Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You recognize or step aside.
I'm bringing you facts.
No chasing rounds over you.
This is my life.
I call it shot.
Responsible for all the choices that I make.
That I make.
Even when I do the opposite.
No mistakes.
Yeah, I really do this consciously.
I'm off to it.
No regrets.
I like my lessons.
Now I focus on the better me.
It's just to me, live for something or you die for nothing, let your choices set you free.
Them know they tell it man, always I do me.
Nothing can't they leave my life for best way, when I know one day we all gon' go down six feet.
We are more as if we're from wrong now and we get conscious, don't deceive yourself you're not a baby.
Until you realize that you can elevate yourself, you keep running round in circles.
Choice is just to me, will you win or will you lose?
Are you gon' lie or tell the truth to yourself in whatever you do?
Choice is just to me, live for something or you die for nothing, let your choices set you free.
Them know they tell it man, always I do me.
Nothing can't they leave my life for best way, when I know one day we all gon' go down six feet.
Yo, what's up buddies, we're gonna run another track real quick, but before we do, please retweet the room and tag some buddies.
Let's get some more people in here.
And if I'm not emoting for the next two minutes, it's because I've got to go to the kitchen and grab a beer.
Let's fucking grow.

Boomies, what it do, Alma Talk, what's new?
Yo, guys, that was D-Gen Hours, minting now by our boys, I'm sorry, not our boys, our buddies, a day in music.
I just minted a copy of my track last night, wanted to throw a little shout-out there before we started our show.
But, buddies, this is week 55 of Building With Buddies.
Thank you guys all for rollin' up.
I feel weird doing a shout-out, because I always start the show the same way.
And this week, I'm like, alright, I'm gonna shout-out the song that we're opening the space with.
And it messed up my jam, it messed up my rhythm.
So, you know what, I'm done supporting the homies.
Next week, we're gonna run that track, and you guys are just gonna have to guess if it's minting or not, or who's singing it, because it's messing up my flow.
Guys, this is week 55 of Building With Buddies.
I am your host, Spector, coming to you guys live on another Wednesday night.
Thank you guys all for pullin' up.
So, we've got an especially fun show for you guys tonight.
But before we get into it, I want to say what's up to my co-host, my co-founder, Mr. NF Turetz.
What is up, fam? How are you doing tonight?
Yo, what's up? What's up, man?
Yo, speaking of being thrown off track, you know, I had this whole thing prepared when I was gonna come upstage.
I thought you were gonna like this little bit I was about to do with my dogs just throwing me the heck off right now.
She's just got the zoomies running back and forth.
I don't know, man.
I think she's more excited to see the Buddies than I am, believe it or not.
Wednesday, my fam.
I'd give a shout-out to the whole room, but I think we're at, you know, a little past capacity for that one at this point.
So, we're not gonna do that, but I'll give a shout-out to the projects in the night.
Yo, we got the Knorr, AF Dow, we got Hycoon, and of course we got Stoner D-Gen in the house with Lily and several other projects.
Yo, it's gonna be an awesome night.
But, dude, doing well, man.
Doing well.
Schizo dog on the loose over here, but otherwise, just pop for a Wednesday with the Buddies.
How about you?
Dude, I'm doing well, fam.
And I do not blame you at all for not shouting out the room.
I was wondering if you were gonna do it or not.
And I'm looking down and I'm like, all right, I see over 16, maybe 20 people.
That's too many, in my humble opinion.
That's too many.
We're gonna be here all night.
You know, that's one of the problems with our growing.
You know what I mean?
Like, we always say, let's fucking grow.
You know, we want a network.
But then the network gets too big and we're like, all right, we gotta leave you all behind.
I'm just kidding.
We don't leave you all behind.
But we can't shout you all out.
And that's what I meant to say.
But, yo, it's been a good Wednesday.
You might bring in some, well, we'll bring Lily up.
I don't know these other two characters.
Oh, 420 Life, I think, is Sully.
That's Sully.
This is a good sign.
I don't know you.
Sorry, fam.
Sorry, I can't multitask, guys.
All right, I'm just gonna leave everything else at Tourette's.
I'm just gonna do the speaking because, as you guys know, I can't handle that.
But, yo, what is up, guys?
It's been a good Wednesday.
Tourette's, I hear your, you know, I heard your puppy in the background.
I know you texted me last night and said that you had the puppy training school.
I hope that went well.
You know, I think we can deal with a little bit of barking in the background.
You know, if you guys, if that's a problem for you guys, we'll have Tourette's post a picture of this puppy and you'll instantly feel bad.
You'll be like, wow, I was criticizing this cute little creature.
And then, well, it'll be like reverse psychology guilt you.
You know what I mean?
So, I think you might need to drop out.
That's how you gotta do it, Tourette's.
You gotta be tactful out here.
You gotta make the people, you know.
Yeah, there's a strategy here.
But, yo, it's been a good Wednesday.
I really haven't been in many spaces today, which is unlike me.
But, I think I saved my energy because I'm feeling good.
And by good, I mean I drank a coffee like 30 minutes ago, like a psychopath.
I don't know what I was thinking.
And I'm really high.
So, I think it's gonna be good.
Yeah, dude.
Like, it's like 8 o'clock where you are right now, right?
Dude, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I don't know.
But just like, come on.
What are you doing?
I know.
Thanks for telling the folks at home how crazy I am.
Yeah, 7.30 coffee.
It's like it's CBD coffee.
So, like, I'm like, oh, well, maybe the CBD part will mellow me out, man.
And it's just not.
You know what I mean?
I'm lit.
So, I don't know what I was thinking.
But, you know, it's gonna be a good show.
And I'm willing to sacrifice my health for you guys.
And that's how much I care about my buddies.
So, I do want to kind of preface the room real quick, guys.
Please retweet the room if you have not already.
We do have the first pinned tweet because we have a few.
You know, I encourage all of our speakers, feel free to pin anything up top.
But as you guys know, it is Wednesday.
So, we have our Buddy Bank giveaway.
Just for holding a delisted Buddy in your wallet, you are eligible to win this week's giveaway,
which is a clean Hippie Life crew.
You know, we give an NFT away every Wednesday.
And we always say it's clean.
There's a lot of clean NFTs.
This is one of the cleanest hippies I've seen personally.
So, shout out to whoever wins tonight.
We're going to be pulling that near the end of the space.
And the Buddy holder does not have to be in the space.
You literally just have to hold a delisted Buddy.
So, pretty cool.
Pretty excited for that, as always.
And really excited for tonight's lineup.
Just to preface the space a little bit, guys.
We go up until 10 p.m. Eastern.
So, it can be a two-hour space.
We do have three speakers tonight.
So, it probably will be close to that mark.
Just to be kind of considerate of everyone's time.
You know, we don't have hard cutoff lines for speaking.
But if we could just try to, like, 30 minutes-ish.
You know, look, I'm not very good at math.
Stoner's the math guy up here.
Maybe he can help me out with that.
But I think if Brian sticks to, like, 30 or so minutes, we'll be straight.
You know, because we want to make sure everyone has plenty of time to share and whatnot.
But also want to be respectful of everyone.
Top priority.
So, that's that.
You know, we are joined by NAR AFDAO.
Which, you know, we were supposed to have last week.
But the homie had strep.
Which is completely understandable.
That sucks.
I would not want you here with strep, my friend.
That would blow.
We had Stoner Degen and LilyCoin.
But they were launching.
And we can't have them on a launch day.
That would have been hectic.
That would not have been good for LilyCoin, I'm sure.
So, and, of course, we're bringing Haikun this week.
They are currently minting their Bulls collection.
You know, so it almost feels like we're running this space back from last week.
You know, because last week, it was kind of crazy.
It, don't listen to the replay.
It was not good.
But it was basically me talking for an hour.
And just making up content.
Because I didn't have any guests.
So, I was just, you know, talking to myself.
Trying to talk to Tourette's.
And it was not, you know, look.
It's always a good space.
But it was not a good space.
So, tonight is going to be a great space.
And I'm excited for it.
I did want to ask the brands joining us tonight kind of what their time commitment is for the night.
Because, you know, say, if one of you guys is boarding a plane in 20 minutes, you know, we'll probably let you speak first.
You know?
So, just kind of want to get your time commitments.
I did want to add, with regards to that, High Vibes.
If I can go second, I would appreciate it.
I don't want to go first.
But then if I can go second, I would appreciate that.
I'm in AST.
So, then, for me, it'll be 10.
Like, it's 9.13 right now.
So, it's been a crazy day.
So, just to not go over.
Yeah.
Appreciate that.
Awesome.
I've never had someone request to go second.
It's usually either first or last.
So, you know what?
I think we can honor that.
Not too many people get into a fist fight over second place.
That works for me, Hycoon.
How about you, Nar?
Works for me.
I was going to say I can go first.
I love going first.
I'm all about it.
All right.
That works well.
Yo, Stoner, LilyCoin, are you guys flexible tonight?
Are you guys able to hang around?
Yeah, you know I like to go last, bro.
Okay.
Wow.
I'm just going to sit up here and be ignored, respecter.
I don't exist here currently.
So, that's fine.
No, that's fine.
Everything's fine.
I'm not in my feelings about it at all.
Not a little bit.
Okay.
Here's my problem.
If this said Sully, I promise I would have freaked out and I would have been like, oh my gosh, Sully's up on stage.
Let's fucking grow.
I would have given you a hug through the phone.
I'm still figuring out the details on that.
But seeing you under this other account does throw me off just a little bit.
So, I do apologize.
We do have Sully on the stage.
420 Life for me.
Honestly, it does just throw me off big time.
You know we love you, Sully.
Hey, I'm the one who guilts people here.
Don't you do that to me.
That's not allowed.
Well, I love all of you.
So, I mean, like, respecter, you don't even follow me back.
I come up, you don't say hi.
Like, the love, really, I just, the hug, the hug is not even, it's not even in the realm of possibilities right now because my feelings are all, they're in their own feelings right now.
Like, there are feelings on top of feelings inside of feelings about this situation.
That's some Inception-level shit right there.
Right?
I mean, has nothing to do with the fact that I've had dabs, bowls, and eddies tonight.
It has nothing to do with that.
I feel like by using words like Inception, you're taking advantage of me not being able to process this information, and I'm just going to fumble.
So, look, I'll just reiterate.
I'm just going to sit and be quiet now.
Okay?
No, no, no, no.
I'm good.
Just over here in the corner.
If you need me, I'll be over here taking BRs.
Love you.
Do you, though?
I mean, man.
Sometimes.
Sometimes.
All right, guys.
That is Sully.
Please follow this account that she is under right now.
Man, now I feel bad.
Can you please just change your name to Sully so I, you know, all right.
I'm not going to ask her.
Her handle, the actual screen name is Sully.
