Full Transcription
All right, we're just going to wait for people to join up.
Hello.
Hello, Chief.
I was going to say good morning, but I don't know.
I think it's afternoon we're here.
Yeah, it's afternoon.
It's 5 p.m. over here.
5 p.m.?
Oh, man, man, it's late.
Yeah, I remember the other day when you were still up, and I was thinking,
I was like, man, shouldn't you be in bed right now?
I know it's late, and you said like 6 a.m., and I was like, yeah, that's late or early.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, these days I have this trouble to, you know, sleep early because of the excitement,
but I'll get over it for sure.
Yeah, I'm usually generally a night person.
Like, I'd rather be up and go to bed, like, I don't know,
at least maybe go to bed by, like, 2 o'clock in the morning or so.
But, yeah, that doesn't happen when you're working a day job when you have to get up at 4.40 in the morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That sounds like me.
So, yeah, there's been a – man, I'll tell you what.
This bear market has been, like, the worst thing I've ever experienced.
It was way worse than the last one.
It is the longest one for sure.
Yeah, and it feels worse than that COVID crash in 2020 as well.
Like, I guess that was just so quick and swift.
Like, it just, you know, but this thing, it's been something else.
But, but, but, I won't say but, but it's like you guys, for one, just keep building and keep building.
And I think that's amazing.
Like, you guys haven't deviated from course.
You've just been taking your time and just doing everything that you guys said you wanted to do.
So, I think that's awesome.
That's why I believe in you guys.
You know, I've got so many OG penguins.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks for the support, man.
Thanks for the support.
You know, beers are hard.
But since this is the longest one, we actually struggled at some point.
That's why we come up with Penguin, Waddle, Royal Pass NFT.
The only reason why you wanted to do that is to, you know, collect the remaining funds.
And once we collect all the, you know, needed amount, the capital, then we immediately canceled it.
Actually, we, you know, permanently, you know, stopped the sale.
And we, I guess, we sold like 125 Royal Passes.
So, we are ready to go.
We, you know, launched our new website.
And I believe it is one of the best websites on Icon Blockchain.
We really worked on that, you know, project, the website.
And I hope you guys liked it.
You know, the comments are really amazing, which gave the team the needed motivation to move forward.
Now, we are getting ready to, you know, launch our DAP, the Penguin DAP.
And then the collection is coming.
I think our idea is to launch the DAP and then immediately begin the Penguin Zombie Waddle NFT collection, which has a supply of 2,500, specifically reserved for Icon Blockchain.
So, yeah.
Yeah, I'm looking.
I'm actually looking at your website now.
Finally, I got on the computer to check it out.
And, yeah, it's way more detailed than trying to look at it on my phone.
I mean, it's cool because it is like on the phone, you know, it's like a mobile, you know, version.
But it's like seeing it on the actual computer, like it's really cool.
Like I wish like phones and, you know, there's such small screens and it's just hard to fit everything like on a phone.
But it's like, man, people, like if anybody listening now, like if you got a computer and you haven't looked at it like on the computer yet, like go ahead and do so.
Because, yeah, it does look way, it looks awesome on the computer.
Yeah, yeah.
I wish there was a way to be able to do that on the phone.
But like I said, it still looks good on the phone.
But this just looks way awesome on here.
And, yeah, I was looking at that.
Yeah, you're in phase two and, yeah, the next thing that you have to go is to launch the DAB.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The DAB is coming.
So, yeah, that's why I'm like I'm kind of eager.
Do you want to go into that?
Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.
You know, first, I guess I need to explain what Penguin Bing is.
Penguin Bing is an NFT DAO specifically built for business related purposes.
So, basically, what we created is a, you know, fully decentralized company.
And our, this company, this decentralized company is, you know, actually designed for, you know, penguins to manage all the things, the investments and the developments.
For this manner, we have created our DAB and, you know, to, there are lots of, you know, parts of this project.
So, I guess it is better to explain each of them one by one.
So, Penguin Bing is built for development and investment activities.
All of our mints, our future mints, starting from Penguin Zombie Waddle NFT collection will be directly deposited into our, actually distributed among our vaults.
And, you know, our, our users, penguins, Penguin NFT owners will be protecting the fund, which, which makes this vault a collateral, collateral and finance manner.
So, you know, we are in a bear market and it's, we also strategically designed this project for, you know, to launch, to begin our launch in, in a bear market.
Because, you know, because, you know, let's say we are, we will do our mint for 200 ICX and exactly 100 ICX will be, will be, you know, deposited into our vaults as a collateral.
And then team, us, won't be able to spend that capital without the permission of our NFT owners.
And, as I said, what we create is a decentralized company and we use NFTs and we'll be using our future token, Penguin token, to create a gamified structure within.
So, basically, we have Penguin OG NFT collection, which works as game of, you know, not game of, like, like, board of directors of the company.
And then our Penguin wallet NFT collection, that part is reserved for, you know, investors and for marketing.
And we give, they give this role to specific, you know, role takers in the project.
And we, we will have our tokens in the future.
The Penguin token will be, most of the Penguin token will be mined by Penguin NFT holders.
And we also have C Penguin token, which is reserved for, specifically for the team.
You know, if we want to create a decentralized company, we have to create another structure for builders of the company, giving roles with them.
So, that is what we are doing at the moment.
And for, you know, why we chose Icon, because I really like Icon.
I have been, you know, holding ICX, you know, since 2018.
It was just after ICO, the ICX ICO.
And then I have been holding the token since then.
And then, you know, to contribute my ecosystem, I gathered my own team.
We are three co-founders.
One of us is our designer.
And the other one is dealing with our, you know, marketing campaigns, social interactions.
And I am the business developer.
You know, I have this experience from, my story is kind of different because I was working with another team, a DeFi project that focuses on real-world asset tokenization.
And then, you know, once that project is postponed, I immediately gathered my own team and wanted to contribute, you know, our part in Icon.
So, basically, this company is, we are creating this decentralized company.
And each NFT holders are, so, you know, holding shared power within the company.
And we are focusing on creating different revenue streams for these holders.
All the revenues inside Penguin Bank, generated inside Penguin Bank ecosystem, will be shared with our NFT holders on a daily basis.
And these are secondary market royalties, protocol interest revenue.
And we will launch our own node.
And this node rewards also distributed among our share power holders within the company.
And we have, we will do NFT floor tax.
It's a little finance thing.
So, I'll explain it later.
And about our node, you know, Icon, especially, specifically, CPS is, you know, works as there, there are many ideas and pre-reps gather and vote on those ideas.
If they manage to get specific vote and then that idea gets approved and then they begin, you know, they get their funds from CPS.
So, our Iconists, the Icon community have no power to, you know, you know, on the votings on CPS.
We want to change that.
We want to make Penguin Bank, you know, a community-based project in Icon.
And once we create our node, we want to integrate it into CPS and let our users automatically make decisions on CPS votings.
