You know, I see her all the time everywhere I go, and even in my dreams, I can scheme her ways to make her mine.
Cause I know she's living fat.
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball.
So how am I gonna compete with that?
Cause when it comes to playing basketball, I'm always last to be with him in some places

This is CryptoFam Radio AMA panel Thursday, episode 35.
What is going on?
Good evening, good evening.
Can't say jam jam anymore.
I'm always used to doing spaces in the morning.
So this is my first evening space in a very, very long time.
So we'll see how this goes, man.
This is an experiment, right?
We try new things.
They work, they work.
If they don't, they don't.
We'll see how we do.
But yeah, if you guys haven't retweeted this space yet, tag a few friends, please do that right now.
We are streaming on X, also on the arena, and live streaming on Kik and on X as well, so you can see my face and my cats.
Actually, I was just dancing with my cat earlier to that tune.
I'm loving the vibes, loving the vibes, though.
Hopefully, you guys aren't all spaced out.
I appreciate all you guys for rocking up and supporting CryptoFam Radio.
Make sure you give everyone a follow in this space.
We're all grinding here, showing up and supporting.
I've seen a lot of great spaces today.
And hopefully, fingers crossed, spaces will continue to be better.
I heard earlier it was kind of in and out in a lot of spaces,
and spaces was down and up and all around.
And hopefully everyone can hear me okay and there's no delays at all.
And everything is all fixed up.
If not, I'm sorry, fam.
Hopefully I won't have to reboot this space too like many of you have during today.
But I think we're all good here.
So I am waiting on a few more people to pop up, especially my co-hosts.
I'm not sure what's up with my co-hosts.
I actually might just hire out a new co-host.
We got a bunch of speakers up here.
We got a giveaway fam.
Oh my gosh.
All right.
So I have all these posts up on the Jumbotron for you guys to take a look at.
We're going to do some quick updates right now for CryptoFam Radio.
And then after that, I've got a list of questions for our AMA panel.
So I'm super, super pumped for that. It's going to be a good time.
We have just so many great web3 communities in this space
and i thought why not bring at least three of them together uh do like uh almost a dating match or
like a game uh game type uh environment and where they all get a certain amount of minutes to answer
the questions because like i said i don't want to take up too much of your guys' time.
I don't like to do super long space.
I feel like they're a waste of time, in my opinion.
I try to keep mine short and sweet and to the point
so you guys get something out of it if it's educational, inspirational,
or just a little old laugh, entertainment, right?
So I'm going to try to keep our spaces to two hours max.
We might go a little bit over, but, you know, I know people got to head to bed.
But wherever you're at in the world, I really, really appreciate you being here.
So, yeah, I've got all these streaming channels going on here.
We've got our three communities up here.
I just want to give a big shout-out to all three of them
who actually showed up and are attending.
Oh, my gosh, fam.
I know with mixed schedules and everything,
it's really hard to get a bunch of people together all at once,
but we are here and supporting.
So I just want to have a very, very warm welcome
to the Dragon Punks community.
It's our first up, Dragon Punks.
Thank you so much for being here.
We've got the Oysters community.

with today and getting to know a little bit more and i've got a list of questions but before we do

and your community is doing overall. And welcome to the stage.
Hi, thanks for having me how's it going how's your how's your day going
it's been great we had a beautiful sunny day here in northern california um so you know spring is
happening the the fruit trees are blooming and we definitely cannot don't have too much to
complain about you know markets are tough. Everyone's feeling the heat on that.
But we're over here steady building.
And yeah, quick update.
We got a little, just a short intro.
We have a token and an NFT project.
And we're also about to launch some merch.
And we got our trademark going.
And there's some more updates that I'll give whenever we uh hop into the ama but

little bit about the kosha launch pad as well.
Yeah, man.
Thank you for having us.
Beautiful.
Thank you so much, Pat.
I was expecting Joe's voice,
and I'm actually a little sad right now that Joe couldn't show up.
That's the wrong emoji.
Anyway.
Hopefully he comes through.
I texted him.
Hopefully he shows up.
I shot him a text.
Hopefully he'll come up here on his account.
Yeah, that would be great.
But it's good to have you too, Pat.
I'm not discounting you in any way, shape, or form.
I'm sure you will provide an amazing experience, just like Joe.
So I'm excited to get to learn more about the oyster community
and what you guys are all about.
And thank you so much for that short introduction, oysters and Pat.
And then Dragon Punks, he gave me a short dm saying
he may not be here immediately but i just wanted to check in with him real quick real quick and uh
i'm here now oh perfect perfect perfect you want to do a short introduction real quick before we
get into ama sir sure um we're i'm we're dragon punk uh we're a collection of 3,333 dragons currently minting on Blevr on the abstract blockchain.
We just actually hit 50% minted out today, so that was a huge milestone for us.
We've had a couple hurdles with people being able to figure out abstract, but it is slowly but surely getting there.
We're just building in the background right now.
Obviously, we're waiting for Mint to come to an end before we get to the really good stuff.
But we're here for long term, as you guys have all seen in other spaces.
And we're ready to light this fire, baby.
Awesome.
Thank you so much for that short intro, Dragon Punks. But yeah, welcome, welcome to the space. Welcome, everyone.
I just wanted to remind everyone we will be doing a space giveaway,
and that's actually up in the Jumbotron.
Before we get started, I want to give you guys a few quick updates here with CryptoFam Radio.
So we are doing a space giveaway alert.
The instructions are up there but just to reiterate
you must be following crypto fam radio quack life dragon punks nft and the souk the oyster community
and then you're gonna like and retweet and tag three friends winners will be announced at the
end of the space that means you have to be in the space so we can give you your prize. And we've got some pretty amazing giveaways.
I was talking to Quack Life.
She's got some NFTs.
I possibly have some Crow.
And then I don't know about the other two communities.
If they want to do any small giveaways, I'm not going to push them.
But if they want to, they can.
But yeah, I want to get started, fam, if we can.
So yeah, I've got a list of questions.
How this AMA panel is going to work is I'm going to ask a question.
I'm going to give each community about six minutes to answer.
And I think that's enough time to get through.
And I will set the timer the last minute.
I'll put my hand up so you kind of know. Let's see if I can get my hand up. Hey, there we go. Awesome to give you. So everyone has enough time.
I know a lot of us can be long winded in the space and this is to kind of help with the monologuing.
I wanted more of a discussion. And so we're going to give this a go. And then Arcadian,
discussion and so uh we're gonna give this a go and then arcadian if you have anything you want
to follow up after they answer before i ask my next question that's your time as well
and if not if you're silent then i'm just gonna go to the next question is that okay is that cool
arcadian yo you got a hundred by me buddy. Perfect. I know we didn't really practice this beforehand.
So I just want to make sure all the rules are clear, guys.
And yeah, we will be doing a quick Q&A time from the audience the last 15, 20 minutes of this space to give the audience a chance to ask their questions about these amazing Web3 communities in the space.
So I just want to let you know that's what's going on.
And then we're going to get right into it, fam.
So the first question, and I think how we're going to start
is since DragonPunks is to my right, we'll start with them.
And then I'm going to start the timer after I ask the question. And then after Dragon Punks finishes, then I can repeat the question, Pat, or you can just pick it up. If you remember the question, I can repeat the question. It's not that big of a deal, but it's going to be the same question for every single person, if that makes sense. Right. So. All right, guys. So question number one, I want you to describe your Web3 community to an absolute
stranger. How would you describe it to just a random Joe walking down the street? If they asked
you, you know, what are you about? What is your what you know what is web 3 first off and then
what you know what makes your uh community so special if you were describing to an absolute
stranger go dragon punks starting the timer so if i was going to describe our community what
makes it special to a stranger i would say it's about family it's about being grounded it's about
being transparent um honesty we we don't want any fake people in our community.
We don't want any scammers in our community.
We're all about that, being transparent.
We're not a DAO, but we operate similar to a DAO.
If you're not familiar with a DAO, the community helps make the rules.
I don't want to get people to think that we're a Dow, but, you know, we're all about having that building
sense from our community. We want people to feel like they're part of the family, feel included
in decisions. We're going to be building another game here soon, and we're going to get the
community's whole perspective on what they want
to see we already have one out but we want to we're going to build another one and we want we
want to see what they want us to build it's just like a giant family like come on in and you know
it will help each other through the hard times help lift each other up through the bad and
we'll help all we'll all celebrate during the highs um
as far as what is web 3 uh that's really hard to even explain to anybody that has no idea what it
is um i would say if you if you don't have if you haven't done your research on it don't ape in do
your research first um if when i'm showing people uh like what i do in crypto and the past projects i've worked on and
things um i start very simple but very simple i say this is how you buy ethereum or this is how
you buy a bitcoin we start at the roots we start on an exchange um then later you know it progresses
and we move them into like a metamask wallet and then we show them around the metamask wallet
and then we show them what a bridge is um you just got to take baby steps with people. I'm not going to explain to some normie
off the street how to do crypto. I've tried to do that in the past. It just doesn't work. It's
just not realistic. So you just kind of got to start in baby steps. I've taught a 55-year-old
woman before how to use Coinbase and bridge to different chains,
and it's a success. She does it all the time now. She's all balls deep in NFTs. It's pretty
funny to see. I was like, I did that. And as far as the whole crypto space, I would say,
just be careful out there. Don't be aping in, like I said, don't be aping into random stuff.
I mean, you're not going to, I'm not going to be, I've, I've lost money in the past. I've made mistakes. So I'm not, I'm not going to tell anybody what to do. You have to have education.
You need to learn properly. But, um, as far as what drives makes Dragon Punk special, um,
we're, we're, I think we're unique in a sense that we, you know, we are kind of more rebellious.
We don't follow the trends. We don't care about what, you know, we are kind of more rebellious. We don't follow the trends.
We don't care about what, you know, the Coles say about us.
We're not paying Coles to shill our project.
We're, you know, we're doing what we do on our terms.
And we have a motto.
It's live free and embrace.
Our second motto is embrace the chaos because life will always throw chaos at you.
Perfect.
You had about two minutes left.
But, yeah, that works for me, Arcadian.
No comment, Arcadian?
All right.
All good.
Oyster, do you need me to repeat the question?
Or do you have it?
No, no.
I think I got it.
I mean, if I...
Two for it.
Yeah, thanks.
I mean, if I...
Yeah, I'll take it.
If I was taking this to pitch it to somebody
that didn't know anything about crypto,
I mean, first of all,
that's obviously a tough ask as he was saying.
But the thing about the oysters
is we do kind of have something for everybody.
Like if you're not a crypto-centric person,
if you're just somebody that perhaps your perhaps your your mom we've tried to
make it as easy as being able to pitch it to your grandmother we have it so we've
actually partnered with some some pretty big companies in the United States we
have a conglomerate called active and fit which planet fitness gold's gym LA
fitness and a couple other gym chains fall under.
And the way I'd pitch it is, if you're looking for a collectible that's kind of like a Costco
card, right? Because anybody would know what a Costco card is that you can hold in your wallet.
I'd probably try to explain to them first what a phantom or an NFT wallet is in general,
a MetaMask or something like that. And then,
you know, show them maybe potentially some of my NFTs or my little pieces of art and explain to
them what they do and then go into the benefits of holding an oyster. And one is that you get that
active and fit membership. So basically what that does is you're able to basically scan in with a
QR code to any of those gyms that I mentioned for $28 a month.
If you're an avid gym goer or a traveler, it's really convenient because you may be
traveling for work or your gym that you pay for every month isn't in the area.
It's also really cool if you live in an area with a lot of gyms and you don't like to just
frequent one. Maybe you want to go to LA Fitness where they have basketball courts, for example, and they don't have those at a Gold's gym.
You know, with Active and Fit and owning an Oyster, you're able to use your QR code to scan
into literally any of those gyms for $28 a month, which is a pretty ridiculous price considering
that a lot of these gyms nowadays are $75, $100 a month and can get you with some of those little contracts, you know, those annoying fees.
