about my lines I think just because of your space with yourself you know so like let's do it let's
go you know and I tell them the same thing I'm like man you know I could always ask to co-host
you know but I just waited for the right moment you know because I was just like you said I was
building making those right connections making that trust you know uh that crossing that bridge
of me is he like somebody else is he like the same person do we see something new on him you
know is he like bs you know and I know where you guys coming from you know because I'm just
jumping around community so I seen firsthand how what it is to you know seeing a bullshitter
you know excuse my french you know but um you know I was there you know proving it wrong you
know showing up every time you know um being one of those three percenters like they say you know
when people get invited to things like this you know seven out of three people you know they show
they say no they come up with excuses and three people actually come up you know
they want to change their life or they're just interested in opportunities so shout out to all
you guys right here you know um that are just coming here trying to change your opportunity
or just want to know what's going on and finally what's going on with us right so first of all
infirmers you know before we start I'm not sure if you want to start right away or should we get
some people you know some time to come in uh I up to you really I'm always a fan of just let's say
starting straight away because people will always play the episode back and and whatnot but I've
just sent some tweets out and we'll see if anyone else from the cheer community comes in but
yeah let's let's let's keep it rolling uh oh I see Bradley's on stage oh sorry sorry to cut you off
that JD go ahead good I was just repeating it with you you said keep it rolling I said let's run it
hello friends how are you I'm so pumped for JD I'm so pumped for Expo Heedy to be here
I'm excited for them to be on Gia finally I've been toting a good word uh on TikTok for quite
a while now and uh I know JD's been listening he just needed to take that time and and and gather
his community in in a sense and uh take his time to come over here but super pumped you're here man
super pumped I was obviously in the space earlier today get to hear a little bit about the project
and what you're doing with it super exciting I love the energy of it as you know that's always
been kind of my vibe and that's why we've always kind of jive JD you know JD is one of my oldest
friends on web 3 we started on TikTok together he's been a mod inside of my discord since I've
had one and he was a mod and a member of the community that I started in web 3 with which
was Gorilla Pimp Squad so um super pumped love this guy with all my heart um would do anything
for him so so glad you're here man you take the stage back at you man back at you dude thank you
for the kind words like once again you know it truly means a lot to me honestly you know since
this is being recorded people can come and listen to the the the truth you know from JD you know how
how those words really um you know some people might might not understand this but it's very
important for me to say because maybe there's some people out there you know that are doing
the same thing as me you know there's a lot of people you know who are supporters they're jumping
around communities but they don't get the credit you know people don't don't want to recognize
them for whatever reason we'll be talking about one of those legends in a few minutes here you
know but I was one of those you know um and I'm still one of those you know but hearing those
words from you guys it's just like man I can find any kind of breathe right like it's worth it you
know um me and Exvohiti kind of went back to our discourse after the first space and we were like
dude uh what was it virtual high five you know and if it literally felt like it was a real high five
like a real accomplishment you know like a team member kind of stuff and it's like me if you guys
know a little bit about me you know I'm a brain and there is some survivor at 19 years old and
that kind of led me to being housebound you know so I don't get to go outside I'm not part of a
work team you know I did did my college you know thing because I was forced to do it you know
forced to believe that in society hey you have to go to college get good grades and blah blah blah
I did it all that and it still didn't work for me so my answer was housebound right um so I don't
get to experience those kind of things and to experience today you know for a long time you
know what it is to accomplish and feel you know like um satisfied I guess in a sense you know
with a team member is just huge accomplishment you know and it's just like oh man I could keep
it to myself right like yeah me yeah you know but the thing is like I do this I remember moments
like that why I came into this space and it's like how dare I keep this opportunity when
others are seeking this opportunity and that was just my thrive from from the
gecko from this beginning you know how the WWE PHP where it means worldwide people helping people
where it's just all about support one another you know how how can somebody just be in your life
and just impact it you know and they flourish into something that nobody thought it was possible
I never thought I was going to be up here hosting my own event you know speaking this you know and
now trying to like uh kind of quote and quote change the world you know so a little bit about
all that you know through the power of web3 right technology I wrote this down you know um JD also
I'm a CEO and founder of JDI agency you know we found Exvahiti down over here and with his help
and telling and caring we created a digital platform called WWE PHP as you guys are here
celebrating mint day you know we stood for the worldwide people helping people this online
space serve the virtual community where individuals could connect collaborate and support
one another just like how we're doing today you know and create this possible change right
all the members of WWE PHP started sharing their stories ideas in the initiatives sparking
inspirations you know collabing across other communities you know with each other artists
you know activists and everyday people just like me and you we started tackling global challenges
you know um to this year for the second year WWE PHP and JDI agency and with many others in
this room as yourself we ended up accomplishing second round of giving our socks to the homeless
here in Los Angeles and that was a huge accomplishment because even though it was
only 144 pairs it was our second round you know and that's what really uh was meaningful for us
that we can impact our local communities you know and if we create an NMT project and just show
people what we can do and duplicate that and so they can do that and start impacting their
communities i was like why not you know and that what has inspired me you know to to continue this
journey you know but JDI agency myself you know i understood that real change required more than
just online connections you know more than just buddy buddies right we started dedicating and
carrying spirit because they became the heartbeat of WWE PHP you know uh we started listening to
one another caring for one another you know being there for one another texting whatever it is
you know more than just liking and commenting and retreating right and just keep on scrolling
you know um infusing this community with a sense of purpose and unity right all of us are members
we found that not only a platform was collaborating with a family with support but encouraging one
another it was just huge right in the end we found that WWE PHP is not just about success or
a digital platform or the impact of the individual initiatives right it's about enduring belief that
when people come together just like how we're doing right now we empowered by technology and
driven by compassion they can create we can create a world with people help people and positive
change knows balance you know and that's where i was very interested in you know and today we're
celebrating that you know um we're celebrating also a um celebrating the opportunity right the
opportunity of the energy to put out the universe you know and all of you guys here legends you know
i just want to share uh one of our members you know named stones right now it's uh he's here you
know so if you guys can give him the mic you know he can kind of like share his little story
but uh we also want to dedicate this mandate towards him you know um thanks to some few members
and partnerships on our and our communities we found uh we gather a package for this young man
and in a few minutes he's gonna he's gonna explain why this package is very important to him but
inside this package there's an ipad there's the iphone xr and there's a portable solar panel uh
battery charger to charge all these accessories and once again you know in a minute he'll tell
you guys why it's very important um but this guy's been in the community just like me supporting
so long but technology is what's stopping him from moving forward and showing him his true
potential you know and once again we're worldwide people are helping people so we believe if we can
just support him and giving him the right you to uh you know the stencils i guess technology you
know the equipment he will flourish in this space like no one can believe right um so we gather here
you know and we ask you for our first task you know um we're gonna be uh pinning you know our
website on top you know more than just minting we also launching our merchandise you know uh through
spring uh t.com you know and we put all our profits to ten dollars apiece so for the first
ten merchandise that we sell all the funds are going to go towards that package we're also going
to be using our community funds to be helping uh send that package to nigeria you know um and
