Previous space got rugged.
I don't know what happened.

If you're interested, I'll pin it up to the Jumbotron as well.
Wait a minute.
I don't have Wi-Fi on this phone.
Yeah, that's what happens.
That's what happens, fam.
I think for next time in case I get rugged, which I think that was an X issue.

I'm sorry.
No worries, guys.
Alright.

Blue rags and house shoes, they know how to dog do.
Skinny nigga, heavy pockets, the wet, so shit.
Can't a nigga cross the globe, say they don't know me.
I've been applying pressure from 8 to 24 like cokey.
Mr. Hall of Fame used to bend the corners for strolling.
Had to lay the blueprint, they rolled out the carpet.
Anything I want, I own, I got my own market.
Blew this, blew that, everything's human.
Still ain't sold my guns and I still ain't had to use them, no.
Was once a hard head, now I'm counting black.

I'm still with it, no half-steppin', I'ma go and get it.
I'm an artist, let me paint the picture so vivid.
Every day is Saturday.
They create your life a limit.
So just to be intimate.
Make a change and make some changes.
It ain't about progression.
Get them thoughts about your brain.
I can't afford it.
Smoke to ease the pain.
Created some people strange by my lane.
Ace it.
I run the game.
Marathon.
I got a train.
Looking at all of these stops.
Is really who can stop.
No reason uphill.
But I started at the fire.
Hey, name a thing, man, I done have stuff.
From the streets to movie screens, we're getting bags and checks.
Kept it solid, you won't hit me with no bad rep.
Legendary tripping, make it happen, and that's on the set.
Still rolling on gold things, I'm a boss nigga, no doubt at all.
Shut the teeth, but the white tips, it's low, at least when I make a call.
Give a tank of rain, never tend to go.
I be drinking my own shit.
Steel highs, blue sky, no question, that's my own shit.
Never been a sucker or a bust on my dog shit.

I think it's been
Crypto,am Radio. Oh, yeah.
Death roll.
Welcome back, everyone.
This is Crypto Famer Radio.
This is episode two, breaking into blockchain art.
Yeah, we rugged the space accidentally.
Earlier, X did that to us.
I swear I did, and I have good Wi-Fi. I have good service, and I don't know what happened there.
But welcome back,
guys.
It's our second hour of this space.
Appreciate everyone being here.
Again, Zone Tech.
Zoni, are you there testing one, two, three?
I guess I'm here.
All right, cool.
Just want to make sure.
Yeah, I don't know what the heck happened earlier, but I'm trying to remember, what
was the last thing you guys talked about before the space
got rugged, because it was so funny. I was actually hearing you guys talk about me rugged,
and then I couldn't say anything, and then eventually it just rugged itself. Like,
yeah, it just died. I don't know. It was weird. It was a different rug, but yeah. Anyway, yeah,
what were we discussing? I forget. Yeah, so Tricky and I, he was just basically telling me, you know, to join all of these other, like, you never know what platforms or what sites or what events to submit your work to because you just never know what opportunity can come from that and in the middle of him like saying um the different ones i know he had mentioned art
basil um it like literally rugged so but i wanted to say tricky that's actually that's been my kind
of like um way of just like networking and like jumping around to different spaces and stuff like
that that's that's actually how I found CryptoFam Radio do
because he ended up spotlighting me,
I think two weeks ago.
And from that, it allowed me to just continue to carry on
and talk with other people in other spaces
and get comfortable and stuff like that.
So I definitely plan on going to a lot of events.
I went to a lot in 2021 and 2022.
So I plan on kind of revamping that again.
But yeah, I would definitely, I'm going to definitely take your advice and just, because
again, as you said before, you just never know.
And I've been finding a lot of people who've been just really open and
honest and like authentic about this process of joining, excuse me, joining my journey. So yeah,
I appreciate you for that. Yeah, no problem. I'm a personal advisor as well. So I do spaces on
spaces on Monday, Wednesday where I just give away my time so you don't have to pay my hourly rate.
Monday, Wednesday, where I just give away my time so you don't have to pay my hourly rate.
My hourly rate is $300. I do consult consultations for $100. But you can just come by the space and
ask any kind of question you want for free. I usually get like first of the DeFi Space
Donkeys holders, my club, Hope Mill members, they get first dibs. Subscribers get second dibs,
but we always get through all the questions. Like I usually just keep...
I got a phone quick
but but yeah um there's a lot of uh people in our club there's like 370 people in the
defy space donkeys club and a lot of them are are artists different types of artists so
um new york uh has a big opportunity uh miami uh any of, any of the art festivals, lean into it.
You just never know.
If I would have applied for a speaking role and some of my art to be displayed at NFDNYC, I would have got in.
I just didn't do it because I didn't think I was even going.
And then CryptoFam Radio stepped up to sponsor an EAC, and I got to go and rock it in New York.
I gave away about $12,000 worth of stuff.
That's like my ideal job.
I'm like fucking Santa Claus, Web3 Santa Claus.
