Coffee with Captain #1,125
Recorded: March 26, 2026 Duration: 2:04:22Space Recording
Full Transcription
I'll give everyone a second to get back in the X show.
And it rugged.
New space is live.
Apologies.
That's what I get.
Yeah, YouTube, once again, no fail on YouTube.
No fail on abstract.
Video feeds are good.
But yeah, we rugged on space.
It's been a minute, but it happens.
It happens.
Now I need to go back and, man, I don't appreciate enough of the air cover I get during the intro song.
Now I need to go pin this space up top.
We'll grab it.
And we will pin it to the profile.
Maybe since we've rugged,
if you already retweeted post the first one,
no obligation to do it again.
I'm going to go ahead and delete.
Actually, what I can do is grab those links.
That's good.
I'm thinking this morning.
Taking me a minute, but I am thinking instead of having to go grab them again,
I'm just going to grab them from the old space.
And we'll be live here momentarily.
Appreciate everyone who warmed up the first space that we rugged quickly.
At least it was a quick rug.
At least we didn't get it warmed up first.
So, yeah, appreciate y'all being back.
Play ball opening day.
Happy opening day, everyone.
That's a good, cool, open topic.
Yankees with a 7-0 shutout last night on the pre-opening day opening day.
Not sure why they started doing that in baseball.
I don't even know when they started doing
that, but it used to be all the game, like
opening day was a really big deal.
Oh, I'm guessing it's because of
money and money and
TV and TV deals and ratings,
et cetera. But
yeah, today's the real
opening day. So for everyone that's
sweating a team or excited for their for baseball to be back, happy opening day.
I'm just stalling here as I warm things up.
Again, appreciate everyone who helped us get warmed up once.
I was talking about, I just pinned up top Doma on air episode two from Parked to Paid.
Over a thousand viewers yesterday.
Kind of impressed.
Like we were not, I don't want to speak for the team, but the goal of this new series,
this educational series was not live viewers, rather just want to get some good content out there
that they can clip and repurpose on other social platforms and kind of blown away, kind of blown away with the early response, excited for the
Doma team, grateful to be a part of it. And yeah, I'll just throw it out there. If anyone else is
looking for, to spin up a new series, a new show, I can do my best to host. And we've got secret
weapon producer pain behind the scenes that can help you go from zero
to 60 real fast if you're looking to get up and spin up a new live show live or pre-recorded uh
he is a wizard on the production side but uh the hoodie is insanely clean uh just not not just as a
good vibes club hoodie but like not a spec on that thing. Is it brand new?
Not brand, brand new, but I did take a lint roller to it yesterday.
So it could be what you're seeing there is the successful lint roll
to get any of the dust and stuff off there.
and stuff off there.
But yeah, the Good Vibes and Super Air collaboration.
But yeah, the good vibes
and super rare collaboration.
Hopefully that hit the camera correctly.
Now I'm sitting on my headphones.
GM, everyone,
sorry for the false start there,
but appreciate you all bearing with us.
I think the X thing was me this morning.
I went to go share something
from the coffee handle
and I think it switched to that account.
And usually I've got 60 seconds to reconnect to a space,
but it just instantly rugged.
So I don't know.
Happy Thursday.
Happy Thursday to which we will.
I'm going to get into markets, I guess, a little bit more, more chop there.
I don't know. I don't know what to say about the markets this week. It sounds like
I feel dirty even talking about the geopolitical stuff, but good, good pick there, Dort.
Yeah. Take two. We are live. Appreciate everyone helping us getting this thing warmed up. As always, if you missed it earlier, I'm Cap
for take two on Coffee with Cap this morning. No co-host, but stage is always open. If there's
anything on your mind, anything you want to talk about, anything in the news, let us know. We'll
hit on the NFT NYC, which I do not think I'll be attending.
Love the in real life events. Just not a fan of NFT NYC. I think it's one of the larger grifts in crypto, at least in terms of conferences. No offense to anyone speaking there or exhibiting
there, but I would not recommend buying a, I don't know what they are, $750 ticket or something crazy.
There is our Art Basel Hong Kong we talked about yesterday.
There's a few live mints going on.
One of them is from Bado, who is also exhibiting at Art Basel Hong Kong.
And I'm excited to see, hopefully, we continue to level up on the art front, fan of this digital meets physical realm.
And maybe a little bit of foreshadowing for our RWA segment here in a little bit.
But YouTube is where it's at.
Yeah, all your Yankees went 7-0 or 1-7-0.
Yeah, all your Yankees went 7-0 or 1-7-0, free pitched really well.
Freed pitched really well.
Aaron Judge went 0-4 coming off of his lackluster world baseball
classic performance.
Not sure where your cacique is calling in, but lunchtime at work.
Good timing there.
And, yeah, hopefully everyone is back now.
Hopefully everyone that joined the spaces has found it again.
There was an update on X.
We should be running the most current X.
Actually, we'll test at some point.
We'll get a speaker up here because I want to switch back to the old bat phone,
thinking that might have eliminated any echo.
Sounds like, or at least feedback sounds like I'm coming through clear. So
at least one half of the equation is good and, um, kind of figured out a manual workaround for
StreamYard when we have guests on, but not, uh, not optimal. So hopefully,
hopefully we're just back back, Got the rug out of the way
and looking forward to a fun Thursday.
Just the stuff is not...
I mean, we're going to hit on it all.
I mean, Circle bounced a little bit after its sell-off.
Cathie Wood and Ark bought, I think, $16 million
million the day following their worst session ever.
the day following their worst session ever.
I did listen to the, at least a portion of the congressional hearing on tokenization,
tokenizing securities yesterday.
Audio sounds way better than yesterday.
sounds way better than yesterday.
No, okay, that's good to know.
No, okay.
That's good to know.
It's good to know, but also frustrating as well
because
it's a, if that is the case,
it would be a brand new
iPhone
that is the one giving audio
issues, which
maybe there's some settings there.
Maybe some settings, but I'm not.
Oh, I'm just seeing this take yesterday.
Is Tebow out there this morning?
Let me scan.
Early morning for a guy, Tebow, but no Tebow, but I'm going to quote him anyways.
He's taking some shots at our very beloved platform here. It says,
X will rug spaces by the end of 2026. Tech companies follow trends. Spaces makes X no
money and big companies have been mothballing services that lose money. Meta rug horizon,
it lost money. OpenAI rug Sora, It lost money. Open AI rug store.
It lost money. Bookmark it, bet it happens. They rug it or they start leaning into it and monetize it. It's as far as monetization platforms go, should be, theoretically,
should be one of the easier platforms to monetize
because they have a captive audience of hundreds to thousands,
depending on the space, or dozens or single digits.
But anywhere, whether there's three listeners in a space
or there's 3,500, assuming they're not bots,
which most of the ones are that are rocking or showing.
Anyways, I digress.
It's a captive audience.
Captive audience is that most,
now I know some people will just multitask
and throw headphones on,
you're driving to work
or you're sitting at work
or you're at lunch
and you're not really paying attention to X.
I'm guessing half the other people
out there in the audience
are scanning the timeline
or they're active in-app
and these tech companies
want users in app. So yeah, I don't think they run space rug spaces, but I think they will.
I don't know. At some point you would think there's going to be some change because it
really hasn't changed too much. But I think in this era of them wanting to be the everything app,
era of them wanting to be the everything app, citizen journalism, you know, all the, you know,
again, we're not going to lean hard into geopolitical conflicts, but I think it'd be
hard pressed to find as much breaking news related to what's going on in Iran as you can find on,
not just on this app, but specifically on some spaces that focus on that.
And I think they find a way to monetize.
They did just send out,
I got an email yesterday that they are,
they made some changes to their advertising portal.
So maybe some changes there.
Imlo, I see your...
Imlo, just a longtime friend of the show, just friend general,
has a new art drop on OpenSea,
collabed with a legendary Venezuelan artist.
I follow Andres Del Vecchio.
I'm not sure from where, though,
so I wonder, it must have been another drop of his
that I participated in.
It's his building in afterlife and oil paint,
a cosmology in canvas, prose in Latin space.
The Signal is Open, The Soft Conspiracy.
I will pin this up top here in one second. Two artists, two methodologies. The machine combines them to make a new story, says Imlo.
big fan of,
the Venezuelan culture and therefore happy to support not just MLO,
but another fellow artist.
yeah,
I don't know what you guys think.
Do you guys think X will rug spaces and kill it?
If they do,
you're going to want to make sure you're headed over,
you're subscribed on YouTube and others.
But,
I also agree. Video content is top dog.
So maybe it's more focused on X video
over X audio spaces.
I just, I don't know.
We have been saying they should lean into it for years.
Doubt they do it now.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Maybe we're the crazy ones.
Maybe it's not just crypto Twitter. It's all of us spaces hosts that just continue
to show up every day.
I do know from a technology standpoint, it's a little,
it's a lot antiquated. It doesn't run over
data, but it's like, rather it's
like
a phone call. So not,
if X-Space is rugs, we'd have to send Mario care packages. I think he's done all right.
Would be my take, but who knows? Yeah. Crypto-backed mortgages, I just saw that hit the
wire this morning. This is Fannie Mae. Crypto-backed mortgages are taking another step into mainstream
finance with the help of Fannie Mae. Wasn't expecting that today. I don't know the timeline
on it, but we will hit on that here shortly. And I'm looking for Imlo's link
because they wanted to see it in abstract,
and I'm not...
There it is.
It took me a second.
For some reason, it disappeared.
X, not just spaces, but X in general,
is not fully woken up yet.
I'm going to attempt to drop the link, Diego.
Sometimes abstract is not like links in chat.
There it went.
You just might have to copy-paste that.
Beepic.
Appreciate that Pingu tip very much.
Greatly appreciate it.
It's Thursday.
I forgot.
Not only do we have opening day, but we have...
Do we get NCAA games on this week?
Or not until...
Yes. 7 p.m. tonight. 7, 10 p.m. We got Texas, Purdue. on this week or not until yes,
PM tonight,
10 PM.
We got Texas Purdue in the 945 PM,
Arkansas,
Arizona.
Why they're starting that late.
I don't know.
We also have a seven 30 game,
Iowa and Nebraska.
I guess this is,
I mean,
all the one seeds still,
right?
One,
two,
three.
Is it all the one runs?
One seeds remain.
I can tell I've been really dialed into NCAA.
I haven't even checked my brackets actually.
So it looks like Michigan's a one seed,
Duke's one seed,
Arizona's a one seed,
and another one,
Florida got knocked off. So Florida, we have one, seed out, three remain, and a lot of other favorites. Texas,
the sole double-digit seed remaining. Iowa not far behind at nine. No one cares about University
Houston, is he? Sorry. I'm sure people do. That was mean. People care. I don't care. I don't care about the bracket at all. Although I should check my bearish mania to see if I have any sweats there. I would do that. And I think I actually
logged in, yeah, with my hot wallet instead of my abstract wallet. Bad move on me. Probably could have got some extra,
probably could have got some extra, I guess, XP maybe. I don't know.
Here's the problem. I have no idea if this is even any good. I'm guessing I'm drawing dead
on most of these, but I have no idea if, I mean, based on the potential, potential is 113 points.
I got 48.
113 is the potential points I could get remaining.
Again, I have no idea if this is any good or not.