it's just to show community that's so so so little right if we can all come together and just buy one
we can send the package over towards to stones and just imagine that package can change his life and
now where he lives in nigeria web 3 as you guys know it's very uncommon to be talking about it
and if he puts a hundred percent and he has equipment to it the possibility is the sky's the
limit right and i don't know about you guys but i don't want to wait for him to make it possible i
want to help him make it possible you know so i believe with the help with you guys too
that can be achievable you know we're also going to be um pinning on top with task number two
the person is funny you know how the universe works but i believe that everything happens for
a reason the person that actually put this package together for stones you know um isn't able to pay
for the uh the shipping you know because he got a phone call you know later on putting this package
about his brother passing away you know um which is which was okay you know about being a big
brother he had to step away for a couple of days and deal with that problem while he was dealing
with that problem he ended up getting two three phone calls and that's just one brother another
brother but an ad passed away you know um and once he was dealing with all that kind of stuff
he had to come to the community and say hey i'm i'm stepping away and once once he stepped away
he got a phone call from another little brother that his sister committed suicide you know um so
now he has four days in his life now he's in financial needs he created a go fund me and so
we're making task number two you guys know and i hope you guys never been in that situation
i personally haven't but i just seen it through tiktok and how many others you know in throughout
the community understand crypto ducats you know i like hey man i've been there you know so they
know that financial needs is crucial so a dollar 10 10 cents or whatever you guys can do and send
that guy over you know to help him with the go fund he will be crucial you know um and it'll be
great you know um and if you guys buy 10 merchandise on the website after the 10 the five next merch
of merchandise will be donated to his go fund me um only the sad news about the go fund me is going
to be shut down tomorrow so honestly we only have today to make this happen ladies and gentlemen no
pressure you know um but i know i'm talking talking a lot a little bit you know uh i just hope that
stones origins where he can come up and talk a little bit about you know about what the nft gives
you access to you know stones a little bit about what you really want to do with this um package
you know in the future of ww php and web 3 um but once again ed i just want to just give
you a shout out you know for giving us your time you know um just to kind of spread positiveness
you know and sharing our story and just uh celebrating this uh beautiful day that i think
is just the beginning of something huge you know and then down down the end we're gonna be um
thank you once again you know so that's enough about me you know how you guys doing
yeah that's great jad just brilliant to hear your story as always and you know obviously there's
some uh tough moments there some tragedy and and whatnot but it's it's always inspired you to
do more let's say work harder work on solutions not get sucked into the negativity it's just
front foot forward that's why you're so positive pragmatic and where you stand out uh so yeah i'd
love to ask a couple of questions and uh find it a little bit more about you and the project but just
to confirm it is the name ww php i think i think i've pinned it in so i'm pretty sure that's right
but uh what does ww php stand for okay ww php stands for um worldwide people helping people
you know um and it's just simply what it is you know people all over the world you know collabing
at one you know inside community like i said just sharing uh each other's stories you know
and just finding solutions you know um we found out that each other's talents or skills
can go a long way and possibly change uh the world you know um so we we out here you know
uh being um a testimony to that you know absolutely yeah so worldwide people helping people
look really nice and uh yeah when did i kind of know the answer to this but when did you get
involved with the cheer community at the in the first place
oh uh i think art with heart invited me to a cheer community you know like hey man you need
to take these people out they're so positive they're just like you you know um and that's exactly
what attracted me in the beginning you know um i just honestly you know being transparent as always
uh cheer at the moment was very expensive it was like 60 something dollars you know so i was just
like man i just wish i could go in there you know uh you know like really go in and support
like how i really want to you know um because you guys uh already were doing what what everybody
kind of wants to do you know sit here kind of talk between you guys you know you guys be running four
six hour spaces you know and that was really like cool about it you know like hey man these guys
these guys talk about cheer oh four for six hours that's crazy you're like damn this is really good
you know like and i just became a mod for uh for art with heart too so that i got very involved
with that you know checking out the channels all the information in there and i just knew that
you know i was going to come back you know um and then i kind of left out of it you know um
i think uh art with heart got like he was getting trying to get like uh married or he did get married
you know but he was prepping for all that and i could we kind of just left left it alone and then
Canadian crypto down there got very involved with you guys as well with the mining and everything
he met the ceo i was just like whoa and i was i started becoming an admin for him so like
i started you know involving you know talking to him and how he was very excited with chia
and all the all that conversations was like i know bro i know i just need to get there i just need
to get there you know so when i got introduced with this opportunity to start my NFT project
on salona damage god you know when they had me this project um and we found out there was
a lot of like errors and in a contract you know the the art was copyrighted and i just didn't know
if it was okay to like fix it or i didn't even have the funds for to fix it anyways i remember
you guys you know um not only because it was uh easy and accessible and financially uh the way
to go but i told my community since day one i was like yo we need the support you know we need to
people like us since we're gonna be you know like because back then it was damage god right
like turning something damage to something godly whatever your definition is it was still all about
support supporting one another like mentally you know uh what your wanted needs you know so i i
just kept telling them like yo chia's like very good at this like they're very crazy about helping
one another you know like our heart is in there you know he he's all about supporting one another
like they don't even think twice about it you know i think we really need to go start you know
supporting them letting them know who we really are and i'm not sure if you guys saw it but we
came in here and there you know um and that's when i met expokiti you know um and expokiti right away
was like yo i know about chia you know and i was like yo yeah you know like let's get involved you
know if you need if you need any questions or anything like that i know i know connections
like i know we know spaces that we can enter which was you guys so we we kept telling you
you guys kept coming up you know like you and the community and the whole blockchain you know
luckily you know i call him a genius as well he's just a genius you know he he spent like two three
nights you know he didn't sleep for three days just learning about you guys's blockchain
and the more he he learned uh he kept telling me like man i fell in love with it let's go with it
you know um and just to just prove your community and end my statement you know today morning we
woke up and we found out that men garden made some changes right um and we were supposed to
wake up and met on men garden with no problem but we found out that you guys made some changes
and now it required us like to uh to chia to mint which was about like 100 bucks you know
and which is not a lot but since we're just first starting you know we didn't have the funds
uh we came across a space today that chia was having uh how to man properly on men garden
and hardwood hardwood was there too so i just went up there you know and kind of told him like hey
man we were supposed to like mint today is there any other way we could do it you know uh sadly
there was no other way but right away they were like but send us your chia wallet you know like
we're gonna help you out we want to see this going in the space now it's just like once again i wanted
to tell my community like yo this is what i was talking about like you know and once you to answer
your question that's what attracted me to you to the blockchain you know um since day one like
and it continues to do it you know and since we're all about that we just want to like literally
support the blockchain with ultimate support you know by bringing more support in there and just
letting them know like yo we started by support and now we're going to support blockchain you know
i personally don't know a lot about the the the blockchain itself but i know from some conversations
that i got in there that you guys are into hospitals that you guys just not a token you
know you guys are are like into science and you know and for me that's the future you know um when
it comes to like health and all that stuff that's the right industry to be you know and once again
it's not the right time at the right place but it's the right opportunity the auction is giving me
you know and it gave me so i'm giving it to the whole world you know so here we are
