My mind's not all there Used to carry a lot of dead weight like a pallbearer
People too scared to tell the truth so it's all dares
Counted it's all there and we all square Quick money I'm in and out
My dad used to use the snow bar till it's thinning out
But shit look at Dennis now All Stacey Adams and Lennon down.
More blessings with Sandy and him. More life.
My parents never got it right, but God bless them both. I think we all alike.
We all wide awake late at night. Thinking on what to change if we do get to do it twice in another life.
Scared to go to sleep now since being awake is what all my dreams were like
Back when the bar that I had set for myself
Was out of sight
Tell me how I went and did
Pin up some of the shit when I can't see it
Pin up some Megan Good and Pam Green
Soul Sisters
Inspire my old scriptures
Now that feeling's gone like them old pictures
Mixing liquor got us both twisted
Words get so vicious
You just stare at me while you roast Twitters
Girl I love you but I don me while you roast twitches,
girl I love you but I don't miss you, and no matter what year it is, I'm an old sixer,
go figure, cold niggas, stay in school man, fuck the rap game, it's all lies and it's all filthy,
2% of us rich and the rest of these niggas all milk it, got two of my niggas off for the not guilty, gave back to the city and never said it if I didn't live it. But still they try and tell you I'm not the realest. Like I'm some privileged kid and never sat through a prison visitor. Like it was just handed to me tied with a ribbon. I never worked to get it. But really it's you with all the drug dealer stories. It's gotta stop though. You made a couple chops and now you think you choppo. If you ask me though, you ain't lying in the trunk with kilos. You bagging weed, watching Pacino With all your niggas like this, what we need to be on

Retweet this space.
Until I find the way the only words I know that you know.
I've been hot since the birth of my son.
I remain unfazed, trust, worse, it's been done.
Man, fuck evaluation. Show me
personal funds. It's the pretty boys versus the petty boys. Sold that already. Got a whole new
set of toys. Shit is so surreal. Drizzy Drake, you better enjoy it. Nothing else bigger than the OVO
Letterman boys. Cashmere knits for the nighttime boat rides. Ollie got the first edition parked up
roadside. The only sign of struggling is coming from those guys.
I'm trying to just relate what I can see through my own eyes.
And nothing tell the truth like the highs will.
Live so much for others, don't remember how high I feel.
Friends are high places and friends that are high still.
Still manage to moonwalk straight through a minefield.
And then I come back to tell you how that feels.
Build this house for us all, paint in my back still
You niggas gassed up, you couldn't pay the
Champagne poetry
These are the effortless flows,osedly something else is controlling me
Under her pictures live some of the greatest quotes for me
Under me I see all the people that claim they over me
And above me I see nobody
I'd have to be dead for them to say that you took it from me
The 20% of you that we own is my tussie's money
Nigga I'm wildin' with your bread, you owe it to me
CJ grab racks out the bag and throw it to me I need you, I need you, I need you

I need to make you see Yeah Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah The city's on fire people and it's not charges being labeled we'll see what they do at trial
I'm calling this shit from now
Sweetheart deals that the judges been handed down. I haven't been able to see family for a while
That shit is wearing me out.
I used to hide my pain in Delilah behind the bar till my niggas tear me out.
And if money's all I need in my grave, then bury me now.
I know I tend to talk about how I got a fortune on me.
But with that comes a politics, the city been forcing on me.
Man, I can't even RIP and show my remorse to the homie.
Know I carry the guilt of the city's misfortunes on me. I even got the cleanest staff plotting extortion on me. Man, I can't even RIP and show my remorse to the homie. No, I carry the guilt of the
city's misfortunes on me. I even got the cleanest staff plotting extortion on me. My parents'
divorce is on me. My therapist's voice is making the choices for me. And I always censor myself
because no matter what they reporting on me, the pressure is weighing on me. Career is going great,
but now the rest of me is fading slowly. My soulmate somewhere out in the world just waiting on me.
My chef got a recipe for disaster baking slowly. My soulmate somewhere out in the world just waiting on me.
My chef got a recipe for disaster baking slowly.
My heart feels vacant and lonely.
But still, I'm making the most of this shit and more.
Every single move is like rolling dice on a board.
See too many brothers get 25 from the boys.
I'd rather see all of them get 25 from the Lord. and if the last negotiation made you pay me 25,
well this is the perfect time to give me 25 more.
I'm bigger now than before, co-parent of the year, we figured out a rapport.
No fair with Grizzly made on the second leg of the tour.
How can anybody tell you the truth when they misinformed?
