Straight from the bricks, I need a lick, I drink the body since I was a chick, nigga unlit,
I cannot miss, came from the bottom and got me a check, bitch I'm a black, I got a flex,
you want the crime, I don't know what it takes, I ain't built different, I'm not what you
think, I cannot lose, I go out with a bang, I hope you never say my name is Lane, I'm
with whatever, just not been no games, I know they say I change, I cannot say the
same, I let they want me shackled, they're locked in a shoe, like, that's just what happens
with bad news, on my mama, I never been fragile, I'm no wrong with the fuck with this taboo,
turn you niggas on R.I.B. tattoos, still a young nigga, but feel like an OG, can't forget
all the shit that they told me, tell the niggas they get it, they know me, you gon' turn
me back into the old me, you gon' turn me back into a savage, I done did shit you couldn't
imagine, leveled up and then bought me a mansion, I can never go back to a has-been, I can never
go back to the oldest, know it, back to walkin' to work on a cold day, back to thinkin' my
ex was my soulmate, back to tellin' myself it'll be okay, we'll be okay, but surviving
no rhyme and they old shit, shorty payin' the bills, I had no say, I can never go back to
the bottom, to the bottom, sellin' drugs that we know when the cops come, nigga jealous,
they wanted the problems, I was just tryin' to give me some dollars, a couple dollars,
turn my pennies from hundreds to commas, I'm so happy them days are behind us, I ride by different
spots, I get flashbacks, I can't get on your level, I'm past that, watch me run that shit
up, I can't go back to none, tryna get to the top of the world, my nigga went crazy, walkin'
this corner, we seen someone fuckin' this girl, fuck all that spinning block, they said,

never had a woman since she done with me, I was workin' out, I own a company, I keep money
comin' in constantly, my little brothers done be havin' runs, but she tryna get it, I been
on the run for weeks, I think none of you niggas can come for me, both of my kids got it done,
she on the real deal, all the way on half scale, gotta do better than that, yeah, that's
my motto, put a switch on the flip for the auto, put them things on the plane like I'm
wilder, tryna say that I finally changed up, why the fuck they keep raggin' my name up,
cause I'm poppin', I can never go back to the old days, the old way, back to walkin' to work
on the cold day, back to thinkin' my hips from my soul, back to tellin' myself it'll be
okay, we'll be okay, what's the vibe in our woman and OJ, I was payin' the bills I ain't

never know when the cops come, niggas jealous they wantin' to rob us, I was just tryna
give me some dollars, a couple dollars, turn my penis from energy to comers, I'm so happy
them days are behind me, I'm so happy them days are behind me, I'm so happy the baby
done found me, I done keep some good niggas around me, I got rid of them niggas who doubt
me, keepin' good energy and I'm freein' up, total vision ain't nothing could phase us, once
you cross me, nothing could save us, pull that thing out of us, it's dangerous,
I done did a lot of things in my day, I admit it, I don't take back what I say, if I said
it then I meant it, all my life I won a Grammy, but I'll probably never get it, I ain't never
had no trophy or no motherfuckin' ribbon, fuck the system, I'm that nigga, bend the law,
cut the rules, I'm about to risk it all, I ain't got too much to lose, y'all been eatin'
long enough, it's my turn to cut the food, pass the plate, win my drink, this my day, lucky
you, fuck you boo, woo, y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move,
give me some room, give me some room, give me the juice, how about the coupe, how about the
coupe, how about the shoot, y'all gotta move, y'all gotta move, give me the juice, back of my bullshit,
my back to the wall, turn my back on your wall and you finish, back to these bullets,
it's back to the drop with my Mac out and all of you runnin', back of my hood shit, it's
back to the pushin', these taxin', I'm actually perfect, can fuck what you happen, you practically
suckin', you white or in platinum, and that don't mean nothin', I'm actually buzzin' this
time, shit out of the kitchen, I told him, the oven is mine, I do not fuck with you guys,
if I don't care, you just know you gon' suffer this time, I ain't no gangster, but I got
some bangers, some shades, and some blazes, and a couple of nines, choppers and jimmies,
a partridge and pantry, my 20s and trips, it was nothin' but lies, I run at you hot like a sumo,
they say I talk like a chulo, I live in malls, I'm not Bruno, bitch I'm a duck, call me
Cujo, you play your cards, I'll reverse on you all, and I might just drop on like a
Uno, now yes, they broke out my home, how they call it Obuto, and all of you culo, never
better to level up in the ghetto, the ghetto, lookin' for somethin' I probably can never find
out, shigarilla, but tellin' to be tied down, I'm a true big nigga, they really want me tied
down, I've been alone and I never needed nobody, just only me and my shotty and tell these niggas
to lie down, keep all the money, I never wanted a lifestyle, I just pray to God I'm a son of a
yard right now, I said ain't no love for the other side or anyone who ever wants smoke,
when I die, I'm goin' out as an underdog who never lost hope, you in the wrong cab down
the wrong path, make a wrong way, wrong road, stakes in the grass, tryna slither fast, I
just bought a fuckin' lawnmower, bro, I just said a lot of things in my day, I admit it,
this is payback in a way, I regret it that I did it, I don't won a couple Grammys, but
I sold my soul to get em, wasn't in it for the trophies, just a fuckin' recognition, fuck's
a difference, I'm that cracker, been in the law, fuckin' rules, man I used to risk it
all, now I got too much to lose, I been eatin' long enough, man my stomach should be full,
I just ate, lick the plate, my buffet, lucky me, fuck you dick, woo!
I got a couple of mentions, still I don't have any manners, you got a couple of ghostwriters,
but to these kids it don't actually matter, they're askin' me what the fuck happened to
hip-hop, I said I don't have any cancers, cause I took a nail when I dropped my last album,
it hurt me like hell, but I'm back on these pathos and actually coming from humble beginnings,
I'm somewhat uncomfortable winning, I wish I could say what a wonderful feeling,
we're on the upswing like we're punching the ceiling, but nothin' is feeling like anyone has any fuckin' ability
to even stick to a subject, it's killin' me, the inability to pin humility, hudder the, budder the,
why don't we make a bunch of fuckin' thoughts about nothin' and mumble and fuck it, I'm goin' for the juggerless,
shit is assertive, you clowns that are comin' up, don't give an ounce of a motherfuckin' bout the ones
I mean, he's really washed up, dude.
What do you think about that?
You legit have to go down on the best part.
Shrimp, he's washed up, dude.
You know who's the other person?
We forgot Mac Miller yesterday.
Except for my ex got pissed because his beer got put on her,
and then she ran out, so then I had to go chase her,
and then in the front, it was an absolute shit show.
I had to watch the rest of the concert on the TV in the lobby.
Please tell me you dumped her right then.
That's why she's in Rucks.
No, I continued dating her for about four years.
We can go down the rabbit hole in my relationship
if we want to start this space out like that.
Just please tell me you at least referenced that incident
when you guys broke up, and you're like,
this is why we can't be together anymore.
No, actually, she left me.
I begged for her, cried for her.
Definitely tried my best to continue getting back with her.
Let her dwindle me along for, yeah.
Again, do we want to go down this rabbit hole?
No, it's too early, and I haven't had a drink yet,
so keep your fucking depressing beta shit to yourself for at least a little longer.
I was about to say, because, I mean, there's that one,
and there's at least like four or five others I can go down if we want.
I have a very horrible track record.
Yeah, how about you take that energy and use it to fucking pump this space,
because this is an unacceptable amount of people in here.
I'm about to throw a fucking shit fit.
All right, I'm going to jump.
Like, retweet the space, get this fucking show on the road.
That's a great reset, Shroom.
Dude, I was DM banned all fucking day.
I couldn't, like, after that.
Don't pretend like you start sending this out.
Yeah, you didn't even fucking schedule the space.
So being DM banned has literally no impact whatsoever on this.
How do you even send enough DMs to get DM banned?
Well, they don't DM back.
I don't know how it happened, bro.
I honestly don't, because I had never been DM banned
since they moved it down to 500.
I got DM banned when it was 1,000 DM limit,
but I never got DM banned at 500.
now that I've been looking more into this whole
You can get an Azuki for fucking peanuts right now.
You keep saying that, but it's P2P.
No, dude, Yevon, you missed his whole trap.
Yevon, you should have heard Malik's whole spiel at 5 o'clock.
He's talking about this tinfoil hack conspiracy theory,
like Blur's going to fucking own 10% of every NFT collection
Like you have to fucking.
But they can call it in whenever they want.
They are going to be the ones.
They're going to be the ones lending money.
You have no way of knowing which wallets they control.
They're going to be the ones lending money.
And eventually, they're going to fucking formally say,
hey, we're going to be in here.
We're going to be doing it.
And people are going to welcome it because they're going to want the liquidity.
It's going to pump initially.
And then when the shine wears off, people are going to want the liquidity.
They're going to say, all right, we're going to put in money
and we're going to do this.
And everyone's going to get excited because more fucking money.
And all they're going to do is just take all of those fucking.
Because it's predatory lending, man.
They're going to take all this shit.
And they're going to control the market.
I want to definitely hear from Ben.
Did you hear this Tim Foil hat shit, Yevon?
They're controlling A-9 wallets.
And they're the ones putting out.
Yevon's agreeing with me, buddy.
Because here's the thing.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
And I also got three E's.
And I'm looking at this situation like, wait.
