Thank you. Thank you. yo yo yo welcome to based make sure you guys are retweeting the space let all your homies
know you're in here get get your group chats lit up share the link out to your communities

We'll work on getting everybody up here as we can.
I see some folks already joining the space.
I see Spencer down there as well.
Hire, make sure you request up.

happy. That's nice, man, Gigi. No, for me, I usually just go straight through the night
That's nice, man, Gigi.
to make it to 2 a.m. to get to the space, but this time I set up an alarm just to come
in and make sure I had enough energy for everybody and for the space.
Oh, that's right. Yeah, because I thought you said you were going to take a nap. I was

Yeah, it's 2 a.m. over here. But yeah, we're going to make it happen. Just run it. I think we're Spencer. Let's see even later. Maybe earlier. I don't know. I think it's like 8 a.m. for him or something like that.
Okay, that's not bad, though. It's not like 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. like it is for some folks.
What's up, Spencer?
What's up, sir? I've been awake for almost 24 hours.
Okay, he's like, I'm ready to go.
All right, well, you know, I always want to encourage all of our founders out here to get plenty of rest and sleep and drink water.
Make sure you're hydrated uh so not life advice but uh as a healthcare professional i don't want
to see you lose sleep man but i get it i also get it when you're excited you got things things
popping off uh it's hard it's hard to put the phone down it's hard to go to sleep so i get i get it
well welcome it's gonna it's gonna be a fun space we're still giving give us some time for projects to get in here and and get up
on stage we'll do our best to make sure everyone gets their opportunity tonight
to talk about what they're doing but you know obviously we want to we want to
jump into to Rova and kind of cover cover this exciting exciting campaign
is kicking off today but before we do all that, I just want to
say welcome everybody to, I think we're at like, I would say, I got to go back and do the actual
homework on this, but this has got to be like one year because I remember we kicked off this
particular space. I've always done a space on Wednesday night, but the actual based space
I believe it was about one year ago
Just before on chain summit. So we're happy to share our you know
Our stage with some of the biggest and best builders on base tonight is no different. We have some great projects
We've got lots of stuff to talk about some alpha some announcements
I'll try not to talk a whole lot tonight to be honest. I want these I want everyone up stuff to talk about, some alpha, some announcements. I'll try not to talk a whole lot tonight, to be honest.
I want everyone up here to talk.
I want you guys to tell us what you got cooking.
So I'll try not to ramble and make a great space for you.
Mezcal, you want to kind of frame things for everybody?
Maybe have you, since you're in that lovely co-host role,
and I know how big of a part you played in putting all this together you want to hop in and
kind of share what's going on yeah um well i'll i don't know how much i want to like just let
let go on information at the just from the beginning but the i guess um spend uh no i'll
let you go for it i I'll let you host.
I'm getting my coffee.
Don't let me just get my head straight for one more minute.
I'm so sorry.
Mezcal is still waking up, man.
He needs a shot of that espresso over there.
Give me two minutes for that.
But, yeah, just go for it, please.
All good, man.
Well, welcome, everybody.
So the name of the game today that we're talking about is Rova, the Bullpost campaign.
I'm going to start pinning some stuff up for you guys so that people can check out the links.
Spencer, I guess it probably would make a lot of sense to kind of kick this off then.
We'll go ahead and start with you.
And if you want to give everyone an introduction to what Rova is, how this whole thing got cooked up,
and then we'll start kind of sharing around the room to see where everyone's at with the campaign.
Spence, you want to hop in?
Yeah, sounds good.
Thanks for having us, and thanks for putting this together.
Good to see everyone.
See a lot of familiar faces, actually.
I see Emily Jr., who we used to work with
when we were doing our prediction market days
and a bunch of other base builders that we interacted with in the past.
But yeah, excited to be here.
Some quick context on what we're doing and why we decided to co-host this campaign together
is I'm the co-founder and CEO of Rova.
So I'm the founder, co-founder and CEO of Rova.
We are building a growth tool that basically aligns users with founders and allows like
startups to convert their passive users into active champions and participants of the projects.
So, you know, a good mental model is you can think about our product as like a combination
of a launchpad with a questing product. So imagine a launchpad where
we help projects tokenize and then subsequently have a bunch of tasks that their users and engaged
participants can do to help the companies grow and whatnot. So that's kind of the product that
we're building. Another good mental model is imagine if the earliest Uber drivers were able
to buy Uber tokens, they would be hyper motivated to do more rides.
It would tell everyone about it.
That's effectively the tooling that we're trying to build out for crypto and non-crypto companies.
So, you know, we're launching in about a month or so and wanted to kind of build a fun waitlist campaign that kind of, you know, embodies this experience of rewarding early users who are helping projects with distribution.
And, you know, my co-founder, Tracy and I, who's also in the audience, came up with this idea of like, all right, let's do like a fun bold posting campaign that incentivizes users to, you know, talk about projects and get other community members excited about these projects and drive awareness.
So, you know, that's kind of the context of Bowpost. And, you know, as part of Bowpost,
we wanted to throw, we're building on base and wanted to throw a big campaign together with a
bunch of base projects, you know, a lot of whom are in the audience and will also be speaking
today. So, you know, basically wanted to have this community cross-pollination event to,
you know, celebrate base as an ecosystem,
give all these projects exposure like Avantis, Zed, Russell, Hire, you know, etc.
into this ecosystem and like just, you know, cross-pollinate,
get each other's communities aware of each other and, you know,
grow as a whole ecosystem.
So very much base aligned.
And yeah, I think, you know, we really want to put the focus on these different projects. So I think most of the time today will be spent having each founder talk about what
they're building. You know, if you guys are in the audience and you have bullish tweets about
or bullish takes about these companies, feel free to share them. And, you know, that's really what
we're trying to celebrate. So yeah, the whole campaign, so we're running a one week campaign
for these base projects. There's a $10,000 prize.
I think the announcement is pinned up here.
So feel free to take a look and if you have any questions, ping me, but yeah, I'll stop
talking and you don't really want to put the focus on the different projects that are going
to be participating in this campaign.
So yeah, throw it back to you Quiggs.
And yeah, we definitely want to hear from each project tonight for sure.
And some of you guys I'm really familiar with
and some of you I've not interacted with before.
So if I start asking too many questions, y'all tell me
because I sometimes get kind of like, you know,
I kind of get down into the weeds sometimes
and I don't want to do that.
I want to give everyone a fair chance.
So y'all just cut me off if I go too far. But I wanted to say, like you mentioned,
the rewards. So the whole thing tonight, right? Like we want to hear from all the projects that
are involved, because the way you have designed the platform is more about, it's kind of like
selfless, you know, sort of, you know, you're building it, you want, you want everyone to pay
attention to these other projects, but I'm just going to come out and be the the other guy i'm going to say hey look if you aren't
looking at what these guys are doing and you don't see the rewards pool here and like you're not
kind of catching on to what's what's happening you might miss you know you might miss it right so
pay attention to that tweet that's posted up there go tap in uh we want to highlight the projects but
we also want you to understand like there there's an awesome opportunity here for your communities, for you as a, you know, as a holder to get out here and get rewarded for what you're doing.
So go bullpost, you know, go follow the campaign.
And I want to ask one question before we kick it off to the other folks, Spencer, is that, so what about other projects?
Like, what are there other
projects that like maybe are listening in tonight i know i got a ton from the cartel side i know
there's lots of folks uh using coin merge that might want to you know hear more about
so this campaign is this something where we're going to be adding more projects yeah for sure
we're always happy to uh do more campaigns with different projects so you know
we kicked off bullpost what two weeks ago ish and we've run campaigns for sin futures we did one uh
that was you know led by us for sdx uh 6900 we just did one for fair block on monday we have a
bunch more coming up so yeah if you're a project interested in like, you know, just incentivizing your community
to talk more about you and, you know, driving more quality engagement, like hit me up.
We're always happy to like run more campaigns.
We're going to probably keep the product live for quite a while, even beyond, even after
we launched the main platform.
In fact, we're actually going to integrate this into the main platform.
So tokens that, you know, launch on Rova are actually just going to have a bullpost campaign right
out the gate so that they can launch a token, immediately activate the community, get the
noise going, and that's going to be the standard procedure.
So yeah, if you're a project, especially if you're in the base ecosystem, I'm more than
happy to get you guys onboarded and help you out.
We don't really charge anything.
We really are just trying to get you guys onboarded and help you out. We don't really charge anything. We really are just trying to get,
the only thing from Project POV is like, you know,
preparing some marketing materials
and then preparing some prize pools
to incentivize the community to talk about you.
The way we've like, you know,
designed the prize pool as well as like half,
based off engagement,
the number of likes and shares that people have and do.
And then the other half of the rewards are really geared towards quality content.
So the best memes, the best thesis, and we can always help you design these things.
So yeah, again, if you're interested, hit me up and always happy to chat.
Is the best way for someone to join or to look into this, to reach out to use your personal
account?
Or is there, what's the process there for someone that's interested in joining the campaign?
Yeah, just ping me on my personal account or toss us a message in our community telegram,
which you can find on our Rova Twitter profile.
And I'm permanently online, so I will respond to you within a few hours.
Nice, nice.
I totally understand the permanently online.
Okay, all right.
So Mezcal, how are you feeling, man?
Did you get some coffee in there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm a little bit more in there.
I got everything feeling a little bit more.
But, yeah, let's get it going, man.
All right, all right.
So, you know, everyone, Mezcal, he's a legend. He's killing it in the base trenches. He's putting some stuff together that would blow your mind. Simon's an amazing dude. So he's like, what time is it there for you again? Sorry.
It's 2.15 in the morning.
So he did the thing that I would never recommend to someone.
He tried to sleep for a couple of hours and then be, you know,
so he'd be more well-rested.
But if I did that, I would literally be like a zombie.
I don't know, man.
So hopefully you'll come around.
You sound a little bit tired, but that's okay.
So would you mind, though, just because I know you put this together,
kind of going through some of the, you know,
do you want to pick who speaks first?
I can do it if you don't want to. to no no no and you know what like uh we gotta we got some time i know some projects
are in the rush and some of them like mentioned that they only had like an extra way amount of
time so i'm gonna go through those before if the rest of the projects are on mind but they i do
wanna i would love to start with advantage just because i know they mentioned that they didn't
have all night and that they would only have like a limited amount of time.
And also, I'm just like, I'm an active user of them.
So I just want to like make sure they get some love.
And I got a couple of projects that I'll be bringing up right after that.
But yeah, Avantis, do you guys want to go for it?
Yeah, thanks so much, Mezcal and Spencer.
Thanks for having us over. Yeah, my name is Sahej. I'm one of the founders at Avantis. We've been building in the base trenches for two years now. And now we're kind of one of the larger like DeFi perps protocols here and joining hands with some really good other protocols like Synfutures, BSX, etc.
hands with some really good other protocols like sim futures bsx etc our niche is a bit different
we focus a lot on real world assets and super high leverage at zero fees i think those are
things that we're pioneering um and we have an active campaign with wallchain and of course
always looking to get more exposure into other communities and and new customers and and new
followers so i think a really good opportunity to be here.
Feel free to always DM us.
Our DMs are always open.
We're super responsive 24-7.
And if you have any product feedback, which is super important to us,
please feel free to also let us know.
So thanks again.
With the brief, with the succinct, man, that was good. That was quick.
Everyone check out Advantage, shoot them a follow.
I always ask, is there anything you'd like to pin up, any announcements or call to action that we can share with the community?
Happy to pin that up for you if you need us to.
Oh, thanks so much. I think if you look at our profile, the pinned tweet about our Series A announcement should give you a very good overview of what our vision is and what we've been building towards so i think anything more than that is like overkill and you
already can see that in our profile okay i'll go for it i'll help you guys i don't pin that up
i already pinned it up it's already done yeah got you i got you very exciting uh how do you
what are your thoughts on on rova on this campaign I know he asked me to focus on the projects,
but I just gotta, I can't help it, right?
I get excited about stuff like this.
You hopped in, obviously as one of the first ones
in the campaign, so what are your thoughts?
Yeah, so I've known Spencer for a long time, by the way,
and I wanted to support, that's the first thing I'll say.
Secondly, you know, of course, like Kaito, Wall wallchain uh kuki all have come up as like decentralized marketers i think rova
is doing something unique so i wanted to kind of every founder i'm sure wants to test out um what
the marketing spend leads to from an roi perspective i think like attribution is the hardest thing in
d5 uh and so rova's trying to solve that I do I do appreciate that so
just wanted to hop in and see what the space is about see what Rova is built
and then see the aftermath right the the effects of the spend itself yeah
that's all I'll say beautiful yeah no I think I think we all like to see it you
know as far as as far as it goes I mean we're still at the stage where I think we all like to see it. As far as it goes, I mean, we're still at the stage where I think experiments, right?
Experimentation is really fun to be a part of.
New ideas, new fresh takes.
We see some pieces that we've seen before, but it's always exciting to see a new approach.