How the niggas turning up when you turn you in for rewards?
How the f*** do we manage to win everything but awards windows of opportunity let me go through the doors this the part where i don't never say
pardon me anymore this the part where i'm gonna find a new part of me to explore this the part
where all my partners know what we in it for this the part where we gonna throw us a party after the
war and if the last negotiation had you feeling out of pocket, well, this is the perfect time that I empty them shits for door.
You owe that shit to the boy.

sort of circumstances so taking some time to touch grass refreshing
setting your mind right is super important dude and i love that you're doing that even though the
crypto market is shit in the bed right now the fives are always up here with the community
so happy friday to you my day is going pretty well lighting up some ice cream cake right now had a nice uh fettuccine italian uh meal

with all of you guys phoenix crypto what have you been doing to stay sane in this crazy time
outside of looking at the charts gm in the am fabuloso friday queen what's rocking what's
good morning good morning everyone here you caught me in the middle of a post I was trying to post under this space but I'll do that
later but happy to be here it's rainy here in Brooklyn but you know what the sun always shines
and it's always bright here for the doodle genetics community and yeah the market is tanking
but the thing is when you have a long-term vision, you don't worry about temporary things. And when you don't invest more than you can afford to lose, you don't worry about when
the market is tanking as well because you just have that money on the side.
You don't need it to live.
You don't need it to survive and pay mortgages or rent and buy food.
It's just there as a long-term investment and a long-term vision.
So yeah, I just focus on that. So I really don't care at all when the market tanks. So
that gives me, you know, so I have a lot of peace in that because I took those first two steps when
I invested. So it gives me the peace when things get a little shaky here and I read I
exercise I watch a few movies you know I love my my scary movies so I do that when you know
when the market is tanking and not looking so interesting and I know that you what else do you do when when the market when you want to
take your mind off the market i go for a swim and just float on my back literally just dive
into my pool and just float just soaking up the sun phoenix you have some really great things to
do and i think it's important you know everyone gets so tied up on just the market that if we don't look outside.
So, no, you're doing it right.
Reading, doing a whole bunch of stuff.
What about you, PowerD5, GM in the AM?
Top of the morning, dude.
Top of the morning, Phoenix.
Mike.
Market?
Market's going to do what it do you know i mean your boy out here working i do a little bit of draft king power play you know and i you know hit the gym
um but yeah market's gonna do you know do what it do um here at power defi i wish i could
if it wasn't recorded dude I would drop some alpha but because
You know, I can't say nothing yet. It is the big announcement a real real, you know big opportunity for power defy with this
partnership, but uh
Basically, it's a public trading company. I can't say the name of the company
But uh announcement will be here between this month
and next month um but yeah it's exciting i really just focusing on what we're doing here at power
defy getting ready to launch everything um uh website everything our stable token appreciation
token but just getting everything lined up on our end for this exciting news. But, yeah, market's going to do what it do.
So when it's red, I buy when there's dry powder.
So, yeah, man, I'm just tapping in.
What do you do when the market is down?
Shit, tune in and get monetized.
Tap in with the real ones.
Back to you, doodle.
Yo, the vibes are lit today baby i'm telling you charts
can be down but with doodle gen x the vibes are always high brother what are you doing outside
of trading and building just to stay sane bro um just i just continue to talk to people, you know, about just educating people about, you know, blockchain itself.
So, yeah, like, I'm saying, like, you know, the experience and, you know, coming back into the space, you know, me getting into a different market.
Like I said, my first NFTs and meme meme coins uh you know i'll never forget those
experiences and that night um but yeah for me your very first meme coin we just ran it up
as a community it was epic bro those are the moments that always keep you bullish and nostalgic
on web3 and i've had so many of those you lie bro from nft projects to meme tokens
to even you know kind of getting in early even with Solana bro I know a lot of people were buying
at the top but I just feel like there's always something exciting about web3 whether it's the
community whether it's new projects contributing the new tech. So staying busy isn't that hard for
myself. But outside of trading the charts and building and working in the industry, I like to
just go and chill on the beach, bro. I like to just, I feel like we spent so much time trying
to analyze and judge and speculate. I feel like our minds are overworking sometimes.
So I like to just go kick it at the beach.
Just relax.
I like to dive in the pool for a little bit.
I like to go for a cruise on the bike, you know, do things outside of
just, you know, market investments, because let's face it, you know,
unless you're unless you're
Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, we're not making millions of dollars every second of the day so if you are god bless you the little
the the few dollarini's we got i think they're pretty much invested or a lot of a lot of us know
where it's going to and if it it's not investment, that's okay.
