That is not a shot, it's a 2-0.
Don't you tell them you got it for me.
That's it, it's not my new therapy.
I've been building up my legacy.
Honey's a, honey's a foe.
I've been up some hustle plans, stuck at the top.
And there's nowhere to go.
I was just a nigga like, damn, I might get in the drop.
This party's under the floor.
I was just a nigga like, damn, some niggas got cropped.
Soon as we land, we make it go pop.
Give her a grant, third to tonight.
Got rid of man and nigga got blocked.
Give her a tan, I'm already hot.
I got the land to send and all the views and really all you do is plot.
I give you the bands and bands and all the jewels and really all you do is plot.
You never sleep, you strike a hundred and two millions in weeks.
Got her running, they're riding for me.
When it's sunny, we gotta retreat.
Straight from London, she out in the east.
Lettuce a fish and keep through receipts.
Don't you tell them you got it from me.
After this, I'ma need therapy.
Hit the request button, reach meet the room.
I got a ride with a 40-year-old lady.
You invited me to leave with me.
What you put in your mind?
I got the land to send and all you do is plot.
You never sleep, you strike a hundred and two millions in weeks.
Got her running, they're riding for me.

Bitch, I'm sick, I was thinking if I ran into fit
But I never get high off the shit that I believe
If a producer don't take off his tent, I'll do it myself and I'll remake the beat
When I go shopping, I'll spend in the bag
It's such a fool when I hold up the receipt
I've been going ghost to my doors, I'm suicidal
Looking in the mirror like I really am that guy
Do my gang, I don't feel like suicide
I'm a Jesuit, check out a red eye
Roll up a split, make some trouble with that guy
I'm supposed to hate it and then I still don't know why
So fuck it's full but I'm molly in a cacti
It's no sleep, it's wrecking two million seats
Gotta run in there, run it for me
Shout out to PNACE, Arbuno, Ola, Tawaka
We got Paisie, Spring Alex in the building, Too Faced
You can see everybody, Artiga
We got Hellcut in the house
Do you think that that's possible with NFTs?
Yeah, I definitely think it is possible
because first it's the tech that can kind of keep the data
in the right place and organized and accessible to everyone
through transparency as well.
So, and for the artists, like any artist beginning
who doesn't have, you know, somewhere to showcase,
well, why not come to the web first off
and be able to, you know,
put that digital signature on the artwork.
Like for me, NFTs absolutely work.
They have been working since 2018.
You know, I'm not saying I'm rich from it
but it's the potential and growth with the time
that I put in will lead me to essentially what I need.
And now that I have the fine arts side of thing web two
I'm kind of also bridging the accessibility
to like NFC chips that'll be, you know,
kind of preloaded with the NFT.
So yeah, printing in Australia soon
and sending out some NFC chips to authenticate the artworks.
Where are you based out of?
I'm in Canada right now, I'm Ottawa.
I like it bro, I'm bullish on Canadians, let's fucking go.
I'm in Toronto and so you're like fucking colder than us.
You're probably still covered in snow.
Today we're experiencing some rain so it's heating up
and so is the NFT market and I absolutely agree with you.
I think the Canadian economy could probably do
with a lot more NFTs for many reasons.
There's like technology, there's utility,
there's accessibility, there's community,
there's transfer of value.
There's so many different use cases for NFTs
and I like to take and I like that you've had
some experience with some of your collectors
and investors actually wanting to own the commercial rights
and the commercial usage for those NFTs.
So that's dope stuff, we're gonna keep on going,
we're gonna spin it around the room.
Anything you wanna add real quick Luke
before we get to the next speaker, brother?
No, that's good, thank you very much.
Are you off for the rest of the day?
You smoke and weed, you get it, it's very dope.
Yeah, well, I haven't done much yet today.
I have a design, essentially I'm gonna be minting
on Courgere, I can't even say it, Courgere Studios.
Probably this evening, I've got a piece that's done
and I've got one halfway.
So I'm gonna probably launch two auctions
on Courgere Studios as my first pieces in there.
I had a crypto writer contact me yesterday
asking me to approach his platform there on Polygon.
So same, the family was waiting.
Yeah, I used to hate Polygon NFTs.
Polygon NFTs to me were just dirt.
Skirpy was one of the first gentlemen
that kind of got me excited about a few Polygon projects,
his project, a few other ones that were in the ecosystem
and kind of opened my eyes to saying like,
hey, don't knock the chains until you try them.
And then after that, we've seen dope projects
from Mooka Swaka, from Panda Doodles, from WIC,
from so many of the communities.
I like the Brozor, I like the Wreck Gang.
There's some dope projects on Polygon
and I think that Polygon still has a lot of way to grow
and I still think that there's a lot of room
The artwork, and if you're an artist,
this is like the essential, like that you learn NFTs.
It's pretty much you're gonna be your saving grace.
It's gonna be your opportunity to have a digital business,
to work with projects, to work with brands,
to work with businesses and don't stop just at the art.
If you're an amazing artist,
if you're an amazing digital designer, graphic designer,
AI artist, maybe you're somebody that does physical art,
art can open you so many doors for fashion,
for concepts, for brands and for advertising.
It's not that you're just peddling your PNGs
or your JPEGs here in the space.
So you never know who's collecting your NFTs
and sometimes these commercial rights
and sometimes the ownership rights,
you could do amazing stuff with them
or you might find people that wanna explore
those commercial rights with you
and want you to develop further art.
don't be scared to explore the different sides
of tech and utility and also like accessibility
and prominence with NFTs.
There's just so much to do, there's so much to explore.
I think we're just super early.
I say this all the time, Luke, we're stupid early
and I'm stupid bullish on crypto and NFTs.
So I appreciate you being here, bro.
Here's a little hint as well on two physicals.
I'm taking this the other way around.
I'm taking this print up top with Sacred Geometry
which has a physical piece which was done.
And then the minimalism was added by AI and digital arts
and I'll be reprinting these ones.
So there isn't like an actual physical of this that exists
but I'll make them turn into physical
and add NFC chips to them.
So I got a series of 14 I'll be minting over time
and I'm a sub screen printer.
So I'm gonna do a nice little job with those.
When it gets done, come back, give us an update.
A lot of people actually doing stuff with the art.
I wanna go around the room
and I wanna say what's up to my man, Foto C
and then after we're gonna kick it over to Chai and Carter
and then we got set sail guys hit the request button
before the room fills up quickly.
We just had this pop-up space.
I see some legends up here in the building already.
For you too, Tony, how are you?
I'm just finished the day early.
I said, know what, to hell with it.
The THC in the caffeine, baby.
I'm all about the fixes right now.
I'm sipping on some, I mean, sipping on some caffeine.
I'm excited to be here with the community
and also just really deep dive
because there's so much change that's happening in 2024
from like more optimized contracts to interoperability
to gaming, to meme tokens.
So I'm really trying to stay on top of it.
And if you missed crypto punks, if you missed board apes,
if you missed the big run,
you might miss this one as well too.
So you got to stay vigilant.
You got to stay woke, baby.
That's what I'm trying to do here
with you guys, amazing folks.
Where do you think the market's going?
Do you think NFTs have the power to be a revolutionized,
like a revolutionizing technology that may transform,
you know, digital concepts and ownerships of right
I am a hundred percent more and more convinced
that that's the way to go,
in particular when it comes to ownership.
I think, I really think, you know,
I'm seeing more and more traditional businesses
coming into the NFT world.
I, you know, I just, I just can't see it.
Otherwise NFTs are becoming a lot more popular nowadays.
Like just yesterday, I was watching a Netflix movie
and they were making references to NFT.
That was the first time I saw that.
So for me, for me, yeah, it's going to be,
it's going to, it's going to be definitely have a,
it's going to have an impact on the concept of ownership.
In fact, you know, I was actually attending a conference
recently here in my area and there was a startup already,
you know, proposing NFTs that represent
like a portion of a building.
So for example, they tokenized the building
and you have it in the form of NFT
and you become the owner of the portion of that building.
So that's a very concrete application of NFTs, you know.
And there are many other ways you can use that.
So I think, you know, if, you know,
I've been here only six months, maybe a little bit more,
but from what I learned, I can,
I can definitely say you can do almost really
almost anything in this world.
There's just so much to do.
And it's like you say, there's a lot going on.
I've missed on a lot of things.
It's hard for me to keep up with,
with everything that's going on,
but I just see it happening.
And for me, there's no way out.
That's what I wanted to say.
Let me ask you something photo scene.
I like your take, brother.
So thank you for coming up and sharing.
Hopefully you're well, Big Papa.
It's Friday, the weekend is kicking off.
In your learnings, with your experience,
with the projects, with the collections
that you've been invested in,
would you say that the functionality
for NFTs still have long way to go?
Or do you think that they're more functional now
Well, I'm not sure what you mean by functional life.
What does your JPEGs do for you?
Yeah, my JPEGs, yeah, well, my JPEGs are,
Not specifically, what are the JPEGs
Do they have any function?
It's like having a Swiss army knife, right?
It's a can opener, it's a saw, it's scissors.
It has so many functions, right?
Yeah, yeah, I see what you mean.
As an artist, I think it's like you said before,
the main function they have right now is they open doors.
They provide me additional opportunities
to other endeavors, like for example,
I was able to join a group of artists
who are working on courses, I think that matter to me.
So for example, I joined a local organization here
that works on a Web3 project.
So it opened me that door
to develop a crypto application,
a Web3 application for an NGO.
There's an NGO like, you know,
Doctors Without Borders, I don't know if you know it.
That's a French translation,
but they are looking for a way
to collect crypto donations and they came to us.
So us being me and those who brought me in the group
to work on that project, that's an exciting project.
So for me, what my JPEGs did to me,
physically, not much really.
I was looking of course, like many for the money,
but I gained much more than that.
So I think for me, the main function of my JPEGs,
those that post of course are to,
I guess be some sort of expression for myself,
like a way to work on my creativity, but also open doors.
Does that answer your question?
Really vague, if an alien came to earth today
and he said, what are the functions of me owning an NFT?
I don't think he would buy one.
I think that like, he would probably buy some JPEGs
and PNGs that would have no value.
But in your aspect, for you it was valuable, right?
For your specific use case or for your specific instance,
It opened doors and it put you in contact
with different community members that needed your resources
and wanted to hire you maybe to build a DAP,
maybe to build a decentralized application
that could help collect crypto.
I think that there are a lot of platforms out there
and it's pretty easy just to set up a wallet
and say, send crypto here.
So, but no, I like the concept.
I think that personally, my opinion,
they have long ways to go.
I think that people really, really don't understand that,
the art is the central starting point of the ownership,
but like the tech, the utility, the access, the community,
the prominence that you get from that ownership
is really where people are gonna get the value.
Not necessarily just for the art.
Like there's a lot of people that are up here in the space
that don't even provide a high quality resolution image
for individuals to print.
And they're a hundred percent artists, right?
Like that should be your biggest thing if you're an artist.
You're like, hey, I'm buying your art.
People should focus on like the image size,
the pixel size, like letting people know,
like, hey, listen, you could go to Ikea
and buy some canvases off the shelf or off the wall.
But if you're here in the Twitter space
and you're connecting with me,
And you're getting high quality file sizes
so you can actually recreate, print them
If you're an artist, right?
Like if you're just an artist
and sometimes people say, well, I'm just an artist.
Well, you're just an artist,
but at the same time, you're a business owner,
you're deciding to use your artwork
to reach more people here on chain.
And I think that a lot of people just kind of
have this idea that like, you know,
the art itself will just carry them
to their success here in web three.
And I don't think that's necessarily the truth.
I think it's a combination of many things.
And I also think that it does have the power,
but also we're a long ways to go.
And if I'm wrong, you know,
hopefully we have some people up here
with great opinions and great takes
and we can go to it, we can get to it.
But I honestly think that if you buy thousands of JPEGs
and literally there's no functionality
for 80 to 90% of these JPEGs,
we're just investing into like e-liquid assets.
And there is no transfer of value,
there's no prominence, you own the artwork,
but there's not much that we can do with it.
And even if we're provided
like some of those high quality sizes, right?
There's only a certain amount of walls
that you have in your house.
Like eventually you're gonna stop collecting
from a specific artist or maybe not.
Maybe you just love the artwork
and you're gonna collect for a lifetime,
but I guarantee you if it becomes financially overbearing,
it doesn't make sense to pick up the NFTs.
But I honestly think that we're gonna have
many, many new founders, collections.
I think the environment is gonna change.
I think regulation, legislation is gonna change.
And I think like the ownership concept of NFTs
is gonna grow more popular in 2024 than it ever was before.
I don't think the bull market is gonna happen
but I think it could set us up for a massive catalyst
and maybe 25, 26, maybe even 2027.
And if we looked at just like objective facts
with statistics of massive companies
and conglomerates coming to Web3 in 2023,
there was a massive uptick.
I held a space a few weeks ago
and out of like 50 of the top fashion brands in the world,
21 of them already have NFTs,
including Gucci, Nike, Adidas, Hermes,
a lot, lots of them, absolutely lots of them.
And also as you, there's that
and also you mentioned earlier the environment.
I don't know if I told you last time I joined,
I was trying to do more open calls.
And what I found is that in these open calls,
there's more and more cities,
more and more areas that are looking to display NFTs.
So that's like an additional exposure for artists.
So there is like some sort of appetite
for the digital art artwork itself.
So that's to me new, I haven't seen this last year.
And I see, I mean, it was maybe there,
but I see it more this year.
So I don't know if it's new at all,
but it's new to me for sure.
Give you an example real quick.
Chun Li, today's the 26th, I believe.
She has a gallery that's going on right now
I wanted to make it out there,
but I just couldn't get down there.
And basically, I don't believe
that they're just talking about NFTs.
They're talking about digital artwork.
And whether it's in the NFT realm
or just people admiring it as digital artwork,
I think it has an opportunity to bridge the gap.
So absolutely agree with you, Big Papa.
Let's say what's up to Chai my guy.
And then I want to go to Carter.
Chai, what is cooking, brother?
GM, GM, how you feel it on this fry?
Oh man, I'm about to, shit.
Just finished this little bit of work.
I just get some stuff from the store
to make some of the equal house.
And then, I'm going to hang out in the discord, man.
I'm going to chill out and get drunk, man.
Later on, listen to some music.
We're going out later on here in a little bit.
I know y'all going to be in spaces.
Not too long, not too long.
We got to jump out and refresh and hit the reset.
We should be here for a few hours,
trying to do it probably till like seven o'clock,
eight o'clock, a couple of hours.
King of Hearts has a space at nine.
Reset, hit the discord, chill out with the homies,
chill out with the family.
Yeah, when we jump into VC, I will,
because I don't know how many people will be available.
I'll walk through the little joints,
because I think I got like four of them up right now.
I walk through them with whoever's in the voice chat.
I walk through all the little shits,
the little missions or whatever.
And then I'll show off all the attachments that I've made.
And maybe I'll give a couple of cold people a chance
to jump in space or to get some of them.
Because all of them aren't about the game.
Some of them are just like the doodle doodle chain.
I got two of them in there.
So I might make them available later on tonight,
so people from the community can go in there and get them.
Dope, dope, super dope, Chai.
Chai Chakra's talking about some assets in a spatial,
some assets in the 3D environment.
So I'm definitely interested.
And Chai, well, I have you up here.
Do you think that NFTs have the power
to change the digital revolution of ownership online?
Do people really care what they own online?
Or is it just kind of like something
that's not really interesting?
It's not really appealing to most people.
Do you think the providence of it?
Like, oh, I own this digital asset.
And nobody else can use it.
Do you think that people will wanna use it?
Will people wanna rent these avatars?
Will people wanna use these on IPs?
Or is it just something like a narrative
that's just too undeveloped, too raw right now?
Oh man, this goes back to one of the projects that I'm in
and that I help out a lot with
because I don't wanna see it fail.
And I'll explain it to y'all without even showing,
without even talking about the project.
Just imagine, however many years ago
when the Simpsons first came out,
if you could buy and own Bart,
or you could buy and own Lisa or Homer,
if you could own that character,
be the voice of that character and actually own it,
that's one of the projects that I'm in.
That's what the concept was.
I'm thinking that's what you're talking about.
It's like, because there's so many aspects of this,
the web three and on those digital content,
digital things, I think about it in that space.
because cartoons is getting bigger and bigger
and some of them get shittier and shittier.
But just imagine the fact of the day
when Rick and Morty came out,
if you could buy, if they had a release
because there's been different Rick and Morty
type characters in the cartoon.
If you could own a specific type,
you know, if you could own that character
for whenever that happened,
whenever that character is introduced in the film
or during one of the cartoon episodes,
You mention, you get the back end money on that situation.
These are the kind of situations,
is because what you're talking about,
the digital ownership part,
because in the real world,
or 20 people can own that Rick and Morty,
but in this, in web three,
And you can show proof of record of that shit,
blockchain is gonna cover it.
because you've been taking pictures,
you've been broadcasting, you talk about it.
I think it's gonna be really easier
to show ownership of different products.
I think if you pick the right company
and they're well developed
you might see some profit
and people may wanna own those digital IPs
kind of like that whole Simpsons and Bart concept.
I just feel like there's so many communities
and companies that already have millions,
have already even achieved billions of dollars.
And still we haven't seen the development of it.
I think like Azuki is like a big one.
And I know how expensive it is
to actually make animated films.
I know how expensive it is,
even to hire a company like Pixar.
It's like frame by frame animation.
I'm sure we have some professionals
that are from the industry here
that could tell you how costly it's been.
But I just don't see some of the biggest brands
And I'd like to see more development from it.
I like what Gary Vee's doing.
In a quick space with Bart,
he mentioned to Bart that he has over 20,000 different IPs
in his hand-drawn Gary Vee OG collection here with Vee friends.
And his idea and his concept is
to develop these 20,000 characters out,
like they're almost Marvel characters
with each of them having their own clothing line,
their own books, their own toys,
their own trading cards, their own shoes,
like 20,000 of them, right?