So I'm looking forward to it as well, just seeing how this all unfolds and you know getting our community activated in the process and
you know hopefully giving uh some of these rewards out to uh to the folks that are you know out here grinding and living in the in the trenches right get rewarded for your time guys that's that's what
that's what base is really pushing for right just giving us opportunities and flywheels to uh
to be rewarded so you love to see it um all right so uh i know by the way uh i don't know
if mezcal if base uh based ng uh reached out to you also as about time zones yeah as well i think
they're on a similar time zone to me so yeah like maybe we could we give them a chance to go ahead
for the next spot yeah sounds good man what's up based ngie cartel over here yes yes yeah no uh being part of the
base cartel for for pretty much since inception right um but yeah no it's an absolute pleasure
to be part of this campaign um we've uh always looked to partner uh with with all projects uh as
many as possible on uh or within the base ecosystem um we are obviously naturally now
i think deemed an og meme being around for for almost one year and five months now um but i just
wanted to give a quick lowdown on um on the narrative of course so basenji is the oldest
dog breed uh in history and it just happens to have base in its name right um which was a wonderful narrative
when we came across it and we just felt that that was it was absolutely integral that we
we took advantage of it uh to the maximum extent for which uh for which we have and i think uh
as we all know uh dog memes have um have obviously spearheaded um crypto meme culture over the course of the last cycle. And so therefore,
Basenji was a no-brainer essentially. In terms of base, building on base has been great.
It's been eventful to say the least. And we certainly do try to onboard as many people onto the base, into the base ecosystem as possible.
And we recently did that as well with our takeover
of London across 41 different screens
in the most prominent of locations,
which I've gone to pin that over onto this Jumbotron as well
for all to be able to view um in addition to that we
have also recently um managed to uh take a retail focus um in respect to our our listings um and we
we got on boarded and listed on revolute which is uh the largest digital neobank in the world at the moment. So certainly looking to press on, build the Basenji IP,
for which is owned in-house, and continue and roll the dice
further into this year as well.
Super cool.
And I wasn't sure that it's been that long,
but I do remember even like the pre-sale that you guys launched.
You guys went through like a pre-sale, right? Was it?
No, no, it was a complete, it was a complete fair launch.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, okay, okay. Not that I got it wrong.
No, but man, like since right now, especially with everything that we're working with Bullposts
and what you mentioned that you had the, all the screens around London.
I just like, just because I'm correlating the point between both
like how how important do you think brand awareness and IP awareness and just like people
seeing and getting familiarized with the IP how beneficial do you think that is yeah no so since
uh Basenji's inception we made it very clear to the the audience and the community um that we own the ip all in
house um that allowed us to obviously uh do as we wish with our animation work artwork etc um for
which we we've continued for over a year period now um but it allows us to do like these weird
and wonderful things uh in the real world as well to onboard users to base, right?
So the London takeover, as you can see on the Jumbotron,
but also last year or last season, rather, across Europe, we sponsored the leading football or you guys in America's day soccer teams,
which had 300 million impressions across 30 million in stadium individuals as well managed to go and see those Bisenji based commercial advertisement campaigns.
So I do think brand awareness IP is something which we've we focused on since inception and we will continue to do so down the down the straight.
continue to do so down the down the straight.
No, they these guys kill it on the marketing side and another another
you know when I saw that you guys hopped on to the bullpost campaign.
I was like, well, that makes sense because you guys are always on top of all
the sort of innovative pushing the boundaries marketing and yeah,
not even surprised at all that you were one of the
first ones to jump to jump in here and uh super super happy to have you join oh by the way i know
i know i can't just like go on an on-chain summit uh you know thing tonight but like you guys are
coming to san francisco right yeah so uh we we we definitely have uh have things planned as well and
we've been speaking with some of your peers as well. Okay, okay.
All right.
See, I keep up.
Sometimes I lose track of some of this stuff, but I was 99% sure you guys were tapped in, so I'm excited for that.
I'm excited for that.
Sounds good.
Okay.
All right.
Well, get some rest, man.
If you got a crash, we don't want to keep you up too late.
No, that's absolutely fine.
I'll certainly stick around as well, and it'll interesting to uh just uh hear out the other projects as well
i guess with one ecosystem yeah you gotta love it i mean uh uh definitely excited to uh to have
this campaign kicking off hopefully your community sees the opportunity and hops in and uh takes
advantage of it so awesome and i have one last question for this agent
before we go to the next subject.
Would you guys say you guys are
the OG dog of base?
I would say
that we are the OG dog
breed of base, yes.
Just how you have
Shib on ETH, etc.,
we are the dog breed of base, yes.
Okay, I like that.
That's good. That is a good that's a good line i like it the breed i love it okay um as we're
getting ready to go to our next project i got a couple guys over here once again uh just because
we're all in the same chat so whenever if anybody wants to ask, but if not, you can just raise your hand
and we'll go through the hands as well.
But I do see Tony Hawk is in the house.
Tony, do you want to just come in and speak a little bit
of what you're building and what you're bringing in to Bullpost, please?
Yeah, what's up, Muscala?
What's up, Quig?
Thanks for having me here.
I was laughing earlier because it was just like a bunch of really cool logos up here on the stage and then and then
a frog and a toad just me and spencer up here chilling with all the look you gotta hey we're
we're an inclusive space we are open to frogs toads all of it so all good i made a lot of money off
of frogs so i i don't mind ever seeing frogs.
There you go.
Well, I appreciate the invite to be a part of this.
I'm excited to learn more about what Rov is building
and excited to be a part of this campaign.
The project that I'm working on, I'm working on a couple,
but the one I'm here to talk about today is Betterment,
which is a Frogcaster mini-app that turns supporting on-chain creators on base
into a gamified live event three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 3 p.m. EST.
We launched about three months ago. We've done over $100,000 in transaction volume so far,
and we've helped creators earn over $30,000 in a meta that is really difficult for creators to
get paid for their creativity. So very proud of of that we also have a companion token for the app called better
dollar sign better v-e-t-e-r that is pretty integrated into the app and and into the community
we were kind of celebrating today as a community because we just hit an all-time high of 1.3 million
on the token so good day and happy to be here and talk about what we're building and answer any questions.
A legend, man.
This dude's a legend.
I'm so happy for you, by the way, that you put this together.
And I see the support you're getting from the Clanker community and from the base ecosystem in general.
It's well-deserved.
Also, one of the best content creators in our ecosystem here, I would say.
I mean, there's a need.
I always say there's a big need, and you've stepped up tremendously,
so we respect and appreciate that.
That means a lot.
I think that's very true, though, a lot of the time,
is that if you're trying to solve a problem,
it makes a lot of sense to come at it from a place where you understand the pain.
And being a creator in this space for the last four plus years, I know how difficult it is to make a living on chain.
You know how difficult it is, Quigs.
Like we're trying lots of different things.
We're experimenting and having a lot of success.
But it's not easy.
And especially for other creators, if they don't have distribution yet, if they don't have a big following yet, it's even more difficult.
If they don't have distribution yet, if they don't have a big following yet, it's even more difficult.
And so these were the kind of problems that sort of led me and my co-founder NetNose to think about how we could use, you know, use sort of on-chain native tech, like use tokens to incentivize certain behaviors like patronizing creators on-chain, make it more fun, you know, give it a little bit of dopamine rush so people will show up and collect NFTs or buy content coins on Zora to support the creators they love.
And, yeah, that's basically been the inspiration for what we're building.
Based.
That's super cool.
Tony, what's the best way for people to be able to support Betterment and everything that you're working on right now?
Well, one thing I always think is a little bit funny when we're doing Spaces on X we do them as well, because I mean, this is where a lot of the people are.
But Betterment is a Farcaster mini app. So I mean, first things first, if you want to check it out,
you got to get on Farcaster. And if you're not there yet, I don't know what to tell you,
because you're missing out on a lot of alpha, you're missing out on an interesting
crypto native community that is, you know, complementary and different to X. So it's
fine to do both. For sure, I do both. But get over on Farcaster, get signed up, check it out,
or the Base app.
The Base app is an alternate Farcaster client that you can get on
that is basically used to be a Coinbase wallet,
and you can interact with the Farcaster ecosystem that way.
But definitely get on there.
Once you're there, check us out at Betterment, B-E-T-R-M-I-N-T.
You can search in the mini-app app drawer and you'll see our app.
You can check it out.
When there's not a round going, basically all you'll see is the previous piece of content that we featured
and how much money they made on the last round.
But you can install the app and then when the next round comes up,
which again is Monday, Wednesdays and Friday at 3 p.m. EST,
then you'll get a notification and it's kind of like this little dopamine rush, like I said,
where everyone's trying to get into the game and collect the content
and spin the neon wheel and win some tokens.
And usually our games are over in like 15 to 20 minutes
because there's a lot of demand for them.
So it's really fun.
Come check us out on Farcaster and join our community,
and I think you'll enjoy it.
I want to ask super quickly,
just because you mentioned that you guys are on the base app
and as well as Forecaster.
This is like a genuinely curious question,
especially since you were in the content space.
And I was speaking with David a couple of weeks ago
about like how amplification on X
from like the base account
from like all these different aspects
and how he was like, dude,
I don't understand why people want to be reposted
from the base account when we created like the major uh the major distribution network which is
the base app so you mentioned that you have a mini app on the base app how has the distribution of
information the distribution of what you're building and the distribution of content changed
since the base app and mini apps have come to life if you've
experienced that like can you share a little bit about that i have to be careful about getting too
much into talking about mini apps because i could talk about it you know all night and i'm sure some
other people want to talk tonight but the only thing i will say is that you know the mini app
opportunity on farcaster which also happens to be the mini app opportunity on the base app because
they're both integrated with the farcaster protocol. The opportunity is pretty amazing. Like you can't really just go and build
an Apple app and expect them not to take 30% of everything you do or expect any kind of
distribution or support from Apple. So when you're building apps, you kind of have to like,
you have this cold start problem all the time. Whereas if you have a good idea for a mini app
and you have someone that can help you build it, you can just, you know, you can just do things. You can just build a mini app.
The distribution is built in. Farcaster and TBA don't take any percentage of any transactions.
You've got everyone who's using your app has a wallet integrated into their Farcaster or their
TBA account so they can do things on chain without any kind of friction. So it really opens up this
amazing design space to be able to build apps in a way that wasn't previously possible.
Like I said, they're not taking a cut.
So there's lots of opportunities to make revenue and profit from, you know, from good apps that solve needs.
So that's been our experience with Betterment is that we built something that people seem to like.
And it's been a great experience having that built-in distribution, both on Farcaster and on TBA and all these new people who are coming in and seeing it in the featured apps carousel, just giving it a try.
It's like a constant top-of-funnel flow into what you're building.
Hey, I have a quick question, not to deviate too far here, but TBA group chats.
Okay, there's group chats going on.
All right, we happen to have
a pretty good one with the base cartel group chat and i without permission added toady but
i've been talking to chin tan you know the the head engineer over there at base and apparently
some of you guys aren't seeing that you're in these group chats which is crazy because
me too i see it but i will say i will Since the base event, which was what, like a week and a half ago,
I got added to so many group chats.
I think I got added to like 35 group chats on TBA,
and I'm seriously still going through them to figure out which ones are signal and noise.
So I have to go through, I apologize, and find the chat.
Well, again, I won't get into it too far tonight.
There's something happening in our group chat that you are now getting fees
for, but you'll have to come in there to find
it and claim, so you should know
that. This is the everything,
correct? Correct.
Yes, I'm not here to steal that tonight,
but yes. Quigs is like,
I will literally pay you to come check your messages.
No, no, no, no.
I didn't watch it. Say last, say last. I just want you to come check your messages. No, no, no, no. I didn't watch it. Say less.
I just want you to know if you want signal, there's a group chat.
We're in there having a good time.
And one of these MFers in there went ahead and launched a token in there.
And you're getting fees from it since you were in that chat.
But, you know.
Brave new world.
It's all good.
You love it, man.
On-chain flywheel economies.
You know, we love it.
I told 1010, I was like, hey, I messaged him. I said, hey, someone launched a token in our chat.
Sorry, I didn't give you a heads up. He was like, no, this is what we wanted. We expected this.
So all good. We want these economies, right? These little chats to become like their own little economies.
So I was like, all right, cool. Bet. Let's keep doing it. All right, cool, man.
Check out Betterment. Check out Toadie. This's keep doing it. All right, cool, man. Check out Betterment.
Check out Toadie.
This guy's a legend.
We love everything you're doing.
Like I said, I'm just so happy for you that this is really starting to get traction and grow.
What's up, Mez?
No, no, no.
It's super cool.
And I do appreciate that you're subtly chilling everything, let's say.
But a little bit of everything. You're chilling a little bit of everything here tonight.
You know what I mean?
But the,
I mean,
I just was saying to join you're in the chat,
bro.
Like just make sure you,
I just actually wanted to know if you could see it because like I said,
about half the people can't even see the thing.
So yeah,
I was trying to make sure.
