We're going to launch some very dope products and merch through the store this
quarter, this next quarter.
So there's a lot, there's always something really exciting happening every, every month.
Hey, got to love it, got to love it, got to love it.
God, this is going to be a great space.
That's all I got to say. No, Mark, put your fucking hand down.
You ain't. I just have a quick talk right now.
Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hold, hold, hold them cheeks.
OK. It's for try. It's for try first.
It's for try. No, it's not a good question.
Keep that fucking hand down.
Meet that mic. Well, let's get through the panel speakers.
I'm just going to say try, I was a bit disappointed.
I thought it was going to be three people behind the, you know, speaking because it's
dry dog. So like, where are the other two people?
I don't know. This is this is what you just muted me for.
For Christ's sakes. All right.
Aren't there somebody a little bit more interesting path?
Let's get sexy. Come on.
How are you doing?
We're good. Whiskey, did you have a question for him?
I think that the introduction, correct?
Yeah, it was literally the introduction, but I'll take a how you do it.
Pat, let me know a little bit about yourself.
Let the beautiful group in our space know a little bit about who Pat is
and what he represents.
And so I've been a kind of situated for almost 11 years now
and a few years ago, I fractionized an image of Kibosu and Faisi Doge NFT.
And then that was so inspired and the doge to come into existence.
Please, I don't know if they fractionized their token as well.
And the idea here is really like we have these amazing works about the very famous
and by fractionizing it, we can enable everyone to own it instead of just one
person or one entity.
And then that allows us to kind of build a community around
I mean, this this piece of the culture.
All right, beautiful.
Good, good, good, good, good.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Now on to the two final remaining panel speakers.
Spring roll, I'll let you introduce yourself first.
If you go with your regular introduction, I'm probably going to have to squeeze
some cheeks in NFT NYC.
Go ahead.
Everyone loves the spring roll.
Guys, I've been around in the space for a while.
Hop on space with Elio, hop on space with Whiskey, hop on spaces for conferences
or other stuff.
I talk about things that are happening in Web 3 or
if you want to trade, I can help there.
If you want to learn about building, we can talk about that all day long.
Yeah, different type of introduction whiskey.
I will be there in NFT NYC.
Looking forward to meet anyone.
If you want to connect already ahead of time, shoot me, please, a DM
so we can get chatting.
And then we can maybe set something up in NYC.
Nice, a nice subtle.
Very subtle, but all good.
Now I wanted to touch on Beth.
Like I feel Beth is always the most humble guy I've ever met.
I think he deserves some extra credit.
So that being said, here is that and some some hand claps for me.
Or how do you say it in English?
I don't know.
But yeah, so he's on the on the I would say on par with Kobe and the other guys,
which if you don't know, are the guys from the up only show and some other stuff.
They're still private.
I don't know when when Kobe back.
But yeah, he's among the bigger OG tiers, I would say, like the real OGs,
not the 2021, 2017 OGs, like even beyond that.
So I just want to have that said, without further ado with that,
who wants to take the first carrot?
Like, Beth, do you want to shoot it off or on the doge?
Do you want to shoot it off or whiskey?
Well, one thing I wanted to say.
Oh, I didn't realize if retro doges wasn't speaking, but I definitely
we definitely need a shout out retro doges, too.
You know, you see, you'll get ahead of himself sometimes.
He's supposed to let his lovable co-hosts introduce everybody here.
So before before we even get ahead of it, let's give a warm welcome
to the legends themselves, retro doges.
And I'm hoping I'm hoping I'm hoping it's Louise behind that PFP.
Jim Hall. Yeah.
Thank you for welcoming us here.
Very happy to chat with you before before continuing.
I guess you guys forgot to add Ultron, who is a committee manager at NFD
and is working with us on all our projects, including retro doges.
So I guess it would be cool to add him up as speaker.
It'll be it'll be adding much more details.
But, yeah, we we are a PFP project
which allow you to have 3D also in the smart contracts
and where you can impersonate your your PFP, your retro doge.
So you can play, take it to life, two different metaverses,
Vtube, even Google meetings.
We had a cool chat and Google meeting with on the doge team and work also.
So the idea was to
converge arts and utility.
And we've been incubated by NFT.
Now we started developing the project in
May 2022, and it took us more than a year to develop that
because you not only have this PFP project, PFP development,
but also on the side, the VRM file, the GLB files that allows you to play in 3D.
So it took quite some time and we are happy that it finally came out
and we minted out a few, few days, few weeks ago.
And we are happy about that. Thank you, guys.
No worries. Yeah, I think it was also due.
I tried to bring on Ultron, but he is not accepting.
So either the space is bugging for him, so he might need to come up again.
But I tried to add him in several times already.
So Ultron, if you're hearing me, could you leave the space
and then come back up again and we'll try to get you there?
Once we're in that process, let's kick it off with on the doge.
So obviously I'm on the council, so I'm involved.
But I want to hear what is on the doge
and what makes it truly unique and different
than maybe the meme coin season, which we see right now.