That's a different thing in Icon.
So, you're looking to eventually become a P-Rep?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah, because that's like, there's some gangsta-verse people in here, too, because I was going to talk about that a little bit later.
But it's cool how they do it.
They allow, like, the holders of whoever has Crown Token and has it staked, they can vote.
And they allow them to participate and vote on all the different CPS initiatives.
And a lot of that, they decided to do that.
It was kind of brought up, I believe part of it might have even been me, because back around Christmastime, there was something, I can't remember what it was exactly.
But I didn't like how the vote was going down for Alter and their redemption.
And a lot of the P-Rips were voting it down.
And I think Gangsta-verse was one of the ones to vote it down.
And I was kind of, I was a little disappointed in that, at that time.
And then they decided after that to actually let the holders vote and delegate.
And they've been doing it that way ever since.
And I thought that was amazing that they had decided to let the community do that.
Yeah, that's cool. That's pretty cool, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And so, and so it was like, just for, like, a very brief moment, I felt slightly wounded by Gangsta-verse.
But then they redeemed themselves, like, just, like, real quick, like, right after that.
And I've appreciated them, like, so much, like, since then.
And other than you guys, you guys and Gangsta-verse are probably the two projects I'm mostly invested in for the long haul.
I believe in both you guys, like, a lot.
I mean, I'm invested in other things, too.
But I would say you guys and Gangsta-verse are the two projects.
It's just, like, I think both of you guys are doing the right things.
And, yeah, so that's most of where my funds are currently, so.
Yeah, thanks for the support, man.
You know, you said you felt wounded.
Please don't because, you know, each team has their own reasoning.
If they didn't approve, I'm sure they have their own reasoning, own, you know, perspective.
But since they launched a, you know, platform like we want to do in the future,
which means they care about their communities, you know, communities, needings, perspective, you know, ideas.
So, in general, opinions.
And that's how it should be, in my opinion, as well.
Community should be more taking part and taking part in this kind of decision-making on Icon Blockchain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
Well, because we've had some bad actors.
I'm not going to name anybody.
But, yeah, we've had some projects.
And even P-REPs get CPS funds.
And then just nothing has come out of it.
And so it's just kind of disappointing.
You know, there's still this wait.
And they say, well, stuff's coming.
But then I'm like, well, where's the stuff at?
Like, and so, yeah, it's just – I'm glad, though, that, like, Eric Solomon and others,
I think, like, Scott Smiley, like, they've – because of these things that have happened with CPS
and people getting funds and not showing anything for it,
they've been trying to make a lot of changes to keep, you know, projects that get CPS funds accountable
and that they do what they say that they've set out to do and why they seek funding, you know, to begin with.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
So, all right.
So that was interesting, too.
Yeah, so your Powell, I want to just bring that up real quick.
Yeah, sure.
So, yeah, so, yeah, you were saying that this is actually a good time for your project to launch
because, like, the price – the prices of everything is just so down as well as ICX.
And so, like you were saying, for example, if you do your mint at 200 ICX, like, half of that,
so 100 ICX for every single mint is going to go in this Powell Vault,
which would then be used to grow the company for everybody, for all the holders.
Yeah.
And so, I don't know if this is how this is going to happen, but say this happens like this, right?
Like, I shared the other day in Studio Mirai Discord, I showed, like, a head-and-shoulders pattern on ICX,
and I was like, man, if this thing breaks down, it's going to be really bad.
Like, we're looking at maybe two, three-cent ICX, and some people are like, oh, that would never happen.
And I'm like, don't ever say never because I've heard that all the way through this bear market,
and every time somebody says Bitcoin's not going below $40K ever, I'm like, don't say that, please.
Like, and then it does.
And then it goes even farther lower.
But this is a great opportunity, though, because I said at the same time, I said, yeah, maybe ICX could break that low,
but it's in, like, a major falling wedge pattern, and falling wedge patterns eventually break bullish.
And I was saying, like, the measure move target for ICX would be, like, new all-time highs within the next couple years.
So ICX could continue to break down farther, lower, and to me, that's just a better time to get more ICX if it does.
And so with what you're doing, and if ICX, you know, because they're doing all these things that we've been waiting for years,
Xcall is about to launch, BTP is about to launch, all these amazing things are going on in ICX that we've been waiting for so long.
It's just, if ICX really is going to be this game changer, which I think it can and will,
then it's like, there's no reason why in the next bull market, maybe in the next couple years,
that ICX won't be 20, 30 bucks, possibly.
And all this is going to do, but the investors, like, in the Penguin Project, in the bank,
like, it's just going to set everybody up further for the long haul.
And I think that's amazing.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, collecting funds as, you know, collateral, we want to preserve the value we collect from our users.
Basically, if we preserve the half of the amount, half of the mint revenue inside our vault as a collateral,
then one day we can, you know, benefit from the value we hold inside our vaults.
Let's say ICX hits $10 per ICX token, then our, you know, company value goes up.
And then we can begin using, you know, the funds we have at that point,
which can make Penguin Bank a strong financial structure within the community.
So we are not after, you know, just taking USD base and, you know, making money for the team.
What we want to create is begin our journey in bear and, you know, collect the, you know, fruits in the bowl.
That's the main goal. And yeah, that's, that's a good point.
That's a good point. I really like, you know, you thinking about the future, how it can work.
It's great, man. It's great.
Yeah, because I went through the last bear market and that was pretty brutal too.
But, but like, I made some moves that, I don't know, like, like, for instance,
I had, I had like all this Cardano, I had like 350,000 Cardano and I bought it all like around five, six cents.
And then I was like, man, if I, if I would have held onto that, you know, when it peaked at three bucks,
and it was like, man, I could have been like a millionaire, but, but I, you know, I didn't know.
And, you know, things like that, you know, happened to me.
I sold it, I think at like seven or eight cents.
So I doubled my money at the time, but, or almost doubled my money.
But, but if I, you know, I was like, well, if I would have just held and, you know, then, then, then that would have happened.
But, but you can't, you can't ever like predict the future.
You know, you, I don't know, like sometimes you just, you just don't know what's going to happen.
And so I did, I, I personally didn't benefit a whole lot from this last bull market, but at the same time,
part of it though was just because I was, I was making stupid decisions with, with, with certain things.
And, and, and, and so that's what, that's what kind of messed me up.
And it, and it, it wasn't, it was just, you know, like sometimes you, you chase after these like meme coins and stuff.
Yeah.
And, and I did, I did some of that back in like 2021 and it's like, you always get wrecked.
And so I try to tell people, I'm like, don't, don't, don't chase meme coins.
Uh, you just, you just, you're more than likely you're just going to get wrecked.
Um, that's just from my personal experience.
You know, about this topic, about the future, uh, most of the users, you know, we are in a bear market.
Actually, we are, we are in the deepest point of it.