But maybe next year or 2026,
this is the time to really see your opportunity
and make your move.
But I fucking love you, Eli.
And I always love hearing your voice
in the morning and in the space.
Man, what's up with the video, bro?
We're waiting for the video, the bike, man, the ride.
You know what I'm saying?
Yo, everyone's waiting to see the fucking
wheels, bro. Yo,
today on social media, on TikTok,
you're like, post it, post it.
I'm like, nah, nah, I'm not gonna post it.
Not gonna post it. I definitely
will drop a cool video with it.
But, um,
yeah, man, just having fun, bro.
It fucking glides, bro. I feel like I get
high and just float when I'm on that thing. It's amazing, Eli.
But good to see you as always, brother. Let's have a great space. Share it out. Welcome, everybody. Happy Friday.
Overall, the state of the market for the last three to four weeks, it really hasn't done a lot.
It's been pretty gloomy, but I wouldn't just take a look at the tabloids and all the red in the streets and think that there's not opportunities.
There's definitely opportunities.
And it kind of reminds me of 2021 where there was a massive shift, where Web3 was kind of reinventing itself and evolutionizing itself into what we kind of see today as more framework was laid but
power defi brought up a good point you know what was your first nft and what was your first
meme token and how did it give you a different perspective of crypto bro
so for me i mean one it allowed me to, you know, to implement, you know, you know, these different applications, you know, by leveraging, you know, digital assets with physical assets.
So that was the I learned I really, I mean, thanks to you, like I said, I'll never forget that night.
You know, I was a nobody coming in, you know, Tuesday night and just tuning into Doodle
space. I just felt the vibes. It was cool. But yeah, my
first meme coin, my first NFT, Doodle. But what
that allowed me to realize was like, like I said, when I
got in, in 2017, Doodle, the
total cryptocurrency at the time was like probably 15 000 different
cryptocurrencies so when i found out about solana you know i hear mean coins and i hear nfts you
know and they were doing lebron james dunks oh you know i mean i was just like i really didn't
understand it but when i came in that night and really understood, you know, what, you know, what this new market and this new, you know, trending, you know, NFTs, meme coins, it was just crazy to see the freaking cryptocurrency market go from $15,000.
Now it's like, what, $2.7 and counting.
But yeah, it allowed me to realize how, you know, easy it is to make gains, you know, based off speculation and, you know, just, you know, following, doing your research and stuff.
So learning how to leverage trade, just a lot of stuff I didn't do, I was able to learn because, you know, uh you know i found your space you know i did my
my research i listened and i you know i just implemented you know everything that you were
you know teaching us you know not just myself but everybody that was tuning in but uh yeah it
was a crazy time to see 40 turn into 7500 in less than 96 hours.
Yeah, that was mind blowing.
So like I'm having that same opportunity, you know, as with this, you know, public company that I was talking about.
I wish I could share the name, but to have that same opportunity now with, you know, a liquid asset, you know asset that is being traded right now in public,
it's like, okay, damn. I'm literally having that moment. It's like, this stock is like
anything. It's not even worth a dollar, guys. But again, it's just the opportunity,
the partnership, the collaboration that we're doing here with these Web 2 companies.
It's like it's no different than what we're doing here in Web 3.
It's just finding the right people, you know, right builders.
And if you guys are online, then we can make things happen.
But just to go back to what you're saying, my first meme coin, first NFT, yeah, came in.
You got so lucky you were with the right people brother you got so lucky
and my first nft was called the the solana doodle monkeys or something like this
i don't know it's really into the doodles as you can see my name is doodle so i got caught up
first nft ever bought i bought a fake one and then i went to the community like i bought one
they're like no man you got a fake one bro i was like oh are you telling me there's not a real rolex
not a real nft they're like yo it's a real nft but it's just the wrong collection, bro. I was like, oh, no.
So I went back.
It was a fake collection that got started when the mint was happening.
And a bunch of people that didn't know what NFTs were got fooled.
So I ended up buying the right NFT.
And I invested because I was buying the floor and things were dipping and whatnot.
