Gm, Gm, gm, Gm, Gm, and welcome back to Phomo FM to absolutely everybody.
All the DJ ends up in this space, early mornin', late afternoon, early evening.
Appreciate you being here.
We got Rare, we got Rick, we got Osiria, we got Chai, we got Arda, Sarah, Raha, we got Nair, Jackie, Rima, Merlinda, we got Bibby, Nico, Archtra, Shireen, Crypto, Galad in the
first Friday of the new month as well too of February. I'm feeling excited and I'm grateful. There's a lot that's going on today. I've been reading on the timeline. Things are going to be claiming very soon with Portal. Things are going absolutely crazy with Jupiter on the Solana chain. And people are rolling out of the pond into the bacon. I'm not too sure what the flux is going on here today. But we will do a deep dive
unfortunately have failed. Unfortunately, the NFT community is at the all time low on interest. And people know the jig is up for us. All right, we're doomed. Brands and art and actual companies and individuals are the only ones keeping this circus act alive over here. And you guys artists, founders, creators, innovators are the ones that you know, web three is still going. It's still kicking because believe me, retail investors,
mass adoption, it all was a fucking lie to us. It's not coming. It's not coming anytime soon. We're stranded in the middle of the desert here with our NFTs, trying to find some utility and trying to find a narrative to make ourselves feel better. But art is something that's tangible, something that's been traded for thousands and thousands of years. If you ever been to one of my space, you hear me use as an example, the ancient Egyptians and the pyramids
with their high logrific, high logrifics can't even say that word this morning, high logrifics that they've had for thousands and thousands of years that are super ancient and super valuable. And I feel like the same provenance is happening here with NFTs. A lot of the artwork, a lot of these collections will be absolutely worthless, worthless, unless those individuals, those brands, those narratives keep on growing and keep on getting binger. So let's go around the room and say what's up to all of these amazing folks. If you just
tapped in right now, retweet the roof, NFTs have failed and art is ultimately the winner, baby. Let's fucking go. Let's say GM, GM to Sarah. Sarah, how are you feeling on this fabulous Friday? GM, GM, my friend, welcome to FOMO FM. What's up?
Hello, hello, dear Tony. Happy Friday. Thanks for inviting me as a speaker in this amazing space. Actually, I always like your space vibe. It gives me positive energy. I'm creating art as always, actually. Yes. What are you doing? What's up?
Today was a busy morning. I was trying to put out some fires in the back end. I had a space scheduled for six, and I wanted to do it so bad. But things kind of got caught up here. So, you know, better late than ever, as we say. So I'm happy to be here. Just poured up my second cup of coffee for the day, rolled up my first THC, my first gorilla finger. So I'm definitely enjoying the art. And just enjoying seeing different people's perspective here in web three, and what they're trying to make.
Make of it, what NFTs mean to them. What about you, Sarah? Have you picked up any NFTs recently that maybe you got disappointed in? Or you thought, you know, we're going to do something different, but ended up just kind of like, rugging you or those artists disappear?
Yes, actually, I'm not a college store. But sometimes I pick some words that I really resonate with them. And
but fortunately, some artists that I picked art from them are still active. You know, I'm not actually
the artists that I picked art from them actually began their journey. Not very, for example, a few years ago, they are newcomers, actually, I try to support my friends. And of course,
sometimes I try to support the collectors that, you know, collect my art. Sometimes I will collect my I will, I collect from them because actually, I really want to show them the support. I know the support is not always collecting from someone is, it is also showing respect and also
actually being respectful to each other. We can show our support with like retweets and actually showing our respects. And yes, that's it. I think also the consistency is very important in this journey.
You've been very fortunate, Sarah, because a lot of the art becomes e-liquid. And what that means is, you can't sell it, you can't really do anything with it and keep it. So absolutely understand where you're coming from. If you want to pin some of your art work and give us an update of what you're working on, I would love to hear it. And what makes you so bullish on the NFT art, we could be doing art in galleries and museums and exhibits on Instagram, on TikTok, on Instagram, on Instagram, on Instagram, on Instagram, on Instagram, on Instagram
on TikTok. But there's a reason why you're here on X. There's a reason why you chose NFTs. There's a reason why you chose to put your art on chain. Do you want to share that a little bit as well, too, as you're explaining your artwork?
Yes, actually, you know, I was thinking that even before NFTs, we were creating artworks. And, you know, a real artist never stopped the creation process, no matter what is the platform, it's a viral platform, or it's on NFTs. And, you know, the NFTs, actually, it actually give art work.
It actually give us motivation, especially as Iranian person, because, you know, we don't have a lot of opportunities to showing artworks around the world. So NFTs give us a very good opportunity to showing our artworks and sharing it with people around the world.
Yes, that's it. And if you mind, you tell me that I share my artwork.
Thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Actually, I recently joined the Solano platform, the Xchange Art, and I have two pieces there, and one of them is for Inktober,
a drawing that I created for the Inktober event. And the other one is the painting that I created for a visual contest, the Red Devils contest. And, you know, I really like the concept of this contest, the Red Devils, so dope.
And, yes, I minted it on Solano platform. Actually, you know, I think this Solano is a very useful platform for us. Actually, the gas fees are also low for artists, and, you know, the prices are reasonable, more reasonable than object.
And the piece I actually listed on Xchange Art is the name of the artist, Immortal Devil. And, you know, about the Red Devils that have been invited to a party. But this is not an ordinary party, actually. A special drink is served that gives them eternal life and makes them immortal.
Yes, that's the concept of my art work. It's available for zero to Solano and ten editions. And I'm actually still learning about the Solano platform. Yes, that's it. Thank you. Thank you, dear Tony, for giving me this opportunity.
Thank you, Sarah. I appreciate the artwork. You know, you got some really high quality stuff. I could see all the details within that this kind of like sexy devil here. I look at the wallpaper in the background. I see a lot of stuff, you know, embedded into the artwork. So really, really cool. You said a lot. And I kind of wanted to say something. But, ah, shit, it's too early. It's nine o'clock, nine fifteen. It's still too early. Let's just rerun it back.
All I hear is money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money. Here comes the money. That's all I hear. Solano. I hear, you know, art competitions. To me, it all just seems like money. So my question is, if you sold out your entire collection, what would you do with the money?
You know, actually, I already sold out a few of my pieces on objects. So I sold one of them. Every single piece you've ever created, you sold out today. I have a magical button and a wand. And you sold out. What are you doing with the cash?
You know, actually, I really, I always consider a specific person of my soul to college. Actually, it's not too much. But actually, whenever I sold out, actually, I, I, I spent
I spent a little of my money to collect from, from my supporters or maybe from my, from the artists that I really resonated their art on. Yes, that's it. I actually try to collect some artworks, of course.
You said you spend a little bit of your money on the artwork. I want to know about you. You buy art. And what else do you buy with your money? What else do you do with it? You're going to sell out your entire collection today. And you're not going to do anything with it. Just buy some more art. Doesn't seem, doesn't seem right. What would you do?
Actually, you know, actually it is not too much. Where does the big part of it go? Because, because the total of the money that I earned from it is not too much, actually. You know, actually, in my country, there are a lot of inflation, economic problems. And, you know, I didn't.
Tell me about the economy. What do you buy? Do you buy shoes? Do you buy lunch? I didn't buy anything because it's not too much. What do you do with it? Do you buy a coffee? You mean if I will be rich by NFTs? No, no, no. God, no. All right. When people sell their art, they can just be honest, right? It's for money. It's not for free. It's not for, for like doll hairs. It's for crypto, right?
Right. So people have the right to take their money and do whatever they want with it, right? If like, you know, when we sold out to Doodlegenic Collection, we hosted IRL parties. We did some giveaways. We did merchandise. We've upheld the platform. We've spent it on marketing. We bought a bunch of NFTs from our community and X platform.
So you said it in your words, your own words, you spent very little of the money that you earn on NFTs, a portion of it on like buying art. Where do you spend the rest of it? Are you holding it? Are you saving it? Are you investing it? Yes, of course.
For now, I decide to holding it because, you know, we are still, I guess we are still in bear market. And maybe if the market will be bullish and actually the cryptocurrencies will go on the peak and increase, maybe I can do something I want with it.
And yes, but I haven't decided yet that what I will do with the money. Yes, of course, I didn't mean that a little.
In projects, I'll give you examples here. In projects, that's one of the first things that people want to know. Where is their money going to?
Maybe, yes, maybe I spend my money to actually maybe make a new brand or maybe clothing. You know, I actually print my art words on the clothes and sell them maybe a clothes line. That's something like that. I really like doing this stuff.
Cool. Cool. I like that. Having a plan is super important. People that don't have a plan plan to fail. People that have a plan, even if the plan doesn't work out, they get a lot farther than the people that didn't have a plan. And it's evident. It shows.
Very much shows. It's like when someone's walking with an untied shoelace, you're like, does this guy even know if shoelace is untied, you know, he could trip. It's dangerous, right? We want to know that people have some direction and where they're going.
And one of the biggest things that I was saying, Sarah, is when we invest into PFP or PVP projects, we want to know what those founders or where they're allocating or what they're doing with the funds that
we're giving them, you know, because it's our hard earned money. We appreciate what they're doing. We appreciate the activity, the creativity. But we do want to know, right? That's why there's something called white papers. A lot of crypto tokens have white papers.
See, the problem is with these spaces is everybody can get into these spaces and some speak truths and a lot speak, you know, fiction. You know, it's not really the truth. It's kind of an exaggerated truth or it might not even be real entirely.
And the problem here with spaces is people with three gotten so lazy to actually do the research, actually go deeper into the blockchain.
Right. If you're an artist, it's great that, you know, switching coins and switching blockchains could bring you some more sales and some more viewership and some more demographics.
But if you don't really know what you're doing, you can make you could go out there and make a thousand dollars on Solano, which is probably like 10 soul and then get rubbed the very same day because you just don't know what's going on.
So like it's not just important to understand how to mint NFTs on chain. It's important to know what to do with your crypto as well, too, just like if you were going to make an investment.
It's important to know what the plan, what the strategy, what the objective, what the mission is, because there might be somebody in the room that has a lot more money than doodle genics, a lot more money than yourself, a lot more money than maybe anybody here and say, you know what?
I really understand that mission, that objective. I understand where the funds, the crypto, the actual money is going to and I want to write them a check.
I want to buy some of their art and I want to just, you know, amplify what they're doing a hundred X and it might not even be me.
It might be somebody that you just never expect somebody listen from it or somebody that just jumps on the speaker panel and says, hey, I heard your story and I bought some of your NFTs or I've invested into you, your community, your brand.
So it's important to have some sort of plan. Well, what we're going to do with the capital, you know, for us, a lot of it goes right back into reinvesting into the community, not necessarily buying NFTs, but growing the business.
And some of that is buying NFTs is the same. So I think it's just important to know. And don't beat around the bush. The quicker you could tell people, hey, this is what it is. This is what we're doing. This is what it is.
This is what it is. You don't want to beat around the bush and say, oh, my economy's bad. You know, I haven't worked a job in three years or 10 years.
Like, really, people want to invest in the art because they like it. They want to support it or they just have to have it. You know, it's a little bit of FOMO. No one needs digital JPEGs.
There's nothing that, you know, you can't do with physical art that maybe you could do with physical JPEGs. But I don't know, like, in terms of getting it printed.
And if you're an art admirer, where are you put in these things in a gallery to look at in a metaverse so you can spend more time out of your IRL admiring something that's digitally online?
I just think that a lot of people, you know, just should be straight, straight shooters, straight, honest. Like, it's OK to make money off of your NFTs and then do shit with it.
It's OK to take some of your money and take it offline. It's OK to do whatever the fuck you want with it. If you want to go and buy a thousand Barbies with it because you love Barbies and you're a collector, then go and do it.
Anybody could do whatever they want. And really, each consumer, each individual has an option, whether they want to support, whether they want to buy, whether they need that art, whether they don't.
And ultimately, NFTs, I think, have lost the providence of owning a doodle, not a doodle genics, but an Ethereum doodle, or even like a board ape is slowly fading before our eyes.
I remember Clonex being at 20 ETH. 20 ETH is like forty four, forty five hundred forty five thousand dollars compared to being like, you know, under an ETH.
It's just it's sad to see these things happen. NFTs are failing and the artists are really rising to that occasion.
And I think that when people are honest, when they're transparent, when they're telling people, hey, this is what I came here to do.
This is what I should sell out or I make a million sales, you know, people can understand and get behind those people a lot more quicker.
So, Sarah, I love your artwork. I love you. I think you're a phenomenal woman. I think you're a phenomenal artist. I love having you in this community.
I love knowing you and connecting. And I'm pretty sure I own at least one piece of your art. And if not, I think I'm going to have to snipe something here today.
But I'm pretty sure I have some of your art as well, too. So I appreciate you coming back. And I hope you do sell out and I hope you sell out quickly.
So you can do some fun shit with the with the crypto that you heard. So maybe go on a little trip, maybe buy some shoes, maybe wail out here in the NFT community, invest in some crypto.
You don't need to take all of it offline. But I think that, you know, rewarding yourself as a creator, as an individual is also pretty important.
So I appreciate you, Sarah.
Thank you. Thank you so, so much. You support me as always. And that's, you know, your space was the first space I participated in.
It's the first encounter is very important for newcomers. And I got the very positive vibe from the beginning.
And much love to you there, Tony. And I want to add this that, you know, when when someone says I'm not here for I'm not here for money, just for art, it's a lie.
You know, if someone, if an artist want to be a full time artist, actually expect that earn money from the arts, actually, you know, I really want to be also a full time artist and someday and earn money with my job.
Thank you, dear, Tony. Thank you for giving us this opportunity.
Just choking on the THC. Don't mind me.
So you're absolutely right. And people would just give away the art for free. So you're absolutely right.
People have to just be honest and genuine, or else we would see a lot more free art.
Sometimes we do see free mints. And I think that's pretty cool as well, too, to help on board people.
If you want to be an artist full time, try to leverage some of your creativity and your skills on platforms like Upwork, like Fiverr, like Freelancer.com.
And there's also a lot of like Play Store and iOS apps that you can download as well, too, that people are looking for gigs.
People are looking for like small digital designers or graphic artists or sometimes even coders, all sorts of cool stuff.
And I think it's an extra way that you can earn some passive income and excuse me, maybe do that kind of art and digital design full time.
So I wish the best for you.
Thank you. Unfortunately, all of the sites named are banned in my country, but yes, actually, we are hopeful.
Because we are under sanction. But we are trying to do our best. Yes, we are hopeful. Yes, someday.
All of these things are banned. I can't believe this.
What kind of world are we living in where people can access information that's publicly accessible for everybody on the Internet?
Damn. What if you wanted to move, Sarah? Say fuck this Internet connection sucks here.
I got to get the hell up out of here. I got to say sorry. Now until tomorrow, I'm getting out.
This is like prison break. If you ever saw that old TV show, no one fucking watches it.
But anyways, you know, what if you wanted to just say, screw this to hell with it. I'm getting some new Internet.
I'm going to France. I'm going to I don't know somewhere that you would want to go and live.
Well, like, is it possible or just maybe expensive?
Yes, actually, you know, a lot of my a lot of people in my country immigrate.
You know, there are a lot of high static statistics of immigration from Iran.
There are lots of graduated people from, you know, top universities in Iran.
And there are there are a lot of them also in U.S. and all around the world that I study in a very cool universities there also.
We have a pretty strong Iranian population here in Toronto and Canada as well, too.
So I definitely see that. Is it possible, though, like if you wanted to move, can you or is like people restricted?
Actually, you know, it's too expensive because of the inflation and also the price of dollar.
And our currency value is decreasing day by day because of the situation we have in Middle East.
But yes, I'm one of the people that I'm trying for immigrate to a better country.
I tried my best if the situation would not worse.
I tried to immigrate also to have a better job or situation. Yes.
All right. Well, Sarah, I wish you nothing but success and prosperity in 2020.
I hope that your dreams come true and more and more people see the value in this beautiful art.
Apologize for the mic issue.
Oh, we're going to keep it rocking. We're going to keep it popping.
Man, when Twitter rugs, they rug bad. You know, when technology fails, it feels like horribly.
But anyways, we are going and moving and grooving on this five year low.
So Friday, if you just happened in right now, retweet the room.
We got so many amazing OGs up here in this space from artists, the founders, the collectors, to just OGs and homies.
If you haven't already, look up, look down, try to find a few new people here today to support, whether it's the retweets,
whether it's picking up some of the art, whether it's shooting them a DM and just letting them know that they're appreciated.
