Thank you.γθ¦θ΄γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγγ Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. Π‘ΡΠ±ΡΠΈΡΡΡ ΡΠ΄Π΅Π»Π°Π» DimaTorzok You're a sucker for it.
Who is a friend? Thank you. Thank you. Baby bear on the beat. Thank you. Baby Bear on the beat
Hello, BM, and furthermore, Uga buga to all my Beras out there.
It is time once again that we Berra Berra, and what a beautiful day to Berra Berra indeed.
I, for one, have been completely overtaken by this severe and frankly quite serious,
what do you even call it?
A mental illness called Tedism.
Does anyone here in the audience relate to my Tedistic takeover?
Searchy, how are you?
Can you relate to the TED-ism today?
Exactly the response I would expect
from a TED-istic bearer.
That's it.
That was my whole take.
Yeah, no, I am all TED-ed out, if that's it. That was my whole take. I'm all tetted out if that's possible.
I'm enjoying the memes.
Memes are very entertaining.
Using community-generated memes is a very funny idea.
I hear that someone on the team actually went through and
hand-selected all 8,888 community memes out of like 60 odd thousand.
So that's a job.
Yeah.
How do you like, how do you reckon they put that on their resume?
Tedistic meme selector?
Tedesure?
Like a connoisseur, but tedism?
OCD, but in a good way.
Yeah, whatever willpower it would take to hand select nearly 9,000 out of nearly 70,000 memes.
Couldn't be me, but all the best to those that can do that.
be me but all the best to those that can do that yeah i thought it was actually such a cute idea
to have all of the memes as the placeholders and the fact that they're all uniquely chosen
is extraordinary like honestly i think that this is the most well done and fun NFT mint that I've seen in a long time.
So I'm deliriously optimistic on the future of Steady Teddy.
And I'm not just saying that as a bag holder.
That being said, if any of you dump her low floor price,
I will find you. She will will she's good at it that being said i
feel like they've done a little bit of a master class in because they've been around for months
at this stage and it's not often that you see nft collections hold attention for that long
like it's quite it's quite impressive overall like even jenny's attention like jenny's wearing
a steady teddy if that's that's quite a big deal.
Because getting Johnny's attention for that long.
Wow.
Okay, well, what the heck, you guys?
Like, we didn't talk about this beforehand.
I would have shown up with my teddy as my PF.
But now I feel like it's like I'm just, I would be conforming.
So I can't do it now, but like, what the heck?
We could have planned this out.
Yeah, that is true.
That is true.
I mean, I didn't change anything.
So I think it's entirely on Jan.
I'll see how we-
I think, yeah, to be fair, yours has been that
for quite some time, but.
Janie, you didn't tell me that we were changing our PFPs to Teddy.
I mean, my Shiro one of one is exceptionally beautiful.
And this is like my default PFP.
But I have a really nice Teddy.
I kind of missed that train, huh? The train has left the station, and it left me behind.
Your silence speaks for me.
Henlo!
Henlo!
What are we talking about uh i was uh i was just uh talking about the the rise of tedism
on the timeline today and we were having a bit of a back and forth about just the absolute
master class in marketing that teddy has shown all of us and like community building and everything
it's been amazing oh shit shit i miss
this what so what is it there's this project i don't know if you've ever heard of it it's called
steady teddy it's like kind of a niche thing oh um what's their thing sorry uh their thing is being
Their thing is being
Extremely
Tedistic
And that's kind of it
So they're
Hang on what?
Are they
Like Ted Talk
Super fans or what's the deal?
You know
I think if SteadyTeddy gave Ted Talks
The world Would either be a better place or a much worse place.
That's up to debate.
The jury is out on that one.
But they've basically revolutionized the memetic presence and powerhouse of the Ber eco with their nearly 70 000 community-made memes
wow that sounds cool i have no idea how i missed it yeah a big number i mean i can't count that
high because i only have 10 fingers and toes but it sounds like a very large number nice
It sounds like a very large number.
Nice.
And how are you today, Jani?
Welcome to Barra Barra episode 19, everyone.
Woo-hoo!
So it's 19 plus one, isn't it?
Because Jani was autistic and numbered the first one zero.
No, real talk though, to to to speak to searchies point i'm not sure i've ever seen
a collections pre-reveal be um 8888 community made memes um as the as the reveal are so i i haven't seen that before i just um if you don't know uh what
daddy teddies are and you're in web3 i would really love to navigate uh twitter in your um
uh algorithm bubble it must be fascinating but so far as i can tell it was let's say in the early days
Honeycomb and Raymond crew maybe brought newer folks in and then of late over the last year
then it was kind of baddies did a really good job you had puffpaw up there but certainly over the last six months um teddies teddies a bit builders um have
been some of the foremost uh emissaries is that what they're called envoys uh that have really
broken the um boundaries of what we previously thought of as as bearer culture um they're just really good at making memes i have
to say like i still distinctly remember the first moment that um one of their memes came across
jenny's timeline and i immediately stopped and clicked through on their profile because i was
like wow this feels really different than anything else
in the meme sphere in the BeraEco. And then I was very enamored by their banner,
which was this really funky looking teddy in a funny hat chained up in something,
I can't remember if it looked like a train station or something,
and it said, I am not the same bearer as I was one PFP ago, and it really spoke to my heart.
I believe I messaged them at that point, I was like, I don't know who you are, but I really like this.
and at some point
got Tedism
and it turns out
I thought the antidote was Bullis
and in a big way
it's been particularly
effective
but it appears that Tedism
once acquired lays dormant
and so apologies for not warning you ahead of time but it appears that Tedism once acquired lays dormant.
And so apologies for not warning you ahead of time.
I myself was not planning to have the Tedism resurface, I see.
So I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for my loss.
But here we are.
Yeah, I concur with those thoughts and beliefs in terms of uh the just like the the fresh change of pace I don't know if that's the right phrase of their memes I feel like they were really able
to harness the like this perfect marriage between like a Remiglio-esque shit posting but like with
the barra eco culture and i think that they've just honestly done such a bang-up job of like
obviously bringing in a whole new crowd of people into the eco um but also just like really establish and build upon the bariculture
of memetics.
Onboarding go brrrrr in conclusion.
I'd take the other side of the, I agree with your first part.
And I'd add on, they understood the NFT landscape.
Because as we know, prior to, let's say, September, October of last year,
a lot of the stuff happening in the Barachain NFT landscape was kind of a bubble relative to the wider NFT
world. And when Teddies came in, they kind of
understood, for example, the whole kind of
honoraries arc. And a lot of the people they were doing honoraries
for were kind of people
who, let's say, are kind of hubs of networks,
but more on the NFT world side of things.
And, of course, we can say that the initial zero to one moment
where there was honoraries being done for kind of stores of the bearer eco.
It wasn't very long at all before you started getting really quite well-respected folks from
the wider NFT scene. And I think that it was that kind of barbell strategy of the
just fucking retarded memes that were funny kind of goofy would make
you laugh drawing on deep internet history but also contemporary stuff the speed at which they
churned out it's a good thing that they have 420 meme makers on on on on payroll but then also at
the same time this kind of like i would say it's more the highbrow approach in the NFT landscape of a bit paying your dues, a bit paying tribute, paying the dons.
But then of course the way that works with algorithms and stuff like that, looking back at it, I can kind of see how it rolled out and that was a really fresh approach for a Barren Native project but clearly
they knew their shit and it worked. I agree it was a masterclass. It's been a ride, it's been a time. It's been a trip. Yeah, I'm really excited for the reveal.
If everyone could just do me a favor and manifest that I've minted a one-of-one, that would be great.
Thank you for your services today.
What if it's a one-of-one, but it's like the ugliest one in the collection, would you still be happy?
Okay, you kind of stumped me on that one.