But yeah, I strongly recommend submitting to everything because, yeah, you just, you never know.
Yeah, no, I love that. I love that. And yeah, that's another reason why Du and I,
we decided to team up. And even with this space is just getting information like that out to
people. So then that way people know artists, collectors, even if you are a builder or you are someone who is not necessarily an artist, but any way that
you can come in and contribute and really learn from Web3, because Web3 is such, like, people
don't understand we're still early. Like, a lot of people assume, like, it's too late and, like,
things have already been done. And it's like, no, like it's still really early.
And if you are able to really get a grasp and network and meet different people,
authentic people, and just, you know, obviously use discernment towards, you know, scammers and
stuff like that. But if you're able to meet some really genuine, authentic people, it's just going
to help you in the end. And I'm an advocate when it comes
to IRL, like meeting in real life and going to these different events, because you get to see
the person, you get to see their personality, you get to see how they are, and you get to see if you
if you if you guys hit it off or not. So you know, that's the beauty of even being able to connect in
this space. Because you just never know. So I definitely love
that. Thank you for sharing that with the space. Yeah, I love the IRL events. They've really grown
on me because I'm a hidden chronic illness advocate too. I've got Crohn's disease. I explain
my whole battle through the medical system and I never thought I was going to do any events
until this last couple of years. I started feeling better with like the tea that I'm making and I've been able to do
all kinds of crazy shit. If you were here, if this was last year, I would be able to get you
displayed at our event. We had, I brought together 53 different communities. We had 100 visual artists,
16 musical performers. We took over a club in Miami called The Electric Lady.
And we were there from 4 p.m. till 2 a.m.
Lying out the door like 60 people.
It was fucking awesome.
But, you know, the more you get involved, everyone's got these events.
It's easy to get a little bit of exposure here and there.
But, yeah, all you got to do is be present for the most part.
But we have one member of the club, I-Ride.
She's a painter.
And she's been really attacking it hard,
going to different galleries
and trying to get her stuff displayed different places.
And yeah, I mean, just try everything.
See what sticks.
Shout out to Seth down there.
What's up, what's up?
Chum Wizard.
Moon.
How's it going, everybody?
Make sure you retweet the space and let's tag people.
If we can get over 25 people, I'll give away a $5 bag of weed. Moon, how's it going everybody? Make sure you retweet the space and let's tag people.
If we can get over 25 people, I'll give away a $5 bag of weed.
And I'll give it a $4.20 weed to anyone who doesn't have weed in their wallet.
Dude, you might want to co-host Zonion and or me, just so you have extra safety.
All right, all right, all right.
I sent you both co-hosts.
Yeah, let's build up this space a little bit more, fam.
We rugged earlier.
No idea why, but we're back.
We're back.
So make sure you are retweeting and liking.
Big shout out to ChumWizard down there as well.
If you want to come back up, you can.
It's all right. I can't promise we might
rug again. In the meantime, we are talking about breaking into blockchain art. If you're
an artist, we want to hear from you. How are you marketing your art, your NFT art into
Web3, or just art in general into Web3 like what chains are you working on or building
on we want to hear your experiences uh means only we were talking earlier about some of our past
experiences getting our art onto uh the blockchains tricky as well he's uh he's got some art on
polygon as well and just other uh places but it's always nice to know, you know, because every artist is different, right? Every
artist has a certain proclivity when it comes to a certain chain that they favor compared to other
chains. I think it's very dependent on the people that you connect with, right? And they kind of
convince you or persuade you. I'm like, come to this chain. Or maybe, you know, you just did DYR,
right? And after all the research of all the different blockchains, you'm like, ooh, come to this chain. Or maybe you just did DYOR, right?
And after all the research of all the different blockchains, you're like, you know what? Polygon's
the best for me. I'm going to go on Polygon. Who knows? So it's like, we want to know past
experiences because every experience is different, right? We all have different ways we view things,
different biases, different opinions. So we absolutely want to hear from you.
Big shout out to, we got Demigod in the house.
What's going on, Demigod?
And then we got Seth as well.
Big shout out to Seth and all my alt accounts out there.
We got Iri just joining us as well.
Thank you so much for being here, Iri.
I've seen her a few times in our spaces.
So big shout out to Iri.
I had to tag Iri because we were just talking about her.
Oh were we? Okay.
Yeah, I-Ride is a DeFi space donkey and a very talented painter.
We had her at our event.
She was painting live, which was really cool.
We've done, she's done all kinds of stuff.
There was a breast cancer charity calendar we did last year.
She's always doing cool stuff.
And she was able to come to Miami last year, too.
So we got to hang out.
She's a holder, so she won a $50 Sherlock for just showing up.
Wow.
What's up, Ivor? That's amazing.
Everybody who met me in NYC, well, not everybody, but most people, got about $100.
Because I was walking around with $10,000 in coins to claim. And I didn't tell people that I told them it was worth
a dollar, maybe $10, but no, each one of those was worth a hundred bucks to claim, to claim tokens.