All the love and the support that we receive here at DoodleGenics on a daily basis, it truly, truly means the world to us.
And we are truly grateful. So let's turn up together on this Friday flex, baby.
I want to see who's still active, who's still a real one, who's still creative or who's capitulated, baby.
What is going on, Ocearia?
It's a pleasure to have you here on this fabulous Ocearia, baby.
What is cooking good looking?
You know, that morning I see Dale and I asked him about the tradition.
You know, this Groundhog Day and 2nd of February in Canada.
I just totally forgot about the Groundhog as well, too.
I was like more focused on the fucking DGen coins and shit.
I forgot about the Groundhogs.
I didn't even leave any breadcrumbs out or wasn't throwing bread for the ducks either.
Usually we have like weird names.
They're always like the whitest, weirdest names I've ever heard.
Edgar the Groundhog comes up today, this little fat motherfucker.
He was just pigging out like a frigging horse, eating himself to death in his little burrow.
I don't know if Edgar saw his shadow or not or Henry saw a shadow or not.
We're going to have to find out.
How do we find out, Osiria?
I just was because I saw the movie about it.
That was one of my favorite movies.
You know that he must fix something and until it will be fixed, it will go over and over again.
The same day, the same groundhog jump and they wait and then it's all over again.
Honestly, Bill Murray, one of my favorite comedy actors, it's really nice because I was in Canada once.
But when I was there, it was a different season and about the winter.
You still have this tradition, showed it on TV and find a nice name for the creature
and believe that winter could be longer or shorter or something like that.
But like tradition, it's really cute.
I don't know why you prefer the bird.
Honestly, why do you prefer to create a collection with birds, not the groundhog?
We are at the top of the food chain.
We're snacking on a groundhog.
We eat wolves for breakfast and little foxes and coyotes.
We eat gooses and all sorts of other shit.
But you want me to be a groundhog?
Staying grounded and staying humble.
What kind of slogan would I even have?
No, I don't think it would appeal to anybody.
Maybe the ladies that think that it's cute or sheer, but Chachaka doesn't want to be a groundhog.
I don't even want to be a groundhog.
Rick Roland would take that fish out of his mouth and slap it on the floor if he was a groundhog.
He doesn't want to be a groundhog.
He's a fucking like, he's a one-on-one doodle bear.
You see these guys up here? See these gals up here?
You got a doodle as well, too.
You want to turn it into a groundhog? No.
I'm too high to be on the ground, bro.
What do you call the ninja turtles, not the groundhogs?
Yeah, we appreciate everything here in Canada.
What's your take on these NFTs?
Do you think that they own an investment aspect?
Do you think interest is coming back, or are we just wrecked right now looking at the charts?
We're at the all-time lows, and it's really looking like that the artists and the art is really the one that's winning.
A lot of the narratives, they're just failing badly.
You know, those fake and broken promises.
But what is standing true and what is prominent is the art, which I'm excited about.
Yes, I think for me, what I like, for me, it's like the opportunity to meet the new persons,
because I can travel right now, and maybe next, also, maybe more or less three years,
until I fix my documents, because I want to have European documents, passports,
and I must stay in Cyprus more than seven years and not leave even Ireland.
And it's really hard to trust me.
It's really hard, because before we traveled a lot, and right now you feel, I feel,
like a prisoner of the island, you know, you stay here and you couldn't move,
because if you move, they take out those days, and they need to leave here even longer.
And because my daughter go at school here, I think it could be nice to stay there until she finished their school.
And after then, she goes to university, we change the documents.
It could be the freedom for crossing the borders, observe the world,
travel in whatever you want, take a different job, put different rights for European citizens.
And after then, when we moved, immigrated, the first two years, it was the lockdown.
And after, it's just all this special operation and others.
But the nice way, and she bring me here, she said that, oh, look, NFT is really cool.
You could travel, you can see the different persons and also about cryptocurrency,
what we know, what we know that you could change it on fiat and have the real money
and you can avoid the transaction from the bank.
And honestly, for Russians, it's the way of escaping.
It's like, I'm not joking, it's really cool what has happened right now,
because to transfer money, it's a huge problem.
Okay, it's not easy, because it's rather, you must have the skills,
you must know how to change the money, how to transfer the money,
what is the wallet, how to protect your wallet.
And also, when you explain it, thank you so much.
You spent a lot of time to education, you know, it's like the Jorogon University,
we could say that it's the school of doodle.
Don't worry, I won't be like Andrew Tate, there's no coin coming.
But sometimes, you know, because it's the subject, the subject,
it's really interesting and for not native speakers,
you must have a lot of attention because for some easy, simple transactions,
if it's not exist from the first try, you can understood what you're doing wrong.
And sometimes it's just, I don't know, you need to approve something
or you need to just sign something or it's about connection,
but it's really difficult for me.
And thank you so much for your help.
Not only me, to all artists.
And when you said about profits, I don't think so that I have profits.
I just, right now, I think it's time to study how it works.
I invest to the project, which I like, for example, doodle.
I grab some unique PFP from the project, again, what I like.
I prefer to support person, which support me.
And I think it's logical because it's like, you know,
the right hand washes the left one.
It's like we help to each other, more or less.
It's not like David created the relationship, right?
But when you see how straight person is and it's hosting, for example,
collecting, create some interesting mood for the whole community in this court,
you think, okay, it's a brave soul.
I must to support this person.
And this is important for me.
And if I see the nice artwork or if I like the style, I also try to collect.
I think I got like 48 pages right now.
And through the artworks, you know, the person, for example,
I really like his style, what he's doing.
And from PFP project, they made this tiny whale.
And I think it was really nice because you collect the PFP because...
Have you seen tiny whale recently?
That's all I have to say.
The fuck's he worried about?
He's running off with the bag.
He took 100% of things offline.
I think that people should invest into things that they like.
People want to support the communities and the individuals that support them.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Love is payback with love.
It's definitely reciprocated.
When I see someone engaging with our tweets or our spaces or in our Discord or rocking
our IP and having a doodlegenic PFP, it means a lot to us.
There's motherfuckers like Richta and Chachakra and Phoenix that just never change them.
People know them by that PFP.
It's easy to distinguish them.
Anytime I see it on the timeline, I'm like, boom, that's the homie right there.
Sometimes artists go off track just like any founder, just like any other person.
Sometimes it's important to be brutally honest.
We're the fuckest tiny whales with our money right now.
He's probably having a nice margarita somewhere.
Just fucking grinding his face off.
But there's nothing wrong with it.
We're bozos for buying it.
So it is what it is, you know?
It's like I bought a shirt and now everyone's trying to shit on my shirt.
Like I just fucking bought this thing.
Can I enjoy it for a little bit?
Yes, maybe it's not Hugo Boss or Louis Vuitton or maybe even goddamn Prada.
It's fucking Walmart brand new, baby, you know?
And I will die in a white tee and just bury me in a white tee and I'll be happy as well.
So I don't need to go out in a fancy tuxedo or suit.
And I don't need to make more NFTs so I can buy more margaritas like tiny whales, you know?
Oshia, do you want to share some of your art?
Have you been making some stuff?
You're talking about love and I create the artwork for love because the next topic for Cactus Boom is love.
But I'm not minted it yet because I don't have the time.
Don't make me bring out the saxophone.
You know who's coming out after that.
I want to say just one thing.
Once I was in your space and I shared the artwork and you said to me, look, you got 100 pieces.
If you mentioned that you burn it, maybe you got the sails.
And they said, OK, I mentioned it.
And honestly, I burned a few.
But right now it's a salt.
And I just want to say that this artwork, which I'll write right now on Jumbotron, today I burn again on unsold pieces because I think it's a give.
If I could say this, it's like investment for all collectors with the most money for me because they could have the secondary sales after because I'm not planning to die.
I'm planning to go and promote myself.
Of course, maybe it's not so much, but I have a nice hope that it could be after maybe a few weeks.
Cool that you created for us.
Thank you for opportunity to speak.
And a happy groundhog day to all of us because it's a happy Friday.
By the way, happy Friday.
Only holidays in the front.
We could grab margarita and chillin.
In my case, I'm close to the knees.
Get the tequila out, everyone.
It is only 9.48 on the east coast.
Never too early to have fun.
My boy George was behind me.
He's like, yo, I got your saxophone here, Doodle.
Appreciate you coming up.
And it's always exciting to see some cool mix of mediums and AI.
So really cool to have you up here on the spaces.
Have yourself a phenomenal Fabuloso Friday.
And we got a special guest in the building.
What is going on on this fabulous Friday?
What's going on, everybody?
God, I just came here to enroll in the school of Doodle.
I heard it's the only place in Web 3 that you can actually make profits.
Based off of objective floor prices and where we've meant,
What is your floor price now?
And then after we're relaunching on ETH, we have a claim phase going on.
We got tied up in the third web shenanigans with some of the contracts in the breach.
It's going to be a free claim.
We re-optimized it to make it cheap.
But what's going on with you, Big Papa?
Pleasure to have you up here in this space.
NFTs are fucking fair, all right?
I think artists, brands, communities,
that's the only shot that we got coming out of this bear market.
And the narratives, yeah, the narratives of these coins
and these passive incomes and all the other bullshit was a fucking cabal.
It was guys on the other side of the screen saying,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, tell these motherfuckers, paperhanders,
fuck you, drink out of his shoe.
Diamond dick, Frank said.
I didn't even know that was a term track, though.
But Frank said it, diamond dick.
I was there listening to League yesterday and just, shit's getting crazy, bro, man.
Art is the only thing that I think has some provenance,
just like I always say, goes back to the ancient Egyptians
and their Hylogryph, Hylogryphlix.
Can't even say it fucking today.
But anyways, I think that, you know,
that's our only shot of coming out of this thing.
Appreciate you being here, Big Papa.
God, you know, I feel like there's another side of it.
Even if you want to go back to the ancient Mayan ruins,
you know, where they were cutting off the heads of their enemies
and they were playing soccer with it, right?
And I think that gaming in Web 3 is going to frickin' take off.
I do think that the NFT meta for PFPs and stuff,
I think that'll never die.
I think it's here to stay, but it might lose the spotlight for a good bit.
I think that gaming's really kind of taking hold of everything.
Nifty Island has been just badass.
Yo, I saw that video there.
You fucking shooting or somebody shooting something like...
Yo, how loud is it? Do you like it?
Is it so far? Is it fucking gravy?
It's more than you would expect from a Web 3 game.
You know, it's got everything that you would want out of a Web 2 game
and you get to play it with all of your closest Web 3 friends.
It's kind of perfect, you know? They're still working on it.
The only thing is it's on a computer. Stuck on a computer.
How many times in a day are you back at your house
and you've got a computer in front of you and you're like,
wow, you know, I have so much free time,
I need to fill it with something. There you go.
There's your way to kill some time.
I do it during meetings. Don't tell anybody.
My metaverse dev is right down there, Chitchaka.
He builds everything for us in Unity and 3D.
We have a nifty space coming along really well.
It's got some characters. He got updated.
We got a massive spatial as well, too,
that I think it's probably one of the biggest in Web 3.
And we have close to about 5,000 plays and visits.
And I think that the thing is it's still really fucking early
for 3D environments and just wearing the Oculus.
I also think that Nifty is going to do everything they possibly can
to make this an iOS app or a Google Play app.
So the future is fucking bright.
Well, here's the thing. Are you a big gamer?
I'm really not. Are you spending hours on this thing?
Are you collecting skins? Are you trying to get everybody's tokens?
I'm not a real big gamer, right?
But I downloaded this on launch day,
and I have like 650 airdrop points or something.
I've been freaking moving.
It's just addicting, and it's fun.
And especially what I've been loving doing is I've been starting spaces
and then shooting it out to a few of the nifty group chats.
And all of a sudden, you've got 30, 40, 50 people in a space
all playing on one island.
So then it pumps it to the top of the leaderboard
and everybody starts going to that island,
and it's really freaking sick.
And it's a lot of fun, especially if you have the human-human interaction
on the space, you're talking to the people
while you're absolutely just mermalating them in a deathmatch.
And I feel like that's got a lot of staying power
if you can create something that's fun without the airdrop stuff.
I mean, obviously, people are looking at it because of the airdrop,
but I honestly think people are playing it because it's fun.
I say, how does the airdrop work, boss?
I just figured out how to build and all that shit.
So you've got—sorry, I don't know what's going on on the 3rd this morning.
Basically, you've got different collector tiers.
So when you signed in with your wallet, you had to be holding .05 ETH
or one of the partner collections by the January 15th snapshot.
And if you did either of those things,
and they've got like 200 partner collections or something,
then you are eligible for the airdrop.
And then you go to the airdrop page on the actual webpage
and it shows you the different ways that you can earn points for the airdrop.
So referrals are one of the biggest ones.
You get like 50 points per referral.
You get 50 points if you buy something with bloom rewards.
I think you've got to have like—
I looked up murmured, and it says annihilated.
It means absolutely goddamn wrecked.
That's what the Urban Dictionary says right now.
But goddamn, y'all maybe missed my turn.
I got to pull some fancy shit here.
You know, you said your throat's itchy.
You know, it's Friday, bro.
Tell your boss that, you know, you don't own me.
You own my job, all right?
I'm the fucking owner operator of this fucking role.
Maybe you're self-employed.
And if that's the truth, just text yourself,
hey, I'm going to be five minutes late.
We got the farming seasons right around the corner.
So every year we got to get all the trailers serviced
prior to all of the other work starting.
So I'm just swapping out trailers.
We got seven trailers we got to get serviced
before we get going on stuff.
So I'm just swapping stuff out.
Are you in California and doing like a campus?
That's way more money, though.
No, I'm actually in Delaware.
And we do watermelons and sweet corn and stuff, yeah.
That's fucking dope, dude.
I want to start every single business I ever owned back in Delaware
and just relocate everything.
Do you have the lowest taxes of life?
Well, no one knows where you guys are.
If I need to drive there from Toronto or New York,
I'm like, where is this place?
And if you hit Maryland, you might have gone too far
or you might not be there yet.
The mechanics might just trade in the Canadian cold weather
and just move his ass down south like LeBron James
and take his ass to South Beach, baby.
Or at least the fucking Vegas with Keith.
But I like that you're up here, Tractor.
What's going on with the sappies?
Let's take a little second.
I just was taking a look at some of the gameplay again.
I think it's just so fucking cool.
I just love violence in video games.
Unfortunately, that's what attracts me.
The fact that, you know, we can't go out there
and just punch Rick Roland in his mouth
and he can't just slap me with this fish in my eye
and then just like steal my crown
and start bashing me over the head with it.
Like, we got to do these in video games
and we don't have any criminal records.
We all want to travel, right?
We all want to leave Canada and get into Canada
at some point or another.
But what's going on with the sappie seals?
Do we need to get indicated up for anything?
Dude, frickin' Pixel has been on a rip.
and it's just been moving.
What is it about this token?
To me, it seems like an ecosystem token
But I think like all tokens, they have their times
and maybe they get hot and they get cold,
kind of like dust, kind of like...
There's more to this one though
because it's actually a gaming ecosystem token.
So the Pixelverse is in...
I think Alpha Stage, they said,
should be going to beta soon.
So you've got some time until the Pixelverse is live,
but that's going to be huge
and there's going to be a lot of different ways,
a lot of different like syncs for the token,
There's going to be a play to airdrop mechanic
so that people can earn the token.
So I think that there's definitely a lot of ways
that that's going to kind of kick it into high gear,
but it's not a bad time to accumulate.
The best time was six months ago
when everybody said it was worthless and it was.
The next best time is now before it jumps.
Interesting, interesting.
I haven't read the white papers on this
they kind of traded up some of their seals
to get some other stuff that just never really panned out,
like maybe invested into fucking youths
I sold a seal and bought a youth.
Hey, I actually got to jump off.
I got to talk to the trailer guy real quick.
Trakto, we fucking got you, big pop.
Much love to you, my guy.
Thank you for dropping in.
Show him some love on his way out.
Yeah, I think it's difficult to be in those PFP projects
and what people are actually collecting right now.
So fucking whether it's the youths, the sappies,
just be mindful of where you're, you know,
parking some eath, parking some soul.
It's difficult to see these things,
really see that, you know, next bracket and floor price.
They got to be intuitive.
They got to be connecting and massively onboarding people
on a daily basis or else just absolutely just never happens.
We have Rick rolling the building.
Oh, he's super early in the morning trading,
Web three vibes, what is going on, Rick?
Pleasure to have you in the space.
We'll spark that up first.
Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
So, yeah, crypto trading, man.
I've been all over bird eye following the new Solana.
Ever since the Solana trading opened up there.
Man, I'm really liking it.
