Thank you. Oh hi, it's Angel Albert with the Coogies and the Lukies and the Pupies and the Nancys and the Angels.
Now I messed up the Beep Bo Bop music. Now I can't set the angels. Now I messed up the beep-o-bop music.
Now I can't set the vibe.
Is that...
Is that the D-Girl?
Is that the D-Girl?
Is that D-Dyla, D-Dyla, D-Dyla, and D-Dyla?
How you doing?
Long time no see.
Where you been at?
Bro, I am thirsty, bro.
Play the music.
Drop the beep. I can't do it now oh the
once it's done it's over with you can't beep bo bop anymore you know what's funny
the beep bo bop music was only heard by you it wasn't actually beeping bopping for us
really that's whack that's the only reason why i like opened the mic because like i
was like oh it's one of those days it's one of those days good to know good to know because
that means um that i was still hearing it and you guys are sitting here in awkward silence and
that's stupid well sometimes the silence isn't awkward sometimes it's dreadful because we have
to think about our lives instead of just you know know, disassociating into a Twitter space.
I'm not for that. I want to stay in my little Delulu state.
I have a song for you, though.
You do?
You do?
Play something. So we're not sitting here talking about music.
I'm killing a moment while the Spotify opens on the app.
Hey, guys.
I want you guys to just unapologetically drop Dyla and the Abstract Angels into every group chat you're a part of.
This is the Kugaverse anthem.
Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
Co-host me, sis. Kill all the passionate, the fire is sway Saved with discipline, never backing down Fat Pete, the fattest, wears his crown
Spin X, the smartest, plotting the course
Together they fight
When I'm fighting, with all of my
When I'm not shining in the night
Fights unite, dominate our creed
And the two diverse powers The night shining in the night, fights unite, dominate our creed in the Kewka-verse powers.
Through struggles and battles, we strive to excel in this universe where stories dwell.
With each step they take, they draw closer to becoming the ultimate Kewka-warrior.
We'll face their fears, embrace the fight, with determination burning bright.
Face their fears, embrace the fight with determination burning bright.
In the midst of chaos, their face stands all, for they know they'll conquer it all.
We're all fighting, we're all on my way.
Night and night's shining in the night.
Fight tonight, turn and let our queen in the kingdom of love.
We're all good fighting, we're all good fighting,
we're all good fighting, we know that's not easy, but we are going through, we are shaping
our claws, keeping our land, changing souls.
Fight, unite, dominate, let's go. Official Women's Community chat, not chat, account for Abstract.
And behind the account is Dyla.
So you see my little, my little bare ears PFP creeping over there on the side, my little alter ego.
And today we finally get to chill with Kugaverse.
And Kiro, thank you for coming through and hanging out.
I feel like every space I've been in lately um we've just been hanging out so
now now we get to have our own and we can do whatever we want so that's cool
all right guys uh dyla okay this is something i've always wanted to address
i know you from your cosplay days girl oh shit oh shit okay i'm just waiting for the daila green pingu cosplay i need the full green
abstract palatone coated face paint i need the beanie i need the beak when daila abstract angel
cosplay angel wings you know what i i've thought about it and i've been trying to conceptualize
one to put together uh because if you don't know what kiro've thought about it, and I've been trying to conceptualize one to put together.
Because if you don't know what Kira was talking about, probably, oh my gosh, like a year and a half ago,
I did a blue cosplay for a token.
And yeah, I had a whole blue bodysuit and wig, painted my face.
It was pretty intense. It was a pretty intense cosplay.
It's not a phase, mom!
And honestly, it was probably the most creatively scary thing for me to put out there.
Because it's not very, like, web pre-coded.
It's very, you know, left of center.
But the most exciting and rewarding content I've ever made.
Because it was just so weird.
People either loved it or were like completely freaked out and wondering if I needed help.
And that's exactly what I wanted to achieve with it.
And that's how people, teachers specifically describe Diala's children.
Oh my gosh. Honestly, yeah, I have too.
And they're both incredibly artistic kids.
And so it's no surprise. They're actually, fun fact, they are a big voice in what I invest in. I asked them what they think of the art and space, when you're talking about IP that's actually marketable, I want an honest opinion and they're going to give it to me straight.
So they really kind of drive what I invest in and how much I invest and help me keep perspective of why I'm here. So I can't just like buy and degen into shit because I literally ask and want to see my wallet.
can't just like buy and degen into shit because I literally ask and want to see my wallet.
So if I'm just like buying and flipping JPEGs, they will call me out on it. So I can't even do
that. So I am a perpetual community member and it's a good thing. I love community so much and
supporting projects because otherwise I'd be pretty screwed and have to have like shady wallets and
stuff. And I really don't have the attention span for that. you know daila you should do okay i know abstract streaming is a safe place let's establish that
but i know as a parent you don't want to have your kids anywhere right so let's get penguin
masks on right do you know more than a five-year-old do you profit and loss do you pnl more than a five-year-old let's put this thesis
to the test let's put a game show on stream dial us two kids do you trade better than them they're
gonna buy some nfts some ip snipes and we'll see if we can beat their wallet. I think this is a series.
My 10-year-old would rock my teen's shit,
and that's what I'm worried about.
I really would worry about how much he would show up,
his sister,
and make me depressed for how much I'm paying for college,
for how terrible she's at trading.
Mommy loves you, but damn.
Mommy loves you, but marry a rich man.
No, mommy loves you, but be a rich man.
But mommy is a rich man.
I mean, so she's, I've been trying to gear her more
towards getting interested in the art and community.
I think she gets a little intimidated.
And I'm like, I literally lead women's community.
Like, bro, what the fuck?
So I'm always kind of on the lookout.
And I'm like, hey, here's a link to this.
The only thing she's really showed interest in,
she was like, oh, did you know that there's this NFT
that gets you tickets to Rolling Loud?
I'm like, I do.
You shouldn't.
The fuck?
Wait, wait, wait. Okay, just really quick. I know we haven't even started this space officially, I'm like, I do. You shouldn't. The fuck? So.
Wait, wait, wait. OK, just really quick. I know we haven't even started the space officially, but what and what what what who would she go to Rolling Loud to watch this day and age? I do not know. Any concert she's gone to, I've taken her because I figured if she's going to have the experience, I might as well go with her.
figured if she's gonna have the experience i might as well go with her i mean it's it's not like we
don't have the same taste anyway but the last concert we went to was uh we saw drake and little
wayne in where the hell was that um fort lauderdale so long as my bitches love me those tickets were
expensive as shit and then and then he got bodied by um my freaking k dot and i'm like damn
really but i got one of my favorite hoodies out of that so um yeah that was great it's good to
uh know that you always company a minor to nomine she goes to no she's actually not a minor anymore
so she's 18 and that's more of a reason i try to try to keep away from you weird dgens um
she's uh she she's a she's very beautiful and um don't i don't want you guys freaking around so
that's why i'm like if you're in women's community hang out with me i'll tell you who to talk to i'll
tell you who's not creepy um don't just be out there but you know nobody ever thinks their mom
is cool and hanging out no kind of isn't that Isn't that cool that you're at the front of creating not just a place that's safe for kids to play in abstract streams and gaming, but a place for kids because they will be participating on X, unfortunately, right?