I love being able to just be the Web3 Santa Claus. It's definitely, definitely a life goal.
I'm good at that.
So yeah, but seriously, everyone who doesn't have weed
in their wallet, send me a soul addy
that doesn't have weed in it, I'll drop you 420.
Welcome, I-Rai.
Thanks for talking me up.
That was really nice.
Zoni is a photographer and we were just talking about you know the different opportunities
whether they be New York or Miami you know different shows that you can put your art in
front of and I know you've been really ambitious with that you've been in a couple magazines and
yeah so I mean anything you want any alpha you've got to share on that would probably be cool.
Well you know what is really cool is this organization called Hug.
And if you don't know about it, you should really look into it because it is great.
And that's how I've shown in New York City now, which was a dream of mine.
But I've shown there five times now and um physical work and digital work and um they're just really uh
it's a new company uh maybe about two years old now and they just merged with another company
called art um what's it called i forget what it's called right now, but anyway, um,
they have so many opportunities for showing your work. And I mean, good opportunities where you can
get your name out there and really start to, um, take off. And that's what's been happening with me
since I joined them. And it's it's I think it's $29 a year
only. So you can't beat it. It's hug H U G.
Awesome. Thanks, Irai.
Awesome. Thanks. Yeah, no problem.
Yeah, no problem.
Yeah, thank you so much, Irai. It's so crazy because I was in their spaces earlier with Hug
and also Art Registry, and they were basically explaining that they merged and they're looking
for different creators and different artists to join in. And yeah, that's actually one of the
platforms that I plan on kind of spearheading and like putting my artwork out there.
So that's actually a good recommendation, but it's also a good platform to bring up because
they literally just merged and they're looking for artists to
basically be displayed on their platform. So thank you for that.
Yeah, no problem. It really is a great company. And I, you know, I, I feel like I have really
been growing since I joined them. So if you're an artist of any kind, I would suggest going over there and it's growth.
It's, you know, artistic growth. Plus there's all sorts of artists on there that you can connect
with and you can, you can judge whether or not people get accepted into the program, which is kind of cool because it's,
it's like a, um, you know, a, uh, it's of your peers. So that's how you get in. And, um,
it's great. I can't speak enough about it. Love it.
I can't speak enough about it.
Love it.
Awesome.
So cool, fam.
I appreciate you, Iry, for sharing that.
You can pin something up on the Jumbotron or in comments more about the hug community.
Hugs.
That sounds fun.
I need more hugs in my life, fam.
Hugged out. There's no one to hug up in the mountaintops. my life, fam. Hugged out.
There's no one to hug up in the mountaintops.
You know, it's just some bears.
You don't want to hug a bear.
Trust me.
You don't want to hug bears.
Make sure we're retweeting the space, fam.
It's CryptoFam Radio.
We're talking about breaking into blockchain art.
Different chains, different NFT marketplaces that artists can join and get involved.
Yeah, hugs is definitely one of them.
Big shout out to everyone in the space.
Again, I see you, Louie.
Louie in the house.
Louie is an amazing artist in his own right.
He's a musician, musical artist, but entertainer, I would say.
Definitely need more entertainers in the house, fam.
If you're not you know entertained
and uh what are you doing here right so big shout out to everyone in the building at Seth
Rosin as well and then Demi God as well just uh let everyone know um we are going to be rugging
the space in probably about 30 40 minutes but uh in the meantime though if you do want to request
a mic talk about your experience as an nfc artist where to
go where not to go um yeah life stories about um your uh misadventures let's say into uh web3 art
and the communities uh out there you know i'm sure there's a lot of good stories there's also some
pretty bad stories right so uh we invite everyone because experiences are experiences, right? Even
if it's good or bad, you still learn from them, right? It's that learning that we can take with
us and we can grow from, right? So I'm a big believer in trying everything at least once,
right? And then you'll know if you like it or not, right? So like, you know, to give you a
perfect example, let's say I want to build on Sui, right?
I'm like, oh, this Sui network.
Oh, I love it.
It means water in Japanese.
There's some really cool NFT artists on here.
And then, you know, you meant a few.
And then that's it, right?
Like, no, no, that's not it.
You got to keep going back, right?
Like, consistency is key. You can't just do something once and expect people
to buy your stuff right like if you're if you're gonna be part of that community
which you know his own right that's gonna take time right it's gonna take a
lot of time a lot of energy you just can't mint something expect people to
buy right like we were talking about this before his own tech you know you
got to get out there you know talk about talk about it, right? You got to tell your story. And if someone connects
to it, connects to you or connects to your art and an extension, there we go, to you, then,
you know, beautiful things can happen, right? And you've got a supporter right there. You got a
believer and they'll, you know, nine times times out of ten they'll probably mint something from your collection if they if they like you right as a
person they trust you they're gonna buy from you right so that's that's just easy marketing 101
there so uh big shout out to everyone who's already spoken as well tricky zoni irai you know
chum wizard um and then yeah if you guys have anything else to add in the conversation
please do or you can raise your hand if you don't want to interrupt me too that that's that's kind
of been my pet peeve like if i jump into other people's spaces and i don't know them i just like
i raise my hand because like i don't know you know like but you notice if you've seen these
people around they talk to the same you know people all time. You kind of get how they speak with patterns, right?