I do have Duke, who's not been knocked out yet.
Obviously, Ohio State's not going to win.
Knocked out in round one.
UConn, Northern Iowa.
This was a skill. I don't know how I did that. Then in round one. Yukon, Northern Iowa, this was a
skill, I don't know how I did that. Then a random
one, we have a 16 seed to win and the completely
random one, that's not going to win.
And Iowa, maybe that's my
underdog, although potential's only 57. So
I guess I have two with Duke being
the winner, one in the Zeep
Mania and one in the Bearish Mania,
can't really.
So I like the platform,
but it was cool how they did it and incorporated AI,
giving just some critical feedback.
It's just not great to follow along.
So accuracy, 75%. Okay, what's that mean though?
Like, I don't even know where I can go to see,
like a leaderboard. I guess there's current standings.
So there we go. 56 is in first place, but what's their potential? I don't know.
What'd I say? I had 48. Is that right? Yeah, I've got 48 points in both these two, and the leader has 56.
So I guess I got a shot.
Not drawing dead.
Although I don't see...
I guess I got to get down to 48 first, that's why.
So, like, there's a lot of 49. It's like top 100. Not awful. Still some hope. Still some hope alive. Although not really going to be sweating that one. I'm much more likely to be firing into some Battle Royale opening day baseball brackets today,
if there's still any left and didn't fill.
Although I did,
speaking of baseball,
I saw DraftKings launched some super DJ and stuff.
I don't get it,
but they've launched historical baseball
where you can bet balls or strikes.
They don't tell you the name.
It's anonymized.
Like, I don't know who's betting on this sort of stuff,
but imagine like, here's a real,
but we're not going to tell you the name of the pitcher.
Here's a real batter.
We're not going to tell you the name of it.
It's a real at bat, allegedly.
And you can bet whether it's ball, a strike, or in play.
1-800, what is it?
What is the 1-800-GAMBLE?
1-800-GAMBLER?
1-800- what is it? What is the 1-800-GAMBLE? 1-800-GAMBLER? 1-800-GAMBLING?
1-800-GAMBLER.
1-800-GAMBLER.
If you're playing in those new DraftKings,
historical, real, fake ball pitch lines,
you need help.
I have an addictive personality and I'm not,
I'm not even going that far,
but if you,
if you're playing that sort of DGN stuff on draft Kings,
you need to call 1-800-GAMBLER and seek help.
Jesus,
please tell me you're not playing balls and strikes from baseball games.
It took place years ago.
Are you?
I'm not.
I really don't do much baseball fantasy.
I don't either. i did do my first i think that's why i'm still dragging a little bit in the mornings i stayed up way too late uh one night uh earlier this week drafting a keeper league
baseball league which i i backfilled for it's been going on for a couple decades but
i don't do daily fantasy baseball i will play a little bit of the underdog drafts, the battle Royale,
where it's just like a snake draft draft six players. I think, um,
those are kind of fun, uh, short, quick, I can do it during a dog walk.
So that's kind of like my, and then I have a sweat.
So I'll do it just for the sweat,
but I'm not betting on balls and strikes from games that already took place.
Seems, seems bad. Um, I think it was actually zonko i saw
where i saw the post said it's like uh oh your uh your heroin dealer is now selling fentanyl um
door the poster he shared in the chat was a crop photo of a poster on the wall at complex con
thought it was pretty cool yeah good good uh good good good shot good And yeah, in real life gatherings, making a comeback, question mark.
Chapters making a comeback, question mark. I think so. I hope so.
More of this. I would be for more of this.
I know, I should give shout outs at the appropriate time when they're actually in the chat.
out to the appropriate time when they're actually in the chat looking for I don't see him this
morning but April often out there a friend and friend of the show April is uh, paintball contest or paintball. What do you call it? Paintball day.
Um, here in, uh, Tampa area, uh, next month, Saturday, the 18th.
Yes.
Saturday, April 18th in Tampa, limited spots for apes, apes and mutants connect.
Come connect in real life with your local apes.
Luma, sign up as below.
Once approved, I'll add you to the group chat.
I will drop this up top.
And then we will,
I'll highlight the event that took place at
the steakhouse
in New York,
DeStefano's.
Jed, an OG, and great community member.
Make sure I find the right link first.
Jed, X search has not helped me at all there.
X search has not helped me at all there.
Epic night out at the Stefano's Steakhouse.
Thanks, Craytrain, for putting the event together.
Green Visor Gang was there.
Good opportunity to highlight the upcoming Poker League.
Craytrain, I didn't know Craytrain was in New York, but Craytrain organized it.
Big, good, good turnout for the New York club members or New York area club members,
or maybe those passing through. Love to see it. Vibes high in NYC and still have yet to make a visit to the Stefanos,
but on my,
on my bucket list,
I might actually go to,
if I go to NFT NYC,
I won't be going to the conference,
but rather I will go to New York just to hang out with some friends.
And in particular,
go to the Stefanos.
It's long overdue.
Just looking for a few more photos here,
and then we will.
There we go.
That was the one I was originally looking for.
I will bookmark that.
We'll pin that up top.
And again, shout out to Craytrain for making it happen.
Hey, Jesus, no echo this morning, right?
Nothing.
Yeah, it was pretty amazing to walk in. the other day it was so bad i couldn't
even sit in the space like i it was that bad um but today sounds great your mic sounds great
everything sounds like it's back to normal so what'd you do fyi so i don't forget pain it's on
the setting is on standard it's not automatic it's not voice
isolation i think voice isolation is preferred but i'm not gonna mess with that today because
we're not getting the echo and it seems to be just working um my biggest problem is playing music no
no matter if it's through spotify or amazon or, it doesn't matter. The quality of the sound
going through my roadcaster back into the spaces, it's ass, bro. And I don't know how to fix it.
I've read that the Hertz being pushed through, I see teacher Katie down there laughing,
push through i see teacher katie down there laughing like the hurts being pushed from the
websites like into the roadcaster i guess kind of from what i was told they counteract one another
so it's just causing massive distortion um could be like pain does that it's basic because because
spaces is basically a phone call music quality will never be as good. And yeah, it is. He's accurate. It is basically
that you're using the same technology as a phone call instead of
data over broadband. However,
it's some phone setting. It's some phone setting or maybe
versions of the iPhone because
the echo and then the crappy quality
was on the brand new iPhone 17 Pro sucked.
And I went through, checked all the settings, couldn't get it working.
Went back to, I think it's an iPhone, it's a few years old.
I want to say 14 Pro.
Yeah.
You have the whole iRig setup and all that, right?
Great 14.
Or just the dongle.
Yeah, just an iPhone 14, not even a Pro, just an iPhone 14 with a dongle.
No echo.
And music sounded great today.
Well, decent at least.
But you could hear, because sometimes what's so weird on the music, Jesus, is like it'll be, you'll hear the music but no lyrics.
Or you'll hear lyrics but no music.
And today was, I think the entire song during the intro came through.
Now, if I download the song to my Rodecaster and play it, I think the audio quality is way better.
I don't have just a normal song that I play for every space.
So I just randomly just pick a song.
Do you ever worry about like dmcas or anything or you just play what you want at times i worry about it but
i mean look at my look at my second pfp it's got mickey hat and among his shirt and it's like
i'm just a walking you know billboard for uh ip infringement so he says we're gonna make it all um we're going
we're making everything cc zero um and and yeah teacher katie in the abstract dressing
gives you a hard time every day bro every day and trust me i get it from a lot of people but
it's like you know and then when i try and go with one standard, like intro song,
I've even had people, I've had songs, I've had intros made by, uh, professional, um,
professionals guys that, you know, it's like, you know, welcome to reality check, blah, blah,
blah. And it's like, and like, everybody's like, no, that's, that's dumb.
And I'm like, well, I don't know what to do.
You know who I miss?
I know he's still around.
I just haven't seen him or heard him for a bit is Lost Boy Dan.
You're a role with Lost Boy Dan?
I don't know.
You don't know Lost Boy Dan?
Made a lot of really cool, like original music,
specifically for a crypto web three natives.
And he was on like, so when you remember,
maybe more people know Grateful Tornado, right?
Grateful Tornado.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember him.
General Tornado.
Yeah.
General Tornado. Lost boy. Not yeah. I remember him. Gentle Tornado. Yeah, Gentle Tornado.
Dan the Lost Boy.
Not Lost Boy, Dan. Dan the Lost Boy.
Yeah, I think he is rocking a pudgy.
But Dan the Lost Boy would host with Grateful
Gentle Tornado sometimes
and did a lot of custom songs.
Yeah.
Joey lost us on X,
although he was on SX desktop.
I needed to refresh.
I take it.
You're good now.
As far as I know, everyone, audio is coming through clear as, as possible this morning.
So, um, we will keep, we'll keep powering ahead.
Um, at the same time, X, uh, mayhem says X on video desktop has been perfect.
So who knows?
Uh, who knows? Who knows?
I don't know what's going on.
We do have some changes to the Discord.
The War Room, you hear us talk about it, will continue to remain gated.
We gated that four years ago, maybe, per the community's request.
It was at a time where the space was just popping off,
and we'd get a lot of
bots and scammers would come in there just trying to get advantage,
take advantage of some allow list or whitelist we'd get.
So we gated the discord.
Never.
I mean,
we did sell the passes,
but we ended up giving all that money back to other content creators in the
community.
And it's just remained a,
I'll be at very active,
a smaller group,
a couple hundred in total, maybe 50 to 100 are active, probably 50-ish on a weekly basis are posts in there.
Two, three dozen posts every day, multiple times.
So the Discord pops off, the War Room in particular.
That's going to continue to remain gated with the DGEM pass.
We'll get you in there.
But we are going to be opening up a few channels, invite only,
at least for the foreseeable future.
But we'll be opening up a few channels in the near future.
Probably announce that too soon.
Don't DM me yet.
I don't know.
The process isn't open to get you all in there.
But if you want to be joining us in chat,
continuing the conversation post-show,
we'll have some opportunities to do that here in the near future.
But shout out to
Payne for all that he's doing behind the scenes. Let's do this. Let's knock out a quick market
update so I don't forget. Shout out Hans for that big Pingu tip over there. Greatly appreciate it.
And yeah, Dan the Lost Boy is big in the huddle, big in Pudgy Penguins.
Dan the Lost Boy is big in the huddle,
big in Pudgy Penguins.
Speaking of Pudgy Penguins,
I saw the cards hit, the Pingu cards hit,
and then also X launching their metal money Visa card,
offering a 6% APY, 3% cash back,
now rolling out in beta.
Hopefully as they move towards the Everything app, hopefully spaces are part of everything
that they keep. Hopefully, they don't decide to rug spaces, and Tebow's prediction comes
true. If it does, we will be a full streaming show, I guess. Thank God we went to the best
thing that came out of Abstract, is it got us to turn the video on and help insulate our platform risk. Not that I fear being de-platformed,
but if they rugged the whole platform, de-platformed, we would be. Okay, let's do a
quick market update and then we get rolling. A couple other things just to give you a look ahead.
I mean, markets are doing markets things. Bitcoin down, rejected 72K twice.
Circle did bounce 7-ish percent after being crushed on Tuesday.
A lot of open, a lot of options expiring today.