So it's like kind of like this forever project
and this forever ownership.
But I haven't seen them yet break bread
with any of the collectors
that actually own that specific image, right?
I'm excited to do something very much
like what Aura was talking about the other day
of like having some stuff that sells
and then finding a way to break some bread
Making sure that those individuals
that have specific doodlegenic bears
with specific token IDs and trade groups and asset classes,
they get qualified to maybe receiving
or they get qualified for receiving some
of the product sales when we do physical items.
And these are huge opportunities and IP is huge.
Right now we have a non-commercial agreement usage
but that's gonna change in the future.
And I really, really am excited
for what Ugalabs has done with Made by Apes.
And I want you guys to take a look at it.
It's on the Basie website.
If you go to the Ugalabs website
or the board a Twitter profile page,
you'll be able to see it.
It's a redesigned 3D kind of like a website
And their concept is to just really feature
and showcase a lot of the stuff
that the community has built organically
and Apecoin, the governance of it is huge,
they're Dow and then Made by Apes
is like products, services, companies
that people have taken their digital IP ownership
from a board ape or a Macy or a Colonel
or something within the ecosystem
and decided to use it as the main art for their business
and use it as the main logo for their business.
And I think that's really cool.
And I wanted to do that over a year ago
with a product line here for THC.
And maybe my man Hi TV can goddamn help me.
GM, good afternoon, good evening.
Yeah, man, we're definitely gonna have to figure something
out if that's the mission, anything is possible.
We just got to put a little bit of time
and effort into it, brother.
I need your help on those.
Well, we got to get on a Discord call, get on a call.
We could definitely figure something out.
I'm sure we could put something together
when it comes to like product
and what you're looking to do with it.
So basically what I wanted to do
was I really wanted to utilize the imagery.
I really wanted to use the art.
I think that's one of the coolest thing
about the mutinates and Hi TV has a sexy one himself
smoking just like Daddy Genex.
So I really wanted to use it.
And the thing was like, I paid a few companies, not a lot,
like $40, $50, this one company wanted like $300
just to make like literally less than a one inch cast,
like less than a one inch by one inch cube cast.
I just didn't think it was worth it.
So some of the other ones didn't really come out
as great as I intended it to.
Very, very lackluster, lack of detail.
So yeah, dude, the only thing that we need to do
is just make a mold of these things
and then get these jellies printed,
get these THC gummies out to people that want them.
I know that doodle genic community is super bullish
on the cannabis industry.
And there's a lot of DJs out here that just love smoking.
I'm rolling up right now, but what's your take?
Where do you think the NFT community or industry is going?
Do you think that a little bit more functionality
or maybe use case for some of the IPs, the art,
maybe the technology, or even like the prominence
of having the NFT should be focused on a little bit more?
I think that we're gonna see a lot more transition
with cannabis into NFTs pretty soon during the bull.
But honestly, like the thing is,
it's not just coming out with a design,
it's coming out with a product
that's gonna be successfully good for the consumer.
The imagery is always good, right?
You're always gonna have something that's gonna attract people
with something like doodle genics or board ape
Or it doesn't really matter what design it is,
it's just you have to also get in contact
with the right people to get the right product
So it's always good to have an idea
and set forward on what you wanna do
with the cannabis industry.
It's just kind of linking up with the right people
that are gonna give you the right products.
And more stickier than my fingers rolling the sweet.
Give him some follow, give him some love.
It's Cush Mint, it's coming in at 31%.
I'm pretty shocked on this.
It was at $100 plus tax price point.
Yo, Keith was living his best life here
in Canada and Toronto while he was here.
Bro, I saw the pictures, I saw all the pictures
and I was like, yo, I was so jealous.
I was so jealous, I was like, bro,
I would have took a trip out there
to hang out with the boys and just vibe a little bit,
smoke up some gas and that Cush Mint.
Man, that shit's fire, bro.
It's one of my favorite strains actually, so.
Yo, I pinned up something up to the top
and maybe for some people that haven't really deep dive
and don't know you as well as I do,
do you want to give them a little kind of introduction
or what you're trying to do in the cannabis industry
and how you want to kind of leverage or utilize NFTs?
Well, I'm just, I put it together.
I'm a photographer, a videographer.
I also work in, I also happen to work
with a lot of growers and stuff like that.
And if there's an opportunity to put something together,
I'll be there to make sure I can stick it nice
and tight together so they can make sure
everything goes smoothly.
But if you guys are interested in collaborating
with a cannabis brand and your NFT brands,
You just got to take a realistic look at it
and how good can you push the product?
because we lost you, you jumped out of the Wi-Fi
for a second, you stuck your window,
stuck your head out the window like a car, baby.
Like a dog in the car, like doji in the car.
Run that back one more time, baby.
I'm driving right now at this bad service.
I'm just saying like, it's not about just having a good image.
It's about having good product and.
Good image, good business.
That's what he wanted to say.
I almost fucking know it.
I have a super power, I'm reading his brain right now.
You're rugged and bad, but now I got it too.
So now I'm fucked too, I'm even worse.
Now we're going to battle this shit out together.
High TV is a fucking legend up here in the spaces.
Make sure you follow him and he's absolutely right.
And that's what I really wanted to focus and stress on.
The art gets people's attention, get them hyped,
maybe brings in like-minded individuals
that like the similar style
or maybe the similar kind of concept or medium.
But also you have to focus on
the actual business aspect of it.
How you can grow the business,
what you can do to push the business.
And it's not easy, believe me, it's not easy.
You could have an NFT that has the sexiest art,
but doesn't mean that you're going to sell out,
doesn't mean your project is going to be successful.
If there's no functionality for what we're doing
and we're doing a whole lot with our NFTs,
like people want to own something
that makes them feel a part of it.
People want to own something that gives them extra value,
whether it's in a space, whether it's in a Discord,
whether it's resources, whether it's knowledge,
whether it's just great people,
whether it's IRL experiences,
whether it's discounts on products,
whether it's special perks,
like you have like a frequent flyers point card
or something, people want to get something back
when they're making these investments.
Believe me, they love art, but even more so,
they love to actually play with stuff.
We love to actually use things as human beings.
I can't stop using the phones.
I got like three, four, five phones over here.
Doodle, they say, how many phones do you need?
I'm like, well, I need to be on space.
I need to be in his space and her space and his space
because they say I never show up.
I'm trying to show up as much as possible
with four different phones.
I'm just saying, it's not easy.
Who's paying, who's paying the fucking bills on these things?
Who's paying the fucking service costs
on four different phones?
I know Carter, is it Carter?
Good afternoon, good evening.
Happy Friday, yeah, baby.
Happy Friday, happy Friday, everyone.
Yeah, we were coding all day in the lab here.
My eyes were burning, falling out of my head,
and I figured I'd jump on the Twitter spaces
and I see my boy Tony, holy shit,
doing a late night or an evening,
whatever we wanna call it.
But you know, regarding NFTs,
I spent a good part of the day today,
we're getting ready to start tokenizing fine art.
And there's a lot, obviously a lot more legalities
involved with just selling a normal NFT
because they are considered securities.
So we are working with a company called Vertalo.
I don't know if you're familiar with them or not, Tony,
or maybe I can just send you the link.
But a couple of my artists that are contracted
to the Be Nice platform are fine artists
like Shelly Franz, her average work sells
for about a million dollars in the real world.
So we wanna open that fine art up to the world
So hey, look, million dollar piece of art,
we tokenize it, everybody owns a little piece,
everybody can make some money.
And the truth is, fine arts outperformed the S&P 500
And everybody can own a piece of a masterwork.
I didn't post a picture of one of Shelly's works,
I posted one of Renda Ryder's murals up there
because I wanna spread love for the weekend.
But if you like, I could post some of her work up there.
Tony, check her out, ShellyLFranz.com.
Pin it up, pin it up to the top.
Yeah, I like the idea of expensive assets
fractionalized on the blockchain
because then it gives it a lot of opportunity
with decentralized platforms and dApps
to kind of collateral, to kind of leverage,
to trade against, it gives it a lot of opportunity.
It's like almost like this digital value
that's backed by maybe the digital or physical artwork.
For me, it makes sense, it's this concept I understand,
but it's a concept that's really, really new.
For a lot of people, I've seen a lot of real estate
that's been fractionalized on the blockchain.
There's a few members from our community
that do it as well too in Miami, legally.
And it's dope, dude, it's really exciting.
And I think fractionalization is huge.
We actually used fractionalization
to help sell some of our NFTs Carter
when we did it with Tezos.
So I gave people the opportunity to own a dollar NFT
and own the right amount,
like, I don't know what it was at the time,
30 of them for $1 and flip those over to an Ethereum NFT
and just pay for their gas.
So like pay minimalistic for the ownership
and accumulate accumulated over time fractionalized
instead of like low income people
that maybe just didn't even have 30 or a hundred dollars,
but wanted to get like three doodle genics
And I definitely see the value of it.
It's already been proven and tested.
We raised like over 16,000 volume in Tezos.
And I think that we're gonna see it a lot more,
especially in real estate.
Yeah, I see it coming too for real estate
and there's people out there doing it with watches
But the leading forefront country and it's Switzerland
and there's a lot of stuff happening
that I'd love to talk to you off the air.
So how did you find these people?
How did you get in with these people?
And what do you think the narrative is gonna be?
Do you think that you're trying to be like
the leading art, fine art broker in the NFT community
with this treasury that you're trying to create?
Like what's the overall goal?
Let me start by answering the first question.
By mistake, one of my holders-
You end up meeting those people in Switzerland.
I'll tell you how I met the artist.
The artist I met through one of our holders of our NFTs,
it's a sister-in-law, that's where it all started.
And then I had to figure out what I was gonna do with her
because she fell in love with the whole Be Nice movement
and our team and she said, I wanna work with you guys.
So it kind of shifted our project in a different direction.
So I started doing my recon and that started
by going to Christie's auctions
and going to fine art exhibitions
and just faking it till I made it, brother,
and go in meeting people in the fine art community.
And it's the truth, like, I'm a street guy from Jersey.
What do I know about fine art, right?
So I spent a whole year figuring out the fine art community
and how those people move because they move differently.
And it's all about, all true wealth moves through fine art.
And what looks repulsive to me,
someone may be willing to pay $3, $4 million for.
But at the end of the day,
what do we plan on doing with it?
We plan on making it available to the whole world
I mean, look, if it's a million dollar picture
by Shelley Frans, $100 people at $10,000 can own a piece.
Or maybe we make it 1,000 people at $1,000.
Or maybe we make it 10,000 tokens at $100.
So, you know, everybody is gonna have the opportunity
and all the crazy things we're gonna do with it,
but we gotta do it right.
So I can't just come out with this right away
because they are securities.
So that's why I'm working with this company in Switzerland
to do it right, to do it legal.
Our NFT platform and our custom wallet
will come out way earlier than this.
This is version two or even three of our site,
but, you know, our platform, excuse me,
but I gotta lay the groundwork.
I mean, you know, it takes time for this stuff.
It could be six, seven months before we're ready.
What was your other question, Tony?
I think that you answered the first one
and I think that he did kind of like a tag team on it combined.
Yeah, got you, brother, got you.
Yeah, the white widow, you know,
weed's legal here in Jersey now.
And I just wanna bring this up to you, man.
It's like 36%, 37% right at the gas station.
I got little old ladies in the park.
Hang on, hang on, who's testing?
This is government tested and verified.
This is not bodega style slap on a sticker.
Hey, we got 40%, you know, gas, gasoline,
like our general says, you know,
this is tested from the government.
So basically the way that it works here in Canada
is you can obtain a growers license
and then you can grow for the government.
then after you can obtain a distribution license.
And then after the government has all these,
I mean, all these manufacturers or growers,
and then as a service provider or as a distributor,
you get like the list and you can pick from Sun Farms.
You could pick from Black 40
and you can pick from all the different brands
and strands or strains that we have here.
But it's pretty cool, but it's not that profitable.
The government is the big player in it.
And they're making rewards by all the taxing
and all the regulation and legislation
And in the last, I think only three years,
I think from 2019 till now,
Canadians bought over $12 billion worth of cannabis.
So we like to smoke our weed up here in the North, baby.
That's all I got to say, $12 billion.
You could feed a lot of people,
but we smoked it down, baby.
Yeah, they're not letting us grow it here in Jersey yet.
They're making too much money on taxes,
selling it out of all the dispensaries.
I got to tell you, all the years we had to sneak around.
Tax is where they make their money.
That's how the big boys play.
OpenSea doesn't care if your project rugs tomorrow.
If you sell some frigging volume and you're pumping,
they'll just keep on putting you up there on the front page.
They'll just keep on blasting your fucking project.
It sucks for consumers, but for OpenSea,
they're like, gimme, gimme, gimme.
They're like, got their hand
in the double dipping of the cookie jar.
I need to prevent something like that from happening.
If a project has so much-
Gudel, just a quick question, bro.
I just realized Zali's right here
and the fucking, as a speaker, man,
I just want to give a quick shout out to Zali, man.
That guy's a goddamn legend, bro.
He's been putting in a lot of work.
He started his own project.
He's been fucking grinding, has not said a word,
has never told anybody to ask them for anything, bro.
He's just been grinding, bro.
And I just want to give that, give love to that guy, bro,
because it's something that people don't understand.
Like 90% of the time when you have a project
and you're out there, you've got to be grinding 24 seven.
You got to be putting in the work 24 seven.
And one thing I noticed is Zali's doing,
one thing I've been seeing is very consistent
Man, I just, I just want to throw that out there.
Zali, what's cooking, my guy?
What's going on, Big Papa?
Pleasure to have you up here in this space.
If you want to maybe share something
or pin something up to the top
or join the conversation,
pleasure to have you, my friend.
Yo, hi, what's good, bro?
Thanks for the shout out, doodle.
Thanks for the stage time, of course, as always.
Yeah, you know, just grinding, man.
That's what you have to do.
And when you have a vision,
you see it through and, you know, keep going at it.
And, you know, the activity that you get
through hearts or whatever on the page
isn't nothing compared to the heart in your chest.
And, you know, you might get discouraged,
but just keep going, man.
You know, I tell all creators that
if you're not in love with what you're doing,
because you definitely have to love it to do it.
So, hi, dude, you've been there all the time.
You always listened in on justification.
Big shouts out, of course, much love.
You guys are great, thank you.
I just came in to listen, doodle.
I didn't expect you to bring me up.
I was actually playing Minecraft with my son.
Well, that's fucking all right.
We hang out, you catch me in the fucking shower together.
You're like, yo, what are you doing, doodle?
Oh my God, I gotta get freshened up.
Me and the queen got a date later on.
I can't smell like a grizzly bear
on a fine date, collecting fine art with my boy Carter
and people from Swiss bank accounts.
Well, listen, what's your take?
Do you think that NFTs have some work
that they need to do before maybe mass adoption
or just improve their functionality?
We talk about the art aspect of it
and like high TV said, this is important.
But at the same time, it's not the be all end all.
You could have shitty art and still have a great project
because your utility is banging, your community is banging.
You're doing a lot with your DAP and your technology.
And sometimes if we see that it's just a lot arts focus
and centric and that's okay,
but we wanna see a little bit more from it.
What do you think is gonna happen in 2024
based off of the current market conditions that we're in?
No, you big problem, I'm talking to you.
You know, I've been here since the end of 21.
Right away, I've seen trading cards, of course,
I think it's use case, like every blockchain as well.
has its own governing principles
that it's gonna revolutionize it in its own area.
And I think NFTs are the same thing.
I think it's as much as the creators put into it.
You could go in every direction
when you start off with the storytelling,
the book is usually the baseline,
like to write the lore, to write the story,
I've always been a character creator,
so I approached it way different
than a lot of other people did
when I started at the baseline.
So I think you'll see more of that as we go here
because like you said earlier,
even Gary V, what he's doing,
he turned his doodles into each individual character.
I mean, how many has he got now?
I mean, he has hundreds of characters
that he's pushing all over the place.
And I think, for character design people,
we turn in a hundred characters to accompany.
Honestly, I wanna be honest.
I hope he's not listening to this one,
but those characters look like they were drawn
by a six years old, by a six years old.
Gary V's artwork looks like, you know.
But it's concept art though.
That's the craziest part.
Just imagine if you could get your hands on,
how much is Walt Disney's first Mickey Mouse drawings worth?
Like on paper, like that kind of stuff like that,
like that nostalgic type stuff.
And I mean, it's worth a lot.
No one intrigues me of it
is that each and every one of them are original.
the only thing that I wish I did differently here
in web three was maybe do a hundred percent,
each and every one, just no traits similar the same.
Like you see how mutants have flip caps or they have,
you know, the cigarette like high TV and myself,
we have the same cigarette or the same blunt,
but I love what Gary V did.
Each and every one of those avatars or characters,
they're a hundred percent unique.
And I think that it gives it like endless opportunities
whether they're calendars, storybooks, plushies, socks,
events, like you could do so many different.
Well, that was my hopes too
when I had started making unique individual characters.
Just getting to a thousand was crazy enough.
Like I had, you know, it was such a difficult task,
but learning in my creative process,
you know, really helped me achieve a level now
that I think that I'm like, you know,
a little bit further ahead of some people
that are trying this kind of concept.
But my intention was always that, you know,
if I could get them out there, we could get them into
that companies could actually come in or even, you know,
artists that like, ooh, like that character, you know,
and they want to redraw it, they can get it.
And then they can have it, you know, it's theirs.
And then they can make a little cartoon out of it
or a set or a company says, well, you know,
they could look through all a thousand of the ones
that we have on Ethereum and be like, hey, you know,
this one, this one, this one go good together.
You know, let's do something with those characters.
And, you know, they could buy them from the holders
that have them, you know, try to get them
and then create their own IP around them, you know,
which has nothing to do with the project in general,
kind of detaching it from the sense of like the traditional,
you know, IP is this is board apes.
This is, you know, moonbirds.
This is this, you know, and you have one and it is that
like these characters can stand alone
and be whatever they want.