i hope i answered your question oh we got stones in the house
hey stones welcome up welcome to the stage how's it going
yo very well morning at my end oh y'all can hear me
out and clear yeah oh beautiful wow it's a pleasure man it's a big pleasure to be here and
trust me i don't take you for granted you know it's it's amazing always opening up in a space
to see legends and you know amazing people chilling and throwing those positive vibes that
i've been denied of in the real life and you know i can just thank you all you know i can
thank you less i don't know if it's the right time to just pick up my words
yeah it's fine you're a little bit muffled actually but uh i can hear what you're saying
okay just to confirm my good can everyone hear me
okay um i think i will start by asking a question so everyone here can relate
uh have you been rejected before or have you been hated before you know that that feeling of being
rejected even when you know you're doing something right you know it's it's not a good feeling at all
um that's the story of stones right here so i know a lot of people wouldn't like to hear
nigeria the world nigeria like um and i wouldn't blame anybody because trust me
a lot of us messed up a lot of my my folks my brothers from nigeria they really messed up the
space and you know i actually came as well and i saw the mess my brothers did and that began the
old journey of stones sorry and that began my old journey of stones because i am out here to
you know clear that name and make everybody or as much people as i can reach out to believe that
um they are good people from this end and there are people who are ready to throw out this
positivity out here so my full names are thomas joshua giyama and the giyama is spelled g-i-a-m-a
is an acronym in each words which means gratitude is always my attitude and um
um i helped into the space sometimes 2011 through some of my friends who were nigerians and i tagged
them as camas um life was quite you know difficult for me and i i was a soccer player and a video
editor i was frustrated in soccer i couldn't follow much in my video editing because i had
no gadgets so life was terrible and i i got to meet some of my my friends old folks and i i saw
how you know these guys were spending money they were living good and it was a good thing anyone
could do reach out to them i was like hey bro how you guys doing man what you guys up to
i would like to know what you guys are doing and they didn't hide it for me and they were like
yeah you've been a nice guy we're into a tree i would like to you know bring you up on board
and i was like oh that's cool it would be a pleasure i appreciate that and to cut the long
story short i i met with them and they introduced me like we will just download this card download
telegram and just get the wallet you know they helped me with that and okay the next thing was
like am i gonna continue with this they said okay we're gonna we're gonna like
send some message to you i'll show you how to direct people to reach out to in every community
just this is where the debt is just copy this message and paste to them it's called a proposal
and i was like okay so what's next if i paste it towards next and they'll be like yeah
yeah is if he likes it it's going to give you a job if he gives you a job you know you get paid
and if you get paid just leave the community i was like for real just like that you just leave
the community so i am from this other end where i love to think i love to ask myself
even things are going well i would like to ask myself like okay i know i was coming from a place
where things weren't going well and probably now things are going well what if things don't go well
so i do ask myself a lot of questions and i asked them a question that actually caused all the
trouble and the question was if these guys are paying you let's say a hundred two hundred dollar
you just have paid and you worked for a week they paid you
and before he comes back because he will come back that's exactly ladies and gentlemen why we
trying to give him a package you know he so many times like this you know where he's like talking
and then you know like oh come on bro you know and he'd be a legend you know if you guys don't
know stones give him a follow you know but yeah what a great guy from nigeria you know like he's
been through so much but yet he gets so back so much to this to his space and i just feel like
when he receives his package you know it's gonna go it's we're all really gonna know stones for
where he really is you know there's a there's a pin youtube video up there where uh you know
he made a video very it's more little clearly you know on youtube about his life you know where
he's coming from and why you know it's important of this space you know and kind of like the story
that he's telling you guys right now you know because we already knew this was going to happen
you know so um we we thought ahead you know once again you know those pins on top you know the first
the first 10 people that you know purchase something from our website is going to go towards
stones you know not not money wise but for the shipping cost to ship a tablet a cell phone and
a portable charger to him you know to us it's like man we have this you know we can go to a store
and buy it but you know best believe that he cannot do it you know whatever his situation is
you know it's not hard to know his situation you know we can all google it you know nigeria is one
of like the hardest you know uh countries in the world you know um i heard they turn off the the
electricity at 5 p.m so whatever you add imagine somebody just turns off the five the electricity
at five and it tells you it's time to sleep how will you feel you know mentally mentally and
physically right so um he found web 3 and he knows that with web 3 power and technology he can get out
of that situation but he doesn't just want to get out himself you know he has a mom he has a village
he also has neighbors and friends you know um so he wants to educate he wants to pass this
opportunity to everybody you know so once again you know by by purchasing somebody by supporting
us here you know either with the nft or uh you know uh with the merchandise on the website
they say or simply just retreating the space and tagging somebody you guys are doing so much
you know so um i hope he comes back you know and if he doesn't you guys that's mr stones you know
so yeah uh if you guys want to go back to questions that'd be great
i think he may be back he just muted and unmuted it are you back stones oh no he's gone okay so
maybe he'll jump back up but yeah touching on what you said there jd you were talking about
going to the website and buying nfts or merchandise i think that's going to be a big uh avenue of
uh earning money let's say going forward is the links between chia and then t-shirt stores or
merchandise stores and i can talk to you more about that later the ace fail the creator of
mint garden has just invented a service called xch pay dot me xch pay dot me and you can link up
a print if i or a a physical merchandise store to xch payments and link it up through nfts so
that's like new let's say new technology or new idea but i think that's going to be the future
as well as selling nfts you'll be able to sell physical goods oh stones is back i think stones
are you there my friend you got cut off there so sorry yeah he came up and i approved him and
then i think he got cut out again yeah those rolling blackouts in uh in africa are a beast
again that's kind of why we got involved with uh you know the projects that we got involved with
it's it's tough out there um and so i i was witness to stones uh actually earlier today
inspiring another nigerian and they're going to get together um and and that's kind of what jd
is doing right is inspiring one person to inspire another and he's seen the hard work and the
dedication and the time and energy and effort and and uh and really talent that stones has put
into the space over the last year or so that he's known him and he's inspiring others and he wants
to do this full time of just teaching and onboarding showing you know his fellow brothers and sisters
that they can put their time and effort into something true and good and be able to develop
and show a different side of nigeria and it it touches my heart and it's such a pleasure to
be able to to help you guys uh get here on chia so excited for you to be here
let's go no 100 indeed you know uh yeah your project you know exactly you know firsthand
what i'm talking about you know um and once i heard about your project you know i was all
about it too you know um in fact you know um i want to talk to you about that as well you know
maybe we can do like a round two or something like that we would love to you know keep on that
that task that mission and stuff like that you know why stop you know um but yeah man uh exactly
you're inspired you inspire me you inspire stones you know and then stones inspire somebody from
nigeria too and they for the first time ladies and gentlemen he opened up the mic you know and
that's always great to hear because i'm not sure about you guys but i was in their position as well
they're gonna judge me they're gonna say they're gonna do me you know and then one day we're just
like hey well whatever you know and now we're over here co-hosting and hosting and running our
mouths and what or not you know so like it's it's uh it warms my heart you know but the thing is that
the thing we're doing here with web 3 it's hard to find now in our work or our school size and
stuff like that or even in our own homes and families you know um some of us you know we say
hey man i spend more with you than my own with my own family which is okay but and bad at the same
time you know you gotta you gotta balance your stuff but then uh people people that say that is
because you know they really need the space and mentally you know they they really needed
that opportunity at the moment and um there's so many of us like that that just needs needs