You know, aside from that, we partnered with Hyatt Hotels, Wyndham Hotels.
I know Joe was in talks with a gym chain in Nigeria as well to try to get some more international stuff.
We want to get some stuff in Southeast Asia to appeal to some of those people in our community.
One other thing that I've been really big on is our Expedia partnership. So what we did was we actually went out and while we
couldn't get a direct partnership with the travel aggregator Expedia, we were able to get a travel
agent. Joe knows more about the exact ins and outs of this, but owning an oyster will actually
give you access to that travel agent, which it's not AI or
anything like that.
It is a legit travel agent from Expedia, and you will be getting, I think it's 10 or 12%
discount or something like that, potentially only on the first.
I'm not sure if it's the first or if it's running.
That's something that I would have to double check on, but that's basically the way that
I would try to pitch it to a total normie is, you know, despite the tech, despite the art, all of the other things that are behind,
you know, the Oyster Club, look at our collectible as kind of like a Costco card that you can hold
in a digital wallet that you can use to save money and, you know, live better, live, you know,
kind of a life of what we've, you know, fitness, mental health have been important for us.
Trying to encourage everybody in our community to really just get out and touch grass and live well.
Because being here, showing up every day, collecting NFTs, trading meme coins, going through the ups and downs of these markets is really tough.
It's really hard if you're not mentally well.
And something that a lot of normal folks can really resonate with is traveling in the gym and things like that.
So I know we'll get into a lot of the other more technical stuff later about the collection.
But that's really what I'd lead with if describing it to a total noob.
I love it, Oyster.
Thank you so much.
Quack Life, do you need me to repeat the question or you got it?
No, I think I got it.
Yeah, so describing our Web3 community to an absolute stranger.
Hopefully they have a little bit of knowledge about crypto.
That'd be a good place to start.
But we have a token bit of knowledge about crypto. That'd be a good place to start.
But we have a token system that rewards our holders.
We also have digital art assets or NFTs that are going to be backed by RWAs.
Our community really centered around that art and expression and a place to create with each other and to find other people who are in similar
mindsets and support each other in our creativity and as well as our financial freedom, you know,
creating those reward systems that will provide passive income to our believers and our holders
for many years. Just, yeah, just bringing people together around art and music and education healing and playfulness
you know reminding people to to find that inner child and express their quacky self you know and
quack loud and quack proud and and just be different and stand out and do better um you know
we see a lot of solana you know being a really extractive um system recently, you know, being a really extractive system recently, people, you know, using and abusing it and really, you know, making a lot of money for themselves and not supporting those that, you know pay for things like accommodations and music tickets and education and you know through crypto and really kind of
bringing it back full circle to that and yeah just yeah I think you that's
that's a pretty good start
beautiful yeah you guys are all under maybe I should just like do five
minutes not six minutes
feel like it's too long all right uh i want to welcome uh the co-host here we have another
coast big man x to the stage big man x how are you feeling tonight i noticed you ran a little
bit late but it's all good i'm glad you are here my man how are you feeling tonight? Not too bad. Not too bad. Sorry about that.

enjoy everyone's space is actually here and supporting everyone. So thank you so much, Big Man X, for pulling up and co-hosting today's AMA panel.
So anyway, not to digress, fam, let's get back to the questions.
And I just realized, fam, all my questions are kind of scattered about.
I didn't really like, I should have organized them a bit better.
Because my next question is, share your inspiration behind your project how did it get started i know this is the one i should have
asked first sorry guys i get way too excited so anyway uh we'll start with dragon punks uh yeah
you've got you know what we'll do five minutes we'll see how this goes all right dragon punks take it away i talk i talk fast sorry um
our our inspiration for dragon punks came from our from our kids i mean we're we look at them
and we you know they have that little dragon energy in them that is like their menaces to society
and like i'm pretty sure i was like that when i was a kid and same with our artist primal dark i
mean he his kids are a big inspiration as well um
everything in the collection you know ranges from pretty clean to just you know really really
morphed and crazy looking um i think there's something for everybody and everybody can kind
of find a dragon that they resonate with um we we wanted it we wanted it to be like like kind of
like a mirror image of yourself just find something that you're comfortable with. I mean, I personally come from all kinds of different walks of life.
So I resonate kind of with the really crazy dragons.
But all in all, the inspiration, you know, was definitely came from life experiences.
And mainly our children, like, you know, the kind of like, they have that kind of like a little bit of a, like, more like, like, I guess-aged like younger look like somebody like like in their college years something like that um we do have
an evolution coming later down the line where you're going to get it more adult like more
kind of crazy insane or looking dragon where it comes with our rune drop you might notice some of
the dragons have runes above their head the real norse runes that we did a lot of research on and they hold a hold a different they all hold like a different uh type of power so hopefully
we didn't unlock some crazy space time continuing thing when we were doing this but we did some
pretty crazy research research in that but yeah that's really where the uh the creative uh aspect
of all this stems from was just kind of like our our walks of life
what we've been through and mainly like our our kids are a major you know a major major uh
influence on that as well um some of them are cyborgs um you know with our our love for all
the tech we wanted to kind of you you know, add that as well.
My favorite of all is the magma skin dragons.
There's a purple magma skin, a red magma skin, a teal magma skin dragon.
They're all fairly rare in the collection.
That kind of stemmed from just like kind of psychedelic colors.
I'm originally from, you know, from Denver, Colorado, and there's a lot of really,
really crazy street art. So I've always been, you know, for the last like 15, 18 years, I've been
walking around Denver, like, you know, getting baked, like checking out all the street art,
because it's super sick. So I highly recommend that. If you ever go visit Denver, go check out
the Rhino District. But, you know, just those super vibrant colors we wanted to add, too, that kind of pop.
I don't really see much, like, as far as, like, what is on abstract so far.
I don't know if there's a collection that uses this type of color patterns yet.
So, really hoping when trading goes live that people are like, oh, what's this?
And, you know, they come check us out.
Awesome.
Thank you so much, Dragon Punks.
Oysters, you're up.
Cool, yeah.
I guess I'll kind of tackle this question from like two angles.
So really the way that the Oyster Club started was with the Discord channel initially.
Joe's actually the one who got me into crypto.
Myself and the three other guys, myself, Joe, and the two other guys who are part of our LLC, which is Kosha Creations.
We have our launchpad, which we're actually launching the oysters on, which is down there in the audience as well as in the oysters bio.
Kosha.lol is that product, which falls under the
Kosher Creations umbrella, which is our LLC. So we actually had a Discord server in,
I think it was late 2020, where we played a lot of markets. I wasn't really into crypto yet until
early 2021. Joe got me onto crypto just in time for a lot of the big runs, caught a lot of nice gains there
and was just into it instantly.
You know, we had a lot of guys talking about markets across the board and that Discord
server initially or eventually evolved into kind of a coalition effort of like a lot of
people who are playing longer term stocks, calls, options, volume, penny stocks, cryptos, metaverse, NFTs, everything.
We had different sections of it, which has kind of become the meta of a lot of these
trading discords and cryptos and things like that.
We actually had, you know, there was a lot of cool artists in there.
We got into a lot of different NFT projects.
So we decided to create our own project.
And, you know, that brought us to what we were going to do with the character.
We had one artist in there who we went to school with and then we actually found another who worked for Nickelodeon for about 20 years of his professional career as an animator.
His name is Ryan Katam. His tag is at Nick Goons. It's a Nick Goons NFT on X.
He's at Nick Goons.
It's a Nick Goons NFT on X.
He's awesome.
He's done SpongeBob.
He did Looney Tunes, the remaster for HBO, a lot of different other projects as well.
You can find him on Wikipedia and stuff.
He's a big professional animator dude.
He's awesome, man.
I'd love to get him in one of these spaces sometime.
But yeah, we brought him and our other buddy who's more of a graphic designer together
to kind of create the branding and things like that for the character.
Since we're all from Maryland, we all went to school together, you know, around Washington, D.C., Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic.
You know, we eat a lot of seafood here.
You know, you hear about Maryland, crabs, Old Bay, oysters specifically.
And kind of the inspiration for it came kind of from what oysters do as an animal.
You know, they filter the, they eat the bad shit in the water, basically, and they filter out the
good water. And it's, you know, they've been plagued by overfishing and pollution and the
destruction of the environment across the board. And it's something that I really do personally
care about. I know Joe is really big on, He went to school for natural medicine for four years.
You know, reef restoration kind of,
and kind of our tagline, as you can see in our bio,
is 6,000 oysters filtering the Solana ecosystem.
Kind of then tying that into what kosha.lol does as a launchpad.
And with the organic rarity technology that we've built out,
our algorithms, I'll probably get into that in a different question.
But yeah, I mean, it was all one thing leads to another, you know, bringing together a
team, having a lot of capable people.
We didn't really think we were going to be building an NFT project.
And then to now think that, you know, we're launching our NFT project on our own launch
pad with the technology that evolved just from a one-off kind of project that we had started
up in in 2022 you know so it's been a long time coming um but i'm really excited for the future
of the project i think the oyster is a really really cool mascot especially for people who
grew up around the ocean who grew up around these uh different ecosystems who also you know uh kind
of come together around liking the seafood and things like that. So,
and we point left.
That's one cool thing about our NFT as well that I am super into is that we have a left facing NFT and a lot of really cool one-on-ones.
We have a lot of cool collabs across the board and really,
yeah,
that love for art,
you know,
love for the region and love for the community.
So yeah,
that's how we came together.
Love it.
Big Man X, you got your hand up, sir?
Yes. I just had a quick question for that. He mentioned their own launch pad and I just wanted
to clarify on that. Is it like actually going to be a launch pad that's going to be publicly
accessible or privately accessible maybe with other projects you've got out or is it like
your guys' own landing page with your own mint and stuff?
Yeah. So initially when we built out the project, it was actually right around the time of the SBF FTX scandal and the entire collapse in the market on Seoul.
You know, we had chose to build on Seoul and we had built basically our own personalized UI and landing page on our website, which is still live, suoc.io.
personalized UI and landing page on our website, which is still alive, suoc.io.
You know, that was going to, our initial plan was to launch the NFT project there and then
take the technology behind our one-off mint, our, you know, personal mint with the oysters,
and basically lease that technology out to other people. And kind of, you know, when we have a
really, we have a couple guys, one's in Japan, one's in Singapore, you know, it took a long time
with language barriers and things like that.
But my plan was let's try to get this technology in the hands of somebody like Magic Eden,
Tensor, et cetera, who might want to buy it off of us.
We might be able to get an exit from that.
That was kind of the plan initially.
And one thing led to another.
The market crashed.
We decided it was time off there.
I had worked on a lot of different projects in the meantime.
And, you know, we kind of came to the conclusion that the best thing to try to do would be to package it up and, you know, basically create our own pad where anybody can come and mint.
So now, if you see in our oysters bio there, it links you to the kosha.lol page.
The kosha.lol website is still under construction.
You can go on there and check it out. But there's a lot to the actual technology of the launch pad
that makes it really unique. But anybody's going to be able to use it. The oysters is the Genesis
collection, the very first, you know, kind of alpha, like pre-alpha test for the launch pad's
technology working. And, you know, organic rarity is something I could explain a little bit, maybe
for a different question or something like that but um
yeah you know the oysters the very first one and then we have a beta test
lined up with you know I think it's right now we have maybe six or seven
projects that are gonna be part of the beta phase that are gonna build under
the kochia.lol umbrella and then you know once everything kind of comes
together and we have that coalition effort of all of those projects using
our algorithm you know coming together as kind of a, yeah, like a coalition. We're going to open it up to
the public completely. And, you know, then eventually the goal is to compete with Magic
Eden, launch my NFT, Tensor, et cetera. I think that with our technology, we can do everything
they do and better. So, you know, I'm really excited for it. But yeah, I mean, it's a full launchpad.
Anybody's going to be able to get on there.
