You know, it's nice to start off the month on this positive note.
So we're feeling it.
We're feeling the vibes and it's a beautiful day here in New York. We just had another awesome space talking about Angel
Twin Protocol, which is amazing technology with AI. They're building a lot of incredible things
over there. And now I'm excited, of course, to get into the Empire Hub. It's my favorite space.

right about that i mean i feel this week i mean this couple weeks have been nice to us. You know, obviously, it's been like a roller coaster.
Some people have been very emotional.
And I get it, guys.
Sometimes, I mean, I'm learning this the hard way.
Kay down there, I have to tell her, she's been kind of guiding me.
Don't get emotional with trading, you know.
You got to change the colors on the chart.
Don't take the red out
and green, just make it white, less emotional stuff is little things like that, that I'm like,
holy shit, I never thought about it. You know, when it goes red, people panic, people are like,
holy shit, let's sell. But it's just things that we have to kind of go and learn, you know, as we
go, I'm not literally a trader, like daily trader. I could be if I focus,
but I don't have time, man. I don't have time. So I just wanted to say, first of all, too,
happy Mental Health Awareness Month. You guys know that we are very passionate about that topic.
that topic. Obviously, we try to motivate each and one, each and one the way that's just
we try to motivate each other. And I just wanted to say, you know, sometimes there is harder days
than others. I personally suffer from mental health. And I try my best to always keep it
positive. You know, when you see me quiet, maybe I'm going through something and people that, you know, are in my circle kind of know how I feel sometimes. But lately, I just
been feeling good. I've been really putting prayers to, to the Lord and, you know, just
surrounding myself with good, genuine people. And sometimes that's what we need. And obviously,
crypto has been another
factor of, you know, it has given us the privilege to talk to other people around the world. It's not
just us now. I feel like we're global. And it's such an amazing thing to see. You know, I have
friends in Nigeria, I have friends in Thailand, I mean, you name it. Dubai. Canadians. I mean, let's go. I have the whole, you know,
flags. I always say like I take pride on my flags and my passport. So I just feel like it's a
passport now. Like I feel like I'm all over the world. I love to hear stories. And obviously,

I mean Teddy is

Sometimes he just sussed, but it scares me. It scares me.
Oh, you should see. I mean, sometimes I'm sitting in the kitchen or in my table and literally I feel like somebody is watching me and I'm like, who the hell is here?
You know, and it's Teddy, literally. So when I made that video of like, I feel like somebody's watching me, like, literally, that's how I feel. I'm like, what, what do you need? And I, it seems
like I should know what he wants. But obviously, I don't. But he is he keeps me in my toes. He makes
me happy. So it makes me so happy to to just be happy, you know. So anyways, I do want to get back to the topic today. I do want to share
the coolest things that crypto has done for me in particular. I will start with the first part of my
journey being in crypto. When I was in crypto at the beginning, I really wanted to make an impact in just, you know, see how crypto could actually benefit something that I was really passionate about.
And I think when my girlfriend passed away from ovarian cancer, I was really touched by trying to keep her memory alive.
And obviously, she was that person that was so giving, always wanted to do more.
So I felt like, yeah, always wanted to do more. So I felt
like, yeah, I need to do this. So when I got into crypto, I was working with a project called Delta
Flare and, you know, amazing people, amazing. I mean, obviously like the bear market and all that
stuff, they're still around, they're still building slowly, but surely their game. And we decided to do a small collection. And this is when women
were not really like a big thing back then, like people women empowerment wasn't a thing. Like,
this is what I tell people, like, guys, it wasn't that friendly for women to be in the space.
Like in the early days, we were kind of like men were just so harsh to us. Like,
We were kind of like men were just so harsh to us.
Like, you know, I won't even say what they would say to us.
But anyways, we I decided to kind of do a small collection with them and kind of empower the women on blockchain and seeing how we could kind of be relevant.
And I knew that there was something there, something special.
So I created the Boss Girls brand.
And obviously Boss Girls represent women in Web3 that really wanted to kind of encourage one another
and teach people how to get around crypto, how to make money, like just, you know,
anything that you could do while you're at home.
So that was our goal when we got into crypto.
And we did a small collection and also Delta Flourish like, OK, so tell me what traits would you like?
I'm like, well, girly stuff. We love our bags. We love, you know, our wine glasses. I mean, you name it,
sparkles, shoes. I mean, they all had the most beautiful traits that I could even, I can't even,
I haven't seen a collection like that in a while. So, um, so we decided to do it and we did a 818, a small collection.
And I was so nervous because this was probably my first time ever talking about an NFT that
I was collaborating with.
And obviously a lot of things could go wrong, wrong, right?
Maybe the people were like, Hey, this sucks.
Or I don't know.
Like I was just so scared. I'm like,
what if I don't sell anything? You know, I'm like, and that's where the mentality sometimes comes,
like you are afraid to kind of touch new grounds in crypto. And I just had to do it. And I'm like,
I need to take that negativity and start thinking about my girl, what this could do for donation, you know.
So we did both kind of went into this deal of, hey, you know, if we do this,
50% of the proceeds are going to go to your own, like, favorite charity.
And I was like, are you?
Oh, this is awesome.
But it wasn't too much about money.
I think for us was more like, let's see if we could do something amazing
in the blockchain, you know, and bring women together and see the rave and see if we could
connect that dot that you're trying to connect. So kids, you know, guys, we opened a space. And
obviously, I was so nervous, but I was so passionate about it. And I spoke about the collection,
I spoke about like my friend and guys, we sold out in 18 minutes.
And I never in my life, you know, I think that was a sign.
It was 818, sold out in 18 minutes.
I'm like, yes, to me, that was like, my girl is here with me.
She's really rooting for me.
And we ended up giving to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance $30,000 in less than, what, 18, 20 minutes.
What's his name?
Oh, my God.
I forgot his name because I haven't seen him in a long time.
But Alex, Josh, that was his name.
Sorry, Josh.
I'm so sorry, Josh.
But it's been a while.
But Josh was the one who ended up donating to the ovarian cancer. And to me, that was probably the coolest thing I have ever done that I was able to kind of donate that kind of amount of money. 18 minutes like we sold out it was a sold out collection and even to this day you guys could go look for for um the collection in open sea it's called the pink ladies and um obviously i do want
to bring them back they're so cute and um we ended up donating that collection to charity so now
anything proceeds that go um whoever buys or sells like all those um um taxes
go to the ovarian cancer research alliance so we made something impactful and throughout the years
we ended up raising over 100k so to me that was a big accomplishment when it comes to doing
something amazing um when you're passionate about and crypto has just changed everything, like the way we do things, the way we embrace people.
And I just feel like crypto is just getting started. And that was probably the coolest thing for me.
I mean, I do have other stories like, yeah, I probably got lucky and I changed my life of how I saw crypto and financials.
But I think like making an impact in crypto could definitely go so far.
And, you know, think about it.
Like you are going to be here forever.
Like that's what I guess I take it that way where, wow, that collection is always going to live, you know, as long as people believe in it. So I just wanted to share that story, because that's always
something that I look back and I'm like, wow, you know, that was a big accomplishment. And I just
remember articles being written about me that this was something amazing and all that stuff.
And I was like, my God, they even doxed me when I didn't even know
they were going to dox me. But I somehow that's how I got doxed. They ended up talking about me
and it's okay. It was for a good cause. And obviously I'm still here building and grinding
for everybody and spreading positivity. And I know Liz and I have a lot of things in common
in that sense where we always try to kind of bring more
to crypto than just say, hey, let's moon bags.
Let's talk about this.
Obviously, mental health has been a big part
of our growth too, because we do care.
We care about how people feel sometimes.
You know, we're humans.
We sometimes have to remind ourselves,
go freaking touch some grass.
Get out of the freaking screen.
Remember, if you miss a freaking ticker,
trust me, there's going to be more.
There's going to be more.
Crypto's not going anywhere.
It was probably wrong timing.
And maybe you just saved yourself.
I see it as a sign. If you missed it, it was for a reason. And maybe you just saved yourself. I see it as a
sign. If you missed it, it was for a reason. So I'm gonna pass the mic to Liz. I do want to hear
what's the coolest thing you have done so far in crypto or something that you want to share with us
today. Yeah, I love this question. And I had a lot of fun. You know, I went for a walk before the
space and I was just thinking about it. Especially as I recently, I would say, like October really started making the switch from NFTs to meme coins.
And things have really changed for me.
You and I have gotten to work together on a much closer level, hang out multiple times, IRL with more to come, of course.
And it was tough.
I'm like, wow, I'm so happy.
It brings a smile to my face because I am grateful.
I am really grateful for crypto. And I wake up with a smile on my face pretty much every day.
You know, life isn't perfect, but I always remind myself, you know, remember when you thought about
the things you have now, you know, when I had my traditional nine to five for years, PTO was such
a headache. It didn't matter if you were sick or something came up. No one cared.
Now I feel like this freedom to just work anywhere is incredible. Even though I worked
remotely before, but someone else got to tell me what to do all the time. Now I get to be my own
boss. I work from my phone. I can travel as much as I want. It's so easy to enjoy life more. I can
work from different locations. I'm not tied here.
And I think that's one of the most beautiful things that I could ever ask for is to be able to still work hard, put in the hours, but maybe change the backdrop, change my location where I'm working from, do it from my parents' house, visit my dad in Buffalo.
I don't ever take this for granted.
take this for granted. And I thank God for it every single day. And then of course, I have to
And I thank God for it every single day.
say the incredible experiences and connections that have come from crypto. You know, a lot of
you know that I was lucky enough to get the best Christmas gift from Empress. We got to go to
Turning Point USA in Arizona in December, and Trump was there. So if you know me, you know what
that meant to me to get to, you know, dance with Trump in the same room. And we just had the most amazing time. That was our first time meeting too. And it was
just stellar. It was an incredible, not only vacation, but networking event. And I look forward
to more things like that. You know, I would have never been there had I not connected with Empress
through crypto and meme coins and GFI, all of that kind of aligned just
perfectly for me to be there. And since then, I've done nothing but traveling. I've gotten to travel
a lot more. And I have these incredible friendships where, like last night, we were on Alpha Junkies,
we're streaming DeFi NFTs, we're auctioning NFTs off, we're yelling at Pokemon packs.
And I had such a great time you
know for hours and afterwards i was like you know i was talking to my mom and i'm like yeah i was
just hanging out my friends for a few hours and she's like where did you go you sound really happy
and i'm like nowhere i was home but we were streaming we were hanging out the vibes were
high and i am so grateful for all of the amazing people experiences and freedom that crypto has brought into my life.
