Thank you. Thank you. I think I'm I don't know what that was, but I kinda wanna get a little high dessert up my day
Just a little bit for a bit more, yeah
I think I'ma have a gummy, wake up with a nummy
Wash it down with Henny, I'ma get me feelin' funny
Look at me, I'm callin' dummy, nose is gettin' runny
Lift a little loose and now she twerkin' in my tummy
Now she twerking in my tummy, now she twerking in my I'm not have another gummy
Hungry for the honey
Popped a pill of molly
Her and Lucy getting chummy
Smoking live, you know it's yummy
I'm stoned, I'm going mommy
Ate a little Alice
Now I'm a hundred-legged buddy
Now I'm a hundred-legged I should probably chill out or something late to get my operator.
Wait a minute.
Where is he?
How did I get here?
Well, it all started with a gummy.
Then I got a gummy.
Wash it down with Remy.
And it got me feeling funny. Look at me I'm going dummy, nose is getting bloody, time to sober up and get on track back to this money, get on track back to this
One of you can create your own website by saying this is what I want with wicks you can
First entry for psychology 101
Dysfunctional yeah, don't you bring me nothing stupid if you don't want me to lose it step back if you don't want me to
Attack on a piece better give me the deuces.
I have no tolerance for nonsense, get away from me.
We don't want to get dollars, don't want to holler, but you making me.
I'm a little dysfunctional, you the problem, please don't awaken me.
And I'm that way, cause back in the day, most have forsaken me.
La-di-da-di, I'm at the party.
On a drunk night where the punk might do it, try to pick a fight because he's sorry.
That he ain't got he like I I because he's sloppy, not me, costly rocks be spot free
But he don't know I'm bogus, surrounded by my soldiers
And they be locked and loaded, when exploded you can't hold us
And we don't got no sprinkles, we didn't come to fight and shoot you
But your bustlers better be neutral, don't get loose because we cuckoo
Listen, they call me genius, I run the show
Women pee on my penis, it's wonderful
Demons, think they the meanest
But I run the fall, on the floor
A little bit sick, don't you know
I'm a little dysfunctional, don't you know
If you push me, it might be bad
Get a little emotional, don't you know
If you pull around and make me mad
I'm a product of environment.
The game to change so I've been forced to return me.
But I make news and I pay dues and I got common sense
Since I can't lose and I can't choose and I'll come back to spit
I got hit songs, but I've been gone so long that I don't fit
Kneeled at the throne, but can't get on, so I did me a lick
I write these songs, but don't belong, I'm on some other shit
I'm huntin' leads and desperate need, I hope it's comin' quick
I rack my brain to find a lane that's gon' bring me some change
But it's so strange, my life has changed and I am not the same
I come around but since I'm down it feels uncomfortable
I try to hide it deep inside but I'm dysfunctional
I never learn to hold it, being out gets emotional
First implode and then explode, I am combustible
So please don't push me, play me pussy on some real shit
Won't be defeated if I'm heated, make it all shit I'm a little dysfunctional, don't push me, play me pussy on some real shit Gonna be defeated if I'm heated, nigga, all shit
I'm a little dysfunctional, don't you know
If you push me, it might be bad
Get a little emotional, don't you know
If you pull around, it make me mad
I'm a little dysfunctional, don't you know
If you push me, it might be bad
Get a little emotional, don't you know
Mike Poodle and I make me mad
Don't take me mad
I ain't no killer, but don't push me
Goodie, goodie, quiet boy, never been no pussy
Could be carrying something up under my hoodie
Chris would never snap and kill up all of y'all who would leave
Now I wanna be peaceful, but I carry desert eagles where
Ever black people are, you know how black people are Now I I'm always sick and I can't let it be. Form a suitable soup be the best recipe.
It's gonna be the death of me.
I need devil coaches to coach.
Why keep throwing them pills down my throat?
Dysfunctional blood to do.
Smoking Bombay can give me feng shui.
But I wish that it all would go away.
Or maybe I should pray for Jesus Christ.
It just impress on me.
Try to pray for change.
But sometimes it feel like he let's it be.
So I just take another couple doses, probably be fine
But if you get too close, you'll find out that I
I'm a little dysfunctional, don't you know
If you push me, it might be bad
I get a little emotional, don't you know
If you fool around and make me mad
I'm a little dysfunctional, don't you know
If you push me, it might be bad I get a littleal, don't you know? If you push me, it might be bad.
