There was a time
I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home
I was the king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone
Now the memory's on the wall
I hear the songs
From the places where I was born
Upon a hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
There was a time
I met a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world
I thought I'd never lose your out of sight
We were just young
I think of renown but then
I still hear the songs
Reminded me I'm a friend
I found a hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry, now
Yeah
Don't you worry, don't you worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry, now
You don't worry, child
You don't worry, child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, mother
Good afternoon.
What's going on, everybody?
Thanks for getting here early.
A little bit of a slow start, but it's okay.
Everybody's got busy days on a Thursday, getting ready for the end of the week.
So, appreciate everyone being here, that is already here.
And first, we'll do some hellos around the room, drop into some market analysis, some news when Walker gets here.
And then we'll jump into some, diving into, you know, breaking the cycle and understanding what each project we have launched projects, such as Chelsea from World of Women.
We have Dave from the Victory, from Victory Point team, which is a gaming studio.
And then we also have Graham Goyles on deck, which is minting very soon.
So excited to see what's going on from, going on with the teams here and what everyone's up to and how they feel that their projects are going to essentially break this cycle.
Because, I think it needs to be broken.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for something to happen.
Holy moly.
But anyway, first, let's jump over to DJ CryptoMedic.
What's up, man?
What's shaking?
What's shaking?
What's shaking?
What's shaking, everybody?
GM to my brothers and sisters, from other mothers and misters.
I want to welcome the panel.
Thank you guys all for being here.
Everybody else in the room, thank you for coming.
October is heating up and not just the ghosts in my house.
I feel some exciting stuff coming.
Lots of really cool mints going on this weekend.
I'm just excited there is something to talk about again.
Yeah, and that was me slacking you.
That was funny.
I could hear it in the background.
That was good.
Let's go over to Dave.
Actually, you know what?
Ladies first.
Sorry, Dave.
Ladies first.
We have Chelsea Chung from the marketing team of World of Women.
How are you today, man?
Hey, hey.
I am doing quite well.
Thanks for having me.
I was grooving to the dance jams before we got started.
It reminded me of my good old Vegas days.
So thanks for bringing the energy.
Yeah, you know.
So yeah, that's me too, actually.
Vegas is always a good time.
And those are pretty popular jams, you know, at the hotel room.
You know, not the pool parties, not any of the nightclubs.
But, you know, just music you get ready to listen to before you go to dinner.
Nothing else happens in Vegas there.
But yeah, it's exciting.
Probably we'll be out in Vegas December time.
I'm excited to see the mixture of cold and warm weather.
We'll see what happens.
But yeah, let's jump over to Dave from Victory Point.
What's going on, man?
How are you doing today?
Hey, we're doing very well.
We're ending the day with a wonderful space.
Thank you guys for hosting this.
The day has been completely jam-packed from the point we woke up to now we're going to bed.
So, you know, it's been a wonderful day in the world of Web3.
And I've never been to Vegas.
But man, when the song was playing, I was imagining I was there.
I was imagining I was there.
We'll get you out there one day, man.
Once this next bull cycle hits for an F-T's, bro, we'll definitely do like one of those
Vegas and a T-Trips get you out there and make sure you have a blast, bro.
I'm really excited.
If it's not a Metatope party, it'll definitely be a Victory Point something.
You know, we'll figure it out.
If not both.
I can't see why we can't collaborate and, you know, rent out.
We don't need the Hakkasan like a Zuki.
But there's plenty of things to do out there.
And maybe it's something darn it to egg.
Who knows?
But yeah, thanks for stopping by and chilling out with us on this evening.
Let's run it over to Enzo.
Yo, how's it going, man?
I've had an amazing week, especially considering that the U.S. dollar has gained a bunch of strength
over my home currency of the Uruguay Peso.
So I feel like I got a pay raise, even though I didn't get a pay raise, just the dollars going
So it's been a good week.
I feel like I feel good.
Although I feel like the rest of my country doesn't feel so good considering they get paid
in pesos, not dollars.
So it's unfortunate for them.
But I hope that Walker has some market analysis as to why the dollar has gone up so much in
the past five to six days.
Hopefully we can hear from him.
Yeah, his request, let me get him up.
I'm going to bring him as co-host.
Let me get to the phone real quick here.
Hang tight, everybody.
All right, there we go.
So I put the other phone across the room so it doesn't echo.
And I mean, it's not like I have to walk far.
My apartment's like a hotel room.
So it just took a second, you know, I had to get over there about five steps.
Yeah.
So as Walker gets up here, we shall dive into the market analysis.
Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, round of applause, Mr. Walker Holmes himself.
Man, hold on.
Nobody's saying anything yet.
Oh, there he is.
All right.
That is amazing.
And Enzo, you know, I heard you asking about the dollar.
And I think that, you know, the dollar is truly, you know, the ultimate of all hedges, right?
When people are going risk off, you know, where are they going?
They're going into the dollar.
They're going into gold.
But, you know, mostly the dollar and bonds.
And I think with all of the, you know, geopolitical uncertainty, you know, the absolutely terrible
events that we see unfolding globally has a lot to do, you know, with people repositioning
into the dollar.
You know, you know, we had the labor statistics come in, you know, last week, much higher than
expected.
The CPI data came in, you know, year over year, core inflation looked okay.
But a lot of the inflation readings were much hotter than expected.
And so you kind of have this, you know, this just this constant balancing effect that's
going on.
And really, nobody knows exactly what to do right now.
You know, people are really just predicting into the future, trying to figure out, you know,
what the Federal Reserve is going to do.
Are they really going to rate, you know, continue to keep rates this high?
I mean, we have 30 year mortgages, you know, approaching 8 percent, which is, you know, crazy
to think about, you know, how recently we were we were near zero interest rate environments.
You know, and then coming over to crypto, we have the SPF, you know, saga just unfolding
and, you know, all of this admitted collusion around them selling customer funds.
Probably, you know, people here had funds on FTX and they were literally taking customers
funds and selling that on the spot market to keep the price down.
And, you know, there's we've just got to kind of wait and see here.
You know, I think that these are incredible times to buy in for certain assets.
Right.
But I mean, if you look at Bitcoin on a cycle basis and, you know, you look at where we're
at in this halving cycle, we are right on track.
And, you know, with the potential upcoming spot ETF, I think we've got some really beautiful
days ahead.
OK, cool.
So did that answer your question, Enzo, while you're making more money now?
Yeah, it got it got answered.
I it went up two and a half percent.
So I was kind of curious.
And I knew that Walker would hopefully give an analysis this week as to what's going on.
So, yeah, that answered why.
Thank you for that.
Sweet.
That's awesome.
Bringing some people on stage from these parties here.
But we did have Misty jump up.
How are you feeling, Misty?
Wanted to bring you up here and just get some updates from you and see see what's going on.
Hello.
Hello.
Thank you for having me.
How's everybody doing today?
It's good to see you all up here in the Tope Talk.
I really appreciate the invite.
I don't really have any updates right now.
I'm cooking.
So I'll have updates on the next one.
Well, it's good to hear your voice.
That means you're alive.
So that's that's the most important thing.
We'll get you on the next update.
We'll know what's what's going on.
I'm really excited to hear more.
But, yeah, let's let's jump into some current news in the space.
Oh, my God, guys, if you haven't been taking a look, there's obviously some FTX stuff.
We'll jump into that in a second.