I'm really loving the platform.
I can read the captions and I see the tweets turning one Solana
into two brick by brick, baby.
Most stocks, most investments don't do that in not even five years.
So consider yourself on top of your shit right now.
But it is sometimes nice to get those waves.
The only thing is, is sometimes when we get rugged or when we get,
you know, annihilated, we want to run it back.
And unfortunately, that's when those issues occur.
We want to do it in supersonic speed and things just fuck up
because we think we know what we're doing now because we've had
some successful trades and things can go really kind of south quickly
or kind of just take your money and just kind of sit there for a long time.
If you see profit, have a way to scale in and out of these things.
I think it's dope that we're inspiring.
I want to be like that individual that just gets remembered
for onboarding so many motherfuckers, so many businesses up here
and fucking web three from web two into web three that like you're like,
damn, he's a fucking go like Mount Rushmore.
He's got to be number two.
He's got to be number one.
He's got to be top three at least because we're here every single day.
We posted 67 spaces in the month of January alone.
And we had over I think more than 70 hours or 65,
70 something like that hours of talk time, which is huge.
And that's a drop in alpha.
It's not just the pump our bags.
You guys know that I'm not here pumping doodle genics.
I'm not here trying to force people to invest or buy any token
or do any of this nonsense.
People that jive and find their tribe,
I truly believe that they're going to stick with us and stick around.
And if it's not the community for them, it's not the community for them.
I hope that they don't get rug and their future endeavors
or any other communities that they join.
But I know I fucking know the higher you go up on the fucking totem pole,
the more you see the rug start unfolding,
the more you start seeing behind the curtain because you get higher
And I'm not saying off my THC because yes, I smoke an absolute bag, Rick.
But I'm just saying at the top,
you start seeing shit that you just don't want to see.
Disgusting shit, cabal shit, group chats.
If I posted this shit publicly, you'd be like,
oh my God, I have to unfollow each and every one of these people.
But I'm not here to chop other people's trees down.
I'm not here to make other people feel small or be their worst enemy
because there's far more bigger enemies out there
that we need to fucking face together than just some of these bad actors.
Time and karma will catch up to each and every one of them.
But I truly do believe in the art.
I think that a lot of these narratives,
whether it was like you're going to earn passive income
by holding these NFTs, stake the NFTs,
and you're going to get this yield token
and we have this liquidity pool that's never going to dry.
It just seems like founders creating off of people's hype wealth
and then after managing how they can give back their wealth
and keeping the wealth from their actual people and followers
and supporters and friends
instead of actually trying to empower them
and giving them the knowledge
to maybe have some fucking brilliant moments
or some breakthrough moments
and just say, I fucking finally get it
and make some trades, invest into some projects,
see some floor prices rise.
It's difficult to be out there every single day
just pushing your art as an artist.
It's active income versus passive income.
Passive income is you having a sold out collection
and so many individuals buying your stuff on the secondary
and you earning crypto from your work that you've done once upon a time.
So I think that the PFP narrative, it will stay around.
People do have these identities.
At the same time as this app, that's also the biggest problem.
People want authenticity.
People want to see me with a fucking gorilla finger
every morning in my mouth smoking weed saying,
GM GM motherfucker, it's doodlegenics
and when they don't see it, they're like,
Tony, where's your blunt?
I will try to smoke every day for you guys.
That's an honor and I will try to keep the trend alive, baby.
But people crave that authenticity
and I don't think that just having a cartoon PFP
sometimes kind of does that.
That's why sometimes I wonder the branding
if maybe we should have our faces there.
Some people, based off their career, what they're doing,
they can't be just always in these spaces
maybe as much as they should.
And sometimes their identity needs to be protected
like fucking Batman and Superman.
So they are superheroes themselves.
So it is what it is, right?
But at the end of the day, we do crave this authenticity,
this transparency, this genuine kind of sense of information.
And I think that coming in these spaces
is one of the best things.
Do we talk our shit sometimes?
I'm going to tap up here with you guys.
But one thing I will say is there's a lot of knowledge
and there's a lot of alpha facts that are being dropped.
I'll just put my hand up because I talk shit too.
My hands should be like at the top of the totem pole sometimes.
But sometimes that shit is well deserved.
They were just throwing shit at us.
We were throwing it back at them.
But it's better not to get into any arguments,
avoid toxicity, avoid all negativity.
It doesn't make sense to chop other people's trees down.
I've never seen anybody that's been more successful
somebody that maybe has more followers,
a bigger business, a bigger reach, more notable IP.
I've never seen somebody hating on doodlegenics
It's always people that are unsatisfied
with what they got going on,
what they're doing, what they're accomplishing,
And it's the same thing for each and every one of you.
If you look at who your biggest critics are
in a negative or a toxic perspective,
it's people that are not doing as well as you.
It's never going to be somebody that's doing better than you.
Why do they have to put you down?
Why do they have to criticize you?
Gates is not criticizing people that's doing less than him.
He's just inspiring people to do better.
And I think that with the failure of NFTs,
it's kind of sad to see that so many people have gotten rugs,
so much liquidity has switched hands to the wrong people.
And I just think that we need real motherfuckers,
real artists, real supporters, real community members,
to be kind of like, in a sense, educators,
in a sense, where they're advising people
kind of like what the culture is like here in Web3.
You can make mistakes and learn by yourself.
You don't need anybody in this room,
but you're going to take a longer route here in Web3 and crypto.
I didn't want to go into the social media aspect of it.
I was reading and learning myself.
It's just a far much struggle, and it takes so much time.
But Rick, man, I appreciate you being up here in this space.
Do you think that art is going to ultimately win?
Do you think that NFTs need to have a revolution
or an evolution to come back and finally be provident again?
Ultimately, art always wins.
Learning a trade, learning a skill, something with your hands,
it's going to follow you for life.
It applies in the real world.
It applies in the crypto world, in the digital world.
It's just one of those things.
I honestly think it's here to stay.
Being an artist and a musician,
I didn't necessarily choose it.
It just more or less found me at an extremely young age,
so I'm just doing what I always do.
That could be why my opinion is a little jaded on that,
but I'm super passionate about it, and I'm not going anywhere.
So as a creator, as a founder, and as an artist,
it's definitely, yeah, I'm here.
What do you think if you're trying to explain NFTs to somebody,
like an alien, or maybe just somebody that's in their 40s or 50s
or maybe even 60s, because there are people in Web3
that we have in our community that are in their 60s,
and there's nothing wrong with that.
They have lots of life to go.
They got another 50, 160 years to go.
How would you explain this stuff?
How would you explain the difference between something that potentially could rug you?
How would you tell them what it would be identified as
I don't even know what the proper term is for this.
Well, first up, first question, what is an NFT,
or why would it be beneficial for somebody?
This is a question I get asked quite a bit,
especially in my town, small communities.
People are still locked on the banking system.
They haven't seen the other side.
But if you have a look at how all the social media platforms are
whenever it comes to art, music,
it's incredibly hard to be able to gain a presence,
to be able to get your content out there,
and to be able to create a market for it.
So being able to get on the blockchain and monetize your own art ultimately,
it allows you not only the ability to be able to create your own platforms,
your own marketplaces, but you can build your own communities.
You can ultimately start creating friends, family,
in a demographic that there may not be a place for it in other places on the internet.
So it's really cool because we're at a time
where we can create our own social media experience from it.
And based on whatever skills the artist or the creator has,
I mean, opportunities are endless.
It's all about collabing.
It's all about getting yourself out there,
and it's making friends, building community.
As for the second question, how to prevent yourself from getting robbed,
you can really see who the grifters are,
and you use this term all the time,
but there's people that will ultimately check out their profile.
They have nothing to add to the web3 space,
and it almost seems like they just want to take, take, take.
There's no amount of give.
And something as an artist, even in the community and the stuff that I do,
So it's about that give or take.
You find people you can work with.
You know, like whenever you put something in, it's like it feels good.
Some people you work with, you start to get that gut feeling,
and it just kind of hurts, or it sucks,
or you get that FOMO or something.
No, I want to lean in on that.
Exactly what you said, and I want to expand off of what he's saying,
is like what I've learned here,
and like I've seen web3 since 2017.
I got more kind of invested myself, like closer to 2020.
And basically, the money I've spent here in web3,
I've spent with communities, NFT projects, I've spent with coins.
And it's different from where you kind of spend money in the IRL,
in a sense where if you go buy a Starbucks coffee today,
no one at the fucking corner is saying,
hey, I want to follow you on Instagram because you're drinking Starbucks coffee.
It just doesn't work like that.
And they don't want to support you, to be honest.
And the difference that I've noticed here,
and I think that cryptocurrency is more of like the currency of the people,
more of a social currency, is because whether I'm buying a Doge token,
because Doge is high right now, there's a community behind that.
And if I'm posting that I just picked up $1,000 worth of Doge,
I'm probably going to get some retweets from some Doge fucking lovers,
some people that care about Doge,
and it's more inclusive of an actual community,
versus you buying Starbucks and no one really gives a shit.
And also, even more so when you buy in smaller communities,
because the owner operators, the independent artists,
they don't have teams of 50, 60, 100 corporate employees.
They're not employing all these people.
They're trying to get their ideas.
They're trying to get their creativity minted on the blockchain.
They're trying to get rewarded.
They're trying to get monetized.
But just like you said, it's like if a business doesn't maybe do social responsibility
or they're serving sub-par food to maximize profits,
it kind of rubs customers and consumers in a wrong way.
And I think that's what you're talking about with those profiles
and those individuals that really have no knowledge of Web3 at all.
Sad to say, but it's the honest truth,
and I'm going to be the bear of bad news today,
whether you hate it or you love it.
Number two is they know very little to nothing about crypto.
Web3 and crypto is something that's totally different.
Web3 could be non-fungible tokens, ERC20 tokens.
They could be meme tokens.
Crypto, like real crypto, is like Bitcoin to me, Ethereum,
XRP, native tokens, Litecoin, stuff that's actually worth some shit.
Not, you know, creator tokens and ecosystems that are created.
You know, like my man Tracto come up here.
I know he's really like into Pixel.
That's a sappy seal token.
But did they really need to make the token?
Or was it another cash grab to, you know,
stick the knife a little deeper in the pockets of their ready holders,
of their beloved community?
So like some people see it as a reward, some people don't, right?
Some people, like the reward only kind of fractionalizes to some individuals.
I think a lot of these NFT projects,
people are going way beyond their expectations.
I think that, you know, the interest is that also at an all-time low.
And I think the art is what's really carrying it.
And also the technology, what you can do with NFTs
and what you could do here at Web3 by setting up token websites
and having massive games with Solana and Polygon
and all sorts of ecosystems with Ethereum as well
to the different chains of like finding those artists
and finding those collectors within Dojinos and Ordinals
and Solana and XRP and Chronos and Ethereum and Tezos.
Like there's so many different communities.
But ultimately, I think that like it's going to come down to brands, businesses
and how they get their, how they reward their individuals on the long-term.
And I think that a lot of this stuff is unsustainable.
I think a lot of this stuff is truly unnecessary.
And I was in a space earlier, Rick, and I was listening.
And Frank Leap, I was there late night, early morning, whatever you want to call it, listening.
And they were talking about like meme coins and hate it or love it.
Right now, it's meme token season.
I've never indulged in it.
I did one play and it was Portal.
And it was probably as Degen as it gets,
which I think that we are getting the tokens very soon
because I have been reading up on that as well.
So I haven't forgotten about that.
But one thing I can say about it, one thing that the catalyst would say about it is
people get onboarded from different aspects of crypto
and different instruments into crypto.
So maybe some people kind of don't have the gas fees to fuck around with Ethereum
and they go onto a network like Tezos
or they go onto a network like Polygon
or they go onto a network like Solana
and it's like their first really learning experience.
Right? What the hell do they know about Web3?
What the hell do they know about communities?
You know, where is there a blueprint or a handbook that's showing you,
Here's the lie detector test here on the Twitter spaces.
The thing is, is like you got to really resonate with people that you think are going to make an impact
And a lot of this stuff is just totally subjective.
It's like narrative stuff, speculative stuff.
And I do believe that speculation has a big part to play in crypto.
And that's why we've seen a lot of tokens explode.
That's why we've seen a lot of communities shift in and out of one coin to the next.
But believe me, and when I say this,
those same communities that are shifting from one coin in the next
are dunking on you, mother mothers,
every single day with Chicago wallets that you have no idea about
and they just don't give a shit.
And for them, it's not about the art.
and Sarah was one of the first people that I had
and I interviewed up here on the stage,
and her take absolutely stands true.
People are here for the monetary value.
If you tell me any other bullshit,
I don't see you giving fucking art away for free every single day.
And that's just not the truth, right?
You would be giving away your art every single day for free,
asking absolutely nothing,
never grifting around, never asking to mint,
just literally airdropping
and just having a free fucking price tag claim now,
So, when people say that,
oh, I'm here for the art, I'm here for this,
stop looking, look at yourself in the mirrors.
You're cheating to your fucking self.
Stop grifting on yourself.
Why we're all goddamn here.
We want to see a better quality of life through crypto,
whether that means you're making $50 a month,
or, you know, it's your retirement fund,
or you're using it as an asset
to diversify from traditional investments.
We're doing something here.
And it's crypto 2.0, baby.
And I'm not talking bacon, I'm not talking pork,
This is not a paid show for any of those guys.
I honestly think that some speculative shit going on.
I've seen some shit and I've seen some transactions
where people are saying that, you know,
and people even bought some before tokens
with some recent meme tokens that launched.
It was the case with Pepe.
It seems to be the case with this new token as well, too.
I don't goddamn know what's going on,
but people are losing their meme minds.
They are fighting with fucking frogs and pigs
in a fairy tale world that doesn't exist, ladies and gentlemen.
Please, if you have any band-aids, go and save these guys.
Throw a couple band-aids over their mouths in their wallets.
Shut them the flux up and, you know,
save them from embarrassment
and maybe save your own bags as well, too,
because I am just waiting,
waiting for the Michael Jordan dunk of dunks to come all out.
And then that's what happens
and then shit really starts to tank.
But I do think that meme coins are, you know,
somewhat an aspect of crypto that will just never go away
because it's the creative side of it.
When people have these tokens that are worth absolutely nothing
and they get everybody super hyped
and want to fucking get involved for no reason,
these guys are fucking expert marketers, I'll tell you that,
because I've been here for three years grinding with doodlegenics
and we don't get 300 million impressions in a year.
We don't get, like, 100 million impressions in a month.
There's some crazy shit for some bullshit and some fugazi shit.
But that's what's being consumed here on X.
That's the problem, you know?
Who the fuck reads the white papers these days?
Oh, I couldn't hit my butt in there.
Yeah, I totally feel you on that one.
Do you know how many times I've frickin' aped in on a coin
because I saw everybody talking about it on frickin' Twitter
and the second I jumped in because it was at a low,
then it just fucking dumped even more.
So part of my process even right now with the new Jupiter app
is because I kind of know that everything is new,
so I'm really being vigilant watching,
investing just little bits rather than whole amounts ultimately.
And luckily, I've been able to make back some of the money
that I've been rugged out on recently.
It can be really deterring whenever you throw in.
Those are learning lessons, Rick, and don't worry,
they're cheaper than college, they're cheaper than the universities
here in Toronto and in Canada.
So you're a real one, dude. Keep at it.
And believe me, it's all gonna be worth it.
When you get into a space,
people are so excited about holding these assets,
whether it be a token or whether it be an NFT,
and they're passing the information on a little bit late.
And all you need is a couple thousand people
to go and really move a floor price of anything,
whether it be leveraging or shorting,
whether it be moving an NFT floor price,
whether it's just attacking all the bots
onto one specific collection or token.
There's so many fucking ways,
and I've tweeted about this in the past,
so definitely do a little deep dive on the timeline.
You'll see some alpha there,
but there's so many ways that it gets manipulated.
And I think that when we come to the spaces,
people are already so late.
Yes, it's cool to kind of find that information,
but people should have kind of like
were there a little bit earlier.
And I'm not saying don't buy
if you came late to a collection or a project,
you like the community, you like the long-term vision.
I'm not saying that, but I'm just saying that
it always pays dividends to get in early.
People that were angel investors in Tesla
and in Uber, in Coinbase,
like those are people that, you know,
they got prime opportunity
to get in before everybody else, the masses.
And when you're up here on X,
even though you think like 50, 60 people are not masses,
they're telling five, 10 people about this new coin
that they heard in this bozo DJEN Twitter space.
And then, you know, now you got maybe a hundred people
using the hashtag and you start trending for the hour.