I really,
I'm excited to dig into rova
too though like i've been reading a little bit about it it seems really neat and one of the
things i'm really obsessed with uh is just like figuring out different new strategies for
distribution for both tokens and projects when they launch and i can see spencer's thought a
lot about this and and that's kind of an inspiration obviously for them as well but there's just so
many interesting ways that we can get both distribution and distribution uh from different apps and by that i mean like
distribution of your actual physical token uh your on-chain token and also distribution in the
traditional sense like just eyeballs on your project and uh so yeah it's just really cool
to see other other people thinking about the same problems yeah i think that's that's and when we
talk about you know bringing you know millions billions of people on chain and, you know, creating this economy,
on-chain economy, there needs to be a place that, that people, you know, that have serious startup
plans can go, right? And, and I think that seeing that infrastructure come together here is
super bullish for, for the space. So definitely excited. And I think I seeing that infrastructure come together here is super bullish for the space.
So definitely excited.
And I think I've been talking to – this is how I roll, sorry.
I've been talking to other teams that are doing stuff.
I'm like, you guys need to watch what these guys are doing.
This is how you do it.
You come in with this type of campaign, and you're going to make a lot of noise and get people excited.
You're going to reward people, which literally, it's very base aligned, right?
It's based.
That's what I love about it.
So, yeah, man.
Happy to have you on board and looking forward to seeing this campaign blow up on the timeline.
Yeah, super hyped as well.
All right, let's go to the next one.
I know Set Champions is cooking with a couple of things.
I don't know what they want to come up today and tell us about,
but Set Champs, what's up, guys?
Simon, Simon, what's up, man?
Quigs, how's it going?
I love the new PFP.
Yeah, I got to rock the OnChain Summit PFP for the month
because we got to support the Summit, homies. They're're doing good you see these pfps everywhere all of a sudden they're not even
it's not even nft collection it's just good art that is being shared out now i do think everyone
who has one should go mint it as content on zora or on the base app so that people can uh you know
have some fun with those images but but yeah i I appreciate it, man. Hell yeah. Send me the link and I'll go mint one.
But yeah, we're cooking up a lot of things.
I mean, Simon, you know us here at Zed Champions.
We love to bull post and we're doing a lot of big things,
both on the Zed Champions side, the Zed Pick side.
Last time I was here, we hadn't even released staking yet,
which is kind of crazy because
that was less than a month ago, right? And since then, we've launched staking. We're doing about
2 million Zed a day in player stakes. That means all the stakes go to the racing pool, right? And
the whole goal is to grow the racing pool, juice the racing pool, so that everyone who has a horse, who has stakes on a horse,
just all wins, right?
Everyone is kind of on the same team
and just really getting as much as they can from the racing pool.
So we're really excited about that.
Even VHS, we're staking a million
zed a day on the top 80 horses um which is super exciting so if you own a top 80 horse you're
getting staked that um zed every single day and we're even staking 10k zed on all new horses
that win their first race so for for everyone listening, if you go to
zedchampions.com, if you don't have an account, sign up. It takes one second with an email address,
breed your first horse. If it wins its first race, we will stake 10,000 Zed on it. And all of a
sudden you now have a career racehorse to build off of. And that's super exciting because then the next step is to climb the leaderboard inside the racing pool.
And then once you get into the top 80, then we'll stake a million on that top 80.
And it's just talk about flywheels, right?
That's the whole point of the game.
I mean, literally.
By the way, congrats on the uh the medicaid campaign too i saw that the
you guys kicked off with the partnership with them yeah yeah we did a big partnership with
medicaid i was on stream with them it was really exciting we got a lot of new users we gave out
a hundred dollars uh in reze to uh come play the game. So you guys gave out, what was it like,
almost $35,000?
It was like 50,000.
It was insane.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
In this market, right?
Which a lot of people aren't talking about,
but the Web3 market is still kind of in this bearish market
where it's following Bitcoin, it's following ETH,
but we still have a lot of room to grow and to have a game like us.
We've been around since 2020 with Zed Run, rebranded to Zed Champions.
We're giving away 50K to new users.
It's really exciting.
Really, no one else is doing this in the space.
Our move to base is really like we we're a family, right? We want
everyone to succeed. And, um, that's why we're here, right? That's why we're here. That's why
we're partnering with Roba. That's why we come to these spaces. We love Quigs. We love listening to
you guys. And we're just one big family. We all want to succeed. Hell yeah, man. Hey, did you want
to pin, uh, pin something up? Anytime you guys have something to pin up,
feel free to do it. If you need help, just let me know. Funk, who's our in-house pin expert,
pinning expert, he's actually had to take the night off. He's got a family vacation,
so I can help you pin up anything you guys need. Just let me know.
Yeah, if you want to just send it my way, I can for sure pin it if you got anything in particular you want to pin up.
Perfect, perfect.
And we're also doing these weekly rewards as well.
So, I mean, if that wasn't enough, we're also giving out weekly prizes
if you come into the Discord.
And really that's, you know, go in,
creatingaccountains.champions.com, stake, and really that's, you know, go in crane and Collins at champions.com
stake on a horse, breed a horse, but come to our discord as well. We saw a lot of people from the
Medicaid and even the Miggles, um, and base cartel, you know, what we did, uh, in July,
we saw a lot of people come in, right. And that's the best place. Cause we're all talking
24 seven. Uh, it's a great community and it's a great place to strategize with players,
to learn the ropes, and to really understand what we're building,
because I know it can be a lot, but it's very exciting.
Awesome.
And you know what?
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm sure there's something that we can play,
especially right now where you guys are in a position where you're onboarding players.
I'm sure there's something that we'll find a way to,
between you guys and Roba,
I think there's a couple of synergies that we could work on
that could be really potentially super cool,
both in what you guys were kind of working on,
I'm not gonna say it publicly,
but kind of working on with Clanker,
and just trying to figure out as well,
right now that you guys are so much in the game for distribution of tokens and trying to find out, especially right now that you guys connected with, you guys got your Twitter connection going so we can start really figuring out who's playing, who's talking about the game, who's playing the game and talking about the game.
So yeah, that'd be super cool.
And that's 100% something that we would be super happy to work on and see what possibilities there are in the game. So yeah, that'd be super cool. And that's a hundred percent something that we would be super happy to like work on
and like see what possibilities there are in the future.
100% yeah.
When you log into Zed Champions,
if you already have an account or you're signing up,
definitely connect your ex.
We're going to be rewarding a lot of re-Zed
to people who are bull posting part of this Rova campaign,
part of, you know, part of the Medicaid.
We have some really exciting partnerships in the works that I'm really excited about.
We also have, and it's crazy because we haven't even really talked about Zed Picks, which I know
last time I was here, those had just gotten approved on the App Store, but we're also on
Google Play. So if you have an Android, if you have an Apple, doesn't matter, go to the App Store, but we're also on Google Play. So if you have an Android,
if you have an Apple, it doesn't matter, go to the App Store, look up ZedPix. We have some
really exciting news. Hopefully in the next week, we're going to be launching with Zcash.
What is that? That is basically the real rewards currency inside the Zed Picks app. So you will be able to earn real rewards depending
on where you live, but you'll be able to earn real rewards just picking two to four horses
on a race. And these are real races, by the way. These are real Zed Champions races that are in
the app on the app store. You log in, you pick two to four horses. If they place in the top four, you win Zcash, right?
And then you cash out for real rewards.
It's an awesome sweepstakes flywheel that we've built.
And again, just another tool to convert the masses from Web 2 to Web 3.
Super cool.
And I know you guys are working as well,
like trying to find the way between like the base app and also the Apple App Store.
So I'm very curious to see that once you guys are both on both applications or in both distribution platforms, what the difference is going to be like.
That's my biggest thing. Like, OK, the base app, they have like 10 million loaded wallets with cash.
The base app, they have like 10 million loaded wallets with cash.
And obviously the, what's it called?
The Apple Store has a bigger amount of users.
I just want to see, like, I'm very curious to see, like, what the distribution is going to be,
what the onboarding is going to be like, how that's going to be changing in the upcoming months.
But yeah, super cool and super happy to see everything that's going on in Set Champions.
I know you guys are building a bunch of things in the background as well. So super excited to see everything that's going on inside champions i know you guys are building a bunch of things in the background as well so super excited to see everything that's
going to happen thanks man yeah we're really excited as well so if you're listening come in
be a part of the community and uh yeah let's get racing let's get racing let's go. All right. We got, I know Russell is stressing about jumping on top of the stage.
So I'm going to give Hire the platform coming up, if that's okay with you, quickly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's fine. I think we go Hire, we go Russell, and then we go back to Hire.
And then we go back to Hire.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, I'm just kidding. I want to hear more from Spence.
I want to hear more from Spence.
I know he wanted to hear from the project tonight,
but I want to hear more about this next phase as well.
But, yes, let's do that.
Let's go to Hire.
Hire, can you hear us?
Intermission.
This guy just got Hire as he sat here.
Spencer, do you want to talk about anything while we wait for Hire to respond or get back into stage?
Is there anything you want to speak about right now, especially since you've heard a little bit about all these projects, what they're building?
Is there anything that comes up to mind that you want to speak about?
I don't even... Is Spencer still on stage? I think we lost him.
I think he dropped out just a second ago.
We lost him.
We just got higher.
Higher.
Can you hear us?
Oh, no.
All right.
We might have to have them drop and come back up if they can't hear us.
Okay. Well, you want to go to Russell? I back up if they can't hear us. Okay.
Well, you want to go to Russell?
I think Russell.
I want to hear about Russell.
They've just been hanging out the whole time, chilling.
We're chilling.
We're vibing.
Kicking it.
What's happening, Russell?
Oh, so nice to be up here.
It was really nice listening to all those projects, and I just want to thank Mezcal for the invite.
It's been a while since we've done an AMA, so I'm a little bit nervous.
But yeah, if you want, we can jump right into it.
Yeah, welcome. Welcome to BASED.
This is a place where you can feel free to just relax.
Tell us about what you got cooking.
Obviously, you know, I think a lot of people are familiar
with the token, but we'd love to hear about what's happening on the back end and kind
of give us some updates on what's going on.
Sure. So, as you all know, we are Russell, CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong's dog, his
adorable white Akita Inu. We like to call ourselves the
goodest boy on base. So we launched 10 months ago, just after Brian's wedding day picture that he
posted. This was a, like a complete CTO, a little bit of a chaotic launch because the dev was selling like over 200k onto the chart.
So it has been quite a hard upcoming, but you know what?
This is honestly what has made him so special.
So if you have heard about the story, there was a lot of controversy at the start if the
dog's name was really Russell. And everyone was like,
oh my God, Brian, is your dog named Russell? Can you confirm? Can you confirm, Brian, hello?
And you know, this is like kind of what created a whole community of tight-knit core believers
that we all stayed committed until the truth was finally revealed through many sources, actually.
But now Brian himself, that the dog's name is Russell.
Yeah, you guys have like an insane peak recently on the chart.
You can just like see when he confirmed that the name of the dog was Russell.
Yeah, it's really exciting.
We're the first meme in 2025
to get that direct interaction from Brian Armstrong himself.
And I feel like that's extremely rare and not to be overlooked
because even some of the biggest memes that have gone over 500 mil
haven't had that personal interaction with them on their twitters uh and
this was like he did it when we were at like two mil market cap which kind of spiked us all the
way up to 14 uh which is like solo in my opinion for for what we got coming and where we're gonna
go so did he reply to you guys or what did he do exactly he did so i don't know if you saw his post. It was about his Spotify playlist.
He had like, I don't know, some like 72 hour long playlist of his favorite song.
And under it, we kind of posted a picture of Russell, like an AI-generated Akita Inu with like these blue headphones on.
But for some reason, AI for the life of it cannot put headphones on like animal ears.
So I thought it was really funny.
I posted it anyway.
And then Brian commented and it probably bothered him because he looked at it and he's like,
the headphones need to be on the
dog's ears like it needs to be on his ears and that was kind of the interaction um which was
quite funny and like he said and he said uh the headphones on his ears which was like very
obviously replying to russell so russell's ears and that kind of gave everyone that kick that all right yeah this is definitely brian's dog
that's super cool yeah so i mean i feel like we're sitting on kind of like a gold mine of a narrative
i mean we all know um we're all familiar with doge you know largest market meme coin and then we had
something like floki which is like el Elon's dog, and then Nero.
And they all reached over $1 billion market cap.
So we're looking at Russell being the dog of the biggest publicly traded crypto exchange, Coinbase, kind of making him the perfect lovable mascot.
lot. He's really got the face for it. So yeah, just what we're kind of working on now is that
He's really got the face for it.
we'd love to do a lot of marketing content for Coinbase. I know if you've seen that they
love doing their advertisements and they've been doing a nice roll of some of them on their tweets
and just trying to really emotionally connect with their users.
We kind of want to do the same thing by creating advertisements, but using our mascot, Russell.
And if, I don't know how to pull up the tweets,
but we kind of started a slow roll on one today.
We're working with a really talented videographer who's just getting into the AI,
and it is just incredible. I don't know if you guys can pull it up.
Yeah, do you want to send it to me and I can pin it up?
Yeah, sure. So yeah, we're working on a lot of marketing content in that sense, and we just want to create, getting into that creative content that the base app is really advocating for.
So it's a lot of great energy.
We did get access to the base app, so we're also on there as well.
And it's been such a smooth experience using it.
and I absolutely love it.
I absolutely love it.