Like, what's what's the edge of like doge?
Or only doge.
Just before we get to hearing the lovely smoke speak,
everybody currently in the space right now, I need 69 comments,
69 retweets for the culture in this space.
Share it to everybody.
Anybody a non non and on that, you know, right now, if I can get 69.
Maybe, maybe not.
We'll do something nice for the community of the Doritos.
Yeah, and in the end, what what's what whiskey is trying to say
and like subtle boomer words is that there will be a giveaway
at the end and it will be your soul.
Can we speculate, can we fucking speculate right now?
And then they're aware of the carrots and the carrot is
dangling in front of them and at the end we'll do the giveaway.
I'm going to start calling Emilio a donkey because he likes carrots.
Carrots, I'm a donkey carrot, carrot.
No, but without further ado, let's circle back in.
There is going to be a giveaway.
One hundred USD in the dog supplied by me.
And that's it. So on the doge, kick it off.
Yes. Do you want me to?
So I think I gave a little background on the fact that, yeah,
basically we we hold that doge NFT and we fractionalized it into dogs.
So it's a really cool kind of somewhat rare situation
where you have the actual provenance of the owner of doge,
you know, creating this NFT and then a community,
a large community that comes from it because it's not just one group
you know, owning the doge or owning the NFT.
It's a really large group of people,
especially if you look at the fact that recently we did this crazy
airdrop with a ton of help from Path and who masterminded it.
And we had a lot of collapse surrounding it.
And now we have like over a million holders on base specifically.
But it kind of brings everything to the next level and lets you see
the power of fractionalization and the fact that we're able to have
so many unique people from across the world now holding dog.
And it's an amazing thing.
And we also consider it a big responsibility as to, you know,
how can we best represent the ethos of doge of do only good every day?
And how can we bring doge where she's never been before?
One other lesser known fact is that we do hold like the exclusive
endorsement or licensing from it.
Suko Sato, who is the owner of doge.
So that gives us the ability to bring the brand up to a higher level
and kind of have that copyright and or ability to bring this to larger brands.
And yeah, we're just super excited to continue working with the doge community
and building our project and really bullish on our team and our community.
And the fact that you guys had us on today and are kind of like
meshing these different blockchains and these different worlds together,
I think is really awesome.
And it's something we've always strived to kind of break the barriers between
because I think that in a way, at least, you know, some years back,
maybe crypto is becoming more mainstream, it seems.
But a few years back, it was a little more niche to an extent.
And I think that that next level is this cross block chain movement
that we're seeing now.
That's very good.
I want to give one note, like I think whiskey, what sex is the dog?
Well, they keep on they keep on saying she's a she.
So I'm going to put my money and gamble on she.
OK, that's good.
I was just checking if you were paying attention.
But yeah, most people don't know that it's it's a female dog and not a male dog.
I don't know.
Generally, someone's found the sound board, but generally speaking,
yeah, like the misconception is that they my I thought is the same as well.
A few years back, like, hey, that's it's a guy dog, right?
But yeah, that it's it was an interesting take.
I think learning lessons in there.
Yeah, whiskey, did you have a counter question for for for smoke to follow up?
Well, I'm addressing the suite.
Particularly myself, I actually had a great conversation
alongside of both Ultron and Louise.
Yesterday, we had a little bit of an AMA in the space, and
it was actually quite interesting to see everything that's all involved,
especially in regards to feisty down.
So the biggest question I had yesterday, and which made me a little bit more
particularly bullish on smoke is where does feisty down play a part with on the doge?
I feel like we've I don't want to say we've merged, but we definitely have
so many similarities and interests and our teams have kind of really come together
as a family, I would say, a path being the founder and now being on our council,
head of tokenomics, many of the other community members, Vandy,
actually, to be honest, they are like family dojo, Ultron, Lewis,
you know, you name it, everybody from their community dress,
everyone that we've met from their community is literally top quality
people, just like humble, kind, innovative, extremely intelligent.
And I think that the fact that we both are kind of
we come from such a similar movement that happened when these these photos were
dropped, these NFTs were dropped, and they came from the source.
And now the way the market has moved, it's like people are starting to
recognize the value of provenance, the value of memes at a higher level.
And they've seen these meme coin cycles where although they're super fun,
a lot of times you don't really see this almost stable meme coin,
which is something path was touching upon yesterday in a amazing interview
he had with Foundation.
But I think that we are part of a movement of setting things right.
The blockchain is meant to kind of give ownership at a higher level.
And maybe the blockchain will be what the new world will be built upon.
And what we're doing is we're bringing the source to what's become famous.
So, you know, if you saw somebody that was in a famous meme,
but they never received anything for it, well, we're finding those people,
especially Feisty Dao specifically.
But I think on the doge as well as actually creating our own memes.
So like a good example of this is Bad luck Brian and then doge 13 years later.
We took a photograph of them the first time we went down to Japan
and this became very viral.
We did make it an NFT and also it was super viral on Reddit.
I had the honor of posting it there last year.
And it was the most popular post in May on all of Reddit.