They're going to be exposed to these algos.
But you have an abstract angels community, a group chat.
I have a Camp Cougar.
It's double K, right?
We don't call it the cool Camp Cougar because that's...
Yeah, don't do that, man.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So basically we have Camp Cougar.
Burning lowercase t's in the Discord.
We have Camp Cougar where it's the safe place for all the kids of the parents who play Couga games to play with the kids.
We say, this is when we're streaming what we're streaming.
And only like one out of every 20 streams do we invite the kids to.
We also encourage the kids to doodle and we share their doodles that they post on x like there's a five
year old named davy who doodles his favorite kugas in fortnite in his head and then he'll
share it in the group chat this abstract angels is a specifically important initiative for our
future up-and-coming daughters yeah for I mean, if there's anything
that Web3 has taught me,
and after I say this, I want you to
actually introduce yourself so we can
give people some context for
what we're doing in life here, and then I want to say hi to Luke
because, hi Luke.
But if there's anything that Web3 taught me
is to never underestimate somebody
based on their age
or demographic. I have met so many
brilliant people. And then when, you know, I'm sitting talking to somebody and he's a founder
or a dev and talking about stuff that I'm like, okay, explain it to me in like, like,
like building blocks terms. And then it's like, oh yeah, by the way, he's 16, he's 18. I'm thoroughly
impressed. And I'm like, you know what? I'm so grateful for the industry that we have in Web3
because you really can present and be evaluated based on your talents and what you offer and your
personality and not necessarily your age or demographic and stuff. You really can lead with who you are as a person first. And I think that's a really,
really special thing we have in Web3 and I hope we never lose it. But Kira, I do want you to
like give a quick TLDR intro and then I want to high five Luke because he's over there. His
there, his arms getting tired. Poor guy.
arm's getting tired. Poor guy. All right. I'm going to do this really quick. High five Luke.
All right, I'm going to do this really quick.
High five, Luke.
High five, Luke.
Damn it, he's walking
the dog. All right, Luke, you missed your chance.
Oh, there he is.
Are you in the shower, Luke?
I am, you guys.
I just got in. I just
had to start getting showered up, but
was the first thing that I heard in the space
coogies and lookies and pupies?
Yes.
Yeah, bro.
Nice.
Keep that same energy.
I liked it.
Okay, back to you.
Hey, Luke, keep the water warm.
I'm hopping in.
All right, so, hey, yo.
Oh, no ditty.
Okay. Too long didn't um lather right too long doesn't read uh what is kuga why are we here all right so kuga we build games

I can't hear you.
Thumbs up if it's me that I can't hear you. Oh, shit. I'll be back. Is it me? Is it me? I can hear you. Thumbs up if it's me that I can't hear.
I think.
It's you.
It's you.
It's you, not me, Dyla.
That's weird.
I thought you were just trolling him, Dyla.
Oh, no.
So, yeah, how do we fix that?
Dyla, the way you do it is you log on with an alternate device.
Because I'm the host and I can't hear.
Oh, wait.
Tell her to log on with an alternate device.
Don't give her the hard steps.
You guys can hear me, though, right?
Kirk, can you drop down and then come back?
Maybe that'll work.
Can somebody else talk?
Is anybody else talking?
Can anybody hear me?
Oh, no.
Dyla, we're all talking.
Oh, no.
Are we having a situation?
Oh, shit.
We all have to go.
Okay, somebody go down. Hold on a a second somebody go down and come back up i'll stay up here and keep allowing you to come back up
somebody text diala somebody message her you know the best part about recorded spaces is she gonna
she's gonna hear all our frenetic you know kind of like let like, let's, let's, you know, let's repair the ship.
Hold on.
I'm working on something.
Reload.
But you guys can hear me, the audience, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reload a secondary device.
I just can't hear anybody else.
Secondary device.
What the fuck am I supposed to do about that?
Can you hear me?
That's crazy.
No, she can't hear you.
Dialogue, can you hear me?
No, she can't.
I left and came back.
This is hilarious.
Let's see if I can hop in my other account.
Hey, yo, hold on, hold on.
She has a co-host.
You can leave, and you have to come back within two minutes, and you can come back.
As long as you have a co-host, the host can leave and come back within two minutes.
That's how it works.
I think Diala can hear us.
Stop it.
Sorry, we're experiencing technical
difficulty. I don't know what my problem is.
I know other people are talking, but I can't
hear anything, and that's terrible.
It's like everybody's trying to talk
to each other, and she's just talking to herself
the entire time. So now it's
just getting even more difficult, because Dala's just talking to herself the entire time. So now it's just getting even more difficult because
Diala's just talking to herself.
Kira, why
are my cougars down?
Tell me, why are my cougars down?
Kira, if she can hear you,
have her step down
and then come back up.
Because
we got a good vibe here, but I don't think that
I can hear anybody and that's going to be terrible.
So, guys, give me one second.
I'm going to have to start a new space.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Kiro.
Somebody DM her.
Tell her to just hop down and come back up.
Is that okay?
Device changing.
Wait, I don't know.
Daila, can you hear us?
Tell her.
Okay, I'm going to DM.
Can you hear us? Daila'm gonna DM. Can you hear us?
Daila!
She doesn't have to close it.
Okay.
Daila, can you hear us?
Okay.
Okay, wait.
Someone DM her.
Yeah, why didn't she just jump in her other account?
On the Daila account. I DMed her already, Nancy. Okay, super didn't someone DM her? Yeah, why didn't she just jump in her other account? On the Diala account.
I DMed her already.
Okay, super, super.
I'm listening on my computer, even though I can't hear on here.
Kira left, though.
I think we can do it that way.
Is that cool?
So, close the app.
Great, we can do it that way.
All right, I can hear you if I listen on my computer, and I'm cheating.
No, close the app app and come back.
Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
She doesn't have a co-host now.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
You got to wait for a co-host.
Sorry.
You got to make somebody co-host.
She doesn't?
Yeah.
If you have a co-host, you can leave and come back as the host within two minutes to fix
yourself.
She don't hear you.
She's listening to us through the computer.
Okay, I can hear you guys now
because I have my headphones on.
It was headphones the whole time?
Yeah, but you're delayed, Diala.
You're going to be delayed the entire time.
Diala?
We're going to be talking to her
and she's going to be responding like three seconds later,
four seconds later.
We're so frustrating.
That's okay.
Light it up one more time.
I invited Kuga to co-host.
I can leave.
Yes, but you must invite Kuga as co-host first
just close the app close the app open the app and come back in Nancy Nick for
co-host 2025 where is Kiro Kiro's you're the better co-host.
Okay.
