A crew that's a span to 3,000 plus cats in France
With a mouse and some rappers

I'll just play you through the roadcaster from Abstract.
You can just talk to us from there.
But Squirrels, how you doing, man?
The other half of the Alpha co-founder team.
Appreciate you coming through the town square as well.
How's your Friday going?
I have caffeine, so I'm pretty good right now.
If I didn't have the caffeine, I'd be dead right now.
All right, well, it's a good thing to have on a Friday night.
A little Red Bull vodka.
Yeah, we love Starbucks.
We definitely love Starbucks.
Some Starbies.
Alpha.
Big love.
Big love.
Appreciate you.
Wait, so are we following each other on Abstract?
What?
At some point, we should all follow each other on Abstract.
Let's do it get that xp
i love it well um you can find me at tall guy there you go now are you whatever are you actually
a tall guy i am bro you've i've my pictures have been on the timeline for two this is a new this
is friendsville man i don't know if everybody that Friendsville is ever called it. Yes, I am. I'm seven foot tall.
Jeez.
So I'm actually a tall human being.
My man. No, man. Larger than life.
So tell us, while you've got a couple minutes, tell us about Alpha.
Like, what do we need to know? How can the Friendsville community get involved?
the Kingsville community get involved? Yeah. So, I mean, basically, long story short,
Alpha is an IP that we brought to Abstract Chain that was a completely unique IP from the sense of,
you know, it's not a pudgy IP specifically. It's not a Penguin derivative, which we love,
love some of those coins. But we wanted to do something a little bit different.
We wanted to create a standalone character, something that could create its own story,
have its own world, build its own lore, but also something flexible enough to be able to integrate
in other stories as well. And people can use, or not use, but people can kind of put Alpha into different situations with their characters.
So we wanted to do something that was going to have flexibility with that.
Storytelling has kind of been our main focus right now because we wanted to kind of set a foundational lore of what Alpha is.
We wanted to kind of display the emotional range of, you know, what you can expect from the
character or, you know, just kind of give people a gauge of what the character is and like who we're
kind of marketing this thing to. And it's been a lot of fun. We launched on buzz.fun with a 10-Eath
bonding curve. It was a really stressful night. We had some things, not go wrong, but just some things that we weren't expecting to happen happen.
And so we had to basically kind of punt and make sure that we got everything out as soon as we could.
So we launched on Buzz.Fun, which ended up being amazing.
Everything went really well, and things have been going good ever since.
We just got named as one of the official partners and sponsors for the world
series of abstract poker tournament today.
you know,
just really excited to really start pushing things out.
Dude,
that's so cool.
you know,
I love the character.
I also hold alpha.
I faded.
I saw it like 10 AM when I woke up and I knew tall guy was behind it.
And I said, you know, that's going to cook.
And I sat on my hands.
And then like that night, I finally got done with my day and I picked up a bag.
I think I bought the local top and then it dumped.
Then I started to come back up.
I think I bought the local top again.
And we've been hovering there ever since.
So I'm about break even, but love what you guys are doing and apologize
for being the mush, but it happens. We're going to break
through. We'll break the micro curse.
I'm not worried about that part yet. One of the biggest things to remember
is we're less than three weeks old. This upcoming Sunday, I think
is three weeks. And Like this upcoming Sunday, I think it's three weeks.
And the first two weeks were solely built around getting art,
you know, getting art done.
That's like Squirrels has literally been doing art almost every day to some capacity
and storytelling and lore building for the past,
or for the first two weeks.
And so we really haven't even started touching on, you know, outreach.
No doubt. No doubt. Well, I'm not worried about it either. Actually.
I was trying to find a post from this morning where you were talking about the IP and that's all you needed.
And, you know, my response to you was, you know, you're all that I needed.
The IP is just a bonus, man. I got all the faith in the world in you and uh i love seeing
what squirrels is doing squirrels doing all the art this guy's making you work hard um tell us
about your perspective on off a little bit oh man uh yeah so it's been like a hectic little bit of
time whether i'm doing like ai generations or I'm working directly with the artist who like prefers to remain anonymous.
She's like doing the comic strips. I'm like mainly doing a lot of creative direction and like brand identity and stuff like that.
So like I'm sitting here and I'm formulating like different scenarios we can use to collab with these different coins.
And I'm doing all these different tasks.
And I'm also the person running the social media.
So if you see Alpha responding to you, I'm on that shit 24-7 practically.
That's 25.
It's been fucking heck.
Oh, sorry.
That's 25.
Oh, God.
We're just running right now.
Racking it up.
No, that's fine.
It's for the kids. It's for the kids. up 75 no that's fine it's for the kids it's for the kids
for the kids um so yeah it's been it's been a hell of a run uh so far uh and trying to just
flush out the character right like that's the comic strips right like the whole comic strip
concept was you know i read comic strips as a kid in the newspaper, whatever that happened, and then I became a comic nerd, and then I became, like, a manga nerd, and, like, I was like, okay, well, the thing that every—I looked at what was missing in MemeCoins, and a lot of them have great characters, right?
But they don't have any, like, real lore attached to them.
They have narratives, which is great, but, like, what if you could expand on the characters beyond just like a narrative and so like the comic strips are a way for us to collab
flush out the character that we want to build it and eventually that will lead us to creating what
we are referring to as alpha's world which will either be like a comic series or whatever it is
right and um if it's not a comic series then it's gonna be a kid's book if it's not a
kid's book then it's gonna be like a light novel it doesn't we we haven't picked the direction in
terms of the medium but we want to build out alpha's world as a standalone thing so alpha
will have friends that we create and stuff like that we're not going to make it just a fully web
three product and character like the the vision is to scale beyond and so like that's why we're not going to make it just a fully web three product and character. Like the,
the vision is to scale beyond.
And so like,
that's why we're only using the comic strips in web three,
but it'll eventually become something better. And the artist that we have,
she's started in anime and like that whole realm.
So she's,
this is not even her normal art style.
Like it can get a lot,
a lot more detailed
that's great man well i appreciate you breaking that down too because it's
you know it it's we live in this meme culture meme coin culture and a lot of it is just the
community right but you guys are actually building something around it and using the ip
and obviously friendsville that's something we understand very well you know Steve's been pushing that charge with Nippy and and the Beanbag Friends and you know all of his collections I see
some Rufus down there and you guys were mentioning anime well you know there's a Atama too right
Taryn down there just helped launch the Atama Chibi which I love Chibi so much like you have
no idea how much I love Chibi art. It is one of my favorites.
Well, we'll have to make sure you got some
and get you guys involved
because, you know, you were talking about worlds
and I think, you know, Alpha would be a great companion
as part of a Friendsville ecosystem,
you know, within the children's app.
And, you know, we're building out worlds for projects there.
Chibi is actually the first Ville that will be in the Friends's app. We're building out worlds for projects there. Chibi is actually the first
that will be in the
Friendsville ecosystem
edutainment app, but there will be
opportunities for other projects
to come in, Web 2 and Web 3.
Funny story,
just because while you're saying
that, I don't want to lose thought.
You'll appreciate this.
Pre-alphapha we were talking
about wanting to launch a unique ip like this is kind of how alpha became a unicorn itself
um and we were we were thinking in the scope of like okay we know we want to launch on abstract
um we know we want to launch a unique ip but we were kind of thinking of it from the scope of more of like the Solana narrative thing that Squirrel said,
where coins are bought on narrative typically instead of actual foundational lore or an expandable lore.
It's like something that happened.
So when we were originally discussing this, we had an idea for a coin that we were going to call Uppies.
Originally discussing this, we had an idea for a coin that we were going to call Uppies.
And it was like the idea was like that all these little NFT characters were asking for Uppies.
It was just going to be, it was literally a meme.
Like it was nothing except a meme and we thought it was adorable.
So we started working with an artist to come up with a character for Uppies.
And after about three days, we came up with this character
that was so adorable. And I remember it was done. And I looked at Squirrels and I was like,
bro, this, this has been done before. It looks really familiar. I know I've seen this. And this
is like, this is not a new thing. And he was like, what are you talking about? And I saw beanbag friends and I
was like, this is the same thing. This is the exact same thing. Um, it was like, ours was a
little more of like a voodoo doll. And I was like, I knew why I liked this. Like I knew when I saw it,
I was like, Oh, that looks dope. But I knew why it looked dope. And it was like a beanbag friends.