Oh, my goodness.
You said so many amazing things and you're absolutely right.
And again, like some of those experiences are also mine.
But, you know, I think for me was the connecting with people and just kind of bringing some light into my life.
Obviously, everybody here is so special.
They have their own unique, I call them traits.
You know, we all have something special.
And it's so nice that people get to share that here in Web3 because it is needed.
You know, it's not always, I guess, like, in real life could be a little bit
tough sometimes. And I feel like being an axe sometimes could kind of bring a different kind
of environment, because you're like, feeling like, okay, I don't have to, they could only hear my
voice. I mean, I'm happy, but like, it's not a lot of pressure. And I feel like it's a place where
it depends, like, you got to be careful to, you know, it's not a lot of pressure. And I feel like it's a place where it depends,
like, you got to be careful to, you know, surround yourself with good people. But so far,
I mean, I'm always laughing. I kid you not less like, and Pina, all of you guys, like I have a
chat, I'm always laughing. And people like you laugh a lot. I'm like, Yeah, I do. And that's
the best thing. And that's the best medicine for me. because why, you know, there's going to be days where I
don't feel like laughing, you know, and it just makes it so much, um, awful, but, um, so thank
you so much, Liz. Um, I am super grateful that I have met you another thing. Um, and all of you
guys, like you guys have been more than just friends.. You guys are family. We cry together.
We laugh together.
And it's so amazing to see like people genuinely are people here that really care about others, you know, and you guys are not selfish.
I hate selfish people.
I can smell snakes when I see one and I'm just, I don't know.
I don't have a good vibe, you know, and only show up when
it's convenient. You're not a good friend. If you're doing that, you are not a good friend.
You definitely need to be there for people if you want the same. And I'm a great believer of that.
I do want to pass the mic to Lady Trader. I don't know if you could speak, but I just wanted to know
really quick, what's the coolest thing you have done in crypto so far?
Yes, absolutely.
So glad to be here today.
It's been a busy day, but I'm here until one o'clock, so I'm good to go.
But this is like crypto is really one of those things where Web3, right?
The emerging tech.
I have not worked in a traditional nine to five in an office environment
since about 2019. And so, you know,
I have done like after I, you know, 2019 is when I kind of got out of the whole corporate, you know,
office type position. Because remember, for me, it was not really a nine to five. It was really
when I'm in the office, it's eight to eight. And I'm, you know, it's like multiple things I'm doing
and, you know, businesses on the side. And'm doing and, you know, businesses on the side.
And I was just, you know, just doing a lot of stuff.
And it was like, oh, my God, like, when do I get to spend time on the weekends?
I would, you know, handle business and so many different things.
And then I'm trying to trade and, you know, all of these things.
And it was just crazy.
But when I left, you know, my full-time positions and the office positions, then I got into consulting fully.
That was pretty incredible. And then Web3 was really incredible because that gave even more
flexibility than the traditional, you know, the traditional consulting gives you, right,
when I was building solutions. And so the best thing was that, which I will tell you,
this is actually a sad thing in a way but not too long ago I was out
with my husband and we were just driving around it was a weekend and we drove towards a there was
actually a building it was like an office building and from outside you could kind of see like the
cubicles and the offices and you could just kind of see and our car was just to stop at the signal
and I looked at this building and man that was like some sort
of a PTSD that it kicked off and this was not too long ago and I was like my god that used to be my
life at one point but I would go leave my family leave my kids behind go to work and be in an
office for the entire day and do it day after day after day, be around people that are not my family.
And I've always been the person who is like very much, you know, just execute, get things done,
right? Stay focused, get the work done. And not like they are to gossip and, you know, participate
in discussions that are not related to work. I loved, you know, discussions when it's about work
and, you know, executing tasks and projects, things like
that, building solutions.
All of those things, great, but I'm not the person who's going to stand there in the cubicle
and basically have gossips.
That wasn't who I was.
And so day after day, it was just like, wow.
When I looked at it, it was very sad.
It was heartbreaking thinking of it.
It scared me.
I was like, oh my God, that used to be me. Like I used to actually go to a structure like this. This is where I spent my
life. And that hit me so bad. I was like, wow. And that made me realize human beings are not
supposed to be sitting in cubicles all day long and not being around their family. That's just
not natural. And Stacey was there earlier today on MySpace, Crypto Empress, unless you both met her,
Twin Protocol CEO. Every time she's in a meeting, she brings her baby that she's wearing.
And it's just so cute. And it's the same for me. Like, you know, my babies are with me constantly.
My baby boy, you know, he's sometimes I'm snuggling up with him when I'm attending a
meeting and my clients know that, hey, you know, her baby is going to be on the call with her. They might hear
him in the background. And so it's like family comes first. So I think crypto has really changed
my life. Web3 has changed my life. And also even before Web3, you know, tech has changed my life
so much for the better. And so, you know, I've been trading crypto for a long time, but it's
been a painful journey. Like I mentioned 2014, that was a very painful year for me. I lost a lot of
money. And then it was like a consistent, you know, slow, consistent growth until getting to
the point where you no longer need anything. You work because you like to work or you advise
projects or you work with projects. You build really awesome technology because you want to do
it. It's not because you have a need anymore, right? But it takes time to get there.
Like I said, I was working a lot of hours, more than what a typical person does on their
nine to five. So to get to that level, it's not going to be overnight. And it's not easy
money. Like a lot of people come to Web3 thinking, oh, it's easy money because so-and-so made
money. No, it takes time. And we discussed it even less you were there on the career topic we had recently on
a space together. We discussed that like in Web3, sometimes you're not getting paid in money,
but you're getting paid in so many other things. So it's a slow, consistent growth to the point,
you know, where you could achieve all of your dreams. So just wanted to share that with everybody.
achieve all of your dreams so just wanted to share that with with everybody oh my goodness
thank you so much for that and it's truly um amazing to hear that um lady traders like you
know um i personally i could never go back to a real job i don't know like my resume um just
thinking about it i'm like i even tell my husband all the time, like, Hey, I don't know how I would ever
like, if this doesn't pan out, we need to figure something out because I can't see myself going
from nine to five. I'm like, I could barely wake up at nine, you know? Um, but that's always a joke
that I always tell people because truly sometimes, um, you know, early mornings now I take advantage
of just sleeping in, you know, I don't know, guys,
to me, sleeping in is such a reward. And also, like just having your own life, like you get to
pick your schedule, you get to arrange it how you want it, you are your own boss. So if you're
on web three, and you're actually this is your job. Congratulations, because it does bring a lot of freedom into your life, you know, and I get to think now like, all right, well, after this,
I'm going to the sauna. So I get to pick my time, I get to relax. So for me, rushing doesn't do.
I don't do well when people rush me, I will forget something, I will spill something I will.
will rush me uh i will forget something i will spill something i will you guys don't even know
how many like my old car how many times i have dropped the damn coffee because i was rushing
and obviously getting to point a to point b i was always late and i was running out of excuses to
the point where i'm like oh my god i'm pretty soon gonna get fired because i'm always late
but thankfully that was my sister's. I was
working for my sister. So she couldn't fire me, technically. But it's just one of those things
where it's just rewarding, you know, it's a reward to work in Web3 and make yourself your own boss.
Another thing that you did mention is like, you know, bringing we are family people. You know, we do feel better when we have our, you know, whatever your kids.
I call it my dog.
I love being here working with my son, too.
You know, it's just really rewarding.
So thank you, Lady Trader.
That was awesome intake.
And obviously, I think it is super awesome to be your own boss.
So congratulations to you. And I am going to pass the mic to Slick Rick. Hi, Slick Rick. How are you?
How you doing? I just, I'm out here at my shop running up doing some stuff for him. But I just wanted to come in, man,
and just give a little quick run through. When I first came into this space, man, I'm not even going to lie. I came in a dark time in my life because I had just lost my niece
and my nephew, both of my sister's kids. And I don't know why I came into this space.
I was playing poker, as many of you guys know, and one of my buddies got me into this.
One of the first coins I bought was whiff.
I made a bunch of money in it.
I'll say it humbly.
I was already doing okay before I came here.
I'm a business owner, father, all that stuff.
When I came in here, I didn't know what to expect. There was a time where I almost left.
You know, I just, I met a bunch of people.
It was always, it was a bunch of trenches, you know,
always in the trenches, always trying to buy a coin
or whatever, and just met a lot of people,
seen a lot of things.
And there was a time where I didn't want to be here
because I just didn't see
like there was real people in here until I went outside of that and um I started doing my own
spaces and I started uh you know just just being me and talking about my life and I felt like the
best part of this whole experience was just to be able to come in here and just share my life with people and get such good, you know, productive, uplifting and spiritual guidance with it.
You know what I mean? Because me personally, I work in the churches with the youth and stuff.
I've said it before, but I'm not perfect.
And I've come from a really hard life. And that was one thing that kind of broke me down.
And, uh, the best thing that honestly that's ever happened to me is, uh, it's just recently, man,
is messing with the G5 people. Um, man, I can't even tell you, I hadn't had that much fun
yesterday in a while. I don't really have a lot of friends. I keep to myself and my family.
And, you know, I thank so much to Kay. You know, she's the one that kind of brought me in. And
that's true. It's people like Kay and certain people in these spaces, you know, Liz, Crypto,
Empress, like, man, all you guys are awesome. That kind of just kept me in the space because
there was a time where I was like, man, this space ain't for me.
But now that here I am, you know, years later,
I can't be more grateful for my relationships
and I can't be more grateful for the experiences that I had to go through
to make me appreciate those relationships.
So, yeah, that's pretty much the best thing that's happened to me is you guys.
So I appreciate you guys.
I'm going to get back to what I'm doing, but thank you.
I'll be listening.
Oh man.
It's like, Rick, you, I mean, you know what it is about you, man?
You just talk from your heart, you know, it's like you're, you,
you just who you are, you know, and you don't have to hide it.
You know, like I think a lot of us, some of us, they portray a lot like
to be something that they're not, you know, and I get it. It's their persona, probably, I don't know.
But for me, I just like people to be authentic and real. And I think like when we go to your
spaces, or you speak, you really speak from your heart and experience, obviously. And a lot of us,
speak, you really speak from your heart and experience, obviously. And a lot of us, they're
too shy to talk about their feelings sometimes. And for me, I just love seeing that people like
you that are kind of, hey, you know, I don't care. I don't care what you think about me. But I'm going
to speak about how I feel and how you make other people feel that is really a gift. And obviously,
we do need that in crypto. I think crypto has changed a lot
and you could do so much,
you know, just growth,
making sure that you're passionate
about what you really love.