Because on one hand, one of one is rare, is good.
one of one is rare is good.
But on the other,
aesthetic is not just aesthetic.
Aesthetic is lifestyle.
So, you know, I think I would still be happy
because then I could sell that one of one to someone and then buy a teddy
that speaks to my soul you know like my forever teddy I want to find my forever teddy
is there any universe around which you would change your entire identity to like ugly max and then try to
establish a aesthetic zone of desire around this this new standard of um uh the the kind of the the most tragic inheritance becomes the highest spiritual wealth?
Is there any universe in which I see becomes a champion of the unfortunate teddies
as their, I don't know,leaders the wrong word champion is a
good way of putting it uh you know i i'm i'm such a kawaii connoisseur a cute core maxi
i can't imagine a universe in which I would look at something that is objectively ugly
and think, oh yeah, that's it.
But I am a champion of personalized aesthetic belief in that what I find just peak is not necessarily the same as what other people
find peak. And so I would say yes and no as a non-answer to essentially mean that I could see a universe in which I embraced something that was
not classically believed to be the cutest, but in my opinion, it is. And at the end of the day,
my opinion is all that matters. Just as your opinion is all that matters at the end of the day, my opinion is all that matters. Just as your opinion is all that matters at the end of the day for your life and so on and so forth, I think.
Yeah.
Those were words.
Would you be the champion?
I learn something new every week, I see.
Would you be the champion of the unfortunate teddies?
Of course. you know me if it's the most chaotic thing uh i i can't you know i'd have to see um choose choose the chaotic path um have we told the folks uh
Have we told the folks what Berra Berra is? I missed the first five minutes.
If you're new here, the last 20 episodes we dissect in intimate detail each aspect of Steady Teddy culture.
This is a Steady Teddyeddy podcast called Berra Berra. We have up on stage Berasearch. He's our foremost SteadyTeddy academic.
He does a lot of stuff with crayons.
And up on stage we also have Icy.
Icy is our in-house SteadyTeddy eugenicist out there to try to purify the SteadyTeddy line.
And I'm Jani. I'm a SteadyTeddy gardener.
So welcome.
It's like this every week.
So welcome.
In fact, back to one of you.
I'm glad that I let people know what this space is about.
Thank you for putting me down in the history books as the Teddy Eugenicist. I'm sure that will age very well for me.
Welcome. welcome yes as uh as jenny mentioned you know we're here to talk bera actually bera bera about bera
and of course bera bera as i'm sure most of us now know is a japanese term that essentially means
to yap endlessly which is exactly what we're here to do. Usually how the structure of these spaces
breaks down is in the first half, we'll gatekeep the speaker positions to talk amongst ourselves,
and then toward the latter half, we'll open up the floor to anyone that would like to join us
in our Barabara. If you have questions, comments, concerns, or if you just want to give us your very best ooga booga.
Searchy, is there anything that you've been like looking into recently? For me, you know,
between baritone and then the upcoming Teddy Mint, well now past Teddy Mint,
that's really all I was paying attention to.
Something that I quite enjoyed over the last couple of days is that,
I don't know if you've noticed this, but on the timeline,
I feel like it's become, you know how self-shaming is this big thing in crypto?
Because there's this interesting thing of you buy into a bigger part
of something but then if you sell the things you are maligned and kind of treated as no longer part
of something because you don't own the thing anymore um which is this great paradox that we
have in crypto overall um but i feel like we're somehow we've reverted back around and past that um
and that some people are just owning the fact that they're going to sell the thing
i just like i just read a post in the timeline it was like just picked up a bunch of steady
teddies we'll be dumping them openly on the open market and everyone's like yeah wait a minute yeah and i've just seen that a few times recently um there's people kind of
going like oh yeah no i i have sold or i will sell that's so interesting
nfts are kind of like a hit or a miss thing for me. At the end of the day, I would like to make more monies, which I think a lot of us can relate to.
But on the other hand, with some NFT collections, I just genuinely fall in love with the art.
For example, when I first bought my Remilio, it was with the intention of like, oh, I'll wait for a good pump and then sell it off. But now
this is my son.
I can't sell him.
That would be like
reckless parenting, you know?
I don't know if you can relate to that at all.
there's another dynamic here.
So for example, with the bong bear that is widely attributed to the character that is Jani,
what does it then mean to sell that bong bear?
It gets into kind of interesting territory on that side.
I've got a lot of thoughts on this.
I think people should be free to sell what they
want when they want because it's it's their stuff they spend money on it um but then on the other
hand um there i think the thing that gets janny's bear when it happens uh beer without going too deep into the reads on this stuff is,
it's less, how do I put this? I care less what people who are trying to make it do,
because everyone's trying to make it, but there are people in positions where their needs are satisfied where maybe
words and actions don't line up so that that triggers my autism oftentimes um but yeah i
don't know i think um it's what what we're getting into here psychologically speaking on is it Maslov's triangle of
hierarchy of needs pretty pretty near the top is safety and connections kind of
evolutionarily speaking that kind of and I think in on the internet a lot of
folks can kind of over index where they're drawing senses of connection from.
So you can get into some really kind of gnarly type of spots where you've got people's, let's say, core drivers triggering each other.
You know what I mean?
So I've seen some instances in projects in the Barrett Eco where people have been kind of in the project contributing,
they might have contributed like, let's say tens of thousands of messages to the Discord server,
contributing to the culture. But then when they sell some of their token, they're getting reviled
and kind of bullied, to be honest. And to Jani, I'm a bit sad to see that because then i'm like you're
looking at value just in a very narrow band like yes money is one band of value but time is also a
band of value like care attention contribution and jest all of these different their aspects of value
as well so when i see um especially like project leads or founders or or
that type of thing go in on uh community members who may be in a different financial position
it seems short-sighted to me because i'm like ah there's there's there's more to life than just
money and also everyone needs money so whatever they need to do if you were in their
shoes you don't know what you would do but one thing which i think is like a common is if people
are choosing to spend their time love attention care um messages jokes and stuff with your project
and then you turn on them that to janny is just like i'm like like, dude, what are you doing? Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, absolutely. You're good. You guys. Oh, you can go ahead, Searchy.
Now you're up. Okay. Yeah, I actually agree with that sentiment. I think that's a very based, empathetic take. You know, I think it's like, especially in this space, it's so easy
to forget that behind each of these PFPs is a person with a whole life, just like ours. Well,
not just like, but you get what I'm saying. So I think like, for example, you know,
I think, for example, within the Tubby Cats community, where I'm the community manager of there, there were lots of scenarios where just that happened, where someone would sell off their tubby.
But it was never like, oh, I can't believe you sold ostracizing them.
Yeah, it was more like
you never know.
Hang on, sorry.
You turned the tubby cap holder
into an ostrich.
Is that what you mean?
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
Yeah, if you sold your tubby,
boom, you're an ostrich.
There's no going back.
Yeah.
Yeah, like we've talked about
not having to blend blend Oscars before,
but I accept that you haven't listened to anything we said.
I do like eggs, and they're big.
Doesn't sound too bad to me. Eggs are very healthy for you,
actually. It's like a superfood. I recommend everyone eat eggs daily.
Sorry to interrupt you, you, but I think in the age-old bearer argument of are eggs better than crack,
now that the crack crew have started making bread, it begs the question, and we'll get back to your
important tubby cat story, I see. But it begs the question,
what drugs do the knuckle draggers of the bakery take?
And I think basically folks have landed on,
given the proximity to gluten,
it makes sense that they're glue sniffers, right?
And so I think that brings us back full circle
to the fact that a lot of glue is made with eggs.
And so really
if you follow that arc around it just yet again arrives at the conclusion that eggs are better
than crack i rest my case back to you i see wow i learned something new today that basically glue is eggs is life.
