Oh, see you, see you, see you, see you.
Oh my god, this is something like, you know, it's a space that I think after being to multiple to two spaces for some reason. It's both nervous and exciting at the same time. It's what I think about like what 300 200 people already in. It's crazy to see a sudden
This thing that was started then to have a lot of people here. So welcome to the spaces. I'm gonna let like Bohoo start this because he's pretty much the host for this event. And then we could pretty much take him from there. Yeah, I think Sean. We got to make this quick guys. My friends only got 2%.
I was so tempted to jump on and do like Irish accent or something so everyone thought I wasn't actually Australian but I can't do it. Absolutely imposter. Just engagement farming. Look honestly it's so friggin awesome man to
be here with all of you and like to see the vibes that have been going on in the space over the last three days. I've had so many messages, so many DMs from people telling me like I did not know that like Australian NFT Twitter was as big, I didn't know that we had a voice, I didn't know I had so many mates who lived just around the corner.
Like it's just been so epic and I want to give like a little bit of a background of sort of you know how we got to this point I think over the last couple of days and like I've been a my journey getting up to here and then I just want to hand over to everybody else you know we've got some awesome speakers here today you know mini post-e
I've been in NFTs for over a year now. I think I bought my first NFTs in July last year. Most of the time in that year and a bit, I'd see the occasional Aussie popping up in a project or in a discord
or something and I think, "Oh holy shit, it's awesome, someone else is here." But I never felt like there was a real presence for Australians in this space. It always felt super scabbid. And then I think I touched base with Jameson at some point, God, a few months ago, hold up, I'll just grab him up on
I was blown away. There were hundreds of people interacting and I had all these new followers and suddenly we were making all these new connections. Before that, I didn't even know we had a voice.
And like anybody who's been following me for a while will know that like I've been I've been battling with mental health know with depression and stuff and I remember the other day I was so I do this ketamine trial It's like a medical ketamine trial for depression and it's life changing but basically the other day I was I was doing it and I was
thinking about how underrepresented Australians were and like so many things about the space like the 3 a.m. Mintz I'm sure everybody in here over the last years had like 15 alarms sets throughout the night to have to get up to Mintz or to be involved in some major event because it's never when when we're when we're awake or when we're alive
There's like major projects coming with no servers for Australia. There's you know major gaming projects with no Australian servers. Real lack of major blue chip events in the space as well. A lack of cohesion and under representation of Australians. So I just basically chucked out a tweet saying you know we need a bigger
the table. Australians need to be represented and we're not being. And like I've had a lot of people messaging me saying like you did this man you know you made the difference I didn't do anything. Like if you lie to match it's not going to start a fire unless there's enough kindling. Like I just pushed the stone and you guys ran with it and that's why we're here where we are.
now. That's why I've got some of the biggest names in the space tweeting about Australia. That's why we've got web engagement farming as like that's why we're in a space right now with 800 people with some of the biggest names in NFTs, chat into you all and like just the positivity and the energy from Aussies.
that I've seen over the last couple of days is like seriously heartwarming and um yeah I feel like I've chatted enough so I'll split hand over to someone else you know just basically the only rules for this base is no shilling uh you have to know who Russell Quaid is and just have a good time
What is up? GM. Well fuckers. GM. Yeah, that's an Australian thing to do even though it's afternoon for all of us to say GM in Web 3. It's always GM bro because get money.
So who else has got the call about the court on court regulation coming?
So I don't reckon that any of us Australians have got it because I don't think it's to do with us at the moment.