I get a little emotional, don't you know?
You might fool around and make me mad.
Don't make me mad.
Strange!
Music.
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
Powered by Weed On Solanaana get yourself a bag of weed what's up we got eac in the building all right man we're just sharing this out hope you're doing
good this morning doing great bro i'm glad to see you and uh yeah i pinned up the OOE marketplace because, bro, you're Polygon, and I need you in there with me, man.
I'm the only – like, there's a whole section for Polygon.
It only has EAC.
You're on Polygon.
Yeah.
You should be on there with me, bro.
It's free advertising.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, I told them I'm going to – I'll put my collection in there and stuff.
I don't know what else I need to do, but, yeah, I'm all about it.
I want to get over there for a couple of the things.
I know they got some fundraiser, like basically a set up like a GoFundMe for, like, Shorty Tulls and some of these other people who had, like, some issues recently.
You know, her house burned down and all that.
So I definitely want to get into that.
No, it's a really good idea.
Yeah, no, it's a really good idea.
Like it's actually an idea I had,
but it's cool that they're implementing
because, you know, an idea is just an idea.
You have to like implement it
and it's a lot of work there.
It's 30% they take.
So that's kind of was like,
but I mean, if you factor that in,
I guess when you're doing something,
it's free advertising.
So I mean, well, not free.
They take their 30%.
But if it can get to your goal, you just add that extra 30% onto it.
That's just the cost of doing business.
It's marketing expenses is what it is.
It's a similar thing with the crypto magazine um liquid like liquid market nft
liquid nft marketplace that is like it takes 10 percent right and one thing that the they did that
like it's instant like uh edge bro and i'm like i didn't even have to i just asked if they what
they're doing they they locked in um royalties with the contract so
when you have your smart contract and it says it's two percent artist royalties there's no
option for um someone who lists their nft on the open oooey that they can take that royalties off and that's the way it should be bro so yeah
magic eden and uh open c for turning that off but uh yeah ooey is is doing things right like
that's the whole point of a smart contract how do you just turn off a feature of a smart contract
like that's bullshit well that's the yeah like how do you what what are we even doing this for yeah if it's not
decentralized smart contracts when when someone on the the end of it a marketplace is deciding
what the smart contract does yeah that's exactly why we're doing decentralized so we don't have
to deal with that shit like that that power play bullshit and honestly if you think about it when they turned
off royalties it really ruined nfts so well because it made it made it so much easier to flip
and so there you got a lot more speculators that were not were necessarily they didn't care about
the underlying value of the asset they are just like they wanted to get in a flip and like you
know low fees definitely
creates more transactional volume but that means you know there's there's always a give and take
right yeah well it was greed because i mean they didn't turn down the fees for themselves
they didn't yeah they only recently just turned down the fees from like i think it was like six percent or something to 2.5 right and
then they they had them uh they took them off completely for a little bit there when they
realized everyone was just bailing on them well and so i mean you know like i'm a i'm on open c
like um so i mean i'm an advocator for it but but like that being said like um who we marketplace
like they they give you they they they um well i get the blue they get the verified check mark and
i get my collection up there um first thing now to get that happen on openSea, it's 24 ETH volume. It's the same for Magic Eden, but think about it, bro.
24 ETH volume, that's 2.5 ETH in their pocket.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
It's definitely a pay-to-play game.
I was talking with the OpenSea people in NFT NYC.
They had a free mint, which I got and flipped it for $130 score.
But I was talking about it.
Like, how does it look like for mass adoption, right?
Like, what does mass adoption actually look like?
It means every business, you know, implementing blockchain technology.
Well, here I am.
I'm an actual business.
Like, I have a personal advisor, right?
So I've figured out a way to tokenize myself but you're
not going to verify my collection because i don't have millions in in like transactional volume from
speculators like that doesn't make any fucking sense like that means you're like you're not
allowing real business in you're only allowing the hype bullshit stuff to get verified and like
don't you see that with that and they're like yeah that is a big problem so i'm happy to like move over someplace where they're gonna will have a blue check mark of
verification already um and it's on the ground level also i've talked to them in the back end
too about uh possible collabs or me representing them um and we'll see we'll see what what comes
from that but uh I'm optimistic.
I think there's lots of potential for new platforms.