So you know when like, okay, is he still breathing?
Like he can only take one breath.
He's got to breathe in so he can't talk when he breathes, right?
So maybe I can get in what I want to say, right?
But anyway, that's just me overthinking, fam.
Zoni, I want to check in with you real quick.
How are you doing, fam?
And did we get through all the points that we wanted to talk about in this space?
I wasn't sure if you had anything else you wanted to add for episode two,
breaking into blockchain art.
Yeah, I think we touched on a lot of different tools that you can use to market yourself
as well as branding.
I really appreciate all the speakers coming up
and just sharing their expertise,
also sharing their journey.
This is what this is about,
just to get people more involved,
especially breaking into Web3.
Yeah, and just marketing.
Marketing yourself, branding yourself,
putting yourself out there,
going to these different spaces.
Again, earlier today, as I said, I was in this space with Hug and Art Registry, and it was a great informative space,
just allowing you to connect with all of these experienced artists and them telling their stories and their journey and allowing you to just kind of see how you can
fit in and how you can learn. So I think this space is really good for our second space,
besides being rubbed. I think that, again, the importance of just being able to put yourself
out there, excuse me, and just connecting with
people and just being genuine and people will see that. And I think the more that we continue to
have this space and we connect with other people, the more we'll see that continue to grow. So I
appreciate everybody for coming up. I thought I was gonna get a lot of traction just being smart but
no people just care about the vibe. That's all it is. The vibe and maybe
give me some free stuff. Also when you're for artists depending on what kind of
art you make, TikTok and Instagram do really really well at process and video
content. So like if you make like a highlight
roll with your some of your photography, and then put it all those places, you could actually you
could do pretty well. You can actually get monetized over in other places faster. But also
when you're making x posts, everybody who's making x posts, this is like simple alpha.
It's really obvious, but it's almost too obvious. So when you buy advertising space, like in a newspaper or magazine, you pay more for a bigger space, right?
You pay more for better coverage.
Well, on Twitter, you're advertising yourself with every tweet.
But some people can scroll past a one-line tweet real quick.
So you put an image, you max out the characters, you put spaces.
You make that single post so big that it's impossible for someone to scroll past it, you know, in zombie mode.
Yeah, that's exactly right. Oh, sorry, Zoni.
No, I was going to say, yeah, that's what I've learned when you put images or you put videos of you creating and crafting your art or you put just like just ways to like really get people's attention.
You get a lot more traction. Also to a technique that I learned is joining different communities. communities so for example I'm a part of the fine art cult it's XRPL artists but
it's like fine artists and there's so many different communities there's an
Ft community photography community it's it's so many different communities and
when you go on the communities tab you'll be able to connect to different art or photography or
entertainment. So those are other ways too, to be able to get your post recognition because
now you can tag these communities. And when your post is in that actual community,
you can have more traction towards people like looking at your post.
So I highly recommend joining some of these communities.
And what I'll do is I'll put in the I'll put in the chat different communities that I've joined that have been helpful.
That's amazing. Thank you so much, Zoni, for doing that. Much appreciated.
Also, guys, up in the Jumbotron, I just posted our next space.
It's going to be our Saturday Space Challenge.
Chill tomorrow, noon EST, set your space reminders, fam.
We're here.
It's a giveaway space, so we give away Nico.
He's our sponsored Web3 project for that space um he's agreed uh as long as i sponsor him the space he'll
do the giveaway i was like hey that's cool i like it i like it i don't have to spend any of my own
money and then yeah so it's great so uh we love sponsors if you if you want to do a giveaway for
a space let us know we can collaborate with you on it uh just so happens this is a caturday space right but it's
like oh everyone's welcome all projects are welcome we do five minute shows and we have a
really really great time uh if you haven't met nico on eath yet you definitely should tap into
him and his community uh he's got a great vibe and he's just a really nice guy too he's just a good
good person he's actually not too far from miami not too far
from uh uzoni so he's over in the bahamas and uh he's actually a photographer as well believe it
or not so everyone's a photographer it's crazy photography is just like a it's a universal thing
that's why everyone's got a bomb ass photo like like camera. We're all, we're all.
Cameras on these phones, man.
Let me tell you, they've got so much better than 10 years ago.
I used to buy a new waterproof, freeze proof camera every time I went on a vacation because
the text was changing so fast.
And now like all the cameras are so good.
It doesn't even matter.
It's wild.
So Zoni, did you have a
tick tock or instagram because process videos do really well yes um so i have i have um a tick tock
and i have a youtube it's all under zone tech which is my company um and because i do a lot
of traveling i i'm a little backed up. I'm a little behind.