It just hasn't updated on your hand yet again.
True.
All right.
Well.
I did do a double take because I didn't see, I saw the other name when she was in here first,
but then when she was up on stage, I was like, oh, hey, what's up?
Bye.
So, it should refresh for you.
Keeping everybody on their toes.
That's what's up.
Yep.
Seeing who's paying attention.
I just found out that I can do the soundboard from my phone in my last space.
I won't do it now, but I'm definitely going to have some phone with that.
There's also a voice modifier if you also have access to it.
That's how I'm doing double.
Oh, right.
I really do have something valuable to, what the fuck did my dog just do?
I really did have something valuable to add, though, to Tourette.
Hey, NF Tourette's, my dog, not any of these because I gave up way before it was necessary,
but my dog, my Cocker Spaniel that I grew up with, failed puppy kindergarten three times.
So, I just wish you the best of luck because then the next dog I took failed twice, or we
passed the second time.
I'm not sure, but it was a big deal.
Like, she got massive treats and toys for that and then forgot everything.
But I wish you the best of luck in old puppy training kindergarten school because, yeah.
Soli, I first off just want to thank you so much just for that because, honestly, I need
all the luck in the world.
This dog's a handful.
She's learning quick, right?
But, yeah, she's definitely, she's got the dog in her, you know what I'm saying?
But, yeah, much love, Soli.
Much love.
All right, guys.
With that, I think I'm going to attempt to keep my mouth shut as much as possible and
throw the mic to the homie, Nar, over here.
Nar, I guess for starts, you know, if you really want to just get right into, not really like
your pitch, but kind of like just what you guys are about, what you guys are building,
and really take in any direction you want, and I'll try to do my best to ask you questions
along the way accordingly.
But the mic is yours, fam.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Well, I am Caleb, a.k.a. Narfather.
I've been in the space now, hit my two-year anniversary back in August, so I guess that
makes me a, I don't know, ancient.
I came into Web3.
It really came into my life when I needed a creative outlet and something that was brand
new that I knew was going to kind of, that I was going to engross myself within.
And I had already seen on crypto, and then when I started looking at NFTs, I immediately
saw the possibility of not just the image, but what you can do with that information on
the chain and then how that can translate into real, in real life aspects, whether that
be in business and accounting and the fact of all of the waste that's going to go away,
people, that's an entirely different story.
So I really, as well, I've been coming through with COVID.
I had my kid like in October of 19, so new parents, it's just me and my, it's me and
my wife, new parents, and our daughter in the middle of COVID and gone through that.
So it really kind of came into my life at the perfect time.
I had some just other personal things happen and I needed that outlet and I started to
get really creative both in, yeah, both in my, in storytelling and in just seeing these
different characters.
And I mean, I already watched cartoons and South Park and Futurama and Family Guy and Steven
Universe is one of my other favorite ones and Gravity Falls are awesome.
Um, so I was always really into cartoons and it just was fun and being silly in the space.
So I, I started getting connected in with different communities.
Um, I, uh, also, um, I, I tend to learn things by doing them.
So I came in and I said, I can launch a collection.
I can figure this out.
So that's where I came up with the idea for the Narnar Walls.
Uh, that was my very first collection on ETH.
Uh, spent a lot of money on a dev and, uh, marketing and other aspects and it flopped.
Uh, and everybody did.
So I had to be like, all right, what do I do?
Okay.
I need to learn.
That showed me, yes, I've had success in cannabis.
Uh, and that's my, my background, 20 years, uh, classically trained.
I have my MBA as well.
Um, it showed me that, yes, I knew a lot of things, but I had still had some stuff to learn.
So I started hopping in spaces.
I just started talking to people and getting more of an idea of like, okay, what's different
about this?
Uh, and it really hit upon of it's art and artists soul speak because it conveys emotions and
it's different for every single person.
So because of that, the connections that we're making are different than connections that
you make in other aspects because of the artwork, uh, it, it really transcends language and creates
that connection.
So I had, I think probably my sixth drug on Solana because I, I shifted over and did some
stuff on Solana.
Uh, it was a little cheaper to, uh, play around a bit.
And after I had just sunk a bunch of money into a project that didn't go anywhere, I was
like, all right, let me go check out some other chains, learn some new stuff and just play
around and see what's out there.
Um, and, uh, unfortunately, because it was so cheap on Solana, people rubbed a lot at
that time.
This was January, 2022.
Uh, and it was actually February, 2022 when I hit upon the idea of like, all right, I have
this artwork.
Somebody just rubbed me.
Now what do I do with this?
And coming from cannabis and knowing about franchising and the power of branding and, uh, and taking
that and turning that kernel into a fully fledged universe of ideas and stories and, uh, interactions.
And, and really it just comes back to stories.
Storytelling is the original form of entertainment when we were sitting around fires and telling
stories and, uh, that's what we do each day.
We tell ourselves stories about what happened yesterday, about what's going on.
That's how we process the events as we create a narrative around it.
Uh, they do it in sports as well too.
They even tell you flat out, here's the narrative that we're going to be doing today.
And then they follow it through the whole story and that's how they get you engaged.
So it's all about the storytelling aspect.
Um, so I wanted to provide the platform in order to leverage IP through storytelling and
through what I see as the, the, the best bridge for what we're doing here to elsewhere in merchandise.
Uh, merchandise is like 14, $15 trillion worldwide.
And it is a huge market and we're coming in as we're not trying to conquer anything.
We're not trying to reinvent your wheel.
There is a, there, there are a lot of things that are in place for prints on demand.
That is what we went in and set up because we see that as a sustainable way where things
are not made until you want them.
Uh, and it's stuff that you want.
So it's unique to you.
It's custom to you.
Um, I saw a few sites that were, uh, charging a lot.
Um, I'm not going to name names nor am I going to get into details there, but I didn't like
that as well of it's just, I just, I, things that I don't like.
So I went back and I am like, what are the values?
What are the things that are really important to me?
And it's NAR AF, uh, NAR came from NAR, NARly, NAR NAR walls.
It's the nineties culture of just being silly, having fun.
Like go watch three ninjas.
If you want to see it, just ridiculous nineties movie.
And that like encapsulates of just the sort of silliness that, uh, uh, to bring here.
So every letter in NAR AF is one of our values.
G is grateful.
Uh, we appreciate what we have and we want to share our blessings.
So that's part of where share more, uh, we're nimble.
We embrace new ideas and put them into action.
We launched on Solana.
We, as a community decided to, uh, cut our supply and transition over to Polygon that
we are currently minting, uh, with the amazing, uh, artwork in, in the arcades that I just
continue to get blown away with each one by, uh, night man, uh, Valerie down there.
Just amazing, amazing artwork.
Uh, I wouldn't be anywhere without my co-founders and my, and my community and just everybody who
supported me.
I'm, I, I, I can't stress that enough of nobody is self-made it's a myth.
We need support.
That's how we are going to rise up.
Uh, collaboration is really that place of where innovation and ideas and things just,
it's, it's amazing what happens.
So, um, uh, A is accepting.
One NFT is one NFT.
You only need one to join.
Uh, we do have partnership levels, but, uh, uh, it's currently at four.
It's going up to eight in December because we've had such a phenomenal response.
Um, and we want to help as many people as possible.
Uh, and also just got to remember about time and bandwidth and other things there.
So, uh, but it only takes one NFT for you to be able to come in and get 35% off of everything
that we make from all of our partners.
Uh, and you can get any of our items made with your images and no limit, no restrictions.
It's just digital information.
Get order as much as you want.
Um, responsibility.
We hold ourselves accountable through transparency on the blockchain.
We, uh, that's how we distribute, uh, the 20% of mint funds that are currently go
back to holders for marketing surveys.
Uh, 20% of all profits are dedicated to a DAO treasury that, uh, is currently set up to
be through marketing rewards distributed back to holders who participate.
Um, because we have active income at NARAS.
Uh, you, you participate and, uh, you're going to be able to reap the benefits.
You don't, and you can participate in poker games and other things when you see that we go,
but it's, uh, it really, you got to have a bit of gumption of, all right, what do I want
to do here?
And you show that to me and I am going to put full force behind of how I can help you
in your goals and getting to there.
Um, I mean, this is what I have done for, for years of change management and, uh, redesigning
a growth site that was 20,000 points using Excel sheets to actually implement a seed to
sale system and get them ready to be able to sell to a public and a public company in
about, I don't know, three months.
That was crazy.
Uh, so I've done a lot of really crazy, amazing things in business.
I see the parallels here in that we're getting guardrails, uh, the decision about XRP, the
stuff about the ETF, all of these things that you're seeing, those are milestones of the
industry maturing and we're entering into the next phase of the industry.
Uh, it's very similar when I think it was 2018 or when Canada had adult use and then the prices
went nuts for a year and then they sort of went down and then they came back as the people
who are actually operating and not just focused on the hype and the glamour and the basically
the stuff that lacks any real substance.
You know what I'm talking about?
Again, I'm not going to name any names.
I hold some of them in my wallet too.
I fell for that shit as well.
So, um, what I can leave you with is I have been here for two years.
Um, I'm still very active in the cannabis space.
Uh, I have multiple ventures that I am, uh, doing that are all, uh, kind of interrelated.
Uh, but my consulting and what I've learned over in my time applies to what we're doing
here with brand development and brand identity and defining your values.
So if you're a project founder and you haven't defined your values and your why, and I saw
this like two days ago, somebody still, they're just skating along on the blockchain.
That was the description for the project.
Uh, I remember around 2021 that a ton of projects had stuff like that of, oh, they're just hanging
out on the blockchain because they literally put no thought into the backstory whatsoever.
Um, it just a little moment of humor that I had that I'd forgotten about.
So, um, yeah, I can go on for a very, very long time.
Um, I don't want to, I want to keep my voice just as I am.
I'm on like day eight, I think of amoxicillin and it's a little bit of a stressful day, but
you know, ups and downs, you just, you go with it and, uh, it's, it's been great.
Uh, it's been stressful.
And I also have had, I believe four people that I went into three for sure.
And then there's one that we're, uh, we have a follow-up call on.
So it's just, it's beautiful.
Um, I believe in synchronicity.
There are no coincidences.
We are exactly where we are because we're supposed to be here.
We meet the people, we make our decisions and go in those directions.
Uh, say yes to opportunities and I encourage all of you, anybody listening now or later
hit people up.
If you hear something you like, reach out and let the person know that is how I met so many
people in this space of just being in here, listening, just go and give them a follow,
shoot them a message and say, I really liked this aspect of your story.
I really like, that was cool.
I didn't know that.
Um, I just found out earlier that I'm going to be nerding out on some history with, uh,
uh, Brandalf.
I didn't know he was such a, uh, uh, history buff and that's my undergrad.