How are the angels?

Tea? Like T-E-A? Like gossip?
No, something else.
I really was, I really was, like, out-clenched up for that last tea, I'm not gonna lie to you.
That was an intense moment right there um trading i don't even i don't even know i don't even know what we're talking about at this point

The battlefield is wild.
We need proof of bash.

Okay, okay.
No, Rain.
Co-op, right?
Co-op with Samir.
I know you stream daily, weekly.
Co-op with Samir, and he'll show you the ropes, girl.
Have no fear, Samir's here.
I thought he was no more there.
He took the holiday, the religious holiday, and he recognized it.
And he was a good boy.
But we're back.
We're violent.
We're fighting.
We're taking quarter two by the bolster horns.
So are we back now, officially, generally?
We all are back.
Yes, we're still back.
Don't jinx it.
You can't say it out loud yet.
Great, there go my fucking bags.
So, Dyla, now that we got the Cougar business out the way.
Yes.
Did we?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, okay, we spent 20 minutes of skill issues.
And then we spent six minutes talking about
Rain's skill issues.
So I'm just gonna rename the space
Skill Issues with Cougaverse.
I like this.
I co-sign this.
But in all due respect, I'm in LA, I'm hungry, right?
This is the third space I do today,
and I have a space after this.
I'm here, not just to talk about Kuga,
but to talk, you know, with Shameless,
with Hungry DJs, with Luke, with Nancy,
with Mint, with Rain, with Nico, with Junade.
I'm here to talk with my founder, G-Pot, in the audience.
Holy shit, he's up.
What am I doing?
So, so Kuga, we're a Southeast Asia-based indie game studio bringing Web3 IP...
I'm just fucking with you guys.
Imagine if I went into my script.
G-Paw, get up here, bro.
We're a half hour in.
We're doing this now?
Okay.
G-Paw, get up here, bro.
G-Paw's a father of two Kug kugas i'm gonna pin to the top uh
dilara if you're having skill issues don't worry g-pa's seven-year-old daughter can co-op play with
you she beat the bolster with her dad in bed pin to the top kuga is for everyone kuga is for the
kids kuga is for the parents and kuga is for the parents, and Kuga's for the parents of the parents.
G-Pa, meet Daila.
Daila, meet G-Pa.
Hi, G-Pa, nice to meet you.
Hi, Daila, nice to meet you too.
I apologize for any craziness.
I don't know how long you've been here.
But I'm also sorry and not sorry,
because this is pretty much what you should have expected
So yeah
Tell me about Kugaverse
This is the first time we're talking
Tell me about you and what you're doing in Web3
And Kugaverse
Yeah so
I'm Jipo
I'm a founder of Kugaverse
I would say Kuga is I'm Jipo. I'm a founder of Gugaverse.
I would say Guga is... How can I say?
We started this project by releasing an articulation in Ethereum in 2023,
and now we evolved into something else.
We turned into a community.
We turned into a game business.
And this year, we evolved more into an ecosystem thing.
So it's more than projects.
Now we're positioning ourselves as a cult.
And me here as the cult leader.
But yeah, so this space is not kind of like the serious space that uh that i was before right
hero uh daila so okay uh fun fun advice gpot whenever you see the abstract angel wingtips
eyelashes you you take your okay i was gonna say you take your pants off but no no no no no
you untuck your shirt how how did you have the most unserious human being there is on Web 3.
I try, man.
I try sometimes, but it's going to be hidden.
How do you even know that I'm wearing pants right now?
That's what I'm saying.
I'm not wearing pants right now.
I took them off as soon as the space with ice and unvungible ended, bro.
Come on, bro.
Remember, Kuga never wearing pants.
Okay, so Dyla, one thing that G-Pa left off in his professional introduction
is we have a lot of drama in Kuga.
I mean, we call it, what do we call it, G-Pa?
We call it K-drama.
It's not Korean drama, but it's Kuga drama.
Kuga drama.
Rain can tell you a lot of K-drama, right? And rain rain can tell you a lot of kdrama right and
shameless can tell you a lot of kdrama and it's just something that happens when you've been here
this long and you have a founder like gpa who's a who's a top tier elite troll you have a community
manager who he hired by accident right right? Like, this is what happens, Dyla.
By accident, do you mean that as a community manager you said, I'm just doing this and also you're holding hostage?
You know what? I'm seeing a pattern.
I think we talked about this yesterday.
I'm seeing your method.
I'm not against it.
That's a very, like, base, degen way.
I think you should just kind of, like, muscle your way into projects and be like, I'm a bee in this bitch.
You might as well make me part of the team because if not, I'm just going to drive you insane.
Reach for the stars, man.
For sure.
But that is awesome.
I love a community that, like, people are actually having fun with each other. I feel like that's kind of bear market proof. You can't really you can't really rely on number go up number go down for a community. So you might as well develop personality, have inside jokes, have your K drama, do things where it's just like these are people I'm connecting with while I'm building. I want to have fun on the ride to the top.
So let me hang with these people.
So when did you guys found your project originally?
Deepa, take it away.
Yeah, so we started a project in 2022,
and we launched our anesthetic relation in 2023
so so far like we are now in the third years and and yeah like we had like more than three or four
arc on our k-drama involving uh different people different community member members. But yeah, we're pretty much having fun.
We're pretty much having fun and we are still here.
I mean, we had a project before,
like also minted out and relays in the same time with us.
But then there are they right now.
Like where are they right now we are
still here gpod taking shots gpod saying where are you now you know and we mean the hell out of
everybody with love right and we have those community members at the time like gpod he took
that personal right jordan meme he took that personal we had community members just just just just liquidate
their kugas and jump adjacent to the competitor and then they got wrecked and then gpa's here
like celebrating like look at you now look at me now but anyway so we mean it wait wait wait
wait who is our competitor yeah exactly they're gone g paul's like point them out
i never sold guys i never sold i think i'm the only kuga member who never sold any kuga
approve that please and i'm sure i'm the only one who never sold clip that but you never beat the bolster so i mean get good get good girl i know no so dyla i just wanted to say all right you seem like the geeky girl right you seem like
you know what's hot um have you watched guardians of the galaxy yeah absolutely great that's us
right i love that we don't belong in the Avengers.
We don't... We're not qualified to save the fucking galaxy.
We're here building Web3 games.
Gipa, fun fact, he's a professor of game development in Indonesia.
His pupils, when they graduate...
When his pupils graduate, he says, you have a job with Kuga.
We're fucking homegrown.
You get it now.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Incubating your own staff.
I kind of rock with that.
There's something kind of maniacal about it.
I can't put my finger on it, but it's cool.
Hey, man, give me an opportunity to get a job with my degree
that I studied for in the field I studied for out the school campus.
I'm there.
Indonesia is getting, lives are changing because of G-POD.
Lives are changing because of KUGA.
I mean, that's kind of like the magic of Web3, right?