And I have a lot of ideas for features that I want to add.
But I want to add it to the right company.
I don't want to just give it to OpenSea and let them run with it.
I'd rather OpenSea realize what they're doing at Ouwe or what I recommended
and then jump on the board after, you know, after the fact.
I want them to, like, catch up to us.
For sure, bro.
And I want that, too.
And even if, like, OOE is bought out by OpenSea, that they'll be like, they're going to honor my blue checkmark that, you know, because I'm verified, you know.
that uh you know because i'm verified you know like i mean like it's first i have to actively
mint out the collection which doesn't count for volume and then i have to like work to get volume
up to 24 eth like i'm i'm i'm good for goals bro like i can like that's a challenge and i accept it
but they make it definitely more challenging
when the collection doesn't even show up
in any of their search results
because I don't have that blue checkmark.
Like, how are you going to get the volume
if you're not even, like, being shown to the public
in the first place?
It's just a catch-22 cash grab.
That's all it is.
I mean, straight up. Just a cash grab that's all it is i mean straight up just just a cash grab well i'll join
you over there we'll uh we'll have to we'll have to do some more stuff i want to see them put more
chains on but also with the ag layer it won't really matter too much what uh chain we're on
right um like i mentioned that to him kind of to implicate that. I don't know how it works, but while you were in Sid's space,
the last one, they definitely have like, it's like Ape Chain,
like is really a focus, which I like because the Ape Chain
like has like a really strong builder,
community of builders like on spaces.
And I love Polygon, but where's the polygon building spaces like
so yeah there's not a whole lot a whole lot of like community activity right there
and the apes have always been uh kind of gung-ho i mean you're gonna have that legacy from board
ape always kind of like hanging over your head a little bit right so it's good that is a good
to take advantage of that yeah well they have more of like a like like they support each other as projects like projects
supporting projects yeah exactly i see we got chum wizard and priest and michael in the house
what's up what's up welcome how y'all doing how's it going michael see you jumped up on stage. Hope you're doing good today.
Feel free to give us a little hello,
who you are, and what you're doing here.
We are the DeFi Space Donkeys,
and we are working right now with CryptoFam Radio.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, we do these spaces from 4 to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
I'm also live Monday and Wednesday on my own account,
and that's just for AMA so I can donate my time to the community as an advisor. And these spaces
have been kind of morphing, these Tuesday, Thursday spaces. It's a little bit of everything.
Sometimes we're talking Web3. Sometimes it's music. Sometimes it's just kind of hanging out
with the crew. We might have specific topics and interviews coming up here in the future.
I think we're going to have a lot more space hosts and space guests coming up here pretty soon once they get all the tokenomics and everything dialed in for CryptoFam Radio. So yeah, welcome,
welcome. You go ahead and give the room a retweet. I know that'll see a purple pill down there,
but if you go up top, I'll put the space right there up top in the front.
So, yeah, it's there right now.
And you can just give it a retweet, tag some friends there.
Go ahead and tag three friends.
I'll give away $10 in weed token.
But, you know, for every 25 people that we get in this space, I'll do another $10 giveaway in weed token.
How about that? I'm not going to even put it up there in the top this is this is for you
guys paying attention so tag tags of friends tell them to get in here and try to get in on some of
this weed token i joined the team may 1st and we are doing some cool things there's uh some nft
developments i can't really say too much more than that, but we are looking to expand the project into
some more areas where we can collaborate with other collections and brands.
So yeah, there's more info here in a little bit on that.
That is already probably saying a lot.
If you know, you know, but just stay tuned.
Oh yeah, it's good to see chum wizard here always jumping and supporting
feel free to grab a microphone again mike if you want to come up and talk you're welcome
we are kicking it um i'm actually thinking about playing another song i want to see what you're up
to uh eac um what are what's the what's the updates which you've been uh been working on
recently those cards that you we gave out at n and at NYC people were just absolutely loving them
I wonder how many people are even like realize how much they are worth you know what I mean I
think they're just like these are dope cards and they're happy with that you know it'll be
interesting to see how many people actually claim them right bro like I mean i was thinking about this and you know straight up honest like the
i don't know 200 bucks that i paid like you was a no-brainer like a
yeah easily the best money that i've ever spent advertising now the 600 bucks to for the merch
i mean that's just part of doing business. I think it was definitely worth getting it into people's hands.