I was telling Duke, but I plan on putting more videos out of just my processing when
I go, how I source out the location, different buildings, the homework that I do, like just
really my process of like how I capture a lot of these buildings and then how I form
it into the concept
that I do. So, so yeah, social media is huge. Especially when you can capitalize it with, with
art. Definitely, definitely fam. You got to capitalize it on art fam. Oh, we had a new
speaker in the house. Just wanted to welcome him real quick.
We got Reza.
What's going on Reza?
GMGM, happy, happy Friday.
TGIF, are you an artist as well fam?
GMGM guys.
Happy weekend to every one of you guys.
I'm also an artist.
I'm a professional artist for meme coin projects, 2D, 3D artist and anime.
That's a little too.
Nice to meet you guys.
Nice to meet you, man.
I think I've seen you around.
But yeah, Riz, definitely if you're making content for meme content and videos,
Yeah, Riz, definitely if you're making content for like meme content and videos, the weed
coin has 40% of the supply just to reward people, engagers, and to burn.
So yeah, meme for weed, man.
Make some cool stuff.
And if it's awesome, I'll share it out and you'll get a little airdrop.
Yeah, I think so, Animbo, but you haven't replied me.
I messaged you.
You haven't replied me, bro.
Awesome.
Let's grow, fam.
Thank you so much, RZA, for coming up and speaking.
Yeah.
Make sure you follow me as a memecoin art and video designer crafting viral visuals for Web3 and crypto trends.
Interesting, fam.
I absolutely love it.
I'll flick you a follow,
and we'll definitely keep up to date on your art.
And then I forgot we still had Chum Wizards up here, fam.
I just wanted to tap into you real quick, Chum Wizard.
I feel like we didn't really talk too much before that last space got rubbed.
I forget.
You are an artist as well you you
said you paint right you're a painter uh so i i do i do both physical and digital art um i i'm
actually to be quite frank i'm a cartoon artist uh oh cool more focused on on building my ip out
demons of magnolia nice um which will culminate in a animated show
slash short films uh but yeah i what i what i choose to do is um depending on how i feel with
each piece sometimes it'd be just digital sometimes it'd be just traditional and sometimes i'd like to
do a mix of the two um especially with line work I've always enjoyed just you know doing
that by hand you know art started for me just doodling in you know random sketchbooks as a
kid or in my notebook during class and I I still have a huge love for that so I always come back
to the traditional art uh but yeah I do cartoon art and And then I also with the Twisted Tweaks community, I do a weekly magazine where we just showcase different artists across blockchains.
Oh, beautiful, fam. I love that. I had no idea you're part of that. You said it's a magazine. That's cool.
Like like you guys publish like IRL, i could i could buy uh like an actual issue
sent to me so no it is it is just a digital magazine as we as we move forward uh i i will
start doing because of the cost of print uh for physicals i'll probably only do like one or two a
year but that'll be a culmination of all the artists that have been featured so far that's cool yeah i should put something about that are you guys still looking
for artists you welcome artists can artists apply like how does the process work um so right now the
twisted tweets community uh goes out and selects different artists that they see every week. But I'm always open to seeing new art.
So anybody that, you know, either tags me in it or just shares it with me,
at some point or another, I want to be able to showcase every artist
because it's a way to just, like, have a index on the blockchain
for people to refer back to and see all these different artists.
Because, you know, it's kind of hard to scroll through your Twitter feed
and find everybody, and not everybody's in one central hub.
So just a way for people to have some place that they can go to
and just be like, oh, here's these artists,
and I can go to each of their profiles through the Artist Index in the magazine.
Man, good to hear you, chum. I love your work. I've said I shared some stuff up top
And yeah chum wizards good guy everyone make sure you follow him
He's a he supports other people on web 3. He is a subscriber. So, you know, he's doing stuff, right?
It's only $2 to subscribe people. It's probably worth it. What do you think chum?
It's only $2 to subscribe, people.
It's probably worth it.
What do you think, Chum?
My personal opinion, absolutely.
I mean, the difference between before I subscribed and after,
Tricky has definitely got lots of tricks and tips for you.
Hell yeah.
I love seeing what you're doing out here.
And I love the positivity, too.
You've always got a positive vibe. And it's not easy to maintain all the time so yeah respect for that
yes i concur tricky it is very difficult to maintain positive vibes every single day like
today i was like hey i'm gonna be really positive happy but you know i woke up this morning at like
three in the morning and with my cat screaming down my ear wanting food or something. I don't know what she wanted, fam.
But like all today, I feel tired, right? I feel tired. You know, I'm trying to be positive,
but I think it's just from yesterday, right? Because I trained and I ran a lot. So, you know,
it's okay, you know, to not always be positive too, because I feel like that's kind of an unrealistic standard in 21st century, you know, reality that you live in.
And I'm a big believer in balance, right?
We want to be balanced in the fourth, Tricky.
We want to have, you know, our highs and lows, right?
But as long as we're kind of tracking, right?
Like we're kind of like in that um stage, right?
Of just like finding that peace, finding that, you know, just that iridescent way of coming back to self, right?
