Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. Radix Ecosystem Spotlight Thank you. Thank you. Now that song was awesome.
It's kind of similar to the one that ESM had in the background, right?
It did sound like it, actually.
I didn't think of that until just now when you said it.
How did you make it?
Suno. Who knows? So if everyone goes to the Apple App Store or Google Play and look for an app, it's like Sumo Wrestler, right?
But with an N instead of an M. And yeah, it's just an AI song generation thing.
I was messing around at work, having fun. So there you go.
Loved it. Yeah.
So we can hear you well. What about you, Clara? Say something
just to check. Okay. Let me check with her. Message. Oh, she just quit.
Uh-oh, she'll come back up.
Yeah, she's always-
Or she doesn't want to hang out with me.
That's all right, too.
I get it.
Like, she's always here.
The other day I asked her, do you spend your whole day here online? And she was like, yeah, it's a kind of a toxic relationship. I always want to come back. It's true.
But you know that you speak a lot with her, right?
Oh, yeah. No, absolutely. I think everyone speaks to her a lot. She's everywhere in the ecosystem. Very helpful.
Let me check.
Well, while we are figuring this out, everyone, welcome to the Radix Ecosystem Spotlight.
Please retweet the room. I'm sorry I'm playing the host role.
I'm a guest today. It feels weird.
I'm usually not a guest.
But yeah.
So we'll get the host up here in one second.
Or the co-host. All right, let's just, oh, she's in.
Let me check the speaking requests.
There you go.
Now she should be able to join us.
Excellent.
Hey there.
Say something to make sure we can hear you.
Okay, can you guys hear me now?
Yeah.
Okay, I was freaking out.
Hey, I'm back.
I was literally freaking out.
And I was talking the whole time when you guys were speaking at first,
not knowing that you guys even couldn't hear me.
So, yeah.
That's Twitter for you.
Or X.
Yeah.
I had to close two times, for it to work so really weird
okay so um let's kick things off uh hey radix family thanks for tuning in to another episode
of ecosystem spotlight where we highlight the builders the dreamers and the doors shaping the
radix ecosystem i'm farah your community liaison and host for today's journey.
And with me is Maria, my co-host, aka your intern, social media manager.
And guess what? We've got machines today.
So the brain is kind of behind not one initiative on Radix, but so many.
And that's what we're going to be digging in today.
It's not a chat that you want to miss
so today we'll be focusing on XRD Gen. Got any questions for the machinist or a project that
you'd like to get on the spotlight next? Please drop it in the comments or tag us on Telegram.
We are always listening. So machinist, you know I never knew your name until actually the blog that we posted
recently about you, about XRD Gen, dropped.
Well, did you think Machinist was my Christian name?
No, I just didn't know your real name.
Well, it's Ken.
My name is Ken.
It is.
Hi, Ken.
Hi. Barbie and Ken. It's a pleasure to meet you. Yes, yes.
That's the first thing that comes to mind.
So this week's guest is Ken, better known as obviously the machinist from XRD John.
Do we have Aaron here in the room?
No, actually, Aaron had an interview today that he could not move.
So he was really bummed out, actually, about it.
But he is here in dev spirit.
Okay, okay.
That's good to know.
It's fine.
Well, good luck to him.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's start off with a basic question.
What is XRDGen?
Hit us with the pitch that gets people hyped.
You have one minute.
I have one minute.
That's a tough question, especially for a guy who talks too much and makes a living out of it.
XRDGen is, well, XRDGen.com is part of XRDGen Labs.
And it is a NFT marketplace and launchpad on the Radix blockchain.
We have the first progressive and randomized mentor on this chain,
which actually wasn't very easy to do with the transaction manifest,
but Aaron is a wizard.
And yeah, I guess just real quick overview, that's XRDGen, right? If you want to
launch a collection, mint a collection, and have something that our real goal was to have something
that if you came from Magic Eden, if you came from OpenSea, you'd see something that you
recognized and intuitively knew how to use. Because above all else, it's an onboarding tool, right?
That is the main goal of XR Degen is to get more Dgens on this chain.
Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So let's go back, take a step back to talk about yourself.
So I know that you've been involved in different things,
started with Dan and the project Dan, I mean.
And then also you're hosting the Radix Review,
you and Felix, so shout out to Felix.
Of course, I can see him here in the crowd.
And so you've been involved in so much.
And you've recently also actually started a new project,
kind of part of XRD, DGEN Labs,
but it's still different and separate.
How did you get to know Radix?
