Thank you. you
hey what's up intern i'm just getting things working I don't know why music doesn't play it's always so weird how it just like is just silent hey what's up
Steven hey here I invited water on well actually I keep calling it water, but is it water or water?
Water.
It's kind of like, is it Aave or Ave or DeFi?
I don't know.
So what is it?
Water.
Water.
I call it water.
And then when all the water warriors, when we sign off on our spaces, we always say,
see you guys. Just like that.
That reminds me, I don't know if you ever did Ventrilo, but you used to join Ventrilo with really long names,
and it was just like, like helicopters.
Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about.
You can YouTube it, though.
That would be pretty good.
Anyway, yeah, let's give it a couple minutes.
I'm trying to just get things going.
Bonk, intern, you are co-host invited, so you should be good now.
Steven, is there anyone else you wanted invited to from your end.
Oh, it looks like you're not a speaker anymore. Looks like I went to Walter-er.
One sec, let me get you back.
And if you guys stick around,
the last 10 minutes, it's open mic mic so I'll let you on stage and you
can start just talking about whatever you want probably just chill your token for like 10 seconds
you can yell at me if you want to in those 10 seconds but chilling your token would be great
and then I'll just try to get everyone up who wants to get up I'll probably kick you off though
if you're a mouth breather
like me and just playing terrible stuff in the background. Steven, I have you. You were a speaker
but now you're just a listener. So I don't know if you're speaking on the water app or on the
account or if you're popping back on yours. But you should be good here in a sec um while steven's getting his thing ready
so this is our bad accounting and i'm bad at math but this is our fourth space
so it's the official official unofficial i don't know i guess we could say it's official
bonk fun community spaces so i don't know how i got here but I like being here I love Bonk um I love the space I don't mind
talking on spaces and I felt like hey if I can do this and I have somewhat of a small
sorry about that uh Hero it had a little technical difficulties but I think I'm back on right you
guys can hear me yeah you're good I was just giving 10 minutes of filler real quick while you were getting started out.
Right.
Appreciate it.
Yeah, you're perfect.
So to kind of kick us off, if you're new here, we do these spaces Mondays and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern.
We're going to start opening up the last 10 minutes for anyone in the Bonk community to pop up on stage.
So Intern and I will just add
you up here. You can just raise your hand or request to speak and we'll get you up here.
The whole purpose of these spaces though is to support one another. That's one thing I
particularly like about Bonk specifically is it feels like it's very PvE minded. It's not like
you have to own one coin or another coin. We want everything to win. So that's why you have SendIt, which is basically send everything on Bonk.
It doesn't matter what it is.
We just want number to go up.
So I'm really excited to meet a lot of new and even projects that have been around since Bonk first started
and kind of learn more so that I can give more conviction of myself in Bonk
and then also have more opportunities to buy some
tokens that that are probably going to be good some might suck but I don't think water is going
to be one of those sucks so today we have Stephen speaking um so real quick Stephen it's going to be
really really casual um so pretty much I'm just to ask you a bunch of questions. You can give as much
depth as you want to. And then we'll end the last 10 minutes with everyone else. So Stephen,
maybe if you could start. Stephen's with Water, and he's going to give a little background on
himself to kick us off. Sure. Right on. Thank you, Hero. You know, it's a pleasure to be here and I know all of the water warriors are in the chat, so I really appreciate you guys.
Anyone with the blue eyes or with holding a water bottle in their profile picture, that's the reason why we're doing this coin and why we're having this community is these water warriors.
They're on a mission to change the world with us together.
It's really awesome to see you guys.
Thank you, first of all.
My name is Stephen Howell.
I've been entrepreneuring water since 2023.
water for since 2023 and been leading this company in business now to all over the world
to be honest it started as a dream with some beach cleanups in Los Angeles and by the 10th
beach cleanup 100 people joined in and I was thinking to myself wow you know like
we can really all these people are so stoked and excited to work on something and it was inspiring me.
And I felt like, you know, we could, we could do more in the world and we can make more of a difference.
And so started thinking about what, what would be a huge problem that we could solve.
And that problem being plastic.
As we were cleaning the beaches, we saw a ton of that we could solve. And that problem being plastic. As we were
cleaning the beaches, we saw a ton of plastic on the beach. And I started diving into my
research. I was studying environmental science and entrepreneurship at Loyola Marymount University.
And I just started immersing myself in plastics and biomaterials.
Was able to create a bottle that was actually the fastest biodegrading bottle while still being shelf stable in the world.
We debuted at Air One in 2024. We've now changed over to version two of the bottle, which is an even cheaper version.
So it's like more affordable for everyone.
More bottles are being sold.
It's now selling in 70 7-Elevens as well as 40 other retailers in Los Angeles.
So 100 plus.
And our vision with the crypto community is a CA on every bottle
on every shelf in America. And so the bottle is biodegradable in seven years rather than 700
years, solving this really big problem of bottles lasting forever in landfills.
of bottles lasting forever in landfills.
Bottles also traditionally become microplastics in landfills.
Ours do not.
Ours become carbon and gas.
And so we're also fighting that problem as well at the same time.
And let's see.
It's pretty epic, though.
Yeah.
Just to kind of pause, you said a lot that's uh
so first off let me give you where i was thinking with this so i was thinking that
um water was going to be like a token because mr beast beasted his like water campaign like a week
ago or two weeks ago so i was thinking oh this is just something new and it's like just an altcoin
going off of that narrative but to hear that it's actually a real company that has been going for a while and now you're
on bonk and doing a lot of good for the world.
Like that's actually insane.
It's so fun when you don't go into this stuff researching ahead of time.
You just go in blind and then realize like you're talking to an actual legend on the
other end.
That's awesome.
Well, thanks, Hero.