I can lend some idiot my Izuki and he's going to have to pay me interest daily if he can't
And then you're telling me that I can go and buy two Izukis off the floor and immediately
relist them through 20, 35% above floor.
And if they sell, I get to keep that money.
This is kind of cracked because it's allowing people who don't own the asset but want to
trade it to participate in a unique fashion.
I've been freaking out about this since I've met Manny.
Literally for like a year.
Manny is a crack addict with fucking sending NFTs out on loans and leveraging those NFTs.
And I'm glad it's finally on ETH, bro.
I'm glad it's on ETH now, man.
It's been working great for the m'lady floor, up like nearly 40% since they announced.
How the fuck were they one of the three first clubs?
DGods have a partnership with Blur.
They're on the front page when you go to Blur.
I saw someone tweet it out.
Pure something for the loan or whatever.
I guess the mortgage shit.
They said that you didn't get a DGod for as low to as zero ETH down.
Listen to what we are saying.
This is literally the shit.
This is how corporations suck up all the idiots' money, dude.
Because you and I are on the side of the person who gets the loan, and these guys are predatory lenders.
That's what the problem is.
I'm about to get a DGods for nothing right now.
I'm literally checking this out right now.
No, and then you sit there, Bunny, and you tweet, just picked up this DGod for zero ETH.
Oh, it's going to go nuts.
How do you fucking do this, dude?
Oh, you can't do that yet.
You can only do the Zookies and stuff.
You're not co-host tonight.
It was Yevon who said that.
No, I'm going to come out with a little bit of a hot take here.
The only thing that was propping up the Bored Ape and Yuga ecosystem was Bendow lending, allowing Franklin to modulate the floor.
So to suddenly have people get upset that that is happening out natively within a trading platform and not through a third party is just fucking stupid.
Like, if you're smart, it's a really, really good tool to use.
You can offer up liquidation.
So like Cirrus is going to fucking kill it, dude.
And the thing that people aren't understanding with this is like, yes, there are ways to get fucked by it.
And we've seen time and time again, no matter what asset you hold, people taking loans against their apes, taking loans against whatever and not being able to pay them back, which is stupid.
Like, that's just pure stupidity.
But that happens in crypto.
That happens with lending for mortgages, for cars, for anything.
Any form of lending inherently punishes stupidity.
So like, I don't know what you're mad about.
Like, if you have a credit card, you can't get mad.
I'm not mad about this, dude.
You're getting it all wrong.
But what I'm saying is people aren't understanding how fucking, like, predatory and dangerous this shit can be if you don't know what you're doing, which 90% of people don't know what the fuck they're doing.
But I think it's the same way.
That's only in Malik's tinfoil hacking.
I haven't even gotten to that part yet.
I haven't even gotten to that part yet.
I'm just on its actual face.
But like, yeah, I mean, that's the nature of like taking any kind of loan, right?
Because you're under the assumption that like you can, you know, you have income to continue spending.
That, you know, the asset that you purchase isn't going to take in value.
That's the risk of any form of loan.
That's the risk with the housing market.
You mortgage a house, right?
What you just said is literally like you said the fucking important part quiet, right?
Like, if the asset tanks in value and like we're talking about an insanely volatile market,
like this is not a fucking house, right?
Like these things just fucking go up and down like at whim.
And like you get fucked really, really, really hard if it happens like that.
And, you know, the Azuki floor drops to fucking 12.
Yeah, that's the same thing that happened with Bendout liquidations for the last year, right?
Like that's why we saw significant fluctuations.
Like that's why apes took big swings.
A lot of it came down to Bendout liquidations, pushing the floor down to, you know, 10th below what the loan was worth or 5th below what the loan was worth.
I think just – I think people want to find a reason to continue to hate blur despite the major benefits it's provided, which is instant liquidity to the market.
People love blur because I fucking despise OpenSea.
Anybody who is competing with OpenSea has my fucking vote.
So I have one place where I will admit there is a downside, which is that the ETH lending does partially come from the blur pool.
So I don't love that connotation, right?
Like I don't love the aspect of like potentially the money you put in the blur pool could be used in some form of lending because that's a little bit weird.
But other than that, like it's a fucking – it's a major W for blur.
It's a major W for the ecosystem.
And like I think it's going to pan out super well for people who already were lending against their assets and it was working.
Like now they can just do it natively in one place and they're not going from bend out to, you know, take a loan against and then using that over on a different platform.
It's all self-contained and they've done it in a really smart way.
Did anyone notice that Shrimp pinned something to the top that had nothing to do with blur?
It legit says – well, okay.
I told you it was Paraspace NFT.
I didn't tell you it was blur.
We were talking about blur.
It's literally the first word in the title of space.
I hadn't even heard the word Paraspace tonight.
Yeah, but this was the thing I was telling you about.
You can get a dig out for zero a week.
Okay, well, that seems like a scam.
Yeah, let's go to Empress and then I'm going to tell Finn my crazy take.
Let's go to Empress first.
Look, the reality is as much as people want to separate the business from personal side of things and say it's all about money,
similar to the conversation we had in the DMs about Milady,
this space and the momentum behind a community is market manipulation in this space.
And when you are putting vulnerable parties that aren't as educated –
we literally have to spend half of our spaces saying not financial advice
because there are morons that aren't fiscally responsible running around here doing stupid shit.
And all I see is a recipe for disaster when somebody overextends themselves taking on these loans
and thinking that they're going to be baller status and then some predatory lender calls it in
because they apparently only have to give –
they literally can say, okay, you're authorized for the loan
and then this person might think they have three weeks
and then the lender an hour later can say you've got 30 hours to pay it all back in full
and then that person's fucked.
It's like toxicity brewing that's going to tilt half of what's already going on
with all this community madness.
And think of the fucking drama.
Dude, I have two things completely unrelated.
Well, let's stick on the –
First of all, I lost my train of thought.
No, I'm thumbs down on him, dude.
But I want to get these guys' take on the real conspiracy theory
Go into your tinfoil hat.
Here's the tinfoil hat, all right?
Blur is going to be basically on the lending side of these, right?
They're going to be doing it –
You're the lawyer, but I'm going to cover you.
No, you're the lawyer, but I'm going to cover you.
By saying it's a theory, I don't have to say allegedly anymore, okay?
So the theory is Blur is on the lending side of these.
They go on accumulating all of these fucking Izukis, let's just say.
And at some point, they're going to have a massive fucking pool of these things.
They're not going to sell them.
They're going to hold them.
And at some point, they're going to be able to then turn around and say,
but we're going to switch to a lending model.
And now if you want to fucking have an Izuki or you want to get the benefits
from Izuki, you have to fucking pay us to essentially borrow the Izuki, right?
And this is, I think, if they can pull this off and if they are able to
essentially manipulate – also, they can manipulate the floor price because they
control a fucking massive amount of the supply.
They can then be like forcing liquidations essentially, accumulating more supply,
and then turn around and flip this thing on its head and turn it from a lending
model to a renting model.
Here's the one interesting point to what you're saying, though.
There is the refinance option.
So I'm curious, though, how that works with – so if someone initiates a recall,
can you just refinance to avoid it?
They basically say you borrow – so the example is you borrow 10 ETH and the floor
Your lender called your loan.
There's another loan offer from another lender available for 10 ETH, an interest rate
Your loan will automatically be refinanced with this new loan offer.
So it kind of prevents – like, they are making an attempt to not allow someone to price
manipulate in the same ways.
Well, that's assuming that Blur isn't the fucking one refinancing your loan, right?
Oh, I mean, I think for short term it's like 100% sure that Blur up front is financing a
good chunk of these loans.
Like that – therein lies the problem, right?
Like this shit would not fly anywhere besides Web3.
Like this is patently illegal.
But that's the same – that's just, you know, the same as if like, you know, a fucking
token is launching and people have to be the liquidity pool at the start.
Like that's just fucking – that has to happen.
You can't have a lending protocol with no money to lend from.
But what I'm saying is that like being on both sides of a loan, right, and having like
interest on both sides, like you cannot do that in real life, right?
Like you can't – like there are like consumer protection laws and like all kinds of other
shit in place because it is so easy to fucking abuse.
And like what I was saying earlier is it seems like these Blur guys – and not just Blur
but like, you know, other people as well in this space are like going back and realizing,
wait, there's no regulation.
I can do whatever the fuck I want.
And they're going back in 200 years and reading like laws that were, you know, initiated
because of like extreme abuse and like manipulation and whatever 200 years ago that were like outlawed.
And they're like, well, we can just do that again now.
It's like we're seeing – we're literally like in the 1800s of fucking finance right
I'm reading more in here.
And I think this will make you – this will make some people a little more comfortable.
They explain the process a little better.
So in certain instances, you may be called on to repay or refinance your loan by lender.
This can happen at any time but will most likely happen if the floor price of your NFT
Example, you borrow 10 ETH when the floor price is 12 and then the floor price falls to 10
The lender may call on your loan because the floor price is too close to the amount they
When this happens, an automatic process will kick off to find a new lender for your loan
at a similar term to your existing loan.
If a new lender is not found within six hours, you'll need to repay or refinance your loan within
You can repay directly from your portfolio page.
Currently, you must repay the full amount of your loan borrowed balance.
But in the near future, you'll be able to repay partial amounts to extend your loan at
So they're putting protections in place because of some of those.
You're going to have severe mental illness to buy a fucking NFT for 15 ETH where you're
putting down like 0.6, dude.
