We got some great projects that have tapped in with us already
we got my man geezer down there what's going on geezer get your ass up here mate um but like yo
happy wednesday everyone happy fucking hump day look at the chart look at solana solana it's back
baby it's back last couple weeks ago everyone's crying. Oh, shit. I'm going to short Solana.
I'm going to short it, man.
Fuck that.
I'm going to short.
Yeah, all right, then.
How did that?
How's that going for you?
I longed it.
I longed it.
I launched my NFTs.
Pardon the pun.
I launched my NFTs.
I launched my NFT.
And I froze the collection at $109 Solana.
Was I panicking? No. I think I think long term man I'm a long
game kind of player everyone's saying oh stable out man stable out Solana's gonna dip yeah right
then you stable out your shit I'm gonna do what I do you know me so it just goes to show everyone
make sure that you do your own research make sure that you're making decisions based upon
like you know um but not not based upon emotion but just based upon like what you feel is going
to be the best not only for you if you're a founder make sure that you make decisions that
are going to be the best for your community and i tell you what, Blockchain Guardians are looking fucking great. But anyway, let's keep it moving.
We have got the NFT kid in the house.
My bro, what's going on, man?
How you feeling?
Yo, yo, feeling good.
I was buying some NFTs with Tony this morning, collecting.
And it's been a good day, man.
I got a run in, a little five-mile run over here in Red Rock.
And yeah yeah just grinding
you know how it is getting back to dms and making sure everyone's squared away
it's a lot of work isn't it yeah it's a lot of stuff but you know there's worse jobs there's
worse things you know the problem is um keith i think we make it look too easy fam i mean we we
get on stage we have a lot of fun. We have a lot of laughs.
We drop a bit of alpha.
We pontificate upon, like, you know, the web-free environment.
I mean, you know, it's just like another day in the office for us.
But I think we make it kind of, like, look too easy.
But most important thing is we just want everyone to have a good experience in web-free.
And, like, you know, just diversify.
Diversify. Real quick, though though i appreciate you the other day for you how to roast that guy a little bit but it
was all very true what you were saying and um you know what i i really don't feel bad for a lot of
these people i have more people my dms are like oh i sold all my eath i sold all my solana when it
hit 100 bucks when soul hit 100 and the eath was near 1200 or
whatever i said bro why like and then a month before this these people give me these big
fucking hero speeches like they're gonna save the world and they're here with their new project and
they're so passionate and they'd rather die before they'd sell eath fucking hits 1200 or whatever 1300 they sell now they're crying about it and it's so dude it's like dude i really don't want to hear that noise
i don't care i'm just gonna ignore your message and our our dm's done because i have other people
to talk to people that have real opinions and people i want to get back to i just have too much like people that just faded me or they faded the market and now they're crying about it to me
and i'm not pastor i don't want to hear your confessions i don't care so right but that's
the thing man and like i know that you can testify to this yourself man it's like i mean you know i
know that you've been definitely helping a lot of people like you
know showcasing them like you know buying their nfts like you know you've done tasers tuesday and
like you know you're always popping around and you know sweeping floors and supporting individuals
but then the the reciprocation factor is it's kind of like non-existent right not that we really expect it but like again if
we just take the philosophies out of how business is done in web 2 right you do somebody a solid
they do a solid for you in return in web free you do somebody a solid they forget about it
like fade you run to the next person get rugged and want to come running back to you with their flipping legs between their tail because they're a failure. It's really interesting. I mean,
what's your view on that? Because I know that you've been through many experiences.
I know for a fact, like unspoken word, you get pulled in 10 million different directions every
fucking day. Do you know what I'm saying? Every day. So what's it
like a day in the life, bro? Just a day in the life. Well, just like you said, they're trying
to pull you in all these different directions, but I look at the core problem or the core thing
that's happening. And it's usually always the user error. Like they did something and there's
something going on and they made, like I gave them them some good advice but they didn't take it and then they said oh sorry i didn't take
it but can you help me now no bro you're burnt you burnt your bridge with them now you're burnt
with me because you're dealing with scammers and i don't want to even hear your story when you come
on myspace trying to rebuild oh we just got scammed and now we're with keith and keith's a good
fucking guy keith is a good guy.
He sweets NFTs, and Keith does this.
He's a fighter.
Bro, you should have went with me from the get.
And it's like, I don't know.
It's crazy.
Right.
And the thing is, a lot of these guys,
if they get scammed or whatever,
they're getting spammed for a lot more
than I would have been an actual partner with them helping them
And it's just like it's just weird, you know, it's
There's a lot of good things man. There's good people, you know people this guy gave me a D god the other day heard about my story
I got hacked sent me a D god. I mean that's like a $2,000 NFT, right?
I mean, you know, there's nice things that happen people are are kind there are there are good people
But it's so easy for people to turn.
You're saying, have I seen this?
Of course I've seen it.
Because here the grass is greener and people can get the grass in five different hours, five different ways.
And it's just wild.
And they'll come back and I'll be like, hey, man, you're a good guy.
You're not going to rug me.
But yeah, it's all about community building and it's even if i don't get anything back for
what i'm doing i feel like i'm setting a good standard and i'm making good example and i feel
like that makes me feel good just to spread like just fucking truth and just to try to be as real
as i can and try to like actually support people and buy people's art
and support the people in the very bottom. And then I fuck with the top too. I mean,
I don't know if I really support them as much. I guess you could say I like some stuff or I go to
their spaces here and there, but, um, it's just find your, find your way. You know, I've kind of
found my way. So I know where I sit. Yeah. it's it's an interesting journey fam it's an interesting
journey like you know I feel like I'm still growing as a um you know as an individual as
a businessman as a I don't know a space host as a speaker in web3 I feel like I'm still growing
like you know um I have absolutely no ego I think ego is the worst enemy
of anybody that's like even tasting a little bit of success or growing a project like you know from
a founder's standpoint or like you know just somebody with a voice I think it's really important
to stay grounded and staying grounded means like you know know, as you said, reaching out to the small guys.
I love, I support the small guys, man, because I believe that like, you know, the small guys,
they're late, you know, they're the ones that are going to be the giants of tomorrow. So like,
you know, today money is no good for me, man. I mean, you know, what's, what's, what's,
what's the point in having a big bag of money today if there's no possibility of like, you know, tomorrow so you know it's really I mean my standpoint is kind of like investing in the future
like you know the big guys are the big guys all right cool but what are you doing how are you
throwing the rope back how are you kind of like you know mentoring or giving access to resources
or connections for the small guy so that he can get to where you are.
Do you know what I mean? So, yeah, man. And, you know, I mean, we've hung out enough and we've seen enough.
And that's why, without you even saying a word, I had to jump all over that guy the other day.
Like, bro, come on, man. You know, why are you even here? You had the opportunity right I mean the leaf was handed to you you had the opportunity
to get on the road to like you know um laying a strong foundation with some good connections
and you faded it so why are you here telling us about your failure we're not here to hear that
do you know what I mean you had the opportunity to like you know get on the path to success
and you totally like blanked it and that's why i say like look guys don't look
at who's like you know hot today and who's got the buzz today because they might not have it
tomorrow like look at the individuals that have really invested their time and shown you shown
you who they are by showing up and supporting individuals by supporting the underdogs by giving them a platform by protecting
them like you know from the furious individuals and individuals that want to put a negative spin
on what they're doing and stuff like that this is the web free space that we're in fam it's volatile
it's not all peaches and roses and i'm minted out and oh i'm giving you this and I'm giving you that and a lot of it is smoke and mirrors.
A lot of it is like used car salesman's pitch to let you dig in your pocket, give up some fucking money.
That's really what it is.
But you will find that you'll see who are the sincere individuals just by what they do, not by what they say.
Like, do you know what I'm saying look at what launch my nft does it's only just recently that they've you know started to make more of a social
presence and stuff like that but they've been doing it for the last three years not saying a lot
but doing a lot more like you know I've put out a couple of posts.
Say less and do fucking more.
You know what I mean?
We're tired of the glory stories.
And hey, look at my wallet.
It's got $2 million in it.
And this, that, and that.
That's Photoshop.
We know it's Photoshop.
Stop playing with us.
If you can talk about your wins,
why don't you tell us about your losses also? why don't you keep it real so that you're setting
levels of expectation for not only the new individuals that are in the space
but for like you know some of the old geez like you know I wasn't scared like
last year I got my wallet drained two times 40 grand and I showed up the very
same day after my losses I took my hits everybody knew that like
you know what i'm saying so yeah let's just keep it real and web free man but glad to have you
with us keep we're definitely gonna hear a lot more from you we've got some more speakers on
the panel gotta say what's up to my man monkeys dino what's good, Dino? Yo, yo, yo, yo. Mr. Martek. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.

Rejoin.
I think they had a little Discord problem this week.
So, yeah, good to jump back in there and re-engage with Lucky Labs if you can.
That's it for me.
Let's get this space cranking.
Hey, wonderful stuff, man.
Wonderful stuff.
Back over to you, Sal.
I was going to say, I really look forward to Wednesday's they may hype up
oh I think
am I
are you what sorry
yeah
just a little bit
I think everyone has to be muted
is that where
wait
I don't know man Salamander we're going to have to put you Is that where it is? Wait, Martek, I think you've muted.