About $50 to $150. because i was buying the floor and things were dipping and whatnot about 50 to 150 dollars
and it turned into like 5k in like seven days bro and i got hooked i got hooked on trading jpegs
and back then if you were early in the mint if you were grinding if you won a whitelist
this it was pretty easy to flip an nft bro think of it like buying a condo off of a builder by
it was pretty easy to flip an nft bro
having the money to get in early and when the mint would sell out and generally there was such a huge
craze for them they would sell out fast it would be really easy to just list it on the secondary
market because the internet would i mean it was a phenomenon that
was happening on the internet information would spread and there would be some people that just
got the news late not for any other reason but they just got the news late they weren't in the
circle they maybe weren't in the social circle of uh the community at that moment that they were minting but anyways long story short
it was pretty easy to flip nfts i turned about 50 into 5k in about seven days and i got hooked
then i got rugged a whole bunch i bought board a solana club which was my most expensive nft at
the time i spent a thousand dollars on a jpeg and it went instantly
down to like 390. and i was like oh my god i think i just got rugged i think i just lost all my bread
then it went back up to like 800 somebody wanted to buy it for what i paid for it and i was being
a little bit of a douche i'll be honest I asked if I could get a little bit more money.
And then they said no.
And then I ended up selling it for a loss.
It happens.
But I think those first initial encounters, especially if they're good ones, create a pretty lucrative perspective for a lot of people to enter web3
or to participate in web3 and if they can convert some wins quickly especially in the beginning
they kind of get hooked they get sent like hooked into sticking around i know that's how it happened
to me phoenix crypto do you remember i know you got thousands and thousands of NFTs,
but do you remember maybe one of your first NFTs
and how that interaction went?
Was it a positive one?
Was it a negative one?
Or any of the early positive ones
that you really remember as well too?
Love to hear it, Phoenix.
Yeah, actually, I have a great story about it because my first nft was really transformative and and was a big part of my journey which let me hear i was in another space an nft space it
had to have been like maybe 2019 or 2020 and i forgot the name of the host it might have
been no it wasn't scurpee it was someone else but anyway this artist came up and she had these
these cute axolotl nfts do you know what what an axolotl is. Yes, a dinosaur-shaped looking kind of eggy Pokemon.
They're like,
no, these cute little
reptilian lizard-like things.
They look cute, and they
have the little things,
tentacles sticking
out from the side, and I like them
also because they're
regenerative, and you know as a
phoenix, the phoenix is regenerative. So I
thought I liked that aspect of it. But the thing is, she sold out because I still wasn't that
savvy. And so my fingers weren't moving as fast back then. So she only had four and I think they
were on polygon and I had ETH and I was trying to convert.
And so by the time I was trying to figure everything out, they were sold out.
And I was happy for her but sad for me because I really wanted one of those axolotls.
And they were pixelated and they were very cute.
So what I did, I reached out to her and I was like, yeah, you you sold out but would you be able to just make me one personally I didn't know that I was you know I was still really new so I didn't know
that I was creating my own custom NFT and she was like sure I'll create one for you and she told me
the price and it was still like the same price as the other ones she had sold. And she was like, what do you want your axolotl to look like?
Because every axolotl had a theme, like some were captains, some were policemen.
And I was like, I would like to be an axolotl queen.
And so she made me into an axolotl queen.
And then I had like this nice necklace and a crown and everything.
And I had like this nice necklace and a crown and everything.
And when she posted about it, it was so funny too, because I was very low key on what was Twitter back then.
So I didn't make any posts or anything.
I don't know.
I felt like I was spying or something.
So when I saw my name, I was like, who is posting about me?
Like, who knows me to be posting? I was like, so like, I was like, who is posting about me? Like, who knows me to be posting?
I was like, so like, I was so shocked.
Who's doing that?
Yeah.
And so she, I'm sorry.
Yeah, you were so drawn back.
I was just saying, yeah, I agree.
Oh yeah, I did.
Yeah, I didn't hear.
Yeah, I was so flabbergasted that someone was like posting me, but then I saw it was
her thanking me for
buying her her NFT and I'm really glad actually that she did because you know that was a nice
gesture but then the people underneath were like congratulating her and that's when Jaya from
Kole Monster because he was a friend of hers and I think she's yet in Bali as well.
And when I saw his PFP, I was, you know, just so intrigued by those colorful little monsters that I just, I hadn't heard his voice.
I never saw him in a space.
Sorry, I had to clear my throat.
I never saw him in a space or anything, but I was just so captivated by his profile and everything and his art.
And he was an open sea.
And I just fell in love with his NFTs.
And so shortly after that, I became obsessed with Jaya and his Kale Monsters.
And so I was buying all of his NFTs and just having a great time.
And then when I saw Jaya one time, because I would see him in different spaces sometimes talking because we were following each other at the time.
But then one time I saw him in this space I had never heard of.