This is why I tell people,
what's your passion?
You want to be in Web3,
but what do you want to do?
You have to find that calling within you
in order to succeed in crypto.
You know, do you want to be just a space
host? All right, start, start kind of doing them, start bringing your audience, make them want to
be there. Second of all, like you want to do a marketer, like Lady Trader was saying, like,
we have all started somewhere, right? And it takes a lot of work. Are you ready for the work that you need to put?
Obviously, like she says to a lot of spaces, you know, they are free. I feel like it's like free knowledge. You know, we all need free knowledge.
We don't know it all, but we do want to listen to other experts or people, you know,
and see how you could kind of relate to that or how to get involved.
Not everything's going to be for you.
But why not be like going to college?
It's free.
You just have to be there and ready to ask questions.
I know Lady Traders for FOMO Fridays.
I like going to those because I'm not an expert when it comes to trading and all of that.
But I love to see people's perspective.
Obviously, Calvin, I can't wait for tomorrow
because I'm going to tell him he was wrong.
You know, we were super excited, Liz and us,
because he kept saying, no, this is a bullet trap.
This is a bullet trap.
And I was like, don't say that.
And then he said something about Ethereum.
And I was like, no, don't say that
because I have a lot of Ethereum.
So just things like that.
But, you know, it's the fact that you get different perspective.
It's not everybody just saying, hey, no, we're going to the moon.
People say, no, I don't think I'm seeing indicators about this and that, you know.
So I just love to really listen and acknowledge what they're saying.
And I take precautions like, OK, maybe it's he might be
right. So I'm going to take like, making sure that I set myself up for what's coming or in case this
happens. But the knowledge is real. I love it. Tomorrow, it's going to be at 10am. So don't miss
that. We're going to pin it to the jumbotron shortly. So I invite everybody to come. But yeah,
knowledge is power. So make sure that you guys are feeding
yourself with knowledge every day um I know what a lot of you guys are going to be millionaires
this bull run and just don't forget your girl crypto emperors and Liz you know we we're here
for you guys we want to cheer with you guys too um we should definitely be celebrating when you
guys get there so um I'm all about it. Liz, do you want to add anything?
Yeah, I agree with what you said earlier about Slick Rick.
I mean, everything he says, you could just tell comes straight from the heart.
And that's why I think a lot of us in G5 gravitated towards him so quickly, because
you love to see people like that and you don't always find them.
And I get it as well.
Like you mentioned, people want to have a persona. Maybe this is what works for them and that's how they run their
business or their web three situation. But we want to do more than that, right? We want to make it
different. We are here for crypto, but we also want to connect with people genuinely. So anyone
that I meet that is real and puts it out there on the table. Hey, this is me unapologetically. I love that.
And I want to be around those people. So again, like I always tell you guys, find people that
make you want to come to this space every day. And it's no problem. Red days, green days,
you want to be here. You have spaces to go to. You have things you want to attend,
people you want to support, people that want to support you and i love that about crypto it really is great yeah so also guys uh i do want to kind of remind you guys we are having a giveaway
as well toilet giveaway um toilet's been doing really good it's consolidating right now as we
speak but um the deb did say hey you know we want to give back to your community. So I did a giveaway.
So it's pinned to the Jumbotron.
I'm going to be picking four winners for this $25.
And if you guys didn't see Kay's post recently, she holds her $25.
And it is up to $600.
So I'm just saying, guys,
when you get a free gift from a project,
sometimes you do have to hold it.
You know, it didn't cost you anything,
but hey, some of them will do really good.
So I don't know.
Congratulations, Kay, on your win, 600.
She's like, I'm going for that.
10X, 10X, let's go.
I'm like, yeah, let's go, I'm going for that. 10X. 10X. Let's go. I'm like, yeah, let's go. I'm ready for
it. So I'm going to pass the mic to Miss Red Alark. How are you? Well, I'm happy to be here
with you, of course. I mean, isn't it obvious? I'm here. Actions are the only real thing. Words
are just bullshit. I mean, they're not bullshit, right? Because I talk a lot,
right? And you guys are making a lot of important points, but it's always good to, you know, kind of,
you know, matching, you know, not contrasting around with the words and actions, you know,
it's, it's a, but yeah, no, it's such an interesting topic. Like, you know, talking about like,
a lot of these things that you guys have already talked, talked about, you know, talking about like a lot of these things that you guys have already talked,
talked about, you know, having, being able to have more time with family, like Lady Trader
mentioned, and then Slick, you know, him speaking from his heart about all of these things. And
you guys speaking about some of the, you know, the emotional aspects of just being in crypto and how
it's changed your life. I think that all of that, you know,
kind of resonates. But if I were to honestly answer that question, I can't tell you what
is the best thing that crypto has done for me because I just, because it's just not even has
anything to do with money. It's just the ability just to be who I am because I, you know, I don't want to go into it too much as in my personal life.
But I did go through some some interesting stuff recently where it was just like my my nine to five or shall we say more like nine to nine grind was just not working out.
was just not working out. And, uh, and it, and I just, and I was convinced that I kept needing
to do stuff like that until, you know, on Christmas, on Christmas, I had to stop doing
it because my boss fired me and that was fun. Um, but you know, as, as my friend, John of Tezos,
I don't know if some of you guys know him. I was just like,
John, what the, he called me on Christmas and said, you're not doing this anymore,
but we'd love for you to do a commission only position. I mean, that would be great.
And I was just like, whatever. But he's like, you know what? You're not going to think of this as
anything bad. You're just going to start grinding. And, um, I did start doing some, um, work where
I'm a promo model and a brand ambassador for lots of different
agencies and that's a whole and that's also a very cool thing but it's still it's just when I
want to do it and I do it more as it's not just to get paid but they're networking opportunities
to connect with companies that I want to connect with especially ones that I think really need
web3 you know in their business model and so I find that to be very powerful.
But, you know, I mean, just the emotional thing with crypto, just being to be able to
say what you feel, to be able to talk about what you want and just not not without any
consequence, but just knowing that, OK, you know what, whatever I say,
you know, if people vibe with it, they vibe with it.
If they don't, they don't.
And what John told me to do was he said, you're going to grind.
And almost every day, you're going to host a space on a different blockchain.
And then everything else you want to do will evolve past that.
He said, if you just do it, and if you just do something consistently every single day
and stop depending on all these dysfunctional degenerates.
Sorry, I don't mean to use that word in a mean way, but he felt like I was depending on a lot of dysfunctional people.
And he said, you just need to do something that's for you and do it every day.
And it'll it'll be for you. But at the same time, you'll still be able to support people and help people the way you want to.
But you just need to do something that's kind of just true to who you are every day. And, um, and you'll start to, and you'll be a lot
happier. And he yelled at me and then he got off the phone and he said, and tomorrow we're talking
Cardano and I'll see you at noon. And then ever since I took John's advice, um, well, let me just
say, uh, it made me get to meet amazing people like you and Peanut and Liss and and the toilet project or shall I just say toilet club or whatever.
I mean, and they're doing a lot of amazing things, too.
So as corny as it sounds, I think it's just the ability to be who you are, because when people talk about financial freedom, most of the time, I don't even know the fuck they know what they're talking about.
They don't even know what the fuck freedom is. They don't. They just, I mean,
because if you just talk to somebody who's really irresponsible and they go, yeah, it just means I've
got like a few million dollars in the bank and then I don't think about it. It's like, that is
not the most responsible way to think about it. You're just going to fail. And the other thing is,
is that, you know, people, when people think financial freedom just means money, it's like, bitch, money a lot of times just shuts people up.
That's that's not the point. It's being able to have liberty to be able to do what you want.
It's be able to have like more self custody. And granted, we do have a lot of issues in the DeFi space.
And some people are saying that we need to bring more, you know, traditional, I mean, hybrid TradFi and DeFi solutions just to get people on board.
But at a certain point, you know, freedom obviously means more responsibility.
And with more responsibility means that there is going to have to be more education at that certain point.
And at a certain point, yeah, maybe those hybridized, more accessible solutions got you into it.
hybridized, more accessible solutions got you into it. But at a certain point, you're going to
have to talk to more people about how to have more responsibility and freedom with that self-custody.
But again, that all comes down to the gift of just being able to be who you are. And I think
that's more what freedom is and not having responsibility. And if I went on a sandbox,
is and not having responsibility. And if I went on a sandbox, a sandbox, a soapbox, you know,
just let me know, get me off the rails, get me back on topic. But that's just how I feel for now.
No, I love it. I love it. You calling it how it is. But seriously, yeah, a lot of people do not
know what financial freedom is. And a lot of them have, you know, a perspective of, hey, when Lambo
or, you know, they they want the fancy Rolex and all these things. And I don't know if it's the
age or, you know, but for me, it's like, no, I want to pay all my debt. I want to be comfortable.
I want to be just happy being able to take care of my family and loved ones and go wherever the hell I want
whenever I want. That's freedom for me. You know, and I think a lot of us like we I guess me and
Liz have a lot of things in common. We want to travel the world. We want to see more. We want to
just explore what's the opportunities out there because you never know. And the beautiful part
is that a lot of you guys are international now. So who knows, we do a meetup, or I have met a lot of people while I've been traveling and, you know, India. Where was the
other part? I went to Hong Kong. I mean, there's so many opportunities and just grab coffee like,
hey, all right, let's let's go and do a little meetup. Obviously, make sure you are with someone that do not go alone. But it's just nice
to kind of meet our friends that we've talked to every day. And when I met Liz for the first time,
it was literally like, Oh, my God, I'm so nervous. Like, you know, like, but I don't know why I was
nervous. But it's like, you never know, like, are you guys gonna, you know, are we gonna mesh or
are we gonna vibe together? And I'm always that person because I, I am, I feel like I'm neutral,
but I'm a little bit too much. When you meet me, I'm like very hyper.
I want people to have fun. I start ordering drinks.
I'm the bad influencer, but in a good way, you know, like that's a good thing,
good quality to have, but I like to break the, the, you know,
the barriers first. I'm like,
hey, let's go have a drink because I'm feeling kind of not like a little nervous. But after
that whole like first part happens, and we're just like, Yeah, girl, my God, we're the same.
