this is elevate your mom music i'm trying to elevate my mind to it All right. Welcome back. all right welcome back another uh altered airwaves thanks for joining us hopefully you guys can hear
us okay and alay if you can help me um bring up guests when we when we got a couple more coming
up um we got actually a pretty big show today um there's a lot of stuff going on. This week's been pretty freaking busy.
If you've been watching, we've had a mint go off this week. There's been a lot of things that have
happened, but the last two days have been like no sleep for everybody. But I also want to respect
my guest's time here because she's calling in all the way from Australia. So it's pretty cool to
have her here. A couple other things we're going to go through.
We've got Elliot Sloan back again tonight. We've got Alay here as a cannabis expert. We're going to be talking about some things later that we've started talking about last week. We're going to
give JC some time to break down what he's been working on. And he's got a lot he's been working
on. It's going to be interesting to hear from him. We also, I think we've got EB Sounds coming back,
who is Chance the Rapper's producer.
And he got into some interesting things with music last week.
We actually took some sounds from a cannabis plant.
So we actually somehow extracted the electronic pulses that then got translated into music notes.
And so we had this raw sample track from a cannabis plant.
And then he actually took that to to the studio
and made some really weird stuff and really interesting stuff uh with it i would actually
say weird it's actually beautiful i listened to it like a hundred times today so um we're going
to be getting through those things here in a second let's see we got betty up here betty are
you you're here and do you have anybody else from your team that anything to bring up? Hey, yeah, I've got the Coldlink account as a speaker that Psych should be on.
Okay, cool.
Let's see if we got, oh yeah, we got Psych up here too.
Okay, just a quick, I want to give a real quick intro to these two
because I've talked about them a lot.
As founders of a project, I got into the Deadfellas project a while back. And the project
to me stood out for a number of reasons, not just because the art was sick and not just because it
had a great community. But every time I kind of reference a project in the past that I've been
excited about, and I've been a part of a bunch of cool projects or ones that people have heard of,
you know, even some of the bigger whatever crazy crazy days with board api club and stuff like that but the one project that
really stands out to me was the dead fellows and and it's not just because of the art and not just
because of the community but the founders the two founders to me really always set the best example
of how to do things at the sort of the highest level with the
most integrity always even if if you know pushed on it would stand up for doing things right and
and i just remember that always standing out and so as we've sort of embarked on things here you
know with b champ and other projects i've just always referenced back to saying like
just this is not how,
you know, this is how the Deadfellows would have done it just because this is the right way to do it, or this is not how somebody, you know, they would do it. And so it's just really interesting.
I keep, I've kept referencing you guys just because you've made such a mark for me, at least,
as far as how things are, how things should be done. But I don't want to go too much into the
past stuff. And I really want to respect your time time you guys have a ton going on right now and you gave me a little sneak peek and I really then started
to creep all the things you guys were working on it's kind of mind-blowing as far as what you're
thinking about it and I don't want to I don't want to step on it too much here but do you want to
give like just this quick snapshot of sort of some of the things you are working on. And then I want to ask you some more questions too about, um,
taking it back a step about being a founder,
but I don't know where you want to start. I know I'm going to put you on the spot.
Totally. No, don't worry. I'm used to being on the spot. Um, first of all,
thank you for all the kind words. That's really nice of you. Um,
we have always loved having you in the dead fellows community and it's just
been awesome
to know you and to follow your journey as well like over the years um obviously with with
everything with drippy and and whatnot um for anyone that doesn't know um this is a very
interesting person so if you're just listening and you're new to this space, like follow him and stay in contact because he's
a person to watch, I think, always doing very innovative, interesting things. And
yeah, anyway, so I will go into what we're doing. I've pinned a tweet at the top.
I'm hearing feedback. Is that me? No. Okay. So I pinned a tweet at the top basically we have announced
the launch of cold link so if you're new to the space again you don't know what that is
go and check that out it is the very first wallet agnostic chain agnostic verification tool it
allows you to connect any blockchain address to quite literally anything else. So when I say anything else, I mean any other blockchain address, any L1, L2, NFC chip, but also anything in Web2.
So any gaming username or email address or ticket stub number or serial number, like quite literally anything without smart contract interaction or blind
signing.
So what this essentially means is there is no hurdle for Web 2 and Web 3 to interact
anymore.
Your digital asset ownership can be verified anywhere, any space that you are frequenting,
that you are frequenting, whether it's online, whether it's on chain, whether it's in the real
whether it's online, whether it's on chain, whether it's in the real world.
world. And in the real world and in Web2, you no longer need any crazy Web3 infrastructure or teams
or anything like that to actually acknowledge digital asset ownership on chain and reward.
So there is a massive amount of possibility suddenly available, which I think is quite daunting.
What does anything to anything mean just to back it up? And if think is quite daunting what is like anything to anything
mean just to like back it up and if somebody's like a straight newbie like myself because i i
think that's like really the most interesting part i think what you guys are doing there because
it sort of to me seems like then people can kind of stay where they're at instead of always having
a shuffle around and being forced to jump from some from system to system to get used to something new.
Totally.
So, okay.
So let's use the art from JC Rivera, right?
Like the stuff that you've got going on XRP, for example.
Say you want to invite people to Mint or you're creating a guest list for people on other chains. So you want to invite other people from ETH or Sol to XRP. You can connect or link those wallets and
verify your ownership. Say you want to be like, right, we're going to give deadfellas holders
this on XRP. You can easily do that now with no risk.
So when we're talking about large drops cross-chain,
like what happened with Pudgy recently where, you know,
Pudgy is obviously an ETH collection and the coin is on Sol.
You can now basically cold link your ETH address with your assets that you don't want to risk to a sole address and easily claim the tokens without any risk to your assets.
This extends into so many different applications.
So you can all of a sudden activate traditionally very risk-averse communities like, for example,
punks. They're worth a lot of money. You're not going to connect your wallet with a pumpkin
to go to an event, most likely. You're not going to connect your wallet with a pumpkin to claim a
meme coin or something like that, whereas now you can because there is no smart contract interaction. There are no permissions being granted.
In the way that the current delegate solutions work,
it does require smart contract interaction.
So what we have done is removed all of the risk.
We've increased all of the interoperability.
So it allows you to move anywhere you want.
And you can apply this to really
anything it's it's so malleable um so some people are using it for like merch stores some people are
using it for events some people are using it for their uh ecosystem rewards and their points and
and all of that um you know cross-chain invitationals for games. And then when you talk about things like gaming, it really does blow things open because now you can circumvent Web2 API and have Web3
reward systems integrated into Web2 gaming platforms. So like Fortnite, you know, can have
Web3 rewards now with very easily, no hurdles, no friction, and no risk,
which is crazy. And it's not just token ownership, it's on-chain history. So metrics like long
holding time, you know, maybe a combination of ownership and what you've done with them,
how many events you've been to, things like that, it's been hard to reward historically,
whereas now that can be taken into consideration. So it really changes a lot when you look at how you interact
with digital asset ownership and where that can be rewarded and really even the concept of web
two and three, right? Like, yeah. I mean, right now, just like in my head, I'm like already trying
to do a mini brainstorm of all the things I could see people wanting to use it for.
But like even your reuse case of having some sort of an asset that maybe is too valuable to say, yeah, risk it to go to a concert or something like that.
But because, you know, a lot of communities tend to, you know, use the NFTs as a gateway to experiences that maybe you couldn't get somewhere
else and it would be scary to also then have to risk that for um things that maybe are big or
small um and that's a really great use case but and then you then jumping into even just talking
about where things could go even as far as you could almost like token gate for example maybe
i'm interpreting this wrong but in theory you could almost like token gate, for example, maybe I'm interpreting this wrong, but in theory you could almost like token gate a clothing drop on a web two
platform, but sort of bridging web three and web two together in that way.
No, you can do that immediately. You can do that now.
You can token gate anything you want anywhere now.
So say you have a relationship,
say you're very well connected and you're like, okay, so I'm a musician.
I'm going to do like a launch party on Spotify um
you know for want of a better platform because we know Spotify don't pay their artists very well but
um on Spotify we're gonna do a listening party um you could token gate that right now if you're
working all you need to do is um have access to the API in cases, you can circumvent it like with Apple ID and iOS
and Steam. And there's a bunch of places that you can literally just already circumvent and create
really, really crazy stuff on. The possibilities are sort of mind blowing. I think that the builders
in this space have been so used to working within the limitations and finding really clever ways either around them or to try and solve them.
And we've kind of gotten a little bit far from, you know, that main course of wanting everything to flow and be easy and integrated.
When we talk about inviting people in and having this as something that the majority of people in the world are
utilizing. That's not really realistic. If none of these platforms are easily
acknowledging digital asset on chain, like the concept of it just doesn't work. Whereas now it
does. Like Alexis Ohanian was talking about buying TikTok and making it web three. With this,
you can just make it Web3 right now.
Like no crazy anything needed.
So that's pretty wild.
You can have like the top 100 holders of a token
rewarded very easily with anything.
You know, you could have, I don't know,
say you're a top 100 gamer on Ronin and you want to give those people like a special tool in a Fortnite game.
You can do that.
It's pretty wild.
Yeah, I have to imagine that almost immediately once you guys announced this, that you had a bunch of great companies reaching out that want to develop on it. I know I saw like a few people even just in the XRP community
already, like their brain was kind of going, okay, here's how this could happen down the road. Do
you guys have plans of XRPL integration at some point? I know you've launched with Sol and ETH
for like Alpha. I actually, yeah. So the Alpha is, that's actually going to be available as an
endpoint tomorrow. Oh shit. That's's like you're giving us real alpha.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, obviously, we have a pipeline of L1s that we're adding in based on demand.
So the obvious ones are like Bitcoin via Taproot and Sui, Cardano, like all the typical ones that you would want on there.
However, XRP, you guys have shown a lot of interest.
Shout out to you guys.
So, yeah, we've basically put that in to be added as an endpoint.
So, basically, it means that the flow is to XRP from whatever you want. So XRP can target
ETH and solo users right now. Like if you have some sort of campaign that you want to enact that,
you know, invites those people over, you can easily do that without any risk to those users.
So the flow is very simple. And then, you know, when you've got
things like your, your like XRP ownership to other stuff that that's going to come
in around a week or so, because that takes a little bit more dev work. But yeah, that'll be,
that'll be done. And then you can do things like, you know, you guys have the Drippy Company. If people have IRL, I don't know, services or goods that they want to provide perks or benefits for, for holders, like you can do that right away.
There's no special dev work for the integration needed.
It's just an API key that you need.