And I love that so much so much um so then we scratched
that idea completely we were like yeah well that's you know that's out the door um and the
next idea that came to us was alpha um kind of being that unicorn being that unique personality
and so i just thought that was a funny story because we literally like we were we were drawing
this character and i'm like man this, man, this stuff looks really familiar.
I heard you.
But I thought it was a funny story.
No, man, that's a great story.
I didn't even know that.
That's the first time I'm hearing that.
So the connections are already there.
I think that's the first time we've told it to people maybe, like, day one or day two. But I think that's the first time we've told it to people maybe like day one or day two,
but I think that's the first time we've told anybody,
but I felt like this was the perfect opportunity
to tell that story.
About the character or about Uppies?
About Uppies.
I've mentioned it probably like
four times in other spaces, but yeah,
like officially when we're in the same
room, yeah, probably like twice.
I just thought it was good. It was time for the first time the first time i thought it was good but yeah that's kind of how we ended up on
alpha that's that's we scratched that idea we had to start back at the drawing board
and uh alpha was born not long not long after you said oh man we're gonna have to go up against
all those friendsville people no way like i was sitting there and i was like this looks really good where have i seen this and then i think squirrel said something and i was like yeah
dude like like the meat nippy idea of being a universal character that a lot of people enjoy
and then i went and looked at the eggs page and saw the beanbag friend and i was just like oh yeah
no this is that was that was a complete waste of three days but it it was a brilliant idea, just not ours.
It's a great idea.
No, but you know what?
There's plenty of opportunities to collaborate,
and we're going to have the books, the games.
Sounds like you guys are going to have the comics.
We also have a manga that will come along,
anyone who's holding the Atomic Genesis collection,
and they're actually, I was looking the other day,
they're pretty inexpensive, like less than .05 ETH.
They come with 150
friends if you stake them.
anyone who's holding at the time of the
snapshot will get a copy of the manga
for that. They're 666.
So, just a little piece
there for any anime collectors out there
that may be interested in getting into the Friendsville
ecosystem deeper.
But we also have the Frenzy Builder coming up, which is where you
can actually take your beanbag
friends apart. Well, I guess we actually cut their
tags and they became sacks.
Now they're all traits, but we'll be able to build
them back together individually.
So, that art,
you know, I've been pushing
Yuvi, is he in the room? Okay. Hopefully he's not listening anonym know, I've been pushing... Yuvi, is he in the room?
Okay.
Hopefully he's not listening anonymously.
I've been pushing him to kind of expand the trait collection
and maybe do series or do additional...
So, you know, if there could be like an alpha honorary trait
that went into the builder builder and people could have that
trait and then put that on their own
beanbag friend,
then you guys have,
you know,
kind of already created this mixture of
art.
So I don't know.
We'll have to play around.
We'll get in the DMS,
but I know you guys got to jump off for
your other space.
Feel free to put anything up top.
I put your,
the link to join the X community up top but if you think there's
anything more important feel free to jam that up there and if you guys have to jump out do if you're
hanging out um appreciate as much time as we can get with you guys i appreciate you man um before
we did i appreciate you we've been hanging out uh for a minute many many late night lounge spaces together um and it's it's just fun
seeing friends enjoy alpha as well um you know it's it's been a year or two that we've been
talking almost almost regularly on weekends so i i just it makes me feel good man and i'm glad
you're riding with us and i appreciate you giving us the stage.
Heck yeah, man. Heck yeah. Let's do it again.
I can hang out for a little bit.
Absolutely.
He's got to do his stream, but I can.
Later, guys.
Cheers, tall guy.
Thanks for coming.
Bye, tall guy.
Don't hit your head on the way out.
We have high ceiling.
Okay, high scenes is good.
Einstein, I appreciate you being so patient throughout that.
And I know you've been here before, so conversational.
I'll just jump in.
No hands.
If you've got anything for squirrels or on Alpha, love to hear it.
But I see you're wearing the grind hat, too.
Did I bait and switch you, and that's why you came up?
No, no, no, no.
I came up always to support the homies, man. I appreciate it. I see you see you rocking it too we're getting some more gbcs out here with some grind hats on
it's kind of cool to see okay okay well feel free to jump in wherever um and also jazzy's here
jazzy may be the co-host jazzy how you feeling you doing okay
oh um yeah actually thank you for checking in,
my girl. I actually, I was down and out. I thought I was going to take a nap and I didn't
want the pressure of feeling like I had to be up by a certain time, but my migraine is cleared.
I saw Town Square and I couldn't, and then of course I was in the space and I'm like over here,
you know, Friday flex showing my space writers. I was like, I can't was in the space and I'm like over here, you know, Friday flex showing my space writers.
I was like, I can't be in the space and not be in town square.
So I wanted to just stop by.
And, of course, when I can and where I can, I'm going to be here for Friendsville.
But I want to thank very much Jules for coming by and helping pull down.
It's like I thought about it for a minute and I was like, I'm not worried. Like I know micro has so many friends throughout the space. So I knew you would,
you know, contact and have somebody that would pull up and help support and hold things down.
So thank you, Jules. Thank you, tall guy. Pleasure to meet you squirrels. I definitely
am following now. A friend of friends is definitely a friend. um that was shout out to einstein um real quick
since i'm already doing it let's just shout out the room real quick is that okay my girl can we
shout out the room yeah yeah yeah if you're up for it go for it just just figured figured we
might as well do it not like last time where i'm like sitting there for 10 minutes and that page
was like a mile long i underestimated I totally underestimated how long it was.
And then I kept scrolling.
I was like, we're never going to finish.
But then I felt really bad.
Right?
Then I felt bad.
I'm like, oh my God, if I leave anyone out now, now I'm just going to be, you know, the
curse word that is, you know, is throwing shade on someone.
So I had to do it.
I had to do it.
But real quick, while we're at it, I left off on Einstein, who is showing up on my screen, at least. And of course,
shout out to Taryn, Fishy Smalls, Best Friends, aka Moon Rover, Sika, Champ, Sassy McGee,
Original, also aka Shady, PK, Laz, and so good to see you, friend.
So glad you're here.
Appanachie, congratulations again, friend.
I see the official alpha, which I will follow up after the shout out.
The Rocks, a new friend to me.
Rocks on abstract, but I love the green and definitely appreciate you being here.
But I just wanted to top off on the tall guy
when he was in here and he was talking about Alpha.
It was something that just kind of reminded me
as we're talking about kind of the figures
and he was talking about BBFs
and them being like very similar.
That I love it because Alpha was such an eye catcher for me.
The first time I saw it and I'm like,
what is this unicorn doing everywhere?
And why is everyone riding the unicorn?
And my favorite is that when Steve is, you know,
speaking about Friendsville and his goals and, you know,
his dreams and his vision and where we're headed,
he always, you know, uses the example that, you know,
it's unicorn status that at some point, you know, uses the example that, you know, it's unicorn status, that at some point,
you know, we're taking Friendsville, and it's going to be a unicorn. Obviously, this magical
creature, you know, somewhat, you know, of a folklore, fairy tale, whether or not they exist,
and what may have you, but just the magical, you know, kind of the creative of what Alpha
has kind of exemplified, I think is a perfect example of why, you know, we kind of use that
terminology when talking about something that is going to be so fantastic and so kind of out of
this world, you know, otherworldly, that it's going to be a unicorn.
So I think Alpha is the perfect kind of follow up and segue to, you know, what we're doing in Friendsville.
And definitely shout out to the trademark.
Definitely big news.
I know we haven't really spoken about it, but, you know, it's not always going to be super hyped news that everyone's like.
But I mean, trademark is a big deal.
So shout out to UV and Steve for never letting us down and always coming through and doing
what's best, not just, you know, for the project or business or company itself, but for the
community as a whole, because that's a big thing.
So thank you, Micro, for holding it down.
Thank you for being so understanding and so gracious, you know, with my ill-mannered, yourow, for holding it down. Thank you for being so understanding and so gracious with my ill-mannered ways. I was not 100%. I was going to be in the best shape to be here and be
supportive, but I couldn't neglect and couldn't stay away. So shout out to all the Friendsville
friends for always showing up and coming through. You can say it, Jazzy. I am a poor substitute and I know it and it is fine.
It is totally fine. We are always glad to have you. Of course. I just like to be here and absorb
the micro and the Jazzy and the alpha and the abstract and the Friendsville all at the same
time. When we have, I think the more the merrier, always. I think it is awesome to get different perspectives. I love hearing other input. I think, you know, sometimes I even myself, it was, I did. Nobody comes to hear me talk and, and, oh, it was, it was Osbot.