I need to get your base username so I can find you on there
and invite you to our chat.
And if you guys have a chat, I'd love to get in there.
I like the group chats.
I think that's so far my favorite.
I don't know why.
No, they're fun.
It actually feels like, I mean, they're a little bit clunky right now.
I mean, they're still working on it, but it just feels like, for me,
the timeline sometimes can get a little bit, you know, I kind of get lost in that.
But, you know, you form your groups, you share content,
highlight certain posts and builders, and you build.
I like it.
Everything is going on.
Everything is going to happen in the base app, right?
Definitely.
Okay. everything's gonna happen in the base app right definitely okay yeah it feels that likely is since you guys Russell are you guys just mentioned that you guys
are posting on the base app as a brand as an IP what have you guys seen as a
biggest benefit so far if any so far just I know they're still walking so
trying like figure out what the distribution of content is going to be like. How have you guys found the base app to be as a distribution of content
and compress it to Twitter so far?
I would say that it's...
I want to say it has the most...
I feel like this is the first app that has been as like cohesive as the base app to be a wallet, a social media, a trading platform.
So that's really I feel like that's huge.
Like that's like the upcoming of social media and crypto and their integrations. I think the whole, the product that they've came out with on their launch day is just like, it's so smooth.
And in terms of even just like the UI and everything that's like organized in their different categories.
I think the discover page, I feel like that's going to be where the most work should be done is just how people do get discovered when they post their content.
Because right now I'm like, when I was using it, I'm like, okay, so like I'm scrolling the feed, but let's say you post your feed.
How does it get picked up?
And like, how does it kind of show up there?
Yeah, like the for you page, you know, like when you start, like, finding, like, new people.
Yeah, I agree.
I've had, like, the same issue where I've had that same thought.
Yeah, the base app's not perfect.
I mean, they've been out for, like, a week and a half.
Kudos to them, like, everything that they're building.
But I know there's a couple things that they're working on.
Yeah, I feel like that's what it's like.
To be clear, though, it is still beta.
So don't, you know, let me say they've been out for a week and a half.
But let's not say they're not fully launched yet.
They're still in beta, and it's invite only.
So they're, like, literally, I'm not kidding.
Like, Chintan is, like, we need to put him in your chat, too, Russell,
and get him in there so he can, like, he can, you know, debug.
That's what they're doing.
So I hope, I think, you know, who knows what timeline is,
but very soon I'm sure they're going to do some massive updates and changes,
and we're going to really start seeing some more folks.
I mean, right now, think about it.
What do you think, like, what do you think the percentage is?
Like 2% of the users are on there right now, like something small, right?
Like the floodgates are going to open up.
And for all of us like yourself that are already in there
kind of figuring it out and building, you know,
building sort of hubs and whatnot,
we're going to be well positioned, I think.
So certainly not quite fully up and running yet,
but definitely super, I think it's super smooth.
And it's like, there's definitely some like, like like i said i think about the group chats even like
just figuring out how to get people in them sometimes is a is a challenge but uh they're
gonna be fixing that soon so looking oh yeah they're gonna get a lot of great feedback
from this and it's honestly so lucky to be able to be kind of with the first users because everyone's
uh really supporting
each other. They're all trying to follow each other. They're all trying to get involved.
So that's the fun part of being early.
Love it. Okay. All right. Well, what about, all right, Mezcal, who else do we got? We
went through almost every project, I think, that was on the lineup. I did see we just snuck in at the last minute. We got the homies from Crisis King down there. Did you have any, but before we jump into them, did you have any, any sort of like thoughts or anything you want to pin up to the top that we can share for you? I think I pinned up the breaking news post for you. Russell, was there anything else you want to share with the community? I think just what's up and coming. We are working with a talented artist to create our
first NFT collection for the community. And we're going to be using the majority of those
funds to be raised and donated to Meaningful Cause, which we're going to work directly
with the organization. So that's kind of upcoming for Russell and all the other content that
we're working on. it feels like it's it
feels like it's nft season right like it's happening oh yeah it feels like nfts on base
nfts that are associated with tokens like I feel like we're back a little bit I feel like people
really like the it's like uh it's like part of your personality once you put it on. So I think that's always going to stick around for NFTs.
Yeah, no, I'm an NFT guy, so I'm always waiting for it to come back.
Like, I remember when the 404 thing started taking off and I was so happy.
I was like, here we go.
We're back, baby.
And then we just didn't quite hit it like I thought.
But there has been a lot of good signals and signs that the NFT space is ready, you know,
to explode. I think anytime there's a full bull market, you know, the NFT space is going to see
some resurgence and people looking for PFPs, like you said, and the good artwork to invest in. And
my favorite stuff is like kind of the more nerdydy side like how can we use these things to do other cool stuff on chain like you know token gating and staking and all the other innovative
things that people are building so i always love i always love that side i know zed's over here like
hey hey you're talking you're talking about me uh but you know i love that stuff it's it's what
it's what brought me in you know as far as you. I think I was, like a lot of you, I dabbled in crypto and did some trading and holding and all that.
But I didn't get fully sort of like onboarded as a daily, you know, person in the space until NFT started picking up.
So looking forward to another huge run on that side.
But OK, cool.
Mezcal, can we let crisis king come through oh he's
requesting now actually i think higher they oh yes higher sorry i'm my bad for some reason they
were they were they were hiding down there on my screen are they back yeah yeah hey can you guys
hear me yeah we can hear you okay all right there we go yeah sorry i had some trouble with my bluetooth but yeah thanks for
having me on quigs and mezcal and um you know spencer uh so it's great to it's great to be on
um i'll give like a quick update on you know who we are as hire and then you know kind of what
we've been doing on base so we actually started off like like hire is actually a product we've
been building for a larger platform called BSX.
So I know Sehat from Avantis was here earlier.
He mentioned us.
But yeah, we've been building on base for like almost two years now.
Actually, like over two years at this point because we started building under Testnet. So, you know, we've been building out like a variety of different trading products,
starting with perps and then moving more to like DGN products where we built
out a thousand X leverage on BSX. And we had built out, you know, swaps on directly on our platform
where you can like trade across multiple different aggregators on base. And that led us to
building higher, right? So we had identified like one unique thing about base or yeah, base that you
don't see across, you know, like the other ecosystems is just like the amount of different launch pads we have. So I think
like we started off with, you know, like Clanker and there's like 8.8.store, Zora, of course,
Flaunch, Virtuals, you know, all these different like really good launch pads. And it's really
hard to catch all the different runners on them. So our thesis with Hire was really like, hey,
can we create a really good platform
where users can have all of this
in like a centralized experience?
So what we've done with Hire
is we've indexed all the major launch pads on base
and essentially given users like a turnkey solution
where they can easily log in, connect their wallet,
they can import as many wallets as they want as well
and get all the analytics and do all their trading directly in one platform and and our goal with
hire really is to like integrate it into bsx right so we we really you know as a trader you get
everything you want on on one platform like whether you want to trade perps what do you want to trade
a thousand x leverage on you know like different different coins whether you want to trade meme
coins or you know whether you're just looking for a place to do on, you know, like different, different coins, whether you want to trade meme coins or, you know,
whether you're just looking for a place to do like simple swaps or like T
wops into like your favorite tokens into. Right. So, you know,
that's kind of like our goal and like what we've been building towards. And yeah,
I'm just excited to be on here. Excited anytime, like anyone, you know,
promotes base just cause we've been like on this ecosystem for so long. And yeah,
that's yeah that's
really our our kind of our spiel for hire super cool um i got a couple questions for you guys i
i'm like a really geeky trader i guess um i do think one of the biggest reasons why and i i'm
not afraid to say that like base has like fallen a little bit behind on the like that liquid situation or like being able to send much more much more tokens higher to say like yeah there's a lot of
things from the macro perspective but i do think as well it's where people have the opportunity to
like buy these tokens to a to find like a better chart find like a better trading solution i know
back in the solana days i was i think i was using
bull eggs i was using a couple of these different platforms and just like it was so easy and so nice
to trade on so yeah i do think it's going to be one of you guys's platform that's going to help
bring in those trenches back to live in base and i think i saw jesse speaking about you guys a couple
months ago weeks ago and so i started
like diving into you guys and like you guys are one of the platforms that like i have a loaded
wallet ready for me to like do some trench work on but yeah higher is what i would use on base
as of right now but um i did want to ask you guys um what what what do you think it's gonna like make uh separate you guys
from like other trading bots on base or especially like some other bots some other trading platforms
that are coming into base what do you guys think how it makes higher better than the other ones
yeah so i think i think the first thing is like like building on base is kind of like uh you kind
of have to be a little bit more native on base, especially for, you know, like a lot of these different trading tools.
Like, for example, you know, like a lot of a lot of virtual tokens are on like Univ3 pools or they're deployed.
Like it's much easier to integrate and like start trading them.
Like we just hold switch over to Univ4.
Those are custom hooks.
Right. integrate and like start trading them. Like we just hold switch over to Univ4. Those are custom hooks, right?
So like the integrations just become a little bit more difficult,
like pulling the data in becomes a little bit more difficult.
And, you know, since we've been building on base, like,
and we've been building higher for a couple of months now,
we just kind of understand, you know, like who to go to when we have a problem.
And it's not just like simple as that you can port your trading portal over and then you automatically are able to like index all of base and like get all get the best routing.
Right. So with higher, we see that as like a really strong competitive advantage.
Plus, I think just like speed. Right. So we've already indexed, I think, five different launch pads and we're continually adding more as they're popping up on base. So really, we're going to have the total breadth of different launchpads.
And a lot of these launchpads, actually, what they want to do is they want to use our platform
as a way for them to also enable users to launch tokens, right?
Because they're building out all this infrastructure for token launches, similar to how TBA is
built on Zora.
We've been talking to some launchpads where we're like, hey, we built out the infrastructure
where users can use Hire to launch tokens
and then get them to actually go and run
directly on the same platform.
And we can pop up different pages
on new token launches and runner of the day
and kind of build a more immersive experience doing that.
Man, okay. So I don't know why but for some reason I haven't used you guys yet but I'm definitely gonna have to tap in I I've seen you guys around
too and I'm like what why am I not how have I not used this yet okay I'm
learning I'm learning I'm making some notes here i'm gonna hit up mezcal
probably later and be like you know give me give me the alpha on these guys what did i miss love it
man yeah yeah i was gonna ask you about the bullpost side of it too like um i'm just curious
like so what are your thoughts on on this campaign and sort of what you guys are going to do to participate?
Yeah, I think we're working out directly how we want to participate in it.
But we just, like, personally, for me, I'm always excited when I see, like, base campaigns and, you know, people really spotlighting base builders.
Because I think that's really important because a lot of us have been building here for, you know, like, I mean,
since the beginning of base, right?
And I think like now is the time
for base to really get to the next level.
And I think we're seeing that, right,
with like the TBA launch
and then now Zora is really starting to take off.
Like the infrastructure is here.
So, you know, like what Spencer is building with Rova,
like it's really helping
like just kind of activate more users.
I think that's the big thing is like user activation in crypto
is always really difficult, right?
It's always super hard to get a user up and then using your app
and then like staying on your app, right?
Like that's always the most difficult thing.
And any tools that can help us do that, you know,
we really want to be involved with.
Super cool.
And I do have another question just because it's been key it's kept
popping up and up the do you guys have any correlation with hire the token or is it just
plain coincidence yeah it's just coincidence right because when we were thinking about
branding for higher right like we were like what, what is something that, you know,
we'll go along with meme point trading,
but people can talk about easily.
And then also something that we can create
like a brand around.
And we thought like the word hire was really good,
which is, you can see in our logo and, you know,
pretty much all the bold posting we do.
So we don't have any relation to the token actually.
So it's just like, I know it's confusing,
like multiple people have asked me but
it's we don't have any relation to them all right all right all right i pinned up um your pinned
uh post to the top so everyone make sure you check that out show some love you know whenever
we do these spaces and we pin stuff up there, it's for you to go check out these projects. But, yeah, share some likes and love and retweet that stuff because, you know, it's free.
All right?
You can invest in the projects.
You can trade.
You can swap into their tokens, whatever you do.
But, you know, this is free.
Like, this is why we're here, to help each other out.
So definitely tap in, literally, to the screens up top and start showing some love
All right. Well any other any other questions for hire or any other comments from hire about
Anything else you want to share with the with the space?
I'm good
We have our telegram full launch coming out pretty soon the telegram bot so we're excited for that
So we'll be we'll be tweeting when that happens.
And then we have some exciting trading competitions
coming up in August.
So yeah, stay tuned for that.
Oh, okay.
See, that's the alpha right there.
So trading competitions are coming.
That's where I need to figure out
what we can do to get involved.
So definitely, I'm going to definitely
pin that in my notes.
We're going to talk about the trading competition.
Hell yeah.
Okay.
All right.
You guys ready to talk about your Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ?
Because Christ's King is in the house.
You guys ready for this?
Yo, what's up, Eric? How you doing, man? Yo, yo. What up, for this yo what's up eric how you doing man yo yo what up quigs what's up mezcal appreciate you guys coin merge appreciate y'all coin merge is uh eating
hibachi right now i don't with his family i don't know what he's doing yeah excuse me for yeah hibachi
sounds great with family yeah we just we just traveled from Florida to Texas, and we're getting situated in Airbnb and stuff.
