Hello, hello.

I appreciate you being here on your Saturday morning
And yeah, let's get gnarly today
I'm under pressure, underpaid and working overtime.
I mix the pleasure with the pain.
I make it rain tonight.
Ooh, no one said it would be easy.
Ooh, even if you don't believe me, even on my darkest days.
I can knock down, but I just keep my head up high

Oh, high, high, high
Keeping my head up high
Keeping my head up high
Keeping my head up high I got a headache and a heartache, but it's summertime.

For the legend, whoo-hoo!
My brother, the history, make-em!
What's up, everyone?
Happy Saturday.
Welcome to another wonderful day.
There is only now, remember that.
The sun is shining here on the coast.
It's always a great day in Oregon when that is happening. We get tons of rain up here.
So I'm very, very excited today with our very special guest, Feline Fiends.
And I'm really excited to learn more about the project and get to know your motivations and the things that we talk about on this space of what drives us and why do we get up and do what we do.
So a couple of things here real quick, of course.
Let me just do this disclaimer to cover our ass by participating in this public forum hosted by NARS Fuck Dow, NARS Fuck Ventures.
You acknowledge that we are not providing financial advice in any of our presentations, comments, remarks, or anything that we say.
You acknowledge that it's your responsibility to do your own research and seek independent advice with respect to any of the projects, NFTs, tokens, anything that we talk about in here.
So it's an open discussion. I definitely want to encourage if you have questions and as we're going through, just request, jump up.
Well, that's what we're here for is to learn about our whys and really it's getting down to that core motivation.
So I want to go ahead and introduce my amazing co-host, Crypto Medic.
my amazing co-host, CryptoMedic.
GM, GM, brother.
Good to be here.
Glad to see everybody on a Saturday morning,
cooking out here in the desert,
just frying like a fish in a pan.
Happy to see what we're going to get into today.
I know at some point, I think we got a mention
and get into talking about this AI Bill of Rights,
which kind of threw me
off my rocker when I started looking at what was going on.
So some really cool stuff to talk about today.
Glad to be here.
Definitely.
Definitely.
So and I would like to welcome our special guest, Feline Fiends.
Go ahead and introduce yourself.
Let us know who's behind that PFP today.
Hey, good morning, y'all.
This is Lord vader community manager
behind the account right here thanks for having us uh hey so you said uh in the desert where
abouts i'm in arizona and it's definitely hot yep that's where i am so uh you know pain for sure
i grew up in tempe yeah it's small world right i'm in Tucson. Yeah, I got lots of friends down there.
I've done a lot of work.
Cannabis is my background, so I've done a ton of stuff all over the state.
I love it.
It still holds a very special place in my heart.
Small world, yeah.
Also, question, that Gnarly song, was that someone from the community,
or was that the team that did y'all make that song?
That is Crypto Medic finding that banger i am not sure how he came across it but yeah it is perfect
yeah it suits it it suits you well so okay i was just curious also uh shout out to moon knight
in the audience he's got that giveaway up at the top there so if y'all just make sure you like and retweet that it'll probably get some more people in this room
so alright
let's go ahead and dive in
we're blockchain focused
a lot of stuff happening here with AI
I want to find a bit about more about the project of stuff happening here with AI this week.
I want to find a bit more about the project and just get an idea.
So before we dive into that, if you can help us understand kind of like what led you to the blockchain, what led you to the project itself, what resonates with you.
Just want to get, uh, an idea of, of you.
Okay, for sure. Yeah. So, um, I started crypto in about 2016, uh, 15, 16, uh, just heavily into
coins. And then, you know, I got on Twitter and then I started seeing these animal pictures
all over the place. And then I told myself, you know, I, I Twitter and then I started seeing these animal pictures all over the place.
And then I told myself, you know, I wasn't really going to get into it.
It wasn't really for me.
And then I just kind of slowly started getting into it more.
I think the first project I ever invested into was Mutant Apes Kids Club or something like that.
It was something like that.
But anyway, and I thought it was like it's going to be the next M-A-Y-C or something like that. It was something like that. But anyway, and I thought it was like, it's going to be the next MAYC or something like
Yeah, they didn't do so hot.
But anyway, and then I started looking at other projects.
And then I saw Gary Vee actually made a tweet about feline fiends in the comment section.
And that's kind of what got me going.
And then from there, you know, I joined the Discord.
I was a whale in the Discord.
And I just started, like, posting out all these raids and stuff like that.
And someone in the community, I believe, just mentioned, you know,
when Lord Vader, a team member or something.