So I'm like, dude, like, yeah, we, we, we, we gotta talk about lots of stuff.
I was watching something about, uh, development of Norse gods when I was sick.
Like that, that's the kind of stuff I watched on my own.
So, um, yeah, that's, that's me.
Um, I'm all over the place.
Uh, I know who I am or yeah, I know who I am.
And you get the same Nar father every time.
So I'm me.
I've always been me.
Uh, I I'm direct.
If I can help you, I will.
Uh, if you're greedy, don't come and ask for help.
Don't join my community because it's just not the place for that.
It just, it really isn't.
It's not a flip project.
We're here for a longterm because we're building companies.
We have two LS LLCs, one of them being an official doubt.
So, so I took all of those steps to ensure the longevity and the longterm.
And now is the time for all of us to kick it into gear as we are, uh, as we're grouping
and collaborating together.
And 2024 is going to be fucking sweet.
Yo, I couldn't agree more.
It's going to be sweet.
And dude, I love that you've been in the space for a long time now building, um, and consistency,
you know, being genuine.
I think is, uh, is, is extremely important in this space.
Uh, I thought it was funny when you're talking about brands just skating around.
Cause you know, that's fine.
Sure.
But be transparent about it.
Like I, I want to invest in builders personally.
I want to invest in the people who like, you know, they know what they're doing here.
They've got the mission statement.
Um, I do think it's pretty ambitious what you guys are doing.
I mean, not many people don't, I've never heard of a brand, you know, launching.
I know, I know this isn't your first, you know, project that you're launching, but 35%
discounts across the board, partnering with all of these different brands.
Cause I mean, where did you, you know, when you launched a collection, what made you want
to take it in that direction?
Cause that is definitely a unique direction.
You know, I wanted to give back as much to the holders as possible.
Uh, so partners are limited to 20%.
Uh, the partner holders, you have to be a Dow holder to get 35%.
And it's print on demand.
I'm not warehousing.
So I wanted to have that as a very tangible, very quick benefit that the holders can, can
get back because we're structured for 95% of all profits to stay within the, the Dow
or half of them go to the, the holder or the project partner.
Like that's where we're set up to just put that 50, 50, um, we've been building, it takes
a while to reach profitability.
So the 35% discount for holders is a way for them to immediately get, if they're looking
at it as an investment, they recoup that investment, but really it's just, you continue to get savings.
You can have cool stuff, uh, and knowing that you're going to be paying about what you would
be paying for something without a design, like out in a store, because, uh, we also cap
it to where I never mark things up more than a hundred percent.
So it's, uh, it's also just part of the way that we do on, on our margin.
That's how I've always done it in cannabis.
It's always just been a straight markup unless it was flower.
Um, and that's, uh, just kind of part of what I do in business of everybody expects.
Yeah.
You're going to be making a profit.
Um, I want my members to order as much as possible, like as much as they want to.
Uh, so there's, that was a big driver of it of here's a great incentive for you to just
order, order as much stuff as you want.
Let's get your stuff up.
Let's get it done.
For sure, fam, because the access to those discounts is significant, but you don't want
them just sitting there, right?
You want people taking advantage of them, you know?
Okay, cool.
These discounts, these partnerships are cool, but we want the community actually getting
that benefit, taking advantage of it.
So I absolutely love that.
Um, I also love that you guys are on Polygon as well as Solana, because, you know, as you
were saying, you have to have NFTs to partner, but it doesn't matter which chain, which I think
is pretty cool because I think a lot of people get turned off.
They're like, okay, well, I'm an ETH maxi.
I don't really mess with this other chain or, and you know, that's fine.
You know, I, I personally think you should diversify, but you know, if it's, it is cool
that you're reaching both those sides, you know?
So is that kind of a way to kind of keep floors in check too?
Because I'm guessing that like Solana, for instance, those NFTs don't have additional
accesses or utilities then versus the Polygon, correct?
Or is it kind of all the same in that aspect?
Yep.
It's exactly the same as far as, uh, access.
Uh, the only difference is the art, uh, on Solana.
We did, uh, just one artwork for all of them.
Uh, it's something that we've been kind of thinking about of, uh, possibly redoing some
art there.
Uh, we'll, uh, something I want to talk with community, maybe give them an opportunity to
like update their specific pass or some different ideas that, that we've thrown out.
But honestly, yeah, that is the only, uh, difference, uh, is the, the art, uh, it's a thousand
piece collection, the 20% that we pay out is only based off of, uh, for this Polygon Mint
is Polygon Minters.
So I've been doing some airdrops and stuff.
You have to, you have to have minted.
Those are the ones that are going to be into that calculation of how we split that up.
So it's not like dividing out of a thousand each time.
I mean, I could be doing it where there might be only a hundred that I'm doing as the denominator.
So there's a pretty big portion of that that goes up and, uh, we all know that Matic has
been, uh, Matic has been pumping.
It's doubled since we, since we started.
So, uh, so yeah, um, all I'll say is, uh, we got a space on Friday and there's going to
be a lot of news drop and a lot of updates on, uh, what, uh, we have planned and just,
uh, stuff as we're going to be wrapping the year out.
So, uh, just, I'll drop that little, little hints, uh, and going to go throw if I didn't
already, I did not.
Um, I'm going to go put the space for that.
Um, and, uh, let's see, I want to just do a silly giveaway.
I didn't get a chance to do anything.
So yeah, actually on that fresh drop on the ornaments, uh, everybody, uh, go on there,
like, and retweet and comment.
What is your favorite, uh, Thanksgiving food and why?
And I will, for everyone who has done that, uh, I will do a NAR AF arcade drop, uh, to show
my appreciation for you and, uh, my thanks of, uh, just, I would not be where I am if
it wasn't for all the people around me.
So, uh, make sure you go and do that.
Follow all the directions.
I will be checking to make sure that you have your favorite Thanksgiving food and why it
is your favorite.
So not just the food, you got to explain it.
Uh, and I will announce the lucky winner tomorrow morning when I get up and, and get myself
going now, real quick, uh, NAR AF, he, he forgot to mention this.
Uh, if you do write stuffing as your answer, you are disqualified.
That does not count.
Um, that's the only answer I believe that is not acceptable, but I will say, I will say
real quick, fam.
Uh, that is extremely generous of you.
We never ask brands to come through to do any sort of giveaways.
Um, we think that's a little tacky, but, um, we do appreciate it.
You know, we're never going to turn a giveaway down.
You know what I mean?
What we don't want your stuff.
You know what I mean?
It's like, yeah, psych, you know, we will take out, we will take all we can get.
So very, very cool, man.
We do appreciate you doing that.
Definitely.
So yeah, just feeling generous and, uh, that'll be a great way to give, uh, uh, some exposure
for us as well as one of our, uh, uh, newest partners, crafty miners with the stuff that
they dropped.
I'm going to be doing a bunch more logos and more ornaments and, and things, uh, that way.
So, uh, um, yeah, I just, uh, I appreciate the support, appreciate the time.
Um, if you want to, uh, hop in our discord, hit me up.
Um, my DMS are not open unless we're following each other.
Um, but you can always pop in discord and ping our father and, uh, um, uh, down to have
a conversation, talk through, uh, whatever.
Um, so yeah.
Awesome, fam.
Well, we've, we've definitely appreciated hearing from you.
Um, you know, I, I minted three of your NFTs a couple of weeks ago.
I'm extremely psyched and I love that the, uh, I love the arcade, uh, artwork by the way.
So I think it's super fun.
Um, and I'm glad I was able to get in early, you know?
So, oh yeah.
And right after I minted three, I joined a space like a couple of days later and I win
one.
So I'm like, all right, I never win anything, but you know, I was able to, uh, I was able
to secure number four.
So, um, awesome, fam.
Appreciate you coming through and, uh, yo, well, real quick, I will say if anyone has
any questions real quick for, uh, an RAF, uh, feel free to, uh, go ahead.
I don't know if you had anything to answer.
All right.
I think we are good.
I'd ask high Q and if he had any questions, but I am kind of worried because he is coming
as the bull tonight and he's got the voice changer.
And if you guys don't know, the bull is basically, uh, he's just stigma incarnate.
It's not going to, I'm honestly not really looking forward to this.
I'm a little scared because I'm not under my disrespect or account and I can't combat this.
I'm playing the nice guy.
I'm playing the nice guy tonight.
You know, I have to be respectful.
I combed, I combed my hair for this.
Why do you ask?
I don't, I don't know.
It's, you can't see me, but I did.
So I'm definitely having a little internal struggle over here, but I will, before we go
to high Q and I will, uh, re, you know, reset the room real quick, guys, please retweet
the room.
If you have not already tag your buddies, let's get some more people in the space.
Also real quick, make sure you show love to the pin tweets.
Um, I will direct again to the first pin tweet, the buddy bank giveaway.
We're going to be pulling that winner, uh, in between our third or second and third speaker.
So, uh, stay tuned for that.
That'll be exciting.
But yo, without any further ado, um, hi, Coon, Mr. Stigma, whoever we're speaking to tonight.
For now, for now, it's going to be me.
Um, I'm going to be talking about, um, what's been happening, um, in the ecosystem.
And then at some point the bull might come out.
Um, but I, I can't, um, really know about that.
But yeah, um, thanks for having us.
Um, very, very dope to be here.
This is like our first, our third time in building with buddies, I believe, since we started Haikoon.
So, definitely, um, helps me reminisce into the journey and everything we've been doing.
So, um, as you said, I'm not going to shout out everyone in the room, but I do definitely see some very dope people in the space.
So, thanks everyone for being here.
I see Cozy.
I see Respector.
Oh, we got a Respector.
Uh, and I see Joe Dazzer.
Thanks for being here.
Um, definitely, um, just to dive right into it.
I, like, I know I wanted to do a little intro as to Haikoon and where it all started.
I believe that a lot of people, even though we've been talking a lot about Haikoon in the past couple months, we haven't talked about where it all came from.
So, um, just to go a little bit over that and then talk where the ecosystem is and where we're going.
So, yeah, without further ado, um, I just want to stress real quick with regards to the bull side of things.
We aren't rugging and that's going to be part of what we're, what I'm going to be talking, um, um, soon as well.
But then just to keep you on edge, um, Haikoon, essentially, for those that don't know, um, with Haikoon, we're building the first gamified learning ecosystem that is tied around cannabis, um, like knowledge.
Essentially, we, last year, actually, we saw the opportunity as we received, like, uh, like we had a collaborator, um, Nando, um, ZQPR.
He actually sent us a 3D Haikoon he modeled after some drawings that we had, um, of Haikoon that I created with my girlfriend.
And essentially, um, as we saw that 3D Haikoon last year, literally, it's already been a year.
It's quite, um, surreal, everything.
Um, um, I saw a way for us to connect with people, um, through a character in which we could give value to people.