How did you start with Radix?
What's the story behind all of this?
It's a long story and it's not it's not that exciting uh i in like 2000 or late 2000 early 2001 i found nfts and yeah i got really
hooked on crypto and started podcasting right never had telegram never had twitter nothing else
uh and needed a name right need an alias so
i was a machinist so i just picked that i didn't know i'd be stuck with it forever it was just the
first thing i thought of and uh yeah got started kind of learning how to do the podcasting and
the hosting and everything else on cardano i had a show called When Mint. We got a Web3 award in 2021. It's still the only
award-winning podcast on Cardano and just kind of learned everything over there about NFTs,
right? We had the largest community-raised charity donation ever by an NFT community on any chain.
Came from Paws for a Cause, a family run project, me
and my fiance and my daughter did. And I was just doing my Cardano thing, right? Like about a year
ago. And out of nowhere, I saw a post on X where somebody that I knew from Cardano had gotten
drained. There's no drains on Cardano, but they did something.
And they didn't DYOR and lost all their money.
And a bunch of Radix people reached out.
And I never heard of Radix.
No idea what it was.
So I looked into it.
And actually, FOMO Jim from the project FOMO reached out to me,
stayed on the phone with me for hours while I tried to figure out how to get XRD.
It's much easier now with the Astrolesson bridge.
And that was it.
I was just hooked, right?
We did a couple spaces and everyone seemed to love it.
And the tech here is, I mean, there's no match, right?
There is no other Radix. And I don't think there ever
will be. It's just a matter of time before it's the last one standing.
Before everyone actually realizes that as well.
Right.
Wow.
And then, oh, sorry, go ahead.
I'm just saying that you've only been here for a year and did all of this already.
So, wow.
I don't know what to even expect in the coming years from you.
Okay.
I don't either.
Yeah.
Well, I came from an ecosystem that's very...
The Radix ecosystem is still small, right?
It's still early.
Things that have been built a thousand times on other chains it's it's never been seen here right and because of scripto and how easy it is uh to build right
anyone can be a dev i could be a dev i can never be a dev on cardano right who wants to learn haskell
right i'm sorry i enjoy my sanity uh but i don't know we We just, we made Dan, right. Just as a meme coin to actually show what a true fair launch should look like.
Uh, and it broke a bunch of records.
It did really, really well.
Uh, and then we decided to give it some utility, right?
So it had its, its passive income side to it.
And in January, uh, to make it as decentralized as possible, I actually signed
over or signed over, gave away all over ownership of the project to the community. So there's a
council that was elected by community members and they run it now. There's even a constitution
for that project. So it is fully as decentralized as you can get, which kind of was the goal
with Dan. And then, I don't know, I've known Aaron for a while, right? And he's an amazing
dev. He's worked with, I mean, he's worked with Snoop Dogg. He's worked with Nike. He's
ridiculous. He should not be working with me. Yeah. No, Aaron, he is impressive.
not be working with me yeah no aaron is he is impressive uh and i love nfts so we decided to
make an nft launchpad and marketplace and then that was it
okay okay so that's a that's an incredible story actually So I thought it was boring because you said it's boring. But it's nothing close to being boring, man.
Okay.
So that's how you started.
I can't wait to hear more then.
I think Maria wanted to ask some questions as well.
Hey there.
So now we know how you started.
But can you also share why you built Enradix?
What inspired you to build En Radix instead of other chains?
Is it what you said before, only the good developer experience?
Is it something else on top of that?
I think that's a good question.
At first, it was because, like with Dan, I wanted to show a way to do something, how you have a fair pro rata token sale.
With XRD Gen, it's, I mean, with XRD Gen Labs, like CryptoRocket, we could have launched that on Cardano, minted them for 10 times the price, had 5x the quantity for the assets.
And with a platform like that, I probably could have sold it out in a day or two.
But that's not what it's about, right? It's about helping this ecosystem grow and showing cool
things. Radix is the future of Web3 and blockchain, right? and it lowers the barrier to entry for developers so much
it's like mind-blowing that it's i mean in a way it's kind of selfish too right like i want to build
here to help bring attention to the chain and make people notice right and have a marketplace that
looks like magic eden and have something that looks like CryptoRocket
to draw people over.
But at the same time, like we're early.
We are so early, right?
The people that are here now getting,
filling their bags with XRD and that are here now building,
there is a very good chance that in five years, 10 years, right?