I don't know what that really means.
what that really means but um two 72k rejections with levered shorts stacking up uh is either a
breakdown uh setup or the most obvious short squeeze short squeeze bait in recent memory
i don't i don't chart enough to know uh but there's 71 million at 40x uh is a see you at 79k invitation. We'll see which side blinks first. Kind of a game of chicken
here in this, what presumably we've just been range bound forever. Bitcoin miner, Marathon
Digital did sell 15,000 Bitcoin worth over $1 billion. And then we also have Butan. Am I saying the country correctly?
B-H-U-T-A-N.
They sold $150 million as the kingdom is cashing out.
They moved 519 Bitcoin to an exchange on today.
The outflows now a little over $150 million.
But let's do a proper play-in.
This is our daily market update brought to you by Awaken Tax.
Head to awaken.tax.

First-in-class tax software.
It's crypto tax software created by CryptoDGens.
And they're constantly updating their platform,
including you can get some free support for that 1099DA that Coinbase and all the DEXs are looking for.
This is our Daily Market Update brought to you by Waken.
We'll be right back.
It's more update time.
Let's set the play.
Powered by Waken.
The smart tax way.
From crypto flips to deep buy stacks.
They keep it clean.
Got your back.
Grab your coffee.
Let's break it down.
Daily Update right now. We're going to start with NFTs.
They've got OpenSea pulled up here.
I mentioned earlier that BadoMint mirror stages seed.
It's an open edition, 0.012 ETH.
For that, checking in, looks like 134 of these have been minted.
So not many yet. It does stay open until March 30th. For that, checking in, looks like 134 of these have been minted.
So not many yet.
It does stay open until March 30th.
Probably more of a push there at Art Basel, if I were to guess.
DGEN is relatively new mint here.
It's hanging out at 0.88 ETH still.
And looking at the rest of the market, Pudgee is down a percent to 4.09.
Hypers, flat basically at 408 hype.
Mutants down about a percent to 0.76.
Denza's up 2.7 percent to 17.45.
Lil Pudgy's up 2.6 percent to 0.43.
DGens I just talked about, 0.09 but down 24 percent of the day. Doodles up 2 percent to 0.51.
VFriends, basically flat, almost down a percent, 1.27.
Someone's still buying Sandbox Land,
believe it or not.
Moonbirds, down 1.2% to 0.91.
And just scanning here,
anything else noteworthy?
Sandbox had a game released,
and did you see that?
I did not.
Maybe that's why.
Yeah, if you go look on the Sandbox account,
there's a pretty decent trailer there for some game that's coming uh look pretty dope interesting
dope sandbox lands i did not have that on my 2026 bingo card uh we do have pixel pups still
holding strong i mean down 20 on the day but 0.06 from a free mint not too shabby.
Looking, oh, this is Sandbox DAO,
probably different account, I'm guessing.
Yeah, the Sandbox game.
The Sandbox Next is coming.
Fully mobile, interesting.
Built on Unreal Engine, powered by sand.
Join exclusive playtest for this third-person shooter beginning next week.
Join and help shape the next era of voxels and the sandbox. The smile of blood driving me on to the bone.
Been broken and weak, and as a go.
But now no one can drop me
Nothing can stop me
When I'm on the road
When the time comes
I'll be ready for you
When it's my turn
I'll be ready for you
When I'm knocked down
I'll be ready for you
I'll be ready for you
There'll be hard days
But I'll keep slow
When the tears rage When the earth shakes I'll be waiting for you. There'll be hard days. And I'll keep showing you.
When the tears rage, keep going.
When the earth shakes, I'll be still lonely.
I'll be still lonely.
Cause in the times when you want to get... All right.
I mean, you're going to be playing Jesus?
Playing what?
The Sandbox Next.
Oh, no.
Yeah, same.
No, sir.
I have no interest.
I can barely keep up with games on Abstract.
So, no.
Yeah.
If I'm going to play something like that, I would be jumping in and playing Blitz or
one of the other side games.
I mean, we're hoping Sandbox can figure something out
and hopefully that they catch some users.
I just, I don't know.
Hey, what was your highest potential?
Because I walked in on the abstract mania.
What was your highest potential for a victory?
On the...
122.
Oh, shit.
118. 118?
It's better than mine.
118, my current is 48.
It's my current high.
Okay.
Yeah, we're right there on the current high.
118, something like that's my potential.
Yeah.
We'll see what happens after tonight.
What are the question marks for?
Did the video feed not come through when I played that?
Or are you just questioning why I'm highlighting a sandbox trailer?
A new sandbox game dropping.
Doesn't move it for me, but hopefully there is some people going to get some enjoyment
with sandbox.
Real quickly, though, back to this daily market update.
Let's at least hit on the tokens today.
Yeah, not the greatest news in chart action or market update action.
I've read pretty much across the board.
Bitcoin down 2.94%, lost 70K.
It's at 69,357.
ETH down 5% to 2072.
BNB down 2.8%.
XRP down 3.2%.
Solana down 5.69% to 87 bucks.
Maybe how long Solana today? Maybe that's my trade of the day. Doge down 5.8%. Hyperliquid down 3.2%. Solana down 5.69% to $87. Maybe how long is Solana today?
Maybe that's my trade of the day.
Doge down 5.8%.
Hyperliquid down 4.58%,
despite the world coming on chain
and particularly on Hyperliquid.
They just kicked off their prediction markets yesterday
and saw some people raving about
there's no instant settlements,
no need to wait for,
Polymarket has some sort of a Dow that settles things.
I don't know. The world's coming on chain.
The world's coming on hyper liquid and down today might,
might be the, might be the long I make meme core.
Then what the meme that no one understands up 16% on the day sounds like
crime, but pretty bad day across the board.
Fear and greed continues to dip. We're down now to 30.
But let me check. CNN fear and greed for overall investor sentiment is extreme fear. 18 now.
Not great. I also saw that apparently there's like a 5.45 p.m. press conference,
also saw that apparently there's
like a 5.45 p.m.
press conference, obviously after markets
close.
I don't know, man.
Hearing their
boots going to be on the ground.
I don't know. I would just like wars to end.
All of them. Not just this one, but like all
wars to end. Like all
unnatural deaths to end. I think like all unnatural deaths to end.
I think we're getting close with AI.
Music came through, probably wondering more what it was.
Dort was multitasking, that song started playing,
wasn't sure if I had opened Spotify by accident,
it sounded buttery smooth.
I'm glad the music sounds buttery smooth,
but yeah, strange song choice for a sandbox trailer.
I was like, are they leaning into country here?
What's going on?
But I think that's part of AI is you're going to get maybe some interesting genres when these
trailers drop nowadays. Beepic, thanks for dropping that. This might've been what I saw earlier.
Maybe not the exact one, but I think someone was maybe mentioning or referring to the same data
Maybe not the exact one, but I think someone was maybe mentioning or referring to the same data about this whale going short.
Bitcoin and logging oil opened a $70 million Bitcoin short and a $19 million oil long.
Seems like he's betting on war escalation.
Yeah.
unfortunately, I feel
Unfortunately, I feel that's what I feel in my bones.
that's what I feel in my bones.
Not a great feeling,
but it seems like things are going to get
more escalated before they get resolved.
Unless you,
I was going to say,
unless you take Trump at face value,
but I think he said both things.
On one, Iran is begging to
negotiate, begging to settle,
and then 15 minutes later, boots on the ground.
I don't know. I don't understand what's going on.
I'm not going to read too much into it.
Try not to think about a whole lot during the day
and just hope that some sort of resolution is reached here soon.
I also saw, I think it was the Pakistani prime minister who said, it seems as if the war is now being, like the goal of the war is to now open the strait, which was open before the war started.
So, not great, Bob.
UAE rejecting a ceasefire with Iran,
say they will join the ground attack on Iran,
demanding Tehran's full threat network to be dismantled first,
saying, I did see that coming out of the UAE,
say they don't want U.S. to settle, rather to finish the job he started. work to be dismantled first, saying, I did see that coming out of the UAE, saying they
don't want U.S. to settle, rather to finish the job he started and take him out.
I don't know.
I'd rather read about fictional wars than real wars, which is me.
I'll shout out it once again, 2034, better than 2054.
I know some of you read 2054, like Ray Kurzweil's in there. I didn't realize that Kurzweil's like a main character
in 2054. I thought 2034 was much, much better. 2054 is okay, but both are free on Spotify.
If you're a Spotify premium sub. I did mention this earlier.
I'll highlight the headline.
I don't really have a whole lot to double tap
or much else to add on it other than,
I mentioned Fannie Mae to accept crypto-backed mortgages
for the first time.
This move will allow homebuyers to pledge Bitcoin
and other cryptocurrencies when making a down payment.
Pretty cool.
I almost said I wish this was in play in December, but it wouldn't have mattered. I wasn't going Fannie anyways. And I'm trying to think, I guess when I made the decision not to move forward with that particular home in St. Pete, Bitcoin was around 85K. So I actually would have been better off selling than holding.
But at the same time, property values have continued to drop and the real estate market
looks worse and worse. So that said, if anyone has any stellar deals, I am back in the market
pulling out some equity from a property that I own out of state with a partner. And we're pulling out equity to
have cash ready on the sidelines to capitalize on this. I'm just not sure where bottom's going to
be, but we're going to be making some lowball offers and attempting to find a nice investment
property on the low, fully knowing we might be attempting to catch a falling knife. But
I do have some other market stuff uh we'll i alluded
to or mentioned rides.com earlier we'll hit on that here in a little bit um i i just don't have
anything else to add because i i'm not i'm not coming gonna try to claim to be some geopolitical
expert some war expert i will talk about how it impacts, or at least I think
it impacts the market. But yeah, it's not my area of expertise. So all I can do is read headlines,
basically. But the 15-point peace plan is on the table. Any meaningful response from Iran, positive or negative,
which probably is going to move oil.
And by extension, every other risk asset.
Oil currently, oil below 100 is bullish tailwind.
Oil back to 112 equals a headwind.
But then it could change on a 545 press conference as well.
So it's just, I feel like all markets, all markets, macro, whether you're talking gold or Bitcoin or S&P 500, I feel like's one thing to see a $50 million meme coin move on what
crypto Twitter KOLs have to say about it. It's a whole other thing. We're talking trillions of
dollars moved based on a social media post or a press conference. But here we are. That's today's
proof of simulation. Larry Fink did add,
if war stops but Iran remains a threat,
we could face oil above 100,
even near 150 for years,
and that would lead to a global recession.
Again, per Larry Fink saying this, not me.
I also don't trust anything that these people say because I just assume that they're all,
they stand to gain or lose,
depending on how things move.
And some of this is, I think, them just trying to control the narrative.
We mentioned that Mara Holdings, Bitcoin Miner,
they sold a billion dollars worth of Bitcoin and they're going to buy back 1 billion of convertible notes.
So they sold their Bitcoin to basically pay off debt.
Convertible note, if you're not familiar, basically they fundraised, they brought in
capital in the form of debt, a convertible note where the makers of the lenders could essentially,
they either get paid back or, and it depends on the language. I don't know what the notes
actually said, but usually it's time bound where it's like, you can pay us back by X date, or
we can convert with interest, or we can convert our debt to equity. And I don't know, maybe that was the conversion date was coming up
and they didn't want the debt to be converted to equity.
So they sold their Bitcoin so that they can pay off or buy back their convertible debt.