You can name them whatever you want, you know,
you could rebrand, you can make a title
and a story around them that's totally unique
So basically I approached it in the sense of,
like I was saying before, like a character sheet itself,
because you would turn in a character sheet to a company,
they'd pay you a certain amount of money
to do the character sheet.
And then they would pick three or four out
for you to flesh out even further
to, you know, define that character for them.
They like, oh, you know, they like five or six of them.
And then they pay you for on those
and then they get the IP rights to them.
So as the artist, you know, the artist lets go of his,
you know, cuts the umbilical cord off of characters
that they create, because the creative process for,
you know, especially character creators is, you know,
you could create thousands of characters.
I mean, you know, if all of them are gonna come
to fruition or to be something that elevates
to a higher level is a whole different story in its own.
I mean, look, Spider-Man almost got scrubbed
off of Stanley's desk because the manager didn't think
that the superheroes should have any kind
of internal problems at all.
You know, there should be no drama with the character.
Like who has a character that's a young kid
who's going through a dilemma of fighting, you know,
these things in his head and all these moral principles
And, you know, it was unheard of back then
because superheroes were, you know, they were strong
and they didn't have any character flaws at all.
And we see that most generally now that, you know,
he created a whole different substance that of course
led to drama inside of, you know, the storytelling
And we all know we love drama, you know,
that's one of the guiding factors of any story.
You have to have a good guy and a bad guy.
And, you know, you see how things are set up
in movie scripts now, like you see a bit of the end
or the beginning starts with action.
You know, this is what people want.
So, you know, it's not recreating the wheel.
It's kind of, you know, just manipulating
what you've seen that works already
or what you like yourself and then manipulating that
into, you know, a form that it's palatable
and consumable by a consumer itself.
And, you know, characters, the way that I'm doing it now
is that's exactly what I'm doing.
I'm trying to reach out into every branch
of, you know, commerce that I can.
These things could be action figures, toys.
We're doing all kinds of stuff.
I've already made sticker sheets
and we have like a whole bunch of stuff
that I'm doing, like 3D modeled characters already.
If you own 10 of them, you could have the Unreal Engine
file or the OBJ file to the 3D rendering
of one character of your choice.
I'm trying to do it like, you know,
totally different than everybody else is doing it.
I mean, to own an original character,
I think they're at like 30 bucks right now.
So yeah, I mean, just do it, you know,
do it so that it's satisfying also to the value
of the people who's buying it.
Like I put them on a white sheet
so that you could take them off easily.
Other artists could buy them
and develop the characters further.
You know, they're in a format where it's palatable
and they can be improved upon
because I still call them concept characters myself,
the way, the form that they're in.
So, you know, it's just thinking about an NFT
and a totally different objective as to, you know,
the regular 10,000 PFP collections
that we're used to seeing, you know,
and I doodle, I know you guys,
you have, you know, a big set as well,
but, you know, just to try to, you know,
finagle the format of what's really going on
and people could really make a digital identity
out of, you know, these individual characters themselves.
Now, creating individual characters is not easy at all.
It's not, it's very time-consuming.
It's like you said, with, you know,
animations and stuff page by page, you know,
frame by frame, it takes a long time,
but you got to remember too,
the industry's also developing in AI
and it's becoming much quicker
to bring these ideas to fruition
because, you know, we have tools now, you know,
directors are gonna have unbelievable VR tools
where they can set up screens and backdrops very easily.
They can rig characters up, 3D model them.
I mean, you could already 3D model AI in an instant,
you know, through some of these new ones.
I mean, you got Pico Labs and Runway
doing crazy, amazing things with video
where you can actually, you know,
change the clothing in real time.
You could change the glasses, anything,
it doesn't matter what it is in a live running video.
So you got to think, man, you know,
this is really a big step up for anybody
who has any kind of director or choreography skills.
The videos that you're gonna see come out will be amazing.
There's gonna be wild, wild videos
that you're gonna see here.
No, fuck it, I'm gonna post it up
because this is gonna make your fucking day.
This is gonna make you laugh so fucking hard,
that you're gonna get milk shooting out of your nose
Like you're just gonna go to the,
it's a pretty fucking hilarious video
that I used AI and a picture of myself.
And basically it's a talking AI
and it has this crazy ass voice
and I put a script over it as well too.
Let's see, laugh out loud.
Is this me or is this AI?
Wrong answers only, wrong answers only.
Please wrong answers only, wrong answers only.
All right, well, I'm posting it right now.
You guys are gonna absolutely cry.
And this is exactly what he's talking about.
The video has been brought to life
and I could put like, I don't know,
I could put myself in the car,
I could put myself wherever the fuck I wanna be.
I could put myself in front of a desk,
I could put myself, you know,
you'll see it in about five more seconds.
But I think that with AI,
you're gonna see like the advancement of so many things
and a lot of things we're already using our AI,
like the lights that change the streets,
things that we already depend on.
There's like AIs built in our phone,
So anyways, I'm gonna pin this up to the top right now.
Let me know what you think, Carter.
Let me know what you think.
I'm gonna put up the volume and this is even better.
Carter, do you see that shit, bro?
I can record my own voice and you have to do like-
You're fucking not telling me I love you, bro.
Five takes of your own voice
and then it would be me reading the fucking thing
and you would be like, wait a minute.
He's like half AI, half amazing.
I did this one like four or five months ago
with Bark Meta, where it's really good, bro.
Dude, I'm telling you what, man.
The craziest part about this is,
actually programs that's coming out too for artists.
People have the iPad in that, the Create Pro.
Well, the AI is gonna mix with that
where you could actually change your drawing
Like you could flip through procedurally generated,
you make an eyebrow and you're like,
oh, okay, well, I don't wanna redraw this eyebrow.
So let me click a couple of times
and see what kind of eyebrows the AI come up with.
And then you could tweak it.
Download this app right now.
It's on both iOS and the Google Play Store.
Maybe you already have it.
And there's an AI feature
and you can use it a few times like for free
and then it'll ask you to kind of like
But you highlight a specific area
and then literally you click replace
and then after you can tell it exactly what you want.
So exactly what you're saying already exists
and it's there, it's out there.
That's all I wanted to add.
Well, I mean, you're talking like I'm a fucking superhero
and I'm just like barely moving
and you see me blinking and shit.
Is that what you're talking is crazy?
Or is this shit crazy through the roof, baby?
It's just so, it just looks so real.
It's crazy, it's so realistic.
Sorry, man, I'm like five steps behind here.
We can change this to my actual voice
if I provided five sample sentences just to fucking,
yo, Zael said he did it for one of the homies.
He did it for Bark, he did it for one of the fans.
And believe me, a lot of things are gonna go synthetic
and dude, there's robots that pack boxes
and warehouses that can climb up shelves and racks
and take down boxes that are up to 150 pounds.
If you guys were ever in the back,
is it okay if I talk to you about Bark actually?
With what they've got on the whole box.
Hold up, hold up, six people.
There's six people talking to me at work.
Feel like I'm on the fucking subway station, man.
Hold up, hold up, wait a minute.
This is a rebuttal in a huddle
with Daddy Jennings, Doodle Jennings.
And well, I need to lick this spliff right now
and just seal the deal, one second.
I'm doing the exact same thing.
You have me muted, but for some reason I'm still going.
You can't be muted, you're a co-host.
Holy shit, I don't know how this thing works, bro.
I don't even, I just don't know how to do it.
Everyone else is muted except me, you,
and Daddy Jennings over there.
This guy's just grilling me, but I'll let it be, all right?
But yes, tell me real quick,
and then we'll go to Carter, then we'll go see,
and then we'll get back to the community.
So I really wanted to bring up Bark
and his new project called the Doge No Docks, right?
Now this is a project that's on Doge,
and it's an inscription on Doge.
So this is something that I got into
just learning about not that long ago,
and since Ollie brought up Bark, instantly I thought of that,
and that's why I posted that up top,
and I thought about it earlier,
but I just wanted to bring it up to you,
and I feel like this is a good opportunity
for people to get involved in something
that could be revolutionary in Dogecoin,
and in inscriptions in general.
So just throwing that out there,
something just to read about, look into.
It's definitely something that I'm invested in,
and I would recommend other people,
but then again, I don't make a financial investment
or devices, so I don't know.
Just gonna roll my blunt and get back to it.
Shout out to Bark, shout out to the entire community.
I like that he just cultivated an organic community
with some of the Spanish community as well, too.
It's really, really dope stuff, too,
and I think that he saw an opportunity.
There's not a lot of action,
and there's not a lot of major players
that are advocating for Doge NFTs,
and I think that there's a good team
that are trying to move the project along, so.
But what was I gonna say?
I invested into Orno Punks.
They were called Doge Punks.
I bought them, I guess, with Keith on the Pico.
They were like 500 bucks each.
I don't even know what they're worth right now.
Probably nowhere near that.
Yeah, Keith just picked up a Doge, too,
a Doge NFT dog, a Doge NFT dog, so.
Well, you probably blow your top.
I just posted it to the top.
Talk about spitting milk out of your nose.
Did you pin up over me, god damn it?
Sarah, did you got, no, I'm just kidding, bro.
I don't give a flying fuck.
Bro, you gotta listen to that one, though.
That was like during the whole fucking camping trip
Good times, man, good times, a lot of good things.
That sounds a little bit robotic.
This one actually sounds like a fucking action.
This one sounds like I could fucking go
and kick Spider-Man's ass, you know?
Hang on, hang on, why don't people need to hear it?
Where's the goddamn phones?
Where's the phones in these places?
All right, hang on, I'll play it for you guys
Where's the phones in these places?
All right, hang on, I'll play it for you guys one time.
And then that's the only time.
It's the point of having six phones
if you can't even play a sound bite.
God damn it, go up to that top end, sweet.
Hit the play button, you'll laugh your ass off.
That's pretty funny as well, too.
I like how his face is cropped in there,
oh, Zail, man, you're the fucking man,
you look like you're the me.
It looks like you shrunk that friggin' exact thing
and you have it as your PFP right now.
What's going on here, Zail?
Well, it's from my original projects
called Cryptic Whispires.
I actually have a short story out on them
Dude, this whole project that I've made,
My first project, this is pinned to it.
So in this place that I call the Spire,
you can open a door and there's numerous amount
of things that you could do, could be behind it.
Could be an advertisement for a company,
it could be, I'm trying to own the center of the
Metaverse, which is kinda brassy,
but that was my biggest dream.
What's at the center of the Metaverse?
What happens when we get there?
So it's kind of the concept.
Almost the Ready Player one tagging
all great stories in together.
I like magic, so that's always been my big thing.
I started out in MMOs a long time ago.
I was in MMOs since my early 20s.
Worm Online, RuneScape, EVE.
World of Warcraft, of course, was very short,
developers were just building them.
I could never get into them.
For me, I had friends that were just junkies.
They were fucking, they had empires and shit.
They were glued to the shit.
Their computer cost more than their cars.
But I could just never get into it.
For me, I'm like GTA gaming.
I like kind of a little bit of violence,
like football and maybe hockey, NBA.
I can't, it's hard for me to get into the Call of Duty.
I get fucking quick snipe or scope sniped.
I don't even know what the kids call it these days.
Every five seconds, I'm like, respawn, respawn.
I'm like, well, it's not fun
when you respawn every five seconds.
There should be like 10 shots
before you get a headshot and just die.
I'm just getting headshot every time from a sniper.
but this one is a little bit more strategy.
but I like the lure behind those things.
It's like people just love the story lure.
they get like lost into like the narrative of the game
and kind of like collaborating and fighting and building.
And it's a mission, dude.
I loved being at the developer base.
Like that was my big thing.
Like when a new indie game started where you could go in
and it was the beta and like they were just making stuff
and it was cool because your suggestions
And like, if you were testing the game and stuff
and you did good and the game got bigger and bigger,
you could actually earn rewards and stuff
like by holding the items that might be rare later on
or collecting the coins in the beginning of the game.
That's why this space reminds me so much
as modeled after MMOs is because people,
if you would have just accumulated these coins
in the beginning for dirt cheap,
look how much they're worth now.
And it's kind of the same principle as it was back then too,
is the gold and runescape or the silver coins and worm
and Eve, the resources that you could gather.
And it was that, it was really that huddle mentality.
And like, this is going back 20 years ago.
So it was really the development part
that got me into the MMO scene
because I understand what the rarity is of things.
they came out with a party hat and runescape
was something you got out of a Christmas cracker,
And now they're worth like 30 grand for a pixelated hat.
They're worth billions of gold and runescape.
And it's like, you think about it,
then it's like, damn, like the baseball cards
or basketball cards that you ripped up as a kid,
you traded your Pokemon cards
and you had them in your pocket and ruffled them all up
and they weren't worth nothing.
And then as they burned and people threw them away
and the kids just disregarded them,
they became more and more valuable
because there was less and less of them.
So it's basically the same model with an NFT as well.
Low supply, rare, unique is definitely a thing to look for.
And it was the same way at the development stage,
when you hit the field, it was like,
yeah, man, it was like, what could we do here?
We were collecting these things,
and the development process of a true MMO game
in an indie fashion is just, it was so fun to me.
And I became a tester later on.
In your opinion, did Azuki fail?
I mean, dude, the IP is there, like the characters are there.
But the development process and the lengthy period
that we're just constantly waiting is just,
it's just killing everybody.
It's killing the interests.
It's killing people that were expecting
for things to happen a lot sooner.
And then like, all these other projects,
beans, everything in between comes out.
And then you're like, where's the fucking anime?
Where's the fucking cartoon?
Well, that you said it earlier,
you know what it takes to make animation and stuff.
And that's coming together too.
Yeah, well, and they took in a lot of money.
And I wouldn't doubt that they're gonna,
hopefully they hold up to the holders.
I think that that's always the biggest concern.
If you're gonna take in all this money
and to redistribute to the holders,
and especially ones that got in very early,
because I see that a lot also,
is that people will mint at two, $300 a pop.
And then all they're looking for
is the next group of people to come in and buy it.
At the floor price has already dropped
and creators trading their own floor,
which is a huge problem that I think
that they don't really take care of the people
who minted first that was close to the project
or is trying to build something with them.
And a lot of also projects,
shun creators inside their own project
because they don't want any light stolen from them
So, that's when you start to get into the social Babylon
of these projects or building in public period.
Because it's a really tough thing building in public,
or trying to get socially involved with people.
I don't really wanna know what you ate for breakfast.
I love holding space and stuff like that,
but to get socially involved like that is just,
I think that it's not a good thing,
especially in this space.
Not to mention you could get people just to come out
and just totally throw you a curve ball
and say shit about you that's ludicrous
and that's just not the truth.
So, if you're creating anything
or you're the head of the project,
try to stay away from the really deep social light of it.
I know they say there's no friends in web three,
real friends in web three.
There's a lot of friends here.
There's a lot of people who speak good words
to other people that that's who you should stick to
that's inspiring you to keep going
with what you're doing and the dream.
Wait a minute, there are real friends here in web three.
You know, I was just hanging out with them
over the fucking weekend, NFT kid
for like two and a half months in New York.
I don't wanna disclose, but rent free.
Like, she didn't wanna charge doodle genics.
She didn't wanna charge myself, Tony,
That's real family, that's real friendship.
Other people would take advantage of that.
Your landlord, he ain't your friend.
He's gonna ask you to continue paying the rent or whatever.
But I think that you have to get in those right circles
and those right communities, dude.
And then when you find the ones that are not,
it's like, yo, these are just bad-ass genuine motherfuckers
that are lifers here in NFTs
that maybe have their own bags.
They have their own small projects that are smaller
that they're trying to get bigger or they're working on it.
But there's a lot of real ones
and there's a lot of like focus on drama
and the wrong things here in web three.
And we can call out people all day
because I know how to read the blockchain.
I know which people are doing shady or malicious things
to extract liquidity from people's wallets
And it's just, it's not my brand.
It's like, I would be here 24 seven,
like the news reporter just reporting
on all the slander and all the shady shit.
Like it's just not on brand for myself.
I'm more of like an uplifting, positive guy.
And I like to find those founders and artists
and collectors that believe in like supporting people.
And like, yes, do they wanna make money?
Everybody wants to see some financial gain here
Let's be honest, let's be 100% real.
If you didn't, you'd be giving away your art for free
And I just don't see that happening
with all these founders and all these artists.
So I think that just doing it in a genuine,
in a humble and a transparent and organic way
is super important as well, right?
You don't wanna be going to Mickey D's every day
and eating GMOs versus like, you know,
having some, you know, whole fed cow beef
that maybe you buy or maybe even just going vegan,
You don't even need to eat meat.
You know, like there's different alternatives.
And I think you just gotta find the community, dude.
Have you been to any IRL events?
I was gonna go to, yeah, I was gonna go to NFT NYC
when I first started because I was in-
If you were to go to an IRL event in NFT NYC,
tell me three homies that you're calling to come through
Right now, I don't have really have any.
So say, Doodle Jennings, I got you.
And throw Phoenix or the kid in there
cause they got you too, cause they're family, baby.
And come and see us, bro.
Yeah, my second son was just born
this spring past here in 2023.
So I didn't get to do too much traveling.
The thing is you gotta find those community members, right?
I'm bringing up Ryan right now, Ugly Apes.
I've known him for a long time.
One of the first people that I met here in web three
And once he understood the vision,
once he understood what we were trying to build
as a community, you know,
he saw that I was a genuine sincere individual.
I wasn't about that bullshit.
You know, he decided to lock arms
and stick around for like almost three years now.
So Ryan, my guy, Ugly Apes,
what is cooking, Big Papa?
How are you feeling on this Fabuloso Friday?
we would like to go back a little bit of time.
I'm going to say it's like almost three year anniversary.
Like technically on Twitter together.
So like, yeah, that's totally dope.
That's exciting to think about.
I have to go back on the time.
I'm like, wait, I can't because of fricking suspended
Yeah, I've been suspended for what?
The same day Wick got suspended.
We were literally like suspended the same exact time, dude.
And I little, I dope deep, deep, deep.