That's a different – that's a little bit of a different – that's a whole different
But nevertheless, right, it's like this idea that you can just keep extending and extending
And like, yeah, in theory, like in some cases, that's good and that is a protection.
In other cases, it's just letting you dig yourself deeper into the fucking hole, right?
So like that's the concern.
And like there has been nothing, nothing whatsoever that I've seen in the last year and a half
plus in this space that tells me that people are ready for this kind of fucking like ability
to just like, you know, extend credit.
Like they're like just – most people aren't.
Like this is the problem in this country, right?
In the U.S. is like we have a major credit crisis because everything – everyone just
like fucking runs shit off credit and doesn't think about how to pay that back.
And like, yeah, the hardcore DGens and the ones who have been doing this and know what
they're doing, like they're going to fucking kill it.
But the vast majority of people are going to get annihilated and it's going to be a fucking
Dan, where – dude, Dan, what's up, man?
I just got back from Atlanta, you know, back in Florida.
You know, you never told me about spaces, buddy.
That's why I was late, man.
You know, I was waiting for the space.
It's at 9.30 every night.
This guy's a real character, dude.
It's because my Pepe bag is like, you know, I mean, you know, I don't even know why
Deflect, deflect, deflect.
You can't just take some accountability.
If you've bought any meme coin in the last year and a half, dude, unfollow me right now,
Wait, Dan, did you get laid in Atlanta?
I mean, almost definitely not.
Dan didn't hit me up that night.
He said he wanted to go out.
Dude, I can't leave me 20 minutes from shrimp.
And you didn't even fuck –
Like, the guy could literally –
It's like a fucking $30 Uber for him to get to Atlanta.
And you didn't even hit him up, man.
I told him that he just needed to tell me where in Buckhead.
And then he left me on delivered.
You know, I was home shitcoining, to be honest.
So he wanted to know where to go out.
And then I just told him –
He's totally lying to you.
He totally went out that night.
Dan, it's like that, man.
He wanted the alpha, but he didn't –
He wasn't going to, like, bring you along.
He just wanted the alpha.
Dude, the funny thing is, he doesn't realize he –
I would be bringing him along.
He does not understand how many bartenders I know.
Also, how many that I dated.
I knew you were going to go there next.
I knew that was going to be the next thing.
Yeah, but he doesn't understand.
He won't break something if he flexes.
Have you ever seen how big this guy is?
The drinks would have been ten times cheaper if you just let me go with them.
He doesn't need your cheap drinks, haven't you heard?
He's a fucking Pepe Trillionaire.
Yeah, they don't accept Pepe in Atlanta.
Dude, that motherfucker's Z.
He was up, like, 1100 ETH, dude.
That's, like, a fictional amount of money.
You can buy all the apes for that.
I bet you can send apes back to, like, 70 if you bought with 1,000 ETH.
It's crazy that Jimmy was being such a dick today, right?
Like, this guy minted hundreds of apes.
You didn't see Jimmy Dottie's tweet?
He said if you bought a meme coin in, like, the last month, go fuck yourself.
I mean, interesting take, right?
Like, fuck yourself if you bought meme coins and made money, but I'm a genius because I fucking bought this shit coin with a JPEG attached to it.
Bow down to me and my intelligence.
Yeah, great take by Jimmy.
And he had to sell all of his apes for, like –
Not all of them, but he sold a bunch of apes right before tax season.
He literally comes off as super, super salty.
Oh, is he the one who dumped rares into bids?
I saw someone made an interesting comment about him today, which is I think that he's trying to get out of NFTs and could have done it by just logging out of Twitter and instead decided to just, like, scorched earth, like, talk shit, which kind of makes sense.
I mean, I love talking shit, but it's just a weird flex.
When you made all your money off of fucking cartoon animal art and then you're, like, bitching about people making money off of cartoon animal tokens, I don't know.
I mean, like, come on, dude.
But also, like, why bitch about what people are doing anyway?
Oh, I love bitching about what people are doing.
I only bitch about people who bitch about people.
Yeah, but then you're just as bad as everybody else.
Like, you're actually a hypocrite and you're as bad as everybody else.
You want me to pin the Jimmy Tweet?
All right, let me look for this.
Fuck off with that hundred thing.
The Nakamigos tweeted something.
Floor didn't move at all.
And we have all kinds of speculation going off in all 20 group chats.
Are the Nakamigos pumping Beeple's art for a change?
The floor went up, like, 0.02 ETH.
So, like, certainly wasn't.
You said the floor didn't move at all.
Dude, 13% is nothing in Bunny's eyes.
Well, actually, more than 50%.
I'm watching my Pepe go up.
I'm going to try to get a mutant, I think.
I was just going to say, Pepe's fucking ripping.
If it's under 90, I'm going to cry.
Are we back at 530, 550, or what?
I'm not looking at the chart.
I'm trying to load OpenSea, but it's so shit.
Dude, Dan has become such a shit corner trader.
I heard someone say OpenSea.
What was that website called?
Wait, did you see that the OpenSea lawsuit happened today?
No one's going to get this, but Mal.
But Mal, you remember the contract you looked at for me for the IP deal?
With the video game studio?
So one of the people who signed that deal, and he's in the game that's coming out, right?
And apparently they put millions of dollars into the development of this.
And, like, they've talked to, like, Lionsgate and Netflix about making, like, a spinoff series around this game.
Dude, he traded his gutter cat, which is going to be in the game.
The crypto painter's been – if you can look at the timeline, he has been freaking out, dude.
Fuck, that is the risk that they take, right?
It's, like – so just a little background, guys.
There's, like, a video game that was being made to incorporate, like, NFT characters in the game.
It's like Kakin or Mortal Kombat, but with NFTs.
And so obviously, like, the idea is that, all right, you use my mutant, right?
You're going to pay me royalties for using it, and, like, I make money, and then you get a dope fucking character for your game, and everyone's happy and everyone wins.
The problem is that there is, like, some major downside exposure for the video game company because if I sell my mutant, then I can no longer, like, contract for that, right?
Yeah, that contract is void.
But – and this is, like – this is a major, major issue that, like, they just overlooked, and from what I remember, there was no kind of, like, clawback.
And there was no – like, there was nothing that they could do to, like, come against you, but Yuga's terms –
Like, they just – they deaded that character.
Yeah, but think how much money they wasted, right, by creating it.
But, like, Yuga's terms clearly say that if you, you know, sell or transfer, like, cease to own your ape, that it becomes basically, like, unburdened of anything that you had previously, like, burdened with, like, being, like, agreements, deals, contracts, licensing, all that shit.
So the next person doesn't have to, like, abide by the shit that you put on it.
So it's a major risk for these companies that are trying to, like, use the IP.
You said they put, like, literally millions into the development of this.
So, like, I get that it's got to be a shitty situation for him.
But also, like, on the holder's end, right, it's, like, a two-year time period, right, that you've got to wait for this.
So even, like, no matter how lucrative it could be, with, like, the volatility of NFTs, it's still tough.
Where are they at right now?
They were pegged to 100K for a really long time.
I was pretty, they were pretty, like, people were very insistent to not see them go below six figures.
What you're saying is they're free, right?
What I'm saying is they don't have a six-figure...
No one buys them, though.
There's, like, maybe 10 sales a day.
10 sales a day, that's still some, uh, substantial, uh, you know.
I mean, if you're from the soul chain, I'm pretty sure that's, uh, definitely.
She acts like MFers do volume, bro.
Especially with the Nakamigos.
There's volume of trades.
There's at least five Solana projects ahead of MFers.
You act like gutter cats should be in a video game.
I mean, it's good art, dude.
Yeah, it's about the art, bro.
No, Dan, you're not the co-host, dude.
You were late as fuck, bro.
We're going to go to Matt.
Did you guys buy the Pepe dip?
Everybody thought it was going to zero today.
I should have bought more.
Yeah, China hasn't even woken up yet.
And they're going to see that.
And they're going to pump it some more.
Bunny, your kids can go to college.
And you could stop eating Happy Meals.
You could maybe order something from, you know, the main menu at Wendy's or something like that.
I put all of next month's rant onto Pepe.
You should put the mortgage on it, baby.
How do you put Pepe in Chinese?
Empress, I was going to try and check and see if any other collections at a similar price
point were doing better volume than MFers.
And I was like, well, yeah, I'm going to just check Gutter Cat Gang.
Pepe had one sale in the last 24 hours for Below Floor.
Yeah, one single sale in 24 hours below Floor.
So Gutter Cat Gang is a collection that, like, there are a lot of OTC deals.
I don't want to say a lot.
I love your soft spot for that project.
I don't have a soft spot.
Do you know how much, but, dude, I lost a year's worth of rent on Gutter Cat Gang.
Gutter Cat is the first expensive-ish PFE that I ever bought.
Yeah, I didn't lose $20,000.
But it was the first, it was the first, like, big NFT purchase ever made was Gutter Rat.
The worst part of it, Finn, the worst part of it is the motherfucker that bought my Gutter
Cat, like, he's active on Twitter and it's his PFE, right?
You have to, like, see it.
You have to, like, get reminded of it.
I see this motherfucker all the time.
I'm like, this is horrendous, bro.
So, I hate that NFT so much.
Also, you can go ahead and get wrecked on a blur loan coming up soon.
If you could hit the button at the bottom where there's a three and retweet this face, we'd
If you already have, could you then retweet and retweet again?