So we have this kind of crazy meme portal that we've opened between our two projects
and then the retro doge is add a whole nother layer to it.
And yeah, and shout out as well to people like Elio who have come in
and absolutely added this missing presence to our project as well.
And so I think at this point, we now have like all of these amazing people
that have come together to kind of steer this movement towards something more
than anything it could have been if we had done it apart.
Yeah, I love that.
I think what I noticed the most from like the movement by itself,
I think it's kind of a unified.
Like there were a lot of discussions when meme coins came.
I'm going to make like a bridge here.
We saw a lot of discussion when Avix is kind of like buying meme coins
to the foundation, right, or supporting culture is kind of the way.
And we saw so much backlash from certain communities and like,
why are they doing this?
Why this? Hey, doge is shit.
This and that like they were putting a lot of like
I'm just trying to find the words without becoming like a monologue here.
So they were all trashing doge essentially, dogecoin and other things,
which is usually confused with like on the doge.
Like it's two separate things.
We're friends, they're friends.
But yeah, I think memes kind of are the kind of language of the new youth.
Right. And like the Gen X, Gen Z, like they
and even us boomers like whiskey, we communicate through memes
like what, nine out of 10 times.
So it's kind of like a universal language off of the Internet.
And that's why I believe so highly in this meme provenance
and everything flowing out of that and also very supportive of the Avic side
where the foundation is trying to back the culture
essentially where other foundations didn't.
I think it's very lovely to see that path.
I want to deep dive a little bit on what you're cooking right now,
because I've seen some stuff yesterday.
It wasn't an extremely busy day,
but something is going on with some maybe Elon thing or not.
I will let you do the talking. But what's going on there?
Hey, yeah.
So I'm really pushing the entire provenance system this week.
We've had three, three different projects sort of come up.
Yeah, yesterday's was Elon RWA.
So we have the famous badly drawn portrait of Elon Musk.
That's gone viral a few times that that their physical one,
the original one came with us to Japan on those day.
One of the members of Faisse d'Al, Lujai Joe.
He bought this original from the artist a couple of years ago.
And he was some into it as an NFT.
And now what we've done is we've made a name calling
that essentially represents ownership of this asset
both the NFT and the physical version.
You can go and watch the physical version on on the stream on YouTube.
It's in a nice class case in a frame.
Yeah, we're kind of looking at a fun play
on having a reward asset meme coin, I believe it's the first one.
Yeah, so you can you can go and own this portrait of Elon Musk
and trade it on base.
A rumor has it.
It's the best self portrait of Elon Musk done by himself, but it's just me.
Can I ask a question?
Is he standing beside his cock rocket?
No, he's not.
Oh, man, that would have been fucking the greatest meme ever.
I mean, Elon was a doge day last year, so you see it like proof is there.
I mean, it's been up there like a mark.
Isn't that Elon?
I mean, you have your hand up, so.
Yeah, it's definitely, you know, I don't know anyone that would say otherwise,
to be honest, but
yeah, I mean, that's Elon.
I did have a question.
I don't know if I can.
Yeah, no, go.
OK, so on the doge, I have a question for you, you know,
from one dog to another.
What do you think is the what do you say would be the future of on the doge?
And like, let's say five years from now, doge, this doge kind is on the doge.
Do you think on the doge flips doge?
It's it's it's something that you think, oh, we're going to go more viral.
Is it something you're like, nah, it's not a competition.
You know, we do our thing.
They do their thing.
And what do you have to say to anyone right now that doesn't own the doge?
I would say it's not a competition for sure.
We really like the Dogecoin Foundation.
We're good friends with them.
They actually came down to celebrate the unveiling of the statue that we built.
And so there were a couple of representatives there.
And I know that Dogecoin being a blockchain as well is going to have some
really cool stuff down the line that we're going to get to see.
Maybe or maybe not in tandem with Elon.
That said, I think that from a if I were going to look at from a competitive
perspective, which I'm trying not to, I would say we have a lot going for us.
Our team, our desire to build at a higher level, maybe, you know, have our own
blockchain one day down the line, if that's something that becomes more
normalized or realistic, I think that what we're doing is much more culture
based. I think we have a lot of members within our community that actually are
Dogecoin enthusiasts and maxis and holders.
And I think that there's just a desire right now for that culture, that
community, people that are out there and just trying to work with everyone
and working for a higher purpose than really just a token alone.
So I think that's brought us all together.
As far as why should you own the Doge?
You know, you can ask Pat.
He says everyone, you know, should own the Doge or will own the Doge.
Tri-Dog has been beating the drum on this forever.
I think I know we didn't mention this, but just as a side note, we're always
doing the most insane, like crazy things you could imagine.
This year for Doge Day 2024, we are very likely, and I want to say
guaranteed, going to break a Guinness World Record at the event.
So we're always trying to push the limit.
We're always trying to do the most insane and awesome thing that we can think of.
And I think that, especially for me, like for my personal experience,
I'm kind of a serious person.
I'm sure many of my coworkers know this.