You can actually create these, like, communities, but there's something, I mean, having a student and, the magic of Web3, right? You can actually create these like communities.
But there's something, I mean, having a student and like actually getting to know them and that being like the way that you can kind of be like, yeah, you know what?
Why don't you come work for my project?
That's an advantage a lot of Web3.
I'd say 99% of Web3 builders do not have actually getting to know who their team is as people before they
get to build with them. I feel like in Web3, like, I mean, there's people that we know for years,
it's really hard to kind of like build out that network. And when you're like, okay, yeah, I can
work with these people because we've been friends for a while, but being able to kind of like work
with them in person and get to know their personalities and be like yeah this is somebody i can trust with some valuable information to not uh you know fuck up my my
baby here um that's pretty that's pretty boss damn gpa excuse me for not being familiar with your
game gpa i've been speak on it g your your mic shouldn't be muted for the next 25 minutes, G-Paw.
Leave it unmuted, bro.
Come on, bro.
I have to work while I also need to join this space.
Like, this is my second space.
I believe this is, like, third space of you, Kiro.
Yeah, we got one more after this.
Bro, I need that ASMR.
I need the babies crying, you know just i just need you unmuted for the
that's all i want no no bro i i'm in a very very silent space right now i'm in an office
i mean like i have a my own office in my house um but but yeah i'm in a very very calm and very very
productive situation so so i i'll keep my my my you lock in g paul we could just be your
background noise i'm cool with that yeah yeah this i mean like listening hero speaking is my
ismr so i'll enjoy the space by the way so your blood pressure is high i'm sorry
hero's been like on a on a tear lately. I mean, we were just on a space about community earlier.
And I feel like that's kind of the prevalent theme in what you're getting involved in.
Is this kind of your way of kind of getting through the FUD BS that's all over the timeline?
Because charts are bloody.
Everybody's bearish.
Honestly, the space is shrinking by the
second i feel like vibe preservation is like top priority right now and it seems like you're going
hard in that lately well we never changed right the way we fight is the way we fight bull or bear
you know we're always going to show up every day there There's days, Dyla, when I'm talking to myself in the Kuga chat, I'm dropping new trailers.
Tron Aries trailer just dropped the new trailer for the Thunderbolts.
I'm dropping new AI trends.
I'm just throwing matches into the gas can and magic.
Sometimes it hooks and like you said, market's going to market.
But we're here to play.
We're here to consume good, what a ton of be alive, good art, good movies, good television. And when we pop off, when Kuga tears 0.1 plus again,
then we get all these new faces who are looking not just to make money, but a place that they can
attach themselves to. A lot of us grew up playing team sports, okay? A lot of us grew up with brothers and sisters and friend groups.
As you get older, you realize you isolate yourself because life is hard.
Life requires you to lock in and nourish your babies, nourish your job.
And you lose that sense of team.
You lose that sense of friend group and
community sometimes, especially post pandemic. So web three is this place where you can be a part
of a team, you can move as a unit, you can play games like cap and co yesterday on abstract,
earn XP earn badges together. So you don't feel guilty about playing on a monday games and you're building a safe place
for those people to come and go as they please i mentioned yesterday and today we have kuga holders
that attempt to leave the group chat attempt to leave the discord and i chase them down i'm like
hey when you're ready to come back come back in the meantime you're back leave again if you really
want to leave but stay you don't need a token to be family and play teach us what you move to next we have a guy who taught us all
about hyper liquid i got my hypios at 0.2 i was late but still on time 1.3 right now you know we
have a guy on ape chain named shameless who's up here with a one of one f you right um uh he he left kuga while we were uh full fronting into abstract to to experiment
with ape coin i now own like 10 hop stars which i minted for like two ape and now they're like 200 ape like guys like
shameless who leave bro you didn't admit them for two eight yeah yeah well i had a whitelist
um for two were they two ape or 28th the way they were two eight they were but how much were they
stay poor stay poor luke so what i'm saying is um they're 200 eth i'll i'll otc you bro that's how
much they are um they have kuga jackets as well so that shout out to prince and the hop stars um so
shameless is an example of a guy who left and brought knowledge right when you just think about
the opportunities in web 3 and you pigeonhole yourself to Ethereum,
you pigeonhole yourself to Kuga, you pigeonhole yourself to Abstract,
you lose sight of all the wealth, literal wealth, that is live and in play.
And those DGens who are there in the trenches to risk it all,
come, teach me your ways, and we'll move forward and win together we'll play together
and we'll just touch base you know no nfts no games no trenches just how the fuck are you
how's your kids do you need anything you know let's stream our biryani on a t. Let's stream our tacos. Let's just hang out. The reason why I get really in this
rant, okay? We had a guy named Mess who used to go to the store on Discord stream with Rain Dallara
with all our boys, and he loved to eat lunch with us from singapore he's no longer with us he was
younger than me he was twice as tall as me i met him in real life he's now forever on blockchain
in kuga bash he has forever will own a legendary kuga and those spaces were not recorded but he
would do music spaces where he he learned how to speak
english through vinyl records through wu-tang through hip-hop and he would play his favorite
music on spaces and no matter what i would show up for him even i would even dm him say i'm literally
not home i'm gonna accept your co-host i'm gonna blast in all the group chats play your
music find your voice that voice is now gone it was short-lived but it was a voice that will
remain with us forever in kuga so kuga is that home kuga is that family and uh yeah you're welcome
to come in anytime honestly Honestly, that's incredible.
I wanted to ask because, really, you have this deep passion and your vibe.
It's never a bad time hanging out with you in a space.
I didn't have to worry about, oh my gosh, how's the space going to go?
What questions do I ask to keep it going?
I was like, this is going to be great.
It's going to be easy.
Honestly, it's chaotic for a second, but it's still awesome.
And, and I was kind of curious, like even doing that, I'm like, then what really pushes this,
this drive and passion? Because you can't fake when you're really about community. You can't
fake when you really love your community and want to build something special. You can tell when somebody's up here and just marketing the shit out of it or just shilling for their bag or whatever.
But like it's really obvious that your drive for community comes from a different place.
And like seeing that personal connection and seeing that acknowledgement of a um, a community member who left such an
impression is, is really phenomenal. And, um, yeah, it's kind of, I'm kind of speechless about
it. It's really, really awesome. And I appreciate the fact that you still use that as motivation
and how you grow and kind of like, not for nothing, like memorialize him by, you know, doing things on him, by like
growing the community and still treating people with that kind of like acceptance and respect.
I've said it a few times, but I don't care who you are or what you do in Web3.
There's a reason you're in Web3 and it's not just for your bag. You can say that you're a
degen just in the trenches. You can say that you're a degen just in the trenches.
You can say that you're just here, you know, to, to cash in and get out, but anybody can do that
in web two. Um, if you're staying in web three, there's, there's a certain part of you. That's
like, there's something I want to connect with that's special. And everybody connects with web
three in a different way and finds their own path. But ultimately, it's the projects that are finding
a way to kind of like harness that and say, you know, we want to be real people to this community.