And the API key issuance is also going to be live
uh today you hear that she put you on the spot so it's time we gotta we gotta make moves and work
before we get we gotta get in line definitely definitely yeah i mean we had you you know if
you've been watching me tweet um for the last few weeks I've been really on my
bullshit in terms of like uh the whole founder-led marketing thing I've been um talking to literally
hundreds of brands um over the last few weeks we have around 150 um plus test flight users so
what that means is like us kind of handholding people into figuring out where
this works for them and how it will be integrated in their communities. If you saw a kid called
base team, they were like right on it. They integrated basically right as we launched,
they integrated it into their ecosystem, which is so fantastic. So now their holders are,
you know, fancy free. They're able to interact with all of their
offerings completely risk-free without risking their um their base which is sick um the same
thing can be done across every community it can uh increase participation rates across basically
everything like if you've got a doubt we saw the issues obviously with the ape the ape dow and the
the voting um issues that they ran into recently,
that can be solved with this.
There's just so much stuff.
So right now, if a community is listening and they're hearing about this,
is there like a wait list or a sign-up list,
or can people just go right now and actually use it or like grab it,
you know, go to the website and start using it?
You can go to the website and start using it casually right now
as a user from Ethan
Saul.
And then API key issuance for the public API will be live today.
So basically right after this space, we'll be announcing that with, oh, the API key is
live.
So I just texted me.
Cool.
So yeah, you can go to the website right now and you can actually get your api key it's very
affordable for the beta um we have basically put it at ten dollars um for that access which is you
know if you want to get that and just play around with it and build on it um immediately doable we
did that so that people can um just get started um that pretty amazing. And we want to say thank you,
or at least I want to say thank you for everybody
because what we've been talking about
over the last few weeks
or at least maybe even months, years,
is that it's going to take more people
just building things that are more inclusive
versus like, you know, exclusive.
There's always been like these walls,
even like in between communities, like if you into ethereum and you're building there that means that you hate
whatever other chains that are building you know instead it should be everybody should be supporting
across chain making things accessible in ways that are it's like if you look at like user experience
from tech companies that they generally build the way that people are using something and most people
don't want to have to like um you know if they don't want to have to move or change things they
don't want to just don't want to so if you want to be able to interact and uh expand whatever that
offering is that you're having you have to find ways to include people where they're at and i
think that's really the most interesting thing about this anything to anything concept to me
has really got me going like this is this is going to be way bigger than that than people expect it to be in my opinion.
I think that's that's really that's very very true right now like there's obvious use cases
low-hanging fruit and we're starting in the industry that we know needs it immediately in
order to progress but this you know every single brand in the entire world is essentially
a potential client for this, as it is complete interoperability across every digital and IRL
space. So that's really cool. The thing is, like, when we, we really did build this because we
needed to solve it for ourselves, like in terms of our gaming products like we really really did need
it um we quickly realized that everyone needed it and why wouldn't we try and improve the industry
that we are trying to flourish in um a healthy environment obviously is beneficial to healthy
growth for any brand so it makes sense for us to, you know, support literally everyone else. So that's,
that's what we're doing. And, you know, I'm speaking to all of the brands, you know,
as well as I do, a lot of these brands are not well-funded. They don't have VC backing,
they're completely grassroots. And they don't have the budget or the resources for
robust teams that can integrate even simple things like, you know, token gated merch stores.
Like that is a simple concept, but it's actually it does take work and resources to integrate into your system like that.
It's hard for people.
Yeah, it's not like there's a Shopify plugin or something.
Exactly.
If we can't do basic stuff like that on on those grassroots
budgets like we're not going to get anywhere and the brands that are really amazing and innovative
are not going to be able to flourish so this is something that solves a lot of problems for
every brand on every level which is really cool um you know in in our in our community nobody
would connect their dead fellas to use their v2ube rigs or metaverse skins or anything like that um it doesn't matter how much your asset is worth um monetarily if you
have owned uh an nft for three years and used it as your identity online you're not going to risk
that you don't want that to get stolen doesn't matter if it was worth five dollars or five
hundred thousand dollars you don't want it to go because it's worth so much more.
That's something that I just wanted to stop for a second
because that's something I've been not harping on or whatever.
I've just been talking about this for a while.
To me, there's certain metrics around really great NFT projects,
and they're ones that people will use as their personalities.
But then when you take it that next level, that's when you go, there is no value that can be attached to this. If this is the
thing that I'm using to represent myself, it becomes almost like an extension of your brand
because most people are not doxxed in the space or a lot of people are not doxxed in the space.
And so how do they represent themselves? They have some sort of a digital asset, like an NFT that, you know, helps them express
themselves in whatever way that they want to, um, in this space and gives them some
sort of a personality and in the same way that people would use, you know, changing
different clothes or things like that in the real world.
But you add that to, you know, you add this to like what you just said. It's like people,
some people have been holding these things for years and years and there's just no chance you're
going to get it from them. It doesn't matter what the price is. Exactly. Exactly. And so the value
assigned to that just, you know, exceeds monetary value and starts to accrue social value and then you've got that provenance
on chain and how do you recognize that and all of that sort of stuff it's like okay so people that
have used these for x amount of years how do you acknowledge and reward that like you can do it
with cold link now um so the the api key uh for public use um if you want to go and build on it, anyone can go and do that right now.
The developer key gets 10,000 requests a day for a year.
Those limits are set for the beta use.
So that is going to change.
The price will change. the API pricing and plans will become more robust and I guess granular depending on
what uses we're going to be integrating and we're also soon implementing the revenue share system so
that's really attractive to anyone that is using these keys for a brand or if you know if you've
got a big audience or say if you've done like a community takeover of a coin or a project,
the revenue share system basically allows you to have your own portal that's like say coldlink.xyz forward slash Drippy.
And then anyone that is creating links, cold links through that portal,
Drippy would get 20% of the revenue that comes from those cold links automatically.
It costs a dollar to create
a cold link that is part of the verification process and that is how it works um and so being
able to like build your own revenue system through um providing rewards for your community and you
know access and complete safety is uh is a very cool i think think, revenue system that's new for people.
Well, that sort of replaces other systems that sort of even exist.
There's all kinds of like...
Olay, what's that one that most Shopify people use
that's like a Web2 product?
You can think of it real quick.
If not...
For what have you...
It's for just like influencer or people people that um you know
referral codes and stuff like that oh yeah an ambassador program i think we finally like this
basically just replaces that entire system at that point yeah we use like a lead dino i think for
that for an affiliate program yeah but that makes it yeah and that in some way like just even thinking about this now it just makes that so um you know that's like that's like so old now
thinking about that because what what could happen with this is beyond just the the affiliate links
that that that can tie into you know the real world events or when there there is something
that comes up for the brand like maybe there's a new clothing drop or something like that,
you sort of tie all of these things into one piece.
It makes it so much more clean.
That's right.
It really unifies ecosystems in a way that hasn't been able to be done before.
And it makes everything very clean.
It's providing new revenue systems.
It's providing safety and traperability.
There's just so much
you can do with it so we're really excited about it um it's a very different experience for me
launching a tech product as to launching a a project like when we launched dead fellas it
was really like bang this boom huge moment you know everything sells out in 10 minutes and then
it's kind of just like rolling and then you know what next
okay you get you get started on your roadmap whatever um and it's a very funny um pre-launch
post-launch thing compared to launching cold link like very very very different um and it's it's
actually really fun and refreshing um because what this is is we're basically facilitating builders to create really cool shit.
Like something that I spoke about last week was abandoned projects.
Like if you have an abandoned project and you're like, okay, I hold a million of these NFTs and the founder, quote unquote, like died um has moved to Dubai and like um if you're very well connected
and you're good at business development there is absolutely nothing stopping you going out there
and being like okay I'm gonna get all of these rewards and access for this community um you can
do that now if you're like um connected to someone at the lounges in airports or whatever, you can be like, right, cool.
We all have lounge access now.
You can cold link to your frequent flyer number or you can cold link to a club VIP list or, you know, anything you want.
There's nothing stopping you from doing that.
Someone did message me and they were like, hey, Betty, can you help me?
Can you help me community take over one of the larger NFT projects recently? And I was like, hey, Betty, can you help me? Can you help me help me community take over one of the
larger NFT projects recently? And I was like, absolutely not. No, that is not my place. I will
not be doing that. Other people can do that with the tech that we have provided. Coldlink's job,
and my job is basically making sure that the API is as robust as possible, as interoperable as possible,
that we're facilitating builders to create cool stuff.
I'm not going to be leading the charge on taking over other brands
or this or that.
And we're not also,
we're really not interested in steamrolling any existing infrastructure.
Like the obvious jump to realizing the capabilities and safety of Coldlink
is to be like, right, well, obviously,
this is very good for Discord verification. Yes, it is. It is far safer and far more interoperable
than any system currently available. However, when you look at the companies that are providing
those services, not Coldlink, Collabland and Vulkan,
their infrastructure is very robust
and they've got really great products
and the automated bots that they have
and everything like that, it's fantastic.
Why would we try and pull that down
when we can instead integrate
into those sorts of companies?
So that's the way we're thinking about things.
We're not, we don't want to, um, you know, remove and steamroll. We want to, um, support and uplift
and, um, better things that are already in place. I think that's a great way to, you know, put a
business in the world, because if you come in and you're, you end up being, you know, the competitor,
no people end up being afraid of change in a way.
And you being able to support something they're doing
with a better technology,
they're going to appreciate that
because you basically made their tech more safe.
Yeah, I think a lot of people
probably would have made this product
and just kept it for themselves.
But I think that attitude is uh not great and I think that the
whole like pvp scarcity mindset thing has held us back in terms of the industry in general I think
that it's uh super like competitive natures are are great right like when you've got something
a really strong brand and they're doing something really cool it's awesome to have more strong brands because that is the strength of an industry when
we talk about marketplaces for example like I don't want like OpenSea for example to fail
I know that people have gotten mad at OpenSea and like there's other marketplaces like magic eden doing really great things and you know whatnot but it's not a good thing to have less brands and less good good
companies doing good stuff like it's it's in everyone's best interests for these people to be
flourishing and moving forward so that's the attitude that we have um and that's how that's
really like the foundation of what we've got here with CultLink.
Yeah, it'll be interesting.
I mean, there's so many things I'd love to just dive into on that,
but I don't want to even go off on a huge tangent.
But it's like I could see a world where at some point OpenSea even has,
you know, integration into XRP memes and, I mean, NFTs, but maybe not.
I don't know, that would be cool.
But there's also XRP Cafe, who's been really great.
And it's been a great place for a lot of people.