Solid.
That's awesome, man.
Yeah, you get a lot of people that throw the word launchpad around,
and it's just the landing page essentially, right?
So that's awesome to really hear, though.
What's up, Arcadian?
Want to follow up with that?
Yeah, no, I'm hearing some really good buzzwords.
I'm hearing some i'm hearing some really good buzzwords i'm hearing uh launchpad i'm i'm hearing
A lot of intel intellectual feedback i'm hearing a lot of work that has gone into this
Uh oysters i'm on your page. Well i'm on your profile right now and i'm looking at the infographic
Uh that shows you know how the workflow works on this
That shows, you know how the workflow works on this and
that's a really good sign for me because you know, I look at a lot of projects and I and I choose whether you know
Am I going to tell you know my friends am I gonna tell people about this?
But I'm seeing a lot of thought
Into this and I just want to ask you. Um
Right, I've got this question for for you right oysters even dragons uh quack if
i'd love for you to answer this let's say right let's say a million users have bought into you
today right what is there is there a reason for them to buy and hold up until and beyond 2030?
So is there a reason for them to buy and hold up until and beyond 2030
that could put them in a better financial position in the future as opposed to today?
That's my question.
Yeah, I mean, I guess I'll just, I'll keep this
one short because I know it's for everybody on the panel. Yeah, I mean, for us, like really,
the demand driver is the technology behind the Launchpad, right? The Oysters is a, you know,
it's an awesome NFT project. We have the utility that I explained with Active and Fit and the hotel
partnerships, Expedia, as well as we have some proprietary
trading bots as well. When you mint an oyster, you get access to our signals and a lot of other
things. Cool community in our Discord. We're almost 4,000 people strong in our Discord.
But what really does drive the demand is what the technology behind the launchpad does.
So yeah, I won't totally get into that right
now because I know we're gonna go to other people right after this but I'm
really like what we want to do long term right is you know the the tech behind it
you know it's about thinking innovatively out of the box and creating
new layers of demand right so you know what it does is it organically
determines the rarity for the collectibles and it puts the power to do that in the minter's hands.
So what you were looking at there with the landing page, that's like a very early prototype that was on our own website.
That kind of concept of that UI is going to be built into the actual launchpad where anybody can go and upload their attributes, and then you could build your character.
go and upload their attributes,
and then you could build your character.
You know, the long-term vision is to, you know,
after the beta test and opening it up to the public,
start building in 3D modeling,
and eventually, perhaps,
I know Joe would probably get mad at me for saying this,
but, you know, eventually build out a marketplace.
You know, we, there's a lot,
we have something called MetaView Plus.
We're offering full transparency,
so everybody can, or Minters,
can see all of the parameters that the deployers, you know, are able to seamlessly upload their collections.
And then the minters will be able to see everything that they've done, everything that they've set in terms of pricing, in terms of whitelists.
I'd like to eventually get all of that onto an app where you can see all of the collections that have minted under kosher.lol, you know, on that app and manage your whitelists there, manage your NFTs there, maybe even your meme coins, you know, we've built in a mechanism where communities that have coins that are launching an NFT can mint at a discount with their coins, for example, mint with Sol, mint with Jupe.
mint with jupe. And eventually, I know Joe would get really mad at me for saying this,
but I'm going to say it anyway, is mint with credit or debit card that will auto-generate
you a wallet. And I think that that really, those thinking innovatively and out of the box
as a business is something that all projects should really try to do. And that's what's
going to provide you value long-term, right? Like what can you do to drive demand, to drive users
to your platform and to help create a more free market system than we currently exist in?
Because, you know, a lot of the problems with NFTs have been market manipulation.
So, yeah, I'll shut up for now and move it on to the next guys.
Awesome. Thank you so much, Oyster.
Quack Life. I know we kind of digressed there for a second, but it's okay.
To repeat the question, share your inspiration behind your project.
How did you get started?
Yeah.
So, you know, we had kind of watched this Solana ecosystem,
just like I mentioned before, be really extractive. And we saw a ton of money being made
and people just buying Lamborghinis and fancy things
and just pictures of their stacks of money.
And we just really wanted to do something better,
something better for the crypto community,
something better for the planet and for its people.
And so we saw lots
of false promises, people, you know, saying they were going to make NFTs or they were going to do
all these things. And then they just rug and they don't, you know, ever come through and they build
these communities on those false promises and lies. And so that was just, you know, really
something we wanted to fight back against. And so that's why we stepped
into this world at this time. And we wanted to, you know, build something that was sustainable
as well and something that could be long lasting and wasn't solely, you know, reliant on the chart
and tokenomics. And so we wanted to build a brand that could support itself as well. And so we've
developed all these systems these defi
ways um as well as some you know in real life merchant and the hub that's coming to help support
and feed into the brand and the community without having to be extracted um we also really wanted to
you know bring some type of meme with it and the quackiness of the ducks, you know, they're,
you know, it's all quacked out there. So you might as well be your quacky self and quack about it and
come quack out with us and, you know, really just create that, that quack life lifestyle,
you know, that experience people want to live and wear and share. And, you know, ducks are just
super playful and they're peaceful and they're calming. And, you know, ducks are just super playful and they're peaceful and they're
calming. And, you know, people go and they sit at the park and they watch and the ducks at the pond
and even the adults want to get in on the action to feed them and interact and, you know, take
pictures. And they're just really, really a great species. And I also grew up with ducks, you know, they were kind of iconic cartoons
in my time and, you know, really approachable by mainstream as well. Lots of people just love ducks
and so that was an added bonus. Part of the hub is also about creating wetland habitat for
conservation aspects and so supporting ducks and other species so that kind of helped tie
everything together and we definitely wanted to make sure we had those nfts at the start
as that base for our community to help bring people together over the art and have something
to share and you know relate on and get to know each other over and you know every everything can
be art and you know not everyone is able to to make art that's visual for people and you know every everything can be art and you know not everyone is able to to make
art that's visual for people and you know i think the ai aspect was really a cool thing for us to
help you know inspire us and and be able to get images from our brain down onto you know paper
or onto the computer so to speak and um you know, be able to really cultivate that
creativity in a way that maybe some people have struggled with, with a pen and paper or a paint
brush. And yeah, I think also like a space, you know, holding space for people to come together
who have similar dreams, similar visions, who want, you know, good things. And it's been
really great meeting some people like the Green Pill Collective in the space and people that are
up here on the speaker panel as well. And just finding, you know, similar folks like that. And
I do also want to touch on the question that was brought up as well about, you know, why should
somebody buy and hold past 2030? And,
you know, for us, like this is an ecosystem and we're really just getting started.
People are getting a chance, you know, to get in on this growing ecosystem and this brand
that has a deep and long-term vision, you know, these reward systems that'll provide for years
to come, the brand that's going to have the clothing, the merch, the in real life hub,
all these things that feed back into the system and provide those dividend type returns to help
support not only the company, but also the holders as well. And, you know, as we see crypto,
you know, taking over and really going to be a way of the future as far as payments and,
and, you know, a lot of lifestyle goes, we wanted a place in real life for people to be able to use that crypto.
And so the in real life hub I talk about is going to be powered by Solana.
We'll also accept some other cryptocurrencies as well, but, you know,
just giving people a chance to spend Solana on,
on real life tangible experiences and, property, you know?
And so, yeah, just really excited and, you know, still feeling inspired and meeting new
people like you guys.
It's been, yeah, just been really fabulous.
Awesome.
Thank you so much, Quack Life Arcadian.
Follow-up question?
Yeah, yeah, buddy.
Yeah, definitely. Look, hey, Quack Life, I've got to tell you, right? and follow-up question yeah yeah buddy yeah definitely um look a quack life i gotta tell
you right i'm leading straight towards the fact that every wednesday do laser by the way let's
just reset the room before i before i deliver the uh comment a question do laser is down in the
listener section he's the he's the funny guy with the laser eyes and a little red cap
okay give him a follow he's actually the founder of crypto fam radio every wednesday he's got a
women in web 3 space quack life i think you need to get in on that it gets a lot of attention it
gets a lot of viewers it gets a lot of listeners come into that one get your people to join in on that one, but there are a lot of listeners
They need to hear where you're going with this. You're one of the few women in web 3 that i'm hearing
That has passion behind what they're saying bring the oysters, um, bring the bring the dragon fam
I'm i'm guessing that you guys are all linked in some way shape or form
What you is also hiding, what CryptoFam is also hiding is the fact that one of our partners is currently attending a 40-day seminar at the SEC.
Right?
We're on day three of the SEC 40-day seminar.
We're looking into rwas we're looking into ways to tie
in at least 50 projects with rwa that we're making reservations for but in the meantime you know I'm
gonna say this I'm gonna say this as best I can don't fade on crypto fam radio get in especially
uh quack life the oyster
Dragon you guys are speaking the right kind of language for what is going to last
Uh what is going to law outlast
When regulation comes in to crypto when when regulation comes into blockchain
You've got a launch pad there oyster, right?
Um, i'm hearing how you want to empower people with low cost entry
to do what they need to do to create what they need to create on chain um but also that you know
you're kind of starting out and the amazing thing about people starting out is that they can pivot
they can pivot and create things they can listen to their community and they can
go to their dev teams and they can actually create the
function that is needed for those dev teams so all of those ones that have already made their money
they care less and i promise you this they care less about what we need to do and the ones that
are starting out care more about what we need to do. So Oysters, please, you know Make more contact and if there's anything I can tell you right
I'm just going to put out a little bit of advice and i'm going to ask a question
So a little bit of advice and i'm going to ask a question to oysters dragon life and quiet life
The advice is
Try to uh, you guys have an amazing message and I can hear the passion. I know where you're at but
Deliver a call to action that is so simple that my grandma can do it wait. All right
I'm a gen x let me let me say that my mom can do it because my grandma ain't here, right? Um
let me let me say that my mom can do it because my grandma ain't here right um deliver a call to
action that my mom can do and make it as super simple as possible hey step one uh go to this
website step two deposit some crypto into this wallet or join us on this platform or create your first token or mint your first nft or buy our token but
bring out a cta a call to action and make that up front and relevant and easy to do um and put that
in the jumbotron put that in this jumbo trumpet in every single jumbotron that you get into
right and then see if you can link up with do
with crypto fam radio so that we can get these you know this group of 50 uh nfts platforms
launch pads all together so that we can get you knitted into the rwa that we're talking to the sec
about um please do that and then i'm going to lead off with one question for all of you guys
Where do you see yourself?
In 12 months time if everything goes the way you want
Where do you see if i see yourself in 12 months time?
Let's let's hear that quack like the oyster dragon and big man if big man, please
I'm gonna do I hope you don't hate me for this
But i'm gonna ask big man to step't hate me for this but i'm gonna
ask big man to step in there and and do all the answers if they come back because i you know
i suck at this i'm terrible i'm not a radio host i'm here we go right where do you see yourself
12 months everything goes right big man will be the cfo of dragon enterprises and we will be
CFO of Dragon Enterprises and we will be like running the world.
Twelve months.
Twelve months from now I see us having our second game built and being Web3 compatible.
I see us launching a token.
I also see us being one of the first NFTs that is going to
actually be wrappable and you say you will be able to decide the value of your
own NFT I also see our merch store being pretty full frontal because we got some
pretty awesome merch our merch store went live this week which and we started
with a really with a bunch of like kind of basic
dragon punks designs but there's there's just so much we're gonna do with it so i'd see that being
being going absolutely batshit crazy um by by then but yeah that's that's about where i see
us in a year from now um i see the floor price at you know 500 east per dragon i'm just kidding
um but hopefully somewhere decent um but yeah decent. But yeah, that's really all
you can ask for is, I mean, we're all building in the trenches, right? So we just got to keep
that mentality and, you know, keep going and keep pushing through this. We're all going to get there.