And rediscovering who you are, what you're doing, and why you're
doing it, right? So, big believer in self. You know, everything starts with self. You don't
have yourself right, how you expect to help others, right? So, I'm a big believer in mindset,
right, mindset training, and definitely positivity. Being an optimist, too. I think, you know, you meet people
on your journey of life, right? You can tell who the natural optimistic people are in life. And
then you can also tell who the natural pessimistic people are in life. And sometimes we waver, you
know, one or the other. But I feel like, you know, if you have a personality, which everyone does,
I'm a big believer in personalities, right? You're going
to lean either one way or another, and people are going to feed off that energy, right?
And it's that energy that people are going to be attracted to, right? So if you're more
positive, you release more positive energy, you're going to have more positive people
around you, right? So it makes sense. Common sense, common sense, right, Tricky?
Yeah, yeah, a lot of common sense. Common sense. Common sense. Right, Tricky? Yeah.
A lot of common sense.
You would think.
You would think, but it's not always so common out here, right?
It's really not so common.
I don't know. What do you think, Zoni?
Zoni's been a little quiet over here.
She's probably busy working.
No, I've just been listening.
Okay, what are your thoughts on what I've just said the last five minutes?
Yeah, I mean, you know, we have bad days.
We have moments in time where, you know, we need to debrief and we need to collect ourselves.
And I think it's important to be able to touch grass or to meditate or do yoga or create art, figure out ways that will bring you back to that joy and bring you back to that happiness.
And we're not always going to be happy. We're not going to always be excited.
And there's going to be moments where we're going to be rattled by, you know, whether it's distractions or people or, you know, what you see on the news, propaganda.
or people or, you know, what you see on the news, propaganda. So it's just, it's important to use
discernment and it's important to find ways to create joy for yourself. And, um, if you, again,
as an artist, I'm an artist, that's how I'm able to kind of like break out of that funk, um, or
people like being around different people and just talking to different people and seeking help.
That's another way too. So yeah, I think it's okay. Just like I told you, like you're fine.
It's okay. It's just one day. As long as you, you know, you have a positive spirit and you look at
it, you learn from what it is that, you know, occurred. And
now it's just about moving forward. Yeah. Emotions are sensory perceptions, let you know that
something's up, you know, but feeling them doesn't always help you. If you need to run from a tiger
or fight someone off, you know, it's great. But these days it's not, that's not the issue.
You know, it's great.
But these days, that's not the issue.
Calm collected.
Yeah, work on your breathing.
I promise you, fam, if you do breathing exercises,
aka meditation, at least 10 to 15 minutes every morning,
you'll be a much calmer person throughout the day.
All right, so that's the alpha.
That's the alpha for today.
For breaking into blockchain art, just practice your breathing.
And you could even do it throughout the day as well.
I do it many times when I'm driving, right?
Because when you're driving, you're driving, but what else can you do?
Your mind kind of wanders.
Practice your breathing.
A lot of people, they don't breathe correctly, right?
Like you're supposed to take bigger breaths than what you naturally take, you know,
and you don't really pay attention to your breathing sometimes.
But in certain activities, certain situations, you really need to practice your breathing, like, aka running, right?
Like I'm constantly practicing and breathing as slow and as, like, intentional as possible
because I know the slower I breathe, the slower my heart rate goes,
right? And if my heart rate is lower, I'm able to not become so tired as quickly, right? So
remember that, and it's like, this is why a lot of Olympic sports athletes say they have such a
low heart rate, right?
Because they've practiced, they were intentional with their breathing.
And a lot of, especially cardio-esque sports, you need to have that stamina in order to continue and press forward, right?
So really think about that as you're working as well.
The sense you're breathing.
I know, yeah, yeah, that definitely has something to do with your R2 zone.
I'm a big believer in that.
You know, breathing definitely has its ways on many, many activities out there in today's world.
So definitely take that in consideration, fam. So funny, we came back to breathing.
But anyway, back to breaking into blockchain art again, fam. I'm just going to recap what we
talked about. You know, if you guys are just joining us or just joined us last 30 minutes,
we, I, I run to space earlier, and I'll admit it and the first hour
we were talking a lot about certain
NFT marketplaces
I think we have the recording up on there
as well on the timeline
from the rug so you can always go back
to and hit
all of those different
topics or subjects within
the NFT marketplaces,
within different types of blockchains.
And so we talked a bit about that.
I'm not going to go in detail about each NFT marketplace,
but it was more along the lines of objects,
polygon to XRP.
There's a few more zone tech.
What else did we talk about zone tech?
I'm trying to remember.
We talked about marketing in the space,
finding ways to market yourself,
again, joining these different communities,
also, too, being a part of different spaces.
Spaces like this is important
because it allows newer people
who may not necessarily feel
or need more information. This is like a great way to
build a community and just connect with like-minded people that can actually talk about their experience
and talk about their journey along the way. Talked about social media and again we had
different speakers that came up and they also said just different ways to really put yourself out there and market yourself within the space.