So people may think, let's say we are doing 200 ICX and people may think, why would I give 200 ICX to this NFT instead of, you know, holding the ICX and waiting for the future, um, to, you know, fix this.
This mentality, we come up with our floor tax.
It's a new concept on, you know, NFT sector.
Uh, basically, again, I will be talking about some financial terms and financial terms.
Basically, if you collect a portion of the fund and lock it as a collateral, then our NFTs also works as each of our NFTs has their own share power.
And if you connect these, these two dots, you can basically create the book value of a company, uh, which will be, you know, uh, Penguin Bing is more than just an NFT project.
And we have also implemented some DeFi perspective.
And once we found our book value, the Penguin Bing's book value, then we can immediately begin calculating our NFTs value.
And then NFT floor tax, uh, will be work like this.
If let's say a zombie Penguin has a book value of 1000 ICX.
And if the user wants to sell it below this value, then there will be a portion of tax, which we collected from the seller of this NFT and, you know, transfer it into our collateralized fund.
Which makes if a user sells it below its book price, then the company has now will have a bigger book value.
So I guess this also protects the value of our NFTs.
The users of ours, uh, won't be, you know, thinking about the future price of ICX because we're gonna, you know, protecting it for our NFTs.
Does it make sense?
So it's kind of, what's kind of like, uh, what's kind of like some of the, like, I don't know.
I kind of look at it too, like, you know, like, like just different tokens that have launched that have tax systems on it.
Like sometimes, you know, part of the, part of the tax will be like a percentage will go to burning the token.
A percentage will go to like putting it, putting it, like say, yeah, and there's some kind of vault, vault or doubt or something that, um, then can get distributed later.
Or a portion, uh, you know, might go to the team, uh, to help further, like keep funding the project, um, you know, you know, and stuff, stuff like that.
So, so I, I think like, like tax systems, if they're used properly, uh, can definitely, uh, bring, bring added value to, uh, uh, to, to, you know, either the coin or in this case, it would be, you know, the NFTs.
Uh, just, just, just kind of like, well, like frame, like frame has their, their tax on their frame token.
Um, and so I think it's, it's pretty, uh, I think it's, it's good, like how they have their, like their token set up.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
We are going to use a similar structure for our NFTs, for our NFTs.
Um, and to, you know, move forward, um, our team has no developers, um, as I said, we are all community member of ICON and we managed to create this cool project as, you know, just simple entrepreneurs.
Um, and we want to create a platform where others can do it as well.
So basically what we want to create is a fully developed business launchpad where our users create their own businesses, their collections, their company management by using our, you know, company management module.
Basically, as I said, I'm not a developer, but I will be managing Penguin Bank.
So I need an interface first, we were going to develop our interface for the team and improve it, uh, in the, you know, future, in the future, like we will see lots of use cases for it.
And then we always improve, improve, improve, improve, and in the end, we will let our NFT owners use this interface to launch our, launch their own businesses under the roof of Penguin Bank.
And then there will be other, there will be another, there will be another tech system on that matter, but it's way future.
So I just wanted to give you the overall idea, the business story of ours.
Every business has a story and this one is, you know, I guess our story.
Um, it is, there are ways actually, there are ways to build your own product on blockchain.
We managed to do it and we'll let others do it as well.
Yeah.
I see like, like I went under on your, on your website, I went under the, you know, the tool section and you, you know, you scroll to the bottom and it, and it talks about, um, how you got the expenditure model that the node that you already talked about, uh, running the node.
Um, on the icon, uh, then you got the, uh, discord bot, um, you got your management module, which says it's a company interface that's designed to provide management solutions for project managers on blockchain.
And you have like penguin brand, penguin brands here.
Um, first two is a business initiative program that empowers owners of penguin being NFT holders to establish their own businesses on blockchain.
You got the innovation hub, uh, which says a platform that connects different shared stakeholders of blockchain, including developers, auditors, entrepreneurs, and investors.
And then it is needed.
It is needed.
Penguin innovation hub, basically a innovation hub is needed because, you know, I struggled to find a developer in the past.
We luckily have framed, they, they did an incredible job on our, you know, website and that is coming, you will see their talents, but one developer is not enough.
So basically we need lots of developers who are, you know, using, using this innovation hub that we, we need auditors.
We need entrepreneurs and we need investors and if you, if you, you know, combine these four different parties, then basically you, you become an innovation hub where you can, you know, find a related person projects, you know, developers, uh, under the roof of single entity.
So that is one of our targets in the future.
Yes, it is needed.
Yeah, and then the last thing you got here is the, the launch pad plan for all-in-one toolkit for entrepreneurs to create their own blockchain businesses from scratch.
Yeah, it's, it's a, think it's like a full kit.
Uh, we have our power system, which also protects, uh, you know, protects the investors and give responsibility to the,
the team at the same time.
Um, we have the system, um, we have, we're, we're, we're going to build our penguin discord bot.
Um, it's, it's, it is also needed.
Let me give you an alpha about this.
Um, our collection penguin zombie waddle NFT collection includes different traits in it.
So let's say we have the third eye traits and there are a limited number for this trait and users who managed to got that trait will be able to read our penguin console, but cannot read, cannot write.
Um, and we also have different, uh, traits like this for, like, we have a neck traits.
Um, I don't want to give it its name.
I want it to be, you know, a surprise and users who got that traits will be able to, you know, enter the investment club with an discord club.
So we want to do is creating different departments within a company and let our users choose to, you know, which part to participate in our community.
And, you know, upon all of these, we, today, we, you know, send that to it, uh, you know, explaining, not explaining, giving an early alpha about PSPP.
PSPP refers for, refers to penguin Salesforce program and it will be ready before the mint begins.
Basically, our OG owners will be able to generate promotion codes using our depth and then share this promotion code through social media and contribute to the sales.
And by doing this, these users can give, you know, offer discounts to the, you know, mentors and earn a discount, uh, for their self for from earn a commission for their debt.
And, um, and it's going to be 5% discount for mentors and 5% commission for the OG holders and penguin zombie waddle will be the first case, but it won't be the last.
We have another collection in icon blockchain that our OG holders can also generate promotion codes and use it.
And this is actually cool because in a bear market, you know, there are traders, lots of traders in the, you know, craft ecosystem.
They are trading to get craft tokens, uh, to, we want to, you know, come up with another thing.
Basically, if you get an OG and then you believe in the idea of penguin bank, then you can promote it on social media and you can, you know, earn through our sales.
Okay.
So you said, um, I'm trying to try to remember what I was going to say.
Uh, so they can, yeah, I was going to, cause I was going to actually bring all this up and you just mentioned it, but I was going to say what, so is it another collection that you say that the OG holders can benefit from with their code?
Or was it, or was it, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, you know, uh, the first use case will be on penguin zombie waddle.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
And then there is another collection besides, you know, penguin zombie waddle.
It is not ours, but it's a project on icon blockchain.
So basically our OG owners will be able to create their own codes to participate in that project sales.