If you'd like to take a mic, please follow your host and co-host.
That's just good manners.
If you're hate listening at the bottom, hate is harder, baby.
We're going to go ahead and go to Daniel.
Although, I'm sure he's going to say something nauseating about being rich and shitcoin.
Yeah, I just want to know what you guys were buying today.
I'm looking for, I'm looking for plays.
You know, I've been out of town.
I'm back, ready to buy shit.
Motherfucker, you're the one with the alpha.
You're the one with the alpha.
What kind of gaslighting bullshit is this?
Dude, you're literally the biggest gatekeeper ever and you're not telling us.
I was going to say, please don't ever say he has alpha.
He is the gatekeeper of the world.
He is not alpha, anything.
Dan, have you seen the Wall Street baby chart, bro?
This is another shit coin.
Yeah, I just took a loss.
They were requesting in our space, Dan, for weeks, dude, when you were co-hosting with me.
You might not remember that because it was so fucking long ago.
I let them on stage once by accident.
Wait, can we also talk about predatory DMs, though?
Because the Wall Street baby account from six different accounts was in my DMs and mass tagging me on every tweet.
Yeah, it turns out that was alpha.
That wasn't, they weren't harassing you.
They were giving you alpha.
It just nuked, and the other one just shot up to 11.
I actually just dumped four ETH into the new one.
So I'm just trying to rug myself again.
But I got fucked on the first one because I bought it, I 2xed, and then I just lost an ETH on it, writing it down.
So I dumped whatever I had left into the new one.
So we'll see how that goes.
I guess they're doing a space right now.
Speaking of shake coins, how do we feel about eight?
I mean, aren't they under four?
Have you ever heard of it?
Well, I know there was an ape, duh, that, like, rugged or something.
I don't know, like, a shit coin called ape.
No, dude, the real, like, the real one, bro.
Like, the one that's for the game that's coming out very, very soon.
It's coming out very soon.
I heard that ape was going to get flipped pretty soon by Pepe, actually.
You know what's funny is Ryder Rips tweeted today, this guy, who has, he has, like, a history
of horrendous takes within Web3.
Dude, he tweeted that Pepe was going to flip E in market cap.
Dude, that's an, that's honestly, like, as bullish as you could be on Pepe, that's a literal insane take.
Like, you can't possibly be that, though.
There actually isn't that much money in the world for Pepe to go to flip ETH.
ETH would have to literally drop it.
Yeah, but Malik, we can, we can just print more money.
That's, that's, like, what is that what the US does?
We just, like, print more money and then there's enough money to do it?
No, we're going to the Bitcoin standard, didn't you hear?
Oh, we're going to the Bitcoin standard.
All right, we should print a lot more money before that happens.
Yeah, yeah, no, obviously.
Obviously, you gotta fucking hit, hit the fucking printer, make it go burr one last time.
You gotta, you gotta print that.
Wasn't it crazy, though, that, like, something like 40% of the US currency in circulation was printed during COVID?
Isn't that, like, when you think about that, 40%?
I was trying to bring Goody up.
I was going to say, I don't do it.
40% of the currency, you were saying.
There's no shit court alpha.
Bunny was just texting me.
He said, he's like, I'm going to drop you and co-host Dan.
But he left, so I guess we can't do that anymore.
You were saying about 40% of all the money in circulation was printed during COVID, that
our fucking entire financial system is a fucking joke.
Yeah, and that was the gist of it.
I got to take us back for a second.
Let's talk about how everybody in Nakamigos was supposed to make profit.
Let's talk about how the Sixers were 11-point dogs, Matt.
They were 11-point dogs, dude.
On the road, game one of the second round.
Turns out James Harden dropped 45, dude.
Go ahead with whatever you were going to say.
I feel like you don't know who I am, Matt.
But I'm glad to learn about it.
But what I heard was buy Nakamigos, sell it, and buy an MF-er because it's going to go
And it's been pretty stagnant.
Wait, Nakamigos don't have the story.
You were definitely not listening.
Empress wants to feel heard and recognized, guys.
So let's all go around the room.
Let's all take turns and say our favorite thing about Empress.
You guys are always fudding Nakamigos.
So I was literally retaliating.
I'm not fudding Nakamigos.
We're trying to give you compliments.
I made a lot of money off Nakamigos.
I sold for a loss, bought back in at the top, and still sold for profit.
Like, I literally bought in at 0.14.
How do you buy in at the top and sell for profit?
That's literally impossible.
I bought in the semi-top.
I bought in before, I think, Beeple tweeted about something.
I bought in, like, literally, like, an hour before 10KTF, tweeted that nonsense.
I bought in at, like, 0.5-something, and then I sold at, like, 0.9.
But I first bought initially at 0.14 and sold for 0.1.
So that one hurt a little bit.
I can't even fathom selling for a loss.
I literally will not do it.
I'll just hold it to zero.
Like, dude, like, at least make some of your money.
I will not accept the humiliation.
I will fucking die with that thing in my mind.
I will let it rot and fester in my wallet.
And then, and only then, when it has at least two zeros after the decimal, only then will
I fucking send that shit to hell and write it off on my tax.
Like, okay, I don't know how much you paid for your mutant.
You spent 20 ETH on your unit.
You spent 3.89 on the mutant, right?
Okay, so if this hits 3 ETH, you're not taking it back?
At least give me my money back.
Like, a nice little reimbursement.
I almost spent $1,000 on this the other day, and Yevon was down to split the bet with me.
It's D-Gods versus Mutants, 60-day time period.
I think there's about 56 days left, 56 or 57 days left since I would have made this bet.
Who will have a higher floor price?
D-Gods or Mutants, two months' time.
Dude, why would I take...
I think it was Spencer on the Nifty Morning Show today who said, like, the best indicator of future price is current price, right?
So why would I take the asset?
The word that's the one who's never bought the top.
Like, dude, it's got to be Mutants 60 days left.
If Mutants are less than D-Gods 60 days from now, I don't even want to know what the fucking board Ape price is, dude.
It'll always be Yuga that'll win, in my opinion, bro.
If you had the money to buy a Mutant or a D-God, everyone's going to pick a Mutant.
That's just the way it is.
Well, dude, but right now, you're saving two weeks.
So, like, I mean, you're expecting it to go up within the next two months.
You know, you could stake ApeCoin.
What do you get with a D-God that you don't get with a Mutant?
Don't buy that shit in comparison to a Mutant.
If you could afford a Mutant, buy a Mutant over a D-God every day.
The only value you get from a D-God is that you're cool in the D-Gods community.
Man, you know what's crazy about your PFP is, like, invisible...
Like, everybody thought imaginary ones was, like, an invisible friend's derivative, but
their floor is just as high as yours.
Dude, I can't believe they didn't go to zero.
I actually looked at it the other day, and I was like, holy crap.
Bro, that shit was 0.4 in, like, the middle of February.
They dropped that Bubble Rider game.
I played Bubble Rider for, like, a bit.
It was actually, like, a pretty dope game that they came out with, which, like, if you
were in, like, the top whatever, you got access to their allow list for their second
But that shit's up to, like, almost 1.2.
Like, I would have swore they would have rugged and took that money out, bro.
Art is horrendous on that project.
Like, honestly, like, I hate who Invisible Friends are, but it's actually worse than
Invisible Friends is cool.
That was the, like, I would have done fucking damn near anything to get whitelist for that
shit back in the day, and I have never been so happy, so fucking happy to not get whitelist,
because I'd still be bad.
I'm actually bullish on Invisible Friends, because CoinBilly came on Spaces today, and
he was just schooling Malik on the whole Blurr thing, so it made me a little bit bullish
Speaking of Blurr, like, when are we going to start seeing all these, like, lone PFP motherfuckers
come out of the woodwork?
Like, bro, I'm so happy we're talking about this.
That was the worst thing.
Wait, so this has happened before.
I'm already thinking about a Mizuki, Matt.
I gotta say, I already wanted a Mizuki.
It happened with the fractional ones.
Do you remember, uh, do you remember, uh, do you remember, uh, do you remember, you remember
You bought a Bagner-deriv.
I was actually on the phone with Borovic when he sold.
He sold at .42 and .4, which was, like, literally the pico top, and I was like, nah, there's
an hour until public Miz starts.
Uh, and I still have two Bagners, so.
Remember, you, well, you met Kove at the, um, NFT event.
Dude, Kove is, Kove, Kove is, he is a legend, dude.
He held me down with that, bro, because it's crazy.
Like, everyone was like, yo, how'd you get whitelist for Bagner?
And I was like, bro, I went to college with one of the founders, bro.
Wait, we were talking about with D-Gods, you get something, or you don't get anything, and
No, you get something, dude.
But what, what do you get with Mizuki?
Because Mizuki's wrecking everything.
You get direct access to rent a hotel for more money, which comes with free merch.
Okay, but Mizuki's wrecking everything.
You get to be cool in Chinese.
Also, the hotel's more expensive than if you just bought it yourself, but you get the
Thanks, Bongo, for clearing that up.
The cost ironically in the market is exactly the difference between the hotel rooms.
Oh, dude, I know what that means.
And anyone who's not bilingual, uh, like May.
That's how you turn that bulk up off of us.
That last, that last word wasn't actually a word.
Nah, she made that shit up.
Uh, no, so I'm, I'm looking, I'm looking at it now, right?
Like the, the Azuki, the buy, buy, buy, so here's, here's the, here's the thought process
I think most people are going off of, right?