But we did have our favorite, favorite TV guy.
I mean, he obviously knows everything.
He's a genius.
Whatever he says is true.
We never you know, we never fade him.
There's not there's no such thing as a fade Jim Cramer cult or anything like that.
But, yeah, no, Jim Cramer says that Mr.
Bitcoin is going down big and tells all his, you know, his audience to buy gold.
So everyone here should be carrying their gold around with them in their backpack, on their waistband, on their pinky toes.
Make sure that you're not buying anything else except for gold.
According to Jim Cramer, who here who here in the audience?
Anyone on stage here walking around with a bunch of gold?
You know, maybe like an ankle bracelet or something.
Good, Chris.
Oh, man, I meant to, like, put a thumbs up.
But, yeah, I've always carried gold.
One, because I like to wear it.
And two, you know, instead of having it, like, in, like, chips or, like, little pieces, like, you could just rock your investment.
Yeah, you got one of those, like, giant gold breastplates in, like, a Roman war, right?
I wish that was the case, man.
I didn't get it when it was that cheap.
But...
I got it, man.
Real quick, we have Chris up here from the Graham Goyles team.
Thanks for joining us, man.
You want to give a quick introduction about yourself?
Sure.
So my name's Chris Ersto.
I'm from Florida.
I was born in Miami, raised in Fort Lauderdale, currently in Sebastian, fully doxed, and I'm part of the Graham Goyles core team.
So, you know, basically, I got into crypto, you know, if you're asking me about myself, got into crypto right around the pandemic.
I was actually at a restaurant, and I heard a couple talking, and, you know, I don't know what language they were speaking,
but they kept saying XRP, XRP, so, you know, I went ahead and Googled it right when I was there,
because I was like, I'm not going to remember that tomorrow.
I'm going to miss a letter or something like that, and then started seeing all these YouTube videos,
and it started making me go nuts.
You know, so that's kind of what got me into it, and then I got into node season, you know, lost money,
but gained some on some.
What can you do?
But other than that, you know, just found a newfound love for NFTs.
You know, I was mainly on the DeFi side for quite some time, and I'll tell you, you know,
when you look up, like, about NFTs, you know, when I did, you know, at least I was able to find some good resources and good things.
Like, there was nothing but bad things that you would see, like, you know, $250,000 for a monkey with sunglasses on.
If you try to go ahead and sell it, you couldn't even get nearly that amount of money back, that they had no utility.
You know, there was like, you know, it was all bad write-ups on it.
And so then I decided, well, if I was on the DeFi side and working on the DeFi side, I want to go ahead and get on the NFTs side and learn more and, you know, dive deeper.
So, you know, literally, you know, depending on, you know, obviously the, you know, the company, you know, or the brand, you know, that's, it's a piece of artwork.
It's just drawn digitally, you know, someone took the time out of their day, you know, to create something very unique and digital, you know, that can carry, you know, bounties and traits and fun.
And, you know, it could do a lot of different things, really, whatever you want it to do.
And so I really learned the value of that.
So, you know, when I got into, you know, Web3 and everything, you know, I have a marketing and sales background for a long time, like over 20 years now, I'm getting old.
Um, and, um, you know, I went with the Grum Ghouls, um, you know, so, you know, they've been around in the space for over a year or so.
Um, you know, Nari Epdao, um, you know, uh, going with them as well.
Um, and then they're partners with each other.
So that worked out very well because they're both really good, um, people.
Um, but yeah, as being, you know, a core member, um, you know, I, I learned a lot, saw a lot of things.
Um, you know, and I'm just glad to be a part of something that involves all the fun elements of the things I enjoy, whether it's Star Wars, Marvel, DC, you know, um, wrestlers, you know, 90s themed, um, you know, characters.
You know, the feel of a gremlins movie and a gargoyle, you know, clash together.
And there's my PFP and Jays down there and just those psychos, um, you know, and then the, uh, the emblem, how far it came from when I first heard of their, um, you know, their company versus what it looks like now.
It's just like, it literally is night and day, um, you know, so, you know, it's exciting to see progression, um, you know, uh, especially when it comes to, um, you know, companies because, and I say companies because, you know, we are a company, um, and a brand.
So, um, and, and I like to refer people, you know, that way because, um, you know, that, that's realistically where we need to be or should be or heading to, um, you know, because we have to operate the same way.
We can't just treat people like, you know, like nonsense or we'll scare them out of the space.
So, I mean, in a nutshell, I mean, that's me.
I like to have fun.
I'm monotone.
So I always sound like I'm angry, but I'm actually really laid back.
Um, uh, so I'm not mad at all.
I sound the same.
My voice just goes up or down.
Um, but, um, you know, I'm looking forward to the mint this weekend.
It's been a grind of four months, um, you know, with, uh, Jay and Pinky and Jeremy.
Um, and so the real fun begins as the, uh, next stage opens and, you know, people will start posting their Grimm goals.
All over the place.
And it's, it's basically starting all over again from, you know, day one when that mint opens, because now it's time, you know, for people to start showing them off and, and getting them out to new people besides, you know, our foundation.
Cool, man.
I appreciate that intro to yourself a little bit about Grimm goals.
And I, you know what, I guess like, cause we do have a bunch of guests here.
Let's, I was going to go into this FTX stuff, but I, you know what, I don't want to bring anybody down.
That, that stuff is just absolutely out of its head.
If you, if you haven't taken a look, like definitely keep yourself just known on what's going on with the trial.
Um, you know, the Alameda stuff today was absolutely absurd and it's crazy to think that that was what's happening behind the scenes over there.
But, uh, I, you know, I want to ask, uh, Chelsea a question.
I had a question for her, but I kind of wanted to follow up with what, uh, Chris was saying here.
And I guess like my first question was Chelsea, um, were, were you, uh, on the team when the, like, when you guys minted, uh, World of Women?
No, I am a new addition to World of Women.
Um, I've been on the team just over a month, um, but I've been a holder since 2022, uh, deeply involved with the community, have, you know, kind of traveled to lots of events and, um, just, you know, continue to develop relationships with the community and team.
Um, was part of a group of, uh, community members called the World of Women Warriors, which is, uh, kind of like a community, uh, advisory panel of sorts, uh, to the team, played an active role in that, and then got brought on more officially.
So, new team, but long history with World of Women, but unfortunately not since mint day.
I, I wish I would have been.
Oh, that's cool.
And, you know, I love your, I love the background on your PFP, the, the spooky season.
It's so cool.
That's perfect for, uh, this, this month.
Um, so I guess I'll ask you my other question regarding like, you know, because I guess my question with that would have been like, you know, the stress and stuff, like how did you guys handle that?
But I guess I want to go to, um, you know, being with World of Women and being newer in this ecosystem on the marketing side, you know, what kind of initiatives do you, do you bring to the table in the sense that, uh, empower women creators and artists?
Well, I'm going to, I'm going to pause and, uh, actually go back to the first thing that you wanted to ask because I have been in the NFT space for a while and I have worked on other projects.
I have gone through mints, um, and it is, so I, I can speak on that, uh, not with World of Women, but it is extremely stressful.
Uh, there is so much that goes on behind the scenes.
So I also just wanted to give, uh, Chris a shout out and, you know, uh, give you some extra love and, uh, fist bumps for launch for Mint Day because I know the grind that it takes leading up to that and the coordination and, you know,
all of the details from the artwork to the list to the communications and, uh, the contract.