While also getting value in return by doing, um, what we thought was, like, essentially what we did, a free mint, um, for a project that is tied around education.
So, at that point last year, I said, like, oh, we got a character.
We got Haikoon.
And then as soon as I saw him, I said, he's a scientist.
He is literally, uh, the expert in terpenes.
He's an expert in cannabis.
And Haikoon is here to save the world.
So, that's how I saw him.
Like, as soon as I saw Haikoon, and this is, like, we had the character before having the story.
So, it was very interesting, basically, tying the whole story around him.
And it's something that is still in development.
But essentially, as soon as that happened, last year, we started, um, essentially going through our journey of creating Haikoon.
We took a whole month, um, at the beginning of this year, um, during January and ideated what is basically all the content you've been seeing up until this day.
Um, in terms of, like, the structure, in terms of, like, the minting, in terms of the characters and the story you've been seeing, a lot of it has changed.
In the meantime, we've added a lot more, um, games and such.
But essentially, the mission that we set out to do that, um, January was educating people while also growing as developers daily.
And it's something that by creating Haikoon, we had an avenue to do both things.
Um, we were able to test our skill set and continue to grow, um, daily by creating things for Haikoon.
And by creating things for Haikoon, we're also connecting with a community in which we want to let people know that cannabis is not as bad as people put it.
Like, and then it's, like, that is, like, the first thing.
Like, it could be bad if you don't know what you're doing with it.
Like, everything can be bad.
But then if you don't, and if you pay attention to things that matter, at least terpenes, for example, which is, like, the main thing we're talking about mostly in Haikoon's world, then you can actually enhance your lifestyle.
And that's essentially the driving force behind Haikoon, like, that's the mission we set out to do, educating people so we can just showcase that stigma is very wrong.
And that's where the whole story comes into play, um, given that as soon as I started seeing how Haikoon can, could educate people, I also started ideating which would be, what would be the villain in the story.
And, uh, for a lot of time, we couldn't talk about the villain.
We just said, like, oh, there's a villain in the story.
Um, we didn't want to showcase it because we've been doing it as we meant we reveal parts of the story.
But then, um, it was very interesting seeing how we started, and by the way, I just lost my train of thought, the highness.
Um, but yeah, like, it's, it's essentially where, as soon as we, we started seeing the, the potential for Haikoon, like, we started out just, like, doing, uh, okay, yeah, I got my, my parents off.
So, as soon as I started, um, creating the story, um, stigma was the main villain because that's something we see, like, everywhere, every time, like, daily, and, and it's presented, like, in very different way, in a lot of different ways.
And it's not only about cannabis, you can have stigma, with regard to a lot of things in your life.
And we wanted to give this story a villain or a, like, an antagonist that was universal to everyone.
And that, that's how we came up with essentially Haikoon Against Sigma.
For the most time, we were calling it just Haikoon.
But then when we launched the collection, we felt that Against Sigma was very needed as to have a statement as a name.
We're not Haikoon, uh, play the game and just do any, like, we're Haikoon Against Stigma, and Stigma is whatever you want it to be in this point of view.
But then in our story, it has a context.
Stigma is a corporation that is giving access to people to accessible weed, like, um, affordable weed, a, which is, uh, like, in a world where cannabis is accepted and, uh, people can use it.
But then not all have access to it, similar to our world in some places.
Um, and essentially, Stigma is making this available.
And that motivated Haikoon within the story and the lore to pursue a job within Stigma.
What he didn't know is that Stigma would use his research to, like, create a way to take away the feeling of terpenes from the people in Haikoon society.
So imagine that after your whole life, looking up to that entity that would help you essentially make the world better, you were bamboozled into creating something that could potentially make the world worse.
And then at that point in the story, that was, like, the inflection point, the, the point of, like, the conflict was Haikoon learns the truth behind stigma.
And that's something that for us, like, as we dived into the story for the first three months of our, of our narrative, all the marketing pointed at stigma being good.
And you can go into our X site, and you can basically go to our first, like, couple posts, in which we talk about stigma being bad, um, good, I'm sorry.
We talk about stigma doing something good for the, like, for people, because it was happening in real time.
For the first three months of our project, we basically, after we planned everything out on January, on February, we started developing the first, um, tribute terpenes trail, which wasn't planned.
I literally started saying, like, oh, I want to make this a pre-mint, but I want people to work for it.
And I said, oh, people should know about terpenes, they should do, like, a little test, and then if they pass the test, they'll get a high list.
And that was ideal, right?
But then something happened.
I said, how are people going to know about terpenes if I don't educate them?
I was becoming part of the problem.
I was going to basically ask people to answer questions to something I hadn't told, like, talked to them about.
So I said, hey, this is where we can create a little game.
I created a maze.
We created, like, a series of mazes that are within the terpene structure, and you can run within the terpene structure that is colored within, like, with a specific color tied to that terpene, and you can collect that terpene within that maze,
and also learn information about that terpene as we're running through the maze.
And that was our first game ever.
Actually, our second game for Hycoon, which was the Tribute Terpene Trails, where we go by each terpene as, like, from starting with myrcene and ending with limonene, we go through eight different terpenes.
And essentially, you can learn about these terpenes by going through a maze and collecting the terpene and learning a little bit about it.
That's how we solve the problem of how we educate people to answer the questions of the test, essentially.
And then after we did that, what we noticed was that people were, even though people were not, like, getting educated in the sense of, like, oh, they're learning so much, like, they were getting curious enough to keep on looking for themselves.
They were going into our space, they were reading a little fact that said, oh, limonene is used in other things that is, like, see, limonene is found in other things that are not cannabis.
You can find it also in fruits like citrus fruits.
Like, that fact might be something that you didn't know.
And that's what we're hinging upon, like, the whole concept of being able to just look at a random fact, but then be curious enough to look further into what it means.
And that action would be where we are catalysts, a catalyst for you enhancing your lifestyle if you keep on searching about terpenes.
So from there, we actually created another experience, which is called Dodge Bad Vibes.
And after we minted, or actually, I should talk about the minting, like, when we minted, we also did something that was very unique.
For the most time, I've been trying to not say, like, oh, we're very unique or we're very different, because I kind of want to blend in, in a way.
But then I'm kind of, that's why we're doing the bulls and the bullish takeover.
We're kind of tired of blending in.
So we're going to be doing a lot of things that we're just going to have fun.
And the people that don't understand what we're doing, it's because they're not there.
And the ones that are there are laughing, their asses off.
Even if it's laughing at us or with us, it doesn't really matter, because it's what we want to do, essentially.
But right now, at that point, when we minted, we did something very different, which was doing a mint through a game in which you needed to learn about Hycoons Day before the mint.
We wanted you to immerse yourself in Hycoons Day so you could live the day he learned the truth about stigma.
And the whole idea was, like, you went through his day from the loft, through his chill space.
Then you went to work.
You went to the lobby, to the gym, to his game room.
You went to the meeting.
And then, when you finish your whole journey, you're in the lab, and you make everything go to shit.
You basically explode your lab while trying to create a terpene energy source, which you create by taking all terpenes and blending them together and creating a singularity event in that point.
And it's very dramatic.
And at that point, Hycoon blows up the lab, and he sees what's behind it.
And what's behind his lab is Mr. Stigma's research.
And Mr. Stigma, his name says it all, he's the bad guy, right?
Mr. Stigma is literally creating creatures using Hycoon's terpene knowledge to infuse creatures with terpenes.
What the fuck, right?
Like, why?
Like, why, Mr. Stigma, why?
So, basically, that's something you can see through our games, in which every part of the story has a game tied to it.
So, you can see the story in chapters that are tied to games, in a way.
So, essentially, we have the trippy terpene trills.
Hycoon learns about the terpenes.
Then Hycoon goes through his day, and we mint Hycoon, in which you could only mint your Hycoon by going through the game.
That mint link was never made public.
That was only through the game.
And then, after that, you would learn what happens next.
And then, Hycoon had to escape from Stigma HQ.
And that's another game, which you're just escaping from Stigma HQ.
You can hear the creatures, like, screeching in the background, and you're just running through a maze.
Essentially, from there, we went into DodgeVat Vibes.
And DodgeVat Vibes, it happened on June, I believe, or July.
And between that, those two months, I really have no recollection.
I was very high.
We launched the Bears, the Bears Mint.
And for the Bears, we wanted to do another gamified mint.
And just before the Bears, actually, we launched the decision-making game, in which we had, like, a car.
And you were going in a car, going through the story.
You just escaped the Stigma HQ.
You go into the car.
You're leaving the space.
But then, Hycoon set up a security system in which you need to answer what terping is best to solve a situation.
And then, if you answer incorrectly, it'll throw you to the wrong path.
And then, it will tell you, no, you shouldn't have picked this, essentially, because it doesn't help you.
So, basically, what we did there was create a multiple-choice exam on wheels, where you're just going on a car, running through a space, answering questions, getting, like, letting you know if you're good by just letting you go.
And then, if you're wrong, it gets you a prompted message on your screen saying you shouldn't, like, that doesn't help you do what you think.
So, for example, you have a situation like, oh, you need to stay awake because you need to submit a project.
What would you take, Myrcene or Limonene?
And then, if people choose Myrcene, it'll let them go through a route that, as they go further and further, it'll tell them, Myrcene doesn't help you stay awake.
And that is a way for us to both take away time for, like, for your best time finishing the test and penalize you and also let you know that that wasn't the correct choice by, like, answering the question.
Like, that doesn't help you do that specifically.
That was actually a fun game that helped reinforce a little bit of the knowledge people got from the Tribute Turbine Trails.
And right now, from there, we jumped into the Bears.
And the Bears were fun because we made it so the Bears right now are only mintable through our game.
And right now, the Bears Mint is open, but then it's not public.
So, like, there's no botting that can happen into the Bears Mint.
And for you to mint a bear, you need to play a racing game.
Because after Hycoon escapes, the bear, which helped him escape, and that's something you learn in the story, which is on our website as well.
After the Bears, after Hycoon escapes, the bear becomes a traitor as well to Stigma.
So, he needs to escape.
But then the bear is escaping through the path that Hycoon left them.
So, the bear is escaping, and what happens is that at the end of the journey for the bear, as you finish a race, it'll give you a minting button so you can mint your bear.
It'll take you to the mint site.
You can then save the mint link, send us a DM, and we'll put you into a list so you can mint.
But essentially, from, like, in that game, it's where it's the only place you can get a bear.
And it's where, and when you go into the game and you see the story, the bear doesn't make it out of the game, or that part of the game.
So, that gives Hycoon a motive to come back hastily.
Because right now, not only Mr. Stigma is doing research, but then Stigma, it's preparing to take over.
But they're also holding his friend hostage and others like him that don't want to support Stigma.