But the fact that I got involved with this, like really fun, happy, amazing
movement, like I feel like it's really changed me as a person and helped me
to grow and like just have more confidence because it's given me a
family that I really never had.
So, yeah, I mean, you can't replace that type of thing.
And then really just the positive vibes and the constant innovation that we
see within our group, within our friend circle, NFT, geniuses like
Path, retro Doge's, you're not going to see an NFT like this retro Doge NFT.
If you really look into what they're building, it's mind blowing.
So I think all of this together makes us extremely powerful.
Yeah, I also would like to, Amark, does it answer your question, my man?
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, you just said to own Doge and own the Doge.
And if you don't own the Doge, you're not going to make it.
That's just what she said.
So let's fucking go.
Yeah, I think and Tribe maybe can answer on this as well, which I
will shoot it towards next.
I think it's a meme coin, which is essentially backed by a physical
asset, right?
Like I think and the same goes for NFT.
Like that's the difference here where, yes, we have a cock, but
the cock is not backed by a world famous cock picture as an example,
or we have a base guard on base, I don't know, which is not backed
by this or anything else, which and that's what I think what the
big difference is here, that there is an actual IP backing it, which
makes it so, I don't want to call it revolutionary, but makes
it so different.
And that's why I'm so bullish on the council as well.
Like that's why I love the idea.
It's super crazy.
They do crazy activations like this Doge day where Taze Sunday
and Badlock Brian were there last year, this year, maybe
something else will happen too.
More on that later, but Tribe, I want to shoot it to you.
What made you kind of like, well, how did you end up at
Pleaser or own the Doge?
Yeah, I think the nail in the head, right?
It's like there's so many meme coins out there, which it was
fun while it lasted.
But now when you can have a meme coin that as path would
call it a Providence coin that actually has like a backing,
like it's actually tied back to the meme that's being
appreciated and it actually supports like the creator of
the subject of that meme.
It just, I mean, it just makes like perfect sense.
And this is what happens in the art world too.
The Providence is super key, right?
Like you can, you know, it's not like if anyone's seen like
the Lost Leonardo documentary where it's like everyone's
saying this is like a Leonardo painting and it gets all
this hype and basically becomes a meme itself, but
it's not even like tied.
There's no provenance back to like Leonardo da Vinci at
the end of the day, like it's like is there really
actually, you know, like what you're not really like
drawing this line back it this historic line to the
legend where it all started and so that's what's so
cool with like the Doge NFT being purchased by our
Dow bought directly from Otsuko Sato and Kabusu the
IRL Doge in Japan, like she had never taken a penny
off of this, you know, she's a six-year-old kindergarten
teacher, you know, she like she doesn't know like crypto
and memes and like she literally just was like appreciating
her dog on her blog, you know, and Kabusu became an
early and early dog influencer on the Internet and
then became a meme on Reddit and then became a crypto
subject at the face of the cryptocurrency, but like
no one there was no real tieback to it until until
on the Doge and NFT and I think that's what we're
gonna see a trend of this happening more and more
I guess with like the Elon the beautiful Elon drawing
what on what was it?
It was I was I think that's another sole one was tied
back like they created a meme and then fractionalized
it. So I think it's like it's a trend that's happening.
It's going to continue to happen.
It's like it would have been so awesome for Pepe,
you know, like that saw so much support to actually been
tied back into you know, some of the a lot of there's
so much amazing fan art around Pepe and it's like
it's not tied back into anything.
You know, it's like so I mean, it's and I also don't
think it's even too late, right?
Like I think like it's a lot of like even like you
know, I think we saw quite the battle with dog with
hat path help facilitate that auction and that
family in Korea getting getting you know, being
able to take advantage of this meme coin that
happened around their photo of their dog again and
you know, it would have been awesome to see
that community buy it and like put it back into like
the Treasury because kind of like NFT has done is
like purchased all these memes and and built this
like meme meme exhibit gallery, whatever you want
to call it of all these like famous memes with sitting
within the Treasury of the Dow.
It's really cool.
I think it's it's it makes perfect sense and what
we've been able to do and what's I think has been
exciting how I even got involved.
This is like I'm kind of in this weird Ben
diagram of a person that sits between like a dog
dog lover like an artist and like a startup operator
and so like that's how I kind of ended up getting
involved with pleaser helping out with this
project and you know, just being like totally
totally dog and doge-pilled over the over the past
years that doge is a force for good and we can
actually take like why is why is this image even
like we've like analyzed it like historians,
right? Like we know everything about the history.
We like have like analyzed the image itself.
It actually looks a lot like the Mona Lisa.