I mean, it's just, there's so much that goes into it, uh, that, you know, we can kind of forget about in this space.
So huge shout out to the team over there who's, uh, heading into, heading, heading into Mint Day.
Do you want me to move on to the next question?
Sure. Yeah, no, I think it's still, it's great.
I'd love to learn more, you know, because I think World of Women is an absolute fantastic brand and, you know, breaking the cycle, I think with Women Empowerment, I'd love to hear what you guys are, uh, into on that side.
Yeah.
Um, so the, all the cycle, all the bear market, right?
I think it's, um, honestly, I think it's, it's a welcome time to be able to slow down and, um, do a lot of evaluation, be a lot more strategic.
Um, you know, I think when, when times are good and money is flowing and people are just hyped about the space overall, um, you can kind of get away with doing a lot more things that maybe aren't, you know, even the best strategic calls in the long run, right?
And so this period of time has really forced us to, uh, to hunker down on that and to reevaluate the company, everything that we're doing, um, in terms of empowering women.
And it's absolutely, you know, it's absolutely a part of World of Women.
I mean, it's in our name, World of Women.
Um, but WOW is so much more than just a community of, of women, right?
And, and in terms of that, in terms of that evaluation and what we're doing in the bear, we are in the process right now of, of redefining kind of our strategic positioning.
And, um, women will always be at the forefront because it is our mission to build an inclusive future.
And, you know, we are here to make sure that, that everyone has the ability to participate in building whatever is next.
Uh, so I can, I can tease a little bit of kind of what our refined messaging is and positioning as, as a company, you know, we're, we're leaning really heavy into, um, into the idea of a lifestyle club, um, because what we've noticed throughout World of Women in the last few years is that the community is, is just what makes it like so incredibly special, right?
And we, we, we did over a hundred interviews asking holders, you know, what do you love about WOW?
Why, like, why are you here?
What makes it special to you?
And time and time and time again, people said it's the network, it's the people in it.
Um, and I get so much value out of, you know, just, just growing that network.
So, um, we're making a lot of strategic moves to lean into that even further.
Uh, we just launched a product called Patio.
It is our digital membership hub for all of our members to connect.
And, uh, to share a little bit about themselves, you know, however, however they, much they want to, um, showcase their collection.
And, uh, we have a public roadmap.
So, like, really anyone in Web3 can actually contribute to our public roadmap.
Uh, but the idea is that this product is kind of our digital clubhouse and will really be, like, the key place where we, um, enable and facilitate those connections as well as deliver kind of the broader benefits of membership.
Um, women, again, are, are part of that because, again, we, we want, you know, we want that space to be inclusive.
Um, something I've kind of been saying on the team is, like, it's not just enough to invite people to the table.
We actually have to, like, inspire them to make friends at the table and want to stay and actually build the table.
Um, so that's kind of the evolution of, of kind of our, our, our value prop, our mission.
It's like, yes, we want people to be included.
We want women to join us, but we want to do more than that, right?
We actually want to empower them to be at the forefront of art tech and culture.
So, that's a little preview of, kind of, some shifts we got going on.
I love it.
And if anybody has any questions, like, that they want to ask a specific person as we go through the audience here, uh, please raise your hand.
You know, where everybody can ask them.
Just, I usually put together a few questions before space, but it's not limited to that.
Um, but no, I really appreciate that answer.
And I think that's fantastic information.
And, you know, it's, it's important to make women feel not only empowered, but more comfortable in this, uh, you know, I'd say male dominated, but, you know, a lot of these guys aren't that smart.
We know that.
Oh, my God.
Half of these collections that, uh, I've seen launched by some of these people have just, it's like, uh, you know, the whole pump and dump scheme and, and NFTs is a little scarier than it is with, like, coins.
Because, like, a lot of founders of NFT projects are doxxed, or they're very easy to get to, or, you know, they're, it's all about that community driven atmosphere when it comes to art.
So it's sad to see a lot of what's happened in the space, but, you know, we have to kind of wiggle out the bads to make room for the goods.
And I think that, uh, World of Women is here to stay.
So thank you for, uh, being here and hanging out with us.
Um, I do want to direct the question over to, uh, Victory Point with Dave.
You know, this is a, a gaming studio that absolutely is creating a masterpiece when it comes to, uh, these, you know, Call of Duty style, but Web3 version.
And, you know, I, I do have a question for you, Dave, and hopefully it doesn't, you know, I didn't, I didn't, by the way, I don't ask any, or give questions before I asked anybody.
So I just, uh, I just want to dive right in with you on this, but, uh, I guess, you know, I guess my question to you is how is, uh, Victory Point going to, like, disrupt the traditional norm?
I mean, we know that Web3 Gaming, a lot of people in the gaming industry are, you know, they're, they're not very, uh, educated on the NFTs.
They, and for the most part, gaming in general has been very, uh, you know, not very accepted.
They're not accepting NFTs or don't, don't understand, like, the true use case and think, and don't think that it's actually helping the games.
So, you know, what, what my question is, how do you guys plan to disrupt that?
And what's going to make people play your game?
At the end of the day, I truly do hope that it is because that Victory Point is a fun game.
Uh, of course, we all know and love, uh, CSGO.
We all know and love Call of Duty.
Uh, the, the founder of the CEO of Victory Point, Julio Costa.
He's, uh, actually a gamer at heart, and he's always, he grew up on League of Legends and CSGO.
So, myself, I was pretty much always addicted and glued to Call of Duty, and, uh, hopefully at the end of the day, people are going to be coming back and, uh, playing this game because it is fun.
Uh, we have a lot of unique game modes that we are bringing to the table when it comes to, uh, a first-person shooter.
Game modes that have never been seen before, and game modes that I believe content creators will absolutely die for.
Uh, because that's what we're trying to focus our gameplay on is how can we better, um, how can we better supply content creators with content that can be pushed out there to their audience so their audience can be interested in gaming, can be interested in what we are building.
Uh, and, uh, hopefully that will be a great way to onboard the Web2 community.
Uh, I always love to say that, uh, Web3 gaming is going to be one of the, uh, major catalysts in onboarding the Web2 world to Web3.
Um, and hopefully, like I said, once again, that it's going to be because they love the gameplay.
Um, and, um, what we like to do is we, we don't like to push any of the Web3 aspects.
Uh, we don't like to talk about NFTs.
We don't like to talk about crypto.
It is there, but for stage one, it's all focused towards targeting that Web2 audience.
We're going to, we have a three-stage plan that's going to slowly transition the game, the product to the Web3 universe.
Um, but hopefully that transition is not going to be observable by the gamer, meaning they're going to be so far deep into the world of Web3 and not even know it.
And, uh, through our way of educating the users through loading screens, uh, in between matches or going between menus, when you see that loading screen, there's going to be educational pieces saying,
Hey, did you know this digital asset was actually an NFT? And we'll kind of explain what an NFT is.
And, uh, you know, like I said, those gamers, they're going to be playing victory point for victory point and, uh, learning a little bit more about the Web3 world and hopefully staying, uh, with us because they enjoy the game.
They enjoy the content and they're slowly getting to know and love, uh, the world of Web3 like we do.
Yeah. And I think it's important that you also said that, you know, Julia, Julia is a, uh, gamer before a builder.
And I think one of the biggest, you know, issues with that first, you know, round of what NFT gaming or crypto gaming brought to it was businessmen and businessmen that didn't understand gaming.
