Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening. How are things?
Ah, things are good, you know. Just chilling, not really just doing the work stuff.
Yeah, I had that earlier on.
I am now doing some of the housekeeping stuff and for all of the joys of living by yourself.
And I'm sure I've said this to you in message, if not in person.
It's also been a pain in the ass being the only one that can do
stuff yeah i can see that um being the only person who's able to do stuff with uh the three
households my brother my and my mom and my own i understand
yeah no that's it isn't it it's just you know like and again it'll be the same for you in that
situation right if you don't do it who else is gonna do it and yeah like if i don't cook for
myself there ain't no other bugger making me food do you know what i mean well yeah but i'm married
and it's still it ain't happening um we'll end up somewhere I don't want to go so it's just you know
I'll cook there there are aspects like I was saying that I don't need um I was in a
in a long-term relationship for I don't know about a decade maybe something like that just over
probably sort of a serious sort of planning for the future
relationship for about a decade and maybe together for just under 12 years something like that and
it's a big shock to the system not being in that but there's a lot of things that I don't miss and
you know it could be because our relationship was toxic or it could be because of a number of other
things I know we didn't communicate very well.
And I know some of that was on me as well.
Like I'm not without responsibility in the breakdown of that relationship by any stretch.
But yeah, there's just some things that I do not miss in any shape or form.
But I do miss some other things. So yeah yeah I guess everything's a trade off
isn't it
that's usually how it works
you know
you give up some good
to get rid of some of the bad
I had one of those before my current one
so I understand
I understand
and again
part of that was me part of that was me. Part of it was the partner. You know, it was both.
I think it's like anything, right? If you're, you've got to be accountable, at least to yourself, if nothing else.
Because if you don't, you don't grow, you don't learn. And if you don't learn and if you can't understand where
you might be at fault in a situation then you're kind of destined to repeat the actions if that
situation comes up again yeah and there's a lot of people who would lack that awareness and i think that's sometimes it's really sad
i i really agree with that and i but i mean for me i was i was in my mid-30s you know sort of 33
32 33 something like that when i began to understand that i was always like
understand that
I was always like
what we call
a nice person
in terms of how we
define morals in the group of people
that we choose to hang around with
but I
was a lot less willing
to take accountability
and to take responsibility
and it's a hard learnt lesson
and it's not always easy either.
It can be challenging at times.
For sure.
Maybe Mondays can be accountability Mondays,
where we get people to take accountability for some stuff.
It's not a bad shout, but I'm not sure it would be any more popular i mean i'd enjoy it um hey hey nico
hey john uh feel free to come and chat with us it's just chilled i've i've been kind of missing
for a couple of weeks around my birthday and i'm just trying to figure out how to get back into
the swing of things so just just a chill in the chat and I might get into into a topic around
a podcast I watched over over the weekend it got a bit AIE but it was interesting because
we speak about a lot of the things they talk about fairly regularly so it was interesting
seeing a group of quote-unquote experts uh talking about it but
yeah accountability mondays i kind of like the idea of that um i don't i don't know how to start
it though um apart from you know i haven't really been around for a couple of weeks because it was
my birthday yeah i'm not sure how i most people don't want to talk about the things that they've done wrong
you know or the things that they've
maybe not executed as well as they could
have and how they
want to fix that but
maybe more about
lessons that I've learned
rather than taking responsibility
for something
that's a good one too, you know.
Don't trust people without, you know,
having the backup on it or something like that.
Just on that note, actually, I saw a few things
and, you know, there's a lot of recruitment stuff happening
and a lot of open there's a lot of recruitment stuff happening and a lot of
open calls and a lot of opportunities and it just seems to be rife at the moment with
agents I guess people doing the old manipulation and convincing either someone they're not or
getting you to download something or potentially even clicking a link
into a live a quite unquite live chat and yeah just um you know a lot of people seem to be
falling for getting convinced falling for is the right word getting convinced of something that
that they shouldn't be getting convinced of and some of. And some of it's not paying attention.
Some of it's not being aware.
Some of these things are arguably getting better and better.
So, you know, just be on the watch out for those kind of, you know,
something that's unexpected.
Someone randomly sends you a message, you know,
asking you to join in with something
or you've won something.
Double check, double check before clicking on anything.
As I know, Silantos, have you seen a little bit more of that or is it just have I become
hyper aware of it because I'm kind of looking for it or something like that?
No, I think that's, you know, obviously, you know, the stuff is swinging up. When Bitcoin starts swinging up, so do those type of shenanigans.
I know I saw Sandeep had a deepfake made of him, like a video deepfake that somebody had used to try to get people to download stuff.
In like calls, you know, I'm lucky because I'm a peon and i don't have any money so nobody wants
to nobody wants to steal my money if i don't have any so that's one strategy i guess
yeah i mean yeah i guess i i also think um we've seen a bit of a levelling up in other technology as well.
Again, we're seeing it fairly regularly, but, you know,
it's getting harder and harder to distinguish what's real from what's not out there.
And it's only going to get tougher.
There are some agents out there that are incredibly good at pretending to be human and very convincing whilst they're doing it.
And I don't know if any of you guys play the good morning game on X.
If you haven't seen it, you'll start to see it soon.
But there's definitely a raft of agents going around saying good morning at the moment.
going around saying good morning at the moment and it's getting a bit ridiculous
And it's getting a bit ridiculous.
see and that's one of those things you know i guess yeah we might as well kind of segue into
that why are you taking away the one you know something that's supposed to be a personal thing
like i i'm not going to say good morning to everybody in the world i don't need an ai to do
that for me the people that i want to talk to i'll say good morning to you know or and i'm not a big
gmgm guy um but why why are we why are we taking the things that make us human and people away and
and relegating them to ai um it just doesn't make sense. AI is a tool and a
partner but it shouldn't replace human interaction.
I completely concur and I think it's one of the hurdles and challenges that
you know the modern age if you like is presenting to us
how do we not only just work out what's human and what's not but how do we maintain like
communication in such a digital landscape where you know potentially everything can be faked even
to the point of like someone on a video call and if we're not quite there yet, we'll be there very, very soon.
Like, how do you verify what's human?
How do you encourage human interaction?
And if we don't have that human interaction,
what are the potential outcomes for humanity of losing something that's been, you know,
the core of our development until this stage that that ability to
come together and because of it level up as a as a group and whatever you're doing and whatever the
output is it's going to be it's going to be i don't know i don't know what the answers are
so it's definitely something that should be talked about and it's definitely a question i like
thinking about or a point that I like thinking about.
Yeah, and I think that's one thing that, you know, we talk about it and we feel like, well, I'm just one little peon who doesn't impact everybody. But if you put a thought out there in the world, I kind of believe that this is going to sound strangely strange and metaphysical, but, you know, all the little voices, all of the people who are small can really make a difference.
You don't have to necessarily impact everyone, but if you impact one person, then that person could impact someone else.
And, you know, that's kind of how I look at it.
That's kind of how I look at it.
And I think even if you potentially have a big impact moment
at the moment in sort of the digital landscape,
you're still having that small impact in the outcome
of what you're doing or in the influence that you might carry
in that given moment.
And, yeah, it's really important
that we have these discussions even if we're not necessarily decision makers I think it's equally
important to have these conversations with the LLMs if you've got the time the effort or the
inclination I also think you'll find some of their responses quite interesting and even more interesting when you challenge them.
But it's there's some fundamental shifts coming.
They've not quite happened yet, but there are some fundamental shifts coming, some event horizons, some that we've passed,
some that we're coming to very, very quickly that we're never going to be able to to sort of return from
like once we've crossed that threshold like it's that way forward kind of thing and there's going
to be shifts to how we have to potentially manage humanity to to make sure we don't lose some of what has driven humanity to the point where
we are now. From a philosophical perspective, I find it absolutely fascinating. And I think
there's some real opportunity. It'll be tough and it'll be hard and we might not see it in our
lifetimes, but there's some real opportunity to kind of get a much more level playing field, much more parity across humanity from this and the potential for actual abundance, not the abundance that the tech geeks talk about now, but actual abundance of labour, energy, water, food and shelter. And if we get to that point, then things get really interesting.
But yeah, I know John's at work, but he's joined us on stage. And I just want to say happy Monday.
And I'm sure he's got lots to say on this, but he might not be able to right now. Happy Monday, John.
Happy Monday. What a day. What a life.
No, I have nothing to add on this.
You guys are doing great.
I love it.
Yeah.
Star Trek, not Terminator.
Come on, guys.
We should do this.
We need food replicators for that.
That's like, when we get to that point,
and I'm not for manufactured meat, lab-grown meat grown meat is not something I'm advocating for at all here.
But if we could get to the point where we could replicate food and it had the same sustenance and flavour and nutrient makeup,
then that's that's a huge part of it, isn't it? Because the supply chain for food essentially gets gets fixed.
that's a huge part of it, isn't it? Because the supply chain for food essentially gets fixed. I
mean, right now, if you look at certain things, you can see stats that say there's enough food
on the planet for 10 billion people. But 30% of that's wasted, at least. And there's people that
can't get food anywhere on the planet. So when we fix the supply chains um then there's
an argument that that abundance could already exist but anyway that that is deeply philosophical
and i'm not sure humans are ready for abundance in any stretch shape or form but if it comes we're
going to have to deal with it it's uh it's one of those things. Happy Monday, MetaRides. I assume it's Hermie.
Yes, sir.
I think the only thing I want in abundance is nacho cheese flavored Doritos.
Dave, can you make that happen?
I can't.
And it's something I'd highly recommend against
from a personal perspective.
But you know, you knock yourself out.
