Hey, what's up guys? Let's talk BTC D-Gods Bitcoin D-Gods for short or the other way around I'm not gonna be up here for too long We have some exciting stuff to be revealing throughout this week, but I'll start taking up any of
requests and in the meantime, I'll just start talking about what the history behind these D-gods are and why I think this is going to absolutely bang and people should be excited about it. So over a year ago, we had this experiment called the Paperhand Bich Tax. The idea was pretty dumb. It was
We taxed anybody that listed underneath the floor price of D-gods at the time. We taxed them 33.3%. And the 33.3% that the burn bot collected would basically go and just buy D-gods from the floor.
And this is back when DGOs were worth about 3 to 5 sole and then burn them. And over the course of two and a half months of this experiment labeled the paper hand bitch tax, 535 DGOs were burned. It's funny because the technically speaking the burn wallet
that these decods were sent to is the best Solana NFT trader of all time. I've seen some leaderboards that take the incinerator address and said, because you know, those decods at three to five sole obviously have appreciated since then. But it's been lower with the
the DGOS ecosystem that one day these 535 DGOS that were purchased by the team from the market and burned would find a way to come back. And this has been lower for over a year now. If you look at our roadmap, the term "what is dead" may never die, has come up many, many times.
over this last year. And so when Bitcoin ordinals came out, we looked at it and at first we thought it was a FAD and that was around 5,000 inscription count. And then we saw some really smart people start to get into it including Udi, ZK shark and in chart Fumunki and other people we were really close
to. And we started looking closer and realized, wait a second, this isn't just NFTs, this is something different, these are inscriptions. And what does inscription mean? It means that everything that you look at today as an ordinal sits on the Bitcoin blockchain in permanence
can't be changed, no smart contracts. If you own an ordinal, it is yours 100%. And we think that this is a very powerful narrative and a very powerful mechanism that honestly does not exist in the world of NFTs today. Some people say at the very least Bitcoin blocks
is now going to be more valuable, going into the future, because people didn't know that you could do this. And at the very least, it's a better version of IPFS, a more decentralized version of IPFS. And there's something beautiful to me about the idea that an image or piece of art can actually last forever and Bitcoin the way
that it's built in the way it is the OG, but even beyond that, if you don't believe the Bitcoin is going to last forever, then I have very hard time believing that anything in crypto is going to last forever. Especially when you have IPFS and other things, they have their token, they have external risks, and so it's something really powerful about this. I'll tell
one story actually about my girlfriend, Eden, who it was really a powerful moment and it's nothing to do with D. God, it's nothing to do with honestly anything that we're doing here, but it has to do with ordinals. My girlfriend, Eden's mother passed away a few years ago and without me talking to her about it, she's also in crypto
So she decided one day to just inscribe a picture of her late mother on the Bitcoin blockchain and she has that inscription. And after hearing that story and she just told it to me, nothing to do again with us this block or anything like that. I was like, fuck, there's something different here. And so from that point on,
We've looked at these 535D guys that we inscribed as something that could potentially be really special. We're coming up very close to you guys right now in the middle of the hype season. Us doing our thing, which is creating a lot of awareness and attention around what we're launching next.
Yeah, it's going to be these 535 Bitcoin D gods in terms of the actual mechanics themselves which I know is everybody's question Frank give white list Frank. How do I get a Bitcoin D god, etc? Here's the thing I want to release the mechanics very very shortly. We're talking within the next 24 to 40
48 hours, but what I don't want to do is create confusion around it. You have to understand this is not going to be like your typical NFT mint. It's different in nature and that is because there are no smart contracts. Very few, nobody has done it the way that we are going to do it and it involves a mix of different payment methods as well.
So I know that's something people are very curious about as well. Hey Frank, what currencies is going to be denominated in? What currency, you know, are going to be able to buy it in? There's going to be two key ones and I can let you guys guess what those two are. Yeah. And so I'm happy to take questions on what exactly
the role out is going to be. I'm probably not going to answer questions that go into the specifics of the actual mechanics because again within the next 24 to 48 hours we should have a whole Twitter thread press statement package around exactly how it's going to work. I would just say it's smart for people to start learning about the about how to have your own wall
it for Bitcoin ordinals if you're interested and also potentially get some Bitcoin as well. Yeah, so I think that's my opening statement here. I can give you more specifics on why I think the Bitcoin D-gods will be the number one, you know, Bitcoin NFT Bitcoin inscription collection because I think that there's a lot of
unique factors here that honestly nobody else can really describe to what they're doing yet. And yeah, something else to know about me. And then we can go into some of the hands that are raised in people requesting. My introduction to crypto was not through crypto itself. I was in the startup world and I was, you know,
just working jobs, doing growth marketing, growth engineering. I saw Michael Saylor on the news by billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin for micro strategy. That was what made me start to get interested, but it wasn't what got me to buy. I've sold the story many times, but maybe not recently, and to this audience here.