And we started vibing. So it is really awesome to hear that. So thank you so much. We do have
more people coming up. I have never seen the rundown welcome to the empire hub
how are you today hey what's up how are you nice to connect with you nice to meet y'all
good to good to be here um i'm just listening i'm listening to you guys
i was i was curious about the question and you know what's the coolest thing crypto has
done for you and i wanted to hear everyone's answers i know my answer but i can hold on to it
no please share we want to hear from you i mean welcome to um i'm always happy to see new faces
here in the space so welcome oh thank you thank you, thank you for being so inviting. Yeah, the coolest thing for me
is, I guess I could have a real positive answer, that the coolest thing for me is
the understanding that we don't need to have a seat at the table in cryptocurrency,
we don't need to have a seat at the table in cryptocurrency.
We can make our own table.
And the beauty of this world is, you know,
it's a world of inclusion.
It's just a lot of the times we fear what we don't understand.
So this is an opportunity for people to be a part of what is the future moving forward,
especially with the tools that we have to learn it.
And the coolest thing about cryptos is helping people understand that
so that they can unlock something and be a part of these blocks that we're building on the blockchain
and submit themselves into this future.
So the onboarding process is the coolest thing for me. The ability to show people that, yeah,
they can sit, whether it's my table, your table, or their own table, and the concept of them
learning that. And now the game changer is AI,
which helps them understand that even more clear
and not having to kind of make them feel left out
or intimidated because technology could be intimidating,
but we're making it easier.
So I think that's the coolest thing crypto has done for me is allow
me to create, but then also show people how to create so that whether they create for themselves
or create for our projects, we're here. So that's my answer. Wow, that's amazing rundown. So I'm going to your bio. So obviously you are a big fan of AI.
You're a creative director, AR artist.
And obviously today we had like before this space,
we were talking about having like twin AI.
So imagine having your own twin that's doing all that stuff
that while we're sleeping, creating content and all that.
So definitely need to connect you with Lady Trader.
She's right here in the panel.
This is going to be huge.
And we've been talking about this because we've been talking about how we could also,
I mean, the future of AI is growing so rapidly, you know, when it comes to just technology.
So if you're not learning about what's happening, all the tools that are coming into crypto, then you are going to be left behind.
And for me, using my twin, exactly like my persona, my person, I get to tell it what I needed to do and say, hey, you know, for 24 seven, I just want you to start like creating
content, I want you to post every one hour or two hours ahead of time, and it will do it all for you.
So it's something that you know, I guess for us, we're big in AI, and we want to learn more. And
we're just we're literally just intaking everything. And I'm pretty sure ai like music it's already developing i'm pretty
sure it's already being used everybody is just kind of getting there so yeah what you have your
hand up oh yeah i was gonna say um yeah absolutely you know the twin is interesting that you that
you brought up because one of of the projects that we're building
actually has a twin. We're creating a twin around the project. And for anyone that is paying
attention to crypto, one of the categories in cryptocurrency that is booming and has a bright
future is RWA, real world assets. So I won't show the project, but it does consist of a basketball,
and this basketball is the Chicago Bulls' first championship.
So technology is allowing us to create a digital twin of that ball,
and that ball lives on and creates an AI agent,
creates gaming experiences, AI, things like that.
So as you mentioned, twin, the cool part about AI is, yeah, you could take physical objects that have immense value in the world,
create a digital twin of these and allow them to live on and allow them to be tokenized and fractionalized
to live on and allow them to be tokenized and fractionalized
so that people globally can own a piece of the twin
or the physical object and be able to build as community.
So that's the beauty of crypto.
We're only 16 years in,
and we're still teaching cryptocurrency
how to talk and crawl and walk.
It still is in its toddler infancy stages.
And now we're talking twins.
Now we're talking AI, RWA.
And, you know, there's so much growth around the corner.
So we always say this.
We say you guys are so early.
It's because you are.
It's because most of the world hasn't wrapped their brain around the
concept yet or haven't experimented so um you know again you know that's the cool part and
um that's the coolest thing ai has done for me is kind of open up these doors
no absolutely lady trader d um i don't know if you have a moment because I know she's going through meetings right now.
But Lady Trader, she's so knowledgeable in this area, man.
She's been following all those AI projects. Do you want to add anything to the conversation?
Yes, absolutely. No, this was incredible. And RWAs are definitely going to be big.
And so I could relate to that as well.
RWA's are basically what's happening is tokenize everything is really going to be,
we're going to be hearing a lot about this, right?
Everybody's going to be talking about tokenize this, tokenize that, this is coming.
I know we've been talking about AI quite a bit, right?
AI is already here, it's taking over.
But RWA is the next big thing. And then also D-PIN.
So RWA, the projections that I'm seeing right now is by 2030, it's going to be a $16 trillion market, which is pretty incredible.
That's the amount of money that's actually pouring into RWA.
So we are tokenizing all of the digital assets that we have currently, like tradable assets.
we have currently like tradable assets right so we're talking about equities markets so somebody
sitting in pakistan can actually buy a token or can buy securities in the u.s tradable securities
tradable assets through tokenization which is crazy right that's incredible and they don't have
to go through anything they don't have to go through like a hedge fund or anything they can
just buy it on the blockchain which is amazing and RWA, this is going to be amazing where you're
going to be able to tokenize physical assets as well, right? Now we are talking about lands,
which is, you know, another thing I always talk about my dad. He had a really awesome, like,
you know, knowledge base, and he would always see things before it would happen. He was someone who
predicted, you know, Bitcoin was going to be big when Bitcoin first came out. Same with nanotechnology
and cloud. Those three were like his, like he talked about those a lot. And another thing he
talked about that he told me was buy land, buy as much land as you can, because that's going to be
the future. And now we are talking about tokenizing land so that anyone in the world can buy a piece
of land anywhere they want it. I mean, that's incredible, right? And then deep ends are the
same way. We are talking about powering up internet connection. We are powering up
electricity in different parts of the world where otherwise it wouldn't be possible.
These things are already happening. There are projects that are providing internet services
into certain parts of the world where it would be pretty impossible to get those services for free.
And so they are basically doing it through D-Pen technology,
which is amazing.
And so RWAs, D-Pens, D-Sci, all of these things are great.
And then you tokenize your own data, which is great, right, through AI.
And right now, the way things work is if you go get a DNA test,
where does that data go?
You don't own it.
Now, if we tokenize it, now it lives on blockchain.
It belongs to you. You can monetize it. You can sell it if you want to and that's how it should be it shouldn't
be you know a third-party company taking all of your data and then selling it somewhere else
that is just ridiculous it's insane and so you have to own your data so personalized decentralized
ai tokenization deepens these are the future tech and it's already here.
Like it's no longer a future, actually, it's the present and it's just evolving, it's growing.
So definitely keep an eye on these technologies and be involved in it, you know, be out there,
educate yourself. The good thing is we are super early, like we are the ones, like if you talk to
someone, a normie, you know, talk to them about RWA, they don't know what we're talking about. Talk to to them about rw they don't know what we're talking about talk to them about deep end they don't know what we're talking about right
and that's how a lot of people felt about tech like i remember when i was talking about cloud
tech a lot of people would know and so we are so early if we are able to understand what these
technologies are so that's all i would have to add i'm gonna have to run to uh something here
in three minutes but this was absolutely incredible now if that's being I would have to add. I'm going to have to run to something here in three minutes. But this was absolutely incredible.
No, if that's been sorry, I interrupted you.
No, thank you.
No, thank you, Lady Trader.
I know she is running from Telegram to Telegram meetings, meetings.
You know, that's how we do it here in crypto.
We're just constantly grinding where we're not on stage.
I always tell people like it's crazier in the back end and the
front end. I call it this the storefront. This is fun, but not when we're going backstage. It's like,
okay, it's time to get like to work, you know. So yes, Red, do you want to add anything?
Yeah, no, absolutely. Like, in case I just suddenly got shy which we obviously know that's not the
case that's always a lie um but you know lady trader you know talked about something that i
kind of harp into the ground and it's something i need to actually start talking about more which is
the whole thing with rwas like it's gonna be just so normal it's ridiculous and you know part of the
reason being is that you know know, RWA is you
could, I mean, normally just investing them in a, without having all the protocols that we have
with DeFi here. Yeah, sure. It's useful, but protocols with DeFi here in this space make it
a lot more profitable, which is another reason why it's, it's, everything's going that way.
I mean, Hedera, they just had a partnership with, I forget which companies, but tokenizing luxury diamonds.
So some of the first like luxury assets, I mean, refi hub with Solana, um, they have
a lot of, there's a pipeline where you can invest in a lot of green energy stuff.
And I've been seeing some stuff recently where in China, there was some companies developing
even, you know, solar powered solutions that are more powerful than nuclear, which is a
good thing
in a lot of ways. So just the ability to, you know, to be able to invest in all of these RWAs
is incredible. And, you know, and that is going to be like the wave of the future. I think we are
going to see more, you know, tokenizing with all of that. And plus, as y'all know, the revolution
isn't televised, it's going to be tokenized. But one thing that I do kind of just want to push back on just a little bit, not because I'm not grateful, but when but the whole statement of we're so early, like I push back on that and come a couple of the other rooms I met. a sense that there isn't time that there's time to learn and that we should be patient. And that
in the sense that it's a small percentage of the world that is using crypto. Yes, that is true. But
I am somebody who doesn't really like to say that so much, just, you know, for the simple fact of
like, when you say something like, oh, it's too, it were early. I think some people, not you guys,
but I think there's a lot of people that would take it the wrong way. Like, oh, if it's too, we're early. I think some people, not you guys, but I think there's a lot of people
that would take it the wrong way. Like, oh, if it's so early, then I think, then I can procrastinate.
Oh, if it's so early, then I can wait till tomorrow. But it's like, well, but why would
you want to procrastinate on the betterment of your life, on the betterment of your future?
Because my concern is that, well, part of my concern is just that when a lot of these regulations start to come in, which eventually
they are as, you know, cash dies, that we're going to start having to fight battles that we didn't
have, that we don't have to fight right now as more centralization, which I know is a dirty word
for a lot of people or regulation creeps in. So why not? Why procrastinate? Why not try to get in,
learn as much as you can now until those come in?
I'm not saying that it's doom and gloom once that starts to happen, because no matter what,
as in Jurassic Park, they always say what nature finds a way. We'll always fight back
against regulations, but why not take advantage of, of it now? Why not just say, you know what,
you know what, maybe there is like a small percentage of people that use it.
Maybe it's true. We're not at the point where it's just mass adoption. But you know what?