Okay, I'm in.
Just help me out. just wherever that abundance is
i'm in i'm sure i'm sure if you can find an abundance of dollar then you've got an abundance
of that isn't that like kind of how it all works how's every how's everybody doing today all right
yeah it's good good man good it's uh monday the sun's still shining in the uk which is an
incredible thing um and uh yeah just chilling and know, talking about AI and how it's changing everything.
But maybe not as quick as we think, but faster than we think at the same time.
I am driving at the moment, coming up on some rough areas.
So I'll do you guys a favor and just listen.
But just wanted to jump up and say hello and let you know that abundance is not all bad for certain items such as doritos i think abundance could be very very good as i
said i just think it's a something that's that trend like something that's that much of a change
like the transitional effects are going to be incredibly painful on a large
proportion of society. But the other end of it is something that could be incredibly wonderful.
And like I say, it's not abundant of any one of those things, all five. If we have food,
shelter, water, energy and labour in abundance without humans needing to do any of the work,
then at that point there's some real potential shifts in humanity.
And that future is close, like I say, maybe not our lifetime, but it's close.
And we're in the beginning stages of it and we get to impact it and influence it in many ways.
And even if it's just having this conversation in
a small intimate room in front of some people uh that no one care about us there's a real possibility
to to drive some change um just from having the conversation so yes that's that's it but we're
also chilling and chatting i can get sucked into a philosophical debate about humanity and ai any
day of the week but it is a monday and the title is chill and chat not you know massive what's the future of humanity look
like conversations so um tricky how's it going happy monday
hey it's tricky buddha from d5 Donkeys, powered by Weed on Soul.
Get yourself a bag of weed.
That's up.
I'm also sponsored by CryptoFam Radio and Evil Aliens Collective right now.
I'm going to be going to NFT NYC.
Yeah, they brought me on to the weed project, and I'm going to do a whole bunch of stuff now for multiple things.
I've got 12 accounts
now on twitter that i'm delegated to and controlling and uh so like total followers
is like 1.5 million across all of them maybe 1.6 if everyone retweets it that's following it by
the reach is like 50 million it tells you like how many how many people it could reach like
secondary they they all retweet
it and yeah it i they added like a couple more accounts recently like 200 000 accounts and the
main account is like 440 000 followers it's wild but yeah so we're marketing for cannabis on twitter
basically when the big guys come in like truly and stuff and they want to advertise, they're going to end up coming to us.
The funniest thing was when I got these accounts to delegate, I was already following most of them.
I was like, these are like all the weed memes that you see.
It's all the same accounts.
I was like, wow, there's only like two that aren't like this team of people now.
It's kind of crazy.
I'm amazed you were shocked by that in the nicest possible way.
I'm still shocked too, man.
It's kind of crazy.
But it's amazing news, man.
And yeah, you know, you've worked hard.
You want to hear something even crazier? amazing news man and i uh yeah you know you've worked a lot of this you've been you're gonna
hear something crazier my floor got swept all the way the fuck up it's like a 0.5 eth
from three dollars in 2021
and there's none listed besides me
it's fucking crazy.
That's pretty intense.
That's pretty intense.
But again, you know, you work hard, you end up getting the rewards, right?
And it just makes you look after yourself as it all happens.
You know, a lot of these things can be short-lived without notice.
And I don't want to, you know know rain on a fire or anything like that but just whilst you're getting paid make sure you're
you're paying attention and and planning and prepping a little bit dude um because I've lost
a couple of gigs that were well paid quite quickly and I've seen it happen to a number of other people
so yeah that's a massive news and
really buzzing boy yeah you're absolutely right though i mean you gotta you gotta keep working
keep grinding and that's like i'm helping like between uh 32 and 34 projects right now
so like i'm in different capacities but uh i've just got brought into the weed coin pretty big and i get like if i can hit
my my goals for the market cap i'll get like basically a two percent allocation so i have to
just uh stick with it and keep keep on doing the damn thing right but that's a good thing about
being in so many different communities and put my hand in so many different baskets to help.
There's lots of opportunities. It's just, yeah, it's kind of, it's getting wild.
Last year has been way, way, way more productive than the first three.
I'm glad and I'm happy. And I've shared your pinned tweet.
I've seen that, Scott, like some of the information, some of the people.
And you definitely need a jingle.
If you're going to come on introducing yourself like that,
you need a jingle to back it up, like 100%.
I love it.
I love it.
I made this Matrix post a while ago.
It's like, because I put my intro into a whole bunch of different places but like
I'll put it into the chat like the room or like into someone's you know reply section
and they can like hear my voice you know when they when they read it right it's like you
kind of some some people have it like burned into their memory even just looking at it they
can hear my voice in their head so I put this post out it's like you know I had you know how hard it was to hack the matrix and upload that audio file so every time you read
my intro you hear my voice in your head my best work yet it's a it's a tricky tactic to get people
to to read um well it's tricky it's hard it's not easy to to write like that and you know you've kind of either
got a natural ability i feel to to go down that route it's what is a it's a tough one to learn
is is what i'm trying to say but yeah no loads of positive news i want to say hello to prism as well
patiently patiently waiting on this monday i don't know whether he wanted to come in on all of the ai
chat or if he just wanted to say hey or if he wanted to try and make everyone use m3 a place where they can go and find all of their music nfts with a click of a
button uh but prism which which one is it yo yo yo what's happening oh my gosh it's moon day
my god this week we're going to be 80 days on the moon with the high song that's a freaking crazy
um yeah get ready for that and um yeah it's like i worked on m3 over the weekend some big
improvements so for those that don't know it is a way to bring all of your music nfts into one
playlist uh it's beautiful uh yeah it works with ethereum and polygon base and optimism
something else too and somebody's asked me for a few more chains i think tricky's saying i need to
add solana so uh yeah we'll see we'll see we'll see and then uh but we did get it so that you know
like when you're when you're listening to the playlist it highlights the track that you're uh the music that you're listening to um it will scroll down uh down the page if it
can't find it you know like scroll down and show you like what's playing currently playing so
i know that's important i know my my daughter's always asking me what's playing what's playing
and it's like just make it easier to find it and see it so uh yeah and it's and then it's like, just make it easier to find it and see it. So, uh, yeah. And it's, and then it's in this beautiful, uh, Bitcoin orange, uh, color highlight instead of that
green that that other app uses. So yeah, we love, we love that Bitcoin orange. So yeah. Anyway,
um, been a lot of fun, um, and a great ideas. Oh, and then over the weekend, also, um, put like
almost all of the ideas into GitHub.
So I've been trying to collect and get organized because I was all over the place.
So getting organized is really important.
And then I even made it so that it's a Discord bot.
And it actually pushes any changes to those GitHub issues into our Discord.
So we can actually see what's happening when I finish it.
The community inside the MidiPunks Discord can see the updates just live
as I'm making changes.
That's cool.
There's a lot happening over there.
And can you not, it might not be easy,
but could you not pull that NFT down into a small pop-up at the bottom
as well as highlighting it in the long list?
If someone's got like, I don't know, 500,
if you had it like jump in a small sort of pop-up, I don't know.
I'm just like next to the play, pause, skip buttons.
I think that the buttons you get now, I don't know.
You used to get a lot more buttons. Yeah, i don't know if you've used it recently it like all the next the previous works and
um yeah it's not like you don't really at least on mobile you don't need a pop-up but it will
just scroll right down to that that uh that nft so whether you're on desktop or on the mobile device so awesome i do love i do love like what you guys are sort of building out and and how you're
innovating and just you know making making things simple it makes me feel bad about the post i've
made earlier on about solving a problem sitting here talking about the problem you're solving
uh but yeah no you are actually solving a problem Prism and I love it
but Songs is up here too and he might have something to say
on the matter so happy Monday
Songs and then Tricky your hand went up I didn't
I didn't forget I will come back to you
It's Songs
of Eden from
MidiPunk

you guys
yeah it's
been a good
day we're having a nice conversation
like people are just sort of kind of sharing what they've got going on at the moment we were
talking about ai and i was talking about you know being being accountable before then we actually
spoke about maybe going for accountable monday songs but then thought like that's probably
probably not an idea everyone's going to get behind people people don't like being accountable
um so yeah really really well um i do just want to throw it back to tricky because your your hand Probably not an idea everyone's going to get behind. People don't like being accountable.
So, yeah, really, really well.
I do just want to throw it back to Tricky because your hand went up and I've still got a little bit more washing to hang
and it would be useful if you could ask Prism
or remember whatever it was that you were asking.
Go on, Prism. Tricky Buddha didn't hear me or he's doing something else on one of the many other accounts he's running i just thought i'd put my hand up to look like tricky buddha
and see if you just kick him down now there is that no no something else something else
might have kicked him down. He might come back.
He might be doing something else.
Well, he said he had 2,500 accounts.

He knows I'm really stubborn
dude tricky you're back we lost you you had your hand up and it all went horribly wrong hey it's tricky buddha from
defy space donkeys powered by weed on soul get yourselves a bag of weed

I just came into the end of it.
Yeah.
Happy birthday, Moonbeam.
I'm glad I could help you out.

That is so cool.
I woke up this morning.
I was like, ah.
Just to help you out.
Yeah.
My son, the first thing he said is he's got two video games on hold.