They just see, they just see numbers and they see ways that, Oh, I can build a game and I can do this with that, but they don't even understand what a gamer wants.
And, uh, we, we witnessed that. And that was, I think what really made the gamers out there pretty pissed off was that like, they just not like, just cause you're a gamer doesn't mean you're stupid.
Right. So it's like, it doesn't mean that you, you don't know business too, but man, like a lot of that stuff that came out started, it started pretty strong and then it completely backfired because it was all business driven.
And it, there was no actual, like nothing that an NFT brought to the game made it more fun. So I'm excited to see what Victory Point does to do that. And go ahead, Dave.
Yeah. And I want to say that a lot of that, um, the negative aspects of the, the early stages of Web3 gaming, uh, a lot of it came down to the tokenomics and token metrics. A lot of that did not make sense long-term.
A lot of that made sense to fill people's pockets short-term, but, uh, what we're trying to do over here at Victory Point is having a, a sustainable economy, an economy that's going to be around for many years to come and hopefully supply and support many games to come.
Uh, that's something that a lot of these early adopters, um, of Web3 technology into the world of video games really didn't care about.
Uh, at least that's what it seems like they didn't care about, but, uh, it's, it's something that we truly do care about.
We want this game to be around for a long time and, uh, you can't have a Web3 game, uh, without a sustainable Web3 economy.
So we're trying to tackle both sides. And, uh, of course, at the end of the day, who really matters is not our pockets, but, uh, the gamers.
Perfect, man. Perfect. I appreciate that. Uh, Walker, you have anything on your end you want to ask?
Yeah, you know, I've got the chance to see, um, a little bit from Victory Point. I think they're doing an amazing job and, you know, I, I think a lot of the motivation that we've seen behind the creation of these Web3 games, you know, kind of like Chris is saying is, is just really been economically driven.
And, you know, a lot of the builders, I don't think have had the incentive to put the, the time and the energy, um, and the grueling hours that it takes to build, you know, like a, a truly like graphically pleasing game.
And, you know, just like the expectations of gamers has, has grown so exponentially over the last 10 years, it's, it's pretty hard to believe.
And, you know, as we continue to transition into that space, into, to the metaverse, right? That's, that's really what we believe is, is that the metaverse is a culmination of all these different digital interactions that we're having.
You know, whether that is social media or Zoom or, you know, even, even Twitter in a sense, right? And, and, and as we, we mold into that, I think that there's such an incredible opportunity for these NFT brands to really embrace that, that 3D evolution and, and truly become some of the staples of, of what may soon be, you know, some of the most used environments, um, in the digital world.
And, and, and I think that's where we, we have such an incredible opportunity, uh, to, to position this space to, to be a, to be a really big part, um, of, of the next step towards the metaverse.
So super excited. We've got some incredible people here today. Um, thank you. Thank you all for being here.
Sure, man. Thanks for adding that. Uh, go ahead, Chris.
Hey, so I have a question. So, I mean, I looked at it too, and I mean, it looks awesome.
So, I mean, great work. I know that can't be easy. I actually, uh, have seen other projects out there and, and, uh, companies that, you know, are doing something similar. Right. And, um, you know, it, what do you, what do you plan on doing with it? Um, you know, differently, um, you know, because I don't think they did very well.
And, and, and I'm not comparing your game to theirs because it's not the same. It's a similar concept, obviously, based on the way it looked, um, you know, like what, what's the strategy behind it? Are you going to do like play to earn? Are you just going, you know, like, what do you, where are you going to go with it first?
Yeah. So first off, uh, I believe a lot of what we've seen from the first person shooter world still was kind of, things weren't really well thought out. And a lot of these projects, a lot of these games release their, their tokens first.
And, um, of course their vesting schedules are not set up correctly. They're set up, um, to, you know, fill the pockets of those who, who invested and do nothing more. And it ends up dumping on the community. What we're doing is we're focusing on the game. We're focusing on the gamer and the gameplay. And we want this to really, truly be a solid game. Uh, like I said, each and every one of our team members, they, they are gamers. Uh, we're passionate about this and we're working all out of pocket.
Um, we don't have many investors. Um, and, uh, I believe we've been able to achieve so much more than what these previous examples were able to do with millions of dollars. We're working with table scraps over here and we're, we're, we're hopefully going to be spinning gold, uh, momentarily, but, um, we want to focus on the web three community. We want to focus on creating fun, um, uh, tournaments amongst communities. I think that's one of the most important things that these,
uh, PFP projects have, this is their most valuable asset is their community. And, um, we want to leverage that. We want to hold onto that because there's, there's so much value there. Uh, there's so much love and connection in the web three world, but we're really divided by our projects. And we want this project victory point to be a platform for all different web three projects from all different corners of the web three universe, to be able to come, to connect, to make memories.
memories and, um, you know, add extra value to their own, um, their own projects. And, uh, the hope, the goal is to be able to use these PFPs, these assets, um, that don't have much utility and give them that utility, allow them to use them as in game characters, allow them to use their PFP pictures, um, to token gate clans within our game. Um, there's so many wonderful ideas that our team has had.
And, uh, I'm not saying we'll be successful, but we're going to try our darn best to be successful because at the end of the day, this is a passion project. This has come from the heart and soul of our team members.
And, uh, we're, we're definitely not giving up anytime soon. Um, but yeah, hopefully that answers a little bit of your question. There's, there's so much more to the story.
Yeah, I'm, I'm sure. Like I said, I mean, I'm not trying to down you all, man. I'm trying to pump you up. So I know I sound monotone and everything, but there was a project called Warfy that came out that had a game, um, that was, uh, you know, first person shooter, um, third person shooter.
And they pegged it to a token and it was playable. So you put a dollar in, um, and then you get 50 cents per kill. And I mean, it, the graphics weren't as good as what you had. Um, it was web GL based, um, because a lot of people didn't want to download something cause they were afraid of malware and whatnot.
Um, and so like the, the thing was, is that they, you know, they just couldn't find enough people to, to play the game. So, um, you know, like you said, like if you focus on the community and, you know, what the people want out of the game and everything like that, um, that's huge right there.
Because I think that's going to, you know, help you out with your success because, you know, you're tokenizing something, um, and getting people to go play it and then charging a fortune for a skin.
Like if you want to put like your character from your project in the game, you know, to go run around and shooting.
And it just, it was, it's a great idea and a great concept, but I'm sure you guys, you know, have put your minds to it much further than they did, you know, to make it into something where, uh, you know, you have people playing tournaments of hundreds and, you know, plus at a time versus you can't even get like six people in there.
Yeah. Uh, the web three world is, is very small and, uh, we are going to rely heavily on the adoption, uh, more people transitioning and coming over from the web two worlds.
Um, but yeah, right now we're focusing on making our connections. Uh, we got a lot of wonderful things lined up. We got a lot of big, big people, um, who are, who are looking forward to backing us, to supporting us.
And, um, at the end of the day, I, I never played any of these games that you spoke of, but I did, you know, I, I do know of a few that were out there, um, but the ability to earn assets.
Freely having a grind or having any experience where they can unlock assets, NFTs, own those NFTs and, uh, provide and, you know, determine their own value.
You know, I spent 50 hours to unlock this NFT through the free way of grinding the game. I unlock this gun, this gun skin and this weapon attachments. How much do I value myself?