Why not just take advantage of it now? Why not learn as much as I can now instead of saying,
oh, well, we're early as an excuse. But I'm not saying she's making it as an excuse.
I'm just saying I'm afraid to kind of keep spreading that narrative just because I want people to take more control of their own lives now.
And if anybody wants to argue with me, well, I just might like it.
Let's argue.
Peanut.
No, I think that there's kind of different i mean different mentality sometimes too i mean
we do have the lazy people right like the people that just want everything handed to them
and be like oh well this person told me uh it's gonna be the next uh 1000x you know um i think
like what everybody means and technology wise that we're saying like we're so early I think that
just like saying that the majority of the world doesn't really own crypto I mean even my mother
in law I have to explain to her what I do for a living and I think I've been telling her for over
a year and she still asks me the same question every time I see her um And, you know, it's just people like when I have a conversation, I mean,
even if I'm in a room, I try to pick brains from people. I'm like, hey, have you heard of crypto?
Oh, yeah. Bitcoin, Ethereum. Literally, they talk about Bitcoin, Ethereum, but little do they know
there's a bigger world out there than just Bitcoin and Ethereum, you know, so it just depends. But I
do want to pass the mic to Slick Rick.
He does have his hand up.
What's up, my friend?
Oh, no, love the conversation and the knowledge.
I just kind of wanted to say that I resonated a lot
with what Ron had said earlier
about helping people cement themselves
in the blocks of the whole ecosystem, right?
I'll just end it with this.
You know, I feel like every one of us has our own intrinsic value, right?
We all have a special skill set.
We all have a unique voice and we can utilize it to the best of our abilities.
But sometimes we lack self-confidence.
Sometimes we lack, you know, just the belief system of what we've been through in our life that no one ever gave us that or no one really believes.
So sometimes we've got ourselves, but then you run across other individuals in the space who have that knowledge, have that wisdom, but they and they also see that in you.
And sometimes it just takes those type of individuals to give you that boost and say,
hey, you know what?
You got something right there.
Let me help you utilize this.
Let me help you look at this for this way and this way
and help you build who you are
and what you want to do in this space
and really cement into this blockchain, like he said.
So I love that.
That's all I really wanted to say.
Thank you. No, thank you. you i love this i love the ground table when people get involved and talk and meeting new
people in the space obviously um that's what we'd like to do too i mean we do um we do love
onboarding people or if someone has questions i mean mean, we might not know it all, but we definitely have
the right people. We have the connections. We do have whatever you need. We will bring experts if
something is a topic that we should really dive into. So that's what the power of knowledge. I
mean, all of you guys, I mean, all of you guys bring something very unique and maybe experience
that others don't. And this is why i like a round table where people just
kind of interact with one another so um i'm gonna pass the mic to mr dragon a dragon writer what's up
what is up empress man hey i love this space this is awesome Up

you know that's that's a whole career right there.
You see? Okay, Pablo, you start.
You see my wallet right next to my wallet
to my page? You can start.
Do that little
engagement, guys. $5 a
day. This is what we work
with in crypto, guys. This is what we work
with in crypto. You want to be my friend?
Here's the wallet address.
Send me money money it's the
kindness of your heart pablo you're already rich you know so you just came in and said all right
and i'm just trying to say how you can make money but i already made so many millions and millions
of dollars millions and millions right so that's why I'm going to, of course, because you're my friend, be like, all right, you said the $5.
I could make a decent amount.
So let's start that, you know, trend.
Let's go, guys.
Let's go.
Let's all send her $5 so she can buy herself coffee for a year.
We love it.
No, but I'm with you guys now.
For real, like, crypto really can change your life.
It really can. It can change your life it really can it can change your life like today I woke up and I was like you know what I guess I should make breakfast I gotta
eat you know back when I was an employee I that was there was no such thing in waking up and
making breakfast your ass got up and you had to go because you already pressed snooze button like 10 times on
the alarm and you're like damn i'm already 30 minutes late what am i gonna tell my boss well
that's me yes yesterday i told my dog did something the day before my kid did something
the other day my flat tire broke what else can i say Is it my stomach today? Like, what the fuck do I got to say to the boss?
Because I don't want to get written up again.
Well, you know, it's a lot different now.
Now you just get up, you make breakfast, you jump on a spade, you listen to people talk.
And it really does change your life.
And a lot of the times, like, when you join crypto, at first you join to make
a little bit of extra money, right? A little bit of extra money. And then you hear that people are
making millions of dollars. You're like, fuck, I want some of those millions of dollars. So now
your next mission is to make millions of dollars. And then when you make millions of dollars,
you'll know what the fuck to do with yourself because after you made millions you go on vacation
for like six months and then you kind of get exhausted have you ever been exhausted of going
on vacation like it actually gets exhausting so i was like you know well let's try shopping so you
shop for like a week like fuck this have you ever shop for a week straight like that shit gets exhausting so then you're like okay
so what the hell do i do then what's the point then you realize that you got to find a purpose
and then when you find a purpose that thrives you then you feel good again and then you know
on top of that your bills are auto pay you don't have to worry about all that stuff because it sucks.
Who here hates paying the power bill?
You ever hate just having to log in and pay for that shit, and then you look at it, and you're like, this shit was $50 more this month than it was last month, and I swear that I
used the same amount of power.
I don't know what happened right imagine taking that burden away or you get that Verizon bill
you're like these these guys are charging me extra minutes it's supposed
to be unlimited and then you got a call customer service look man I don't know
what the hell is this 1099 and then they remind you that you went to call customer service. Look, man, I don't know what the hell is this 1099.
And then they remind you that you went to the store and you bought the stupid ass cable because you didn't want to order it online.
And then you're like, oh, that's what it was.
You know, you don't have to do any of that stuff.
Once you make it, you put all that shit on auto.
And if they're screwing you over, don't even notice so you don't really
care and that is the beauty the beauty of freedom guys is worth it so keep doing it and then you can
do stuff like you know like what i do just build technology for fun entertainment and then so
crypto empress can judge it and then she can say like can say, like, I don't like this. I don't like that.
And you're like, okay, Miss Expert on Technology.
And then you just keep doing it.
That kind of sounds like a dig.
I know.
I dig it, right?
But, yeah, that's all I got, guys.
Just stay motivated.
Damn, Pablo.
Just stay motivated.
Because of my space and just be a thing.
And roast me.
And roast me.
Roast me.
We have a love and hate relationship.
It's bullish.
You guys should try it.
It's fun.
Keeps it entertaining.
You know, if you're my DMs, I always keep it entertaining to anyone.
I'm a savage.
I'm a jiff, a memer.
You name it.
I am the best of the best.
I will make you laugh.
So I will just end it with that.
But Pablo, I definitely need to do your freaking,
I want to be your manager.
Like literally, I want to manage your accounts.
Imagine all the money I could save you
and then you just give me that money.
Dude, if you're giving free money,
just give it to Empress.
Like, I will take it.
And Liz would take it.
I mean, Liz, I think we could do this.
I know.
I know.
I've commented on some of his posts like, hey, when, when.
But he never has a good response.
Right.
Wind pump.
That's my favorite one.
Wind pump.
Yeah.
Just like all the gold diggers down there
right Pablo yeah man we don't see any of them in crypto they're all honest they talk to you
just because they really like you guys if some girl's talking to you just know she is truly
interested and she's not into crypto bros for your money. Okay? It's pure, pure interest.
Okay?
I'm into crypto bros for the heartache, personally.
But go on.
Yeah.
Oh, so you love the breakups?
I love the drama.
Oh, my gosh.
I love the love songs that I wrote for them on the blockchain.
That's the best.
But go on.
Sorry.
Oh, my gosh.
Who wasn't excited for uh metallic
to get a girlfriend like come on guys who was he seemed pretty excited about it too i mean i'm not
excited about it look at the the i mean i'm still waiting for an ath so i don't think this is a good
a good move from him well nobody said anything about making you rich, Empress. We're talking about his emotions, his feelings.
You're like, fuck his feelings.
Yeah, pump my bags, please.
We got bills to pay.
Good times, man.
Well, thank you, Pablo.
Thank you for always sharing some wise words.
Pretty much, he's just saying,
work your ass harder,
guys.
Stop being lazy.
Don't be a gold digger and just fucking kill it in the space and be like
build some technology in the future and you will be great.
So that's what I took from Pablo speech.
I don't know about you,
Liz,
anything else that I miss?
I really love your summary.
It's even better than what he said,
but it's true. Again, it goes with
the same theme that we had here about you work
hard, you make it here in crypto, and you
get that freedom, you get the extra time,
and there's nothing better in life, really.
Couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more.
We will all get there. We will all get there we will all get there
eventually Pablo I have no doubt about it I think it was Pablo who was talking about
just that whole journey of like purpose and meaning and because like sorry my ex was glitching
I am right because it says Pablo is a listener but Pablo was the one talking about that. Isn't that correct? Yeah. I mean, I, I really like that because,
you know, obviously like, you know, freedom is more responsibility, but being able to have
curated choices in order to make more choices based on adding meaning to your life, adding purpose to your life,
rather than just being in a grind of survival where it's like you literally shut your mouth
just to keep money in your pocket. But just having that freedom, well, it's not freedom,
but just being able to just make more meaningful choices
to and you kind of and you have that ability i mean that's incredible and so i just want to say
i appreciate you bro
probably am i ragging no i think probably is um he has Boost Mobile, so sorry.
Wait, Boost Mobile?
I thought he had the Solana phone.
No, he has Boost Mobile, you see?
He just dropped down because his internet connection is not doing so well.
But thank you so much.
Let's keep passing the mic. I know we have a couple of legends up here.
Peanut, I know you've been waiting to share your story,
and I know you're done eating your food now, I hope.
Unless you're still eating, we could definitely give you more time.
And I'm not going to repeat what I said I was eating.
I'm not even going to go there.
I'm not even going to go there.
Anyways, yeah, for me, you know, being...
Go there, bro.
Just do it.
Just go there.
People want to know, Tina, what you're there, bro. Just do it. Just go there.
People want to know, Pina, what you're eating, baby.
Oh my gosh. I'm not even going to repeat myself because people are going to take it out of context and they're only going to hear what they want to hear.
But on a serious note, just want to say, you know, first off,
I really do appreciate everyone that's here in this space.