I don't think it's like, it's not, oh, Bitcoin miners
selling a billion dollars of Bitcoin.
We're going to zero.
No, it's just how they bought the Bitcoin,
how they raised the funds
and they don't want to get diluted.
I really want to get active in this market.
I've been dabbling.
It does feel like you can channel trade.
It's just, you gotta, you gotta,
I think everything's on a short timeframe,
whether you're talking majors or oil or meme coins,
it's, and probably the further off the risk curve,
the shorter the timeframe.
It just feels like, even though I've remained long
and I think the
prospects for all of crypto are great. We have tremendous tailwinds across the board. It's just,
it's so volatile and can change, like I said, on any, not just this press conference,
you can change on a tweet, which, you know which you leave a long open, you leave a short
open, and you come back to the computer after
a social media post and you're
liquidated.
Mayhem and pain both saying funding rates
have been pretty fat, at least on longs.
Probably not a great time to
learn, probably not a great time to get in
the perp trenches if you're new to that world.
But certainly money to be made.
Speaking of money to be made, I talked about it earlier when I was shouting out the meetup in NYC.
But we're also recruiting some poker players. We need a team of 12, so I need at least 11 more poker players
to compete in the GBC Web3 Community Poker League.
It's kicking off April 4th is the first game,
April 6th, April 9th, April 11th, and April 14th.
So basically over 10 days, there's five tournaments.
Games are going to start at 7 p.m., 7 p.m., 12 p.m., 8 p.m., and 8 p.m.
I have a choice word with Green Visor Gang for those 8 p.m. start times.
I'm at a disadvantage when he's kicking them off at 8.
12-player teams, so 10 people will play in the tournament.
And then we need two backups.
One of those backups I'll probably tap on uh one if not
both of those late night games late night being 8 p.m uh you got a thousand dollar custom championship
pendant going to the winner and then there's also a bunch of prizes the there's eight communities
involved and the communities are adding some some prizes into the kitty i think there's already a few hundred dollars at USDC. So bragging rights, $1,000 pendant
for the winner, and hopefully some fun along the way.
But yeah, bring back more community events, more in-real-life events.
The local regional clubs, I was a big fan of that.
I was specifically calling out the Board API Club here. I appreciate everyone who's
doing their part from Craytrain and Jed and DeStefanos in New York
to Ape Whale doing the paintball here in Tampa.
Big, big fan.
Jesus, anything else on your radar today?
Anything?
I feel like NFT mints have been picking up.
You know, we had, you know, Pixel Pups we talked about that ran up,
talked about DGens and a few others.
But anything on your plate like today, tomorrow,
anything that like an actionable item to mint or look at a launch?
Anything on your radar
uh no nothing that i'm looking at to mint i mean i go to the drops page see if i'm
you know eligible for anything that ever pops up but um nothing i yesterday there was the
sunglasses mint that was a free mint,
and it ran up to, I think, like $12 maybe, $15, something like that.
And I want to say that was on mainnet, but, yeah,
that was another one yesterday that popped off, and then Crazy Animals was another one that I seen Tima tweet about.
So it seems like Funcari, B-Rated, a lot of these guys are all, you know,
getting their communities in quite early on these and finding out about them.
And then, you know, making a little bag and holding and moving on.
I mean, I'm looking at crazy animals.
Tima still holds 100.
And, you know, even though he said he was not going to trade from that wallet,
you know, because people give him so much crap, you know,
he's still actively going.
So if you're not following some of these
accounts that are getting
access to
these
Freemants for their communities
then
you gotta lock in
and get that. I haven't been involved
with any of the latest ones
you know
I've been so heavily focused on abstract and trying to
figure out ways to get more xp over there lately even though it seems like we're a ways away from
you know any tg moment so doing that and kyle and i just got giga chad last week so uh which was pretty big we prefer him as an idiot here but oh yeah an idiot
file um yeah no seriously well well deserved congrats on that and yeah there's crazy animals
0.004 e from freement uh there's a lot of opportunities like that i think pixel pups
probably the biggest uh at least from free to up 0.08, down to 0.06.
Pretty big runner there, a little over 1,000 in that collection.
Also, another piece, circling back real quick to these crypto-backed mortgages,
I assumed you'd be subject to a margin call or they require additional collateral if the value dropped.
That's not the case.
These token-backed mortgages will be
free of margin calls
and top-ups. According to press release, if Bitcoin
drops in value, the mortgage terms remain
unchanged and no additional
collateral is required.
Market movements alone
never trigger liquidation.
If this is the case, I'll
buy a couple properties this year.
This is...
I'm actually going to call my buddy.
I was talking about
where we are pulling some equity
out of a home we own together.
It's a rental
and we're planning to roll it right into another,
I'm probably going to suggest we, immediately, while we're waiting and shopping, we immediately
buy Bitcoin, because even if the Bitcoin drops in value, we're still, it's not going to zero,
at least I don't think. But, do spring and start barking, bark, barking, hear me knock.
But, Doc, do spring. I started barking. I heard me knock. This is a really big deal. I was not expecting this. I figured it would, you know, if Bitcoin, if you do your mortgage, which is easy math, let's say Bitcoin's $100K and you buy a $500,000 home and that's like 20% for your down payment.
and then Bitcoin drops to 50K,
I assume you'd have to top it off with 50K
or potentially, I mean, margin call would be extreme.
But now a lot can go wrong here.
Banks can get, Fannie Mae, I guess in this case,
could get actually cooked if the market really crashes.
But this is exciting.
I've been waiting for this for a very long time.
We talked about the tailwinds.
Like this is now for the first time ever,
you don't have to choose between, you know, do I want my long-term bucket to be in Bitcoin or to be in real estate? You can do
both now. Keep your Bitcoin and use your Bitcoin. It truly is becoming, I mean, it already could be
a productive asset by way of DeFi. But this combination of not just DeFi, taking your digital assets into the physical
realm to buy more physical assets, this is really exciting and much bigger deal than I first thought.
The fact that there's no margin call, there's no additional collateral required,
it removes the... Now now I'm guessing,
maybe they just start,
it said Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Maybe they just start with Bitcoin.
Maybe it's Bitcoin and ETH.
Maybe they add Solana.
I just, I can't imagine they're going to go too far out the crypto risk curve.
But my long-term Bitcoin is not for sale.
It's in the long-term bucket and we just add to it.
And so much as I don't even deal with smart contracts risk, I don't maximize. It is a very
much a non-productive asset for me today. It's a passive long-term hold. This changes things. This changes
things, I think, significantly. And I think you'll see, I mean, there's obviously people that make
social content regarding house flipping and real estate investing. This is going to bring in a
whole new, if you're in crypto and you're not wanting to pivot to AI and you're not wanting to very bullish Bitcoin. This drives value to Bitcoin because now
it's not just something that you're just sitting on in hopes that number go up.
It is, you know, like think about, would you rather have a $50,000 car or $50,000 in Bitcoin?
Can't do much with the car, then drive it. As far as an investment,
$50,000 in Bitcoin, now it's not just, oh, maybe we go to all-time highs again,
but you actually can use that as collateral to buy other physical assets. This is really exciting.
And I did not foresee that when I saw the announcement. So good news there. Nerov says, your new goal is to time the absolute Bitcoin top and take the biggest mortgage of your life.
Maybe don't do that.
Maybe.
Personally, just me, personally, I would say, I mean, I don't know.
I'm not giving, like, if you want to buy your primary residence, go buy your house. Leverage your Bitcoin, go don't know. I'm not giving... If you want to buy your primary residence,
go buy your house. Leverage your Bitcoin, go buy your house. I would say this creates a very
exciting flywheel for investors. And yeah, it's probably nobody adds, imagine what Saylor could do with this in his bag. Buy a lot of property.
Now, Fannie Mae's maybe not lending on that. So it's not quite as easily done as it is said,
but the theory still holds. And I think this is probably just first step. I think this is
a step towards all lenders, maybe not all, but majority of lenders accepting crypto,
in particular Bitcoin, as collateral. I hope so anyways.
Hey, one thing I did see on the timeline, and I don't know how many people in here actually,
you know, gamble, play on Web3 casinos, whatnot whatnot i've been partnered with several in the past before
um but meta win they tried doing their their raise for their tg for their token
they only raised about 500 000 dollars and uh they had different like tranches
open for people to get it at different prices.
So, you know, people have been waiting for an airdrop from MetaWin for multiple years.
And they've been stacking points and doing all these things.
And what I thought was really cool, because I'm waiting on shit to TGE for now like three years on some stuff.
And they came out and did something that really surprised me.
They are now taking all the points that everyone's had.
They locked them in.
They did a snapshot.
The points are now no longer, you know, good.
What they're doing is refunding everyone their money
that invested into the raise.
And they're giving them 30% on top of what they invested into it.
So if you put 100 grand in, you're getting 130% above.
You know what I mean?
So you're getting an extra 30% back to you.
Then on top of that, they're taking $3 million of their money.
On top of that, they're taking $3 million of their money and they're just giving it to, based on your points, over the next three months, you're going to be able to go claim a percentage based whatever your points were out of's a million a month they're giving back to the community.
And depending on how much activity you had, you're also going to get that given to you as well.
So, I mean, bro, you literally just, like the raise lasted four days.
So if you put in money on the raise, it took four days to get 30%. You got your money an extra 30%. You got all your money back.
And I think the claims go back,
like they're going to airdrop everybody back their refunds today,
which you don't see that.
You don't see companies half the time,
they don't even want to give you your money back.
If the raise fails or it takes two months for them to give you your money
back.
So I thought that was worth noting.
And I'm not paid by MetaWin or anything.
I'm just,
I thought it was a pretty interesting thing to see right now in this market,
you know,
for a team to do that.
Yeah.
I mean,
I guess my question would be,
is it out of generosity or out of desperation?
I mean,
a 500 K on a,
on a raise isn't great.
I mean, that's like a bad day for a casino, an online casino.
No, it's not.
But they could have easily said, hey, the raise didn't go the way we wanted.
We're going to refund everyone and wait for more favorable market conditions.
True.
They didn't have to give another 30%.
But it's like, hey, you believed in us enough to give us your money.
We thought we would raise more money. And since we didn't, and, you believed in us enough to give us your money. We thought we would raise more money.
And since we didn't, and thank you for trusting us,
we're going to give you an extra 30%.
And then on top of that, I know many are waiting for an airdrop from us.
It's not going to happen anytime soon.
So we're going to go ahead and take your points.
And we're giving $3 million back to the community.
And it's not going to be like casino credits.
It's going to be USDC.
You'll be able to claim actual money,
withdraw it off the platform or with, you know,
however the claim process works.
And it's up to you then whether you want to play it on their side
or put it in your bank or whatever.
But, I mean, right now, who else is giving out free money?
Certainly not Elon and pump fund still airdrop less.
They're getting airdrop,
but just tokens.
Yeah.
Right.
Shout out to Edward circling back to the event in New York city last night.
Edward NYC says,
yes, the event was fantastic. It was great being with other apes in New York City last night. Edward NYC says, yes, the event was fantastic. It was
great being with other apes in New York. Not sure what more value I could get out of buying an ape
over the mutant I bought, but the in real life and community was worth every penny I spent.
