All right, let's go.
Now it's my turn next.
Wait, who do we got

Yes, sir.
Dude, Dave, you've already done it. You did
the Monday space. That was one of our biggest.
It doesn't count. He said it doesn't count.
You see that? He thinks that
if it's a space with me, it counts. With Keith
it doesn't count. I get it.
I totally get it.
All right.
I guess that's fair.
I'll take that, Maxie.
All right. Well off first off let's uh I feel like we got to warm up we can't just dive right in I mean we can but I feel like we got to warm up a little bit how's everyone's morning
how's everything going I do want to hook my boys up here, Mexie. We got to give them some bread gold
We got a you know, we're running this up having fun. It's a fun meme community
We got to hug both these guys up here Dave and Nick with some bread gold
So you guys have to send me your salon address. They're gonna do some giveaways
Well, this is how it's gonna be we're gonna hook them up Mexie and then they're gonna do some fun giveaways. This is how it's going to be. We're going to hook them up, Mexie,
and then they're going to do some fun giveaways for the crowd.
It's going to pump them up more.
They're going to feel more generous for the people.
So we're just rousing them up a little bit.
But it's for a good cause.
It's a fun meme coin that we've all kind of took over together,
that we've all kind of took over together,
me and my community,
me and my community, and we've been having a lot of fun.
and we've been having a lot of fun.
We started at 8K last week
that we reached 135K last night.
So it was pretty fun.
We're down to like 120 right now.
So we're holding strong.
It's a fun one.
We're still at a really low cap
where we could run up a nice 10 times,
20 times.
It'd be a nice one.
So we want to get you guys involved and just to send
you some tokens you guys could watch it you guys could sell fuck it you guys could do whatever you
want we just want to you know show you guys we appreciate you appreciate it my man yeah that's
yeah diamond hand over here man i never saw it just feels good you hook them up like hook you
guys up and then i know you guys are going to do some fun giveaways uh for the community so you know what goes around comes
around right maxi exactly and we got to get these guys in the trenches we need it they need to get
their toes you know wet you know get a little trench lifestyle going you guys are you know
y'all like sports and trading cards i'm sure y'all have gambled some pieces.
I'm sure y'all have picked up some.
Look, I don't want to throw Aaron Judge under the bus right now.
I won't do it.
But I'm sure y'all have picked up some cards that have been some kind of gambles. And then they get hurt and they're not worth that much.
Okay, the trenches are like that.
You guys, like y'all are going to get some tokens.
You know, you'll get some good ones.
You'll get some bad ones.
You'll get, you know, good gambles.
But yeah, we got to, we're going to be doing a lot of cherry pop in here.
That's what's going on. I see it.
Well, I know it means a lot to me and Nick or Nick and I, because it truth is our community is the sports and training car community.
Right. So is this is a key, key component to will be successful regardless.
a key key component to uh we'll be successful regardless but having keith and his community
and umexi and everybody involved um this thing can become something very very special so
we and nick appreciate it because we're not really in the crypto community so that's why
we're adamant that we we get in the crypto community so there we go we're onboarding you
the first trench warrior community on Solana.
And, yeah, dude, hell yeah.
It's going to be a good day.

right now what the fuck am i talking about all right let's just let's get into it though guys
let's talk to gem token let's talk to dave and Nick. Let's talk about what they're doing with the sports vault and the sports tokens and the sports trading cards that kind of all ties into everything.
They did a lot of work on the tokenomics. They've been working on this for, I think, about two years now.
They've been into sports and trading cards. I feel like their their whole life they're like career collectible
hobbyist kind of guys just like all of us my dog's going crazy in the background but i'm
going to send it over back to you guys i appreciate it appreciate you guys being here and taking the
time appreciate you keith um i guess first off before we go into like detailed questions and
stuff um it's important for me,
for everybody to hear the whole story of how this came about.
And yeah, back in 2018,
I was the VP of a social media marketing company
and had my first brilliant idea
to where I wanted to leave my job.
So I did.
And about a year later, I launched my first app at the end of 2018 called Tipple, T-I-P-L.
At the time in my life, personally, a lot of my closest friends were GMs and owners of
bars and restaurants and nightclubs and things like that.
And I launched the world's first universal loyalty reward platform for the bar and restaurant industry.
And I want to hone in on the word universal because the token is tied into that as well, too.
90% of companies have their own internal reward platform, but they're singular. And what I mean
by that is when you go to Best Buy, you have to go back to Best Buy. When you go to Target,
you have to go back to Target. When you go to Starbucks, you have to go back to Starbucks.
Walmart's not going to give somebody a Target gift card, right? So all reward platforms are
designed to be singular because you are only going to market your own craft. So
when I launched Tipple, it was a universal reward platform to where you can go to this
establishment, bar, restaurant, nightclub, whatever it could be,
and take your accumulated points based off your spend
and use them at another partner venue.
As long as it was a partner venue on our third-party application,
you could use it wherever you wanted, for whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted.
Within six months, we had over 150 restaurants and bars signed on with this,
got offered a couple million
dollars by Morgan Stanley, told them to fuck off respectfully. And a couple months later,
COVID hit. And even though we were not a brick and mortar establishment, my entire reward platform
was designed around the number one industry that got hit the hardest, right? The restaurant industry.
So I spent the next eight to 10 months watching 70% of our establishments go down, try to keep it alive, not going to charge the
establishments that we still did have on to maintain those relationships and pretty much
watched it disappear. Got pretty depressed over the next year, moved back in to take care of my
ill father who was dying at the time and found my old sports and training card collection.
And what I realized during COVID is that the sports and training card industry had a purity in it that many sectors and industries do not have.
Pretty much every sector during COVID got hit and lost traction and either froze or lost money. And
the sports and trading card industry did the complete opposite. Speaking of Aaron Judge,
I'll bring that up, Mexie. If you like the Yankees and Aaron Judge, even in the worst of times,
you like them even more. And that goes for any team, any player. And it's why the card and
collectible industry was one of the few, few, few sectors that actually grew during tough times.