And then one fucking bozo X influencer
that has nothing to do on his Friday night tonight
is going to be surfing through X
and he's going to find your token with that dollar side
and he's going to be like, whoa,
these guys actually have something here.
They got a little branding, they got a slick name.
They got no influencer pumping this.
I can be the number one influencer given the alpha on this.
I'm going to cover this fucking story like it's CNN.
By the time everybody gets into it,
I'm just going to jump out of the window with a parachute
and say, so long, motherfuckers.
And just watch it crumble.
Like, that's what happens a lot of times.
And if people don't really understand that,
then get the fuck invested into crypto.
Don't just be sitting here just, you know,
with a pencil in your hand, just drawing dollar signs.
You're playing in a financial market.
You're putting your art in a financial market.
The least you could do is get educated of, like,
your environment, your surroundings.
And if you're not educated, come up here
and ask every single question.
I won't shoot you down, you know?
And no question is a stupid question.
I love to hear other people's takes
and I love to hear from people in the community
because we always get to share alpha.
And if I bring you up 1,600 times
we eventually got to call it quits
because we can't play tennis back and forth here
for the rest of the space and the rest of the show.
We got to get this show on the road, baby.
All right, Rick, you're an absolute legend.
Give us some updates when you got some alpha
before they hit 25, 50 million market caps
As fucking certain could be, there is no certain.
But as certain in crypto, as certain could be,
give us an alpha call, baby.
Come up here and let us know.
I love to have people just doing the research,
you know, taking the time, trying to read the white papers.
So exciting stuff, brother.
I appreciate you being here, bro.
Have a happy Friday, brother.
Let's keep it rocking and popping.
Shelby rocking up here as well, too.
Shelby, the dogs are popular, Big Papa.
The dogeys, the dojunals are taking the wind right now.
What is going on, my friend?
No, good to see you, man.
I like the subject of the thing.
I don't think NFTs entirely failed,
because I think, you know, if you look at,
you know, if you're looking at, like,
well, also, like, NFTs, all right.
But if RFTs are working...
Well, no, I mean, like, I would say some RFTs,
for example, have not failed.
But investment-wise, did they fail?
Well, so, I mean, are we talking about, like,
some OG collections, like...
I'm talking you can make money on your money.
That's what an investment is, making money on money,
exchanging money only for the principle of earning more money.
That's what I call an investment.
If I bought crypto-punks three months ago,
I think I might get a little ROI there.
There's still a value that still exists, right?
But very few collections have been able to...
Like any of those larger PFP collections,
very few have been able to, like, sustain
the kind of community necessary to be a tokenized economy.
Like, think of baseball cards, right?
Like, baseball cards work because,
for whatever reason that I still can't understand,
I have no idea why they like baseball.
It's boring, but they love it.
Oh, the Yankees versus the Red Sox.
And they like the guy who's got the fancy baseball mitt.
And so, because there's a huge fan base there,
you're able to have a large enough...
Like, you know, if I want to sell a baseball card from the 90s,
there's somebody who will buy it
because somebody cares about Ken Griffey Jr. or whatever.
Somebody got the Ken Griffey reference and I saw the laugh.
I have a Ken Griffey senior card and...
You know what I'm saying? Okay, okay, okay.
I got the baddest baseball cards you'll ever see.
If you get in my collector's corner, you're like Mike Tyson.
Right. Mike Tyson. Don Mattingly.
These are names that we know because of the television.
So, you know, if the television is...
And also the sports games and stuff, you know,
people go to the actual games.
These are people who did shit in history.
These are people that people aspire to be, Shelby.
These are people that changed the game.
These are people that changed the game.
Because baseball or like whatever.
You know, so there's a tokenization around that
that is sustainable because of the potential turn around to an audience.
There's an audience out there who gives a shit tomorrow
Like Ken Griffey Jr. and Sr.
Neither of them are good at baseball right now.
Like relatively speaking.
But like we're talking of, you know,
that you can remember their name.
Michael Jordan's probably not as good as LeBron right now.
So where you going with this tape?
So people can trade on the asset of that name,
or of that fame, the popularity, etc.
Like if Taylor Swift dropped an album right now as an NFT,
you know, 10 years from now that shit might still be valuable.
Because it's Taylor Swift and everybody's going to still talk about her.
I don't even listen to any Taylor Swift music.
You know, Britney Spears escapes from freaking her manager to releasing NFT.
You sound like celebrity cash grabs.
Shelby, where are you going with this tape?
The art and those things, like if you want to be on a grand scale
and have like your NFT collection that's very large,
like the crypto punks or the board apes,
you need to have a certain level of public acceptance
because that is what a currency is.
Like the only reason gold is worth a ton of money
is because a large amount of people the world over will accept it as exchangeable.
If I go to like, you know, whatever, Australia,
and I'm like, hey, man, here's some gold for X and, you know, it's all weighed out.
You know, someone will be able...
I'll be able to exchange that for something, you know, anywhere in the world.
So that's the issue, I think, with a lot of the PFP collections,
was like how do you maintain enough public interest?
Like you were talking about with Doge and the community.
It's about a public interest aspect.
Like enough people have an interest in the tokenization of that commodity.
I don't know, does that make any sense?
And art, I think, sorry, and art also is the easy one
and the one that's most likely to succeed
because there doesn't need to be a million pieces of art
and there doesn't have to be a million collectors.
You're a polygon guy, right?
Overall, I mean, I think like at least when I got into the game,
polygon offered sustainability in a way that other things didn't,
like long-term sustainability because...
You know a little bit about the like the gong token, gong, G-O-N?
No, man, I got to do a little more research.
Go ahead, tell me about it.
Basically, they try to do what Bonk tried to do
and then build with actual builders on the polygon ecosystem.
There's a, I think it's called One Planet or Gone Planet now
Basically, what they did was like there's a marketplace
that will accept those tokens, which is a meme token on polygon
and it has like a market cap.
Last time I checked, it was over like 3.5 million,
but basically, essentially, they did what you're saying,
is like they found a community
which they think that they could build
and kind of like bring value to and economic value to.
They gave everybody a massive amount of these tokens.
and then after like they opened it up for sale
for people that didn't get their drops
and then after people were going crazy,
the FOMO, the excitement,
the fact that like now meme tokens are on polygon, right?
These are like just all micro,
really, really, really, really micro economies
in a grand scheme of fucking something that's so small,
like a fucking needle in a haystack.
So like, it doesn't really even matter.
no one gives a shit about an influencer's token
unless it's like a currency that you can exchange
for actual products and services.
And be able to maintain a floor price, right?
Like if you think about like tokens, right?
Like, okay, go to Las Vegas.
Like those chips have a base value
that like Las Vegas holds
of like these poker chips are not worth less
But you also know that the casino's not going to rug you
and that's why I said fail.
Yeah, the casino's not going to rug you.
They're always like, yeah, I'll trade you this for money.
Exactly. And you know that, and you know that,
that sometimes the casinos even need loans themselves
because sometimes they don't have the cash on hand
And I've heard some crazy stories,
but you know that the casino can't rug you
because it would be illegal.
a poker chip is actually a better investment
than like if you were to just keep money in a bank
because actually a poker chip holds a more stable value
Not a lot of people maybe know that, but like that's so,
so if anybody's looking for like a mean way to look at that
or things like airlines rewards points, right?
Like those points, they just give you those points.
They're like, here's three points.
But those points have a minimal baseline value
that like they don't let you exchange with other people.
But if they did, you know, anyway, yeah.
So what's your, what's your take, dude?
Where are you going with this show?
So I got to give us a solid flip it all the way around.
I'm going to flip it all the way around and say,
I'm with you on the super bullish on the art stuff
because art is, you know,
especially art on things like Tezos, polygon,
because if the value goes down a certain amount,
it's not going to like implode because all of a sudden,
you know, you're only selling it for $25 and like, oh no,
the gas price though is like $35.
And so then the whole price implodes.
But like, you know, art that's on,
effectively going to stay on chain for a very long time.
Shall we say like art that you can,
that still exists in three to five years, that stuff,
I think you need a small audience who really likes your stuff
for that art to be worth a ton of money.
You know, in the short run because,
because artists don't rug like really typically,
like they might like quit and stop making art
because they didn't make enough money or they,
but they don't really rug because they like wanted to make art
and that's why they were making art.
So they're not going to like deliberately rug you
Sounds like a fucking too,
They didn't rug where the fuck's tiny whales.
So 500 PSPs things on Tezos.
I haven't seen them active in like time.
No, I'm saying like the art will remain because it's immutable on chain.
what I meant by art is like people who spend like a month making a painting
and they put that on chain.
Those people are going to invest in their career over time space.
Like a lot of those people have already invested in their career
by having an art degree, et cetera.
They make paintings every day and they're really like,
like those people will continue to try to make paintings
for the rest of their life.
And many of them will like quit because it's not necessarily effective
to make money just making paintings.
But the people who don't quit,
like those people will continue to grow their career for,
for the foreseeable future.
I mean, like I know this because I know a lot of artists and that's what they do.
Musicians as well, because, you know, it's, it's,
it's not about the money to them.
It's about, it's not, I mean, they need money.
It's always about the goddamn money.
But like, if there's a lot of more effective ways to make money than painting.
You know why they don't stop?
Because they still have that fucking one belief.
They're going to be a rock star one day and everyone's going to know their
name and they're going to be infamous forever.
Or else they would, because listen, I'll be honest.
There's three types of artists in any, in any genre of art,
even martial arts, music, all sorts of stuff.
There's the people that are good.
These are the motherfuckers that are getting paid.
They're getting paid for their art.
There's people that they're trying and they got massive potential.
They, they're, they're hitting some wins.
Maybe they're getting a gig or two.
They're selling a few pieces here and there.
They're, they're trying to make a brand for themselves.
And then there's people that are just bad at it.
There's people that are bad at music.
There's people that are bad at fucking making art.
I don't want to break their heart here in front of 80, 90 people,
100 people and tell them that, but their best work is ahead of them.
Their best days are still to come, but they should stop because you know,
after a couple of years, if you don't get it right and get it right,
You know, I want to, I want to throw it back at you though,
because I've worked with a lot of artists in my life and, and,
and you know, you're right.
A bunch of them do not continue.
But, uh, but I would say that like a lot of people are making artists as an
expression that they're going to push their career path as far as they can.
That's why don't make it around and don't mention.
And so that's, that's why I think it's a solid, it's a solid bet.
But everyone wasn't here for the fucking money.
Give me some free art today.
Give me some fucking free art.
Where's all the free artists?
You want another, you want another.
Listen, you asked me for a take.
Now I'm giving you my take.
People are here for the money, bro.
This is a financial fucking market.
As an investment, most NFTs, 99.9% of them are failing.
The interest is also, uh, at the all time lows.
These are objective statistics.
We can't, you know, can't look away from, but am I hopeful?
Do I think that there are going to be some real builders, real communities,
real projects and real artists that make it through?
And, uh, that's our last hope.
It's our last fucking straws, uh, that could keep this fucking dam from just
But if you're an artist and you're telling me you're here for not the money,
then like, that's not the truth because I don't see people giving away free
I don't see on their page right now.
Hey, retweet my shit for to qualify for a free fucking airdrop.
And, uh, you know, I just, it's not, it's not truthful, right?
I asked people here today, if your collection absolutely sells out,
what are you going to do with the cash?
What are you going to do with the dollar dollar green?
Because if it was a PFP project, we'd all be looking for a white paper.
We'd all be looking for some sort of explanation, clarification,
some competency of where our cash is going as hardened investors.
Uh, so I think that, you know, it's fair to ask this to anybody.
As consumers, we have the right and the decision to either buy or not to buy.
So we buy something and that founder or that artist decides to take 100% of
their liquidity and just hit the withdrawal button and go to the Cayman
islands, just have a party.
That's their prerogative.
That's, that's their decision.
Does it look good as a public, you know, uh, opinion?
But that's their decision.
They can totally do that.
And nobody should be really judging them, but we do.
And here's the thing is like each and every one of the artists that are selling
their art, they put in the time, the effort, and, uh, they deserve the, the,
the monetary compensation that they, they get from selling their NFTs.
I will always vouch for artists.
If you're doing it on Ethereum, you're doing it on ordinals.
It's not cheap to, uh, inscribed.
So I truly believe it bro.
And here's the thing is like art.
Like art was like the narrative why we all came.
That wasn't the reason why we all came.
We saw either a fucking board ape, a meme token, doge token, uh,
We heard about our friends making bags.
We heard about staking or mining.
We heard about some financial benefit.
And then after we either got our money or we got our money.
We heard about some financial benefit.
And then after we either got invested in and made some great investments and
got in with the right communities or people, or we took the path of learning
the hard way, which a lot of us do.
And they're called lessons.
Um, and, and that's the money that we spent.
Like Rick Roland said here earlier today.
So let's get to some hands.
I think both takes are correct.
Um, um, for me as an artist, I am here, um, to make money with my art so I
Um, cause you can make money to make more innovative art, murals, paintings.
I just dropped a project where a physical canvases on Solana that you get
once you purchase the physical canvases and I'm onboarding the people, how to
get, you know, onto the Phantom wallop.
And these are collectors that'll pay for the art already.
So, you know what I mean?
Like, um, I think it's just finding new ways to make money in the space.
I think, um, you're right.
A lot of us heard financial incentives when we got here, we saw art and we're
like, whoa, we can blow up.
And you have, um, music, you have all these other tools that are, um, being
And I think we're figuring it out, but you're right.
You have to make money to be sustainable.
You know, for years ago, I did a bomber head drop, a bomber head NFT sold 44
And now I'm having an event in New York, NFT NYC with the funds from it.
So it's like, and that was the game plan from the beginning.
Like it's, it's about long-term and it's about watching the space.
You watch the ecosystem, you watch, you know, this airdrop that just happened.
And you realize like it's kind of about moving with the speed of culture.
Were you in that, were you in that space last night with Lee or this morning or
last night, whatever time zone you're in?
Um, yeah, I heard, I heard a little bit about it.
Z was just going in and just letting him know like, yo, this is massive.
This did like over, this is a volume monster.
Jupiter was a volume monster.
And, um, then you had blah.
And he was like, well, I don't think it's like, you know, I don't know what he was
He was saying some stuff that he don't, he doesn't think that adventure capitalist
or it's right for venture capitalists to fund tokens or people to use, you know,
the community's funds to build shit.
But that's what every fucking NFT.
You look at you the labs and you look like, um, um, the CEO, you know,
the guy was at Google for 16 years, then went to Activision and now he's there
kind of really strategically building long-term.
And of course, where did that money initially come from?
The, the, you know, buying of the tokens of the physical, of the digital pieces,
the apes, you know what I mean?
So like, it's about how we're going to innovate in the space and keep building
But at the end of the day, we all have to make money as artists.
Um, we just figure out ways to make money and stay in the space.
You look at what was happening with Tezos, a lot of art sales, but I call it,
they were selling art for pennies because they just love the art.
There was no real, you know, you have to find a balance to make something
sustainable and have a way to kind of keep it going.
And that's what that token is.
Yeah, but you can't knock it either.
On presale for our doodlegenic NFTs.
So like other chains and the strategy was that was to give people that had low
equity goes because I see the fractionalization of everything.
So why not fractionalize the NFTs?
If you had like there were a dollar NFTs, if you had 30 of the NFTs, you could
have swapped it out for an Ethereum NFT.
Or if you had 10 of them at like three bucks, you could have swapped it out
for an Ethereum NFT and just paid for your gas.
And it was a way for like artists that didn't necessarily start with like a
really big initial investment into crypto or had like much crypto in their
wallet to kind of get in from selling art.
Like, oh, I sold a couple pieces.
I'm going to cop some of Doodles juice because I know that he's got a mint
coming up and we give him like a lot of time.
And it was like a cool little gamified way that people were like getting in.
People were using them as giveaways as well too.
Just kind of something fun.
Gas was super low and shit.
But there's definitely ways that people can leverage as artists.
And I think that like the art is something that's always going to stay
I always talk about it like going back to the ancient Egyptians, like hieroglyphics
Like it just, it's timeless, bro.
Some of the art that you're going to see on the blockchain is timeless.
And a lot of it is just bullshit as well.
What is rocking on this five-year-old so fryy eye, baby?
Y'all talking from real shit.
Y'all talking from real shit, man.
He probably don't realize he said a lot.
But as artists, you got artists out here that we want to make money
I'm a musician and an artist and all kinds of other shit.
I guarantee most artists that are real pure artists,
they want to make money to keep doing art.
I'll give you a perfect example.
I love shooting craps in this casino.
But I know how to count cards when I go play Blackjack.