We have a lot of focus on our in-game economy and, uh, a lot has been thought about. Um, you know, we want to bring the power to the gamers and we want to give the gamers opportunity to earn assets without having put down money.
Uh, you know, I, we, we, we, we like to think of our game as, um, something where you don't need money to start playing and start earning.
You can unlock assets through our free, um, progression system. And again, you can determine your own value based off of, I don't know, how much you appreciate yourself or think of yourself.
How much is 50 hours of your time worth to you? You can put that, you know, that price tag on your weapon or weapon skin. Um, but I did, I feel like I've spoken too much, but, uh, all the love, man.
Thank you for the questions.
Yeah. Let's let, uh, medic ask one more and then we'll move to, uh, when I want to say hi to Richard real quick. Um, he just joined in the space a little late and then, uh, I have a few more things to go over.
Yeah, man. I just, I just want to comment. I mean, I love victory point. I love what they're doing. It's, it's super interesting to me that this is just the digital iteration of like paintball with your buddies. That's kind of the way I see it.
Like I used to get together with a bunch of friends and we would play against other teams. And, you know, I think that's really turned into what happens, right. In a lot of these gaming environments, you become friends with other people, you team up and then you go shoot other people together. Right. But to, to try to bring that into a new iteration, I love what they're doing. Right. To make it more than a game to give, you know, more to not just what you're doing and spending your time, but to make it a reason to be there. Right.
As opposed to just a past time, I guess. And the more that we bring those kinds of ideas to web three, the more that web three is going to be successful.
Hell yeah, man. Sounds good. But no, thanks, Dave. You were in the hot seat there for a second. That was fun. Uh, Richard, man, what's going on, bro? Good meeting today with you and, uh, with you and Max, really excited for the, uh, rival bears. Um, go ahead and just give an intro about yourself.
For those that don't know you and I'll get you a question for the bears.
Oh man, I got to be on the hot seat. I just want to have a conversation.
No, Dave was in the hot seat. Now you're just, I'm just, uh, no, it's all right, man. Uh, it's good to be with the METO fam. How's everyone doing? Um, yeah, yeah.
Just a little bit about myself, which is me, our junior crypto junior, um, as, as I was once called when I first jumped into web three.
Um, um, anyway, but yeah, just, uh, man, uh, I don't know what to say. I do a lot of different things. Um, have a software background currently, um, on the rival bears team, web three wise.
And really where I'm helping them out there is on the strategy and overall just like execution, which is to me coming from my corporate web two world as, as a like software background, um, did a little bit of coding.
Um, and then sort of move more into the technical sales and more sales marketing side. So brought that over to web three and have sort of, uh, helped out different projects, different things, just bring that, I guess, uh, experience to a more, I think where web three is trying to go business, um, ran, ran system or projects because we're, we're, we're, we're realizing royalties aren't exactly, um, the best way to sustain.
A project, right. Especially with it becoming optional nowadays. So, um, yeah, just, just, uh, try to, try to bring more of a web two background, um, to the web three world, but also bring the, the obvious benefits of it, which is, um, as we know, the transparency, the, the ease of use, the no middle man, um, parts of it.
So yeah. About rival bears itself. Um, I mean, honestly, Max will probably be here in a little bit. Um, I, so, so I, I, like, I feel like we talk so much about projects and different things in that.
And I think one thing that I appreciated about when I, um, met Max and got to know more about the project and, um, his vision for it was when I said, what's like, I forget the specific question, but it was like, what's the utility?
He said, you know what, man, I just want it to be fun. And I was like, wait, what? Um, and, and, and yeah, there are other things that, that, you know, the project is building currently has delivered is about to be putting out.
And I'll let Max do all that. Cause he's the best at it. Um, but the fact that he started out with fun and I guess like the why of the project just, and he'll probably share his story on how he got into NFTs, but that was really the reason behind it.
Just when trying to bring back that bull run fun into NFTs where it's like not all negative, kind of like, kind of like the title of this, of this, uh, space breaking the cycle, right.
You know, trying to like break the cycle of this bearish movement. And even though, yes, we're the rival bears, the irony behind it, but bringing back the fun of it.
So I was like, dude, I appreciate that because we didn't really go into utility utility, which yeah, I believe is very important.
But I think, you know, as we know in business and just life, it's just the little things. You can't forget about the little things.
And I think if we focus on some of those little things, uh, it actually may turn out pretty well, but I definitely overcomplicate things all the time.
So I'm, I'm, that's a reminder for myself too, man. I appreciate it. Um, that's awesome, man. Love what you guys are doing.
The art's sick, the, uh, the vision of max and, and you guys have a, you know, I'd like it Walker and I had an hour meeting with them today and got to dive into some more of the deeper stuff in their collection.
And they're, they're doing the right thing. They've got a really good vision and a really good, uh, direction that they put in place.
So excited to see, uh,
Oh yeah. If he doesn't make it here, if he doesn't make it here in time, cause he is in the IRL meeting.
Oh, don't get me started. I can, I can go on. I see rad dad in here.
I can blabber on about the roadmap because it is kind of cool, but I'm like, hold back, Richard hold back.
Well, I have a question for everybody. So I think we'll go hands up here and I'd love to know about either, you know, yourself, your collection, or, you know, what you can figure out how to answer this question, question however you want.
But I guess, you know, if you want to go hands up here, how are, how are you, or how is your collection or your project? Uh, how do you address the criticism in the NFT world that everything we're doing is literally like a speculative bubble?
Bro, just be honest. Um, that's, that's, that's my thing. Cause at the end of the day, it is, it is at times like, but guess what? A lot of other things in life are too.
Like stocks are speculative, everything. Like, it's like, what exactly are we trying to fight here? Um, so if we just like straight up be honest with ourselves and with everything else and call it, it is, but then, Hey, check people with their thoughts and mindset, you know, they'll be like, Whoa, I never thought about that, man.
Cause most people just come at like defensive, but I think, yeah, I think just like literally sit down, be honest, um, about it. It's not perfect, but neither is anything else. And Hey, let me educate you on why I'm a true believer in this. These are real tangible reasons, you know, it's like, so I, I think that's the, that's the best way to do it.
At least that's how like we, and then I think that's why our community is so cool because like, it was such a open-minded crowd. Like we've had, we've run different, different spaces from like fitness to just hanging out to like an AMA and, and everyone's just chill.
And I get to meet so many different people. And I've been looking at Max. I'm like, yo, how did you find all these, like, just chill acts people that are just strong believers in the project that, that just like, even though there's delays and this and that, um, we still deliver. And people are just like, yeah, we know he's going to deliver just, you know, hanging out, enjoying, enjoying life, checking in.
But wait till you see Max, cause the amount of activity that's in, that he puts out. I wonder if he has a clone, honestly, but I think, I think people will just really see that activity and like a young believer or just a young go-getter. Um, it's, it's, you just kind of feed off of it. So honestly, I think it's just a little bit of everything.
Cool. No, that's all good, man. I appreciate it, Richard. Let's go over to Dave.
Yeah. I, I, I like to think back and reflect upon, you know, history, you know, uh, those who are building the first automobiles and while the world was screaming at them, that those things are death traps, that those will never catch on, that the horse and buggy is here to stay and live and thrive. Um, they kept their heads down. They kept on building those who are early to the internet. They were saying that was a bubble. They were saying that would never catch on, uh, those who succeeded.