And, you know, like a lot of the community, they say,
just take a five-minute water break and you'll be an investor
and watch the number go up because, yeah,
I think there's a lot of tokens out there in the world,
and I think a lot of the water community,
they feel really safe and secure knowing that hey we're out here
every day. One of our executives, Aish and I, we travel the 7-Elevens you know
five days, six days a week. Labor Day we're not so that's why we can jump on
the space in a more chill relaxed environment but we're not. So that's why we can jump on the space in a more chill, relaxed environment.
But we're still working.
I'll be meeting with a business partner here today.
And Aish and HB are going to be on the spaces as well talking.
So, yeah, thank you.
Yeah, a five-minute water break is all it takes, man.
The only problem is, though, I just went to go try to buy some water bottles online, and it says sold out.
So you obviously are pretty busy and low on inventory.
That's crazy.
So how did you get linked up with attaching a token to this and having that token more specifically be on Bonk?
Like, have you done this before? Like, W2 going to w3 or like what's the story there
yeah so actually if i have a pretty good background in crypto um i was a speaker at nft nyc nft london
um so i was part of that whole nft craze and learned a lot from what worked and what didn't.
And put myself as a thought leader, you know, consulted for some of the biggest brands in the world about their token strategy and some major celebrities as well.
and some major celebrities as well.
always knew that crypto was really important
and it was how
I was paying the bills to start a
environmental climate tech company
like Water.
So, I've been in the space for
a minute and was familiar with crypto
and all its use cases.
I definitely was thinking
like, ah, you know,
crypto is going to be useful.
I know...
You're kind of breaking out.
It's either you or me.
Yeah.
All right, try talking again real quick.
Can you guys thumbs up if it's me or if it's him that has a bad connection right now?
Let me, uh, it might, it might be me. I, I always, the best part about that for me is
I usually blame other people's connection because I think I just have the best internet in the world.
And then it ends up actually usually being me so but anyway while while you're working on that um that that sounds pretty cool so
you're in 7-elevens you actually have a storefront where people can purchase online um you've been
in the space for a long time and i that's actually funny with nfts general. I think I would declare myself as a round tripper and always have been.
But with NFTs, I think I reverse round tripped it because I bought, I sold low and then it ripped higher.
Like the pudgy penguins, I'm just totally, totally round tripped that one.
But at least I have the Pengu now.
So it looks like he's getting reset up.
So I'm going to invite a couple other people on while he's getting going.
And then we'll kind of take our 10 minutes at the end and reverse it a little bit.
So if you want to request to speak, pop up here.
You have until Steven gets back to start shilling your bed.
Oh, hello. What's up? Can you hear us? There shilling your bed. Oh, hello.
What's up? Can you hear us?
There we go. Yes. Sorry about that.
Technical difficulties.
They're either going to be disappointed or happy.
I'm not sure. I just said, yeah, come up for five minutes
and shill your tokens while Stephen's getting figured out.
It's all right.
You guys still can request because I'm going to pick people at the very end.
Sure.
This goes till two, but I might go a little longer,
depending if you guys make me laugh or something.
But yeah, go ahead, Steven.
Yeah.
So where did I leave off?
I was just telling, I got some crypto experience,
consulted for some of the world's biggest brands and celebrities
in the space, was a speaker. And then I always knew that
crypto was like how the next generation of finance, of communities are going to be built.
Like I've always had that in mind. And when I'm, you know, using the crypto to pay the bills to
start a climate tech company, in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, how do I utilize some of this experience and like tie in my expertise here?
And we launched a token. We launched a token that's like a really falls well into ICM.
It falls into brand coins. And it's been such a success. and I've been seeing firsthand how you know building this
community online with the token has been really really useful really really impactful for a
startup well a two-year startup a company that's growing and you know seeing all the community support from this has just been fantastic so what uh
what made you choose bonk over like pump or bags or whatever else else is out there i i only really
know bonk and pump and i know there's like tens of smaller ones but why why bonk yeah bonk bonk
because you know at the time um i was pretty familiar with the Bonk founders.
Tom and Cadence follow me as well on Twitter.
And we've had great chats with them.
And it just seemed like the best play.
To be one of the only ICms on bonk seemed really appealing yeah so can you would
you consider yourself part of the bunk ball and now now that we know this water is going to get
taken over by the bunk ball and go up even higher with dirt during september yeah but
yeah we're part of the bunk cabal. I would say that is, that is true.
Those guys.
Yeah, they're, they're great.
They're hardworking and they've been here forever.
And I think that the cool thing people are starting to realize, well,
at least I hope they are, is that bunk.
Isn't just Tom.
Like there's a lot of, well, there was a lot of fud like weeks ago right but now it's kind
of just dissipated but i think a lot of people and even small communities think that tom has to
do everything but they're starting to realize that they can build a community on their own with or
without bonk but bonk is definitely there to help support communities and continue to grow them but
it's not all on tom to do that right it's It's like water to, what do you call each? It's not, it's the water, water warriors.
It's the water warriors. They're doing a great job of, like, helping them grow. So yeah,
about all of us.
That's awesome. Are you in every state? Like, is water in every state or is it like specific
places people can get it? And does anything directly tie to the token? Like if I,
and this is just me not knowing and being ignorant. So if I own the token, I'm part of the
water community. And obviously people usually buy tokens because they want number to go up right and they just
want to be involved in that active group of people do you have any plans or is there any
current utility that that your community knows about that i don't know about um that you'd want
like the rest of bunk to know about or for sure what do you think uh the token ties into the actual
water product for sure we actually had like a sip sip and burn
mechanism so for every bottle sold we were doing um 16.9 uh coins were burned so the number goes
up right it's deflationary and then we actually flipped the model some community feedback and
said actually we're gonna do sip sip and earn, where every bottle, you're going to be able to scan that bottle, scan the QR code, the receipt, and actually start earning tokens for buying water.