And the $10,000 of DAO token that is claimable on those cards,
that probably might hurt if everyone did claim.
So I'm kind of glad that not a lot of people have.
Actually, only one person has, which is, you know, it is what it is.
I wouldn't be actually, you know, hurting.
Because when you do marketing, right, you kind of got to look at what was the expense.
And the goal from any marketing is that you bring in more money than it costs you to market.
But that being said, the price of marketing is that who knows when you'll see that return
expecting to see the return instantly is just not how marketing works so over time i think that the
exposure for those cards and the merch it was definitely worth it i mean it's a small expense
right like 600 bucks and 200 for you, $800.
That's like, you know, it is what it is for an event.
I'd do it again for sure. Oh, yeah.
And, yeah.
There'll definitely be more opportunities too.
And I'm going to put together some packages of like merch packages that come with the sponsorship.
So like, you know, you'll automatically, you know know the merch aspects will be taken care of
kind of um and we'll figure out like what's like the best thing to give people as far as merch goes
like what's the what's going to be the adopted like go-to thing what what thing can people not
leave on the table when they walk through the conference or what thing are they going to keep
using um i think that so they're going to see it daily and it's going to basically continue to be
marketing going forward you know what kind of we'll focus on those i can tell you what the best
cost per marketing but people have to do it like because i that's what i do for a living i design
and sell signs and sell marketing and swag and all that stuff so here's here's what it is if you have
a decal right like bumper size sticker bump, like a decal that people can read,
but they actually have to like put it on their rear windshield or bumper.
And because that's like a moving billboard that when people are behind that car,
they'll see it and look at it.
And that's the best cost for the cost of that deckle for the advertising that you get
from that but it's no good if people just take the deckle and throw it on their their closet door
like it has to be you have to give them some sort of incentive to put it right on their back
it can't be pretty you have to have an incentivized method to like get them to put it out there for exposure that makes sense so so then the next thing would be kind of a hat right like if it
if someone's wearing a hat on their head or like a or a t-shirt like that's free free advertising
but they actually have to wear the product so giving them a good product that looks good that
they actually wear um to the right person to
like you know that because that's just a conversation starter and that's
probably the next specs thing like a reverse marketing but you you get a bunch
of merch and you put bored ape stuff all over it and then you just hand it out
to like the major homeless populations so So that way, like their brand is like synonymous with homeless.
Yeah.
I never thought of that.
Like it could work opposite.
I mean, the best would be like you make,
you make hot tank tops and you give them to hot chicks.
That's smart.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you want to make the person's
next favorite piece of merch, ideally, right?
But yeah, you don't know with marketing.
You put out a marketing campaign
and then it slowly trickles in
and it's also part of the overall aggregate of numbers.
So even if you've only got one person that claimed it,
that's actually really good
because all the people who saw the cards, all the people who talked about the cards,
and then that one person is going to be like, yo, I claimed it, bro. It was this much. That was a win.
And he's going to tell his friends and the friends are like, oh, damn, I wish I would have gotten one
of those. I'm going to make sure I find him next time. You know what I mean? And now they're looking
into you. They're looking into me.
The bigger that win is and the harder it is to get the win, like it doesn't even matter
if it's almost impossible to get that win.
The fact that they know somebody that got the win is like huge in their mind.
And for marketing purposes, it's going to be like, it's going to be really, really
advantageous to have a couple big wins out there.
You know, here's a crazy story that I just dealt with this morning. really advantageous to have a couple big wins out there.
Here's a crazy story that I just dealt with this morning.
So we migrated to the DAO token so we can be on chain,
so you can have voting governments by how much DAO you hold, right?
And we had this tool that was free to use called Snapshot. It's a bot within the Discord, and it's an on-chain tool
that plugs into Genos multi-sig wallet.
So we had that all set up to migrate on September 1st
to give Airdrop everyone their DAO token to use that.
And today, we just logged into it
because we've been testing it out.
And they said, oh, we're ending.
You have to switch to premium if you're on Polygon POS.
And guess how much the premium costs per month?