They're going to be retired on a beach
somewhere or a glacier. I mean, whatever your style is, but retired nonetheless because of
Radix. Wow. And what is the most challenging part that, in your opinion, was the most challenging part of building
XRDB Gen. There has to be
something, right? I just
want to say something first. Whenever I hear
you, Machina, talking about
Radix and the future,
it just makes me so bullish. Man!
Come on!
Right? It's exciting! And if you
don't know what Radix is,
go to RadixDLlt.com right now and
stop wasting your life away in the gutter on some other chain seriously especially for the devs it's
life-changing yeah no absolutely and there were some things like like you asked marie that were
tough right like we had to get around for the mint, how the mint works
and how mints worked previously on Radix, right?
People would mint a collection
and basically just put them up on a marketplace, right?
Where anyone could go rifle through them
and pick what they want.
And that kind of takes the most fun part
of minting out of the process, right?
Because when you go to XRD Gen and you
mint, you click a mint button, you don't know what you're getting, right? You might get the
rarest asset in the collection, or you might just get a common, right? And have to go back in and
try again. It's like a Gumball machine, okay? And it makes rarity mean so much more because you don't have to be there first
to get the rarest asset. All you have to do is participate. And I think the trickiest thing with
XRD Gen was figuring out a way because with the transaction manifest, when you go to sign a
transaction, it shows you what you're signing for. So we had to figure out a way to mask not just the image,
but all of the metadata on the NFT so people can go in and snipe by looking at the transaction
manifest saying, oh, this isn't the one I want, and canceling the transaction and trying again.
So I think that was, at least for me, I thought it was the trickiest. Who knows? For Aaron, it was probably easy peasy.
But it's actually really cool.
Like right now, the pirate pups are minting over there.
And if you mint, you're not going to know what you're getting until a second transaction is pushed right after you're mint that reveals the actual metadata and artwork.
actual metadata and artwork.
I think that's the thing that most caught my attention as well.
So actually the random minting,
like even the creators that do the production
don't even know the rarest assets
until they're actually minted.
Which one?
So it guarantees.
We don't even know them.
Yeah.
On the back end, takes the csv file
that that people upload and we we even have no idea well their own collection what order they're
gonna come out in and that's a problem with nft mints right i've seen it a thousand times everyone
has if you if you've collected nfts on any other chain how does the founder always have like 10 of the most rare
assets in his wallet right always happens the team always has them that cannot happen on xrdgen
fairness is built in and we didn't just want to help creators we wanted to help the community
because if you see a mint on xrdgen Gen, you know it cannot be gamed.
That's a really good point.
Okay, so going further into actually features, could you elaborate more on like the main features of XRD Gen? How do they enhance the user experience for both the creators and the
collectors? So for users as well? Sure. Obviously, we took, oh, go ahead. Sorry.
No, yeah. No, I was just saying we just talked about the minting.
So what else can you tell us?
So, and with the minting,
one part of it is it's very easy to use, right?
In our docs, we have a CSV template that people can use.
It's very, very clear on how to do this.
You just fill in the fields you need to fill in and that's it.
You're done, right?
Super easy.
Another really cool feature is the royalty feature.
So if you launched any, and you don't have to mint with XRDJ, right?
This is good for any NFT collection, no matter where they minted, when they minted, whatever.
You go and you can actually claim your collection with the owner's badge.
If you don't have an owner's badge because it's an OG collection, that's okay.
Just reach out to us and we'll do it for you.
And you can customize your collection's landing page, set a custom URI for your project, and set up royalties.
And it's totally free to do this. You could
literally change your royalties a thousand times a day if you want. So it just helps projects that
even didn't launch with us. It helps them have another revenue stream for the project. And they
can use it for whatever they want. Maybe it just goes to the founder.
Maybe it's for buybacks, for a token they have.
Maybe it's, I don't know, giveaways, right?
But we give them those tools to make those decisions.
Sorry, I can't speak today.
It's weird being a guest.
This is strange.
I like it, but it's strange.
It's strange actually hosting you i feel the same
way it's so weird i was so nervous for this call because i feel like you're always the one that
actually should be should be the hosting you know so it feels awkward but be on the other side right go ahead oh sorry I think I lost
you for a second what'd you say I'm hooked up to Bluetooth here no we were
just saying that it's kind of weird having you on on the other side but it's
good yeah it is good and you guys do a great job um so no worries and
to be honest people say that a lot they say oh you're so good at hosting it's like i i wasn't
if you heard i think i still haven't saved maybe i should put one out there like the first
podcast i didn't even know what a podcast was literally i had to look it up i'm like oh it's
like a radio show like i'd never listened to one and I was horrible.