There's also other places you can mint NFTs even on XRP.
So there's all these, like you said,
you don't want one place to be like necessarily fail
versus another.
It is actually great when there's healthy competition because it actually
sharpens everybody to do, you know,
better work and build better products.
So yeah, it forces innovation.
Otherwise people just get lazy.
And I think honestly for the last two years,
people have gotten lazy.
Like we haven't seen really awesome innovation.
I think we've all we've, you know, we've had these problems for a long time and it's like, okay,
so let's solve them in the simplest, most elegant way possible,
user-friendly way possible.
But instead we come at these really small problems with really complicated
solutions and it's not doing anything for, you know,
expanding the use of blockchain.
In my opinion, we keep like ignoring the stuff that we need to solve and jumping to like
really strange functional capabilities that nobody's really interested in.
So I'm pleased that we've been able to bring this to the rest of the world outside of um just dead fellas because it's been
awesome it's actually been real awesome to speak to other teams like that's been really fun because
everyone's doing cool stuff um I think you'll see a lot of really exciting things over this year
especially because um you know with increased capabilities and um I think there is like a
renewed excitement across the board it's just
it feels really positive i don't know how you feel about that but like i don't know i felt that
re um like almost like a rebirth of like the wild days that back in you know the the i don't know
the i always really point back to this one that that one um what was it the nft new york where there was the big dead fellas party
in that warehouse i still point to that as like one of the best parties i've ever been to but
it almost feels like in a way some of those days are sort of re coming back right now or people are
sort of looking back and going you know what i am still excited about this i am you know maybe if
they sideline for a second and they they're like you know what i'm am still excited about this. I, you know, maybe if they sideline for a second, they're like, you know what, I'm going to come back and build
because there is something I can offer.
I think the main thing is as long as people are bringing value
to whatever the communities they're in,
that's like the biggest thing for me is like,
there needs to be this shift completely across.
I mean, maybe this isn't in, and this isn't like a problem,
I guess this isn't like a problem that I'm about
to say but it's like I think there's this needs to be this shift in what value can you bring to
projects you're in versus like what value can extract so it's like you're into NFTs are you
there to flip the NFTs and try and make a little money or whatever or are you there to actually
bring value to the community and whatever that way that is because you see all these different
people in these communities that emerge and and great things come out of it like we have different people in our community building things that
are in tech there's people making music there's you know making art and i think that doesn't
happen when people come in with a mindset of like going look at this let's look at this thing as like
an asset that only can be looked at as like a money asset that could be flipped uh and i think
that shift you know um in the the communities that last and are here
and are part of history are the ones
that are building and bringing value,
not even just the founders,
but all the people that are in the community themselves.
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
I agree.
Well, thank you for sharing that stuff.
And I mean, I know that I've like,
I've had you like kind of almost like rapid fire through a bunch of those things, but is there like, I mean I know that I've like I've had you like kind of almost like rapid fire through
a bunch of those things but is there like I mean I didn't even ask you guys like how did you guys
get it like oh there's two more minutes because I'll give you I know it's late for you guys but
it's actually really not late for me it's lunch time oh really I don't know I thought it was like
gonna be 1 a 1 a.m or something I'm like oh thank you so much for staying up late
the middle of the day but yeah you're welcome It was like going to be 1 a.m. or something. I'm like, oh, thank you so much for staying up late.
The middle of the day.
But yeah, you're welcome.
Well, then you know what? I don't feel bad anymore.
That's fine.
No, don't.
Is Syke, will Syke say anything?
Or is he, he's, is he doesn't want to talk about it?
I don't know.
I wanted to put him on the spot too, because JC's here.
And I just feel like those two need to meet each other at some point because they're both
really dope artists. And I don't, I, I know that, um, there's, I'm skipping
all over the place because we're talking about colding, but some of the most wicked art on
Ethereum right now is dead fellas. In my opinion, like I I'm literally right now, I swear to you,
if I had the camera on, I'm wearing my t-shirt from dead fellas, New York. It's like a rally
shirt right now for this episode. That's how big of a nerd I am. I'm also wearing t-shirt from Deadfellas, New York. It's like a rally shirt right now for this episode.
That's how big of a nerd I am.
I'm also wearing that shirt today.
You're joking.
Oh, high five, yeah.
I love that.
I'm wearing the one with the pink, like, yeah, Statue of Liberty on the back.
Yeah, hell yeah.
That's actually one of my favorite ever designs.
I love that shirt so much.
Yeah, so, all right, cool, 20s.
Sight can't talk on this basis he just texted me he's writing a thread because we are um launching a bunch of stuff for cold link uh imminently
well i appreciate you guys like he loves the art though i showed him all all the um you know when
you when you told me about it um i showed him and he was really really into it i think it's what's
really cool to me is finding these pockets of activity and places that you wouldn't expect
because every single normal person in the world when they realize i'm into crypto they'll be like
so what do you think about xrp not a single person in the real world has ever mentioned Ethereum to me or anything else. Why do you think that is? I don't know. I really want to
get to the bottom of it. I don't know. I don't understand. Are they advertising on Facebook?
Is it like, what is going on? I don't know. We're just like crazy over here. I mean,
it's like rabid wolves. I mean, just like any post about xrp they're just it just gets
hammered by people so it just there's something happening i think so too i i've been it's been
very intriguing to me like what is going on and it's every single time i can be picking my kids
up from dancing and there's some guy in the car park and you know we'll be chatting and
get into it he's like so what do you think
about xrp i'm like what is what's happening you know what do you think about xrp let's put you
on the spot what do you think about i haven't had i haven't even had an opinion on xrp i'll be
honest with you until recently when you show me what's actually going on in the cool little um
pockets of like art and culture that are popping up. I think that's really exciting. It reminds me
of the Ethereum early days. That's how I felt when I found this. And that's like what, you know,
not that I was like a ETH maxi or a Bitcoin maxi or anything, but I, you know, I've been in XRP
Bitcoin and then I was in a bunch of meme coins and stuff, but I don't even know how I stumbled on like
memes in XRP and things like that.
But I just started wanting to find out ways that I could bring more value to XRP because
I believed in that as an asset.
And then I like went down this rabbit hole and, and here we are, you know, a number,
a long time later here.
But yeah, I think the weirdest part to me is that
there are all these like really brilliant people that i've encountered in all different
chains that i've you know been because it's like early days in bitcoin it was almost the same thing
like little groups of people that are communicating that believe in something and almost like in a
weird way it was trading like nfts where it's like you just had it locked down and you just weren't
you weren't going to trade that one little NFT or whatever that was.
I don't know how to explain that.
But I think NFT people trade assets differently than meme coin people in a weird way.
They're like crazier about like you saw the days when people are getting these crazy offers of a million dollars and that same person, you know, lives in their parents.
Maybe lives in their parents' basement.
They're getting a million dollar off on an NFT and they're like, decline instantly, no question, decline. But like,
just different in that way. And I, when I got into the space, everybody's like that, like in a weird
way, you know, you have these people that whatever they're building right now is so important that
they're on, you know, spaces at all times in the night in telegram groups, all times in the night,
it almost feels like you're doing like that most important work you've ever done and you're okay with like lack of sleep and all the things that come with like being so active but there's just
so much happening like so much development so when i got into that it like it did really feel
like the like the fun early days on eth where you're just like wow there's a lot happening here
i really need to pay attention more here um and so yeah that's what that's kind of what we're
we're here doing i think the biggest thing it's really exciting yeah i i just wanted to say like
too it's like people might be afraid to almost like step over and try things because it's like
feels different like i went even me going back into my
wallet and like going through different nfts that i'm into and checking in on communities like over
the last couple of weeks i've just been like popping into discords and things like that and
i realized that i was like wow it feels different just going back to a different system so coming to
a different system here so if you're into eth and you come here it's like even setting up a zaman
wallet and figuring out how do i actually mint an NFT feels different. I had a bunch of ETH friends this week that were trying
to mint this or they're going to be trying to mint this thing on Friday and just getting them
onboarded to set up a Zaman wallet and get some XRP from their Coinbase to the Zaman wallet.
It feels like almost in a way where I'm like, you guys are high tech individuals. You're really
smart individuals and somehow is this hard but it is just different and so um are there any resources
to that point are there any resources for anyone listening that hasn't got a fucking clue about xrp
like i do not have a clue about xrp like what what is the starting point for those people
um probably finding finding people that you know that are active in the space
that you trust you know like i see a couple on even in here like bnor is right here if you know
he could raise his hand like to tap in on him um you know solid even too there's a bunch of people
around but one of the um one of the main things you could do is start with setting up a Zaman wallet. That's probably if you're going to
trade NFTs, that's probably the safest and most used. How do you spell that? It's X-A-M-A-N.
And it's actually funny because you have to do something that was weird to me when I got here
at first, set up a trust line. And so that's like, you set up a trust line with something you want
to interact with, like a token, for example, if you're going to trade that um and then you could buy and sell it you know with that
wallet and so it almost like establishes this connection but beyond that it doesn't there isn't
there you know the learning curve is more like um just that there there's some small differences but
the cool things are there's like very little little interaction as far as uh cost for when you're
interacting with things so there's no like gas fees like that you would think of uh traditionally
from eeth um things are really fast i think that was one of the things that was that's will be
surprising is just how fast things happen so like if you were to send um some xrp from one of your
wallets to another it almost happens like before you can even like close the little x to like close the window you were on where instead you know sometimes you're waiting
for it on other chains so some of those things are fun um some things are new and in like development
where you like kind of wish there were features still for different platforms you're on that maybe
exist already on eth like um i'd really love to see messaging, you know, come into like NFT platforms that are on XRP.
And I know that there's a chance that they're already working on it. Like, I don't, I don't
actually know that. I'm not like in, in, in with any of these companies or anything like that,
but I just, I could assume that they would be like, so if you wanted to make an offer on something
beyond making the offer, maybe that person could get like a message from like an email note or they could actually say like shoot them a note you know like even a wallet note
and say like hey how much would it take to let you know let that go or is that like your forever
thing you're never going to let it go type of thing so um yeah as far as though like go ahead
no i'm actually not gonna no it's fine okay yeah just going to say, I think if you're going to start, though,
like, check out, set up a wallet.
I could even send you some cool projects to look at.
But the weirder thing is that everybody on XRP seems to be more into Telegram,
whereas I'm mostly used to going into Discords.
And so there's a lot of people that use Telegram,
and the Telegrams are, like, they're wild.