I don't know, man.
Salamander, we're going to have to put you to the bottom of the space.
Sorry, I'll give you something.
Class or something.
Wait, both of you guys muted.
Let's see.
Let's see.
Martek, stop mute.
I'll try the mute button.
How's that now, Sal?
Try speaking now.
Everyone's muted.
No, I think you're muted too.
Okay.
Are you on one of those sexy fucking studio microphones?
Like, you know, on the little tripod in front of your face kind of thing?
Like, hey, I'm a broadcaster?
No, I'm going to be on my computer here.
I don't know what's going on.
Maybe I have to pull myself.
Sal, I told you about the computer thing, Sal.
Oh, the computer is the worst the computer the
computer sucks balls man I'm sorry the computer is like it's not it you know and and take it from
somebody I've been doing spaces I only do it on my iPhone I only do it on my cell phone the only
time in three years I had a couple of rugged spaces was about a month ago
and that's when like everybody was experiencing problems with spaces and stuff like that
but um i still think that there's a few glitches with the way that the broadcasts are run through
pc and stuff like that specifically if you're using wi-fi because Wi-Fi signals, they come and go and you wouldn't even realize.
But like typically I use my cell phone. I use the cell service and stuff like that because that's
pretty like seamless. I think I'm going to pull up the Sal account. What is up, everybody? I'm
going to follow everybody here. I feel like Martek last time he's got last time he was tweaking. So
he had to do the blockchain guardians account. Right, right,
right.
It gets like that sometimes,
man,
but like,
space is starting to fill up.
Everyone retweet the room.
again,
today we've got special featured guests,
the one and only NFT kid.
And we've got Salamander up on a personal account.
So like,
yeah,
maybe,
maybe we'll have a little bit more success,
but let's jump around.
Let's say some more good afternoons.
And who have we got?
We have got Webster.
What's going on, Webster?
Webster, you better be ready.
Webster's not ready.
All right.
Three seconds in the boot.
Yeah.
Digital error.
What you got?
Yo, what's going on, guys?
Appreciate you having me at Martek.
Oh, appreciate you being me at martech oh appreciate
you being ready to speak my friend my friend appreciate you being ready to speak how's it
going this afternoon it's going good it's going good appreciate you for having the show excellent
excellent so digital uh era elevation what is digital era elevation all about specializing
blockchain technology content creator digital
assets and a few more things what's going on in your world i've seen a couple of posts
from your account on the tl so um tell us what's going on in your world yeah so for the most part
i'm really just a uh community brand here for the common ground of the web three built from the web to space.
My name is Isaiah. I'm from California. And I'm just here to grow with all you guys being a common guidance to what it is that people can kind of get their hands on as far as the opportunity
in this space, such as the blockchain guardians and the monkeys and, you know, all sorts of
collections that we do have a part of the art in the space. So again, I'm just a common guy. The four sectors that I kind of specialize in
is what I kind of take part in. So, and that's kind of how I make my money and appreciate my
time in Web3. So I kind of share those four sectors in regards of just, you know, helping
other people with doing those things as well, if they're interested. If not,
I'm all here for it, for the guidance, the education, the onboarding, the terminology,
the positivity, everything and more. So pretty much that's what it is. I've got a lot of things coming and it's just soon to be talked about. So Martek, don't want to take too much of your time.
Appreciate you for having me up. Give me a follow a follow doesn't matter give the space to retweet
follow everyone on stage appreciate you guys thank you excellent excellent excellent well um
first of all i appreciate you coming up and being totally transparent doxing you doxing to us off
the rip hi my name's isaiah is zach or whatever i live in california i love that i love that
or whatever. I live in California. I love that. I love that. Transparency, I think, is the new
matter moving forward. Because like, you know, I mean, some of us early adopters, we've been
through a lot. And can you imagine back in the bull run, people were throwing money at individuals
that they don't even know. They were throwing money at voices and then getting mad when they get rugged. Like really,
how can you,
the only person that you should be mad at is yourself.
Like,
do you know what I'm saying?
It's like,
you know,
I was walking down the street and there was a guy standing next to a
Ferrari and he had a balaclava on and like,
you know,
I couldn't see his face.
And he said that I could buy it for like $3,000.
And then I found out that it was stolen oh shit damn that guy yeah man you know what i'm saying block him yeah recently the
world has definitely transitioned into a whole nother aura i feel like uh the people's attitudes
such as humanity has definitely transitioned into a
negative way. And to an extent, I just want to be that against the grain to kind of help
keep that positive vibe in Web3 as a community brand. And just again, help bring people together
as far as a way and show them that this space isn't as toxic as people say and as people go
through. And there are nice things and nice opportunities out here such as the space that we have today and that's why i decided to come up based off of you
know just building with you guys and being a community and getting one-on-one time with you
guys able to connect have a voice that way you guys aren't just seeing a brand all the time and
just post from an account i am a real person I do respect each and every one of your collections.
I do hold blockchain tech. I do hold blockchain guardians and I do.
So again, I'm here to guide. I'm here to share. I'm here to buy. I'm here to sell just like all you guys. Let's have fun. So, all right. Before we move on to the next, we've got my man,
geezer up here. Definitely want to hear from him. So what would you say, you know, certain criterias are, you know,
before you decide to make the decision to, like, you know,
go ahead and support a community, let's say, an NFT project or a web-free project?
Or, like, what are some of the indicators that you look for to say, like,
you know what, all right, let me invest my time.
Because it's not just your money that you're investing. It may your time it may be your resources it may be your network and like
you know we all got to protect our network and the individuals around us so what are some of
the indicators that will kind of like you know give you confidence in order to like you know
maybe take a we'll call it a risk at first and like, you know, get behind somebody.
And I appreciate you supporting the blockchain guardians.
No problem, Martek.
And that's a good question that you asked just because, again, what you said earlier, as far as transparency, going into a Discord community, you can kind of get a sense and a feel if that's present or not.
And for a good example, Martek and the monkeys, necessarily you guys hold very good transparency within the community.
And holding such artwork kind of like represents the community in itself on how strong it is.
So like when I get that sort of aura and then I go into your guys' spaces and then I'm like basically being a spectator and not a player,
it kind of transitions me into being a player based off of your guys's
setup and how you guys got your community going based off the collection that you've generated
so it's more like a um it's more like a showing up daily rolling out the red carpet for the holders
and really standing by it and if you can follow through on that and you can transition the mindset
from being a spectator to a holder i think that's a top indicator as far as being a buyer and transitioning yourself from not a holder to a holder.
And that's my indicator. And that's how I transition into these communities such as that I've been mentioning.
And there's a lot more guys. But again, I'm just here to speak and kind of indicate.
I appreciate it man appreciate it
kid how you feeling what's your thoughts on like you know the whole community building process and
all that kind of stuff and again it's like you know this is kind of like me and you just hanging
out because we've been on many stages and heard many a project and like you know uh seen the humorous side but then had
to kind of like you know bring it bring it down to ground and kind of like you know talk about
certain business ethics and all that kind of stuff so um anything you want to tap in on that
and sometimes we got to get the boot yeah well well the thing is again sometimes you know we
we got to understand that kid is always busy and like you know he's training a couple of fighters
and he's got a fight coming up may 1st and all that kind of stuff so like you know um or he
might just be packing a bowl who knows but um we got a couple of hands up i can see um you want to
pick one yeah i actually want to go to before we go to
the hands i do want to go to geezer he was a special guest but i didn't realize that he was
actually on a flight somewhere so are you at the airport geezer like this i am i am coming to you
live from stans to the airport uh a couple of hours away from my flight to Turkey for Crossroads Solana. So yeah, nice and excited.
And I am sorry that I am a little bit late,
but I did try and host another space early in the day
that's my own.
And we basically had to rug it and go again tomorrow
because there was just no signal in the Suffolk countryside,
which I'm sure Martek will know all about.
The English countryside is not the best signal.
Yeah, yeah, interesting.
A lot of cows, a lot of cows.
Lots of cows, lots of sheep, lots of animals, basically.
Right, right.
But how are you doing, mate?
Everything good in your world?
All good in the hood, man.
Yeah, just busy, busy, busy.
It's been a pretty crazy weekend.
I was in Manchester for the Central Sea concert,
privileged enough to meet him.
And yeah, it's just been a wild week, to be honest with you,
because I feel like it comes at you 100 miles an hour,
but we still show up daily, Martek.
Something I know you know exactly what I'm on about.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
I've said it time and again.
It's actually part of our DNA.
For the real ones, anyway, it's part of our DNA.
It's part of our daily habits.
It's part of what we do on a day-to-day basis.
I mean, you know, for me, yeah, it's just part of my, you know, day-to-day business now.
It's, you know, things are definitely growing,
not just in the space,
but with some of the things that I'm doing,
some of the initiatives that I'm putting out.
And what I do keep at the forefront
is showing up and supporting others.
Like, you know, just using the resources
that I've managed to, you know,
amass over the last three years.
And I'm not hodling them for myself.
Like, do you know what I'm saying?