And so I followed him in there just to hear him talk because I had never heard him talk before.
So I just followed him in there just to hear what he was saying.
And guess whose face it was?
It was the doodogenic space.
And so I because all the other times I had been in spaces, I would stay for a while, but nothing really kept me there.
Nothing really kept me returning.
But it was just something about the vibe and the energy of you as the host and just the vibe and just the humor, the wisdom, the care that you had for all the people there.
It just kept me coming back every day to your space.
And so I have to thank Jaya for connecting me
with the Dual Jamest community
because through my love of his NFTs,
I found my forever community.
So that's my very long-winded story of my first NFT.
Round of applause, Phoenix. I need to give you a Grammy and an Oscar.
Same time.
A lot of gold, baby.
No, you're an absolute legend.
And I'm happy that there was a mutual friend, a cool monster named Jaya that connected us.
Phoenix has been nothing but a blessing.
Nothing short but a breath
of fresh air to have on your side, in your corner, in your community, to speak to, to interact with
so frequently. And we miss your presence when you're not up here co-hosting as well. So
happy to hear you today. So full of energy, full of cheer and those nostalgic moments keep us in web
three those nostalgic moments that and those magical moments when you find those great projects
those community members those real friends they keep you going when those charts don't look very
promising or the circumstance is a little bit rough or challenging.
So I'm happy that you're always supportive, Phoenix, and I'll always be in your corner,
no matter what you're doing.
And thank you for sharing that as well, too, because it inspires me that there are a lot of amazing moments, a lot of amazing people, even if they're not present all the time,
even if they're not present on a day-to-day or a weekly
basis we've still created uh an amazing connection an amazing touch point with so many people so
yeah I love it I absolutely love it and I think that the market will emerge I think that the tech
is still very early and I think that there's there's going to be a few market slumps in between
now but i think that there's so many great communities to be uh great community members
to be bullish on and uh that's what makes projects and communities so great the people that are

what you're looking for and y'all flip some dollar readings as well man what up king king
in the building that's what's up man you got me pumped up pablo dude do you remember your first
nfc by chance man i knew he was gonna I want to be honest. I don't even remember, dude.
Because you know what?
I'm going to be honest.
I love what he's doing now.
I'm going to be honest.
You know, I'm being honest.
You know why?
Because when I found out, it was, you know, back in...
I don't even know.
It was like 2018, 19.
And I was like, man, this thing is crazy.
But I never really paid much attention to it.
So I started picking up a few, I think probably like, man, it was probably OpenSea somewhere around, I would say 2021 maybe, I jumped on there and then I started picking a couple things on there, just for the hell of it, because I didn't really know what I was doing, I had no knowledge about no wallet, no nothing, man, I open C you know eventually I got there I don't even remember how but I don't
man I'm not I cannot recall but I can tell you that now I have a few and I
just you know I keep getting them and I keep saving them man because I like them
you know what I mean regardless of anything regardless of people what people
think and if it's dead or not it's not dead man
And I mean, you know once I found Solana then was over because now I have
several and I love
To match with the ones on Solana blockchain you already know I'm not I don't even have to say the
You know the place where I'm at but yeah just over there they have something that's called
legendary lock-in and you pick up a free piece every day so you know why not you know what i
mean that's what i do i love i love the art i love the the community that i have come across
your community you know uh the drip community and um just the people man i mean like we said
at the end of the day you know there's a real person behind these PFPs.
At least on the real ones, you know what I mean?
And I think the knowledge and the connection that we can make out here that we always make on a daily.
Matter of fact, yesterday you guys were talking about, you know, a lot of subjects that I was just listening in.
And the day before, Drip had a space that they were talking about retention and all this and they had a girl over
there I've you know and I'm not you know you know on pop is like you know that's
a lot of information but I started looking into it I'm actually gonna send
it to you so you can give me your take on it later on but it's pretty
interesting in this chick came over there talking about
Retention so I'm kind of like also, you know looking into that
See what I can do because she was talking about how they can bring
The commute whatever community that you're working on or if you have a community like how you know, they can
Help you out to grow so that sounded really
interesting because that's the next step where I'm taking with slum so you know
I'm saying and when you hear I mean you're a free professor out here so I'm
you know just picking up things that you guys be talking about here with precise
yesterday and you know you especially because you're on
all platforms and you know like you say all the time you you got to do you know
everything you can't just be focused on one on one on one spot and I'm always
moving around so I learned a lot from you guys just learning you know just
listening in a lot of times I don't even have to come up and speak
but i kind of put those two things together because you know jake was talking about
that whole thing with the creating the carriage you know you already know i love that idea
so everything that you guys you know talk about uh for me man it's like i feel like i graduate
every time i hear a space you know from
from you and from drip so you know follow the communities and if you find
the people that you can relate that you know I'm saying that that you see every
day with the consistence and and you know like you my brother you know I'm
saying it's like I don't even know man it just feels good to have people like
y'all around man
so you know big shout out to you as always big shout out to the whole community phoenix dr soey
king you know saying mike everybody man you know it's nothing but love from pablo so yeah man that's
what's up uh i'm about to get out of here so y'all can have some more people talking you feel me but
i love you all man you already know and know. And thanks for everything, man, you know what I'm saying?