And I think Osbot was saying when he was, you know, shout out to Osbot.
I love, love Osbot.
I know we miss him a lot in our town square and we've always tried to set up an alternate
spaces for the other side of the world.
But in Friendsville, to be totally honest, we haven't
seen a whole lot of, I think, interest in people, you know, really kind of pulling for that, that we
would have enough attendance to make it a regular thing. But we do love our friends across the pond
and all over the world. And yeah, he was just saying, he was like, no, he's like, I listen back
to every single town square
and he's like you are always spot on Jasmine and I just like it literally made my heart melt
and I think for a lot of people who speak often in spaces which I try to just stay focused on
what is being spoken about and I try to just bring my perspective and honesty about what I feel about the specific topic. But like I
said, I feel like having more input is always most helpful so that we can hear from different
sources and hear from different perspectives. So I appreciate you immensely, Jules. We had not been,
you know, really, I think, friends or we had not connected yet. But I very much appreciate your
perspectives. And when you
come through, you definitely have a lot of good input in what we're speaking about. So thank you
again for being a good friend for Micro and now a good friend of Friendsville. And I hope that
you'll be here regularly. Yeah, we need some more emotes same we've had the same ones for quite a while um
chazzy i do want to talk about the tm for just a little bit but um while we've got squirrels here
i know we kind of had uh we shifted gears squirrels um just before in case you got to get
out of here is there anything else on alpha that we should know um before we kind of turn into some
friendsville news and and turn the page on the alpha portion of the conversation?
Yeah, no, I'm kind of zoning in and out, just chilling, honestly.
I'm, like, checking the account, like, constantly and commenting.
But, I mean, in terms of, like, anything else, like, you guys need to know. I mean, overall, like I said a little bit ago,
the objective is to scale beyond what's currently being done with memes.
And the token is kind of just a part of that.
I mean, I have my personal objectives with trying to build the brand out,
like create different revenue streams potentially,
like what those look like, I don't know yet.
But right now, we got some interesting partnerships in the works,
not just between memes, but between NFTs that have yet to drop
and then ones that are dropping.
So Hungry DGens, MasterChef has mentioned that there may or may not be an
alpha trait included into one of their i believe there are packs of traits that they're going to
have available um so there we handed them a character sheet of alpha and they passed that
along to their art uh i guess director and so hopefully that we'll be able to start with just like getting
r.i.p into other nfts uh and hopefully into other games uh we're having fortinand um
make some stuff for us uh like on a gift uh from frankie go So there's a chance we might be in Frankie go too.
So that could be really beneficial to us,
but yeah,
that's,
that's pretty much it.
Like just want to get the IP anywhere and everywhere in web three and then
eventually outside of it.
Cause if we're,
if we really want to scale and grow,
you can't stay in the,
in the bubble.
You have to leave the bubble and like obviously rotate things back
into the bubble i think uh from a business perspective if a project's not looking beyond
the bubble to then rotate funds back in kind of not looking out for their community
great sentiment spot on and perfect segue into kind of what we want to talk about, right? Because so much of Friendsville has its foundation as a Web3 NFT crypto-based project, but it's meant as a Web2 educational platform and for parents and kids and kind of let them softly land without even realizing that they're using the blockchain and that a lot of this stuff and the validation is taking place behind the scenes.
And so, you know, there there will be onboarding opportunities.
Right. Many new users coming in to experience this world and things that we can take from that world and bring back here that have been successful but need some innovation.
And so, as Jesse mentioned mentioned, earlier this afternoon,
a post came out from the Nippy account.
I think it's the first or second one.
Maybe the second one I posted up there.
Nope, first one.
That, you know,
there's an official trademark on Friendsville.
And like Jazzy said,
that's not earth-shattering, right?
That's not like a massive sweep,
you know, floor price, everybody gets excited.
But that's hype and attention.
This week, we literally saw Magic Eden, a major marketplace, try to promote a wallet.
And the President of the United States came and sent them a cease and desist.
Because they didn't have the rights to those names.
And they enforced their IP. And they were able to shut it down.
And so it was an interesting time on the timeline.
But could you imagine if we spent all this time and built out this giant app and started
to onboard people and then somebody else front ran us and had the name Friendsville and was
able to use a cease and desist and we had to change all that branding or go through all
that headache?
It would be really bad. So while it's something that is kind of just part of the news cycle,
it's also part of the business, right? And it's there and it's there for as long as the patent
exists. And I'm sure if the project is successful and the product is doing well, then they'll
continue to renew it. And it'll be a trademark for a long time. So just something to highlight.
Just another win.
Another W along the way. Chalk it up for the team.
Getting stuff done. The things that aren't
sexy, the things that aren't totally fun,
are really, really important.
Especially if you're concerned about
being able to protect your IP and
use that and maximize that to your benefit.
So shout out to them for getting that done.
And then, yeah, I just, I know I started this space.
I started it earlier today thinking, hey, we're going to talk about Grind.
Because NIPI holders were able to get their role in the Plague Discord
and are eligible for a claim coming up next week
uh either the 11th or the 19th based on the poll that ponds put out so another abstract uh meme
token right and um i don't know einstein you're rocking the hat uh i can kind of give a brief
rundown of what i think grind token is but do you want to drop anything there for us?
Yeah,
man.
to be honest, I kind of found grind very early,
whenever they did the initial NFT drop for the,
event that they had at NFT Paris.
So I've kind of been aware of it.
It's nice to see how it's unfolded.
the marketing is crazy.
Pons is honestly, he's, he's a smart guy he's been in the
space he knows what he's doing it's it's a cultural push man it's it's what it is and that's the one
thought i've been having like sitting here like listening and just thinking about the space and
like how things are moving it's like it's culture right like how does pepe and mog become like
so culturally relevant that like your dad knows about it like he might not know it's culture right like how does pepe and mog become like so culturally relevant that like
your dad knows about it like he might not know it's pepe but like he knows about it like it's
a thing like how do you get that thought into the ethos of like every person like and it starts
really with this kind of push like this adaptation you know transition you know uh what i want to even add like people are taking it and
doing their own things with it like and it's it's infectious and that's every meme coin it's not
unique but the way to get it in front of people and taking advantage of that moment is very smart
i mean pons has said i think i've been in a couple spaces it's just an ip like it's not going to be
like anything crazy now i hope maybe that's just an IP. Like it's not going to be like anything
crazy. Now I hope maybe that's just him underplaying it, but like, I really hope like
there's a lot more to it. And I'm sure within the abstract ecosystem, the way that they're using
things for Frankie's get Frankie go other platforms, you know, using meme coins on abstract.
Like I think we're going to see a a culmination and right now we haven't seen
anyone really lead the way we've seen i think maybe the best one is what newt newt um
i can't think of any others uh that are like closer to like two cents or anything but
it's it's nice to see someone really pushing for that kind of
it's nice to see someone really pushing for that kind of onboarding,
at least for them.
Now the question is, will it only be Web3 onboarding?
Is there still potential for getting users from other ways?
What are we doing?
And I feel like it still always culminates to the abstract platform,
which is if the abstract platform succeeds,
we all succeed.
Absolutely.
And,
you know,
I think it's,
I think that ponds,
you know,
he's done this,
he's been in this space long enough.
Anybody who saw the,
the magic Eden or excuse me,
not magic in the open sea,
uh, good vibes club, the Magic Eden, or excuse me, not Magic Eden, the OpenSea, Good Vibes Club, the video trailer, right?
We don't know who that green frog with the black cloak is
that's kind of conducting all of this,
but one could imagine, speculate.
So, guy's got his finger on the pulse,
and he understands that in an attention economy,
creating some meme token can benefit.
And he hand-selected, I think, 21 or 23 projects.
Unfortunately, Friendsville was one of them.