So I play Blackjack to make the money to go lose.
You're coming with me and Keith.
And don't worry about it.
We're your bouncers in security.
So is this thing catching with your win rate?
Yo, bro, you have a hot mic, bro.
I used to do that when I was younger for people.
I used to come pick me up and take me to the casinos.
And we're going to hit leaks.
Twitter won't let me unmike or mute my thing.
Let me jump down real quick.
Yo, so, Kat, give us a no-cat take.
Give us a raw Friday flex like you just left the gym.
You got your chin in the air.
Your muscles are feeling swell.
You're feeling your biceps.
You're feeling your quads because you did legs on Thursday.
Anyways, what's the vibe?
Do you think NFTs have failed?
Do you think the art is ultimately going to win?
Have you made some faulty investments recently that you can maybe give us some facts,
some objective proof of, or anything that you want to share on the take?
You know, I saw my first NFT February 25th, 2021.
I was the first rapper in Houston to sell a music NFT.
And you must know my boy, Ron C.
He played my music on the radio.
I'm just pumping the bag a little bit here.
But, yo, Ron C. is my boy.
He used to come and fucking co-host with us here on FOMO FM, bro.
Man, Ron C. is my dog, man.
He has 25 of our fucking doodles.
I'm born and raised in Houston, man.
I'm one of the pioneers in the music business.
I'm a part of the South Park Coalition.
Power Wild, Simtha, back in the day when they was younger.
They used to open up for us back in the days, 25, 30 years ago.
And this is not, this is not no flex shit.
This is just not, this is not no bragging shit.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, you come to the spaces pretty frequently with doodle.
I'm not trying to brag or nothing like that.
But it's just what it is.
I just got, you know, I'm looking at this award that just came in today.
This glass award, this beautiful glass award for the 50th year of hip-hop award.
I got something nice today, bro.
Family, you deserve it, bro.
Pioneering something is when people look back and they're like, yo, this person changed the fucking game.
You know, we want to share it.
We're excited about you, bro.
And I'm going to share, I'm going to pin it up in a second.
I want my takeaway from everything, man, is this.
We still pioneering this space.
This conversation in a couple of months, maybe a year at the most, this conversation will be totally different because everybody in this space right now is going to develop and invent something to add to this space and kill shit.
Everything we're talking about right now is going to be obsolete, just like old shit, just like old computers, just like motherfucking old school TVs, just like plasma screen TV.
This is obsolete right now.
This is my little 19 incher.
It's going to be absolutely like BCR, bro.
Dead fucking dead right now.
Not to the Wi-Fi. It's not a smart TV either.
People are just now I think that they've realized that PFPs or communities of this kind of nature is just so hard to make money in.
You know, I think that the DJs and I think that, you know, even the consumers, they're kind of realizing that like there's very far and few projects that are going to see a positive growing chart long, long term.
So they decided to kind of shift into these tokens.
And I think that these tokens are really just like really, really micro communities that are can easily be manipulated.
And I feel like some of these like founders and creator tokens are just ways to kind of generate wealth for the team, the devs, the creators.
And then after kind of just like Dunk on Dunk on.
The medium change, the process is always going to stay the same.
The formula not going to change up when we don't win from all these different mediums to where we are right now.
The only thing that's going to change is the medium.
We have to, you know, like just be more innovative.
It's going to change faster than it did back in the day.
Who's still listening to CDs?
That's almost obsolete right now.
You know, it's still people overseas that want to order my CDs.
I don't fucking sell CDs.
Give me some YouTube streams and subscriptions.
I have completely stopped streaming, sending my shit for streaming because I'm I'm on.
But if you're not in this type of space that we need, because everybody is in this space right now, they either want one or two things.
They want to innovate this space or they in it to see what they can get out of it.
Ain't nothing wrong with either one.
But motherfuckers got to got to come in and contribute to the space and everybody else that that's trying.
These motherfuckers going to fall off.
The motherfuckers that's doing are going to be going to be the motherfuckers that you see at the top of the motherfucker full time period.
Yeah, I think you're right.
And it's like if you look at it, everything is copy, transform and recreate.
It's the same technique, getting the art out, the music, the CD out, whatever it is, it's just going to innovate.
And then with the advent of A.I. and everything, you can't even fill out a form or application without it asking you if you want A.I. to help you generate the response.
You know, like it's just becoming a norm.
So everything is just getting way faster.
You just got to innovate in the art.
Like, well, one of the artists I worked with, he's a 70 year old oil painter.
And now he's using the iPad to kind of create these digital individual pixels.
And the artist is still there, but it's like the medium can change and it innovates so fast.
And you're spot on, Mr. Cap, you're spot on.
So I mean, like I say, the people that are in this space that are really here to innovate and also create different ways of putting that music out.
When we were streaming, I'm saying when, because I don't fucking stream my shit no more because I don't get shit out of it.
Only reason I send my shit to stream right now.
So it'll be viable information and metadata on the Internet.
That's the only reason I don't expect shit.
It's like easily accessible for a lot of people.
I can't be bothered to go on SoundCloud for like some of these these people that are like, oh, fuck, Spotify.
Why is it not like why do I make Spotify my bitch?
You know, like who the fuck is talking?
You know, that's what I just said, bro.
I'm saying it's going to be a place where people can get the Internet or know your information is there.
It's like, hey, go look up little genics.
He doesn't stream 800 fucking songs.
And that's how we get the information.
We know who produces the music and all that kind of for the average person.
If you search doodle genics right now, you'll see me as a CEO of a technology company smoking a blunt almost every day on fucking Twitter.
What are the only fucking bad asses to do it?
Could you still smoke weed and be successful?
Well, some of my idols like I hear that.
I hear that little flickety flick in the back.
I got my shit rolling right now.
And believe me, I think that Warren Buffet, my other guy does it, too.
He just doesn't want to be too too open about it.
He's a little more discreet and he sips Coca Cola.
Coca Cola eats Big Macs and just smokes weed like a D gen reading fucking.
And I'll tell you, man, at the end of the day, and I'm just going to reiterate this.
This time around six months from now, from this day, the conversation is going to be so vastly different because just like all these different blockchains are coming.
We got each descriptions coming up and making it where it's supposed to be making it where you do a description.
You can see it in your wallet.
It's supposed to be happening, right?
That's something different.
I mean, everybody's going to start trying to figure out how to do that because they don't cost you.
And it's still on a fucking blockchain.
And this is the other thing I want to say.
There's one other thing that I'm going to let y'all go.
The blockchain technology is there.
And we're calling it web three.
We still operate just like what we're doing right now.
We're still operating in web two.
It's not a pure way of three for us to go to 100 percent just yet.
But we it's like this web three sitting on top of web two.
So y'all got to understand that part too.
I'm a tech guy, by the way.
I got the great computer network engineer.
So I got to ask you a question.
I was hearing Frank talk about it.
And then after I actually like this idea.
Do you know about it, Mr. Cap?
I don't know much about it.
I just I downloaded the app and basically it has like some decentralized applications.
And it works very much kind of like your user name is your wallet.
It's something cool that I think that we should look into.
And I think people that want to do kind of like decentralized broadcast would be really, really cool.
They have apps that you can do audio.
But no, you're absolutely right.
I think that the narrative is going to change.
Sometimes it does get a little bit discouraging.
I can't I got to be honest with you.
It gets a little bit discouraging when you see people that really don't bring that much value to the ecosystem of NFTs in web three.
And crypto, you know, creating tokens or faulty projects.
And they're just making a massive day.
Not saying I'm jealous because, you know, good for them.
You know, they sold out the collections.
Sure that they had to work out to make that actually happen.
But, you know, when when they kind of have like these fugazi projects that are just capitalizing on new people, capitalizing on like, you know, insider kind of trading and convolve.
It's kind of like disingenuous.
It's kind of like, you know, and if I if I leave these these these group chats and I don't want to publicly post anybody because, you know, then after you get canceled, you know, you know how it fucking goes off.
I don't think you have to.
I think like you just have to kind of, you know, play in the space and look at the individuals that you work with and watch their long term behaviors and like watch, you know, because these tokens are here now.
You know, eventually, you know, like you saw the government had like KYC.
They started to figure it out. They're going to get involved.
You know, brands are going to get involved in this.
Brands are going to start making money on this token and these air drops and the ability to create it so quickly.
The thing is that individuals have access to this power and this money that they can just make up, you know what I mean?
But then you realize the money still goes to perceive perception of value.
So who are the individuals creating it?
What are they doing with it?
Because we can be docs and we can be undocks in this space for a long time or or whatnot.
But at the end of the day, it's about like the connections you're making and the tokens you're getting, the air drops you're getting.
Following the if you look at like the the air drop that just happened, you know, like the technology behind it.
Jupiter. Thank you, Jupiter.
You look at the Jupiter air drop.
You know, these are people who are doing research on the technology, figuring out this this token ecosystem and how to you know, they're planning to do it.
They're planning to do an air drop every year.
You know, now you see who's working on it.
You're starting to understand the mechanisms of it.
So like you said, Mr. Cap, I think the space is going to change in six months, a lot.
You're going to realize, you know, art is what kind of attracts people.
And, you know, I think I think Sam Spratt said he's not going to do ordinals unless he's innovating on the block chain, making using the block chain within the art to create some kind of art.
So you're going to see things like that just pop up.
But at the end of the day, like right now, I say move at the speed of culture, you know, play in the space, kind of understand the tokens, kind of, you know, be part of it, watch the characters you're playing with, because, you know, it's a long term play.
We're not here, you know, for short term where we see other ecosystems.
We see we see just this big change that's happening in, you know, the world around us.
And I think the rest of the world, they don't see it.
They're a couple of months behind now.
You know, before it was there were years behind.
You're going to see all of this stuff being broadcast on regular mainstream media again, you know what I mean?
No, you're absolutely right.
I think that what happened is similar to what happened to people that sign bad record labels, record deals, right?
I know you all heard of H-town.
They had the song, the hit song, Knocking the Boots.
Now, these dudes signed a bad deal.
But the vision for them 20, 30 years later was they could fucking go to work and make money doing what they love to do, right?
It's the same in this space.
Most people are going to come in this space and fuck over people, make a whole lot of money.
But the people that sustain themselves in this space, I mean, the people that grind, hustle, struggle and go through the bullshit years from now,
will still be able to work in this space and make money.
So you kind of got to look at it from a visionary type of point of view when it comes down to what you're going to get right now,
if you're going to blow up right now.
People that's been in this space for three, four years right now, maybe in the next few months, maybe they'll be rich as fuck.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm just saying, like, that's how this shit goes.
How did we get people, significant people from Web 2, maybe in the music, maybe in the entertainment industry,
because that's your industry, right?
How do we get guys like Paul Wall or Slim Thug or, you know, these are just guys like that you would know and we would commonly know.
But like, how do we get more of like those celebrity kind of figures, kind of like seeing Web 3 again in a cool fucking sense,
giving them some prominence to say like, hey, we're still fucking here.
This shit is still fucking going.
You know, people like Shaq, everybody, like they took away their dot soul names.
Their dot the dot eth names.
They changed it all back to the regular user names.
You know, everybody disassociated with crypto in 2022 and 2023.
And hopefully in 2024, that's not the narrative.
So, you know, like most of those people don't really run their own social media platforms and they have like I was working with a little flip.
I'll try and bring him into the space, a little flip.
He actually do physical paintings and he's fucking awesome.
I try to bring him to the space because we grew up together as well.
And he's like, yeah, cool, cool, cool.
I'm with it. I'm with it.
I'm with it. And then I don't hear shit.
It's because the way we bring them in is we got to kind of like, we got to like bully them into this shit.
We got to know them personally.
We got to know them fucking personally, bro.
We got to know them in a way where we can say, no, I'm going to bring you into this fucking shit.
I don't give a fuck what you're talking about.
And you're going to be talking about.
They want you to handle their wallets because me and little Flip got into a big argument about letting somebody else handle his wallet.
I'm like, why the fuck would you let somebody handle your wallet?
That's your fucking shit, bro.
It's like it's coming from the NFT send straight to your wallet.
You could do whatever the fuck you want to do with that money.
Why the fuck would you let somebody else have control of that?
So now that they understand in this shit, it is because of me because I'm the one who told them about streaming back when streaming first hit because I was down in our living in Vegas.
And I was I was friends with the owner of CD baby.
This is back when CD baby first open.
I was able to talk directly to the owners.
And it was like the best way for you to distribute is start a distribution company and just distribute everybody's music.
Every song is going to sell one time.
And if you have a million songs on your distribution, you've got a million sales.
This is what we got to do.
I mean, that's that computer bullshit.
I'm like, all right, cool.
Guess what they all call to do.
They fucking distribution shit.
C.A.P. because these motherfuckers didn't they don't have the foresight to see that this is steady change.
Went from vinyl to eight track to cassette to CDs and streaming.
And now we're in the NFT space.
It may be called something different in six months or a year from now.
But we in the space and we fucking innovators.
This space was built to level the playing field in the first place.
I made plenty of money in this space.
I ain't even trying that hard.
And listen, you're absolutely right.
For artists, especially that are trying to own their own collection and create their own narrative and not have to pay all these royalties, not get stuck into bad contract deals, not have to sell their soul, you know, to do what producers or, you know, publishing labels want.
You know, they can come to Web3 and just really make a career for themselves and really make a name.
And I think that it's just providing everybody.
It doesn't matter your age, your sex, your region, your race.
If you have an Internet connection and you have a dollar, a USDT to start a fucking wallet and, you know, mint on Tezos or mint on Polygon, you could be an entrepreneur selling your art, selling your music, selling your creativity on chain.
And that, to me, is so dope.
Listen, man, these record companies are coming.
They're trying to they're scrambling right now because they're not making the money that they were making.
And and just full disclosure, if you're not watching the news, CNN, CNBC and all that kind of shit, these motherfuckers mentioned music, NFTs say this is what's going to save NFTs.
They said that on the fucking news, bro.
The motherfucking record label is fucking scrambling.
They're having a heart attack right now.
Y'all better get fucking ready.
You're a real one, Big Papa.
And thank you for coming up.
Let's go to my man and have creeps coming up, hosting and co-hosting, doing the most.
First off, shout out to everybody, all the doodle genics people on the FCW collective.
Mr. Cap is the man, by the way.
It was fun to listen to his take, dude.
I very much enjoyed the conversation there.
What's going on with you, brother?
I lit my last gorilla finger for the day.
Can you smoke weed and be successful?
Successful Twitter space.
Smoking weed, having the second cup of coffee almost done.
I don't think 30 ounces before 12 o'clock would be necessary.
But I'm living the dream, baby.
We're looking at some art.
We're talking about failed NFTs and maybe how art is going to be the only narrative
that carries Web3 and NFTs through these rough and harsh times.
I feel very strongly about all of this because we've been here a little bit now, doodle,
and we've seen the big projects come in, sell out their projects,
We've seen too many of those people dip.
And then there's some of those projects that have sold out and they're like,
So they create a fucking token and try to keep that thing going.
No offense to anybody who's into it.
That's just my personal opinion.
But art's going to win in the end.
I really and truly do believe that because, listen, this whole thing,
this Web3 design, you have the opportunity.
If you ever had a dream, if you ever had something you created as far as an IP
or a project that you've always wanted to put out into the world,
whether it be music or whatever, if you're not taking advantage of holding
your fucking cell phone, starting a Twitter, starting some kind of business
through Web3 and marketing yourself through social media,
you are missing the fucking mark.
We have the technology to take control of our own destiny
and something we wanted to create.
You just can't be a lazy ass.
You've got to put the work in.
You create it, you put it out there, you maintain it,
and you be honest and ethical about what you want to do with your project.
It's really that fucking simple.
You have everything you need to start it at your fingertips.
There's a lot of projects who, like you said when you were saying
there's three types of artists, we know that's true.
There's people just trying out here, man, and God bless them.
They're not the best of artists, but they have a dream
and they're following through.
Maybe they get better or they become that second artist
you were talking about, or they just realize along the way,
listen, my art's not sound, and they dip out.
Art is going to win if you have the passion and drive to see it through.
It's going to transcend just Web3 and bring other people in eventually.
I really think that and I really think that you have to have
two branches of your project.
You have to have the Web3 and then the way you could bring things
as physical items and things like that to help the growth of your project
I think it's super important.
This is going to sound like me fucking shilling for a second,
but I just want to say to you guys, so for me myself,
Tony has known me since I came into this space.
I came in here with a dream to be like a Stan Lee type,
I had these characters and this dream of making it something big.
I always loved Garbage Palkids.
I wanted to bring that nostalgic kind of thing to everybody.