That's actually probably the sickest thing I've ever heard.
ever heard that's so cool if they have okay if someone wants to do this um just to go on off a
That's so cool.
tangent if if someone could convince pokemon or magic or someone else to to rip and earn so every
pokemon pack i open i earn i will um have made back all the money i've round tripped or spent
on pokemon so that's that's a brilliant idea dude dude. I love that. Yeah.
Yeah, it's really activating for the community.
And we're actually getting IP around this idea because we think it's valuable, not just for water, but for other brands as well.
And I've probably said too much there already.
But that's just for the Bonk community and you guys here on the space but um that's the cool thing about these spaces that was like hearing something like that
like actual utility and it sounds like you have a lot of connections right and going into this we've
we just did an intro right we had an intro like not even a call just a quick hey here's
handles and stuff but um and i don't even own any
water but i just bought some a little bit ago because if you're tying in that and you can kind
of make it a platform where people can i don't know if you expand that out to any other project
to have utility now to like earn based on some type of action and have ip around that that's pretty massive
that's awesome yeah yeah you know we're we're expanding really really fast man i think this
this coin has been a catalyst for a lot of things and i know we're getting a lot of reach outs from
from you know multi multi tens ofens of million-dollar companies saying,
wow, you guys built a thousand-person community overnight.
How?
You know, teach us.
Let us onboard more people to crypto.
And I'm telling them, yeah, you know, I can be your crypto advisor,
but you got to pay me in uh water token and water token
has to be like that entity that's helping these other companies like get into icm but okay again
i'm saying too much there the the mission is a ca on every bottle on every store in america
um that's that's the primary first mission with water and the coin.
And we're accomplishing that by already being in 100 stores in LA.
We're going national by the end of the year.
And we are also the official water of Solana Space is coming up.
So if you guys are around in LA, please do come through and we'll have a lot
of alpha and like special gifts and you can buy water with water coin there in la um and you're
and you're in la then i'm guessing yeah yeah los angeles yeah there's so i have a lot of um
most friends in la that are have a lot of ties deep within the Solana ecosystem and founders and stuff.
And I know that if you're probably tied in with that same group or similar
group of people,
you definitely have all the connections in and ties in with Solana itself.
So that's, that's really cool. And I mean,
people like number go up, right.
But it seems like with Bonk ecosystem kind of bottoming out where it is right now,
before September really starts, I think in the next couple of weeks,
it's pretty cool to see this at only a million FDV.
And it actually looks pretty good.
So what do you think overall?
So not water specific, but talking about Sponk.
Like Bonk Eco, where do you see it going?
Like September, October, end of the year?
What do you think?
And you probably already know some of the stuff that I might know too.
But what do you think they're doing to continue to onboard more people
and get more of a PBE community mindset and not just think,
like we're joking about that it's just the bunk of all coins that are going to win like it's useless only that's
getting the attention only what do you think they're going to do or can do to help promote
some of these smaller tokens like like water for example that are small now but have a lot of big
potential yeah I think those bunk guys they work really hard. They're obviously the billion dollar ecosystem, multiple billion dollar ecosystem.
So they've proven out that they can push a token to the highest of heights, get listed on the coin bases, the Binances, how many holders, 50,000, a hundred thousand, I'm not even sure.
An insane amount of holders. I mean, yeah, I w I would bet on people who've done it before
as with anything in business. So really proud, uh, to like work with these guys to be with them
closely. I see branch right there. Actually, we've been chatting with Branch. Thank you so much, man, for all your support, getting us on the space.
And actually, guys, I just really like that we can have a space like this with, wow, 337 people in the space,
getting the word out about a real ICM coin on Bonk.
It's fantastic.
This is why we're doing it.
There is another one on Bonk, right?
Literally, there's lots of memes, there's a couple tech,
but there's nothing like water on Bonk right now, right?
No, we're one of the first, I think, in the entire crypto ecosystem. I think if you had to bet on one company to onboard the most people to crypto, it would be water with the CAA on every bottle, on every shelf in America.
We'd easily get the most eyes in real life of any crypto project.
crypto project.
And Hero,
so I'll leave you guys at that because
actually I got to
get to
a meeting with one of our business partners,
real big business partners.
And I'm what would like to
invite Aish and HB up to the
stage so that they can continue the conversation.
These guys are my right
hand people.
They're hustlers.
They've been alongside me on the journey.
They have a lot of insights into what crypto is,
why water is the best ICM,
why Bonk is really helping us out.
And so maybe with that,
Hero, I can give the stage to them yeah that's perfect what we can have
more conversations into the future oh you're on the official water account okay perfect yeah we're
both on the official water account dope hey steven thanks man appreciate talking to you
uh close a billion dollar deal and pump it in the water love that sounds great something like that so I'm glad that you bought now
so just hold the line man
it looks like it's god candling anyway
so that's pretty good news
just continue the trend and I'll be happy
I really appreciate the
the podcast here like this
this interview format,
really nice.
You're a good interviewer.
And man,
looking forward to chatting soon.
Thanks, Stephen.
Good luck, man.
All right.
Take care.
Yeah.
All right, Ish.
Ish and what's,
Ish and who?
This is Aish and HB.
Oh my God.
I totally butchered that.
I'm sorry, Aish.
You're probably like, who is this retard that can't even
spell a three-letter name?
Or maybe it's for AISH. It's either A-I-S-H or I-S-H.
I don't know. We'll call you Bullish. Do you ever get called that?
No, that'd be the first. I guess because it's Bull-Aish.
Bull-Aish. Awesome. uh no that'd be the first i guess because it's boliche how long have you been with what i guess have you been um involved with water before uh the token before it launched on bonk it looks like i guess it launched on july 28th. So you've been involved for a while then? Yeah. I mean, yeah, both HB and I, we've both been, you know, supporting Stephen with this whole water project or business, I'd say.