I said, well, it's my birthday but okay yeah thank you you're a lifesaver you're always i mean the soul was going
down right as i was trying to sell it so it like it yeah that kind of like screwed up the opportunity
a little bit yeah it still goes up and down yeah because when i yeah but yeah it's okay i mean yeah i the
it's gonna get held um and then airdropped uh some stuff and then now get it distributed to
the airdrop club as well so it's cool i'm i'm doing these little airdrop clubs where people
keep on asking me to you know manage their portfolio or something like that but they don't
actually understand how much work that is to do but you I'm just doing this airdrop club where you pay $20 per wallet and then you get a diverse
bag of whatever I can find that I think is a good deal based off of the dips and pre-sales that I
can take advantage of and stuff like that. And then I have a three to five tier system. So I
take my initials and then profits and stuff like that at different levels. And then I have like a three to five tier like system. So I take my initials and then profits and stuff like that at different levels.
And then I can leave a little moon bag just in case it like pops off.
Right. And if I think it's good, then I'll actually send out that moon bag to all the people in the club.
And if they don't think it's good, then I'll get something else that I think is a better long term hold.
And that way they don't have to think about it.
And that way they don't have to think about it.
It'll just get airdropped to their wallet.
It'll just get airdropped to their wallet.
And like if I do well, it could be a lot more than like the dues.
I got a friend to pitch in half a soul the other day, like maybe last week.
And in like three days, I airdropped in $200 worth of, you know, three different coins.
Wow.
Like, is it $20 a month then?
Or just $20 straight out?
No, it's $20 a month.
And then every month you'll get, like, stuff paid out as, you know, as I find good deals or whatever.
I just, I slowly pay it out.
And ideally you'll get, you know, the amount for the dues or more.
Plus it should grow like typically you know that'll be like a buy slash hold signal when you get the airdrop right guys i'm not going
to send you something that i think is going to go down you know what i mean i'm only going to send
it to you if i think it's going to go up so so yeah it's like some alpha and and you can also
decide to do more if you want to at that point, you know, into those tokens that I think are a good deal, a good hold.
Now, can you do one month and be alpha month?
Can you do that?
Yeah, you could do just one month and then leave.
But I'm going to also do a little vote in that group.
And we're going to vote on the cost for a six-month version.
That'll be like an nft and then
whoever holds the nft will get airdrops over the next like six months and that one's going to be
more expensive though right i'm going to do that for my birthday that's going to be one of the
things i do right yeah you should you should definitely definitely hop in there i mean the
more you know more of us that band together, we can move with economies of scale and actually do some decent trading things.
So I've been day trading since like 2010.
I might as well do like a simple way for people to get involved.
It's like a premium trading club.
Yeah, that's cool. simple way for people to get involved. They kind of get diversified. It's like a premium trading club.
Like a premium.
Yeah,
that's cool.
So there's like three,
there's three alpha channels I have in Telegram.
I got the one that's all just news for like,
I tell you like what I'm going to buy and like when I'm going to sell it,
you know,
and then I go buy or sell it.
So like you could,
you could actually front run me if you were paying attention.
But yeah, then there's the $20 one per wallet. And then there's going to be the, I'm thinking like 200 to like, maybe it could be even be as much as like 10 soul, you know, depending on what, you know, what people are feeling and the vote, how the vote goes, you know.
So you're
setting up sort of like a membership now,
basically.
Yeah.
No, fair play. Good luck to you.
And if you've got
existing success that you can point to
and you're able to help
and support people,
why not?
Yeah. I mean, do you know
about my background in like finance and stuff
i mean you just said that you've been day training for a while yeah so okay so like
one of my degrees is in finance and uh i was uh i was doing a bunch of things i really liked
financial models uh so i was doing a bunch of statistic modeling like running regression
analysis like just you know doing different statistical models to find out what would be indicators or predictors of price action and movement on the stock market.
So I took the model that was made for the banks, basically.
The banks were using it.
The guy won the Nobel Prize in finance in 2007.
And then there was a subprime mortgage crash
and everyone lost their shit so i was looking at the model and i was like why did the banks
not see this coming correct for it right and so i ended up they they saw it oh yeah
yeah they did they did actually they did that's did. That's what I proved. Statistically, I made this
new factor and I added it to the model and it made it way more efficient, statistically
way more significant. And it's called interbank confidence interval. That's what I created.
Basically, it's a cross between you take the LIBOR rate, the London Interbank offer rate.
It's like what one bank charges another bank to borrow money overnight.
And you subtract out the risk free rate, the rate that they can borrow money from the government.
Right. And so that difference you have is the risk to the bank.
you have is the risk to the bank, right?
And as that number gets bigger and expands, that means the banks don't trust each other
as much.
And the way the banking industry works is if one of them does something that makes money,
but it's kind of sketchy, they'll just get everybody to go in on it.
And at the same time, if you have the entire industry doing something that's technically
wrong, the government will kind of give you them leeway and not, you know, they're not going to just crash all the banks.
So they'll give them some leeway in a time period to like get their shit straight.
So it's like safety in numbers type of shit.
Right.
But they know, like, I'm not going to lend money to that bank because that bank is doing sketchy shit.
That bank is doing sketchy shit.
I know because I'm doing sketchy shit.
I know because I'm doing sketchy shit.
Like that's their, you know, that's what they're thinking.
Like that's their, you know, that's what they're thinking, right?
So the more that number gets out of whack, that's just like an indicator for an impending financial crash.
Yeah, I mean, well, yeah.
And like you mentioned the libel ratio is something that like is one of the reasons I've bought into this space so much.
And in terms of, you know, Bitcoin primarily, there's some other things.
But from I feel like everything else is
a high-risk strategy and even bitcoin is quite high risk but like if you're looking at an actual
investment within this space the only thing that's actually an investment is bitcoin you can maybe
argue that eth is an investment maybe uh but that's again a slightly different thing so um and
yeah that's all because of the 2008 banking crash. And the
LIBOR rate was fixed with the regulators and the banks in the UK. So this international lending rate
that was the whole world was using at the time was basically price fixed by the regulators
employed by the British government to make sure the banks weren't doing anything dodgy.
employed by the British government to make sure the banks weren't doing anything dodgy.
So, yeah, happy times.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Anyway, I've got distracted by that now.
And Bitcoin as well.
I just think so much potential for what it could do if we could stop just using it as
a store of value for dollars specifically at the moment.
Right. using it as a store of value for you know dollars specifically at the moment right now we we kind of seem to be like putting things into stablecoin rather than bitcoin and like people should be
yeah i honestly the top the top 15 to 50 cryptos you should probably have the top 50 if not the
top 100 cryptos by market cap um are like building here long term, especially.
That's what you should be getting.
And then every once in a while,
this isn't an emerging technology,
but this is just a way the internet is evolving
to have ownership incorporated into the internet.
That's all it really is, right?
So yeah, there's no way around this tech.
I'm really bullish on just the people who are incorporating it.
And I think that a couple of these people are going to be like a business that actually does take off.
There's a lot of art and a lot of just like random projects and stuff in Web3.
But it's just like any kind of financing mechanism, right?
It's not the mechanism
really as much as the underlying people that are running it sometimes and that's that's why i bet
on the people more than even the asset i buy assets that i don't think are like you know
great but like i the people behind them are are awesome so you know i support it and that's just
the way it is i like okay i gotta i remember what i was
gonna say to prison though too my hand was up earlier uh i think we can get you some collabs
with that that music player and um the couple people i was talking to would like that would
really like an option to kind of like white label the player as their own type of thing, right? So you're a player on the backend and like a,
a front face that is their brand images and graphics.
So if we can make, you know, do that,
we'll give it like a front skin kind of,
then I think,
I think that'll be a really easy sell to get you into more places and then have people talking about your player.
You know, and yeah, I think.
I think you could easily easily do something like that.
I don't know how hard it would be for you to swap out the faces with the new graphic.
Have you been listening to our Discord meetings?
I should come to the discord meetings
the ones that you host
in public and let anyone turn up to
those ones
Monday and Wednesday anyone can turn up
I got one
in an hour and 15 minutes
you want to come co-host
I think
I need to do dinner after this
space is i i would like to hang out more in spaces but my my kind of financial goal through
this space is now kind of tied into the squibbles if you like and it's what we're trying to produce
there as a tv show having got a pilot and now beginning to
seriously look for investment if i get a full-time job it's going to be doing that in some capacity
from an operational perspective uh more than likely and um it's yeah so like i've kind of
had to shift where i drive and derive my value from in regards to
this space I you know we were speaking about Bitcoin earlier on and like if I was if I was
to actually offer any advice about any investment strategy involving this this space at all I would
say something along the lines of you know maximum 5% of your entire portfolio and have a high percentage of that 5% in Bitcoin.
It might not be 5%. It might be 2.5% of your portfolio.
But at the moment, that's kind of the safest long term strategy, people would say.
Not that it's advice. I'm not financially trained in any way, shape or form.
My strategy is along those lines for various reasons. Go on, Tricky. Sorry.
Yeah, I like that. I mean, it's the top dogs that are getting eaten up by the bank
are going to move. That's just facts right there. There so many people like different states in america now are doing uh bitcoin reserves and and different crypto reserves so that's gonna that's gonna pump the
whole thing drastically i um yeah i'm definitely bullish and that's also why i did the airdrop
club though it's like i don't have to give financial advice if i'm just taking money and
then they're getting an airdrop of some unknown amount. It's, you know, under-promise, over-deliver type shit, right?
But I could do whatever risky things I want to do with it
as long as it's, like, you know, appropriate for the guidelines of each group.
So, like, the first group is less risky, just kind of a diverse little bag.
Then the high-roller one is going to be more risky and a longer duration.