Projects, in his words, projects that have really strong communities that will come through and find ways to support it. And the can find ways to support them and kind of create this relationship where it's a universal right it's not
every single project has their own individual um it's one that kind of uh cross over all those
ecosystems so um i'm excited for it i think it's been pretty cool and to see all these communities
kind of come together in one official capacity um abstract too, right? There's a lot of momentum there. So, Jules, you got your hand up. We
don't do that. What's up, brother? Yeah, I want to make sure you get your full thought
out because you're spreading valuable information. But you know I like to ask dumb questions
sometimes because I'm not always tapped into the space. I try to be as tapped in as much
as possible. No such thing as a dumb question. a dumb question okay cool well then here is my perfectly normal question not dumb at all what was the concept or
the context of that video like what was that for for those of the you know people who saw it but
didn't actually research what it was os2's uh new video is that what you're asking yes yeah uh that
was basically the launch for their like alpha
so you know they just were in beta they just moved over i believe to alpha so we're in the
next step of it you know we now have voyages we have updates with like quests basically that you
can take part in on the platform um they're giving direct ways they're starting to be more open about
how the allocation will go for like the uh
open sea like airdrop that will come um we're curious to see how long this uh season is gonna
go because it doesn't really make a lot of sense for them to run it for so long because like the
quests or the voyages are like uh through like you have to buy nfts you have to spend money like
you can only keep that up and
keep people entertained for so long and so like they're gonna have to do something so we're
hoping that the xp drop will be not too long away maybe a culmination for like nft nyc i don't know
that's all speculation d y l r you know not to be rude to anyone but um yeah man like it's a it was
a video to kind of i think show prominence and a difference in the space.
I mean, I can tell you personally from the people who made it, that's what they were going for in their artistry of it.
And, like, I think, you know, a new direction is upon the horizon.
And that was kind of the, hopefully, the shot that will be heard around the world kind of thing.
So, general sentiment sentiment are we trading on
open sea or magic eden no right answers no wrong answers i guess i should go no right answer sounds
crazy i'm gonna be honest i refuse to go to open sea i don't care what they offer me i'm not going
back there they have chosen multiple times to ignore the community they have chosen multiple
times to not implement fail-safes
for things that went wrong with their platform.
They have not ever once solved the solution
when people did get basically hijacked on their platform.
Their support system sucks,
and I just refuse to support a company like that,
to be truthfully honest.
Sweet. No, cool. I like that um so how do you feel now that Magic Eden
I feel like jumped the gun with the Trump wallet do you still kind of feel safe over there
yeah I mean that's just them making a mistake on their play like for me I'm just looking at like
what Magic Eden's done so far and they've implemented things that the community have
asked them to implement their support team has been absolutely great in terms of response time and then they've
also been first movers on a lot of things like they're they're they're the first movers on
creating the the BTC marketplace area they're the first movers on you know having their own
wallet being made for the marketplace that they have.
You know what I mean?
Like they're quick, they're innovative, and yeah, they're going to make mistakes,
but at least they're trying to actually mitigate the issues that arise with their community.
Whereas OpenSea, honestly, this whole thing is just trying to get attention back
that they were losing in the first place.
I can agree with that.
Thanks.
Valid take.
Valid take.
I also think, I don't know, man.
Like, I feel like this space, we accept the, like, the faults of a lot of things.
If someone's willing to come in and do something better, like, I'm totally up for it.
I agree.
We should definitely be very suspicious on, like openc is going to proceed but from what i've seen they've
done what they should have done from the beginning um a lot better here recently and that's why i
think we're seeing a lot of those updates now what did that transition to is that just going
to be another oh we're going to get a token an xp token that goes to what like what what use case do we have right is this going to be something we can
use on your marketplace that like accelerates our buying of potential like what is it going to be
we don't know you know and so is it just going to be a token dump you know like doodles like
anything else like you know this is most likely what it's going to be right like that's what our expectations
currently are always in the space and it's sad that we have to be at that realistic level
and very cynical about it where we have to like look at it that way because it's honest but then
we also want to be hopeful that you know things can get better we can excel the space and we can
grow it so like where's the medium between that like is it just we need to
stop supporting like companies like openc that are just trying now or you know or go to magic eden
because they listen better like is you know one really going to do better than the other like i
mean if we're gonna bet i mean so openc is the larger platform right like no one likes facebook
but facebook's still there
but they're not the largest anymore
yeah i think i i think you know it's an interesting time and what you know what's
unique is that a lot of us who have been here have perspectives and have gone through all those
different growing pains um you know there have been times i've been incredibly frustrated with with magic eden uh you know during the during the um you know when blur
kind of came on and that was very exciting but then destroyed royalties uh you know that was
frustrating right and it changed the way that collectors collected and gave more advantage to
traders and you know i'm not going to blame everything on that,
but it was certainly a big portion of what led into
what was already going to be a falling market as the cycle turned.
So I look at it, and if you're a buyer,
if you are truly a collector or even a trader,
collector or even a trader, and there's participants on any of them, there are pieces listed on
and there's participants on any of them,
different platforms that aren't available on the other one. So being able to cross shop.
I look at Amazon. The convenience that Amazon has provided me as a consumer in my life is immense.
But as a business person and somebody who deals with data
and sees how gatekept a lot of the things,
they're very predatory
in the way that they handle things.
And they're one of the largest companies in the world.
They're a necessary evil,
but 30% fees on storekeepers
and the customer is always right kind of mentality,
that also hurts business.
And so there's an innovation,
but how much is too much?
And so I think we're three, four years in.
I mean, punks were trading on their own forum.
CryptoKitties were just multiplying on their own webpage.
They were just breeding.
So we've had, you know,
one major one for a long time
and then some incumbents.
And I think we need to see them all succeed
and we need to see them all mature
and put pressure on each other, right?
And then as a consumer,
we can decide to use which one we want to use.
So God bless them all for trying.
But yeah, certainly frustrations
along the way too i know a lot of things a lot of stuff gets broken in this space so squirrels
got your hand up man go ahead yeah i mean i i want to at the end of the day i want to see
marketplaces just do better so like i refuse to just personally go over to open c just because
of everything that one i've witnessed over the course of time.
I give them their credit.
I looked at the new improvements.
I mean, they are improvements.
But, you know, it's just for me, too little, too late.
You've lost my, like, trust.
And honestly, when I tried to launch a project with some people before and we were looking at launch pads and we were
talking to the teams and bro open scene never once kyc told us we had to kyc nothing uh and
then magic eden's like no you have to kyc to launch on our launch pad and i'm like oh checks and
balances thank you people who are trying to be responsible because they recognize past mistakes. Like, awesome.
This is great.
So, like, I just, I think in the end, everyone's fighting for market share and people are going to go with the mentality of, well, most people know OpenSea.
But I'm not that person because everyone goes to these social media platforms.
Like, you know, Einstein mentioned Facebook and, you know, they'll stick to them or whatever.
I still have one. I don't touch the thing. I go to Instagram, right? Owned by the
same people at this point, but originally they weren't a part of the same, you know, thing. I
just feel like whatever marketplace you choose should be the one that resonates with how you
view things. And if you have your ear to the ground and you're in the,
in the trenches with people and you're listening to your people,
I'm probably going to go to your platform, uh,
regardless of mistakes you make. Cause at least you're listening.
Like riot games listens to their community,
even though they have like really bad moments,
but it's better than going to steam who literally don't give a crap about
But it's better than going to Steam who literally don't give a crap about you.
you.
I will say today has been very frustrating with Magic Eden because they've had a fake Dremelio project in the top 10 all day.
And I've seen that a couple times with them.
And I'm not sure what's going on with that, but I would love to see them jump on those.
Yeah, they've had some interesting mistakes the past like couple
weeks i'm not gonna lie i will i will say i will criticize them for that they have been a little
bit off recently like pages not loading correctly uh fake projects popping up uh i saw someone
actually tried to like put in an offer on a collection they're apparently they didn't receive the nft but their
money disappeared so it reminds me of old school open sea but i mean i trust magic eat on i'll
resolve those things a lot faster so i'm biased i admit it i don't care no it's all good you know
but as you were giving as you were giving that rundown,
I mean, you were giving me, like, a bit of angina.
I was like, oh, man, yeah, I remember all that.
It was terrible.
I hate, you know, like, it used to be so frustrating.
And it was a breath of fresh air, like, when Magic Eden first came out.
I was like, okay, you know, this is something new to try,
but it's also going to make these guys better, right? And it took a while for them to catch up because, you know,
people get complacent.
And when you have that big of a lead and everything's green and rosy,
you mentioned Facebook.
We don't touch it today.
It's a part of a different generation.
But I lived in a world where I had a MySpace top eight,
probably the same time I got a Facebook.
And that doesn't even exist anymore.
They couldn't remain competitive.
And so would Facebook have become a better product?
Would they not have had to acquire Instagram?