Thanks, the man.
Let's go, Pablo.
I love hearing everybody's story of how they got into Web3
and which community and project they picked up first, fellas.
So appreciate you.
Get out of here.
Go and make some dollarinis.
Flip a pancake, likeablo always says an absolute
legend phoenix found her very first nfts and phoenix these are epic these are epic these are
like funny yeah they're so cute it's like finding your first jersey your first instrument like in
the case your first pokemon card that you ever bought you're like yo
it's history that's amazing i really like the colorful one on the right and i i know
you use that one so often in the past that was your pfp at one point
yeah that was my pfp i remember meeting you with that pP. Yeah, that was my PFP after I fell in love with Jaya's collection.
And that was initially my forever PFP.
But then, of course, I transitioned to the Doodle Bears.
But yeah, these two will always hold a special place in my heart.
No, those ones are epic, especially the other one.
The other one looks like a pixelated Pokemon,
which is super cool.
So I like that you snagged that one
and it resembles a lot of your current PFP
that you have right now.
So bringing back a little bit of the nostalgia
and I don't think that NFTs are going anywhere.
Yeah, NFTs are forever. They're like a part of art and art isn't going anywhere so NFTs aren't going anywhere.
That's my opinion.
And it's like I said earlier, it's the culture, it's the social aspect of crypto and the NFT community. And I think that there's moments that are created,
whether it's those 24-hour spaces or a degen mid-party, or maybe just a meme token that goes
from 7k to 7 million. It creates those nostalgic moments that people just never forget and it doesn't it's not like they're
chasing to recreate those moments but moments like those will be will reoccur for active people that
stay the course and i know that phoenix i know people from our community have done that so
yeah phoenix i always love to hear the amazing stories you have with the nfts sorry
there was a fucking it was a hussein bolt there on a bike just zip by me i can't get away from
the bikes phoenix not even in new york not even in thailand god damn they're following me funny
i thought you were in a motorcycle race side note i, I'm staying at Phoenix's house in Brooklyn throughout the summer.
And there's a badass loud motorcycle in the middle of the night at 3 a.m.
And then all I do is I wake up, I look out the window, and Phoenix hears me say,
It's always fucking something.
And it was so hilarious and it
was always something it was a car alarm a baby screaming you know it's yeah you're like who you
were like what the f is going on it's always something and we were just dying laughing
i was i was dying laughing because it was the middle of the night and I was just trying to
sleep. But in Brooklyn, everything is so like urbanized. Everything's so close to each other.
You can like fart in the washroom and two doors down, he heard you, Mike. You're like, shit.
Anyways, but that's just how Brooklyn and New York is, you know, it's tight space, urban environment.
just how brooklyn in new york is you know it's tight space urban environment let's say what's
up to all the ogs guys retweet this space and i want to hear about maybe your first nft or maybe
the first meme that got you hooked in give me a memorable moment let's say what's up to nikon then
we're going to say what's up to solely hit the request button come out hang out with us we're here for a good time
we're here for a long time what up nike and gm in the am brother how you doing
yeah gm gm dodo um it's always great to be here and good morning to rise afternoon on my end
so good afternoon to everyone at the space yeah um it's just a slow day over
here i'm just trying to finish up my um the course i'm actually taking i'm trying to finish up what
i have for the day then you know maybe step outside you know reset my head and actually touch
some grass for you man you know hang out with my peeps or something uh it's it's the beer market so
there isn't much to do out here in
the market i mean if you can't sleep while holding something then you shouldn't be holding it so i'm
just trying to take some off time as well yeah and um one my first nft i really i don't think it's
something i can actually forget man i i got the saudis um it was an nft
meeting on on and on it you know back then i think that was 2021 it was actually a freemint
yeah it was a freemint and i got in you know got the white list the hype back then for white list
well was very crazy you know the discord um grinds were kind of crazy
grinding for nfts like regulated as well i got it and you know it actually did well from floor
the floor price was actually um 800 to 900 dollars and that was like massive profit from a free mint that i just got the white list and minted you know it
minted out and sold close to 900 and that was a massive profit for i mean when i sold because i
was new in the space and you know trying to take every profit i could so i sold off but i think it
actually did a top of 1500 for those that actually held so that got me hooked and aside from that i just
yeah yeah yeah it's like you didn't i think i was
well now you just paid for the gas and now you got like a big nft that's amazing bro
you know yeah and you know nfc's just give this this close feeling you know out here in
web 3 it's more like everything is just black and white there is no so in the you know content
people put out there is no um warmth in it but nfc i feel like nfc's actually bring distance to Web3. It makes the whole space feel more fun, feel more vibe and, you know, fun.