So if I do it right now, it's 0.8 ETH upfront.
And then if I sell it for a higher value, I clear the profits, plus there's liquidity and
the Florida profit is razor thin, right?
So you're essentially taking just the risk of, it's, it's a normal flip risk, right?
Like, but there's almost a guarantee that no matter what you could just like dump back
into the value, you won't lose unless the floor catastrophically tanks.
And the question, I forget what account it was, Ben, but one of the accounts that like
I legitimately respect tweeted something that the easiest way to sell your NFT is going to
be by loaning it on blur.
It's, it's so easy because like, okay, so right now I can, okay, I put up 0.7, not
I take an Azuki for 15, eight.
The liquidity is there to sell at 16, two.
And you can look at that in the recent sales history, liquidity is there over 16 for Azuki's.
You clear those profits and you don't need 16 ETH to flip that NFT.
Like to me, that's basically like the reality is now people who don't have 16 ETH can still
So if you did that when it was first announced on the ladies, like you, you would have been
able to make a decent amount.
You would have, you would have made like 0.6, 0.7.
You would have actually killed, like you would have legitimately killed it, dude.
Well, so, so someone, so here, right.
So like someone just did it with an Azuki, they paid 0.04 for the Azuki, borrowed 15 ETH
And then it, they took 0.5 profit.
Like, I don't, I think people are looking at it like from the negative connotation.
Is there a speculative play to front run the next, like, right?
Like D-Gods, Mutants, Borda, like, yeah.
I see going to be the next grouping of projects that get thrown on this, on this blend protocol.
So like if apes, if apes go on this, right, I could buy an ape for that three or four ETH
and then immediately flip it into profits.
If apes go on there, I'm getting them, you know, I don't know anybody.
Well, I'm saying, I'm saying that because I can buy a CryptoPunk for four ETH through
So yeah, then we'll call that, that, that's a fair assumption.
And if you think about that, Punk's even crazier, right?
So Punk's, I buy four ETH for 55.
There are only three until you're in 57, two to 58, and then one to 59 ETH.
Like, I don't think people understand.
Man, that's a four, that's a potential of like three to four ETH profit off a single
purchase with only four ETH of collateral up front.
So if you're thinking about it from a trading perspective, it's fucking genius.
But to Malik's point and to Emerson's point, the fucking bozos are going to look at it as
like, oh, I'm going to finance my profile picture.
Could you imagine if Tab still had his mega collar?
Dude, he could have just made, he could have made passive income for the rest of his life
Here's the thing is that if you, if you do that, right?
Like, like what you just said, right?
You, I, I, you can buy the bottom five, you know, punks and raise the floor by 80th or
But like, you are assuming that someone is going to then buy it at that new floor price
that you're going to take that bottom one and flip it at the top.
Yeah, but someone's you're, you're going to get wrecked because other people are already
going to have done this and you're just raising the floor for them to profit off.
So it almost prevents, you know, it does, it kind of prevents Franklin's method, which
was buy up the floor, flip it for a profit.
Cause if you suddenly have a ton of people who can counteract like floor manipulation like
that fucking genius, it's like when you're buying the floor, that's already somebody
Or had already done this and listed it.
It just, to me, all this does is create crazy action at the very bottom, like at the
Um, and I think that it's, I don't know, it just, it feels much like the blur shit, very
like artificially gamed and like ultimately not productive for the projects.
It's it, I think the productive aspect is that floor manipulation just becomes a little
Um, unless you have significant bags.
Like if you're, if you're someone like a OTC punk or whatever, who can buy 25 or 30 punks
at a time, that's a little bit different, but for the average buyers on these average collections,
like, I think we're just going to see like, cause the other recently, right.
We saw those people who were like putting up mass bid walls to pump floors.
Like we know manipulation is happening.
Franklin was very transparent about his, the way he manipulated the board eight floor, the
way he created profit there.
This allows someone like myself being illegal.
But like that, that's when I go in and it's going to kill mid market, like NFT projects as
well, because think about like, why would you spend?
0.8 on a sappy seal or something when you can put down 0.8 on a fucking azuki?
Oh, first of all, sappy seals.
I was going to say you're way off the mark there, but that's the, that's a great point.
Why would you spend 0.5 on a sappy seal or whatever?
They have the same market cap as little in three days or some shit like that.
It's going to kill these mid market projects.
Nah, because you know what I do on a project like sappy seals?
I would put mine up for, I would, I would allow mine, like I would use mine for collateral.
I would, I'd allow, I'd put in liquidity for those lending and just take a APR, EPI profit
Like it'd be the easiest money ever.
And knowing seals, they're going to fucking default on that anyway.
Uh, and then I get an NFT plus the interest.
So like, nobody's buying a sappy seal fan.
My favorite great valued ape, Cal.
I'm so excited, Cal's up here.
He's the best great valued ape on the block.
If I, if you guys thought, I thought it was going to zero now.
It's going to negative now.
You're going to look at your metamask and there's going to, you're going to hold that
People are going to get wrecked, right, Cal?
Because I'm about to, bro.
I'm just saying the moment, the moment apes are available for this, like I'm going to
That's the only one that's worth it.
If you do get it, you could literally get paid for holding the ape though.
Wait, dude, you just say apes aren't going to be available for this.
Are you out of your mind, Cal?
Bro, there's like a good chance and I'm like 50, 50 on this, that it's more like a political
Why weren't they included as the first fucking things as part of this?
They're the most highest traded, most volume asset in all of NFTs, bro.
Why weren't they the first ones?
Because you let people see how it worked and then you put the most important one.
Oh, so the Zookies and the ladies and fucking what's it's nuts were the first.
No, I've got a theory on this too, though.
Like if we were going to guess, if we were going to guess the top three, the guesses would
have been punks, apes, and the Zookies, right?
So only one of them was wrong.
No, that's the wrong price point.
They needed a middle price point.
There's an agreement with the backdoor agreement with the ladies and the Zookies.
I don't know as much as Zookies because they know they're not going to be selling that
He's threatened to hack your...
They were like, we're going to hack your protocol.
You're rugging really hard, buddy.
I think he just told me I'm rugging.
No, everybody else is not rugging.
Yo, buddy, I think everyone around you is rugging, but I'm glad you can hear me.
Tao, you are cranky as usual, but I've never heard you this cranky when Basie isn't included,
You're just late to the party, but you're still going to be brought on board, man.
Don't be so mad about it.
No, Yevon, there's a theory here, man, and I think it's a good one.
As to why the apes aren't in there.
Shut the fuck up, you rugging fucker.
We're not being assholes.
And my point was, jerk face, people are not total morons.
There are people who are going to want to get a loan within their means.
They needed a lower price point project, like in the 3-Eth realm versus the 12-Eth realm
to get people to start biting.
Yeah, but M'Ladies is an insane choice.
There's a hundred other projects.
They probably went based on volume.
I don't disagree, but I'm saying that's why they picked one, though.
They probably went based on volume.
Actually, before I go, because I was going to jump back down, my theory to why they picked
M'Ladies versus Doodles, Mutants, Moonbirds, or Bored Apes, okay?
I picked a lot of people there.
The reason I think they didn't pick them is because those floors have been a lot more
volatile than M'Lady, Azuki, and the Punks.
And that's my straight tinfoil personal theory.
And I swear to goodness, I don't know where it came from, but I've been thinking about that
for like three or four hours now.
Where have you been, Yevon?
Fucking miss hearing your takes.
I mean, dude, I've been working a real job, making sure that I get a fucking paycheck.
There's no money left in this bitch, bro.
Don't get me wrong, dude.
This shit is still fun to participate and to be swinging the bat, if you will.
But I think it is important to secure your stability with webtubing.
Nobody knows what they're doing.
They're going to take money they can't fucking pay back just because it's 80%.
Nobody fucking understands this shit.
I'm about to go fucking put 9Eth and just take every single loan that's available, and
I'm going to go relist every single loan, and you guys are going to go buy Azukis that
Yeah, there's a good arbitrage here, but I think it's only temporary.
That aside, I think that as much as I fucking hate to say it, I absolutely love Bored Apes,
If you're looking to get a Bored Ape, you might be able to get one at a very low entry
price in the very near future.
That's what I'm waiting for, bro.
That is what I'm waiting for.
I'm waiting for that fucking former Mutant Price.
I think they did it for engagement, and I think it's a great fucking move.
I think that's people talking about it.
We're about to leverage 7K and buy it for 60K.
You're about to be able to buy a fucking Bored Ape for 30Eth, probably.
I just sent Yevon a screenshot of this, but the Azuki cheapest purchase point is 0.09
So for 0.1, which you're guaranteed to make up, because the next cheapest listing is 0.1
up, yeah, you're like in profit already.
You're listening to this speech.
Okay, and here's my second theory.
Yeah, it literally just sold.
I am going to jump down to the listener, and I'm just going to say it out loud, because
I have been thinking this in my head, too.
I genuinely think that all the bearishness around it, and as people use it and have positive
outcomes, people are going to be like, holy shit, fuck it, I'm going to try it.
And so naturally, it's just going to function as a product based off curiosity, and there
is supply and demand, that there's only so many of these.
So it's really going to change this thing, because I've always wanted an Izuki, dude.
I literally busted my ass off for 14 ETHs so that I could buy that Izuki.