I lived in a world where YouTube wasn't a Google product.
So we're seeing stuff on the fly.
And it's exciting.
And we're going to look back in 15 years and think, man, it was crazy then.
And we could have never anticipated where it's going to go.
But now we're here and we don't know it any other way.
And so that's just kind of old man yells at cloud perspective that I've got.
But I want to jump in just really quickly.
I was just going to touch on also kind of some of the I can't stand Open 2. Every time I, and it defers me and I'm like,
stop it. I don't like it. But I am one of those that's kind of set in their ways. I kind of like
traditionalism and kind of what I'm used to, definitely. But I definitely know Zubik was,
was definitely, you know, on his, you know, on his good one too, about space writers and some
of the fake collections. But like you were saying about Facebook is also the concepts of like
rebranding. I know that it was a big thing that they were switching to meta, but we still haven't
seen them officially switched to meta. And I'm like, why? What happened? All the controversies
and what may have you. And there's just so much going
on that it's like, oh, it's like, and it's like for me, like with Twitter and, you know, all the
controversy of Elon and, you know, the whole switch to X. And it's like, we still call them
Twitter spaces. I still sometimes slip up and catch myself. So, you know, the rebranding of
trying to, I guess, I don't necessarily know that they're looking for fresh eyes or fresh perspective or, you know, different crowd, you know, new eyes.
But I do see that that tends to struggle quite often.
And as much as I love seeing some of the, you know, new platforms or some of the new chains, Ape Chain coming out
and abstract.
I don't dally as much as I should.
I do think that they deserve an opportunity and a chance.
Anyone that is in this space with good intentions to help promote and evolve and move the space
forward is welcomed.
But as I said, you also have to be
aware of those who are going to be completely open and looking for new things and those people
that may have no idea about the space, but then see something new that attracts them and brings
them in and then they kind of fall into all of the other. And then those that have been around
for a while and kind of, you know, like myself, that kind of are set in their ways.
And unless there is something that is going to be significantly better than what I'm already kind of used to and accustomed to using,
then it's not even really worth my time to dive in too much because, you know, I'm just thinking about all the different customers and all the different people that you're going to be looking at as, you know, potential customers and keeping that, you know, that kind of mind's eye open that, you know, there are so many different ways to kind of tackle and to deal with that one kind of perspective.
But rebranding was my biggest one.
I'm still like, where is Meta?
I know they have the MetaQuest. We have a MetaQuest. Does that tie into Facebook? Would
most people that use Meta or know about Meta or like MetaQuest, do they know that it comes from
Facebook? So I think there's sometimes where they're trying and they're attempting, but they
sometimes miss the mark. So I want to touch on that real quick. Sorry, Micro, I hope you don't mind.
No, go for it, man.
It's a great conversation.
I definitely, like when it comes to rebrands, right,
when you reach a certain height and a certain level of notoriety, it becomes this level of conditioning that you have to break, right?
So like a lot of people, you know,
we were all into the whole buying on iTunes when iPod came out.
We were paying 99 cents for a song or, you know,
you were torrenting like these different things and you became sort of used to
that norm. But then Spotify comes along and like Apple music comes along and
you're like, you know, now we're conditioned to a subscription model. Right.
And so how do you break that to improve the, the,
the market for the artists because they've been very vocal about, you know,
these different things that they're not benefiting from.
When you have Spotify, one of the largest, I'm struggling to not curse,
the largest companies in terms of music streaming today, like it's breaking conditioning, right?
So we don't, we won't, I will never say X
because it's extremely difficult for me.
I've been conditioned over years and years
and years and years to call this Twitter,
like so as many others.
So it's going to take time.
And then sometimes it doesn't work at all, right?
Like I think with the meta thing that you pointed out,
like it's kind of going
to become a subsidiary more than it's going to be the predominant name right i i i think either that
or it'll become like the mothership um and i think that's the easiest way to look at it from a
branding perspective is like if you've been conditioned so long for these things, like, it's hard to even conceptualize
a new name or a new brand identity.
Like, that's why I think a lot of large corporations, when they change their logos, it's such a
subtle, subtle, subtle shift over years until it becomes a new one.
And I think OpenSea, tying it back to everything, is in that period that period of just like minor tweaks to try and rebrand.
Conditioning sucks.
I think OpenSea is scared.
Not in a bad way or a good way, but just I think whenever they make a change, there's going to be a ton of us like, we don't trust you right now. What did you just do?
Why did you just do it? And when you say they make subtle changes, that just kind of rings in
my head of like, they're probably just very, you know, trying to just easily sneak some stuff in
there just in case, and hopefully please a few of the masses and
hopefully not make the rest of them super mad like reverse conditioning we've we've conditioned
open c to be called broken c so now they want to make sure every tweak is perfect
which they should have done in the first place right we wouldn't even feel this way
had they done a little bit more of the testing and making sure, you know, some market sentiment, like,
ask us what we want, listen to what we want, kind of give us what we're allowed to have.
Obviously, we can't have everything we want. But, you know, at this point, yeah, and I definitely
agreed with your whole sentiment of like, I just, I feel like there's really no reason, no matter what they do for me to go back to open sea.
And I'm not, I'm not like a farmer in the sense of like certain things like airdrops and stuff don't really excite me.
It excites me for the space, sure.
But for me, I want to be able to experience it without having to do a lot of work for
something that could potentially just hit my wallet because I'm at work and I
can't sell it, you know?
Best airdrop to ever happen was ENS and everything else after has been boo-boo.
And there you have it.
Squirrels has conditioned himself to use the word boo-boo instead of a
curse word to save himself 25 friends you know what i mean i'm just i'm just saying i started
out with three boo-boos and now i'm like in in no just no boo-boos you know it goes it goes great
it goes great with uh with the bearish up there there's a fire pfp i actually it was on the
floor i i remember when you picked it up it was brilliant um it actually inspired me to
go into the bearish den um a couple weeks back uh i won a bearish uh still in ice
from frankie's adventure tournament um and now i'm sitting here friday night wondering
what to do so i'll put up a little post should i crack it or not find out what's going to explain
to someone who doesn't know i won a bearish but i thought those were just like i thought those
were just metadata that didn't get refreshed are those actual you can do something with those
yeah yeah you can crack that you can crack them open or you can leave it frozen.
It's like the unrevealed
beans that elementals
have or whatever, the elemental beans.
You can just reveal them at any time.
I think, micro, if I remember
correctly, there's a gold one that hasn't been
revealed at all.
It's that one.
It's micros. It's that one.
It's that one. I'm manifesting it. It's that one it's micros it's that one it's that one i'm manifesting it it's that one
could be i'm so happy to see squirrels with the nft pfp you don't bring this up right now
no it's okay dog
yeah i don't want to go down the rabbit hole of me hating nfts and then magically having one
he told me to not bring it up and he brought it up that's so funny i didn't die we've all been there it's love hate it's love hate yeah i mean
you're bearish af you know it kind of fits see that was that was the best part of it
that was the best part of it micro is like i am bearish as hell on most nfts and their name is
bearish af and i was like man and they like alpha i'm like yo
match made in heaven yeah like those guys actually know what they're doing um well played well played
totally well played scotty carlo guys are crushing it um proud to be bearish af guys
oh go ahead sorry no you go ahead
well I don't want to make you explain bearish
because you can obviously do that offline
no we could run through
I mean I think there's a lot of
there's a lot of crossover
bearish is a
combination of two
prior
it's Friday man my bad I've been hosting spaces all week two prior... It's Friday, man. My bad.
I've been hosting spaces all week.
Two prior, two previous
collections.
Scotty B. Mitch had the
Brawler Bears.
And then Tully
had... Was it
Bad Bears?
What's Tully's collection?
The Bad Bears? I do know Tully and scotty so yeah okay and so um they got
together and you know they they were working on drip right so the discord um reward you know
off-chain reward system reward bot and uh they decided they were going to do a new collection
and kind of combine their learnings as well as all their involvement in the plague and across the space.
And they had heard of this brand new chain, this abstract chain.
And so they decided to become one of the first NFTs to mint.
They may have even been.
I can't remember exactly.
But I know they were the first one that I minted on abstract.