The people building now are the people that are going to be successful in these runs because
this is where people quit and this is where people give up the people that are here are they're going to make it
as long as you can just keep grinding and keep pushing go for it oyster yeah uh i mean in 12
12 months from now i mean i either see uh kososhia Creations with a big seven or eight figure exit or taking a lot of the current market share from what Magic Eden has created.
And that's not a knock on Magic Eden at all.
I think that they've done really, really good things in the space. I just think that the way that we've built the technology behind Kosha,
we do every single thing that they do, except that we have that layer of organic rarity.
So, you know, if you want to go and upload your collection on there, obviously, like I've said,
you know, for deployers, seamless way that, you know, like you guys touched on on the co-host touched on you know to basically add that ease of creation for users and then also have
the mentors be able to come in and collect with peace of mind and you know
really like at the heart of that we're trying to stop you guys from we're
trying to stop the the users from being able to be dumped on because of the, you know, the organic rarity.
I think that's what's going to drive demand behind a lot of the collections that come in mint on our platform.
Obviously, with everything going right, 12 months from now, I'd see us, you know, with an app built out,
a way to, you know, you go on our site and just create an account with a username and password
that will auto generate you a wallet when you purchase your first NFT with your, for anybody,
you know, if you want to add crypto to your wallet, that's great. But also being able to use
a credit or debit card to go and purchase your first ever NFT, dropping another one of those
barriers to entry. You know, they've said, you know, we've talked about kind of like mass adoption and like
what that really means.
I think that right now, you know, there's a lot of different hoops that people need
to jump through to get to the point where they are able to actually like go and do things
easily in crypto.
And, you know, trying for us, you know, one of the things that's going to drive that demand
is being able to break down those barriers.
I think that's what's really going to, you going to help bring our value proposition up a lot.
Obviously, I'd like to integrate some type of point system for the Oyster Club specifically,
for the Shakhtar Oyster Club NFTs.
I'd like to get a kind of like a pearl collectible or something that could then upgrade your NFT
and eventually build in something to re-roll
rarity.
Because obviously with the tech, what's behind the tech is the rarity aspect of the attributes
on your NFT.
You know, I'd like to build in some type of like re-roll pool or way that you can, you
know, maybe monthly or maybe bi-weekly projects that minted on Kosha that want to have their communities be able to basically sell back their NFTs.
Or they say, OK, well, I don't, you know, I built this one.
The rarity didn't turn out the way I wanted it to because the rest of the community picked, let's say, similar attributes.
I have a common NFT here. I want to re-roll it.
I want to pay, you know, 0.1 sole or 0.15 sole, re-roll all these NFTs.
you know, 0.1 sole or 0.15 sole, re-roll all these NFTs. I think that that kind of does add
another layer of the market and, you know, can keep the demand moving for the collection,
keep volume up, and then therefore move floor price as well. Like a lot of the problems that
we've seen have came because, you know, collections, people might have sentimental
value to them, but, you know, they become stagnant. You know, the price becomes stagnant
because everyone's either just holding on to that or they're waiting for them to drop a coin or so on and so forth.
We're trying to gamify everything. We're making it so users can come in and build their own NFT
from scratch, create their character. They get that sentimental value. They get that gamification
behind the mint, but then we also add those different layers that I've talked about and you know give
deployers a way to come in and custom bill UI with us on our you know on the
launch pad they can get their own landing page I think that's what's
really gonna push us to the top and I see us with the with either successful
exit or hopefully you know what my ultimate goal would be to become one of
the biggest launch pads in the entire ecosystem eventually. Because we're starting on Seoul.
SWE is our next step after we go public with that. And then we build in EVM and eventually
Binance Smart Chain. I think that that's the ultimate goal, right, is to eventually build
Binance integrations. That would probably take, who knows, hopefully a year.
But that's it.
You know what I mean?
I think that that's what propels us to the top.
So, yeah, I see it going really well.
Awesome.
Thank you for that.
Oh, sorry.
So you don't hear a lot of people talking about Binance.
So that's my past.
I come from the Cosmos ecosystem and Binance ecosystem.
So I know a lot about all that. It's crazy to hear that.
Definitely, definitely. Quack Life, you are up, active community. I see that they're prospering from being involved in this project, that the early supporters especially are, you know, just really enjoying, you know, what's coming.
And I see designer clothing moving into big box stores as their brand gains traction, you know, from some mass retail.
We have a connection with a man who makes clothes for Nordstrom and anthropology and has a
factory actually based here in America so that is exciting and definitely on our roadmap I see
some gamified elements so having some games with our NFTs some things for our community to play
together and compete and you know we have some playful competition there I
see us collaborating with other conservationists and other like-minded
humans and projects you know this is a very big vision and so many hands will
make light work I see a strong team around you know for the the base of the
core of QUAC really well-rounded team that's developed. And, you know, I see them
exploring community governance at that point in time. I see our QUAC community radio. So kind of
like a public radio where there's, you know, different times for different genres of music
or different types of talks. I see that going 24-7 would be the goal there. And then I see us
also moving into building our in real life hub
at that point in time, that's a year from now. And, you know, really expanding that. And as the
brand develops, and as all these things unravel, the utility for the token and the NFTs will also
get built up on. And so, yeah, I just see a lot of excitement in the in the near future and yeah
we're just steady grinding pushing towards that that date and that time so yeah i think that's my
my 12 month time answer
awesome thank you so much for that quack life all right we will get back to my questions now. Wow, Arcadian, thank you so much for taking over my space.
Seriously, man, come on.
Yeah, and do laser over there.
That is my main account.
If you want to give him a follow, that'd be cool too, fam.
I'd super appreciate that.
But we over here in CryptoFam Radio,
as a volunteer run radio station,
we're actually looking for other space hosts to take up the mantle and help me run CryptoFam Radio. as a volunteer run radio station.
We're actually looking for other space hosts to take up the mantle and help me run CryptoFam Radio.
I've got a big vision for this radio show.
I want it to be a 24-hour event extravaganza
where we have different space hosts
from all different chains representing CryptoFam Radio.
And on top of that, they're going to get paid.
I want to actually start paying Space hosts.
They're basically like radio hosts, you know, DJs doing their thing.
And that's my goal.
That's my vision of CryptoFam Radio and elevating the Web3 communities in this space as well.
I think, you know, we don't get enough support, like
sure, within our own communities, but with other communities, you know, and I really
see CryptoFam Radio as a place where we're elevating, but also sharing, supporting and
onboarding a lot of the normies out there, we like to call it, you know, people that
aren't so familiar with Web3. So we want to make it easy, accessible.
And we just don't want to be on X, you know.
We want to be on all platforms, eventually on Sirius XM and your local radio station.
But you know what, BabySteps fam, BabySteps, I may have a big vision and a big heart,
but, you know, like right now the present is the best time for everything when it comes to Crypto Web 3, NFTs, and the like.
And I absolutely love what I'm hearing, fam.
So thank you so much for being here again and supporting CryptoFam Radio AMA panel Thursday, guys.
Real quick, up in the Jumbotron, we have a newsletter.
You guys can take two seconds and drop your email to that newsletter.
You're going to be a part of our exclusive community over here at CryptoFamRadio.
That's how I am capturing people's information, I guess.
We're all trying to market to each other in some way, shape, or form.
My way is off of X, definitely.
Lists are important. Lists are key. And I find a
newsletter is the best list. Everyone still uses email, believe it or not. I check my email daily.
And so I'm like, well, what happens if Twitter shuts down or lo and behold, it just doesn't
pop up? I want to have access to my list, right? Lists are important, especially if you're trying
to run a business. You want to get service and products to your customer. So we've got that
newsletter there for a reason, fam, you know, just in case. And it's actually a great way
to communicate. I know, I know, fam, emails have been around for a while. We're all talking about
blockchain and Web3, and I'm talking about emails.
Yeah, tell me about it. Tell me about it.
But still, everyone still uses email. I'm a big believer in emails.
And I come from the copywriting background.
So, yeah. Anyway, real quick, we're going to move back to my questions now, if that's cool, fam.
We're going to start the five-minute time here.
I really wanted to ask this question. to my questions now if that's cool fam we're gonna start the five minute time here i really
wanted to ask this question so yeah we're gonna do dragon punks first and then oysters and then
ending off with quack life dragon punks i want to hear more about the marketing side since we're so
into marketing these days what modes of marketing are you using to build your community? How do you build excitement within your community?
Go for it.
For marketing, the main thing we're doing is collabs.
I mean, collabs are where you're going to get people from other communities.
They're going to win whitelists.
We did it for whitelists.
We do a lot of giveaways with other communities and rumbles
and have people coming into our Discord
and we're going into theirs and everybody's just kind of making friends
and spreading the word.
I feel like that is the best type of marketing that you can do.
You can put up an ad and spend $7,000 on an ex-ad.
It isn't going to do shit.
You need to have that trust and getting a bunch of people,
you know, like coming in from different projects is going to develop that trust.
Trust is everything in web three. If you don't have any trust, you don't have anything.
So straight up, uh, we're not, you know, spending a ton of money on marketing. We're not, we're,
we're, uh, we're going around and talking to communities, doing spaces, trying to find quality people that we want to, you know, invest our time in and work with.
We're really not, like I said, we kind of go against the grain.
You know, we're a little bit on the, you know, the more like rebellious side.
We're not following any rules or anything like that.
We're on our own wavelength and wave plane here. I mean, we had this market was kind of a, you know, like a problem for us because it
went, you know, got kind of bad the last couple of weeks.
But, you know, it doesn't matter.
We're just going to, we're 50%, over 50% minted out in less than three weeks.
So we're just going to keep grinding because what we're doing is working.
And, you know, that's what it's all about is developing a system that works, right?
And that's where you're going to, that's where you need to find your niche. You need to, that's
where you find your people. Um, random people come in all the time and they say that, Hey,
I saw your project. I love the art. I want to learn more about it. We direct them to the website.
Um, we're real friendly. I've helped people make cause people can't figure out abstract. I've sat
there for two hours trying to help people make, um, you know, that's the type of trust and that's
the kind of friendships that we're all about and that is the type of marketing that we
are you know we're we're doing once this project is minted out um you know we're gonna have some
money for development and we can probably look at other marketing stuff at that point but you know
we really do want that tight-knit group we don't want just a bunch of random people um coming into our project anyway so you know uh vibe attract tribe that is that's our marketing plan i love it fam also i do
see some requests to come up uh we won't just yet invite audience to come up we do have a q a time
to let the audience ask questions to the communities that are getting showcased here but don't worry
fam we'll have time for you guys as well so we want to put as much attention and
time and energy to these communities to these this AMA and so I just want to let
you guys know don't. I see your requests.
We'll bring you up a little bit later
for the Q&A time.
So next, Oyster,
you need me to repeat the question
or you got it?
No, I mean,
I'll just dive into some marketing stuff.
Yeah, I mean,
I'll kind of, I guess,
tackle this one in kind of a two-part as well.
When it comes to Koshin.lol,
the launchpad, like I said, we're really kind of trying to tackle this as like a coalition effort.
All of the projects that come in mint with Kochia, I think currently we have six confirmed, are all kind of going to be marketing together more or less.
We're all going to be pushing each other's communities, kind of tying into what DragonPunks was saying about collaborating with
other communities to get people to come together. You know, once that kind of starts happening,
you know, you kind of have that snowball effect of, you know, people pushing for the common goal,
which is to, you know, keep demand up and keep the, you know, each other's communities flowing,
you know, based on that, you know, kind of common denominator that
they all have, which is the, the Kosha launch pad and all of the innovative stuff that we're
going to be building on our, on our Kosha hub is what I kind of like to call it. Um, so that,
that's going to be really cool for the Kosha side of things. Obviously that's going to help out with
the Oyster Club, uh, and the marketing for our project as well. But, um, what we do, uh, over
with the SEOC, with the Shucked Up Oyster Club for marketing, obviously we have a pre-built kind of community, like I said, because we started actually in 2023, around the times that the market had crashed.