So this, so this is a project that it's not even been like, this is like brand new alpha.
Then it's just like a new project that's launching.
It's not, it's not, it's not a new project, but I'm not allowed to, you know, bring this up because we are still in the, you know, development phase.
You know, me, I don't announce anything before it is at least 90% built.
So once I see that, you know, improvement, and then we will immediately announce it.
Well, you know, I'm always trying to poke for any alpha before that 90%.
So, man, I can't say, you know, it's not, you know, anyways, I'm going to say it, it's going to be, it's going to be the, you know, Yeti Strong Club farms.
So basically our OG owners will be able to generate codes for that collection and participate over there and, you know, earn.
I had a, I had a, I had a feeling that that's what it was anyway, just because like, they're like your main partner.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, I figured it had to have been something to do with Framed and I figured it was probably the Yeti farms.
But no, that's, yeah, that's, no, that's, that's pretty awesome.
Yeah.
Because they're still going to be releasing a whole lot more farms here, here in the future.
You know, we are in a bear market and those who participate in these times are actually real blockchain people.
And it is time to, you know, help them also.
Penguin Bank won't earn anything for these two projects, but we are targeting to, you know, include, you know, include this concept to, you know, other project sales.
And that will be generating revenue streams for everyone, but including Penguin Bank, these two will be our trial run.
And it won't be a big percentage, but let's say it'll be better if just 1% goes to the bank, it'll be enough for us.
You know, what we want to do is to, you know, gather all the mines within Icon blockchain and then create value with this, you know, gathering and then just create a shared business economy, which is, which, which is only possible with blockchain, by the way.
And then Icon has a target of, you know, connecting communities.
We also do.
In order to connect communities, we need to first, you know, check other ecosystems and then interact with them, tell our story.
In order to do that, we want to, you know, as I said, gather core Iconists within our project.
We actually do have cool names, you know, who hold our OG penguins.
And, you know, once we have a, you know, enough, a sufficient base, and then we can move forward.
And, you know, for the second collection, our target is to launch in a Cosmos-based blockchain.
We love, we really love DYDX chain.
I'm not sure if you've heard of it.
It's a, it's a fully decentralized exchange.
They claim to be the fastest one in the sector.
And they are launching their own blockchain.
They are, since they are launching on Cosmos, they are basically integrated into IBC.
You know, Kraft is also, you know, expanding to Neutron, which will be connected to IBC as well.
So there is a potential correlation to, you know, there's a potential road for us to take.
And if we manage to do that, our second collection will be live on DYDX.
But in order, as I said, in order to take these steps, we need to create our fundamentals strong enough to move there.
And I guess that's what we are doing.
Everything is going great.
You know, you can, you can understand, you know, from the quality of our website.
That won't be no different.
And our collection is also, you know, I've seen it.
You guys didn't.
It is, it is the best collection on Icon Blockchain.
That is for sure.
So far, the collection is, you know, we have already created it.
And we are just testing.
We are in a testing phase.
And we have created 158 trades, which is the, again, I'm not sure I checked craft, but still I'm not sure.
I have to check.
I couldn't check all the collections, but I guess it is the biggest collection on Icon Blockchain, considering the trade number.
And also, we'll have 21 of one trades within the project, within the collection.
And there will be a gamified minting experience for our users.
They are cool.
So, we're, we're getting ready to, you know, announce our mint date soon.
But in order to do that, first, we need to make sure, 100%, make sure the collection is flawless.
And people are going to freak out, man.
It's, it's, it's, it's awesome.
You'll see.
Yeah, so I just looked up the DYDX.
So, you said that it's still on Testnet, and it's going to launch on Cosmos?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's correct.
I remember, I think I talked to you about it briefly in Discord the other day.
But no, that's, yeah, that's, that looks really cool.
Like, I got it pulled up.
I was kind of scrolling through it a little bit.
Yeah, I think, and I think you said that they want to, like, leverage, like, futures or something.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's, you know, it's specifically designed for futures markets.
So, how would that look?
How do you think that that's going to look, as far as what they're wanting to do?
You know, that the idea of DYDX is to, they have their own product, which is their decentralized exchange, but they are also creating a blockchain to, you know, you know, DYDX exchange will be connected to, will be working upon that blockchain.
But also, if you manage to create a project on that blockchain, you will be able to directly launch your own project on their exchange as well.
So, main idea is about this.
Have you, have you contacted them yet?
Nope, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet.
One step at a time, man.
One step at a time.
One step at a time.
It's not, it's not official.
We are, we are just chatting over here.
Well, well, yeah.
Well, one of the things I thought, too, that would be good for your second chain would even, even be like Neutron, for, for, for example, because that's specifically who Kraft is, is, is, is, is they trying to partner with now?
Yeah.
Well, they already are partnered with, but as far as what they're doing.
I mean, they, you know, there is, as I said, there is a potential connection, what they are doing.
So, we may benefit from it.
First, I need to see what Kraft is actually doing in, you know, connection-wise.
And then, if everything goes okay, then I guess there will be little additions for us to, you know, launch on DYDX.
But, again, we are just chatting.
We just need to figure it out, you know, how to launch over there.
But, as I said, we really love DYDX.
The reason, one of the reasons we want to go over there is to, you know, we are a investment-based company.
One of our fields of operations is investment.
And there is a huge potential for us to, you know, join their chain as well with Xcall.
And then, find other investments opportunities over there.
Yeah, one of the, as soon as, as soon as I found out Icon was trying to integrate into Cosmos and the Cosmos ecosystem.
And then, when I found out more and more about how they were going to use the Xcall side of things to do all this, I got, like, super excited.
Like, I just, I don't know.
I wasn't as excited with the Polka Dot thing, just to be honest.
I just heard, you know, it's just slow.
And I don't know.
But Cosmos, I just, I don't know.
I think Cosmos is where a lot of the, the really good development is happening, in my opinion.
Yeah, that's, that's a great chain.
That's a great chain.
And also, their IBC technology is also similar to, you know, BTP.
You know, BTP is launching this month, hopefully.
If not, I guess it is coming next month.
And, you know, there are a lot of similarities between what Icon is, you know, Icon wants to achieve and what Cosmos is already built.
So, it is, it is also logical for us to, you know, jump over there and see what others are doing.
You know, Icons, you know, Iconist vision should hold this, you know, mentality.
We need to interact with others.
We need to tell our story.
We need to explain what Icon is to others.
You know, if we want to see Icon, you know, hitting new all-time highs, you know, new projects built, building on Icon, we need this.
So, our community needs to, you know, have this mentality.
And Penguin Bank will be, you know, a pioneering environment for our, you know, for Iconist to, you know, benefits from this vision.
We need to gather first and then start invading other blockchains one by one.
That's our vision.
That's the Penguin Bank vision.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, I think, yeah, no, I totally agree 100%.
It's about building your communities and then going out and bringing other people in and as well as branching out to their communities.