The thing that got me deeply excited and interested in everything about this world was reading the actual Bitcoin white paper for the first time. And at first, before I read it, I thought, okay, this is probably about like, tokenomics, or this is probably about how like, you know, the money and like trading and all this stuff. And when I read it, I always
It was so eloquently written and it made me understand the value of having a distributed ledger and why proof of ownership is important and the only way to prove ownership is if thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of
of people are validating that something is true across the world independently and coming together to build the network that we know today is Bitcoin. And so for me, I would not be here. D-gods would not exist. And none of this would have ever happened if it wasn't for the original Bitcoin white paper reading it. And it sent me down a rabbit hole that I have honest
never exited from. And so I was a Bitcoin Maxi for over a year before even looking at NFTs, crypto, anything like that. And yes, those principles that I learned being a Bitcoin Maxi still stick with me today, because I think they get a really bad rap. And that's, I understand why, because they say really negative things about people
in this room that enjoy NFTs get excited about all the different things that are happening in Web 3. But there's a part of Bitcoin culture that has influenced me a lot and that is this idea of being a high integrity high value and high value person that holds certain viewpoints very very closely and doesn't get influenced by the other
side world. And the ideas of self-sovereignty and these different moments within the Bitcoin community shaped a lot of who I am today. So I am just deeply excited about having a collection on Bitcoin that is going to last forever. And while today there's not even a way to do discord fucking verification
There is not even a way to do any type of any of the stuff that we're used to doing in NFTs today. All these primitives do not exist, but we believe that Bitcoin NFTs are going to constantly get bigger, Bitcoin ordinals, ordinals, inscriptions, whatever you want to get, call them because Bitcoin is going to get bigger.
and people are going to want assets that are native to the Bitcoin blockchain assets that are literally within the Bitcoin block space. So that is why we moved so quickly on this and I'm so grateful today that we have a entire Bitcoin block that is underneath all every single of the got in this block is underneath a hundred thousand subscribers.
All of them are between $77,000. Are all of them are in subscription count $77,000 with a range of $535. So I'm just really proud of the team coming together on this really happy with Luxor mining group, which is who we were working very closely with, not just on the actual block itself, but
on creating this unique mechanism that we're going to be launching very, very soon. So with that, thank you guys for listening to this. I will take one or two questions and then end this space so that people can listen back to the replay over the course of the night. I see one D-God with his hand raised. It's block. Let's go.
block your own stage you can unmute and talk if you would like. One sec, let me just... Bro, it's got that Bitcoin audio right now on God. You go off like this, figuring this stuff out. Yes, hello friends. I just have two
questions will speed play a role in the minting part and the second one if you can can you give us a ballpark because you said that there will be a price set for it is there any way you can tell us a ballpark or of the number
but we will have to be ready with the mint. Because for sure you said there is too, which will be dust and BTC. So I don't know if you are, if you can... - Is there raining in the background? You got to like... Okay. I understood the question. Sorry to the listeners for the...
know, white noise machine that be crypto is probably standing in front of. Oh, sorry. Okay. No, no, you're good. You're good. It's all good. So I think one will speed be a factor. I think that's an interesting question. And one, I do feel comfortable answering today. Yes. Speed will be a factor. Why I say that is because obviously,
I am a big fan of Google Apps. I like what they do and I think that they are incredible at what they do. At the same time, I think that there's ways to be improved on what is currently considered the flagship way to do a mint on Bitcoin. And so for me, when I think about all the values and what will get actual NFT people to be excited about
Bitcoin today, how do we bring back the early days of NFTs back in the day? There used to be public mince that were just super hyped. And if you were there, you try to mince it. If you get it, you get lucky, and you're in. If not, then you didn't get in. And I think that there's a factor of that that has honestly been erased as white listing technology
has gotten better as people have been able to figure out ways to not have that happen and for obviously logical reasons. Something that I'm excited about in this mint itself is to bring back the hyped public mint and do it at a price that we think is really fair in Bitcoin. The range I...