It's like, how can I empower the next person?
How can I potentially discover one of the next great NFT projects
or one of the next great visionaries within the Web3 space
and all that kind of stuff?
That's what really excites me about Web3
is its continued future growth and stuff like that and
um i i think you know as monkey said earlier having these spaces is really important because
you never know who you're going to meet you never know what you're going to hear that might kind of
like you know change your way of thinking do you know what i mean so that you can like you know
elevate yourself to the next level.
You know, connections are important. If we don't have connections and if we don't have networks, we ain't got nothing.
There is absolutely nothing. If you're not networking with the right individuals and all that kind of stuff, you've got nothing, man.
There's nothing, there's nothing to be had. Like, you know, and we have to keep open minds as well like you know we can't pass judgment on individuals um based upon them not telling us what we want to hear do you know what i mean
there's more there's more power in listening than like you know coming up with the smart rebuttal
and stuff like that for what somebody's trying to create but like yes al if you want to keep it
moving over to you i see that we have got Loaded Hyenas meme.
I can't read the rest of it.
But Loaded Hyenas, what's going on?
I was going to say the same thing.
Loaded Hyenas got her hand up.
If you guys want to chat, feel free to put your hand up.
If you're too shy, no worries.
I apologize.
Nah, that's annoying.
Yeah, I was just
piggybacking off of
what you guys were saying about
community. It's very
important to
build a community.
We launched
off of
PushFund
with zero promises,
zero roadmap, zero roadmap,
zero anything just with just the hype of the community. And we were able to make every single member
that invested in our project some money.
What does that mean for me? Okay. I took help for the community
so that way everybody can get into and do whatever they needed to do just to keep the
project going and flowing. Community is so important, guys, and especially for these devs we've all been rugged and we've all been a part
of projects that over promise and under delivered literally if you if you check how i wrote the by
by description zero promises but without a community i wouldn't be able to be on VVS
right now.
And ever since then, you know,
it's all about smart contracts.
The longevity
and the sustainability
of meme coins.
Once you get graduated
to a DEX, you got to
smart contracts.
Cool. So
Push Fun, I'm familiar with contracts. Cool. So, Push
Fund, I'm familiar with them. That is
Elder Carl and the Boomer Squad.
You're over there on the Kronos chain.
I see that you're rocking an Ibisu
Spade Founders Pass. Very
familiar with the Kronos
chain. Now, on a whole, how would
you say, what is the sentiment like
on the Kronos chain?
Right now, I checked my wallet today and we were up.
Whatever I had in my wallet, it doubled today.
Right now with the Kronos chain and our project,
now that we graduated to the chain,
we want to kind of facilitate some of those areas and, you know, with smart contracts to kind of speed up the system. Everything's been going pretty good. It's what we're what we're running across is, is that there's no one right way to do it in Web3. Everybody believes their way is the right way and the only way sometimes.
But we got to realize that each and every one of us that are in here right now are major contributors to this network and all networks and how they work.
how they work. Right. And I think it kind of goes back to what I said earlier is like,
you know, being who you are and not being who everybody else wants you to be.
Sometimes you find that you will come up with a project and like, you know, you'll just have
people that will like, you know, throw negative sentiment on it and they do not understand,
you know, because they want to to read they want to read it and
comprehend it the way that they want to read it not the way that you have written it um and there
is a little bit of underlying history there because i did launch on the kronos chain um and it was a
very interesting experience um just with certain individuals and the way that they um approached
new projects that were launching like um you know so yeah maybe maybe that's a conversation for another time we get we get uh
i got it too um i had got a little bit of that too but for the most part i've been on the chronos
network for 2022 and you know this know, this is like,
this was like my little first little opportunity and I had seen an opportunity
to, to kind of, you know, jump in on a meme culture.
Um, and I use it specifically just to get access
to be able to do the things I wanted. Cause sometimes whenever you, you know,
everybody feels like, Oh, you got to have
a road map.
Oh, you got to have this.
You got to have white paper.
No, you don't.
No, I'm telling you right now, you don't.
You go look at that push fund right there.
I did not promise nothing.
And when they were trying to press me, they were trying to press me.
And like I told them, I said, look, there's too many projects out here that are over promising and under delivery
right right right so that way i don't want to hear you're a bit muffled mate you're a bit muffled
you know so that's how i rolled it okay excellent stuff man well definitely glad to have you with us on this
wednesday afternoon really appreciate your insights and all that wishing you all the best
for the future um yeah yeah let's keep it moving man um let's go to rocket and then we will go to
laser what's going on rocket thank you thank you for having us on really really good man i appreciate you guys
um shout out to launch nfts um you guys have been you know nothing but great to us um we actually
launched that um using you and we mentored out we're essentially some of the new kids on the
block um we just been building a community in the background, just jumping on spaces, just really supporting what everyone's been doing.
We're trying to be here for the long term, not just short term gains, because like you were saying earlier, there's too many people that are in there for the short term gain.
And, you know, we see ourselves as explorers.
The whole Rocketverse is about growing.
It's about challenging yourself beyond what you know,
it's about finding out things that you didn't know that was available and possible,
it's about not limiting yourself.
So we did the Space Guardians and there's a few people actually rocking them in there,
so thank you to you all.
Thank you to everyone that's just really just always supported us. It's been you know nothing
but an exciting journey to grow with people. One of the things that you guys were talking about
earlier and I want to thank you guys for starting this space like that you know just talking about
not just the failures but talking about how you build a community and it's in
sense of getting to know people. And that's been our ethos, it's been, can we
build other people first? And if we can build a big enough community in terms of
caring about people, we're gonna win anyways, but they're gonna win more. And
that's something even more amazing in a sense of
longevity wise you know it's not about trying to be here for you know for a few weeks it's about
just growing with web3 it's still you know I believe in its infancy and there's so much that
can come out of it that is untapped and one of the things that we decided we were going to do is
create a learning culture I know um someone was talking about uh creating a community aspect
earlier and that's a whole thing so we want to be known for that we want to be the guys to go to
that um provide more learning opportunities than anybody and I know it's a big goal but if you don't you know
if you don't think big and if you don't aim big then there's no point I've started in the first
place so it's about the individual it's about every single person that comes into our community
it's about people finding out their stories learning about who they are and seeing how we
can grow with them because like the reality is um know, space is a big, you know,
excuse the pun, but space is a, you know, is a big, big, big place for us, you know, and when we say
space, we mean filling up the space, we mean, you know, stepping into the best version of yourself.
And there's somebody out there that's figured out what you're trying to do next and we want to be able to
bring those people together and give value our biggest conversations that we have in our spaces
is about value and we we had a conversation about value for you know quite a few weeks where we were
just trying to figure out what value means to you what value you bring to other people and if you go
from a place of value you can't go wrong there's nothing you go from a place of value, you can't go wrong.
There's nothing that can go wrong.
Yes, you're going to have wins and losses,
but that's just part of the game.
It's like business.
Whether it's Web 2 or Web 3,
or whether you were building a business outside,
wins and losses are part of the game,
but it's about just knowing where you're trying to go to
and the impact you're trying to
have on people so you know launch my nft was a great platform for us um i mean even the pun on
launch and rockets um kind of worked you know in our favor so we're really really thankful for for
the time that you guys are giving us for the support for checking in with us even when um we
meant it out um you know you guys you know reached out to us as
well we're really really thankful for that so thank you for this great community you've been
building incredible people that are there and I'm pretty sure that I'm familiar with
you said you were from Suffolk you sound familiar I think I know you Giza
we love Suffolk I used to i used to live in suffolk so
that's quite it's quite interesting that you're saying that uh you know good or suffer care
i'm actually in norfolk buddy um i was just not norwich norwich on the way yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
i work in norwich and i live on the east coast in a very well-known seaside town
live on the east coast in a very well-known seaside town um in the east of england but yeah
it's always good to hear the the uk fam repping on spaces and in the vibrant nft web3 ecosystem
of solana that we call home bro we love we love great yarmouth and uh
and uh gorsman and is he yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i i actually do know you and you know i'm gonna
tell the this face you're a great person um i've met you in real life um you know you you you'll
you'll realize who i am as we speak on but he's an absolutely great person um i've met you a few
times over the years but i've met you over the years i'm gonna send you a message
later so you know who it is yeah please do your voice sounds familiar when you got on the mic i
did start to remember you and this is where the uh the actually going to live events and meeting
people in real life and forming those connections comes up clutch because you never know when you're
gonna hop on a random space we launched my nft and all these great speakers and uh link up again oh 100 and it that's that's that's the
whole point of community isn't it community is not just you know getting people to you know
go for your art base the the lives we don't realize how interconnected we all are and i think
this is one of the beautiful things
about you know about web3 once you realize that it's about the building actual actual meaningful
relationships and really you know touching people's lives in a in a sense where whether it's
through your art whether it's through what you teach them whether it's just being a nice person
you know and it kind of shows i remember you from being a nice
person this could have been you know could have gone the other way but you you have to understand
that the print that you live you leave is going to stay way long after people are rocking your
nfts or they're part of your community so can we leave a positive print is really the goal. And you build a community by showing up, by, you know, by listening to people,
by asking questions, by being vulnerable as well, because the reality is everyone wants to be great
and show their wins and so on.