These are some of the things I did in one year.
I sold out my first season, sold out half of my second season.
We didn't drop the other half of it yet.
I made physical items that went with the collection,
two-time NFT NYC artists, followed by Gary V,
got some of my physical stuff in stores.
None of that would have happened.
Now I'm on two trading card projects,
independent label trading card projects.
None of that would happen if I didn't come into this and treat it
with the respect that deserves to make my project grow and not just
I owe everything that I have accomplished in the past year and a half
This is what makes everything kind of tick for me.
This is something that's why I get really pissed off when I see people.
They start a project and they don't have everything in order,
whether it be the traits aren't lining up with their art
and they still, fuck it, we'll figure it out.
They start going with whatever they're doing.
Little details like that.
If you're not treating it with respect, then get the fuck out.
Sorry, I went on for a minute, dude.
That's a couple of things I wanted to say.
I think that people that are really trying to build a brand,
you could see that it's fucking evident.
You could see that they're a little bit more structured and organized.
They have a little bit more intuition in what they're kind of publishing
and what they're building versus somebody that just,
Eventually it becomes short-lived and a lot of those NFT projects as well too.
There was a project that I remember being featured on the board ape show
by Ghost and Bubbles and there was a few other cool board apes,
mutant apes that were on the show kind of interviewing us
and there was a few projects out there.
Out of all those projects, there's only one, I think four of us.
Two of them absolutely just tanked and rugged.
Their NFTs are worth less than like $3 on Ethereum.
You know that they rugged out, both of them.
The third guy, he's like, I don't know, some spiritual fucking palm reader
and if you want an NFT and fucking him to read your palm
and tell you your crypto future, then that's the community I guess for you.
But it's not really fucking doing much.
It's kind of inverted floor price.
Looks like it got beat up bad and kicked to the shits
and his palm reading didn't work.
And then you have us, you know?
And they were giving us a little kind of like, what is it called?
I don't want to say FUD, but they were being a little bit in depth
They were trying to poke you a little bit, huh?
No, they were asking like deep questions.
They were asking million dollar questions and I had the answers for them.
I'm honest, I could tell them how it is, exactly how it is, when it is.
But they were just going, they were going really deep.
And then none of those projects are even doing anything or even around right now.
Look at some of the OGs that I used to come up into the spaces
and look at what they were, when I met them, what they were promoting
and what they're currently promoting now.
Some next fucking bullshit, you know, they don't even do the same thing.
A lot of them pumped like three different projects, five different coins.
And that said, I got to take a break because my track record is longer
than the baggage on Pamela Anderson.
The baggage on Pamela Anderson.
That's how you know we're old.
You know, no, no, no, no, no millennium would know who that person is.
But one other thing too is I think this kind of creator economy
is really going to be the narrative regardless if it's NFTs or if it's tokens.
I've seen now that like tokens have been like something
where people kind of get into as an onboarding.
I don't think it should be like the main play or the main focus here on X.
But I think that a lot of those space hosts and a lot of those community members
realize that, hey, maybe I can't make as much money with NFTs as I can,
you know, trading tokens, de-jetting out, throwing a couple dollars into the crypto casino
and buying some of this volatile shit that I would just literally just call it shit
because that's what it is.
It has no intrinsic value, intrinsic value.
It is just like speculative.
This thing is just absolutely just fucking speculative.
But I think that regardless, people, whatever has attention, people buy into.
And I've seen some crazy shit.
It's kind of funny that there's always a presale hours before that initial launch
from like a wallet that nobody knows.
And then that wallet is a millionaire.
That's like, boom, instant millionaire, 15, 20, 30, 10, 5.
You know, it happened with, I'm pretty sure something happened like this with Pepe.
I can't, don't quote me on it.
But I've heard some shit that like there was some kind of fugazi transaction
that kind of like, you know, made people's perspective kind of switch a little bit.
And the team kind of looked super faulty for the way that they went about it.
I'm not into this shit coin thing.
I'm on the sidelines saying, I don't want to get into the swamp.
I don't want to get shitty.
I don't want to get shit on or dunked on.
No, I'm staying out of it.
But there's a lot of MFers that are making bags and good for them.
Fuck that what you're talking about.
I'm going to dunk on someone else.
And then after they're going to dunk on someone else.
It's going to be like a thing.
I don't think businesses get bigger by dunking on other people.
You know, they eat a market cap because they're better.
They serve more products and services.
You don't need to prey on people.
You know, that's the way I see it.
I've never knocked people that make money on it.
Like if they make money, good for them.
If they're stacking, good for them.
Do you think it's kind of like Frintech, like that Frintech model tokens?
It has that same kind of vibe, you think?
I think it's similar when people get the alpha.
There's like certain clicks that you see here on Twitter.
Like a lot of the Nakamigos kind of like hang out and invest together.
Like, you know, there's this OG board apes that kind of do their things.
Still, there's like all the de-gods and the youths that if they see a project,
they like, they de-gen in and they buy up the alpha.
Even us, we have like channels on the inside on the token gated side
where we have free mens, de-gen mens, like where we're showing people like alpha as well too.
So like, I think like if you have enough people, you can move it.
If you have enough people with a thousand dollars or even ten thousand dollars
throwing in the pool and saying, hey, let's all fucking bet this way.
You're going to kind of create that kind of environment.
You're creating a whole economy.
You know what I'm saying?
So the ecosystems of the board apes and the Nakamigos and Nakamigos and shit like that,
they created, they're just creating an economy
and they bring people in in the beginning and grow that economy.
Just like with doodle genics, I think you could do the same thing
if you are not already doing that.
It's just building an economy.
And then it's just like when people say, you know, like, of course, I'm a black person.
They say if we just spend with our own people like the Asian people
and the Indian people and these people and that people, you know,
they all spend with each other.
They don't go spend their money outside of their culture.
So when we're in these spaces and I get in here with doodle genics,
So I'm going to spend money with my culture.
I never came in here to expect to be a collector, but guess what?
I came in because I want to sell my fucking art,
but now I'm seeing art that I like and I want that in my fucking wallet.
I don't know who going to blow up.
I don't know if enough creeps going to blow up and I happen to hold something.
I bought enough creeps shit for a fucking $2.
I spent no money in gas and now those pieces sell for like .1.
So we got to build our own economies in these spaces, bro.
And I'm not, I'm not knocking it.
And I think that if people can find the ecosystem to use the ERC 20 tokens,
the SPL tokens, whatever, you know,
smart contract or chain that they want to deploy.
You know, I wonder what happens if I do the biggest social experiment ever.
I want to know what the biggest polygon airdrop there ever was.
And I make a massive list, a massive goddamn list of all these wallets and just
a hair drop, a frigging polygon token,
and then make it a bunk, bunk kind of ordeal cap.
You never know the juice token.
Anybody who's got juice and it's going to be free,
no value, no utility and see what people do with it.
But you don't know if you don't do this shit.
That's why I say you got to get shitty.
We're in the shitty ass fucking gang, bro.
You got to get your motherfucking hands and feet dirty in this shit, bro.
You can't just sit around, you know, like no disrespect to nobody in the room,
but you can't sit around on your motherfucking hands in this space like this
But I invest into other coins.
I'll invest into blockchains.
I'll invest into like liquidity staking pools.
I'll lock some salon or some shit, but I'll farm some airdrops.
But it just hasn't ever been my thing, you know?
It's like some people, for some reason, I don't know how these people exist,
but they don't like lobster for the texture for some reason.
I think they're aliens because they don't want...
Ms. Rare don't like lobster.
She says she don't like sweet seafood.
I'm allergic to this shit, so...
Well, God bless your soul, man.
You're missing out with that butter and that fucking...
I'm allergic to it like I'm allergic to it.
I'm like, yo, what else you got?
She just went to Red Lobster and she ordered...
Hey, I'm allergic to that shit like I'm allergic to haters, man.
We're just going to be on a sea flip diet.
If we see it, we want to buy it and flip it, baby.
But you're right, the credit economy is cool.
Just for clarity, I do not have intentions of making a juice token.
You know, someone's going to go back and say,
Do you know when's the juice coming?
I was ready to jump right in that shit.
Bro, I can imagine the DMs right now.
Like, yo, I have a great idea, bro.
Like, yo, I hate how it just starts like,
I have a great idea and I want to socially fucking engineer you, Doodle,
to get you into this Ponzi and be one of my knights
or my rooks on my little chess board.
No, no, it's not going to happen.
Man, life is a Ponzi scheme, bro.
Everything is a fucking Ponzi stream.
It's all about who at the top of the fucking pyramid.
I was saying this earlier,
the higher I go up on the totem pole cap,
the more I see really shitty founders doing really shitty things
and just more educated individuals can kind of see it.
There was a really dope platform.
OpenSea just wiped them out because people were seeing that.
They had this tool called bubble maps
and they still have bubble maps for coins.
So you can see how cobbled coins really are.
But anyways, it kind of showed just like the trade washing and the thing.
Popularity and attention is everything.
If it's organic, it could be sustainable.
If it's not organic, you spend too much money on gas and bots
and keeping this frigging thing juiced
instead of just having the supporters that really, you know,
show value to the ecosystem.
And I think that it is possible.
I think that's the place that are doing it right now
No, you're absolutely right.
I'm going to just tell you something real quick
about OpenSea, known origin,
Nifty Gateway, all these motherfuckers.
I used to be in rooms with them, on stage with them,
back in the clubhouse days,
talking to them directly,
helping them develop their shit directly.
And something happened to my Twitter account
where all my followers started falling off.
I had like over 70,000 followers.
All that shit just started falling off for no reason.
I don't know why I wasn't doing no political or religious shit
I don't know what the fuck happened, right?
And when all of those platforms start to pop,
like really pop and get popular and shit,
guess who they stopped fucking with?
Because they probably felt like I wasn't popular enough
And they kicked me to the fucking curb.
I'm talking about motherfuckers that I talk to.
Some of them I talk to on the fucking phone in real life.
Oh, that social media bullshit is nothing.
When we walk in the real life,
no one gives a shit how many fucking Twitter followers
or fucking Instagram or TikTok followers,
Unless like, I don't know, maybe you have YouTube videos
where people are like, yo, that's the guy.
But it just definitely doesn't happen that way.
And it takes a lot of overnight success
to be a lot of overnight success.
But anyways, you're absolutely right, Cap.
Let's get to some of these amazing people up here on the spaces, guys.
I got this backwood rolled up.
Light one if you got one.
Pour up some doodle juice.
If you're in Canada, go outside.
Feel the cold snow in your goddamn palm melting under your hand.
Let's keep it moving and grooving.
And art is the only way that this narrative really pans out.
I like your take, creeps.
Let's go to my man, Rare.
He's been here for a minute.
Rare, appreciate you being up here.
What's going on, Big Papa?
Happy Friday at work here.
I agree with, you know, Ghost and creeps and Cap.
I feel like they all came from like kind of the same lens of things,
especially Cap running it down about, you know,
how everything kind of works with the, you know,
social gatekeeping and things of that nature.
But no, I feel like, I don't know.
I feel like the first question was kind of like,
if I sold out a project, what would I do?
I just seem like if I ever like, you know,
Clara Silver just made $1.7 million off of, you know,
And I'm just instantly like,
if I ever, you know, sell out a project and make $1.7 million,
it's going to feel like the whole space hit the damn lottery
because I'm a B, you feel me, popping shit off left and right.
So like, yeah, utilizing funds to create events,
create merch, create businesses and brands and expand my personal,
you feel me, visuals into different mediums.
Like one point I feel me go hire some individuals to help me run this thing
I have, you feel me, goals to span into mangas and animes and things of that nature.
With money like that, I can put myself in rooms with individuals
that I need to be around in order to, you feel me,
Like, you feel me, at some point, you know,
it get harder and harder for artists to kind of pull off different things
because, yeah, the funding isn't there.
Ultimately, you feel me, this world revolves around,
Like Cap say, this shit is just one big Ponzi scheme.
It's all about, you feel me, peering me at you climbing and who at the top.
So like in the industry that we're in,
in the entertainment, art and, you feel me,
industry here in this bubble and we're up three is so many, you feel me, hurdles
and you feel me, pay to play kind of techniques and antics that's here.
Like, so, you know, if you have an access to an abundance of money
or if you just happen to, you know, catch a wave and you utilize your funds correctly,
you can kind of, you feel me, perpetuate yourself into higher spheres
in the Twitter space because you were able to collect certain people's art,
you know, and you were able to, you feel me, support certain individuals.
You were able to buy certain tokens and things like that.
You were able to be in certain groups because you have this money.
You had this NFT that gave you this social status, like hopping from community
community, you've seen a lot of individuals who, you feel me, raise their entire,
you feel me, network just because they had a certain PFP early on and, you know,
two years later they were able to build so many different things off, you know,
So I feel like NFTs have failed certain individuals, like you can have instances
where you feel like, yeah, this, you know, the NFT itself, you feel me, failed me.
I didn't get what I, you feel me, want it out of it.
But the art overall is always, you feel me, going to win.
I feel like, yeah, especially in the case where it's like, go ahead, Ghost.
Now I was going to say, I like that take, you know, because the one thing I found
in the space is like, you are kind of that utility, you know,
that's why I go to like some of the conferences, NFT NYC.
Like then you start to meet individuals in there that are building.
So you see the NFT is, it becomes more than just like a token to access.
Like this build dog was the first time I made a win, you know,
like I've been in the space for a while, you know what I mean?
Like, and I'm like, oh, I just got it at the right time.
And then Solana went up and like, whoa.
And now everybody's Solana, Solana, Solana.
And I'm like, oh, dope. Okay, cool.
It's about moving at the speed of culture.
And I think you are that token.
I think you going, because you could start to build and connect.
Like, I mean, the first year I went to East Denver,
I went with four canvases, 30 by 30, so one of them.
And I was like, whoa, that covered my trip.
Just keep meeting people and then building that community and that ecosystem
so you can build around you to your local communities and stuff like that.
And I think people just need to get into the space.
But it's, you know, we're still early on, like I hate saying that,
but, you know, the technology you're seeing it evolve in faster and faster.
But I think NFTs is the individuals behind it
and the characters that you're following
and the connections that you're making, projects you're collabing with.
Like, I don't collab with projects that's been rugs,
like we're trying to figure it out.
I feel like, yeah, thanks.
Everybody trying to figure it out.
Exactly. So, yeah, man, I like that take, but I also think...
You guys laughing because I got rugs?
I got rugs by an individual in the space who I was close with.
Like, I talked to this person every morning in the spaces.
Welcome to Web 3. Welcome to Web 3.
He's like, yeah, I'm building this project.
It's only the closest and smartest motherfuckers that can rug you.
That's why we get got, you know?
He's like, yeah, you can create the merch for it.
You can do this. We ruffled off shoes and custom hoodies.
And, you know, I got the ship stuff out and it was an experience.
And the project actually dropped and, you know, everything.
And then it was like, well, all right.
You know, I played my role.
You know, I got my Emmy for this award, for this performance I just put on,
coming to these Twitter space.
Like, he was coming to Twitter spaces every day.
Like, I knew this man by, like Cap saying, I could call him on the phone.
Like, yo, what's good, bro? How you doing today?
That's when I knew, like, on our Web 3, there's cutthroat.
So this ain't no different from the streets in Chicago.
Well, these thinkers do not care about you.
They is here trying to get a bag, no cap.
They seen board ape selling for 100K.
It's all I got to do is string up some art.
And I can, you feel me, get a couple six figures under my belt?
Oh, shit, that sounds easy to me.
And it's like, bro, I could have did the same thing.
Like, Cap say, you got to be, you feel me, willing to do some shitty shit
if you want to get that quick buck.
It's like, if I came into the Twitter, you feel me, into NFTs with that mindset,
as an artist, it would have been nothing.
I'd have been a millionaire instantly.
All right, let's just draw some shit, some cool characters,
slap some traits together, find me a day of who,
down with the shenanigans.
We could have, you feel me, made a whole bunch of bread
and did whatever we wanted with it.
But that's not, you feel me, the goal at the end of the day,
as a genuine artist here, trying to build something.
Like, Cap say, I want to be able to work here 10 years from now.
At the end of the day, that's a short win.
If I made 100,000 last year, rugged people, you feel me?
But in my long-term career, I could have made 100 million, you feel me?
I just sold myself short and, you feel me, tarnished my whole soul
and all type of shit for some bread, which is never, you feel me,
the goal and should never be the goal.
Even though we're here to make money, you got to do it the right way, type shit.
You said everything the right way.
You were spitting just now, just on some real shit.