It wasn't affected by outside sources, whether it was COVID or a climate change or a presidential candidacy or a war.
It does not matter. It was such a pure, pure sector.
And so I got the idea of taking my reward platform and transferring it to the sports and trading card industry.
Long story short, we launched that, me and Nick, in the summer of 2023.
And on our way to go get funding at an event called TechCrunch Disrupt,
I'm not sure if any of you are aware of what it is.
It's a huge event in San Francisco that you have to, it's very hard to get approved for.
We applied, ended up going out to San Francisco, pitching our app, hard to get approved for um we applied ended up going out to san francisco
pitching our app trying to get funds but on one sheet of paper i had on the side an idea that had
been cooking in my head regarding the reward platform's cool and all and we're doing very well
but what if we could create a digital currency for the entire community and it was just simply
words on a piece of paper a little word document i
believe nick at the time um and every big boy that came to our table kept pointing to that one paper
kept pointing to that one paper and safe to say when we got back to san diego um we put every
dollar we had into getting the best token on the sky the best the best of the best of the best of the best so this could become actually what it could be and yeah nick do you have anything bad before i continue
no you're doing great uh yeah i i can uh i actually have a question
oh i apologize you guys were cutting out a little bit. So I was going to help you guys with the next. I had a question before you guys go to the next part of it.
So you guys have had a successful business in Web 2 outside of Web 3. We understand, you know, y'all's love and passion behind collecting trading cards and being in that industry. And you guys have obviously built a reputation in Web2 and business,
as well as in the sports and trading card industry.
So I would say share with everybody what made you guys really push to come
into crypto and also how your time has been here since you guys have been
joining crypto.
Yeah.
Me and Nick have always dabbled in up dabbled in crypto it's not like that we just
haven't been like a daily part of community like something on on x or on discord or something like
that but um i mean i was an original shiba inu buyer back in the day so it's not like i haven't
been aware of crypto i just had this this changed. And very simply, the sports and trading card
industry is a very unique, let's just talk business-wise, okay? I'll get right to it.
We all want to make money at the end of the day. So I'm just going to hit it right on the head.
When you go to different events, sports and trading card industry-wise, there are high fees
that you have to pay, whether you're paying with a credit card or using paypal or whatever it may be
there's fees that equate to two three four five upwards of more percentage that you have to pay
to get these transactions done um same things with big companies like psa or ebay who at the
end of the at the end of the month there there there's there's credit card bills, right? And I had the idea of creating some – I like the analogy.
Nick, you'll like this one.
If you look at owners – so we have a small transaction fee.
It's obviously very small.
We charge 0.5% when a lot of other coins and tokens charge a whole lot more.
That half a percent sounds like absolutely nothing.
But if you look at the sports and trading card industry as a whole, monetization-wise,
it is an absolute goldmine kingpin of a sector.
And what I mean by that is if you look at how many owners of a vehicle there are,
you're probably looking at three or four.
Same thing with a house. Clothing, maybe seven or eight owners of one vehicle there are you're probably looking at three or four same thing with a house
clothing maybe seven or eight owners of one article of clothing you look at one one trading card let
alone there's billions and trillions of them can be sold at one card show seven eight nine ten times
just in an hour so the the utility of this token just on a transactional value is absolutely insane.
Nick, I know you can attest to that because you go to many, many card shows with your kids and stuff.
Yeah, I mean, I think there's two big, massive plays here.
It's the value of the token in the industry because it is hard to move money
when you do you get paypal numbers that are very low a zelle number and so what ends up happening
is people end up paying here waiting a few days pay the rest on large amounts well this is just a
safer easier way of doing it so all the high high end transactions would love this. And even on the low
end, which is what Dave's talking about, it happens millions of times a year. And it's a
billion dollar industry. So you kind of get the best of both worlds. You get the high end, but you
also get the low end transaction volume. And if anyone's curious, they can go into eBay and it's
the number one sector on eBay and eBay is massive.
So just things like that kind of shows all around the country slash world that this is happening already.
Yep.
Maxie, was there anything else I needed to answer?
No, that's actually, I wanted you guys to share.
I'm trying, I'm over here we got requests
and x is being a little funny so i can't see speakers up here um so i was checking that out
transactional transactions transactions transactions like i said one sports car
could be owned by 462 people by year three it just transactions are you getting the rewards from
um in return is making these transactions
using gmt token and so um i totally guys already have a vault just sorry maxi real quick you guys
already have a vault full of sports cards and memorabilia and things like all that already yeah
not necessarily full we do have our own personal collection but that that's actually a big part of
the fractional we're creating a vault to back the value of collection, but that's actually a big part of the fractional.
We're creating a vault to back the value of the token.
So it's not just the value of the token itself, but we have a dedicated percentage of everything raised that we are buying high end cards to give access to people to have.
Me, David Weinstein, I can't afford a 12 million dollar Mickey Mantle card.
Right. But what if I could afford 25K for a fractionalized share of that, right?
Knowing that those cards are only going to go up in value, right?
The Pokemon Charizards, the Mickey Mantles, the Hank Aarons.
We are creating pretty much a sports card vault that unlike other vaults now where it's just about buy and sell and buy and sell and buy and sell,
this vault is a fractionalized version of that to where hey the people that can
only afford a thousand or five thousand um we're going to open up a whole new avenue for people to
invest in sports and training cards but the awesome part is it's only if you own gmt that's
that's the key yeah that's huge um essentially these guys are creating creating real world assets, RWAs, which again are my favorite part of Web3 and crypto.
And also the currency, you know, being able to earn back on your purchases used with GMT token.
And it's up to 5%.
Talk a little bit about the percentages as well as I know that you guys said specifically when it comes to sports and trading card purchases, it's up to 5% back.
And for other purchases made, I believe it's 1%.
If you guys want to talk a little bit about that, that would be awesome.
Of course.
Yeah, just launching the GM Mint Club, which is our loyalty reward program for the sports and training card industry and dealing with rewards and the feedback of we're actually not set.
Sometimes we're almost too good to be true when we would go to car shows and people are like, what do you mean you're not selling anything?