We want to value, we want to give somebody something more than just, you know, number go up.
Like you can, that's what lasts in Web 3. And that's how you have a project like Kuga that lasts years and years because that's not the norm in Web3 at all especially to have people in like in spaces and talking so
excited about it um there's my wallet is littered with projects that you came through with heavy
vibes and kind of fizzled out because the minute number went down,
you know, the community fudded the shit out of it, or, you know, people start commenting. And then,
you know, the founders are like, you know what, this didn't work out. Let's move on to something else. They don't just lock in and say, you know what, fine, we're still here. And you know what,
we're just going to kind of meme and troll those who were, you know, fading us before and show them that we're still going to
hang out. And that's, that's really kind of the dream in web three. So I genuinely appreciate the
vibe that you bring. And I don't think that there's a more important time in web three to do it than
now. It's super invaluable to have people who really understand what, what web three really,
really is about. And it genuinely is about that human connection so
shit good on you guys honestly like that's that's that's pretty awesome now dial up thank you for
that it's on wax recorded space no matter how hard the challenges we face right now i promised you
before that we will not give up the fight and you will be fighting alongside us
mess and let me honor you immortalize you in kuga bash the first game you played live in gamescom
asia singapore when we met the first time sending my prayers to you brother mess the doctor of the kuga verse
forever pin to the top so come come meet mess in our games bros come come play but uh rain
i know rain remember we would eat biryani with mess yeah i'm i'm really like I'm really emotional you know I don't even
want to think about just things you know it kind of make me really sad so I try
to not actually think about that yeah what should I say I hope he's in a
better place right now and I'm so sad that because i had to talk of i want to text him and
ask him how he is and i didn't ask because he was quite since a while and i was like really
curious where he is and then hearing the message made me feel worse and but yeah i didn't even know
that he had heart issues so i can tell you this, right?
He was twice as tall as me, so he had twice as big as a heart.
So he had to work twice as fast.
And I can tell you this.
He worked twice as fast in making us fall in love with him
and making us see that we can have so much to live for.
He, you know, would show up, make us laugh.
Hilarious motherfucker. um that's something we carry
with us just like vision in in wandavision said you know what was it he said he said sad
sadness is only see he said something well insert vision's quote here um you know because he he he shared a part of him just like all good things we share
we're just here for a long time but we will pass through right me on spaces this is temporary as
i've been doing it for three years but i will move on whether i like it or not from are you talking about the line where he says what
if grief and if not love persevering there it is thank you Daila what is grief if love if not love
persevering so as we move in our lives right and we we we pass on our legacy right our games will be played by our children as you can see pinned to the top g
pause kids inspiring them in a world you know that is very scary you can be brave you can venture
with a friend into our you know quirky jungle our abster arctic abstract and you can play and have an experience, which all of us grew
up playing games, watching Saturday morning cartoons. This is the stuff of dreams is to
create worlds that we ourselves, our inner childs could play and experience. So as we pass through, we pass that on.
And that's why I am so happy to build a fucking video game with G-Paw.
Because I have a whole film career I do in real life.
I get extremely anxious.
I disassociate.
I am introverted as fuck, but here I am in a safe place to just talk and not have to worry about people looking at me and not have to worry about, you know, the high stakes clients I work with.
It's a fun release.
It's a fun hobby.
It's a fun side quest, but it's a place where I literally connect because I don't connect with people in real life. So this, this is why I'm here, right? And this is why G-Paw
has, um, a good opportunity to, to build privately and then bring those fruits of his labor
to a group that's ready to eat.
I friggin love that.
I love that about what you guys are building.
And I have to check out the game.
We're going to have to like sit on like maybe we'll do a different space where you walk me through how to start and how to play.
Because you heard me yesterday learning Captain Co.
There's a bit of a learning curve.
Once I get it, I'm in there and I'm murking my fuckers.
I'm just in there to win.
But sometimes it takes things a second for me to click
and it's always easier to just kind of like
be talking to people.
So maybe that's another space we can have together
where we're just kind of going through
and then anybody who's curious
can kind of go through it
with us and they don't have to feel like they're asking dumb questions or um because i'll go ahead
and ask the dumb questions for them um it just be like that sometimes um i wanted to take a second
and say hi to hungry djen because they've been hanging out down there and i don't ever get to say hi to them. So hi, D-Gen. How are you doing? Yo, what's good?
What's up?
Good to be here.
I'm good. I'm good. I'm just chilling.
You know, something that Kuga just said really resonated with me, right?
Like coming on the spaces and just being able to connect with people, right? Like 90% of the time,
I'm just like in my fucking room, like locked in alone, you know, like, like, it gets, you know,
like these spaces are just a good place to just connect with people and make friends.
You know, every once in a blue moon, there's events and stuff going on
and I get to see my friends again.
And then, you know, after those few days
of a bunch of events,
it's like back to just like locking in
and just like, you know, just going outside to eat.
So, yeah, much respect to all the builders out there
and everyone who's just, you know, and it's really touching, like what you said about your friend that you lost.
You know, I'm really, really sorry that that happened, but I really like what you said.
But, yeah, I'm happy to be here.
It's always, this has been a fun space.
Like, you know know i haven't
been talking it's it's just been chaotic and i love it i'm not gonna lie bro as soon as i hang
up i'm gonna okay heads or tails i'm gonna flip a coin do i shower and listen to this space or do
i go eat sit in a corner far from everyone because I didn't shower and listen to this face.
Shower.
Why don't you just eat in the shower, bro?
It's up to the coin.
It's up to the coin, bro.
Just eat in the shower.
Eat in the shower.
You know I have tequila bottles in the shower. I didn't drink them.
Okay?
Okay, well that's a cry for help
you have a wall amazonas in his shower his shower is so big hey yo okay okay okay i'm glad you said
that last line well i've never even seen his shower somebody might think that you've seen
my shower and then that's a whole can of kuga all right so abstract i think it's a good place to
end it here before anybody listens to this recording wait wait wait where in the shower
shower is the tequila bottle is it like in the niche like what the fuck why do you have tequila
in the shower it's next to the head and shoulders bro okay i have a bottle of champagne and a bottle of tequila in the shower um just okay men always have a bottle of champagne a bottle of tequila and a what
and a candle in your bedroom just trust me bro
cougar is live wait wait is that yo are you in the video talking to the cute asian girl
while she plays the cougar game? Yes.
Oh, dude, I remember you.
Yeah, you were with the Coutarro dude.
You were Coutarro back in the day.
That's why my name is Kiro.
Morning.
My name is Coutarro Hero.
Then I got hired by Cougar.
Your pinned post, your face is covered.
Yeah, yeah.
I came to Cougar to build the Kitaro game, and then
they stole me from Kitaro, and then I
changed my name from Kitaro Hero to Kiro.
And then you stole everybody
from Kitaro. And then I brought everybody from Kitaro.