So bad.
But I did it.
No, it was bad.
I'm going to, you want to bet?
Yeah.
We'll use Delphi bets and we'll see, say if I was terrible or not.
And then I'll post it up maybe a week later.
We'll talk to Jonas.
But it's just practice, right. We'll talk to Jonas.
But it's just practice, right? If you want to do something, anything, you just do it.
And the more you accept yourself, the more people accept you.
Once I realized that I didn't care what people thought
about what I was saying anymore,
I got a thousand times better so quickly.
Just got to be yourself yourself right those are good tips
going back to xrdd gen um could you tell us what's the feature that makes xrdd gen different
differentiate itself from other nft marketplaces uh well it's XRDGen, just so you know.
I know there's an extra D somewhere out there.
Somebody put an extra D at some point.
It doesn't belong there, but that's okay.
So I guess with XRDGen, really still what puts it in kind of a,
I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for?
I don't know, in a different place from I'm looking for. Uh, uh, I don't know what a
different place from other marketplaces is the minting function, right? Because people come
from other chains and that's the goal right now in this ecosystem with a young ecosystem,
it's getting people on from other chains. If they're minting NFTs, that is what they expect.
I'd never seen a mint that wasn't a randomized, like one at a time, two at a time, three at a time mint.
So it's really just an onboarding tool.
And in the future, we have a ton of stuff planned.
I don't know if you want me to get into phase two yet
or hold that for a little bit,
but I actually haven't spoken to anyone about it before today please go ahead beautiful so let
me let me pull up my my doc so i make sure i don't miss anything here uh but we talked about
from the beginning and i think everyone realized right aaron is a beast when when he builds like he builds non-stop it's kind of insane in the first week
on xrd gen like so many things were improved and updated and he's still been working on all those
things uh behind the scenes so uh phase two is coming up and basically uh i'll just go through
the list here for you so first we're gonna have going to have a Drops UI for creators, right?
So if you come, you want to create a collection on XRD Gen,
you know how people make their own websites?
Maybe you don't want to use the XRD Gen homepage to mint your collection.
You can have a Drops UI that literally looks like your own webpage, right?
When people go to mint,
it doesn't look like you're minting on a marketplace.
We're going to have different mint options, right?
Like phases, maybe there's like an early bird phase
and with the different phases,
you can have different pricing.
You can have a whitelist.
So maybe your token holders, right?
Or your OGs or whatever, right?
If you want them to mint first
and you want them to mint first and you want them
to mint for a lower price, you'll be able to do that on XRD Gen. A big thing is going to be our
staking tool. So a lot of projects, obviously you staking, right? Fungible tokens, non-fungible
tokens, it doesn't matter, right? It's an amazing utility that most projects utilize if they can,
but there's a barrier because if you're not a dev or you don't have the money to pay someone
to design a website with staking functionality, you're kind of stuck. Now you'll be able to go
to XRDGen, mint your collection, have it set up for staking through our site right away,
and then you can actually use our same site, this all one interface,
to airdrop rewards, whatever they may be,
even if it's a token you need to create on our site,
to those staked holders.
It's actually really, really cool.
It's going to open up just an entire can of worms of utility in this ecosystem.
Okay, you got me excited about that a lot.
Good. Excellent.
We actually have a lot more.
That's about halfway through the list list but i figured i'd i'd
take a breath no continue continue well oh go ahead oh god we're both being too polite listen
step on me it's okay i talk too much i know i talk too much look at timon he knows i talk too much
so does beam uh so all right anyway so we have the airdrop functionality, right?
You can come mint your collection and literally that day you can have it set up so your holders can stake their NFTs right there.
You can actually, we'll have a token creation tool as well, right?
What if you're launching an NFT, you need to make a token to drop to them?
You know, it'll be a simple tool, but you'll be able to do all of that
in one place. We're also going to have media support for NFTs, right? So videos,
GIFs, sound, 3D files, right? If you want to mint an NFT that you could then use in augmented
reality, you can do that on XRD Gen. We're going to have an update to our portfolio for fungible tokens as well.
So when you're looking at your NFT portfolio, you can see your fungible tokens also.
And the NFT portfolio got people pretty excited when they first saw it.
Because finally, looking at live floor prices, you can see what your NFTs are worth.
And I think adding fungibles into that is going to be a pretty big deal.