Like, some of them just, like like go on all night every day. Like it's just as fast as you can see just notes going through them. And so that was a different change because, you know, people basically live in there and they're in VCs all day having conversations about projects, et cetera, et cetera. So yeah. So I pinned, for anyone listening that's new to XRP and wants to check it out,
I pinned the Xamon wallet account at the top so you can have a check into it.
Coldlink is actually wallet agnostic, so it doesn't matter what wallet you're using.
And once we have XRP as an endpoint, you'll be able to use your Xamon wallet address
as a source to cold link out from um however you
can you can use it as a as an end point now so that's cool um yeah awesome i would also shout
out to house kid who just shared that they're also wearing dead fellas merch today i know i
just brought him up here as a speaker because he's like a co-Deadfella.
I just tossed him up here.
But any quick questions for Betty before I let her go?
Because I don't want to take up her whole afternoon.
I just want to take a total fanboy moment and just say, thank you, Betty.
Thank you, Syke.
Thank you for Deadfellas and for enabling me to meet XRP Relic back in the day of all the OG Deadfellas events in SoCal and to still be friends with him today through Drippy, through everything he's gone through.
Thank you, Deadfellas.
I can't even.
Hell yeah.
I'm like emotional right now.
It's crazy.
So total fanboy moment.
fanboy moment and that's that's it that's all i wanted to say i've actually met some of my like
And that's it.
That's all I wanted to say.
i've met some really cool good friends through nfts which has been something i've been talking
a lot about to the xrp community because i think some some of this is new to like to people or they
like haven't been part of a nft community before they haven't seen some of these things kind of
uh take some,
get some steam behind them. But what's interesting is I've like one of my business partners is also
a dead fella. Um, and then I've got actually both of my business partners are dead fellas.
They both have dead fellas. So it's just kind of cool. I mean, there's a, there's, there's a bunch
of us out here and we're just like, uh, we've, we're always staying connected, you know, kind
of checking in on each other. Like we've gotten to know each other and families and all these things.
So very cool that that's happened.
And that wouldn't have actually, like it would never have happened if you guys had not brought that project into the world.
So yeah, thank you.
Thank you so much.
I think that when you create something that is so personal to you and that you really do want to see in the world,
like automatically other people
are going to have like a visceral response to it you know like um dead fellas is not just like
we saw a market um gap and filled it like we wanted it like i didn't there wasn't a pfp that
i wanted to use but i was obsessed with the idea of these PFP communities and so we just poured
everything that we love into this to you know to bring it out to other people and other people
automatically were attracted to it I think that when you inject that with kind of everything that
you believe in and who you are and and all that, like people are going to resonate with it on a deeper level than just like
that's cool art.
And that's what's happened because so many people have echoed that same
sentiment.
Like there are so many awesome teams in the world now doing cool shit
because they met through Deadfellas.
And I just love that so much.
Like some guys in Europe, they met and they started like a film crew they
made documentaries they got awards like nothing to do with dead fellas they just met in the
community and i just absolutely love that so much um zolid you you have your hand up so i'm gonna
let you get to shoot yeah just um if you do have questions about getting on to zomin i think
honestly talking to feno is your best bet.
I know how to work all that stuff, but he's an absolute whiz.
If you want to deal with someone with like crazy ADHD, go ahead and ask me.
But Fienur is super good with that stuff.
He's super smart.
He's an awesome asset to the V-Champ squad.
So he's definitely someone to look for if you're looking for any of that kind of information.
And our like telegram is actually going off because people are, it's weird.
People will listen to spaces and then almost with a side channel having conversations in the chat.
And our telegrams going off.
But I've already had multiple people message me saying that they want to gift you an NFT from the community, which is pretty wild because the floor price on these are pretty insane at this point. Oh my God. So I guess I need to make a Zalman wallet.
You need to set up a Zalman wallet. Yeah. Cool. I'll do that today. Thank you guys. That's so
kind of you. I'll make the connection. I love that. Okay, cool. Thank you.
Thank you so much for coming. I'm going to, anything you send our way, I'll repost in and share to the community because I know there's going to be a million questions after this. I also definitely want to connect you with some of the other builders that I just know would be great people for you to meet. Like, Pinoor right there, you guys need to tap in and meet each other. I think he'd be one of the first people that would really benefit from the tech i think i also need you to meet uh matt from build x if you check out what he's been building he's building he's like a crazy
wizard on uh building different tools like we had a very complex snapshot for this mint and he like
built an entire tool to make it happen and i was just like whoa whoa okay so this guy just we can
superpower we can superpower that shit like immediately with Coldlink.
And then also things like your Telegram chat for holders.
You can have special Telegram chats that are like automated where they have like if you're a top 100 holder or you're a whale of a certain project, like you're in there.
And then the second you sell, you're booted.
That sort of thing is pretty cool just to have as community management tools.
So, yeah, that's down the line.
And if anybody wants help with any of that, obviously my DMs are open.
And I'm basically here at your disposal.
So anything Deadfellas or Colink related, you got me.
Cool.
Well, thank you so much.
Thanks for jumping in with us.
And you're welcome to hang out as long as you want to. But we're going to probably, we're going to shift into like potentially weirder topics because we're going to talk about like some weird new tech that we're seeing. And we got into this whole conversation this week about aliens and new tech that has to do with computer chips. And it went down this huge rabbit hole.
Wonderful. Well, listen, I've got work to do, so I'm going to mute out but um i love aliens and new tech so i'm gonna hang out okay cool cool well thank you thank you
very much okay all right if you're if you're new here and thank you for jumping in and if you're
here from eth thank you for checking us out we're we're these like wild ones on xrpl um something i
think i actually did right this time that I normally mess up on every space is I
think you could actually like repost the space, make comments. So go ahead and do that because
it would be nice to let more people know that we're in here chatting. We're going to jump into
a few different topics here. So we've talked to Betty and I really appreciate their time because
like I said, they're some of the founders that I look up to as far as the way they do things,
the way they move through the space and just even the way that they treat other people in
the space. Because like I said, there's, there's so much of this like, guarded gatekeeping and
communities, and we need more people being like, being role models for how to build well. And so
thank you for that. I don't know if a if a lay are you down to talk a little bit about like because
i i also if um i don't know if uh let's see finor would you come up here and chat with us for a
minute and poet are you still here if you were still here that'd be cool to have you come up
here too but um we got into this whole conversation this week in one of our vcs like i don't even
remember why we were all in there i think we were watching the minco off the other day
and then we got into this conversation around how last week,
Jonesy was here talking about,
you know,
the different,
the coils that were found underneath the pyramids and how people are now
using pulse radars and actually identifying that there is something there
that is,
you know,
identifiable,
but maybe people people there's misinformation
around it.
That whole conversation then like went down this rabbit hole of like, what is the future
of tech look like just in general?
And has there potentially been really advanced tech in the past?
And so I kind of had this really weird point or thought maybe.
And again, this is just my opinion.
I don't think that, you know, maybe anybody else on this panel even remotely comes with
me on this yet.
But will there be some, you know, hybrid humans in the future?
Will it be a different race?
I don't know.
But there is tech already getting there.
Here you go.
Yeah, no, funny is it?
I just was trying to look up the inverse word for
transhumanism there actually is not one uh but you know to this new these new uh cortical lab
brain cell chips basically these neurons so artificial yeah that's kind of what we were
saying like i don't remember who i don't know it was Poet or somebody had said that they had heard about this. Then I started
Googling it. And essentially it looks like there is already computer chips that are sort of made
out of synthetic, or is it not even synthetic? It's actually... Yeah, they're synthetic human
neuron brain cells. And it's a computer chip that's that's like yeah they they they were able to uh
have this thing play pong learn how to play pong on its own so okay so this is the weirdest thing
is like so we talk about like aliens and stuff and it's like if you just like if i was to crack my
iphone phone open and look on the inside and like break open my little silicon chip that um you know apple gets those
really polished commercials for is literally alien tech to me is just some gel in there and somehow
that's a computer chip i don't understand that so like how would this this brain tissue chip
is it just like a giant um thing of of tissue that is somehow conducting yeah i mean that's
already a spaceship i don't understand that it's uh yeah i mean there's a synth synthetic or you
know standard silicone chip system that connects up to the neuron cells be able to send signals back but uh now i learned about it learned how
to play pong though like it actually learned like by itself or some was connected to some sort of ai
signal for hitting the ball and not hitting the ball in pong and so that signal allowed
it to basically learn how to improve its ability to hit the ball back and forth.
So yeah, no, transhumanism, the inverse of transhumanism, no word for it yet.
We got to come up with something.
So what do you think? I mean, what, like, where do you think the future of that is? Like, is that the scene? Does that seem like that's where the text going is like, I guess this is where the weirder
part where this conversation goes.
And I think this is maybe I'm not speaking for poet, but I started to derail it this
way the other day is like, will there be like future different types of humans?
Because like, will people even be human in the future?
if like we are part machine in this way i mean like think of like neural link for example um but
If like, we are part machine in this way.
I mean, like think of like Neuralink, for example.
if like now you have um you know at some point it seems like we'd be able to build humans from the
most part but then is there a soul attached to that like if everything else is human you know
if the brain works similarly like right now we probably are close to some of those breakthroughs
with ai and and where that's happening.
But I don't know if you have thoughts on that.
No, yeah.
Complicated question.
Down the rabbit hole on that one for sure.
Oh, Pienor's got his hand up.
Do you have it?
Take us to the promised land on this, Pienor, because I know you've got a thought.
Oh, man.
I'm about to back into this one because you nailed it, man.
The question is, is it human or what is it, right?
And what does it even mean to be a human? A human
has the soul. If you believe in a soul, maybe you call it a consciousness, whatever, but let's just
grant that that exists as a part of you, then it would have three primary powers, right? The will,
the intellect or rationality and emotion, right? These are the powers of the soul and uh it's the basically the connection between the
soul and the brain is the brain the same thing as a mind right because the current literature
is pointing towards what we can construct something that will be in a neural brain state
array a structure just as if if we were to build a chair we take pieces of wood and combine it to
make a chair and now this property called stability emerges. And they're presupposing that something
like consciousness is going to emerge out of this arrayed state. But I think it's already telling
that they're going through a hybrid path, which basically shows how could you ever go fully
synthetic and still retain core properties of human, like self-determinism, will, intellect, and emotion and these type of things?
So when I look at it, when I hear about organoids, these organic robots or whatever, or transhumanism, I go straight Star Trek.
That's the end of that road, straight hive mind.
Nah, I'll tell you, I'm with Neo, bro.
That mess is wild.
People always go to what they see in movies
because it's like, you know,
what you see in movie is some sort of way
that it sort of portrays,
okay, this is how I can sort of wrap my head around it.