Insane alpha.
See, folks, this is the kind of alpha you only...
I did learn something.
Yeah, like...
That's my question.
What other space are you going to learn this very important alpha such as this you know insane
the long story short oh no go ahead we have been described like that before that's true
i don't know why though
yeah i didn't i didn't mean to uh derail We were talking about ostriches.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No worries.
Long story short, you sell your tubby cat, you become an ostrich, but you're still loved within the community.
kind of, I think, like, the importance of, like,
understanding everyone's individual circumstances
and not viewing selling as inherently this, like, bad thing.
Ostriches.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
See, this is the TED-ism.
It's advanced like
imagine imagine you had community members who didn't hold your NFT or
didn't hold your token but they were still showing up each day in your
community sharing their knowledge about your project and helping out I can't
think of something more bullish than that but then when you turn on them damn you don't just look like you don't just lose them you also lose their networks of care
the social networks like as people as people see how they're treated then it it starts to
so needs of like i don't know it's it's it's sad out there i really i have to say i really
respected m'lady culture of like you don't even you don't even need one of these you
can just right click save um i know a bunch of folks who were really uh seminal or let's say
impactful in kind of m'lady culture they don't even fucking own one they could never afford one
but they just right click save one that spoke to them and then they've been out there for years
kind of propagating this culture
it's fucking bullish you know what i mean oh yeah like it's actually like i i've never owned a milady
but i am a milady i i embody milady i have milady merch i go to milady raves i have many milady
friends i oh you guys should see my house in m'lady craft i'm not
gonna lie it's it's pretty bussin but yeah i don't own a m'lady and i think like also there is the
point of like you know if you're a community lead and someone sells your nft there's no saying that they won't re-buy at some point in the future.
So if you, you know, if you shame them and kind of outcast them, well, then they certainly have no drive or motivation to re-buy.
But I've actually had this several instances of this within the tubbies where someone needs to sell their tubby for some quick cash, but it's still all love.
And then later down the road, they actually bought another tubby because they just loved the community so much that they wanted to still be a part of that.
So something to be said for that, for sure.
Basically, just be cool and, and you'll win life.
It's a great TED Talk, which has double meaning today.
Searchy, what have you been crowning over since we last spoke?
What have you been crayoning over since we last spoke?
Last week, you shared with us your dietary regimen.
Is this true or was that icy?
It was icy.
I was eating crayons.
I get mixed up.
Last week, we were all on acid.
Yeah.
So actually, you shared with us the calorific benefits of not just using crayons but eating them.
And what else did you share?
You shared how poll works.
To recap, you basically said it makes green colour, green is the gooder colour, and
also some other stuff. So I'm really interested to see how this past week's been.
Yeah, well, I mean, you've summarised it pretty well. I think that was a good summary of what I said last week when I was definitely here.
I mean, for me, I've been on a little bit of a clarification ritual, I guess, of going
through and going like, oh, wow, how does this work?
What makes sense here?
What's going on here?
I think some of the little things I found really interesting are
things like the Veritan forums are a lot of fun, both entertaining because there's some funny
like things that you'll see written on the forums and also informative. I agree with this guy.
you can learn a lot there about kind of what's going on overall it's good you agree with me
You can learn a lot there about kind of what's going on overall. It's good you agree with me,
that's important to me yeah i think my favorite uh informative and very factual and helpful post
was the one that said um we need to save was the one by save very chain where he did this big save
the stable yield save very chain post and was like it's a critical danger we need more stable coin
liquidity and then he literally just he did this like big paragraph,
like here's why everything's bad and we need to fix it.
And then he replied to himself saying, I agree with this guy,
but I think he might've meant to change accounts, but he didn't.
So it was just him writing this big post and then agreeing with himself.
And it was a bit like, yeah, I'm glad that you do.
Dude, that's literally me when I respond to myself using the Baritone account, not going to lie.
Yeah, it was the same energy from the Baritone Foundation thing of, thanks so much Baritone Foundation.
Whoops, wrong alt.
That was good chat.
Simple humor is sometimes the best humor I'm sure the audience would agree with that sentiment considering I think majority of us
are severely tedistic sometimes you know it's just it's the simple things in life
yeah exactly and it's and it's good to acknowledge that to yourself as well
um all right one thing i might dig into a little bit um then because we've got the time um because
we're going to be here forever like no one's ever leaving um is the validator and validator boosting because this is like
properly switched on we have insight into this in a way that we didn't when we were last on a call
together and so yeah when I think we've covered lots of proof of liquidity before but like at
its simplest proof of liquidity is about you get the opportunity to provide liquidity into the ecosystem.
And then in return, you're paid out some of the entire chain's governance token, which is BGT.
BGT, you can do kind of two main things with it, which are you can redeem it for bearer tokens, one-to-one, that's nice. Or you can use it as a yield bearing token, which is where I
want to focus now. And the thing that I think is particularly interesting about it, because
what you can then go and do as a BGT macrocy is you can go and boost validators. So this
is where we get to the point where we're really participating in the chain and kind of how the chain is working and this is
for me really really cool tech and so what uh you can do so you can go to the validator page
on hub.veratain.com and you get to have a look at the validators why is this interesting because
when validators emit bgt into the ecosystem they're doing it in exchange for incentives
that's the pc word we're using nowadays.
And these incentives, they keep a small portion of them.
So let's say 4.2 or 5%,
and they pass on the rest of them
all to the people who have boosted them with BGT.
So as a user, you can go to the validator page
and say take the honey jar or BGT scan
or simply staking. and you can look at them
and go okay cool these guys have because they're
I'm meeting quite a bit of BGT in the system, that's quite a reasonable amount actually
for most of the ones that I've named I just called them on the front page
the honey jar for example is giving 646% APR. So I had a big rant
about this yesterday on Twitter which some of you may have seen. APR is the annual percentage rate.
So APR means if this kept you missing at the same rate it has been historically it would pay out
this much on your initial over the year.
Remember the incentives are paid out in all sorts of tokens.
So because these things are a bit random and volatile,
these numbers are kind of, I would say,
best guesses is probably the best way to describe them as opposed to guaranteed, guaranteed numbers.
So I would keep that in mind as you're looking at these things.
But what this does most likely mean for all of us is that we're looking at some pretty juicy yields there.
Again, like I just said, tiny jar up to 600 and something percent, which is a lot of percentages.
So for me, stable or not stable, but yield on on bear chain is looking very interesting because it's
a multi-layered thing you can kind of experience it at multiple levels on the way through and I
am very very interested to see and how this is going to evolve over time and what it's going
to look like as we see I don't know because i was just thinking about this the other day and i'd
be interested to hear your guys take on this um but i think that bgt kind of there's this overarching
slightly bearish case for native ecosystem protocols in where big protocols from outside
of the bear chain ecosystem come in and bribe because they have at the end of the day,
the bribe system, sorry, the incentive system
is a relatively, what do you call it?
The incentive system is a kind of,
I'm trying to think of the right word.
It's the biggest wallet wins
is kind of what we're looking at with the incentive system a lot of the time
and that could feel a bit not I guess depressing is one of the words that it can feel
um and so in that regard I think that the case for bgt though whilst that might be a little bit sad
for say the um uh the end user you might be feeling, the protocols might be like oh we're going
to get crunched, someone's going to take us down. As a kind of BGT holder you can look
at that and go oh wait a minute, if I get, if I'm getting bribes based on whether this validator is getting more incentives
because people are bribing more, then wait a minute, if I as a holder am getting more and
earning more over time because they're earning more as well, then the case of protocols coming
in from outside the ecosystem actually ends up being a little bit bullish for me as a BGT holdup. So that was a long winded ramble to say BGT is cool tech
and I'm very very interested to see how this kind of dynamic of protocols
coming in from outside the ecosystem over time is going to develop.