And then Bolivian, one of the founders, he brought me on.
And ever since then, I've just been diehard fiends the whole way.
So I started in basically a week after the Mint.
So March of last year, that's how long we've been around for.
So we think of ourselves as OGss in this in this in this space but
yeah that pretty much sums up uh me but uh yeah i'm all i'm all fiends uh everything everything
i i do or you know whenever i have free time it's it's all spent on fiends that's amazing man
that's so amazing i'm just finding what you resonate with and it's the community. It's the people that are
in there. What was it about your interaction and what really resonated with you to know that that
was where you wanted to jump in? So I really liked the OG walking stance art. That's what
caught my eye. It just kind of gave me this old school kind of vibes to it like tom and jerry type of vibes and you know i grew up on tom and
jerry when i was a kid and the discord was just really it was it felt like home you know everyone
was in there and we were all talking like all day long and at one point it was so crazy you
couldn't even see yourself tight.
Like that was the hype behind it, especially after that, like Gary V tweeted.
Yeah, we've had a heck of a ride since then, but you know, we're still here.
We're still building.
I'd say like 95 to close to 98% of projects are gone during the spare market.
You know, they weren't able to maintain the hype. They just kind of gave up on the project. Close to 98% of projects are gone during the spare market.
They weren't able to maintain the hype.
They just kind of gave up on the project.
There was no volume.
But we're still here.
We're still building.
The team itself, we're not going away.
We're not going anywhere.
We have lots of plans for the future.
That's so awesome.
And yeah, definitely.
I mean, that speaks volumes of both your volume, but in this space to have hit a year anniversary and passed it and be in this position, it's, we all know things change so fast. how they how they resonated i mean i really love the the dual look on the uh on the nft being able to switch the uh switch the image um is there uh some things that you that you guys got in the works
that you can talk about to uh give us some teasers a bit so our mushroom which is called the truth
uh that utility will be revealed soon.
But it kind of goes along with our rebrand.
As you know, we have Corey.
He's our main artist right now working on rebranded art, things like that.
But still maintaining the same collection that we have.
So, you know, the two switches that we have right now, those will remain.
Those aren't going away anywhere.
But you even see some other art in the audience here, like Spumoni.
He's got a fiend Zuki that one of our community members has been doing a lot lately.
And the community has really grown to that.
And the art is just really clean.
So on top of just the two pieces of art that we have there's so much different
other types that the community has done for everyone i can tell you like myself i probably
have like 15 different renditions of like my my lord vader like cat because like like the
community is just amazing uh super talented that's awesome cryptomedic go ahead buddy
yeah no i love what i'm hearing and i think
you he brings up a lot of really good points about community right like during the bull run
obviously there were a lot of servers that were like that and and stuff was just going crazy but
you know where we are today i think there's very few that have remained i'm going to say with a
strong community right because there's certainly plenty of projects remained, I'm going to say, with a strong community, right?
Because there's certainly plenty of projects out there who have managed to stay around.
But if you drop into their server, there's literally nothing going on.
It's a ghost town. real power of community and of, you know, building something that everybody has some
say in or, you know, some skin in the game that I always I always put it out as you're
fighting for the guy in the foxhole next to you.
And when you develop those types of relationships, that type of a bond in anything, whether it's
war or, you know, in a project trying to make money and
make a brand, that to me is the strongest value problem you can have in this type of space.
Definitely. Well, well put, my friend.
Yeah, you know, I've always uh community is the ultimate utility um you know i i'll invest
into other projects from time to time and i'll always see like someone asking the discord what's
the utility what's the utility and like i don't know what people expect like you know like some
coin that's going to come out that's going to pump and dump. I don't know what their expectations are,
but without a community, you have absolutely nothing.
You don't have a project.
And it's a simple fact.
So that's why I think community is a utility.
I know there's some people that say it's not,
but to me, it definitely is.
Absolutely.
I mean, community even more so than a utility. I mean, community, even more so than the utility.
I mean, we see in some of these communities, that community becomes really a value prop
for the project itself, right?
Because when you go to do partnership with somebody or you go to try to onboard a name
brand into your project somehow, right?
When you represent a community, the more people, and certainly
depending on who some of those people are, buys you that clout, right? To get where you want your
project to go. I think it's worth mentioning too, that what a lot of projects continue to struggle
with, right? Is exactly what Feline mentioned, this, you know, idea that people bought PFPs, right?
They bought a picture.