I'd say for like the past year and a half.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we've seen the whole journey play out, at least for myself, the last three years,
Steven has been going out and he's been just innovating in terms of like the education.
He had an LMU, then he started working with like environmental scientists to try to come
with like environmental scientists to try to come up with different versions of the bottle
up with different versions of the bottle.
and so even before the token we were just witnessing the evolution of the v1 bottle
to the v2 and it's a pretty crazy story we uh steven and myself and ice we had talked about
like launching on solana and it was just you know it was ideas about like especially when the AI met it was pretty crazy
I think before Trump launched his token we were just talking about launching water
and from one day to another I believe like a month and a half ago that's when Stephen just
he just launched and then that's when everything just came together. I thought it was perfect connecting him with Bonk because as we know the history of the Bonk
team they've always came in clutch. They were at the bottom when Solano was at the bottom at $12
they airdropped like the whole community Bonk it was pretty insane and uh and they're just always
you know they always got something up their sleeve so we just thought it'd be the perfect match
icm water bunk just all fits um and i yeah so i it's so funny because going into this space i
legit thought it was a meme coin created off of the Mr. Beast stream that he had a few weeks ago.
So like, oh, this is interesting. Let's learn about it, you know.
But to realize that it's an actual company behind it.
So looking at your website, it says normal water bottles take 700 years to biodegrade.
And then your guys' bottles take seven years.
So that seems like kind of
interesting as well if you have patents around like your bottles to give to other water bottle companies as well um that's insane
yeah it was it was uh
yeah um yeah that that's like what it's been um what it's been helping out it's like uh
yeah just the version of the bottle the tech behind it is pretty incredible
yeah it's it's yeah there's no one else in the water industry that's doing that right now
so you know um yeah it's very it's a big innovation in terms of climate
tech for sure and the fact that i had water on it i'd say water could be considered in the technology
sector then for bonk instead then right yeah it's like it's a climate tech company so there's a lot
of science behind the bottle itself and uh it's funny that
you bring up the mr beast thing because we had launched like a few weeks before and so when it
when the mr beast team water thing it almost seemed like they were trying to follow the the water meta
uh and it was just it was just perfect timing really yeah it was perfect timing we contributed to that too as well actually
with mr beast water um yeah that's awesome so perfect yeah sounds like you have a ton of
connections in la you obviously have ties within the bonk team whether they approached you or you
approach them i'm not sure of hey let's make you guys the go-to ICM on Bonk. Because that's crazy.
I can't think of any others on Bonk right now.
So it seems like there's a lot of potential
for what you have going on.
And then the CA on every bottle,
that sounds awesome, right?
Some people may not do it,
but a lot of people will.
Like I said, if i could earn something for every
amount of bottle of water i drink that'd be pretty unreal because i drink like five a day and actually
i just drink like probably one a day but i drink five and leave them all like half full and half
empty open so maybe it would pay for my my habits yeah i mean that, that's the beauty of the business side of things too,
right? And the token.
The fact that, really, there's not
a single person in the world
that can say that they don't drink water.
So, you know,
there's some people. I could show you
some true life TLCs
of the 500
pound drink
500 gallons of soda a day people, but Some true life TLCs of the 500 pound drink.
Five gallons of soda a day, people.
But it has water in it, so it's still fine.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll just give them more water.
It sounds like they need water themselves.
And then everyone gets to earn, too, with the whole sip of earn.
Is this tap water? Do you guys just fill up a lot of
bottles in the back? Yeah, it tastes just as good. Yeah, no, it's spring water, natural spring water.
So, you know. Yeah, Palomar Mountains in San Diego, that's our water source. That'd be so
funny. You should make a parody video of you
guys just filling up these bottles in the back of like some gas gas stations no i'll probably
don't do that actually maybe that's the derivative mean coin of waters that's that's future um so
what do you think so i uh and i haven't really paid attention much. And maybe I'm going to put you on the spot with this.
So with Bonk and World Liberty Finance, are you familiar with that stuff going on?
Or have they been posting eagles for days?
Familiar in the sense that, I mean, we see that the Trump family is behind World Liberty 5.
We haven't yet gotten the closure in terms
of the Bonk partnership, at least on our end, but it definitely sounds bullish for just
for the long haul in terms of Bonk. And at least on my end, I used to be one of the artists in Solana, and so we actually got an airdrop from the Bonk team
right when everything was at the bottom. So for a fact, I know that Bonk is here to stay.
They're always coming up with last minute clutch, like in the midst of all the FUD.
And just super excited to see how the whole icm structure begins to
unfold on bonk i think it's going to be pretty big like steven was saying there's been a lot
of founders out there he's very well rooted into like the entrepreneurial networks of los angeles
so there's been a lot of founders reaching out to him in terms of them potentially
launching on Solana. So it's just excited to see how Bonk unfolds or ICM structure.
Do you think like the market overall? So I'm of the opinion. So I think that we're kind of just
getting started, right? People are going to get bored.
Maybe the next couple of weeks are like sideways choppy and stuff.
But for the market in general, do you view it as going higher or lower?
Like, are you a delusional bull, a bear?
Like, what do you think happens before end of year?
Do you think we get something crazy and all it's actually get some volume or what?