I don't know if anyone's ever like got done a side
by side. We need to honestly post this more often
on the on the main on the main account,
but like they're literally crossing their hands
and almost the same way looking in almost the
same way. It's really it's really interesting
to think about like what you know draws people
to the photo and I think like the funny look
on the dog's face with the side. I like Atsuko's
husband's hand kind of coming at it. It's like
this kind of made people smile or like kind of
laugh and it seems so stupid or like silly or
like why do people like most people like why
what the hell is doge like why they even care
about this and but it's like it just triggered
people in this like positive wholesome way that
you know, like basically create a worldwide
movement about doge being do only good every
day and doge being a force for good and doing
things that are like quirky and not taking
yourself so seriously and honestly, that's exactly
what the world needs today. Like, you know,
it's like we've we have gotten you know,
we grow up we get over overly serious. We get
too stuck on like, you know, fighting each other
on the internet and it's like doge like hasn't
really fallen into any of those those kind
of narratives. It's like doge is kind of remain
this like sacred leader driving people forward
getting them excited by so, you know, I think
we have this cool story of like what blockchain
can you know blockchain innovation and what
you can do on chain and you can draw this
line back to Atsuko's wallet of her selling
that NFT and like finally taking apart in the
discussion online, which is super cool and
noble and and like, you know, it's been
incredible getting to know her and she's like
she totally even though she was so separate
from like the doge community. She totally exhibits
a lot of the same values like she she donated
a lot of that money to charity when she sold
NFT. She still is you know, she's a kindergarten
teacher works with kids every day had rescues
dogs rescues cats like she's an animal lover
like it's like and I think a lot of those
same qualities are in the in the community
and like show like that deeper connection
like there's there's a true like set of
values within doge that just drives us deeper
because of that connection that provenance
back to the original creator and and meme
itself. Yeah, was grant over that's what I find
the biggest thing especially when it comes
to even if it's a meme token, it's always
about the culture and the community that you
guys have within the community itself. So
if everybody has that same pertaining type
of value to push the token forward or the
meme forward and everybody kind of I'm going
to say for better lack of words has the same
persistence when it comes to being dog lovers
being actual people with some sort of perspective
on life that loves it. It just shares more
community sentiment when it comes to pushing
culture forward, right?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, exactly. There's a deeper
meaning there. So much of crypto projects is
about the community how people get involved how
they support how they talk about it and you
know, I think we've had a thousand narratives
of many of just like hey, here's a meme coin.
I just spun up is just like new it's basically
just the name right and so it's so cool to
see this this this trend pick up so early in
the current bull that hey, we can draw these
lines back to like the original creators
original memes and like what that actually
stands for.
Nothing. So I want to quickly cycle to bath.
So what has happened with could you give
the audience maybe a little rundown of the
dog we've had and how that got sprung to
life essentially because that's still fresh
on my mind, but I don't know if the crowd
is aware of like what went down.
If path is here, of course.
I don't we'll go to retro doges then for a
second. No worries.
I want to be mindful. So retro.
How do you get try to fill in a little bit
to this book? I don't know the whole story.
I'm sure smoke knows some to and retro
doges, but
no for sure. Yeah, I doll all I saw was
it was around 1200 Eve.
Roughly, I'm not that's not the exact number,
but yeah, I went for a crazy auction,
right, which was like
copious and copious amounts of money.
So yeah, that that's definitely something
you want to kind of figuratively talk about.
Yeah, it was it was like it was crazy
because I think the Doge NFT sold for
like 16 like 1696.9.
And then yeah, like over 1200 Eve for dog
with hat and it's like I'm like,
holy shit.
That's the same because it's so new too.
So it was like a really cool story.
Path help them draw that connection
back to the
path help the family that own the dog
like actually like have that true connection.
Looks are here's Pathies back.
Yeah, sorry Twitter decided to crash
in like the last possible time.
I could hear you asking you the question,
but I couldn't unmute so always.
Yeah, I'm so that the dog with that.
Thank you try for filling in.
So we've had me got really big in crypto.
It's very crypto native mean
a few weeks ago.
A member of feistydale who lives in Korea.
He reached out to the owners.
So they've they've had offers from people
in crypto before but they've all kind
of been a bit dodgy like they've one of
them had other offers that were kind
of predatory as well and like
so we had Leon Park reach out to them.
He's a really nice guy.
We offered to like take no fee in this
that we gave them examples of like
on the doge and other auctions are like
we've helped so I've helped set up
some other meme artists in the space.
Yeah, I'm like okay.
If you know that mean and some others
I contacted them with 659.
I bid on many other auctions.
For me, so I'm kind of I really
that the Dow ones to present itself
as a place for these people to go
in order to sell their work in like a trusted
way and also in a way that they won't
get their eyes ripped out on fees
because some some agents some platforms
they'll give they'll take like 30 50
maybe even 70% fee to help you launch
and market your product which is really
terrible.
So we took no fee.
Foundation takes 5% which is fine.
It's worth it for the stability.
We got the auction set up.
We were discussing maybe making
an open edition first,
but I'm glad we went with one-on-one
and we offered to start the bidding
of five each which they were already
happy about and then that the auction
went all the way to 1200th GCI
ended up winning it which was incredible
like way beyond their expectations.
So we're really really happy
that happened.
Yeah, we've changed this family's life.
They are on Twitter.
The handle is.
Let me find it.
Actually choo-choo.
Yeah, they have about a thousand followers.