So I don't think NFTs are leaving any time soon.
It's just, you know, going to, just like every cycle in the market,
it's going to always have its ups and downs.
But, I mean, the people who are actually here for what it really stands
are going to really keep appreciating what real art stands for.
Because that is basically what NFTs are.
You know, they are art.
So, we definitely keep appreciating art no matter the season.
Yeah.
No, I absolutely agree, brother. Do you think that those opportunities, you know, maybe a flip in those high ticket NFTs or even the free mint narratives, do you think that that will reemerge in 2026?
I think no narrative actually always leaves the market.
It's just that it might not be as hyped as it used to be,
but I believe every narrative will always be there.
So I'm definitely looking forward to NFTs, you know,
coming up with the whole framing to doing high ticket floor prices,
because I feel like recently there's been a buzz around nfts again that hasn't
been there you know for the past say one year and counting there hasn't been that much buzz but i
feel like it's coming back now so um i'm definitely looking at something different happening this year
yeah it's not just in in n NFTs, but in Web3 generally.
So I'm really looking forward to it, man.
I mean, the good old days were really fun.
And I would definitely want to see
something like that again.
I agree.
I think that there's always hidden gems.
I think that there's experiences
and cultural shifts that make nfts definitely popping
and even meme coins right we see them you know throughout the cycle go hot lose a little bit of
attention go hot lose a bit of attention maybe rotate but i think that there's a lot of dope
projects and a lot of dope people that have a big vision for Web3 and what it's meant to potentially be and some of the amazing things that you can do.
I've met developers at EAP Denver last year in 2025, February, that now they're coding directly for base and they're getting grants of a quarter million dollars US.
they're coding directly for base and they're getting grants of a quarter million dollars US.
You know, and they're people just like me and you, people that like to smoke weed,
people that dedicated their time to the market, people that tried to create solutions where they
saw they can contribute. And those are the real builders, not the people that are always
just the loudest and the most hype on the timeline,
the people that actually provide value and do something
in order to create those opportunities and those careers.
And for my friend Justin from D-Bros,
he's been now working with families and organizations
as big as the World Liberty Financial, wherever it's called,
Donald Trump and his family,
working with base,
coding directly for the blockchain.
So it's been exciting to see people's growth
and what the tech can actually do
and some of the opportunities
that actually are here.
But you have to go out and seek it.
And there's always going to be
an emerging tech within web3
whether it's marketplaces changes smart contracts um new 404 nfts there's going to be always hidden
gems and now every everyone's getting all hot up about the metaverse you know what's happening with
the virtual worlds people exploring them i don't see a massive spike of interest in all honesty, even with all the new things that are coming out.
And I'm not saying that to put any projects down or to deteriorate anybody from having fun and experiencing those virtual worlds.
I think they are, you know, entertaining.
I think they are definitely connected with new people.
But I think that it's still going to take many years we've seen the oculus we see the apple vision and it didn't
really catch the mainstream media and uh attention from consumers even though it was pretty popular
at certain moments but we'll have to see i i'm looking back at some
of the old nfts i have right now in my wallet some of them just make me smile phoenix some of
them just make me happy some of them just make me smile some of them just make me think what the
did i even buy but uh it is what it is it is what it. Let's say what's up to the one and only Dr. Soly.
Yo, talk to me, bro. What's up? Who said yo?
What up? What up? What up? How are you guys doing, man? GM in the AM.
GA in the PM. Yeah, man, I'm doing good, bro. Just enjoying Thailand.