The fact that if I would have held on to my 14 ETH, I could seriously have bought 20 Izukis
right now on loan and change the price, that's an interesting concept, that you're making little
people wails, that if people like me, who have a fucking head, they can do things that
this is going to be really, really, really interesting.
So I'm not going to FUD it.
I am going to participate.
I am going to try it, because FUD normally equals money.
I think you're ascribing a lot of education to a lot of people that don't have that financial
I see who's in this room.
I know who's on this stage.
You guys are fucking smart.
I'm talking about the rest of the community.
I'm not talking about the people up here.
At least like 60% of this room has been in the space for like, all right, 40 has been
in the space for like over a year and a half.
And how many of them are still getting wrecked?
How many of them just lost their shit ton of their bags on shit coins and whatever they
I'm shit faced right now.
So there's no way I'm touching my fucking ledger because I'm about to fat finger some
But there's going to be a temporary pump.
And then this is going to like make people think the fucking bull market is back and there's
going to be an inevitable dump after the shit and it might get really fucking nasty.
The fact that everyone is bearish makes me kind of bullish because I love going against
what everyone else does always.
But I think what Blur is trying to do is become the iron bank of Web3 where you can do everything
You could loan and so on and so forth.
And they're going to try to take as much money as they can from Paraspace and Bendow.
But I think the end game is going to be really fucking nasty for a while.
It's going to be a fucking cold summer, dude.
Well, what's the difference between Blur's version and Paraspace's version where you can
get a D-God for like zero down right now?
Nobody knows what Paraspace is and everybody knows what Blur is.
Tao, I know Tao has more.
Because you could go get a D-God right now for zero each down on Paraspace too.
That sounds fucking ridiculous, dude.
Like, why the fuck aren't people going and doing that except for the fact that we all think
D-Gods don't give us anything?
No, I literally just told you.
Nobody knows who Paraspace is and everybody knows who Blur is.
Yeah, just like up until today, people were like, who is Paraspace?
If you are just joining us, we have conflicted results on how we feel about the new Blender
We are ripping face on Pepe again.
Once again, turn on the ice cream machine at McDonald's.
If you could hit the button at the bottom where there's a five and retweet the space, which
If you already have, could you un-retweet and retweet again?
If you'd like to take money, follow your host and co-hosts.
That's just good manners.
If you're hate listening at the bottom, well, you know, you could be talking shit up here
And all he knows is that that makes me so happy and warm and fuzzy inside because I just
Shrimp, we haven't heard from you in a minute.
I got my buddy down there in the listeners.
He got out of NFTs and now he's back into them.
So I've just been DMing him all the updates.
But he said that the space actually has a lot of people that sounds like they know their
You guys sound like you know their shit.
Well, to be fair, Bunny hasn't been able to talk for like at least 10 minutes.
So Bunny is junk driving, but he ruined my joke.
I don't want to know anything.
I just want to know what your macros are.
Shrimp, you're a beefy motherfucker, bro.
Yo, you see how big that motherfucker is?
He doesn't even sound like that.
I'd give a noogie to, bro.
It's short kings that are always ripped as fuck.
Yeah, that's why I asked.
When you deadlift, you only got to go up like a couple inches.
When I deadlift, I got to go up like three fucking feet, bro.
He's probably like 5'11 and says he's six foot.
I'm six foot five, motherfucker.
I'm like six foot five, bro.
You walk around like my son, bro.
People are going to think I'm your dad.
My sister dated somebody who was six foot five once.
That was the best I've ever been at, like, basketball at the park.
Dude, I used to throw alley-oops to this motherfucker, Tao.
It was the best couple years of my life, bro.
Well, it wasn't your best game.
Dude, I was racking up assists, Tao.
I was literally throwing them.
I was throwing the ball off the backboard.
Dude, you throw it up, and he was going to dunk it.
Wait, how tall are you, Benny?
I'm five foot ten, which is, like, well above average, from what I understand.
I think average height is five nine.
You hopped in his fanny pack.
I'm well above average height.
I'm basically a giant, dude.
Wait, it's five nine average?
What's average for women, then?
Do you see how tall I am?
I'm fucking seven inches taller than Bongo, dude.
I tower over that motherfucker.
I'm way taller than Shrip.
Turn up to the NBA or something.
I was just going to talk about six four.
That's, like, a ridiculous height.
Just so you know, Benny, according to the internet, the average height for a U.S. man is five feet nine inches.
Yes, you can buy an Izuki for a point, Sam.
Wait, first, I want everyone to be in awe that I'm five eight.
All right, now you can ask a question.
Hey, so, uh, how did, how did anyone find this Peppy coin early?
I found it seven days in, but I'm, like, super curious.
You follow Empress, Bunny, and Malik, and they give you all the alpha.
First of all, this motherfucker found it early, bro.
Like, what is he talking about?
I mean, seven days is not that early.
I mean, there's 2,000% profit on there already, right?
Okay, so here, I saw it at 300 holders, and I remember pulling up the contract, and it just
Somebody was like, I just ate this shit coin with the 12,000 market cap, and now it's at
a 33,000 market cap, and I was like, hey, man, which shit coin are you talking about?
And he's like, oh, check out this contract, and I was like, oh, okay, let me go check
Uh, 300 holders, Pepe, what the fuck?
Hey, guys, check out this fucking shit coin.
This guy just made a little bit of money on, if you guys are into shit coining, maybe
Hey, Yavin, that fucking shit coin you sent me the other day.
I fucking appreciate you.
Let me check this out again.
Um, no, dude, I already missed it.
I'm just gonna not even buy it.
Like, 600 holders, 300k market cap, like, this shit's gonna rug any minute.
I'm glad they made money.
Have a nice day, everybody.
What the fuck is this, Yavin?
Is this death of a salesman?
He's literally, he's just asked the question.
He's asking you how to find it early.
He said, how do you find it early?
Some fucking guy tweets about it.
You fucking ask him, what are you tweeting about?
And then you go tell your fucking friends.
We're not going down this rabbit hole again.
Did we need the whole fucking play-by-play, though?
You just shouldn't even buy it.
I gotta jump down because Bunny went to the store, and then he's rugged.
And now I'm rugged for him, but no one else.
So I'm gonna leave and come back.
Cassie, in answer to your question, welcome to Web3.
All the alpha is in who you know and how often you talk to them.
So that's how you figure it out.
All the alpha's in how cool the PFC do you have?
I didn't think you were actually new.
Did you hit all-time high?
Yeah, I sort of took it like six months break.
No, it's like literally a smidge under the new Alzheimer's.
All the alphas with a fucking cabal, bro.
You pretty much have to throw a dart and pray to God that this shit fucking 500 fuckers.
You gotta suck dick, basically, is what it is, boo.
You find the biggest cabal.
You gotta suck it for free.
I put a money printer in my bio because I suck at this.
Todd, I'm putting you in my group chat.
I don't want to be in any fucking group chats.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.
Me and Malik bought, if you know you know.
Biggest bullshit ever, bro.
Wait, you didn't get out on time?
Does nobody listen to me?
We didn't get no fucking Pepe.
Yeah, no big boy profits.
Did you see Mong's just went from 6 million market cap to 40
I got DM'd by somebody from that team, dude.
They were like shilling that shit hard in my DMs.
But it was like one of the DMs where it goes to the request,
so it's not in your real DMs.
I was going to trust that motherfucker.
Hey, Bunny, can you hear me now?
Oh, dude, we're so fucking back.
I couldn't hear him out, man.
He was the only one that rugs for me.
I'm adding Tal to your chat.
He might have left that one already, dude.
I'm telling you, don't add...
Like, the reason why you don't add Tal is because he leaves.
I don't give back any value, dude.
Just do what you're told.
Every group I get out to, I just mute,
and I never fucking ever open.
He's a cranky motherfucker, dude.
There's nothing worse than being added to your group chat.
And then you feel like a dick leaving immediately.
You sit there, and you're just like,
My shit has to be at zero at all times.
Everything has to be red.
I literally, I go in there just to, like, click in,
and immediately click out.
Just to show that it's red,
because I can't stand to see it unread.
The ones I don't care about,
the ones I don't care about,
I just shield my spaces in there,
and I pray that they kick me out.
I'm like, please kick me out of here.
I fucking hate this chat.
Dude, I was having a bad day.
I left, like, 35 fucking group chats.
I got, like, 12 DMs asking if I was okay.
I was like, what the fuck?
When are you having a good day?
...for being like, are you okay?
I always have a good day, bro.
I just like, it's fun being bearish.
I love being bearish, too.
But you take it to another level.
I like being bearish about crypto and shit,
just because I'm like, oh,
this just means I'm going to be able to get in.
It's like my way of excusing the fact
that I'm sitting on entirely too many fucking stables,
and so I just, I'm trying to will a fucking worse bear into existence.
Like, it actually warms your heart and brings you joy.
Dude, I fucking love being...
I channel it to motivate me to fucking do better.
you know how the Sith shoots lightning out of his hands?
Except it comes out of my mouth.
Apparently, Pepe was mentioned on Yahoo Finance.
I don't think Yahoo's relevant anymore, is it?
The ladies are cooking, bro.
Yeah, I feel like being featured on Yahoo's bearish.
It's like, yeah, get out.
We're at $5.75 market cap.
It is going absolutely parabolic right now.
And the best part about it is China didn't even wake up yet.
They pumped that shit like crazy yesterday.
Like, I woke up at 4 a.m.
And I watched, like, that shit just moon.