But I think that potentially as a BGT holder,
it's going to be a bit more of a bullish take than we initially would realise.
Thus ends my very long-term thought.
In summary, folks, in case that went over your head,
4.20 circumference and millimetre crayons
in a hue of green is the summary.
Yeah, best rubbed in a circular motion.
I'm glad that you gave that summary because i was definitely not about to hit y'all with my classic i'm literally just a girl line
um like i definitely understood everything he said but like for the rest of everyone like that
was that was very helpful i'm glad that's great that's good real talk though
i know we're not meant to books um uh there is how do we put it this intersection um where
uh teams i just fuck it i i don't know how to do this in an indirect way.
At The Honey Jar, we've created a consortium
which we're organizing behind the LST Fatbearer.
And the syndicate of validators that we're working with
is The Honey Jar, Apiology DAO combined with Barodrome and the Barabadis. And you do have the possibility for teams who are
able to both straddle the, let's say, the mindshare or awareness such that people
will boost with their BGT to that validator. But then also teams at the other end of the barbell
able to, let's say, have people believe in them enough
to stake the bearer, because it's that combo of...
The bearer that's staked with the validator
determines how often you create a block,
but the amount of BGT that you're boosted by
depends on the power of that block. And so you can have validator sets.
The Fatbearer Syndicate is one example of that, where the, let's say, the
the scope of its existence isn't maybe purely about profit maxing for the various stakeholders involved.
And so you do have the possibility for things to be honest with you uh uh most of the um validators within
um uh within that consortium are currently on profit maxi mode so that is choose whichever
is paying out the most incentive but there isn't a what's the word i'm looking for um a mandate
that indicates that it must always be that way it's just that oftentimes in the early days of a network,
going that more standard route reduces friction, etc.
But it doesn't need to be that way forevermore.
So that's kind of the caveat.
How that plays out in practice, we're now, you know, we're in existence.
We're not in theorycraft.
So it's a good point though
bearish like i think that um for it not to just go down the route of whoever has the biggest
wallet wins route would buck the trend in the sector but it's maybe um
uh it's it's interesting to see how that will play out.
Yeah, 100% agree.
100% agree, Dan.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I think there's a strong case for teams
who are able to build strong connections
or they're able to work with other teams.
I think there's a strong case that they will be able to,
if not come out on top, at the very least create some really interesting things that will, I guess,
shake up what we would expect to otherwise happen, like shake up the status quo a bit,
which is great. That's what these systems are all about. People are meant to come in
and try and break things and do it their own way. And kind of, I think the fun that I reckon
we're going to see is I reckon we're going to see a bunch of just stuff. People are going to do
things with the validator side of things as well as other stuff. But with the validator side of
things, people are going to do things and we're going to go, oh, I've never thought of that. But
someone else who's coming with a fresh set of eyes and a different understanding of the system
looks at him. And of course, they're like, like of course that's where they ended up so yeah i'm excited for
people to become familiar enough with the system they start trying to break it properly
what about you ic do you hate the system
What about you, IC? Do you hate system?
Repeat the question.
Do you hate system?
Well, let me just put it like this.
I remember being a 12-year-old cub and falling in love with system of a down.
I think that says all it needs to.
Nice. That is actually remarkably well said if you know you know
that's true that is true oh well you had a good run
jenny uh yeah so not to like shill our own stuff, but I've been very entertained by, I don't know if like sneaky maybe is the right word
that that's been quite good content to see on the timeline how is that going and and like i would just love to like hear your general thoughts
on the why the where whatever other w words you could think of the wideness the width
i'll keep this brief
uh the the the wideacityacity is a good word.
I will incorporate that into my lexicon.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
So, just right at the top, I know that it's been expressed that some of the way that Chani's been rolling this out with Mibera has has left um uh folks who operate with
um a let's say internally in terms of intrinsic motivation uh with a fine-tuned moral compass
and so i just want to really clearly state that every single one of you without exception is a criminal all of you
like you're all bad bad bearers no i'm joking um uh real talk um if you feel confused
and you're unsure if you did something wrong that's not on you like most likely stuff feels confusing
and unclear because it was so it's not on you um for the most part in the majority of cases
um and so i just want to relay that in the majority of cases folks haven't necessarily
been sneaky they haven't been done anything wrong you're not a criminal, don't worry about it.
The way that this rolled out, just to repeat the story without going into too much depth,
there was a long prelude where more or less everyone in phase one, Jani had some type
of a one-to-one interaction with.
Right?
So that's number one.
Phase one was meant to be kind of
guaranteed it was meant to them was meant to be at least some type of bear-to-bear type of exchange
we got really right towards the end of the process pre pre-ment and then also part of phase one was
including bearer projects i that was dumb of Jani in the sense that I made an assumption
that each bearer project would curate who they're inviting in.
In a lot of cases, that didn't happen,
and it didn't happen because that's the standard.
That's the way Jani used to operate as well,
so that was kind of a mistake of, let's say um assumption by jenny in that process one of
one of the bearer teams i won't name them uh invited in some incredibly obnoxious people
who were then in phase one who then started bullying jenny openly on the timeline such that
it woke jenny up out of the illusion that I was living within.
When I dug into this person's history, it was very clear they were a Sybil.
They ran many accounts that were less than 50 or 100 people.
When you search Twitter for the address that they gave,
it pops up with, let's say, six or seven different accounts all sharing that thing.
It was just really super clear they had come in through a Bearer project and then so that was that was when i woke up and realized i fucked up here
now it was pretty pristine uh i was happy for it to stack um because there's been some degree
of immune system through which folks need to pass and that was kind of a bit the a bit the design
that was what was communicated publicly,
that's what folks had understood.
So that was mistake number one of Jani.
In the process of looking into that mistake
and doing a bit of searching,
at the time I was operating on lower capacity,
I'm not going to make an excuse of it,
I had pretty intense Covid
and a combo with the flu at the time.
So my brain was just like mashed potatoes, to borrow I.C.'s brain cell phrase for a moment.
And I realized that in the spreadsheet that I had pretty autistically an OCD retained
sole tyrannical authorship over, just to avoid any mistake like this, I had
not summed up an important column which was the incubation from THJ for building out Mubera
over the last two years.
So then we had a situation where phase one was over allocated when it wasn't meant to
So that was mistake number two where I was like, okay,
this is actually really bad because now not only is the vibe of phase one
compromised because of assumptions that I'd made,
it's now over allocated, which I've very widely communicated.
It's not. And so in that process, I was like, okay, we're just going to have to eat this on the team.
And so I came up with eat this, meaning we're just going to have to reduce the
Marberas that we were planning to use to operate stuff like project-owned liquidity and some other stuff,
and we just have to then go operate stuff like project-owned liquidity and some other stuff,
and we just have to then go and buy on the open market.
Okay, solvable.
But in that process, the devs then connected, and this has never happened in the history of THJ
that we've had such a divergence of understanding, the smart contract dev was like, hey, what are you talking
about stacking?
Each wallet globally is only allowed one mint,
like at a contract level.
And it's too late.
If you want to change that, we need to delay the mint.
And so the front end that people had been seeing
and plugging in their address or pasting in their address, I don't think you needed to connect, and it was displaying how many you would have in each category.
That was Jani's intended design, and the front end folks and Jani were in sync on that.
the public communications was based on the front end,
but it was a complete illusion,
had no connection to the actual reality of the smart contract.
Not to say that code is law.