And pretty much in that wild ride, nobody a way that organizational and project management, and this
is what the dollars are going to cost to get this developed and things like that. Now, you know, I,
on a daily basis interface with a lot of projects, we're literally in that bucket right now of what
we have all this money and we have a community and we're trying to figure out how do we keep that
and grow it in this bear market in a way that makes it valuable to our community, right?
And that's what Narfather, Metatope, some of these companies that are in mice in the background building these things are doing, are providing ways to provide value beyond a picture in a circle on Twitter.
IP is the most valuable circle on Twitter. Exactly. IP is the most
thing on Earth. Data is the
most valuable thing on
Earth, and we are...
That's what we're seeing.
I brought up Yash.
Just wanted to
introduce you and see if you had
any thoughts on
this particular topic.
What up, what up, what up?
King Barton.
I'm giving a TLDR.
Sorry, you were cutting out.
Can you hear me now?
Yeah, there we go.
Okay, perfect, perfect, perfect.
I was saying that I was not able to hear the initial part.
I think my network was not good.
good but do you mind bro bro do you mind giving a tldr of what what were you talking about what
But do you mind giving a TLDR of what were you talking about?
what are you talking about yeah he was uh given a background on the uh his journey into the
collection and uh we are discussing just about the power of community and community means a human
capital and it's it's not i mean people were using community
and they really meant customers like that's what we we saw with a lot of these companies
um the the good ones are the ones that are like now what do we do like we need to
how do we say how do we maintain this value for our holders? We have this amazing just attention capital.
That really is the best word for it.
When you have a community like that, that has that level of attention.
Okay, so how do I monetize it?
How do I find a way to help my holders, give them an opportunity, and really grow the community through the relationships that you have with others.
We're very, very big on collaboration and just how important relationships are because we wouldn't be where we are without them.
wouldn't be where we are without them.
I think, too, it's worth mentioning if you're going to talk about, you know, community and
IP, you know, customers, things like this.
If you want to grow in this space, I think we all can agree.
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, if anybody has a dissenting opinion, by all means.
What we have seen, at least in what we're calling the Web3 space at this point, is the only way anything is getting marketed really is through creators, right? And now there are different types of creators, right? We have influencers, quote unquote, who are creating things really for monetary value, right? They're doing it because they have, what, a community, an audience, and you're buying the ability to speak
to that audience, right? So that's one thing that's going on. But we've also seen the rising
of community creation and content, right? People who are big within a community who are creators,
who are now slowly being given tools to be able to create with their IP, right?
The first tools that have come out have really only been for people who are already creators,
like I've talked about, right? People who know how to make stuff on YouTube, who know how to use
Blender to take a 3D file and rig it and make it do stuff, right? Those people do exist. Unfortunately,
and rig it and make it do stuff, right?
Those people do exist.
Unfortunately, they're few and far between.
What we're starting to see now are lots of tools,
some driven by AI, driven by companies,
lots of tech coming out now
that we're seeing that common denominator line
rapidly drop, right?
For you to be able to create what we'll call content,
engaging content for whatever you want to do with it is becoming
easier and easier day by day now to create not only engaging content, but professional content
without a spending an arm and a leg and be, you know, having to find somebody on Fiverr.
To me, that's an exciting time we're in because we're enabling people to directly create what they see, right?
It's one thing to come from your mind to your hands and create something with a tool.
To me, it's something different when you have to try to impart that to somebody else to create it for you.
Yeah, you make a great point there, dude.
I want to introduce Chris uh also a member of our
team he uh hopped up you want to say hello buddy hey hey how's it going it's going pretty well
an enjoyable saturday i'm loving this discussion chris what are you rocking man what is that
fiendish little thing there it's a grim goal i love it man it's an exoscalating i guess of the v2
that's coming out so um yeah they're in here now but um i appreciate you asking that and having me
up here and to talk and you know i have i actually have a decent now and i won't hog up the space or
anything like that but a decent segment of
what you guys are talking about. So like, you know, the one thing I find in a lot of
spaces and a lot of people now is that like, you can have the best, you know, item or idea
in the world. If you don't present it properly, if you don't treat people properly, you know,
all of that can go down the tubes and down the drain. And, you know, all of that can go down with the tubes and down the drain.
And, you know, I'm going to be 39 years old.
So, I mean, like I've been doing marketing and sales for 20 years in real life and three years to four years, I would say now coming up on Web3.
And, you know, the thing is, is that like, you know, a lot of people on Web3 go to it
because it's such a free place.
And that's fine.
There's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
You know, be you.
You know, don't be anyone that you're not.
Enjoy yourself.
You know, but as companies and projects, like the presentation of yourself and what you do, I think, is like sometimes like I try not to curse in a space.