And, you know, like, yeah, you can come in here and pull a rug
But how in the fuck do you sustain that?
Because, you know, everything is documented online.
If you associate it with a rug, motherfuckers ain't going to fuck with you.
You have to go reinvent, recreate and do that whole shit again
and buy it in the whole medium and the whole landscape of being a change.
So now you stuck looking stupid, but we're going to evolve with everything when it changes.
All of us in this space, there's genuine artists, there's pure artists.
We're going to evolve with this shit and we're going to grow with it.
So we're going to be staples in it.
And then guess what's going to happen?
Money going to fall in our fucking lap.
That's not even going to be something we're concerned about because it's just going to be there.
It's going to be there for us.
We're just putting in the grunt work right now and let motherfuckers come on in here.
Come on and do y'all a little dirty bullshit.
Y'all not going to sustain.
It's hard to sustain when you're doing dirt, bro.
I like what you guys said, honestly.
Cap, you're saying a lot of good shit and so are you, Rhett.
I think this shit comes with time also because we've been here a minute
and we've seen the bad actors come in now.
We're starting to time everything they do.
We know when they come in here, they try to take control of the panel,
mention themselves 20 times, tell you all the people they know.
They're working with this guy and they're going to do this and yada, yada, whatever.
We've heard it a million times.
So with time, we weed those people out.
I think we start to get the cues from those type of individuals.
But it's unfortunate because it keeps repeating the same process
where it's like you get this one person who's a really smooth talker
and it's almost like this guy's kind of cool.
And then all he gets is like two influencers in this space
who are like, I like him and they've got a lot of followers
so everybody else jumps in.
And before you know it, they're doing a weekly space with a big audience
because this guy's in there and he's pulling followers in or yada, yada.
And at the end of the day, they run the whole fucking project
and then we all have egg on our face.
Those are the people who make everyone look bad.
But now, that being said, your reputation, your resume is your timeline.
Your timeline becomes your reputation.
The longer you are here, the longer people can see the shit you have done.
I think we start to weed those people out.
And when shit comes back, when NFT, when everybody wants to come back
and see NFTs again, they're going to see the timeline.
They're going to read the resumes.
They're going to see who's been here.
And those are the people who are going to truly succeed here.
We can't, unfortunately, do anything about these people who come in
and, you know, rug a shit-ton of people.
It's unfortunate that it keeps happening.
But if you understand the cues and you start to understand
who these people are who come in and do this shit,
the longer you're here, you kind of read those cues.
Some slip through the cracks, but, you know, I think over time,
we're weeding those people out.
You just got to stay backwards.
And I think it's like a part of, like, our duty here in this space,
like, as we educate ourselves to help call them out.
Like, keep saying, like, if you tuned in to the social cues
and all the scammer grifters, like, let your homie know a tight situation.
I don't fuck with dude. He kind of fishy.
I'm talking like a true shot caller, baby. Happy Friday.
See you turn up the volume, kick back, relax, kick your feet up.
Let me see all the divas in this shot caller.
Click on that little purple button.
All I ask you to do is retweet the rules.
I don't want you to buy anything you don't want. Let's go.
Make it make it meanest, greatest hat.
You're just sliding in right now.
Steve's from New York, so I just had to give him a little New York for the Solana summer that's coming up
Oh at the summer jam concert. We should go to the summer jam concert Steve. I
Worked that last year. I was working summer jam last year was crazy
I always go see my idols go to the coolest fucking shows and then just tell me I'm like
He's like no no I'm getting up you know because I'm bouncing this shit so I'm technically working
but I'm watching I'm watching Beyonce go crazy and
Shake up on it or whatever that she says I don't even know check up on it shake up on it
Remember you came here around the time he comes here. Drake is doing a residency at the the Barclay Center
I'm like, oh Drake see he's like, can I get it? Like nah, I can't get you in that. Sorry
He just teases me all the time he's yeah, I'm hoping one day he's like yo, I gotta pick it
And I'm like wait, what's the catch now, you know, do I gotta throw on the security, you know shirt and start working
You know, do some push-ups fit the characteristics
No, but that's dope. You see all these people on a pretty frequent kind of basis. You're like a part-time celebrity or something
Got Gary Vee going on the garbage pale kids, you know trying to reach out he's trying to make some commissions out here
Pinned up to the top check out end of preach stuff. He's got physicals fidgetles. We call him really dope stuff
We're gonna get to more and more of these amazing speakers
I see legends on legends up here in the space if you haven't already kindly click on that little purple button
Retweet the room. I have no idea how long we've been out here. Maybe a couple hours two hours
Yeah, since 9 o'clock. I don't know what time it is
Almost two hours, maybe three hours. We're rocking out. We got some time almost three hours. It's 750
So it's 1045 so five minutes till three hour mark
Smoking those backwards and we know where are your legend and I appreciate you having having you up here
Sure. My god, what do you got cooking brother?
Smoking chillin. What's going down? What's the word? So I got fucking going on this my this morning
That's fucking dope dude, we got people excited to see what you're building and nifty bro, that's exciting
I feel like it's a little hype now, you know
Hold your horses. Hold your horses. Oh, that's shit. That's shit
I was gonna talk to y'all about that shit cuz you know, I like to fuck around and I don't I hate doing shit simple shit
so and I like games and if I can have a certain amount of games on this in the level or in the world, I
want to create that shit like
Like grand theft auto or something like that. I'm not yet where it's different elements of the game and you just work to a
Different park one of the world's look like a regular little street town
The next one looked like a zombie or apocalypse just hit that motherfucker
the next one looked like a video game, but all of them got shooting games on it or
Captured a flag on the mark. Well, yeah, man, I fuck around but the whole thing that I know it was tracto
Tracto what he said was that like because the NFT community is so small and they've done a great job of doing like this partner
Program thing. It's like a lot of the players a lot of the people that are gonna be online
Using it. They could all kind of migrate to that one map. You know what I mean versus like
They're already gamers, right? This is a little bit more
Interactive than most that I've seen the same shit we did is like we'll be doing spatial only link up in space
Like some people we can do the same should be doing spatial and some motherfuckers don't even play the game
Some people ain't even shooting this shit. Say just they just did a run-around kick kicking it
But you know these people are actually on the platform
How many times that like you see is there anything that spatial does that shows that like hey?
Chise online or do I gotta just jump into a world?
If you it won't I have all you as a friend
If you follow me as a friend on spatial it'll tell you
Certain things that I'm no I won't tell you that I'm online it'll tell you only thing it'll tell you is if I go live
if I set the if I like you could turn your space on
With a button that goes like say if we is having the vit whenever we go have an event
I click this button that says live and that kind of like popular
Populizes your space to let other people know that are following you that you're having something going on
Okay, pretty cool kind of like a backdoor DM message that works, okay, basically
There's this really cool app that I
Was in the space and like I was just checking up on and it's kind of interesting
They have like a github for it. It's called
Farcaster, it's pretty much like all sorts of decentralized apps
For like sharing for meta verses for like social media for just audio spaces
Kind of like Twitter. It's kind of crazy. And I don't know. There's just so many different platforms that come out
You know, the the challenge is staying on top of it staying on top of it and seeing which platforms people truly want to use
and build I just think that it's pretty genius because
We're here every day in web 3, you know, I would love to get just regular gamers
From web 2 that like love GTA and love all those games to come in here and you know
See what we've been building get involved in the community get some doodles, you know reach out to us and want to build with us
But the reality is is like it's it's it's far easier just to work internally with web 3 and then go
external to get those web 2
Connections so like they did something cool. But like you said, I like that you've been uploading characters
What do you think in the character aspect? Is it is it on par the same? Is it easier?
I mean the puzzle if you know how to fuck around with the situation
But there's last night and I saw a hurricane say he from Houston
He probably no toe down shit last night
I showed him and I bumped in like two or three of his characters
So me and him and another person was running around with three characters from his actual collection
It's it's fun, bro. I'm telling you
That's probably the funnest part. It needs to be like
The easiest way to get people excited is by like giving people the base character in a few different varieties in
like the actual like kind of
Doodlegenic barrel or whatever avatar if it's a sappy seal then like a sealer if it's a pacey than a pacey if it's like
A saint and it's a saint you got what I'm trying to me
Yeah, cuz that's what when I when you sit it around cuz I like to just sit in my own space after I do
Do so much talking and you start to see the different things that people are bringing into the spaces the different
avatars and shit, so you get to see
the sappy seals you'll see the kid called beast jumped in there I had somebody from
The the board apes had a couple people from with those
I don't know if they actually own a ape but they come in there with the avatar and it's people that are uploading a bunch
Of avatars for sale whatnot, but you know, I'm doing a different way. But yeah, yeah, man
I think this is a good way for us to have some fun, especially if you'd like to shoot aspect of it
Especially if we get in there, we all have different colored bears
But it's the same bear. I mean, I know right now you still work. Yeah, that's fine. I work on it, but like a team you go in
Then you start doing the battle. Well, we have ghost up here. I'm pretty sure he's bullets on
No, I haven't played it yet
But I'm pretty bullish on it because the developers and the guys who are working on it, you know, they're committed to it
To see, you know their vision on it where they plan on going with it, but I haven't played it yet. I
Got to get on there like like tracto said who gives a fuck if it's not mobile centric right now
That could potentially change in the future
Um, yeah, that's dope to chakra. I can't wait to see uh, I
Can't wait to see what the friggin bears look like just running around like jump in shooting shit throwing shit at people
Trying to kill people like that's the action that I want. I want violence in the metaverse
That's only get an exciting when shit gets goddamn violent
If I can bash creeps over the head and Jill comes out of his nose
Snot drew drips down his his face. That's the type of action. I want to get involved with sorry creeps
I don't want to hurt you physically, but just in the metaverse
That's all right. I'd probably enjoy it
Different concepts like last night when I was showing curve the situation
They got one of this one of the guns get you like this electrocution
Sit you up whatever and it like makes your body go on this the formative state where you just keep like you're getting electrocuted
So it's different yeah, so it's kind of fun
And that's what I'm now that I figured out how to build the world first
And then I figure out how to load the characters in by that using the decimation
I hope you're gonna have fun with this and now
Now I want to make like I should like I put up earlier. I want to make my own fucking weapons, bro
So I gotta make my own make a lightsaber, bro. Oh
Close combat just pull it out. It's the lightsaber this motherfucker
Biz op them, you know, I say this is a more
This is a better situation cuz action the community about what what we want to do or what should we do in spatial?
no, right now all I'm seeing is uh,
Is the is this the swipe motion?
Which is like a sword or a stick site type of a situation or a shooting thing and then right now
I haven't seen a gun that's two-handed. So it's all probably one-handed guns. So yeah
This sounds amazing dude, I didn't like just the potential to be able to have the bears running around
Swipe through the pin sweets. I think it's like the third or fourth one all the way back. Let me see
Like artists to have individual war worlds, I put up as the main one look they're shooting and doing all sorts of crazy shit
It's a sappy seal. If anyone wants to know what the hell
You can advertise art in the space, too
Absolutely, you can have the ability to scan in there
You can scan certain things and you can scan certain items and see that it's an actual form of collection
It in from the paces actually has a really dope 3d scanner and he just fucking does it all man
Like he's a good guy that we should talk to as well, too. He's a great metaverse builder
He added us to a game as well, too
I think it's called something climb which is pretty pretty cool. I like a
Cross collaboration, you know when people see that we have great IPs. We have great community. We're strong. We're super active
People really care about the Bears
Yeah, I think just like putting putting it in the game like putting the Bears in the game
That would be pretty dope just to see we're in his game
And he and he has he has like the renders like if you want to pin up maybe something to the top goes back to you
No, no, no, you're right. You're right. I think just what I was just saying like imagine if like creeps had an island
creep head volcano in the middle of his island and you know, he got like a
You give me it's themed around him and that's where he entails his holders
You've got a you know a hangout that's themed around the art
you know if you're artists who has world building as a part of your
Main niche I guess in the space you do a lot of storytelling you you know have a world you're building
I could create a rare world and you know
Holders have access to come to this world and see the different aspects of the world
Physically in a sense you come play games kill each other do whatever you want find secret stuff
You got hidden around the land like creeps could do a
NFC like the balls he could hide one of the balls on his island somewhere and whoever finds it
He'll you know send the physical to them. I it's so me. I'll get me excited. You get me excited
ways to gamify using your nifty island and stuff that I was like
Yeah, this is this is it cuz you can kind of brand yourself around
You know you can actually brand it around what you already had built, and if you you know somebody who could
design 3d you can now take aspects of your
Create a marketplace where it's like oh you want you know this exclusive stuff from these artists
You know you have to now be a part of those
Ecosystems in a sense to have that cool rare sword or to be a you feel me a crazy creep character
Or you know whatever you know you're you're
You're looking to do with that like I could create a bunch of characters that are from rare world and have them as 3d assets
For people who fuck with my art to be able to run around nifty island no matter where they're at as a rare character
This is like ready player one in some ways
You know what I'm saying if you haven't seen that movie or read the book like super similar
It's weird like you have the potential to take a character and make it yours and you're running to other characters from different
You know universes and projects. It's just very cool. The potential is like this is a game-changer potentially in the future man
Definitely, I'm intrigued to see you know how much people are able to do with it like I've already noticed like
Yeah, like the beast communities
You know I've been going hard and like some of the artists I follow like emotional and you know the some of the 3d artists
They already have their little characters in the space. So yeah, my brain just started turning like yeah
This is this world building at its finest
You just you know as long as you willing to you feel me sit down and learn how to do each aspect like chakra
We're saying like you sit down and understand how to import 3d models how to build and you know things
Like that if you have the patience to kind of go about it
You definitely put yourself in a prime position to have something that differentiates you from the other
individuals creatives in the space like
Imagine a music artist with a full concert world and he throws concerts for his self and other artists
You mean he could charge him with like this my venue you feel me you come to my nifty world
I need you to pay me a Eve you feel me cuz it's tier 3
I got you know over two three thousand people who visit this world on the daily and
If we throw a concert here for your music you're guaranteed to see you feel me a thousand plus people come
Watch you, you know if it's a if it's a drop you dropping an NFT alongside that
You can have it in like the little gallery that chakra say like I'm I got an art piece in somebody's world where you
Walk in the gallery you click it and it goes to my NFT
So if you selling something you can how you like a little merch set up in your you feel me nifty world
Where people watching you perform this song they could go right to sound
XYZ and purchase the NFT and now you feel me you that's kind of your marketing kind of you hear me
So, yeah, I think the possibilities are endless and knowing me I could run off
Fucking examples for everybody in this room
Get some free game to everybody about how they could you give me utilize it chaos got the dance parties
We fucking had nightclub chaos nifty island nightclub. It'll be lit. Yeah
All I know is we're gonna we're gonna make in the future
I want to make a captain hunch running around popping his back is it juice all over everybody in
Because you can make your own yeah, you're making your own to make your own character part is so crazy
I don't I haven't that's the only thing it's missing is cuz if you see in the picture up and I'm gonna start testing that
Bitch this weekend cuz I'm gonna get on some jack
You already know what I'm gonna be him cuz I hate I hate the toot not the 2d
But the and that's the problem me and Tony we already we started with in the beginning
I hate making these spaces because we in 2024 why the fuck am I using a low poly, bro?
I'm not doing I did that just to learn how to do it and learn how to build this whole world
You know you come into it today if you see my island today or whatever
I called it that just gonna be different this weekend cuz I gotta make something that look real bro
I can't do that shit man. I like it
But if we run around with real stylized stylized characters, I want to be able to walk in not a real fucking looking buildings
I don't want to walk into a building that look like it's from a cartoon or some shit, bro. I'm not it's not 1998, bro
It's that mean this I'm just trying to look at looking to the space especially seeing what I've already done in space
So I'm like man. I'm you can open doors and shit and hit by hitting buttons
The only thing I've seen somebody doing this space
That I didn't really like when they did it in that sent in that specific element is the door was closed
And it was just a stationary situation, but when they click the push it to I mean to they click the button to open it
It don't open it. It just makes that with that space on the building
Invisible and I'm like no fuck that
Whoa, man, we gotta step that up that door should swing the fuck open
So I know it's an animation in there, and I got to figure that out, too
I was in a smiley else's face and people don't even know it yet
I don't know if a lot of people know but you can actually talk in nifty
Because I was in it's one of these smile
Some eyes island everybody was talking I was asking people how to do it
You got a person everything is hot keys to in there all the buttons and sit is to get in and out of spaces to do
Different things to build all of this hot keys. There's that little fucking Jack fair twirling around
like he's got the kush from
The dope heads and then he's got that purple bear just spinning around in the t-pose
I said later on we got when we get a we hop in a discord, bro
I'm gonna see I'm gonna do the same thing I did with toe down last night. Let me know
Whoever if we serious about getting into the game, let me know what color there you want
I send you to I send you the file and I'll walk you through it and we could all walk around
At the same way to video child. This is where like creative. That's what we did
Talk about last night on the he was cuz he was so excited to see all the carries like man
Hell yeah, he streamed it on
Instagram you so excited to see it
Cuz you got especially if you haven't played the game yet
You need to go in there right now and do because you gotta go through some preliminary shit to like learn how to jump
And do some goofy shit, but after that
No, it's been it's been really hype. They've literally spent a lot of marketing promotion
Trying to capture the attention of the attention of the NFT community by sponsoring spaces for the entire month
There's also like this other really big gaming community. They have this little G in their little badge their name
I don't know what they're called. I forget what they're called. Let me see. I think I have a
See if I can pull them up real quick
What are these what are these guys called?