Tricky brought up a big one, which was just being able to put yourself out there.
You never know. For example, when he submitted his work to Art Basel, he ended up getting in because of that piece.
And Iray, she also brought up Hug, as well as Art Registry, joining different communities like that, that's really focused on artists and really showing how they can put their work out there and just have a community to back them. So I think we had,
honestly, a very solid, solid space, despite, you know, the rugging. And I love this, like,
this is what it's about. It's about really creating a community, talking to different people,
and just being able to pick each other's brains, like, hey, I went through this, or hey, I experienced
this. And, you know, this is my outcome. And this is the success that I was able to come up with. So
I really appreciate each and every one of you for coming up and just, just saying your testimony.
And honestly, this is, I love this. I really do. And this is really what it's about. So thank you
again. Thank you so much. Let's go. Yeah, man, you got to stay positive it doesn't it's never helpful to
to be negative you feel that shit disregard it keep moving forward the sooner you can interrupt
that negativity and begin jumping positive the easier it becomes so yeah that's what's up um
lots of great people in this space man retweet the room let's see what we got for retweets we
got seven retweets but 13 people in here
So half of you didn't even do it. So go down there. You do a quote retweet tag some friends
I'm gonna give away some weed
Text me or not just text me but DM me your soul Eddie
For a wallet that doesn't have weed in it. I'll send you 420 simple as that
Simple as that.
but I appreciate everyone who also subscribes because
But I appreciate everyone who also subscribes because that's been growing.
And my goal is to hit like 10,000 subscribers so I can just be a full-time Twitter positivity and hidden chronic illness advocate.
That'll fund all my advocacy instead of having to sign contracts.
Hey, you know what I wanted to mention that's coming up soon is Inktober.
Has anyone here ever done that?
I did it.
You're going to get a tattoo?
It's basically you get prompts.
And it's just like one word prompt.
And then you draw whatever you want.
And you share.
You share on X.
It's really cool because it gives you a lot of practice with your drawing.
And you have to, you know, pretty much finish it in a day, too.
So you have to get skilled at drawing kind of quickly.
But you still want it to look good.
So it's challenging to get the whole thing done.
But I did it two years ago.
And I think I might try it again this year.
It's really fun.
It's called Inktober.
And they have a page on.
I'll see if I can find their page.
I'll post that, too.
Awesome.
Thank you so much, Ira.
Yeah, I've actually heard of something similar to that.
I followed this one Instagram account.
It was like illustrations of cats, right?
And they made like every day.
It was like a spooky cat kind of thing.
Well, it was like black cats. But yeah, I was like, okay, it was like a spooky cat kind of themed. Well, it was like black cats.
But yeah, I was like, okay, this is cool.
And like every day, this artist, this illustrator created a new picture of a black cat doing something.
It was like a different scenario almost.
And it was actually really fun.
And I noticed that she was actually part of like a collective, so to speak, of different artists, illustrators, you know, creating their
own little graphics or their own little images. And it was like a 30-day challenge, right,
kind of deal, right? So, which I think is really fun. And it is great because it pushes you,
right, to do something every day for 30 days, which you could apply to any activity, right? So you think about that.
If you're struggling on a habit or struggling with consistency, try to make it into a challenge,
right? Like do a 30-day social media challenge every day. I'll post something on social media
every day. And then 30 days later, who knows what you've created. And then how many comments,
likes, follows. It's a great way to, I guess, hack your marketing, right,
when it comes to trying to be more creative in the space or trying to share more things.
Or, you know, if you're struggling posting daily, you know, this is a great way to work on that.
So other than that, we're going to do closing statements, fam.
We're hitting the top of our second hour.
So for those of you who do want to do closing thoughts, this is your time now.
And I just wanted to real quick say thank you to everyone who joined the space again for the second time.
Appreciate the support as well.
If you missed the first hour we actually
rubbed right around the second hour you know in the last space so it's on our
timeline you can you can visit our first hour recording there but breaking into
blockchain art episode 2 I just titled this one part 2 so I don't get mixed up
when I put it on the podcast later and fam, if you are more of a podcast person, you have Spotify,
you can always listen to CryptoFam Radio over there. You know, you can just type in CryptoFam
Radio, we'll pop up as a podcast, and then you'll be able to see our previous episodes or previous
shows that we have already recorded in spaces. So it's a great way in case you miss our noon EST live time,
you can always check and catch the recording after. So I've been pretty diligent and intentional
trying to get every episode after we finish onto the podcast the next few days after. I'm a little
bit behind and I'm actually going to go back to the archive that's right fam of crypto fam radio we
have an archive because we've been running these spaces literally like since earlier this year I
would say February March when he started taking it really seriously so I have a ton of recordings
from different profiles AMAs I think Tricky Buddha I've got yours somewhere I need to dig up. I was going to put that
on the podcast. I did AMA with Tricky Buddha.
The Web3
Women profile of Zonetech is already
up there, fam. So if you want to hear that,
that's on the podcast as well.
And like I said, you've got Spotify. You're good
to go, fam. Just look us up there.