So, yeah, excuse some of the tardiness.
Christ sometimes comes at 11.59, but he always comes on time.
So, yeah, Quiggs, you know, what do you want us to get into?
I know we got OnChain Summit.
We're going to hang out with you guys.
You know, hopefully we're going to be interviewing Jesse at the end of the month.
We're setting up a media room out there with the executives, the base executives. Shout out to all
the stuff base is doing. Base is really just setting us up and on-chain to really just,
how do we serve more? How do we serve more of the community? We're looking to really
onboard, you know, I mean, there's 2 billion believers out there,
but for us, it's like, look, the people who like, I would say a 10th of those people,
those 2 billion, they like the joy. They like the memes. They like having fun. They're not as
religious. They're really just looking for, one, they have a relationship with God. They know that
there's a creator of all things, and they know Christ is king.
And at the end of the day, we can all bring this collective around and build technology.
We're working on just some really cool technology to bless people for doing what we already love to do.
Think the base app.
Think prayer.
Think habits.
Think co-creation.
Think sharing.
Think just building fun stuff, doing what people who pray and meditate already do, but getting paid for it.
Nobody's done it before they make you pay to do all these different things for our time and attention.
But in a DeFi world, in a nonprofit world, we could just bless people for doing things that are building actually good habits.
We could just bless people for doing things that are building actually good habits, you know, waking up, working out, praying, all those things, growing, growing our health and wealth.
And, yeah, there's going to be some cool things in the loop.
Quigs, I don't know if you can.
There's a few posts to go, one or two on my page, and the top pinned one on Christ on Chain, we have our roadmap.
So we just released our roadmap today,
guys. I want you guys to see it because it's one of the, it's one of the, if you looked at our
roadmap on our website, crisisking.io, you will see it was very just meme-y. It was just like,
you would think we're just a small team, just here for the memes, just here for kicks,
just here to have fun. But when you see our roadmap now,
people are really going to start paying attention. We just co-sponsored OnChain Summit,
their biggest package. You're going to see a billboard with base, our OnChain Summit and
Christ OnChain, Crisis King Coin. You're going to see billboards. You're going to see,
You're going to see we're at NFCNYC representing.
We've had a keynote and a booth out in Philippines Blockchain Week for thousands of people.
Not your everyday meme coin is sponsoring and flying the teams out to Philippines.
It's flying teams out to New York, flying teams out to San Francisco.
So this roadmap is going to start showing that, you know, we're on a mission.
And this mission is we're serious and we've got some really smart people.
And at the same time, we're also just we don't know what we don't know.
So we're working with people like Mezcal and Zora.
What's this new technology we're working with now, Quigs?
I don't even know all of it, but I'm like, it's amazing.
Crazy.
Zora.
Well, there's Rova.
Is that what you're referencing?
Oh, Rova.
Rova.
I don't know why I said Zora.
Sorry.
They tried to diagnose me with dyslexia back in the day.
This guy over here just spent the entire day driving.
If you've ever driven from Florida to Texas, you know the pain.
I mean, it sounds like you've got you're that you're wrangling up
over there so all good but yes we are excited to uh whenever i whenever this kind of kicked off i
was like i know a good project that would love to bull post and like get involved in the campaign
uh because you guys love spreading the good news, right? Like you love spreading the word. So what better project to get out there and use that technology,
use those tools to really, you know, share what your mission is.
So nothing but love and respect.
And, yeah, I'm glad you jumped in, man.
I did ping you guys pretty hard there.
So I want you to catch at least a a tail into the space so you can kind
of share what you're up to so um uh yeah i pinned up the road map uh so that is up there uh mezcal
did you have anything you wanted to um to ask or any any uh comments thoughts no all good crisis
came in hell yeah i almost said the wrong i almost said that the wrong way.
Old habits die hard.
But yeah, we love what you guys are doing and hit the ground running here.
I love to see a good cause and a good crew.
By the way, he kind of hinted at it, but I had a call with these guys, and the stuff that they actually have, that they have, uh, on the backend, uh, built, it's insane.
Like it's, it's, it's not ready for prime time just yet, but, uh, it's,
it's, uh, let's just say it's a whole nother state.
It's a whole nother, literally a whole nother level of, uh, of,
of stuff, uh, to talk about, but yeah,
glad you guys came through and caught the space.
Excited to kick this bull post campaign off today and get some of the community members involved and rewarded.
Because I don't know if you all have noticed this,
but the Crisis King community, they come for you.
When you post, they are all over it.
It's not even rating. i don't even think i'd
call that rating i don't know it's like a whole different thing preaching what's the biggest cult
in the world yeah you know they say build cult communities what's the biggest cult in the world
and you know onboarding a million people i mean jesse needs to onboard a billion our first goal
is a million and so like we can take some of that territory off jesse's plate and he's all right you guys are good you guys go take some of this hit a million then hit
10 million but just you know do the math we bring a million people on onto this meme coin and then
it's a mission and it's it's giving back it's blessing the ecosystem um it's gonna it's gonna
be a powerful vehicle that's all i can say say. And whether you're, whether you're like, and also just, you know, like I, a lot of us too, some of us are, are, you know, like DGens.
I'm, I'm a DGN, you know, grew up, I love Texas Hold'em.
I'm actually going to come for, come in on chain and play Texas Hold'em and try to knock some people out, some bounties.
some people out some bounties um i also you know i'm i oh yeah i it's hard to say but i i lost a
ton of money after trump and millennia a lot on solana and i was just like so defeated for a while
until some friends of mine were like hey we're gonna launch this thing and we're gonna do it
legit we're actually gonna make uh you know do something cool and awesome and i was like man
i was like i've been i've been in the trenches i needed some water and then i got to be a part of this project and it's bringing life to me and now we want to bring
it to life to other people because there's a lot there's a drought and meme coins especially at
least where i was at in solana and maybe we'll wormhole to solana or just tell solana people
bridge over to base like i did but hey at the end of the day it's like i'm uh you know i have
i'm a deejit at heart that needs you know, needs to, you know, not, not, I should have bought Fartcoin and I bought Fartcoin's derivative sister.
You know, you're like, you think you should, that's why, you know, we're the, we're the category king on base for faith.
You know, like we're going to be working with Bolide.
We're talking about like Bolide app, the number one, like base app to be like, hey like hey you don't have a you don't even have a category for faith let's go let's
build a new category of faith so we're pioneering something that no one's even doing in the space
and right now yeah we're the top you know right now but at the end of the day we have like a
million different copycats that think that they could just take our take our art and try to do a
derivative but at the same time it's it's like flattery because like, okay,
we're doing something right. We're pioneering. So anyways, yeah,
I guess in saying that I've learned by the, by the best ones, Murad was right.
SPX, you know,
he bought SPX and it finally went back up and he got back up to 50 million,
you know, in his portfolio. But anyways, I love crisis King.
Love all you guys. And I'm excited for the future for Web3 where the power goes back to the people.
Appreciate you, Quigs.
That was like when we talk about bull posting, that was bull speaking.
He's like, let's go.
Yeah, I mean, man, they're going to be really good at shilling.
They got a lot of good.
The pieces behind it is good. They got a lot of good the pieces behind it is good they got a lot a lot
of uh mouthpieces on that side okay uh well i think we've heard from all the projects that i
can that i saw i mean i think we had um a couple of rain checks uh so we'll probably run up another
space here maybe uh in the near future but uh what i want to give did we lose spencer again oh man
i just invited him back again yeah i'd love to just like spotlight him i know a lot of people
who are joining right now weren't at the beginning so i just want to have like a lot of give him a
little bit of another chance to just explain what we're running through what we're working with
everything else going on with rova uh in the next coming week so yeah spencer take it up man yeah exactly uh thanks for uh everyone
that's pretty cool to like actually hear more about what everyone's working on and uh
as kingdom said bullish pro bullish meme coins with like deep communities and like uh you know
tokenized religion i'm a big spx personally, as you can see from my handle.
But yeah, I overall wanted to say thank you to everyone for joining.
And, you know, for those that are just joining in, you know, we're running a big campaign
to celebrate all these different base projects.
Russell, Beesanji, Crisis King, Hire, all these different projects uh really want to just like
provide a venue to cross-pollinate each other's communities get you know each other's uh holders
degening and you know each other's tokens so uh in terms of what uh bowpost is doing exactly
it's super easy you know sign up for an account on Robot XYZ. If you guys have friends with referral codes,
definitely hit them up.
You'll get some extra points.
And, you know, just basically tweet bullish takes
about different startups, founders,
anyone that was participating in today's space.
And you can find more information
on like the exact list of projects.
There are a few folks that weren't able to join due to time zones, like the Dijun team,
et cetera.
So yeah, I think the main announcement blog post is pinned up top.
So yeah, so share some bullish takes about these startups, founders, help them with
distribution, really encourage you guys to have any original memes, videos, like theses
about why these projects are,
you know, awesome and why you're bullish about them. And, um, you know, next week we will pick
out the winners of the people who were able to get the best engagement from the bullish takes
and the ones who had the best, like, you know, qualitative, uh, takes as well. And, you know,
the winners will share a 10 K prize pool that, you know,
these different teams have put up. So yeah, that's kind of what we're doing right now for
both posts. And with regards to the rest of the robot platform, we'll be launching in about a
month or so and really trying to help, you know, these projects supercharge growth by aligning
the user communities with the project founders. So, you know, stay tuned for more details there and we'll be releasing more information.
And yeah, that's it on my side.
Spencer, before you leave, I know like a lot of platforms are doing something similar to what
bullpost is doing, have like a lot of issues with the quality of the content that goes up and like
of the content that goes up and how they get rewarded.
how they get rewarded.
And also how you can crack finding the best spot
on how to get the best rewards for the stock.
Is there any alpha we can give out to the people
as on how they can post a little bit better,
have a little bit more engagement,
what they can be speaking about?
Is it more educational content?
Is it any format in particular? Is it like any format in particular?
Is there any alpha that we can give out?
Yeah, for sure.
I think in terms of posts that perform the best,
I would say media content always does well,
especially like memes and like videos.
I highly encourage people create some like original like videos or images using you know
some of these new ai tools like vo3 and uh uh new journey and such i think you know there's a bunch
of like easy wins that you can do to like you know get ahead of the pack uh with these new tools so
i i personally have been using like vo3 a bunch to you know do advertising content and whatnot and
it just keeps me fun um i have a few threads uh that i highly recommend from like pj who made the calci video recently
uh he's like awesome at you know using um vo3 to create like really creative scripts and like
making like fun advertisements so highly recommend checking that out i can talk that in the in the
chat down uh in the in the thread down here and then uh in
terms of like more textual posts i would say like more longer form thesis of like you know how you
became um peeled into these different projects that you're bullish on or you know very deep
analysis on like you know the community or like you, why you think the token is going to do well or the project is going to do well.
Like those like long form qualitative posts always perform very well.
So that's some alpha with like how our algorithm performs and like how it
screens for posts. So, you know,
definitely encourage you guys to check out those two types of content.
Awesome.
All right, cool.
Yeah, everybody make sure to check out Roba
and follow Spencer, Roba,
and everybody who's like speakers right now.
Quiggs, what's up, man?
I mean, we've done, I think we did it.
I mean, we went through all the projects.
We heard from Spencer to kind of wrap up,
you know, sort of his final thoughts on the space
and on the campaign. And we got some good calls to action some good alpha
We had a lot of good conversation tonight
I know there's a few folks down here that might want to come up and say hello if you guys are okay with it
I know we kind of focused in hard on on Rova and the projects involved, but I can probably give a few more
Few more minutes to hear a few few folks from down below that want to come up.
But you guys certainly can get some sleep.
I know you guys are both probably ready to crash,
so no need to hang out if you need to call it a night.
But if you guys are good with that, I mean,
I'll probably just kind of pivot over to that for the next 15, 20 minutes,
and then I'll wrap things up.
Sounds like a plan.
Yeah, of course.
Thank you so much for joining.
Yeah, I think that
if you're not jumping on these opportunities
like this, you're missing out.
You heard tonight from
this is just the beginning, right?
This is the early
adoption stage of
Rova, so definitely tap
into what they're doing, shoot them a follow, get involved in the campaign.
Really, really looking forward to where we're at in a month when we see this new sort of
style of launching around startups.
It's really going to be cool to watch and see the first runners on that.
watch and see the first runners on that. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
But yeah, you guys, I know again, time zone wise, you probably want to go to sleep. So feel free.
I'll keep the space open for a little bit to say hello to the homies down below that are
requesting up. I'll get a few of you up here and then, yeah, we'll kind of close it down. But
any final thoughts, down but any final
thoughts spencer any final words um or or do you or if you want to just hang out and deejay with us
for a few minutes you're welcome to do that as well yeah um just want to say thank you guys for
being here and uh yeah appreciate you hosting us clicks and uh yeah i'll stick around for a bit i
also just tossed the uh vo3 thread that I mentioned in the spaces like comments.