So, right now, Hycoon is on a mission.
Right now, Hycoon has been lost.
I don't know if you've seen our page, but then Hycoon hasn't been seen.
Like, I don't know where Hycoon is.
Like, he's, like, he doesn't want to, he literally just, like, up and left, bro.
He's doing his own thing.
He's preparing for the fight against Stigma.
And what we were left was with the Bulls.
And that's where we come in with the Bulls.
Like, if you saw our Halloween, like, our Halloween space, we create spaces or experiences for the story.
But we also do, like, non-canon spaces.
And we did a Halloween space that was tied to Mr. Stigma and the Bull.
And what happened was that the Bull, like, bro, he broke out.
Literally, he found a way to get out of the fucking maze.
And he broke out of the maze.
And he's, like, he took over the page.
For the past, like, five days after we minted, the Bull took over the page.
And that's, like, when I say the Bull took over the page is that people by now, the people that know us by now should understand that we're trying to weave, like, a lot of the storytelling.
But also the attitudes, like, of the narrative into the characters that we're portraying.
So right now, when I say the Bull took over, if you've been seeing anything that we've been posting, nothing has to do with education.
Nothing has to do with value.
All has to do with, sorry for rugging.
If we're not rugging, then we're rugging, then we're going to give back.
Because in all truth, the Bull represents those people in the space.
The people that come in basically take over other people's work, for example, and try and make it so, oh, like, at the finish line, oh, I made it happen.
But then they can't make it happen because it wasn't theirs, for example.
Or the people that actually rug everyone after they said they would do something, after they said, like, they would try and do it and try and do it.
Or the people that just, like, can't stand the time, like, and just, like, give up as soon as something goes wrong.
So what we're doing with the Bulls and, like, coming to our presence is that what we've been doing the past couple of days is that we've been showcasing the kind of person that is the Bull, or the kind of character that the Bull would be, which he came into Hycoon's page.
He took over the page because he said, oh, he already has the followers.
He already has a community.
Like, let's mint a project.
Let's get some money, and let's zip out.
And that is what the Bull would do.
And the sad thing is that that is what the Bull did yesterday.
If you went into our space that, by the way, we had more than 500 people tap into the space.
And I don't know if it was because we're talking about rugging, if it was someone just playing and taking out the content, like, all night, so we would have 500 views.
I know I didn't do that.
I woke up and was like, holy shit.
But then 500 people heard about the Bull rugging or not rugging.
But essentially, if you go into last night's space, you'll hear about how the Bull feels about the whole situation.
He basically said he didn't get the results he wanted in the time he wanted.
He's seeing this as too much work for what he's getting.
So he's dipping out.
And he essentially rugged everyone that was minting the Bulls.
And he said, whatever happens, it's up to Hycoon.
So right now, we're looking for Hycoon because he's dipping out.
Like, he said, like, by next week, he's gone.
Like, the Bull is going to be, like, nowhere to be seen.
And what happens is that Hycoon had to take care of the people that minted the Bulls.
Luckily, we already have some plans and some contingencies we talked about last night as to what we're going to be doing with the owners of Bulls internal utility within the Hycoon ecosystem.
But then, like, yeah, like, that's something that just happened to us.
Like, we were rugged by our character.
Our character literally broke out of Spatial.
And then he came, took over the page, and he rugged us.
Like, he was like, yeah, let's do the dev.
I'll pay you.
He's like, oh, trust me.
Like, he didn't even let us put any, like, dev, like, percentages or anything.
He was like, no, I'll pass you the E.
Like, trust me, don't worry.
And he's like, he has the bag.
So, it's where we are at.
Like, anyone that has minted already a Bull, I'm sorry.
I'm really not sorry because I know Hycoon is going to take care of you.
We already have some plans regarding that.
And, yeah, it's the fun we're having.
And this is where I say we're having fun with our project.
Certainly, no project would say we're rugged randomly just to get some attention.
But then, here we are because we can.
So, I'm sorry if people thought that we were.
We actually got some people DM us about, like, hey, are you rugged?
Like, what's going to happen?
And we're like, it's all good.
We're not rugged.
This is part of the strategy with the Bull.
This is the Bull talking.
Like, if you went into her, if you go into her post, like, the Bull has been talking for the past couple days.
I've been talking in an eye, which is not me either.
So, just to put everyone into, like, our present, that's where we're at.
Essentially, last night we talked about the future plans of Hycoon.
And just to not go over too much, I'll take the next five minutes to go over that.
And essentially, the future of our Hycoon and what we're doing is that we are going to take Hycoon and make it an actual ecosystem.
We are talking about creating a gamified learning ecosystem.
But right now, what we have are a lot of scattered pieces of games and different experiences that can be tracked to Hycoon.
But then they're not all still, like, interconnected in a way that I would want it.
So, what we're going to be doing is that Hycoon is going to, like, we're going to be revamping our spaces.
So, they're all sharing a similar UI, a similar feel and vibe for Hycoon.
They all have, like, the same elements.
They all feel the same coming from a character, like, from his world.
But then more so than that, we're also adding game mechanics that can rival any Web3 project.
And this is where I say any Web3 project because we won't do it the Web3 way.
We'll be doing it the Web2 way because, like, Newsflash, the new meta is going Web2.
And I'm here, like, I've been Web2 since I started.
So, it's funny because now I have to go back to what I was.
And it's funny because I've already been there.
But then it's where we've been.
And right now, we're going to be taking where anything you see a Web3 project has, we can make happen in spatial.
We already have a marketplace where you can buy assets that are tied to Hycoon and you can use with your Hycoon and customize your Hycoon in spatial.
We already have a coin that is tied to Hycoon, which is not tied to any actual money, not tied to the blockchain.
But then it is tied to our game and it is tied to time.
I basically take into account how much time you spend winning my game and I reward you based on your time spent.
So, I do take into account, for example, if you play for five minutes, I'll give you five minutes worth of coin.
I'm not giving you, like, oh, a game that lasts five minutes, I'll give you 50 coins.
And then the game that's where for a minute, I'll give you 100.
I'll give you literally based on time.
And that's something that as an ecosystem, we're also going to introduce what would be staking in spatial.
So, imagine that you can go into the Metaverse and just clock in and put your NFT to claim that coin, farm that coin.
Then you would be, for example, someone that has eight Hycoons that is collecting maybe 10K Stigma coin per week.
They could be buying anything in the shop whenever they wanted versus someone that is not a holder that would need to play to earn those coins.
Or someone that is a holder of less Hycoons that would need to wait more time to collect those items to customize your Hycoons.
And talking about customization, we don't have trait swapping in our collection.
But in spatial, we do have trait swapping.
You can customize your Hycoon depending on the assets that we have, depending on the attachments and all the different clothing that we're going to be putting into it.
So, you can have your own version of a Hycoon in spatial.
And that's something that most projects can't even say they have, a fully customizable avatar in the Metaverse.
And that's something we have.
And we don't only have one character.
We already have five characters that are in spatial, ready to go, to do whatever we want with them.
So, from there, it's where we're going to be doing that staking in which, depending on how many Hycoons you hold, you can get more coin and more rewards.
You can get more items.
And then we're also going to introduce some game mechanics like harvesting.
So, you can harvest materials.
So, you can create items.
You can then craft items.
So, you can have power-ups.
Or you can cook.
And then you can learn about which terpenes are tied to different foods.
And that takes me, essentially, to what would be our next game, which is a game in which we are going to tie one game per terpene.
And we're going to be creating eight different games within a single game.
I'm sorry.
It's eight different game styles within a single game in which we're going to make it so you're feeling the terpene that you're playing.
So, we're going to make a stage for Limonene that will be an obstacle course that will make you feel anxious.
And then you need to remain calm to win.
And then we'll make a game for Merciin that's a platform game in which, once you jump on it, the platform shakes loose.
And you need to stay active because if you stay too still, it'll drop you.
So, on Merciin, if you stay still, it'll drop you to the bad vibe.
And on Limonene, if you get too anxious, it'll take you to the bad vibe.
So, I'm going to be creating a series of games in which we tap into how you feel.
And you'll see how Hycoon feels on those terpenes.
So, you can correlate how Hycoon feels with how you feel.
And that's how we aim to create the first gamified learning ecosystem in the fucking world.
Thank you for listening.
Yo, let's fucking grow, fam.
I love what you guys are providing because, you know, the educational aspect of cannabis is so important.
And finding a way to make it fun where people can interact and play a game.
Like, they're learning, but they don't feel like they're learning.
You know what I mean?
And so, I think that's powerful.
And, of course, cannabis education is so important.
You know, people are smoking strains and they're, you know, it's sativa and indica.
And that's all people.
Don't let Joe listen.
Don't let Joe hear you because he'll go around.
I know.
Dude, you've got – I know.
I know.
We've got to be respectful of Stoner, D-Gen's time and Lily going.
But, yeah, I know that Joe could come up here because, dude, again, it is very powerful.
You know, you've got to understand terpenes, especially if you're – you know, you consume cannabis regularly.
You've got to know what works for you.
And you guys –
Yeah, and I'm sorry.
And I'll leave with this.
Like, my dream right now is that Hycoon – right now, I see it where people will learn through Hycoon about terpenes for some time.
But in the future, I want it to be where people need to learn about terpenes by themselves so they can play the game.
So, imagine a world where, like, for example, in World of Warcraft, you're learning the lore of the character so you can know how to use it.
You need to learn the lore, which would be actual scientific data for you to know how to do things in the game.
And that's where it becomes crazy, where people would need to read and say, like, oh, I want to read this because I want to beat this fucking game.
So, that is my dream, and that will take a couple years.
But then, who's counting?
For sure, fam.
And, you know, a lot of people talk about building in this space.
I mean, the name of our space is Building with Buddies.
But the amount of actual building you guys are doing in Spatial is crazy.
For those of you guys that haven't plugged into the Hycoon ecosystem, just the sheer number of games and the sheer number of hours that they have put into, like, each game and the lore and all that, like, you know, that you can play and see firsthand, it is a lot.
So, very cool that you guys are taking, you know, it seriously with Spatial and building everything you guys are.
Thank you, thank you.
And I didn't know that Hycoon had been captured, to be completely honest.
You know, for you guys that don't know, I am the owner of the one-of-one bull NFT.
It's from the original Hycoon collection, the first collection, but I own the bull.
So, my alt account at NFT Disrespecter, he actually reps the bull.
And, you know, we're really fighting cannabis over there with that account.
You know, where, you know, I don't know where Hycoon is, but NFT Disrespecter definitely knows.
And I'm not saying shit, you know.
You know, the truth will come out eventually, but I'm not talking.
By the way, before I leave, like, also, I announced the bulls being a rug, and we had 14 mints happen today.