Last couple of weeks before I head out but yeah man it's nice out here
in thailand man just enjoying thailand itself really going out a lot and uh yeah my first nft
bro my first nft was a doodle genic and i've never well i've looked further but to be honest
nine out of ten that i was looking out and my eye on the already rogue dollar not around anymore so
yeah man i'm just sticking with the doodle genics man for now with nft you know who knows there might be a
founder that you know connect with all that i trust that you know believe his vision i see his vision
really resonate with his art that are you know of course go out there and support i've got some more
nfts but the only ones i'm actually you know actively holding i'm busy with the community is dude or genics bro to be honest since day one since my whole nft journey so
to be honest bro i've never really sort of flips lfts that i you know like if i buy an
ft bro i just buy it because of the art you know it's not really uh i'd rather just flip memes or something bro
let's go solely no you got some nfts you got a few other ones i think myself and keith gifted you a few nfts what projects were there do you remember i've got a few crushlings. I've got like some ugly.
I've got a few warnings so I don't even know what the fuck I've got.
I bought a little when I'm teasing myself as well, but to be honest, I don't really
look at the floor prices or anything I've never.
Crushlings, trench apes, ugly apes. Fucking... First names, Trench Apes, Ugly Apes, fucking...
Sonic DNA.
What's that one from?
That's from...
Did you joints and I did you blinks them lot?
Got like five of them.
Yeah, man.
I'm not that deep into NFTs, to be honest but i just take my doodles
i'm good here i'm good here i've got my community i've got my people
you haven't experienced the crazy hype of flipping the men i wish people that got in like you know
in 2025 2024 saw some of that hype nfts used to sell out in like big collections too,
like 10,000, 7,000.
They would sell out in just minutes.
And ask Phoenix, you couldn't even load a fucking wallet
as fast as they would sell out.
Seriously, bro.
Here we go.
Oh, shit, it's on the floor.
Oh, shit, the floor price.
Like, bro, get the fucking ETH in your wallet, man.
Like, that's how it was, man.
People were pushing and shoving.
Yeah, you had to have your ETH ready.
You had to, if you needed to convert something, you needed to do it well before the drop or you were going to be out.
You were not only going to be out, you were going to buy the floor price at like 200% what the mint price was.
It was almost like that solely and if you got in by grinding on like a few of these white lists and got in early you could
make massive money now it's a little harder you could have made some good money flipping half an
eth on a macy when we called it out you know he knows did that a few times i know king of hearts is holding
one reckon has his macy there there's still opportunities but you got to be mindful of what
you're buying and got to know what you're buying as well too if you're buying an nft to make money
go buy some bitcoin if you're buying it because you like the utility you like the project you like the art that's a valid reason enough to spend a
little money and i bought an nft the the last actual bigger nft that i bought phoenix was one
of those dgen tunes and i bought it for 0.1 eth and it went up to 0.3 the floor right now so i'm
sitting pretty on that nft i'm i'm thinking about maybe putting that fish back onto the market baby
yeah that's some nice fillip bro yeah sorry my bad phoenix
oh no worries i was just gonna say i should have jumped in when you did
nah you do not want to copy trade me on NFTs. You know that.
You fucking know that.
Literally, I ran the community on buying one of these NFTs because it was a 10,000 mint and it sold out extremely fast.
And thank God I did because I instantly lost like 300 bucks.
So, yeah, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
But this one was a big winner.
And it even came with kind of two
nfts because there was a side image nft and high quality on openc you can toggle between which was
gangster part of my french because i am partly french canadian canadian
Canadian I'm fucking joking but yeah there was that was a good flip made point
two ETH point two ETH is like 400 bucks might have to list that one see where
it's at see if it's even worth you know listing but I'm always I'm always
getting shamed if I listed there like oh doodle Jennings you're on the fucking
floor I'm like no I'm not on the floor
I'm like four NFTs above the floor bro like what I can't make money it's because my name's doodle
Jenics I can't flip a fucking NFT I'm allowed to sell an NFT or two about like 4,000 of them right it's true i've raised more sons and daughters than ever no i'm just kidding just kidding
that's why you're called daddy that's why there's a shirt called daddy jenny
yeah solely just bought some art and he didn't have a shelf to put it on, so he decided to slap it on his body.
I didn't even get to see it yet.
I was on a video stream with him, but it was so fucking bright outside.
Sully, what piece of art did you get, man?
Yeah, man.
Got a nice little tattoo while I'm here.
Like, 777, but'm here. Like 777,
but like,
not just 777,

are twisting each other
into like a,
a formal art
with some stars around it.
Bro,
I can put,
I can put a nice picture
in the comments.
But yeah, man,