I annoyed the shit out of the customer service.
Oh yeah, they're not happy with me
and I'm not happy with them since 2019.
I've had my account like, come on, dude.
Like I don't post any kind of rug bullshit.
I don't post anything malicious.
I post truthful shit that comes out from the mouse
of editors and people that are legally allowed to post things.
So it's like, how can I get in trouble for posting
and retweeting a headline?
Like a headline is not allowed to do.
Why don't you go and fricking like delete
all those news channels with their fucking headlines.
So I can't like delete that shit
or I can't post that thing and whatever.
But anywho, I'm over here rocking and popping
I think it's a good time to keep on going with this.
Even if my other account gets some, I'm suspended.
That's me, who I am over there.
I've been here for a long time
and I'll keep being here continuously.
This is my project account and I will be rocking
Things have been cooking up over here
and I ain't gonna take no glory on with them here.
But man, dude, it's fucking airdrop season.
You know, I wanted to talk to you about it
because you're the perfect man actually here.
Let's whack daddy, Jennings, get up here.
You got to like a little time to co-host up here.
You're the perfect guy I need here
because we have some questions.
First off, I just wake up one day, couple days ago
and I get this bozo token in my wallet.
I'm like, what the fuck is this?
First off, I saw my wallet just pump up
and I had like a tiny touch of Solana,
like point one just lingering around from some time back.
And I was like, damn, like a hundred bucks
I'm like, yo, this is, yo, we are popping baby.
This was like fucking nothing, a crumbs, breadcrumbs.
And then after I just popped up to like $50,
I was like, whoa, point one.
I'm lurking through my wallet.
I'm checking through some tokens.
Hopefully you guys can still hear me.
It says I lost connection.
Can you guys still hear me?
Where I'm checking through the wallet and I see bozo.
I'm like, what the fuck is this bozo token here?
And it's actually liquid, which is pretty cool.
And they have like a little project
and I messaged them right to do a space and they're down.
So next week, hopefully we can get them going in a space.
They're a pretty big community.
They got like 60,000 people here on Twitter.
They got like a couple thousand holders as well too.
So I'm excited to see what they're about
and pretty much know that they're a Solana project.
but don't know very much about it as well too.
I definitely want a deep dive.
Got four lighters and none of them work.
What do you know about the brozos, bozos?
I don't want to call them bozos,
but that's the fucking name, bozos.
You know, it sounds bad, but like, that's their name.
They chose it, not me, all right?
Hands in the air from Canada I plead the fifth.
You know, I'm speaking their name, their official name,
the bozos, but what do you know about them?
And do you think that they're a project that's,
you know, could have some longevity on the Solana chain?
And then also I want to talk about some Solana airdrops.
And that was like a prime example.
Probably did something to farm it that I didn't even know,
but got 50 bucks out of it.
Yeah, no, bozos is a good collection.
They got some OGs in the space running it.
They got a great community.
They've got some nice utility,
as in they got a nice little lending,
not a lending, excuse me, swapping protocol and so forth,
but they are definitely out there building some tools,
utilizing some of the assets
and tools that have been made on Solana that are out there.
So they're builders, you know,
and it's exciting to see them get some movement
off of their coin that they dropped.
They did a nice happy kind of a airdrop
to the communities out there.
It was kind of neat to watch them have a kind of a battle
between mean coins and mean coins
and like, who's gonna airdrop the bigger one
But it was interesting to watch that
and kind of just to see their support, you know,
the builders that they are, you know.
So definitely, I would have to say
it's a good entry place, you know.
You know, maybe a little retest back a little bit
to, I think it's just a little over one Sol
down to one point, maybe two or something, you know,
and little good entry points.
And I feel like they get a great consolidation period
that happened for about three weeks in their four price.
So they got some nice diamond hand holders in there
and they also, the people that are in there,
they're holding on to what they have
and utilizing what's gonna be coming forth.
I know they're gonna be releasing more as they come,
you know, time goes by here
and then things are finally built.
So they're more of the builders before they speak,
you know, and then once they have it built
then they'll start sharing it with the world.
But yeah, it's definitely that time of the year
And literally just some of the simplest steps
will qualify you for some of those airdrops.
Like the one today with a win token was a little,
all you had to do was swap $5,
a minimum of five bucks on Jupiter exchange
So if you would have swapped just five bucks
the same five bucks on the new wallets,
you would have got there dropped on all those wallets,
which when it came out it was 50 bucks.
And yeah, you're doing good.
That's farming right there.
Yeah, you told me about Jupiter, right?
Yeah, the Jupiter win token.
Yeah, it was released today.
They did a stress test on their bots
and I don't know if you've seen their post that they made.
They gave themselves a four score out of their 10
on retesting the bots that they're trying to kind of make
to where it doesn't destroy the floor.
I did sit on their two hour live stream yesterday,
which was really dope to get some of the insights
from the founders of the project
and how they're trying to kind of deliver
and unfold this launch of the century, dude.
This is in my eyes, one of the biggest launch of a token
other than Uniswap and PancakeSwap and stuff like that.
If you can go back in time and look at the charts
on when those tokens launched
and how the markets react and where we were at
So what, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, yes.
Go ahead, Tony, go ahead.
My phone is always rugged.
Buy a new phone and Twitter rugs me.
I delete the app and lose all of my pre-planned tweets
Yes, I sometimes pre-plan the tweets.
So I don't have to think of every single time
Man, I just lose that out.
If you're not pre-planning,
doodle, if you're not pre-planning,
You got to pre-plan and get all your tweets ahead of time
and then just pop them out.
Well, you know, three a day, four a day.
50, and these ones were flago baby.
They were even sequenced too.
I'm like, yo, I was seeing into the future.
But it happens, it happens.
That's why I got like four or five phones.
So I got bullets in the chamber, baby.
But no, you're absolutely right.
Also an alpha too, is a tweet deck.
Those dead graveyard hours, you never know.
Could be a little tweet deck action happening.
If you know, you goddamn know.
But right, I want to speak about the air.
Yeah, I was going to ask you, I've never heard of that.
Tweet deck is Twitter's official automation system
for you to schedule posts.
And pretty much it's semi automatic.
You load it up into the software
and then after it'll automatically tweet pictures, videos,
whatever you want on specific times.
And it's for people that like,
they want to keep active.
Like the people that like maybe in the graveyard hours,
like throughout the night,
because like you're on different time zones,
This thing could actually go and post shit for you.
I've used it, I wouldn't say few times.
I've used it like probably in the,
in the graveyard shifts a couple of times,
I post most of my shit live or I have some drafts
and I'll sit there and I'll create like 50 drafts
And, you know, I'll keep most of them.
Some of them I'll delete and then I'll just fire off
some live shit and some shit I've seen
or some shit I'm doing as it's happening
or some of the drafts that I have created
But having like a social media plan
and having like an idea of what you're going to post,
maybe one post about your utility,
one post like a link to your discord,
maybe a show post if you're going to buy some art,
you know, if you're looking for meme coins,
and you're looking to spend like a couple extra $100,
like show me your meme coins or, you know,
like a mix of engagement,
but also something that you're going to follow through on.
And what I post doesn't necessarily work for everybody.
What maybe Bark or Books or somebody else posts
doesn't necessarily work for everybody.
what we posted like maybe a year and a half ago,
You used to get like a thousand people liking that.
You used to get like a thousand likes.
You used to go up like a hundred followers
every time you did that shit.
Even if you didn't have an ape,
you could right-click save an ape
and that shit would have still worked.
But now it just, it doesn't have as much pull.
Like just the real motherfuckers
that are still holding the Yuga assets
and the Yuga Labs board apes or mutin apes,
Like they've seen each other.
They've been around the block.
So it's pretty interesting.
I think it's because there wasn't
as much variety back then either though.
I mean, they were there prevalent.
so many flooded in so saturated and broke up the attention.
I mean, it's not surprising.
I mean, that's what happens.
Like in the gaming industry too, it's the same thing.
Whoever's going to capture the biggest audience.
And I think these games, the open world games
are the ones that are gonna win eventually.
Like the old genres of linear gameplay is kind of dying out.
they just brought out something that's old style still
We'll always have that nostalgic feel though,
especially for the apes and the crypto punks.
I mean, those are two right there
that I don't think they'll ever fade.
No, you're good, big pop.
Carter, I'm cooking in the kitchen here.
I didn't mean to be making all that noise.
What do you got cooking to look at?
we're going full on Italian tonight.
I'm making spaghetti and meatballs.
Making the meatballs as we speak.
Just got done sauteing the garlic and the onions
to go into the meatball mix.
Got a little fresh rosemary that I'm gonna throw in.
Where's the parsley, hold on.
The parsley comes at the end.
Parsley comes at the end.
It's gonna be nicey nice.
Make about a dozen meatballs.
I got sausages, homemade sausages I made last week
that were in the freezer.
And we're gonna get the KitchenAid going here
and get this pasta happening.
That's what we're gonna do.
I'm actually gonna do gava deals,
I'm gonna feel like spaghetti.
Let's go gava deals with some gava goals.
Gotta have the gava rules.
You gotta have the gava rules.
You get your ass down to Jersey any time you want, Tony.
And I live at the Jersey Shore.
There's a lot of good things happening here.
Yo, another Jersey native is my man, King of Hearts.
A king is in the building.
King, yo, we gotta hit the Jersey Shore, bro.
Pauly D always responds when I fucking tweet his ass,
because he has low to no engagement, motherfucker.
King of Hearts, what is cooking, baby?
Well, now that you just told me that Pauly D's a reply guy,
I'm gonna go and give him a follow.
But other than that, man, I'm chilling.
You know, I'm hanging out.
I just got into the studio.
I ate, you know, I had a nice, nice day today.
So I'm ready, ready for the night.
But yeah, I just moved to Jersey recently.
I'm a new New Jersey guy.
He's a new, new Jersey guy.
King, what county are you in, King?
Yeah, my brother lives in Woodbridge Center, actually.
I'm in, I'm in Toms, Ocean County.
Toms River, yeah, it's nice out there.
But yeah, thanks for having me up.
Hope everybody's doing well tonight, chilling.
Oh, shit, we got sticky fingers from the week.
Damn, son, where did y'all find this?
We got sticky, icky fingers, even on a new phone.
I'm still getting jammed up at the line of scrimmage here.
But I'm feeling great, rolling up some kush mints.
We're getting a little low.
Trying to save some for tomorrow's show.
I'm trying to save some for tomorrow's show,
I got like seven grams low,
but that's pretty low for me, you know?
Seven grams will last me like a month.
That's emergency reserve.
Maybe like two and a half weeks.
Yo, we're trying to get some of these airdrops.
Ryan said that the Jupiter one.
So, Ryan, what I was saying is I have 200
of claimable Jupiter tokens.
That's coming up on the 31st, so-
But right now, I just posted up top.
Meow, he's the founder of, one of the founders of Jupiter.
All the official links to everything.
The breakdown of the project is all in that tweet for ya.
That's a lengthy tweet, I saw that thing.
But within it, you can see the proper link
where you can go and claim your Meow token.
If anybody has interacted with the Solano blockchain
or swapped tokens, go check your wallets,
because there's literally free-
Right now, it's about 70 bucks now.
I think it's 70 bucks that everybody-
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Let's go down the tweet, and it's L,
let's fucking go, LFG dot JUPE dot AG.
That's the wallet checker they have right here, too,
That Bozo token for 500 million looks pretty nice.
Looking like a half a billionaire right now.
Yeah, that wind their drop is at 69 dollars and 80 cents.
Go up, oh, let's see, is it there?
Because when I clicked on it, it took me-
It says Meow Community Dow,
this is a lengthy, lengthy, lengthy one.
There's Jupiter, it says for reference motivation.
Creative design, there's like 15 links here.
Okay, that's not the link, sorry.
Well, the link is there, but it's not,
it's LFG dot JUPE dot AG is what the link is.
That sounds fucking sketchy as balls.
It's not here, I can't see it.
But if you have a link that's more clear, pin it up.
Well, it's there, but it's got the design one.
So like, if you go to that,
it will show you kind of the breakdown of everything.
And that's just kind of the breakdown to the website.
So it's, this is part linked to the website.
It's just the, whatever you call it to it.
So just delete the design part.
Let me go to the main Twitter pages,
see if he has a tweet with the proper link.
I mean, I could post the link, the proper link,
but I feel it's more important to post from the official
that way there's no questions.
Oh, I went to the website and I'm sitting here.
It's saying, am I a, yes, am I a brave cat?
And it's kind of freaking me out.
Just click your brave cat
and then you're going to connect your wallet.
And anytime you've been, let me emphasize this.
Anytime you go to connect your wallets,
every wallet, any wallet, when you look at that
and before you click the prove to connect to it, read it.
It will tell you what they're going to do.
If it says, you will approve to approve transactions
or if it's a malicious ones, they'll tell you.
You're approving to allow them to move or swap.
And if there's a more section, you can read more about it.
So always just double check.
I don't want to, people need to emphasize that part is enough.
Read that before you connect your wallet.
You can always go to that site, you can go to it,
but as soon as you connect your wallets,
that's when the bad stuff happens.
Yeah, and just in case you guys don't use,
you guys are illiterate and don't want to read like myself,
I use WalletGuard, they cover all blockchains.
There's also, I think, revoke.cash or something like that.
You should look these up on Twitter.
These are also good sites to help with all wallets
from what I'm, like from what I know.
Yeah, and it is usually pretty straightforward
in what it says, except for open seed.
Those transactions are confusing as hell.
Sorry, I was talking, I can't chew gum
and walk at the same time.
I'll go find that properly.
All right, find the link, get it pinned up to the top.
I like to see that airdrops are coming through.
I like to see that people are making money
and it's nice to get rewarded for some of the actions
and some of the participation that we've had here
within the crypto or the NFT ecosystem.
Very rarely do these things come around,
but if they do, oh, wait,
you definitely want to be a part of them.
And the most of them, like I said,
they're free based off of the interactions
that you previously have done
or maybe you farmed in the past.
So I haven't traded any NFTs recently on Solana,
but based off the past activity,
it looks like I was qualified for some stuff.
Like Ryan said, on the 31st, there'll be a Jupiter claim.
Don't forget, that's just the one of three airdrops
from Jupiter that are coming out.
So, and there's other ways for you if you're not qualified
or if you want bigger allocations
are ways for you to farm this airdrops.
And so don't, if you don't have anything,
don't feel like you're too late.
Like just dive in and get in there and start going into it.
Like I'll give you the simplest way to do it.
And the best way to do it is you go to Jupiter
and you start putting DCAs in
on whatever token that you want,
allocate 10 bucks, 100 bucks, $1,000, whatever you want.
And you can set it to buy for every minute
to buy whatever amount of tokens you want,
or you can set it for every 30 seconds
And then if you really wanna farm it,
literally do that on multiple different wallets.
That way, not just one wallet qualifies,
but multiple different wallets qualify.
you can do it with a token you believe in,
or you can do it with like,
this is the little bit of alpha,
the shit rug tokens that have no volume
because you can literally not lose any money
if you're buying into something
that you think is gonna go somewhere
and then your 100 bucks is now two bucks.
You could take that 100 bucks
and DCA into a crap token that has no volume,
but utilizes the Jupiter exchange
and sit there and DCA every 30 minutes.
If you do it anymore than that,
it's gonna create a volume chart on that coin,
and then that coin will so gradually go up,
but if you do it every 30 minutes for five days
and literally flop it back
and then take that same token
and DCA selling that token back for your 100 bucks.
I mean, you might be a little,
five or 10 bucks here and there, up or down,
but it's better than taking and going into a token
that has a lot of velocity
and just can pop and or go or dump.
So there's a little bit of alpha
for how to farm that airdrop,
and another way is by setting buy orders
You'll see DCA and buy orders,
and then also the perpetuals.
You can go in and do the perpetuals,
throw a 0.1 and a 1.1 leverage on that,
You don't have to worry about it
because the soul's not gonna get down below.
I mean, you could do soul,
eat, or Bitcoin on Solana futures.
Set little amounts and multiple different wallets,
and those will help your qualifications
on the next two coming airdrops
that will be coming out from Jupiter.
They're gonna go bust 100%.
You don't have to go broke.
No, no, they just don't know.
It's too complex for like 90% of them.
It's not complex, though.
Ping and Carter, do you know what you gotta do?
Yeah, I know what I need to do.
I gotta put my dev on it so I don't mess it up.
Dude, dude, basically what ranks in is this,
and like maybe like a couple sentences
is that by using the platform
and providing and delegating liquidity,
whether it be a small amount or a big amount,
for like a period of time.
No, you're not providing liquidity.
No, no, you're setting buy orders.
So you literally go in and you'll take,
and throughout five days,
you wanna take every 30 minutes and buy that token.
Are you approving the transaction?
It does it all for you, automated,
and you just literally just deposit it,
and then the bot will run it for you
right on Jupyter exchange's site.
So you don't have to do anything for five days.
And then when you come back,
you can do it the other way and then do it again,
or you could set it for 30 days,
but you gotta have a bigger amount of deposit,
because you gotta spread it out.
So it's like a 0.0001 purchase.
Essentially, you're providing liquidity
through almost like ETH wrapped offers.
Your buy orders are like the ETH wrapped offers,
And like you said, you have to deposit the cash.
So when you're there using the exchange,
because you're creating volume
and you're creating liquidity,
essentially they're giving you an opportunity
When do you think the airdrop is expected to come out?
We got the first one on the 31st,
and then I'm gonna say it's,
so I'm not gonna really say the dates,
but I know it's just within this year.
So throughout this year, but-
31st is close, I can live with that.
The end of the month is coming real quick.
And let me just emphasize this again,
how big this is, you guys.
The tractor, there's the tractor.
Yeah, but for a lot of people that don't know
this is pretty much gonna be the biggest sold decks
that they're trying to create,
very much like a liquidity pool,
like they did with Uniswap.
And I think that they have a better opportunity
to do more things because of the ecosystem
and how cost-effective Solana truly is.