I was like, dude, what are they doing over there?
Like, they never seen a coin before.
China's always awake, bro.
I don't know what anyone's talking about.
This shit sounds like, you know what scares me?
Is people say that this is, like, wait till China wakes up.
This is, like, 2018, 19, all over again.
And we all know what the fuck happened after 2018 and 19.
And it's not good for those of you.
Tell us to the class what happened.
We had a fucking, we had, winter is coming, dude.
We had the five-year bear market.
I was so depressed for five fucking years.
I'm not laughing at you with the way you say it.
Have you pulled out of that depression yet?
I nonstop put, like, oh, my God, bro.
People say, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
I was buying as much fucking ETH and Bitcoin as I can at $4,500 and fucking $300 Ethereum, like, nonstop.
But, oh, my God, bro, if this shit failed, I would have been, I would have been fucked.
You guys never would have met me.
I would have been working at McDonald's.
Aren't you working at McDonald's right now?
I don't want a McDonald's, motherfucker.
I actually genuinely wonder about, pal.
Why do you not victory lap your collar as much as, is it because everyone's already talked about it or you just don't care that it was such a big W?
Dude, I'm playing the 48 Laws of Power.
I just let people victory lap for me.
Like, Bunny mentions every time it's easy.
Are you sure it's not because the price went down to zero and you made out with a lot of money?
I'm playing fucking chess and everyone else is playing checkers, dude.
When the price was up, you sure liked talking about it.
I'm definitely playing Minesweeper, dude.
There's one game I'm playing in Web3.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm just clicking on the board, Tao.
Now, and sometimes, sometimes I make a lot of money when I just randomly click the board.
Other times, it's a bomb and it blows up and I lose all my money.
So that's, that's the best analogy I've ever heard.
Honestly, Minesweeper is exactly what Web3 is.
You're just clicking shit.
I tried to help people cook, Yevon.
I fucking, I didn't buy anything when it was at the bottom.
I told people to buy this shit as I was buying it.
I offered to buy Bunny's whitelist.
I offered to buy everyone's whitelist.
I had a friend who had a bunch of apes and I told him, dude, let's split it.
You were the only reason I was bullish.
I didn't even admit, bro.
I definitely was trying to tell people to be bullish and I still didn't admit.
Bro, once they said that shit's an L to a Yuga, I was like, nah, that shit's an L.
It's a whole fucking L because that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I hope they do something.
It seems like they're pretty fucking well connected with Yuga because if you saw the last year.
Yeah, where's that partnership coming, Tal?
Supposedly they have a game in fucking July, but you saw the latest Yuga or the one year
or the two year Yuga thing.
They fucking had Jenkins and, what's it called, Mew and Cartel in the preview of all the shit
that's been built around Yuga.
Guys, do you know what right now has happened?
I swear to God, if it's anything about Pepe, Empress, I'm just going to fucking yell while
If it's about Pepe, I'm leaving.
Well, okay, but I thought it was exciting because I was going to say my Pepe prophets have
me halfway to a mutinate.
Have me halfway to a mutinate.
Oh, Tal really laughs, bro.
Motherfucker really laughs.
I was saying it was halfway to a mutinate.
We don't need updates on your best.
That's not breaking news.
Yeah, I thought something like Elon Musk has changed his profile picture to a Pepe or something.
If Elon took his profile picture to a Pepe or something.
I'm manifesting you, Apple.
Profile pictures of Pepe, bro, I would literally jump out my window right now.
I hope it's like one story, bro, because that's like...
I would jump, yo, I would literally lose my fucking mind.
Yeah, I'd jump out my window too, but I'm currently on the first floor.
I'm on the third floor, bro.
I'm waiting for the day I see him just post a Pepe meme, bro.
If he puts a Pepe meme, I will...
Everybody says they'll eat their own shit.
I'd have to find something else to eat.
I'd eat everyone's shit, bro.
I don't know if this is a healthy response.
We're going to have so much shit for you, bro.
Bring an appetite and a spoon.
Just fucking pass it around.
Someone get Elon to change the...
I'm talking just to Matt now.
This is a comment between me and Matt.
Don't care who else cares about it.
Matt, do you know who Sue Surf is?
Dude, he's going to jail for a long time.
This is what I want to tell you.
My sister's ex-boyfriend used to smoke with...
He used to smoke with Sue on his porch.
is that really the best idea?
Like, you're going to get shot, dude.
Like, you're almost guaranteed to get shot
Literally one of the worst people to be around in New Jersey.
Yeah, but one of the best rappers to be...
Like, one of the best rappers in New Jersey.
Name a better New Jersey rapper, Matt.
Nah, you don't believe that.
Nah, you don't believe that, dude.
Bro, I'll tell you the truth.
Look, does anybody here know who Sue Surf is?
Yeah, but dude, who's a better rapper, bro?
But, like, who had more...
Bro, Fetty Wap literally didn't put anything out for us.
I almost got married where Fetty's studio was.
It's the same spot that Bodak Yellow was filmed at.
Why would you get married, man?
It's like a popular wedding place now.
They kind of, like, pivoted their company.
It is a hell of a pivot, dude.
But it's, like, a dope...
It's actually, like, a dope wedding spot.
It's, like, super, like, rustic.
It's, like, it's, like...
Nah, I didn't get married, though, dude.
Boys and girl, how we doing?
Hey, did you go to New Jersey?
Wasn't there a New Jersey meetup yesterday?
Yeah, I took shrooms and went home.
It's, like, a popular thing on the spaces, man.
Everyone who comes up here announces that.
Speaking of which, where's Robe?
Yeah, where's Robe when you need him, man?
Yeah, I think that's his cue.
If he pulled up right now and started playing the music,
talking about his relationship,
I'm going to talk to him right now.
How was the meetup, 18th?
I was with Josh for, like, an hour.
And then I dipped and had a hell of a night.
Yeah, it was too far for me, dude.
When I planned them, I planned them closer to my house.
Your state is the size of, like, my fucking city, bro.
It was, like, a 30-minute drive, dude.
It was a 30-minute drive from not going there.
Did you just say Jersey was the best in the world?
Literally, what's better?
Because if you say, like, New York,
the only thing cool about New York is New York City.
The rest of the place sucks.
Tell me anybody in Albany who's having a good time right now.
Are you trying to say that the entire state of New Jersey is...
All of New Jersey is fucking the worst.
All of New Jersey is a grand old time.
I'm telling the truth right now.
Take your Pepe profits and buy a flight to New Jersey.
That's exactly what I'm not going to do, ever.
You don't really need that mutant, but what you do need is a little bit of New Jersey.
Some culture in your life, Empress.
This place is literally...
Like, think about it, right?
Nobody likes where they live, right?
Except people in New Jersey.
They don't have anything to complain about.
The strangest experience of my life.
Because I have 31 first cousins.
I'm from an Irish Catholic family.
Strangest experience was I went to a wedding in Jersey.
And I swear to God, they introduced the wedding party like it was a basketball team.
And I didn't know what was going on.
That was Buddy's wedding.
That was Buddy's wedding.
Has anyone ever heard of a condom in your family?
You said you're Catholic.
So, I mean, I know they got the prey part.
So, like, let's just couple the prey with a pullout.
Old school Irish Catholics were not supposed to have sex without the intention of reproduction.
So, that's what they did.
They're doing real bad, then.
Not on the reproducing part and the having sex part.
Because none of you guys are doing that, right?
I've had sex confirmed one time, at least.
What do you mean, why is he so old?
I know we haven't really been talking about shit coins or anything.
But I just got hit up to buy Riz, Turbo, and Mongs.
Mongs been out for a minute.
But this is the thing, though.
Have you been seeing these random things that people sent to you days before you thought
it was going to zero, and it somehow hit a million market cap?
Mongs literally was at every shit.
But I got in on Pornhub, right?
And this thing literally went from 140 market caps to 340 market caps.
I was like, yeah, bro, I sold the top.
Bro, why is this thing almost at 2 million?
Like, what are we doing here?
Like, how is that supposed to happen?
Like, that's not supposed to happen.
And when people are bored, they'll buy anything.
And Pornhub, that has like...
So that's why I'm looking at, like, these right now.
Like, somebody sent GME the other day.
I was like, this is garbage.
What are we talking about?
This doesn't make any sense.
It's like, who's dictating this stuff?
Why are you guys putting your money in these things?
And now every time I have the compulsion to put money into a new coin, I just put more
And it's worked out nicely thus far.
I wish I was good at leverage trading.
I literally would have made so much money off that bit.
But I just don't want to touch it.
Yo, I just started trading on YoloRect.
You're in the club right now?
That has been playing in the background the whole time.
Yeah, I'm in the club right now.
I'm dying to know where he is.
I want to know where he is, too.
I thought you were at like a restaurant.
I'm out with my boy Trey songs.
So tell us about YoloRect.
Because that sounds like something I do not, under any circumstance, want to connect my wallet to.
You actually don't have to connect a wallet.
And then you can trade up to 50x leverage.
Empress, this is where you chime in and be like, oh my god, I'm super excited about that.
I don't know anything about leverage.
Okay, again, got drunk, won a wrap contest, ended up getting my first NFT, and I've been learning as I go.
So, I don't know anything about leverage trading.
Yeah, her first NFT was a not-okay bear.
So, leverage trading is what allows you to go from being a fucking degenerate gambling piece of shit to an exceptional, like, to a degenerate that makes the degens fucking blush.