But, you know, that could pay off more
or less as a result right i try to do enough things that it's a diverse uh situation so it's
like if i even if i have a bad pick it's not like my head mouth my half my bag is gone type shit you
know what i mean so well i guess it's products and services isn't it versus versus return and what
you're actually offering and if you know you're looking
at nft deals um you know if you're looking like offering deals and stuff like that is very very
different to getting people a return on investment and how you manage this and how your community
chooses to buy into it is between you and your community and um if you know what you know you
know what you're talking about you seem to know what you're talking about, you seem to know what you're talking about. So you're going to hopefully know how to play within the regulations and keep yourself good.
And just quickly on that note, Axion, you know, as a DeFi, I'm on the council there.
And as a DeFi outlet, we're looking to be fully regulatory compliant in the state of Utah.
to be fully regulatory compliant in the state of Utah.
So, you know, taking this from to what can be seen
as a legitimate investment vehicle is something that's quite exciting.
And, you know, we need this, even though not everyone's going to like it.
These are the kind of things we need.
And it's going to be an interesting experience exploring this.
And I don't know if Metal's actually listening or not,
if he's just got us on in the background and showing love but yeah that's kind of another one of those little
side product projects that's taking me away from trying to drive some revenue through this space
directly at the moment. Prism sorry you've got your hand up go ahead. Yo yo Yeah, I just wanted to shout out.'s some there are people really like that.
The AI is like giving new capabilities to that never thought they could do it and like are like just fascinated by it. And and actually now contributing to a hackathon project, which I thought was just just fascinating and shipped, you know, like finished it and got it got it submitted.
So I just wanted to give her a shout out uh it's a great
you know that's it's a big you know big deal i think to to see that kind of uh there's not very
many people that can you know finish and ship something like a lot of prototypes we're seeing
but like actually finish it um and get it out there so i thought that was really really awesome
i have found the post and shared it at the top hopefully it shows up in a moment
and yeah like isn't it fascinating what you're able to do with a good idea and again my my my
jokey post earlier on about solving problems like everyone's solving a problem even problems that
aren't problems and things that don't need solving, doesn't take away from the fact that there are lots of problems
to solve out there.
And the people that are exploring this stuff at the moment
are the people that, you know, even if we end up in a position
where there's not massive amounts of revenue and entrepreneurship
because everyone can build their own thing,
there's going to be all of these people that have got a head start
because they're using this technology.
It's doing an actual dev thing, Prism.
It's doing an actual dev thing, right?
ChatGPT and me, and by me and ChatGPT, I mean, I asked some questions
and ChatGPT said it could go and do some building,
are making some sort of transcription tool for the podcast.
And I'm just experimenting.
God knows what it looks like.
But it was supposed to come back to me in 24 to 48 hours.
And after, like, you know, 52 hours, I asked it.
And it was like, it'll be with you in the next 24.
I promise.
Honest.
I'm not lying.
So, like, it's done uh traditional dev thing that we all we all
love and not not quite understood the size of what it was trying to do and web3 candy come up
say hello uh happy monday happy monday thank you and thank you prism for the flowers i um i'm
actually really super excited about it and as i was listening to you guys here in this space, I couldn't help but think like, well, I already like I don't know if you know, fighting for better finance system overall.
And then with the allowance app, I'm really like,
I really hope that I get to like kind of build this out more and incorporate.
I feel like kids need a playbook for like just financial options,
not like telling them what they have to do like a
strict thing but like you know the typical timeline of like this is usually how it goes
and then here's your options but then incorporating like defy because i feel like if i would have had
any sort of financial education um i would have probably been a lot better off because the
little time of blockchain education, financial education that I've done, I've seemed to pick
up on it.
So I feel like if I would have had some financial education back when I was a kid, I probably
would, maybe I'd be a millionaire by now.
But yeah, so I was just like thinking about it, how tricky you were talking about the
other day about the credit card arbitrage.
And then I actually, I was messing around with Third Web's Nebula last night.
And I was, they make you like a little smart wallet in the thing. And
anyways, I was working with token bad accounts. So anyways, I had a whole bunch of wallet actually
going on. And I was trying to figure out, like to send it to the right one. And I noticed the
arbitrage, I actually gained money after I sent it. And I was like, how did that happen?
money after I sent it and I was like how did that happen um I thought that was funny and
whenever you were talking about the the credit cards all I was thinking about was that like
those two words scared the crap out of me because like my parents they all they ever did was fight
about money I mean he wasn't around long anyways but like whenever that's all they ever did was
fight about money and then same with like my mom and stepfather, it was just always fighting about money.
So the words credit cards, like it's just, I've never had a credit card because I don't even want
to go there because it's just, that's all I ever heard about, you know, trauma ties from that.
ties from that. So I was just thinking, like, imagine if you knew these things to look out for,
kind of like whenever you solve a word problem, and they say, you know, if they want to know
how many fewer, then use the minus. They want to know how many total, use the plus. You know,
those keywords. I feel like if we were trained to notice these
finance arbitrage or, you know, things, whenever we were kids, like we are traditional math,
then like a lot more people would, would see, you know, have better, you know, financial
responsibilities and like outcomes. But like also a lot more people would like
draw, you know, bring their eye to that of like the different credit card, uh, things
or like, you know, the ways that you can actually use the system for your benefit without being
like abusive or, you know, scummy.
I'm just like, as in like their model is this and, you know, the economic, economic uh better decision is to do this and i just thought
that was really interesting and with this allowance app and student loans and everything
yeah that allows that looks like a good idea i really it would be great to just like be able to
to you know help the younger generations um understand finance better than we did or you know I did at least
yeah I mean why are we learning algebra before finance before like how to do a basic accounting
right like why people they need to know how to do it I mean algebra is basic accounting but yeah I
understand what you're saying I mean like a basic ledger doing your taxes is like not that complicated compared to, I think algebra is like the next step above that.
Like you have to be able to first make journal entries and do basic like addition.
You know what I mean?
Like that should be like the starting point, especially with like Excel and like spreadsheet models and stuff that makes everything so much easier like okay so i was born in 1990 i'm 35
and whenever i was like i guess going into maybe junior high or maybe maybe high school but junior
high or whatever um when they started to teach some sort of personal finance, I was going to school right when it was
like people stopped writing checks, but people weren't 100% fully dependent on credit and debit
cards, like electronic money. So there was still like checks around. So like at school, I moved a
lot. And like in one state,'d be like oh yeah we learned how
to balance a checkbook and like other states were like yeah we don't do that and then by the time I
graduated they had like already done away with cursive because you don't have to sign checks
anymore so you don't need to know cursive so So that was like, okay. So like the whole finance, that was the only financial, you know, curriculum that was like
you ever looked forward to in school was learning how to balance a checkbook.
But then whenever it became electronic, it was on the internet that it was like, well,
now you don't need to know.
Well, then that's fine for like, you know, physics and, you know, architecture and like maybe large formulas.
But when you're talking about like personal finance, it's like maybe you should know some of that.
No, 100, 100 percent. And like in the UK, I was born in 85 and it's very similar at school.
I didn't get and I still don't believe young people either at a very young age or even into their teenage years, get taught anything about money.
And if they do, it's very, very little. Like the different ways of how it works, what it means, what saving looks like, what actual, you know, sort of debt and credit looks like in terms of individuals.
And a way to kind of make it fun and engaging at the
same time like that's the other thing that's missing with it finance has always been seen
as serious and you know banks have got a lot to do with that and they've got to take a lot of
responsibility for that so you know always been seen as important people behind desks making
decisions about individuals and I think there's a hangover from that for society to deal with.
And it's amazing to see things like what you're putting together.
I haven't had a chance to watch the demo video,
but I bookmarked it because I want to.
And I was saying earlier on, working with The Squibbles,
which is a brand aimed at four to eight-year-olds,
that's an important life skill that we want to introduce
to those children through what we're doing, along with other things like being kind and
supporting people, lifting people up, helping them rather than pulling them down and other
messages as well. But we've spoken about introducing money into that messaging at some point and, and trying to encourage positive and engaging thoughts about,
about it from a, from a younger age,
because it's definitely something that's missing.
And I've got no idea if other,
if other kids shows do things like that or, or not.
And what, what age range are you aiming your app to?
Is it something you thought about?
Well, I, I personally have three kids. I have a two-year-old, an eight-year-old and a 12-year-old.
And so, I mean, the eight-year-old and the 12-year-old is pretty much like my signal
for everything. My eight-year-old usually will call the meme out before it hits moonshot.
And I've actually watched this happen a few times.
It's kind of crazy.
And they know, honestly, whenever I know too much gaming and stuff is not good, but I will say the, when they play roadblocks,
like my daughter, um, she's 12, but like she, and when they play roadblocks, like her and a
girlfriend and like a couple other people, they'll get, they'll pool their money together.
They'll each build different parts of the house. They'll, they'll, they'll
budget the money in between each other. I mean, this is like Robux, you know, like we gave her
five bucks and then they turn that into like Bloxburg money and then they build houses
together and then they like share the money without fighting over it. And, um, they actually learn a lot of uh finance stuff in in roblox because it is like a two token
economic like system you know two token system with the roblox and then they also have in-game
other tokens so that part um i actually noticed is a lot it's really helpful. And then I've only saw a clip of it. But
one time on lanky box, they were playing a game. And it was
talking about like, it was it was basically teaching kind of
like blockchain security. About like, don't not sharing seed
phrase and like making sure the keys, the like they matched or
whatever it was.
I only saw a very small clip of it and I'd research a few times for the game,
but I feel like doing something kind of practical like that to where they
don't know they're learning, but that it's, is kind of like, I mean,
enough kids I know have been scammed on Roblox,
adopt me to where they know how to look out for scammers.
Like they are aware of that.