Because I always say that like,
when we talk about things that are potentially future tech,
we only relate it to whatever the highest form of future,
form of tech we have right now.
So we go oh
you're our brain is like a computer it's like our that's what we know that's like the best thing
we know or now our brain's like a chip but really um yeah go sorry i didn't mean you're raising your
hand again but it's like really it's like i don't know what uh like i don't know where like that
that thought around what makes somebody human,
because it seems like a lot of those things probably could be developed. Like even personalities
could be developed. But when you go into like, even, I mean, not to take it down like the drug
road, but like, if you've, if you've smoked weed or done mushrooms or something like that,
and you've had this like deeper moment of connection or do even do meditation,
like maybe you don't even have, you don't have to even do drugs I'm not promoting doing drugs kids I'm saying that if you have that moment where you
step outside of like the busy day and you actually can even just think about like oh I'm just like
walking in nature or I'm breathing right now and you're like connecting you like really feel
that that feeling of being human and you really step out sometimes you go wow it's really interesting
because there's a lot of these things that are common between me and other humans and then you go wow we're really all connected in
the world you just take these leaps that you go the thing to me that is most interesting about
humans is consciousness and that's the thing i explore the most is like understanding consciousness
to me and if you could unpack consciousness um that's where it gets different oh man that's so good that's i'll say one last thing on that
if you don't mind that's so good because what you just pointed towards are experiences of the
ineffable right we see this with things like ndes near-death experiences contemplative meditation
um you can get ethnogenic experiences with like psychedelics or whatever and anybody who's kind
of round-tripped those experiences you know individually or collectively you already know that the veil is
real okay and uh i'm just not sure what would happen to step into a pseudo-spiritual or sublime
transcendental state along with a synthetic type of technological companion or part of that.
I don't even know what that would look like.
I think it would be what you said.
It'd be something new.
Yeah, it'd be interesting.
It's like people down the road.
If we could develop, for example, the ability to fully upload everything that makes you human.
Every single thing that you could think of, every memory that you have, family growing up,
birthdays, whatever the things are, the things that make you conscious your your creativity
your smarts around whatever it is that you do if you could upload all of that somehow into the cloud
right and then re-put it somewhere else and it would work like would people down the road be
almost using like these synthetic
generated
what's like the word for it would be like a synthetic
tissue right so these like synthetic tissues
that almost are like sims where it's like
when it gets old you could just exchange it out
and you're just replacing it almost like the matrix
like is that the world that we're going down
better make sure you got some code link
for that verification
yeah you need to when you switch sims up like you're like, man, this one's getting older.
I busted a knee.
Let's change it up.
The consciousness part, I think, I've thought a lot about this in this last year.
Maybe awareness is something that comes before that.
Consciousness being something that's more of a constructed reality.
It's based within the ego sphere.
It's the way you observe and relate to things which comes after awareness.
Uh, but moving back towards that, I think is, is something that's a little
bit closer to where, you know, we emerge into reality, but as we evolve here,
you know, I think we could see, we don't really need, you know, better hands or different, you know, type of evolution, that direction.
It's going to be consciousness evolving to potentially a limit itself.
Doesn't need the body anymore.
Starts to move in.
So computers, other systems, how can it become more free?
Awareness will start to drift that way.
And consciousness will somehow maybe find its way
where you still construct identity within it.
I don't know if that's making sense.
No, that is such a good one.
No, that's such a good one, man.
I'm gonna say one last thing.
On that rip, go for it, yeah.
No, I gotta say one last thing and I'm done, man.
I promise I'll hush, but that's so good
because the deeper question, right, is,
again, what does it mean to be human?
Right. This philosophical anthropology. Right. That's the question.
And some people might say my body is not just some part of me to be replaced or whatever to not have.
My body would be serious, serious loss because it's the it's part of my identity.
That's more of a classical view the what came out of contemporary from especially from descartes who's
considered the father of contemporary um philosophy cogito ergo sum i think therefore i am
he located his most what he just said this act of awareness right i just think what's the first
thing you can do is this i know i'm a thinking. I know my mind is self-awareness, the state of awareness. And he said that's his most fundamental primal truth. I know that I'm a thinking thing. So the body for him was an extension. And that replaced or or made transhuman is where you get
your transhumanist movement from is this type of thinking so it's a it's a court man you hit the
crux of that right in the freaking center dude that's incredible well it's kind of weird too
because you could even start to look at like your memories like because a lot of people go well my
memories some of those things are what make me human because i like you know i remember being a
kid or growing up or whatever but you start to look at the way that we leverage uh almost like
in a laziness with your own brain like things like social media as your own memories now so like when
you go to look back at something you like scroll back in instagram or facebook or tiktok or wherever
you're at and you go okay this is uh my last birthday or this is my last whatever i did but
i think almost in the future it's like maybe we'll, again,
I'm relating it to the current tech that we have.
So I'm going, maybe we'll be recording all the time,
but maybe it'll be something totally different than that.
Like think of things like the meta glasses or the Ray-Ban glasses,
but now add 10 years of development.
Like I don't know what that would be, contacts or some shit like that,
where it's just you're always on, right?
And now it's like you're starting to develop this almost like
singularity thing happening where you just know all of these things that are happening like about
your friends like oh I could just check in I could just pop in and see what my friend is doing
but then beyond that you think about like almost what does that look like for your memories because
now in the future you could just look back at anything that you want to do so instead of it
being a memory it's an actual you could go back all the way to the
moment watch it fully and understand it what happens when that's just like almost a reflex
in your brain versus uh something you have to go click on like we're only a few steps away from
that right now which is interesting to me i'll take it down take it down a different rabbit hole.
I wanted to actually get Poet up to say a couple of words if he's down to do it.
I know. I was hoping I could hear from Poet too.
He's the man. He would tear this up.
Well, we'll see if he pops in here.
I'll give one last thing.
I learned about this cortical lab neuron cell chips maybe a year ago or a year and a half ago, a company in Australia.
with cannabinoids and wanted to work with them to see if we could extend the life of their neuron
cell chips using cannabinoids within the medium that they existed in. So, you know, a little
cannabis piece there. Wait, so you, that company you just talked about, you send them weed?
We sent them a whole bunch of different cannabinoids that they are still looking at and kind of exploring
as part of the fluid matrix, I guess, that neurons are in to see if we can extend the
life of them.
Did they do any tests with it?
Did they have anything?
Like, did it work?
I got to say, yeah, I've been too busy with other stuff until I actually just saw this
article about this new piece that they put out last month,
I had kind of forgotten about it for probably six months. But yeah, we sent a whole bunch of stuff,
just got to check back in. Yeah, that's wild. For a future episode. Yeah, that is probably a
future episode. I've got like, oh, sorry, does somebody want to say something? Okay, yeah. No,
I've got so many things I wanted to go down this like rabbit hole on this because what actually EB sounds sounds in here. EB, can you raise your hand to speak? Cause I want to bring you up on the stage. Um, I'm wondering if he wants to share something because if not, I'm going to just share it for him, but I'd rather have him share it. and all of these things related to and just consciousness in general um and one of the
things that came up was we started to like do these experiments on uh plants to see like if
you measured like the uh electrical impulses and then we found this little piece of equipment that
converted that into sounds what did it actually sound like so then we started testing this actually
on cannabis plants first because that was just natural to us and the sounds that came out were pretty mind-blowing like to the point where i'm like
this can't be real what's happening right now and it was you know like as soon as you touch the plant
or interact with it or move it think the way it felt or communicated in a weird way back uh changed
and so we played a couple of these last week and um eric came you know came into the to
the mix with this and he actually was like all right well send me those clips and i want to play
with them in the studio and so he he actually did and sent me them back um this week and they're
pretty mind-blowing i like listen to the one probably 10 times today just like thinking i
can't believe that this sound that now is a music track came
from a weed plant and that kind of blew my mind so there's like all these things where i'm starting
to think maybe i'm just like down this huge rabbit hole just because i think to to have too many weird
thoughts but it's like did this plant like have uh something it needed to communicate out and
somehow was so good at being able to do that that like
this plant was able to actually make music it through the medium of all of us being able to
like pull it together but yeah i want to play real quickly before i just talk about it i want to play
one of those tracks from it if you guys are down to hear it hold on okay so here is um this is the first just cannabis plant track that i played last week
i'm going to play just a real quick snippet of it and then i'll play the second one
so that was one and that was so that was i think think, one that was during a daytime where it was awake
and it was somewhat stimulated.
And this is one where it was resting.
So they're different sounding also. so we're getting kind of weird here with this i know let me see if i can get eric up here
i think he's there he is there we go all
right so eric before i don't want to play what you made i want to give you a second to maybe even
talk about it for a second was this the weirdest uh hello hey hey i got you i got you bro what's
up hey what's up everybody this is eric eric do you want to give a real quick intro because i know
that you were here last week and i'm so thankful that you came back this week.
Because this is insane what you put together.
And is this the weirdest project that has ever been brought to you?
I wouldn't classify it as weird, honestly.
I think anything is really cool, honestly, if it's different.
So it was dope to take on the challenge.
But yeah, I'm Eric.
I'm EB Sounds.
I'm from Chicago.
I'm out in LA.
Yeah, I was on like last week or a few weeks ago.
Yeah, I'm a music producer.
I produce for Chance and a bunch of other people.
I'm a part of the Grammys
I'm a voting member now
So it's really dope
But yeah, just working with film production, music, everything
But yeah, now this is a really dope project
Because since I'm a sample maker
You want to send out
Just really interesting material know material and you know really just
information for people you know so people can just flip it any way they'd like uh so it was dope
with this like starting point just because these sounds were so interesting like the the vibration
and just like low frequencies from them.
Yeah, they were just a lot of fun to play with.
But yeah, it was cool to see what you did because like in my head, I, you know,
because I'm not a musician,
I thought like this is going to be really, really hard
for somebody to make something with this
because it's just such a different sound.
But like what you sent back is insane to me.
I was just like, fuck.
Yeah, so play the first one again.
Play the first plant sound, and you could turn it up a little bit.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Because it was a little.
Okay.
Yeah, really interesting.
But yeah, I kind of flipped it i kind of made this um kind of uk garage um like drum and bass kind of vibe you know um i did some like vocal samples
on it too but it sounds really dope i think you might you guys might like it okay ready
do you want me to play the track that you made with it yeah play okay hopefully i don't mess this up here we go kind of yeah it's kind of hard to hear okay sorry maybe it's just the twitter but
on my hand it sounds fucking insane i'm gonna post them in the comments so you guys can actually check them out.