We're going to have some little updates and things.
And there'll be some more subscription services, right, helping with promotion.
It's going to be fun.
We got a lot to do.
There's a lot to build. build oh and we have a token
coming out as well you have a token coming out interesting yes we we weren't going to have a
token at first because we don't believe that you a lot of people launch a token and then try to find
a use for it we wanted to find the use and then launch a token we had said in the beginning
that if we realized that hey this would be a good place for a token uh then we'd launch a token uh
so yeah dgen uh should be out probably in the next i don't want to give an exact date we'll say in the
next couple months but actually if you go to xrd Gen Rewards, we have a rewards section on the site as well, where every day you
can go in and collect points, right? If you list an NFT, you get points, you create a collection,
you get points, you complete profile, you get points. If you get up to a gold level,
once you get to gold, you qualify for the airdrop and at that point
however many points you have past gold right that's kind of decides how many tokens you end up getting
that was my next next question actually because i remember you said around i think a month ago
you announced that it's going to be you're going to talk about the rewards points in a space and
And I didn't see any follow-up announcement on that. So I was wondering what do users get from it?
Yeah, like a surprise
Yeah, we're out here. Let me see if I can find a post from XRD gen about the rewards
from xrd gen about the rewards do do do do do yeah here we go here all right let me put this
Do do do do do yeah
up top so everybody can see it it's so cool how you made gamified actually how you gamified it
that that's actually it i mean gamification is is a great thing right right? Anything in, in crypto people, keeping people's attention is tough,
right?
There's so many things going on,
right?
It's like every D gen has insane ADHD and they're at a carnival,
right?
Every time they're on X.
so gamification,
right?
And Aaron's actually a game developer before anything else.
So this is,
is his wheelhouse.
Uh, yeah. a game developer before anything else so this is is his wheelhouse uh it's his thing yeah so for now we're not gonna uh talk too much we're gonna release it in little bits right because engagement
is tough on radix it's a small community right yeah so in little bits we're gonna spread it out
we'll announce what the tokens used for i can say you'll be able to use it on our platforms. And anytime you do, a small percentage of it will be burned, right?
Constantly reducing the supply.
And we have a couple other things planned.
We haven't announced too much about the token other than it's a token, basically.
And what about the goal, the target? How would you define success for XRD Gen? I hope
I said it right this time. You did. Is it number of NFT collections, holders? Is it going to be
more towards the token now that you're looking forward to launching that?
token now that you're looking forward to launching that if i i think xrd gen has already been uh
a success and if everything blew oh thank you thank you thank you i'll be here all all week um
if if everything else just shut down all of a sudden we got hit by a sunspot
and all the computers went down and it
was wiped uh i'd still think it was a success but i i think i don't know being seeing people come
from other chains and create on radix because of xrd gen uh that is is really the goal. And we actually have that planned.
I don't think I've said this publicly yet, but a very good friend of mine, some people saw me post about him.
His name is Louis C. Rimes.
He used to launch music NFTs on Ethereum, has a huge following.
He's actually a teacher in Brooklynoklyn uh new york he's
an amazing amazing guy and an amazing artist uh he will actually be launching a collection on
radix uh over the next couple months and we're hoping to continue to bring these artists and
creators from other chains onto radix so their communities come with them.
That's awesome, Dehe. I did see a post where you were supporting him. So that's the reason. Okay,
okay. That's incredible. Speaking of which, how do you plan? How are you? What's your marketing strategy? Do you, I mean, in terms of getting people from outside the ecosystem? Like you said, as this guy, Lewis, like he gets actually his, his followers or people that like him with him being an artist. How do you plan get people let's say from cardano because i know
you were close to that ecosystem as well or you still are right i think that the most important
uh or i don't want to i'm looking for the right word but i don't know it uh the most important
thing anyone can have in this space is relationships and i I'm lucky that over the past four, five years,
right? I think it's been over five now. I don't know. It's all blur. It feels like ages in crypto,
right? I've made some really strong relationships and people know that I'm honest, right? It's why
I'm a broke content creator. You don't do content for five
years and stay broke unless you're way too honest. And I just go talk to these people and just tell
them about what I'm interested in now, right? I have a call with a big, big DeFi platform on
Cardano this Sunday to talk to them about getting people over, right? It's just everyone
has relationships. Utilize them, right? Tell people about it. That's all it takes. Tell people
about it. Post about it. Be loud about what you love and pump your own bags, right? People get,
everyone wants to sit back and I'm not saying anyone in this crowd, but usually in crypto, people just want to sit back. Yeah. And they wait for number go up, right?