And those who are here today, uh, those who fully took on and adopted the internet, those were the people who kept their heads down and kept on building. We're looking at this day and age. We're transitioning from combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles, which I genuinely believe is the future. Um, what does Elon Musk have done? He's taken a lot of hate. He's taken a lot of criticism.
He's taken a lot of criticism. Everyone tells him he's doing the wrong thing, but he knows what he knows. He continues to build. He puts his head down. And, uh, that's what I, I hope everyone here is doing. Uh, of course we should listen to what the, the naysayers are saying. We should, you know, try and understand the things that, uh, they see as limiting factors of the world of web three.
Uh, but we should continue building, uh, should keep on pushing, should keep on investing our time and energy into what we believe will be the future.
And, uh, I can't tell you that the world of web three is going to catch on. I can't tell you and promise you that it will be here forever, but, uh, I can tell you that the technology is here.
It is super, super early. And a lot of the thoughts and creative ideas around the world of web three have still not been thought of. There's so much more to come. And I believe that web three is here to stay. And that's why victory point is here. That's why we're building. That's why we're pushing forward is, um, we, because we continue to keep our head down despite, um, everything that may be said around us. Um, but that's, that's my.
I appreciate that. Uh, let's run over to Walker.
Yeah, I think those are all, you know, those are all great points and innovation is in many times met with resistance.
You know, people, people don't like change. And, you know, when you, when someone asks you or, you know, ask our industry, you know, what are you doing?
And NFTs have no value. I think that, you know, the way that I view the world and the way that I see, um, you know, innovation and technology continue to expand, I really strongly believe that the world that we're going to live in in the next five to 10 years is going to be much, much more digital.
And, and, and, you know, like if you see, so I'm going to age myself here, but, you know, I grew up with dial up internet and if you think about how rapidly that, you know, innovation has happened, um, in the last 20 years and how ingrained, uh, this, this digital world is in our lives, it's, it's, it's pretty incredible.
Incredible. And, and to go back 20 years and to think that digital assets would have real world value was like so insane.
I think even, you know, some of the, of the, the, the most innovative people would have had a hard time, you know, believing that like that these in-game assets and, you know, fast forward and we see Fortnite, you know, doing billions and billions of dollars of in-game sales for non-skill-based upgrades.
And so what that shows is that 100%, like the value of digital assets has expanded so much.
Um, and I believe that's going to continue to happen and NFTs are the technology that facilitate digital property rights, right?
Like that, that is now possible.
And, and that to me is one of the core value propositions, you know, of this space.
Um, and, and, and, you know, it's not just in-game assets, but, you know, it can be KYC or just personal information, but being able to verify if we own it, um, and transact it securely is, is a really great, great innovation for, for our world.
All right.
All right.
Just first of all, we need to clear the, clear the air there.
Uh, you're, you're not that old.
Um, you just lived in Alabama, so that's why you had dial-up internet.
Let's, let's not.
Hey, now, hey, now, hold up now, hold up.
Absolutely not.
First of all, Walker, I think you're actually close in age with, with myself.
And I also live in Alabama and I'll have you know, okay, that we are very technologically savvy down here.
Thank you very much.
We're, we're not, but I'll love to stick to my point.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, Chris.
I think someone had their hand up before I did.
Uh, just brought Nara up, but, but yeah, we can, we can go to Nara if you want.
What's going on, Nara?
Hey, what's going on, everybody?
I just wanted to come up and, uh, give my love to, uh, all of, uh, you on the, uh, space,
Metatope.
I've, uh, definitely, you guys are just mind-blowing on the stuff that you're doing.
So I am very excited for what's, uh, what you guys have, uh, coming and bringing and what
you're doing with IP and providing an additional area to exercise IP, because that's how blockchain
technology is going to be continuing is through the storytelling and through the ability to
exercise IP through various ways, both digitally, uh, as well as that, uh, transition over into
physical goods and exercising it through merchandise, through, uh, product branding,
consumables, those types of things.
Like that is where that is the future because branding is what people resonate with.
They resonate with the story behind it.
And, uh, what I've seen from all of just these legends up on stage and that, that you guys
are living, that it's part of your persona, uh, and it's part of what you're bringing into
the space, which is your, uh, just knowledge and energy and the focus on the story.
It all comes back to stories and I am, uh, just a huge proponent in that because we tell
ourselves stories about what happened today, uh, what's going to happen tomorrow, how this
person talked to me, like how I feel it's, it's, it's all a story and it comes back to
that original form of human entertainment, which is storytelling.
So we focus on storytelling.
We focus on creating an amazing experience, uh, and providing the ability for them, for
humans to express their creativity through art, whatever that medium happens to be.
We all want to be creative.
And that's, that's, that's human.
Like I keep, I've said it a bunch of times, but yes, kiddo.
I know.
I know.
Uh, yeah.
Oh, you were hiding.
That's right.
I should have come and gotten.
Yeah.
All right.
Sorry.
That's my, well, not sorry.
That's my, uh, four year old daughter being a four year old daughter.
So, uh, yeah.
So, um, just the power of storytelling that is brands.
Uh, look at all of the successful brands.
Just look at, it's about the story.
You look at any product that you have on the shelf and you can go and look and see, oh,
we're all our founder.
And this is what we did.
And here's our background.
And it's, it's about the story.
So thinking about developing the story further, um, making sure that you're, you're thinking
through on from a branding of all of those things that are going to help that audience
resonate with you.
So, um, shameless self-promotion, uh, NARS Fucked Out.
That's what we do.
Uh, much love, uh, to all of you in the audience for all of your support.
Uh, love it.
We got a Polygon Mint happening tomorrow.
So, uh, we'd love to see you all there.
Um, and, uh, yeah.
Follow Metatope if you, everyone listening to this, they are changing the fucking game.
And I am so fucking excited.
We love you, NARS.
That was a great story, bro.
Yeah, that was awesome, bro.
Appreciate it, man.
Thanks for coming and hanging with us.
It's always good to see Misty here as well over at ASL.
Really excited for both of, not, I mean, everyone on stage here.
I mean, we, it's really cool to see existing projects such as World of Women, even though
Chelsea's only been there a month.
She's been collecting for a long time.
She's, I would say Chelsea's a D-Gen.
You know, she can say herself, but I would definitely say she's a D-Gen.
Um, and, you know, having insight from veterans all the way to new founders in the space is
so freaking cool because I'm so excited to see what happens.
You guys are about to go into it and Metatope is soon as well.
And, uh, we're going to be watching every, every step you guys make so we can, uh, we can
make sure that we take all the good stuff that you guys do and implement into strategies to
help ourselves.
And it's, and I think that as we do, we're going to, we're all going to work off each
other to make sure that we all succeed.
Um, you know, feel whatever, whenever you guys are doing this, I know, I know crypto
medical, we'll make sure that we're all aware of when your mint is.
So whoever's, uh, whoever wants to can pick up some of your, some of your guys' mints and
stuff.
But as we, uh, kind of wind down the space here, I'm going to let Misty speak.
And then, uh, I want to ask some closing thoughts for everybody and, uh, yeah, we'll go from
there.
What's up, Misty?
I just wanted to say that when I launched my Walker defense system earlier,
I noticed a little awkward silence.
Guys, I'm just playing.
Please don't take me too seriously.
I, um, I'm a big joker and I'm a big gamer and everything that I'm building and working
on over here at Ape Starline is very relevant to everything that you guys are saying.