And their community is really made up of a lot of the same people that I mentioned on abstract and their community is, you know,
it's really made up of a lot of the same people that we all run in a lot of
plague,
a lot of space riders,
obviously those two previous communities all were absorbed and they got a
bunch of benefits for holding the,
you know,
they have berries,
they have red berries and blueberries and you can earn them kind of through
the drip bot and then use them for different raffles and uh honorary um pfps if you can get enough blueberries so they've got some cool
mechanisms but really their um their rationale behind it is they they want to build a community
of builders right and so they're empowering people uh and teaching their community how to go out and
actually develop on the blockchain and you and make software and make cool stuff.
And so that's their ethos.
And they're brilliant at not just doing the coding and doing the work
and creating these things, but also explaining it
and helping others learn in a really safe way.
So shout out to those guys for everything they do.
Anybody else who's in on Bearish and anything I missed there
because that was you know
pretty surface level but uh feel free to jump in and and share more but certainly guys that uh i
know and trust in the space and i know they do a lot behind the scenes uh unselfishly so if they
treat other projects that way um you know they got to represent their own and have nothing to worry about.
I think for me, like, I know about like them doing the vibe coding competitions and stuff like that.
Any project that like.
OK, so, for example, like I look at creator communities is the easiest terminology for it as like the best projects to sort of get in to begin with.
Like, I know a lot of people give flack to Rapsby and like, you know, he's slow on delivering, blah, blah, blah.
But I mean, he's literally helped tons and tons of people
learn how to, you know, actually utilize 3D models
and create content from those 3D models
and even onboarded community members once they got
good into actually helping him build what he's building so i think you know they're a little
underrated they won't get as like much hype and attention as they deserve in in some regard uh
depending on what style but bearish i look at and i'm like okay well they're not super slow on delivery
they are probably the in my opinion one of the top two because I don't really like most IPs on
abstract NFT wise um there's only like two projects that I look at and I'm like okay these work
right so I think project one is obviously going to be bearish for me
and the other one is final ball suit just artistically.
Like you can't go wrong with a cute AF bear.
See, I caught myself.
I caught myself.
Man, you did good.
You did good.
I was ready.
I had my pen and paper.
Bro, it's so hard.
I don't have a filter.
This is like I am actually consciously thinking hard as hell when I'm talking right now.
Can I get your sentiment on Dremelio?
Because I appreciate your sentiment in all things so far.
Lay it on me.
The only Milady derivative that was ever good was Mo'Lady because it had manga and a little bit more hand
drawn artistic ability i do not like anything m'lady outside of that
you're wrong how dare you no i'm just kidding i'm just saying there's too many derivatives bro
like the community is probably cool but like i'm just not with it like i just can't get down with
it there's too many of the derivatives and they're like, bro, this one's different. And I'm like, no, it's the same thing every single time. It's the same thing.
Totally valuable. No, that's cool. If I didn't mint, I don't know how I would feel. No,
I do know how I would feel. I kind of like it. So far, I kind of like it. That's all I'm going
to say. Is yours even, is your PFP even a D dramelio right now or is that so that's one of
the cool things i like is that they're playing with the ai too and we're all kind of like the
art itself caters to my 90s baby there's nintendo stuff there's and i never had a m'lady you know
i mean i'm a broke boy i'm not gonna lie like i like to do nfts but I don't really like to buy NFTs. I work really hard and it's hard to
always be buying Ethereum and NFTs. And if I miss the mint, then I'm usually kind of sideline. So I
like to just be positive while I watch on the sideline. And I had a friend, he had a mint,
he told me, he said, would you like me to mint one for you? And I said, you know what? Like, I don't want to miss another mint. Normally, I'm usually behind. And this is kind of one of the first times someone's like, I got an extra mint. Send me some ETH. And I'm like, I got you. And I got one. And I decided to just kind of enthrall myself in the community. And that's usually what I do when I have one in my wallet. I'm like, oh, yeah, we're about this now, right? Like, pump pump the bag, but also like, I want to see everybody win, you know, big Wagme supporter over here. So
I kind of have liked the way Aura talks, the founder. I kind of liked the way the two new
community managers talk, right? Like it's hard to trust anybody in this space. So when I just
listen to like space body language or whatever you want to
call it like i don't really you know and um earning orbs has been fun being in a discord in the first
time for a long time and just being around the community and stuff has been fun so um you know
i'm not super turned off i can't um i think they're doing things and it's great to see. And I like to see that.
But it's like, it was 0.25 a little bit ago. And now it's like 0.1.
So, you know, part of me wants to kind of double up.
And I just watched the floors on all these things.
But, you know, I want to have kind of one of every abstract NFT if possible.
Because that would be really cool. think i appreciate earning the xp
on abstract is fun and um yeah i really thought like i said in my post in the in the bottom i
was like i thought it was early but everybody's got followers and communities and stuff and they're
gold already so i'm like dang i've been behind like help help a brother out if you want to but
yeah no we're cool like i i just think um know, it's my first milady's derivative.
So kind of like you said, you don't like them because they're overdone.
In my mind, I'm like, this is my first chance at one.
So yeah, that's really like my, you know, positive sentiment about it.
But not a full shill, just my experience.
If it sounds like fun, then sure.
If not, then nobody has to really
jump in if they don't want to i would never encourage that but always you know i think
the connections in the space that my friend's been throwing around this social currency thing
that's that's like the high for me is like being able to meet new people talk to new people
hosting spaces is definitely my kind of one of my favorite things to do here and like just promote the web three aspect of everything so yeah no that's why i say your sentiment is
super valuable because um you know sometimes we get a little bias we're in a community and
we don't want to kind of shy away or we get worried about being called fudders but it's
really not it's all constructive criticism in a way, unless you're just blatantly fudding, right?
But yeah, that's kind of what it's about, building and doing something new, meeting people you would have never met in your life via Twitter.
We are in a special space that is Web3, and I don't even think we've – I think we've transcended Twitter in a way.
So yeah, cool. Thank you.
Yeah, man.
No, no problem.
I mean, I, I definitely, I think what's prevented me from a lot of, uh, quote unquote communities
is like my opinion on predominantly like the, the art that gets dropped.
Um, but like the communities themselves are cool, but I also just, just well me and you will talk more about it
i don't want to take over the space about it but i inside i'll tell you this is a long thing when
it comes to me breaking down why i don't like nfts so we don't have enough time in the day right now
i i do let me lose that space i do i i do want to jump in Wait you got something to say Einstein
And then I'll follow up go ahead
You can just catch it about 3 or 4am
On like any other like Saturday
Friday night
Randomly just follow squirrels
That's the only way
I am nocturnal
Don't be there
Those dark beach spaces
Yeah there's no notifications of those ones Those are just Yeah. There's no, there's no notifications of
those ones. Those are just ones you have to find when you're following someone.
I did just want to, I just, I wanted to follow up on that sentiment and what you were saying,
because, um, it made me think of actually, we were having a conversation. Oh, I don't know if
I'm okay to speak about this, my girl, but we were actually, we were talking in one of the town squares because he had asked me.
It was my birthday space.
And he was asking me if, you know, for my birthday, if I could have any NFT or, you know, kind of item in the space, like what it would be.
And I had mentioned a GVC.
And, you know, what was interesting about that was, you interesting about that was Micro's kind of feedback. And I
don't know, Micro, if you just want to, I'm not trying to throw you under the bus, but it just
speaks to kind of the sentiment in the space. And I think a lot of times for each and every
person, if you were to really kind of dive deep and you had the opportunity, I know most spaces,
and the thing I love about Micro and how he holds his space and what he tries to kind of get from an audience when we're when we're in a space is is genuine, you know, certain communities or projects, they want to be very focused and very intentional about what they're speaking to and what they're delivering
when it comes to their community and gathering people, you know, people don't have a lot of time
to waste. And when they feel like their time is being wasted, then it turns them off. They
automatically start to shut down. They look elsewhere, you know, so on and so forth. But Micah was saying when I had said that a GVC was something that I have wanted, and
he kind of asked why.
And for me, first off, what is most appealing and what is eye-catching?
And the reason I have been so drawn to GVC actually has been the art.
And that's not always the case.
I'm very finicky with my art. Of course,
we each and all have our own kind of, I think, perspectives and what we're attracted to,
what kind of catches our eye, whether it's colors, whether it's, you know, layering,
whether, you know, there's so many different aspects, backgrounds, a lot of times. But for
GVC, for me, it really was the, was it's, it's the crispness. It's the
quality, of course, that kind of 3d effect. But Michael had said that like, he doesn't necessarily,
he has not up until this point in time, really kind of tapped in with the vibes of the GVC,
which, you know, it's kind of also was at the same time, kind of confusing for me. Cause I'm
like, they're called good vibes club. And, you know, and not that it's not so I see Einstein, and I
knew this was it. So I wanted to bring this up not to be controversial, but to get further input.