I was going to say anybody that's listening to, if anybody wants to speak, just send me a request.
Just throwing that out there.
I'm going to start talking about Gangstaverse probably here in a couple minutes.
Actually, I'll briefly.
Yeah, sure, sure.
Before that, you know.
I was going to say I'll briefly bring them up right now, too, because, like, what they're doing, launching on base, because, you know, base is a new chain.
I mean, I guess it's like a, I think it's like a layer two, I believe.
Yeah, it's the layer, you know, layer two protocol of, you know, layer two blockchain of, I guess, Coinbase.
Yeah, and so Coinbase is, to me, that's, like, really bullish, just because, especially for us, like, for me, I'm in the United States.
And it's just, with the way the things are ran here with the SEC and our government, it's just, they're not friendly to crypto or blockchain.
Well, I don't know, maybe not, maybe I shouldn't put blockchain, but they're just not friendly to crypto in general for whatever reason.
I think it's about control, and they don't have as much control when people are able to control their own assets and their own, like, assets through, say, cryptocurrencies on blockchain.
Like, like, like, like, for example, I have two, I had three bank accounts.
I closed one of them just the other day, because they're charging me $15 a month just to have it open.
Blockchain isn't charging me $15 a month to have my assets sitting on the blockchain.
You know, you know what I mean?
And it's just, like, fees, like, to try to transfer money from, like, one bank account to another, they want to charge me, like, $10.
Um, my one bank account that I have direct deposit from my one job, they are now charging me $10 just for the deposit to go in my account.
Um, and so I'm looking to close that account, too.
And then I'll just have, I'll just have one bank account.
Um, because I opened up a new account with this other company, because they're not, they said, I was like, are you going to charge me these types of fees that these other accounts have been starting?
Trying to do and trying to do.
And they're like, no, we won't do that.
So I was like, all right, well, that's fine.
Like, if you guys aren't going to do that, then this is where I'm going to go.
And I just want to make sure.
Um, and so it's just, you know, it's, it's stuff like that.
Like, and then it takes like to send money from like one bank account to another.
Sometimes it takes three business days.
I'm like, I can send money on blockchain from like, like one chain to another or whatever.
And I can do it like in seconds or depending on what I'm doing, I might have to send assets from one place to another.
And then convert it and then send it from there to another.
And so then that might take me up to half an hour or something.
Um, and then sometimes when I've moved Bitcoin in the past, sometimes Bitcoin takes a while.
Um, but it, but it's still, it's still there.
And then I can verify it on the blockchain.
Like I can always go and check and see where's my transaction, where it's at, what is this doing?
Like, like through the banks, I'm like, I don't know what's going on.
And I'm like, why does it take three business days for me to send $500 from one account to the next?
And it's, and then like I said, and with fees and everything else, and it's just like, I don't, I don't like the banks that much anymore.
Like I like, I'd rather keep what I can on chain and keep it out of the hands of, of corporations and entities that I don't think necessarily have my best interest.
Yeah.
For me, you know, as a finance guy, I will definitely say in 10 years, most of the financial structure will be using blockchain because it is inevitable.
Um, I'm not saying, uh, these corporations will be launching their own, you know, projects on blockchain, but they will be using blockchain because it is easier, cheaper.
And, you know, it also eliminates the human default and mark my words in five to 10 years, most of the finance structure, including derivatives, you know, nodes,
everything will be placed on blockchain.
Well, that's the, yeah.
And that's the thing too.
Like it, it, it actually helps catch like, like say nefarious actors, like people that are trying to trade money through Bitcoin or whatever, like smuggling drugs or whatever.
Like, like, like, like, you know, the, the, the, the media or whatever, the mainstream media, whoever will say, Oh, Bitcoin's bad because that's what drug dealers use.
And I'm like, no, that's the dumbest thing drug dealers can use because that can be tracked and it's traceable.
Like, like the, no, I'm like cash is still the best way for nefarious actors to smuggle money.
It's not on the blockchain.
It's not Bitcoin.
Like that would be the stupidest way to do it.
You know, blockchain enables this, that track, you know, you cannot track cash, but you can track everything on blockchain.
That's a mis, you know, misperfection, misperspection of the, you know, um, you know, anti-crypto based people.
So blockchain is the solution for, for what we are experiencing at the moment.
Right.
And, and at the same time, I am about privacy and, and as well.
And so I still like cash for, for that aspect.
Um, but I know, I know everything's moving digital.
Um, I know everything is going to be moving eventually to CBDCs, um, how that's going to look.
I don't know.
Um, but I do, I do say that I want my privacy though, at the same time, but what I know from how governments do things.
And you can look at China as a prime example, when they launched their CBDC a few years ago, and now, you know, it's, it's all based on a social welfare program.
And if you don't meet their criteria of certain things, they won't let you go from point A to point B on a train or a plane or a boat or, or whatever.
Um, and so like that aspect of control, you know, I'm, I'm 100%, you know, against, I'm, I'm about freedom.
I'm about, you know, people should be allowed to do what, what they want to do and how they want to do it.
And, you know, as long as it's within reason as well, I'm not saying people should be trying to use cash to knock somebody off.
That's not what I'm saying, but, but I'm just saying just for your everyday, like purchases and life and how you want to live.
And it's like, I, I still want my privacy.
And so, you know, it's just like, I feel like we still have to like fight for that as the future, you know, keeps coming.
Um, because these, these government entities don't necessarily have our best interests in mind.
Um, I, I know they don't here in the States and, um, and, and so, um, but I, I like that I have control of my assets on the blockchain and, um, and anyway, but to see how, what the future entails, I don't know, but, but we still got at least like fight for our freedom to be able to transact and conduct in whatever way, shape and form that we choose.
Yeah, exactly.
The talk map, the chat, um, you know, for the listeners of these, uh, of this space, um, if you wanna, you know, get a chance to, you know, get your own freemint from our zombie NFT collection, um, please join our discord and, you know, send a screenshot in our quest channel.
So basically we're, we're, we're gonna perform, perform a ruffle.
And since we are a little people over here, your chance is pretty high.
So if you want, if you want it, you can try.
Yeah, we're early.
So yeah, everybody has a, everybody has a great chance.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Just join our discord and send a screenshot, screenshot, uh, in quest channel.
So do you, do you have, do you have a launch date estimate plan?
Are you thinking October?
Possibly?
Um, we are targeting, you know, we wanna do it in September.
Um, we just, you know, you know, giving dates in a bear market for a blockchain project is really hard because, you know, there are lots of things to, you know, you know, consider, but I say, uh, we'll be launching on September this month, but I cannot give you the exact date.
Um, well, we're on September 4th.
So, all right.
So that could be the next 26 days.
Potential.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
And that's, and this, that's, and this is another thing too, like this bear market has been, been really tough, but like between like what you guys have been doing and gangsta verse and what they've been doing.
Um, um, framed, um, framed, I mean, there's even alter, alter just came out with, with their, um, with their new collection.