The rewards, it's so interesting to mean in the sector.
And that's why I was very excited to maneuver into the crypto industry
with this. But yeah, crypto wise, in order to yield rewards like you would with a credit card
or anything similar, you have to lock your tokens up and stake them, right? And it almost,
I don't want to say defeats the purpose of owning cryptocurrency, but it kind of does, right? The
entire purpose of having crypto is having access to your funds when you want it when you need it
with no issues having to call a bank so like i get it you have to lock something up to yield
rewards but like i said now you don't have access to to the one currency that you you
had for that specific reason to have access to whenever you wanted it. So there had to be, it's difficult to do that on a massive universal scale.
But the awesome thing is we have patents and trademarks going on to where we can take this in other sectors.
So this is just the beginning of what could become something really awesome.
But yeah, the percentages, how they work is I wanted, when I came to Nick with this idea,
I wanted a base percentage for just any transaction wallet to wallet.
We have a cap. There's KYC's. It's max $100 wallet to wallet. So we're not going to we have about seven, seven to eight years of community rewards set up.
So like this is a utility token. This is not obviously we can have
a lot of fun in different ways and avenues, but this is 35 percent of our entire token supply.
Ten billion tokens is set aside over the next seven years to have that community reward.
And after that's done, our half a percent that we've taken over time by that time will carry us
on over the next decade, two decades.
Who knows what happens in life at that point, right?
But percentage-wise, it's 1% on any wallet-to-wallet transaction per month.
After that, it's dealt with via our partners. For example, Nick and I, when we created this token, because we had so many connections in the sports and trading
car industry, we kind of did everything ass backwards.
And what I mean by that is once you have everything built, you tend to go for the partnerships
and the marketing avenues.
We already had all those locked in prior to having it built.
So we have from large sports breaking companies to card grading companies to cleaning companies to card shops to card shows, we have everything locked in that pretty much, aside from the 1% on every wallet wallets transaction, you can get 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% back based off the amount that is sent to a partnered establishment.
off the amount that is sent to a partnered establishment. So for example, BLEZ, it's a
very large, well-known sports breaking card company. They have one specific wallet. So
whatever is sent to their specific wallet, based off the amount that is purchased via them,
will get 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5%. Same thing applies to any partnered establishment's wallet.
Specific wallets will yield higher rewards. Any other wallet to wallet transaction
will yield 1% back.
Amazing.
And I don't think people understand actually
how many transactions take place.
Like you guys said,
a card could have 10, 12, 15 owners,
whereas a house may have three or four.
That's not just cards that people are buying that
are valued like super high. A lot of people buy cards just to complete sets like within Pokemon.
People buy cards based on they, you know, they're a huge 49ers fan and they're buying, they want,
you know, every Ricky Purcell piece. Like it's really comes down to being a collector. And then
there's also the side that they want to invest based on assets like price appreciation.
Right. So there's so many different people within the trading card industry who are actually making these transactions all the time.
And so that's why I understand completely how you guys are saying, you know, there's typically a gold mine because it's not just people, you know, making transactions based on like just, again,
investing in high asset pieces. And one of the things, the entire point of crypto is to be able
to use your decentralized currency. So I think it's really cool that you guys are rewarding
an industry that you guys have a lot of experience in
and ultimately looking to partner with some big names and potentially some athletes and things
like that. Are you guys planning on doing events where you guys will be putting, you know, maybe a
GMT booth up, educating people on it, getting more people onboarded, anything like that going on?
booth up, educating people on it, getting more people onboarded, anything like that going on?
Correct. Yes. We do for our reward app, we do card shows, a lot of them in San Diego,
just because that's what we're based out of. But we can do instead of just one booth,
we'll have split booths to where the actual reward set thing will be there. And then the
crypto side of it will be on the other side. We'll be doing a lot of bounty drops, I believe it's called, to wear at different card shows.
We'll be giving away X amount.
There's a lot of different stuff we do with different card events and stuff like that from scavenger hunts and other giveaways.
So it's going to be very, very easy to unquote.
Like I said, all we did prior to this was reward people, right?
So now we can just reward people on a higher level.
And guess what?
Maybe somebody that's into sports and trading cards isn't into crypto, but we can now not
only reward them with boxes of cards, but with free cryptos, we can bring people that
aren't even into the cryptocurrency space into cryptocurrency just based off this token.
So like I said, Nick and I have had the last three,
four years to get so many connections and build our, our database and our Rolodex in the sports
and trading current industry. The last key component was to be quite frank with you,
Keith, and from what it seems your guys' community. So.
No, I love that. The idea of scavenger hunts and bounties.
There's a lot of platforms and different projects on here
who actually do bounties.
And it's kind of hard to get into them sometimes.
Sometimes the trading volume has to be insane.
And sometimes the rewards aren't worth it.
But I love the idea behind bounties and scavenger hunts
on blockchain as well, as well as IRL stuff. Like I told you guys on
MySpace, I've done a lot of conventions, a lot of comic cons. And I like to see what the vendors
have going on. They have really cool stuff. And I think it is a great way to go and advertise and
market what you guys have going on by being on the floor, especially with the real collectors,
because there's for anyone here who hasn't really attended Comic-Cons
or conventions or card shows or anything in that nature,
there is a ton of collectors.
Almost every single person that attends these conventions are collectors.
Literally.
They collect something.
88%.
88% of every U.S. citizen.
It's probably higher outside of the States, to be quite frank with you.
But pretty much 9 out of 10 people you walk up to.
It might not be sports and trading cards.
Maybe it's stamps.
Maybe it's coins.
Maybe it's vintage clothes.
I don't know.
But 9 out of 10 people, 8.8 out of 10 people, collect some type of something.
So it's a massive industry
i know got the was saying that he has some sports card got these so what what do you think about uh
gmt token do you have any questions for them what are your what are some of the sports cards you have
um so i also did mention that i'm i'm getting into this right now. Like all of this is very brand new to me.
As a matter of fact,
I'm looking at the box right now.
What the fuck do I have?
I got a Allen Iverson.
What is this?
It's a rookie card.