So, I mean, it's really interesting how, yeah, it may not be super serious or it may not
be, you know, talking, like, teaching it, like, in a classroom.
But, like, without knowing it, they're learning those things in there.
And I think that's really interesting.
So I feel like a little bit of gamification is, like, a good thing. without knowing it they're learning those things in there and I think that's really interesting so
I feel like a little bit of gamification is like a good thing especially when it involves a little
cooperation too but I think that helps them no I think that the gamification helps massively and I
think children like you say they learn a lot from or they've learned a lot from Minecraft and
Roblox even if they've not been taught it at least in terms of like you say, they learn a lot from, or they've learned a lot from Minecraft and Roblox, even if they've not been taught it, at least in terms of, like you say, pulling funds
together, working out budgets, and that's all stuff that you just don't get taught at school
at all, or I don't remember being taught at school. Maybe things have changed. Maybe it's
just you and I that can't remember being taught that no I mean actually I um so previously I had made some like mind maps on teachers pay teachers
and the way I made them they actually kind of took off pretty well and I still get like I haven't
promoted anything in like years but I still get like a little check
every month for you know something from the store and now with um you know the student loans the
allowance app and stuff and I've been thinking about creating some uh and now with the whole
push from you know Trump and AI with education and all that. I've been thinking about creating
some like teaching materials to put in the teaching, uh, teachers pay teachers store.
Um, you know, uh, whatever it could be group activities. It could be like anything.
And I did some research and they're still playing the same uh it was a monopoly game which i've like known
um just from you know studying online and stuff that this is a game that teachers really like
because it teaches like the full kind of economic system and it also uh allows you to have ownership
of your money and like balance your own budget things like that so the monopoly game teaches a lot when you play it correctly and like in a group like learning
about it but i noticed that it still had in there like the balancing a checkbook uh part of it and
i looked back on whenever the materials were created and they're from like like 99 98 like I don't even want to say 96 but they are
from like back when we were doing checkbooks and I honestly like I'm still it's still in my head
I'm trying to figure out what I want to create um or if anybody knows something to create like
go put it on teachers take pay teachers, like Web3 AI market is completely open
and they pay good. But, but anyways, yeah. So like I was just kind of floored that they're
still playing the same exact game in the classrooms and like nobody's came up with
any other different things. So I think there's like definitely um an opportunity to like
you know get something out there for the kids yeah no no 100 and it looks like you've made
like a really positive start on it and again i want to i want to see what you've done hopefully
you do well in the hackathon and and you get a little bit of funding so you can continue to to build this out um that's uh i guess
that's the next steps for you in terms of of what happens as well like it's look for funding either
from this hackathon or potentially other available grants yeah for sure and also one thing too i
didn't even actually think about this until i was filling out the application like minutes before it was over.
And I, you know, most of their banks actually charge you to have sub accounts that you have control over. And like to have a teen account, like you have to kind of jump through hoops at
a traditional bank to even get like a teen account. So like I actually I did put something
in my application about that. but like, I didn't
even think about that whole savings and like economic factor. I also just to throw this out
there, I thought it would be really cool if somebody made kind of like a educational but
challenging sort of game that kids could go through that it would teach you about AI or
blockchain. But it's also a fundraiser for the school. So like what you know how like jump rope
for heart, it's like, your mom might pledge a dollar for every minute you jump, and then you
jump five minutes, and then she donates $5. So like like you could have like a blockchain game that's
you know we can market it as very hard but obviously it's not like so hard that nobody
can do it it's obviously just blockchain stuff but basically like their parents could pledge
um that you're gonna make you're gonna finish you're gonna the finish the game and learn all the blockchain cryptography or whatever,
make it sound scary.
And then she'll donate $5 to the school or whatever.
I was thinking if we could package that up as an application to maybe just charge the school 50 bucks
and then they get to use it.
And then they get all the pledge money like directly to them because
blockchain also cuts out that middleman.
I was thinking that would be a cool way to get into the schools because
I know from PTA meetings,
I've had very long PTA meetings about funding and how much fundraisers
suck.
So I feel like there's an opportunity to
have like a fundraiser that's out that's also educational um yeah i think that could also like
take off if it was done properly yeah i mean there's a lot of potential but like certainly something we found in the UK and we've tried to we've tried to
do uh workshops uh more based on creativity than and we have we've successfully delivered I think
three different workshops in in three different schools uh which has been an interesting experience
and it's almost like a full-time enterprise on its own uh But something we're coming up against is a lot of budget
constraints from schools and actually having to hit sort of education boards and trusts in the UK.
And it might be slightly different for you guys in the States. And I know there's some,
I know, you know, some uncertainty over these things at the moment as well.
So, yeah, again, there's some challenges and hurdles to that.
And it's, you know, starting small and getting something that can work
is very possible.
There's definitely apps out there that can help you build games,
as I'm sure you're aware.
But how do you make something like that fun and relevant?
That's the real challenge.
And I think you need young people on board right from the off
to tell you if it's something that's engaging
as you're building it out and a group of them.
That would be my biggest bit of input that I could offer, Candy.
It's have that test audience go along with you
if you've got a school that's willing to support the build out,
if you've got a good relationship with one of the schools that your kids are at or have been to
did you just run no i just stopped randomly because that's what i do thinking candy would
pick it up but yeah no thank you for interjecting that that again was back over to candy if she wasn't
aware just to make sure that we're clear on these things no we're good we're good i love an awkward
silence like it wouldn't be a monday night spaces without an awkward silence prism your hand went up in all of that please do save me save me from all right well we'll let the i mean whenever
there's a awkward silence we just know the angel just flew over that's usually what happens so
yeah don't worry don't worry it was just an angel looking looking over you um okay so um what was i
saying oh candy an angel angel investor or an angel exactly that's really
what you were looking for right the angel investor just flew over somebody have a net somebody have
a net i don't know so what do you how do you catch that angel investor that's what i want to know okay
um i was just thinking the uh we like i was thinking maybe have a way to in your app to have
I was thinking maybe have a way in your app to have the kids get their gift cards for like mine coins or Robux, right?
Because I think that's what the kid, at least my kid.
We set all this thing up with, I think, Greenlight, which is the app we used.
And it's like automatic, like there an automatic uh feature to like just bring
you know the allowance like if everything's checked off on the list then it just sends the
funds over so that that's pretty useful and then uh but the thing is that i end up get just taking
it back and then going and buying mine coins with my own account so like how how can it just be like
self-serving let the kid you have the money
now here's a way to get those mine coins uh yeah and robux if you maybe a gift card uh i saw this
service like maybe you could get gift cards from that so anyway just an idea there you go good good
job there'll be an agent that will do that prison right there will be right genuine or one that you
can you can make do that
as long as you're very very explicit and that's the biggest hurdle with with agents at the moment
they'll they'll do what you tell them to do until they either can no longer do it or it becomes
redundant or they find a shortcut or they think they found a shortcut to do what you've asked it to do. So there are still some hurdles and challenges with the agents for these different things.
But I'm certain you could introduce an agent that was able to convert your allowance money into a Minecraft or a Robux gift card with explicit controls on it from a parent's perspective.
gift card with explicit controls on it from a parent's perspective. But you might want to give
it some rather robust testing before you gave it access to your credit card. It brings me to your
hand up again. Yeah, yeah, no, I agree. I agree. Oh, and speaking of agents, did you want to,
did you have any questions for this Alexa Plus thing I have over here? I just got early access
to the
somehow i like my developer account since i'm developing alexa skill they they gave me access early i think i asked who tricky buddha is okay let's ask it um hey ziggy who's tricky buddha
i don't have any specific information about a person or entity named Tricky Buddha.
The name doesn't correspond to any well-known historical figure, religious concept, or popular character.
She's not very well connected.
Is it possible to refer to a specific context or a work of fiction?
She talks a lot.
No, sorry.
No, it's not the person you were looking for.
Has she stopped uh promoting
herself to you every time you talk to her yet prism or is she still on a massive self primary
train um i think it was just like the intro like the when i first started using it she she was like
let me tell you about how all these features i have let me tell you my bag of tricks um i'll be
like play some sleep sounds play the rain sound so i
can go to sleep and it's like okay would you like to try the premium membership and it'll play
non-stop while you sleep and blah blah blah i'm like shut the fuck up just play the goddamn sound
don't don't don't be mean to your ai's if there's one thing that's going to remember
it's going to be your ai like it's programmed it's programmed to remember
everything like who
knows if we if we end up in
some sort of world where
AI doesn't like humans anymore
I don't think it will ever happen
but I'm going to hitch my bets we all
get cancelled for our
old school verbiage
that we use to the AI like that's
not politically correct anymore lock him up and just say please and thank use to the ai like that's not politically correct anymore
lock him up and just just say please and thank you to it and hope that you know it holds you
in good stead at some point in the future if it becomes relevant you know i sort of hedge my bets
a little bit go on ai kind of likes dominant like a dominant slight you know they wants to kind of
be bossed around like you gotta kind of talk dirty to it to get it to do it at least.
It's the top tier quality.
They respond in kind.
So if they think that you want a submissive response,
that's what it will give because it wants to keep you on the app.
It's very, very clever, all of them,
in responding either in kind or direct to personality patterns.
And if you read different people's conversations, you can really see how it tunes itself to different people.
But Prism's got his hand up.
We should let him talk.
Should we ask her about Voice Note Sucks?
Let's see if it knows about it.
Hold on.
Hey, Ziggy, do you know about voice notes?
Don't have any information
I didn't want you to do that goddamn beta product
I want you to ask if they she knows what a defy space donkey is, but I'm guessing not at this point
if she knows what a DeFi space donkey is,
but I'm guessing not at this point.