But, you know, when we were launching, I mean, our team, shout out to the guys that are there,
you know, some of them rocking the Space Guardians.
You know, we've got WebServe, Navy, 100X. These
guys have been working tirelessly, just really thinking about what can we do that was going
to set us apart rather than trying to copy what everybody else has done. We can copy maybe the
ethics of building the community, but in terms of nobody's going to be you.
And once you realise that there's space for everyone here, regardless of what it is that
you're trying to create, there's enough space if you become your authentic self. And that's
probably the most important thing is, can you be authentic with it? And don't try and be a copy of
somebody else. Copy the good things they do, essentially just be you and that's really been what we've been about and i know i spoke for a
bit of time but i really appreciate you guys giving us the space and thank you all for for that
yeah man big up yourself big up yourself um actually i think you guys i'm just looking in
my discord um i think 100x reached out to me
maybe a couple of weeks ago but it's been real kind of crazy busy 100x is a is a you know I've
got to give him a bit of shout out you know we we love to appreciate people but he's really
kept the community together and helped to really create the vision of what we're
gonna do and bring just incredible people from all over the world together
to be able to create this community that we're in and one thing that he's made a
recurrent thing from day one was just that culture of reaching out that
culture of just reaching out to everybody,
you know, whether they were new, whether they're OGs and just connecting. So really, really
appreciate it. I know you've been busy, Mark Deck, and we know you're busy doing your thing,
but we appreciate what you're doing as well. And for the energy, you know, the energy that you
started the space with, that was fun. It felt like being at a party that you just got lucky to get an invite an invite to so love that that was uh
that got me up i was dancing but you know the neighbors look so i had to quickly shut the
you know hey good shit man good shit yeah i'll definitely respond to 100x we'll get something
cooking up um but i'll ask
you a question if you don't mind yeah go ahead man um so obviously one of the things that we
absolutely welcome in our spaces is um trying to find out a little bit more about people from the
vulnerable side of it so question for you because you you were you know you sound you're very
inspirational and even in the way that you speak you you're very direct in the way that you say things.
And I think it's needed in Web3.
So question that I would ask you on behalf of our team, right?
Question I would ask you, what would you say the biggest challenge that you've had in Web3?
And what's the biggest thing that you've learned?
The biggest challenge that i've had yo
those are questions i'm not gonna lie no how come i'm i'm on the spotlight all of a sudden
i start interrogating him too and bubbles i think one of the biggest challenges is just taking your
emotions out of the equation like understanding the business for what it is,
like, you know, the environment for what it is,
keeping a level head, you know, not responding to, like, negativity,
just staying grounded.
I think, you know, although it's something that I'm just very accustomed
to doing on a day-to-day, like in the early days, it was like, man, there was I was there was so much negativity being thrown at me.
And I couldn't understand why, you know, because it was totally an environment that I wasn't used to, you know, in Web2.
Like, you know, but I just think getting to a point where like you know you
understand why you're actually here and like you know understanding that like look i'm here to do
good i'm here to support people and then understanding that there are going to be
individuals that don't actually like that that don't necessarily resonate with your mindset
and stuff like that so it's was just keeping level. And I
think that was one of the biggest obstacles that I had to overcome. Everything else is pretty much
everything else. Like, you know, this is web free. It's one of the most volatile financial markets
in history, period. So I set, you know, I've set like foundational expectations for myself.
I've set foundational expectations for myself.
And by doing so, it allows me to set expectations for the people that are in my community
and the individuals that I come into contact with.
I don't know if that kind of answered your question.
And there was actually a second part to it.
What was the second part?
The second part.
So what's the biggest thing you've learned?
So obviously, you talked about the challenges.
But what's the biggest thing you've learned? So obviously you talked about the challenges, but what's the biggest thing you've learned?
If you had to give advice to someone, you know, starting out again
or someone new, what advice would you give them?
The biggest piece of advice that I'd give anybody is stay grounded
and don't forget the individuals that were there for you.
That's the most important thing because i think like you know the limited
success and i said you know underlying limited because like you know you could be on top of the
world today and then some shit happens and like you know you're right at the bottom tomorrow
so i've seen individuals get like you know caught up and drunk on their own fucking juice
you know drunk up on on their limited success that
they have for like a few hours. And they forget the individuals that actually helped to get them
there. Like, you know, all of a sudden, they've got selective amnesia and stuff like that. So I'd
say, you know, definitely stay grounded. The individuals that have been there to support you
and inspire you when like, you know know you may have just been in your
conceptual phase those are individuals that you really want to double down with and like you know
build your relationships with you know because if somebody can fuck with you when you got nothing
do you know what i'm saying those are probably the same people that will fuck with you and support
you when you've got something if that makes sense 100 and i have to take i have to take
um something from your books you know when you said that when you were saying about um not
forgetting the people um i just have to you know so i don't i don't forget it i do have to say you
know shout out to website rough navy sensible mosher you guys are you know absolute legends
and we couldn't do this without you all.
So big shout out to you all from, you know, from Rockiverse.
And honestly, thank you.
Thank you for that answer because it's, I think it's as honest as it can be.
You know, that's what people need in this space.
You know, I do believe that for, you've got to counteract negativity with more positivity
it's not about you know
giving out the same energy that you've received
and the fact that you didn't give up you know
says a lot
not getting caught up in your own juice
I think that's advice we could take in
everyday life not just
for wet free but I think just trying
to stay as humble as possible
knowing that if you
can be up today and be down tomorrow is i mean it's one of the golden golden lessons of the world
isn't it i don't know if you've ever read um there's a really good book it's called the 12 uh
the 12 laws of the universe and it's just you know one of the most incredible books it's not long
there's an audiobook you know if anyone ever wants to to listen to it it's on, you know, one of the most incredible books. It's not long. There's an audio book, you know, if anyone ever wants to listen to it,
it's on Spotify and everything else.
And it talks about different laws and, you know, the law of attraction,
law of polarity and, you know, just different laws.
And one of those laws was literally in conjunction with what you were saying
just now about the fact that you can be up today and be down tomorrow.
And when you're down, you know, your community are the ones that you can be up today and be down tomorrow and when you're down
you know your your community are the ones that are going to bring you up and when you're up your
community are the ones that are going to celebrate you as well and it's just realizing that it's not
a it's also not a race it's a marathon so the marathon it takes a bit more training it takes
a lot more disappointment sometimes but at the end of the of the day you don't you know you don't really just go and run a marathon by yourself you run it with other people and it makes it a lot more disappointment sometimes. But at the end of the day, you don't really just go and run a marathon by yourself.
You run it with other people,
and it makes it a lot funner.
So I appreciate you for that.
That was awesome.
Yeah, fam, I got you.
All I got is your...
I mean, the only thing that you got in real life,
whether it be Web 2 or Web 3,
is your word.
Do you know what I'm saying?
And words are very fleeting
because I can say one thing today or web free is your word like do you know what i'm saying and words are very fleeting because
like you know i can you know i can say one thing today and do something completely different
tomorrow but you know true character is individuals that give you their truth and honesty like do you
know what i'm saying and you actually and you actually accepting them for being truthful and
honest like do you know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, let's continue to build, man.
Great insights.
Really appreciate you being here today and all that kind of stuff.
We've got a lot more people to, like, hear from and stuff.
We're off to a banger.
Not too sure if Keith is still with us.
I know that he's very busy.
Martek, I was literally just about to message you six hours ago
quote unquote nft uh kid smoking weed and buying nfts baby i'm telling you hey business as usual
man back in the office business as usual character man he's a character. Getting high and buying supply. That's what it is.
Sounds like a great night to me.
Wait, Geezer, when is your flight taking off, actually?
In about three and a half hours.
Okay, okay.
We can bug you for a bit.
All right, bet, bet, bet.
I do want to go to Laser.
Laser, what is up?
You had your hand up.
Guys, if you're not following Lazer, you're missing out.
He has, like, he's been doing this, like, imprinting with Lazers.
Literally, that's why his name is Lazer.
Done it for a couple keychains.
Done it for a couple winners on a few spaces we've been on.
So that's actually pretty dope, including this one.
So, yeah, Lazerman, what's up?
How you doing?
How you feeling today?
The cops are behind me. I'm in New new york you know driving through the highway i just want to say this see as you know i'm sorry
i didn't do nothing it's just the space the space is amazing what can i do um oh yeah i'm here
Are we done?
all right yes uh
All right.
Yes.
You guys heard it.
I got you in the fucking head right there, mate.
That's it, man.
They gave me the penalty for the lasers.
What can I say?
I got pulled.
No, no, no.
They left.
They left.
They said, no, I'm lasering them out.
I just want to say you shout out to this space.
This is actually like my meal space.
Without this space, the rest of the week is not here, right?
So you shout out to launch anything entity kit
Bartek you got monkey salamander. He's er
I hope I said your name correct in damn bubble everybody that's here
Also, where's rocket rocket power? I had a little bone to drive him about seven rocket powers and none of them were one-on-ones
And this guy later tells me those will be one one-on-one. So I'll pick on you later
But for now, I just want to say great great great space great talking just one thing i want to say
about community is that the people here are the example of what that definition of that title is
right because community is not only the fact that you're meeting people and you're buying projects
but the experience that you're bringing in, right?