Chaos brought up a point as well too,
maybe when the blockchain increases in value,
when Solana gets to the same prices as Ethereum,
it won't be so cost-effective just like Ethereum is,
but we still have long ways to go for those days to happen.
And I believe they'll be working on that.
Well, they already reduced the rent fee.
So it's not no longer a 0.01,
it's 0.0002 for rent fee for NFT.
So that has been already updated.
And I don't know if you know,
I went 366 days with no downtime on Solana just yesterday.
So today it would be 367.
Me and Ryan was so fucking bullish on Solana
the road it down to nine, eight bucks, six bucks.
People were like, oh no, the Salami is dead.
We got some bad Salami, this Salami can never get hard
again, but let me tell you my friends,
we just came back, wrote it from $9, $6 right to a hundred.
And it's a goodbye opportunity.
This is not financial advice,
but I think when you see it,
losing 20, 30% and you feel comfortable aping in,
ride it up and then it's your bags.
But I think that it's a good opportunity.
And King wants to get in on these airdrops.
Angela wants to get in on these airdrops.
Puss Ninja wants to get in on these airdrops.
Hopefully all you amazing DJs want to get in
It takes nothing to go to the website,
check if you qualify, but be careful.
Make sure that you're not getting your wallet drained.
Make sure that you're not visiting these sketchy links
that look like they're official,
especially because it's based off your transactions.
And if you set up a burner wallet,
you're not getting your transactions, right?
So you got to make sure that it's the official link
from the official website,
from the official Twitter account
and make sure that they didn't get compromised.
Cause I see a lot of people,
clicking on a lot of stuff,
And I just hope that they don't lose
some of the great NFTs that are on Soul
or even lose their soul bags
that they bought early throughout the bear market
But yeah, I think the airdrops are dope.
I think it just kind of gives people
that are active here in the community,
even more validation to continue going,
to continue using the blockchain,
continue trying and experimenting with new marketplaces,
new exchanges, new communities.
If it doesn't cost me anything extra to receive the airdrop
and I don't have to just spam my audience
with bullshit on my timeline,
like maybe the portal coin,
I want to be active in it.
So it's pretty sick to see it.
Let's say what's up to King
and see what he got going on in the studio.
or he's trying to get his airdrop fixes.
Cause we want a lot of fixes right now.
King, what is cooking my brother?
as far as like the airdrop things,
like I put a little money aside
and I definitely staked some Solana
for a few different things.
I got like the injective thing.
I know I'm sure Ryan knows about that.
Mistake injective with Black Panther
and the other one and Talus, I believe it is.
And then Black God, I mean,
Superman show up out of nowhere
and just do, do, do, do, do, do.
Well, that's part of the utility that they promised.
So of course I had to stick with them.
Can't miss an opportunity to meet the Black Panther.
But I did that and some things on like,
Margify, Margify, and that was really it.
Like I wasn't going to do anything
that involves spamming timelines
and pumping coins and projects
that I didn't really know much about.
But I definitely set a little bit of money aside
that I was willing to take a little chance on.
And I didn't get no drops yet,
but I'm sure they'll come soon.
I'm sure they got something good going.
Were you a Solana collector and trader?
I wasn't trading, I had like two or three Solanas
in my history of web three, right?
But like around the time it was like right under 20 bucks
and Wick was dropping his collection.
I stocked up on a bunch because I wanted to support him
and also I wanted to, you know, put a little money into it.
So I got in at a nice time
and I just picked up a whole bunch around like $19,
And that worked out pretty well for me so far,
you know, it's pretty cool.
So I feel like I got in at the right time there.
That $100 turned into $500, bro, that's amazing.
Yo, I was buying Solana back then and then back in the day,
I think I bought it at like 80 and sold some
like 120 or 130, but, you know,
I was like telling all my friends in like 2021
to buy Solana when it was like super high.
Not many of them listened to me.
So it's all right, you know?
I don't tell any people in real life
to buy crypto anymore at all.
Well, look at that, it's ugly, you know?
Dude, I bought into Dogecoin
when it was like a fraction of a penny.
Probably sometime in like 2019, maybe around there.
And I was telling my dad to buy it
and he just like, he was like,
yeah, shut up, I ain't buying that shit, whatever.
He's like, I'll buy real shit, you know?
And like, I don't know what happened along the way,
but he ended up like I went over his house
where like Dogecoin right before SNL,
like that whole thing in 2021.
And I went and visited him and he's like on Robinhood
and he's like trying to buy Dogecoin at like 74 cents.
And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm like, slow down, pal, slow down.
But I think he had listened to me put like 200 bucks in
Like he wasn't, you know, he wasn't tripping over it,
but that's what happens when you buy high and sell low.
Oh my God, he got rekt, he got rekt.
He didn't put a lot of money into it.
People think that crypto is too volatile.
They can't withstand the 80, the 90%, you know,
down falls that some of the coins have had
throughout the bear market.
You're not gonna be there for the 200, 300, 400, 500%,
gains that like a King of Hearts experience
when he bought like a bunch of salon at $20
and it's at 80 or a hundred.
So that's what's up, dude.
You gotta know when to buy.
You gotta buy when it's at the bottom,
buy when people are selling,
buy when there's fear in the market,
buy when coins are down 20, 30%.
You know, those are discounts
and you know, sell on those green days,
sell on the days that it's up 15%, you know,
don't get attached to them.
Those are the days you want to let go.
You're like, ah, no, it's up 15.
This is, you're at the finish line here.
You know, you just got 15 today
plus whatever you made in the past.
This is the time to take it and not be greedy
but a lot of people haven't had the experience of trading.
A lot of people, you know,
it's their first time of like owning any asset
that appreciates in value, right?
They own cars that they'd appreciate.
Maybe they own some collectibles
like video games or comic books or toys,
but it's such a small market.
There, these digital collectibles for a lot of people
is their first like asset of ownership.
Other than people that are buying houses,
you know, like they don't really own a lot of things.
they don't know how to manage their portfolio
or their position in communities.
That's why we see Jeets that just,
you know, they get something for free.
They see a floor price of $100, $200.
They don't really care about the community.
They'll just sell it and they'll go to another community
and ask for some more free shit
and try to repeat the cycle 20 times
until they get called out.
you don't want to give that guy even a cent.
you don't even want to pay for his free mint,
even if it's a free mint.
you just got to be mindful of like what's going on here
And I think that there's a lot of great projects
that are trying to incentivize people
and gamify it and air drops.
It's ultimate gamification.
It gets people intrigued.
It gets people to participate
and maybe take some part in doing activities on chain,
whether they be buying, selling, providing liquidity,
doing some transactions, baby.
And it can be really, really rewarding.
And like Ryan said, if you have multiple wallets
and you know that they're going to reward every wallet
that interacted by doing this specific action,
it could be really profitable
if you have like 10 or 20 or 50 wallets.
There's tons of DJs out here
just farming this shit to the back.
So I'm excited to see what happens,
Let's say what's up to the Puss Ninja.
What's going on my guy, Nick?
We are smoking weed, collecting NFTs,
Salinas summer and airdrops.
Yeah, I think it'll happen.
You know, go check it out.
I think it's worth checking out, like you said.
It doesn't hurt to go in there and check it out
Just, you know, be sure you got the right links.
I think that's the most important part of it.
when you're navigating around a few things.
But yeah, excited to be here up on the space today.
Have you been collecting any salon NFTs
or are you farming anything?
Do you think that this is something
that you would qualify for?
I haven't been, but early on,
I was big into ETH and I got into some Solano,
but the winner hit and I kind of got rid of some
of that stuff before it dropped too low.
Why, Puss Ninja, did you panic sell?
I mean, that's when I was kind of first getting
into crypto and it was just, you know, I don't know.
I got into like ETH when it was up in like the 38 range.
So it dropped down pretty low
and I moved it around to different things.
Some of it I used to help build what I'm doing now
and then hooked around with it.
I got rid of it probably around like 22
or something before it dropped too low.
But I had a couple ETH in there, but you know,
I picked up one and then I picked up, you know,
it was pretty high up around like 38, like I was saying.
And then when it started to drop,
I picked up another one probably when it dropped
into the two range and then I just, it continued to drop
and I was, I just got out before, you know,
but you know, at least I didn't lose all of it.
So I lost about maybe like almost half,
half the liquidity I had in it.
But you know, that was like some of the first things
I went in on and you learn, you live, you learn.
And it was actually a good learning experience.
It sucks losing out, but it helps you
like position yourself for later.
How much is tuition in your province?
How much is tuition in the States for one year of college
or one year of university?
Not much compared to what you lost, I bet you.
And that's the kind of stuff you'll never learn in college.
So, you know, it put me in a good position to know,
like, you know, there's a lot of volatility in the market,
but if you put yourself in the right position,
you could be on the winning end of it.
So it just, you know, it helped me position myself better.
When I first got in, I was, I got excited about it
and didn't realize that things were kind of
And then, you know, we plumbed it into the winter,
but things are picking back up now.
And, you know, I put some stuff in place
So, you know, I'm hoping to ride it out
and see some good returns,
but I haven't really jumped back into soil yet,
but I'm thinking, you know,
I've been hearing a lot of hype about it.
So I'm thinking I'm just going to check it out.
And like you said, when I see it, I dip, get in
and see if I can ride it up a little bit for sure.
Well, listen, the easiest thing to do is download
the CoinMarketCap app, right?
Set up a fucking free watch list, which is super easy.
So let's go to my watch list.
Where's my watch list, my watch list.
And then after, go for the last 30 days
and then buy the coins that are down the most.
Near, matic, V-chain, immutable, render,
rose, orty, H-bar, AR weave, that's it.
Sell the ones that are pumping right now.
Tia, CPI, let's go back 20 to 30 days.
Let's see, the ones you want to sell, ENS, what else?
Blur, maybe you want to keep blur a little bit more,
but you could sell it 30% in 30 days.
Arbatron, 20% sell it, you know, like in a month.
And then after like, if you can compound
like 6% interest each month,
you'll double whatever your principal investment is.
So if you put in 10,000, you'll have 20,000
at the end of the year, but you'll do it safely.
You won't go over leverage.
You don't have to do crazy stuff, you know?
It's easy to get involved into the right coins.
And I think that like the Solana ecosystem
Like it can do 70,000 transactions per second.
And that's more than MasterCard.
That's more than American Express.
It's a pretty fast blockchain.
Every time that I send Solana or Polygon
from my central exchange to my like decentralized wallet,
whether it be Metamask, I mean,
whether it be a Phantom or Ethereum to Metamask.
Solana is the fastest with Polygon.
Like Ethereum takes a while.
And I think that like the fact that you can do business
across the world for such low processing fees
at this current moment is huge.
And I think that companies and blockchains like XRP
like these are good platforms to send money.
And they could be like good platforms
that you could see some financial growth in.
And also like even to accept these coins,
it's dope that you don't have to spend massive gas fees
to move NFTs around and do airdrops
and set up an ecosystem or have upgradable NFTs
that people can pay like literally pennies.
Like someone was talking about today
in a space, oh, there's this guy,
he's doing this thing for artists
and it's gonna be cheap as pennies.
Well, there's Polygon and there's Solana
and there's Tesos, there's all these blockchains
that already exist that are less than pennies right now.
Like that we have to really deep dive into technology
and see what's valuable and what's really just fluff.
And there are some good coins
and I think that's a lot as dope,
but I think that people should look for coins
that they're bullish on long-term.
Layer ones, layer twos, some dope protocols like H bar,
maybe some narratives like storage and cloud services
like AR weave, AI is a big narrative as well too
So I don't think that the Metaverse coins
like Apecoin and Sandbox and Manna are gonna be the ones
that are gonna be outperforming some of these newer ones
that are catching wind and catching fire.
But this is not financial advice.
We'll have to see, we'll have to see how things pan out.
If you guys have some coins
that you're collecting or stacking
or maybe you're hoping for a Solana summer, come up.
Give us your take, give us your opinion.
Puss Ninja, don't worry about it.
Those lessons, baby, those are life lessons.
Those are worth more than the frigging college tuition
People pay 15, 18, 20 grand for it
and even more expensive and better lessons
that people spend at Harvard.
So fucking dope stuff, dude.
And you're not getting rich
from trading small amounts of crypto,
but you can capitalize in long-term.
You can build long-term financial wealth
and have some passive income
that could turn into a massive portfolio.
So I wouldn't overlook it.
I wouldn't sleep on crypto.
I wouldn't sleep on Solana or the potential airdrops.
I'm excited to have like 200 Jupiter.
That's gonna be coming at the end of the month.
It's only like a couple of days away, the 31st.
And what does that really equate to, Ryan?
Like if you had to predict the coin price,
what do you think it would come in at?
Ooh, right now you can go pre-market buy it.
And it said, I think we last,
It was like at 70 something cents,
anywhere from there to a dollar something,
Yeah, that's a hundred bucks.
The coin has been a launch around,
I would say 60 cents and maybe hold that.
That's huge, that's easy, a hundred.
That's a hundred dollars minimum off of the airdrops.
Well, this is literally, this is an old speculation
because like I said, this is-
A hundred percent speculation.
This could be worth 10 cents.
This is history right now.
But if it's 60 cents, it'll be worth 120.
If it's 10 cents, it'll be worth $20,
which is still something, right?
Pack of smokes if you smoke,
maybe a little Mickey if you wanna get twisted.
Still, I think it's dope, dude.
I think that's the fact that people
are getting incentivized.
Ryan was one of those individuals
that were very fortunate to get
one of the first 20,000 Solana phones.
And now that they instantly sold
double that on the presale,
they're aiming to get a hundred thousand presales
before they drop the second phone, which is exciting.
And the fact that people were rewarded
with all these different tokens,
the fact that you can actually create NFTs
specifically for phone holders and airdrop them,
it's fucking breaking technology
like they're fucking shaking in their boots.
And like, they're not even like
thinking about integrating web three
because they know how powerful it is.
And the decentralized aspect of that
And they've built this kind of moat
And I think that Solana is gonna break that narrative.
I think more decentralized mobile applications
Apple eventually has to kind of change to the times.
And when that eventually happens,
Solana will be at the peak of it.
It'll be like Solana be the market challenger
just like Apple and Microsoft.
And I think that that's gonna happen sooner
than we think probably the next like 10, 15 years
at the latest, but could happen in seven,
could happen in five, but 10 to 15 years
I see them actually competing
and people have to understand
the co-founders of Solana
came from a billion dollar industry
of semiconductor chips with Qualcomm.
Qualcomm is a company that creates microchips
and computers for smartphones
from Samsung's to Nokia's to Apple's to Motorola's
to everything in between.
So the fact that these guys left that industry
to come and do Solana just makes me extremely bullish.
That's why I've always been a maxi.
That's why long-term I'm long in Solana.
And I think people should do the same
regardless of what the markets say, you know
Just don't be over leveraged by what you can afford
and go along on all the coins that you believe in.
But I'm gonna kick it back to Ryan.
Tell us a little bit about the saga phone.
How does the hard word feel?
Do they, are they lackluster?
And are there any financial benefits
for maybe owning the actual phone or the device?
Yeah, then so far I give it a nine out of 10 score
for the quality of the operation of it.
The cell service is outstanding.
I was out and about with my iPhone and the saga phone
and can get better service with my saga phone
which is surprising enough.
So I could hear in the space with one phone
I can't hear in the space.
And I'm in the same space, the same PFP.
So it's like, wait a minute.
You should be able to hear both of them at the same time.
I can do it right now, you know, I can hear my talk.
Just like kids, they always act up
when you're talking them up.
I think it's his voice isolation turned on
on whatever phone he's talking on is what screwed him.
Did it come back through or what?
You're back, you're back.
Dude, I got this little spot that just like takes my Bluetooth
off the connection of my phone.
It's every time it's like this little Wi-Fi Bluetooth dead zone.
That was the guy phone, right?
I don't really have the problem with the saga.
That thing is, you know, smooth operation
and, you know, getting these airdrops.
I was just looking at some of the airdrops.
Yo, Ryze Crypto Rich, he's got iPhone saga phones.
Yo, this guy, he's doing it all here.
Got the outside unit showing up here today is what UPS says.
So that's exciting with the mobile token and all that stuff.
That's revolutionary, man.
Like, it's neat to actually experience and utilize it
and kind of learn about this D-Pen technology as well.
That's what I've been into.
But we especially with the saga phone,
and there's a whole much D-Pen technology on there
that you get to use beta test and.
Five hundred bucks, nobody.
Five thousand bucks, nobody.
Either hand is upper hand.
That's a couple of bands, baby.
You could buy a Honda Civic.
You could buy a beater car.
You could go on two nice vacations on two different yachts
I revoke, revoke, revoke cash.
You could go in pre-order one for only four hundred
I see a scratch on your phone, bro.
I see a little, I don't know,
is this titanium or is this plastic?
I thought this was like the iPhone here.
I try to act like I didn't want it
to do a little reverse psychology.
He's like, Dave, he looked at the phone.
He's like, did I scratch this thing?
I just got this motherfucker.
Dave, what's up, Big Papa?
GM, good afternoon, good evening.
Yeah, I'm just wondering what operating system
Is it on, what is it on some sort of Android system
or is it a new system that they've set up
That's the major question I have.
were you talking Chinese?
There wanna go over all the letters
and stuff that were coming out
because I am so new to all of this.
Literally sounded like to me
that you were speaking a completely different language
that I've never heard before.
Well, Chinese people speak Mandarin or Cantonese.
So I wouldn't be speaking Chinese,
even if you thought I was.
But I do speak a little bit of Mandarin, not Cantonese.
I don't wanna lose the audience,
so I'm not gonna practice.
But if you were looking at the captions,
These things are just broken.
So I'm sorry, I should speak a little bit slower
so the audience can hear us a little bit better.
But sometimes you guys get us fired up.
It's not the fact that no one could understand
It's the fact that to me,
it sounded like complete gibberish
because it's all stuff that I'm so new to.
Holy shit, why did you show up to Web3?
How long have you stayed in Web3?
So far- Wait a minute, this is like AA.