300, I don't even know know 500 bucks a month bro so yeah that's out
so but yeah but uh the but the good news is that third web like the you know the deployer that we
kind of build around and use like they have a they have a free contract so we're
just easy migrate to that one get that one going but uh yeah if it wasn't for that like who who
can afford well i don't know man like 500 bucks a month i mean they got to be providing some good
exposure in addition to that and if they i mean that's it's possible
but yeah unlikely that's a big chunk to recuperate um every month yeah because i mean a lot of sales
funnels aren't going to cost you that much you know so like that's got to really be bringing
in some volume or else it's gonna flop real quick like if you're a dow right it's already kind of you know a dow is like
you're not working with the a huge marketing like budget i mean i don't know i only know my
down right it depends on the size because really a dow could be like any board of directors that's
just decentralized.
So budgets are going to come and going to be all different various sizes based on the industry and the company. But yeah, I'm liking the ideas of DAOs in order to have a decentralized structure for governance.
But it's really hard to trust which business is going to be doing the
right things, even with good management, let alone with a democracy, kind of a voting rights.
We've seen the effects of democracy recently, and it doesn't seem to be very effective.
I don't know. It works better if you get more people participating, right? But yeah, I like the idea sometimes of just having a couple of people
that you can go to for good ideas and for, they got the responsibility, you know, versus a DAO,
it's kind of nice to not have like the target on your head, right? Like it's different if you're
part of a DAO structure versus you're the CEO of a billion dollar company, right? You have a lot of risks associated with that.
You become a target.
So having a DAO structure just spreads out that risk.
You're not a point of weakness that could be targeted, right?
So once you get over a certain size, you want to do a board of directors or a DAO
just to not have the crazy target on your head.
For sure. I've already experienced that already in my short time yeah 100 i see we got chum wizard in the house what's up chum hope you're
doing good today what's going on guys yeah i'm doing great uh Are you able to hear me all right? Yes, sir.
Sweet.
But, yeah, no, I've just been listening in.
I had to do some running around this morning with the girlfriend,
so now I'm just getting settled in.
But, yeah, you know, got to tune in and show some support.
Yeah, man, always good to see you hanging out. I know you're running around and busy, but you're still supporting.
So that's dope.
Let me know if there's anything I can do for you.
If you had any goals or any questions, man.
Always here for you, bud.
Yeah, I actually do have a quick question, or maybe just pick your brain and see what you think on it.
I don't know if you've seen, but I actually went ahead and made an official page for demons of magnolia um here on
x that i'm going to be just you know kind of introducing the characters and stuff with but i
wanted to know what your thoughts on what your thoughts are on just you know getting getting
the word out and just getting people interested in in the world of Magnolia well okay so I want to now I
want to look in the specific details I just posted a little something up top so
we can all get it you know get a look at it
yeah let me just see so you've got you have different types of environments
where people are like more into the story or the lore or collectability of certain aspects too.
So it is tough though to find which exact market is the best place that you're going to get adoption for that, right?
So I would be popping around to literally all the different share spaces just because you don't know what the kind of the crossover is gonna be
What is it Ben?
What's his name Ben?
He was a spider-man comic writer
Man, I have his book. He made a book that was an NFT
You know be coming from like mainstream like being a writer for the Spider-Man comics,
you know, I thought he was going to have more traction, right?
And I think he did too.
Just because it's so early that you really have to tap into existing like infrastructure
and existing markets, right?
You can't rely on third, like Web3 as a marketing or or even as a community because it's really not
it's just like the adoption of the tech and you know there are some things like eight chain where
they have like a good community presence you know strong community vibe but in general there's not
a whole lot of that community for specific specific tech or even like,
I mean, look, VFriends has a pretty good, you know,
grouping of people that they've attracted, right?
But even VFriends, considering how big they are, right?
Gary with 3 million followers,
you know, they don't have like the biggest community,
you know, presence, considering how big they are. You know, I would think their community spaces
would be popping like all the time.
And they do have pretty good spaces when they throw them up.
But we're just not getting the attention that we deserve in this industry.
So you have to focus specifically on the story and the genre.
I wonder if bookstores would be a good place to kind of branch out
yeah um so when i when i start doing these short comments i'm actually going to be doing those on
uh nifty tales it's it's been a great platform just for like more written stuff and i when i
did my first short story i i did it on there. I'm like, you know what?
I actually like the way this looks and how I can format it to be like, you know,
an actual webcomic almost, but do it on chain.
Yeah.
Yeah, everything.
I'm just going back into my room, okay?
Yeah, everything needs to be on chain.
That's just the way the ownership is going to be in the future.