Like, how did you just, I mean, I don't know.
You probably can't share your full process.
But, like, how did you even start to break that down?
No, of course I can.
So I kind of just took the sample and I put it in my program.
I used Fruity Loops just because it's really easy to
control and navigate then i um i i it was a little bit fast so i slowed it down a little bit i kind
of dropped it down maybe like seven eight bpm um and then i, then I played like a synth synth pad on it so that, uh, kind of,
it had something to play against. It had like a cool, like bounce already. So it was, I was kind
of playing off of the BPM just cause it was like, it would kind of play like, like they were high
hats or something, but, um, it was like this constant rhythm. So it was really easy to just like play
chords off of. Then I came up with a bass line. And after that, it kind of just took form. I made
like this kind of vocal sample just because a lot of UK garage music has, you know, they're just
like 10 minute tracks. And it's just like someone singing that they're just like replaying and
sampling over and over again. So it's like, you kind of just get lost in it just because it's just like someone singing that they're just like replaying and sampling over and over again. So it's like you kind of just get lost in it just because it's more about the music, really.
But yeah, then it just came together.
I just started kind of putting my little, you know, my little EB kind of tricks on it.
But ultimately, it's just, you know, it's just a cool dance vibe.
So but it's crazy where it started because um i
didn't think it would go there once i once i end up coming up with it once i came up with the
the bass line it's it made sense um to do like a bouncy kind of you know like dancey kind of vibe
um and yeah i really love how it sounds would you be down if like um if i just because this has been
kind of cool because of how organic this has uh happened where we started with uh weed sounds
then it translated to you put some some structure behind it and made it into art now could you would
you release this a little bit into load not not saying to release it into the world where you're
just giving it out there but would you let some people try and maybe put tracks over it like it because there's a lot of
creatives in this in this room right now absolutely what like yeah we should we should like i could
probably just make a drop box and just make it available to everybody and just send it send it
to you and you could probably just distribute it it'd be kind of cool to see if like now if next
week we come back and somebody has actually put like you know a track over the top of it um and so um yeah all right now that would
be sick but ultimately too i think it's just like a cool vibe to just listen to like it's
like a cool vibe to like you know drive and you know i i was i was like imagining driving down
to pch even though it's kind of a little wrecked over there right now still.
But yeah, this is kind of like a late night kind of.
It's got a Cali vibe to it.
Still vibe.
Yeah.
No, it's, it's, it feels good.
It's kind of cool because like my, my mind is definitely blown on this, that we somehow right now brought music to life through weed.
I don't, I mean, maybe somebody has done this before,
but I don't think that that's happened.
And like also in a significant way,
like,
so I promise next week I will have the music part figured out so we can
play the whole track.
If somebody makes one and I will post up either a Dropbox link or some
way that you guys can get these from EB.
So you could try and make something with it.
Cause it would be really interesting to see,
see somebody make something from this um yeah i appreciate you like even playing with this
with us and i know there's like there are a number of uh music creatives because like this whole
space you know in jc's uh space and in other spaces i've been in there it seems like there's a lot of
creatives in crypto i don't know if that's just the nature of the people I've interacted with
or if that's just like actually is across the board.
There's a bunch more creatives.
I actually don't know this.
I feel like if you're really good at one thing,
you're probably at least 70%, 80% good at two, three other things.
Most people are, I feel.
Yeah, maybe that's true.
Or just putting in the time. I don't know. But it'll be interesting to see what people come up with. good at like two three other things like most people are i feel yeah maybe that's true or just
putting in the time i don't know but yeah it'll be interesting to see what people come up with
and i just like i really appreciate you i know you're like a very busy human out there in hollywood
and doing all kinds of cool stuff and coming into even like sneaking with us on this space is just
like a super honor and i i really couldn't appreciate it more i think it's that chicago
love you know you people just like our chic Chicago people stick together. And I really appreciate you for doing that for us.
I've been having a blast. Honestly, I've been listening in this whole time. I was, oh my gosh,
like two years ago, all I cared about was NFTs. And I was like, you guys, are you, do you, so you
don't mess with OpenSea? I still do yeah and i think you know uh
betty that was up here talking about like their project is on open sea what what nft i'm just
curious now i didn't even know you were in into nfts like what man oh my i had a if i showed you
my page you'd be like holy shit you actually were like if you scroll down yeah well i'll we can have
this conversation.
But yeah, we got to get you set up with a Zaman wallet.
We have a public mint on April 4th.
You should mint one from us.
I would love to.
All right, I'll teach you how to do it.
Man, me and my buddy was going to, me and my buddy were coming up with a collection.
I can't, you're going to be so impressed when we actually
tap in because it
is a lot of fun.
Seeing you guys and hearing you guys being
this passionate, it's
just bringing a lot of light
into my life, so I appreciate you guys a lot.
Hello? Hello. hello hello i think uh ralek's maybe distracted can you hear me i muted myself because i thought i was like i was getting like a weird clipping sound and i
thought that it was just my mic so i had muted it i apologize but yeah no i uh i appreciate you
coming in and and even just jumping in with us and talking about all this weird shit.
So I want to keep...
Go ahead.
Please, my one last thing before I did.
More rabbit holes.
Do it.
Do it.
We're here for it.
All right.
Thanks a lot, guys.
Man, EB, if you do share that, can you share the actual FL project file?
Because that's what I use too.
Oh, I would love to do that.
Let's get it.
Perfect.
Yeah, just send me your email. I got you.
What's your rabbit hole? Are you going to say something about aliens?
No, I want to hear you guys go off further.
You guys have so much great information.
It's just really fun to listen.
Do we really have great information,
or are we just all up here with our weird conspiracy theories
and Reddit deep dives that we've done for fucking hours?
Sometimes I'll wake up, and I'll be like,
holy shit, I just did all of this research last night,
and I'm thinking about it, and I break it down. I'm like, all right. I just, I just did all of this research last night and I'm
thinking about it and I like break it down. I'm like, all right, you stayed up till three in the
morning. You researched some, uh, some weird spaceship tech or some kind of thing that is
like some tech that again, maybe it will bring meaning to the world. But generally if I was to
take that time, set it aside and go, what was that eight hours spent? Was that valuable time?
Am I bringing something to the world or did I just blow did i just burn time so i don't know what is what it actually is i'm
bringing here but uh i am having fun with it i think that's the only thing that matters honestly
all right well i want to just real quick i i know i could go i could continue to go down like a
rabbit hole for this forever but i know a lot of people are here for some alpha around things that are happening in the NFT space with specifically, we're going to talk about BearChamp for a minute here.
JC, are you still here? Did you fall asleep?
He might have dropped off. Let's see. If he didn't, I'm going to spill all the alpha just by myself.
All right. That's how it goes. Here we go. All right. Well, so if you guys are here and I know
All right. That's how it goes. Here we go.
a lot of you already got to mint, so there was a number of mint days that are planned here before
the 4th, April 4th. So April 4th is the public mint, which is Friday. And so on Friday, anybody
that wants to be part of this community has been watching from the sidelines, has been fading it,
whatever that roundabout trip where you're at,'re doing this public mint on friday and it's
your chance to get one um the mint price is 44 xrp 44.4 it's a special number to our community so um
that's the mint price and um before that there's a couple i think there's tomorrow is like the last
one of the last days where there's a free mint list,
and that was for people that owned either NFTs and different combinations from the collection.
But I think the thing that's been interesting around this collection as it came out is that
there was a number of people just starting to build things like rabidly.
I don't know if Matt from BuildX is here.
It's probably
crazy late by him because he's from the uk but he um he built like a whole tool like and he was
just talking about it uh earlier today so we have this whole thing where the first uh collection
that came out jc wanted to have like the traits sort of be not hidden but there are obviously
like traits to the collection and there are rarities to the collection. Um, but he wanted it to be more like if you're in the art gallery and you were, uh,
you were looking at paintings, you weren't going to just say like the one with the red gloves is
more money than the one with the blue gloves, because I only did one of those paintings versus
the blue gloves I got too. So it was just kind of this whole like weird thing at first when we were
having this whole conversation about doing these NFTs. And so we you know uh the the plan as it came out was that
there would be no rarities turned on in the set and it was interesting because that was something
we had you know talked about and i was actually really nervous about letting it go out that way
i was kind of like i don't know how people react people are used to doing things sort of the way
they're used to doing them but what's cool is it just like, it turned into a whole thing where people were going
like, well, we love it like that, you know?
So now these two new collections came out and those by design had the rarities turned
And so it's been interesting because now it's like, there's this thing you could step back
and look at and go like how will these
collections trade differently over time you know based on rarities or or you know like um where one
has it and one does not and so anyways um you're seeing the you're seeing the this last piece of
the trilogy roll out right now so there is there was the ogs that rolled out first. There was 500 of those. There was the GFs that rolled out next, 500 of those.
And then there is the last collection, which is called That Is Fuck, if you haven't heard about it yet.
It started minting out yesterday, and then there was a mint window today.
I think by the time public mint hits on Friday, there should be over 1,000 still open for the public to get so a smaller number
but also it will still be very widely open for for anybody's game to jump in so last time things
kind of went crazy and it sold out in like three seconds I don't know how it's like people keep
asking me all day today like what i think will
happen on friday i actually have no idea what's going to happen on friday uh anybody else have a
thought on what's going to happen friday elliot you've been in here for days with us like listening
and watching people i mean like it's fucking insane in there what do you think are you unmuting
no alia he's there a lake yeah muted but it's just not uh not coming through yeah okay weird alay um you haven't been you have not can you hear me yeah we can hear you right there we go
sorry i was just saying um i was literally just scrolling through all these new ones because there was another mint today, right?
Was, yeah, there was like, I don't know, probably a couple hundred got minted today.
So and then tomorrow it'll probably be, I don't know how many are on that small segment of people tomorrow.
But it's really small chunks of people.