I just don't want to give too much information at the moment and just, just know that I'm
a fun person and that I really enjoy being invited to these spaces and being amongst like-minded
people that have this, you know, tech vision of where it is that we want to take web
three and gaming and, and crypto and all of these things into the future.
And I really respect a lot of you guys.
And I just wanted to say, thank you again.
We love you, Misty.
You're amazing.
And all the, all the stuff you've gone through with your project and, and, uh, these other
projects, uh, it's, it's quite a, it's quite a story that I think in the future is going
to be one that you'll be telling multiple, multiple times.
Um, let's run it over to, uh, Jay.
Thanks for coming up, Jay.
Thanks for having me.
Um, glad to be here.
Just wanted to say hello to everyone in the space and, uh, crypto medic.
How are you doing?
Um, yeah, just came here.
Just introduced myself.
I'm the marketing manager for the Grimgoyles.
And, uh, I think it was appropriate time to come up here and just say, say hello to you
guys.
Thanks for coming up.
Heard a lot from Chris already.
Really excited.
I've got, you know, I've got a crypto medic in my ear every week at the meetings talking
about what you guys are doing.
So we're really excited to see, uh, see everything with your mitt, man.
Yeah.
We're, we're, we're so stoked.
We're so happy.
We can't, we can't wait.
Long overdue.
And, uh, it's definitely exciting time.
There's a lot of minting going on this month, so I can't imagine how the investors are going
to have to be, uh, you know, saving up all their ETH or, or, or poly or whatever it
is they're going to have to invest in.
But yeah, there's a lot of projects investing this month and a lot of musicians are putting
out music on Friday the 13th, which is tomorrow.
So yeah, we're, we're, we're definitely pumped about that.
Um, tomorrow.
I don't know if you know, but our, uh, our OGs are going to be able to print, uh, mint
five, five free, uh, entities for holding one OG Grimgoyle.
So that's going to be a really exciting time.
And, uh, yeah, just wanted to, uh, share that with you guys.
I see a few OGs in the space.
Thanks bro.
I really appreciate that.
I mean, I don't have an OG, but I'm definitely going to rock and roll.
I mean, why not?
It's like you said, there's actually a lot of projects minting in this, this month, which
you know, it's October, right?
So maybe this does draw some, uh, and a T liquidity back in the space.
I mean, let's, let's see what happens.
Um, I see Chris has his hand.
What's going on, man.
You mentioned something earlier, um, you know, in regards to, uh, like being in a bubble or
a trend.
Right.
And so like, I, like pinky couldn't have said it better to me once it's like, everyone
has their own shop and, you know, they pretty much advertise and they're doing different
things.
But what, what I'll get into like that, you know, he didn't mention specifically was like
things always come like that in, in real life all the time.
And, you know, each, each item has its time, but like there's, there's the thing is, is the
time though, too.
I was listening to you when you were talking about that and I was like, how many people
get the opportunity to do it full time, you know, with funds in their bank, you know, being
able to put a hundred percent of their work week, you know, into it?
Because if you did, I'm pretty positive.
Um, I'm pretty positive you would be able to, um, go ahead and, um, you know, let that
project thrive and sell out and mint quicker.
But everyone, you know, has to do in real life most of the time, um, you know, and they
also have to do, um, you know, the, their spaces and everything all at the same time.
So you have the time factor, you know, you have the people on the team that you hope are
the right core people, um, you know, um, you know, within projects and then, sorry about
that.
Um, and then as far as that goes, um, you know, from that point, I mean, there's a lot
of variables that go into it, but you know, there, there's a lot of things that, um, you
know, in the, in the past, um, that weren't, um, that weren't, uh, relevant and then got
spoken to existence and became popular.
So is it a trend?
I mean, certain things can be, you know, absolutely.
But I mean, for the most part, um, as far as the, uh, you know, the NFTs go, they're not
going anywhere cause they're going to evolve, um, and they're going to continue to grow and
they're just going to get bigger and bigger.
Um, it's just a matter of how much time ever and what you have to offer is, is put into it.
So, like I said, I don't see it going anywhere.
Um, that was just my thought on it.
I wanted to add when you had brought that up.
Oh yeah, man.
Appreciate you adding that in, uh, guys.
Yeah.
You know, it's crazy.
I completely forgot, but I had a really high end networking event tonight.
I signed up myself for, and it just, it just was like, Hey, are you coming?
I'm like, Oh yeah.
So the suit and the, uh, the suit and the shirt are in the, uh, in the shower right now getting
steamed cause I didn't have enough time, but, uh, let's go to some closing questions here.
I'm good for a few before I have to run.
I don't, I don't know how to like, I can't wait for them to be able to like transfer the
host on spaces to continue spaces longer.
But I do think, um, I do think in the future, what I want to do is have like, um, you know,
like a space that maybe like, as we're getting closer to launching stuff, we'll do like, we'll
bring, I want to bring everybody back around and get updates from where they were versus
when they first stopped, uh, talked on Tope Talk, because right now I think we're at space
number like 68, 67, 68.
And that's once a week in a row for like 68 weeks.
That's insane.
I mean, it's not, it doesn't mean like we don't always have like a lot of guests or a lot of
like audience, but we're still here and you guys are still here.
And a lot of the same people keep coming back and it's always good to talk to the same people
just shows that there's longevity in their project.
And that's more important sometimes than interviewing or having questions for new projects, because
it's like, you don't want to see them just launch and then disappear.
That doesn't do anybody good.
So I'd love having the same people show up, you know, and our father has been in the space
probably like half of the time.
That's pretty crazy considering he's not even like, you know, he's not Metatope, right?
Like, so he's, he's coming here and hung out with us that much.
Misty's always stopping by and we appreciate all you guys that do continue to, you know,
come and hang out with us and hopefully you take something away, whether it's something
about a project or just something in general, because the goal here is to, you know, help
educate as we go along.
So I want to give some closing thoughts.
If you want to give a quick, you know, just a real quick, like 30 second pitch about maybe
what you're doing or where people can find you guys, drop your mint dates if you're minting
soon.
And yeah, thanks for everyone being here.
Start off with, start off with victory.
Yeah.
So we got a lot of exciting things going on.
Most importantly, the game we've been working on for about, I don't know, I think it's about
two years with five extra years of further development prior to when we started to take
things over.
But our game, our demo, our playable build should be coming anytime soon.
Um, meaning we're going to have live servers in North America and Europe.
And, uh, you know, as Chris said, the hardest thing for projects like ourselves to do is
to find a player base.
So if you like COD, if you'd like CSGO, um, if you like the things that we had to say
tonight, uh, I encourage you guys to check out what we got going on.
Um, try the game, give us some feedback and, uh, you know, help us build a better web three,
um, game future, but, uh, so thankful to be here.
All the love to Medito, Chris Walker.
Uh, I appreciate you guys.
And I really do love and support everything that you guys are building out here in the
web three world.
Um, and thank you to all the speakers and listeners.
Uh, it was a great end to my Thursday night.
Oh yeah, man.
Love the, love the message, bro.
We appreciate you too.
Run it over to Misty.
I have been involved in web three since 2020 and I love NFTs and crypto and I just love the
technology and the aspect of what everybody is building and what everybody's doing.
I think I was a, a speaker in either the first or second Tope talk that you guys ever did.
And then when I made the Tope list, I was super stoked because that was right after all the
shenanigans had happened with the previous founder and, you know, all the hell that we
went through.