to grasp on the opportunity and uh stones is one of them i think he's back stones go ahead let's get
it yo man guys i'm so sorry for the bad connections man and my bad and my conscious bad
bro you know we're working together changing so um thank you guys for the patience you know
like i always say a pleasure so um i hope everyone can hear me
oh loud and clear you've gotten off before i don't know if you want to go back to what you
were saying or it's up to you but uh yeah i must suck when your internet gets cut off
okay i'll i'll just love to share because um i actually don't know you know it's a crazy world
where um we don't know who our words are touching and it's just good we don't hide no information
part of the books i'm writing you know if you check the word information the first two letters
are in then you get formage formation and you know inform so it's sometimes people need to bring you
into an information they need to inform you then take you through a process of formation
that is exactly what i think africa right now nigeria need um like i was saying about my friends
who you know they came up to the space they ruined the name of nigerian and you know it's
crazy how i would just walk into a server and nobody wants like hey hello where are you from
i'm nigerian boom i just you know get this you know black-hearted kind of feel or so because
i'm a nigerian and i really can't blame nobody because my guys really did they did a whole lot
of mess and i figured out it was because of the less knowledge about web tree that they had
so it took me a lot of time to figure out you know um how this whole thing was and thank god
for people like jaydee and dog guard and um there's also pigeons of new york and amazing the
founder jim anandas amazing guys who trusted me and gave me the space to explore myself and
you know things began to change and people wanted to people wants to relate with me i can remember
winning the best the best um start in the month of april once like the last two years or so in my
bed day for pigeons of new york and you know that boosted me a whole lot that gave me more
confidence to come out in the space to talk to share positive vibes and and also um my journey
so far has really been amazing i kind of like to you're also um coming to see what people come
here in this space to do i'm from a city i'm from a village here in nigerian in show africa where
people don't care about what you're doing people don't care about how you think people don't care
about how you feel and i walk up into the space and people see gmg and good morning stones how
you doing they care about mental health right here i can't tell nobody about mental because
everyone's just out here to check for the next means they're gonna benefit from you or cheat you
or you know just you know make sure they just hurt you and go away for free like a normal dm here
that's how it is wrong mentality and all so even back here at home i don't keep friends
and you know come to webtree and i just see these guys a lot of people older than even my dad
just come up in the space and chill and you know they take more time to learn about some stuff and
i was like wow wow this is just so amazing so i tried reaching out to my friends but to let them
know that bro these things you guys are doing there's more to it i think you guys need to sit
down and you know know more about what this thing is all about like if you don't know more about
this things you're gonna end up wasting people's resources wasting people's money wasting people's
time wasting people's efforts and you don't just want to think is all about yourself brother
you know you want to think about what someone else is doing so when i hopped into crypto docket
crypto docket was just out there took me in like a song you know i applied for a more job and boom
was like yo boy stones come in like if you take care of me i will take care of you and the the
lord keep the docket and jd showed me for the first one month i was like okay damn i'm put this
nfp as my pfp and till i leave the space i'm not gonna take it out for no reason so i had so many
communities would be like yes don't just hop in and you know just change your pfp but they don't
know the reason why this pfp doesn't give my my profile picture you guys so um these things are
amazing they are life-touching experiences to me and people wouldn't understand how i out hated
out hated africans and a group of people just accepted me for just being who i am who i was
and you know it's just amazing a great feel so um i figured out my guys out there we just
lack the knowledge about web3 we lack the knowledge about nfp so all i have to sit down
for for years you know understand how the system works and time go for a beautiful man
amazing heart on the street called jd you know the funny how you always say you know the word
is possibility uh possible in a and you know those things just kept popping up by and i'm like yo
i need to stay close to this man like i i need to just stay close to this man and you know jd
wakes up with a new knowledge he calls you he shares that with you he wakes up with a new idea
he calls you he shares that with you i reached him out around 3 4 a.m midnight jd it takes just
few seconds he reaches back to you immediately he wants you to learn he wants you to grow it took
me a while before i even knew he was a married man with children and yet these guys are going
out there all stretching it out to make sure everyone is growing and you know i like this
these things i don't see these things in the real life world here where i'm staying so you see one
of the reasons i just need to come to webtree and stay because i at the families i don't have
right here the space gave it to me the amazing feel don't go to be like here bro are you doing
so i'm out of data send me or send me a wallet so maybe i'm sick send me a wallet i i'm i'm down
post-op you know send me a wallet like they care bro and i asked myself so what then are my brothers
doing if people are this naive in the space to listen to you to help you grow then it means
there's a problem somewhere people don't want to sit down and learn they don't they don't respect
process no more everybody just wants the easy way boom give me today if not today bro i'm out
no it doesn't work like that i was in dog god's community for over six months and so i wasn't
getting paid us but i was just enjoying the tea room i was enjoying the amazing energy just throwing
out if you tell me webtree or being positive in the space can you know turn out this out much for
me i wouldn't have even believed it like my eyes were not out here for all the money and all but
i i figured out the knowledge is so important like uh so i initially stone wasn't even my name
um i i had to like come up with a name where i was like whoa okay so what name am i gonna like
put out there to you know portray what i'm doing show the energy that i'm putting out here and
the name stones just it just popped up i'm like okay nice one nice one because if you're positive
in this space i have a lot of stones to show to you we're gonna feel the old vibe and if you're
negative i am so going to throw those stones at you like i don't care if you're my brother or not
because uh you can't be my brother and you hurt somebody i can't take you like a brother
webtree gave me the opportunity people i know definitely in real life i can never see them i
don't have the privilege to meet them but look what webtree is doing putting people together
where i can i can hop in just a minute i can talk five six people from different side of the world
listening to me um i i share about mental aid advocate care about what people are doing and
bro this is this is massive for me so um i i was like okay i'm just gonna go out there
and look for some amazing guys there are a lot of amazing people even hiding in our different
communities there where you know they are scared to come out and say i'm nigerian because of how
bad their own names are you see them telling you i'm from us i'm from these okay fine can we can we
hop into the vc and boom they'll never answer you again they leave so you know it's our time when
a lot of them need to know about webtree they need to know why we are here so if someone doesn't
stand out to you know clear the bad names and to everyone here in nigerian you know beaten bad
you know i am i am very sorry i'm going to talk on their behalf i am very sorry i know there are
a lot of them who are never going to change ask um jd here i don't relate with them no more even
the guy scissor today was shocked i was a nigerian he was so shocked because i remember jd was like
hey walk with this guy but you know i i just want to be in my space attract the positive who i can
attract i i open that discourse server i just had some few people in there who i know i can trust
and vouch for i'm walking out telling them okay just learn i haven't shared no server to them
i haven't told them you know you can get money i told them no get your eyes off the moon i want
you to learn just learn what these things are all about for now just calm down and learn when you
learn what this thing is all about there are a lot of communities out there who are going to value you
for the effort you're going to put out there so when i get this amazing guys freestyle yeah and
my deafness to throw them back into the space so they won't come out there with the raw knowledge
and of course i've worked with the way a lot of my people are doing if you see if this saddens me
it burns my heart to see that you know and a lot of them when they when they find out i'm
Nigerian they're going straight into my dm i'm like brother alfana or mother put your 3d did they
pay you it's all about the money for them and i was like yo i just blocked them if it's the
money for you then chill i don't think we're gonna do nothing so um these guys have been a blessing
to me they've changed they've changed my life one of the amazing things that happened to me
is giving me a room of trust believing that i can do this thing you know believing that i can push