Is it a rookie one?
Yeah.
Okay.
I got an Allen Iverson rookie.
96, 97. Oh, you don't want that. You don't want that. Okay. I got it. What is it? 96, 97?
Oh, you don't want that.
You don't want that.
96 Collector's Edge.
Just send it over to me.
I'll hold on to it for you.
I hate for you to have it in cases you don't know what they want.
I got a Kobe here, but this one's not like, it's not rated or anything.
be here but this one's not like it's not rated or anything um i'm gonna have to send this one
in pretty soon because i need to get that shit right you're you're gonna go down uh it's a fun
rabbit hole to go down once you really get into the whole grading process it's uh it's yeah you're
gonna enjoy yourself i'll tell you that much just real quick guys i'm gonna make it easy for the giveaway today so you guys just
stay up here on stage i want i want crypto crypto to come up here got tito we'll get crypto fight
club and um yeah i'll get you guys hooked up i've never spoken to andrew andrew real quick
what's going on just wanted to to say hello. I saw you up here.
He has a little Pepe with a little Mexican hat,
a little sombrero.
What kind of hat is that, Mexie?
Since you're Mexican.
It actually doesn't look like a Mexican hat.
I'm going to ignore what I want to say. It looks like it reminds me of the hat the guy's wearing on one piece um i don't know why you're being
prejudiced today keith yeah that's not a sombrero it looked like a like a straw hat
like a straw hat type of thing maybe not mexican he could probably pass off as like a weird cuban guy or something like that i don't know he's a cuban frog i guess anything like that
i only train with mexicans vexi i trained with the with the barrios and that but yeah he doesn't
know what's more of a mexican hat or not crazy work well andrew andrew seems to be engagement
farming a little bit we're gonna give him a little bit longer to say.
Yeah, he only had a couple followers.
I wasn't...
I love to kick him.
He's gone.
He's gone.
He's off the stage.
He's not, you know, you're not unmuting.
Sorry.
I love to kick people off the stage.
It's my favorite thing ever.
Crypto Bro is here, though.
So let's say what up to Crypto Bro.
How are you doing?
Do you want to get in on some of this sports card trading card conversation going on?
You got any dope Pokemon pieces you're hiding under your couch?
Yo, fam.
What's up?
I do, actually.
And I was in the last space and I was trying to get up.
Matt was crazy.
I wanted to ask him some questions because I'm an old school baseball card collector.
Anyone that knows me, I'm a coach.
I coach 15 years.
I've played baseball my whole life. And all growing up like that's what we did dude we went up
we'd sold golf balls we'd go in the ponds we'd get all the golf balls out of the golf course get
you know run away from the golfers and then we'd go sell them back to the golfers take all that
money go buy baseball cards and just go rip packs at the river and just chew bubble gum and like that was basically my whole childhood so all these cards were supposed to get
me into my retirement and shit dude and like man they all ended up being worth nothing basically
and then so all the all the cards you get now all these chromes so flash forward to now i run a
baseball camp and stuff and one of my sponsors he's an old retired professional baseball player
and he said he's got some he's got millions of baseball cards so he brings them in i get i get
like a tote full of cards and they're mixed with like pokemon and and all this stuff and i just
give them to the kids man i don't look at the price or nothing i just i hand them over i know
i've probably given like a lot of money away but like that's why he gives them to me because his grandkid was like
grandpa you know those are worth money he's like yeah he's he's giving them to kids though so
what i'm getting at here is i would love to like cross connect with you on the back end a little
bit and see if there's some way to like possibly use some of the cards i get donated to me to help
kind of fund my camps as well and maybe try to do that through you or i don't know something like
that man so yeah that's all i wanted to interject but i love baseball cards dude i had i think mexy i heard you talking
about one of yours that got stolen i had i had some back in the day man that were like you know
the griffy rookie upper deck all these really cool cards like the nolan ryan triple and man they all
got stolen out of my house and pretty much probably from a friend because only friends knew where they
were but yeah i felt that one and i got some pokemon stories that'll make you cry we're not
going to tell those today because i don't want to make my wife feel bad but let's just say my
old son started collecting first gen and uh the wife didn't really understand the value so we
don't talk about that but maybe someday that's a story we can tell it's almost worse than swear
words to be honest i can't really like my grandma used to take them because she said they were the devil my pokemon cards were the devil
i didn't understand it god bless my grandma um i i i want to go through her house and be like i
know you got them hidden because she's also not like she doesn't waste she's a little hoarder so
i'm you know i'm gonna go through her house one
day and I'm gonna see all of these mints of first edition Pokemon cards and I'm gonna take those
back with my Yu-Gi-Oh all of it and it's it's gonna be glorious I can feel it um but I think
that's awesome that you use the cards to help fund some of the baseball camps and stuff like that
um I we have a bunch of baseball
cards that haven't even, they're like perfect. They look straight out of the packaging. They're
in these boxes. I have like probably four boxes of them that we haven't even gotten graded or
looked at. I don't even know what's in there. Like I couldn't even tell you. They're just
full of them. And like that part is kind of exciting like to go through and maybe find something so
um these things are timeless right they're very timeless i mean i had a kid come back i gave one
away at the jamboree last year i gave a bunch of pokemon cards he came back told me i gave him a
500 card so i don't care to me that's worth it because that kid that family's never going to
really forget that you know so but yeah like But yeah, like the Japanese, the legendaries, like whatever.
I'm just like, here, take your pick.
You earned it today.
And I'll tell you what, it's a lot better than yelling at them on the field.
You get way more done out of these guys when you just bribe them with cards, man.
They love it.
They eat it up.
And yeah, it goes a long way.
It's basically cash in Little League these days.