Like overall, overall crypto or or
bonk token or water token um so i'm thinking just overall market in general so just overall crypto
and then you can kind of tailor that back into bonk so where i'm kind of going with that is
where do you see the market going and then back with bonk in my opinion if the market does well
bonk's obviously going to be an outlier that does extremely well and assuming bonk in my opinion if the market does well bonk's obviously going to be an outlier that does
extremely well and assuming bonk does well everything on bonk will do well so it's kind of
a threefold thing like do you think we're going to goblin town or do you think we're going higher
is pretty much the question to be honest like my experience with crypto over the last five years i've see it as like a an irregular cycle it's sort of unpredictable
at least to my understanding where uh even when we have like world war three fud we still
maintain maintain some some level where you know it's not a full-on bear market and uh
yeah it's hard to say i think honestly i think we haven't hit that
the top of the bull yet i feel like there's still room for growth i know a lot of liquidity has gone
to you know at first it was like pump on tokens and uh but i feel like alts still have a lot of
room for growth and what bonk is building i mean it wouldn't be
surprised to see at the peak another 10x for the whole bonk ecosystem at least the bonk token itself
and so yeah that's not like a full market analysis but that's what i i envision i see
like one last leg of the bull potentially and it's really hard to say you know
we might be on like this constant cycle of where it feels like we're in the bull market still
but I feel like the trenches are always going to be hot and especially this new sector of ICM
bridging real world businesses into crypto I feel like it's I feel like it's here for the long term.
We have the Trump administration, which is favorable to crypto.
So I feel like there'll be some big innovations, especially if big ICM players start meeting with government officials.
I think ICM structure structures here to stay and
especially tying it back to water I mean innovatively it's the world's most
biodegradable water bottle and that's actually approved by it's similar to the
FDA but they they really focus on on certifying like biodegradable products
and I don't want to drop too much alpha but
steven's also been working on like a more biodegradable water and at the same time it's
like it's a water bottle you're gonna see big people in the industry drinking this water
so there's a lot of upside potential the sip to earn uh the more bottles we sell the more token
is burned.
And I feel like everybody's just here early for water.
Stevens has always been a go-getter.
He's a sharpshooter.
From him launching on Bonk, that's the thing.
We actually didn't have any insiders on the token, which is pretty organic growth.
Because he just decided to launch one day to another.
And it was just all organic growth in there and it's kind of the best thing is just launching like just just letting it happen and go you know
like not worry about it and planning it and just kind of yoloing it yeah i mean it looks good like
your the holders look good the chart looks good like um i think the token itself looks good but i think besides the token
it's just kind of the the cool thing i've realized about bonk is it's i couldn't for the life of me
be hopping on a different token every single week i couldn't be the one that does a stream and says
i caught the next daily runner and you know what I mean? Like, yeah, you gamble on some stuff here and there, but like if I was like the face behind a new daily runner every single day,
that'd be terrible, right?
You're obviously using your followers for exit liquidity.
So it's cool to see that Bonk is establishing a lot of PVE kind of creators
and like water, Stephen's not going anywhere.
He's, he's docs, he's on this, he's had a company for two years he's building it obviously has plans for it so i think
the pivot from people trying to just gamble on top 200 000 market cap shitters to like actual
icm type meta or just actual communities um is where where bonk's going to turn around i think
that's going to happen this month because it's it's centober or centember and the next month's october so
it's only natural and then you got to sell it before november end of november probably
yeah definitely if there's anybody in this space i've known steve for quite a while
i met him in the trenches at university he was always like this entrepreneur wanting
better for the world he doesn't talk about it much but he was actually man he was like in the
trenches back in uh 2020 with crypto uh hitting like 1000 x's and that's actually what gave him
like crypto actually built his entrepreneurial launchpad
where he, you know, started working with like environmentalist.
He launched like a restaurant in Mexico, just like so many other projects, like working
with like, like farm industries.
And, and I seen his growth with water has been just
Like consistent like right now. He's actually meeting with a VC
He's gonna go around to different 7-Elevens already at Erewhon
You know the future is bright with this with this guy and just happy to be part of his team and
Yeah, it's exciting stuff with water definitely for the long term this guy's not
going to go anywhere his whole life is pretty much dogs at this point yeah that's that's kind
of what you kind of realize is like he he's built something and he's here to stay and kind of finding
those communities and i i try to use these spaces to not like heavily shill one token obviously
we're highlighting water um and it's really cool because I'm learning a lot too.
And even though I have send it token, which I didn't create, but I just heavily support.
I think it's cool to kind of bring everything back to just Bonk in general.
So like the one token and focus on this is like Bonk.
And if Bonk does well, everyone who building on bonk um for the right reasons should
do well too right like i think that's what's really cool about it so yeah steven um i think
actually i remember him he at the nft conference he was the board ape guy that was beating his
chest with the board apes in line he looks familiar now, he was on that line.
I think he was.
I think that's it.
I'll have to send him the screenshot, though, and see if that's real.
Cool.
Well, is there anything?
So I'm going to start inviting a couple of people on stage.
This could be fun.
It could be tragic.
We'll see.
So I'm going to try to pick and choose.
You never know who you're gonna get right so anyone is welcome but also we've all been on spaces where um you again you
just never know what you're gonna get so I'm gonna invite a lot of people up um just try to be
respectful when you come up don't try not to talk over each other if you're like I had a guy um two
weeks ago it was really funny before we started to tell people
we're gonna invite him he said yeah i don't want to shill a token or anything but this token and
he starts rambling on about a specific token of how it's so great um however this time it's actually
everyone's opportunity to do that but before i do that um i should you have any thing you'd want
to say about water get people excited about it like why should obviously describe a lot of why
people should own water and it sounds like um steven maybe leaked some things you probably
shouldn't have but before i kind of like let you guys off and bring other people up on stage
is there anything questions you have for them or want them to ask or things you want to say about water specifically?
No. Yeah. Thank you, Hiro. Yeah. I mean, I just like to say that.
I mean, Stephen and I talk about it all the time.
Like we have such an amazing community with all the water warriors.