this positive energy out there i am i'm wondering if i can touch a white man if i can change the
white man and he was like hey stones i'm happy what you're doing then oh man what about my black
guys i can i can bring i can shatter your heart anytime and Africa is a large market
Nigerian precisely is a large market so when we get to get the right guys out here definitely
we're gonna know much about webtree we're gonna do good and we're gonna help ourselves it's gonna
be a plus plus to the community plus plus to me plus plus to them and you know it's it's it's
just a blessing guys i don't know what else to say but my journey thus far i'm grateful for all
of you here for for believing in stones for believing in in in what i have to offer and
you know i i can just thank you guys less i can't thank you guys less and you know i promise i'm
out here to stay if we're a few last for the end of our life i'm here for the end of the time it's
20 months so i'm going nowhere of course you know how hard a stone is that's why i'm stoned
i'm coming to stay i'm coming to stay hard and i'm bringing this game hard to those guys who think
they are stuck they're stubborn and it pisses me pisses me off so um everyone gets ready i
hope they don't get a glass house because i'm gonna break those houses man so thank you guys
so much man because there's any question i'm still out here to throw them up man i appreciate y'all
much man fantastic hearing your story and you're taking the positive foot forward it's it's kind
of when you zoom out from like i'm in my room here in Bangkok everyone listening is well they're not
in my room i hope unless someone's hiding in my cupboard let me just check bradley you're not
no he's not that's fine uh freak me out but everyone's in their own room and you zoom out
to the top of the world and you see different people working together and it in most cases
it seems to be just trying to be positive has what's sort of drawn everyone in this room or
in your community and this space together and i think that is energy working through the universe
so we've got uh we've got some amazing people in the audience here and but i saw x sorry is it
jd expahiti expahiti uh welcome yeah mr expahiti in the house aka spirit bear go ahead man he's uh
he's uh he's uh he's uh he's responsible for all the artwork that you guys see with black and
red you know uh he learned to chill i talked about him like he didn't sleep for three days
learning about the blockchain uh also i'm gonna go ahead bro introduce yourself and he's a great guy
overall give him a follow i'll give him a round of applause everything you do
awesome yeah thanks for having me up um uh definitely glad to be here you know an amazing
amazing day that we're having here because wow you know seeing the community come together to
support um people you know across the world that you don't even know personally is incredible i
mean really think about that right most people in the world only think about you know themselves
or the closest people around them right and if we only think that way you know are we ever going to
really get anywhere in the world right like are we ever going to really solve these problems that
we always talk about no right so you know we're trying to be that difference because you know they
always say oh you know the um just the difference that you want to see in the world right well okay
be the difference that you want to see in the world instead of just waiting for the world to change
um and that's that's what we're trying to do here so web 3 technology coming out obviously right
i learned about this kind of stuff about five years ago and just started you know kind of diving
into crypto learning little bits here and there and then learning about nfts you know just even
made me more excited because i was like wow you know i'm already an artist a musician now i can
you know keep my stuff secure and not have to worry about all the other stuff that goes along
with the industries so it's really nice with that and then you know i started actually really
getting into developing um i always thought that you know one day i would probably like you know
have a video game or something like that right but i would have to hire a whole like team
to help me develop it and you know i just never had the time uh i mean actually not the time the
the money or the people to actually get you know that kind of thing together so i was like okay
well let me just go ahead and learn it myself um so i started learning everything how to code smart
contracts like solidity and you know multiple uh languages um how to build metaverse spaces using
you know unity and blender how to make you know all kinds of things anything that you would need
right i had to go and do it myself so i could basically crank out a whole project on my own
and that's why i was like okay well yeah i can crank out a whole project on my own but there's
still a problem there right i can't just you can't just be me i need people to help me promote it to
help run it right i need i need a whole community around it because you can't just have a project
on your own you know what i mean so especially if you're trying to make an impact in the world
i'm just one person what am i going to do um so you know that's why i said okay collectively we all
have our own individual talents that we're good at you know yeah i could do a lot of things but
i'm very good at a specific thing right so that's for most of us we all have this you
know one or two maybe three things even uh for some people that you're really good at
and if we all have something like that that's slightly different now the more people we add
into our collective the more skills we have collectively and we can pull it all together
to actually make an impact in people's lives right you know back in the day like um you know
i'm i'm boricua and and also too i have you know some african-american in my my family so
but you know a lot of us we we can't afford rent especially back in the day right so what they
would do is they have rent parties we all come together you know we hang out and we put together
to pay that person's rent for the house that we're staying at and you know so we kind of molded i
guess that concept in a way to say hey you know we're all buying these nfts we're exchanging them
with each other we're making all this money right not us personally but we're seeing like
you know all these people out here like not not going to name names right but there's collections
making millions upon billions of dollars right so if that's the case why can't they use at least
even just 10 percent of that to do something important in the world right to make a real
positive impact because most don't most of these collections just either you know hold on to the
money and and you know use it to just i don't know whatever just you know have parties and stuff
which is fine you know what i mean that's what you want to do um or they just have people who run
off with it and that's you know that really really upsets me because there's been a lot of projects
that i've supported in the past and then people you know that i thought were going to move forward
and then you know just oh the bear market's here so i don't know i can't do it anymore it's like
well you do know that the bear market is the best time to build right like like come on like
you know and i get it if things are tough but yo like that's what we're here for to reach out for
each other and say hey you know okay yeah it's you're struggling right now okay how can i help
that's what the whole community was for right that's what all the funds were for right so
you know and then um yeah so just seeing all this stuff developing and then seeing also
what happened with jd you know for um his damage god project because i met jd he was an amazing
person all around you know even just the short time that i've known him within the past like
was it like seven months now um and i've actually seen him around other spaces though for the past
couple years but you know we've personally been working together now for the past few months
and you know i've always seen like man this guy just really cares just simple as that and it's
hard to find that it really is like you know even in in our video chats i see him you know with his
kids you know he's he doesn't he's not like oh you know just get over there shut up you know he
actually is like oh yeah he's playing with his kids even if it's on the video like and i don't
care about that some people are like oh man why does he bring his kids and it's not professional
blah blah blah but like yo he's a father he lives at home and he can't go nowhere he has to help
take care of his children and yeah sometimes that's going to interfere with his work so if
you got a problem with that like maybe you need to look at yourself bro like you know like my gosh
so that's why i'm just like okay i see because i bought a couple damage guys myself you know
i looked at i looked into it i'm like oh shit what did i just buy you know i think because
all the traits were messed up then i'm looking in the transactions and there's like stuff going
out of the wallet and i'm like jv what's what's going on here you know i'm like i don't i don't
know man i don't want to you know burst your bubble but something something might not be right
and you know he's like yeah dude people have been telling me i've been hearing from others
you know like actually like i want to do something but i don't know what to do and i'm like all
right man well i i don't like to you know provide problems without providing solutions
so you know i understand that you're not able to pay me right now but hey you know just add
me in for some developer fees on the primary sales and then you know the digital stuff
and i'm good i'll you know i'll develop the game i'll do the nft and we'll run it dude we'll do
the whole thing we'll do it the right way and he was all for it you know at first of course
you know he has a bit hesitant he wanted to look into me and i completely understand because you