We love Kuga.
Where's Kuga based?
You said you're in
Kuga's in Southeast Asia, right? In Kiro's
shower. In Kiro's shower.
Yeah,
G-Paw's home of, uh, literal home is Kuga Labs in, uh, Indonesia.
Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm out here in Thailand, so, so I'm pretty close.
No way, bro. Okay. When I go back soon, um, we'll link up, bro, and show me where to eat
because I eat at all the wrong places
hell yeah bro i can take you to some good spots uh here in bangkok actually like last week we
went on the pudgy penguin tuk tuk food tour and uh and we were riding around with with the team
there and um like every place that we stopped i like marked on my map because they were taking us to all these like hidden gym, like Michelin star street food places.
Dude, so good.
Bro, I saw the video.
They dropped it yesterday, bro.
Yeah, I'm in the video, bro.
We were in the group with the film crew.
We were in the organizer group.
So, yeah, I'm in the video.
Yeah, pin it up top and then time stamp us yeah let
me see that bro let me see that but can you even go wrong eating food in asia
yeah you can um one if you don't got an iron stomach, you're fucked. One word. I have such FOMO for the Abstract Asia community.
You have no freaking idea.
I wish.
You guys do all kinds of fun stuff.
There's a bunch of you over there.
I'm just over here.
I'm not going to lie.
I've met all the Abstract Asia team and the Pudgy team over here in Asia.
And they're such great people.
And they throw such great events.
I'm a hater.
I'm a hater.
Don't hate it.
Because I'm not getting known.
Don't hate it.
Just come to Bangkok.
They're awesome.
And actually working with Brian and stuff like that.
And just seeing how excited he is with everything developing.
Because I've said it a million times.
Like, the abstract team really just feels like an extension of the community.
And we get so excited to see things, like, develop and people enjoy the events.
But, yeah.
Sometimes I want to trade, like, Place with Brian for a day.
So I can enjoy all the cool abstract Asian stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I met. Sorry.
Go ahead.
I met Brian on Hong Kong during Consensus.
And then this past weekend in Bangkok, we went out a few times with him.
And I got to sit and talk with him for a while about abstract.
And it was just really good insights, right?
Yeah. I mean, the more I just talk to people about abstract
and kind of on the back end, the more bullish I get.
I pinned it to the top.
Exploring the streets of Bangkok with Pingu,
timestamp me, bro.
I got you, I got you.
Bro, we gotta. Let's come.
Okay.
This is reported,
but whatever.
Let's,
let's peer pressure abstract to send me to Asia.
So I could check stuff out.
I want to hang out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
so 13 seconds,
I'm in the tuk-tuk waving at the camera and,
and then at like 26 seconds i'm holding the chopsticks just like
just loving the food you're the girl with the red hair
no no no i'm sitting i'm with the i'm sitting next to the girl
you didn't eat anything alive did you you? No, no, no.
Because sometimes that's actually a thing.
They give you live things.
It's crazy.
No, not on this tour. We had some Michelin star pad thai.
We had some egg noodle dish that was really good.
Some egg noodle chicken dish.
We went over to Chinatown and had some
desserts um yeah nothing live this time but but yeah you are right sometimes yeah no crazy street
here trust me i don't trust like they they will take you somewhere just so they could see you eat
something live like it's it's i don't trust them no i have friends that will do that to me. I will do that.
I will eat alive.
Bro, you know what's crazy?
Eating raw shrimp.
The people from the U.S.
here will probably
understand.
If you eat raw shrimp in the U.S.,
I think most people maybe die.
But here
it's so common.
Raw shrimp or even
sometimes raw pork.
It's crazy.
How is it possible to eat raw pork?
Raw pork and shrimp?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you just biting the pork?
Or like...
I don't know.
I think raw pork is more something more in the northeastern region, like in Isan.
But I've definitely heard about it.
But raw shrimp, Thai people eat it all the time.
And I pass on it every time.
I think I might die.
So one place I'll never go to is China.
But let me tell you something.
In China, they'll kill the pig
right before you get it.
They're sitting there with a flamethrower
on the thing.
Bro, China's awesome.
A flamethrower?
That's wild.
Say it with your chest, G-Pa.
I'm training him to be American.
G-Pa, say it with your chest.
I like G-Pa. chest no i mean like eating rost
shrimp is something normal here in asia i mean like i wonder why it's something weird in there
and then i don't think our stomachs can handle it bro i mean i have a seafood allergy but
rost shrimp is something i mean like we make it satai we make we we put out on
the stick and i mean like it's pretty normal here and there's so many chemicals and preservatives
here we can barely get the bread so our ocean is trash girl our ocean have you seen what's in our
oceans girl but but but yeah yeah like i also like i was i was visiting visiting Bangkok as well.
The previous Southeast Asia blockchain we did in 2024.
And then the event is on a place in a mall.
And then I found a food court there.
And they serve, you know what I see there?
They serve roasted crocodiles.
Oh, yeah, that's I can't see them, bro.
The crazy food court.
They have like every region of Thailand, right?
It's like rivers and shit going through it.
Yeah, I mean, like, come on.
People eating this animal?
So I just can't accept that.
It's like beef jerky.
And Trenches, I saw your hand up.
Trenches, were you hungry like me?
Yeah, I'm currently on my lunchtime.
So yeah, I'm just going to make it good.
First, I want to say bullish and abstract bullish and
hungry regions because i'm from the hungry region community um as my other chef said
the spaces are really the kind of build with each other you know i'm still learning as well because
i'm kind of new to the space and all that and I'm glad I got to
witness abstract, hungry DGIMS and a lot more good projects as well because the community is
lit for sure and you know I see good things really really great things I would like to get some alpha on the abstract
but I haven't heard
I got some alpha
for you alright so Jaila
really quick are you at your computer right now girl
I can be hold on a second
alright what was your
XP when you logged on today
XP just dropped an hour
ago boys
XP update talk to me girl
i didn't you know what hold on let me see because i didn't do too
much on the platform itself last week because i was doing like i have 10k Tell me bronze, silver, gold, platinum.
I got 19...
19K.
19, 590.
I'm really digging doing this, kids.
And I just
got gold here
last week,
I got gold
on Fool's
Gold Day.
Isn't that
cute?
Ooh,
double gold.
I can honestly
proudly say
I've done
more abstract
activity this
week than
any other
week.
I just
was sweeping dilly floors yesterday
for those goblin dmv um driver's license for their uh really hard driving game i'm very excited i've
been uh playing with thank you abstract god chingu newt abster um i bought a couple bearish Cingu, Newt, Abster.
I bought a couple bearish in the dip.
This week was active because of the dips, right?
I was going all in.
Buying bearish, Kabu.
I haven't sniped my forever canon sapien yet or my forever Ryu yet.
But when I tell you this week was active, I was getting it in on Abstract.
Of course, playing.
Oh yeah, I have my on-chain hero on Abstract.