You know, it's like been definitely a journey even though it's been so
short I know we have a lot to come um unfortunately at the time right now because there are deals
being worked out and IRL can't reveal too much but you know there's a lot of water warriors out
there that um definitely deserve shout outs like WorldThinkBox.East.
We also got Zach Smith and Shimin, Bad Billy, Easter Bunny.
We have so many people in the water warriors that have been just amazing to have doing this impact and ICM movement here on Bonk.
So just wanted to do a little shout out for all the Water Warriors
and all the holders just like, you know, keep holding
because you guys are definitely going to get a run for your money.
Yeah, a big shout out to the Water Warriors and a big thank you to Hero, Bonk. Yeah, big shout out for the Water Warriors
and a big thank you
to Hero,
Bonk.fun.
I see Branch
and the audience
has been super supportive
and we're just excited
for just to be building
together right now
with Bonk.
thank you guys.
Awesome.
Thanks, Water.
Let's see who comes up
on stage.
You guys can ask
Water questions.
So, Aish not Ish and eb is it eb lb ib db hb and baby i said god damn it hb
i'm gonna get this right like but next time i'm gonna get it right but all right i'm gonna start
to bring people up um please try to be somewhat
respectful though when you do come up all right everyone who requested i'm gonna bring up james

hey how you guys doing thank you for bringing me up yeah of course thank you for what is your
profile picture jesus christ is john lock from lost the tv show you know 2000 right maybe you're
too young for it i don't know i really i'm 16 so it might have been when i was like
eight or nine eight or nine so all right then congrats for all you're doing but yeah you probably
you should you should go and watch it it's an amazing show probably the first show that opened
like they're all um waiting for next week episode meta you know what i'm saying so it was pretty
cool awesome well thank you what so what's up lock all good not much i was listening to the
space i wanted to stop by first of all to congratulate myself with uh water because i
mean it's always uh it's always easy to launch a token i mean coinIM coin or whatever, but doing it with a sustainable goal in mind
and doing it for something greater, it's always amazing and really inspiring.
So I hope, you know, I just came out to say congrats on behalf of the whole Best Coin community.
And I wish, you know, whenever my DMs are open i will probably shoot your dm later to to to collab and see if we can donate or or do something together to uh to get you closer to your goal
which is which is amazing so congrats guys awesome lucky you're part of best queen on bunk
yeah yeah yeah um the dev you you well show your coin dude you you don't have to be modest tell us about best coin okay are you sure are you sure it's okay yeah this is all good this is this is for you guys
i want thanks for being respectful but yeah dude tell tell everyone why they should buy best coin
right now all right sounds amazing um i mean after water talked you know and explain the project
uh it's kind of it's kind of hard to to talk about a meme coin but no we launched meme coins are great so give us like your best one minute pitch about
at high level um yeah even less i think that's great absolutely so best point uh i launched best
coin uh to enter the bunk hackathon uh which was a couple months ago because we wanted to show that
community is could be like the best technology in crypto especially in the main coin space
and we did just that so we ended up winning and um it was amazing to uh being able to build together
with the whole community we got 3 000 holders a lot of uh bears, as we call them. And we implemented 100% flywheel.
So 100% of creator rewards, creator fees, trading fees,
any type of fees, referral fees, we give back to the community.
So it's three things, buybacks, burns,
and now we just announced all the rewards.
So we try to really to give 100% back to the community
and really build the best club of people
who are interested in showing up every day,
work hard for their bags,
and really prove themselves
and become the best versions of themselves.
So this is what we are.
BestCoin is simply the best coin.
There's more than 50 million searches on Google
for best coin to buy or
related keyword every year. And we're working on SEO to make it stand out. And so far, I'm
happy to say that we're among the top results in some countries with Pointbase, Binance,
and ForcedPage. And so we're really focusing on that, building the community again, and really
integrating ourselves into the Bonk ecosystem because we love love bonk we're all about bonk so let's bond and thank you thank you everyone for
having me dude look that's so cool you you come up so humble not even shilling your token and then
you come spit these words and you you did the hackathon you're yeah that's that's crazy thanks
lock i'm gonna check out best coin after this um yeah i appreciate
thank you yeah for sure message water and see what type of collapse they have if they're trying
to get the ca and have ip around different contracts on on bottles that'd be cool um
would be my pleasure thanks lock yeah pop off so i can get another person up let's talk to um
sog or no shogun sorry it's a shog not shogun what's going on y'all thanks for having
me up it was uh really inspiring to hear from steven in the water community i've been a big
supporter for bonk for a while now um i'm loving what's happening in the ecosystem giving back
doing right and also growing the old Solana ecosystem. It's also really cool
to have the Trump family and World Liberty FI deciding to bring USD1 to Solana through Bonk
Fund. So I'll keep it pretty short, but everyone was mentioning Branch, a big supporter of Branch as well,
and Tom and Nom and attendees and everybody else. I'm kind of like newer to the ecosystem,
even though I've been on Solana for a while, I was very inspired by what Bonk was able to do,
you know, deploying at when Solana was $9 and basically saving Solana.
So it's a little less known, but when I found out, I was fully on board.
So basically, I came to the understanding that the Bonk dog was actually supported by Branch's dog.
It's like the cutest dog ever, and the name is Tonic.
It's a really good community. We've
just been putting content out there and been, um, uh, one of the first projects that actually
deployed on bunk fun. So yeah, shout out to branch shout out to everybody on bonk. I don't want to
take too much time on the space, but that's a community that we've been hustling in and, uh,
doing the, you know, good thing, putting out content and staying consistent.
So if you guys want to check it out, the ticker is Tonic, T-O-N-I-C.
And if you want, I can put it down there in the comments.
But really appreciate you guys.
I'm really stoked on the future of Bonk and the future of Solana and the future of Tonic.
Solana and the future of Tonic.
Thanks, Shogun.