I don't want to reveal the range right now only because I think that it'd be unfair honestly to do it in the Twitter spaces now as opposed to in the official press statements so everybody has the same amount of time to prepare because again I just wanted to come from us people look at it because people whatever the people are going to say whether they think we're underselling ourselves which I
I think some people might, for me, I care way more about the collectors to get these and to create a robust, you know, an exciting community around it. And I think if we overpriced these things, we're setting ourselves up for failure. So that is an hint towards how we're thinking about the pricing, especially on the Bitcoin side. But yeah, I think speed will be a
factor because I think at this price point there is going to be a lot of demand. And so yeah, it's going to be a very, it's going to be a hype public mint. And let's see who gets it. And I like to say this lady luck should be on your side. And I think that's just exciting for the whole space. And yeah, that's how we're thinking about it right now. Great questions.
Awesome block. Did you fix your stuff? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes. I know there's been a lot of talk about it being like an auction invest and stuff like that. I'm not too concerned it's the which currency is going to be. I just want to
Will it be a chance for the little guy to grab one of the 535 burn guys? Maybe someone is holding the only one D guard and you know maybe a small bag of dust or something like that? Will they have a chance to get one of the 535?
- Fuck yes, let's go, thank you.
Yeah, and so I think another thing that I do, here's the best way to put it. Since the cat is out of the bag that it'll likely be two currencies that people will be using, you know, Bitcoin and dust. I can tell you guys this because I don't want to set false expectations here and I'm happy to walk through why. But a majority of the supply will be in Bitcoin and
we will reserve a portion of it to be done in dust in two various ways, raffle and auction, and I'll reveal the exact counts for each of those, but I think people can figure it out from the hints that we've given out there so far. And the thought process here is twofold, and this is more speaking towards the Godholders. So if you think about it,
This is not like 12 fold right we're not doing a different IP. It's not generative art. These 535 D gods were purchased by the team in 2021 and burned by the team with real capital. And so for us it's important that in this moment this can be an exciting way to fundraise grow the IP holder
And reach of D gots while at the same time honoring you know long time holders by doing a portion of the supply in dust But we want this collection to succeed because we believe that it will be a great stamp on the D gots brand if I'll be a little D gen here, you know if we flip you go on Bitcoin going into
Going into eat this bridge which is still on target for Q1 like I said it's about to be the God season We think that's just an exciting narrative and something that whether D. Godholders are able to get one of these VTC D. Gods or not We think that's going to be really exciting and something that the D. God's community is mature enough to learn and understand the nuance of and root for the whole of the world
on Bitcoin while understanding that, hey, the holders that get this on Bitcoin have certain trade-offs, right? I think that there's a lot of speculation that because it's a limited supply, because they're denominated in Bitcoin, perhaps that these might be, quote unquote, more valuable than the original of the EGOTS. But at the same time, you know, they're not going to get air drops, they're not going to have all the#
We're not even going to be able to have a real community for them because of the technology today. But what I want to also make clear for people that are interested in buying the Bitcoin D-gods, I am not treating this like a one in done, right? I don't want to just drop these 535 D-gods on Bitcoin and just never talk about them again. It's actually the opposite. I think that this is now going to be
the luxury block and this luxury group within the overall collection. While we go more mass market and we try to do bigger things on main net eth this year for e-gods, we think that this small section of our community, we want to get this in front of Southern easing crises. We want to create merchandise and interesting experiences for
people that are on the Bitcoin side of this. And this has been our strategy now and I'm opening up a little bit here throughout this year. We saw an arbitrage in the fact that no other collection was really going multi-chain in a way that made sense. What I mean is like people might go and talk about other chains, people might go make it easy to bridge between other chains.
There are unique communities within every single blockchain ecosystem, and we look at that as a core driver of growth this year. So now we'll be able to say that we have a collection that is uniquely on Solana, which will be tubes, mint tubes that will continue to stay there. We will have a collection on Polygon, which has its own thesis.
massive brands on there. We will have a collection on Ethereum that we want to dominate with and we will have a collection on Bitcoin. And to me, this allows us to grow our audience in a way that keeps it in an audience group that actually is interested in NFTs and we're not pitching this to moms and Idaho. So this is our growth strategy and we are not going to just forget about the Bitcoin NFTs.