should be right especially any developer right because developers they can do really really
sneaky stuff they can add things into smart contracts that end up paying them and more and
or they can steal the contract or um you know there's all kinds of things that that go into that
and that's why i was like you know go yeah take your time talk to other people you know and he
came back to me like all right let's let's do this and i like to with chia as well you know
we're gonna talk about that really quick because you know i i really like chia as a developer like
the security features of it as well because you know you have everything there you also have the
retraceability i think is what it's called where you can actually um transactions that you're not
you know you don't want to happen you can actually redo them so that people end up yeah that's what
it's called clawback you see so you got that kind of thing um also too the fact that there's no
actual smart contract right because when you have that intermediary between you and the other
person then that contract itself can get exploited um so by having the nft token itself you know now
it's within the contract is is the token and you know there is no type of anything like that when
it transfers to the person it's theirs um and the royalties are in the like in the blockchain you
know just it goes on and on man so i was like okay everything is lining up this is how we're
supposed to do it and and i just went for it man so yeah i'm not taking any pay up front i don't
care you know whatever fine some people would be upset about that but i do not care because this
is a really like this guy seriously cares guys and that's you know he says a lot of things too
you know he's got these big ideas and and you know and i do too you know and i understand
how are they going to help the world right how are they going to right how are they actually
going to end hunger right but like think about that like these things are possible i mean are
we going to move forward like i'm kind of a nerd here maybe but are we going to move forward and
have a future like star wars right where we're all fighting each other across the galaxy or we're
going to have it like star trek where we evolve and we actually do end world hunger and wars and
all this stupid shit that doesn't help anyone excuse my language all right that's enough out of me
expo hey you are in the right community don't ever apologize for being a nerd because that's
all we all are here right and those those points that you bring up yeah that's exactly why i've
been trying to bring jd into the chia community for a year and a half right because i understood
what's going on in you know the evm contracts and all the bullshit with solidity and those
syntaxes that take advantage of people and then put people in positions where they're dependent
on somebody to pay fifty thousand dollars for a contract to be vetted properly in order for it to
not rug in your entire wallet um like i said i've known jd for for over two years now since i first
got into web three he he's one of literally the longest person i know in this space still um
and i got my my wallet rug the first time i ever bought cryptocurrency i had five hundred dollars
stolen right out of it the the second i i bought it hours later i had my entire wallet drain five
hundred dollars i was going and all that money i was going to spend on the entire community
i went and bought everybody's nfts with it it wasn't even for me to like oh i'm gonna make some
banks i'm gonna make some trades like i was going around we had 17 different nft projects that we
called the family and i was going around spending that 500 on all those projects um and i was wrecked
from it emotionally drained from it i wanted to leave leave the space run away um and you know
what because i put my time my energy my love and my passion into the community the community came
back and within 48 hours i had 500 worth of cryptocurrency and a stack of nfts in my wallet
because that's what you do you put it out forward and it comes back to you if you believe in good
things good things will happen um and if you put your heart forward and not ask for anything in
return the universe will take care of you and that's who jd is that is what jd is jd from la
jd from california he puts the possible back an impossible baby okay so yes i understand why you
love this man and i understand why you put your heart into the project even not knowing we're
having any sort of financial gain from it because it's not about financial gain this community that
we build these people these relationships these moments that we have with each other that's the
true currency that's the true gain that we get from this and money could never buy that
he gets me you know i mean y'all get me so beautiful you know and once again you know
it's uh and this is what i do why i'm doing what i'm doing because like if i'm feeling what i'm
feeling and you guys are saying what you guys are saying about me it's all because i didn't give up
and you know and uh how um what's the one gary v said recently you know somebody stopped they
keep stopping him they say you know and they keep telling him hey gary v i'm going to be somebody
and finally he stopped he stopped and got this girl's he said looked at me you know i used to
think the same thing but part of the game is to believe that you're already somebody you know and
when i heard that i was just like i've been doing that i've been telling people i believe in myself
you know and it's just sometimes you know maybe you guys are in this room you know thinking the
same thing like man i'm like i'm like jd man i put it in i have support i do this and so that
you know and i had those moments and and thoughts too you know and it's just like around the corner
it's the the light uh at the end of the tunnel you know there's light at the end of the tunnel
you know what doesn't kill you make you stronger those moments and those words come in those
moments you know and then um it's just it's patience at the end of the day too you know and
when i hear words like that finally it's just like ah i can take a break i can take a breath
again you know it's almost like refreshing you know uh worth it you know going through all those
all those struggles you know it's not even struggles because like for me it just keeps
me active you know for a survivor the more that i do even though it's small you know like sitting
down saying good morning you know waking up at five morning while everybody wants to sleep one
hour right i'm able to do it because i have the energy to do it you know why everybody has to go
to work in three hours i'm able to come in and you know and say good morning and do the job that a
lot of people wished and could do it you know but i'm here you know uh and that's what i do
and that's the model of this project where you know you can do it too but why do it where you
can help us do it you know and when you understand that concept you activate to help me help you and
when you come to this community you understand and i don't know if this space is enough a
testimony for you guys that it's not about me it's about you guys you know but when it comes
about you guys it becomes about me and it's just a cycle you know and then you people come here we
got stones we got canadian we got arabic heart's dad you know we got jacob and everybody here has
a beautiful story that we all one upon time we share you know and like edward said the universe
put us together for a reason i don't think about coincidence you know and with the power of chia
as well it's just like come on guys you know with the farming you know thinking green you know i
called it chia a sleeping uh green giant you know because it is a giant that nobody knows about
or maybe heard about you know but they can bypass it you know because they're they're chasing the
hype they're chasing the next thing you know um and here in chia we're all about leaders we don't
follow anything you know like i mentioned you guys you know the chia community have four to six hours
spaces and they all talk about the community and technology we at the top on top of everything
they get to open up new possibilities on how to bring this technology to communities you know
just like arabic heart did if he would have gave up i wouldn't have been here you know he hits me
up everywhere hey bro come through he shares that she he shares a link you know for the twitter
space he'd make sure he tags me and that's exactly what we do with php things and believes in you
know and if we all just kind of do the same thing we're all going to cherish and we're all going to
be on on a beautiful you know future and bright future you know so once again you know thank you
again uh all of you guys for for being here for all those kind of words you know uh it looks like
we have a full room let's let's reset we only got three retweets in the house i don't know seven
retweets six reposts you know so let's go ahead and retweet you know tag somebody who's in the
chia community or you know loves to support or you know they're all about you know maybe
communities or communities or you know uh uh support supporting one another or being just
positive you know uh we want those people you know um sadly you know we we understand time zones you
know uh for stones right now it's like five in the morning for me it's eight seven forty you know

wasn't feeling very well at all and just coming here and feeling the love and the compassion
and the strength um i really think that this space right here this session that you're having
right here should be named um when a community strength and love comes together um it's always
just a stone throw away and hearing from stones from zambia from from i'm sorry it's not zambia it's um
um i'm sorry what's the country did nigeria i'm sorry my friend um i have earbuds in my ear
just so i can hear um it's just you know it amazes me like i i've heard so much about nigeria