So, I don't know why people keep minting a rug, but go mint your bulls.
It's not a rug.
Yeah, it's done a little reverse psychology, taking a little book from the Respecter playbook.
I respect it.
Thank you for coming through, Hycoon.
It's been an absolute pleasure.
You know, last time we had you guys on, it was during your bear mint, and now we're here during the bull mint.
And we're happy to have you.
So, yo, guys, let's reset the room real quick.
Please retweet the room if you have not already.
We are still yet to hear from Lily Coyne.
The homie Stoner, D-Gen, is going to speak on them and what he's building with this coin and this brand.
But before we get into that, I do want to say we have pulled the Buddy Bank winner for this week.
As you guys can see, if you scroll all the way to the right, you can see that we are giving away a Hippie Life Crew NFT is super clean, HLK.
And the winner, do you want to hit me with a drum roll?
All right, my dude, my dude.
The winner for this week's Buddy Bank giveaway is OG Buddy Holder number 55.
It is the homie Beehive Labs.
So, congratulations, homie.
Mint number 55, that's an early minter.
You know, he's been with us basically from the beginning.
So, shout out to Beehive Labs.
If you guys are mutuals with him, I believe he's got the Shredding Sassy PFP at the moment.
Definitely tag him in the space.
Just say, just say congrats, fam.
Make him super confused.
It's my favorite thing to do.
I love when people just see congrats and they're like, wait, I didn't enter a giveaway.
Well, you know what?
You don't have to.
You just have to be rolling with your buddies.
So, shout out to the homie.
And, yo, honestly, please give some love to all of these pinned tweets.
I know we say it at the end of the space as well, but make sure you show some love to all those posts up there.
You don't have to retweet, but give them a like.
Be a buddy, you know?
So, without any further ado, we are going to hear from Stoner, D-Gen, and LilyCoin.
What is up, brother?
How are you doing tonight?
What's up, everybody?
I'm not going to be able to do this.
I'm going to have to do it on my Lily account.
All good.
You know what, Stoner?
I like hearing your voice, but, you know, we really came here for the queen tonight.
You know what I mean?
Like, nothing against you, but I think the folks at home came to hear from the queen.
So...
I agree.
I definitely agree with that.
I hope everybody's doing great.
Sounds like we're having an awesome time tonight.
Really cool to hear from all these projects.
I love seeing innovation and creation out here and definitely digging the cannabis stuff
and digging the education and spatial and all that new tech.
Might not be as new to some, but what you guys are doing with it's badass.
So, I just want to say kudos to everybody building out here.
Shit, guys.
Guys, it's been a week, right?
Last week, we didn't make it to the space.
I'm sorry about that.
Definitely wasn't my intentions to miss it, but, you know, that was a crazy night.
Definitely had a lot of fun there.
So, anyways, dude, Canada Buddies, I slammed a cup of coffee, too, just so you know.
And then I did a fat dab, and I feel like $100.
So, I'm feeling the vibes.
Hey, well, I'm glad to hear that, fam.
And I'll be completely honest.
I drank the coffee.
I smoked a bit of weed while Haikun was speaking just because he stays high.
I feel like almost when I'm on stage with him, I have to try to compete, which is a mistake.
And on top of that, I've had a couple beers.
So, dude, I don't know what level you're at, but I'm guessing we're chilling around the same.
So, glad that the coffee picked you up a little, fam.
And, yeah, dude, one week since launch.
It's exciting.
You know, we'll cut you some slack from last week.
You know, maybe it wasn't our best idea having you on during a launch.
You know, maybe that we were kind of asking for chaos, honestly.
So, you're forgiven.
We still love you.
And by you, I mean Lily.
She's the queen.
But, yeah, fam, we're pumped.
Guys, I don't know if you guys have had a chance to look at anything.
I kind of posted a little info for you guys.
There is a giveaway going on for LilyCoin.
That's up top here by Crypto Kev.
So, if you want to win $20 million, Lily, definitely check that post out.
I think you got to tag some homies, retweet, something about, like, standing on your head and doing a fat bong rip.
I don't know.
I heard something like that.
But I can't read very well right now.
So, we'll just have to wing it.
But, no, I'm enjoying the ride, guys.
It's been a blessing.
A lot of you guys know me in this space.
And I've been here for a while.
And it was truly humbling to see so much support on launch night and to see how many people got involved with this.
I'd like to say that, you know, I was at the time just going 100 miles a minute, right?
But I wasn't surprised.
That's why I launched.
I thought we had the support.
I thought we have a great idea here.
I really wanted to innovate the crypto space.
For those of you who know, I just love finding holes in different things and industries and then filling them and creating new, unique concepts to change the perspective, typically on a grand level if I can.
So, here we are with LilyCoin.
And basically, you know, just forget everything you know about tokenomics.
Tokenomics currently is a very loose term that's thrown around.
There are some great tokenomics out there on some different blockchains, absolutely.
But the average coin that launches out on ERC-20 or any of these other chains for the most part without any funding would typically, you know, just be considered a meme coin.
And, you know, a lot of people like to call them shit coins.
I don't know that that's fair, although a lot of them rug, right?
And so I saw those as being serious issues, right?
So, you know, what do you do when you see these holes and you try to figure out, well, what is a stoner going to do to change tokenomics?
How do you come up with a solution that creates a little bit more of a fair opportunity for everybody to get involved?
And then also, how do you create a solution to do everything a token has to do to be successful?
And those things are, you know, holders, volume, and engagement, right?
And so without those three things, you can't have any successful project out here.
And it's an extremely complicated process if you don't have that figured out before you drop, right?
I've been through it a little bit.
We took a long time to launch our NFT projects, but I'm not going to get any of those tonight.
But that's my background experience here in Web3.
We created token or NFTs as tokens for access, proof access, proof ownership.
We saw that hole and we went to fill that.
We actually hit a year not too long ago on the Honey Bears, and we're also going to hit a year on the Psychonauts next month.
So kudos to everybody who has been holding those.
It's amazing to see the floors listed so low and the support we still get to this day and the random purchases on those that happen.
It's been a fun ride, and I just felt like I could give back more than just in the NFT side.
And when I saw this crypto error, we'll call it, we've all been instilled with this logic that if you want to play the coin game, you're literally playing a gambling lottery ticket.
And it's all about who gets in early, who gets that alpha call, a lot of risk, a lot of projects.
You know, you jump into five, one might take off a little bit or even just be here tomorrow, right?
So it's a lot different than the NFT space that we're used to, but it's similar.
It just happens quicker because money comes in, money comes out, and it's done.
And you don't have to mint out the tokens.
You just have to have the engagement on the chart.
So when I realized that that was what was happening here, and most of the time, even with, like, some of the bigger coins that we still have that we all love and appreciate,
for the most part, those end up getting picked up by the community and rallied behind after they've already been completely drained of liquidity and things like that as well.
So it is a unique opportunity to be able to bring something like this, and I call this a rewards token because it truly does give rewards to everybody on multifaceted levels.
And it's generated through, as crazy as it sounds, I came up with a map problem, and I found a sweet, sweet spot where I could make a lot of cool pivots often
to change the narrative of what we're trying to accomplish at the time as a token in a community.
We have a tax mechanism that's built in that is ever-changeable, and a lot of people are like, whoa, ever-changeable?
That's like red flag number one, right?
But the reality is I'm doxxed.
We're building something real.
And in order to break the cycle in tokenomics, you have to be able to pivot.
You have to be able to make slight adjustments.
You also do have to be able to help the psychological behavior be created in different terms.
So we do change the taxes a little bit.
And like right now, the tax is at 5% sell.
It's at 1.5% buy, and then it's at 0.5% for transfers.
And what that means is those taxes are going back to the rewards pool, which is its own smart contract
where you guys can go and claim on the website.
And then also, it has some of the money going to the company wallet and some of the money going to the liquidity wallet
because keeping liquidity high is important.
And when we start a token with half an ETH tied to liquidity with 105 billion tokens,
you have to have that early support that we did get to be able to be a successful project.
Everyone told me that we were totally crazy for thinking that half an ETH was going to be enough
to drop into an LP and make a project work.
And here we are.
We're weak in, and we're still moving in a positive direction.
We've had some volatility, of course.
We had a lot of bots in her, like you see in every project.
Obviously, it was really cool to see the first night we almost hit 100K market cap.
We dropped back down all the way throughout a slow progression to a $22,000 market cap.
And now we are back up at, last I checked, like a $47,000 market cap.
So we're here, we're building, we have a great community.
Everybody understands what they're doing here as far as participation
and what it means for them if they're able to help add value
just by, you know, shouting out what they're doing here with the tokens,
claiming the rewards, talking about it, and getting excited about that part.
That's only one part of the token.
It's an important part of the token.
And that's what most people would kind of consider the end of it.
So I decided that I wanted to see, you know, with fiat, they print money, right?
With Bitcoin, they print money.
They do the halvings, right, with the blocks and the time and all that proof, right?
And I realized that what would be really cool would be instead of having to do all that,
you come up with a solution where, you know, I call it the sweet spot of the minting tokenomics
where it's all proof of transaction, pot for short, right?
We got the whole theme there, but, you know, it's proof of transactions.
We created a new system where basically all the transactions are tracked.
And then as that volume hits different tiers, we call milestones of volume, then we go and we mint.
Now, we can mint earlier, but it'll be to that level that it's at at that moment.
And then each milestone tiers us down.
It's a small percentage teardown so that we're not getting into a situation like with Bitcoin because Bitcoin's awesome.
It's an anomaly.
It's the king of coins.
But the reality is, like, if you have, you're leaving yourself up for a ton, a ton of problems in a normal coin market.
You're going to see so much volatility.
It could definitely cause issues.
And we were trying to offset that as much as possible.
So we slowly progress from there to 120 different milestones where we'll go from the 25% supply of $105 billion to $420 billion.
And at $420 billion, it'll stop minting.
Now, what the fuck happens to coins when you mint them?
That was the first question I asked myself.
I was like, I really don't know.
Like, where do they go?
You know, like, do they just go into the pool?
And how do they go into the pool?
Because there has to be, like, money exchange.
And, like, what happens to these coins, right?
And so I realized that we could control what happens to them.
And we could put some of the minted tokens back to the rewards pool for everyone who's here.
And then we can also put them back into the company wallet and the liquidity wallet to then again continue to build everything up as a whole.
So everything that's done is all done in Lilly.
A lot of people don't realize that we're not taking ETH in the taxes.
We are actually taking Lilly.
So reason being, we're creating a true ecosystem with this token because I believe this rewards token adds a lot of added value for businesses online.
Potentially over the course of the next, you know, six months, what I'd like to see is projects that have adopted them and truly put them into their ecosystem.
Because not only is it rewarding for the holders, it's also rewarding for the project because they're claiming rewards.