I don't know. I'm going to look into some of the comic
areas because there's
Ben and there's also
Ascensions. I remember we did an Ascensions
mint like a year and a half ago
and it minted out. It was a
free mint, but it minted out in like 10 minutes.
It was like a 4,000 collection minted out in like 10 minutes.
It was like a 4,000 collection.
Yo, chum, I would invite you to, to get involved with like Uwee Marketplace. Tricky can kind of vouch for it that the referral link that I have pinned up there is safe to click and connect your wallet to and get signed up for.
And it's a new marketplace where we're all helping each other, and it's legit.
And because it is a new marketplace, the early adopters of that are going to get a lot more exposure than if you were to just join on OpenSea or something like that, right?
You're dropping a bucket on a lot of these other places. But on a brand new platform,
especially where you can talk with the developing team,
you can be able to say,
hey, I want to add this feature for my book or for my NFT.
And now you can work directly with the dev team
to make sure that's a possibility
because they know more features.
There's going to be more adoption for the public.
And yeah, you're basically going to get free marketing by being able to talk to the dev team and the owners right off the get. He's got the the homies which is like that old brand from the 90s They had a little plastic things in the in the department stores like in the little gumball machines
And that was the 90s and then they kind of went over digital so they have a digital collection and then he's got non fungible arts
NFA and it's a whole whole facility actually in Vegas. It's like a hundred million dollar building
So we're gonna be able to do events there and
a whole bunch of cool stuff. I'm
an NFA pass holder too, so
that'll be a lot of fun.
Vegas, Vegas Events Inbound.
Then the other thing I wanted
to add that I actually learned from
an OnlyFans model about
onboarding, she used Reddit, bro.
She created a story and
the story got people intrigued and then near story and um the story was got people intrigued
and then near the end of the story it led to join her only fans page so it um you could like
implement that same kind of idea um for you like you create a story on reddit near the end of the
story it gets people like intrigued to know what the ending may be the ending to find out the ending.
It's to go to your website or wherever you want to lead them to.
My ADD brain was like it was like picture giving me different visuals to like to go with that.
You remember I don't know if you remember this a couple of years ago.
There was a video of a guy in the wrestlers like in in the wrestle stadium like in the in the rows of seats and the
bleachers right and uh he's like twist his dick grab him by the dick give him the old dick twist
i don't know if you've seen that that that bit but that's what i was just that's that's what
reminded me of like going to reddit just give me old dick twist
Hey, man, if it works it works like that would good on her for making a story and bringing people in like that that's smart
That's that's the type of only fans. I'd be interested in someone smart enough to actually go play the game
Not just a frickin not just a money pit
That's hilarious.
I see we got Moon in the house.
What's up, Moonbeam?
I have a question.
Hey, GM, GM, GB, G-A-G-B, wherever we are.
I, he said it was the ooey platform?
Yeah, get on there, Moonbeam.
Like, I'm actually surprised. It's, yeah, double letters. Yeah, get on there, Moonbeam. How do you spell it?
It's double letters.
It's two letters of every letter in the thing.
O-O-E-E-Y-Y?
O-O-H-H-W-W-E-E. Okay, which one is right?
My pinned post up there
has the logo.
It's O-O-H-H-W-W-E-E.
You just do O-O-H
and it'll pop up.
Hey, you've got to
click my referral link,
Moonbeam. Come on.
I will wait to add.
I'm not getting... There it is.
It's up top.
I found it.
It takes forever. I just now got my internet
to start working really good.
Appreciate you.
Have you heard of Rumble?
Rumble.
Go on there today, you guys.
I'm telling you, it's a perfect place to engage to
um it's awesome you will really really like it you can do live feeds there like when y'all do
your um interviews tricky you can also live stream it over there and get paid as well
um it's really really really really really cool i'll send you what does the pay what's the pay
look like like what do the pay look like?
Wait a minute. I'll send it to you
because I'm going to give you my referral link.
And yes, I will click on your referral link
EAC for that.
Yo, Tricky, I got a question for you already.
Yeah.
What do you think
of the PumpFun
token drop?