I should put that right under my DeFi Space Donkey
account.
That'd be amazing.
It was a good interview, man.
I think it was good.
Yeah, it was great.
It was, I think, one of the first AMAs I did, actually, when I rebooted the CryptoFM radio.
I could easily carry a space for, like, two or three hours before I start running out of stuff to, like, talk about.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
That and I just, like, I always feel the attention spans of people, right? It's like, how long? Like, these aren't Joe Rogan-esque, you know, episodes. We're not going for three to four hours, like, just talking on one person, you know, like, it's, I don't know. Like, I know I can do it, but it's like, at the same time, I'm like, I think less is more, you know, like, after talking with DigiJoints and how they're restructuring their show starting next week, they're getting a lot more stringent on times as well.
a show but a complete show that has enough content where the algorithm sees me but enough
time to give people to jump in if they want to jump in it's usually the last 15 minutes of the
show before i rug it right like as we can see uh we've had a few more people join since then so
you know it is what it is but i just you know i got other shit to do i can't be here all day right
so it's like i want to respect everyone's time as well.
Sorry.
We got a hand, Reza.
What's going on, Reza?
I'm good, man.
Tricky, Tricky, I'll send you some samples in your DM.
You can just, can you check it out?
Let me know what you think about it.
Pretty cool, man.
I'll check it out.
Yeah, it's all the stuff on your page. Animations are fun.
There's a lot of cool AI techniques now that you can really make some cool shit.
I made this animated poster for our show, High Intelligence, that's on Fridays at 420.
And it had lightning to their eyes, and it was so cool.
It got 57,000 views like the first day.
It's pretty crazy.
You can't compare an animation and AI to what the professional do.
You can't do that.
There are some changes there.
There are some changes.
Oh, you're changes there. bunch of different platforms I really like Higgs field but like you got to pay for it if you've ever played with the Higgs field AI video like animators oh man so cool let me find that that one I'm talking about so I can share it up
top how awesome tricky Ira did you want to have closing thoughts here before we
get out of here yes I do you know what I was thinking another
little piece of alpha for you if you're interested in getting into galleries and
doing gallery work the best way that you can do that is to go to a co-op gallery or a non-for-profit gallery.
They're always looking for artists.
They always want artists.
So it's a good place to start because you walk in there feeling wanted to begin with.
And it's not, you know, your snooty gallery.
For the most part, usually they're pretty chill.
And that's how I started off.
And now I'm showing in New York City and in museums and magazines.
So, yeah, co-op gallery or non-for-profit gallery.
They'll welcome you with open arms if you have
good work hell yeah appreciate the alpha man for sure i'm glad you popped in yeah me too tag a
friend and they join it's great thank you yeah oh yeah hope you're doing well i threw that
animation i was talking about up front so remember i said it like did 57 000 the first day it's at 131k right now
but it looks cool it looks fun awesome yeah check it out up top the lightning eyes and everything
it just animated the two characters on the outside with the lightning eyes though it's
kind of funny how it just randomly picks but it's amazing they can even like like discern any kind of thing from this and make it move i mean that's that is
pretty cool awesome awesome fam uh zoni any last words yeah thank you so much guys for joining the
space i was actually looking at tricky's um animated video. I was going to comment,
but thank you guys so much for joining the space. This is what it's about. I appreciate everybody's
input and just finding ways to just connect with people. This is really what it's about. And I'm
just happy that we were able to create this space And we look forward to seeing you next week for this space, same time.
And we're growing.
We're learning.
And I'm so happy that you guys have been super patient with us.
So, yeah, I hope everybody has a great rest of the day.
It's a Friday, so don't take it too heavy.
And definitely touch some grass.
And smoke grass if, you know, if you smoke too. But definitely touch some grass and smoke grass if you know if you smoke too but
definitely touch grass so. Hell yeah I also sent you a little DM Zoni if you want the blue check
account if you're I don't know if you're monetized yet or anything probably not right um but i've helped a lot of people get monetized including irai um that first check is nice too
irai got a nice little check that first time but if you subscribe with the that wonk the blue check
i can really engage with it hard and and blow it up like for example a year ago i took over my mom's
account which had no followers it's got like 28800 followers and Gary Vee's following it.
Like, I can build your account pretty fast.
Usually, subscribing to me, you get like between 500 and 2,000 new friends, you know, within the next two months.
Yeah, you got lots of followers.
Holy cow, now.
You passed me up.
I got to pass you up again.
Yep, the race is on.
I need only, like, 90 more Blue Check accounts,
and then I get, I have 5,000 verified followers,
and then I get Blue Premium Plus for free forever.
Oh, yeah?
That's cool.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, if you get to like $2,500, you get the basic for free, and if you get to $5,000, you get the plus.
Unless they change it. I hope they don't change it. I'm almost there.
Let's go, fam. That's awesome, Tricky.
Yeah, guys, tapping into Tr in tricky he's got so much
also for you guys not following him yet please do we're getting out of here