I'm not one of those kind of ways of thinking,
but just in this instance so uh i took that to
be a message from the jester universe that the um the that was just the way it was going to roll
when i actually looked at the numbers uh everything was then in balance as as it was intended to be
in the sense that phase one wasn't over allocated phase two was over allocated but only by the
communicated 20 percent um and that somehow i just ran with it so if you felt confused in this process
or a criminal it's not at all that it's just that this is the way that the universe went right and
so that was how we took it uh in that process um so that was a lot of folks who operate from a single address,
they then had their allocation reduced down to one. And that is the majority of the holders
of Mibera. Now we came to, we've over the course of 72 hours, the Mint minted out across 6,000 different wallets.
And the post-processing afterwards revealed that there was, let'd say naughty clusters, but then the Jester universe strongly gave Jani the strong steer that if the majority of people who had have everyone have some type of haircut.
That's not to say everyone goes down to one.
And so then I invite people to come and let us know if they've minted or multiple.
Those that did maybe had one or two taken off, I think the max per person is three or four.
So it's not to say everything gets raised down.
But in this process, we found, for example, I'll give you an example of some of the archetypes.
We have found bearer projects where
stuff that was meant for community has largely
been minted by team and friends.
We have found just straight up people kind of lying about who they were and then
selling them on Exiverse. That's a pretty open and shut case. We have found founders of NFT
projects from outside of the bearer eco going to quite great lengths to try and cover their traces
in the sense that they fund multiple wallets through RelayBridge to make it look like the wallets are funded
by different people who in some cases have minted up to 75% of the
supply that was meant for their holders and the mints have clustered around two different wallets and this type of thing.
The next type of archetype are community managers who aren't so clever about hiding their trail
and mint, let's say, between 20 to 40% of the supply that's meant for their community.
percent of the supply that's meant for uh meant for their community and then you've got people who
maybe um did stuff without speaking to us about it and that is they did they did go and distribute
some of the allocation to different communities but then in some instances there wasn't
apparently the demand for all of them so then they went to some of their own personal communities and distributed it in that way and then the the last type
of clustering you get is the the very human and natural way where for example
if folks are coming from outside of the bearer eco you might have someone who is
very bear appealed they might be the one with bearer on their wallet. And so maybe they've helped
10 people onboard by sending them the bearer and whatever. And those people, it's very
tell because they're very upfront about, they came forward and were like, hey, I did this.
These are the people you can reach out to them directly. The funniest ones were the ones where
The funniest ones were the ones where you had folks who've spread across between 10 and 30 wallets, right?
And this one cluster came forward to Jani and they were like, oh, hang on, let me just make a group.
And there was 30 fresh accounts with like five followers each.
And one of them was like, oh, look, yeah, this is my wife.
Wife, can you come forward?
And then the wife like, like, seconds later, was like, oh, look, yeah, this is my wife. Wife, can you come forward? And then the wife, like, seconds later, was like, oh, hello, husband.
Yes, what my husband is saying is true.
Hang on, I have to go and look after our 10 kids.
You see everything, right?
You see people who've got honeycomb.
They have spread the honeycomb across 20 wallets.
So I haven't meant to make you feel like a criminal but i i
will say that there's like a lot of shenanigans uh at work here almost at every different scale
and that is the that is just the way stuff has been done for like quite a while as far as i can
see um and then at the other end of it um people that we've worked with, standout people here,
I will just say straight on air, is PLA from Circle and DocNunu.
You've got TMA20 from Fankari.
You've got SluttyNFT from Taproot.
There are examples of folks who basically take one for themselves and do actually distribute
it to their holders, the rest of them. And so far as I understood it, the surface level story that
people are saying is that, yes, if you're a community manager for each project that you're
bringing on board, it's kind of acceptable
to maybe take one right and that's been the assumed way of operating but you know maybe
let's put it this way the data tells a very different story and so as you know about jenny
i don't mind going into the temple flipping the tables naming what is actually happening um and
naming what is actually happening um and uh i i you know i i don't mind being the messenger
bearing news that people don't want to hear um but that's a very long what i don't want to have
left people with is a feeling of shame or guilt or that they're a bad person because for the most
part for example people who even are operating for wallets, maybe that's their OPSEC, right?
I actually think that's smart and good and whatever.
And I think it's reasonable if you had allocation on four
to have thought, oh, I can mint on four if they're eligible.
I don't think those folks did anything wrong in that front.
I actually think good OPSEC and not minting all in one
all-in-one is actually actually a bad thing it's just that the um the the the uh uh proximity
is actually a bad thing.
that those folks have to folks who are very purposely trying to you know and i i also
understand that people are trying to play the game they're trying to get as much as they can
right and there's very few teams who take in all of the money and then afterwards
and say hmm no not like this i think i'm not sure if it's happened before and certainly there isn't
a whole bunch of um uh data analytics going on so that's my ted talk for the day uh if you've been
swept up in the if you've lost some of your maberas, consider it a you've spent some time,
taste, you've spent time, attention, skill,
some type of transaction and effort.
You've also now spent some Bera
and the Jester universe has also requested of you
or required of you some type of soul payment
of like a disappointed feeling or feeling or or this type of thing
is also seemingly a price of entry uh into the membera wraith and uh uh but don't don't take
that to mean that there's judgment there that you're kind of a bad bearer or that you're a
criminal in any part except those of you that have clearly been being naughty for quite a while.
And we see you now in 420 HD.
And if you're scared because you have been up to shenanigans, you should be.
Is what I'm saying.
Okay.
But in any case, I don't know if that answered your question, Isi.
It did.
Yeah, that gave a lot of uh background and lore on it i yeah i had like
it was just like i saw like the post like starting to trickle in you know and i i pieced it together
quickly of like okay what's going on here um so yeah to hear the the deep dive i think it's
actually quite admirable to uh really like do your best to ensure fairness within the community.
So yeah, you don't really see that very often in this space,
which is kind of cool and also hilarious.
I also appreciate that on Gianni's side,
acknowledging that he was a little bit of a hot dog at a few stages of the process.
It's good to, you're right, there's people who have been a bit naughty, but it's also good to acknowledge.
I think it's much more helpful when builders in public come out and say like, oh yeah, we did this bit.
It was a bit funky or we could have done it better.
Then if builders just stand up and go, no, no, no,
I was correct the whole way through because 99% of the time we don't
execute perfectly.
What a surprise.
But, yeah, I think it's better now.
And I always think it's good to be transparent about these things.
Yeah, I think it's much more β
Agreed.
It's much more believable that someone is occasionally a hot dog versus
you know occasionally come on that's an insult but no hands up also the it's very rare that
someone can stand up and say the mistake was almost entirely 100 on me and in this instance
because i was so ocd autistic tyrannical about being the sole
author of a lot of the process the mistakes in this part were really truly hot dog jenny
it wasn't by design i was just as surprised as you folks um uh and uh sorry for your loss but
the jester universe had different plans for jani, had different plans for you, had different plans for Mibera.
But yeah, I try to be, I agree with you, Mibera Search.
I think there's the initial injury of stuff not going the way
that has been publicly communicated.
But then when someone tries to pull the wool over your eyes
about what went down, that's like the second injury,
which oftentimes compounds things
uh beyond what they what what they need to be yeah definitely definitely i think that's a
i mean i think that's a common one it's like there's there's to be fair there is a way to compete
um the like there's no not compete competes the wrong word there's a way to communicate
um these things like it is important to communicate things in certain ways.
But I would say overall, yeah, I think there's an element
of clarity is kind of key.
And it can just be the value that above
pretty much every other value that we have.
I think the clarity side of things is really important.
Clear, concise communication
is a winner. Is it perhaps time for a quick water break? And then maybe we can come back
and see if anyone wants to get up and have a yap with us.
Water, music, folks up. Yes, that's good uh i do need to go
i've got like a cut off in 30 minutes a hard stop oh my gosh well i remember last week we
all collectively fond over the wide bear theme song and I played you a clip that was about, like,
I think a minute long.
What if I told you I had the full two-minute-and-some track
that we could enjoy during our water break?