You could simply set it in a wallet and just claim your rewards for holding.
Currently, 75% of the tax goes to rewards.
It's a significant amount.
We have over 2 billion tokens in the rewards pool right now.
And that rewards pool is, so that's like 2% of the supply almost.
People are able to claim and it's just continuing to grow and prosper.
And it's been an awesome experience.
So that's kind of the short of it.
I guess I could touch on a couple things.
I was asked, like, why don't you burn the contract?
I cannot burn the contract because we have a badass dev.
You know me, we're going all in, baby.
So I got a kick-ass fucking team behind me.
The dev made an amazing admin panel where I'm able to control these functions and able to truly make it work within that system that we've created.
We're talking about a lot of different things that we're going to add to it.
We also have a token launch platform that we're going to come out with here shortly.
And we've partnered with someone to do that.
So we're really just trying to show people, I believe that in the future you'll be the bank yourself.
And if you're not the bank yourself and you're late to the party, then you're going to have to play catch up.
So I want to teach people about tokenomics, make them understand, you know, what that side of it really means, what possibly, you know, tokenizing some of your assets and things like that, like education on that platform as well.
So I really just think it's time for people to understand all that before it's too late and you're late to the party.
So, yeah, Doobie, go ahead, bro.
Oh, what's up, everybody?
I just wanted to ask, like, is there like a certain cap on the mint?
And like when you do mint more tokens, like what does that do for the holders?
Like, do they get, does their supply go up or like, how does that work?
I'm just curious.
Yeah.
So it'll, it'll cap out at 420 billion.
I did do a really good write-up on it too, up here that you might better understand just reading it.
You know what I mean?
Cause it's nice to be able to read it in detail.
I do a lot better by hearing it.
Like I don't read a lot of shit.
So that's my last question.
No, no, you're good.
Um, and I'm going to answer it for you.
But, um, but yeah, 420 billion tokens and how you guys benefit, it goes to the rewards pool for you guys to claim as holders.
So it literally, as when we met, it just goes to the rewards pool.
You guys go claim.
That's all I needed to know.
Absolutely.
Yeah, no, we, that was the biggest thing is increasing your position as we met, because we wanted to make sure that you guys were able to hold your position and even possibly overachieve it.
Right.
And that's, that's kind of the whole thing is I want to create something that like everyone involved gets rewards.
And if you're staying here, there's always a way to achieve that.
And then if you want to cash your rewards out for ETH, you can, if you want to hold and stack, cause the more you're holding, the more you can claim next time.
Um, and you can claim every day if you want to right now, the volume's a little lower, so I don't recommend an everyday claim.
But as the volume picks up, the proof's in the pudding with the math, we've already proved concept, which was great.
So we have it set and ready to go.
And, uh, now we're just ready for takeoff.
Yeah, you got a doobie.
Go for it.
Oh, one more.
As far as like being a liquidity provider to Lily, like, have you figured anything out about that?
Like, I'm going to be honest with you, like, once I tried to kind of figure it out in tokenomics and everything, like I pulled my liquidity out most of it just because I wasn't getting rewards on it.
You know what I mean?
So I wanted to get it back in my wallet, but at the same time, like I want to create a little volume, like, and help chart out.
But, like, is there anything you've, like, planned for in the future as far as, like, liquidity rewards and, like, providing liquidity, like, maybe to an LP or something?
I don't know.
Sorry, let me unmute my mic.
So, basically, on the liquidity side, uh, I'll just read this to you.
So, what we're looking at is liquidity providers receive rewards directly from the main token supply.
A percentage of the minted token goes to liquidity providers ensuring sufficient liquidity.
15% goes to a company wallet providing resources for development and project growth.
Um, what that means, it's a little complicated.
I don't want to misspeak on it because I don't, I don't truly understand LP the way I understand the tokenomics itself, but I will post something on that so that everyone's aware of how that works exactly.
That is probably the one thing that I don't fully get, and I promise you it's because I've been trying to break away from what the norm is in LP, and I'm, I'm going back and forth with the dev and chat GPT, and, uh, and I'm, I'm thinking that, that I found a unique way to utilize LP
and the reward system there, so, uh, that is something in mind, uh, my understanding is there is a factor there, but I don't want to misspeak on it, uh, LP does complicate things a little bit.
I know that we're putting liquid into LP, and I know that that is, uh, stabilizing the price, and I understand that part of it, but I will get back to you on that, Doobie.
Yo, let's go, fam, and, and, you know, I was around for the launch, it's kind of funny because I've, I've invested in different tokens before, um, and obviously a lot of people have been burned by different tokens, like, I get it, I, I understand there's probably a lot of people in the room that are like, tokens, they shy away, I get it, um,
talking, not the can of buddies, like, this was probably, like, several months ago, and, you know, for one, I did not know the founder, you know, whoever was behind the token, the devs, was not doxed, and it was just a bunch of hype behind it,
and I promised myself I was never going to invest in something like that again, but I personally, I bought into Lily just because I know Stoner, I know that he has control of the contract, and, uh, I've known this dude in the space for years, you know what I mean, like, good intention, so, that's the reason I, you know, I've got a bag of Lily, but it is kind of, it is kind of interesting, though, because we've never, you know, building with buddies, we've had people come through and share their IP, you know, the homie Patrick Pinkerton, he doesn't have an,
he doesn't have an NFT brand, you know, he just has his, you know, his IP and the company that he's built using his, Ellie's IP, you know, a brand that's since rugged, but, you know, he's still doing his thing, and we have NFT brands, you know, so this is the first time we've platformed a coin, but, but I truly do believe, because it is, it is a little different, it is something that we haven't seen before, and, uh, it's the homie, you know, so, so I'm bullish, I'm bullish, I got me a little bag, and I'm, uh, you know,
I'm holding, holding for the long run, um, anything with an early market cap really does interest me, something legitimate with an early market cap, let me, let me put it that way, because I know some people see low market cap, it's funny, because people want to be early to things, but they don't really want to be early to things, you know what I mean, because they're scared of being rough, so, kind of funny, you know,
we're going back to the psychology thing, but, kind of funny to see, but, but yo, stoner, pretty cool to see, one week since launch, um, things are looking good, you guys have a solid amount of holders, I know, obviously, you know, the goal is to get quite a few more here in the near future, and, you know, really build this out, but, uh, I'm interested in the rewards, fam, I'm looking forward to where I can claim, and, you know, get a bag off of just holding, you know, that's always, that's always a fun thing, so.
Oh, uh, some alpha too, guys, everyone was like, where can I see my claim, so, we don't show the claim of the rewards on the dashboard, because it's literally, it's ever accumulating, and it's ever changing, right, because as people claim, and as people add, had, uh, add buys in there, it, it constantly changes, so, the way to see your rewards in live time is use wallet guard, if you use wallet guard, it'll tell you exactly what you're getting, and you can say yes or no,
so, that way, you know, if it's above your mint value, here's a couple factors to consider, though, that a lot of people just kind of forget when they're going to claim, if you want to accumulate tokens, the best way to accumulate tokens is to claim your rewards, right, because the more you accumulate, the higher that accumulation becomes, now, if it's $10 to, to mint, to, or for gas, for those tokens, okay, and it's $10 worth of tokens,
just remember, you're saving money, as far as buying on the market, because you're not paying the market fee, and you're not paying for, uh, as much slippage, so, it is actually a good deal, in that sense, and it does change the dynamic of what you're able to do there, so, a lot of people don't consider that, but if you're into claiming the rewards, and you do believe in the growth of the token,
I recommend to start grabbing them, but use WalletGuard, because that is going to be your, your way to know exactly what you're paying, and exactly what you're getting at that exact moment, so, that, that's probably the biggest advice I can give on that side of things, because the rewards are being claimed, um, we are continuously stacking rewards, we had a, we had a bot drop, because, you know, in this, in this game, it's different than when you're, uh, in the OpenSea market, you can see who the bots are,
it's, it's, it's actually marked, or you can tell by how much of the number they buy, and then at, like, what time, sometimes they'll buy, like, at the same exact second, and that's not possible, so, we, we know who the bots are, it's marked, and we had 10 bots dump out, from the banana bot, uh, last night, at the end of our space, well, when I was going to close the space, then,
I woke up this morning, to, uh, a half ETH buy, or, yeah, no, uh, yeah, a half ETH buy, and, like, four or five more buys, so, that was done while we were sleeping, uh, more people joined the telegram, we have our 100 people in the telegram, and I want to reiterate this, no alpha, no, no funding at all, we are not paying for anything at the moment, uh, we do plan to use funds for things as we grow,
and we were going to build that, but this is kind of, the best way it was put, uh, and it wasn't by me, DJ Dave said it really well, this is kind of like being in a, a slow launch, where it's growing organically, you're seeing more people added to it, you're watching, you know, people buy a little more, accumulate, all that good stuff, and at the same time, uh, it is already out on the market, and so, at any moment, it could change its trajectory quickly, right,
but you're, you're able to get in early still, because we did not pay for alpha, we did not push this in an unorganic way, like Lily's followers, I mean, we gained 500 followers in, like, a little over a week, so, uh, almost 500, 450, that's pretty cool, um, I'm super bullish on that, it makes me feel really good to know that people like the concept, not everybody's gonna buy in right away, I understand how this works, um, I, I think that the gamification here is the reward system,
and then how you decide to utilize them, and, you know, we're not self-shaming anybody here, this is not NFTs, I do not care if you own any Lily, I don't care if you own all the Lily, we're still homies, I still run around here with all you guys, don't feel bad if coins aren't for you, and you don't wanna buy it, like, I can't stress that enough, but, if you've never been in a coin, this is a cool one to get into, and I'm telling you, like, a low entry,
something that, don't break the bank, don't, don't think you gotta go get a loan, or anything like that, like, if you got, if you got some spare change laying around, and you were gonna kind of, like, fuck into an NFT that you don't even know about, maybe it's a good time to just consider looking at Lily, talking to some of these community members here that have it, and that are involved, and just see what it's all about, and it's a good learning experience, it's a unique tokenomic structure, uh, I definitely believe they're gonna copy this, because it, it really,
the math works, we've already shown it works, and now, like, we've, we've already done a liquidity pool, uh, we locked it, we, but before we locked it, we added more to liquidity from the liquidity wallet, which also holds, it also holds over, uh, over a billion tokens, as well, and that's after we already did the first round, so, it's, it's a unique dynamic, uh, you can learn a lot here, there's tons of education, there's great people coming into these spaces with us,
I run a lot of them to where, you know, everyone can learn, everyone can talk, we have a good time still, um, but, you know, it, it gets you into this side of things, uh, I, I don't care if you buy my token, but if you're into NFTs, you, you gotta start looking at this stuff, because you're so early to these other opportunities out here, I'm talking the big ones like XRP, and, and ADA, and, and, you know, DAG, and, you know, I go on and on, I'm a total nerd about this now,
and that's what I waited for to launch, was to make sure I understood this, just like I do any market, I want to know it in and out, I want to understand where the holes are, and then I want to find ways to fill them, so, this is Lily, she's the queen, she has arrived, she looks like a meme on the surface, she's very brandable, she's fun to make memes with, if you're into that, we have a lot of community members that are, and they've done a great job, and I'm, I'm super bullish on everybody who's been a part of this, and I think we're going to continue to grow really well,
and I would love to have more people involved, and just, even if you're just getting into this, because it would be fun to be your first experience, and to give you the journey that we're going on, so, thank you for giving me the stage tonight, Canna Buddies, I very much appreciate it.