Make number go up. And this community is, yeah, is stronger than any other one I've ever seen.
More resilient as well. Um, so with us, we just, we're just going to keep talking about it and
we're going to keep building and I'm going to keep reaching out to people I know. And I do need to, I work too damn
much. It's tough, but I got to start getting in more cross chain spaces. I get invites all the
time to join spaces over on Cardano and Bitcoin when runes first came out and inscriptions. Like I have a bunch of sub 1K inscriptions I made myself.
Like I know all of those guys and it's just, it's time to, right?
That's another thing, having a good balance.
It's easy to get burned out.
So I got to figure out how to do more without doing more, if that makes sense.
I know you were, you literally told me like 10 minutes before the space,
I just walked in the door.
So I know that you're literally hustling because you like this.
You like what you're doing.
And that's what's so motivating about it, you know,
because you're so passionate about what you do.
So I definitely encourage you to join other spaces because you have the connections.
So utilize them.
I will.
And I will ask everyone that's listening that if you don't have those connections yet,
it's just that they start with a simple conversation with someone that you have something
in common with, right? It starts in Telegram servers that you wouldn't normally be in, right?
It starts in Discord servers you wouldn't normally be in. If you see a cool project, right, it doesn't
have to be on Radix, right? Diversification's okay. Go talk to other communities and then
tell them about Radix, right?
And who knows, right?
Maybe they'll come over and check it out.
And then before you know it,
by reaching out and breaking out of the bubble that is Radix,
then you have a whole team, right?
A whole tribe that's willing to listen to you
and give whatever you're talking about a try.
Yeah, I totally agree totally okay we're gonna go to the second uh round which is the rapid fire fun questions oh god so we're gonna ask you we're gonna ask you two fun questions and marie do you
want to start yeah let's go okay so this one it's more of a prompt rather than a question
Okay
Finish the sentence in five years XRD Gen will be
Worth probably 15 million dollars
Conservatively conservatively
conservatively speaking of course
okay
one can only hope
100%
well if you believe in it
it's going to happen
you just have to start by believing in yourself
you got to manifest right
manifest it right there Manifest it, right there.
Which one is yours?
I can't hear you, Maria.
I was just asking, I'm curious, what's your fun question?
They're always so good.
Okay, I'm gonna go next.
Let's go.
What NFT collection or NFT do you secretly wish you owned oh
that's tough um
i don't know probably like a a board ape or something just so i could sell it
um because i was there when they launched and I didn't get one.
Yeah.
You didn't?
No, I didn't.
But that's okay.
So, well, when they were still cheap, I wasn't there at the Mint.
I wasn't much of an ETH guy, but somebody told me about it.
That happened to Pepe, too.
When that token came out, I was doing, uh, like little
YouTube shorts and stuff. And I talked about this token that pumped the day before, two days before,
and it went nuts. Right. And I said, Oh, it's over. You know, it's, it's, I'm not chasing the
pump. And if I would have bought those damn tokens, then I I'd be retired already. That's
happened so many times with so many different things but
you got to take the wins with the losses I guess yeah it is what it is but it does get one really
frustrated when you actually know or you have a feeling and then you and then you don't buy it spirals but yeah what can we do right so actually our last our last guest had a question for you
our guest was nelly from relic charts and her question was what which nft collection is your
favorite or what is your favorite nft style so in terms of let's say pixel art or or gifs what's your
favorite nft style i i think uh obviously my favorite collection as you can see by my pfp
is pirate pups minting right now on xrdgen.com sorry i had to say that um to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of, I mean, pixel art's cool, but I have some NFTs on Cardano that were like true art NFTs.
Like this guy would paint the picture, right?
Take a high def picture of his painting, destroy the painting, and then mint it on the blockchain, right?
And there's only one of each.
So it's true artwork.
And I love it.
Obviously, I'm a big utility guy, right?
Art for art is some people like it, some people don't, right?
The one nice thing about it is if it doesn't make you a million bucks, at least you can
still look at it and enjoy it.
It still looks nice. Yeah. but yeah so i i guess that's
it nice okay so our next guest in two weeks will actually be uh octo from from stabilis
what question would you ask him i think i think i think he's coming on Ranex Review next week as well.

I think it's next week.
Let's wait for a thumbs up from Felix.
From Felix.
We'll see.
Everyone just stare at Felix.
All right?
All right?
Anyway.