And again, that's why I do love spaces and having multiple people up on stage that want to input
and contribute to the conversation, because we all have our different perspectives of either what
we've experienced or our reasoning for, you know, why we may, you know, be appealed to or attracted to certain things.
And so, and it may not be, it may just be because, you know, micro, you know, in how he participates, maybe he just hasn't tapped in specifically to what it is that most people are, you know, kind of most bullish on or what attracts
most people to GBC, those vibes. Maybe he's missing it out. Maybe it's, you know, I know
micro for the most part. So I know when he's a part of something and he's really, you know,
focused on something, he does dive, he commits his time. So I wouldn't say that it's for lack
of necessarily exploring. Of course, I will let Microw speak on his own behalf
on that part. But it just, it was something I just wanted to bring up because for me,
I actually also on my birthday, I was trying to kind of see if I could, you know, throw around
and toss. I, same as Jules, I just want to say Jules, everything that you just spoke right now
when talking, you know, it just, it really resonated with me. I really do love to hear
you speak. And so I know why you and Microw are such good friends, because it's one of the same
reasons that me and Microw, I think, kind of linked up was because I was so attracted to his
vibes. And a lot of times when he spoke, I was just very, we were very connected in how we share
in some of our similar stories. And I just enjoy when we speak. But when he was saying that there wasn't,
so for Bearish for me, it's almost intimidating as well. So I think as much as I've kind of like,
oh yeah, I'm trying to like join in and trying to join and become a part of the community.
Like Jules said, when you own something, you have something in your wallet, you feel
said, when you own something, you have something in your wallet, you feel more, and I spoke about
it last time as well, you feel more, there's more conviction. You're like, you actually have,
you know, a piece in the game. Like this is yours to kind of feel, to pick up, you know,
it's your ball to pick up and run. Like you got tossed the ball. So now what are you going to do with it? And I think not everyone necessarily feels that when they join
communities, sometimes they get lost in, in all, whether it's the kind of disorganization or
dysfunction, or maybe you're just not tapped into the right places or the right people.
But that speaks a lot about this web three space and communities and the value and what people find
as far as value when it comes to the different communities and the projects that are really
building here. So that was just, I wanted to take an opportunity. I know Einstein probably
has something to input. I know Einstein, you, you, I know you rock hard with a lot of other
communities as well. I love your representation of Friendsville. I love how you came through for the Atama achievement. You were all up in the game, but I would love to hear your input and would
love to kind of, you know, play that devil's advocate, that back and forth on what it is,
why you rock your, your GVC, you know, PFP and what makes you so kind of hyped and so
adamant about the GVCc vibes if you don't mind
yeah no i always love talking about gbc it's my favorite place to be honestly
a lot of people um and i'm sorry that you haven't actually gotten to experience a lot of that uh
micro um a lot of it happens in the discord we do have some spaces uh around that a couple
community members host obviously i host
one on saturday you can find it in the pin tweet if anybody's interested um it's just vibes man
a lot of it is what chris and ty have kind of created and a lot of trust that they've built
throughout the space um a lot of that has culminated into things that are almost kind of
otherworldly in the way they manifest. Like realistically,
like when I first came in and like was going to mint the project, I was really bullish on it. I
thought I could do amazing things, but for how fast it's developed and gone through, it's,
it's really insane to see. Um, I didn't really expect it to have the launch that it did because
of the market. Like, you know, I was kind of bearish on NFTs and crypto in general.
And it superseded everything that I thought it could be
because of the fact that they just delivered.
They've delivered continuously.
They've made sure that anytime that there's a date, it's met.
They've done everything that you've wanted in an NFT project.
They've done everything that you've wanted in an NFT project.
There's intentionality behind the artwork.
Did he die?
Yeah.
Did we lose Einstein?
I'll give him mouth to mouth.
He'll come back.
Yeah.
And I didn't,
I didn't mean to derail our space.
Einstein,
you may need to take a look,
my friend.
Are you still there?
You hear us?
You're good. I got, I got a phone call. There you go. you still there? You hear us? You're good
I got a phone call
Oh there you are
Yeah
My bad guys
But yeah
They've done a lot with how they move throughout the space
And if you followed on their page
Every post that they have made
Has been really thought out
Their collaborations are very slim.
They did originally a couple.
They've closed collaborations since then.
They reopened it just recently to allow the community to get some packs from the Klanosaurs for their Popkins mints.
Everyone, like, I think it was 25 packs that we got.
There was some execution on that part.
But overall, it's the team.
It's the community.
So they really focused right now.
You can even go on their page. It's a lot of IRL vibes. It's meeting people, it's connections.
It's the focus on being personable and being very forward. What we always wanted from people,
like what we're doing right now, where I'm having a conversation with you and we're talking like
normal people. And these guys are like out of this
world like Ty worked at
I hope he got another call
somebody really wants to talk to him
or they're just
they're just trying to kill the vibes
the vibes are too good
but no I love this perspective
you guys hear me
you're back yeah I'm yeah yep i i'm back
i'm getting a call from uh someone they they were trying to reach out so but they they heard me now
so i should be good for just a second but yeah man there's a lot of history with it this is
intentionality in the collection there's there's thoughtfulness towards the web3 space not just in
the fact that ty and Chris are users
and people who have really gone through
and been community members, spoken in Web3.
They've been artists on the low.
Ty is representative more on the marketing and project side.
He ran over with Reddit.
He actually left due to a conflict of interest
and honestly morality.
They were trying to do things that he didn't
agree with and he left and that took some big balls like there's a track record with these guys
i mean if you're talking about the day-to-day stuff though man just go into the discord i i
promote everyone to please just go check it out you don't have to be a holder you can vibe out
you can ask any questions like please you're more than welcome to come in there like obviously
everyone in there is kind of a OG.
So for a majority part, like, you know, be respectful.
Don't go shilling projects in a random discord.
But like, for the most part, it's very inviting.
You know, come to the VC.
Most days there's people vibing in the VC.
Some days there's not, you know, it's web three.
People got things to do.
Honestly, I work.
Other people work. I haven't in vc as much lately but randomly on like a friday saturday night we can be chilling
in there with like ty ask them questions like they're very down to earth original like genuine
people and they just focus on being that and there's nothing much more to it um other than
that it's just the talent that they
have you know it's it's it's really the the guys and then the how they employ and how they
yeah yeah talent is next level um and i think you got another phone call so third time's a charm
it's like every time it's on a roll dude dude yeah yeah it's bad okay uh love you guys i hope
you love my ted talk uh apparently i have something to deal with on the other line um
i always appreciate the space jazzy i thank you for your questions micro i'm sorry if i can't get
to you i apparently have to get off and take a call i'll see you soon. Thank you, man.
Shout out, moms.
Awesome. Well, guys, this has been fantastic.
We got to hear
a little alpha.
We got to talk a little grind.
We got to talk
Friendsville, trademark. We got to talk
about
the opportunities that have been presented to the
community through some partners.
And we got to hang out with some new friends.
I love this. Jazzy, we're always
asking people to come up and hang out with us.
This space is about
supporting Friendsville, but Friendsville is
going to be so much bigger with
everybody else who comes through.
And so that's what the town square is about.
We come in, we vibe out.
We got those good vibes, right?
We got the alpha.
We're going to grind.
I'm going to have to come through more.
I'm going to definitely have to come through more.
Like, I like spaces that don't have the same conversation every day.
You know what I'm talking about when I say that, too.
So it's like, I'll definitely pop through more often.
We try not to dictate spaces. I also need to, I'm low-key just last thing i'm going to say about it uh low-key
i kind of regret naming the character alpha just a little bit because every time i hear the word
i automatically assume i have to answer somebody
maybe that was a hindsight 2020 thing but but like, I love the characters.
Now I can't discern whether or not they're talking about the character or
they're saying the word.
One,
one is alpha with an F and the other is alpha with a pH.
I don't know what you're not.
I don't know what.
Can you hear the difference?
Like what?
Oh yeah.
Visually.
the,
the letter comes.