Thanks, Shogun.
That's like, so is Tonic, that's the,
is that actually what Bonk Dog's based off of?
Is that Dog specifically?
Yeah, so I was really surprised
because before that,
I was under the assumption that it was Cheams.
So there was like a Cheams at like 200 mil
or something on Binance.
Yeah, I know that Cheams, that's the Chinese cabal.
Yeah, anyway, go on. Yeah, so over the years seems that's the Chinese cabal I yeah anyway
yeah so over the years there's been a lot of confusion and I don't want to say
anyone's right or wrong and I also don't want to fud anything at the same time
because there is truth to each meme so that you know like the the bonk meme
where there's actually the dog hitting the other dog with the with the bat
there's there's the relation to teams in terms of that but the other dog with the, um, with the bat. There's, there's the relation to teams in
terms of that, but the actual dog that was in the office that inspired bonk when all those core
contributors did decided to deploy bonk, there is a real life dog. Like the dog exists. Click on
Branch's profile. First of all, everybody follow Branch. Shout out to branch um and and and the co-host and the
and the host hero as well but i was blown away when i realized how insane this narrative is and
it's sitting under everyone's nose and not to take anything away from bonk at all i just love to bring
up the history and i like meme lore i know that's going to probably be taken the wrong way, but I'm one of
those people that tries to look for narratives that I think can last multi-cycle and be here
for the long run. And I love things that have true history that you can actually identify on
the blockchain. So I'm supportive of all the other memes on Bonk, but this is the one that
really stood out to me. And, um, I'm going to continue
to be in there and put out content and spread the good word and teach more people about the history
of Bonk. But yeah, there was actually a real life Shiba Inu and, uh, it's Branch's dog.
And the best part is Branch keeps giving us amazing content to go off of. So, uh, I think
once Bonk continues to go, I think not only it's going to break its all time high, but it's really going to shock the world.
And that's just going to open the door for more people to come into the ecosystem and then learn about Tonic.
So I think it's incredibly undervalued.
I don't even ever look at the market cap or the price.
I just know that eventually value will find its way.
So, yeah.
Yeah, that's the coolest thing.
I mean, I love that.
So, yeah, the lore behind buying it.
And honestly, those are sometimes the best places.
Just buying something and then forgetting about it.
And you bought it for a reason.
Like, you see, like, yeah, this has potential to do something.
If Bonk does well, this would likely do well.
And even just coming on the space and talking about it.
Like, I didn't even, I've never seen tonic or heard about it before and now like i love those lore type of
coins where you go back because path um he talked about when friend tech was around if you guys even
know what that is a year year and a half ago he talked about a couple dog coins with lore
and they went up like 5 000 x within a four month period and he
never even talked about it he said i bought this because there's lore behind it and it's a high
conviction play and he talked about it once and i probably bought like 30 so nothing exciting right
but a 5 000 x on 30 that you forgot about is pretty awesome yeah I mean like what greater lore could
you ask for them the dog that inspired bonk that saved Solana to me it's like
an absolute no-brainer I love bonk I love branch and I love tonic I just gave
you and branch a follow thanks Shogun um cool so I I have a few minutes left and
sorry I'm not gonna get to everybody um maybe before well yeah fumble I really want to talk to the used car guy
though too but fumble you you go up first and then I'll talk to use car
after
can you hear us fumble you're up dude
it says you're not muted anymore but I can't hear you talk if you're trying to talk
okay we'll skip you for now until you figure it out um used car what's up
gmgm thanks for having me are you uh i love the used car i i like eddie a lot so i don't know if
you're close with eddie at all but no not at all not at all let's
hear about it then i saw the space and thought yeah i'll give it a shot i basically have a
question but uh let me just quickly uh say something about myself uh a friend of mine he
saw the used car meme uh back in the days obviously uh it pumped a lot. So I kind of was on my radar.
I kind of got more involved
because I truly loved the meme myself.
Then it got CTO'd and yeah,
they were more interested in a quick pump and dump.
I wasn't happy with that.
So I got myself in trouble and CTO'd the CTO
with a couple of other people,
not knowing what I will get myself
into it so uh recently I saw another OG meme uh I believe uh with all the new tokens out there uh
many uh who are obviously rocks at one point there's gonna be like uh yeah back to where
everything started um so uh yeah all the old I'm kind of bullish on some of the OGs
uh use car obviously is one of them I saw a tweet um that one of the OG tokens kind of migrated to
to Bonk and uh as another technical guy I thought yeah I would use the chance to kind of ask who I
would have to talk to uh because we don't have access to the original uh death wallet
um so yeah uh it will be awesome to uh yeah yeah to get in contact with someone who could help me
uh with some of the questions regarding if it's if it's possible to kind of migrate uh use car
to bonk which will be absolutely fantastic uh so yeah that's, that's why I'm here. And, yeah, everyone else in the space, please drop us a follow, especially if you like the car. Car has VTAC. Yeah.
I loved all the videos on it back in the day. You had Jakey, Steve, Eddie.die i mean everyone's buying these 97 through 99 used
man the the like the the cars actually went up by like 30 40 on the secondary market in the u.s
so funny i i almost bought one just for five i didn't even know any of it at the time i just
thought it was so funny um so i'll give you the official unofficial, just based on what I know. I bet intern probably can't comment on it either. I know that there,
well, I don't, there's likely some, well, Mobi, so Mobi, for example, they're migrating to Bonk.
And I do know one other OG token that is migrating to Bonk. That'll be really cool.
But I think that's going through
migrate.fun and they have their x somewhere you probably just search migrate.fun and i think if
you wanted to get in contact someone you'll want to message support skg um when i talk to him he's
the one who's working with migrate.fun on some of these migrations so he'd be your your go-to with
the bonk team that you'd want to speak with thank you uh could you drop a comment with the with the um handle the x handle that would be
fantastic yeah let me i'll follow you and i'll message you real quick it's just solport s-o-l-p-o-r-t
here in sec okay hey we have one minute left i I'm going to let, I'm not going to have everyone speak at once.