Perfect.
Perfect.
All right.
Go check that out, everybody.
All right.
Let me see who's down here.
I've got to say hello to the friends that are here almost all the time.
Let's see.
I'm going to add Waldo up here to see what he's up to.
Haven't heard from Zeus in a while, so I'll pull you up. I know you got some NFTs cooking over
there. It's always good to have a doctor on the stage in case anyone's having any ailments,
any issues. But let's start with those guys. Waldo, we brought you up. Just wanted to say
hello, what your thoughts were on the space tonight, and then maybe give us a little quick update on what you got cooking over there.
Waldo's just got emojis tonight.
What's up, man?
No, it's hard.
It glitched a little bit.
How's it going, Quigs?
How's it going, Mez?
Yeah, we've just been cooking a little bit over here we just uh
smashed 52k so just wanted to shout out all the real ones for the grinding they've been doing and
uh yeah i'm gonna keep it short and sweet so it's good to see everyone and the space
fantastic as always i came up here about a year ago is a simple doodle and now look at me a year later repping it on chain
Summit PFP. Yeah, I'm super excited for what's coming down
I'm excited to find Waldo
It's like check out it's like a bucket list like check it off
You got to find Waldo. It's one of the first things when you get there
You can find you can find some people just by their voices
But I bet you Waldo's gonna have some kind of
Obvious
Waldo-ish stuff going on
But yeah man, looking forward to
Connecting at the summit
We got Zeus up here as well
Zeus, what's up doc?
Yeah
Technically I'm identifying as a mime today
So I'm not supposed to talk so i'm just gonna
do the emojis oh all right this is going well
this is going great guys we got wald up here we got emojis over here he's a mime
uh go check him out i could tell a story real quick i I mean, I was at a festival years ago, and there was a mime tribe, and I just mimed out with the mime tribe.
Stripes and stripes, real, no real.
Just got to give you a shout out there, brother.
Well, if I could talk and respond, which I'm not, I would say, wow, awesome, bro.
That sounds amazing.
I'm also a big Waldo fan.
In fact, the Damons have a Waldo trait.
I think it's a 3% rarity. And then, of course, when you get the 3% of the 3% that has the full Waldo with both the Waldo shirt and hat, now that's the rarity. That's the grail. into my wallet back a year ago because Damon's free minted on base back in June of 2024.
And if you've held early like
Quigley did, then the number has gone up to a whopping $3
to $4.20. And let's just say it can't go down
if I keep buying the cheap ones. Let's go.
Let's go. Let's go.
NFTs are coming back,
and they're coming back with the homies like Zeus out here grinding for a year.
Holy crap.
I can't believe it's been over a year.
Yeah.
This time last year,
I represented the collection with my man,
my man, Jimmy, at Pepe Fest.
We went to Beeple Studio down in Charleston, South Carolina,
and wrapped some of the
animated daemon art.
Got 3D traits
from the artist here in the past
month or so, so I'm going to play around
with those and we'll just see what happens.
It's nothing but 100%
IP and little
cute little devils that are
Waldos and Minions and
Charizards and such.
A shout out to King Baron down below.
Respect, man.
The NFT game, Zeus has been in the NFT space for a long time.
And I'm glad you did something on base.
And yeah, let's keep going, man.
I was saying earlier, I don't know if you were here for it, but I feel like it's coming, man.
It's the NFT season. We hitting this hitting that point again and if the og based
projects they need they need some love man so shoot that dude a follow check out his uh check
out what he's doing over there uh yeah i'm a long time holder as well like he said so
definitely love supporting the homies um boy we we're getting, I got to, okay. So the next thing, I brought up a project I don't really know.
So no disclaimer, I'm just going to say like,
welcome to the space, Panda, Panda Pump.
I think I might have seen you in my DMs,
but I haven't had a chance to respond.
I apologize, but you're welcome to hop in
and say hello to everybody.
What's up?
What's going on, Maze family?
Hey, Quigs, Mezcal.
Thanks for having me up tonight.
So, yeah, we are the new kids on the block.
So we are Panda Pump, and we launched on July 15th.
We are a meme token that is powered by our chief mascot, which is Pico Panda.
And Pico Panda is the head of all of the Panda Pals.
So when you join our community, you will become a Panda Pal.
POMP, our ticker symbol stands for Panda Pals,
promoting unity, meaning, and purpose.
We peaked out at about a million market cap at our high.
We have since had a fully diluted.
We have a staking platform that has been fully audited past two separate security audits.
We have one of those that are posted on our timeline.
We're going to release the second one in the coming days.
We have a few press releases to go out around that as well.
I'm currently yielding about 120% APY.
And outside of the staking platform and token, we have nfts which are are set to drop and you can
take a look at some of the nfts just take a look at my pfp we have two other ones floating around
on my profile this is a dual collection so that took like really um a lot of work for us to put
together so we have pandarinas which are female pandas and pandarinos which are male pandas
that collection is a deep collection i think it's going to be unlike anything crypto has ever seen together so we have pandarinas which are female pandas and pandarinos which are male pandas
that collection is a deep collection i think it's going to be unlike anything crypto has ever seen
over 500 backgrounds over 1 000 unique traits over 120 skins so we have pandas made of water
fire of gas ice snow zombie robot mutant on and on and on so we think it's going to be something special and the nft
is actually of utility as well so when you stake you stake your nft as well you earn 50 more apy
we're really big on building brand and intellectual property so if you take a look at the art quality
we've put a heavy emphasis on the quality of the art really trying to tap into pop culture with
our memes you know we have gifts that are dropping
as well and we just got our creator badge on giphy which we're going to drop that announcement as
well so we're kind of cooking in many different areas we are like the new kids on the block we
decided to build on base because of just you know i saw kind of you know it was going to be too
saturated to go on to solana everyone was on salon at the time so i said hey how do we get on something
that's cheap that's fast i started thinking like look at the user base of Coinbase. Base just seems to be a wonderful fit.
And even culturally, the way that Brian and Jesse seem to welcome everyone, I think we're in such
an early stage. And I will just say the last piece that makes me super bullish on base is what Jesse
talked about last night. If you are a native base token, you'll be automatically tradable on coinbase which i
think is phenomenal news for any creator builder or participant in this ecosystem so i'm super
thrilled um you know we're still with small following trying to drop in i mean this is early
stages for us for everyone else we want to go places and i really appreciate you guys having
me up to thank you very much man panda pump that was a good one so like he dropped uh they got press releases
staking uh nfts uh man like you put a lot of stuff into that and you did it and like i don't know
like you gave that whole thing and like i think it was like two minutes or something like that
that's a good that was good i like it you're welcome to come back definitely uh looking forward to digging a little deeper into what you guys are building sounds like
you got some ogs over there is what it sounds like all that stuff is like some of that stuff
is new stuff and then some of that stuff is shit that we did like you know hearing about a press
release i'm always like okay this person's been around for a while they're doing all the cool
stuff okay Really quick.
One more thing I want to tell you, or two more things.
We have two websites, the main one and the NFT site, which is going to drop soon with our mint.
And then separately, I just want to point out, this has been a labor and love of mine
for two plus years.
And I ceded all the capital.
I put up everything myself, including the locked liquidity.
It's locked for six months, willing to lock it for another six.
Theme allocation, very small.
It's been locked for a year.
We're quarterly vesting.
And yeah, again, two plus years of grinding.
I could tell the story another time of why it took so long, but there's a reason.
I really wanted to build something of quality that stood out.
We're competing for attention in this space, so I really had to do something that was differentiating.
So that's a little bit more of the story. I don't want to take up too much of the time but i just had to add that
this is not meant to be just a flash in the pan it's taking an inordinate amount of time to build
and we're just gonna keep building so thanks again guys for having us not a flash in the panda
you like that i kind of came up with that right in the moment i felt like i feel like i was feeling
it i don't know i was just like man i don't know. I was just like, man, I don't know.
That one's free.
All right.
You want any more of those?
I'm going to charge.
But no, welcome.
Welcome to Bass.
I took a risk.
I was like, I don't really know this dude, but I'll pull him up because.
I appreciate it.
I think that's what Bass is all about.
I think I really do.
So thanks for like kind of propagating that ethos and giving us a shot, a voice really appreciate it.
Yeah,
let's connect.
And I'd love to hear more about what you guys are building.
Definitely shoot him a follow.
And,
you know,
like,
you know,
we'll talk about disclaimers and stuff like,
you know,
check them out.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm not saying go buy stuff,
go do stuff like go,
go do your thing.
Take a look.
I think it looks cool.
Sounds,
sounds like he's been cooking for a long time.
Slow cooks are the best.
I mean, I told you guys at the top of the space we smoked ribs today because it comes out better, okay?
Takes longer.
You know, it's not like a quick thing.
But at the end of the day, you get a nice, nice meal, and it's well worth your wait.
your weight. So check them out. I invited Baron up here because I got to tell you guys this crazy
So check them out.
story that happened here Friday. So we talked about it a little bit earlier in the space.
I tried not to because, you know, obviously we wanted to focus the conversation on Rova and
the campaign and the projects, obviously, that are participating, which we still have Russell up here.
the campaign and the projects, obviously, that are participating,
which we still have Russell up here.
Shout out to you for sticking around for the DGEN segment of the space.
But I got to tell you, I'm super excited about what happened on Friday.
So the base app updated, right?
But I had access to the beta for a while and i was playing around with it you know
it's cool but i didn't really i didn't really fall in love with it completely where i was like
sucked in until i created a base uh cartel group chat now there's other group chats too and i'm in
those too and they're good but like i don't know i just love it because obviously it's a new place
for us to get together it's fresh um i didn't just like
token gated or there's nothing nothing like that it's just i just put people in there like if you're
part of the cartel you're in if i know you you're in if you ask nicely you're in we'll bring you
into the group chat right and so there's really i think there was like a hundred there's a lot
more now but there was like a hundred or so of us there on Friday. And Baron, who's up here now on stage, he's like,
hey, you mind if I do a little experiment?
And I was like, sure, man, go for it.
I think I said something to that effect.
Like, yeah, go for it.
Because, you know, I created the chat to experiment on the app
and like test it out.
So I added some bots, you know, Banker, obviously,
we're sending tokens to each other, you know,
doing little kind of like airdrops to each other in the chat, which is cool.
You know, but like a dollar here and there.
Definitely cool to use it, though.
I added Prediction Market Bot, and I think, or someone added that one.
And then I added a couple others.
And one of the ones I added was this Flaunchunchy bot because you can actually launch a token in there.
Now, when I put it in the chat, I was like, this is a little risky because, you know, people might just start launching random tokens out of here.
And I don't know.
You never know what's going to happen, right?
When DJs get bored and excited, they do some wild stuff.
And then I thought, well, maybe I'll do one and kind of kick it off. And then I was like, oh, that's probably not the right idea because if I launch one, everyone's going to think I just made the group chat to launch a token, right?
So I was like, I'll just wait.
I'll just wait and see if anybody notices the bot or wants to use it.
So it's an experiment.
Just wait and see.
And when he asked, I was like, yeah, dude, go for it.
asked I was like yeah dude go for it anyway so super cool because when he
launched it the bot allows you to split the fees up to whoever you want in this
case it was the group chat so like he split it between you know 100 and
whatever people are in the chat so as people are trading and swapping those
fees get put into essentially a pool that we can go in and claim throughout
the life of the token. So very cool stuff. Now, I will say the group chat, like I said,
some of the people in there kind of know what's going on and they can see it and they're
participating. And then there's probably like, I don't know, half of the people that are in that
group chat that either A, don't know because they haven't been following the chat or b can't
even see the chat yet because their app is glitchy and it's not quite working right so i'm working
with them to kind of streamline that and get that smooth out from the base side uh they're doing
constant debugging and sort of like uh planning a big update to fix a lot of that a lot of that
stuff but uh but the token launched and obviously, a token launched from a group like this,
you just never know. I mean, it's going to be volatile. There's nobody holding supply. People
are just kind of going with the flow. Flaunch is very cool. They use V4. It's new tech. A lot of
the bots, I mean, some of the trading bots don't quite work with it yet. So people are trying to figure out where to buy it.
A lot of the tools and resources that we use, like traditionally in the sort of meme space, don't work.
You have to figure out which buy bots actually recognize these tokens, etc.
There's just a lot, you know, there's a learning curve and sort of some friction there because it's a newer technology.
But I think I can speak for a lot of people that are in Web3 and crypto.
We love that kind of shit.
I mean, we're here for it.
It can be painful at times, but it's why we do this, right?
So I'm all about it.
I think it's a lot of fun.
And I want to talk about one thing, and I'll let Baron kind of take over.
But the team from Flaunch is really excited about this because I
don't know I think it was about a month or so ago I had a call with them and they showed me this
pitch deck they showed me kind of what was coming they have a phase two essentially they're going to
be coming out with here in the next month that essentially allows us to group together tokens
to create like flywheels and And now this includes existing meme coins.
You don't have to be part of their launch pad.
So like if Russell wanted to join or if our base cartel projects wanted to join,
we can put together a group and it creates that flywheel effect
where we can all share fees up to sort of like the community, right?
So very excited about this.