And so the Tope list was a beacon of light for us.
It was like a direction forward.
And I can very happily and very proudly say that I'm an official partner with Metatope now
and I can't wait to work with you guys in the future.
And, and I can't wait to come back on the space and actually deliver like all of the
official new information and what's being built and talk a little bit about my project.
So thank you so much for having me again.
And I look forward to continuously supporting you guys.
Oh yeah, Missy.
It's going to be an awesome journey.
Glad you're on the same ship as us.
Let's see what happens, girl.
We're gonna have so much fun.
I'm really excited for that.
Let's run over to Chelsea.
Such great vibes in this space.
Thank you for bringing me into your community and getting the opportunity to kind of meet
all the cool cats you have going on here.
I think my, my identity as a D-Gen has now been revealed.
No, I mean, I'm rocking the name, the D-Gen-ness.
So I definitely got a little D-Gen running through my blood.
Web 3 strong for sure.
One of the more recent things that we got going on at World of Women that I encourage everyone
to check out is World of Women Monopoly.
World of Women Galaxy Monopoly.
Narfather, I pinned WoW Galaxy up there when you were talking about story because that's
everything, that's everything that this Monopoly board aims to do is really immerse people
into the WoW Galaxy lore.
It is such a great and fun and beautiful representation of Web 3 IP.
We have some really fun ways to tie in other communities as well.
We have kind of the golden players, the player tokens is what they're called.
But we have representations from Bored Apes and CryptoPunks and VFriends and CloneX and
CoolCats and it's really just like a cross-community effort.
But the gameplay and story itself is all based on the World of Women Galaxy.
So that's launching on next Tuesday, October 17th.
I hope you check it out and, you know, have some fun playing Monopoly.
Let's go.
We've got some alpha right there, ladies and gentlemen.
She saved the best for last.
That was great.
I'm going to tell you right now, I have a suit on for the first time in like over half a
year.
I feel like I'm not going to say a couple pounds, just a couple, you know, it's a little
tight at the waistline.
I wonder what's going on here.
It definitely isn't me.
It's the suit, 100% the suit.
But let's run over to the Graham team.
Jay, if you want to say some closing thoughts and then we'll head over to Richard.
And cut it off with, we'll do NAR and then Enzo will take us away.
Go ahead, Jay, if you're still here.
All right, switch it up.
We'll go to NAR real quick.
All right.
Just thank you, everybody, for the time.
And that is the one that's the greatest show of support is your time and showing up.
And people that are here are here building for the future of where we see blockchain tech
going.
So come out to our party tomorrow, 2 p.m.
Eastern, 11 a.m.
Pacific is we have our mint party on Polygon.
I threw a couple of things up in the mask.
Super cool.
All those nostalgia arcade feels.
And we'd love to have fun and we'd love to share.
So we'd love to see you tomorrow.
It's an open space for anybody to come up and just come chat and celebrate and get excited
and even more excited for the future than we already are.
So much love, everyone.
Hell yeah, man.
Mr. Richard.
Say your closing thoughts, my man.
Yeah, yeah.
So I guess, yeah, Max is not going to make this one.
But I think, yeah, no, like everyone has said, appreciate you, man.
Looking forward to it.
Sounds like Miami might be our next trip.
Just being around IRL, NFT people versus like more Web 2, you know, out here.
And then you've got to go on Twitter spaces.
At least I'm not in a poppin' city like L.A. where they go out there like every Thursday
or something and hang out.
But anyway, it was good, man.
We appreciate you.
We look forward to not just hanging out here more, but yeah, potentially working a partnership.
We'll see.
But we'll catch you later, man.
Thank you again.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I think at some level, a degree, we'll be involved with each other.
Figure it out.
So time will tell.
Let's run it over to Chris from the Grimm Goyles team.
And I think we're good then.
I was going to say, Jay sounded exhausted.
We're all exhausted.
That's all good.
It's definitely been a grind for all of us.
But yeah, I wanted to come up here and thanks for having us up.
You know, feel free to join, you know, the party on Sunday.
We have a roster, but it's going to be a nine-hour day, you know, if not longer.
You know, so if anyone wants to come, you know, please join.
We'd love to have you.
You know, thanks for all your support, NAR.
Looking forward to your mint as well and supporting you and also supporting you on the Grimm Goyles Mint Party.
You know, thank you so much for all that you do.
And everyone in here as well.
I mean, everyone in here has done so much for the space.
You know, one day we'll be on the space, you know, or even on a yacht somewhere, you know, just chilling.
Doesn't mean we have to blow our money on stupid things like that, but just a nice trip to, you know, get together
and just talk about all of our experiences that we had, you know, over the years of heartaches and, you know, whatever it may be.
So I hope everyone has a wonderful evening.
Fantastic.
Thanks for coming up and saying the final words for the Grimm Goyle team.
Look forward to everyone's mints here.
We have our boy Enzo from Metatope.
He likes to, he's got, he always has a nice message for us to end off on.
Take it away, Enzo.
Have a good night, everybody.
So going back to the importance of staying healthy that we talked about, I think, in the last week or the week before,
we talked about the importance of mental health and staying healthy.
Going back to that, I think it's important that, you know, everybody in Web 3 says you should touch grass.
And it is very important to actually go out and get some sun, get some vitamin D.
And if you, for some reason, don't like the sun too much, you're, you don't have the right genes and you burn under the sun,
then putting broccoli or not broccoli, mushrooms under the sun before you eat them will activate a certain receptor that will give you enough vitamin D,
actually twice the amount that you get from actually you being in the sun.
So, yeah, again, I know that there's people in here that can't really be under the sun because they burn.
So for those people out there that want to get their vitamin D, don't want to burn, take some mushrooms and before you eat them, put them under the sun.
For those of you that can go into the sun, then I recommend, you know, going for a healthy walk, maybe 10, 20 minutes every day before you start the day.
That way you get your vitamin D, you get to see the sun, you get to touch some grass because we know in Web 3 most people live behind a screen
and we don't really get to touch grass.
So, yeah, stay healthy, guys.
Yeah, he's talking about like regular mushrooms, like lion's mane, stuff like that, by the way.
I just want to clear that up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those mushrooms.
Six feet on the ground.
You're high without me now.
I'm not going out.
And you're the reason I stay in the room.
Just trying to make it through.
Can't stop missing you.
Like every weekend.
They're always supposed to be on the weekend.
We go from the floor to the ceiling.
Tell me something down in the deep.
And you know that I'll miss you the most on the weekend.
You say you don't want me anymore.
That you don't feel the way you're looking for.
Tell me something down in the deep.
And you know that I'll miss you the most on the weekend.
Let's try to fix those up.
Dressing right through my blood.
I can't sober up.
So now my feelings used to cut it up.
But we don't talk about which that you call.
But I can't believe me.
Look.
And the lights go low.
Because the lights shine is where you are.
But my eyes are closed.
And listen to your heart.
You say you don't want me to die.
Woo!
Woo!
And I'll miss you the most on the weekend.
We go from the floor to the ceiling.
Tell me something down in the deep.
And you know that I'll miss you the most on the weekend.
How come up?
How come up?
How come up?
How come up?
How come up?
To get up!
How come up with all walls.
How come up with those walls.
How come up with all opposes.
I love theYourD falando.
Jeez.
I ha haven't been to who I am.