So there really will be a good
amount for the public uh when it happens i've still got to get one of these skate ones what
did you did you mint anything cool i know you're are you chewing are you eating right now on my
show yeah sorry tablet just elliot with ice dm me your wallet elliot i minted one for you oh yeah
yeah did you like elliot was in there like straight fomoing he's like i tried to mint one
i couldn't i couldn't get the skate one he's like holy shit i didn't know there was skate ones
and so yeah that was a pretty cool uh pretty cool trait there was a few different traits that have
like come out and i actually don't know um what like what
how many of each are there i kind of only know what i've like sort of seen come out so far but
there was like a skate trait there was a tyson trait like a like um almost like a zombie tyson
and that was a pretty cool one there was like a unicorn some sort of unicorn trait was like a
banner that was pretty great and um what's been kind of fun is like seeing people like have the because it's coming out
slower because it's like these staged out mint days people are sort of guessing like they don't
know like well how many more are going to be in the set and it's been fun because jc sort of
haven't given even previews of that so it's like i don't know i don't know currently the i actually
don't even know the answer to this maybe phenor you could answer this as nfts are coming out is the you see those
percentages and stuff i think there's been a debate i think that that is not based on the
whole collection that's based on what is being seen currently that has been minted out and that
number those numbers will change or slightly change over time based on
when the whole collection is out is that that's correct okay cool i just want to make sure i
wasn't speaking bullshit but i thought that that was the way it went down um and so yeah right now
i don't know what the rarest one in the whole set is going to be because everything hasn't come out
yet and so um not to like i don't know it's been maybe part of the fun of it because it felt like for the last, I don't know, last night at least.
And then even tonight, like I see even people over the corner of my eye, I'm like, our telegram is going off like crazy.
But people are almost like as each one gets minted, they're like calling it out like a sports show or something like, holy shit.
Had you see that? What was that trait? I haven't seen that trait yet.
And then it's almost like,
not in a bad way,
but in a fun way,
people PvPing each other.
They're like,
don't say shit on the VC
because as soon as you say something,
somebody's going to snipe it.
And so somebody started talking about one
and then one second later,
you see it get sniped.
And then I think I even heard
no one sniped a really good one
and everybody was like,
oh shit, I know it was no one who sniped it. So it was just pretty funny to see it. Zalad, you got your hand think I even heard like no one sniped a really good one. And everybody was like, oh, shit, I know it was no one.
He sniped it.
So it's just pretty funny to see it.
Zalad, you got your hand raised.
Go for it.
Yeah, it's stuck up there.
But check the comments there.
The last comment I just put in, I literally saved my last two minutes to do live in the space.
And I minted them a couple of minutes ago.
And I landed a skateboard one.
And my goal was to get a skateboard to give to Elliot. So that's one that you want.
That's cool. If you guys minted today, like if anybody here minted today,
go post the, whatever you minted in the comments right now,
like go post your favorite one. And if,
even if you didn't mint something from our community,
go post your favorite NFT. I'm actually like,
because we have a bunch of East friends here tonight.
If you want to show whatever the, favorite communities are like toss them in the comments
so like when betty and some of these other folks are like scrolling through later they can check
out things that that they see i wanted to really quick i uh just because we have poet are you
willing to speak i know you're up here i know i i keep putting you on the spot but i want to have
you be able to speak if you are available to.
I see him unmuting, but I can't hear him. It's okay. He might, it might be too late for him
because it is late by him. And he's actually been like in a VC for like six hours straight. So
very cool on that front. And thank you for that. All right. So there is a couple of more things
just real quick around that collection and I'll stop kind of shilling right there on it. And if
there's anybody else that's in here that wants to talk about things they've got going on real
quick here at the end, we're going to just give some time for that um i think the biggest thing would be that if you are here
from eth i talked about this at the front but i didn't want to like hog up too much time because
i wanted to get betty in um you know setting up the zaman wallet part is not that hard just don't
get frustrated like you know i've like have had multiple even
elliot like elliot how many times do you call me a day where you're frustrated you can't figure
some shit out and you're like all right i tried to do something yeah i try and keep it to like
a few times a week otherwise it'd be like every second but um yeah it's kind of one of those i
feel like if you once you do it though how how bad was it it didn't feel that crazy right what as far as the zaman just like understanding yeah how to like you it's just a
little different but just like swiping you know when you have to interact with something you got
to swipe it i think like little things to be careful of like um i don't know these are like
if you give pro tips it's like if you're into nfts there are these like all these different transactions you
have to like swipe to interact with things and for example say somebody was to make you
a super super low ball offer on an nft that you had in your wallet and then you were minting nfts
that day and then you have all these like transactions to approve be really careful
about like what transactions you approve because maybe you might accidentally approve like a sale you don't want to do when
you really think you're just approving like accepting an nft so like they're in that events
tab like just really be careful of like the things you do there but i think that's like safety
practices that are normal for um for as far as like your you know whatever shit you're doing
normally like with if you're doing normally, like with, if
you're doing ETH NFTs, the same thing, you just be really careful with things you're
doing.
Um, but I think the other thing that's weird for people is just like, uh, maybe setting
trust lines from Zaman.
Like if you were buying a token or something like that, um, you know, some of that seems
tricky, but it's really not that hard.
I mean, again, it maybe takes you one day where you get to the point where you're feeling okay
about it. I don't know. Fiena,
are you have any ways like you could maybe give some just straight up a couple
of fresh tips for people that are just getting going on, on ETH or on,
on XRP from you? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. If you're coming over first off,
thanks for checking us out. And that's fantastic. Appreciate the love.
Uh, first step would probably be to get a Zaman wallet, X-A-M-A-N.
That's a mobile wallet, so it's a self-custody wallet.
It's a good one. It's probably
the most widely used. Once you have that wallet, you're going to need to fund it
with some XRP. I think it's like one or two. I forget. They lowered the reserve.
Your next step to interact on the XRPL would be to, you can check out First Ledger. They're pretty popular.
It's basically launching and you can do trades there. If you're looking for something a little
bit more advanced, something more traditional, kind of like what you would see with a centralized
exchange, that would be Xmagnetic.
And you can connect your Zaman wallet there.
And that'll give you basic like DEX interface,
spot market, access to liquidity pools.
There you can do your swap, deposit single double side,
withdraw single double side.
And then XRP Cafe is probably your number one spot for NFTs.
And you can connect your XAMON wallet there as well.
And all these are just graphical user interfaces that connect directly to the DEX.
The XRPL itself is a DEX.
It's a decentralized exchange.
So all of these interfaces are just connecting to that.
And you're signing for
approval with your Zaman wallet, which again is self-custody. And that's pretty much the ecosystem.
There's a little, you know, sprinkled here and there. You can go further, but that's pretty like
I get like these questions that, and again, I'm not going to ever say that a question is a stupid
question because there is zero, zero, zero stupid questions when you're trying to learn something like
never is there a time when you, when you should feel stupid asking a question, but I've had
a few questions where people go.
So if I have a Zaman wallet on my iPad and I have a Zaman wallet on my iPhone and they're
both logged in, you know, I used, I typed in my seed phrase and I logged in.
So like, where's the money or where's my NFTss are they like on my iphone are they on my ipad or is it like in the cloud
somewhere and so it's like you know i know that seems silly to to think okay that's an interesting
question but it uh it's not on it's not on your iphone so you're like you know you're safe if you
if you were to like delete that app you're not deleting the money off of it your your your money's
not living on your on your device itself if that makes sense and that's, you're not deleting the money off of it. Your money's not living on your device itself, if that makes sense.
And that's like, I know FENOR just gave a great explanation of how the ledger works,
but there are no silly questions.
So you don't have to be afraid.
For example, I've had it before where I needed to do something and I like forgot my device at home.
And I was like, shit, I got to put this on my phone for a minute.
And I don't like, sometimes I don't like having, you know, for me personally, just I'm crazy OCD.
So I don't have like my wallets on my phone, you know, because I'm like interacting with emails and text messages and all kinds of things like that.
So I just keep things sort of separated as much as possible
as just like a random safety tip.
That may be just like OCD housekeeping.
It actually doesn't matter.
I mean, does that matter to you, Fiena?
Or do you do like for safety tips like that?
I feel pretty safe with the Zaman
because like you said, the assets,
whether it's an NFT or whatever,
or on-chain, the wallet is just a key to interact with that. And it's a self or whatever or on-chain the wallet is just a key
to interact with that
and it's a self-custody so I feel pretty
safe with it
I keep mine on my phone personally but
that's just me
I mean you hear like
horror stories of people clicking
random
spam links and things like that in telegrams
that look like a safeguard
they click it and all
of a sudden their like wallet is drained i don't think that that type of a scenario could happen
with a zaman wallet because i think that's mostly people that are using either like bots or first
ledger or wallet i don't even think that could happen with a first ledger wallet but maybe it
could um i'm sure somebody could correct me on that but on a zaman wall you have to at least
approve that transaction of some type of transaction that's trying to go through.
So even if you are using a First Ledger wallet, you could have potentially more preview to what's
happening if you even imported that into Zaman. I guess here's another question that came up a
bunch, FNOR, and you could probably give a better opinion about this. Would you feel better? Um, you know,
as far as setting up a Zaman wallet, like a straight up Zaman wallet or importing a first
ledger wallet into Zaman, they're two different things. And I think a lot of people have asked
that question. I've tried to give my opinion about it, but I, um, I don't want to put you on the spot either. If you don't want to give an opinion about it but i um i don't want to put you on the spot
either if you don't want to give an opinion about oh no no that's a good question for sure for me
personally these are um these are really two different use cases so first ledger they have a
wallet a new wallet coming out so definitely check them out shout out to them they're fantastic
floppy in the team um but anyway, yeah, the first ledger ecosystem
is basically a meme launchpad,
and they're building out from there. So that has a
very specific reason why you'd be over there.
And whereas Zaman is more
like a full wallet,
has its own X apps,
it's like, you know,
and like you said, you need a trustline
to interact, can't get
drained on click.
But yeah, I have, I would keep those separate in my opinion.
That's what I do also.
So yeah, and I just, I kind of, again, these are just my random things.
I don't, these are not like, this is not in any way like advice that you should follow
to a T. I don't know, you know, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Maybe other people could do it better, but this is kind of just how i've bumped my way through and um you know
simple things like i think a lot of people like i've had you know elliot even had like a story
where he got worked on some kind of a crypto thing but just like keeping all that stuff uh
you know zaman actually i really love great and slick ux or things that because i came from a user
experience background in tech and like i really love like ux and even UX or things that, cause I came from a user experience background in tech and like,
I really love like UX and even just the way that they do their seed phrase is
better to me. Like just the, because the, you know,
the way they force you to, you know,
you have to write these things down.
Like a lot of times people do things where they like screenshot shit and put
it in there, keep it in their phone. That's not very secure.
And if you get worked at some point down the road,
when you start to like unpack, like what happened,
you go, oh shit, this was probably my fault
because I was just kind of being sloppy.
So I think all the main things that apply
in other places kind of apply here.
So if you're from ETH and you're here listening tonight,
you know, the same kind of safety tips apply here.
But one of the things I've found overall in the community,
not just our community, but all of the communities,
is people are totally down to help.
And I want to put a lay on the spot for a second
because I've been on your shit for how long
about getting a wallet set up.