Some people curse. I mean, I follow the crowd, you know, with what they're talking about and what they're doing.
But like presentation, you know, I think it's important in customer relations.
Like I build relationships with people.
Some people, you know, are like at first, like, what do you want, Chris?
And I'm like, I just said good morning.
And then I'll do it again for like a week or two.
You know, how are you doing today?
You know, and get to know them. If they tell me they have kids, I'm busy. I can't talk or two. You know, how are you doing today? You know, and get to know them.
If they tell me they have kids, I'm busy.
I can't talk right now.
You know, I'm with my family.
I'll ask them, well, how's your family doing?
You know, and really pay attention to each individual person, you know, as far as whatever
information they give me, you know, called active listening, you know, to help basically.
And I'm not doing it, you know, for myself. I'm here to help people. But building relationships is what I do. And I mean, and if
you could build relationships with people, and you can relate and connect with them,
then they'll then they'll do whatever you need them to do, you know, to basically help follow
you support you show up to places go, you know, where you need them to go.
And they'll, you know, they'll take your word on whatever it is that you have to say.
And you have loyal customers, you know, that follow you around.
But that's all I really had to say about that, you know, is implementing a little bit more of in real life, you know,
model techniques into Web3 has definitely helped me out.
But also, you know, it is Web3.
It's different, you know, and so you just add, you know, the adaptation of the differences
into the into the space.
Yeah, most definitely.
So, um, yeah, I think you had your hand up and then we'll, uh, we'll go back over to feline beans. Uh, what's up, what's up? So I just wanted to say this, that I think there
are two ways to look at, you know, quote unquote community, right? And I think the first way is,
of course, uh, the way that I think some of you are talking about a place where I mean a place where people
can just call other people friends right a place a place of so-called belongingness a place where
people can just come and share about their day actually and they know that the other person is
actually you know is actually there to listen
right and i think the other way to look at it is like how i think frank d god usually talks about
is that you know so-called attention economy and you know uh treating people like customers and you
know and just talking about and just you know just knowing about their day just for the sake of knowing about their day and just you know just just just asking hey what's up just so that you know there's
there's something happening in the general chat right so i think uh so i think it's important to
talk about i think it's important to look at things from both perspectives because of course
uh you know i think no perspectives not a single i mean
not a single perspective from the two gives a complete picture right if you just talk about
uh you know the community as community and just a group of friends hanging around uh then you can
of course you cannot do business right and of course a lot of uh i'm very honored to know that
that a lot of you guys are from
marketing and business background so you know that you know we have to definitely talk about
things like you know engagement and you know how many people joined and whatnot right so to ensure
that there's an actual business behind it and you know to actually know what's the growth of the
business and all of the parameters but at the same time if you just
think of them as business and you know just random people uh that are just clicking on websites and
you know they don't have like like i think i think feline fiend said that uh actually knowing the
person behind the pfp i think that's very important and and i think nar, I think we did a first space together, right?
And I think like today, this is, I think like today, you are doing a space of, let's say, 35 odd people have joined in.
And, you know, I was thinking about this a few days back.
I went to an IRL event and they had like 50 odd people.
And I actually thought about this, that when we are actually doing a space with 35 people,
imagine a room filled with
35 people and they're listening to you and I think that will really change the perspective right
that you are actually in a room and 35 people are listening to you right and they are spending their
time for you they are spending their energy towards you so I think we should definitely
make sure to you know create as much value as we can for them.
Of course, we have to take care of the business side, right?
Of course, we have to take care of, you know, all the parameters of sales, growth, blah, blah, blah.
But I think the first aspect is very much, you know, I think this is a common saying in crypto regulation first the
space is under regulated then the space is regulated but then the space is over regulated
so i think that's exactly what happened that's been happening in nft space first the space was
not very much monetized right people were just there for the wives people were just there to
have fun like you know the early board right or early board early 21 vibes people were
just you know fucking with each other not
even you know just buying buying
NFT just to have fun
right but then the space got
so monetized everything was you know
2-2 ETH, MINTS
okay you know ridiculous
amount of it you know
right now also Ether had
ridiculous amounts of mint you know right now also ether had ridiculous amounts of mint you know
mint prices that you know hyper monetization right and i think you guys can relate to it that
sometimes we are uh hyper monetizing our friends and family right of course uh we are treating them
more than customers and trying to you know extract more value they can extract more money, you know, than we should probably do, right?
Yep, definitely.
So, Feline Fiends, let's go over to you.
You made some great points there, man.
Yeah, Chris and Yash, both great points for sure.