It is extremely, extremely lucrative and dangerous at the same time.
Once you get, like, once you don't get that fucking rush off of regular trading, you get into that leverage stuff.
And then that'll blow your fucking hair back for a bit.
It sounds like something that I would get wrecked on, so.
Okay, okay, just like what I was saying, like, 10 seconds ago.
Wall Street, baby, right?
Yesterday, 3.5 million market cap.
This thing is at 13.8 million.
Who is buying this stuff?
They were requesting in this space for weeks.
He's in their space right now.
Like, how am I supposed to know these things are going to fly like that?
How would you even say that?
Is Daniel really in their space right now?
Should we just shit on Dan for a little while?
What was my biggest, like, red flag at Dan, bro?
Like, when he made that Discord.
Yeah, when he made that Discord, he was putting all these plays.
Like, when he actually bought NFTs, he was making so much money.
And then he was like, yo, you guys didn't buy this?
Well, how are we supposed to know to buy that?
How are we supposed to know it was going to go from .01 to 3?
That's just never going to happen.
Newsflash, he's doing the exact same thing, except there's shit coins now.
Bro, he got in so early to the Trump NFTs.
He's like, I remember that was crazy.
This motherfucker loves flexing.
He's just like, oh, you didn't buy that?
Like, you didn't buy that?
He doesn't share with anyone.
He doesn't tell anyone a fucking thing.
He's not an alpha caller.
He is not an alpha caller.
That's all he fucking does.
He doesn't share a fucking thing.
Bro, if you're going to come off mute, you got to, like, talk.
If you're going to come off mute, 18.
We know that you're off mute.
Wait, can't see beatboxes better than Tao.
I was about to say, who just beatboxed, bro?
That was actually pretty good.
Wait, get Tao back here, dude.
Somebody get Tao back here.
We found somebody who's a better beatboxer than him.
Yeah, Bonnie, just a quick question.
If we stop putting Pepe in our space title, do you think that Empress will come anymore?
I will absolutely still come.
Empress, how about a reset?
I think Pepe's the only thing happening in Web3 right now.
I mean, it's the only spot of light in the world right now as we know it.
But we definitely don't want to talk about the dark, dark, my ladies.
If you could hit the button at the bottom where there's a five and retweet the space,
If you already have, could you then retweet and retweet it again?
If you would like to take a mic, please follow your host and co-host.
It's just generally good manners.
If you're hate listening at the bottom, we understand.
The whole space is recorded, so you can go back and listen to these pearls of wisdom at any time.
Once again, Shrimp, you've been very, very quiet.
What you doing over there?
What's wrong with you, Malik?
You're a fucking attorney, dude.
I was about to climax, Malik, but then you talked, so I'm stopped again.
There isn't shit going on in Web3.
And for those of us who don't have them, we feel fucking lost and empty inside.
What are you guys doing on Sol right now, man?
Dude, crying because our bags are down horrendous and Sui's coming out on May 3rd and everybody's afraid of the liquidity going to Sui, therefore making our bags hurt even more.
So that's what I'm doing, at least, and that's what the majority of us are.
Do you have FUD list at least so you'll make money on Sui?
But now's the part where you go, I have FUD list.
I have the FUD list, Empress.
It's crazy that you brought that up.
I did get added to the FUD list.
Like, my buddy was like, dude, go put it in.
And I was like, I really don't want to go make a wallet right now.
So I could have had FUD list, and I just chose not to make a wallet at that time.
Can you imagine how bad she was?
That's the guy that would have read a poem for the longest time.
So sure, things are so bad on Solana that the fear, the whole Solana market is gripped
with fear that everyone's going to fucking Sui?
That's where the liquidity...
Like, that's the state of the Solana market right now?
Wait, so Sui has a bunch of hype behind it, dude.
It's like Facebook motherfuckers.
The boomers came out with its thing?
The top of the tech chain, huh?
The best description I've heard, it's like Aptos on steroids, dude.
Like, it's a legit, like, L1 that's got some weight behind it.
So it'll be dead in three weeks.
Hey, did we end up finding that $700 billion that Sam Friedman Bank, whatever the fuck his
Yeah, he found, like, seven of it.
He fucking found an old jacket, and he's like, oh, what the fuck is this?
Pulled out a ledger, boom, seven billion.
We all just forgot about that, didn't we?
Like, what happened there?
You know, the thing is, like, so few of us in this space were, I mean, I don't want
to say, like, you know, no one's impacted, but I feel like a lot of people didn't have
That was, like, a group of people who have, like, real jobs and things to do with their
lives, not sit around on fucking spaces and talk about decentralization and self-custody.
Being a loser has never felt so good.
I didn't even know what FTX was until the scandal.
Yeah, I never had an account.
I never even fucking thought about it.
I literally just was like, what the fuck?
I was just like, oh, another Coinbase?
Apparently, a lot of people, roughly $700 billion worth of people, thought that that was a good
Hey, Malik, can you invite Red up?
He's the guy with the Bitcoin Catalina.
Why wouldn't they invite themselves up?
Wow, the Bitcoin Catalina whale, that's got to be worth a lot.
I've been in space with Old Red.
Yeah, Old Red, come up here.
He's not coming up, dude.
So just, like, chill out.
I just feel like when you do that, it sends a message as if we wouldn't let people come
No, I just know he's not requesting.
I just know Old Red, he doesn't request.
I'm trying to force him up here.
Is he still in the space?
But I know he's in Dubai.
I might be able to get Old Red.
Isn't it like 6 o'clock in the morning in Dubai?
If your name is based on a widespread panic song, you have to be-
I thought it was a Blake Felton song.
Old Red, is your name from widespread panic song?
All right, send him back to me.
How are you, Shreem, man?
It's 7 o'clock in the morning.
I'm missing the vibes being on the wrong side of the world.
It's really disappointing.
Nah, you're on the right side.
And you're also not missing a fucking big trust.
Yeah, it sucks over here, man.
I don't know what's going on.
Set it all to zero so I can buy it all.
I've never heard of a JPEG in my life.
God, I'm going to buy so many of these fucking things.
I'm going to give you five grand for that fucking ape before you know it.
And you're going to thank me.
That'd be a huge dub for my initial investment on board apes.
Yeah, I'll double you up right now.
Yeah, that'd be a huge dub, dude.
Alright, so you guys heard it.
Bunny, I'm sending the ETH over.
Why haven't we sent anything to the top except for Daniel's tweet?
Yeah, send me five grand on that one, please.
I don't even see Daniel's tweet.
We should get T-Moss up here.
Oh, you're going to try to do the old red trick?
See, if you call them out, then you send them to the mic.
If you just start saying people's names, they come up here.
Shirley Lowe one time came into his face, and I said, if she doesn't follow me back in
three minutes, I'm blocking her ass, and she followed me back.
That's some advanced AI right there.
One time I said a joke, and Shirley Lowe threw up the laughing emoji, and that was the greatest
I mean, after that, we were going to go to zero, right?
No, we have to go to Alice.
I didn't see her come up here.
I was like, oh my god, I made her leave.
You guys are so dramatic.
But your space is recorded, and I hate recorded spaces.
And I think the last time I came up here, I was kind of tipsy.
What's your issue with recorded spaces?
I'm going to be recorded space.
But I've been taking notes on how to make money with this new blur update that Malik was
So if you have any alpha, let me know.
Yeah, or be a conspiracy theorist like Malik.
But I think, not financial advice, that Peppy goes to 50,000% in the next year.
Based on absolutely nothing but speculation.
I have no idea even what the coin's about.
Yeah, that's what we need in this space.
That's not even speculation.
AI programmed it, actually, earlier on.
That's what you feel like.
You know, I used AI to literally build my whole resume and cover letter.
I didn't write a single thing.
Did you actually do any of the things you say you did on your resume?
I did do the things on the resume, yes.
Wait, so walk us through that.
You just said, hey, chat GPT, build me a fucking resume with a cover letter for this job.
Uh, here's my work and educational experience, and then it made it look all fucking slick.
It's fucking amazing, dude.
And it did it so well, too.
And then I got my boss to look at it.
You just copy-paste your old...
And then give it feedback, and then I fed that feedback into AI, and then it implemented
Yeah, anybody doing work the old-fashioned way is a fucking sucker.
Um, yeah, I need to just buy the fucking GPT for...
I got method statements and safety reports done for my construction site with the AI.
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about AI doing safety reports on a construction site, Red.
Uh, feels a little sketchy to me.
It's safer to have something write them than nobody write them.
Hey, Red, how you doing, mate?
Whereabouts are you from?
Jesus, I didn't know that was an option.
Uh, regional camera, but I live in Dubai.
You're doing a disservice.
Wait, Red, is the fam still back in Cali?
Nah, they're out here now in the desert.
Uh, like, the place to be.
That's, like, the dopest fucking place on Earth right now.
Everyone's getting mad because they can't smoke weed there.
Yeah, you don't go to Dubai to have fun.
You go to Dubai to make money
and then you fucking go on a vacation
Um, another L take from Empress, guys.
All right, let's go to Shrimp.
I feel like if we were in a bull run,
our mood would be much higher
in the space in general, you know?
Shrimp has a weird accent now.
Shrimp, your voice sounds exactly like your PFP, by the way.
So does Bunny, for the record.
everyone's telling me to change my PFP
and then, like, three days later,
like, I get a Shrimpified of it.