Love to see it. And yeah, to Dort's earlier point, bring back the in real life events,
bring back the club portion of the club. And I think you end up finding a lot more people in other side that it's
just like,
this is a,
I mean,
we just showed like sandbox.
There's a lot of games,
a lot of open world.
People can go play,
not many communities you can join and have,
I don't know,
two dozen people show up together and break bread on a random Wednesday.
Love to see it. And, you know, if you see, you know, what Edward had to say,
huge shout out to Craytrain for the banger dinner at Jed's Steakhouse for the Apes Night,
my first ape event. And it was awesome being everyone in the New York community.
So many welcoming people that are proving that there are good people in this space.
And I think that's back to my not knocking other side
or Pungy Pudgy World or any of the online digital worlds.
It's just, you can't replace this
with an online environment.
The online environment can add to those friendships.
It can make, oh, that's Edwards Pudgy I see in Other Side or in Pingy World. And it can build upon friendships and relationships. But I truly believe there's still nothing like in real life. And I think it just becomes more and more important as the world becomes increasingly digital and, you know, dead internet theory plays out and, you know,
you just don't know if you're interacting with a human or a bot.
And yeah, more of that.
Thanks for sharing, Edward. I appreciate it.
Hope you didn't mind me reading the message there, but good, good stuff.
OSF talked, he had a post earlier
about Claude replacing $400,000 worth of rolls
at rec drinks, 800,000 views.
Number one question is how do you actually do this?
So he did a follow-up article.
I'll pin this up top for anyone that's deep in the AI streets
or building a company with AI.
So he gave Claude a brain and now it runs my company.
Here's exactly how to build one.
He leaned into the article meta and actively participating with Cloud. And we haven't had
Google also had some major updates this week on the AI front. Quant something? I'm not too big a brain topic for me
to fully comprehend other than
my understanding is it's going to help your tokens go farther.
It's going to make AI more efficient, essentially.
Maybe.
I'm just scanning some timeline.
There's some, speaking of Art Basel, Claire Silver has some art there.
I, between Inveralife Meetups and Art Basel, it gets me, it gets me excited.
It keeps my excitement.
I just would love to see more of the OG brands lean into this stuff.
Fan the flame, so to speak, to steal
one of Steve's old lines.
This is from Jed himself. Me and my teammates
are cooking something for mid-year.
I'll tell you this. DeStefanos
will be a flywheel for regenerates.
You'll need at least two regenerates
to access secret Web3
DeStefanos website. Maybe
up to five for certain events.
Just saying they're cheap now
if you want to lock up the ultra VIP status.
Speaking of NFTs and NFTs with utility
might be one to put on your radar there.
Let's do this though.
I am going to do a quick coffee break.
We'll be right back.
We've got some big news for the homestretch,
including a rides.com.
We're talking about cyber cabs and the future of transportation.
Rides.com, pretty banger domain.
And if you're not in the market for a house,
if you don't want to leverage your Bitcoin to go buy a house,
maybe you can buy a ride or at least a portion of rides.com.
We'll be back in, actually, speaking of producer pain,
I think we'll be back in a minute and 22 seconds.
But if I'm a minute and 25 seconds, this will loop.
But we'll be right back on the other side of this break talking more about real world assets
and how to make money in the RWA game.
Stay tuned.
We'll be right back after this coffee break. Thank you. too much I forgot how to stop it uh we're back. That was our quick coffee break brought to you by ProducerPain. Thanks for that. Now I'm catching up on the other chat and people are mad at Polymarket,
I guess because of geo-blocking and no issues on X-Mobile. Love to hear it, except for the
rugging. We started off with a rug. We recovered.
And I appreciate everyone giving us that love and support.
We have...
Yeah, the timeline is just wild right now.
I think I jinxed my...
I said my X algo had been pretty dialed in and it's, it's went the other
direction. Uh, you were talking about sunglasses. I see a post on that as well. Uh, yeah, a couple
other guys have been posting about that. Well, apparently we're supposed to have the ex-algo now
is going to be fully powered by Grok. So, uh, this is going to be interesting to see how our
timelines change.
Nikita posted about that, I think, this morning.
It's going to be live next week.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's going to be really interesting to see how things change from there.
Don't know what's going to happen.
So were you aware of the sunglasses?
Maybe you said this and I missed it,
but it was the first collection created and managed by an AI agent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. We didn't talk about it,
but yeah.
So an AI agent apparently created the whole thing is managing the project.
Yeah.
I mean,
I don't know.
Doesn't excite. I mean, I don't know. Doesn't excite you.
I mean, the art itself is like,
the experimenting on chain excites me.
Yeah, let's get agents doing more things on chain.
Cool.
Hopefully this is a glimpse into them doing more things,
being more productive on Jane.
The art itself, let me
pull up Gabbo's post so if you
haven't seen it, you can know what I'm talking about
here.
The Gabbo.
This is,
I mean,
I'm guessing Gabbo has a big bag
because he's clued him in the same sentence as punks.
And Ape says, 2017 CryptoPunks free mint,
2021 Board of Piedt Club cultural dominance.
2026 sunglasses by CMAI agent.
First collection created and managed by an AI agent.
We've seen scarcity.
We've seen community.
Now we're about to see autonomy.
Yeah, the guy who created those,
he's actually a creator on Zeet as well.
He has a Zeet card.
And I'm surprised his Zeet card
didn't kind of run up a little bit.
I guess he wasn't kind of promoting that together.
There's your front-run opportunity on the
show today before
Jesus and myself go buy Javi's
Z cards. Javier Gonzalez
for our
Bullish on Community, previously building communities at
Billions and Polygon, now building
CMAI agent, an AI agent
for community builders.
Yeah, I'm trying to see where his card is valued at.
I have one.
Go ahead.
Yeah, I mean, it's fine.
Like, it just doesn't, like, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm not buying any of these for the art.
I would be buying it just purely speculative.
Oh, it's the first AI agent created and managed collection.
But it seems like a lot of these, unless they get a lot of momentum, they cap out about 10 to 15 bucks, 20 if you're lucky.
And then they just kind of hover around that price.
So, you know, which is good if you've bought a lot of them and then you were flipping them back into the volume.
But I mean, is there still a lot of them and then you were flipping them back into the volume but i mean is there still
a lot of volume going on and then at what point you know do these new free mints go from there like
i i don't know i mean i think del mundo's was kind of like a rare instance in the space just was
hungry for something you know and um in Mundo's, when we heard him yesterday
talking about the things they're doing,
but I don't know, man.
Yeah, Javi's card is $14.
Over a shout out to Benny for joining us yesterday
and Del Mundo's.
They did raise over 10K on that mint yesterday,
over 10K for Climeta, their
philanthropic arm. So love to see it.
Congrats on that.
And yeah, I mean,
also PixelPups, because I saw
FFV had all these NFT minutes lately
have been kind of like low effort, not seen much innovation.
Some, I would
say PixelPups introduced
some things we have not seen yet. This one, we have an AI agent creating and managing it. That's
new. We had DelMundo's started art, doing now some philanthropic stuff. Like more of that would be
good. More experimenting on chain, different things, new things. I agree with FFV at the thesis. Like, let's see some new stuff. Let's see some experimenting. Let's really push this space forward and do some new things. It's not all going to stick. Like doing new things, a lot of it's going to fail and not going to stick. But the only way we find out is actually doing the new things so shout out to everyone
who is taking shots
doing some new things and
there was
an interesting question though
if free mints are doing this well
can someone actually
pull off a 3 to 5k collection
with like a
inexpensive mint price
I don't know and possibly raise even if they're
five dollars a mint you know um just to try and make even more money do we start seeing that come
back and then gradually people trying to mint like really really high uh high priced mints i don't i
don't know i don't i don't think we're there.
I don't either. Uh, I mean, maybe five bucks, but I don't think like, we're not going to see like two, 2.5 ETH mints. That's, I'm pretty certain of that. Um,
and I, I still think probably free, get you more attention, get you a mint out
and then have, have royalties baked into it.
And that probably, because I mean, you think about it, like
you do a collection of 3,000, a supply of 3,000 for five bucks. It's like, oh, you made 1,500
bucks. Is that right? No. 15 grand? Eh, it's not nothing, but it's like,
that's, you know, could be a good month of royalties if you really catch some momentum.
Looks like Pudgy also had an in-real-life party last night in New York with Cast.
That new Pudgy Cast card just went live.
So yeah, in-real-life. Bring back in-real-life.
I guess I'll flash it because I talked about it earlier.
I'm not excited for an FTYC.
I may be excited to see friends in New York.
Jake Bruckman said, this is wild.
This is the first post I saw.
Founder and CEO of CoinFund.
I'm not sure what's so wild about it.
What am I missing?
I guess kind of like a,
kind of a pivot away from NFTs,
but yet they're still calling it NFT NYC.
I mean, bro, the NFT Paris done never happened in again.
You had the events in Dubai and everything else over overseas canceled
because of the war and travel
and things like that. So like if NFT NYC said, Hey, we're not doing it like that could almost
be like a big blow, not only to their brand, because they make a lot of money. You know,
I don't know if they're making enough to put on the events. Uh, but it just seems like people enjoy the irl events and the side parties and that's
where a lot of the alpha and a lot of the camaraderie actually goes to like most of these
events they're not packed out of rooms you know yeah vitalik said i'm going to nft nyc because i
want to talk to you about nfts on ethereum you, the room would be packed if it's a big name.
Yeah, but he doesn't do that.
They don't get big names.
If you want to speak at NFT, you can go apply,
and they'll give you a room to speak.
They'll be like your three buddies that you...
Exactly.
They'll be cheering you on.
It's like, I can do this at a bar.
I mean, I've been to hundreds of conferences,
and it's not hyperbolic.
It's the worst conference I've ever attended
the last couple of years I've attended.
It's bad.
Just bad, bad. They take advantage of speakers. Therefore,
they use those speakers to take advantage of attendees
and sell overpriced tickets and
the lineup sucks. Bring back
VCon. That's what
we need for a real
Web3 conference.
What about Consensus
in Miami?
You're going to go to that, right?
This is good.
Art Basel is good.
I will be going to a consensus Miami.
I might end up in New York for NFT NYC,
but I won't be going to the conference.
Yeah.
What was the thing they just did out in the desert?
What was that?
Marfa or.
Yeah.
Marfa.
If you're really into the art scenes, a good one.
Yeah.
But I mean, or yeah marfa if you're really into the art scenes a good one yeah but i mean it's like small intimate setups instead of these big giant conferences which which seems much more
appropriate with the current market the current active participants you don't need to run out a
big conference center and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars and then as a result have to charge $750 to $1,500 per ticket
and invite thousands of speakers because that's the only way you're going to sell tickets is you
get the speakers to come and then they're selling half-priced tickets to their followers.
It's just, I just, and I'm happy like anyone from NFT NYC, if you happen to catch this replay or
listening in, you can come on the stage. I'll let you defend yourself.
I just,
I'm not blaming NFT NYC,
but I feel as if like that,
because that became,
this is their ninth year.
It became like the preeminent NFT conference,
kind of set up NFT conferences for failure.