Whoa.
There's a bad shit in the woods.
Say less, Jannie.
On Tuesdays.
Okay, folks.
Let me figure out my mic situation here.
Okay, so we are going to do a quick water break.
While you're refilling those water receptacles, you will hear the official theme song of Wide Barra.
the official theme song of Wide Barra.
If you do not already know Wide Barra,
he is a cornerstone of culture,
of beauty, of width,
and just a monumentous presence,
mostly because he is, without a doubt,
the widest Barra in any given room.
So if you'd like to come up and yap with us,
please feel free to start putting in those requests to speak.
In the meantime, get those water cups refilled and enjoy White Bearer's theme song. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to go to the next video. so
isn't that just amazing?
I'm not going to lie, the entire time that was playing, I was just standing here dancing.
Two things.
One, I can't wait to be at a B-Rave or Bearerave with a live band playing this, number one.
Number two, I can see my future watching a very popular youtube video of some type of high school or like junior school uh band uh and this
is a song that they're playing and it just pops off and goes viral online like this is this is
the future that i see oh my gosh that track is like uh like a a song that a band will play like
during a football game or something like that that would go insanely dummy
uh the word i think we're looking for is anthem yes it it truly is an anthem It's so boisterous.
So, folks, hopefully you've refilled your water cups.
I think for a brief Health Maxi session with Icy, I will, of course, continue to spread my propaganda on the importance of hydration and that is hydration via water. Monster, Red Bull, coffee, soda does not count towards your
daily intake of those sweet, sweet ounces. And furthermore, a little tip for you for this week it would do you quite
favorably to find a delicious electrolyte mix bonus points if it's uh no added sugars
to mix in with your water if you're someone who kind of struggles with
staying hydrated because you just are, you don't like the taste of water, like, you know, I can't
relate, but I know that there are people out there who are like, ew, I hate water. I can't drink it.
Find yourself a tasty little electrolyte mix and include that because electrolytes will actually help you even more in staying hydrated,
which can bring you not only energy, but mental clarity as well as we're having fun clicking
buttons and making lots of money with our friends on BarraChain. Some mental clarity for that every
now and then is a nice break from the yeet-hearted and or tedistic tendencies of the
bearers. Jenny, I see you're pitching the water sparkly stuff again. I don't know what to do with it.
I just don't like being told what to do. It doesn't even matter if the thing I'm being told to do is in my best interest.
Just stop with your tear.
If I psyopsed you and I said, don't drink water, would that make you drink water?
Because I'm telling you not to.
If I had, you know, when I was a wee cup, but now I understand how that works.
You know, when I was a wee cub, but now I understand how that works.
If I had you on, not just me, if the public had you on 24-hour rolling webcam,
and we could see that you weren't drinking water,
whilst you're not drinking water, I would drink water.
There.
So if you can set that up, but it would come at a cost.
Those are the terms, and I'm not moving.
You know, I see your terms, and you drive a hard bargain.
Using my honorary Barituber, Baritoner VTuber,
I could easily set up a stream session where you saw my water intake.
This is something I'll consider.
Someone's going to make a dehydrated IC meme coin and then launch it whilst that
and then launch it whilst that live stream is happening.
live stream is happening.
And then it's going to get, let's say, full stacked the moment that you hydrate.
So the pressure would be there for you, actually,
because people's entire financial future would be in your hands,
not just Jenny being hydrated.
That's a lot of pressure to put on a little icy bear, I have to say.
You know, diamonds are made under pressure.
That's all I'm going to say.
TouchΓ©. Diamonds are very dehydrated.
That was a very impressive block for me there, icy.
Thank you. I practice it, actually.
Yeah.
It's something that I've honed in over the years you
know um but that being said we do have our first speaker up on the panel today
momo it is fantastic to have you up here can i get your best ooga booga
Ooga booga.
Now we're going to...
Yeah, it's okay if you're preparing yourself for that moment.
Mentally, emotionally, physically.
Spiritually.
All of the above.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, you know what?
Maybe they're feeling a little shy.
So, Momo, while you're preparing yourself...
Oh, no!
What am I preparing for?
Oh, here we go.
Hi, Icy!
Hi, Icy.
I'm a fan of her, by the way, guys i i'm a fan of her by the way guys like extreme fan of her
oh my god the first times that uh i was trying to figure out how to do prompt engineering
with my own ideas um she icy bear was the one to give me like so many ideas about like
the purple witch that I made it's actually uh 70 percent inspiration is coming from icy bear
and 30 percent is me just working to understand what I want for the purple witch for myself. So thank you so much, Icy Van.
You're welcome. Yeah, I think in any instance where we can share our knowledge to help lift
each other up, we should totally do it. So I'm glad that I was able to kind of like help you
get you on your way to becoming a prompt master. is really fun right to like play around with like
how you prompt words to create images and like you you really do like people say oh ai art isn't
you're not working for it it's not art but like is it completely different yes absolutely but
there's still like a lot of thought that has to go into like having a really nice prompt you know so exactly
and you have to know what you really want to really explain it in detail so um i always wanted
like i'm a lady myself i love anime i love 2d i don't like 3d that much. I have a Sigma.
Maybe that's why.
I don't know.
I can't see the Z.
But when it comes to anime version of creating meta queens as characters, as PFPs, as the character and making a story.
The more you make a story, the more you sound so detailed.
You can achieve what you really dream.
And it's so nice to see what you dream in reality in just a couple of seconds. It's like, oh my god, I made it.
That means I know what I want. That means I can explain myself. If I can explain myself in prompt engineering, I can surely explain myself in English, in normal I say and you gain more confidence in communication
and you make art and you inspire other people. Yeah I totally relate to that there have been
a lot of instances where like I have kind of a clear vision of like what I'm wanting to get out of it and it's really just about like a
trial and error sort of process and figuring out like what string of words is going to create what
I envision in the way that I do so it's like it's a really fun sort of puzzle and you're discovering
yourself too kind of you're like huh I didn't know that I wanted that because I never asked
that question to myself like yeah sometimes you can like even yeah you can even like get
get things that you didn't kind of realize that you wanted as a part of it and like it sort of
like the idea evolves until you finally get the
one where you're like that's it that's the money right there yeah that's it like good morning
i'm like generate
exactly well i'm so glad that you joined us up here today i thank you I think you were in one of my Bera baddie spaces before.
Did you dive
into Bera chain
any deeper than that?
Well, that's A-OK because this is the space to be in.
If you want to talk
Bera, learn Bera, or
just Bera Bera with Beras.
So Bera...
My name is Jani and I'm IC's secretary.
Just make sure to send over your address
so that the IC Fan Cup Corporation can send in your bribe.
So thank you so much.
Thank you, Tantor. Let me add you. Oh, hold on.
Yes. Gotcha. And then I'll add, like, I'm going to add everyone I see, Bear, because,
you know, I just want to get to know everyone. Yeah, Bear Search is our resident big brain. So
on his Twitter, you'll find a lot of very informative threads that deep dive different protocols. So his Twitter is a great one to peruse if you're actually wanting to learn more about the different protocols on BearChain.
Most of the time he'll talk about things and I'm just like, in one ear, out the other, have no idea what's going on but thank goodness we have
him to understand it all so bear chain is uh as I see it's made nuts and um do you guys have a github i'm not really sure is it is it a dev site that do you guys have any um
nfts that i can buy i don't know wow today is actually a big day in nfts yeah so actually
today uh you'll see i you know how earlier i was like, well now I can't change my PFP. I lied.
I changed it anyway. Ha ha.
But you'll see the three of us, our
PFPs come from a collection called SteadyTeddy.