It includes creator coins.
That's the other side of it that's, I think, even bigger
because people are still trying to figure that out.
Like you have content coin, then you have a creator coin,
that ties to this, and they're still trying to figure out
the flywheel concept and how it all works.
But what Flaunch is doing is adding a whole other layer to that
and saying, okay, well, what if it's a group of creators
that want to create sort of a collective and like actually, you know, share in some of these fees that are generated and help each other out?
That's exactly what I think everything could end up being is sort of a hub community and an opportunity for like people that are coming to the base app that want to share their creator coins and share their content.
They can all share together as a collective,
and I think that's super powerful.
But Barron, you want to talk about your experience,
and I'll let you kind of hop in wherever you want
as far as the story goes.
But that's it in a nutshell from my side.
That's kind of what I saw.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, if you have been around me
in any part of the space, uh, whether that's
just in spaces or, uh, just in discords or telegrams or whatever, like I, I really do
just enjoy like kind of dreaming and just trying to like figure out what this technology can do.
And, um, you know, like sometimes I'll try something and it'll fail. Um, sometimes it'd go okay.
And sometimes, you know, it's just trying to tech and just trying to see what you can
I'm not a, I'm not a code, like I'm not a dev.
I'm not a coder.
I'm not somebody who has an extensive knowledge.
I'm just a, like, if there's a use case for, uh, on chain technology, I am it.
Like, I'm just a regular dude that, um, that just enjoys kind of pushing the
limits on this stuff. And, um, and so I would, I would a hundred percent agree with you that the
secret sauce to the base app is the group chats. Like it, um, the, the thread is going to be good,
you know, in, in terms of like the main thread, um, you the, the trading and all of that good stuff is going
to be, it's going to be great. But like, at the end of the day, I think the group chats and the
addition to the agents into the chats is where like, magic, magic is going to happen. Like,
I think the next meta for on chain technology is like like we're about to kind of experience it because,
you know, you get in that chat for the first time and you've got a group of, you know, six,
eight, 12 or 100 people. And, you know, you send you send everybody a dollar from BankerBot.
And it's it's a really neat experience. And you can you can imagine, you know,
having a group working on something and,
and just being able to like take care of one another and expose each other to like a different
token or a different ecosystem. And so in the group chat with, with you, you know, in the base
cartel group chat, like it's, it really is kind of a, it's, it's a really neat social experiment
in terms of who you have in there. Like you've got some great like builders in there. You've got some great marketers in there. You've got
just some regular guys like me in there, um, who are just on chain and, uh, just enjoy the
experience of it. Um, and, and I do like, that was one of the reasons I asked permission is like,
I did not want to like overstep and, and uh like start launching a token and it'd be
like oh man this is annoying um but it was really just kind of this idea of like what happens if you
can you know flaunch this coin and um and you know the the initial thought was it's it's a really
neat little meme it's a neat little meme um Um, if, uh, if you're listening
to Coinbase and what they're pushing, like they are there, the word that they are using over and
over again is everything that this app can do anything and everything that you need.
And, um, and so at first it was kind of like, I wonder if we can get a group to push this meme.
And then, like you said, it was about a day and a half, two days in the Flaunch team comes in
and says that they've got a huge update that they're about to push that's actually about to let this flywheel be something that you can involve more people into.
And so that's kind of like it started as this experiment meme coin opportunity, and now it's like, well, now it's almost dreaming time.
What can happen? And,
um, you know, there's a lot of room to fail still. Um, you know, it, it could go to zero tomorrow.
Um, but I do think like having a hundred people involved in it, like you don't have a single,
like a single point of failure. Um, you know tomorrow. I could take my tokens and disappear
tomorrow, but there's still 99 other builders in this chat that have the ability to take it and do
something amazing with it. It takes one community taking it and creating a powerful flywheel that generates, you know, that generates revenue that would absolutely change the game.
So I think, I think Flaunch, once these, once the base app goes like live, I think Flaunch is going to have a chance to be a part of the next meta.
Like similar to what we saw virtuals, you know, earlier in the year with the agents and launching agents and that being
something that takes off. I think that you're going to see like groups of people getting into
these group chats and launching projects together. And, and so, man, to me, it's about,
it's about experimenting. It's about pushing the limits, pushing the threshold. And really, what does the social experiment look like whenever you have a group of people that have the opportunity to work together and do something that's never been done before?
And so forever, the everything token will be the very first group, chat group launch token, and all done by an autonomous agent. Like, you know,
it was just a couple of prompts and an autonomous agent launched this token into existence. And here
we go. Yeah, I think you mentioned virtuals, but I also would compare it to like how Banker has
sort of taken over the X timeline with what they're doing. And I feel like it's a similar
thing, like to your point, like as you get into the base app,
you have Banker obviously to help you with transactions.
You have, there's some prediction market sort of bots
if you want to do some sort of betting
and that sort of thing.
But, you know, I think Flaunchy,
like we showed a way that it can be done
and it's really cool.
And so imagine, and again, to be clear,
I didn't create a chat to launch a token, but somebody is going to do that.
Yeah.
Someone's going to take the map, the plan, the blueprint here and say, okay, so 100 people or so launched this token and only like, I don't know, 25 or 30 of them even know what the hell's going on.
That's right.
Someone's going to form a group that's a little more focused in on it.
And I think ours will, too.
I think it's because we're in beta, and a lot of these folks are just kind of, like, floating around.
And you heard Toady earlier in the space.
I mentioned it to him, and he was kind of like, okay, I saw it, but I haven't really got in there yet.
And so he's still kind of figuring it out as well, right?
So, and so, but, you know, it takes us, and, us and like you know we'll definitely use our platforms
to talk about it i want to be clear i mean i think it's uh as you mentioned an experiment right i
think yeah everything we do on chain is really an experiment right i mean that's that's it but i
100 guarantee you uh as the base app continues to grow and people get onboarded, especially as they open up the full thing, I mean, it's going to be – there's going to be groups launching tokens.
I mean, that's just going to happen.
There's going to be a group chat made just to launch a token.
That's what its whole sole purpose will be.
And that is not necessarily what I did with this at all, but it is cool to see it.
And I love seeing sort of the reaction from
the people that are excited about it. Bill from late night, he's really bullish on it. I saw
Million Bit was down there, who's down there in a crowd. He clipped up some of the space earlier.
He's sharing that out. I mean, that's how you, that's decentralized economy right there. That's
what we want. That's right. It's the eth want. You know, it's the ethos, right?
Like it's the ethos of, of what we all have kind of fallen in love with kind of this ability to,
to spread out risk. And you know, like I said, I would, I would caution everybody. It's going to
be super volatile where there's no, no way to get around the volatility. And, and so like,
just understand that. But like, if that but like if launch like if the
vision of what they're talking about like is there and like man they like it pulls off in a very clean
easy way like i do think like it's going to be another thing to experiment with and to uh to
just push and to see how far you can take these things. Um, so like I said, I'm, I'm really
excited about it. Um, I mean, it, it really has been, um, you know, it, it kind of went from meme
to like, okay, like dream and like, let's see, like, let's see what can actually be built on
this thing. So, um, and I wasn't going to hop up on your space, uh, honestly, like I know, uh, I,
I do appreciate, you know, you know the time to hop up here
um but i definitely you know um like i i love to listen to the other projects that uh that you had
earlier so i appreciate the time and shout out to king baron not just for everything but also
everything else and i did an experiment where baron said let's do an experiment and i threw 20
bucks at a 5k market cap token and
said hey baron text me when i'm rich and he hasn't texted me yet so uh i think i'm pre-rich
no dude all experiments that's an experiment dude like you can't be mad about an experiment
that's the rules you're a scientist he's a doctor he knows the rules about experiments he knows he
knows how it works he's practicing medicine you know you threw your money into the wind bro that's that's not his fault
well that's the thing imagine the story because like when i got in in 21 um that's when she
ran from you know what 100 200 million up to uh you know 40 60 billion i mean that was wild right and um that's what you're
hearing the store is like you know on cnbc and fox business was oh it started off with dude as a joke
and then now you know blah blah blah well like let me tell you that the shiba inu dgen that bought
like what 5k or shib and then it rugged for six months and it went to like pennies never chad never sold and then
the next year is worth multiple billions of dollars so listen this is the place where it
can happen you have to assume it's all going to go to zero but then you come back one day and you're
like oh there must have been a team behind that everyone else said it was a shit coin it would
go to zero but it didn't and um if you sell that, if you sell dust, you're not going to make it.
You're not going to get the ribs.
That's right.
I did post up, if anybody wants an opportunity to go, you know,
have your shot at $10 of everything, there's a little tiny tap game up top.
All you got to do is click that, and highest score, highest score by,
I don't know, whenever I look at it, I will, I'll shoot a winner, $10 of everything.
Okay, who got 194?
And how did you cheat?
That's right.
I got 194 on that thing.
I tried earlier.
I got 20 or something.
Like, I guess there's something wrong with me.
I don't know.
My kid gets 59.
And I picked the most agile kid.
And I'm like, fuck off.
I think the most I've ever gotten, I've gotten up to like in the 80s before, but that's about
as far as I've gotten.
But whoever.
Are you using two fingers?
Because that's cheating.
I, the way that I do it is I use my thumb.
That's what I've done.
So whoever.
Like you're slapping the bass.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
That's my, and obviously I'm not as good as some other people but uh it is there it's a fun little thing if you haven't
played remix here's a plug for remix man they uh that is a really cool project on farcaster and
bass app so um it's probably one of my favorite like i play it every day so um so there's a little
plug for them as well some love for another
project uh by the way I see nft kid I invited you up here if you can speak you're welcome to come up
uh shout out to the legend down there for uh setting setting up the uh telegram for uh paying
for the decks and really just rallying the the the whole timeline you know we we couldn't have had such a a great start without
you man so feel free to pop up man no nft kid right out of the gate i mean it was like i mean
not even a hesitation and if you go look at his uh i would encourage everybody go check out azora
um the the dude is putting out content like crazy and his creator coin uh so make sure to uh check him out waldo
as well um i mean right uh the first night i here's the thing i'm telling you guys like i am not
a tech dude i'm not uh you know super like uh behind the scenes but uh like dude they hopped in
helped me get the telegram in i'm i'm going man i hope these guys don't scam me somehow
yada yada yada but dude they've crushed the telegram um it's it really is moving and uh the
same with the x and the dex uh deck screener as well i would have never known how to do uh the
deck screener and so nft kid definitely grabbed that and uh ran so appreciate anybody who's done
anything like again like this isn't my project it's not uh
it's not the baron's project this is the project of you know over a hundred people and uh there's
ownership in in terms of like everybody has like everybody has the opportunity to do with that do
with it whatever they want and uh to build on it however they want. And so it's decentralized.
It's actually a decentralized project.
And I think, what is it, like 0.9% that everybody is receiving or something like that?
Of the fees.
Yeah, the fees that are generated from the trading are what we're talking about.
It's not an allocation. There's not everybody got 1% of the token or what we're talking about. It's not an allocation.
There's not everybody got 1% of the token or anything crazy like that.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
In fact, everyone has just been buying tokens like everyone else.
And that's why when Baron was talking earlier about that token, there's no supply control.
It's going to be volatile.
It's going to take some time for those floors to like sort of like cement themselves especially when some of those you know folks that got in early
you know just just you know behave like dgens and dump their whole bag in one one one cell
but you know they come they come they come like every single time guys like every single time
these tokens launch even the big ones like those folks come through and they i don't know i always
i've been in this a long time i'm 43 i don't i don't let it get to me i'm like these guys are
just going to show up they're going to swing trade they're going to clip for and then you always go
why would anybody ever do that like why would you do that why would you just dump you know all of
your tokens in one you know i want i don't there's no answers you don't know their financial situation
you don't know their that's right you don't know their, you don't know what's going on.
And are they just D bags?
Maybe probably most likely, but, but you know, they could also be like, you know, behind
on house payments and paying back taxes or whatever the heck's going on.
So I'll just say like, uh, who don't worry about that.
If you think this is a cool story, you like the narrative um it is a unique opportunity
because like baron said i don't think there probably has been like tokens obviously launched
out of group chats in general but not on the base app yeah definitely not with a fee split
done all on chain where it's completely transparent you can see it and it's certainly
using innovative stuff that leads to with flaunch's v4 hooks, some really cool opportunities.
And I'll go back to this one more time.
One of the big sort of like unlocks with this group concept are NFTs.
So it's not just tokens that are in these groups.
They're NFT projects.
And there's things that we can do to help, you know, help these NFT projects that are looking for ways to incentivize and reward their holders. So, you know, you can create groups
with tokens and, you know, I've always loved the concept of 404s. I mentioned it earlier,
hybrid tokens, where there's sort of a combination of token and NFT, but, you know, some of that
stuff is complicated and hard for people to digest. But this is going to be super easy because it's literally we're going to form a group and everyone's going to eat.
Everyone's going to, you know, sort of share in the love and support each other.
That's it.
Really simple concept.
You're not talking about liquidity pools and, you know, tokenized, you know, buying fractions of an NFT.
And then, you know, that gets complicated for some people.