They're a dope community and basically they're another gaming community gaming is is on the rise right now and not a huge gamer
I'm not knocking it in any sense. I do think that it's a huge narrative and it's gonna be a popular very popular
Narrative moving forward, but I'm not a huge gamer myself, but I like to play I would like to play nifty a little bit more
Because of the violence. It's a little bit more intriguing
The only thing I don't like is it's not mobile centric yet, but eventually I believe that it will
Catch up to some of those other platforms like spatial and have like oculus capability and shit like that
It'll be fucking dope to run in there 3d. There's also this really dope new floor that nobody knows about that use use kind of
You can walk in any direction and if you're using your AR headset
Generally, it would kind of like make you bump into the walls or throw you off balance
This thing keeps you right in the center child. I don't know how it does it it's some amazing technology
You can walk in any single direction and you're staying it right in the center
It's like moves you back into the center drifts you back slightly to the center
It's incredible technology, and I think that like you'll start seeing more tech kind of like support to say art
I've also seen Alex the NFT God the one that he said it's dead and yes, NFTs that fail
So that's why another reason why I think that this space is appropriate. He just changed and totally rebranded and
Yes, if you want to be a grifter and try to get the account he's already has it on his backup account
So nice try bozos, but anyways, I think I think that like
What we're really gonna see is the evolution of NFTs. We're gonna lean on the art
We're gonna lean on brands. We're gonna lean on communities people that are building an ecosystem
Around projects and individuals you can have the best tech in the world
But if you can't have people to adopt it appreciate it just doesn't work and you can have some of the best
but if it loses if it ever loses attention then after they become a liquid and
Not very not very great investments and then after just pieces of art on the blockchain and some people like we said
We have all opportunities to buy whatever we want. What whether they be tokens whether it be crypto layer one blockchains
A layer twos and protocols or being NFTs non fungibles
You know each and every one of us is an adult and we decide to buy what we fucking like base
I see chaos in the building. Let's hear his take chaos if NFTs failed GM GM big papa on this Fabio Loso fry
Baby, what is going on? My friend? How you doing, brother?
No, it's got the good chaos over here. I'm doing awesome big Tony. Just chillin
Munking around with Photoshop again. I just can't get enough of this crap. Oh my gosh
You know the first time I got a hold of Photoshop
Shoot, I want to say it was like Photoshop version two version three. Oh, man. It's gotten so good
I thought I think I got CS4 or maybe yeah C4. It's probably number version number four. Oh, there you go
On this one machine. I've actually got two machines hooked up to this huge
One's like a tiny little like, you know
Mini computer and one's a supercomputer
And the mini computer actually has CS6 on it
But the supercomputers got the new creative cloud suite and oh my gosh, this thing is
Absolutely bonkers. I just can't get enough of this generative fill
Holy crap, if you haven't tried it out, you've got to check out the generative fill. Oh man
But I have NFTs failed, you know, and there's plenty of NFTs that have failed. Yeah, you know, they're definitely plenty
But there's also some that you know have demonstrated some modest form of success and even some that have
You know catapults it to the moon
Unfortunately, they fell back to earth
But uh, you know, I think that the technology is sound the technology is solid
I still think we haven't quite discovered, you know, the killer use case for this
I'm still happy that at least we're here exploring
This really fun and fascinating and creative
Application for the technology, you know, this wave of crypto has been so much more
Enjoyable just because of the creative people that have been brought into the space by this NFT technology. So
NFTs have succeeded in drawing in a greater group of
People that otherwise would not have been interested in crypto and here we are
Having some fun with this technology
You know, there's a lot of things this has been a long space and a lot of things have been said along the way
I feel like I want to like reach back a few hours and touch upon some of those other topics
You know, what do you think about that little?
Monologue I just gave Tony. I
Agree I agree with you. I think the functionality
People are still finding it. I think people should
You know attach them to businesses and in products and services and have some sort of value long term
If there are artists themselves just trying to sell the art
There's nothing wrong with that as well, too
I think people deserve to get compensated for their hard work and get monetized for that as well, too
Yeah, you know, I really I really don't think that until we have, you know
More exciting use cases that draw in specific
You know target audiences that aren't here yet, you know
You know, I think we were going to continue to need some more of those use cases to draw in other people then haven't gotten
NFTs or in crypto in general, maybe it's not you know, NFTs that'll bring these new crowds in maybe it is but uh
You know, it's definitely something that doesn't exist yet
You know that will there's many mediums. There's sometimes it's defy sometimes. It's mean tokens
Sometimes it's Bitcoin or aetheriums
Maybe with this spot ETF they get the ultimate exposure first with their with their stock brokerage and then they say know what?
Fuck these guys. I want to be more self-directed. I'm done paying fees. I woke up. I was a little bit more woke, you know
Um, I don't know. I just think that there's so many different ways people get into crypto yesterday
I was listening to a few different spaces just as I was waking up early morning or today yesterday. I don't even know
And I was hearing the different ways that people kind of got their journey started, right?
Eventually, somebody saw this as an opportunity for a financial gain and let's all fucking be honest here
If there was absolutely no financial gain
Maybe we would spend a little bit of time on the app talking to some friends and hanging out in some spaces
But you know when there's a lot more on the line
I think people you know, they're here for that reason and when they're telling you they're not
Where's their where's their free mints for their art? Where's their free mints for their NFTs?
Where's the the giveaways that they're doing on their page? I just don't see it
So, you know at some point
people should be honest with themselves with their audience with their communities and be authentic and just say I am here for a better quality
Of life through crypto and NFTs and I'm trying to find the right projects communities coins and trying to get involved with them
And sometimes you don't know until you're there and there's nothing wrong with that as well, too
Sometimes you get rugs. Those are learning lessons not not else
But I just think right now in terms of like PFP projects if overall projects a lot of those investments
They're not doing financially very well
Some people are getting squeezed out of positions
I think that there's more of a creator economy going on right now and people that have attention or can kind of you know
Manipulate attention. Those are the people that are successful. Is it discouraging if you show up every single day and somebody just
someone's bag and has bots on their spaces and just paying influencers and then the token goes berserk and
Then after three three to five months later, you know
Their community gets annihilated and then you know creators just dump on them or there's a suspicious wallet that no one has accounted for
Before the actual launch that just liquidates a massive amount to have a payday
there's the shit that's happening every day like this and and we're getting smarter a
Lot of people still don't know what's going on
But you can't be an artist in a financial market in crypto and not know anything about crypto not know anything about
Define not know anything about anything really just know that I'm grifting around in a social media app asking for people for
money for a JPEG that you can't do
Not not around me. I don't I can't stand it gives me, you know
I don't know butterflies in my stomach, but not the good ones and I want to throw up chaos
But um, I totally agree with you because you know some you know, everyone's got their angle, right?
You know, everyone's here for a reason, you know, we're all in this room financial reason
Jocking for position angling for something, you know
but it's definitely crypto themed and
To imagine that it's not crypto themed and there isn't value attached to it would be a lot
The reason we're here is because we believe that this crypto is valuable, right?
And we also believe that, you know a certain artwork may be valuable
And we also believe that certain opportunities certain networking opportunities certain, you know
Collaboration opportunities are also valuable and so each of us
Attributes some you know, I got a question of value to this question for you
2016 2014 maybe even all the way back to 2013 Instagram was just totally evolving and
My personal personal account I still have a pretty big like following on there
I don't know maybe like 10 15
Maybe 17,000 at the most it was once out like 50, but I'm just not that guy on Instagram anymore, you know
And I used to do Instagram lives and stuff like that. It's like when a new platform comes out those first 10,000
Serious users of Instagram that are using it, you know in a business model in an entrepreneurial sense
You know taking like something that actually works and bringing it to social media
Like maybe if they're like a wallet protect company that like they're not asking for any money
They're not asking people to mint
They come to X because they want to promote and they want to get onto spaces and they want to help people and they just believe
In the technology and maybe they buy NFTs. Maybe they do meme coins. Maybe they don't maybe they don't do NFTs
Maybe they do. I I just think that like if you have the opportunity to network with the first
5,000 10,000 hundred thousands
There's guys that I I met and I was DM in and I used to chat with there's people like Ty Lopez Gary V
Grant Cardone, they've all retweeted and post some of my shit
On their social media platforms or engaged with my shit and it follow me
But what I'm trying to say is like if you could get in and network with the with the first
10,000 of the early builders of any project any network any social media platform any maybe even blockchain
Or even like the first hundred thousand because you know, it's just such a small small community
It could be really really
Opportunist like like there's lots of opportunities some of those people that I used to know chaos
They have right now like six seven figure business all from social media because they didn't stop from 2013
They didn't have to go and do like a brick-and-mortar business and get their fucking hands dirty
You know like but you know each teach teach their own and like more success to them
I'm not hating or anything like that. We both had our own direction in our own past, but I think
When people come to social media, right? Like what what are they posting about? Is it just self-centered?
Self-centered topics is it like is there NFTs just relating to them in their their art or their community?
Or is it kind of like engaging with everybody? Is it trying to you know, bring attention to a specific topic niche?
You know, like what what value are they providing through the platform whether it be through like I don't know their art their giveaways
You know organizing art galleries like, you know teaching people whatever they do to add value
I don't I could come in so many different forms here on X or even on social media
But I just think it's like the opportunity to get in early
It's always been something huge even with like angel companies like uber and coinbase and like angel investors
I got in super super early. Um, I don't know dude. I think that's that's that's the key, right?
You want to be a pioneer you want to be somebody that's gonna
Evolutionize the way things are doing it. I want to be known for like yo that guy fucking Tony
Young boarded so many fucking people into web 3 with doodle genics motherfuckers came from the block to the blockchain
Motherfuckers came from like all sorts of directions, you know, men
Women it's I don't even know what you want to be called anymore
Well, you know the pronouns every pronoun in the goddamn book
We want to onboard people and and people don't realize that we do that every single day through these spaces
We spent like half an hour to 45 minutes onboarding people on metamask wallet or getting them the right polygon from different chains
And then being so kind of ignorant and uneducated to even like know what's going on
But then be pumping a polygon project not even having polygon in their wallet, you know, like
people get caught up into the hype people get caught up into the like foolishness and
There's a lot of people that come to the platform just to just to chase the views just to just to just to get up
They're an engagement farm and I wish that they do engagement for him. It's good for engagement. So if it's working
Don't break it. Keep on engagement and keep on farming, but you're the man chaos
well, you know, I I totally agree with a lot of what you said there and I think it's super important to you know
Make sure that the people who you're teaming up with or who you're deciding to you know
Spend your crypto collecting
NFTs or whatever the case is whoever it is that you're getting involved in whatever way
I just highly recommend that you be patient and stick around long enough to find out is this person, you know
Like a genuine participant in the ecosystem, you know
They're in the greater ecosystem. Are they doing valuable things?
Are they providing any sort of value or are they a black hole for liquidity, you know?
And you know, you can easily look at the blockchain and you can see, you know
Earlier it was being talked about about what are you gonna do with or the crypto that's been raised?
Well, you can look on the chain and see, you know, where has it moved since mint?
I mean if you take a look at the chaos cube contract if you take a look at the chaos token contract
You'll see that there's a bunch of ease that's still sitting there
You know, it's it wasn't hoover it out and spent on my glamorous lifestyle. No
No, no, you know who you also want to watch and see who is a responsible steward
You know of the of the tokens who is a responsible steward?
Are they coming through with that?
Are they delivering on the things that they're promising or are they just a black hole for liquidity, you know?
There's some of us that you know are relatively new to NFTs
Are just overall crypto experience and you know
You got to find people that are in the space
For an extended period of time, you know
I you happen to be stuck here like I'm stuck in crypto
Like that's just the position I find myself in I'm stuck, you know
And because I'm stuck in crypto at this point
You know, I'm trying to find new fun exciting interesting things to do here because like, you know
This is gonna be part of my you know life for you know
The the next I don't know five decades or whatever, you know
Where this shit goes and I'm putting my chips, you know on the table
You know, I'm putting my nuts on the chopping block because I believe in crypto
I believe in the greater crypto theme and how important that it's gonna be in the future
I also believe in NFTs. I believe in beautiful artwork. I believe in supporting artists. I believe in all this stuff
However, I am trapped in the crypto ecosystem at this point, right?
I'm stuck here and I better find a way to enjoy myself and a way to
Verify that this technology is actually functional and doing the same shit that it, you know says that it does, right?
It was partly out of you know
The desire to look under the hood and be like does this technology actually do what it says it does?
Okay, you know, I'm a developer
I'm a programmer I can get in there and monkey around and see if you know
You type in one plus one if the correct answer comes out
So I got in there start a monkeying around I got in deeper start a monkeying around more now
I believe you know deeply in the capabilities of this technology
because I've seen it working first hand and I built things that actually work and
Accomplish the things that I intended them to do right? I can see the technology working that builds
additional confidence for me to take money from IRL and
Keep scooping fucking tokens, right? If you're not stacking tokens on the side
You know with IRL funds you're missing out on the biggest opportunity here, you know, so
What I think is the most important is that we align ourselves with long-term?
Participants we find out, you know
What kind of interesting angles that they have that they might vote what reasons they're here for, you know
Maybe that will help us find more of our own reasons to be here and be a participant a long-term participant
You know, you're gonna see artists coming out of the space, you know get frustrated get disinterested
But I'm stuck at this point
I'm stuck here and I'm just trying to find ways to enjoy the ride, right and
To verify to myself that this shit actually does what it says it does and at a technology level
You bet your ass it does, you know, so we're here having fun. We're building. We're making new interesting stuff
We're helping out other people, you know, and we're gonna be here
So look out on the fucking landscape
Find some good people that are long-term participants that actually know what the hell they're doing or at least
They have some type of an angle that aligns with your belief system, you know
And I'm not talking about a show up pump the bags and get out of town kind of person
I'm talking about a show up and keep showing up type of person
I'm talking about, you know, a lot of these people that are in the room that I didn't know this time last year, but
Halfway through last year I met them and I decided, you know
These are my people and these are these are these people themselves are reasons to keep showing up
So we're here and you know, we're here for the long haul. I can't wait for what happens this year
Stack some crypto don't burn it all on NFT stack some crypto sit it on the side
You know, we're we're here for the long term and we're gonna have fun
And if you don't want to have fun, then you better find another room
Hello, thank you guys that was an awesome take I like the ranks I love the ranch
It's passionate it gets me going. It makes me want to kick shit in my house here, you know and just break shit
Absolutely dope and I appreciate that. Yes, you know if you're launching some technology
Make sure that it does what you say it does make sure that you know
You feel confident about it as well too and also be open to feedback a lot of people did not really well at taking feedback
You know that's unfortunate because sometimes the best feedback could be the best way that you can fix your product service
Or just tailored towards the masses. So cast absolutely, right?
I look forward to what you're doing here in 2024 with the collection and everything building and growing
That's uh toss the mic. What's up and say to Rima. She's been here chilling out
Riding out the conversation listening. I hope Rima GM my friend. How are you doing?
Put her in the cage Steve
But she's going in the cage, unfortunately, sorry, I got three in the the gross cage

A Russian cartoon and do you know what they made they use the Russian words

Not typically a typical Italian ending here and they use like a bandito
Senorito bivanto bivanto it means kill the people but they
Is when they said bivanto is a Russian word, but with
uh, there's in banco million or plivant on the corner and it means uh,
We keep money in the bank millioni and we just

Blow your hose and you know smoke your smoke toke your toe. That's that's Frank Sinatra right there
How did it please please try to sing it like a frank sinatra. No, that's chaos. He's uh, and then we have
Well, the weather outside is frightful
But on my nuts, you're so delightful
With the lights, they'll turn down low

Little crown over here too