Wait a minute, are we talking about
how we're on the wagon or off the wagon here?
Am I trying to get you into Web3 or out of Web3
because this is a place where there's demons,
my friend, and D-gens, all right?
And not the good double Ds
that you're thinking about, the nasty ones, all right?
D-gens and demons, all right?
So you're gonna have to be careful
with all these landmines.
This is real fucking shit.
This is crypto unfiltered.
This is crypto rawr than you've ever seen it before.
And sometimes it just kicks in the nads, you know?
It just kicks backwards like a horse right in the face.
and you will have some financial pain indefinitely,
But, you know, we're gonna try to keep you safe,
where you got a trunk up here.
We don't wanna get your trunk all fucked up, you know?
You're looking handsome here with your little hat.
You know, I'm rocking with you.
You're following me, you know?
You're under the doodle-genics umbrella now.
So you're with the family, all right?
So don't tell people also you're here for 30 days.
I'm like, yeah, I've been around the block a couple of times
but I'm brand new, you know?
30 days is brutally honest
and it seems like you need a little bit more,
you need a little bit more NFTs,
you need a little bit more crypto.
Let me fill up your wallet right now, God damn it.
Do you have a Tezos wallet?
Are you speaking Chinese or Japanese again?
Yeah, send Bitcoin to my house.
Send me a pizza and Bitcoin, you know?
I eat Bitcoin for breakfast.
I have a friend coin in some wallet.
I have all the DJ and rug coins doodles.
He's like, save me from this rug boat here.
David, where are you from?
Where are you from, Big Papa?
I'm Irish, I'm from Ireland.
Yeah, lucky that you have an Irish person here.
Actually, I'm gonna go see my boy, Kev.
Yeah, Dublin is about a five and a half hour drive
You think I'm Irish the way that I make the crypto
I'll let you have that one
because you're actually Irish.
But no, he actually lost crypto with me on Solana.
He was buying at 250 with me in 220.
So, you know, my poor friend.
And then after I'm like, yo, Kev, do you still got it?
He's like, for what, Tony?
I believe in crypto, but I don't use it.
So what did I need it for?
I'm like, oh my God, he liquidated.
So, you know, things happen.
We're gonna have to go check his portfolio tomorrow.
See what he doesn't have.
See if we can get him back on track.
But he's just excited for the growth
that we've been having here with DoodleGenics
And if you haven't already, we click on my PFP.
We could have token gated it just 100% private
and just kept only the real MFers in.
But we'd like to have it public.
We'd like to let in everybody.
We'd like to let in people that are real.
They have to go through a little authentication process.
All you have to do is be a real person
and confirm your number with Discord.
We don't ever see your number.
I don't want your phone number.
I don't want your DMs either.
But yeah, you get in and then you can go
You can join the conversation.
You can click into the voice chat.
I wanna see each and every one of you guys there.
Within about half an hour,
we're gonna be degenerate out there.
Very similar to like a live Twitter space,
except everybody is goddamn un-miked.
I see David C. Family jumping into the Discord.
Confirm on the entry page and then you get in.
All you have to do is just go to verify to enter.
You click on the little button.
Who else we got here that just joined the Discord as well
These are all people that just joined here earlier today.
Dope to see people in the family.
Let's keep it popping, David.
I appreciate you coming up here
and you'll get all sorts of alpha.
You'll be able to sweep a doodle
on the Ethereum blockchain
from DoodleGenix, our collection,
and get involved in some group chats.
Jump into these 3D environments that we got going on.
I see Chit Chakra streaming live in the Discord now.
So if you get in and you click on the voice chat,
Well, we're happy to connect with you
and we'll happily see you after the show here on X.
So appreciate you coming up and just showing love.
I think that like, you know,
2024, there's a lot of exciting times
that are gonna be coming up.
And I think that like airdrops is something
that's pretty easy for people to get involved into.
I think that you shouldn't be chasing everything
King, have you gotten any airdrops
that really popped for you?
Oh, well, I keep getting airdropped
this like blaze token that really isn't worth much,
but like I got like a couple hundred,
like two or three different times.
So that's pretty cool for staking like blaze on Solana,
I didn't get nothing serious yet.
No, I'm just messing around.
We'll see what happens, you know?
Honestly, the money I put into injective,
So that's pretty cool, you know?
I'm not gonna, no, no, no.
It's hanging out and collected a little more day by day,
But I like that injective coin and that's it.
Do you get in the new Solana phone?
What's your biggest concern?
Oh, I just don't need a phone right now.
What if it gives you money?
What if it gives you money to hold the phone?
All right, so how do you get the phone?
You have to buy the phone first.
Yeah, I would probably buy one of the phones then.
If it's an asset, hell yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it pretty much feels like it is.
I mean, it keeps giving you an airdrops
and you know, little tasks here and there.
A little NFP projects keep airdropping
and you can cash them out or hold onto them.
Which is really cool if you,
that's like any artist in this room,
utilize this tool that has been given to you
as creators to be able to create your art
and then go airdrop a little collection to all the sides.
That was abandoned in the middle of that.
If that was the salon-o-phone, I'm not impressed.
Yeah, no, it's his earphones.
It's my stupid earbud, dude.
Sorry, I was trying to hear cook and listen
and yeah, I ditched the earbud
but like I say, there's a tool that you could use.
What are you yielding right now on the mobile aspect
of using the salon-o-phone?
Because I think a lot of people don't realize that
right now there's ways that you can take advantage
and you can actually yield daily
and is that still going on or did the pool dry?
Well, with the assets that they airdrop,
you can go and like you were saying earlier,
put them in liquidity pools
and then provide the liquidity
and then you'll get your little exchange of,
which is, it depends how much you put in there, right?
And then get your weekly or however often
you want to collect your rewards from it,
It's just as the same as providing liquidity
to any kind of token, right?
So, or if you're staking it or whatever,
but staking it like on your salon-o-thru orca
rewards you more APY than if you do it
through the Phantom Wallet.
Like you only get like for a year for one soul,
you only get like two bucks in APY.
You do that through orca,
you got quite a bit through, you know,
the exchange and fees, swapping fees and everything.
So, which, you know, if you did that with orca last year,
you would have qualified for one of the bonk airdrops,
which came out last year.
So that was how a lot of people also got
the bonk airdrops by providing liquidity.
Oh, shit, I got sticky, sticky fingers.
All right, well, listen, my question was this.
Do you think that there's a lot of projects
that are gonna fill the void?
I feel like when the de-gods move both the yutes
and the de-gods to Polygon and Ethereum,
And I felt like there was kind of like this void.
It was kind of like this uncrowned kind of king project,
whether they called Maladies or the OK Bears
or, you know, the Fox Federation or the SMBs.
You know, there wasn't really like an evident
kind of like, this is the top brand.
This is the top community here on Solana.
And I still really don't see it.
I don't see them in the spaces.
I don't see that the activity is up any more
If anything, it's actually less,
but they're still pushing.
Their floor prices are down significantly,
just like a lot of the coins and a lot of the projects.
Is there anyone that you think is like
the obvious winner right now
that maybe we're just not seeing?
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of solid projects
out there right now that are building
and, you know, they're utilizing a lot of the
on-screen technology, which is really nice
and utilizes all the assets that you have, so.
It's gonna be like famous Fox Federation, I think.
They got a whole bunch of shit going on.
They've been got a lot of stuff going on,
but like, I would say it's like,
you got to promote yourself.
You got to market yourself.
It's good for devs and founders
and people that want to swap
and do things like on the Solana chain,
but I just don't feel like a lot of people know of them
They just see the Fox and they think it's cute
and it kind of reminds them of maybe the cool cats
and some of the stuff that happened on ETH.
And to me, they kind of fall
in that narrative behind them, Zali.
There's like, you know, like automatic trading bots
that you could go and get cyber frogs.
They got Zeus, I think it's called Zeus.
No, Thor, excuse me, Thor.
And really, really interesting automatic trading bot system
that you can utilize by being a holder,
really strong community, you know.
There's another one that has came out
it farms their drops for you
so you don't have to do all the work.
So, but you have to hold a certain amount of assets
for you to be able to put in
and then it does all the farming for you, right?
So you put a thousand bucks
and then boom, it does all the farming,
and you just collect the rewards.
But nobody knows about those projects.
I mean, unless you're like, you know,
heard it from the timeline or knew about it, you know,
so, but they're strong builders.
They are strong builders.
And we've had Drax in AMA style Twitter spaces up here,
speaking about the project of the Fox Federation.
I do like the people behind it.
I think some of the DEXs and like the swaps
that they have are really, really cool.
So, their dApps are pretty quality built.
And I think it's cool to see them still kicking
and still pushing and still being relevant 2024.
But I don't really see too many.
I remember like projects like the Trippin' Apes,
the Yeah Tigers, so many of these projects.
They didn't have anything.
They really didn't, they had hype.
That's all they had was hype.
And Magic, he didn't endorse them.
Magic, he didn't have them on the front page.
Magic, he didn't had them like be in the next project
I see continuous like promotion
from Magic, he didn't on some projects,
very much like a WhatsApp project called the OK Bears.
And they're still building
and they actually are providing utility.
I'm pretty sure it's a cannabis related project as well too.
They have this utility with cannabis.
But I think that like it needs to be like more exposed.
I think there needs to be more exposure to their brand.
And I think there needs to be working a little bit more,
especially because they've had millions
and millions of dollars given to them.
And they've seen millions and millions of dollars
on the secondary worth of volume.
That's just my take in it.
I haven't seen some of the Solana projects
very active here in the Twitter spaces.
I'd like to see them a little bit more active
and playing off of this whole Solana hype
and whole Solana run, especially with the airdrops,
especially with Jupiter, especially with the saga phone,
maybe the coin price being over a hundred dollars,
So it's an exciting time.
Are we gonna see a Solana summer?
Oh my gosh, it's gonna be so hot.
Oh, it's gonna be so hot.
If we see Solana at like $200,
Ryan's gonna just shave his head
and wear Speedo all summer.
He's gonna be going Solana summer mode, crazy mode.
I dropped all my weed three times.
This is like, it went from being a gorilla finger
to like maybe a joint to maybe being like now
just a pinder to be like, fuck it, you know,
might as well just grind up some more weed now.
The scraps of the scraps.
Holy shit, we are down bad.
King of hearts, you're down bad too, dude.
Don't tell me you got that weak connection, baby.
Get your booty back up here to the top.
Later on tonight, I think it's around 9.30.
King of hearts has a music space, open mic.
If you're a musician, if you're an artist,
come up here, play some music, vibe out.
It's gonna be a good time.
And I'll be there with King of hearts as well too.
Jamming, slamming it down, playing some hip hop for fun.
I like to kind of produce some just instrumentals
that were just given back to the community,
just as just some free giveaways
and just some free utility.
I'm down to the last fucking four grams now, King.
I can't drop anymore and you can't rug anymore.
No, he's still in the request.
I just added him six times.
His fucking, his internet is janky.
I'm adding him, but nothing's happening.
Yeah, King, you're gonna have to just jump out of the space
It says you can talk now, but it still says
that you still have a little blue check on your name.
Like you need to be on the request or something.
Holy shit, Twitter has been down so bad.
The API is just hurting right now
and Elon Musk is just pumping Twitter spaces.
He's just trying to save his bags.
I don't even know what's going on right now.
When I see 45, 245 people under the listening line,
I'm like, all right, you know,
somebody's botting some spaces out here.
Let's see if we can add King of Hearts
Like he's coming from the 1600s.
King, there's an error adding you.
Holy shit, you made it back bro.
I don't know, I totally kicked out of space.
I didn't, like I got a phone call
and it just totally kicked,
you know how you should just pause this
But then I kept trying to get back in
but every time I got on stage,
I couldn't hear you guys so I kept leaving.
But you know, it wasn't cooperating with me.
You're a listener right now.
You're not even on the stage for me.
I love doing mysterious shit in these spaces.
Tell them a little bit about tonight
and the music space that we got going on at 9.30.
Something that we've been doing right now
and King's really kicking up a notch.
Last time he was doing some X live showing the beats,
showing how he's in the studio,
really behind the scenes,
producing the music that we're gonna rock out to here
tonight in just a few hours.
Oh yeah, but definitely more focused this year
on putting out more content behind the scenes
and working on the YouTube page and whatnot.
I'm not gonna be releasing any like
new collections anytime soon.
So we host these spaces every Friday or Saturday night
And starting at nine o'clock,
We just like play instrumentals
and like bullshit about music and talk about crypto
and you know, a lot of musicians come up,
they freestyle, they perform, you know whatnot.
It's an open mic, NFT kind of vibe.
And it's always fun, it's always a good time.
Tony always comes out, co-hosts,
then he's always there, I see, you know,
So I appreciate it every weekend.
And you know, it's Friday and Saturday nights,
like people have plans, you know,
it's the most popular nights of the week to do things.
So when they spend their time with us,
it's pretty special, it's pretty dope.
It can't be no goddamn slouch,
I can't play no garbage music, so.
If I can't play your music,
if I can't, not you King,
but if I can't play your music with ladies,
with females in the room,
or even Phoenix in the room twice,
then no, I'm sorry, it's,
We can't play that garbage.
We can't have that going on.
We can't have like music that's,
there's three types of artists that come up here
I'm gonna be honest with them, King,
because King is just too goddamn nice,
he's too humble, he's just a true gentleman,
There's people that have banging music,
and you know, they're making money off their art.
They're making money off their music,
they're collaborating, they're filling up, you know,
seats, they're filling up meta-verses,
they're doing shows, they have a good community,
There's people that are good, potential,
that they're, you know, they're good,
but they have potential, you know?
And there's some people that just really should just
stop doing goddamn music.
You should stop doing music,
and stop singing in the shower,
stop rapping yourself on the way to work,
yo, yo, yo, I got a new track.
Nobody but your mama and your homeboys
even wanna play that thing twice.
That's being nice, I'm just saying.
So, you know, I don't understand it.
You know, like listening to the YouTubers' raps tracks?
No, tonight I want you to come, get refreshed.
It's starting in like an hour and a half,
No, wait, an hour and 45 minutes.
Yeah, it should be at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Yeah, an hour and 45 minutes, I was bad on the math.
And if you see people, or you hear people on the mic
that are just, you know, dogging it, sandbagging it,
I want you to come, Sally, and just give us thumbs down.
And be like, who's man's is that?
And then be like, yo, bro, bro, just be honest with them,
bro, there's three types of people.
There's the good ones, there's the potential ones,
and there's the ones that just need to stop.
And, you know, like, yo, drop your mic,
hang out on stage, but you need to stop, you know?
Just let them know, Sally.
Yo, one weekend, we decided to come out
with this little rule that if you come on the stage
in your whack, and you get thumbs down,
by a certain amount of thumbs down from the audience,
you know, by fault, you gotta just get the boot off stage.
Not a lot of people wanted to come up that night.
I seen an Uber driver playing a rap track
to a guy that she was driving.
Yeah, but in all seriousness, you're beginning
to get a lot of good artists in there as well,
so a lot of nice rappers.
There's always a lot of people in the listener section
just vibing out, creating art.
They like to listen to instrumentals,
Never know unless you go.
I mean, that's what they say, right?
Yo, that's my saying, man.
You don't know until you go, baby.
You gotta show up to blow up.
So absolutely, it's gonna be a good time.
And there are a lot of sick singers, producers, vocalists,
Chaos might even just sing us a little Frank Sinatra
You never know what's going on.
So it's gonna be an exciting time.
King Arts definitely has the beats.
You don't need to be a pro.
If you're a garage band rocker, you know,
hip hopper, you know, let's hear it, baby.
Let's hear it come out an hour and 45 minutes.
We're gonna take a little reset in just a little bit.
Head over to the discord.
If you haven't already, you know, jump in there.
Make sure that you're in the chat.
You'll see when people are in the live
and you'll be able to smoke with Tony,
hang out with the gang, see people face to face
and just be a true DJN with us.
See my ugly face there, David.
We're gonna catch up later, big papa.
Hope to catch up with you too, Sally.
But yeah, I think right now,
crypto is a good time to find good communities,
good projects and go long on them.
Also at the same time, if you know coins
are getting a little exhausted,
if coins are necessarily have been over performing
in the last few months or in the last 30 days
or two weeks, you know, you can take profits.
There's nothing wrong with taking profits.
A lot of people fail to do that.
And then they become down bad.
Their bags are just crushed.
You can never win financially
unless you like show some gains.
And I think that a lot of people are just fixated
to like holding both crypto and NFTs
and they get fixated to both communities
and their positions and their coins.
Unless that you're a Bitcoin maxi
and you never want to sell your Bitcoin
and you're just accumulating,
you can short sell it and buy back
Like there's ways that you can play both sides of the market
even if you just like one coin.
So, you know, find things that are appealing to you
and find things that you believe in long-term.
I think that there's lots of great communities.
I think Solana, we will see
a little bit of a Solana pump.
I don't think Solana days are done yet.
I think that we'll see a drop back down.
Like Benny was mentioning earlier in the discourse,
maybe even to 60, 50, 70.
And then after go up to like 120 and maybe 150,
but it's the people that are willing to take those risks
when people feel like, you know,
there could be another 20% slide
after it just fell 30% in the last 10 days, 20 days.
So, you know, if you see the coins even like appropriately,
I like the Solana, the token.
I like that it's a layer one different from like polygon.
They don't have like wrap this, wrap that.
It just makes it easier for people to buy NFTs
straight with a native token.
Also too, I think that this big decentralized platform,
Jupiter is really gonna bring some more light
and some more builders to the Solana platform.
And then I think that like Rust
is a pretty popular coding language
that a lot of people have slept on in the past.
And I think that it's gonna become more and more popular
as people see that Ethereum is a little bit clunky.
It's a little bit expensive.
It's not the best financial solution or scalable technology
for people that are doing high transactions
with their NFT communities or other projects or businesses.
I think that Solana is a indefinitely top,
undoubtedly top 10, top five blockchain.