he's right after they're minted, they'll actually be a part of our core strategy going forward. And if we ever do ordinal drops again, this is how this is going to be a great test drive on how that works exactly. So I just want to make that clear that, you know, at the end of the day, this is, we are looking at this as an incredible inflection point for
Bitcoin itself, but also very practically speaking to our DeGot holders and new holders in the audience that might want the entire thing to be in dust, for example. We spent real capital on these DeGots back in 2021. Back when Solana was at $250. If we were able to not only recoup those
But also build a luxury arm of our D gods community. We see this as a win-win and so I hope the D got holders are rooting for this to be a Massive Mint and for the D gods to do really well in the secondary market because I think this is good It's a win-win for all holders involved and it's not diluting RIP. We're not issuing new D gods these are 530
of the 10,000 D.Gods and people assume that D.Gods are a 10,000 supply anyway. Most people don't even talk about these 535 that were burned. And so we think all in all this is going to be truly a match made in heaven, both for me as a big Bitcoin appreciator and fan. And also for our community that gets to now say that, you know, hopefully
I'm going to be a little bit more focused on the game.
You know, we're going to be talking a lot this week guys. Don't worry. I'm about to be on the full press door. So Mark, hit us with the last question. Let's go for our last question. Can you talk a little bit about what the experience is going to be like for somebody who's awarded one of the Bitcoin D guys. Is there going to be some sort of special way that they're going to receive this D got.
It's interesting because there actually just is not a great way to do that and so what it's gonna be is a Bitcoin address and we're gonna send it to those Bitcoin addresses But I've been talking to basically every single team building on Bitcoin for the last three and a half three weeks in this space and I don't think we're that far out
I don't think we're that far out from connecting your wallet and implementations. So in that case, I do think once those technologies are available, we will integrate these digots into the main community and stuff like that. But for now, I'll tell you, I guess
is the alpha here. For the D got holders that are just excited about this historic moment and even for people that are interested in Bitcoin, I think we're about to drop the single hardest piece of Bitcoin merch in the game and it will be coming out on the same day that the mint is happening. So that way, you know, people that can't participate, there's a way to
at least Mark and Stamp that you were here and also get a dope piece of merch that yeah I mean it just looks fucking hard so I'm excited for that as well but that's the thought process around how we can make it a magical experience but here maybe a better way to put it is for the overall mint experience where I realized when I saw or nosewood
The only way to really create context around the art is through a beautiful website and interface. If you guys have been seeing this like Windows 95 inspired icons and stuff like that that we've been putting out, there is going to be a totally different experience.
The way the website looks, the explorer where you view all the D-gods that are within the ordinal collection. And so we think that this will help contextualize the art as new collectors and as Bitcoin ordinals grows, where most people will be relying on a third-party aggregator. We're excited to have a way for people to explore the D-gods in a way that is
native to how we branded this section of our community. So there's that as well. I'm trying to think if there's anything else. Okay, you have your hand raised what? Alright, so one more question. So I know obviously you're a huge Bitcoin Maxi. Is this going to be the last thing that D. God's does with Bitcoin? Or should we expect more stuff down the road?
I think Bitcoin is four weeks old and Bitcoin knows my bad Bitcoin is a little bit older than four weeks. I can't answer that affirmatively. I think we will end up doing more stuff on Bitcoin. I think that this is so far over these four weeks has played out.
Not just like I got interested in ordinals when we mind our fucking block, you know, for the entire block for D-gods, you go labs didn't announce yet, you know, there are a lot of these bigger names that have come in since since then was part of the thesis of why we went in so early, but it wasn't guaranteed and all I can say is that thesis has been played
out pretty wonderfully over the last month since this thing has even gotten started. And I do have, I've heard the rumblings, all right guys, I've heard the rumblings, that a blue tip premier marketplace will be dropping their Bitcoin ordinals product, you know, around, probably around the time that we actually
up minting this thing. That should be very exciting and probably 10X the actual growth and trading volume of Bitcoin NFTs going into the very near future. We waited for the right time to do this. I told you guys I wanted to wait until you did it.
After the announced because I wanted to see their mechanics and see how we can improve and I think everyone's going to be really happy with these mechanics. And yeah, just just deeply excited for this and excited to be able to say that, you know, we are we are on Bitcoin and then let's fucking do what you guys do. Let's dominate and
Let's own that fucking chain, baby. All right guys, I think that's all. Have a great night and I'll also on Twitter. I'm here all night. It's a sprint season and trying to get this out as soon as possible. So just excited. I was fucking go Bitcoin. Fix the money, fix the world. Bitcoin fixes this. Let's fucking go. Good night.