I think what city, city of light, I think is the collection of what it's called on icon.
Um, I, I, I can't remember, but, uh, but yeah, just, just, you know, sometimes like, like people that like, I don't know that deal with tooling or like defy or whatever.
Like some, sometimes they don't understand like how important like NFT projects are.
Um, and it's like, without the NFT projects that have still been constantly building on icon.
Um, like I feel like icon would just be like a ghost town right now.
Like there's just like the, the, the, the NFT stuff is what keeping things going.
And I hope like people realize that like some of the, like I said, some developers and stuff, like I know I've just, I've read stuff and seen things in the past and, and like, you know, even dealing with CPS and NFT projects, trying to get funding through CPS.
Like I was very disappointed that Gangstaverse did not get funded, um, to be able to do their rental initiative to rent their NFTs out.
Like I thought that was not good.
And that was another example where, you know, P reps in mind, I just, I'm like, what are y'all thinking?
Like y'all still are constantly beating this drum that you think that NFT projects and NFT based, uh, P reps are not, I don't know.
I don't want to say that it's not the way to go, but sometimes I feel like they just, some P reps that are more doing the technical side of things and the tooling and all like,
they don't understand like how important the NFT ecosystem is and how they're, they are the ones that are carrying things along in this God awful, you know, bear market.
Um, but, but Gangstaverse, for example, they've just like, we're just going to keep pushing.
We're just going to keep building.
We will just eventually get back to that rental, uh, that NFT rental program initiative.
Um, and they've, they've still, they've, they mentioned it recently that they hope to do that soon.
Um, they hope to, you know, they just, they just did their staking, uh, you know, people that had gangsters or, or constables or, you know,
they could stake their NFTs and then, and then they could create 15 more, you know, to be used on the base blockchain, which, which, like I said, that's, that's, that's Gangstaverse, uh, broadening their horizons and, and, and moving to try to do things on other chains and other ecosystems to continue to grow.
And, um, and it's like, and, um, and it's, you know, what, what they did been doing has been great.
Like they, they've minted out their, their 150 slots, um, within like six hours.
Like I, I, I, I ended up staking two of, uh, of, of my NFTs.
Um, and, and yeah, I'm just, I'm, I'm looking forward to, to, to the future on, on the users on base.
They can play the game.
There's so there, I mean, there's several people listening right now that play, that play the game all the time.
I know Eric and Grimlock and, uh, and, uh, I know they play quite a bit Grimlock.
He's like a, he's like a OG golden key holder whale.
Like, like he saw the value on, on what these gen zero, uh, citizens are going to bring to the, to the city and to the ecosystem.
And, uh, you know, and he was taking advantage of, uh, you know, trying to get as many keys as he could for cheap prices.
And that's one thing that's good about bear markets is you can get things for cheap.
And that's when you try to build and try to accumulate, um, for the next, you know, bull market.
And, um, and, and, and that's, that's, that's what I, you know, I, I don't know, not financial advice, but, but I mean, that's, that's all you can do right now.
You just, you just build for the future plan for down the road.
And that's why I like what you guys are doing with penguin being too.
Like, this is for down the road.
Like you, you, you get in now and then you just, you grow and it takes time to grow.
It takes time to grow businesses.
Like, like multi-billion dollar companies don't happen overnight.
It takes time.
Sometimes it takes years.
And also it, it takes, you know, it's, you know, you have to make plenty of sacrifices, uh, for, you know, achieve that goal because it is really hard.
It is, it is not like, you know, traditional businesses.
Blockchain is very different.
Well, yeah.
And that's like, and that's like to the gangsta bet team.
They, they kind of gangsta verse, I should say.
Sometimes I still want to call it gangsta bet.
I'm so used to that.
Um, but they kind of put the wonder game project on hold and there's so many people upset about that.
And it's like, and it's like, I think they made the right move.
They, they, they, you know, you only have so much resources and money and they knew that they needed to try to allocate all their funds.
To finishing and getting gangsta verse going.
And then they can come back to wonder game later.
Like some people were saying they were like rugging the project.
And I'm like, they're not rugging the project.
They just putting it on hold.
Like, do you guys not listen?
Like, like they're going to come back to it later.
Like, it's like, just chill out.
Like, let them do what they need to do.
Because if they were to just try to continue doing both projects, then both projects could possibly like go under.
You know what I mean?
Like when you, sometimes when you have like, say three restaurants and one of those restaurants is not doing good.
But like, say you own the property, you can shut it down, try to get the other two going and being more profitable.
And then you can come back and focus back on that restaurant and what you need to do to get it going again.
And I don't know, some people, sometimes I feel like people don't understand how businesses need to work and how to make businesses run efficiently and effectively.
Yeah, maybe I was talking about this in Iconist's DAO channel on Icon Blockchain's official Discord server.
Maybe the communication would be, you know, would be done better.
But, you know, maybe the investors are scared of maybe the team is, you know, you know, the team won't be coming back to finish the product because it happens in blockchain.
These kind of things happen.
But, you know, in my opinion, maybe the communication, maybe, you know, would be made better in the past.
I don't, I have a little information about what's going over there.
I don't know the fundamentals, so it would be inappropriate for me to, you know, make comments on it.
But I'm just guessing upon, you know, what you are saying.
Like, yeah, yeah, no, no, right, right, precisely.
Well, I know, like, Halo, he's, he's, he's, I know, he was one of the main people over, you know, that was kind of doing the social media side of things, I believe, for them and whatnot.
I know he's a great guy, and I really respect him.
And, and, and yeah, I mean, I know people were kind of getting at him, and it's like, man, it's just, we're just, we're just, we're just put, it's just on hold right now.
Like, that's all I know.
Like, so anyway, but yeah, I believe they'll get back to Wonder Game.
And so, but like I said, you just, there's only so much, you know, money that can be used.
And, and I, I think they did the right move, focusing solely on Gangstaverse.
And, and I, it makes things exciting.
Like, like just everything they've been doing has been exciting.
And it's like, this bear market is so bad, but, but just, just, like I said, everybody building though.
Like what they're doing, you're doing, frames doing, alters doing.
Hey, I'm still looking for like a penguin hat or something from them.
So I'm just, just throwing that out there.
One day we'll make it.
Don't worry.
One day, one day.
But again, first things first.
Or, you know, a penguin jumper or something too.
Yeah, maybe, maybe.
Yeah, we do like a, I do like a penguin track suit or something, you know, like,
like a full on like body thing.
And then like at the top, like they can be like a penguin.
Yeah, that can happen as well.
Yeah.
That would be funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that'd be awesome.
But, but yeah, I don't know if, like I said, if anybody else, if anybody wants to come on and speak,
just, just let me know.
I'll probably end it here in a few minutes.
And I, you know, I, I work a lot and normally I'd be working right now, but luckily it's a holiday here in the States.