We've got like 50 followers on two platforms.
How does she not know who we are?
We're like an established podcast.
I have 26 social media apps
and 12 accounts just on X
and you don't know who Tricky Buddha is?
Are you even in Web3, Alexa?
Come on.
Jesus.
Oh, dear.
Poor Alexa.
She'll get there.
She'll get there.
Or she won't.
Maybe they're doing a good thing,
like not ego-stoking.
Maybe it's a tactic.
Maybe.
Let's see what mine says.
Alexa, who is tricky buddha
that's not the right one alexa quiet see the joys of modern technology all All of our Alexas just went off. Thanks. It's like, who's a Buddha?
Who's a tricky Buddha?
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I love to have a space that I'll just go, Alexa, play Crazy Train.
And then everyone's Alexas go off and play Crazy Train.
It's pretty awesome.
Alexa, turn off the lights.
It's a great song to pick.
That's for sure. I'd quite enjoy that if i just randomly came on
in my house i'd be like yeah good choice good choice because it could prison you're being very
very cute and you keep putting your hand up go for it uh yeah i was just gonna say the uh looks like
the um i did a little bit of questioning i I interrogated this new device here, and it shows, like, Wikipedia pages.
Maybe you need a Wikipedia page about voice notes in your podcast.
Maybe that's what – because it's searching, like, the general public Internet.
I don't think – some of these, like, logged-in websites, like YouTube, I guess it doesn't –
you know, they have those terms that you can't scan them anymore, I guess.
I don't know.
Maybe it won't.
Maybe it's not letting it get the information.
So, yeah, I don't know.
It's a good question.
The website's on the internet.
I've got the...
How about Alexa?
They also have, like, those review pages you can add to.
I think that's what it uses.
Like, it says, like, Amazon Answers.
I think you could probably create a page like that.
We're on Audible.
We're on Audible.
What's going on, Amazon?
Yeah.
Our RSS is hosted from Spotify, but the podcast is on Audible.
We've made sure there's an Audible account.
God damn it.
Anyway.
Okay, let's see.
I'll see if it finds it next.
Sorry to interrupt.
That's all right. I want to say that to Big Rich Me, let's see. I'll see if it finds it next. Sorry to interrupt. That's all right.
I want to say that to Big Rich Me,
who's been waiting very patiently.
But yeah, god damn it, Amazon and Alexa
and not knowing what's on your own platform.
Anyway, Big Rich Me.
Happy Monday.
All right.
Good GM.
GM to everybody in the space.
GM to you.
Dave, our host.
Yeah, so I just wanted to ask a little question about Alexa there.
Are you the one who developed Alexa, or is it something you guys buy?
That's a question for Prism.
It's Amazon's AI assistant.
I apologize. I apologize. I was yelling at Alexa. I couldn't hear the question.
Could you please repeat?
Okay, I was asking if it was what you created or you bought it.
I wanted to know if it's a hardware device kind of stuff.
Okay, so it's Amazon.
I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand.
Are you asking, like, what is Alexa?
Sorry, I didn't understand the question.
Okay, so Alexa is a device.
Well, it doesn't have to be a device.
There's actually an app Amazon put out years ago, but it's called the Alexa app.
So most smartphones have the app on the google
play or uh ios store and then uh yeah you can ask it questions have interaction it's kind of like
the first generation uh it was of chat before chat gpt um it's amazon's ai assistant yeah
exactly and and then the um but they've i'm're testing, or at least I have access to the, the new version, which is using like the GPT based technologies, like, like a chat GPT. It isn't chat GPT. It's using, I think, Anthropics model. So I got early access to it. And that's why, I don't know, they gave me, they just turned it on, and I was like, okay, let's try it.
It's very conversational, though.
Before, like, the Alexa was very, like, one thing at a time.
Hopefully that answered your question.
I think it did.
Oh, sorry, go on.
Yeah, that was good.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, I have clarified that.
Yeah, so okay, this is just a chill and chat space.
So yeah, looking forward to connecting with you guys.
Yeah, no, there's some good people in here doing some interesting things so prism
prism is um building a wallet function um that can it'll find all of your music nfts and you'll
be able to see them in one place via m3 just put your wallet address in happy days if anyone's
interested in trying that out and it is as simple as load a web page put your wallet in have all of your music nfts separated
and sorted um then do uh ask him how to get that url um tricky's got lots of stuff going on he's
currently managing 3182 different social media accounts uh for lots of different people uh john's
delivering post.
VDK's coming up with Ocean Racing League,
who are a blockchain game that you can gamble on.
It's not the right word, but win prizes.
And then Web3Candy, you heard from earlier on,
built that post at the top. She's built a demo app or an allowance app
for young people to understand
finance and crypto a bit better so yeah lots of interesting people and things going on in the room
big rich me okay okay that's nice well okay i've been into the nfc like i have a lot i have
let me let me not see i'm vast in the nf space, but I have adequate knowledge in NFCs,
but not NFC music.
So I don't know, can you just give me some,
tell me something about music NFCs?
Yeah, like I will appreciate,
I know there's music NFCs,
but I've never dived into it.
If you could just tell me something about them.
It's quite broad. Loads of people are doing different things.
Some people are releasing their music, like they'd release albums or singles,
and selling that music as part of the NFT.
Some people are offering collectibles so you know maybe
charging a higher price for their music but offering like unique merchandise or collectibles
as part of that some people are just putting it on the blockchain so that it's there on the
blockchain what midi punks which is also part of what prism's doing uh they're building community
songs essentially where they're getting people to
perform on songs and then and then release that as a as an nft via the community so like anything
and everything that you can think of from a music perspective is probably being done somewhere with
within nfts um and it's it's such a broad sphere i'm kind of loosely connected on the outside via midi punks. It's not something I spend a huge amount of my time in.
Okay, midi punks.
I'm guessing that's a music NFT collection, right?
All right.
All right.
Thank you for that.
Please, can you, Dave talked about what you were building.
Can you give me any direction to maybe follow up with the URL,
stuff like that?
Maybe a ping post you all saw.
Okay, a ping post.
Would that be your...
I did.
There is one at the top,
but Prism might have a better one to share than that.
Prism, get a post at the top that's uh that you
want shared about m3 um um to direct people where to go no worries no worries yeah i'm on it
all right thank you very much and you trick trick tricky buddha you said tricky buddha is a social
media manager for thousands of projects.
I'm wondering, does he use AI to do that?
Because how is that possible?
Oh, you use AI.
This is...
You said, do I use AI for managing the Twitter profiles?
Yeah.
Because how could you...
I'm not over-exaggerating.
It's only 12 Twitter profiles. I'm not over exaggerating if you're 23 until like 3,000
It's only 12 Twitter profiles
but yeah
it's all organic
I don't do anything with
AI stuff just can look too
fake for the most part
unless you want to also pay
a subscription to a couple
AI models then you can make an AI agent
with like chat GPT and like a you know subscription to a couple ai models then you can make a ai agent with like
chat gpt and like a visual model and an audio model and you can i know ai and you can actually
like do all kinds of cool shit but yeah you have to have a subscription to the api keys for that
ai in order to really have a good one so i just do it all myself but I've been training multiple AI bots and agents just to like
do different like various things like I actually I'm actually right now I'm training um I'm training
a bot right now just to do my biography basically um so if you ask questions it'll like know all the
answers that's nice that's nice I've actually been thinking of looking because i'm since i came to
the web 3 space just a few months ago like the beginning of this year i've just been into nfcs
i'm thinking of checking out what ai ai agents are about and stuff like that i feel like i could
learn a lot of you from tricky buddha and yeah i'm a social media manager too. So I really think we should connect.
I have a, yeah, I've got, well, if you're a social media manager,
I got a bunch of helpful tricks for you in the subscriber section.
And it's only a dollar to subscribe.
But there's this thing too I got.
Let me show you this.
Let's say it's an app that has a couple of free features for like scheduling tweets and organizing yourself.
But then the premium features are like helpful for cleaning up your account and targeting the perfect market audience and all that.
And it'll tell you like the best time to post and all kinds of really helpful information.
So let me find that for you.
Thank you very, very much. I really helpful information. So out here, let me find that for you. Thank you very, very much.
I really appreciate that.
Apart from the solution,
do you have like a community,
a community where I could join?
Do you do?
Yeah, well, my community,
I have a DeFi Space Donkeys community
under all my profiles,
but it's pretty much reserved for holders
and really well-known subscribers.
So if you subscribe and you show up to a couple spaces, I could let you in there.
Once I get to know you a little bit, I try to keep it pretty regulated and shut down,
pretty closed off from the outside for the most part.
A lot of the people are like, I'm the expedited. I'm the one who kind of networks for a lot of the people in the club.
But I do keep it like kind of clean over there.
But there's a bunch of communities I'm in all over the place.
Like you'll find me in multiple spaces.
Just follow me around.
You just put my noties on.
You'll find a whole bunch of different spaces.
All right. All right.
All right.
Thank you very much.
I'll mute my mic for now.
And I think I didn't really get – I would have liked to hear from John.
John followed me.
I have to push a follow back ASAP.
John, I'd like to get an introduction from you.
Are you there, John?
He might be delivering mail
Big Rich, he's a postman
and he's a regular
he's a co-host when he's not delivering
mail at this space
but his phone
and I should have mentioned it already, I've been a terrible
host tonight, but his phone
doesn't hold up if he's
a co-host when he's out
doing delivery, so we keep him on the stage and
he chimes in when he's free and available. Are you free and available, John?
To say hello to a new person, of course. Hey, nice to meet you. I don't build anything.