Everybody has such an experience from the UK, from Australia, from New York, Jersey, wherever you are,
you're bringing an experience, you have IRL to folks that are listening, folks that are here,
you know, you're combining that, right? So you're going to learn something from each other, right?
Imagine Web3 only selling eggs, right? It's like going to the supermarket and you only pick up eggs,
you don't pick up nothing else, right? That's a kind of boring life you have, right?
But when you go there, you need to pick up whatever.
You need to pick up the essentials, the fruits and whatnot.
And this is what it is over here when you're building a community.
I think 101, you've got to be patient, like you said.
You've got to empty your cup.
You can't always come up with the full cup.
You've got to humble yourself like you guys narrate.
You've got to buy some guardians.
You've got to also do some monkeys, too too but and you gotta also like support the project use launch nft and see what you know that tool is
right we can't just be like i love launch nft and you never used it right you gotta use it you gotta
use the purpose ask questions and so again for people that are listening first time right here
these folks right here are the amazing leaders for your tomorrow, and they will help you.
And I'm telling you, from my experience, I wouldn't be here, well, not in New York City, but I mean here in Web3, it wasn't for these folks, right?
So honestly, man, just a shout out.
I'm repping the PFP.
You know me.
I changed it like 100 times a day.
Thank God I got the badge.
But, you know, I always like to do that.
But, you know, just love and support.
I'm going to keep buying.
I'm up to number 30, by the way, Martech.
I'm going to try to get 50.
You got 30 dogs?
Bro, you are highly protected.
30 dogs, bro.
You are highly protected.
That being said,
everyone go up to the Jumbotron.
It's the second pin tweet.
The Mint is live right now.
Unlaunch my NFT. The Blockchain Guardians Discord is popping. jumbotron it's the second pin tweet live the mint is live right now on launch my nft the blockchain
guardians discord is popping everything is powered by martet network so it's not just an nft collection
there's actually um foundation behind it we've got some great stuff coming for the future
community's already built so like you know we are taking the slow and organic approach approach to
um growing this community to growing this web business, because that's what it is.
We've got some IP plays that we're cooking up.
We're working on a small arcade.
We're giving away an NFT customizer tool to our community and all that kind of stuff, free of charge, I might say.
But, yeah, there's a strong foundation there.
You can check out my PFfp that's my one of
one guardian that's going to be um that's one of my forever joints and stuff like that but go up
in the jumbotron second pin tweet mint is live right now blockchain guardians own a piece of
history let's fucking go um who else we got let's know my genuine undead fam is in the house dim damn what's going on dim damn
hey my man what's popping fam gu in the house time to say yeah every time there's a gu in
in the audience as well always always man you know yeah um Yeah. Really like what I've been hearing till now. I'll just say hi to the loveliest lady in Web3, Saramanda, first of all. And then say hi to you, Keith, as well, and you, MarTech.
Shout out to GU. I still got my hat.
Yeah, you know.
Last year at NFT NYC.
I see you're a gu holder as well no i wish i wish soon i should probably get
one but i was saying that uh i've seen mason last year
finally got to meet him i mean he gave me a hat
the uh side event so i still got my nice yeah
hmm that's cool so yeah no um, just can react maybe to everything I've been listening and hearing.
Yeah, totally agree on those community building. That's definitely important and community,
building a community is not just being in a Discord server and just chatting with anyone talking about the weather is the people you meet and the people you hang out with when you don't need it, but just because you feel like it.
And that's really important. That's how you build your core, a close cycle.
Who are you going to hang out with? Who are you going to build with? Who are you going to hang out with in real life events as well?
That's really important as well.
I mean, many, many, many and most people are shy and don't feel like, yeah, going to others.
And in real life events is really hard for them.
And like with my friend Bubble, for example, we've been going to ARL events,
Web3 events and side events especially.
We're really good at collecting side events during big Web3 events.
We go to multiple because we want to meet as many people as possible
because we know the value you can get from meeting a lot of people.
And I mean, the proportion of great people is just even better.
And then Bubble is a great example.
For example, we met like two years ago.
I felt like we've been knowing each other for, I don't know, forever.
I mean, the connection just started straight away.
And that's something that doesn't happen every day
had a few yeah four years four years in Waitry now and yeah I met a few but not
many like Bubba for sure and that's people that kind of people you need in
your community when you're building a project. You need people who love to be together,
to hang out together, to exchange ideas together.
Because who knows, even as a founder,
you might actually even pick up some ideas from your community.
Because those people are not even there
just because they need to.
They just want to be there.
And they want to be there.
And they're even willing to help.
So, like, yeah.
I got another friend as well i can mention
as well in the in the audience um with father for example he's part of the biggest og or for
loot and glory for example which is a game way three game and now these guys played together
for years before on web 2 games and other web 20 games as well. They've been, yeah, exchanging and, yeah,
building together with the founder as well, for example.
And then some ideas actually in the game
were just ideas shared by the OGs,
just because they were together hanging out together
and sharing ideas and experience together.
That's the tight community type you want to have
in your project.
And that's actually the best heart
of a community you can get because then you can build around it and uh yeah community is everything
they they they mention it all the time in gsk for example as well um just get out from blue
that same thing that's that's part of the core of the whole project i mean community
above everything if you don't have the community you can't go nowhere especially in web3 that's
what makes difference between with three and with two and uh yeah and you never know who you can
meet and um what you can get from it even in what to part i mean I met people who were looking for moving to Switzerland for example
and I'm in real estate and two of them actually I'm already helping them to find their dream home
in Switzerland. And we just met in web3 events. Those guys were thinking about it, but knowing someone they know in Wet3 and
being able to meet them in real life is definitely like adding a big layer to it
because they feel like, okay, I know that guy, I met him somewhere in a Wet3 space.
Yeah, Wet3 events or whatever. And then, yeah, I know I can relate to someone. I
know who he is and what he's doing.
And then, yeah, you can meet in real life as well again on the local pub.
And this is something you can't expect at the beginning in a community.
You never know what can happen from that.
And that's not calling like extracting something from it.
It's just something natural that comes from it and uh yeah
these these kind of things only happen in wet three for sure like some of my best friends
on wet three are even people i trust more than than friends i met and that i've been knowing for
like 30 years so yeah don't fade way three don't fight community community is everything
i think that's a fantastic take man interesting that you're in real estate
very interesting that you're in real estate i'm actually in real estate too um
you're part of your twin right there out here in atlanta yes yes yes so one of the many other
things i know you are in real estate man man. I've been knowing it for years.
I just never mentioned it, but I know definitely.
And I can relate to that. I can, yeah.
Even if I didn't know it, I sort of call it, feel it.
The way you express yourself, the way you communicate with people,
the way you put people first before
everything else right the way you understand it you help them to express themselves this is
something really important especially when you help people to find their dream home exactly and
so that's something natural you have or you don't have it you can't build it you can't create it
you have it or you don't right and you definitely do have it
right right so i definitely like feel like like that's yeah it's normal and i i felt it like
yeah when i knew that you were in real estate i was like yeah of course it's obvious and the thing
is it's like and like you know we're just going to digress a little bit but i think it's really
important to the topic that we're speaking of.
Like, you know, playing the role of a real estate agent, like, you know, not only am I a real estate agent, but I have an investment company.
I invest in properties and all that kind of good stuff as well.
But we have what's called a fiduciary responsibility.
And that means that we're not just looking out for our interests our interests do not
come first we are responsible for individuals that are going to probably make the biggest purchase of
their life in excess of like 500 maybe a million dollars and we have a responsibility to guide them
through the process and help them to make the best financial decision that they can because buying a house is
it's an insane responsibility so like you know we have to put our clients first we have to put
their needs first and that's probably why you could kind of like you know zone in and like you
know understand the philosophies that i employ when i show up in the space. Because I put my people
first. I put what their goals are first before myself. It's not about what I can get out of the
deal. It's how I can provide somebody with enough comprehensive information so that they can make a
financial decision or not make a financial decision. Cause I'll tell one of my buyer clients or my seller clients walk away from
that deal.
It doesn't matter how much commission on a $500,000 house.
I'm going to make $15,000.
I'll tell them to walk away.
I'd rather not make money in a situation where I know that it's going to
compromise the integrity of my client.
That's called a fiduciary responsibility.
Back over to you though then then yeah totally totally agree yeah definitely people first and especially
conclude that a deal with someone you want to feel happy for them and proud about it as well
it as well for helping them um making that um that dream come true um so yeah i mean the money
that's fine if you don't get it you better just cancel it and just you're gonna make the deal
later on with someone else right so definitely better be happy with it and be proud about it
and i'll just add something and i'm pretty sure you might confirm. I'd like to distract something like an idea or legend about,
like, for example, rich people or very rich people
are not doing it with their heart anymore
when they have multiple properties, for example.
I've been taking care of properties for very rich people,
for very rich people, very famous and rich people, for example.
very famous and rich people, for example.
And even them, sometimes they got to me like, you know, I know I have money.