where you know and it's always a negativity i hear about there and um and to see somebody
like yourself who has the strength inside of themselves to go the other way to say it's not
about the money it's about the community it's about the people um out there you know um you
don't have to be a pirate to um you know to get through life that that there's other people who
have your same interests and uh you know and want to go out there and help other people like
yourself um that that blows me away hearing those words from you you know how how strong you are
inside um you know in this community i see so many survivors here um i got on to i started out
getting on tick tock uh two years ago and uh i since i've been off tick tock lately i just haven't
been able to do it um but two years ago i i remember the discord i i remember the drama that
went on i remember how people just like hands thrown up in the air and said where do we go
from here and then there was the strong ones like like art with heart my son i'm so proud of you
um you know said hey we got to pull this together we got to go forward you know and he did it he
just pulled it out of his boots and and and went forward with it and then met up with edward and
and edward man you've been so much of a strength here on on this journey uh and jd my god man you
are a survivor dude uh the crap that you've gone through in life and and still man you still want
to come out here and fight for everybody else um that right there just blows me away i know i don't
get on the tick tock very often anymore um i i don't know i was feeling like it was what's wasted
my time um the average time that somebody saw a piece of my art was 1.7 seconds and i never got
more than 253 views because tick tock did that to me they kept banning me um bringing it down so i
got off it for a while but tonight i'm so just very happy to be here in this space and hear all the
positivity the community the strength the love the compassion for one another um i'm just very
very glad to be here and let it get off now and just listen because my voice is going to be gone
in a minute oh sorry to hear that joe but as always what a pleasure to hear you and also
you you promote everyone else's positivity there but yourself i mean if anyone's overcome difficulty
it's you you've spoken about it in spaces before but you know you and bradley you and art with art
i've got one of the best stories in not just crypto but in in anything and it's ongoing it's
an honor to be a part of it and uh yeah big up to yourself so if you want to step down and sip some
whiskey in the audience you're welcome if you want to stay up you're welcome too but your art always
touches it's brilliant art it's mathematical it's geometric it's amazing so yeah thank you
for everything you've done and uh contributed as well to chia music and chia uh great thank you
very much um also edward today i got this miracle happen on x i could actually uh uh receive
messages and phone calls on my app now um that's the first time i get on they they they i don't
know i it's like i sometimes i can get on here other times i have to reboot everything isn't
crazy but yeah now i can actually talk to people so i just want to let you know reach out and say
hey if you want to talk um on the phone there that'd be cool i would love that man awesome
absolutely yeah great uh wonderful so yeah i don't know who would like to take the mic next i've got
other questions and whatnot but and if anyone wants to come up and ask a question or say hey
anything like that then please do but would anyone like to ask jd or or chip in yeah yeah anybody who
wants to ask questions feel free you know most um project owned not most but a lot of project
owners are afraid of questions you know they actually will kick you out of the room if you
ask the wrong questions no we're not afraid of that come on ask up we're not going to be mad at
you you know we actually encourage you to ask any questions you may have we want people to fully
understand what we're doing here and you know i'm here as the developer for any technical questions
as well yeah could i ask a little bit about your development and uh how it's been on chia compared
to other blockchains definitely um so as i mentioned before on the nft side um it definitely
is a lot more simple um you know we we were going to actually originally use the command line
interface to mint as actually uh art with heart had mentioned um but you know just for the sake
of time and and ease and also because you know we were um going to use mint garden before they had
changed their royalty uh policy basically used to mint and you could pay using your royalties
but obviously if you think about it right if they're only paying you're getting paid from
royalties well what if your collection doesn't sell then you you don't make any money they don't
make any money right so you know the platform has to make money somehow so it's understandable
they added in a platform fee now but we hadn't budgeted for it you know we do have a budget that
we have on the website that you can go check out to make sure everything is done but um you know
so we didn't have that in our budget and it just happened all of a sudden you know thankfully art
with heart helped us out with that so you know we have the the nft minted through mint garden
and you know but um the ones going forward will probably be using uh directly through
the command line interface to interact with the blockchain and i like it because again it's it's
so much simpler um you know having to type out a contract and then adding in all the functionality
and then you know because solidity itself is a little bit clunky um you know it's it works but
there's there's some things that you know like you have to do a lot of of like kind of you know
jank like uh just i don't know like not very clean coding to get things to work and i don't
like it i don't know um python is a little bit better you know and stuff like that but with
with this you pretty much cut it out you know you yeah you have to know command line but
it's very easy to learn you know and uh yeah so anybody who's like even a uh a new you know never
into coding before could actually learn about it and get set up pretty quickly so i really
like that about chia um of course the the security aspects of it the fact that as well
that chia has a very long history um you know because there's many other blockchains out here
that are brand new and and you know even like you know everyone's so hyped up on stewie right now
and it's like you know guys remember this is a new blockchain we gotta still see we gotta see if
they're gonna last like everyone's just moving like i move everything i move everything there
like come on guys you know just take take it slow but um so yeah i really like that and even though
right now there's no um interoperability or access to spatial through chia um i would imagine you
know since we're using them maybe you know we could um facilitate some type of interaction
between them too because i think that'd be really cool you know to token gate spaces on there and
stuff like that because uh we're using spatial.io to build out the gaming aspect of our uh project
because those who own the nft and we didn't really talk about the nft njd we know we gotta
we gotta i know we don't like to shill but we do gotta talk about it right um so yeah the the nft
itself there's it's a collection of 1 111 pieces of uh you know for soldiers and some quote-unquote
damage gods that are there's only five of those spread out in the whole collection so if you get
one of those very very special um and these are you know parachuting troops from the peace army
which is wwphp right worldwide people helping people ultimate airdrop peace army and um each
item that you see in the traits of the nfts will actually be your items in game as well because
we're going to be again using spatial so um they have it connected to unity and you can do a lot of
customization through unity um and they have other features in there where we um have a store that
we're going to be adding in you know new upgrades and things like that for the items but with the
nfts you'll have a set you know base of items um they'll have their own perks and extra you know
things like that that come along with it in the game so for example like if you have uh the golden
wings right you're gonna you're gonna have an extra boost in speed and maybe even jump higher
right so um things like that and the game itself you know is gonna go through series of development
we can't just launch the game right away and then you know like we want to make sure that
everything is functioning properly and also make sure that number one it's fun uh because i'm a
gamer myself you know and i've seen a lot of web 3 games come through the space and i've even
invested in some well invested but i bought into some right um and i've played them and and they're
just not fun i think you know shout out to one game that i would say is actually the closest
thing i would say to a fun game is undead blocks you know but that's you know that a very big team
developing that you know they got a lot of funding stuff like that so it's hard for smaller teams to
be able to put out something similar so with spatial you know um i guess i'm gonna shout them
a lot i'm not working with them or anything but we're using their platform but with spatial you
know it basically takes away the need for all that infrastructure um you know they have it where they
run the servers they make it accessible and it's playable through multiple different mediums so you
can play on your phone your tablet your computer or even a vr set so yeah you're going to be able
to like run around and actually pretend you know like you're playing the game and shooting right
so it's going to be really really cool um jd's recently uh got one of those
sets you know the vr set so he's going to be testing it out too so yeah for the people who
get the the first round of the nfts right where they're going to be our alpha testers uh we call