I think it's just been been great to to hear
from such a wide range of intelligent and and just experienced people you know in in the traditional
business world especially when it comes to crypto and and web3 is why i really do enjoy learning
from from all of you guys but for me honestly you know coming coming into the space in the
first place and and not even you know having an expectation of of working alongside communities
or teams or even getting paid for my time you know just to see what's been able to really
transform over the last couple of years when you really start to apply yourself.
You know, I think for me, crypto has given me a way to really just like improve
and develop as an individual, as cheesy as that may sound.
You know, it's provided a lot of structure to my life as well,
even when I think even to the
point of, of what Dragon was saying to, you know, even during some of the toughest and,
and lowest moments of, of life, just with like family news or whatever it might be,
you know, there's, there's something about coming here and knowing that, you know,
you can jump into a group chat, you can jump into a Discord server, Telegram, you know, channels like there's so many different avenues.
You can jump on the timeline, be in spaces and you can be picked up and supported.
You know, people are there for you, you know, jump on a phone call with someone.
It's just like there are so many good people here in this space. Again, even with all the noise and all the negativity, like I said, it's really allowed me to, again, just have structure to life that's needed.
You know, when, you know, maybe you're kind of lost or you're not quite sure what the next step is in life, just to be able to be here and to be connected.
Like you were saying, Empress, as well, to be connected to people all across the globe at any given time.
You know, you're talking to people in every time zone, it seems, or we are as a space.
I mean, again, that's really what keeps me here is the people, the relationships.
You know, yeah, it's one thing to have financial gain or financial freedom and to take advantage of different opportunities
are here. But if you're not experiencing that with other people, it's, it's, I'm sure it's
probably pretty lonesome for people too. And so to be able to do it with great people,
to experience the wins together, even, you know, some of the lessons and some of the heartbreaks
too, you know, it's, it's one of those things where you get to grow side by side with other people.
So for me, I would say that's probably
one of the biggest things crypto has done for me, honestly.
It's given me a lot of confidence.
It's, like I said, allowed me to develop as an individual
with, again, just speaking skills, writing skills,
being able to connect and network with people
in a way where I can truly display
and showcase my true and authentic self.
So even if I haven't gotten to meet someone yet in person, they know that who they're
meeting is the same peanut online as they're going to meet in person too.
And so for me, that's really what it's, what it, what it's been about over, you know,
the last couple of years, since I've really started to apply myself, you know, get active
on X, kind of shift away from discord a little bit and, and really just kind of open up the,
the doors to opportunities in terms of, again, aligning with different brands, different,
different ecosystems, and even just being able to travel too. You know, being in this space has allowed me to travel, you know, all across the U.S.
and really, again, just been able to experience things I wouldn't have experienced otherwise,
which for me, you know, the memories, you know, the times I've had in different states
at crazy hours of the day, you know, just doing silly stuff, serious stuff, like whatever it might
be. I mean, for me, it's, it's invaluable. You know, there's no amount of money that can,
you know, replace those memories. So yeah, that, that would, I would, that's what I would say is,
is, is probably the best way in my perspective, given kind of my journey,
you know, answering the question and topic at hand
for the day. Well, thank you so much, Pina. And literally, like, I always tell people there is
opportunities here on Web3, we just have to go find them, you know. And I'm a go getter, you know,
when I want something, I have to figure it out how to go get it like nothing has ever been given to me um and probably that's always been my life like in general so i always take my experience and i
whatever recommendation i give to people it's like you know i when i came into the space nothing was
handed like literally i had to work from my account from zero to where i am now and just kind of
networking and meeting people supporting and
you're going to connect with some people and you're not going to connect with all of them you
know and that's okay but I think for you Pina like I really love that you're just getting out there
you're getting out of your comfort zone you know and that is important you can never be in the same
place if you're too comfortable then you're not growing as a person and an individual and that's also in
in your real life you know when you feel too comfortable like oh this is good you always have
to have that drive to wanting more and i think crypto is that like it's like a i don't want to
say it's a drug but it's like a drug a happy drug like oh my god this could change a lot of
things in my life i could help more people i could
support my family um i could do you know the dreams that my parents always wanted and this year
my goal is to pay my parents house you know that is my goal and if i don't make it i'm gonna keep
pushing until i make that goal but you have to have short-term goals and long-term goals and
this is why I tell people,
I think you should start thinking now about future.
What do you want as, you know, I get it.
We all want to retire, but like literally what's retirement?
Like what does it look like?
You know, what's important in your life? Not the Lambo.
I know Lambo is just luxury.
It only for a little bit,
and you're probably not going to be able to afford it
It's so expensive even to do an oil change, you know
Just in general like you're gonna go broke but just having a car, you know
Like that's what i'm saying go buy property go buy yourself a house
Go buy something that you know in the long run
It's gonna help you and your your family and if you're gonna have kids, you know
You want to make sure that
you're leaving something to them too so yeah peanut yeah just something real real quick as
you were as you were talking it it provoked another thought that i had too is that being
being in this space while it is very freeing and i think we got to hear a lot of that especially
from lady trader before she had to bounce too it's's one of those things that I kind of see it as like, you know, if you walk
into like, you know, you're, you're standing before like a beach or like paradise, like this
gorgeous place. Like, honestly, that's how I see this, this crypto landscape too, in a way where,
you know, you have an opportunity, like you're standing right at the edge of, of being in an
incredible place.
Obviously there's going to be different variables that come your way that are,
you know, going to present challenges and a lot of lessons for you.
But the reality is that while, you know, it's, it's right there, it's,
it's there for you to enjoy and to make the most of,
like it can also be like ripped away from you too.
At the same time, like being here in this space, it really requires, as some people say, even with going to the
gym, which I know you're super passionate about.
I know L.C.'s super passionate about it.
I know there's a number of other people that share about it.
I know I'm, you know, the gym and faith for me has, has saved my life.
It's been incredible.
It's, it's like going to the gym and like, you know, paying, paying rent.
It's like going to the gym and like, you know, paying, paying rent, it's like paying
your dues. And that's very much how it is here in this space too, where is, is there so much freedom
without, you know, structure and without intentional focus of where it is that you
actually want to go. Like you said, short-term, medium, long-term goals. I mean, again, it could
be ripped away from you and, and then you're going to be presented with an opportunity.
Well, I guess there are more of circumstances where, you know, you maybe have to change some of your lifestyle because you chose not to apply yourself or take things seriously here.
So that was just another thought.
Again, as great as this space is, it really does take intentional focus if you really want to, you know, not only sustain yourself or establish yourself, but then scale. And I'm very much learning that in live time, too. So it's like I got it all figured out. I'm speaking from some sort of high horse, but just, you know, sharing, you know, from my journey and just sharing from what I've learned from other people, too.
what I've learned from other people too. No, thank you for that, Peanut. And that's absolutely
you're in the you nailed it. I mean, what's the point of having so much money when your health
and mental health is not doing so well? You know, like I always see like that. I think Pablo always
says that. Pablo, you want to add to that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. i love what peanuts said um sorry if my connection sucks i actually
came to pick up my daughter from uh elementary so uh yeah one thing i want to throw on there
that uh is super crazy because like you know when you
man and then somebody calls me then you guys love when somebody calls you when you're in the middle
of talking put it on do not disturb i know i swear we need to do that oh let me do that real
quick and then i'll hang up but anyways like when i when i used to work all the time like
the idea of even picking up my child from school was like not even a thought, right? So like if you're here and you have kids and it's like,
like you should have so much motivation for the, for certain things.
You know what I mean?
Like the,
just the idea of you being able to like pick up your kid from school and
take them to the park or, or take them out for ice cream or,
or do something,
something that you normally wouldn't do as a nine to five worker should,
should be the thoughts that
go through your head that drive you to move forward to the next level, right? And those
little things are what real wealth is. Because look, all the money that I made in crypto, I'm
not going to take it when I go. I'm going to die and it's going to stay here. You know,
what you take with you is memories.
You're going to take, you know, depending on what you believe after death,
but you're going to die happy because you live.
You weren't alive.
You lived.
There's a big difference between being alive and living.
There's a big difference. So whatever drives you, whatever motivates you, that's what you need to focus on.
drives you, whatever motivates you, that's what you need to focus on. And, you know, to me,
to me, it was freedom was such a desirable thing because I was so stuck to working.
Like even when I ran a company, I would wake up at six and get home at eight or nine.
So my kids would be sleeping when I go to work and I would come home and they would be going to bed.
And that was my lifestyle, right?
It's a sad situation.
So to be able to hang out with them a lot more from any day, like, for example, if I don't want them to go to school for one day, like, fuck school.
Let's go do something fun today.
You can do those things, right?
That's what life's about, man.
It's not about the Lambos and the luxurious stuff, even though, I mean, that stuff's cool.
Like rent a Ferrari for a weekend.
You'll fucking love it.
I'm telling you, you press that fucking gas going to Vegas.
You're going to be like, holy shit, I'm alive, right?
But that's not everything, okay?
That's it.
That's all I wanted to say thank you
thank you pina oh my goodness you guys are saying so many amazing things and truly that is i mean i
think this is why we are so connected um i think it's it's kind of we have same values we have same
goals and obviously some of you guys still trying to
figure out what you guys want to do and this is what i mean like keep joining spaces like this
keep listening to other people maybe you'll find your calling and the opportunity is there and the
beauty of crypto is that you could create your own business as well like there's no the sky is the limit you know so i am gonna pass the mic
because i do have a couple more requests but i do want to give the mic to rudy how are you rudy
hello everybody i wanted to come up here with vince's you know vince dragon writer i wanted
to come up here with his energy but unfortunately i, I only had three quarters, not four, and I only had one Red Bull.
He was scared off by you, Rudy.
He was scared off, so he had to dart real quick.
I've known Vince for a while now.
Love this space, as always.
Love these topics.
Love what everyone is talking about. I just kind of want to, you know, the cool thing for me, and I hope this doesn't come across as sounding arrogant, but it's being given the opportunity to help build something while it is still in the new stages.
We who survived all the BS of the beer market, all the toxicity that was going around, and we continue to stick it out and keep learning, we're the ones educating the new people coming in.
These spaces are the ones educating people
as to how to do your own research.
These spaces are the ones,
and people like us out on Twitter
are the ones who are now calling out the bad guys.
I think being involved in something as early as we are
and having the ability to help mold it into where it should be is something that
I find kind of mind-blowing because 50 years from now, 100 years from now, when people look back,
not so much me, but it's our circle of people that are going to be referred to as making this
space better. And that's what I really do believe. Other than that, I love what I have
learned from people around the country. I was ignorant. I think I've said this in many spaces.