Cards in the Little League community is absolutely massive it's it's it's
nuts i before i forget though one thing i did want to bring up to everybody in this room
or spaces or whatever it's called um a big key component of why the sports and trading card
industry is so valuable right now and why investment wise monetization wise you can
always and that that's why this token is going to be something very special it's it's because of
what's called serialization back in the day in 96 97 back when we were having mark mcguire cards
right they just mass produce millions and millions and millions of them, right? So the
value, everybody had them, even graded 10 ones, everybody had them. But what they started doing
in the early 2000s, and it's massive now, I mean, it runs the industry now is serialization. So
they take the same, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with it, a lot of you aren't, but they
take that same base rookie card and they just same image
same name same number and they just change the background color of it and make it gold and
number it to 50 which means they only made 50 of those in the world then they'll do the same thing
with a different color make it an orange color same exact card just change the background color
number it to 25 in the world at or out of 25 in the world and they do this
from out of 250 to out of 150 to out of 50 to out of 10 to to where there's actually i'm sure a lot
of you have heard the biggest card sales are what's called one-on-ones to where that is the
only one in existence of that card simply because of the color change on the back. So serialization did not exist back when Allen Iverson had his rookie cards
and Mark McGuire had his rookie cards, right?
Like I said, they just printed and printed and printed,
which at the end of the day, everybody had the same stuff.
So, yeah, serialization altered, altered a successful industry,
a successful industry,
but it made it what it is now.
but it made it what it is now.
Yeah, all this is back today.
Go ahead.
I can't even see who's speaking
because X is being weird.
Is that you, Crypto Whales?
Crypto Fight Club.
No, it's funny.
All this is...
Sorry, I got it. Oh, shit uh all this is super nostalgic to me but i i i actually i do
have a question about the token but uh before i do that who was it that was mentioning that
ken griffey jr rookie card crit bro dude that was that was how i started my card collecting
which it actually ended and it ends in a pretty funny story.
But my first pack of baseball cards that I ever bought, I go up to the shelf, and I look at the box,
and on the box, it has some examples of cards that you might get or whatever.
And it was that Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card, and I bought my first pack.
I opened it up, and that was like the third card in
the deck. And I was like, hell yeah, let's go. Put me down a rabbit hole. I was a huge Jose
Canseco fan at the time because he was blown up. So this is like years ago. Huge Jose Canseco fan
and I spent so much of my lawn mowing money collecting every single Jose Canseco card that
I could possibly get my hands on i had a big
binder of like uh 40 or 50 jose canseco cards it was everyone that came out uh up to that point
and then he had that huge like where that that dude hit that homer off of his head and then
and then he disappeared didn't he he had like a big boy card with bo jackson i believe him and
bo jackson had a card together dude i got a little i got a little story for that card actually that
was 1989 upper deck that well that one specifically that was the first year they offered it and that
year they didn't have they pulled him into the pros so quick that year because where i grew up
dude it's you know i'm seattle dude so like gr's God here Griffey and Ichiro there's a few people they're God here they always will be
so anyways they pulled him out of the minors so quick it was kind of later they pulled him into
the pros and they didn't have time to get his picture and they knew he was going to be big
they wanted to get him on the card they had to get it was it was Upper Deck's first year they
were going into production and they were jumping on that wagon.
And so they basically, what they did is they took his minor league picture.
A lot of people still don't know this, but that 89 Upper Deck card is actually his minor league photo.
They took it, they imposed it, they did a little bit of work with it, and they actually put it on that card.
So that wasn't taken for the pros.
He was actually still a semi-pro at
that time pretty interesting story anyways i had to interject that because that's the car that
started it all for me too man that was the one we had to get and it's basically worth the same
amount now as it was then so good story i i remember looking at it and i was like because
back in the day it wasn't you couldn't find all this stuff online. So they had those books that you could look up the value, the probable value.
Back it.
Yeah.
And I looked at it one time, and I was like, man, this thing's worth like $2.57.
Let's go.
Scrolling through 46 pages to find 25 cents right there.
Bro, that was half the fun though man
oh well um but but just just honing back in on on the token and stuff it's transit
even if you don't collect sports and trading cards let's be real we we made this accessible
for granted it's capped at a hundred dollars a, but you can literally yield transactional rewards for, you could
said Bob Jones $100, and I'm not going to lie, it's not, right, we're offering a way
for people to get involved with this token without collecting sports and trading cards,
but the people that do collect yield the highest amount of rewards.
So we made sure we set this up to where we're hitting everybody.
Okay, that brings me to a question, actually.
So who was it?
How did you get?
I assume this is like a custom contract then,
or how is this launched?
Who built it, that sort of thing?
I, about two months before I was launching the Gem Mint Club app, I met Nick.
I believe it was, Nick, what, about three years ago, four years ago?
Yeah, I would say three and a half, yeah.
We launched the app together.
He's been a key component, my right-hand man.
And then one day I came to him with some idea right before we were going to the TechCrunch event.
And it was about, it had always been an idea in my head, but I never put it on paper.
And I finally put it on paper.
And we just brought the one paper with us to the event.
And that was that.
Nick, I mean, Nick, I'm sure you knew it was a great idea
from from day one i mean hence why we brought it with us right yeah i think his question is more
like who designed on uh the code oh as far as far as dev team for the token yeah yeah the contract
yeah yeah so i have a close friend of mine from the Bay Area. Well, he lives in San Diego now.
His name is Cameron Bailey.
He is a brilliant developer.
And while we were getting this all created and designed with the tokenomics, I ran into him.
Hadn't seen him in years.
And God works in his ways.
And whether you believe that or not, it's true.
And the reason I ran into him that day was simply because he was meant to be a part of this project. So God has his hand in this thing, too, as well.
But he's he got it done.
Gosh.
A couple of months, Nick.
Yeah.
Yeah, it probably took three months or so.
Yep.
But he's been doing this for a long time.
Oh, God.
More so on the developer side.
He got his back.
I forget where he went to college, but he's brilliant.
Like I said, more so on the website, apps, things like that,
but he's deep, deep into crypto. So when I told him about this project, it overlapped exactly
both of his passions. So he's like, I'm on board. Just tell me when to start. And yeah,
he got it done very quickly. We spent pretty much the last 37 grand of our company money on the best tokenomics guy.
I'm sure a couple of you or hopefully a lot of you have seen the tokenomics on our page.
It's in-depth. It's detailed. It's masterful.
And that's because we hired the best of the best of the best.