them our og generals so the people in the discord make sure you're joining the discord as well
who get um the first 100 rolls will be the og generals to help us out because um you can
there's only a max of 50 people you can have in a room at one time and even that kind of gets
to be a little too much but we're doing 100 just because you know in case some people don't show
up in case some people aren't available right stuff like that so um we still need to have
the people there to help us say hey you know when i shoot here you know it doesn't work that well
or i would actually like it better if this did that and you know that way we can as the game is
developing you know make sure it's perfect make sure it's exactly how the community wants it to go
and you know other things too along with that game i'm you know if i'm talking too much cut
me off but with the game as well you know we're going to have again that donation aspect right
so you know there's going to be in-game items that are purchasable um on spatial we there's
two different ways you can do it right there's the in-game currency that's kind of just like a
token right just like an in-game thing but then there's an actual currency um with spatial coins
and those are for real dollar value um so you know for people who are not involved in the
community directly and because there'll be like a public version of the game that'll be released
eventually um there will be that aspect where people can buy items from the shop and those
funds will get put into you know our budget and 30 of that is budgeted to go towards the donations
that the community will vote on together so we'll have initiatives that either community members or
you know the team will bring up we'll add them to a list in our discord or our um and our website
most likely and uh have people vote on them so yeah and then once we have our vote obviously
the portion from the donations be going towards that initiative and you know we're going to be
trying to partner with projects that prove that they're doing what they're saying they're doing
right because there's a lot of people that yeah say yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna build a school i'm
gonna do this right but like they get a million dollars and then okay well where's the school buddy
so uh you know that's that's the thing you know because we're showing you hey we have a budget
here when things come out we're also going to create budgets for that like when we start
building stuff in other places um and you know the proof is in the pudding you know it's just
it's there for you and um for the gaming aspects too you know as things uh further on develop
it'll be more and more uh detailed right the the alpha will be kind of just like the shapes and
basic functions the beta will have more of the textures and mappings and then um the obviously
the public will be the full on ready to go version bam you know thank you all for that
ex-wahiti you know and all this information i just want to piggyback right on it uh you know
if you guys miss anything first of all it's being recorded you guys can go back and listen to it
but as also you can find it at ultimate air draw.com i believe that pinned it to the top
you know uh ex-wahiti does a great job on making everything very simple and clear for you guys to
read understand and find information very well and once again you know we're very active in
our discord you know we're uh very active in all the other social media platforms as well so
if you don't catch us in the space that we're running or co-hosting most likely you'll catch
us in the dm somewhere else you know and we do a really good job you know like don't say in the
middle of the night dude i don't care who you are what what's your what's your question i'm gonna
answer you know i'm gonna answer and i'm gonna say what's going on you know because we never
know what we're going through you know and once again you know i've been there so um and all of
you guys been there for me so i just we gotta keep on we we gotta keep on giving back what people
give us you know and that's ultimately what i'm asking everybody is just to do the right thing
right it's almost like simply as holding a door for somebody who's coming behind you you don't
have to but when you do it who feels good who feels satisfied yeah them but it makes you feel
better it should make you feel good inside you know what the well-being and you take that energy
towards any other community or any place else in the world and you will see how much impact that
energy can go through you know and if you guys don't believe it i'm here everybody in the house
you know they give you a little bit of experience and testimony you know and i created this project
so we can keep on this movement you know we hear a lot of times in podcasts and other communities
you know and big corporations and stuff like that but we came to the conclusion that
maybe they're lying right 2023 was all about exposure you know a lot of people left this
space because it was too much for them you know not because of the community or anything like
that because of the fakeness i believe you know it's hard to uh to be fake in this space and not
say and not do what you say you're going to do right uh it's always easier right anywhere you
add to do the wrong thing and if you turn on the tv you turn on any news or any media outlet you
will see that the world is crushing down on us you know every way possible left and right you
know um and we're all kind of waiting until it happens in our homes right um expo heat is from
chicago and if you guys search what's happening in chicago it's it's very sad here in the united
states you know we're having a we're having a problem with the immigrants and all these
sicknesses you know we world war three is about to happen you know like we're not trying to change
those problems we're trying to change the the the mentality of what people watch people see
people eat people hear you know there's no reason why a 90 year old lady should go to a grocery
store and buy three three potatoes right like that that concept it's just so silly to me you know
when when we can use web 3 technology in our in our communities in in individually efforts and
challenges to uh change and shape the world into a better place you know so once again i thank all
you guys each one of you guys for being here seriously you know uh and i'm gonna go keep
going on the thank you if you guys want to i i believe stones was uh food food before i you
know i give you my my thank you speech food if you have any questions this is the perfect time thank

you pushed the button i didn't brought you i didn't realize i pushed the button my bad
just farming engagement that's okay i love it i love it i love it i love it uh yeah you know if
you want anything when you send the speaker in the mic you open up a mic guys for those
who are listening all your followers they get like this little animation on the profile picture
that tells you hey i'm i'm in i'm in the space so it's kind of like free marketing right yeah
just letting you guys know when you guys go into a space even if you guys don't want to talk
send the mic you know because you guys do a lot you know um but we do encourage everybody to listen
to uh send the mic you know and tell us you know a little bit about you guys what you guys think
about the space and uh you know a little bit about you too you know uh but with that being
said you know if we don't have any more questions i think we're gonna wrap it up here you know i'm
a huge believer and that we're all busy in any type of way you know with families learning whatever
it is so i don't want to hold you guys here i do believe in consistency so we'll be back tomorrow
11 o'clock in the morning all our events are in our in our website calendar you know in our
discourse so once again all these information is very very easy to to get you know so uh once going
once no no questions no questions jd all right one one question one question are little are
little midget aliens allowed to to play too or uh because my uh my spatial um avatar is a little
ac i don't know if you guys ever watch mars attacks but uh we got custom avatars and that
shit it's fucking awesome the ac pack lives as long as the ac pack can play yeah most likely
we'll be able to have it where you can use your own avatars still um because we're doing
everything through attachable items and backpack items mostly um so the base avatars is one that
you can switch out because we're going to have ones that uh we're going to be providing as well
um the people who are og generals will be getting a free um avatar you know that'll be usable in
the space uh based off of their nft that'll be actually usable in other spaces as well
so yeah you should be able to use your uh your own avatars too all right dope yeah because we
got a community i i know uh over where i hang out in the tang gang and we got a community of guys
we actually have a spatial and uh we uh we have a project over on pulse uh called robo rhapsody
which is uh not what you guys are doing but it's it's like got assets and shit so there might be
some people that want to run around with their uh with their assets that um you can we can onboard
so no yeah just pump for uh anything spatial i know a few of the devs on spatial personally um so
well not like personally but like online personally you know what i mean like uh
acquaintances by playing around but yeah really good people really love spatial um we've been
playing around with it over here on chia for a while so a lot of the guys have already been
onboarded so yeah really excited to see what you guys have to kind of bring well that warms my heart
that you guys are you know uh i already uh recognized spatial i o you know and then i'm
i'm very very excited to you know be collabing with other communities already into like spatial
you know with that backpack uh utility and stuff like that so um this is what we're all about you
know this is why it's important to show up you know because you never know you never know right