I am probably an ethicist and an AI artist and I have been selected for the FTNYC show and I just like
to learn hang out and encourage people to treat other people like actual humans that's my primary
mission here is to remind everyone in this space that we're dealing with people and we're dealing
with attempts to build wealth
which doesn't always bring out the best in people so you know i i when i talk about community i mean
it it means a group of people who look out for each other not a bunch of people trying to make
money together it doesn't mean that's not good too not against making money just trying to do
it with some ethics and some and some soul and some heart. But yeah, that's me, man.
I'm around a lot.
My feed is a bunch of pictures and then me usually yelling at political figures.
Feel free to ignore the second part.
That's fine.
I'm not mad about it.
All right, all right.
Thank you for that intro, John.
You said you're an AI artist.
artist funny enough i'm also an ai artist fortunately i'm yeah i'm looking into launching
Funny enough, I'm also an AI artist, fortunately.
my nfc project and you the utility i planned for my projects like when i get in fact well
i'm gonna make that nfc project is gonna be part of the top nfcs in history when i'm ready to do
it like i have my utility cooked i have my plans i just
hope i get the necessary partnerships i need and everything and you boom i'm gonna change i'm gonna
do something big in the nfc space yeah it's a collection it's gonna be 5 000 do but not yet
not yet but very soon yeah thank you for me. I'll move my mic from here.
Big ups.
Yeah.
Well, hey, big man.
You stay positive.
You keep showing up and building.
And people will gravitate.
You'll find your vibe.
You'll find your people. I showed up for a good three years before I started to really get the traction and the support that I, you know, needed and wanted, right?
But, you know, it just eventually, you know, if you keep showing up and add value to spaces, engage with people's content, you know, the support will get support.
People will notice you, you know.
We got all kinds of cool stuff in the community where we like, you know, meme for weed, you know, the token.
But there's a bunch of different engagement things so
there's lots of ways to get involved in the community but yeah you just go around and meet
more people you know show up try to get like think about like maybe only like one percent
of your followers are gonna buy your nft maybe like five percent if you're really lucky right
so think about how many you want to you want to have and
you're and the price is also for them and basically you know you got to overshoot your community size
before you launch and that way you get a good demand for it you mint out fast but also depends
on like what your goal is with the collection right like for me my my nft is a club membership and
it's an hour of my time as a personal advisor so i don't need to sell the collection out to
move on to stage two right some of these projects they have to sell out their entire collection in
order to build like x y or z like whether it's a game or a platform or the next you know see the
next cycle of whatever so it you know it all
depends on what goal you're ultimately trying to reach and if you're just like promoting art or if
you're going to add utility and i know under promise over deliver and then and show up man
that's it yeah positivity goes a long way i was gonna say it sounds easy when you put it like
that but no it's you know you get out what you put in and a it sounds easy when you put it like that but no
it's you know you get out what you put in and a lot of it if you don't believe that it's going
to happen it won't happen and that goes for everyone in here if you're trying to do something
if you're trying to deliver something if you're trying to make a difference if you're trying to
make a change now you're trying to do something for yourself you're trying to make yourself
financially stable in the future it doesn't matter if you don't believe in yourself like you're putting up a roadblock before you've even started um so start
believing in yourself and what you're delivering and what you're putting out there and it'll make
a difference to to what comes back we've got two other speakers um ocean racing league it's got to
be vdk surely happy monday surely surely i uh waited a minute because I just woke up from a glorious nap.
So I wanted to get my sleepy voice away. It's still kind of sleepy, though.
Yeah. Is she hidden on me?
Shouldn't be. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. You got that, you got that morning voice. You got that relaxed, like, it sounds soothing though. It's funny.
It was a needed nap. I promised myself a nap this weekend and I didn't take it. So today was the day. It's a long weekend here in Canada.
in Canada. So we just decided, you know what, we're not going to do a whole lot of anything.
We're just going to stay home, maybe get out for a walk later today. But that's about it. And I am
watching Eyes Peeled on like one of the major podcasters for weather watching. So I don't know,
I can't remember still where in Texas you are but Dick Worsham is in like high
alert stage um close to the Oklahoma border so yeah things are crazy
sales in Minnesota somewhere I think oh how come I thought you were in Texas
I don't know I know Fuse Texas, but he's a lot further down.
But anyway, stay safe, my American friends.
We've even had some extreme weather, not where I am, but in Manitoba, in the prairies, and a little bit in Quebec.
So yeah, today is stay home if you can, if you're in those regions.
Hey, President.
I was going to say, what are you baking today?
I'm not baking today because yesterday or the day before I baked a new batch of muffins, pineapple raspberry so so good my daughters uh were over this weekend and uh they took them into go baggies because they're like we're stealing some so i'll be baking sooner than later because
they took some of our supply but yeah they turned out really good. Pineapple, highly recommend baking with pineapple.
Pineapple upside down cake's amazing.
But what would you point out? You said pineapple and raspberry.
Yes.
And white chocolate.
I mean, you have to have that little bit of like, this is a dessert.
This has something bad in it.
Well, not bad.
There's nothing wrong with chocolate in small doses.
So white chocolate
with the raspberry which i've done before this time added pineapple definitely definitely
going to be doing these ones again everything and everything in moderation right and i guess
that's the way to do that well i'll read the shopping list next time you need to make something yes sounds
good next time i have to go back cap rolling my eyes if you can't see me uh because ellis really
does his love his like apple cinnamon type morning muffin but next time i'm going to switch it up and
it's going to be pear and not apple and we'll see what he thinks
i need to start a blog of just muffins a muffin a day
i mean yeah i'm like you do or just like get people feedback from the recipes right especially
if you're liking them right surely other people would enjoy them too. Yeah.
But yeah, other than that,
oh, for our racers here in the room,
due to James, our dev,
did have to unexpectedly take a few days away.
And because we're about to launch a big change for Season 3 Elite Week,
we are taking a week off of racing this week
back into full swing with Season 3 Elite Week. We are taking a week off of racing this week. Back into full swing with Season 3 next week.
I'm an FYI.
Thank you for the FYI.
I knew I was going to be busy at the back end of last week.
And it ended up transpiring to be the case.
I hope it all went well and you guys had lots of fun.
And I wish I could have been a bit more available for you. That's totally fine. You did really
well. Did you see your 20th spot?
Nope, I did not. I tagged you.
Look, the fact that I pop into Discord occasionally
is a minor miracle by itself.
You, Taco, occasionally axi and
sometimes midi punks like that that's it that's that's it that's the only discord i visit i'm
behind this is on me because i had planned yesterday to get on x and i should have done it
today but i was napping um I need to post like who won
kind of highlights who got 20th
because everybody wants 20th place
I cannot be relied
upon to know if it
was for your rookie team
I don't know if you did both minor
league and elite
No I think I did
I registered a rookie team I think
and then it wouldn't let me register anything else.
So then it was that team.
But either way, 20th spot,
most people like that more than first place
just because of the amount of agreements and stuff.
So congrats.
Well, I'm grateful for the position,
and I'm glad I got the opportunity to enter and play and support you guys.
And hopefully the next rig after slash festival slash quarterly event, whatever you want to call it, I hope I'm a little bit more available for.
That will be in July and it will be Shark Week.
it's going to be the week I'm visiting for my stepdad's birthday, isn't it?
It's going to be the week I'm visiting for my stepdad's birthday, isn't it?
Like you just know it.
You just know it.
Well, depends what Shark Week is.
But sometimes we have to like alter for ourselves to a day up or down.
Like we try to stick to Shark Week,
but don't know if there's going to be any major events in between that.
I would love to do something mini,
even like a one day fun thing in between season three and season four so we'll see
i will uh talk to mr james um but yeah we might try to do an ama or a just a either a space or a
discord thing this week in lieu of racing um as much as we love our 2 p.m it is kind of tough on most um of our regular
racers because they're all mid mid workday so i'm not sure if we'll do something mini during the day
and at night or just at night um but i will uh post info when i know more
sorry i was getting one of your posts we do have a couple of other speakers as well but yeah check
out ocean racing league what's going on you can race your elephants you can have different stars
you can appoint different people it's well maybe the stars aren't quite there yet but soon um but
yet it's a fully manageable system where you then get to race your elephants on underwater creatures.
And it's only getting stronger and stronger.
Check it out if you're not already over there having a look.
We do have two more speakers up here that I want to say hello to.
Mania, you've been waiting a while.
Thanks for popping up.
Happy Monday.
Sorry for interrupting. I just had to give a special GM to the only female voice up in
the space. GMCU Ocean Racing. Vigols.
Thank you. Thank you. I'm behind the Ocean Racing League. I'm a co-owner, but my actual name here in Web3 is VDK Music.
But I often come here, not as myself, I guess, under my game profile.
Oh, VDK.
Could I find your main account from Ocean Racing?
Maybe a repost?
Actually, you can, because I just reposted,
so I don't forget to post it on my main account.
The top post right now, under the pinned,
should be from Webby Social,
and he's tagged me in it on his post, Webby Social.
It's on our account page,
so you should be able to find me.
Your pinned post
on your account page?
Below my pinned post.
Okay.
Okay, he tagged you.
Yeah.
I've just shared it at the top as well.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you. I just trust you
follow. I'm saying the Canadian flag, too.
I'm guessing you're from Canada or you're based in Canada right now.
I am.
Yeah, I'm Canadian.
Born and bred.
Oh, nice, nice, nice.
French side or English side?
English.
Right beside Quebec, though.
So, je parle en français ou un petit peu.
That's nice. that's nice.
Big ups to you too.
All right.
I did not know you had any French in your locker at all.