You know, when you watch mainstream media, you only see what they want you to see from other
countries around the world. So for example, Africa, I thought was just all like Ethiopia.
Nobody had food. Well, guess what? That's not true. And being involved in
crypto and meeting people from all over the world and asking them, which I do once I get fairly
close with somebody, you know, even before the election, I was asking people, okay, you're in
this country. What is your opinion on our candidates? It really helps understand how people see us when we take the initiatives to ask why.
And I love that about this space.
I love the amazing people that I've met in here.
Empress, you know, I needed you once.
You were right there on the phone and we talked for over an hour.
There's people in this space that have become my rock.
You know, many of us know what I've gone
through and the other cool thing is who would have ever thought that being in a crypto community
would give me the voice to educate about sex trafficking who would have ever thought that
crypto sex trafficking it's like really but when I gain a new follower and a new follower and a new
follower I say to myself at the end of the day, okay, maybe one of these new followers is going to message me and say, how can I help? And after the last space that we did where I just mentioned that I advocate against sex trafficking, two people from this space shot me a message wanting to know of good people they can follow, how they can get involved.
they can follow, how they can get involved. So for us coming into a space that is changing the world
and changing how finance is going to be, but for us to be able to use that platform,
to be able to spread awareness and educate about the things that matter to us, like I've said
before, I don't care if it's sex trafficking, you know, animal rights, veterans rights, homeless rights, whatever we believe in, use that platform.
So that's what I think the coolest thing about crypto has been to me is all the positive, all the positive things that we can do as long as we stay motivated.
And Empress, exactly what you said. And I actually had a boyfriend like this once. He was always content.
you said, and I actually had a boyfriend like this once. He was always content. He'd get a
couple extra hours at work or a little bit of a raise and it's okay. And then he'd sit back and
do nothing. It's like, to me, we should always want to learn more. No matter what we know today,
no matter how much money we make today, shouldn't we always want to strive for more?
Like that, that's how I feel. So that's what crypto in these spaces
have done for me. But you're also speaking as somebody who wants to make an impact, someone
who cares about other people, somebody who wants to take responsibility for your actions. And as a
wise person just told me a little while ago, it is elite to take responsibility for your own actions.
But with that elite kind of behavior comes self-custody
and true freedom and financial liberty. Amen to you. I can't tell who the fuck you are right now
because my ex is glitching. I need to know who you are so I can follow you. I'm actually about
to shoot you a follow. I'm Rudy Moon, which I'm thinking about changing that because now that I'm
not, who's in this space? Now that I'm not in safe moon anymore, there's really no point in me having moon after my name, especially with the trial coming up.
So I don't know. We might just switch my name back.
You'll be one of the people included.
Oh, God. Thanks for the space, everyone.
No, thank you, Rudy. And obviously, like, I have seen your progress, like, from how you started in crypto, how
you wanted to grow in this space, and you're doing it.
So I'm really proud of you.
And sometimes people just need to, I always say, like, we sometimes have to find ourselves
in order for us to understand what's going on in order for us to help others.
And I think, like, that process that you had to go through, now you're like You're a different dynamic of who you are your confidence is up there. I mean everything girl
I am just proud of you and this is what I like doing this spaces because I also like connecting other people
You know, everybody should be following each other here in the panel
Like this is kind of like my fam, you know, we talk about real shit We talk we laugh we cry we we vent
um, I tell how how much pablo neglects me
Um, it's like a brother. I never had, you know
So I love the punches sometimes because I sometimes need it, you know
And if you're not having fun while you're doing your job, then you're doing it wrong
like for me, I love connecting with people, but also connect with them and have a joyful conversation
and also laugh with them.
Like, hey, you know, life is not that bad.
I do want to give the mic to my girl, Margie B.
What's up, girl?
How are you doing today?
Hey, guys.
Happy Thursday.
And I'm not going to come in spicy.
I'm going to be nice.
I was sitting on the floor.
Wait, who are you and what did you do with Margie?
I'm an artificial intelligence person that is subbing for Margie because she's outside, sitting on the steps, getting the sunshine in her birthday suit.
Don't tell nobody.
Well, I was, I actually had to come into my daughter's house because I've been, I'm sort of like house sitting and I was sitting in her steps, enjoying the sun and the intern
and me, we were in the DMs talking, the toilet intern. And I was just listening to all the
amazing things that everyone was saying. Shout out to the host, co-host, the speakers.
Crypto adventures.
And what's the coolest thing crypto has done for me?
Well, I've gone on so many adventures.
Just like the Dr. Seuss book, The Places Will Go.
I've gone on so many adventures.
And I'm thankful because I wouldn't have gone on any of them if it hadn't been for the crypto family.
You know, we all like, Empress just said,
we laugh, we cry. You know, the best thing is when you click with people better than you do
with your actual family, and they can just talk about a party they went to, a function, just
something, and they make us laugh. I am so thankful because I was originally working remotely from my
house a year ago while I'm still working remotely, but I was lonely for, you know, I'm s thankful because I was originally working remotely from my house a year ago while I'm still working remotely.
But I was lonely for, you know, I'm sassy.
I'm spicy.
Everybody knows who Margie B is.
But I needed to, like, find people that could deal with this space because I wasn't going into the streets to, you know, talk to strangers.
And I go to sleep at night with my face hurting me as if though I blew balloons up balloons guys
balloons and I wake up and I wake up in the morning with a freaking smile in my face
and I am so thankful because you who would have thought you know I would click with so many
awesome people from so many different projects and communities with different time zones around the world.
And we never have a problem.
And I am so thankful for everyone that's here.
I want to shout out the G5 community, the Losties, West Coast Hub, the Quirkies, and the Uncanny.
And, of course, Slick Rick, it's been an honor knowing you.
And, Krypto, am I allowed to say something about the toilet?
Sure, go for it.
Okay.
Well, in the jumbotron, it's talking about toilets is on fire.
Well, toilets is never on fire.
What's on fire is our booty.
And I want to let people know that, you know, you guys, your best friend is your toilet.
You take the toilet for granted.
Because a lot of you guys don't go to church. The only time you say, Oh my God,
Jesus helped me is when you're sitting on the toilet or when you're walking in through the door and you think you're not going to make it to the toilet. And the last thing I leave you with
is like, Hey guys, it's all about the drain and the pipes. No trouble. It's all about that toilet seat and the flush.
No trouble.
We're bringing toilets back.
Don't take your toilets for granted.
Let's make America great again and let's flush that toilet with that gold dust.
I love you, Margie B.
Oh, my God.
I love her.
Toilet, toilet to the moon, please.
Just a reminder, we are doing a giveaway.
We are going to give $25 to four lucky winners today.
Make sure you also follow Liz.
I know a lot of you guys already are, but excuse me.
Don't be getting sick on this, Empress.
Get your wellness shot.
I did.
I just took a ginger shot and it
went the other way but anyways it was spicy you know margie b brought the spiciness i love it
um thank you so much for being you margie wait but that was margie b not being spicy yes yeah
so imagine what happened yeah which that's tame yeah that's very very i had
to come you know you know i gotta give you guys dosages you know like uh i mean i know it's
thirsty thursday but maybe later tonight if there's another space margie be'll spice it up
and make you oh come ah margie are you coming to the toilet space today in like an hour and 15 minutes?
I really hope you're there because we need you in the toilet space to tell everyone to flush their damn toilets.
I can make it.
The toilet is my best friend.
That's where I get my best friend.
And Empress, am I the only one who thinks Margie?
Margie reminds me of mama.
Don't you agree?
Wait, what mama? Our mama mama ox mama oh no no no you don't think so no way oh my god i think they do have you listened
to her speak mama not lately no they're they're they're um they're spiciness the things no mama's a savage
like she has like no she's darker like right liz she's dark yeah i think they both say what's on
their mind but mama's just like she comes out of left field like super crazy things but i love her
too and this is what i mean i have this is my family and my family is dysfunctional and I am dysfunctional as well
So this is why the vibe is always up there man taco tuesday
Uh the empire hub. I mean we just bring it if you guys are looking for another spicy
Freaking space go to taco tuesday. I mean it gets wild. And Pina gets wild there.
I don't know.
He's being also content right now.
But he's normally like...
Wait, wait, whoa.
Why is my name like the first one that gets thrown into the Taco Tuesday space?
What?
Crypto, he's only being polite because he fed his face.
If he was hungry and thirsty, he would be
really, like, riled up.
But he already swallowed and gobbled, so he good.
Oh, my gosh.
We threw you in the tortilla like some
carne asada, bro. Taco Tuesday.
I mean, when I
get the rooster
salsa going down,
it brings the spice. It brings the
kick. I'll say that much. Going down, going down.
How down are we going, baby?
Oh, my gosh.
All the way down the fucking toilet, baby.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, I'm not even answering this.
You guys just talk amongst yourselves.
All right, all right.
Let me revise this.
Let me settle this space.
I mean, we still have a couple more people coming up.
I do want to give the mic to K-Bot.
Welcome to the Empire Hub.
How are you?
These people, I need them to behave.
How is your day going so far?
Happy May 1st, all you beautiful people.
Yo, you guys know it's May 1st, and people are protesting all over the country,
and you guys are having too much fun up in here. You're going to bring out my sauciness.
I'm trying to be a professional.
Hey, what's happening? Who's protesting?
Yo, what's happening?
That's what I want to know.
Come on now. None of you guys are in Los Angeles. They're protesting in Chicago, LA
about workers' rights. It's May the 1st. Think of the miles coming up. But you know what? Let me just
say, I wish many of these protests that are happening had you guys there speaking on behalf
of data sovereignty and wealth equality and digital assets and crypto and Web3, because
as much fun and beautiful everyone here is, there are some serious things happening out there with people not understanding the space.
And fear is causing a rift.
They need some type of influence or celebrity or institution to give them the permission to even think about self-custody or data sovereignty and all these things that we've been working on and knowing about.
So we're privileged in a way. And, you you know i think it goes over some people's heads but hey you know you guys
are having fun and i love it and you know uh just keep going i'm not going to bring it down too far
so you just you know as you were toilets and and sauciness and whatever the hell else you guys do this Thursday, have a drink, some tequila.
My hispanos espritito.
Okay.
All right.
So, you know, I'll come back next time and say something a little more serious.
No, no, no.
I do want to ask you this question before you leave.
What's the coolest thing that crypto has done for you so far?
Do you have any stories you would like to share?
Oh, my God. listen, for real,
what crypto has done for me is open up my brain to financial literacy.