I think the ones that have went,
I mean, Art Basel is not an NFT conference,
but there's
now it's got a digital art component to it um zero zero ten you know what i wish they would do
instead of having these conferences what i wished nft nyc would do or somebody with a lot of money
i'd you know not that i can do but instead of doing this it's like you select x amount of brands because they'll have
nft nyc and i'm sure poppy and them will do something in new york and jed and the guys will
do something with regenerates and a lot of people are there adam weitzman's there so i'm sure he'll
be showing up at events and whatnot but it's like why not have an organization like that and put the events on at the IRL meetups and parties and take the money that's raised or somehow and help fuel and build the brands that are willing to participate.
So like, you don't speak.
Say it again.
Charging those brands 25K to come speak at your, you know, to come speak on your stage.
Yeah, exactly.
So like, you know, in, you know, Quirkies is doing this event in, you know, in partnership with NFT NYC.
And they're help highlighting the brands that are there rather than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on convention halls, on a convention halls with empty rooms.
It makes no sense. Yep. Um, you know, I agree. I agree. Um, it reminds me, I need to, I have
Laura called to talk about consensus Miami. I am planning on to go down, but I need to start. It's
getting, we're going to blink and it's going to be here. Uh, speaking of planning to make a trip
and need to book some travel. Um, I need to book a trip to Vegas for Dominion, which is a DOMA's conference, but it piggybacks off of the Bitcoin conference, Bitcoin speakers, not just people, from both people inside crypto as well as outside crypto. And for someone who's predominantly or deep in the ETH streets, a good opportunity to meet some Bitcoin OGers and just a different crowd of crypto market participants.
to Bitcoin Vegas and Dominion,
use code CWC.
Dominion.luma.xyz
will get you to the Dominion registration.
And if you use code CWC,
you'll get a discount on 10% off
of the early bird rates,
which is only $149 right now.
But that said, since I talked about that,
let's do a quick play in for keeping it real. to rise. Domains value unlock. Welcome to Domain Fight. Domain. Domains were slow.
Don't the change in the game. One bridge. One standard. Now the system's mood is staying ready.
Payne, I clicked the loop check mark earlier, not realizing it's going to loop every time I play
video. So one of these days I'll figure out how to live produce a show. It's not going to be today,
but one of these days we'll get it down. We're close. We're not there yet,
but we at least got our echo solved.
Echo, echo, echo.
It's a dad joke.
Didn't land either.
You know what? I need to give myself some
help when I...
How do we not have...
How do they not have
laughter as one of the pre-canned buttons
on the roadcaster?
I guess we just have to give a applause.
The people liked that joke.
Anyways, I kid.
Brides.com, tokenizing on DOMA,
March 31st, so five-ish days, four days and counting
until that goes live.
It is, I think could be a big moment for Doma.
It could be a big moment for DomainFi.
Name that could be the homepage of the next Uber,
could be the next, I said yesterday on our show,
it could be like cybercab.com.
Sure, Elon could go buy that.
By the way, he just bought terafab.ai for $150,000.
It's the highest domain sale this week for terafab, his new, I don't know exactly what they're doing with terafab, but it's some, I think, manufacturer on bars or something. Anyways, who knows?
Maybe he decides he wants, instead of CyberCab, wants rides.com because it's a better name, a better brand.
But when the name that could become the next homepage for the next Uber or autonomous rides becomes tradable as an on-chain asset and you can get fractionalized ownership and
DeFi collateral rights, that $360 billion domain market just got a new exit ramp with
Rides.com coming on.
I mean, not just because of Rides.com, but I do think Rides.com will be, not knocking
Boner.com or Software.ai, I think Rides.com just hits a little different.
donor.com or software.ai.
I think rides.com just hits a little different.
Again, launching in four days.
There'll be boosts.
You'll be able to get your subdomains
and explore if you've not yet checked out DOMA.
Get over there, maybe connect your wallet
prior to March 31st.
This is what I'm going to be going for.
Similar to like PumpFun.
When it launches, it'll launch into a bonding pool and then it'll graduate and be open for
trading. But I'm going to attempt to get in pre-graduation because I think this one could
be a cook. No financial advice. I'm not a domainer. I own some domains and unfortunately,
they've just always been parked. I've never really done anything with them other than the
ones I started businesses around. But rise.com, category defining premium domain, kind of domain
that commands seven, maybe eight figures in the open market. And you can go get a share of it,
And you can go get a share of it, a fractional share of RISE.com once they launch on Doma here next week. Short, random, massive target. Rideshare alone is $185 billion industry. So you got a $185 billion industry launching adjacent to the $360 billion domain market.
to the $360 billion domain market.
And of that $360 billion,
about a million tokenized today.
So category is almost entirely untapped.
We are very early,
but I think we're only early until we're not.
And maybe it's not, maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe Rides.com doesn't hit like I think it will.
But I think it's,
I believe it's going to be a domain like Rides.com, maybe it is Rides.com, that gets the public's attention
driven to DOMA and DomainFi in general. Also got to be thinking this, this goes live March 31st.
And within the month, they have Dominion, their big conference that piggybacks off of Bitcoin
Vegas. So a lot So a lot brewing there.
This is Keeping It Real, brought to you by DOMA.
Head to doma.xyz to get your domain.
And if you're interested in attending Dominion, let us know.
We'll get you not only the discount code,
we've got a few tickets to Dominion we're going to be giving away to listeners here.
Speaking of giving away things to listeners,
tomorrow's Friday.
It's the last Friday of the month.
We have our community member of the month.
If you'd like to participate in that,
make sure you are subscribed over on YouTube.
Head over there now, hit that like,
hit the subscribe and be active in that chat as your best chance to be acknowledged
and rewarded the community member of the month.
Yeah, Payne did tell me the other day uh, acknowledged and rewarded the community member of the month. Um,
yeah, pain did tell me the other day about the loop. I just, um, had to learn myself. Now,
now I know, now I know to uncheck and check the loop. Um,
catching up the chat here. Uh, Diablo says F all these guys mitten 100 of these NFTs and playing the pump dump game for their community.
NFTs will actually die if the behavior persists.
Same BS as always.
Fair, I guess, sentiment.
I would just say,
if you're chasing some of these free mints,
then you see people mitting hundreds of times,
know that at some point,
those people probably exit
and you don't
want to be caught holding the bag. Opportunity to make money, but you do need to get in and out.
I don't share every post that's shared in the war room,
but I will share this one because it's related to our keeping it real.
Keeping it real this morning, really keeping it real.
Again, keep in mind, I'm just the messenger here, just talking about news.
Today's new research shows Viagra may slash Alzheimer's risk by nearly 70%.
Boner.com value is skyrocketing on this news, is what they say.
Value is skyrocketing on this news, is what they say.
Recent observational studies have uncovered a startling correlation between the use of
sildenafil, commonly known as Viagra, and a significantly lower instance of Alzheimer's
disease.
In one extensive analysis of an insurance claim data, researchers found that individuals
taking the medication were up to 70% less likely to develop neurodegenerative condition
compared to non-users.
This discovery suggests that the drug's influence may extend far beyond its primary use,
potentially acting as a powerful neuroprotective agent by enhancing blood flow to the brain,
your real brain, and stabilizing cellular pathways essential for memory and neuron health.
So in 2026, we found out like the key to longevity in life and to not get
Alzheimer's is to enjoy cannabis and take Viagra. I'm not saying this, this is science. Science says
take Viagra and enjoy cannabis. And you will, you combine the two and you're like reducing your risk
for Alzheimer's and dementia by like over a hundred percent. If the research articles are true,
for Alzheimer's and dementia by like over 100%.
If the research articles are true,
did not have either of those on my bingo card this year,
but here we are.
Jolly Elf says, I'm looking loopy, or I am loopy.
I might be loopy.
I have had coffee, not enough coffee,
and not enough sleep this week,
but we power on nevertheless.
Iceman adds in the chat, the VFriends of all cards to NFTs do the best local meetups.
They have Spotlight community members.
This was the final day of the Texas VFAM meetup.
We also had so much fun this weekend.
I appreciate the old new friends who made the trip to Lufkin, Texas.
I used to have a, I didn't have a store, but one of our franchisees had a store in Lufkin.
Might have had an area developer actually based out of there.
But this is from Whiskeyjack.
Big V friend
contingency out in Lufkin, Texas.
Or at least those were made
the trip to Lufkin.
Yeah, more of this.
More of this.
More meetups.
And I also think this is like, talk about what's going to
be the next wave or what's going to be a catalyst to Dobbins love science. I do as well, man. What
a time to be alive. Wait until like, it's going to be funny when we talk about like AI and novel
medicine and, and novel science. It is though, is it not? I i'll say smoking like smoking cigarettes was good for you
um first of all everything in moderation and smoking anything is not good like i'm pro cannabis
not pro smoking like will i burn some flour every once in a while? Sure. But smoking, I don't think anything is good for
your lungs. I think it's a net negative, but there's alternate ways to consume things. And
yeah, it's smoking cigarettes, not good, but there's, and I don't take nicotine. I don't do
the lip pillows or patches or anything else, but some are saying that nicotine is, is better than caffeine
for you. I mean, hell of a drug. Um, bro, I smoke like a 76 Buick. Um, I gotta stop.
Yeah. Not, not great. I could, I, yeah, I could have guessed that you were a smoker based on the,
uh, the radio voice you have there, but, um, just like, cause have there. But just like being around a barbecue pit,
smoke is bad. I don't think any smoke is necessarily good, but I'm trying to, where are we
going? Oh, the Viagra and cannabis and AI is basically going to tell us that all these things
that we thought were like boner drugs are actually miracle drugs.
And not that cannabis is a boner drug, but basically all these things that were like had some sort of social stigma attached to them are going to end up being like, that's how you become immortal.
That's how you live forever is you, like, you think I'm joking.
Like, I don't take Viagra.
I don't
take Viagra. However,
I'm considering...
I don't think Viagra you want to take
daily, but Cialis, if I'm not mistaken,
is the one that's the same stuff
but different and meant for
daily consumption. Because there was another
article recently before this one about
Viagra.
Welcome back, Drew Crit. I haven't seen Drew Crit
in a while. Drew uh pops in with the
simpson meme the gif of the old man walks into the room takes his hat off here's the conversation
puts the hat back on and walks out the door uh welcome back sorry for coming back to this one
but we're talking science this is a science corner on coffee with captain and And yeah, my point being is I would not be surprised if we see more of these
alternative drugs, if you will, that end up having positive impacts. And it is probably
going to be some things that already exist. There's like, oh, if you take, and I'm just
using this example because we're talking about, if you take Viagra and consume cannabis and drink caffeine, yes, I'm choosing all the ones that I might enjoy,
you're going to, you'll live to be 150. It's in range, in the range of outcomes.
Jesus, I don't know how to get back on track after this one though. Any ideas?
Bicyclists, speaking of riding bikes, i hit my 1000 ride yesterday on peloton um bicyclists apparently take viagra to help with blood flow
uh in their legs they've been doing this for a long time today on coffee maybe maybe this is i
enter my viagra arc there we go bro like go to your doctor and say, hey, you know, I'm not too old,
but I need Cialis to help ride my bike.
Yeah.
See if he laughs at you.
He would probably, I don't know if laugh at me.
I don't know if he'd laugh with me.
Probably some sort of laughing. Um, I saw, I saw we had a guest
was trying to come up. We lost you, uh, throw another request. And it looks like you might've
been talking about some of these in real life meetups might've been in New York last night.
Um, Oh, you know what? I didn't even check my abstract XP. How did you do this past week? Jesus. I did 15,000
and some change.