But yeah, we verified them.
We set them up.
They auctioned it.
It went brilliantly.
So I think it really shows the power
of crypto and how like people can take
control of their their own work
and benefit from it.
It shows more wholesome side to the space
And it's really I'm very happy
that these people that you know,
that the image went so popular
and that they they've been able
to benefit from that.
Yeah, it's kind of what was their
what was what was their first reaction
after the close?
I was just wondering.
So I wasn't I wasn't talking to them.
I am I go through the yeah,
they they were very very happy.
Thinking I just would have loved
to see the room or a live stream
of their reaction.
I think it were they expecting
were you expecting this amount
or what are like what was the
initial take on it?
Obviously, it's a very Solana heavy
meme, right and kind of brought
to life through like that movement.
But what was the initial thought process?
Like would it be like like you said
they were happy with like the five
feet bit which I can understand.
Yeah, I mean, obviously we were
expecting us.
We expect to get up it and we
were going to build up to 50th.
And we did expect some people
to beat that as well.
And it got to 150.
Well, wow, this is going really
well and then it just kept coming.
So yeah, that kind of it blew
our minds.
It was it was huge.
Nice and do you know what's
going to happen with with the
I think you guys know the owner
correct like the buyer.
Is there anything in the plans
or is it just like hey, I just
want to own this piece free
and that's it.
Yeah, GCI, he just wants to
hold on to it.
I don't believe there are any
actual plans beyond that.
That's good.
That's good.
Who knows?
I think he was also said that
he missed the on the Doge bit.
I saw a thread of him surface
from a while ago.
Yes, smoke go ahead.
Oh, I just wanted to mention
although it's been it's actually
kind of a surprise, but we are
going to actually have on the
Wolf Weekly Call tomorrow Leon.
So he will be able to tell
from his perspective as well.
So if you know if anyone
wants to join tomorrow, it'll
be around 11 a.m.
Eastern time.
We'll have him on to talk.
I assume with a bunch of
the other feisty down members
as well to kind of talk about
like from his perspective.
That's all I want to say.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
Like I think for them obviously
it's I think it's life-changing
money for anyone here in the
crowd, but I think it's just
yeah, so it's so crazy that
this little doggy with a
with a with a woolen
little wool beanie kind of
like took the internet by
storm through this and yeah,
props to you guys for setting
this up and also with like
no beneficiary.
So no no fees taken out of it.
Foundation took a fee.
That's that's all good.
That's the platform.
But yeah, just shows the humbleness
which I said in the beginning
about bath.
Like I think what the guy
set up is notable and they
definitely change that family's
lives for forever to quote
unquote generational wealth.
I would have one generation
of wealth you got that correct
man that that family, you know,
it'd be nice to see typically
a family with basically nothing
got you know that type of
generational wealth and be
able to change so many factors
especially within the world
and be able to push crypto
further to show most people
what the blockchain and
and tokenomics and you know
what the chain has to offer
in regards to tech, right?
Yeah, it's it's great.
I think yeah, they obviously
will become crypto ever again.
Well, I cannot pronounce the words.
They will become kind of like
a crypto Jesus's.
Let's call it like that.
Then I don't again advocate
use the word advocate advocate.
I meant to say even angle.
I was I was just stopped.
I was just meeting myself.
Oh evangelist or
you so coming out with the
with the very big brain moment
there. Yeah, it's just my
dutchness.
I can't pronounce this harder words.
So it's no problem.
It's we all for flaws in our powers.
With it with that said like
what is next up for
for on the doge and
we'll go there first and then
path and then retro doges.
So what's the the next kind
of big thing?
Yeah, you guys are working towards.
I'm trying to think your help
you're helping us with one
of the biggest things we have
coming up.
I'd say but I don't know if we're
allowed to leak any information
there so I can
something in secret, right?
This is this is where I'm going
to come Kanye this situation act
as if Elio isn't here and it's
just whiskey and the damn dog
to the left of me a mark here.
Give us the alpha Elio's not
Pat's not here a marking whiskey
want to know the juicy.
All right.
Well, let's see how I'll keep it
But for one thing, you know,
we are big on like numbers as
you know, like you're going to
see it everywhere for our
project for 2069 1111 you name
We're big into numerology and
funny meme numbers.
So, you know, if you if you
can conceptualize either a date
coming up or a moment coming
up here within the next month
or two that might be very
awesome in regards to numeral
numerology and or numbers.
We may be doing a really cool
activation during that time.
One other thing I do want to
mention that I didn't a lot of
people find pretty trippy is
that we actually tracked down
the person who made who named
doge doge about a year or
so ago and we employed him and
he's working with us now.
So he's actually going to be
leading the doge day 2024
initiative and he helped
extensively last year as well.
He also leads our merch store
and his name is John Monarch.
So I think that's another
really interesting level of
provenance that our project has
that we actually found John
Monarch and he is like a very
important part of our project
now and he was the person who
posted the meme to Reddit when
it got super viral and he was
the person who named doge
So I want to make sure we get
that info out there as well.