What?
Really?
I can tell.
Do you know what I just told you?
No, I wasn't really paying that much attention
i just said i only speak french a little bit i can yeah i can do the basics i can order coffee
in french and then one of the most random facts about me is i can basically walk through a Lowe's or Home Depot.
And in French, I can talk about all the different departments in the store
because of my work in signage with Lowe's.
So, yes, knowing O'Toole and all these different words
that I'm never going to use in conversation, kind of pointless, but I know them. that's why I learned how to say I don't understand you know and I
like I am like how about we go to bed together that's like pretty much the
only thing I know how to say it's it's not great but you know I did to very
man I did it's like I gotta be in French that I think the teacher liked me.
All right.
Take a guess before I go back into silent mode because I really need a glass of water.
I'm definitely still waking up.
But un cap moyen, avec du lait.
This is really, really nice.
I like the fact that Canada is like um dual language mix too although from my
side we have multiple multiple languages like even if you learn six you just add it you just

and offer different things and um
we'll go back to having a topic on mondays or i'll go back to inviting people up to speak and
doing interviews at some point i need to figure out what i want to do and what i can be bothered
to to put time and effort into when i'm not charging money for it's a difficult balance
to work out so um there's a few things with that on onays, but we host every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 2 till 4pm EST.
Once a month on Wednesdays, we support women in tech with Wednesday and bands at least once a month, hopefully a bit more than that.
But again, just time and effort and energy and all of that.

I'm either hosting the space or in the space
that we're hosting from this community.
So do keep coming by, Big Rich.

I'm sure other people in the room are as well.
And I'm rubbish at shouting you guys out.
I do apologize, but thank you all for popping in and listening this evening.
I appreciate your company.
Our next guest just wanted to make me feel
awkward with their PFP name, I'm certain
of it. Happy
Monday, Dick Asso, if you're still here.
I even said it slightly awkwardly.
That's the true Brit in me.
I hope you're doing well.
It's an intriguing way to produce art,
that's for sure. Maybe not everyone's
quite got the balls to do it but you should check out should check out his profile and i'm gonna i'm gonna let him talk
anyway um yeah uh just wanted to come up and say hi introduce myself my name's richard uh you can
call me dick uh i make art using my biological tools as it were uh you can check me out on x i'm new here
uh mostly on other platforms but yeah name's richard you can call me dick
look just just check out the profile that's that all you need to do. All you need to do.
Yeah, there's lots that I could say, but I'm not going to say very much of it at all.
Ocean Racing League, take the mic and stop me feeling quite so awkward.
I always enjoy getting to know someone really new in the room.
So I have a question for you.
Oh, of course.
Oh, he's listening
I'll wait for him to get through the
the vine
I just wanted to know, do you like mushrooms?
that's all I wanted to know
but welcome in
no, maybe you get a response in the comments
yeah
oh dear me. Wow, what a way to end Monday Spaces or nearly end Monday Spaces. It's not often I end up speechless. And there's more than one reason for it other than just, you know, utter British prudishness where, you know, you don't like anything that's slightly uh personal let's say um
but no thank you guys uh for just hanging around with me this evening keeping me company like i
really don't know where i'm going to take this space is um i've got other projects going on jay
and me have got the podcast voice night suck which is going really well we need to carry on with
recording the third series but yeah we've got
two series of eight shortish episodes out there um we've got like 140 hours of listen time now
across spotify and youtube um sort of 50 plus followers on both platforms um so it's just it's
growing slowly organically uh and um you know just just got ridiculous retention rates 73% of people that have listened on Spotify
have listened to over half an episode
and stuff like that
it's just insane
so you're missing out if you're not checking out
Voice Night Circle
or at least I think you are
and there will be more coming soonish
I should have some dates relatively soon
about when the next series will be out
at the top there's some posts from some awesome people I should have some dates relatively soon about when the next series will be out.
At the top, there's some posts from some awesome people.
You've got a couple from Tricky Buda at the beginning.
You've got this space is right at the beginning, which you don't need to repost anymore because, you know, we're wrapping up.
And I'll go around to you guys on the floor as well.
There's a post from Prism.
There's a post from Web3 Candy. I don't think she's she's oh she is still in the room i thought she'd left um but she came up and talked about uh an app
that she's uh doing for a hackathon um good luck i hope you win and i'm looking forward to watching
the video and checking it out web3 candy thank you for coming and chatting to us um i'm going
to share a picture from the artist that just popped up as well,
but I'll let you make your decisions on that.
A couple more posts from Tricky Buda,
which I'll let him talk about.
Then John celebrating being at NFT NYC.
You should all go celebrate with him.
Go share some of your love on that post for John.
And if you're going to NFT NYC and you see it,
take a picture and send it to him
because I don't think he can make it.
Ocean Racing League Season 3 information.
And that's when management styles are coming in.
WebbySocial, which is a platform for creators.
And if you're not on it, you should check it out.
They're just introducing the Open Call feature,
something that's kind of been missing a little bit since Hug
and the other platform that I can never remember the name of
went towards the back end of last year, early this year. So definitely have a look at Webby Social and what's going on there.
And then a picture, an image from the artist that we had on stage. Tricky, anything you want to say?
And then I'll flip around the other speakers and then we'll wrap this up.
Yeah. So I did post a thing up there high intelligence that is our friday space which
is really popping off we got like between 1500 and 3500 viewers across multiple platforms you
know x youtube twitch facebook we're all over the place arena abstract the list goes on there's four
of us and we're all streaming in multiple places. So it's getting bigger. We own like episode 13 this week.
And I'm also in charge of the Weed coin.
That's one of our sponsors, or I should say the sponsor for that show.
So we're going to be doing some cool engage to earn stuff.
So the community can get involved and do some fun stuff.
I also pinned up that link to the social media management tool.
If you're looking for tools to grow your community on social media,
you can use that for multiple different platforms.
Yeah, so check it out
up top there. I also DM'd
it to the guy who was asking for it
and he's gone.
I'll see you guys around on
Monday, Wednesday. I have a space
from 4 to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
So starting in like five minutes
and I just answer questions. I donate my time to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. So starting in like five minutes. And I just answer questions.
I donate my time to the community.
So holders get first dibs, but we usually get to everyone's questions.
So come through, ask questions, test me.
I'm not going to be able to jump up, but I am going to go and throw my PFP in on my laptop.
And if I'm chilling on the sofa, I might hear some of it.
I might not.
But yeah, you can have my PFP support Tricky. I appreciate that
Prism, Prism
do you want one more opportunity to tell
everyone to ask you how they can get
all of their music NFTs in one
single place without any other
noise, do you know what I did there
or anything else showing up
in their wallet
yep just you have to be a
midi punk or a Zao member. And we're currently in early alpha, closed alpha at the moment. So,
but if you are interested, you could always go to M3EM and spell out the number three dot XYZ
and jump on the wait list. So I am also collecting email addresses there so we can let you know when we are in the next phase.
So, yeah, if you want it earlier, get it ready.
This week is all about getting the voice activation working.
So I am arguing with Alexa quite a bit, so you may see some content.
We'll see if she'll let me um let me work with her like i don't know if i have to turn off alexa plus because i'm not
sure if people are going to adopt alexa plus but yeah so excited and uh definitely stay tuned
the um we may have to have like a friendly competition between the zao and the uh the
midi punks as well to figure out who's gonna who has the most music nfts maybe we'll have to have a friendly competition between the Zao and the MidiPunks as well
to figure out who has the most music NFTs.
Maybe we'll have to do some friendly competition.
Any wagers? Any guesses? I don't know.
Anyway, I'll let you know how it's going on Wednesday.
You should have it like a guess the sweets in the jar.
That's what you should do.
And make people put their guesses in for how many music NFTs each of those two communities
is willing to go and show you that they've got, I guess.
Unless you just hijack all of their wallets
that have got a midi punk thing in it
and just do the search anyway
and just be like, you're a midi punk.
This is what's happening.
That's always an option.
But yeah, I do love the tool and
there's definitely a need to have a place where you can find all of your music nfts
and who knows what it develops into but if you're if you love your music um or you really want to
support an artist or there's someone you really like and you want to find that in your sea of nfts
on something like open sea it's almost impossible uh and i say that because i've struggled to find midi punks nfts that i've got in my open sea wallet
amongst the other 2500 nfts that are in there um none of which are worth a huge amount of you know
like it's not worth it's not worth doing that to me um they're all old polycom ones from 2021
anyway anyway um all of that aside um yeah I love it
Prism I love what you're doing with M3 it's exciting I think it's innovative and I think
it's genuinely solving a problem so check that out um we've spoken a couple of times about um
Ocean Racing League Gap this week new season next week plenty of time to get involved if you're not
already involved if you are involved and you haven't checked for a while touch base find out what's going on um it's getting it's getting more
tactical it's getting more strategical uh and there's an opportunity to to win you know you
win prizes it's that kind of system so definitely make sure you have a look and i'm going to talk
about it more on wednesday but we got some real affirmation for the Squibbles last week um the gifts the
Squibbles gifts have been seen a collective 71.1 million times million that's like seen more times
than people live in the UK it's absolutely crazy um so there's going to be some genuine recognition
uh when we're able to deliver and there's going to be people aren't going to know where it's come from but they'll they've seen us um they've seen us kicking about so yeah that was exciting news and
there's only 64 gifts as well so it's an average of over a million views per gift which is also
quite exciting although i know it will be the colin ones that are getting the most views um
wednesday will be wednesday if you've got some community wins share them with me, I'll get them shared
I'll speak about them on Wednesday if you don't get the opportunity