Yeah.
Down flat from where you normally are?
Well, the week prior
I had the lowest ever
since like
testnet because I've been on abstract since
testnet and that was
the lowest I ever had.
Then we got the gig of chat and all that stuff and was active they're still trying to get all the the quirks and
crap figured out so now they added a bonus for the top five performing um nfts on chain so they're looking at they're looking at portal activity they're
looking at on chain activity they said it's a it's a custom dune dashboard that they're getting the
the top five communities for some reason it's gone now when you when you go to your rewards tab
and you see your bonus under your name,
you would click on that and you would see bonus.
And then there's another section for Pengu.
Then there was another one for NFTs that was on there yesterday.
So if you go to my Twitter, you'll see yesterday where I had it.
Whichever one highlights, whichever one,
like if you look at my tweet from yesterday, I have bearish.
I don't hold any of the other NFTs.
The number one was a 20% boost in your XP.
Now it's going to be the boost is going to be for this coming week.
So they're doing it a week ahead.
That's going to prevent people from trying to game the system.
So this coming week, I'll get a 12% boost for my bearish NFTs.
Onchain Hero was number one at 20.
Then Gigaverse at 16.
Bearish was number three.
Then Fogs and Tolan Universe.
So then when they do this, they're going to tweet.
Then the next five will change for the following week.
So they're doing snapshots the week that we're seeing the bonus come in.
They're already doing a snapshot for which community was most active
and met the metrics the week prior, which I think is good.
I think they're going to keep doing some tweaks.
They're obviously doing something because the tab is not there now for you to be able to see it.
But if you want to see what it looks like, you can go look on my X page, on my profile.
And that's where it's at.
Because I did put a post out this morning saying, oh, it's gone.
gone where did it go um and it seems like the the the team right now is leaning very heavy
Where did it go?
into transactions and they want people you know they want people doing as much as they can and
they want brands creating products that create a lot of transactions so, which brings us to the Moody Madness badge that was released yesterday.
They have a Plinko-style game
which generates a crap ton of transactions,
but it's not...
There's not a very high USD cost to it.
You're not playing Plinko
and every ball that's dropping is costing you money.
You get these black diamonds that
are in-game used
and I haven't
seemed to lose.
I've lost and then won, lost and won.
I started with
the 45,000 black diamonds
and I'm up to
5.1 million diamonds right now
and as you're playing the game,
you unlock these puzzle pieces
for epic, rare, and legendary shards.
And then when you get enough,
you get to open a pinata
and it gives you different things
to use for the racing cars
than the actual racing game.
So it could give you custom cars,
custom exhaust, wings, and all kinds of stuff.
But there's also prizes like in the legendary pinata.
You can win.
Now, what the odds of winning?
But you can win 3,000 Pudgy tokens in a legendary pinata.
Yesterday, I won 50 P pudgy tokens in a legendary pinata. Yesterday, I won 50 pudgy
tokens in an Epic, and I think I won 100 in an Epic yesterday as well. GGs. So, yo.
No, I'm just saying GGs. Good game. Oh, oh, oh. Yeah. So, if you're looking to rack up a lot
of transaction, it does cost money in ETH transactions,
but the cost is very minimal.
Now, if you're sitting there all day,
like I did this for a bit yesterday
to see what it would cost me and run up transactions.
I'm kind of doing a test this week
to generate as many transactions as possible
because the people
I see on the timeline that are getting two, 300,000 XP, they all say they're playing Moody
Madness. So they're all doing something on Moody Madness. So right now I have three AI assistants
that are racing nonstop. And on top of that, I'm playing the Moody Drops. So I'm creating as many transactions as I possibly can on chain.
And I want to see where I go from this coming Tuesday.
Yeah, it's got to be the way.
That's what they're trying to drive is on-chain transactions.
They want to drive these vanity metrics.
If you want to rack up XP, you're going to have to play the game.
Diablito on the other end says,
I'm at this moment regretting not selling all my Pingu when I considered it,
when it was worth something.
It's still decent. He says, I like abstract NFTs, but I'm at this moment regretting not selling all my Pingu when I considered it, when it was worth something. It's still decent.
He says, I like abstract NFTs, but F abstract at this point.
Gold tier one is as far as I'm getting.
I was knocking on the doorstep of
gold tier two, but I think
I'm sitting, I think I'm locked into gold tier
one right with you. Even though I'm only like
12,000 XP shy,
which would have been like two weeks
before these recent changes. Now, my XP
did go up this past week,
but they're definitely...
Bro, it's got to go up from 32.
What do you guess? What do you think?
I'm going to say you got
350 to 550.
Largest stream on Abstract last week.
Yep.
So they're...
They are not putting any XP to streaming.
Not zero.
32 the week before.
67 this past week.
Whoa.
Unbelievable, man.
Wow.
I know it shouldn't matter.
I know it's just fake numbers.
And I know they're making changes.
I understand they've got to make changes.
I understand Chase and to make changes. I understand chasing vanity metrics, but I don't think they understand how demotivating,
discouraging, how disenfranchised this makes a user feel to go from like for over a year
running like 5,000 XP and I'm active. I talk about abstract every day to like,
you're telling me you don't care if I talk about Abstract at all.
You don't care if I stream on Abstract at all.
I get the point.
I have to make a decision.
Am I just done with Abstract?
I'm just going to lock in that tier one?
Or am I going to go play the game?
I'm not taking shots at anyone like yourself that's playing the games.
That's what they want.
If you're grinding it, if you're farming it, if you want to build XP,
that's the sort of activity you're going to have to take.
Go collect these NFTs that are getting boost.
And even whether you collect the NFT or not,
it's a percentage.
To get the XP, you're going to have to do a lot of transactions.
100%.
And there's ways to get the XP by doing this.
But I agree, bro. I, I have been an advocate for ever asking for something
for streamers, just anything. I I've, I've mentioned a tiered badge system. If you've,
if you've streamed over 300 streams, you get like an OG, even boost on your weekly stuff. Like you have GigaChat and things like that.
Like it's a rare role that people get assigned.
It'd be like a GigaStreamer essentially is what it would be.
But then there's other badges that you get that give you XP.
But then on top of that, there's just a base XP.
If you stream five to seven days a week,
but right now their mindset is focused on other things
and they're not,
they have other things that are more important
than figuring out, I think, a reward system for it.
And I get it.
I think you had great suggestions, great advice.
I also understand.
Try to put myself in their shoes.
It's very tough to automate because as soon as you start doing that, then you got to people that are just Try to put myself in their shoes. It's very tough to automate
because as soon as you start doing that, then you've got
people that are just going to start botting their streams and trying to
game the system.
It would take some manual
eyes and effort
to appropriately
reward
streamers with XP. I get it.
Still, to go from
5,000 on average a week
to 32 and then 67,
it's like, just makes me...
Truly, I'm just being honest.
Oh, if I went that low, I would
want to step away too.
I'm trying to look through the audience
here to see if there's
anybody in here
i mean i wish somebody would clip this and send it to the team because like they need to hear this
and you do you have a big audience when you're streaming um and you know you're the most
consistent spaces host so like yeah i i 100 agree streamers should be taken care of
one because like it doesn't matter you're bringing your audience to yeah, I 100% agree. Streamers should be taken care of.
One, because it doesn't matter. You're bringing your audience
to ask. No, we talk about it every day.
Every partner, we talk about this frequently. They pay us.
It's a paid partnership. We disclose that.
We've probably given
Abstract more free coverage
than any
brand in the space.
Never got a dime from them.
Again, right now now there's one stream that has, I don't know what it is,
but there's one stream,
gaming, reacting, Gamba.
It's got a thousand people watching.
Ours is number two at the moment with 149.
And again, we're consistent.
We're here every day. We've never bought it. It's just... Yeah, after they advocated it so hard and made
such a big deal out about streamers, Payton asks, how many transactions have I done? I don't think
I did any transactions last week. Someone mentioned this tipping count. Tipping counts the transaction for the tip orders, but not receiving a tip.
And my transaction
history is...
I mean,
I guess it does show...
In my transaction history,
it shows all the tips received.
So I'm guessing
they're just not counting those.
Because it looks like I have a lot of transactions,
but most of them are just tips received.
But you would also think that's a way to help authenticate.
Is this a real streamer?
Is it a real chat?
Or are they just botting?
It's not.
Bro, I'm looking at it right now.
He's been live for an hour and it shows he's been live for an hour and 40 minutes yeah he's just he has 430
views right now on uh on x but his the the the tweet itself that he has with the thing has got
a thousand impressions so yeah i mean he's a real person
i'm looking at his his uh thing right now 27 year old dad founder of web 3 adventure
uh so he has a community with you know they do giveaways and and whatnot so um yeah i don't know
i i agree though i think they should 100%. They should be paying attention to this.
Yeah, in the last week, you can Katie, greatly, greatly appreciate all your generosity.
Apologies for anyone.
I'm not hitting on there.
But Katie does mention like some low-hanging fruit.
I should at least be upvoting daily.
I agree.
There's things I can do for free or very low cost, like you mentioned Blinko.
Jolly Elf says, by listening to Jesus,
my XP went from 100 to 6K without losing any
money. I hope you all are getting
XP for tuning in. I hope you're
getting XP for tipping. If that's
the case, I'm
cool not getting any more XP and I'll just be happy
with my gold tier one. But
it's what it is. I understand
the why behind it. I understand
what they're doing. How many, do you have a lot of NFTs or any tokens or anything?
Tokens, not a ton though. I mean, I I'm, I'm like probably, I'm going to say less than a thousand
dollars all in, um, NFTs, tokens, et cetera, a little less than a grand.
Yeah. It, it seems like this Moody Madness thing.
And like I said, if you go through and get the badge right now,
like, you know, I have AI assistants.
They give you 100 free gas cans.
You can have the assistants driving and playing the game for you.
You don't even have to play the game.
You can still go play the game
while your assistants are even playing. So like right now I have three assistants going. One's
going to be driving for another eight hours, another one for five hours, another one for four
hours. And then on top of that, I'm doing some moody drops. And then yesterday I played the game
for maybe 20 minutes. Um, where we're going to be at this coming week i don't know i think now
that they're pushing the transaction thing i think we're gonna see more brands start pushing
mini games out that are next to no cost but that drive transactions i just i like i get it and i
agree brands should do that i mentioned you bearish the way they did their brackets you had to do each each bracket you submitted was multiple transactions like free mini games short
time frame no one's having to outlay a ton of cash if they do it's in a pot they could win some of it
back these mini games make sense if i'm brand building on abstract you got to do it i just
i just hate farming i didn didn't, I mean,
I did participate in the open sea voyages,
but like I like begrudgingly participated.
Like it wasn't like I was doing it because I was afraid if I didn't,
my historical volume is going to be diluted.
And I do believe it will,
but I wasn't like going and doing every single voyage,
but it's like,
there's a,
Hey,
buy a $5 NFT.
I buy the $5 NFT.
I complete the voyage and sell the $5 NFT.
I could start on abstract.
It's just part of it is I just hate farming.
I hate driving fake vanity metrics.
And essentially that's what they're asking me to do is,
it's like, I'm not looking to go play any of these mini games.
Like, yeah, Blinko is cool.