So if I missed you this time, I'm going to take a screenshot and then I'm going to make
you up on stage next time.
And we actually might move this spaces to do like three a week.
And I actually, by the way, I don't get paid for these spaces.
Normally I would try to like make money on this
kind of thing but I I genuinely love Bonk and I do this because I love it and the Bonk team's been
generous enough um to let me host and do it I'm sure there's a lot of other great people that
could do it so thanks for listening to me ramble on and and we have 30 weeks right now of different
communities um so two two a week right now for 30 weeks total.
So we might have to move it up to three days a week and bump it to like two or three communities
a week. But let's have last person, J-Man. Sorry for everyone else that I didn't get to. But J-Man,
let's hear it out. Hey, first off, I just want to say thanks everyone for coming up and sharing a lot of amazing projects.
I'm here to share the Gruda project, and I left the CA down in the comments.
Sorry, I'm a little nervous. My second space ever.
But yeah, I'm really, really bullish on it.
really really bullish on it um there's actually two ai tech tools um gru tech is coming out soon
There's actually two AI tech tools.
um and it's going to detect flip-flops on x users um it i believe it's going to bring a lot of eyes
on us um and i'm just truly happy to be part of the bonk ecosystem in general
that's awesome no you did good i the cool thing about spaces is you can just say
whatever and the more you do it the more confident you get. So it looks like Gruda is a tech play.
It's not just necessarily a meme then right? Yes correct and it's a tech play. It's actually
based on a real life pig Gruda which was actually saved from slaughter because the pig actually went viral over in the Russian continent territory.
So it's got a deep backstory as well.
The dev is diehard.
He's relentlessly working on the tech, updating every day, and he keeps the community vibes really high, which is great.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing, Jay, man.
Just because we're short on time, so I, so Gruta, G-R-U-T-A,
that's the ticker, right?
Yes, correct.
I agree to pay. Cool.
Yeah, so, so far we've learned about Saw water and then tonic best coin and gruda um
hey coles you've been on every space so far so i'll let you talk we're only at like a minute
left but i'm gonna have you come up just because you've been on every space so far and i feel bad
i need your request and not come up and talk
it's all right it's all right no big deal uh the thing the cool thing to learn about is branches
dog that's amazing story and the project water i just wanted to ask one thing to the water team
what's with the name how did you find the name like it's not water it's what what's the story
behind it if you are still on the space question for steven and the words for
steven is water it's funny but but yeah actually the story is such that uh steven just doesn't
know how to spell yeah yeah but it because it doesn't spell water it starts like what right
so i got confused like how how are you even
branding it like when you i mean he said you're talking to billion dollar i mean million or
billion dollar companies so when you present this thing how won't they ask is it what or water
well it started off with a joke with richard branson i'm not even lying on this one. So Stephen was invited to go to
Nacre Island or something like that. Excuse me on the name. Okay. Some Richard Branson's private
island. And so he got to speak to him and he told him, hey, Richard, I got the water.com.
And then he's like, what? How did you get water.com?
And then he just showed him how he spelled it.
Like water.
And so it was like, that's a, there's a little meme behind it.
And Richard Branson actually got replied to him after he said like, oh, like he, he showed
Richard Branson how it's spelled.
Cool.
And then Richard Branson was like ah you bastard
oh yeah
that's pretty cool
you bastard
but yeah
that's the name
it's I mean
there's a meme behind it
it's also
it signifies
there's a
there's a printer
if you know what that means
at the other end
like water
get that printing machine
and I mean it's the world's again at the other end, like water, get that printing machine.
And, I mean, it's the world's, again, most sustainable water bottle.
And in regards to your question, I know we're running out of time,
but we'll be at Solana Spaces this coming Friday through Sunday, 5 to 7. We're actually going to have the water bottles on us.
And the CA with the bank address, yeah and the CA with the bunk address yeah the CA
with the bunk address will be printed on the water so all the water warriors who can join us there
anybody in LA come through party with us at Solana Spaces a pretty cool project really like you know
you you guys been doing this in real life and then coming to Bung and doing it. It's really, really, really good.
Not going to shield anything.
It's all good.
Just wanted to say hi to everybody.
Thanks.
Some of the people here, we've already spoke on Twitter, I think,
or DM and all stuff.
So we all know each other.
The one thing is we all work together
it's it's pretty amazing how bone works and how bum doesn't work so all good so thanks for doing
this hero and i am also hero just a shorter version of hero so anyway thank you for doing
this and thank you all thanks so much col everyone. Thanks for joining. Thanks for telling us about Water, Tonic, Gruda, and BestCoin. I'll close out. So if you see the co-host SendIt, the token itself, it's about sending everything on Bonk.
to join, I would recommend joining that one. I don't ever check DMs, but I'm always in the
send it chat or the unstable coin chat. So, or if you know my telegram, I can get back to usually
there, but I try to avoid DMs because I've gotten scammed way too many times clicking bad links and
stuff. So I guess if you're going to send me a bad link, send it in that chat and then I'll
probably click on it and you can drain me. Anyway, that's best way to to get a hold of me um appreciate bonk we're
gonna i can't remember who we're doing next week but we have another one on thursday at 2 p.m and
then again like i said we're 30 weeks booked so we're probably gonna move this to like three days
a week and then extend it but everyone i missed that requested please come up next week uh or
sorry on thursday and I'll take
a screenshot and I'll try to invite you up again. And appreciate all the insight, appreciate BOMP team,
and thanks for telling us about your projects, guys. Take care. Thank you.