We had built up a pretty strong community and we're preparing to mint when that FTX collapse happened.
And then we kind of rebranded, went towards going the actual building out of the entire launch pad
kind of route. And, you know, now we have over 850 OGs in our Discord. You know, we have a lot
of poker players, you know, a lot of guys who come in and alpha hunt, rumble. You know, we have our
intern, for example, he does a little, you know, alpha section. I'll have to get up with him to see what he's up to.
We have some really capable people that provide a lot of value for our community.
So it's all about building those kind of funnels.
How can we get people to see us on spaces, to want to come into our community and interact,
get them into our Discord, get them OG roles, which are going to give them, you know, different tiers of whitelists.
We have three of them, for example.
Get those whitelist NFTs into their wallets.
You know, obviously collabs are a big part of that.
Poker games, giveaways.
And yeah, I mean, really content creation is at the core of it.
content creation is at the core of it. That's something that we're going to be ramping up
That's something that we're going to be ramping up in the next couple of weeks.
in the next couple of weeks. I've worked on a ton of different projects in the meantime,
while we kind of had the oysters on hold while the development of the tech was going on.
Something that I used a lot of to market was TikTok, working on a ton of different
meme coins and different Happy Cat and Glam Cat. I've worked on a ton of different of those projects,
and obviously at the kind of core of them was always that content creation
and building those rating communities, you know,
people that come in and are going to be rewarded for rating
or be entered into, you know, different types of giveaways.
So one thing we do in our Discord, for example,
is, you know, we have every weekend,
we're actually starting this back up this weekend, we used to run it, is we do kind of like a weekend long raiding party where, you know, if everybody comes in and all of our community members hit all of our posts, join up in our Around the Reef space, we have one this Saturday, they get automatically entered into a giveaway for I think $40 or $50.
a giveaway for I think $40 or $50. And then we also have a Discord activity contest where Arcane
tracks everybody's level. So people are kind of competing with each other for the top spots.
Those people get added into a pool to win Seoul, to win different NFTs, to win different prizes.
You know, like DragonPunks was saying, I love collabs. I'd love to definitely get involved
with some of you guys' communities as well. Pot potentially, if you have any partner projects, buying up those NFTs off the floor and then offering them to, you know, our own users in
pools, vetted projects and whitelists as well. You know, how can we, you know, really get out
there? And that's where outreach comes in. That's where Joe comes in as well. Joe's big on spaces.
I know he, you know, he's been in here a lot. He runs his Shiltaculars and has countless connections. Unfortunately,
with me, I lost my original account, which kind of did stifle a lot of the progress that I really
did plan on using a lot of those connections. It's still verified. It's kind of funny. It's
like an archive. People think I just fell off the earth. I don't exist anymore or something like
that. But I'm still here and we still have Joe, so he's handling a lot of the outreach aspect of marketing. One other thing I guess I'll leave you with
that's kind of unconventional is because the Oyster Club does have those corporate partnerships,
that active and fit partner with all the gyms I mentioned, as well as Hyatt Hotels and Wyndham,
that's something that you can market. Like you said, Arcadian was saying, market to your mother,
market to your dad or your uncle or something like that.
I'd really like to explore Facebook ads, the Meta Audience Network, potentially getting some of those channels going as well.
I'm not exactly sure how to do it yet, but I do know about how to run Facebook ads and things like that.
But to do it with an NFT community successfully, I have not yet. But that is one thing that is on the horizon for me,
just because you're able to really, like, think about it, you know, you have kind of like a Costco
card that you could say, hey, like, if you're a gym goer, let's say you're a 60 year old mom or
something like that, and you don't want to pay 100 bucks for the gym, you can get a Expedia
personalized travel agent, plus a $28 a month
blanket gym membership that gives you access to basically every gym that you would have in your
town. That's something that I can see being smacked on an email list or on the side of
someone's Facebook profile there. So kind of the possibilities are endless. It's really just trying
to backtest a lot of things and figure out what works and what doesn't.
We're still in the process of that, but in these next couple of weeks,
as we ramp up towards our genesis meant for Kosha, it's going to be popping.
It's more than just engagement, guys.
There's a lot of different projects that go out here, and they have hundreds of likes on their posts, and they use all of these different tactics to, you know, get tons and tons of people
onto their posts. It might not even be real people you don't even know. It's really more than that.
And really what it takes is going in and testing and then testing again and again and again.
It becomes very tedious. I know you guys all know this. I mean, we've all been doing projects for
a while and having to work on this stuff, but building those connections. So I would definitely
love to get more involved with crypto fam dragon punks
quack life all you guys yeah I mean that's pretty much it marketing wise
probably like a ton of other stuff I'm forgetting about obviously there always
is when it comes to marketing but um yeah I'd say that that's that's kind of
our strategy for the next couple weeks start ramping up that content creation
and amongst other things got Gotcha, Oyster.
And let me tell you, with that old account that you can't get working again,
imagine if you had an email list,
you would have had all your contacts right there.
Just saying, all right.
Yeah, I'm pretty good.
Quack Life, you are up.
Modes of marketing you're using to build your community.
How do you build excitement?
Go for it.
Totally.
So a lot of what we've been working on is networking,
you know, word of mouth,
a lot of X spaces, several a day,
most of the time,
lots of DMs and reaching out directly to people
who seem like, you know, are doing who seem like you know are doing similar things
or are open um to doing similar things and just really finding those real people and those those
real investors um exploring you know ai to help us build our strategies on socials to make sure
we're you know hitting target times and we're we're following the right kind of things to help trigger the algorithm.
And so far, it's been super successful.
We've had, well, everyone knows the past couple of days, the followers have been up and down all over the place.
But we did a ghost launch and in just a few weeks, we were up to over a thousand followers.
And it just kind of snowballed from there. And really, I think over a thousand followers and it just, you know, kind of snowballed
from there. And really, I think the X spaces has been super, super helpful. Also getting,
you know, eyes from different communities through those X spaces and not just getting,
you know, stuck in your own little eco chamber that you've built. And the Green Pill Collective,
getting involved with those guys has been super awesome um networking through some
you know people who are kind of vetting each other so that you know that you're finding real people
who are really going to be there to support you and and be your friend um and so that's super
awesome we've been making fresh content every day um you know i use a a lot of Canva to help me create things and to help bring, you know, NFTs into life in different ways.
We've also been offering a lot of giveaways and incentives, you know, to integrate new people into our ecosystem.
We've been working on expanding our socials.
We're going to be doing TikTok lives starting this weekend, actually, Saturday night,
I believe. And we also have been doing lots of contests. Like we had a meme contest. We've had
mint competitions. We've done random giveaways. And right now we actually have a competition
going on. There's a video generation contest. So it's on my profile. You can find out
how to participate in that. But basically, we're bringing our NFTs to life. And the winner of that
will get an NFT and be integrated into our ecosystem as well. We've been linking up with
other projects and running promotions with them to help support each other that's been really fun we put on ads and boosts you know to get our name and our
brand out there done some coordinated X engagement and I think you know the
reward systems the NFT utility the merch the IRL hub those are all just
marketable aspects that people see and you know they kind of people can see the
vision and if people see the vision then they're more likely to spread the vision on their own
pages and they're more likely to reach out to their own friends and tell them about how cool
this project is and you know so that's been a really a core element to our our marketing and
also creating a space you know in our telegram for others to
find family, to find fun, playfulness, to have a welcoming and a safe space that, yeah, allows our
vibe to attract our tribe. We actually have some gifts about that with our ducks. So that's a huge,
huge aspect as well. But really that networking and um you know x spaces has been really crucial
in our development and meeting new people and you can just you can kind of sift through the madness
a little bit easier with the spaces you know you can tell you can hear people's passion and you can
hear the realness of them or not and then you can you know easier to find your community and find your people
in those ways so yeah we're looking forward to more marketing as we evolve and um you know as
markets shift and uh yeah but for now it's just a lot of networking and you know building up and
building our quack pack awesome awesome thank you so much for that quack life yeah marketing is definitely key
if you're trying to build a project and i feel like a lot of people confuse marketing with just
like you know everything else out there all it is is just basic storytelling guys it's it's telling
a great story about your community. And if people are
receptive to it, they are, you know, they'll gravitate, they'll attract, right? Your vibe
attracts your tribe, as we've been saying in this space today. But, you know, it's that consistency
too, I find, right? It's that communication and consistency and just, you know, fulfilling
your promise, you know, following through. I feel like in this space, we don't have enough
consistent people. And you know, the real ones, right? Like when the markets are up or down or
all around, doesn't matter, they still show up. You still see their posts, right? You still see
them on spaces. Those are the people you should be connecting with right
you should be uh surrounding yourself with those types of people because those people will help you
grow in this space so thank you so much for that quack life i absolutely love that answer and all
your guys's answers uh the oysters pad over there and dragon punks you guys are doing an amazing job
by the way just wanted to throw you guys some flowers.
Appreciate you all for rocking up and sharing about your communities.
Just let everyone know I've got a few more questions left and then we will
open it up for Q and a for the audience.
So I just want to remind everyone,
don't worry audience.
We'll get to you too.
I know you guys have questions,
but I have a few more and I'm sure maybe my co-hosts have some follow-up mind everyone. Don't worry, audience. We'll get to you too. I know you guys have questions,
but I have a few more and I'm sure maybe my co-hosts have some follow-up questions. They can raise their hands as well if they have anything. But anyway, I'm going to get back
to my questions. I think this is a really fun one and something that I always would like to know if
I'm always, if I'm thinking about running my own project but um
let's just say hypothetically if you could rewind time would you do anything different
when building your projects your web3 community and we'll start with dragon punks. Go for it.
There's probably a couple things I would have gone back and redone,
but one of them may have been putting together a video tutorial on how to use abstract chain.
It's been pretty challenging for people.
Some people can't figure out how to bridge or something like that um but like i said i we're here to help we did make a tutorial on how
to do it and people were still having problems so if i could go back out that's probably the main
thing that we would have went that we would that we would probably have done is is actually built
a really really really good video or
something like that instead of just assuming people are going to be able to figure out how to
bridge to abstract. I mean, yes, I've been in crypto for six years, so I know how to do it,
but I really had to take a step back and realize like, wow, there's a lot of people that have no
idea how to do this. So that's probably my biggest, you you know the biggest regret that i have is not explaining
that a little bit better um it really isn't super super hard um but we what we're having
people do now is just go get yourself the abstract global wallet and you can just connect to the apps
right on that wallet instead of trying to have everybody go to metamask add the chain
and then go to relay.link and convert your eth to abstract i think that's where the disconnect was
but yeah that's the that's just probably my biggest regret um of the of the project so far
i don't have too many man we haven't had too many bad things really happen yet you know so knock on
wood i got some real wood right here i'm gonna knock on it um but yeah that's really really about it you know what dragon punks i just want
to follow up with that i actually lost like 50 dollars in eath because uh sending it to my
abstract wallet thinking that regular eath was like abstract eath um but yeah so i lost 50 bucks
there in eath and I was kind of bummed
out about that because I didn't know. So actually go, go down the abstract wallet,
uh, the abstract global wallet and go check it. It might be there, dude. No way for real.
Yeah. Because we had a late, I can't mention any names, but we had, uh, somebody the other,
a couple of weeks ago that lost like $150.
And then I walked her through the process with the abstract global wallet.
As soon as she opened the abstract global wallet that she connected her MetaMask to,
her $150 was sitting right there.
Oh, shit.
So I'm not saying that will happen to you.
I'm saying that it probably, it might show up, though.
It might be there.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just this dumb idiot thinking abstract chain. Oh, eath everything's eath right i didn't know it was like an abstract eath i was like what the heck i didn't well whatever but you know it is
what it is we all live and learn yeah i mean i consider abstract a layer two uh ai calls it a
layer three i don't but. It's a layer two.
But, I mean, yeah.
I love it, man.
I mean, it completely eliminated gas fees on ETH.