I think in terms of building a relationship and building that communication and trust with them.
I feel like it takes very minimal efforts from the team to, you know,
to get to know them and build their trust. Like for instance,
spotlighting your community that I don't see too many projects honestly doing
because for various reasons,
it could be because they want to keep their timeline clean or something like
And I call BS on that because like if someone is going to create art or create content for us, you better damn well know I'm going to spotlight them in any way that I possibly can.
And I'm going to put it on our timeline.
I could care less if our timeline is clean or not.
You know, like they're going out of their way.
So I'm going to make sure I go out of my way.
Another thing is like getting to know their actual PFPs. Like for me as a CM, I can pretty much, you know, see someone's PFP and just know who they are.
Just off the PFP alone. I don't have to see the name because I've studied it because I've I've been in the discord like almost all day long, every day.
all day long every day and we have a lot of og members in our space and things like that
And we have a lot of OG members in our space and things like that.
another thing to do is like you know i'll track the open c uh transactions and stuff like that
and as soon as i see a buy i'll go on the name if i can find it on twitter i'll immediately follow
them and then i'll put alerts on because then right away bam we can just raid them right away
i you know i see their posts so I don't have to wait around for
them to put it in the raid section or things like that. Stuff like that to me is very minimal
effort and it doesn't take too much time out of your day. So I would really hope that other
projects are doing small things like that because that alone can just make the world of a difference.
that because that alone can just make the world of a difference. That's just kind of how I feel
about building that relationship and the little efforts you can put in just to build that stronger
community. Totally. And I'm not sure if it was Broly or Crypto first. Broly, I want to welcome
you to the stage. What's going on? Hello, hello. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me up on stage.
I'd just like to say, you know, Yash and Fielan,
you had some amazing, amazing points there,
especially when it comes to recognizing profile pictures.
And this is coming from someone who's just joined the PFP community.
I've just picked up a seal.
I'm getting to know the community, and it's so, so easy.
Like, people are already
invested in you since you're taking part of their community taking part of their project
um and you know i've just tapped into feline as well i'm loving the way it looks but yeah i just
wanted to come in and say you know good morning it's nice to meet everyone um you know this is
the first spaces of now that i've joined so you know, I just wanted to come and introduce myself.
I appreciate you hopping in.
Thank you very much.
CryptoMedic, go ahead, buddy.
Yeah, welcome.
Wait, are you telling me there are new people coming into crypto?
Oh, my God.
I think we have like 2008 now.
I'm glad to see people are starting to find their way back, right?
We know there are indications that things are starting to turn around.
Are we back yet? Are we back yet?
When? When moon, right?
But there are some indications that things are starting to turn.
I don't think we're there yet.
I think Bitcoin is going to drop a bit still.
I think we saw a little summer pump here, but I think we'll see a dip before we see the real big run.
But that being said, you know, projects like these, you know, sappy seals, feline, there are quite a number of them out there that still have vibrant communities.
Those that are taking that bull run money and investing it in a way that they understand what's coming, these companies, and I'm going to call them companies, because those that take that money and that idea and that roadmap and become a business and become a company, those are going to be the stairs in the next five years. Right. And when we talk about early in crypto, like I think for a while there,
a lot of people in the space thought that that bull run was like mass adoption. Right.
It wasn't. It was just like the first step in bringing some investment into the space.
Mass adoption is only going to come when the big brands get in and the big money, I'm going to
call it. Right. which is not necessarily individuals.
It's company.
And we're starting to see that, right?
We're starting to see Amazon take in roads, like Google, all of these things.
When those companies really begin to buy in, we will see the explosion that we've all been
waiting for.
And these projects that are building out all of these utilities and community and ways to interact with this technology, they're going to reap the benefits in the end.
I like to make a good comparison to cannabis of we had very similar things that were happening 2014 through 2016, even up through 2018, where there was a stupid money being thrown at.
It didn't matter how much you made. Multipliers were like six X revenue. It was just nuts.
Then everything came crashing down after all of the companies in Canada started going belly up because they just overgrew.
They literally didn't do the calcs on what they could actually consume.
So now that that's happened, you see prices start to stabilize.
There's a little bit more regulation and consistency as far as in how things operate.
There are still changes, but it's less drastic and things like that.
we're seeing it.
and that's,
I look at cannabis of like when it hit the billion with a B in each state,
that's when things really,
really change is that brings in a whole nother level of player.
And it just changes the,
the energy, which is something that we are at Norris Fuck now are
actively working to change because we are abundance mindset. It is so important.