They just minted
today. So the mint has
concluded and let the secondary
markets begin. But that's
kind of like, I think, as of
recently, SteadyTeddy and
Mibera are the biggest nfts
to happen but um barra is also now minted out so um upcoming hey baritoners you know not gonna
gonna gonna plug in the self-shill there um so yeah though in terms of like nfts there's honestly
so many and like i think kind of the fun thing about Barra Eco is like, when you first get in,
you're just like, what are all of these different collections?
They all have bears in common, but like, there's so many different kinds.
And I think you do start to see oft with NFTs that each of the Barra Eco collections kind
of like curates its own community vibe within themselves. So part of
the fun for me has been like getting to know, you know, what the different collections are,
the projects that they come from, and like what kind of vibes that community entails. And thus entails and thus the pfps sort of as a extension of that entails so yeah i there's there's not like
a one-stop shop for like here are barra eco nfts that i know of but um i always point people to
barra land uh they're like a community hub for barra chain and like they have like this nice
directory on their website where you can just kind of like browse the different projects.
So, yeah, that's where I kind of always send people that are wanting to start deep diving as well.
That's a great start.
Now, I have a couple other people up here.
Thank you so much.
They've been patiently waiting.
Of course.
Yeah, Momo, it's always fantastic to speak with you
Slow gold
Henlo, and can I get your
Best ooga booga
Ooga
Ooga
Ooga
Ooga
Ooga
And furthermore, Henlo
What's going on guys
that just integrated my spirit something mighty thank you for that but yeah it's going fantastic
how are you doing i'm all right i was looking looking a little while, or I saw some video, because you were mentioning, we were talking about the baritone with those fully rigged 3D models and how you can have your arms incorporated.
And I was like, how does that go?
And then I saw a video of somebody with, like, all this hardware on to be able to do it.
And do you have that hardware
is it all like this one was pretty involved yeah you know I haven't gotten any of the
uh hardware myself to do that um and so like historically I've just never been able to stream
with my arms which is fine because fine because I do like gaming streams.
So, you know, I'm using a controller anyway.
It's not like I really need it.
But one of the really cool things that I love about Hologram is that they actually have arm tracking integrations via webcam.
via webcam. So you don't need any additional hardware. If you have your webcam, you can make
So you don't need any additional hardware.
the arms move as well through their app. So I'm really, really excited that like Baritone has
partnered with them. Cause I think that's going to be just like, it's, it's just like opening this
door of accessibility, you know, whereas like the hardware for the arm tracking, like it can be pricey. It's like, do you really want to invest in that? So the fact that like, you know, through
hologram, you'll be able to do that with just the webcam as well, I think is going to be like super
bullish for content creation. Oh, yeah, that's a lot better. I also was like, that seems like an
investment to be able to do this, which I don't know if I cared that much, but I just didn't know that there was all this extra hardware that you could use.
And it's probably an accuracy thing or something like that.
But yeah, the hardware is definitely going to be like more accurate for sure than like the webcam
tracking would be. But, you know, so like if you're like
an advanced content creator, like you want to do really accurate movements, like then I would say
you're probably in the boat of like considering investing in the craft. But for myself included,
more of just like the casual enjoyers of the technology. Yeah, just like way easier.
And just like, like I said, like way more accessible.
Yeah.
And who knows, like maybe someone starts out
with the webcam tracking and then they realize
like this is goaded.
This works perfectly with the kind of content
I want to create.
Okay, now I'll go invest in the more accurate devices
that you can have so yeah yeah it's
cool I saw you in uh pixel playing with it on a discord thing it was cool um oh dude I can't
tell you like it's so fun because like now pixel and g and i will join meetings with our vtubers and like every
single time we hop on a call like with a partner they're always just like oh my gosh these are so
cute these are so cool what uh so it's been like you know really awesome to get to experience that
and i think like that's why i'm like I'm just so excited for
this collection because the Beras are just gonna like be elevated in terms of like you know how
they present on the internet and the kind of like branding potential that they can have for
themselves and their content and it's to be so awesome someday very soon
to join a call with other projects.
And they're also using their baritoners.
And so it's just a bunch of bears in a meeting room together.
It's going to be amazing.
That'll be a thing.
Be a hundred different bears on there, man.
They're nuts.
I have a random one for searchy if he's still willing to, to, uh,
chat on. Oh, that's going to be fun. I love random ones.
It's not that random. It's more of a, what do you think about, uh,
redeeming your BGT for things like LBGT rather than
Bera, where it has a higher valuation, but I don't know.
It kind of hurts my heart on the inside because it feels like you're
sidestepping the POL thing, but I get it.
but I get it and they have a whole
And they have a whole, and honestly,
and honestly now it's like
layered because you can redeem
for LPGT and then stake your
LPGT to get staked
LPGT and then you can
also stake that on
Baradrome or something and it just keeps getting
layered and layered and layered so
it's cool
you can never have too many layers
right at some point you'll never be able to figure out how to unwrap all your assets It's cool. You can never have too many layers.
Right.
At some point, you'll never be able to figure out how to unwrap all your assets.
Oh, exactly.
Yeah.
You meant to have no clue.
I think my take on all this is just like, really, it depends on your goals and what you're trying to accomplish at the time like if you're someone who's like cool i want to have the biggest bgt stack possible then could be that your strategy becomes i'm going to
farm uh lbgt or ibgt because these are liquid and then i'm going to sell them because they have the
highest premium but then i'm actually going to buy bGT on BGT market so that I end up with,
because I've decided, like I've been running the numbers at the moment,
I get the most, like I end up with the most BGT there
because of how all those premiums are stacking up against each other.
Or it could just be, you could just want to be,
or like your simplicity is your goal.
It could be that you just want to stack BGT
and you don't care because you just don't have the time
or you value accruing kind of honey and more bearer.
So IBGT might be great for you.
Or you think that IBGT is going to keep its crazy premium
and keep its crazy APY forever.
So you go, cool, I'm happy to just keep stacking this for a while
and see what happens there.
So, yeah, I think it's very choose-your-own-adventure,
which, to be honest, it's more...
I feel like there's more complexity there than I was expecting to see,
and I'm pleasantly surprised by that.
Yeah, I do think it's kind of...'s both overwhelming and and kind of fun and interesting
that you can choose a bunch of different strategies here yeah although i tend to be the
one that wants to try a bunch of stuff so then i just have a little bit of a million things which
is maybe not great uh because yeah it's a recipe for losing track of stuff
and having your liquidity so fragmented
that you have no idea what's accruing what.
And it's all just a little bit of nothing.
I get that. That's the fun of it, though.
You're like, oh, there's so many things you could be trying.
And each new thing that you try, so there's the epochs for every three to five hours,
depending on whatever, roughly speaking. And then you're having to go to all of these different
places to claim rewards and this type of stuff. So I don't like, it's novel right now, but that type of work
over time,
if we track how
stuff went down during,
let's say, B5 version 1, D5 summer,
this type of thing,
I think the people who are going to come out on top
ways of
expressing intent where you don't
have to keep coming back and repeating yourself.
I think that's why these rappers such as Infrared or Smiley or whatever are appealing to a bunch of folks.
But yeah, even people who are really juicing it to the max,
I wonder how much time they're spending each day really carving up their day and scheduling stuff in,
or whether you need to be writing scripts and this type of thing to really maximize it.
Anytime there's complexity in a system, it opens up this whole design space for people to come in and create conveniences. So in that sense, it's super exciting
because there is something under the hood valuable
that's complex.
Then it opens up opportunities for people to come in
and make people's lives easier.
But yeah, even for Jenny right now,
just playing around with, let's say, six different things
and the number of transactions that that infers is uh per batch
something in the region of like 30 30 transactions per batch and there's maybe five of those batches
a day that's like 100 and 100 to 150 different transactions uh even for someone motivated what percentage of people is that?
I agree.
I did think about that one.
You guys are.