I mean, every transaction is like two cents.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, it's just like AVAX or something or SUI.
You know, it's so nice.
Yeah.
Sorry, I'll let you go there.
No, you're good.
I just wanted to quickly digress my personal feelings about abstract.
All right, Oyster, you're up, my fam.
Take it away. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, if I could go back and change anything.
I mean, we started building this project a long time ago.
Like I said, it's been about three years of consecutive kind of development of the tech side of things as well as having the Oysters community on deck.
There's so many people in our Discord.
Like I said, over 850 OGs in our Discord, a lot of which do show up and engage every day and pop into all our spaces and stuff like that.
and engage every day and pop into all our spaces and stuff like that.
But a lot that are dormant that still have their VIPs,
that still have a lot of their old phase of whitelists that have closed at this point
that are still waiting for Mint.
And one thing that I do wish that we would have been able to do is to get it out faster.
We had to pivot with the situation when Seoul went all, Sol went all the way down to eight bucks
for a couple days.
I obviously bounced back up and was between, what,
20 and 60 for like a whole year, you know,
just bear market times.
Probably what I would have done differently is,
you know, instead of, and it's like in hindsight,
how do you really know, but would have went instantly
gone the launchpad kind of
route when we came into this we didn't I didn't personally know a lot about web
three like I said you know Joe got me into the got me into crypto in late
2020 early 2021 and you know before that I was in school for marketing we were in
college and um you know so I did know a thing or two about distribution channels
and things
like that and how to make something pop on social media.
I have a page of 25,000 followers on Meta, amongst other things.
I've worked on a lot of different coins.
I've helped take some coins at 25 million.
The last one we were pushing for a while, I think four or five hundred, market cap doesn't
really matter.
With vibrant communities like that, it took a long time to actually learn the ins and outs of being able to make something,
you know, popular on X, really popular on social media. So now that's kind of the next steps for
this Oyster Club project, which we've, you know, kind of had dormant for a while. I would have
initially gone the launchpad route and instead built out that tech first or tried to pump more money
into tech while putting marketing and community growth on the back burner.
So we had that tech ready.
And then like one thing, for example, I did a couple of different conferences, maybe three
or four BD conferences.
I went out to Denver for Ethereum Denver, you know, talked to the people at the
Solana Foundation and kind of showed them what we were building tech-wise, right? That's what they
do. They do tech stuff. They do all this, you know, sharding, bridging, so on and so forth.
And something that, you know, we kind of had trouble with was being taken seriously in the
market we were in, right? A lot of the guys that I talked to there were building AI, were building
D-Pen. They're building all these different things. And when I pitched them, you know, Seriously in the market we were in right a lot of the guys that I talked to there were building AI were building deep in
They're building all these different things and when I pitched them, you know what I was building. It was usually leading with something like
What NFTs do you own do you own any NFTs? Do you have a board a parade at the time board apes were maybe?
22 or 18 grand or something like that. Do you have a board ape? Do you have a SMB?
That was when I was I was big I had a lot of Solana monkey business NFTs. I would lead with that and they would say, yeah,
I have some monkeys, but I don't even look at those, man. That's a joke to me.
And that's kind of the uphill battle that a lot of the NFT, a lot of you guys know,
building NFT projects that actually have serious utility and want to be taken in a more,
or try to do innovative things, think out of the box,
are kind of dismissed oftentimes amongst those bigger tech communities. And probably I would
have tried to pump more money into the tech side of things to get it done faster and then gone to
the Solana Foundation with more of a plan of this is how we plan to brand the launch pad as a product.
This is how we plan to bring people on board and then probably look for a grant.
And I mean, I'm not really the biggest proponent of going and trying to get VC funding or grants or anything like that.
But they really do. That would obviously expedite the process for marketing.
It's tough being like a bootstrapped kind of all money that we've spent coming out of our own pockets
and basically trying to get it from the ground up.
Obviously, we have total ownership of our product now,
which is why I've said that I think that we could get an eight-figure
or even be a billion-dollar company like Magic Eden.
But it would really make it for the community that we've built.
It would have definitely, if we went that route, expedited the process a lot and given us a lot more support.
It is really hard, man.
It's hard to, in this space, and I've seen it time and time again, working with a lot of different projects marketing-wise throughout the years.
It's tough to get a tech startup off the ground.
A lot of people don't want to take you seriously.
A lot of people, and especially with what we're doing here with the Launchpad,
like it creates an entire new meta of rarity.
Those big NFT projects, who would want to work with the person that's just not destroying there,
but, you know, changing their system, right?
They have, you know, projects that are worth 10 grand, 20 $20,000, $5,000 floor price, Magic Eden making hundreds of soul a day on revenues just from fees alone, royalties alone, and things like that.
There's a lot – who would want to see their meta kind of change, right?
So it has been kind of an uphill battle to get people to work with us because of that. But I guess in the grand scheme of things, in hindsight, like I wouldn't do
anything differently. It's just that I could definitely see the other routes that we could
have taken to make this kind of go a little bit faster. But, you know, everything in due time,
and I think that with the way that we've gone, it will be ultimately successful. It's just, uh, it's taken a while. That's for sure. So, you know,
thank goodness for the awesome community members, all those people in our discord that are still
patiently, patiently waiting for our mint, which is coming, you know, in the next month or so. So,
um, yeah. Beautiful. Uh, Arcadian, you got a follow-up?
beautiful uh arcadian you got a follow-up
yeah absolutely man um uh am i audible um am i audible guys yeah i can hear you go for it
yeah i see your hand up all right now sweet man look oyster i'm i'm feeling you a lot right um
you know i'm a founder.
I know what you're going through.
I've been at it for a long, long time.
But, you know, where I am is more strategic and where you are, dude.
I mean, you've been building communities three, four years.
I know what you're up to.
You know, I know where you're at. I know you've got 70, of your over your community is like they've been with you for a long time so they're sitting
there saying hmm you know when lambo when what right and they're getting impatient i get that
i get that do they understand what an oyster is right have they got any clue of how something works an oyster um just you know some
background takes six months to create a pearl and that's a small pearl or it takes up to four years
to create a pearl pearl one that has more value so if you've been at it for three years they still need
to understand it's still quite young and um dude but you're speaking the right language when you're
saying um putting more into the tech because uh in startup culture right the people that are trying
to build the the spaceships the really intricate designs, the dreams.
They're building the dreams.
Meanwhile, the guys that are building the bicycles are making money, right?
They're building a bike.
They're putting up a barbecue stall in an industrial area, but they're the ones getting
traction and making money.
You're 100% right.
If you are thinking about making your mint next month, I'm going to throw this at you and hope you got to sleep with this. What is stopping you
from minting? Right? Ask yourself that one question. You can even answer it here on the
space if you want, but what is stopping you from minting that thing? And what's stopping you from minting it and saying people come in and buy this thing right just get started um do when i'm doing myself we talk about it and um yeah sure right
we're targeting a big audience we're targeting billion dollars we're targeting you know um sec
etc but you know what it comes down to is just start because all of those idiots out there who
we are going to shame and embarrass they get started meanwhile we're talking about it and
we're you know we're planning it we're trying to do it the right damn way and they're they're
selling bullshit while we have to keep on planning stuff right Right? Oyster, do you want to unmute? Do you want to
comment on that? Am I saying something true here? Yeah. I mean, no, it's definitely kind of what
it's felt like. We've seen a really saturated market where there's just a lot of kind of crap
floating around, or a lot of one-off mints, pump and dumps happen across the board all the time.
If I had one thing that's kind of, or what's stopping us from minting right now? Um, I mean, the only thing is,
is waiting for, um, our two guys, we have these, we have two really awesome devs, Ming and Kenzo,
um, in over in Asia who are putting the finishing touches on the, um, on the tech and the UI that's
actually going to be built into the Kocha launch pad before that goes up live for everybody to be
able to kind of pre-test like you have on the, uh, on our pin tweet there, there's going to be built into the Kosha launchpad before that goes up live for everybody to be able to kind of pre-test like you have on our pinned tweet there.
There's going to be a whole new kind of everything's going to be revamped and new.
That's going to go live on the Kosha site.
And then we're going to be fully in kind of a marketing push, maybe like a three-week
marketing push, and then just go straight to Mint.
Really at the moment, like with the amount of community support that we have and everybody
in Discord, I do think that right now, because we have a 6,000, you have to think practically,
right?
We have a 6,000 oyster collection with the price point of $20 or $25 USD, I think, depending
on what phase you have of whitelist, probably change it up for some of our OGs and VIPs, right?
Slightly. And let's say, you know, how many of those NFTs are going to be, you know, kind of taken out of circulation for potentially liquidity or different mechanisms that we may build in like down the line with an app. So there are some like small tweaks that we still need to go over
as a team. But like, yeah, I mean, really, like, I'm, I'm really excited, because I do think,
you know, we're very close now to the point where as soon as they get those updates pushed,
and the site is live with our UI, we can go full on, you know, guys like this is the mint price,
this is the date, like show up. And I know for a fact that a lot of the people that are kind of dormant in our Discord that do still keep an eye on and come and play games are going to show out.
And at that point, you know, once we get there, it's really just trying to make the correct calculations to make sure that we can mint out 6,000 oysters.
And, you know, with the worst case scenario being cap the mint a bit smaller, obviously, you know, it's not easy to mint out a 10,000, a 6,000 NFT collection to get that many people to show up. But with the support
that we've garnered so far, I know there's going to be a lot of people showing up and minting
multiples. And it's also like a little more, we need to definitely do a little more, not market
research, but a little more, yeah, just planning of technicals to, you know, make sure that
we have the runway to be able to give away some oysters as well.
I'm not sure how many it'll be, but still be able to pull in enough capital that we
can run the business sustainably for, you know, for the next year and, you know, build
out all of the updates that I've kind of gotten out in the past.
Because, you know, like I said, everything coming out of pocket,
we definitely need some capital
to kind of finish the job
of what we are trying to build with the Launchpad.
But it's coming soon, man.
And I'm really like, I feel you.
It's just, it feels like sometimes the waiting game
of waiting on devs, waiting on, you know,
waiting on different people, projects,
sending a ton of DMs, you know,
working on this, working on that. And of DMs, you know, working on this, working on that and for what really, you know, outcome.
But, you know, now we're really close to that point.
So I am starting to get excited.
But yeah, thank you, man, for the kind words.
It's tough doing tech startup stuff.
It's tough doing NFT stuff.
But I think we're all going to make it, man, as long as we keep on as long as we keep on
pushing and get more involved with each other, too.
That's something I have to do better about.
Joe's mostly in charge of that.
But if I need to get my own personal account back popping or make a new one,
I made a new one, but it's only got like 50 followers or something like that,
kind of get some of my old connections going back
or just get on Spaces More on the Oysters account daily
and meet some new people and stuff like that.
I'd say like right now we could probably mint out maybe three,
maybe three, 4,000 oysters.
And that's not taking into account perhaps
if we were to take a certain amount
for different liquidity events
or what we plan to do with pools, giveaways.
So getting that last couple thousand, 2,000 oysters
that we need to mint out the 6,000 in public, um,
is kind of going to be the,
my goal for the next couple of weeks because you definitely don't want to fall
short and have to say, no guys, we didn't mint out 6,000.
We're going to be that project that says, oh, collections now 4,000. Um,
you know, sorry, but the distribution's totally changed.
So don't want to be in that position, you know?
Awesome. Don't worry about it thank you so much oyster appreciate that fam arcadium love that follow-up uh quack life are you there
i am awesome take it away it's your turn let's's see. I mean, no famous people?
No, not really.
You know, they can make for a sticky situation.
It's more of a joke than anything.
But wow, what a tough question.
You know, I go last.
And I've just been having a hard time actually thinking about, you know, what I do regret or what I would rewind time and change. And, you know,
having more knowledge, but I really can't say that because without doing it and without going through the process, you know, I wouldn't have gained that knowledge. So I really can't rewind
that. You know, market is an interesting time, but I do deeply believe that everything happens
for a reason.