The fractionalization of shares of cards was actually this gentleman's idea um who has a
has a board seat uh there's so many moving parts that have came into play real quick i just want
everyone to to check out the two pin tweets up at the top max engage if you're up here on stage
so i can make it easy so i can pick some winners. So I think we're, you guys said four different winners?
Four different winners.
We'll do 15,000 in chips three times, and then we'll do a grand prize of 25K chips.
All right, so we'll make it easy on everyone.
Just max engage with those two tweets up at the top and comment.
Make sure you comment and, yeah, just be up on stage,
and I'll pick the winners
in like 20 minutes or so but mexi we lost you for a second you're back
yeah the co-host uh is making me blank out anytime i try to accept it it's being a little weird
um but i'm here and ironically i can see all the speakers now that i'm not co-host anymore. I see we have Wales up here who I
thought was speaking a while ago and I think I saw that he has commented a few places that
he's into trading cards as well. How's it going Wales?
Crypto Wales is my favorite part of the show
is when I'm like hype someone up
I call them out and then they don't say
anything I love it
I just love it it's so
like gratifying it makes me feel so good
you know
my favorite's when Keith does it too
it really keeps the party
going and it keeps you know I was enjoying the little silence for a second My favorite's when Keith does it too It really keeps the party going I'm not doing that
I was enjoying the little silence
For a second
Yeah I don't like silence
I like silence when I'm alone
We can get really into that Maxi
I know your personality trust me
Just take it easy
Oh now he wants to raise his hand
You don't have to raise your hand
I definitely called on you to come up here and say hello. You don't have to raise your hand. I definitely called on you to come up here and say hello.
So you don't have to raise your hand.
You can just unmute, push the little button, and say, hey, what up?
Yeah.
All right, Jam, Jam, everyone.
Jam and FTK.
Jam, Jam. Yeah. I love this piece so far, actually. German FT Kids Gem Gents
Yeah
I've loved this piece so far actually
I've actually been loving what
What
Gem is talking about
Yeah alright so I
Well I just came to say
It's my birthday today
Do anyone know how to
Sing a birthday song for me
i'm pretty sure i've seen you commenting about sports cards trading cards maybe you're just
really good at staying engaged with the timeline maybe you were just baiting us a little bit i was
just telling you hello i saw you were up here um no singing going on today if that's what you were just baiting us a little bit. I was just telling you hello. I saw you were up here.
No singing going on today, if that's what you were talking about.
Definitely not singing up here.
I don't know.
Maybe Keith will sing a jingle or two by the end of the space.
I can't make any promises.
But stick around.
I wish I was a singer.
I wish I had that talent.
Yeah, he definitely isn't a good singer.
Anybody can sing but you
know we're talking about singing in general but um anyways we'll keep it moving we're talking about
gmt token today sports and trading cards currencies something else you brought up that i could bring
up maybe uh obviously there's stepping stones in every
project and this is not what we're launching right this second but Nick and I have many many
things in play that are going to be launched via this token but aside from obviously the day-to-day
utility of this token because of the sports and trading card industry, as well as the community we've already built.
We had mentioned that we have some athletes involved, some things like that, that what
we want this token to become is actually the currency for athletes as well, too.
So I'm an ex-soccer player from the age of three to 20.
Then I tore my PCL, wasn't able to go to Germany.
So sports has been prevalent in my life since at a young age, three years old.
But being able to, for example, Odell Beckham took his entire salary in Bitcoin.
Entire salary, not 10%, 20%, which most agents ask them to do, but the entire thing so as we grow our athlete partnership and we can we can take this to
actually becoming not just a token for day-to-day transactions for the sports and trading card
industry but the currency for athletes to take just as odell did so there's a lot of things we
have in play obviously that's not happening right now But there's speaking of athletes and things like that
Yeah, and this is just our first week. We wanted to kind of push it. We did kind of three different spaces all this week
We were guests on Mexi space. Mexi. I actually I didn't compliment you
I don't compliment you enough, but that was a really good space and
You're a really good speaker and you're doing really good with that.
And whatever I can do to kind of support you, even if I have to support the next space with Brett Gold and pay you some Solana to be featured.
But you did a really good job. And I think that we're kind of needed with people like you that have real personality that actually are smart with the industry as well.
I agree with that.
I appreciate that.
You articulate your words very well.
Yeah.
I appreciate that.
I've, you know, really quickly,
I enjoy being able to learn and educate people at the same time.
And, you know, also conversing about things that I am knowledgeable in or you know I'm wanting
to be knowledgeable in so it's all really exciting for me and I like to talk so I love to host
different personalities have a good time and in this space you know it's you got to just stay
authentic to you and I think that's what you guys are doing really well because people will come in
here and say you can make money one of 10 different ways right but if you're coming what's really like even Gary V talks about this is doing what you're
passionate about doing something that you like and I think that's a great segue to saying for
anyone here who is not investing yet or is not collecting I think Nick said or it might have
been David I'm maybe I'm getting all confused The best way to start is by collecting things that you like. Am I right? Is that, is that what
tip you would give everybody here today who maybe doesn't have any cards yet? I think Nick said that,
but you said, there's one word that I love that you said, and Nick knows I ask everybody this,
if I know them or I don't, and if I'm a little intoxicated, I'll ask you right to your face.
What's your passion?
And that can mean outside things of the collectible industry,
but it's a big segue of why I say that is to understand what type of collectible
that they're passionate about, right?
But passion runs the world, whether it's cards, whether it's a collectible,
whether it's your wife, whether it's your kid.
What you're passionate about will ultimately run your world.
And the starting of that is, like Nick said, collect what you like.
Honest question.
Who here has spent more than like three minutes just interacting
and flipping the little fidget coin on your guys' pre-sale website.
That's awesome.
I do it when I'm a little stressed or frustrated.