Okay.
I've been building businesses.
I've been making money for years.
But you know what?
Having a house or just a chalet like in ski resort in Switzerland,
even though I can buy any house I want anywhere in the world,
it was a dream for me.
And it's still a dream for me.
And every time I wake up in my chalet surrounded by snow,
I'm like, wow, this is another step.
And you're like, you feel like hearing that from someone
hearing that from someone who can buy many houses even every month,
who can buy many houses even every month,
I feel like, okay, so I didn't help him on just buying a new asset.
I just helped him on finding and realize a dream,
even though he can realize dreams every day.
But this one was special.
He'd been thinking about it back in his head for like decades.
And even them actually have the same feeling.
Most of them have the same feeling.
Finding their dream home, even overseas.
It's still a dream.
And yeah, don't think that they don't do it with their heart.
They're just banging on it, just to mention or just to show off.
I mean, of course, some of them do. But believe me, most of them still do it with their heart.
And that's a big surprise when you come from a family with no money and stuff and you hear that,
you're like, that's good. It makes you feel even better. I feel like, okay, so even them
actually have a heart, first of all. But I mean, still do it with your heart.
And it's just realized dreams.
And when you help them, I'd say it takes off the whole fence of money difference or whatever.
I mean, it's just a human in front of you just sharing to you that he just realized a dream.
And thanking you for helping for that.
Yeah, man.
Definitely appreciate it.
Definitely appreciate it, man.
Great conversation today.
Welcome, everyone.
Building Communities 101, hosted by Launch My NFT, co-hosted by me, Martech Networks,
and with our special guest today, the NFT kid, Keith Berry.
Wow. Some great insights great insights man i really enjoy
having these meaningful conversations sometimes we digress a little bit because it doesn't
necessarily always have to be about web free um you know we get the opportunity to discuss business
and just day-to-day life and most importantly of all we get to hear objective opinions from other individuals because
sometimes it's not just about what you think it's it's always great to have the opportunity
to get objective opinions and um tap into the mindset of others as well that's what helps us
grow but um back over to salamander and then we're going to keep this one moving retweet the room
though let's get some more people in here we haven't even heard from ali yo mark feel like that i feel like what you
said every time you say retweet the room the tone and like the same words is like in my head rent
free and like it's just it's smart tech effect that one too that one too i swear it lives front
free in my head um but i'm slipping those out i'm flipping. It shouldn't be rent-free. I should be charged.
I should be charged.
I should be charged.
Yeah, we're up now.
No, I was going to say, we had a bunch of, so this is, we've been kind of pushing more spaces throughout the week this past year.
And yeah, we kind of had like a little mixture of everything.
So we do kind of like, you know, communities, people, and we have three projects.
We actually had monkeys on a live stream, which was dope.
And we had geezer as well on a live stream, which is really exciting as well.
But yeah, I mean, a couple weeks ago, we had the music peeps up here.
Like, I don't know if you guys know, but we are kind of the only launchpad that initiates the MP4 NFTs.
So people can actually launch their music on there, which is pretty dope.
So I know we keep touching on the music side, but they have a crazy community.
I didn't even know.
They're doing stuff in New York City as well for NFT NYC.
So it's just really cool seeing people outside of the walls of the internet
and like actually connecting.
But I'm gonna keep this one rolling.
I think we got our last hand here with Bubble.
And then if anyone wants to chime in,
feel free to like, this is a pretty open space.
I love hearing different sides of communities
because you could be building the community as a founder,
you could be building the community as a community manager,
or you can be part of the community building it with the project, right? And everything's a different aspect of all these things that make it really valuable. So we're going to go to Bubble. Bubble, I feel like Bubble and I are glued to two pieces in a pod today. We've been on every space. What's up, Bubble? How are you doing today?
space. What's up? What are you doing today? Yo, yo. Yes, we've been quite a bit together today.
Hopefully this continues on. Passionate people, your tribe, your frequency connects.
We could talk about that a little bit. It's been a very wholesome space.
I've been already like, and you know, we talked about the notebook and the other
one of the spaces that we were, I think it was like yesterday or two days ago.
My notebook is like full of notes right now,
full of questions.
So many things I already wanted to like respond to Rocket
and stuff like that.
But then DimDam came in and, you know,
his beautiful human and, you know, shouted out
and such a great friend that I met.
And I also met DSK through him as well,
what he already mentioned.
And you forgot Oz in the crowd that you also know,
which we also talked about.
We've got multiple other beautiful humans here
that I know personally.
I've got Quan here.
We've got some other amazing people.
And also in the space in Salamander,
meeting her in person.
It was three.
And that's amazing.
And the different contexts of what's being brought here
is multifaceted.
And I love what you said, Alamond, you talked about the different variety of perspectives
that we're getting here from different points and roles.
And also from the different goals from the audience of what they're looking for and what
kind of answers are they looking for and actually being activated to come and ask questions
Are they looking for an actually being activated to come and ask questions and making this an open space?
and making this an open space.
It really holds and really is a part of the nature of being a community builder, listening to everybody,
and also knowing how to manage it and navigate the conversation.
So that's beautiful.
So there are a few questions because we're talking about building communities 101.
We talked about being direct. We talked communities 101. We talked about being direct.
We talked about challenges.
We talked about multiple different perspectives.
I do have a few questions in line, but I don't want to go on a full monologue.
But we talked about community over everything.
And I've built communities.
I'm super all for communities.
I'm super all for communities.
But yet in Web3, to what extent do we always, can we say that we always need a community?
Because we could talk about, yes, we can, if we can challenge a definition of community
and saying, okay, a team and a combined team is a big community, great.
But if we're talking about a B2B business right now, that the different clients shouldn't really interact with each other.
That's a very, very unique type of community and even challenges the idea of a community because they're not in the same room.
They don't even have a way to communicate with each other.
And it challenges the definition.
But yet those have a place in the space.
There are also people here that like businesses that may be a little bit different and
they don't have that element of community and that brings up to the question also when do we build a
community where is the right place to build a community when is the right time to activate
community and is it by default do we need one so i'll leave that question down to the pub to the
speakers to um to martech if you want to go on that one we could talk about the salamander and Leave that question down to the speakers, to Martek.
If you want to go on that one, we can talk about the salamander.
And I've got a few other questions.
If nobody has any, I'll just chime in.
Everyone's picking on me today, man.
Why do I have to answer every – what the heck is going on here?
Let it burn in.
Oh, thank the Lord.
No, I'm just joking.
I'm going to get – I got you, Martek. I do love this question because I think in 2002, I was in 2021, like we all got PTSD.
But it was very JPEG based, right?
Like it was like this is going up.
Like this is a community here.
Everybody who joined a Discord was like, yo, this is a community, right?
And over the years, we have so many different things now.
It's like we have syndicates
we have dows we have tools we have networking like communities right and i actually feel like
the word community is just very diversified if that makes sense because like even at launchpad
nft like we are a launchpad and like we're not reliant on just like you know the nft sales and
then people being community, like people actually just
generally in the space, right? They enjoy Web3, they enjoy buying and selling NFTs. And it's
actually really cool, because this is this is actually definition of community, right? Like
people, people are meeting each other, like outside of the walls. And I think it's kind of
cool. With the perspective of like, projects that kind of tool based i think i think it's
harder for sure because um you know for example get grass is an is a deep in community right but
more people like people you should see the farmers in there dude like those people go in like this
guy's got like the antenna for the like it's a whole it's a whole can of worms for deep in but
like they're all just D-Pin people.
Like, they don't care about NFTs.
They don't care about crypto as much.
They just want to farm everything D-Pin related.
So I think it's really depending on what it's, like,
what is the definition of the community?
What do people want to offer?
I hope that kind of answers your question there, Bubble.
Yeah, to an extent.
To an extent, it was to intrigue also the
thought of the thinking about different perspectives right and i just think that the
look when you talked about community having multiple different definitions i totally agree
and i think that we need to a little bit bring it a little bit down into a definition
a little bit at least if there's multiple definitions, so that information
is there for other community builders that come in that can learn from these understandings
from the insights. And definitely, I think that Web3 challenged what community is compared to
before and COVID-19, the combination together, and shot it to a multi a multi transformed it was like an evolved it is
evolution of commuting where we are right now so i definitely think that we could talk about this
possibly after i'm already creating like now a series of possibly starting to do something like
that and explaining the different types when it's right to do that and i think that it's also
fascinating that i don't think that it's talked enough about is the challenge of building the community from zero to, let's say, 500 people
of early beta testers and stuff of that sort. It's very individual, needing to know most of the core
members really early on, and then maybe developing community from 500 and scaling it up to 3,000,
and from, let's say, 3,000, 25,,000 and 25,000 plus, right? For the sake
of it, each one requires a different strategy, a different direction. Each one is a different
requirement, different budgets, different responsibilities. And I think that that's
also something when we talk about community is expanding on what community means and the
different types and the different approaches
to approach this as a builder, as a founder, as a strategist, and even as a community member,
knowing how to find themselves within that place.