And I think that like a lot of people still haven't invested
I think if you haven't take a look at sniper.xyz
and take a look at the OG Doodle Tannic Collection,
kindly do so for under two Solana.
While Solana is dipped, you can pick it up.
The floor stays pretty solid
regardless of the sole price.
People ride it up as the sole price.
They're not just dropping the sole.
They're not just dropping the floor price
on the Doodle Tannic Collection as soles increasing.
And I think that it's such a thin floor.
There's very few NFTs listed there on sniper.xyz
and any of the Solana aggregators,
you could definitely get into a OG Doodle Tannic
at some affordable rates right now on the dip.
So take a look at it, but let's keep it going.
Puss Ninjas, are you a Solana collector?
Do you own any Solana NFTs right now?
He's just stuck in a tree.
He's just, he's prowling right now in a tree.
King of hearts, you got your mic open.
You weren't able to hear me?
Yeah, it looks like you have an open mic
or maybe I'm just glitching.
I think you're in Doodle.
I think you're glitching.
Yeah, you're definitely safe, King.
Your mic was muted for everybody else.
I think Doodle's just glitching.
He sounded a bit worried.
King, what are you doing over there?
Uh-oh, did you hear that?
We almost hit the rug bug.
That was the like 15 seconds of elevator music
before the space just wiped out.
But I'm back, motherfuckers.
I did a Tom Cruise eject out of it.
Like Top Gun did like a loop with the plane
and just fell right back into the driver's seat
and I'm just fucking jetting, baby.
Hopefully I don't sound rugged.
I just had to dig through my garage for something.
I'm back and I'm in action.
Now we can hear you now, King.
As long as you can see that he's muted,
that's the most important thing
because otherwise things are gonna go
absolutely ape shit before we know it.
Of course, that's a different type of blockchain,
but that's one that people don't really want to see.
We know monkeys like to throw shit.
Monkeys like to throw shit.
I don't know if it's the weed that I'm smoking
or we're almost getting to the DJ hours here
on a Friday night, but damn.
What time is it right now in Ireland?
Yeah, this past 12 years.
10 hours, they're coming up right now.
You know what's up, baby?
Get loose off the doodle juice.
If you got some, roll some, pop some, smoke some.
You know what we got going on.
And if you don't retweet the room,
when you go give your mom a hug,
the love is not gonna feel the same.
And when you go rest your little doodle
on your little pillow tonight,
your little head, your little noodle doodle,
you're gonna just be like,
damn, I forgot to retweet the room for doodle genics.
My mama's love doesn't feel the same.
The eggs don't even taste the same
and the bacon don't even smell the same.
But if you can retweet it,
say something nice, drop some comments.
Maybe you think that the Solana phone sucks.
but he's a pretty wealthy bozo if he's a,
the phone is worth like 5,000 plus on eBay
and it's selling on local classifieds here for $8,000.
See, I try to pull a quick one on him.
I try to be exit liquidity.
He's like, I'm not taking it.
I try to do some reverse psychology and say I don't want it.
He says he's not taking it.
I'm waiting on the saga too now.
But David, what do you think the phone's gonna do?
He's willing to take offers at $10,000.
I definitely need a new phone
because I'm on an iPhone 12,
which is like what, like five years ago now
at this stage and it's like, it's still working,
but like the battery is starting to give up.
So I'm kind of gonna be screwed soon.
So basically I'll have to have a power bank with me
like 24 seven and then try to have,
keep the power bank charged as well
to keep the phone charged.
You know, the iPhone battery problems.
What else are you gonna do about it?
And hopefully that there's a better thing coming my way
and hopefully I'll be able to afford
to actually get something a hell of a lot better
than what I already have.
But that's all we can hope for.
We'll get there eventually.
It'll take a little bit of time to get there,
but hopefully in the next six months
we'll be able to get a new phone.
You know, have to upgrade sometime eventually.
Kind of love his fucking accent, King.
He's got a fucking classy accent.
I want to drink some fucking pauper 12 right now, baby.
Dude, can I really mess with your head right now?
With how high you actually are getting?
I hope I can do this right
because I can do a few different accents,
but I'm not sure which one's gonna come out
when I start to try and do an accent
because usually I might use it
before I even try to get into an accent,
We'll just see what happens.
and we'll see what happens after that.
We're not sure where we'll end up.
We could end up anywhere in the world.
You know, that's just how good we can be.
We can go almost anywhere.
I'm somehow stuck in the US right now, but...
Yeah, I can change out of that easy enough, you know?
It's not that hard to actually change
from one voice to another.
I don't know how people end up using the voice changer.
You can just practice different accents
oh my God, we can go anywhere in the world.
We can sound a little bit different than everybody else.
It's so amazing, you know?
Oh my God, you know, we can just go here, there.
And yeah, we'll go back to Ireland now for a little bit
and we'll see what happens after that, you know?
Anything's possible, you know?
It makes me think, is this Ireland accent really Irish accent?
I'm part of Ireland still living in Ireland.
So yeah, it really is me actually speaking now,
I'm just wondering though, if I can do California.
It's like, you know, we can go to California.
We can have like so much fun over it, you know?
Like, you just go down to the beach
and you have like the best time ever.
And like, you know, you see all these different looking people.
You know, there's the beautiful people
and because the people are so beautiful,
you see some really, really ugly people.
It's like, oh my God, do you even know?
Yeah, so I don't know why people use a voice changer.
You don't really need it.
Like you can just do different accent.
Everybody laughed their heads off.
It's not that actually hard.
I don't know how people haven't realized that.
You're giving me a heart attack.
I'm fucking crying at the same time
while I'm getting abs right now.
I heard so many people in so many genres.
People are getting into this space.
I just advise them to run.
They don't even know what they're getting into right now.
But, you know, he's pretty fucking good.
He's pretty fucking good.
I'll give you that, David.
I just couldn't help myself.
You know, I just have to do a few different voices
Now I don't make everybody laugh their heads off
hearing this Irish guy do so many different voices
but I can't really do the Russian.
I can try, but all I can really say in Russian
That's about all I can say in Russian,
it doesn't sound right, you know?
It just sounds a bit backwards, you know?
It doesn't sound like a proper Russian accent, you know?
I just don't know how I haven't mastered that one yet,
It's all just a little bit of practice, you know?
David, David, David, David, David, David, David, David.
Listen, Tony, Tony has the Russian mafia here.
Doodle mafia, Mishka mafia, you know, bro,
if you want the mafia, Russian mafia, I'm telling you,
be careful what you wish for, all right?
Because, you know, they're feisty, they're kicking,
they're shouting, they're giving people the back chatter.
You just never know what you get with the Russian mafia.
But David, you're a fucking OG, you're a legend up here.
Let's go around the room and say what's up
to all these amazing folks up here in this space.
His accents, I would say 9.8 out of 10.
So 9.8, you're almost at like perfect.
You got like the super Madden feature or something.
You got like invincible mode going on at Madden.
But yo, those voices were banging.
Let's say what's up to Gigi.
Let's say what's up to all the amazing folks
that we have here on the panel as well too.
And see what they think about the Solana Summer,
the airdrops, and the new saga phone.
Gigi, GM, GM, good afternoon, good evening.
How you feeling, my friend?
GM, GM, I'm feeling good here.
Making a little bit of food,
cooking it up, like actually literally.
And feeling lots of FOMO with the phone.
Saw it all over the timeline.
I was like, oh, should I get it?
No, I like my iPhone, you know, in total L.
I just got a 15 Pro Max and Ryan just keeps fading me
Doodlegenix, you suck, Tony,
because I've gotten double what your phone is worth.
And the airdrops are just paying dividends.
Well, I'm having glitchy wifi problems here
But why did you decide not to get it Gigi?
Did any of your friends get the phone
and give you a little FOMO?
I didn't get it just because of that.
Like a lot of people may think that I'm out there
doing the most and I'm actually like really low key
It's like, I'm such a safe person with spending.
So I was like, ah, I already have a phone.
It doesn't make sense that I get another one.
But then, and yeah, a bunch of my friends got it.
So they've been taking the loose
with all the airdrops happening.
I don't do the meme coins.
I'm just safe with my D gen ways.
I would have loved to get the saga too.
And I'm trying to actually do the process.
I think it's going to be worth it.
We talked about it earlier.
Have you invested into Solana
or any Solana projects in the past?
Do you think this is going to be a Solana summer in 2024?
Yeah, I mean, I definitely have Solana.
I did not cut more when it was $10.
So, you know, but who cares, right?
Like I think if you're in crypto for the long term,
whether it's $100, 580, 10,
Like just do those weekly buys, do those monthly buys.
Don't buy that Starbucks.
Like literally start buying coins, stack up.
So I, you know, I have my Solana, so I'm good there.
And I only have bought one Solana project.
which was Ape List, I think it's the name.
Just Ape gave me one NFT.
And then I bought a Bodego to support EC,
and my Bodego is still sick.
I like that one from Easy Bodega.
I was thinking King Bud for a second.
No, so I definitely have way more in E.
I would say E is like my main area for sure.
I have most of my NFTs there,
but I have some Sol, I have Avax, I have Nier.
Like I also invest in like other altcoins,
but I don't do much and like the shit coin.
I just don't have enough time.
Like I wish I had enough time
because my friends are like, yo,
I made a hundred Sol today, flipping some coins.
I'm like, great, good for you.
Like I'm actually happy for you.
So I made some chicken, some air fried chicken breasts,
like Cajun vibes, you know, some cayenne, paprika,
like garlic, it was in pickle, like pickle juice,
And then I am boiling some peppers
that then I'm gonna also put in the air fryer,
do like some olive oil peppers, garlic, very Italian.
And then I'm gonna put that on an arugula,
like base, and I'm gonna put some avocado and feta.
So pretty lean, you know, summer's coming,
NFC pairs, NFC NYC, we get a represent,
but so good and so filling.
Brian, you know, some thrifted girls do cook, guys.
Some thrifted girls do cook.
We never doubted you, Gigi.
First off, Ryan is that guy
that just fucking catches all of those Solana bags.
He's got that Solana drip.
I don't know how he does it.
He's the luckiest fucking guy.
Gary Vee gives him fucking cards off live streams.
Like he just goes to nine yards in crypto
and he just gets lucky a lot of the times,
but he's lucky for a reason, cause he shows up.
The harder you work, the luckier you get.
But it sounds like a very organic
and gourmet meal over there.
So, and I'm bullish on people that use the air fryer.
People that don't like the air fryer,
well, you guys will just continue
eating fat fucking greasy shit.
And then you'll die from colon cancer.
The air fryer's just like the lazy move.
Like people are like, oh, you're fancy.
I'm like, no, I'm just lazy.
I literally just put my chicken in there.
I flip it one in seven minutes and then it's done.
Like I don't have to do any of the extra work.
Kind of sounds a little basic.
Yo, hand-tied chicken thighs in the air fryer today.
You guys gotta marinate them, man.
You gotta have some like egg marinade in with-
It is marinated, it is marinated.
All right, then after it's...
Then it's, then it's, we can rock, was it?
I feel under exposed because I have one
I am one of those that I trust, please.
I've seen people on TikTok make pizza
and fucking cake in this air fryer.
I'm like, yo, this thing is next fucking level.
I'm looking at mine and I'm like,
there's no way a cake's coming out of here,
but it would be fucking amazing
to just see a loaf of bread or a cake
just pop up out of my air fryer.
I don't know if it's possible.
Baby Gigi, though, she's a baker.
You just gotta do it, you just gotta do it.
Like tomorrow I'm gonna make some like keto,
like donut holes, and it's literally in the air fryer.
Like yogurt, almond flour, cinnamon, butter,
and like I'm gonna add like my protein in there,
make it like really good.
Throw it in the air fryer, done.
Like you need to find the hacks for sure.
That's why I think people have TikTok.
You went to Art Basel, Gigi.
How did you feel about Art Basel?
And how do you think that it's kind of impacting Web3?
I like to see OD Labs be super successful
and they're also in Toronto.
They're another Toronto brand here.
So I'm excited for some of the Toronto communities.
Farooq, from Montreal, you got Brando from ATS,
you got Raspy from A Kid Called Beast,
Tootlegenics, myself, Tony.
So there's just a lot of juggernaut Canadians,
but how did you feel about Art Basel?
And do you think that it's like gonna be impactful
I mean, Art Basel was dope for anyone here
I throw the best events just like myself
And we threw a huge banger.
We've done four events together.
I've done 12 total, like eight by myself.
And they're huge bangers.
Like we got the Dirty Rabbit,
which is a dope ass club here,
reserved it only for our event, free like open bar.
We had like pudgy plushies, like claw machine.
And I think that Art Basel is like that opportunity
in obviously all the other events
where you can throw something together for your community,
create a really cool experience.
We always have partners that sponsor to be part of it
and give their community access
or they're looking for like the branding side of things.
I think is it really impactful for like the overall community?
Only for if you are trying to deepen relationships
I don't know that partying over a weekend
is like the best thing for like girls of an industry,
but definitely helps deepen ties
for the NFT community itself.
Yeah, I think there's just, as a founder,
there's only so many people that you can meet,
so many people you can shake hands with.
But I think that if you're going there
for networking opportunities,
you could definitely onboard maybe even new people,
not necessarily if they just pick up an NFT instantly
from meeting you, but they know of you in the space.
They come to your spaces, they join your community.
I don't think blowing a bag on a party in Miami
is a responsible idea for a founder.
I haven't been to Art Basel.
We have a really centered community here in New York
and a pretty centered community here in Canada as well too.
And I went to NFTLA last year with Keith.
I went to the D Gods event.
I went to Shelby's and WUS event
and I met 50 and a lot of those people.
Met Frank and Kev from the D Gods,
which was cool to have a conversation with these guys.
BitBoy Crypto before he went haywire.
So it's cool to see everybody just building
in their own aspect and their own way.
So I definitely think that the Solana narrative
of this year is gonna be a big one.
I think that the Solana Hacker Houses,
they're just funding new builders, new dApps.
Where did you kind of get into crypto?
Did it start with cryptos?
How did you get into Web3?
we probably had to run into each other,
because I went to all those events too,
like the D Gods in LA and all of those events.
But I got into crypto in 2017, actually.
I have a bunch of friends that have been in crypto
like they're very big in the crypto space,
And we were all in Vegas for Christmas
and then there was a conference happening,
like they were throwing something
and they're like, you have to come
and learn about this, whatever.
I'm like, sure, they're so wealthy,
I'm like, okay, if you guys are doing that,
And they were just talking about like the coins
and just like, it was like a very educational one.
And that was when I got in.
So it was like December 2017.
And I was just like buying crypto, just holding.
And then later on I got into like NFTs in 2020,
2020 was when I started like looking into it.
So I came into the space by building Solidity contracts,
which reinforces why I'm like such an ease maxi,
but like not really maxi.
Like I think all coins, you know,
I don't think there's like one coin that should survive
and everyone else like, no,
like I think all of them should survive
and that will be better for everyone.
But yeah, so I came into space in 2020,
And then I came into like Web3 Twitter in 2021.
You started- How about you though?
So I came from a financial like background
from trading like stocks,
the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange,
the TSX cause I'm here in Toronto.
We have our own stock exchange here in Canada
and I did options and things went really well.
And then the market kind of went stagnant.
And then I was like learning about crypto
and like, I would say like 2019, 2020,
I started taking it a lot more seriously.
And then after I started investing
and I started just coming to Twitter to look for coins.
And I started trying to find information on coins.
And I used to put the little hashtag
with like Bitcoin or Ethereum
and try to find info on different groups.
And I saw a lot of these altcoins.
A lot of my friends were just fucking smashing like altcoins
and they were like begged up with like 10 Ethereum.
And then I was like looking at Ethereum.
I was like, damn, Ethereum was like at 2,900.
I'm like, these guys did extremely well.
So I caught some of the bull market as well too.
I only saw one bull market.
we'll see the bull market eventually again.
But I think that my transition from NFTs to crypto
was first to try to make profit
when I got into collections
and got into projects and communities.
I only wanted to make money.
I just was a Sicario wallet trading.
I didn't tell anybody that I owned them.
I didn't post them on Twitter.
I just literally bought one of them
with a wallet that I kept.
And then after I would buy a whole bunch
with a different wallet and I would just sell them.
And then I realized that there's real people.
There's real communities.
There's a real utility behind some of these things.
I got rugged with a few big Ethereum projects
like the Frankenpunks about some NFTs
for like 0.69 ETH, 0.5 ETH, 0.59 ETH,
another half an ETH and just took some Ls
on some Metaverse properties as well too.
So I just said, you know what?
I'm gonna decide to create a project
and we decided to found this small community on Solana.
And I was the original artist of our project.
We worked with two other artists
that helped us a little bit with the design as well.
And we launched a small intimate collection
and small community of 444 NFTs.
The price was super affordable.
It was like half an ETH back then.
And this was like around like $25.
And it was like really, really affordable at the time.
And then Whitelist was like 12 and a half dollars.
The floor price jumped to 44 Solana,
not last December, 2023, 2022
when we launched the collection.
And then we decided that we just needed more NFTs.
So we decided to do an Ethereum collection, GG,
We decided to recreate the art.
I worked with five different new artists
and spent like three months, 90 days,
put our blood, sweat and tears
into creating some really original stuff.
And then after, yeah, we launched on Ethereum.
So things are going well.
And we're happy to be at NFT NYC this year.
I know NFTLA is coming up really soon.
Pretty sure it's at the end of March.
I know Keith's gonna be going.
So I wanna show all sorts of our community members
that are going some love,
maybe do some giveaways and some prize packs
for people that wanna go and represent.
There's a great time to still onboard.
I think it's still stupid early for crypto,
And I'm bullish on people that are really creating.
And it's pretty cool to hear that you do Solidity
and you're a software engineer or developer.
We'll also have an event.
So if anyone's going to NFT Paris,
we're gonna go all out there.
More of a creators, like private dinners of your creator.
I have a pinned tweet if you're gonna be in Paris
because we're sorting through who to invite and whatever.