I like it but
not everybody does obviously so yeah so i'm excited i think it's going to be a big piece of the
sort of like next level up nft kid i want to shoot the mic over to you brother you came up
we were sharing we were giving you flowers there i just wanted to let you uh chime in man and say
what's up yo yo yo yo yo yo what's good yo um yo this is fucking bass bro um i'm working like on a
million things and i you know i'm a freaking sales manager for this you know slave ship that i run
uh carnival cruise line and it's like you know it's a fun ship it's fun but like i have a day
job believe it or not uh very very crazy but just, I'm addicted to making stuff, bro.
Like, I'm making art for my creator coin.
I'm making more stuff for everything.
But it's cool to see everybody just here stepping up.
You know, it's a community thing.
I'm just happy to be in the fucking group chat and know what's going on because I'm looking at it.
And there's, like, bro, there's, like, $2,500 that hasn't been claimed yet.
So, like, it's pretty wild to see this because I feel like once people actually realize,
yo, we're actually, you know, able to claim, like, I think it's like up to like 40 bucks
right now.
That's, that's pretty based if you ask me.
So I'm looking at it here now.
I'm on the actual blockchain.
There's $2,572 and 86 cents reporting to be claimed. The last one was
39 minutes ago. Before that was
5 hours ago.
So we just, I think, spread the word.
Get more people kind of understanding
that they're in this group chat.
There's more people that will freaking just claim the fees
and put that in the token. Why not? See what it does.
Send everything
on base. I love you all. Keep doing what everybody
is doing
and you know the kid is here so whatever y'all need just let me know appreciate you man
bullish all right we just hit like the two hour mark right on the money uh we heard from some
amazing projects tonight uh had a really great conversation i heard from oh zoo sorry you got your hand up doc what's up
yeah i just want to let uh baron know that i i built an army of nanobots uh with 3d printed
fingers and i got a high score um i put my screenshot up to the top um and so feel free
to send me uh ten dollars damn everything 6920, it's over. Is that real?
Is that real?
I can't put a shot of the net out of this.
Is that real?
You're sending Zeus $10 and everything.
You know what? If you don't send $10
to Zeus, I'll send it because that shit is
hilarious.
It's a completely legitimate non-AI score, too.
100%.
Yeah, you get that right on the money, 69, 420, boom.
You get $10
in everything.
Everybody gets them everything, right?
That's the motto. Everyone
gets everything.
Let's go. By the way, if you're
on the base app, if you're in the beta, and you
want to join the cartel, hit me up. I will
get you in there, and then you can
help us test and experiment
and break stuff and do cool things.
Definitely looking forward to growing that side of the community up.
I just want to end the space on a couple of notes.
The base cartel, we mentioned something like a few weeks ago
that there's some big changes headed our way.
Not quite ready
to announce those just yet can't leak anything but it got even crazier is all i'm going to say
like the things that we were talking about they're still happening um it's really exciting stuff
but then some other shit happened uh all all in the same uh sort of time frame and now
yeah uh it's all going to come together i think probably by onchain summit
is when we'll probably be making announcements uh but all i can say is um yeah we're leveling up man
like in more ways than one so super excited about it um i i love what's happening on the base app i
love what's happening with creator coins so i'm still gonna find ways ways to bring that in. I do think what Flaunch is doing is a great way to do that,
so I'll be definitely tapping into that and trying to figure out, you know,
exactly how we want to work together to make that happen.
I think everything would be a good vehicle for that for sure,
and, of course, it's going to be backed by the cartel,
and we're going to do everything we can to, you know, reward our holders and join the fun.
Right. So I'm looking forward to that.
But yeah, this this these next few things that come for us, these next few chapters, I'm really excited about because maybe maybe I could finally walk out NFT kid.
Like I told you in the chat the other day in our DMs, I was like, I just really want to walk the app out today because
I mean, he's a doc. He knows what
the pharmacist's like. You guys see this. We're like in a
fishbowl. You can see us back there. We're just
struggling. Okay. Struggling
profession. And I would
absolutely love to go part
time and not have to do that for
50 hours a week and get called in
on my day off when I'm trying to smoke ribs
and have to go work for five hours for no reason because nobody else can work.
It's not my thing.
I don't like it.
Absolutely.
Hey, did you hear that Arkansas made Ivermectin ATC?
And what are your thoughts?
Say that one more time.
The state of Arkansas, Governor Sarah Sanders signed into law topical ivermectin over the counter without a prescription.
Oh, that doesn't surprise me.
I mean, that they would do that.
Because it's really not about it's not really about the, you know, does it work or does it not work or what is it good for?
It's really more just like a almost like a political stance.
Right. Like they're really trying to it's about votes. you know, what is it good for? It's really more just like a, almost like a political stance,
right? Like they're really trying to, it's about votes. And so that's the part that bothers me,
whether or not I, we could sit down and debate, you know, whatever the best medical use of something is and whether or not it should be accessible to people. And, you know, in one
country it is, in one country it's not. We can have those conversations, but I think when people make decisions about health care just to get votes or just to appease,
whether you're, whether I'm on the right or the left, doesn't matter. I'm not a fan of that,
right? So that's my thoughts on it. It's really not even about like clinical, you know, use or
like what the data and the research says. I'm just more on the
can we not just force these things down people's throats because
we want to make points or score points with our base.
Not a fan of that stuff. Here was my first thought.
At least my patients won't be taking horsey warmer from tractor supply now.
Maybe it's a proper dose and they're not taking some
tub of paste and just
missed a, you know, dose.
But Wild Towns to be alive. You heard it here.
Quigs.base, CoinMerge.
Shout out to you guys. The Baron.
Where is Waldo? There he is.
Russell's dog
of Brian. Bullish.
Love dogs.
Some cats are okay. Um, love dogs. Um, some cats are okay.
Um, Miggles for life.
He's a Miggles guy, I guess.
I'm, I'm, I'm not, I love Miggles.
And they're, they're like really, uh, like I'm, I'm tight with some of those dudes.
But I kind of, I don't know.
Like from a meme standpoint, I've kind of always favored Toshi just because he's more like, for me, he's like more of a meme-y kind of guy.
Like, Miggles is more serious, like he's like a real piece of IP, he's a real cat.
Yeah, I mean, Coinbase tweeted out Miggles, man.
I mean.
I know.
You know, like, what's more bullish than the largest DeFi, almost crypto company in the United States about to launch the base app that tweeted out a fucking contract address for Mr.
Miggles and then a picture of a cat.
I don't know if you aren't holding bags of these things,
hoping that one day some bridge asshole is going to engagement farm and pump
their bags.
You're sure I'm playing the casino,
right?
Facts.
And like I said, I love the Miggles guys and Perlaps.
I think the IP stuff, that's kind of where I was headed with that,
is what excites me the most about Miggles.
Not necessarily the cat, because I have a cat that looks like that,
and I don't know, I don't love it.
It's like a pug, you know?
It's like, on one hand, they're cute, and they snort and all that,
but they're kind of ugly, right?
I mean, at the end of the day, compared to that beautiful Russell dog right there, right?
Look at that thing.
Is it Nikita?
I think it's an Nikita.
It's a pretty dog, right?
Hey, speaking of dogs, I'm sure you've had interactions with the Miggles artist for the NFT collection.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you seen the Brett NF nfts that he just
took over the contract address for okay no i actually don't even do anything with brett
not no okay yeah so yeah here's the thing it's not anything to do with the token um so the miggles
artist um did some artwork for this brett nft collection like a year ago before miggles minted and like it didn't
mint out and apparently back a few days ago he reached out to the owner and was like hey
i'm interested in taking you know taking this over do the mint whatever so he tweeted out to
his community now i didn't see that till like the next day so i had to buy him on secondary
but they minted out a few days ago and i think they're still trading at like three dollars or 250 or something right and so like so that's when i bought miggles
last year and they were at two to six dollars and i was buying floors for for two bucks and i was
like oh that's cute art you know i didn't know anything else i bought all kinds of art that went
to zero right and then i saw a crown for six bucks and then it's like
my top miggles crown offer at one point we was like 0.13 eith on a six dollar nft in a bear
market on base so it's like that when that artist you know said hey we're doing the dog and it has
nothing to do with whatever the token and the other kind of stuff and it's like okay there's
the brand there's the artwork that's supported by a community people to bullshit on the art so anyways
if you haven't been paying attention and you like uh you know that group that artists i've always
had good interactions and you know with their community and their people oh that's cool and i
wasn't trying to uh say anything negative necessarily about Brett. I've just never been in that ecosystem.
I don't even know.
Actually, I don't even understand.
I know the why.
Everyone will come and tell me,
well, it's because of this,
but I don't really get it.
I will talk to you about Matt Fury on Another Space.
I think he's a good artist,
and I understand he created Pepe,
and that is the biggest meme on the planet.
But, like, I don't really understand the other characters being relevant.
I mean, other than, okay, well, Matt Furry also drew, he also drew this, he also drew that.
I've just never been, like, completely clear on that.
And, again, if you vibe with it, it's fun, you like the art, that's all good.
I just, I'm not really sure I understand sometimes.
Matt Furry's not the reason why.
It doesn't make sense, man. Like, it's all retrospective.
Knowing the narratives that win and survive, it's survivorship bias.
So you got to pick those ahead of time.
But anyways.
I'm going to stop before I get canceled for talking bad about Brett.
Yeah, yeah. Because he's like, they're going to come at me now.
They're going to be at onchain
summit probably and be like i heard you were saying some stuff about us i'm like how'd you
even know and they're just gonna be like oh i looked down in the crowd zeus is defending brett
and quigg was like i don't know man i like this they got spies or something actually that's what
that's why you know why i don't i don't do a whole lot of brett it literally has nothing to do with
like i know there's like fud and stuff about how they you know how they launch a token who holds supply blah blah blah but i really honestly the reason is is because
they don't fuck with me like i don't i don't see them any i don't see them anywhere i don't even
see them in my i don't see them in my spaces i don't see them on the timeline if i want to see
something from brett i gotta go hunt it down and i don't know why maybe it's just the algorithm
you know knowing i'm not looking for it i have no idea but it's just been algorithm, you know, knowing I'm not looking for it. I have no idea.
But it's just been like that for a while.
I met a couple of people at OnChain Summit last year, and they were super cool.
I'm sure they do a lot of great stuff, and I would be happy to, you know, chat with them.
But it just never really happened on more than just that one time at OnChain Summit.
But all right, so on that note, I do got to wind this down.
I actually told the wife I'd only be like an hour or so tonight.
But then we got into chatting.
I saw some people in the space, and I was like, okay, I'll go for a little longer.
But here we are, two hours and ten minutes in.
So I got to wind it down.
Yes, NFT kid, I see your hand up.
What's up, brother?
Yo, really quick before you end up, bro,
I just want to give a big shout out to my boy Waldo.
He's, you know, for real, really killing it.
So appreciate you, Waldo.
Appreciate you, Baron.
And you as well, Quigs, for just what you guys are doing for everything.
But, Waldo, you're killing it in the Telegram, bro.
I know, you know, even me having an IRL, you know, Baron IOL and Quigs IRL,
you're there. So really appreciate you, brother, because I know what it having an IRL, you know, Baron IRL and Quig's IRL, you're there.
So really appreciate you, brother, because I know what it's like being in the TG, you know, trenches.
It's not easy.
But I think we've got to set it up pretty well.
So the foundation is great.
Appreciate you, Waldo, for being there and doing your part as well, brother.
But everybody else as well, you guys have a great night.
Quig, thank you for bringing me up.
And let's keep going.
Let's bring everything to everyone
and take this to the top.
Are you bringing a cruise ship to San Francisco?
He's bringing everything, okay?
He's bringing everything.
I just got to give you
the love, bro.
Have a good night. Much love
to everyone.
You got to believe in everything, okay?
That's all it is. Some people say believe in something, right? That's true. You got to start in everything. Okay. That's all it is. Some people say believe
in something, right? That's true. You got to start by believing in something like that's the beginning.
But if you want to level up and you want to take your life in the right direction,
you got to start believing in everything. Okay. Everything. Think about it. All right. It just
makes sense. All right. So that was my show for the night. I had a good time tonight.
Like I said, a lot of great alpha, good announcements.
What Rova's doing is super bullish, I think, for the space.
We need that sort of professional launch pad, I think,
that really works closely with startups to help build community around those startups.
That's literally why I think on-chain is a better mechanism versus
even Y Combinator and some of those traditional incubator startup machines that are out there.
And those are like billions and billions of dollars being thrown around out there.
Why not move that all on-chain? I think these guys are on the right track. I can say that
I'm excited to kind of work in that same space. I want to do things on the right track. I can say that I'm excited to, you know, kind of work in that
same space. I want to do things on the same level as it relates to like incubating and helping
founders and builders, you know, find, you know, make their dreams come true. I think that's what
we should be working on together, whether it's in little group chats where we start kicking off some
fun stuff in the trenches, or if we're doing stuff with like, you know, the next billion dollar Uber,
you know, comes on chain.
Like, I'm good.
Let's do it all.
Let's do everything.
All right, y'all.
Stay based.
Have a good night.
We'll see you next week.