Other super dope stuff we have
coming up would be we're going
to continue building on base.
That's a no-brainer.
Thanks to the legendary path
and all of our team has been
super hands-on here.
We have over a million holders
So expect a lot of different
really cool activations.
One of the biggest ones I can
bring up because it's public
knowledge now on our DAO website,
which is dao.onhedoge.com is
that we are moving what's
called the pixel portal.
So I recommend you check that
We're moving that over to base.
So currently it's on ETH main
net and yeah, you're going to
have that available on base
and along with the pixel portal
to kind of explain it briefly.
If you lock fifty five
thousand two hundred and forty
dog token, you get an NFT
that's actually a pixel of
the doge meme.
So you could get the sparkle
and doge's eye, you could get
the flower, you could get any
A lot of people have the couch
and basically that pixel will
allow you to get super cool
airdrops and NFTs for free.
So that's going to now be
available on base coming up.
When Avax.
Yeah, my thing just dropped
exactly when Avax my whole
screen like went blank.
No, I agree.
I mean Avax is making some
really impressive moves.
Super bullish on the fact that
we got onto the space and I can
see that you guys have a very
strong community.
So we would love to do
something really cool with Avax
for sure.
Whiskey just died.
Why did you die?
Dying on space.
It's not very I mean back in
the day in 21 Solana founder
did die right after he
meant to tell this project.
So I meant I meant I died
because I'm bullish.
So I rest in peace put me in
the grave.
I mean, it's good PR if you
died and the show takes off
but it's so good that we'll
take a Marcus the next co-host.
I'm just kidding.
I think Beth had an issue and
drop down or maybe had to jump
What's coming up for you guys
after this mint out which
took a long time, right?
I think it's notable to
mention after he's done for
you guys kind of like took off
and finally minted out.
Congrats to that.
But what's next up for you guys?
Yeah, thank you.
The public mint was in October
the 5th the public one of last
So it took quite some times to
mint out.
So we are very happy that we
reached that goal and to
welcome lots of people on
board and to be able to
take part of the community and
to meet in different platform
and metaverses and play
together and interact together
because when we have developed
the project we had the vision
of I interoperability which
means that you can go from
one metaverse to another from
a different platform to others
keeping your digital identity.
You will always be the same
pet the same retro doge as the
PFP in 3D and we are working
hard to keep developing this
utility and we are planning to
develop more interaction games
where on maybe on the system
play to earn that we are
thinking about and keep
developing this utility.
It's great bricks by bricks
but building very steady and
we are very happy to to keep
developing on that matter.
And since it's a Pandora box,
we always find different platform
different utility to it.
So the 3D files that you have
in the smart contract coming
with the PFT GLB and VRM file
and the VRM file is the
the standard nowadays and all
the platform are building around
this format.
So you can also go to the
central and play with your
retro doge.
We also have a private server on
GTA where you can play with
retro doge.
So there are so many ways to
use it that it's very exciting
and each day we are developing
new possibilities.
So we are keep we keep building
on the around that and what
we want is to bring more and
more people in this kind of
space few few months ago.
We also did a podcast with on
the doge with smoke with path
and orb just having chat all
together.
So so many things to be to be
developed and we are the
beginning of the era.
We are very happy that we are
one of the first project having
this light on and to to bring
more development around it.
So over the next the on the
short-term medium-term will
keep working on that.
We also developing our own world
on hyper file.
We have a podcast studio.
We have also a CD where we can
come and see us and our ideas
also to put a race car also be
able to play a FPS shooting
games altogether.
So yeah, we are building slowly
but surely.
Nice and so you you you sprung
up here as well.
Do you also want to give us a
take on what's the next for NFT
and the whole movement?
Hey, yes, I took a kids question
So yeah, I'm kind of I'm doing
everything I can for the whole
province coin ecosystem.
I think I'm working for more
or less every single project in
it at this point.
Sminam joined Faisi Dao recently.
So if you know the Sminam in
Roman, he has his own token.
We have officially added them as
part of Faisi Dao.
They're part of the ecosystem.
We've worked very closely with
Doge as well as I'm a leader of
lead on tokenomics for that
So we're as aligned as we can
We own a lot of each other's
NFT Faisi Dao is very much
becoming like a basket of all
of these different means and we
own a lot of one of one means
So one of them one example is
Gigachat meme.
We have the original image from
that minted by the artist,
which is a very very famous
We got a very good price for it
So yeah, if you own NFT, then
you own that through the Dao.
You have voting rights in the
Dao so you can vote for what we
do with the Dao's assets.
And yeah, we the Dao's also one
of the largest holders of Elon
We've just launched so you can
get some exploration that way
same with dog.
So we also want the largest
holders of dog.
Yeah, we're and also like with
the initiatives where we reach
out to people like the dog
without auction.
We're continuing that we really
want to be kind of safe
space for these sorts of creators
to reach out to so not only
they don't pay too high a fee,
but also so like someone doesn't
shock them for the price of
their work.