Can't wait for season two.
That's the alpha.
Yeah, and there may be a new mystery box game coming to Abstract where you can earn XP as well.
Very soon.
Can we talk about actually Frankie's Dinner?
Will they have a second game now?
Because I saw the form and then I print it.
But what's going on there?
The nibbles are coming.
Follow.
There are coming so much stuff on Abstract, actually.
I can actually no more follow anything because it's so much in such a short time.
It's crazy.
I never saw that in any other change chain like going so hardcore like an
abstract you know a little a little alpha for what's going on the back end there is so much
that's launching and so many things that are happening that we're literally scheduling extra
meetings to make sure we keep ourselves in the loop and um because there's so much going on the ecosystem, it's the best kind of problem to have.
You see, again, the charts are bloody right now. The sentiment for the space is at an all-time low
and we are so busy trying to keep up with all the things that are launching and going on and
great things are going on in Abstract that it's, from a personal perspective,
it's what's keeping me personally going in Web3 and gives me hope for, like, what we're building
for the future. Like, I can't bullshit to save my life. I really can't. When I say I'm glad that I'm
part of Abstract, I'd be doing this probably if I wasn't even on the team because it's the only
place in Web3 where it just feels like, wow, there's light at the end of the tunnel. This is what we've been building for. We've
talked about, you know, in 21, we were like, you know, when the mainstream would see our IP and
recognize the art and we'll have games and things like that. And this feels like one of the only
places that's actually happening in Web3. So yeah, when our one of our biggest problems is hey we gotta schedule more meetings
to keep each other in the loop because there's so much going on that's not exactly the worst
problem to have um go ahead kuga and then luke really quick uh just before i forget
everybody asks what are we building for in web 3 but rarely we ask who are we building for in web 3 and just like
you mentioned dyla your kids are your barometer for what ips you buy i'm sure they love the fugs
i'm sure they love kuga especially playing our games so when you as a developer come to Abstract, when Luca as a founder is shopping
around for new partners, it's all about who is the audience for the products you're building.
And that's why Abstract is the Disney Plus, the Netflix, the Twitch, the kick, the YouTube of Web3, right?
Consumer apps with crypto guardrails.
This is why Kuga is building on Abstract, because we focus on the kids.
We focus on the future.
We know we're the next Pikachu, the next Mario, the next Sonic.
We're Kuga.
That was a bar.
That was an absolute.
Go ahead, Luke.
High five, Luke.
Yes, high five.
I needed that.
I was just going to say, I forget who it was, but whoever asked about Alpha for Abstract,
I mean, just go to abs.xyz, use relay.link and send $20 of the right ETH on Abstract
to that wallet, and then go play with some stuff.
Just don't, I don't know, I guess it depends on what you're doing.
Don't go gamble it all the way.
Like, use the $20 for any little gas things that you might have.
I don't know. I think you use gas very marginally for things, but that's all I would do.
I don't know. I just have a bunch of NFTs. I trade some tokens on Abstract.
I haven't bought and sold any NFTs in the last week, and then I play Roach Racing once a day,
and I always throw up a streamer, and I'll throw them a little bit of pingu and or just like leave some comments and keep the stream open on
one of my tabs while I'm home or even while I just walk my dog's prison SPF stream is on if my
computer didn't go to sleep which it probably did but I got like 32,000 xp for this last week
which is a little higher than the last few but I think there was a week where I got like 32,000 XP for this last week, which is a little higher than the last few.
But I think there was a week where I got 40.
And I'm like, I'm through, I'm on my way to whatever the million mark is.
Or what is it?
A million?
Is it platinum?
A million?
But I don't really do too much.
It's not like I've been streaming or grinding.
For me personally, I just hold a lot of NFTs on abstract.
Like I have a lot of bears and hot dogs and some can of sapiens and kabus.
Can I say something about XP?
And then I want to hand the mic off to, um, to trenches ghost.
I, I really don't focus on, oh my gosh, I have to get a certain amount of XP.
Like I know that I'm active on the platform.
I'm at gold, but if I, if I don't get to like, you know, platinum, I'm at gold. But if I don't get to platinum, I'm not going to be like,
oh my gosh, I don't compare my XP to other people. I get excited when other people hit high XP goals,
don't get me wrong. But for myself, it's not something where I'm like, oh shit, how much did
I earn this week? Because I found that one, I earn way more XP when I'm like, oh shit, how much did I earn this week? Because I found that, one, I earn way more XP
when I'm just focused on having fun on the platform,
when I'm just like, okay, no, you know what?
This game is something that we have going on.
Let me invest some time to actually learn about it, play it.
Doing things like playing Captain Nicole,
I didn't get the badge yesterday.
I still had a blast and think it was worth my effort
to be like, let me learn this on a space with my friends, hang out, have a good time.
So XP is great.
You know, having a bonus reward to do something is phenomenal.
But ultimately, I want to invest in just knowing what it's like to have fun on the platform.
And I highly recommend you just go on the platform and have frigging fun.
The XP will come, right? If you're participating in the ecosystem, it will come. But if you're
focused just on the number, that's the quickest way to kind of get yourself down and sad. If
you're comparing XP and using that as like a barometer of who's more based or not, that's
not fair either because that doesn't take into, that's not measuring us
being in spaces. That's not us hanging out in discords. That's not us, you know,
memeing each other and keeping each other entertained in the timeline. There's so much
more that measures you as a valuable community member that XP. Just see it as the bonus,
you know? It's just a cherry on top of what you're already building to have fun. And as a community member here, um, just my two cents,
not funding anybody's XP. I hope you all get platinum. I hope you all, you know,
get every single badge and are awesome. But for me, um, yeah,
I'm too marshmallow brain. I just want to have fun. Um, go on trenches.
Yeah. Um, I agree as well.
Just put in the work and the exp will come it doesn't make sense you watch
it because your mind gonna constantly hunt but about abstract um i feel like what they're doing
now that should have been done by the salon and chain and that proves how advanced abstract is because
when it's when when the real thing coming like for the token to launch and everything
it will get a massive boost because it's already been you know spread for a short time, after it has been launched,
it's been going great.
And I think it can
surprise a lot more
OGs in the crypto world.
And the community is great.
I mean, honestly, the community is great.
We're here, right?
These are the coolest people in the ecosystem. I'm biased, but I'm right. So the biggest alpha
you can have on abstract, you know, speaking as somebody from the team, invest in a good community,
invest your attention into the community, get into a group chat with people that
you vibe with you will always get the most information and probably the most bullish
calls and early takes by people who you invest your personal attention to and who want to see
you succeed and are vibing with you if you're just showing up in like spaces and think that's enough
to like get the alpha or you know like um try to get in on early on something. You're not.
By the time it's in spaces, it's kind of like everybody's been having like little side
conversations about it.
So make some friends, connect with some people and let that be your guide and barometer for
what's popping off in the ecosystem.
Conversely, right now is a huge, there's a huge focus for, for scams.