Just on a personal level, just to get personal with everybody,
it's almost ironic when I designed the Gem Mint Club and the logo for it. I designed it
because in the middle is the perfect 10, right? And you could go left or right, whether it's graded
an eight or that. But that's kind of what it was designed for, not knowing that the token and the
cryptocurrency was going to be coming a couple years later right but if you actually look
at the emblem and the logo I mean it is it looks like it was specifically designed to be a coin so
it was it was a fun little transition going into cryptocurrency when it was perfectly orchestrated well said yeah yeah I was gonna say actually just in case some of the collection doesn't understand
G E M T but that means meant means 10 and in the industry of collecting and when you grade it with
PSA a 10 is the best you can get so that that's where that name comes from, and that's the meaning behind
it, is the gem mint is the best you
can get in the
classical space.
I love puns.
They're my favorite.
I like that.
See, that's a little nugget. That's a nugget
about the project. That's pretty cool i like that
and people do really love stuff like that when there's thought exactly when there's thought put
into it when it connects to the actual you know passion behind the project and um little little
i guess you would say easter eggs you know, little Easter eggs in there. It makes it really come together.
And I didn't even know that.
And I am somebody that wants a gym 10 PSA.
So it didn't even click for me.
So I think that's really cool.
Yeah, I was actually curious about the logo.
That makes sense.
You know, some people, like, they just type a thing in a thing and be like, hey, make me a logo.
But that actually makes sense. That's cool.
Yeah, pretty much having that diamond, that emerald as the centerpiece of a perfect 10.
And it could be graded less, higher, really dependent.
But the biggest thing is, like I said, when we transitioned to really going full blown into the token coin side of it you go look
at the logo it's almost like it was designed to be just that in the beginning so boom i picked all
the winners done nice appreciate you keith amazing i want to ask you guys a couple questions a little fun questions I want some alpha for
myself if I was looking actually before I ask this one wait pause I know you guys said sports
and trading cards I know you guys have mentioned like if you were to purchase a tennis racket
things like that do y'all plan on adding things like um for just the collectors in general people who maybe maybe collect what's the game the card
game that everybody plays it's like oh my goodness not Dungeons and Dragons it's something
magic yes magic so yeah yeah so trading cards is already anything sports or trading cards is involved right now.
And we are going to branch out as we grow into other things.
Like I said, there are some patents and some trademarks going on to where we could take this many different avenues.
But yes, as of now, Magic is fine.
Any trading cards are good, too, not just sports cards.
Yeah, it was definitely.
I know that some people, they try to come out with other pieces. is fine poke any trading cards are good too not just sports cards yeah it was definitely um i i
know that some people they try to come out with other pieces like one piece came out with some
um other collectibles and then there's funko's and things like that so it's cool to know that
you guys will expand into that and what i was actually gonna ask was um i always like to ask
people this like i'm curious people at trading card shows and stuff like that what are some pieces that you think
will um if you were going to collect pieces right now uh in sports let's do sports what do you think
would be good players to be collecting right now at this point that could price appreciate and value
over the next let's say one to three years uh basketball anthony edwards yeah i got one basketball Anthony Edwards Edwards is a good one
Wimby's a good one
Shea's a good one
people that you think will win championships
is just kind of the
Nick you there
he might have got a call
that's what happens when you're on stage.
If you get a call, it'll break you out.
Maxie, I like that question, but to be quite frank with you,
it's very long-term.
There's names that you just, like Nick said, diamond hands,
you just buy and you don't even look at in pocket.
But it's very seasonal.
It's like based off when baseball starts or basketball
starts it's so it's hard it's there's athletes like i said that you pocket and you don't look
at for the next three to five years but it's also an industry and sector to where you can make a ton
of money if you know your your seasons so um that's just on the sports and trading card side of it. And then yielding
transaction. We're very excited about the transactional reward side of this. Like I said,
prior to GEMT, the only way to yield rewards was from locking your shit up, right? Having no access
to it. So we're very, very, very very this is something that will have a snowball
effect especially in the industry we're in to where once people realize that transactional
rewards can occur in an industry to where it this thing is going to take off very quickly even if
you do not collect you are the one of the 10 that do not collect anything whatsoever. Understood. But
there's an industry that does that's not you. So if you want to make money, it is what it is. So
just have to say that too. No, of course. I like to ask that because some people are more speculative
due to injuries among athletes. You know, people like for example patrick mahomes his cards are
worth a lot of value two years ago and since have gone down just based on his past couple
seasons alone not being super successful and it is seasonal based um but then there are some pieces
that are again timeless that can always be valuable because they're hall of famers or things
of that nature um and also that does go hand in hand with if you're buying a piece right now,
that's maybe 20 bucks.
And then by the time, you know, the next over year,
maybe you have a $200, $2,000 piece.
That's a transaction that you're going to earn more rewards on
strictly because of the value.
You know, you're getting 5% back on that piece.
So that'd be a fun question to ask.
And obviously, why not use this currency to earn reward back versus using, you know, fiat?
All of us are here in crypto anyways for that purpose.
So yeah, I think it all, it's an ecosystem that makes sense.
While I am more excited about the RWA side of it, I do see the need for the currency
and the actual benefit for using it
and next they're long term and trustworthy because i'm literally going to go see my friend shea
next weekend in san diego meet them and um they're they have months planned of this marketing and
things they're doing with this so yeah it's good to hear, you know. Yeah, like we had mentioned prior, passion is everything.
And we can launch a token, a coin, have a cool idea, get a good community and make money.
But if there's no passion behind it and no longevity that's designed to be created for it, it's just like everything else, right?
So this is very
different than that and it's different than that like i said for many ways but transactionally
it's a kingpin it's a kingpin it will always be a kingpin it's never not going to be a kingpin
and especially with nick can attest to this with him and his son are at the perfect age for this but how me and nick felt
as as kids it's now the industry that's almost taking over it's i don't have any children yet
unfortunately god willing one day i will but it's it's an industry to where the adults are
connecting with the kids on a very intimate level that's almost unexplainable. So it's cool to see.
I think not only that, but, like, the people that this is nostalgia for,
now we got money.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
But before we go to the card shop and we get one pack from our parents, right? Now it's... a little refuel real quick
who so uh who are the winners who are the winners by the way this is my first time on
where do i see uh okay the winners are y3x144 realm gatoato, Gatito, Coz, and Crypto Fight Club.