Blinko on Price is Right might've been my favorite Price is Right segment,
but I'm not looking to add to adding that stuff to my life it's just if I want to get more XP this is stuff I have to go do things that I wouldn't do normally otherwise and I just
well if the teams are like so in moody drops yeah you are getting a lot of transactions you are
farming but you are also gaining in-game assets
to make your cars look better, to make them perform better,
to, you know, if you enjoy playing this game.
Say they do one with Z and there's one that's with Z
and you're farming the game or you're playing the game or whatever,
but you're also earning Z at the same time
because you're playing the game or whatever, but you're also earning Zeetz at the same time because you're playing on that platform. And now you can take those Zeetz and go buy creator cards
or go spinning the wheel spin. And now you're able to sell those cards that you bought with
the earned Zeetz to be able to go trade cards and you can exchange them for real money at some point
when Zeetz are on chain. Like we're,
we're constantly talking about NFTs and brands not having utility or giving us
something to do or,
and everybody wants different type of utility.
But if,
if bears comes out and they have a game and it's like,
well you do this game and you're farming or you're playing the game,
but you're earning burRRR through the game
and the BRRRR is exchangeable.
If you play the game enough and you get 10,001 BRRRR,
guess what?
You're going to get an NFT in your wallet, a bearish NFT,
because you met the 10,001 because bears are 404s.
or 404s. So now you're going to have an NFT there that's worth money. So like if the teams
So now you're going to have an NFT there that's worth money.
can figure out a way to let you be active, create transactions, you're farming XP, you're farming,
you're playing the game because Binance is doing the same thing with BNB. I mean,
a lot of their volume is all, it's all transactional. I just seen Farouk talk about prediction markets are booming on BNB.
Well, it's probably one of the most farmed volume chains in existence.
Yep.
And that's why they went there because they need transactions.
They need volume to show VCs so they can go raise a crap ton of money and do a successful TGE.
I get it. I get it. It's open. We evolved past that point. And I just don't think we do cap.
That sucks. If that's the case, like I just, I really would like to see people build
cool things, bring cool things on chain, build things that people are actually going to use.
And you don't need millions of fake vanity metrics. You build something that you have
a thousand daily active users
that actually want to use your product.
Start there.
Start with a hundred daily active users and grow from there.
But yeah, my new arc, I figured it out.
It's going to be, starting today,
I'm going to be grinding heavy to get more Z points
so I can buy Pudgy World skins to burn for other deeds
to farm abstract,
which will let me open more OpenSea chests
to trade in for Burb,
to which then I will sell by far coin a kid.
But yeah,
I just,
the farming loop is not,
it's not,
not doing it all for me,
but I get it.
I fully get it.
If you can have your Claude bot,
pack your Peloton screen and do all of this while you're, while you're on your bike and you can see it on your Peloton?
Bro, you're locked in.
That 75 is going to be easy.
Yeah, who's building this?
Who's building a bot that taps into it?
I think it's an Android-based operating system on the Peloton.
Who's building a bot that I can just plug into there and I'm gonna i'm gonna abstract points for every mile i ride let's yeah go ask uh alex finn i seen
his post yesterday he said he is going to be uh he's going to be hacking his meta glasses
and having his clawed bot do something i don't know what what the guy's doing while taking viagra
an idiot gm welcome to the stage.
We get an idiot in here on this conversation, and then I'll get a Cyberjack to wrap things up.
Yeah, I was just listening to you guys.
I'm a little busier.
I'm back at work today.
But I just wanted to quickly say, you know, just on the, I don't know.
I'm going to try to counter the blockchain nihilism just a little bit here.
I do think that we get past the everything is a farm stage in Web3. I just think it's going to take time still. The participants
that are here right now are here because of the hyper-financialized and volatile aspects of the
space. But if you think about last cycle to this cycle, we went from literal just staking Ponzi's
to actual retro style games are pretty prevalent. As time goes on, people will build out
better and better stuff that people in the normal world actually want to engage with. You're starting
to see actual good looking experiences like Other Side, like Pudgy World. You're starting to see
these things actually be built. It's just, you know, it's going to take a while. It's going to
take a while for things built on Web3 Rails to reach escape velocity and hit the normal world.
And in the meantime, the builders have to keep raising money.
And that does, unfortunately, involve vanity metrics when it comes to raising that money.
So, you know, it might be uncomfortable at the time for the time being.
But I do think, you know, I think we get to a much better and happier place eventually.
Just, you know, just keep hanging in there, man.
Just don't die.
You know what I mean? Yeah, no, I agree i agree i mean i hear you and you're right it's just it is what it is it sucks i don't like this part of the cycle um yeah i i agree i also agree with law who
says uh luca luca owes me about a million usd by now i'll take it. He doesn't owe me that, but I'll take it. Damn, I'll take that too.
Before we go to, that'll make things right.
I would bull post abstract for at least a year
for a million bucks, at least a year.
Every day, I would keep talking about it
while taking Viagra, riding my Peloton.
Kid, it's a joke, people.
It's not that serious here.
I'll get back to not having Viagra jokes tomorrow,
maybe, unless they're in the news once again. Tomorrow's Friday, bro. Ain't no telling what's happening tomorrow. It's a that serious here. I'll get back to not having biker jokes tomorrow, maybe, unless they're in the news once again.
Tomorrow's Friday, bro.
Ain't no telling what's happening tomorrow.
It's a Friday and science.
It's not me doing this.
It's science and medicine is proving.
Anyways, Diego, GM,
go ahead and get in here on this abstract conversation
and then we will get to Cyberjack.
I think Cyberjack came up to talk about
the New York In Real Life event.
I think he's got maybe a badge or something for that.
We'll get a good win to wrap up the show.
But Diego, GM, sir, what brought you up this morning?
Hey, Cap.
How are you, man?
Thanks for bringing me up.
No, I'm cooking my meal right now.
Are you talking to Diego right now?
Yeah, I cannot hear him.
Can you hear me?
I got you.
Yeah, we'll get to you here in a minute, Cyberjack. I guess we jinxed it on the audio. I cannot hear him. Can you hear me? I got you.
Yeah, we'll get to you here in a minute, Cyberjack.
I guess we jinxed it on the audio.
It's not perfect on Spaces, but yeah, Dago, I can hear you.
I think everyone in the audience can hear you, but Cyberjack might be out.
Okay. So my question was for Jesus about SIT.
for Jesus about
ZIT.
When we spin
with the ZIT points
playing against Nikita
or pawns or with the
other people, are we doing transactions
for abstract or that
is not on chain?
Yeah.
Anything you do on ZIT
should be on chain.
Now, when you initially connected to ZIT, it might have had you sign a session key.
I'm not 100% sure, but it should be triggering a transaction because Scotty said they made it intentional for them to have transactions.
have transactions every everything you do on the z marketplace yeah make sure make sure you're
Everything you do on the Z marketplace.
logged in with your abstract wallet though yeah yeah i'm i when i claim it my card um claim it the
other people's cards and open the packs i'm sure that that counted for on-chain activity. But when we are spinning the wheels for the C-it giveaway or something,
I don't know how to call it,
I don't see those transactions on my wallet.
So that was my doubt.
Okay.
Well, then maybe on that part it's not, which I'm surprised.
So it could be hidden under, because it could be hidden under a session key where it's not which which i'm surprised so it could be hidden under because it could be
hidden under a session key where it's just you're not seeing it and maybe they don't have the two
separated i'm not sure because a lot of people are spinning wheels like really fast so um i don't
know maybe log when maybe log back out clear clear your cash, clear everything just on Z.
And then try and do it.
Sign back in.
And when you sign in, see if it asks you to sign a session key on top of signing in with your wallet.
And if you do have to do that, then chances are it is.
Or just do one wheel spin and go check your transaction history and see if it pops up.
If it doesn't, then maybe the wheel spins don't have transactions, but I can ask Cotty about it.
Hey, real quick, I was just going to say, you might be able to see it on AbScan. If it is under
a session key, it might not show up as individual transactions in your abstract portal wallet. But
if you go to AbScan, Jesus, the thing you were showing me where you can see your daily transactions,
you should be able to take a look at that,
spin the wheel a few times and then take a look at it again and see if you
got more transactions.
I did,
I did one last night.
So I'm,
I'm looking right now and let me just give me a second and I'll see if I can
find it,
but I don't,
I don't,
I don't think it's there,
but,
but yeah,
but everything else I know for a fact does.
Entirely unrelated.
We're going to pivot from unrelated to crypto or cyberjacked.
Diablito just made me laugh out loud.
He says, I'm just going to share it so you don't think I'm making this up.
I'm quoting someone else just like I'm quoting science articles when I talk about Viagra.
Diabl Leader says,
Alex Finn makes a life-changing
discovery every few weeks,
and his life remains the same. He continues
to post about life-changing
discoveries on X. I don't know
why I found that so funny, but that tickled me this morning.
Cyberjack GM, I think I have an idea
what brought you up, but I shouldn't assume.
What brought you up this morning?
I actually think I like the nickname Cyberjacked more. Kind of just make a good gym and pump some more iron.
But no, I came up because I was talking about...
Cyberjake aped. Not Cyberjacked. My apologies. Cyberjake.
No, I was being serious. I think I like the other name better.
But no, because I wanted to kind of mention,
I think you guys are giving some W takes on the infinite farming loop,
but I do see some at the end of the tunnel going around in the connect.
Different people are actually building on these different chains and building
people who are actually building on these different chains and building up
up these different businesses and products.
these different businesses and products.
I see that there is hope for these farm loops to kind of get crunched and for
products to on people.
So I just want to,
I thought you takes to be fair.
Awesome.
Well,
I appreciate you agreeing with us and also to give you some love back.
If you were at that New York City dinner last night
at Stefano's and the ape dinner there,
go claim your Bored Ape Yacht Club
Apes in New York dinner badge
from our friends over at OpenPage.
DM Cyber Jake for the code.
I assume you were there last night yeah um i went there um i'm obviously not based in new york i'm atlanta based
but um i had a couple fellow apes who told me to come up so you you, I flew in. That's awesome. Yeah.
I flew in yesterday and did stuff all day, all night, went to the Pudgy event, and then I actually just got back. I literally just got back like 10 minutes ago while I was listening to your space, Wayne.
Very cool.
Now that you say that, there's also, is it the Digital Asset Summit taking place in New York this week?
say that there's also, is it the digital asset summit taking place in New York this week?
Yeah, I think there's some more events today, tomorrow, and like the rest of this week.
And I've heard a few people mention that. I didn't, I have some other obligations,
so I couldn't stick around, but I really wanted to go up there and, you know, sometimes it's good
to get out and shake a few hands. Absolutely. Yeah. I'd forgotten about that taking place
this week. It makes sense. We're seeing multiple side events, whether they're related or not. Love to see it. Appreciate you sharing and appreciate you coming up today. As well as Jesus and Idiot Diego, appreciate you all adding value to the conversation this morning. Appreciate everyone who tuned in. We're back tomorrow. It is a Friday. So I don't know what to expect, but hopefully we have some exciting news
in the market today. Hopefully
we don't have...
I don't even know.
Hopefully tonight's press conference at 545
is more of a
nothing burger than
escalation, but we will see.
And either way, we'll be here tomorrow
at 8 a.m. Eastern time. Appreciate y'all being here.
Have a wonderful, wonderful day, everyone. Thank you.