And the last time we had a holiday, which for us was Independence Day on July 4th, a couple months ago.
Like I did a space then too.
And so when I can, I still want to try to do these spaces.
I, you know, I can't do them weekly anymore.
Like I used to, I've, I've always had fun doing them.
Like this one was fun today.
And, and yeah, I mean, I'm just, I'm looking forward to the future of, of, of Penguin Project.
I'm looking forward to the future with Gangsterverse.
Like, so I think that's awesome.
They, they sold out all those 150 slots.
I got my two slots.
I thought about doing some more.
I was like, yeah, maybe I'll do it in the morning when I wake up and then I wake up and it's all sold out.
And I'm like, ah, well, nope, I guess I'm not doing that.
That's all right though.
I did the, I did the two that I wanted.
And, and then, like I said, I think that's, it's going to be amazing to see the users that are used on base.
And, and then, like I said, eventually when they get the, that, you know, they're going to have the, the slots opened up on Icon too.
So that like people can play, um, with those, like, say like it unlocked 15, you know, different NFTs on base.
It's supposed to be the same thing, similar, like on Icon too.
They plan on doing it as, as well.
I believe through the, um, I don't know if it's through the, well, they want to do the NFT rental thing too.
Um, and so I, like, I'm looking forward to that.
Like I said, it was just, it was, I was upset that they didn't get the funding through CPS, but, um, but that's all right.
Cause they're like, so they just keep, they keep doing what they got to do, um, to, to continue to push forward.
Um, hey, they, they, they did talk about too, on one of their episodes about bringing in like other communities into their city.
So we got to, uh, we got to have like a penguin, uh, being section in the, uh, in the gangsta verse.
First, I need to connect with them.
So, you know, maybe in the future, everything is possible.
We are on a blockchain journey.
So, yeah.
Yeah, no, that was, yeah, that would, that would, yeah, that would be, that would be, that would be amazing.
That, that would be great.
Like, yeah, like, I know they're, um, like I said, they're always busy and they, they, they, they just keep building.
Um, and, uh, like I said, I know they mentioned that.
I know they, they mentioned that, uh, they had brought up, like, they said, like, Tamashi or Studio Mariah or something.
I can't, I can't remember exactly.
And I remember I told Katara about it and, uh, and he's like, he was like, yeah, that sounds cool.
Um, but anyway, so, yeah, I, I just, I look forward to the future.
You know, I, I love Icon, the projects on Icon, uh, the community of Icon.
Um, you know, I, I see other communities kind of starting to, like, be bitter about, like, their, their, like, their chains and stuff, like, not doing good.
Um, and, uh, and it's like, I don't know.
I'm like, I'm like, we, we've already dealt with this a little bit over here.
So we, I'm like, how about you just pull up a chair?
Like, we are going to get through this.
It's going to take some time, but we will, we will all get through this together.
We'll, we'll, we'll come out stronger on the other side.
Um, I mean, I can't wait till Icon gets X call and, uh, BTP on the mainnet.
I don't, that's just, that's just so, I don't, I can't even fathom that we've been waiting so long for that.
I'm, I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah, I totally agree.
But they are both coming, so it's better to, you know, get ready for them.
How was your, I got, I still, I still haven't been able to listen to that Twitter space.
As you hosted, how was that?
Like, I did listen to like, like maybe five minutes of it on my break while I was working, but then I couldn't, you know, I couldn't listen anymore.
You know, I had no idea, you know, it was my first experience as a moderator and I really didn't know anything about being a moderator.
So it just, I just, you know, went with the flow, uh, but it was great.
Uh, Eric was there and, you know, Elise was there, David and Fez, you know, were there.
So basically we chat about, you know, how to implement X call, you know, how to market it, you know, with our community, the iconists.
Um, there were cool ideas.
I advise you to check it, but again, it was my first experience and the next one, I will be a lot better.
I'm sure of it because I understand the concept now.
Um, yeah.
I just, I just want to say, I love Fez.
Uh, I hope he goes back and hears this because maybe I don't, I don't know if Fez thinks that, that, that I, I care about him as much as I do.
Maybe, uh, just because, uh, like we, we've had our differences on a couple of things, but I love Fez.
I love that guy.
He, uh, yeah, he's, he's, he's a wonderful guy.
He's a wonderful guy.
Yeah, well, like I was, I don't, I don't even know if I want to bring it up.
It's, it's not a big deal, but, um, but I love Fez.
Like he, he means a lot to me.
Um, and, uh, and, and, and what he's doing over there with, with Paul and Blob of World and stuff.
I was a little skeptical of Blob of World at first.
And, and I, I just had a, I had an issue with something, but, but he came.
And, and he's, you know, he was like, he was like, look, he's like, I don't want you to be bitter.
Um, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to get you a blobble and you, you let me know how it is.
And so he let me test out a blobble and it's actually pretty cool.
So, um, I, I appreciate him doing that.
Um, he didn't have to.
And, uh, he's, he's, he's, he's a, he's a great guy.
He, he's definitely like one of the most, like, like one of the best community members in ICON.
And I just.
I totally agree.
Yeah.
He is great.
He's great.
He's great.
And also Blob is great too.
You know, uh, we are, we have also a blobble for Penguin Bank and we have been feeding it like, you know, 100 days and it's already, you know, we paid 60 bucks for a blobble.
And now we have somewhere around 75, um, you know, 75 BNUSD equivalent of, you know, their token BSD and things are going quite promising.
And, uh, their product is good.
Their concept is good.
I really like how they managed to, you know, come up with an idea.
So congrats to their team.
And that's my opinion.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
And then Paul, Paul, Paul as well.
He's, you know, he's, he's, he's what he's done, uh, as far as a lot of the BTP and X call stuff over the last like many months and what he's done to contribute to that.
Like, I, I greatly respect what, what he's been doing as well with that.
And, um, and I really love and appreciate that guy too.
Um, he may not know that, but I'm, I'm putting it out there now.
So y'all can tell him that I, that I said so.
And, and, and how he even came up with the whole blobble concept to begin with.
I think it's, it's, it's, it's pretty, pretty neat thing.
Like what, what he did trying to take like the Tamagotchi like concept from the 1990s and, and, and do it that way, which actually, you know what?
Dang, man, I need to feed my blobble.
I'm going to have to go.
I just realized I went past my feeding.
Um, it shouldn't, I, I mean, I still have time, but anyway, so, but, but anyway, do you have, you have any closing remarks chief that you want to say?
Any, any, any other, any, any other alpha that, that we haven't gone over, uh, anything you want to mention?
Nah, not for today, but you know, it's enough.
You know, it was a good chat talking to you always, and we should, you know, make this more often when you have free time.
Um, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know who, you know who I also love and appreciate?
Who?
Men.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would be great.
Yeah.
I need to, I still got to listen to the interview that he, that he came out with, you know, that, that, that they did last week.
I still got to go back and listen to that.
Like I'm so busy with work.