I love that. I'm going to start attacking Martek. Martek, I know he's thinking, like,
he's out of his chair. He't wait to reply but i do i i
think i still do this do think to this day bubble that community is very vague like you can have a
you know a discord community of like 50 people of your friends that's a community right and i just
think it's super i i don't really have like an answering answer to it but i know that it just
depends where you are and what you want out of things, right? For me, I really like joining.
I'm a huge fan of like collecting PFPs, like anime, like Final Boss.
It was a cool one.
Yeah, I got one actually from Monkeys as well, which is pretty dope that I'm holding.
And I'm going to look, I'm actually looking to find a, I'm trying to snag a nice one
for actually from Blockchain Guardian.
So it just depends what you want, right?
And sometimes I join communities to, you know, buy sell the nft just because i'm like yo roi
a yo but it's it's all different right like it's it's whatever you want from it so but yeah i mean
bubble what is your community like and i love to kind of hear that then we're gonna go i think dim
dam has his hand up again uh and then guys guys, I think we'll probably wrap up here.
This is actually a fire conversation.
Usually we're kind of crazy in here.
Everyone's, like, talking over each other in a good way.
But we're kind of settled today.
We're edumacated.
So let's go back to Bubble.
Yeah, talking about my community, multiple communities.
Right now, I'm helping right now.
Like, for example, DSK and advising a little bit. on the different, as the project, as the business, as the community, right, these things
are all combining together. And I think that we need to still separate them. And that will help
us improve as a space. And the communities that I built were in the world of gaming. And that's 26,
2017 to 2020, building a positive gaming environment that is not attached to a specific
influencer, which is a lot of these gaming communities are based on influencers. We talk
about that. But politely, I'll jump to another question, which I'd love an answer to, and then
we'll pass on to DimDim, is what are the misconceptions, challenges, or gaps
do you face when working with founders as a community builder?
Not always the founder is the community builder itself.
And I find it personally,
there's multiple different challenges that can be approached.
But I would love to hear your guys' experience.
I think that almost every builder here or community builder
has faced that specific challenge.
And even if it's not, if you were the founder and you built the community, maybe what were
the challenges explaining this to other people as part of the team about the importance,
about how to build, how to strategize, how to plan, understanding the terminology.
So that's my question.
And with that, I'm done for now.
My man is pontificating today.
Yeesh.
I don't even know where to begin to like tap in and answer that.
I think Monkeys actually has a fire community.
He's got you, Maritak.
He's got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you, Martek. He's got you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got you.
I got you, brother.
Let's go with the Nino.
Yeah, I was interested to tap in about that, to answer that question or to give my take on how I've built that community from scratch.
with literally an iPad and an Apple pencil and a bit of my brain and, you know, a lot of my heart
and no other team members, no other people along the way that didn't scam us, you know,
in the year before I call like the pre... We obviously had a year wind up to building monkeys,
then six months of serious community building. Once I'd gotten rid of a couple of scammers that were leading me in the wrong direction and educated myself on the best way to
build and the best way to get a mint over the line, basically, and to build a community,
it became really evident that the people who were already in my community, the early adopters,
there's really two different types of people that you attract early on. You attract a bunch of DGents who are going to end up being really big holders because
they're the ones who are doing it. They're the ones who are out there doing their own research.
They see a project, they see a community, they'll jump in there, see what it's all about,
approach the founder, see if they're approachable, and make the decision whether they're
ape into a community that way.
And then you get a bunch of people, the other side of it, the very other end of the spectrum, who really aren't going to be buying into your project.
They're just coming on board because you knew you.
They know there's going to be a bunch of giveaways and they're there for those giveaways.
It's what you need to do in the middle.
So it's the middle group of people that you then need to attract into your community.
And by leveraging the good ones in your community, you know, those people that have come in early, what we did with
Monkey Labs is we started a core group of people. There were six people who were our ambassadors.
I wanted to pick people within the community already who'd come around, who'd already been
in there, you know, running some giveaways who were kind of active and interested, but they also had growing Twitter accounts. So anyone who
had 4,000 followers or more, we then made an ambassador and they started pushing Monkeys
posts. Between us, we got average, you know, I know if Asgog, for example, one of my most,
my right-hand ambassador, my lead ambassador, if you like,
his account grew from $4,000 to $8,000 in a matter of two months.
And he also was responsible for growing Monke's account
from around $2,000 to up to $5,000 from mint date.
So, I mean, those metrics aren't something
that we were obsessing over.
We knew that the community was really interested
in the art
from the sneak peeks.
But then it was only after we'd minted and that community
had really filtered down that we saw people who were more active,
people who, and a lot of them are in this space right now.
I mean, it's the active people within those communities
and within your community who reach out, who ask questions, who you then rely on to answer your questions.
You know, hey, what is the direction for the project?
They can help you answer those questions from a buyer's perspective.
And that's really important for a founder to listen to their community and find out what direction they want to take it in.
listen to their community and find out what direction they want to take it in.
But to synthesize down very quickly, what I'm trying to get at is the best way to build
that community is from within, is to listen to, firstly, listen to your holders, but then
listen to what else they want to bring to the table.
There's a lot of people who'll jump in with fan art, with gifts, with all of those kinds
of things.
And they're priceless for founders like me.
You know, we've got so much on so much to do
and especially as the artist you know I wanted to make all of those I was making all of those gifts
making all that advertising material and when the community starts to do that for you well that's a
win-win you know that helps me out it helps them grow their accounts so you know that's what
community is about it's about coming together and helping each other grow not just you guys helping
my account grow or me helping your account grow it's's not about that at all. It's about everyone working together,
everyone plowing in and doing a little bit. It's like the way we build businesses in Web3
is we sell a lot of shares, for example, as NFTs for a small amount of money, and that builds
enough income for us to build our businesses and realize our dreams. It's the same with community. You build one person at a time.
The more that you build, the stronger you become as a community, the more people you bring into
the community, and the more people believe in your mission.
I thank you, Aura. I thank you.
I thank you.
I was batfingering that.
By your take, because I think that...
Well, you can't...
I always have to start with...
I have a question.
Yes.
My question is...
Hold on.
Do you say it's a holy fuck
if I fuck your mother upside down during Easter?
All right. Let's get rid of that one.
Yeah, he's gone real quick.
He's gone real quick.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, when I saw that name, I'm like, I don't think we want to hear what this channel is.
What if I punch your mom in the face right in front of you, fam?
How are you going to feel about that, little bitch?
Wow.
You gone.
All right, who's next? Wow. You're gone. All right.
Who's next?
Keep going, Dino.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, for Monkees, you know, it's about the people that have come from the community that have brought so much to the project and will continue to help it grow, continue to keep it on the right path and continue to keep it, you know, keep it moving in the right direction without the community.
And, you know, there are many, many different types of communities,
but really, you know, web three community, I believe, you know,
has come together mainly around the technology.
It's come around the tools.
It's come around particularly Discord and X spaces as well,
but, you know, particularly in Discord, you know,
one of the biggest parts of any NFT project is the Discord.
How busy it is, not necessarily how busy it is,
but what you can do there.
Discord should be a place you can come and win prizes,
get some news, vibe with some people, drop some fan art,
look at some other art.
They can become places that you can hang out for a lot of the day,
and there are some communities that do different things really, really well. If you're an alpha hunter, there are some great communities out there, you know, they cook every morning in
the, you know, they're talking at the charts, and they're talking about trading. And, you know,
if that's for you, that's great. There's other communities that are more about the art. And if
that's what you're more involved in, if that's what you like, and that's what I love for monkeys,
you know, we've got all of the, you've got all of the usual stuff for an NFT project,
but really I love art.
That's where my passion is.
So people who come to me with art, with ideas, with fan art,
people, artists who come in and say,
hi, I'd love to create a one-on-one for you.
I love that kind of energy, and that's what I really want to promote in the space.
Same with creators like LaserAce.
I don't know if you know, like if you look in the Monkey Lab shop, we've got some products from LaserAce.
He was a monkey for a long time, and within the community, we were looking for makers.
So we realized LaserAce could make these really cool laser engraved dog tags, wallet inserts, keychains, all sorts of stuff.
So we grabbed Laser.
We put Monkeys logo.
We've got a product now with LaserAce.
We call the whole product range made by Monkeys.
But anyone who's a maker within the Monkeys community,
I want to support you.
I want to promote you.
With brands like Unify coming up, which is a gamified affiliate
marketing platform, which Monkeys and Martech, both very proud to be part of.
That is going to be a game changer for rewarding our holders for helping us market our future products, whether it's NFT collections, whether it's merchandise, whether it's the retail line that we've got, all sorts of products.
Everyone wins, and that's what community is about.
If you're just building community like,
hey, come and join our Discord.
We've got an NFT project, and we're going to treat you like garbage.
That's not real.
That's not the community that most people are looking for nowadays.
People are looking for a community where they can come in,
they can be rewarded, they can feel at home.
And if they have something to offer, they feel like that voice is heard.
And if it's really cool, we'll absolutely, you know, help you succeed as well in your side hustle, in your business.
We can impart knowledge.
We can put your products on our store, all sorts of things.
You know, that's what true community is, listening to your community, working with them and building with them.
That's really important.