Like when we offered when we
offered to buy the one-on-one
auction, we offered to do it
as a three-day auction instead
of actually just buying it
straight off of them because
like we could have done that
for 5E3, which wouldn't have
been fair on the creators at
So we want to create a place
where like that people can't
be taken advantage of in that
And like if we kind of front
ourselves as a place where
these people can go without
having to like we don't even
take a fee like we should kind
of undercut everyone else in
the market.
So it shouldn't it gives the
industry a very good name,
which is something it deserves
and it deserves to be known.
Well for this opportunity for
creators, so we're creating
that and hopefully that
reputation, you know, it'll
Yeah, we're all in on this
narrative.
Yeah, so I think it's
notable to say I'm gonna make
an probably a bridge here
which you're gonna hate.
So take this with a bag of
salt like I'm gonna make a
Roger for a referral here.
So don't hate me guys.
Don't hate me.
But yeah, what he did back in
the day when he was still like
the Bitcoin Maxi OG with his
Lamborghini in Tokyo or Japan
rather like what he did was
going on the street and kind
of like airdroping be a Bitcoin
when it was like dirt cheap to
people and kind of like brought
to life sort of a movement and
I'm kind of Roger for had a
change of motives.
I might argue over the last few
years, but back in the day
like he was kind of one of the
guys who pushed it forward
together with more people right
as one of the first maybe one
of the first to a certain
degree whatever it's now it's
now and what's the what's
passes pass but I think the
nice thing is that I think you
guys are embarking on the
moral right route instead of
where Roger went in the end.
But it's not able to say
like it seems like you guys
are kind of like turning into
his Museum of memes the right
word and that you can answer
better about.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
So we are literally making a
physical museum as well as part
of the Eelam RPA project.
That's yeah, we funded that.
So it's coming it well, we're
planning for it to be in Japan.
It hasn't been finalized yet.
There's lots of other details
of working at the moment.
So yeah, it's not not
finalized, but we will probably
we're planning to have a
physical museum and also the
Dow itself.
It's a bit on my list of things
actually I need to make a better
gallery page for all of our
It's really a mess at the
But yeah, I'll I'll down very
much is a collection of some of
the best memes and pieces of
art that have been minted
in crypto.
You don't know so the the
famous chat meme we've been
seeing flying around you guys
own that one, right?
Like it's that yes, am I
correct or is it?
It's that there's many people
said that the picture of
Giga chat.
It's a collection of images
by Christos of malice.
I think I'm saying that
correctly and she had a project
called silicon tears.
So she's a photographer and
also a digital artist.
So she she alters the
appearance of her her models
and one of them is Giga chat.
So he's very very famous, but
there's actually like a
collection of maybe 20 or so
photos of him.
There's one or two that are very
very famous.
So I personally own one of them
and then the Dow owns the other
Those are the team of famous
Yes, so we earn that and I
think that's probably our most
valuable asset.
I mean at least it should be
because it's so well known and
yeah, we got a very good price
on secondary.
So yeah, the Dow has it's been
grinding in the bear market
and we've got a really
incredible collection.
So, you know, yeah, if you like
collecting means and you like
the idea of the stuff and
you want some exposure then
NFT is the best bet because
it covers everything.
It's really nice.
I'm gonna be rough because
we are at the one-hour mark
I seem to be like could you pin
up the artist of the original
I'm just curious on what other
stuffs you made because it's
kind of like
a table of me.
So just wondering if you have
the account somewhere.
Does she have a Twitter
I think she has Instagram.
Can you hear me?
My page is frozen.
Yeah, I can hear you and now
we lost you.
I think okay.
I'm kind of back and forth in
the moment.
Yeah, I'll send you that in
comment on slack because I
think Twitter is exploding.
It's Elon.
Elon saw the picture probably
So he's probably like
deboosting the space and
trying to make it not
not I was literally about to
say that Elon's definitely
rugged because he heard hand
model and he was all
Yeah, I saw he saw his best
reflection of himself up on
the pin tweets and he was
probably like oh shit.
Let's nuke this space and
let's make it unbearable for
everyone.
Anyone listening in with that
said we already our mark guys.
So this was it for this week.
I want to shout out everyone
who was here whiskey path
on the doge smoke and mark
retro doge is try a spring
and we didn't get a chance
to talk to Gris or Ultron.
That's a little bit sad.
Just noticed still.
Thank you for being here guys.
I think let's let's end the
space on a quick quick one
sentence because I know Ultron
can do it.
I know we can fucking do it.
The man's got a big brain one
sentence who you are what
you're about and how legendary
you really are.
Thank you for having us guys
was getting rugged on the on
the invite earlier.
So I apologize about that.
But I am the community manager
for feisty doe and I am honored
to play a small role in building
something that we're all very
passionate about.
He says small as smol not sma
ll really absolutely he's too
fucking humble and he just
doesn't want to admit.
He is an absolute athlete.
All right, bye.
All right, that was all guys
place make sure to follow
everyone up in the panel

Later on the discord of the
cookouts there is or maybe

catch you next week again.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