Well, let's go.
Let's go.
It pays to participate.
I hope that encourages people to come up on stage more often,
be a part of the conversation.
I mean, even dropping questions in the comments,
you guys, we'll have to do one where maybe we get people to engage in the comments and drop some of
their cards they hold. And we do it, maybe we do that on the next space and do a little giveaway
with that. But it's definitely fun to be more engaged and be a part of the conversation. And
these guys had some great, you know, feedback, questions as well as input.
It kind of goes to show, again, like everyone's a collector in some way.
Maybe you've never collected in your life.
And the first time you've collected was joining crypto and collecting NFTs.
You know, it's essentially it's for everybody.
And so I love that.
I love that's what you guys are doing
it's been a great space today oh yeah is anyone up here that i can't see i still show some listeners
but i don't think so the x has been so laggy today with me being able to see speakers but
ever since i stopped being co-host, I could see some people.
I know, I had to switch my phone and use the Cushling account because it kept kicking me out.
I had to reboot.
I was like, I'm not going to end this space, no.
So we made it.
You didn't know anything was going on in the background, but I was like, damn, what the fuck is trying to happen here?
Speaking of spaces and that type of forum and segments,
there's a, I don't know if any of you guys know,
an app called WhatNot.
It's the collectible kingpin of buying shit there live.
It's the volume they do.
Nick, what would you say, man?
It's like TikTok.
It's like a TikTok for collectors.
But buying and selling stuff all day long.
I mean, they probably...
Nick, do you think they do upwards of 5-10 mil a day in sales?
Easily, right?
Oh, I don't think Nick's up here.
I don't think Nick's up here. I don't think Nick's up here.
I see him.
He might have got a car or something.
Yeah, he's not up here.
They easily have to do 10 mil plus a day.
I mean, it's absolutely unbelievable.
And we have some...
With this token, which is really, really cool because of the connections we made,
it just takes one of our partnerships to get fully engaged.
Like I said, we, we hadn't had the token ready yet,
so there was nothing to really begin, but let, let's just say,
whether it's whatnot or PSA or whoever it may be, Nick,
what do you think the volume of, of whatnot is?
Is he up here yeah yeah i see it says speaker but all right yeah i mean one one company i know does like a million a day. So it's like.
We could hear Nick.
I don't know if you're still there, but we could hear. Okay, sorry.
Yeah, it's all laggy.
Sorry.
What would you say, Nick, daily sales-wise on the whatnot?
Oh, like 20 million.
It's out of control.
Just hop in there and look at it.
It has some amazing um um i mean i
bought golf on there i've bought uh things for my kids for toys on there i bought a lot of sports
cars on there there's a lot of uh the bigger sellers are very reputable i would say i would
stay away from the smaller ones in general but bringing bringing that up the reason why i bring
it up is because all these connections and partnerships Nick and I have made, it just takes one of these to be activated till this is a snowball effect. And once people on
one platform, it's a very, very big industry, but it's a very small industry and loyal industry at
the same time too. And once people in the sector understand, hey, I spend 10, 15 grand a month on
cards buying and selling, and I don't get rewarded transactionally, and that can change just by using a cryptocurrency.
The snowball effect of this in an industry that's so transactional is what I'm really, really excited for, especially with companies like Whatnot and eBay and things like that.
I could not agree more. I think it's really exciting.
I like to use what not.
I watched the card breaks and like I think Crypto Fight Night said everybody has money
now like we're adults and we're able to buy this shit.
I've said a million times or they will make a way to find disposable income to collect what they want.
And so obviously 20 million a day,
like when Nick said that, I was like, there's no way.
It's probably more.
It's probably more.
It's insane.
That is insane.
And so I completely understand like the power of Jim Token
and actually being able to,
you guys are able to,
you guys are able to partner with some of these big names, which I don't doubt you guys have been reputable
in the space for a long time and now y'all are building here.
So I hope, you know, I'm looking forward to being able
to help get more people on board that are
in the trading card industry,
because I like to onboard people into crypto.
So for me, it's like,
if it's a simple process, now cryptos are accessible to everyone. It's like, of course,
people are going to, people who collect, they're going to want the rewards because they're going
to want more money to collect more. So that's really, you know, the goal is to get these people
to see how easy it is to onboard into crypto and be able to use this
token and why you would use it over that. And you guys have a huge advantage with that. So
really exciting and being early is important to me. So anyone who is here now is early.
I would definitely look into, you know, maybe RWAs, guys, like anyone here who is interested in those.
Maybe you're not a collector, but you're somebody who likes to invest in crypto in general or RWAs.
That's what these guys have on their roadmap is to create RWA pieces.
So there's really something for everybody here.
And I think that's what makes it exciting is that you guys are kind of trying to hit every angle here with what you guys are doing. And it is something that y'all are building long term. There's longevity here and legitimacy. So I am really excited to be hosting some more spaces with y'all and talk about more of that that's going on um and maybe we'll get some athletes on here too i've done some really cool interviews
with athletes um and actors and musicians over my last what 15 years and it's really exciting to do
and i'm really excited to see more of those people on board here into web3 and so maybe
maybe you know jim token is the one that doesn't maybe you guys are the one that get these guys on board. Never know.
I got a couple things.
I got a couple things in the chamber.
Keenan Allen of the Chargers.
Some other.
I got a.
Yeah.
We'll see what happens.
But I got a couple things lined up.
Next to where we can ever.
I thought I was going to get Dave.
I thought I was going to get him.
I thought I was going to get him to squeal and name Ricky Purcell.
Oh, I wish.
That's me and Nick's boy.
We're dire Niner fans.
I'm not a Niners fan.
Shout out to my friend Pink out there.
My bestie, her man, is a Niners fan.
I feel unfortunate for all the Niners fans out there.
I'll have y'all's time.
You know, CMC.
I'm not going to start. We could do another space where we
roast each other for being
shitty fans or shitty teams.
Not today.
You're doing great though.
Alright, that's it.
We picked our winners. We did the space.