You said the buzzword, dude. You said the buzzword there. What created that market?
Regulation. And like Niffy said, that's what's been lacking here. And these big
companies, those big billion dollar, trillion dollar numbers, those aren't going to come
until there's regulation because no company in their right mind is going to flush their bottom
line on something that's uncertain. And that's really, I mean, we've seen that in markets forever, right? Just go back to the stock market, right? Uncertainty is what markets don't like. It could be bad or it could be good, just be something, right? And that's this mire I think we're lost in still in Web3 is because we don't have those bumper rails to tell us whether it's actual good or actual bad. Yep. There's not enough data. There's not enough time to really evaluate.
I mean, just thinking in comparison, yes, all of crypto, I think it just barely hit over a trillion dollar market cap.
It's something in the neighborhood of 60 or 70 trillion in the world economy.
And you think about the number of people that are actually involved in active wallets. I mean, we're talking maybe a million, maybe 2 million across the world. Think about
that in percentage numbers of this is why we are in the right place at the right time to create
this infrastructure for the mass adoption. That has been our focus of how do we set up the platform? How do we empower
our partners and shift from thinking about customers into long-term partnership relationships?
And that is ingrained in Web3, in my humble opinion. That's what I have seen is,
I'm also putting that out there so that people are coming back who think humble opinion, that's what I have seen is I'm also putting that out there. So
the people are coming back who think similarly, but that's the, I'm putting out there that I want
to share. And I want to, uh, this is the type of people I want to work with that are focused on,
let's make a better world. Let's see how we can reduce our stress and just laugh and be silly
and have fun and be goofy. Um, I'm going to be goofy today with my kiddo.
We're going to be doing tea party and stuff like that.
Just be, just find your fun and, and do that.
I mean, really it's a thought is why we're here is to have fun with the
surprises.
I just, I'm so grateful for where I'm at.
And when we get into these discussions of just,
I think about all of those decisions over the last two, three years
that led me to here and just grateful for all of it.
Ups and downs.
No, I think I'm grateful that I know you.
And to be honest, bro, you actually touched upon a topic that
I think we never talked talk about this that
all of these silly things i think we missed we missed somewhere right i think you know so much
money so much flipping of course i love trading of course everybody wants to make money but you
know the things you talked about i think we missed somewhere down the line, right? And I feel very bad for that,
that all of the genuine moments that, you know,
used to do that, you know,
spending time with our friends on Crypto Twitter
and, you know, just missing around,
just having fun, having quality time,
we missed somewhere down the line.
So I just appreciate you, Narfather and Crypto Medic
and, you know, Feline Fiends, Brawley, Chris,
and all of the listeners from Sappy Seals to joining in and, you know, making sure that
the vibe is still there.
And, you know, even though projects like, you know, Ether or whatever, Azuki are, you
know, trying to rip the market, that we are still here. And we have an organic community.
And we still want to create a place where everyone is welcomed,
everyone is taken care of.
And we can have good quality memories with each other
while providing value to them, right?
Yep. It can definitely be threefold, fourfold, win, win, win, win all around.
So it's definitely a big driving force.
So let's just reset real quick.
We got about 15 minutes left.
This has been an amazing space.
Super hyped.
We hit our number. Thank everyone so mook night is going
to be doing a giveaway uh so go up in the nest and make sure that you enter in that uh giveaway
um and uh yeah let's uh well let's just shift let's talk about ai because obviously yeah that's
what i want to do man yeah the ai bill of rights i still need
to use uh chat gpt to summarize that 73 page document for me um but yeah crypto go ahead buddy
yeah so yeah i've been following some spaces over the last like probably 48 hours um i was i was in
a really good space with a gentleman uh g, for the life of me, I can't
remember his last name right now, but this is one of the gentlemen who was actually part of the team
that created that document. Okay. So he was in a space and he was talking about what drove not only
the creation of this, but what these promises, okay, that these companies
have agreed to sign on to, what they're trying to do in essence, right? And what they're trying
to formulate, because this technology is going to get out of our hands very quickly is what
they're seeing, right? We have to put some kind of bumper rails on this stuff,
or we just don't know what's going to happen, right? It's not that we all have to be doomsayers
and point to the end of the world, AI is going to take over. It's not necessarily about that.