Yo, it's our pleasure, fam, and, you know, again, you know, I, I don't have any, I don't have too many questions to ask, just because, it's kind of hard, because I've been in so many of your spaces throughout the week, I feel like, you know,
I, I also don't really, I feel like I don't ask the right questions, personally, I'm not, I'm not super, you know, I don't know a ton about tokenomics, I'll be completely honest, I really do, like, I appreciate all the thought, and the way this is structured,
and again, I've always been more of the guy who invests in the person, I've always been like that, I, don't, don't get me wrong, I like the business plan, I like hearing that people are building something genuine,
but I, I invest in the person more than anything, so, um, I picked up a little more lily just now, probably gonna give some more away throughout the week, I know I got that one giveaway up with, uh,
the homie Crypto Ken up there, so, you know, it's just one of those things, look, you know, I want, I want everyone to have a hycoon, I want everyone to have an RAF,
I like what these people are building, I want everyone to have a little bag of lily coin, you know, um, so, I, I appreciate it, appreciate you coming through,
fam, hopefully, uh, you know, hopefully that, uh, people, this, maybe lily will be the coin to kind of save people from the, you know,
bad taste that a few prior coins from their favorite influencer, you know, have, uh, you know, left a bad taste in their mouth,
because, you know, that's, that, honestly, it's refreshing that a homie drops a coin, because I'm so tired of the, uh, the paid promo type stuff,
you know. Shit, dude, real quick, I just want to touch on something, too, um, you know, I, I, I was part of
network, I bought into network coin with Shill and Villain and Bark and, and them dudes, and they're like
spaces gurus, obviously, right, they drop their coin, and then literally they don't do a space for a week
as the coin crashes to the floor, never seen anything like it in my life, I bought into bullish traders coin,
uh, I got some of my tokens, the other tokens that I bought with the other wallet, I didn't get
for like two or three weeks after he was done on vacation again, and, uh, and, and by the time I got
them, they were, they were down to the bottom of the floor, it, it, it seems to me that for the most
part, guys, and, uh, I, I don't care really who I fit here, but a lot of these people are only here for
one reason, it's themselves, and it shows, right, and they're great at hyping shit up, but they're
really bad at execution, uh, we've gone through the execution part, now we're in the build part,
it is really hard to get to this level in a token, no matter how you, even if you put a ton of
liquidity into this, so the fact that we're still here, it's not just because of me, it's literally
the community, it's the support we have, I think that we are building something different from the
ground up, and, uh, when, when, and if, well, not if, but when we get to the point where we see the
volume we want to see, this, this mathematics, the tokenomics that you're going to see is going to,
it's going to cause exact chaos in this space, because everyone's trying to fade this, they don't
want to let me talk about it, people that I know really well, uh, have done a great job at blocking
us, they do not want us to win, guys, I promise you, because if we're winning, they're not, and now
they're not, they're, in their mind, they're not early to this, we've had some great support from
some great people, um, and we'll continue to get that, but some of these, some of these big
influencers out here, um, great to hang out with, you know, fun personalities, love them to death,
but, uh, as far as, like, dropping coins, even bullish trader, like, he's a trading professional,
and, you know, he'll probably say he wants to fight me after this, hopefully not, but, you know,
what are you doing, bro, like, grow up, get to work, you can't drop a token, and then just bounce
on everybody, uh, especially when you put that kind of money through, and so, for us,
I like the fact that we did this with no money, uh, literally half an ETH is all I put into this,
I obviously had to put more money into, like, the development side, and, and just
launching the smart contracts cost half an ETH alone, but, uh, you know, small, small entry for
us, and then a big, big opportunity for the community, because everyone who's here that drove
this price to where it is, it's because of you guys, it's, it's not because of me, I created a
foundation, and people are adopting it, and that's what makes me really bullish about where
we're going with this.
Can I jump in real quick, and just say that we just went from four and a half to five and
a half, with six zeros, there was a $1,200 buy.
Unbelievable.
Let's go.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, I didn't have, I didn't have a, I didn't have a $1,200 buy, I'll tell you that, I had
a few hundred dollar buy, I don't know about, I'm not in front of, uh, I'm not in front of
the chart right now, but yeah, no, that's, uh, that's what's up, fam.
Yeah, I'm trying to get, uh, trying to get the homies in, and yo, real quick, I will say
this, just because I know we are gonna wrap up the space here soon, well, if anyone, first
off, I'll say, if anyone has any questions for Stoner, D-Gen, and Lily, Coyne, uh, feel
free to ask away, I know we had a few already, but, um, yo, Poochie, is that, you sound a
lot like Bagel, that's not Bagel, is it, my true name?
No, it's, it's Poochie.
Okay.
I've got about 22 years on Bagel.
Okay, true, sorry, I, dude, I'm pretty high right now, so we can blame it on that.
It's Louisiana and South Carolina accents merging together, huh?
That, dude, that's gotta be it, dude, sorry, I'm tripping over you.
Oh, no, that's absolutely right, bro.
All right, word.
Well, yo, yeah, I will say this real quick, so, um, on my personal account, at NFTRespect,
you'll see them in the crowd, if anyone listening who's live in the space right now DMs me, um,
I will send them, if you're a buddy holder, only if you're an OG buddy holder, I'll send
you at least a, I don't know how many, but I'll send you a few million Lily at some point
the next couple days.
Uh, just send me a DM with your wallet address, but you have to be an OG buddy holder.
That'll be the one stipulation, so.
So, and I'm not gonna say that again, all right?
But if you shoot, well, all right, by that, I mean, I'm not gonna post it.
It's not gonna be a post, but if you're in the space, you know, you know, so, yeah, shoot
me a DM with your wallet address, and I got you with some, try, got, want to get, want
to get some more buddies, got, want to get some more holders in the coin, so.
But yo, um, yeah, Stoner, is there anything else you want to touch on on the coin?
Or, um, I know, I know that was a lot.
I don't mean to, I don't mean to say that that was not, uh, an abundance of information
on it, but.
Uh, I could just say we hold a lot of spaces, guys.
Uh, we do have a telegram.
I have my Stoner Discord if you want to go there too.
Um, we're here to help and educate.
We're talking a lot about this stuff.
So if you're more interested, please come into a space.
Uh, we do schedule them.
We also just throw them up.
I'll probably be throwing one up here in a minute, uh, after this space ends.
Well, I will be.
So if you guys want to come in and hang out and, uh, learn more about that, feel free.
And, uh, we can, we can answer all the questions you guys might have about the coin.
Let's go.
Yeah, no, that is, that is definitely helpful is the amount of spaces that you guys have.
And also, yeah, not your favorite influencer launching a coin and then not, you know, going
radio silence for a week.
No one likes that.
We all like transparency and, uh, we know that that's what we get with you fam.
So, so congratulations on the launch.
Uh, definitely exciting.
Um, pretty interested to see, you know, cause we, you've been on the show before, but obviously
the first time sharing about Lily.
So interesting to see, you know, down the road, what this progression will look like.
You know what I mean?
So very, very interested to have you a few months from now and we'll be like, yo, you
know, um, the amount of holders, the market cap, you know, it'll be cool looking to see,
you know, what kind of rewards people are claiming for sure.
So, all right, guys, um, Tourette's, you've been super quiet all space.
It's totally fine.
I'm not trying to bully you or anything.
I just didn't know.
Is there anything you want to touch on or anything or anything I'm missing before I
kind of do the whole close out of the space or, or are you, uh, dude, honestly, man, I've
been like slightly ruggy the whole time.
Um, so, so I won't have much to add, but you know, from, from the bits I've heard, you
know, so, you know, I love what I'm hearing.
I'm bullish on Lily myself.
Um, I'm definitely going to be getting a bag here pretty soon.
So you guys don't sleep on a, don't sleep on Lily and don't sleep on those other projects
up here that came up tonight.
All of them are doing awesome things.
Um, but no respecter.
I don't have anything else to add.
Um, always a good Wednesday with the buddies, man.
For sure.
All good.
Look, dude, I know you're playing with the puppy.
Look, dude, I would rather be playing with your puppy than doing building with buddies.
If we're being honest, I mean, I'm over here.
We're platforming the homies.
I get it.
I know this is more important technically, but dude, that puppy is damn cute.
So you're going to get a pass.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hit me with the fart.
Oh my gosh.
All right, guys.
This has been week 55 of building with buddies.
Thank you guys all so much for coming through.
It's been an absolute pleasure as always.
Please make sure you are following these brands, what they're doing.
I don't just mean their account.
I mean what they're building.
Keep up with them because we've had some real ones on tonight for sure.
So also please show some love to the pinned posts up top.
Um, again, you don't have to retweet them.
Give them a like, just show a little love.
And the biggest shout out all of you guys in the audience that, uh, you know, listen to
us hanging out on another Wednesday night, 55 weeks straight.
It's pretty significant guys.
Um, yeah, what's up Sonar or real.
I'm sorry.
Oh, you're good.
I'm going to go ahead and put this space up real quick.
So if anyone wants to come in, cause I know how this goes, if I, if we all leave, then
no one will show cause they'll, they'll lose it.
Um, and our attention spans are short.
So I'm going to throw it up under Stoner's name real quick and then, uh, I'll, I'll get
it tagged up here.
Sounds good.
Sounds good.
Fan.
But yo, don't anyone dare leave this space until I do my outro.
Okay.
All right.
I got a classic.
I got it.
You know what I mean?
I already messed up my intro because I'm shouting out the musical homies in the space.
I can't mess up the outro too.
You know me, I'm super weird about these kinds of things, but all right, guys, thank
you guys so much for coming through.
All right.
We've already done that.
Thanks guys.
I appreciate it.
Make sure you guys, uh, I guess roll over to Stoner DJ and host in the space right now.
Um, I'll pop in there, I guess a little later, but I've got a few things I got to take care
of real quick.
Um, like walking my own dogs that are not as cute as Tourette's, but love you guys.
Thank you guys for pulling up and, uh, we will catch you later.
Um, peace.