And so I can't seriously consider that option either.
There's a reason that we are here during this time.
And so, you know, people are like, oh, why didn't you build on another chain?
You know, Solana's cooked.
And I also just don't believe that.
I believe that there are lights in the trenches and there are good people out there
that are really looking for something real and that there is more to Solana than this debauchery
and this damage that's occurred over the past few months. So we're definitely here to stay on Solana
and, you know, build that back up and help bring that light. I've been really happy building Slow
and Steady. You know, it's organic. We've been picking up authentic humans and finding our people, that tribe. And yeah, so I don't really have a whole lot of,
you know, regrets or something I would change, you know, looking back on things.
Hopefully this can be a reminder to others as well. I guess, you know, I spend most of my time
during my career outside and this launch and developing of the NFTs has brought me inside a lot.
And so, you know, potentially setting up an outside workstation a little sooner so that I could have got more sun and some more fresh air.
just happy to be, you know, slow and steady building and, and learning, you know, along the
way and developing with the people that we bring into the community and holding space for others
to create. You know, I don't, yeah, I really tried so hard to think of an answer. So did my
partner. We're both here like, what's the answer? What do we, you know, what do we regret? What
would we change? change and and I just
I can't I can't think of anything so um yeah no regrets everything happens for a reason and
and uh yeah we're here to keep keep learning and keep growing I love that fam thank you so much
quack life no that was a good answer and yeah it's also a really great reminder to go outside more and touch some grass.
And yeah, that would be really cool to set up an amazing workstation right outside.
You know what actually reminds me?
I remember living in Washington State, and the apartment I lived in was across from this house.
I remember every morning, this guy would take take his laptop and he would set it right
in his front yard and he'd have like a chair, like a fold-out chair, and he would just sit right in
front and just work like right in the sunshine. I was like, damn, that takes some balls. He does
this like for a few hours every morning. I remember seeing him as I was walking my cat.
So yeah, fam, people do that. Um, and Hey,
if that helps you bring, you know, bring yourself closer to nature by all means, you know, that's
amazing. But anyway, fam, uh, just want to let everyone know we are winding down here. I have
one more question and then we're going to open it up to the audience. So, uh, my last question of
the night and, and thank you again everyone for for being here
and supporting and uh and just you know just being you you know being present this is this is a huge
time right now in crypto and in web 3 and 2025 you know like we are just we're going places i'm
just bullish every single day you know um just not on the charts, but on you guys.
Meeting each and every one of you guys and listening to your stories, you know.
That's what gets me jazzed, you know.
So, all right, guys.
All right, guys.
Last question.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start an amazing Web3 community like yours what advice would you give them
and i will start with dragon puns
run run far away no i'm just kidding um
take your time do a lot of research um make sure you're very comfortable with speaking
in spaces from 6 a.m to 12 p.m the next day um just make sure that yeah crypto or big man x is
like laugh i know why you're laughing buddy um but yeah just make sure you're very familiar with
what you're doing
you know do the research you know it took me i've always wanted to start an nft project and you know
it took me about about three years to get serious about wanting to do it um i've been in crypto for
six but i learned that whole time you know i from the very beginning to where i am now and it's all
a learning curve so
that's just the best advice you can give is make sure you're comfortable with it make sure it's
something you really want to put your time and your uh your passion into um it does take a lot
of your time it's not for the weak-hearted you have to have the you know iron grit to do this
there's no way that you can just you can have know, feelings really, as far as taking crap from people or whatever.
You just, you can't give a fuck.
You just have to, you just have to put your head down and grind.
I'm not saying not give a fuck about, like, community.
I'm saying, like, you can't give a fuck if, like, there's haters or fuck.
You just got to, like, throw that shit over your shoulder and keep crushing it.
Because, you know, everybody, every project gets it.
And we've had it already.
It is what it is.
You just got to keep trucking.
So just make sure it's something you really want to do and do your decisions.
Dragon Punks, we're losing you, bro.
You're Mike.
I'm sorry, man.
I'm fading here.
Yeah, you're totally fading. I hear you, man. I'm, uh, I'm fading here. Yeah. You're totally fading. I hear you,
man. Anything else you wanted to add? I didn't mean to cut you off, but you're all good. You're all good. Moral, moral of the story. Sorry. I'm just rambling. Moral of the story is just make
sure it's something, you know, you really want to do because it's going to take a lot of, a lot of
a lot of time and it's going to take a lot of drive and a lot of your energy.
time and it's going to take a lot of, uh, a lot of drive and a lot of your energy.
For sure. Being a founder is not easy, that's for sure. Oyster, go for it.
Yeah, I mean, I'd probably tell somebody that the most important tool you're going to have as a
founder, the most important tool you're going to have as somebody trying to market something in Web3 is your X account. Your X account can act as a funnel to all
your other social medias, LinkedIn, website, whatever that is. It could be anybody. You
could have a 10-piece art collection or anything, literally anything, a business selling, Web3, who knows
what, right? It doesn't matter. You could start that up from scratch. What I'd say is to not,
you know, what I'd tell somebody is to not jump into it too quickly and go and get yourself in
a situation where your account is unfavored algorithmically. You know, everybody throws
the shadow word around and things like that.
That's definitely not what you want to do is start going in and following instantly.
Go and follow 500, follow 1,000 people outright. Go and spam a bunch of likes or spam a bunch
of replies and things like that. Obviously, some of the bigger reply guys accounts and
things like that will tell you to go and just spam GM spam GM GM GM GM all over the page which isn't
necessarily a bad strategy right but it's all about like crafting your own
strategy right and figuring out what works for your account and I think that
the biggest thing that I found in marketing a lot of different projects
not just the oysters and you know honestly being in the space has really inspired me.
I'm about to get on the grind tomorrow for the oysters
and absolutely go crazy.
But learn rating and learn not just when you're running a coin,
but an NFT project as well.
Learn different ways that you could drop your own tweets
under other tweets.
And you can put a witty caption above those tweets
and get people interested with a one-liner.
You know, get that, those people, you know, funneling into your project from that one-liner to be greeted in your Discord with like an actual cool, you know, kind of a story.
Like you said, storytelling is really important.
And be able to kind of craft those experiences from the consumer's perspective.
You know, what are they going to look like when they're going to, let's say, oh, God, the first one who came to mind, I don't know,
Coot Capital, that's an insane first person to come to mind.
But when you go to, okay, let's just say a big account, like let's say you have an account that has 500,000 or something like that.
You hit their replies, you hit their reply early, you drop, let's say, the oyster, the
pin tweet we have up there about the new meta the new meta and how it how would you like to build your own
character and gamified you know on a new launch pad or something like that right
you drop that under there and you you know drop your tweet under there so it
pops up as well you get let's say they got a 20,000 views now your reply has
1,500 views right um are people gonna see that and actually be greeted with something that's like, okay,
this is genuinely cool.
I'm going to check out.
I'm going to go do more, jump in their Discord, so on and so forth.
Are they in a space as well?
Okay, boom.
I just came to their page.
Now they're in a space talking.
You know, how can people see that you have a vibrant community organically?
And it's not just, you know, can it be, because, you know, one thing that people that are kind of, I've seen a lot of debates about throughout the years are like, do we want to have very high engagements or do we want to have organic engagements, right?
And kind of where is the balance of those?
How can we make it look as organic as possible rather than be as organic as possible is kind of the disconnect that I've seen a lot. So I'd say that people should definitely try to focus on their rating strategies, focus
on what's going to bring them that engagement, focus on their connections, focus on getting
in spaces and actually meeting people and then just shooting DMs to people.
Not like unsolicited, like, hey, join our community, but something that I have found
successful in the past with a lot of coins is just DMing a ton of people.
Like literally just going out and just DMing and saying, hey, what's up, man?
I see you're building this thing.
I'm building this.
Shoot us a follow, follow back, whatever it may be.
But yeah, just going and getting active and getting active with purpose.
and getting active with purpose, you know, getting active on X with purpose and not just
going and spamming GM, GM, GM or following exactly what the, you know, big Jeremy BTC account tells
you to do every day or something like that. Instead, really finding your own strategy and
cultivating your users' experiences from the ground up. So I'm inspired now. I'm glad,
I'm really glad that I came to this space and that Joe wasn't able to make it because
I haven't talked about marketing. I haven't talked about, you know, glad that I came to this space and that Joe wasn't able to make it because I haven't talked about marketing I haven't talked about
you know really what I plan to do for the next couple the next couple months
with the oysters and with kosher lol and I'm I'm gonna come to be on tomorrow
morning early grinding on Twitter and showing the world the power of the
oysters and Pat and the community that we've built and the strategies that I've
got you know kind of cult you know kind of garnered everything in the last couple of years and brought it all together. So,
um, you know, let's get it, man. That's awesome, Pat. No, we, we really appreciate you being here
and sharing with us the story, uh, of the oysters. Oh, that's your timer and your community. You
know, like I've definitely heard joe
mention you guys a few times even in his uh shiltacular spaces but i haven't really heard from anyone else in the community and you're like the second person now to to share with us about
the oysters so this is this is amazing you know i i always wanted to hear you know more and you know from different people not
just joe so it's cool i love this different uh vibe we got going on here and uh the story behind
that community is really really key really poignant and yeah you're definitely right
um just being in spaces more and just sharing with each other and i think uh the word earlier
you were trying to find is intention, right? Like we
want to be more intentional with how we use this space and what we're posting. And I'm a firm
believer in quality over quantity. Yeah, 100 spam likes, you know, GM, GMs everywhere. I don't think
that's going to get you the right audience. You know, people are more attracted to your intentionality, right? So
we definitely want to be intentional in this space. When what we're trying to showcase and
share with the world, think of it as a show and tell. You know, like back in grade school,
you ever do those show and tells in front of the classroom? It's just like that, but it's on spaces
and it's on your phone i know a little bit
different but still same concept anyway quack life what's up what do you have for us yeah what
would i suggest to somebody um you know a lot of this is is kind of just you know for life in
general right so you know watching out for their expectations of people and timelines of how
things maybe, you know, would have thought to be unfolding, you know, being prepared to do a lot
more work than you expect to do and get a lot less sleep than you might want, you know, prepare for
those ups and downs, those, you know, being able to find some ways to support you
emotionally, to handle that, and being realistic with your time, and what you as one human can,
can accomplish, you know, that'll help, you know, people, yeah, feel better about themselves if
they're not over leveraging or stretching themselves too thin, and setting aside time
for yourself that is non-negotiable,
you know, cultivating those ways to re-energize and to take care of yourself. That's just crucial
to, you know, humans being able to be successful in life in general. Finding a few solid friends
that you can build with, you know, people that you can talk to about these types of things in
Web3 and people that you trust and that you know will be there with you through the ups and downs.
Definitely being careful to compare yourself to others. You know, it's easy in the space when
you're trying to figure out what works and what others are doing. But just remembering, you know,
to stay strong in what you're cultivating and stand out and yeah, building up your confidence like people were talking about in spaces.
You know, it's easiest when there's truth and passion behind what you're bringing to light.
And when you're not afraid to be yourself and you're not afraid to stand out and be different, you know, that's really important, too.
um you know that's really important too and then also you know just don't trust anyone really until
you can connect with them personally and you can develop that relationship um you just really don't
know what you're working with until you know you're you're yeah seeing how it goes and that
goes in in real life too um you know and finding good people in good communities um sticking with
those communities supporting them in any way you can and branching out from there.
Kind of getting that solid base of people who you know will be there to support you and that you can always turn to with questions.
And really just focusing on networking and spreading your vision.
It's similar to what a couple of these other projects have talked about.
Just X spaces, especially being very important. And just, you just you know yeah being yourself and getting that vision out there and not being
afraid to do so and knowing too that as you you know maybe you're afraid at first but as you get
up and you keep doing it like your voice gets less and less shaky and you get more comfortable and
um you know it just gets easier. So you just have to start.