What it really becomes about is without bumper rails, we just don't know what these systems
are capable of. And when you look at the world we're living in with
respect to, you know, fake news, and even the news that's real may be manipulated. I mean,
what is real news, right? So when you start to put these AI systems, and you give them control
in a way that they could potentially manipulate data and information without us knowing it,
it becomes very dangerous for the world, right? And so these guys were putting together
this document and some of the things they're looking for, one of which I will bring attention
to, which I think is an amazing start, is that anybody who's producing AI data materials, if it's produced by an AI system,
it's going to have a watermark in it, right? And that doesn't mean like if you produce an image
with it, that there's a watermark in the image, right? It means in the code. If we have to go
back and look, if this suddenly something malicious or strange even starts happening
with respect to that, you know, plug in or that arm where that AI is being used and suddenly
we don't understand what's happening, they can look at that watermark and say, OK, this
is where that code came from.
And we can start to kind of roll back to see, OK, why is this happening?
It's the beginnings of trying to understand
how do you control something that very quickly may be beyond our own understanding.
So it's a very unique place that we're in in time and history. We're facing a fork in the road,
really. And what we do as a society, and it really is as a society,
because if we sit here on our hands, no matter what country you're in, and wait for your
government to determine what kind of regulations to put in place as to how they're going to,
you know, govern or regulate AI, then we're doomed. What we have to do is demand that these things be put in place and demand that AI be used
in a responsible way. And how do we do that? Well, you have to use your voice. And people in this
space is a good way to start. Twitter has a lot of talk going on, but I mean, that's just it.
We've all talked in the space a bit about how do I contribute? How do I contribute to my community, to the greater good, to the world?
Open your mouth.
Yep, because the Black Hat Chat GPT has already been made and is available on the dark web.
So that happened this week.
So be very, just be cautious.
Just like in any other, there have always been scammers since there have been people.
So you just have to be careful.
Double check.
Don't click stuff you don't know.
And if you're unsure, ask the Twitter community.
Just come and be like, hey, did anybody else get something like this?
Like, is this something that's suspect?
And I report every single one that i see uh there was a huge on barbara from fake airdrop yesterday there was like seven
different ones i got pinged in so i went and reported every single tweet and every single
person because that's what it takes to get rid of this stuff yes kiddo all right uh burley go ahead
buddy thank you thank you um yeah i'd just like to come in and say that i'm so glad that ai actually got
brought up in this space and you know cryptomedic you hit the nail on the head there um you know
i'm huge in the ai space you know i've got you know investments all over ai um and just talking
about the news that's recently come up as well well i'm sure we all know that you know xai is
going to be the next meta when it comes to using AI online.
And just seeing how it's challenging ChatGBT, even the creative open AI,
where Elon Musk is accused of being a woke sort of platform.
It's got left opinions and it just feels like it's very, very much opinionated towards the government's ideologies.
It's just interesting to see that XAI is going to be tackling this and having an unbiased review of everything.
But in regards to your talk about the regulations on AI, I do think that that is constantly being looked into.
I think that that is constantly being looked into.
For example, with Optimus AI, which is Elon Musk's venture,
he's looking to regulate that to an extreme extent.
That's why it's taking so long for it to be in production.
But yeah, the whole AI space is constantly evolving.
We just need regulation, regulation on this.
Just to hope that Gary Gensley doesn't get his hands on it.
Yeah, second that. Second that.
So that's one thing.
Dope, I lost you, buddy. You there? Yep. Sorry, I was muted.
Tesla is an AI company. At the end of the day, they've been collecting
data for years and years and years.
And they are like, that's why XAI is going to be a competitor immediately and already is.
It already has over a billion dollar valuation because of the data that comes with Elon.
So it is really understand the tools, play with the tools, listen in,
get a better understanding of what's happening and how you can leverage it,
these things for your benefit.
And then also how to ensure that you're protecting yourself, which again,
it's the same things of just be cautious. Don't click links.
Sounds good to be true. It more than likely is.
Those same things, just on common sense and try not to have FOMO.
That is always what has gotten me is when I get stuck on that FOMO or like, oh, there's only a couple left.
And then I'm just not thinking.
FOMO is a virus, man.
There's one simple way to deal with AI.
When the AI robots knock on your door to take you away, don't answer the door.
That's a good one.
All right.
Well, we got eight minutes.
I got a hard stop at the top of the hour.
So I wanted to give feline fiends an opportunity to talk, just do a quick pitch on projects, just so we can get an idea, obviously, of, yeah, just go ahead and close out and appreciate you being here.
Yeah, no problem.
By the way, y'all are a great host, by the way.
So I look forward to being on here again, maybe someday.
But yeah, so I talked about it a little bit before.
We've been around since March of last year.
So going on a year now, basically, a little longer.
We started off as a collection of 7,777.