It's hard to, to catch up on everything, but, um, but yeah, I, I heard it was a really good interview.
I got to go back and listen to it.
To be honest, um, you know,
I'm still waiting for him to follow our social media accounts.
Um, he, you know, reposted some of our tweets in the past, but I'm waiting for him to hopefully follow us soon because simply we have been contributed, you know, contributing to Icon ecosystem.
Like, like, like it has been almost two years.
It's, it's definitely more than one and a half year.
And do you want me to send, you want me to send him a message?
He does.
He follows, he follows me.
He thought he follows me.
He actually retweeted this space yesterday.
And I, I mean, it made me, it made me super excited.
Yeah.
I've seen that.
I've seen that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe once he, you know, enters our new website, I'm sure he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll give a, you know, he'll, he'll give us a follow.
That's what he needs an OG, right?
Yeah.
I think he also, he also needs a, he needs a gangster or constable too.
I think, I don't think he has one of those either.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, I, I sent him a DM.
I, I've, I've DMed him sometimes on Twitter and he always responds to me when I do.
Um, I even tried to maybe, uh, set up an interview with him one time.
Uh, he just told me, he was like, yeah, just, he, he, he like just told me to like reach out to the, to the other people like Fez maybe and stuff.
And, and he could get back to me.
Um, so he seemed very open, open, you know, to, he'd be willing to talk to me, which I think is amazing.
Um, but I don't know, like I, I haven't tried to pursue that route though.
Um, I'm just so busy.
I'm just so busy working.
You don't have to write him just, you know, uh, he will follow us one day.
I'm sure.
I was, I sent him a message.
I'm like, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, go follow penguin.
Like you follow me.
It would, it would mean a, it'd mean a lot to chief penguin.
Oh, that's funny.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, I appreciate, appreciate you coming.
I appreciate everybody listening.
Go do what, what chief said a little while ago.
I think, uh, I think you screenshot this and go into discord and share it in the quests.
Channel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you'll be entered into when a penguin zombie.
Waddle NFT for free.
Yeah.
Waddle NFT for free.
Yeah.
All right.
Day also real quick.
Do you have an idea for your second collection?
Do you have like, like, do you already have that?
Like, cause the zombie is for this first one.
Do you have, do you have the second one already?
Like, of course we have a plan and there will be some sneak peeks in the collection, uh, in our
first collection, but, uh, I really cannot, you know, you know, give alpha for the second
collection, but everything is designed perfectly.
That's why we call it a gamified experience.
Um, you know, gamified mythic experience for our users.
There is a cool story.
Um, I cannot wait for you guys to, you know, see our collection.
You will be amazed.
I'm sure.
I'm sure.
That'd be kind of cool.
Like, like if you did some kind of cross, like between the zombie and whatever the new
collection is going to be like kind of putting them together somehow.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I'm just looking back over your website again, real quick.
Some of these images are really cool looking like the one with the banana on the head.
Yeah.
Those are some of the traits.
Yes.
There, there, there will be in the collection.
Yeah.
There's also one that had like, I don't know where it's at now though, but it had like tentacles
and stuff coming out of its arms.
It was, and it, oh yeah, it was like a cross between the, the, the badges and, and then
like, and then the, uh, the utility on top of the Ted.
I don't know where that's at, but right now it's, it's, it's on the collections page on
the bottom, but the collections page on the bottom.
Oh, you know what?
My computer's being slow and not wanting to load.
No problem.
No problem.
You, you can check it later.
Yeah, but some of the traits we used on our website will be also in the collection and,
you know, uh, for the, you know, uh, the one you talked about the penguin while the Royal
pass at traits, um, there will be 25 of them and those who got that traits and, you know,
in an NFT, um, it gives the same utility as the real penguin Royal pass NFT.
So it basically gives one free mint and two discounted mints on each edition of penguin
bottle NFT collection.
Oh, wow.
So that's some alpha then right there.
That's pretty cool.
Uh, and also for the closing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
No, cause I, I love that.
Like penguins, like, see, it's not loading on my computer now.
I don't know what the problem is, but, but, but no, like, that's like the coolest one that
I think I've, I've seen like on the websites, um, so far and then whatever other ones that
we haven't seen yet.
Oh, look, there they're now they're popping up.
Hold on.
Let me scroll down and look at it again.
There it is.
I should like save this and like put it on my, uh, put it on my Twitter or something.
So maybe I could, maybe I could tweet about it.
It'd be like, if you meant, meant one of, one of the ones with the badge on top with the
utility badge that you'll, it acts the same as the regular utility badge.
Yeah.
You can say that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can say that.
You can say that.
No, try to do that later today.
Um, all right, well, I'm all, I'm going to go, I'll let you go.
It's been almost an hour and a half.
Um, and so I appreciate you coming on and chatting and everybody, everybody listening.
A lot of you have been here pretty much the whole time.
I greatly appreciate that.
That means a lot to me as well.
And it lets me know that you actually care to listen to me ramble on and on and on and on.
No, there, there's amazing iconist in the community.
Everybody that's here listening, I recognize, um, and pretty much everybody here is in, is
in Penguin or Gangstaverse or both.
Um, and, um, and that's mostly what I talked about today.
Cause that was, those are like the two main things that are really going on at the moment.
But I will also throw this in there too with Alter.
Alter is doing a thing, um, where like their mint is reduced right now from 200 ICX, I believe,
to 175 ICX, and then they're also giving away 50 more like NFTs.
Um, and so anybody that mints for the rest of the month of September will then be entered
in to, there's, it'll be like a percentage depending on how many mints they get for this
month.
And then they'll divide that number into the 50 free mints.
And then, and then, so then like you can even get more free mints from Alter's new collection.
Um, like I said, just so many people doing so many things like all at once.
And this is a bear market and it's like usually bear markets, everybody's dead.
But like I said, the NFT projects are what's holding it down, especially on icon.
And that's why I mentioned it earlier that without you guys and Gangstaverse and Alter and,
and, and Framed and everybody else, uh, even Bobble World, like, like that's, what's keeping
things going.
And, and anyway, I just, I appreciate all the projects, you know, on, on icon, um, that are
just doing what they can do and to keep going.
So anyway, I will, I will let everybody go.
Thanks, man.
I know I've been saying, I've been saying that too, probably for like over a half an hour
now.
Yeah.
That's what I'm laughing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No problem for me, but you know, hopefully one day, at some point in the future, we can
hang out.
Hopefully we'll all, we could all hang out together.
Everybody here, all the other people that aren't, that aren't here right now.
Um, so anyway, um, anyway, have a great day.
Everybody, like I said, don't forget to enter into wind screenshot this and share it in quest
on penguins discord.
Um, when do you think you'll do the giveaway for that?
Um, probably tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
Okay.
All right.
So sounds good.
All right.
Everybody have a great day.
Thanks, man.
See you.
All right.
Yes, sir.
All right.