And that's really the, you know, the best thing is just start and try and learn and fall along
the way and pick yourself back up. And, you know, you're going to go far as long as you just,
you know, as long as you try, you know, that's the best thing you can do is to start.
you can do is to start.
Definitely, Quack Life, to start and to be consistent.
I think that is key, especially in spaces and especially meeting people and just trusting
people, right?
Like, we're definitely more trusting with others if they keep showing up consistently,
right?
Like, that's kind of just common sense.
And if you don't see them for a while, I'm like, oh, maybe that's a sign, right?
Maybe they can't be trustworthy.
So you never know, fam.
Definitely got to use common sense around here.
But yeah, thank you.
Thank you so much, guys.
This was an incredible AMA panel.
This was very enjoyable.
I want to quickly open up to Q&A for the audience.
If you guys want to grab a mic real quick,
we're kind of wrapping up here,
but we will take a few questions.
Quick reminder, guys,
we are doing a giveaway in this space.
You must follow CryptoFam Radio,
Quack Life, Dragon Punks,
and the Oysters over here.
You're going to like and retweet this space.
Tag three friends.
I will be double checking in the comments that you tagged and you did all those things.
And I will announce a winner at the end of the space.
And our giveaways are going to be amazing.
So amazing.
I think Quack Life was telling me she's going to be giving away some NFTs.
And I'm not sure if the dragon punks or the
oysters want to do a collective giveaway as well i think so but that's what we got going on fam i
see we have shiv web3 patiently waiting with his hand up uh i'm sure you have a question i appreciate
you uh taking the time and energy to come up here and share with us what you have.
What's up?
Thank you so much.
Oh, God.
This is quite honestly one of the best spaces I've been to in quite a lot of time.
Oh, wow.
A lot of time.
I mean, seriously.
You know, showcasing projects.
You guys have been actually asking real questions what what
a lot of people ask and feel uh behind the project that's been going on and the connection i mean
for fuck's sake i mean huge shout out to you guys and the community as well you guys are doing an absolutely great job. I love it.
And, yeah, I mean, I myself have been in the industry of Web2 as well as Web3 for almost 10 years now, close to 10 years.
How do you guys actually see VC fundings
and how do you guys actually plan on doing it?
That was my question.
I know we guys are pretty running short on time,
and it's all right.
A lot of people might want to bounce,
but these kind of questions,
like even building projects,
I've been working with so many different Web3 AI utility-based projects
as well as NFTs and tapers.
I mean, there's so many things that I've been doing.
But again, how do you guys seek VC funding,
and what do you guys actually look for in a decentralized space, specifically?
I personally, I'm not a big fan ofc funding i mean usually is not done in nft
projects it it's very rarely done in nft projects most of the bulk of the uh of the development
funds come from the mint the mint funds um vcs are usually that's usually going to be a token
where you're going to have a lot more VCs.
It's not something that our project would even want
involved because these people are going to want something
later down the road and it
never stops. So that's just kind of where I
stand on VC funding.
It is more of a token thing than an NFT
thing, I think.
Okay. That was great, Ange, but
you keep on moving away from Mike.
I just want to give you a heads up for the next time you open your back.
But like, you know, ODCs and all these things, you know,
the discount tokens plus, of course, every project needs fundings
and you have to build.
Plus, in order to build, you need team, you need fundings and you know you have to build in a plus in order to build you
need team you need fundings you need to pay out salaries and everything of
course you're gonna have tokens and everything backed up but still you know
people need money to execute plus you need tools so how do you guys actually
approach it and dragon of course even I'm not a fan of VC fundings but like at the
same time a little bit of it goes a long way with every project built on layer
one layer two so let me know what do you guys think one thing that I would say
about VCs is that you know the first thing to keep in mind when you're
building something from the ground up tech-wise is that, like, they're always going to be paid back no matter what.
So, like, even if you, like, let's, you have to go into this, you know, understanding, like, your practical roadmap.
Like, I think a lot of teams that I've seen personally and been involved with that have jumped into it too early have ended up losing a lot of time as well as having to end up in the
hole themselves because of VCs that have kind of used them and like he said held them like not said
but kind of held them hostage almost had them say you know that this is this is basically our project
now buddy like until you recoup x amount like they don't really understand exactly you know what the
intricacies of it are before jumping into it um you know one thing that I've found and seen work with some other
projects that have been successful have been going to trying to find newer niche
markets like chains so some of these new you know not new but I'm like let's say
just some of these alt chains like near when it was brand new you know say and
even sweet and some of these things,
like a lot of those foundations behind those projects, if you're able to grab some of the
market share in like a niche manner, because it's not like, let's say dropping a launchpad
on near when it was brand new, there wasn't that many launch pads, right? But NFTs were
like becoming, you know, big on near. If you were one of those launch pads that had an, if you had a sweet landing page, you know, you had a nice Twitter account,
you had, um, tech that actually makes sense. That's audited. And, you know,
you had a decent enough community.
You could go to one of those chains and say, Hey,
we want a grant to build on your chain. This is how we're going to build,
bring users. Like here's our pitch deck, you know, here's our market research.
This is how we're going to bring users. If they our pitch deck you know here's our market research this is how we're gonna bring users if they like it they give
you free cash right I have never actually gotten myself in a situation
where I've taken VC funding outside of something like that so I wouldn't really
know and I'd be a little bit weary of doing that just because like I said it
seems like a lot of times I've seen projects get like get held hostage kind
of from like those big companies that come in and invest in all these new tech startups and all these different, you know, bigger market makers that do run these like automated machines and things like that.
But I think like a ground level of working on especially like new chains and new projects are new chains and new ecosystems.
It's definitely massive if I was to do another project after this or you know something like
that I probably would try to build on a new chain just because there would where
would be that you know pop off potential like the pop-off potential I try to
explain to the community with the oysters is that you're getting the build
you're getting the tech behind the Kosha launchpad, which could potentially drive demand in the 100x, 1000x factor.
If you're on a brand new launchpad and let's say a ton of people show up because it's brand new, you have a thousand times more people that now would be able to just come to your product because they just discovered this new chain.
So I think that that's one scenario that it could be really, really positive. But for this project, personally, no, like I said, in the past,
you know, maybe would have went that route to try to expedite the process. But it all kind of played
out in a kind of a funky manner. It's something where you would need to have like the tech kind
of, you know, already built out all the way through pitch decks market research everything like that so um yeah
awesome arcadian you got your hand up and just let everyone know we will be closing
out in the next five to ten minutes arcadian what's up you got your hand up
oh yes sir i'd actually just like to hear Shiv's reply to Oyster's reply. If that's cool, before I say anything.
marketing for a lot of projects, not just AI-based or utility-based token, but also
NFT-based tokens. And I've been trying to explore ideas to performance marketing giveaways and
everything in terms of marketing, as well as project building. But the only thing that a lot of founders have, you know, requested me
was to, you know, get more funding, get more funding.
Like, of course, I get, like, that's what a lot of founders want
for any project or anything that they're trying to build.
But at the same time, when I try to explain them that, you know,
it's not a short-term thing.
Plus, you know, you're not just targeting Web3 community.
It's going to be global soon.
I mean, not a lot of people try to understand this shit.
But, like, that's how it's going to go.
And that's how we can grow.
So, but, like, yeah, they want quick money, fast money.
And, yeah, that's what i wanted to hear
from you know everyone building in the project and everyone uh of course involved with the
community and how how they actually tackle with these things definitely uh quack life did you
want to say anything about or answer that question yeah totally um you know building
that brand that can bridge defy and in real life development through merch and nfts and our in real
life hub you know preparing for that mass mass crypto adoption with you know being able to spend
crypto at our hub um you know we've also developed a really strong roadmap and will continue to develop our business plan,
you know, writing grants
and also providing real rewards
and return of investment
that carries over into that in real life space,
you know, will help to incentivize investors
and, you know, with our profit sharing kind of ideas.
And so, yeah, we're in, again, yeah, no rush.
We're ready for that crypto adoption.
But yeah, we're here just bridging DeFi
and in real life development.
Beautiful, beautiful.
Ride or die, I see you, man.
You got a question for these communities here?
Yeah, I do have a man. You got a question for these communities here?
Yeah, I do have a question.
Go for it.
What are the biggest challenges you anticipate?
And what potentials have you identified?
And how are you speaking to that?
Your mic's a bit muffled, ride or die.
Can you speak up a bit louder?
Okay, I said, what are the biggest challenges you anticipate in this project, and what are the
potential risks have you identified, and how are you mitigating
them?
The biggest challenges for us so far is we're on a new chain um and getting people to
uh figure out how to use that chain has been the biggest issue for us so far um
the chain we're on is called abstract it's a fork of eath to layer two um it's only been out for about three and a half months now. We are just finding ways to
coach people the easiest way. We're starting to use the abstract product itself, the abstract
global wallet. That's how we're mitigating the issue instead of using MetaMaskask and that seems to be the easiest thing to mitigate the mitigate the issue
i think we're all hitting a wall kind of in the current market sentiment right now as well but
that you know they it goes up it goes down it goes all around as they say just keep on trucking
awesome oyster did you want to answer that real quick?
Yeah, I mean, what the biggest risks are for our project, or at least, let's say, what the biggest problems and risks that come from those problems.
I mean, the problem being market manipulation and people being able to manipulate the rarity of collections.
That's kind of the problem that
the Kocha Launchpad solves. The risks of that are creating an entirely new system, which obviously
means that there will be new risks inherently. How do you manage that? I mean, number one for us
is getting an actual comprehensive security audit done before we do everything. Obviously,
the oysters being the genesis collection of
the Kosha launchpad, we're kind of testing the tech out like on ourselves, essentially.
So if anything does go wrong, it would go wrong with the oysters NFT project before like the
launchpad goes live for beta testers and for our, you know, because it would be there would be small
fixes in the tech, potentially,
and then or actually going to Certik or one of these bigger auditors and having them come
in and, you know, look through basically everything, which can cost a lot of money.
We're prepared to do that before everything goes completely public.
But I mean, yeah, there's certainly risks across the board, right?
Like what if somebody wants to come in and spend thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of dollars to try to rig a collection's rarity by minting a ton of similar attributes or something like that?
I think it's a very, very small percentage chance that that actually happens because the person would be taking a massive risk on not knowing what that
would do to the floor price of the collection. But since we're creating basically a brand new
system of determining rarity in their floor price, people are inherently probably most likely going to
try to do underhanded crap. So there is going to be a lot of risk management that comes with it.
But I think that that's also hiring good technical people, hiring good devs, people that really do know what they're doing behind the scenes.
And, you know, for myself, I don't read code.
I don't, you know, do Rust or Solidity or anything like that for so long side of things.
But, you know, I know a lot of good people that can come in and help us out. So I think building your network, if you're not an app voter or a dev,
if you're just a founder, just making sure you have that network of people that can come
in and help you with risk management.
Very cool.
Okay. One last question, please.
Sure. Go for it.
How do you plan to handle an unfortunate issue with Xbox?
You came muffled there again, right or die.
Can you try that again?
How do you plan to handle enforcing issues or setbacks?
Issues or setbacks?
Why doesn't Quack Life, can you take this one?
Answer his question.
Like, how do you plan to handle it um well you know as long as we're solid
in our community and we're strong with our team and we're strong in our convictions then you know
we can take on the world we can we can handle anything that comes at us and i did want to ask
answer a little bit of the first question you asked. For us, we're based in Solana.
And so a big challenge that we have is people are afraid in Solana. They're fearful.
We're trying to build trust in a system that has been lied to and screwed over continually.
And so to mitigate that, we're just following through with everything that we say we're going to do.
And over time, you know, that's the only way that we will build trust is when people see that we are doing what we say,
you know, what we said we were going to do.
Awesome.
Arcadian, did you want to follow up?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, definitely.
Ride or die, I got a question for you.
Yeah.