That size has gone down because we came out with a mechanic called El Gato's retreat
with that you know we were talking about IP earlier this is basically customizing your own
IP so putting two fiends in El Gato's retreat and creating your own with a possibility of getting
50 plus new traits that were added to the collection. So certain combinations
make a new trait. And that's also applied to the OG stance as well as the PFP stance.
On top of that, though, you also get airdropped what's called the truth,
which is a mushroom airdrop. And that's going to be used to further go down the project,
further progress through the project, I should say. And that's
coming very soon. That goes along with our rebrand and things like that. So far during this bear
market, we've created, we've come out with a collection apparel, top tier apparel too, not like
your standard with, I see all the time projects coming out with, you know, 100% cotton shirts with just a logo on it.
And they charge 100 bucks or whatever.
I don't know.
But anyway, that's not us.
So we have, you know, French Terry.
That's like our actual material that we use.
We also have what's called the Dump Them collection that I pinned up to the top there.
what's called the dump them collection that I pinned up to the top there.
And that doesn't only benefit fiends holders,
but the whole space because it's something the whole space can rock.
So it's basically dump her, not your NFTs, dump him, not your NFTs,
kind of just to promote the NFT space as a whole.
A lot of holders have been wearing that and they said they love it.
And it just kind of gets the word out there more for, for NFTs.
And to go along with that, we have more products coming out too.
You know, we're building a brand here.
We're not just your typical merch items that you see, like I said, in a lot of projects.
We always want to have top tier stuff and also, you know, give good discounts to our whale holders.
You know, the holders that have been holding it down for a while now.
On top of that, Bolivian, one of our founders,
he has something else going on called the Capital.
With that, we have our one-on-one holders
and our Pride Leader holders with 21 Plus
that gets free access to that.
I'm sure a lot of you have heard of the capital.
It's a shitcoin server, basically, but people have made a lot of money in it.
But also another positive thing, though, to our smaller holders is three plus fiends will
actually get the calls from the capital into the fiend server very soon.
So if you have three plus fiends, you're going to get majority of the calls from the capital into the Fiend server very soon. So if you have three plus Fiends,
you're going to get majority of the calls from the capital
coming over to the Feline Fiend server,
which is a great added utility.
We do raffles all the time.
Raffles that are based off of how many Fiends you own,
gets more entries and things like that to whitelist projects.
So people have whitelist
opportunities we do you know game events whenever we can movie movie nights poker all sorts of that
kind of stuff we do giveaways a lot of the time as well yeah that pretty much sums it up like i
said down the road we got some big stuff working on with our rebrands and we're
excited for everyone to to see it and we're excited for everyone to use their uh their truth
nfts because i know it's been a minute and people have been waiting thank you can i just say that
yeah go ahead sorry you go ahead i was just gonna say that is amazing and i am uh definitely going
to be looking into that uh and taking some further looks.
I got to flip a couple of things, get me some ETH.
But that's awesome.
I love hearing about the innovation and of merging things and the randomness.
And I just love it.
I love hearing about innovation and creativity like that.
I'll buy your grills ape nice well then yeah as you guys saw up in the nest just
drop you with some last minute alpha here um our uh ats grills gang shop is live uh so we have
uh items that you can get featuring uh the apes that we've chosen.
And then if you are a holder, you have the ability to semi-customize your item.
And we are very, very reasonable on price.
And we also focus in on quality, which I really loved hearing that from Feline Fiends.
That's the most important aspect is making sure that you're choosing quality products and ensuring that all of your designs and everything are up to par.
So Broly, Chris, CryptoMag, I don't know if you guys wanted to sign off real quick.
I have a hard stop at two minutes.
So if you just want to say something real quick.
Yeah, sure, sure.
I'll make it quick i just wanted to say for the
feline nft project it's amazing how you've reduced the supply but increased your value
that's just that's just a bullish sentiment in itself and i did have a look at the shop as well
now um and you know i i'm just going to spend a lot of money that's all i can say we accept crypto
last page so just to know uh it won't show up on the payment page.
But if you go through to the end on the very last page, it'll come up as an option.
Just Shopify stuff and trying to get plugins to integrate.
And they just updated everything to four weeks ago.
So it's what it is.
Is it pronounced Broly? Sorry. Is it Broly?
Yeah, it's Broly.
Broly, thank you so much for the kind words and if you ever have any questions
feel free to hop in the discord
just chat in Litterbox

before we close it out
yeah much love to everybody for coming out happy to connect with everybody
dm me if you got questions i got connections everywhere i'm sure we'll talk soon thank you
for being here come see us we do this every week much love everybody have a great rest of your