I was just going to say
that I thought about that one where you
redeem for LPGT and then
just sell it and then try to buy on a BGT
market.
So it's funny that you also mentioned it here.
I was thinking about it the other day.
But I agree.
It's a lot of time if you're really trying to keep up with your yields.
I'm pretty bad.
I do like some stuff once a day and then I'm just too busy.
It's not bad. You've got things to do. do like some stuff once a day and then I'm just too busy.
It's not bad. You've got things to do.
I do.
I do want to also welcome to the stage Flexin,
but before we hear from Flexin, I want to,
I want to touch on this frankly preposterous and fake news uh so hearkening back to approximately five minutes
ago when we were making the joke about the dehydrated icy coin um might as well has now
posted dehydrated icy coin meme swap and the pfp he put for this like i don't know what you had to prompt with that ai but i need you
all to know that this is not me i am very hydrated and moisturized and frankly i think this counts as
hate speech i also i pinned it to the jumbot, if you're listening and you're like, what are you talking about?
All I'm going to say, I see no judgment, but the glow up is fantastical.
You know, it ain't much, but it's honest work.
We got to work with what we got, I see.
That being said... We got to work with what we got, I see.
And I can understand in the realm of crypto,
it would be challenging to go around calling yourself Woody,
you know, because it's this namespace occupied from the Toy Story.
So I can very much understand the amount of effort
that you put into creating a kind of niche brand and no
judgment hey all i need you to know is that uh i'm going to be drinking actually more water
than i normally do just to compensate for seeing this terrible version of reality where I am not a real talk though like if
to take on the health health maxi section for a moment you can drink too much water I'm not
joking here so just please you know this is true uh Woody be careful is all I'll say. In terms of Jani's Botanicals, let me wrap what I said earlier in,
here's an example of cybernetic weeding.
Weeding is good if you want to give space to other stuff to grow.
That's Jani's Botanical in retrospect, speaking about the whitelist stuff.
I believe we have Flexin up.
Incredible metaphorical tie-in.
Flexin', it's fantastic to see you here again.
Hello, BM.
And furthermore, can we get your best ooga-booga?
Ooga-booga.
Now, it's a different type of ooga-booga.
And it's the first time I come up here as a shiller
as a shiller of baby bear
oh no aren't we all deep down shillers of baby bear yeah we are i mean you guys start the show
with baby bear music baby bear is everywhere is everywhere. Let's be honest.
Baby Bear is everything.
Baby Bear is life.
I hear it's on a beat somewhere.
You know, I've heard that from time to time you can find Baby Bear on the beat.
Yes.
It has been confirmed.
100% real.
I have heard it
a lot of times.
And it's always
like this
curly voice
saying it.
Really like it.
Really soothing,
let's say.
Yeah, I don't know
how Baby does it, but he do be doing it he do be he do be
yeah he do be do yeah i changed did you see i see i changed my pfp again back to my yeah you're back
you're back to the bola see that's why when you came up i immediately recognized you
because uh it was your bola not yes yes but now it has a baby bear on it
so it's all about baby bear but do know whenever steady titties come out i will also change my pfp
but i will still keep my baby bear baby bear i won't go anywhere that's gonna be my thing honestly baby bear on the shoulder even like even the same like the the pre-reveal memes for some of them i've thought
like i would rock that as a pfp oh yeah like there's some bangers in there like can i can we
choose to not get ours revealed and just keep the pre-reveal meme. Meme is strong.
They're very good.
Did you guys see some of the most random
memes?
This dude getting
hit with...
What is this sport?
The sport that you get a pole and you try
to jump over something.
There's this random...
Howlwalt?
What? Was it Howlwalt? jump over something like there's this random what?
was it Paul Walt?
yeah I think that's the one
but it's just a random dude
getting hit
in his private parts
so there's someone out there
that has a picture of a dude
getting hit
by a pole on his private parts.
That's rough.
And that's a Teddy Teddy.
For everyone involved.
I know that people are literally trading them based on the pre-reveal meme,
which I think is hilarious.
Like, it's not the actual Teddy.
They like the memes that are sitting there
beforehand so much that they're willing to get them for that reason that's honestly so
tattistically bullish tattistically bullish i mean it's it's kind of contradicting if you ask me. Teddies and bullas don't go along.
I mean, it started a long while back, but we are teddies for now.
We will be teddies for a while.
We're teddies unless we're bullas.
Yes, exactly.
Or baby bear once baby bear pfp comes out
then neither teddies or oh that's gonna be tough it's gonna be a tough one me bear and baby bear
those are the ones that are gonna be on my pfp rotation the most i think hey whoa whoa whoa
whoa you're acting like baritoners isn't an up-and-coming pfp project it's going to be so ridiculously yes yes sorry i see i totally forgot about that damn people are gonna start to use
like multiple pfps in one image i feel like they must yeah like well there's like that trend of
like people somehow incorporating past pfps to like evolve them into their new ones
so i feel like we're gonna start to see that within the bara ego with all of these pfps
i'm gonna use ai to make a monster of a pfp like a mi bara hair a baritone body a baby bara color
background and teddy eyes or something.
I don't know.
We'll see what happens.
That sounds terrifying.
Don't worry, babe.
Bear a PFP monster can't hurt you.
Bear a PFP monster isn't real.
Bear a PFP monster.
You should do one of those, or you zoom in on the picture for a while and you keep seeing
You should do one of those.
more and more detail in it.
But there's like, yeah, so do that one.
So that you have to zoom in to appreciate it.
It's like, your PFP is like in the eyeball of the ladder.
Yeah, yeah.
Zoom in super far to see it all.
That's a good idea.
Like my PFP is now a video here it is
and just like zoom through all of your pfps they all just dance across wait now that i think about
it is there any like banner project umbera hmm no okay look no one take that idea i that's a great idea no one take it
you know the the m'lady banners project and like all of its derivatives i honestly love those and
i remember the first time i saw it i was just blown away at the creativity of it. So I think it's only a matter
of time before we start to see the Bera versions come out of the woodworks. If you're working on
this, DM me. I might have to talk with Baby about something real quick. No, no, no. Talk with me.
Don't worry. I'll loop baby in after okay we have one more person that has requested to speak and then that'll take us
right up to the two-hour mark and as much as i love chit-chatting, Barra-Bearing with all of my
Barras, I'm actually quite a busy Barra, cooking absolute heat in the Baritone kitchen. So I do
have tasks that I need to return to. So in the meantime, perfect segue to welcome up Yumi,
segue to welcome up Yumi, Yume, him, Yumi, him, Yumi, him, Yumi, how do you, first of all, welcome,
hi, second, how do you say your name so that I can make sure I'm pronouncing it correctly?
They're thinking about how you pronounce it right now too.
It's okay, take your time.
Maybe next week we'll hear how you pronounce it.
Well, gosh golly, there we have it, folks. In conclusion, thank you for joining us for another week of Berra Berra.
It has been a joy and a pleasure, as always, to chit-chat with all of you.
We'll be here same time, same place next week. In the meantime, if you minted that Steady Teddy, I cannot wait to see all of these reveals start to hit the timeline. Do pay attention to Baritone because
oh boy, when I tell you we have got some absolute heat being served to you on a fresh platter, and that platter is very wide.
You'll want to be around for this.
Bearer Search, is there any last words
that you'd like to leave our lovely bears with today?
I think I'm pretty chill this time out.
Thanks for coming, everyone.
Don't forget to forget about Steady Teddies
because we can't let their egos
get too big and yeah booga booga
i'll play us out with a little bit of baby bear on the beat you know how that baby loves to be on those beats and in the
meantime stay hydrated stretch your body express gratitude for all of the good things in your life
keep working hard to make your dreams your reality and get ready for a very very wide wednesday . Thank you. Ooga Booga! Thank you.