Like, you know, we've seen a couple rug
tokens. There are some email scams going around the, the more abstract shines, especially right
now with the rest of the ecosystem kind of floundering, the more we're targets for scams,
the biggest hedge of protection that you can build is your network and the people around you
being in chats. I've seen more often than not in chats,
people saying, hey, this is a rug.
Hey, this is a scam.
Nobody click on this or whatever.
We all remember what happened
when that Abstract Rocks project launched
and the founder had a total crash out
because nobody meant it
because everybody knew it was a frigging rug.
To me, honestly, that was the best frigging day
on the internet I've had in a long time.
I was so happy to see him crash the hell out.
Because everybody was like, no, this isn't D-Y-O-R, but it's not verified by the team.
The team takes it really seriously.
Luka himself takes it super seriously.
He literally is in the team chats and saying, hey guys, what's going on with this?
Hey, how can we protect the community? And you're not going to see that kind of stuff just by scrolling what's on the
timeline. So again, one more reason why community is so important, why people who are building
community with integrity and who actually care about their communities really matter. Because
if you don't have that, you're really just setting yourself up to be somebody else's exit liquidity.
So yeah, connect with some awesome people.
There's plenty in this group chat.
And we do have,
we have that abstract angel chat.
Angel HQ is strictly for women.
Again, this is like, you know,
the women's community
and we want to elevate women
and create, you know,
places where they can connect.
But we also
have a a co-ed chat as well so we have angel city which everybody is welcoming if you're not in angel
city and you want to be just let me know i'm gonna add you easy squeezy yeah yeah about
about community um yeah community is the best is the really best because if it wasn't for one time,
which was funded by MasterChef,
I wouldn't keep it here right now.
That's the first project I engaged with when I first started crypto.
So, yeah, I'm really grateful.
That's awesome. Yeah, and after this, I'm really grateful. That's awesome.
Yeah.
And after this, I'm going to go ahead and close the space because we've over anyway.
But I like talking and hanging out with you guys.
So whatever.
I think everybody in the space at this point, you've been here a while, you can point to one person that you can say, this is the person who really, like, got me connected to this space.
This is a person who made me feel like I belonged.
The most valuable thing you can do in the ecosystem and for yourself is be that to somebody
else.
It really doesn't take effort.
It's so much easier to just be welcoming and be a cool person than to try to, you know,
build out a network or build clout or anything.
The clout evaporates. You know, the clout is cyclical,
whoever was cool last cycle is not cool today.
So just be somebody who's happy to tell somebody
the good things that are happening in the ecosystem.
If there's somebody asking a question in a chat
and you happen to know the answer,
it's okay to reach out to them
just as another person in the ecosystem. Be like, hey, I know a little bit about this. Here's some information.
And that can be it. But these are the kind of things that really strengthen our community and
let us keep people here for the right reasons. Because otherwise, those new people are just
going to come. They're going to try to like, you know, come for one thing. They're like, okay, I can make a bag and then be out.
So we have a really special opportunity to be able to build the community, especially the abstract community, however we want.
It's so small.
It's so new that if you're in this space, you literally are part of the foundation of what the abstract community is going to be like from here to whenever.
Take advantage of it.
Be a good part of it.
Be somebody who's like, this is part of my lore.
Starting the abstract community is part of my lore.
And yeah, it'll make your time here way more worthwhile.
And then you don't have to crash out about shitty charts.
And that's cool.
Go ahead, Kuga.
I'm going to let you say some things before we close up, because I think you need a shower
and to eat, right?
Daila, I already took care of that.
I showered and drank tequila, so I'm good now.
But no, I'm just kidding.
Mince, I saw your hand up.
Mince, you need to bless us.
Please. Hey, Mince. I'm engagement for her. I mean, you need to bless us. Hey, Mince.
I'm engagement farming.
If you could not interrupt me, please.
I think I was high-fiving Luke, honestly, because everybody was like,
high-five, Luke.
So I put my hand up real quick for a high-five.
But I did want to ask, since you brought me up here and now I'm on the spot.
Yesterday, I believe I heard Kiro luke say that they were abstract angels um
and not not in the uh the co-ed community but that they were actual angels and so i wanted you to to
confirm or deny this rumor and then uh and then also tell me how i can get in that little gc because
i love all the abstract angels i don't think i've met one that I didn't just want to take home to mom.
Oh, Angel City.
And you said there's a code chat.
The guys are honorary angels, but they are not in HQ.
Why?
Because I'll shank any dudes in there.
I am very protective of the angels in the chat.
And, you know, the dudes are cool.
But, you know, it's like it's like the girl's bathroom at
the club you know you don't want no dudes up in there yeah i know what goes on in the girl's
bathroom at the club yeah that's where you see some girl and she's crying and you're like dump
him your hair looks great that's what i want the chat to be so um who hurt me now who hurt you
i'm just saying that's how you there's always some girl crying at the club right
and i always end up being the girls like oh i feel bad for her let me go tell her her hair
looks nice no crying in the casino that's what i'm saying so i like cheering people up so that's
that's where our our angel chat is i don't like negativity i don't like beef i don't like drama
if i'm not creating it and i'm not a disrespectful person and i'm not somebody who wants it i don't like negativity. I don't like beef. I don't like drama. If I'm not creating it and I'm not a disrespectful person a real platform or been content creators before,
but feel that they get enough confidence to try something new.
Nothing makes me happier in the space than seeing somebody try something that they haven't
tried before and being like, you know what, I like this.
Or, you know, just learning something new because they felt anxious about, you know,
learning about something because they didn't want to ask the dumb questions. If I call myself a leader of community,
especially women, and I'm not like setting out the vibe where I'm like, I'm down to help you
ask me a question and I'm down to help you however I can, then I'm sucking at my job.
And honestly, I really shouldn't do it in the first place um but i genuinely care and they're amazing women and
i'm really really lucky that they're a part of of the group and i just want to make them proud
and you do and you do all right so thank you so much diala i really really loved hearing you
um on this day i've never had the privilege of being your guest.
Thanks for coming and have a nice little yap with me. I know it was chaos in the beginning, but it was fun.
The best kind of fun is the chaos. And I did let Peanut, the Bearish PFP, up here just because I don't care about anybody's time.
Bearish, are you here?
I want to say hi to Peanut. I'm good.
Hey, what's going on, everybody? I'm here. We're closing out the space,? I want to say hi to Peanut. I'm good. Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I'm here.
We're closing out the space, but we wanted to say hi to you.
Oh, awesome.
It's good to hear y'all's voice.
I actually was at my desk doing a couple emails, just kind of tuning in as I was finishing up my lunch.
And then I saw that Cougar invited me up to say what's up.
So I stepped outside for a minute, just thought I'd get some vitamin D out here in this beautiful sunshine.
Hell yeah. By the way, everybody,
feel free to click on Everybody's PFP
and follow each other.
We've all been hanging out here for a while, right?