Okay, if that alone is enough for me to be hella bullish,
but for some reason, if you say crypto, NFT,
and even sometimes you say blockchain and Bitcoin.
People get triggered.
And I think that's by design.
So these legacy financial structures can come in like BlackRock and just suck up all the juice and air and liquidity and value out of the space.
And then once they get something convenient, they're going to turn crypto into McDonald's or 7-eleven and and get all those fees that they get and we can't have that so that's
why you know i gotta get my serious side but crypto has opened my eyes up to financial literacy
digital community digital assets self-custody data sovereignty um and much more. And it's also lifted me out of the chains and slavery of Web 2
and Web 1 and Web 0 and the banks. So yeah, it's done a lot for me, but it's hard to tell people
that because they get mad at you. We're so far ahead, it goes over people's heads. So what are
you going to do? All right. Thanks for asking. No, thank you for sharing. And those are so many
great points about financial freedom. I mean,
that is financial freedom, having control of your own, you know, even your banking,
making sure that you have your own money. You are the person that, you know, something in school
that I never, I mean, I never learned anything about financial, you know, like, hey, guys,
when you guys grow up, make sure that, you know, you don't get yourself in debt, you know like hey guys um when you guys grow up make sure that you know you don't
get yourself in debt you know and i think they treat it as a business like everybody has debt
you know and you have to kind of figure out another way it's like we're literally slaves
in web 2 when it comes to working from 9 to 5 and for me it's it's very powerful to say that crypto has changed my life in the sense where
i have financial freedom in different ways not saying richness but i get to do what i want and
i get to do what i love and to me just doing space is connecting people bonding with people
sharing experience making jokes i mean this for me I mean if people
say hey what do you do for work this is what I do for work I love doing this and I love spending
one hour two hours with you guys daily or whenever I see my friends hosting spaces go support and if
I can I'll leave a comment you know the basic. And I hope all of you guys are retweeting and liking the space because I do appreciate all the love and support.
Obviously, we are here every Thursday at 12 p.m. PST.
We bring different concepts and content topics.
And I just I just love that, you know, for us to kind of learn from one another.
And hey, why not? Like experience, knowledge, people's they might have something we don't have.
But how can we get involved, you know? So that's the power of spaces and why I keep telling people keep connecting, keep going.
If you vibe with someone or you like somebody that spoke today, follow them. Send them a message. You never know what could be the outcome. So for sure. What's up, K-Bot? The tokenization of real world assets and fractionalized ownership and decentralized finance are at their beginnings.
And I want to buy a house without a bank.
I know that sounds crazy, but it's something to consider, something that is possible.
So everyone, you know, of course, we're going to stay centralized, but there is a new era of financial utility on its way. It's decentralized
finance and fractalized ownership, where if all of us right now want to put in 500 bucks a piece
and go buy some property, that's coming. So think hard about that, everyone. And I want to land
right there. Thank you. And I'm sorry, my ex is glitching and I want to follow you, whoever you
are. And then I want to take Margie's advice and send you a DM because I think you're awesome.
So who are you?
I'm K-Bop Christopher Webster, blockchain strategist, digital assets manager, and a metaverse real estate broker.
And I also work at a family wealth management company trying to onboard them into blockchain.
And it's very hard.
I appreciate that.
I just wanted your username because I still can't find your username, bro.
I just want to find you.
If you go to the people icon too in the space, you can search someone by their name.
I also send it to you, babe.
I send you a DM with his profile.
I don't know.
X is just crazy.
Either it's working or it's not or it glitches.
Like the computer literally broke down and I had my phone
thankfully I just kind of got a little second warning you know I'm like all right I give up I
I do my best but you know it is the phone right now and you know x is gonna do his thing until
Elon Musk figures his shit out man I've been having trouble with my soundboard and all that stuff. I have to do different kind of
things now. And I'm like, why can it just be simple? Life should be simple.
So. How dare you request such, such stuff from the richest man in the world?
Yeah. I mean, I paid money to be here. You act like he has money to fix this shit. Like,
what's wrong with people? You know, the man
is... Yeah. The man is...
How dare we think that way?
How dare we think that way?
You think he just has billions
to spare to fix your
ex-spaces?
Come on.
And that whole thing where it says people,
it doesn't say that unless you're, like, hooked into the
desktop. Like, I'm on my freaking phone right now.
Yeah, I am too.
I'm on my phone.
What the fuck is wrong with X?
At least I have you now.
Yay.
It's crazy, huh, Pablo?
He can freaking launch a freaking thing into the sky, but he can't fix this shit.
It's crazy.
The way I see it is down there is K-Bot.
Think about like Xbox, but with a K, a B-O, and a T.
Nothing like that.
No, I got him now.
Like, we're fine.
It's just like, I know I'm bitching too much, but it's just like, obviously, Empress brings a whole lot of value.
But it's not just because she brings a lot of value.
She brings a lot of value by the people that also bring her value.
And that's everybody in here.
And so when X is glitching the fuck out and I can't even find who it is and the people,
it's like, no, I need that value in my life.
So I'm not going to be fucking silent about that shit.
It's kind of not my vibe.
I love it.
I love it. Oh my god.
I love it.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so we do have four more minutes to go, guys.
Okay, so we do have four more minutes
to go, guys.
I did promise myself to give myself
a day
to go to the sauna. Yes, Pablo,
I am going to take a day off.
He always says
every day, you're always off.
Again?
Yes, I do work, okay?
Before you close it down,
can I have about 30 seconds to just say something about you?
Absolutely. Go for it. Okay. For anybody in this space that's newer, we are out there a lot,
you know, condemning Kohl's, condemning influencers, you know, and those bad words.
There's good ones out there. I have been in so many of Empress and Lissa's spaces lately,
where they're not even really
talking about individual projects. Yes, they have spaces for those projects, but you don't often
find people like them who will take hours out of their schedule to open these spaces just to be
there for people like us. And I think it's really important that people in these spaces and who do spaces start educating people
on the true people to follow and to go to for education and to learn. Because there's a lot
of people out there that aren't here for us. And the two people hosting this space right now
are here for us. They're not in this for them. So please, if people are newer and they're looking
for information, they want to know the best way to move forward in crypto. These two ladies up
here hosting this space are probably two of the best that you can go to and make sure you are
following reputable people for your information because too many people are just out there to
use us for exit liquidity. So that's all I wanted to say.
Sorry.
Why are you sorry for telling people to get educated with people that are good influencers?
That was lovely.
That was amazing.
Nothing to be sorry about.
Empress has to close in two minutes.
So I'm going to be quiet.
I mean, I say two minutes, but it's not right on the dot.
You know, like I love listening
to speeches that you do or people talk from their heart. You know, I'm not here to say,
hey guys, um, whoever says this, and this is another thing. When you go to spaces and they
claim to be all this bullshit, I already see a red flag. Like literally, I don't think Liz or I
ever kind of put ourselves in that position where
oh well we're here to we're women empowerment and i'm trying to change and i'm doing blah blah
all i hear is me me me me me me me me me so for me personally i like to kind of connect people i
never talk about myself i uh liz does the same like we just like hey we want to help
how can we help the community how can we get involved uh what are you building you want
criticism we'll give it to you if you're ready for it um i i don't need to to prove myself of my work
or anything like that so i just give you guys the best recommendation and when you see people
saying all this bullshit and you look at their page and you're like okay so i just give you guys the best recommendation and when you see people saying
all this bullshit and you look at their page and you're like okay so what have you done what have
you accomplished give me data that you claim to be this person and then we'll talk um when i talk
about my pink ladies that was literally my beginning i am so proud because i actually got it
done i have proof i have how much money I have donated I mean
my my picture and delta was in the freaking website to me that was a big accomplishment
and I when people talk about me I'm like don't talk about I do it I don't want a post or anything
I do it from my heart I'm humble that way I don't need recognition because I'm a great believer when you do things from your heart,
things will just come back, you know, like you don't need a fucking trophy.
You don't need like to be called like, oh yeah, I'm doing this and I'm changing the world
of crypto.
And, but you're really not because, um, you're not embracing everybody.
You need to embrace people and kind of, uh, read through the pages before you make an assumption. I'm sorry. I'm that kind of person. I'm old school
talk to everybody until they give me a reason not to
Liz i'll pass the mic to you, but if you want to add anything else, but that's how I am
I'm old school call me old school, but
lie to me. I always say lie to me or talk behind my back
you are done in my life like I don't have to be around you that's not me I don't need that you
know but pass it to you Liz anything you want to add to that yeah what a great space this has been
it's been funny it's been serious just an conversation. That's part of the reason that I love this space so much. I wanted to just take
a minute to give Rudy her flowers because a lot of us know she's an incredible person here in this
space who often apologizes for saying just really nice things or really helpful things. And that's
something we're going to work on. We're going to work on that and try and switch that habit. But there's a lot that she's been doing. She's been, you know, changing.
I feel like talking more in spaces, sharing her story more, teaching people about ways to stay
safe. And I'm hoping that pretty soon she's also going to be utilizing some new tech to, you know,
make a hub for all of that incredible information. But I'm not going to
give away too much alpha. Just make sure that you're locked in following Rudy so you can see
all of the incredible things that she's going to be building in 2025. And we're super pumped about
it. I know I'm there to support it. Empress is there. And a lot of us just know what an incredible
person she is. So keep surrounding yourself with great people. You know, we're not even talking
about us. Like you mentioned, it's not about the eye in this space. It's about looking at other
amazing people, shouting out our friends, lifting them up, building them up. And that's the best
thing that we can do. Don't always focus on yourself. That's not going to work. You are not
going to make it. You know, you can't pour into everyone's cup, but just have that tight knit
circle of great people where you all pour into each other's cup.
And to me, that's really how you find that success and that happiness here in the space.
So I want to thank everyone that shared their story, people in the comments that couldn't come up and speak, but also drop some tidbits of knowledge.
You know, we love it.
The space is all about that.
You know, we talk about crypto, but more importantly, we talk about ourselves as humans and our journeys and we share.
So I hope you guys get as much out of this space as we do.
It's always a pleasure to be here.
Thank you, sis.
You're always an amazing co-host and everybody should be following her.
And you speak so much truth.
You know, for us, we definitely kind of work silently and let our work speak for itself
um a lot of you guys have interacted with me or liz and we keep it a hundred like the same person
you you speak behind the uh backstage is the same person in real life um and that should be always
the thing you know for me it's all about love, spreading that, you know, positivity and also live your dream and share your passion.
And I'll leave that with you guys.