You're going to get,
you're going to need to get yourself some studio
headphones and then you'll then you'll know um or then you guys you just you got to force your
brain down everyone's throat and it's alpha the abstract unicorn you know and just come up with
like an african uh an acronym alpha the abstract at a towel a towel a towel i do like what you guys did with giving alpha
a visual representation
because alpha is such a huge term
so I don't like everything
and I do like what you guys did with that
so I'm very excited for what you're doing
so far so sorry my girl
all good
no and you know what
let's run it back
let's talk more alpha on alpha in some upcoming weeks because it sounds like there's a lot of continuity and synergy between the two.
Even so far as you guys almost created your character after, you know, one of the ones that's in this ecosystem.
So, guys, I want to give a big shout out to everybody who came through to tall guy,
to Einstein. Um, we had somebody else up here, didn't we? Somebody else drop off. Um, but I
also like to give everybody on my panel one last chance to say something before we head into our
weekend. So squirrels, you're on a roll. Anything you want to leave us with quick, uh, 90 seconds,
dude, crack that bear open. Um, Definitely need to see what's inside.
I think, Jules Azonda, you got the gold one.
90 seconds, holy crap.
Yeah, honestly, if Alpha is the Alpha,
if you guys want to learn more about it,
I'm always available to answer DMs.
Community members, I've constantly repeated myself.
If you guys ever have any ideas on how you want to see Alpha depicted or any ideas on like what you might want to see us do i'm always open to calls
like lucanets i literally am just chronically online so i'm down to hop in chop it up see
where we can take this ip together uh because at the end of the day alpha is a token so without the community and the people
believing in the token uh we can't really rise and like this is literally an us thing um whereas
i feel like some other things in the space are not necessarily feeling like us things so yeah
let's make it happen um let's vibe out i'll definitely pop in here more often uh with some
updates on like alpha stuff chop it up with you guys about gbc everything you guys got in friends
ville i'm definitely want to hear a lot more about friendsville um because i think there's a lot of
synergies like you guys were saying and maybe we can uh throw in like a good collab there. I'm always down to collab with anyone.
Awesome, man.
Love it.
And like I said, tap in with these guys.
I don't really support meme coins.
I've never done it, but when I heard Tallguy was doing one, I said
I gotta try it at least once, and
if I'm gonna follow anyone, I'm gonna follow him.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Squirrels
a lot more through that experience.
And so tap in with him too.
Please feel free to follow.
Thank you guys for coming through last minute.
That was awesome.
Great start to the show.
Jules, 90 seconds.
Send us into the weekend.
I love doing this.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
I hope all the good things happen.
I hope you get to touch some grass and do other things with grass if that's what you partake in. And I hope you get to have great times. I will use the last of my 90 seconds to shamelessly say that I feel very left behind as far as followers go on abstract so i want to personally thank sika and thank anybody else going forward
who wants to throw follow my way i'm pretty sure it's just is it jules and um yeah you know i'm
trying to get started i thought i had started i literally was like oh i'm doing great with my four
followers and then i'm like looking at micro and looking at the rest of everybody i'm like oh man
micro and looking at the rest of everybody i'm like oh man uh i got some work to do so
yes thank you micro for the invite jazzy thank you for allowing me in the space and to co-host
as well i hope you feel better and um again you know have a great weekend stay safe and enjoy
yourselves and we will see you next time jules you're the man um another one, I just reached out to and I said,
hey, you want to do this co-hosting thing with me?
Could just be the two of us?
And he was like, absolutely.
No questions asked.
So Jules is a real one.
Glad you're getting back into this with us, man.
And you always have great questions,
but it's also kind of cool
that as you're getting back up to speed,
you're asking questions
because I'm sure a lot of people have them.
And some of us who have just kind of been here throughout the whole grind
don't even realize what we know that others don't.
So it's a unique perspective and it really adds a lot.
And it gives us a chance to talk about some of these things
that maybe we just overlook and talk about the current news.
So I appreciate you as always.
Jazzy, rallying, taking her nap,
didn't want to wait, set an alarm, came in, came in hot hosting. Glad you're feeling better, Jazzy.
Send us off into the weekend. Okay. I think I was trying to rug. I was like, wait, did you stop
talking? Did I lose you? No, I definitely just echo the sentiment of everyone else. Didn't plan on
being here today. I'm glad that my migraine has subsided. Definitely just, it always sucks when
you're just not able to participate in things that you so badly want to. And yeah, there was
some really great conversation to be had today. I like when it's not only Friendsville focused.
to be had today. I like when it's not only Friendsville focused, as much as we can come
and speak, you know, Friendsville, I feel like Friendsville is, is, you know, something that
ties us together, but it's only a small portion of kind of the greater ecosystem of what brings
us all together. So, you know, when my girl and I do this together, we're, we're just, you know,
Micro and I do this together, we're just, you know, he's a great captain.
I am his co-hand.
I am here to, you know, I have graciously, you know, kind of given up that, you know,
I don't care to necessarily take the hosting position because I'm a mom and I have a life.
And not that Micro doesn't, but I do appreciate his commitment.
I do appreciate how he is so reliable, independent,
and just to have that and be able to bounce off of each other. I know there's been once or twice
he's not able to make it, but I know 100% of the time on Thursdays, even though we have not yet
gotten out a reminder about the space, I know it's still coming through and I know it's only
a matter of time. I can wake up Friday morning and there it is. And yeah, it's not necessarily the projects or the
NFTs or our bags. It's the people who make this space. So as much as, you know, that was a great
conversation to be had, I do really appreciate Einstein's input. You know, at the end of the day,
I always come back to, you know, yes, there's great art. Yes, there's great communities. Yes, the networking. Yes, the connecting. But it's the people. It truly
is these moments that we get to kind of come in here and learn that we have similarities in more
ways than we could have even imagined. And that really and truthfully is why I continue to show up in this space for the opportunities that I otherwise, you know, may not have.
So, yeah, thank you, Micah.
Again, I'm very glad that I was able to resolve and to come chime in.
And I appreciate everyone else that contributed.
It is so much more fun when we have more friends on stage to help give input and to hear perspectives.
Because although I may think one thing, a lot of times it just takes maybe someone with a more unique perspective or someone who has experienced something that I may have missed out on to sometimes change my mind or to sometimes, you know, pique my interest enough to, you know, go look and do more exploring.
And again, that's one of the beauties of this space.
So I implore you all to, yeah, get out of your comfort zone.
Sometimes it is.
I am one of the worst.
That's why I try to push everyone else as much as I, you know,
push myself to go explore.
And I've found definitely some great things, you know,
coming out of my niche little by little. picked up some Ape Chain NFTs, definitely been looking a lot more around abstract.
The platforms and such are still foreign to me. I'm like, I don't know that I care to go looking
at the websites. It just scares me and intimidates me, but definitely supporting the
participators and those who are continuing to help lift and elevate, you know, the space.
So thank you all for being contributors and participators because this space would not exist without all of us.
So have a great weekend.
I hope everybody definitely touches some grass.
Remember your whys and what we do it for.
So definitely get in touch with some loved ones.
And, yeah, appreciate them because we never know what tomorrow holds.
So have a great weekend,
everyone.
Thank you,
micro and catch you next week.
Awesome.
Jazzy.
Thank you so much.
Glad you were able to rally.
Always good to hear from you.
Speaking of supporting the content creators,
tall guy came in,
he shared a little alpha on alpha with us,
but he's also out there grinding on abstract right now.
He's playing death race or excuse me,
death dot fun runs.
I'm going to go watch that for a minute.
It's up in the top.
Go get yourself some XP.
Maybe we can connect over there.
Jules,
I'll throw you a follow up if we're not already connected on abstract.
And yeah, Jesse, you're absolutely right.
You know, it's a lot of fun when we can talk to different people.
Also, the universe has a way of balancing itself out.
Last week, we were super Friendsville heavy, right?
We got Steve to come in.
He talked for almost an hour and a half.
And we got a huge update.
And so, sure, we were able to get the topical things in from this week.
But it was a little bit of a reset.
And get back out there.
So hopefully everybody enjoyed it.
Appreciate all you guys that came in early,
liked and retweeted through your comments down there, supporting.
Fantastic, guys.
Listen, have a wonderful weekend.
We will see you next week in the town square.
Renzo, be good. Thank you. I'm the bank of the police, you're in trouble, they go, please. Give me money, you don't need to give a time.
I'm the bank of the country, let it have peace.
Why can't I be?
Give me money, it's business, my work is not good.
Give me money, I don't care how you love.
Only me, give me money, oh. Give me money. Oh, you