Have you set one up yet?
It's going to be a minute of silence
because he unmutes to say no he has not
all right well in a second i'm going to if he pops back in in a second i'm going to put him
on the spot because like i think i've been kind of preaching to friends for a minute to
to set up wallets and i you know it's like you you unless you are like uh not annoying about it
but unless you're persistent and continuing to
show them like here's what you should be doing they're not going to do it or they're not going
to get started like even you know even people that are really really building advanced stuff
you know sometimes coming over to xrp they don't they haven't checked it out enough to know what's
going on here so like even betty was just in here and she they're building some fucking crazy things
but hasn't,
you know,
still will need somebody to show her the ropes over here as far as what
things she should dig into and how to do it.
So it's cool that everybody's been so helpful for new people.
I also pulled Jonesy up here because I think there's some more things we've
got to talk about before we end here.
But Jones,
you got something to say?
You know what?
Everything I was like, I wanted to jump in on was already.
I've already passed it.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
That's cool.
Well, so what I wanted to say was that, yeah, Elliot, I was, him and I were talking in the,
it's funny as all.
It's like, yeah, I got a deck for you.
I was sitting up.
um i hit him up i hit up ellie earlier because i actually minted out three um but if zalid you
I hit him up.
I hit up Ellie earlier.
Cause I actually minted out three.
know you want to give up your deck brother go for it like it's whatever you want to meet your boys
so it's all good um whichever one elliot whichever one you like more are you trying to negotiate for
a are you trying to negotiate for a real skate deck in real life that we're trying to do right now oh no i'm sure i'll i'll figure out some way to get one later on you know it's just like you know it's
it's just like how i hooked up um your other buddy i don't want to i don't want to throw his
name out there uh just like i did you know how i hooked him up yeah you're pretty you've been
pretty cool about about making sure people that are coming in and curious about the
community get get like set up right and and elliot did you get you did mint one what did you mint
i minted three of them yesterday um i just dropped it in the comments
oh cool you got some dizzies in there too 796 is super tight yeah like 163 is also really good too
the anything with the snakes really good yeah there's there's some that you just don't want
to treat brother like you'll be taking what was the story about the snake one again like
how did that come into the collection i know there was a story behind that one uh snake uh miss miss b champ oh really that's cool yeah that's her snake and and
i don't know how she got well you know what it is it's because she's always won like every single
raid contest um i hooked her up with an nft on on one of our one of your guys's first raid contests
uh and i gave her a b champ um and so she's just a super tight person to have in the community
she's super cool and somehow her I don't know how the snake got brought in I know it's hers
because she posted a photo of it but it's rad because she just she minted today like the sickest
one out of the whole collection yeah I know she was talking about it like all week in the chats uh
basically saying like please if anybody gets this like i'm willing to pay whatever amount of money
for it i need to like own it in some way and like everybody like literally everybody was in our vc
like watching each one as it popped in from the mints like oh shit that's that one's dope what's
what's the traits on that so then like when a couple of those pop through people like oh i hope she gets one i hope she got one i hope she got one and it's
like all random you know like as these things are popping out they're not even in like numerical
order so it's just like you know say one would pop through and then it's like 15 pops out and
then 40 or whatever it is so it was really it was like really a long shot to go like is she
gonna get it all of a sudden like she popped in
it was like like i think actually almost emotional like like i might be i'm gonna be crying about
this but like she had gotten actually got a dope one so cool that people have been about that
i was actually able to like negotiate a really great trade with somebody who was super based
because everybody knew that there was one that i really wanted and i i kept i kept saying that like
all these
motherfuckers are gonna fleece me for this thing they're gonna like hit me up and be like all right
or I like I'll give you this one but it's gonna be 15,000 xrp and it's yours and I really felt
that was happening I was like fuck I'm gonna have to pay big time for this shit but somebody was
really cool about um being like all right I know I got the one that you wanted and i'm just going
to straight up trade trade you so just like pick one of the ones that you minted and we'll just
straight trade for it so like didn't even gouge me was super based and cool and so thank you you
know who you are and i appreciate you for doing that and that's um and it was just like that's
what we've been doing since since the og's minted right like everybody's really been taking care of each other and and i just made one hell of a trade i really wanted one of the uh dead as fuck aliens
and i got it i traded and i'm like hey look here's here's i mean a lot of people in here know
the quantity that i have and i was like hey here's here's two og's brother like if you want these
yeah this it's been buying.
Like, there's a few people that have a real conviction.
I'm super stoked.
They're going to sweep.
You're the man.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
I needed it to, because now I have a three-eyed OG with the horn.
I have an alien OG.
I have an astronaut helmet.
And now I have the alien dead as fuck so it like
all right well so if you're if you're listening and you're planning on minting on friday
uh in the public mint i think you know just make sure you have your stuff set up like again like
um if you are new and you're again you came here listening you know today from eth um make sure
that uh you have your stuff set up and ready to go because like don't wait till friday till the
oh i think you went did i cut out is it me or is it is it really it could be you guys are both fine
okay yeah no i'm i'm just like uh it might be you uh jonesy listening but um yeah
i think like the the biggest thing that you could do to mess yourself up is like wait till friday to
try and set all these things up like right before the mint or like think that you'll have a few
seconds uh i'm i have a feeling there's enough people sort of watching and waiting for this one
to go off and because again again, uh, I design,
this was designed where more things will go out into the public,
than in the community.
So there,
you know,
it is going to be out there into the world and people are going to
snipe the shit like fast.
So I know personally,
I'm going to be watching for,
people to paper hand stuff onto the floor because I'm just going to
snipe it right up.
I want to get,
there's a few that I want.
And so I just know at some point they're going to, somebody's going to putipe it right up i i want to get um there's a few that i want and so i just know at some point they're gonna somebody's gonna put one low enough that i'm gonna get it um and so i've kind of got my little list one of them is the roses trait and
i'm actually gonna actually i'm gonna stop myself from telling you all what the ones i want because
you guys are gonna just mark your prices up on them um but before i close i'm gonna make sure
that by friday allay has a wallet set up.
Cause I'm, I'm going to just give him shit until he does,
because I want to see him in one of these.
Um, because he's been watching this project from the side.
Cause I talk about it every single day.
He's my business partner inside to a point where I annoy him.
I'm like just telling him so much about it.
And then I'm also going to push EB to set up a wallet, uh,
as well before Friday.
So out in LA, I'm going to send you all the instructions of what you need to EB to set up a wallet as well before Friday. So out in LA, I'm going to send you
all the instructions of what you need to do to set up. All right, before we go, if there's any
other questions, if not, we've got a few guests coming up that are going to be interesting to
watch for. I'm not even going to mention who they are. And if you miss it, you're going to feel
stupid for missing it. You're going to be like, fuck, how did I miss that? These dudes, literally, how did they have that happen? So
I think you need to sort of just pay attention. I'm always really like,
instead of me like making a big deal about things, I like to just slide them in. Like
sometimes I'll just like in the middle of the night, drop something in the telegram and then
you just miss it. And like five people maybe see it. Sometimes I do that. So just pay attention.
Olay, I know that you,
we had so many other things to go down the road of, but I'm going to push them to next week just
because I, we're already like way over on time. I think I told you guys a half hour and that was
like, so, so, so long ago. Um, thank you all for sticking around. Let me see. There's a couple more
really quick. Yeah, no, I gonna we're gonna be done because i
it's getting too late but thank you so much for everybody for coming um again anybody is welcome
to participate in friday anybody is welcome to ask me questions i'm trying to get through dms as
much as possible um and you know they're all of the details are in our discord um if you're here from another community supporting and like listening to the space, I really fucking appreciate you guys because like I'm trying to jump around to different communities and spaces and things too.
And I know it's a lot of work and I know there's like everybody's busy.
Everybody's got jobs and day things they do, families, whatever.
But I really do feel like we're all doing really important work right now like maybe i'm crazy but i think that like beyond the community and beyond like this community
the b champ community or if you're if you're in another community it's more about like what
all of this is doing is creating movement for the ledger for xrp as a whole and it's like
in a weird way we're part of the foundation
of like what will happen in the future and how people interact here in the future and the things
that you build today will be things that people talk about later and so like i really think this
is really important work we're doing like i know that like when you go to your families and you're
talking about like oh i'm in this meme coin or i've got this nft some people might look at you like you're really fucking crazy like you're trading
jpegs on the internet you know your families look at you and go wow but i really think that
when you look back at like what things will evolve out of these spaces and about out of the
technology that's being built around these things you'll look back at this time and go like man that
was actually one of the most important mo you know blocks of time or blocks of history in my life was those years
where I was really locked in and focused on what what people were building and I was really in
tune and listening for it because I think a lot of it is not you know people will call it luck
like when you when your friends later down the road go damn they really got lucky with whatever that was in. It's not that it's just being around and it's like listening and being
open for whatever the thing is that kind of comes your way. And if you're around enough, the thing I
know for a fact is if you're around enough in this space, really good things will happen for you.
As long as you're a good person and as long as you're not, um, you know, as long as you're not
doing nefarious things, if you're around enough and you're just watching and you're a good person, as long as you're not, you know, as long as you're not doing nefarious things, if you're around enough, and you're just watching, and you're paying attention, and you put
in the time, things will come your way, not just like people, I'm not saying people giving you
things, it's more like, you'll see the play, or you'll see something happen, or you'll start to
develop these skills that maybe you didn't realize you had, like, maybe you start out, and you're
great at writing, reading charts, because you came from finance world. You came from crypto somewhere else, but maybe you're new.
And then all of a sudden you're like, man, like almost like a video game.
You're like learning new skills you're unlocking.
Like, oh shit, I know more about this now.
And so each time that you sort of develop, then this whole thing gets more interesting.
So I'm going to stop myself there and I'm going to say come back next week because we've got more to pick up.
I wish these could actually be like five hours long but my but nobody would be here everybody else fall asleep
and i've just been talking to myself um relic jonesy wanted to know what the device was called
you used to listen to the plants he keeps dm'ing me oh he does well you know what i'll do is i'll
just actually post the link you guys can just click it and there we go and then you guys anybody
else can play and try and find and make some
make some weird music i'm also going to post these uh and uh these mp3s up um or maybe eb
will put it together in sort of like a dropbox link but next week i want to see what people are
making so if you're if you've made sounds from this um from these clips and or if you're going
to lay down a track over the top of them because there's
a few producers in the in the space to or people that are you know going to put lyrics over
something so yeah let's see what happens organically maybe nothing happens maybe we will
have fucking face melting music next week to check out so appreciate you all and have a good night.