Bro, he said building with them. That's really important. Bro, he said building with them. I think this, like, that was like a banger. All these takes
have been banger takes. And I just want to say shout out to everybody. Absolutely everybody.
If you're a listener, speaker, speculating, whatever it is, this has been a really fire
conversation because you don't have to be the
founder to build the community. You can like you are part of the community as well. And all the
voices matter. And I think this is actually probably one of my favorite spaces that we had.
But yeah, I mean, I thank you so much for monkeys. Thank you so much. Geek Teaser Bubbles for coming
out today. I know you're catching a flight. So for Geezer, so I don't, you know, shout it to you.
Say flight there. Dim Dan, you got the last hand there and i'm gonna pass it to mark tech with
some words and then we'll kick it off with some bangers and yeah i mean happy hump day
yeah thanks um just yeah i'll be i'll be quick i really really liked what i heard from monkeys
I'll be quick.
I really, really liked what I heard from Monkees.
Yeah, I can feel the energy.
And you remind me of the founder of For Loot and Glory
with the love and the passion
and especially being ready and pushing your community
to share ideas and come up with ideas and thoughts and stuff.
And you're asking for it. It And like you're asking for it.
Sounds like you're asking for it and then encouraging them
to come to you and share ideas and build together.
And yeah, that really definitely reminds me to it.
So I'm actually about to grab a monkey.
I'll let you guess which hat he has on the head.
Well, there's a flat cap out there, I was going to say.
I know.
I really appreciate that.
That's really, you know, it's really nice to hear, you know, such positive feedback.
I've got goosebumps.
Thanks, buddy.
That's what makes difference with all the founders out there.
I mean, you're open to anything from your community,
and that's what community should be.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, it helps me.
I don't understand why any founder wouldn't listen to their community
because, you know, I'm sitting here.
I have late nights at the moment,
particularly looking for the direction for zombies,
how we're going to be rewarding people.
Zombies are going to have a big drip staking platform.
We're looking at using a lot of different tokens in there from the partners that we've got.
And again, I have two communities.
It's beautiful.
I have the holder community, the monkeys, the tribe, but I also have this incredible group support network of people like Martech, Lunadols, GOTM Labs, Flux Inc., providing our utilities for monkeys, you know.
And they're not just your regular utility suppliers like in the old days.
You know, I was going to be working with one of those old school utility suppliers.
They were going to charge an absolute fortune and give me absolutely nothing in return, really.
And it was going to take them six months to build a staking site.
But I went a different route with these new suppliers who are just fantastic.
They built the staking site already before and presented it to me on day two after we'd minted out on Launch by NFT.
And they are the most incredible providers of utility, but also customer support.
You know, just like LaunchMeNFT in the background has incredible support for, you know, anyone
who's launching a collection, you know, from the how to get the art layers going, how to
get the collection going, any problems they're going to sort out straight away.
I feel like I have the same backing from this other community of incredible founders out
there.
You know, I can reach out to, like, this enormous network now
of a dozen, two dozen founders and ask questions.
Hey, how did you build this? Who did you use for this?
You know, we don't want to copy each other,
but emulation in this space is something that is really important,
you know, and it's certainly no, you know, I see it as cultural,
you know, just the way, you know it's it's i see it as cultural you know just the way you know
laser eyes in a um in a pfp isn't just in one collection and then that collection is like well
you're using laser eyes no that's part of the lexicon it's part of the culture laser eyes are
part of um what we've built as a culture we should be proud of like proud of laser eyes and it's the
same with the way that we build with community you know we should be proud of staking decksaking decks. We should be proud of trade stores. We should be proud of loot boxes. We
should be proud of, you know, those utilities that we bring to Web3, which bring engagement for our
holders, rewards for our holders. You know, we're building these little mini ecosystems. And then
the community really comes, I find, when you've got your little bubble and you let that expand a
little bit into somebody else's bubble. And that bubble pops immediately into a bubble twice the size
and then you find another community, then pop, you pop another bubble, you know, and
then all of these bubbles come together until we have this huge, beautiful ecosystem and
I feel that's what all of us together are, you know, really working towards.
So, man, I appreciate the kind words and welcome to the Monkey Tribe.
Hit me up in the um
in dms in discord and we'll have a chat
jeez community building go crazy on these launch nmt spaces i love that i love this i actually met
martech and monkeys angie i actually met all of you guys mostly from here um and it's
dope so this has been really fun and exciting i love seeing people here and monkeys i'm gonna
have to dm you because i believe i'm actually still going to um to consensus toronto so if
you're not going to the actual conference i'll get you into the side events so it should be kind
of fun to network there. Yeah, yeah.
Love to.
I made up with you there.
That was going to be awesome.
All right.
Oh, yo, what's up, Dup?
I see Dup in the crowd there.
Martek, I'm going to pass it back to you.
We'll end it off and put a little bit of tunes here.
And yeah, it's Wednesday.
Holy crap.
That went by really fast.
Man, another flipping dope space, man.
Another dope space. And again, as i always say we don't
necessarily just have to talk about nfts i think the topics that we've covered today
very very important and uh most importantly of all listening to everyone else's perspective um
that that is absolutely priceless absolutely priceless um wow we've got we've actually got my artist in the house metapiggy
what's going on i don't know if he can speak but um big up metapiggy he is the artist behind the
blockchain guardians he doesn't show up on stage much he's my secret weapon stay away from him
everybody get back get back motherfuckers that's my guy but um yeah we're still cooking man i mean we're still
generating art there's a whole bunch of stuff that we're still doing a little bit of a digression
but um yeah if you go if you guys go up into the jumbotron uh i think it's the third pin
sweep back you can see some of the blockchain guardians art we are minting live now on launch my nft and going back
to the topic of community building um that's something that i actually specialize in um you
know bringing people and projects together and just creating these kind of like cool networking
environments where people have the opportunity um to get to know each other and like you know meet
new people as we've seen in evidence in this space
today but um this saturday i'm hosting another poker tournament um in conjunction with green
visor gang they're over there on ethereum links to world series of poker the last one that we had
was absolutely phenomenal 16 projects um sponsored the space and the tournament
um and again all those projects were from martet networks from my network and um we gave away 16
prizes man i think we gave away like three thousand dollars worth of prizes the the the
space running up to the tournament it was about 600 600 to 800 people. It's just going to be another dope event.
So if there's any projects,
and I'm putting this out there exclusively right now in this space,
if there's any projects that want to participate and sponsor a prize in the
prize pool and also get featured,
get some mentions and all that and bring your community together
to um play some poker with some other cross-chain communities the opportunity is now send me a
fucking dm or jump in my discord and open up a ticket the spaces for sponsorships are very
limited so far we have got one two three four 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. We've got 12 sponsors so far.
And I am going to cap that out maybe at like 15, 16, maybe 20.
Yeah, I think I'll probably cap it out at 20 sponsors.
That's 20 different projects coming together.
I don't know how I do it all the time.
The mega spaces that I usually have like 20, 25 projects,
they run for like a few hours
i think the last one we gave away like five thousand dollars in prizes but that is another
way to build community don't just think about what you can do for your community but think about how
you can bring value to other communities and like elevate their purpose it's like i said like you
know when you put others before yourself that is not only
gratifying but it creates more opportunities like you know not just for self we have to be selfless
um not only in web3 but in life we have to be selfless do you know i mean some people are
selfish because like you know they're only out there promoting what they can get out of any given
situation. But like, you know, you create so many more opportunities when you're selfless and like,
you know, you use your talents, resources and everything else to empower the next person.
That also increases your network. So yeah, man, big shit, big vibes, man. Big vibes. So
definitely big vibes. Definitely another banger space looking
forward to the one next week i mean who knows what the topic is going to be next week but i'm sure
that it's going to be really really fucking engaging and most of all interesting these
aren't botted spaces fam these are like you know it's totally organic it's open door we just don't
want any bullshit like that guy that came up.
What did he wake up thinking about this morning? Oh, I'm going to spread negativity and talk about
your mom. All right, bro. Get a fucking life. Get a life. He want to talk about mama. He want to talk
about mama. The guy's got issues. He want to talk about mama. The guy's got issues guys got issues like yo i mean what is your mindset like and the thing
is like you know and i'm not even going to put a negative spin on it this is just reality
there are there are miserable people on the planet
there are miserable people out there they they you you know, they have negative, they wake up feeling negative.
They're disappointed with themselves and they want to take that disappointment and they want
to make a pity party out of it and like, you know, spread that negativity. It's crazy. Focus
on the positive, man. Focus on the good. You know, speak words of inspiration.
You know what I mean?
Speak words of creativity.
Speak words of empowerment so that somebody in the space might get a message and say, you know what, I believe in what that guy's saying.
Let me make a difference.
Like, you know, we're not here just to make money.
We're here.
We have the opportunity to inspire each other to greatness because that's what I'm here.
I wake up every morning and I want to be great.
That's it.
I'm not waiting for anybody to tell me that you can be great.
No, that is my mindset.
I want to be great.
We can all adopt that mindset and we could all make a difference in not just our lives,
but in the lives of other individuals.
I want to kind of like, you know, land it it right there let me get something queued up Sal give us a couple of couple of
more few closing words I'm gonna get something queued up and then like yeah