And then for NFT New York,
last year we threw a crazy banger at a rooftop WDL.
This year we're doing it again.
So definitely keep your eyes out
you don't wanna miss the opportunities
to really engage with the people you see on the timeline,
IRL without all of the vanity metrics
that surround crypto Twitter.
It's good to see people in IRL.
It's always good to hear people in the spaces.
Even better to see them face to face on the Discord,
but it's good to shake hands and have some drinks
and have some food and grab a bite to eat
with people in your community
and just continue to build and network.
That's why we're all here.
We're growing, we're building, we're networking
and building in public is what they call it.
So Gigi, I appreciate you coming up and holding it down.
Saga two, airdrop season.
It is upon us, ladies and gents.
We got my man Fidgetl up in the building as well too.
I see my man Fredo, Benny,
I see Phoenix Crypto, Captain Futar and Rick guys.
Hit the request button if you guys wanna come up,
Fidgetl, happy Friday, yo baby.
What is cooking, good looking?
How you feeling about this Solana versus Ethereum debate?
Let's end the goddamn debate.
From a developer perspective
or from a builder perspective,
Solana doesn't allow you to enter
into too many other ecosystems.
This is probably not what you wanted to hear.
I'm not interested in bridges.
Yeah, but no, I don't trust people.
And therefore I don't trust.
They created the technology.
People are, people are in this ecosystem.
Are you ready for this or not?
If in this ecosystem I have seen the worst of humanity
and being a dead ass serious.
I've been robbed for about $1.8 million
of my own money from friends in real life.
You are these people, Fidgetl.
Friends, friends who I'm still friends with.
Oh my God, you don't even wanna drop their names.
You're still friends with them
and they're still $1.8 million.
This is a loyalty I've never seen before, my friend.
If you wanna know the answer,
the answer is that they promised I'll pay it back.
And it's just, I'm literally giving a reality
of the fact that I have experienced that.
there's a balance of kind of an egregious
decentralization aspect where that can feed in,
could feed in more aggressively.
But what I found is that it doesn't.
What I found is that with our pseudo-anonymous realities
that we don't fuck over each other quite as much.
And as we do, we learn who those people are.
I'm building projects and launching shirts.
I'm excited to see how the communities respond.
But to think that this crypto space is different
than the reality space is false.
If you give somebody an opportunity to steal from you,
more often than not, they will.
So can't stop them really.
Yeah, I just feel like you could get rugged,
just going to the bus stop right now, you know?
You can get rugged in real life every single day.
You guys always hear this clicking
because I'm smoking weed at the same time.
Wait a second, wait a second.
What do you think about the Solana ecosystem
and some of the projects that they have, some of the coins,
some of the latest things that, you know,
maybe have caught in wind from, you know, the market,
the general public, because people are excited.
We can just have an honest conversation
about how much liquidity is available
and where the liquidity is being allocated.
I think, unfortunately, the Solana ecosystem,
whether you like to admit it or not,
has perpetrated or permeated an idea of kind of like
the wild, wild west or the friends that you don't want.
Meaning that they will take advantage of you
and there's no allegiance.
I don't think that's a positive ecosystem, in my opinion.
I believe that the transaction costs provides
a reflection of slippage that makes people kind of think
about what they're doing and why they're doing it.
So I prefer higher value transaction processes
rather than the ease and quickness of it.
Because what I think it does, in my opinion,
is promote the shittiness of humans that we don't want.
Oh, I'm just saying, interesting take.
So you think that people that use Solana are going to rug you?
By definition, and this is actually an interesting concept.
So assuming that the gaming becomes the prevalent medium
of blockchain, and I think it will,
and I think it's something that's going to work.
So you said that there wasn't a lot.
I just did a quick search and it's that the height,
it said it was at 13, I think 13 billion lock TPV value
And that was October 25th, 2023.
So that was just last year.
So if I could fully digest my thought processes,
I think that price limitations actually increase the value
of the activities and the value of the transactions
So I think that Solana, by linking their horse
to the fact of quick and cheap TPS
is opening themselves up to being almost like the back end
Egypt rugger of the space.
I prefer to have a space that understands the interrelationship
between transactions and transactional value.
And I don't think that that's existing on Solana.
I don't think it's existing on Avax.
I don't think it's existing on many chains,
meaning at the end of the day, if you transact often enough,
the value proposition will control.
So how much it costs to steal will be semi equivalent
to how much it costs for the thing that's being stolen.
So I think it has a long time to be to mature,
Everyone can have their own take.
I think that, you know, in some ways that the ecosystem
I still think that they can do a lot of really great things.
Can you get rubbed on all blockchains?
There are a lot of ERC 20 tokens that are worthless.
You just got to be mindful.
And I believe that when these pumps happen,
whether it be Ordinal, whether it be Polygon,
whether it be Solana, people will always take advantage of it.
It's become super easy to create a smart contract with Third Web
and Manifold and all these other LaunchMan FT platforms
and easy smart contracts that you can just throw some art together,
create a project, create a token and rug people.
So you just got to be mindful of what you're buying.
I think the ecosystem needs some work,
but I do like what I've been seeing lately.
I think the phone and having decentralized app is something fresh.
Apple hasn't been doing it.
We haven't seen that from Samson really.
What do you think about the phone?
I've been talked to phone.
I've been in talks with phone manufacturers for fucking years.
But Motivator has his hand up, so let's go to him.
And I think what you mentioned is true to a good extent.
Like, people want to say faster, faster, faster, right?
And it's speed to dopamine with all of these platforms.
If your dealer in a casino is shuffling cards faster
and dealing you cards faster so you can play more games per hour,
therefore you can make more money faster
or you can lose more money faster, right?
But if the cost in between or the rake or the fee
to those transactions is lower,
then you have even more opportunity to make more money
or to lose more money faster.
And so when things are very fast,
they tend to lose control.
The faster you go, the less control you have.
Typically, when things are rushed and forced,
they also end up badly and poorly.
And I think the intentionality is kind of lost
in the majority of the DeFi, shitcoin,
meme coin conversation versus the NFT conversation
versus the reason why you're using a specific chain
or swap or exchange to do your transactions.
So that whole thing, you have to decide
what part of the narrative you want to be a part of.
And if you're here to make money on the backs
of other people losing money
and doing the player versus player thing
that's associated with the trading, buying and selling
and arbitrage in between, you can't knock the hustle.
Unfortunately, it's a prevalent thing
that's changed the narratives dramatically in the space.
And then if you're on the other side
and you're building tools and tooling
and foundations and structures and new perimeters
for industries that have been exploitive
and predatory forever, then you're not even paying attention
to any of that noise and static
and the high traffic, high speed intersections
that are that side of the fence that I just mentioned.
And so I think long and the short,
there is really no comparison.
It's a matter of like your opinion
of what you like the most.
Some people have multiple vehicles,
so they have the option of choice of what they want to drive
and where they want to go and how they want to look
and feel going there and coming back.
So I think you pick your poison.
I think there is definitely a lot more intentionality
where there is more cost because there's more risk
and probably less reward because of the higher risk.
And that's why Ethereum to a lot of people
is somewhat of a lower risk
because of the intentionality behind what they've been building
and how long they've been building it and so on and so forth.
And even if you go into the fucking Apple store right now
the first word that they have in there is Bitcoin.
And it's been like that since like,
I want to say six months ago.
So if you look at format changes over forever,
basically, if you look at them from cassettes to DVDs,
you look at them from CD recordables and mini discs
and A-tracks and so on and so forth,
and all the way to streaming and where we're at now,
you look at cash to check to credit, debit,
Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, PayPal,
we're almost to that point where the underlying technology,
if it can consistently show that it's reliable enough,
all of the fucking floodgates are going to be open
for more people to get taken advantage of
that have knowledge and experience and information
So unfortunately, like, the cycle's not going to stop.
Let me ask you this motivational.
Do you think that Ethereum is going to be like a financial coin?
I think that they will likely use USDT and USDC and Circle
and make their own coin for the intents and purposes
of a financial tool because they can't continue
to print physical money, so now they're looking
to print digital money, right?
And they're invested already in digital money.
So all of these fangs, all the Fortune 100s,
like Bank of America is training 300,000 employees
So I mean, it's all coming.
So I think realistically, the people that are the decision
makers of those beasts and machines, like, they're going
to be the ones that choose which direction this goes,
and then there's all of us on the other side,
which realistically, you take all the crypto trigger
and you put them into a room versus, you know,
the corporate capital machine that we have.
We're not denting that car, unfortunately.
Absolutely not, especially compared to the NASDAQ
or the New York Stock Exchange.
There's trillions and trillions of dollars in there.
You know, we saw a little pump.
I think we got up to 1.8 market cap before it all started
to slide down here in the last couple of weeks.
If there's some salon of haters,
because you can't just be hating on the chains.
You got to give them some time to cook, all right?
If there's successful people that have done some shit
on chains, then I don't know why there's even a debate.
I think that there's always going to be a challenger,
just like Pepsi, just like Coke,
just like LeBron James, just like Jordan.
You know, there's always somebody out there,
you know, that wants to kind of take that crown,
It really comes to, how do you define success?
If you define success by financial, like,
if that's your definition, you know?
Well, yeah, but I'm saying in general,
like, if you define success by monetary or financial,
If you define success by consistency
and lack of errors or, you know,
breaks in the pipes or, you know,
people don't even remember Solana crashing.
Their attention spans are so short.
Like, that only happened about a year and a half ago
or whatever, but because this shit moves so fast
and people's attention spans are so short,
and algorithms rule all of what we see
and what we consume, like, people forget this shit.
And so the really sad part of it all is like,
you know, Consumer Electronics Show just happened.
It's the biggest and longest-running electronic show
It just happened in Vegas, 160,000 people.
The Ethereum white papers in 2014, I believe,
were, like, released there,
and crypto actually had a conversation
But you go there now, and there is literally no mention
of anything in relation to or regards of blockchain,
virtual reality, AR, VR, XR tied to any chain.
Like, there is no Web3 conversation whatsoever.
And the reason for that is because we fucked up the,
we've created a negative stigma and culture
around this space at large, and it makes it very fucking
difficult to do anything that's productive
or valuable with this technology,
which is extremely fucking important.
People don't like the word metaverse for some reason.
They like 3D environment.
They like 3D immersive, like, immersive experience.
But like, this word metaverse,
it makes them think of Facebook or something,
and they're like, they're not down with the meta anymore.
I'm pitching iSpice on a metaverse right now,
and I bet you everybody's going to say metaverse
when that shit goes live, and it'll trend
so anybody with a metaverse project will benefit from that.
But Facebook fucked that shit up, realistically,
Facebook told all that shit.
I like to just say multiverse now,
because each one of them are their own universe,
all floating around the sun.
And I think gas fees on ETH keep a quality level, too,
and not to mention transactions on the system down.
So gas is actually, you know, it's like a firewall.
That's why we have all these other blockchains pop up,
because there was such a demand.
Just think, if nobody else stepped up
and made a blockchain, how much clutter
there would be on Ethereum?
There are no standards in this space,
like Google says, in a sense,
like anybody can spin up a contract.
Like the Rust developers and coders are learning solidity.
Solidity ones are learning Rust.
And then, you know, Bitcoin...
You don't even have to learn it anymore.
There's a database that will wrap your code
and just spit it out into whatever you want.
Why do you think there's not a lot of shitters
They're like, it's too expensive.
That's the only reason why we don't have
an ordinal project dropping every other day.
And I think ordinals is like fucking putting
bumper stickers on Ferraris and Lambos.
But that's just my opinion on it.
But I do think like inaccessibility provides
scarcity and exclusivity.
You can't get into this club because you
But the real sad part about all this shit, too,
is like the blockchains themselves,
these layer ones and layer twos,
like their goal is to get as many people as possible
utilizing their shit and building on their shit
so they can make money on the transacting of that shit.
So the more successful your project is on their chain,
like it benefits everybody in that ecosystem of that chain.
So it's in the best interest of all of these people
that have big businesses that are attached to Ethereum
or Solana or fucking Helium, Hedera, whatever the fuck,
like to keep people coming back there.
And the sad part is if you have the money,
you can keep spinning shit up every single day,
every couple hours, and just dumping money
into digital ad spends and promotion
and marketing to drive traffic.
I bet you on Super Bowl Sunday,
you're going to see more stupid-ass fucking ads
for rug projects that are going to take advantage
of people that are looking to come up on some dumb shit.
And it's because of our lack of knowledge and education
that's not accessible globally that we have these problems.
And Twitter, X is not going to fucking solve shit either.
And it's not going to be a Dogecoin pump.
They're going to do their own shit for X for business
and X for finance and try to be the X for everything.
And if Zuckerberg had fucking two nuts,
he would create Y and compete.
But yeah, I'm going to shut up.
Oh, he's already doing threads.
You want him just to be Elon's throat now?
If I was in Zuck's shoes, I would make the Y company
and I'd get Y.com, right?
And then I'd just challenge everything that you're doing with Y
Like, you go up, you go left.
I would bang on this bull.
Like, I think they're both fucking ridiculous
and all social media is fucking trash right now.
Eric, today I was dissing Elon Musk.
I said only objective facts, that he has 11 kids.
One passed away before birth, but he had 11 kids.
And, you know, one of his kids also turned into a female
and he wasn't too happy about that.
He had three different wives.
All the richest motherfuckers,
like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos,
the baddest motherfucking titles in the world
as the richest guys had to pay
alimony and divorce of billions.
And Elon Musk walks away with only $10 million
with some of these wives.
He's not only the smartest man in the world,
the richest man in the world,
pays to get his hair back.
He's building a football team and a basketball team.
This guy's a fucking gem, bro.
Guys, I pinned up the meal I made
with you guys on the spaces.
I know you're cooking spaghetti.
I'm saving my major carbs for Paris
because you already know I'm going to eat like five croissants a day.
Like, you don't go to Paris.
Do not eat five croissants a day in all the baguettes.
I left Paris Fashion Week looking like a fucking donut.
Are you going to F.T. Paris?
I had a good time partying with those guys in Korea.
But I'm like, I got offered an official stage for NFT NYC
and I'm trying to find people that would make sense to give panels to.
And then I also got, I'm looking for partners for an after party as well.
But the fact that I get a stage from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
at the official conference is actually kind of tight.
And I'm going to make that shit bang.
So if anybody knows any company that wants stage time and all that shit,
Hala, and if you have a good conversation that makes sense to put on front and center,
like I'm down at Aliup that I used to host the conference.
I asked to consult and advise for them.
And they're too deeply invested financially.
So this is the best I can do for me.
We did it a few times at NFT NYC.
I don't know what's going on.
Are you using this a lot of phone right now?
Yeah, that's what it is for sure.
There's a regular platform with this Solano phone hosting Twitter spaces,
This is this is X's way of just punishing me.
They're like, no, doodle genics.
We don't want to see you when, you know, we want to see you down bad,
just like the rest of the crypto and Twitter friends or ex friends.
Yo, David, you got your hand up.
It's going to turn blue like Fidgetil's face.
Oh, no, it won't turn blue at all.
I want to say is I think I'm going to have to actually go to sleep
You're not allowed to sleep yet.
We locked arms and now you're degenerate forever.
It's like when you take a, you know, some Colombian creatine to go work
out, you know, you just never come down.
Well, I'm absolutely exhausted.
I've been up since what is six 45 this morning and now it is one
So I'm what I even have six five, five and a half hours short of
So I was like, yeah, I'm, I'm absolutely hanging tired.
I'm, I'm, I'm going to fall asleep.
So I go to say goodbye everybody before I actually go anywhere
because you just get to that stage where you're in exhausted
and you need to go to sleep.
And it's just like, yeah, Jesus, guys, enjoy yourself because I
have to go to sleep for a little bit.
You know, everybody else now can have a bit of fun and enjoy.
So that was the last place I'm going to do for a night because
I'm actually starting to fall asleep right now.
So I'm going to say good night everybody and have, have fun
It's not a fucking airport.
Tell them, tell them you want us to tuck you in.
You need some milk and cookies or something.
I got you big pop powder, toothbrush, you know, comb your hair.
So if you see somebody in your dreams, your dream girl, you may,
You might might snag her.
Well, listen, we got to keep it rocking.
We got to keep it popping.
Thank you so much, David.
Thank you for the voices in the last.
I'm going to put you down, put you to bed, tuck you in.
You're on, you're on a healthy diet.
We don't want to, we don't want to mix the salad and the cookies.
These things, they're not for you Gigi.
You know, ah, we could share.
No, anybody can eat these cookies.
I'm just, I'm just saying.
He's like, you're too fat.
Here that's like 19 ounces, 19 inches.
You know, nobody's fat up here.
Maybe, maybe Chachacri's got a big head up here, but.
You know, people, people should be eating healthy and, uh,
should not be just snacking on, uh, cookies as their diets.
I've got absolutely nice meal pinned up to the top up at the top.
You can order this for a point one soul.
Actually, no point two soul and you can send it to Gigi.
You'll have to wait a week for the airdrop.
It's going to come out of the sky into your fridge and you just,
send me point to soul and I'll send you a photo of the salad.
Damn, I'm at particular point 3.
They need at least 7 ounces of chicken, Gigi.
Don't sting out, don't fugays out on the chicken.
I just got a hair drop some scam token as you guys start talking
Yeah, try to sell that and get your wallet drained.
I'm avoiding all these rug tokens.
I'm avoiding the polygon gongs.
I just want to be invested into layer ones and twos.
I just want to be invested into blue chips.
I want to just buy some one of one art, you know, fuck with some real people up here
in the web 3 space and there's badasses here on the speaker panel, guys.
Shout out to Eric, motivational, digital, Gigi, daddy, genics, Chachakra, Zail, Poco.
We got the entire community rocking and popping King of Hearts and my ugly apes, my man, Ryan.
Appreciate you guys for coming out.
Go out there, have some doodle juice, light it up, touch some grass, touch some snow, depending
on where you are in the world.
Take care of yourselves so you can take care of your communities.
Until next time, stay doodle doodle doodle.