Oh my god. I'm going to je jeep the out of that thing you know
it's gonna be the quickest g the token in history what's jeep mean people are gonna sell it immediately
people are gonna get that and it's gonna it's gonna crash so hard so fast when it comes out i'm gonna
sell that thing in a heartbeat yeah okay i mean i don't know if you're getting an airdrop because you have to be like a streamer to get one but um but that would be the consensus that the the majority of
people are saying but for that reason I think they aren't um they're in the trenches and I'm gonna
I'm gonna actually buy the presale bro I mean it might not be a bad even from the pre-sale still probably be a good up
but um but yeah man you better whatever you spend on the pre-sale make sure you get that money out
when it deploys um and and it'll come back like hear me out on this i mean i know i'm i'm not even
a big you know fan of like solana and pump fun but uh i've been thinking about this you know i'm not even a big fan of Solana and Pump Fun, but I've been thinking about this.
I'm not going to put in more than obviously that I won't ride to zero,
but I think that it's a long-term play.
And I'm the crazy person for saying that,
but that's usually how it goes, right?
So I'm going to put in $20.
I'm going to hold it to zero long
term yeah I mean I usually those pre-sales are good up because there's
people who will be long-term holders that will just get in and hold it and
like wait for it to see where it's gonna end up in three or four years I would
say if you if you were 20 bucks is not bad but it's not that's that's a you can
set that in there.
It's two drinks, and if you don't get it back right away, it's okay.
But I would also say within that first week, it's going to have a nice pullback, and you'll be able to get in at a low price.
But it won't be lower than the pre-sale price.
It'll just be lower than the where it was really launched at
you know what i mean and and then if you know depending on what they're doing it might go back
up i could see them in like if they implemented a reward system with their token and or made it so
you had to use their token like a certain number of their token in order to deploy a new token
you know what i mean i think like i've been
make it work yeah like i think what you're saying like definitely there'll be there'll be when they
get airdropped out like there's going to be a point where every all the paper hands cheat right
and it'll do a dip maybe even it'll dip lower than the pre-sale and that's a good buying opportunity, 100%. So I might buy another bag of 100 at that point.
But I think that they're not dumb.
They're in the trenches.
They know.
They've been making money.
They know how to make money.
And I think this is like they know what's at stake here.
They're either going to ruin themselves as a company and Solana,
the whole entire blockchain, or they're going to cement themselves as a force to take it to the even next level to be listed on Wall Street.
Yeah, I mean, this could be a way for them to raise some funds and then make a nice push to take the whole thing public.
Yeah, I mean, anything's
possible, really. I think that
they've hurt their
reputation already, in a
way, that I don't think they could
really hurt their reputation more.
You know what I mean?
We have such low standards
of them, I don't see us being
like, I am so disappointed with that thing they did.
Now, this is the final straw.
I'm not going to know.
You don't think that's a make or break kind of moment, this whole token?
It usually would be, but not for the people who own the casino.
You know what I mean?
You've already accepted it's a freaking casino at this point here's here's the thing about that though there's other casinos coming in to play like with
bonk um with like radium with like all these other deployers like everyone knows like you
if to make money you to be the casino and so they want to be the biggest casino but uh you know that's just my thoughts
yeah i mean anything's possible really like i just don't think they they could hurt themselves
at this point because they're they're the bar is so low for them moon you always got to have
some kind of noise in the background here we go okay. Okay. Well, yeah, I just don't see them hurting their reputation, no matter what they do at this
point, because there's just such a low bar, right? Like, insanely low bar. The people who are buying
stuff on PumpFun, I think they know it's a gamble. Like, when it first came out, people maybe were
speculative, and they were thinking
maybe there might be some stability here or something that could
come out of this platform, but
it is just another one of those
cash. There's like 20 or 30 of these websites
where you can basically verify your token,
confirm that it's all
safe, and then get a rating
from them. And they all charge
you different amounts. Sometimes they just charge people
to look at the information. Sometimes it's straight up you pay for your
your color check mark or whatever
Yeah, it'd be really hard for them to fuck up in a way that made them look worse
So I think it's only a come up. I think it's only gonna be a good thing for them
I don't think anybody's gonna like getting crazy on the presale and then be like i can't
believe it dumped you know like it's like it's pump fun you know what i mean like it's fucking
it's in the fucking name basically it might as well just been called pump and dump like pump
dot dump would have been fine for like you know that would also make sense so yeah go ahead boom
that's funny dump Dump pump.
It's a pump.
It's a dump pump.
So I already know that in the thing.
See, my hand does it go down.
It's already in the words.
I posted it up there.
That's my referral link.
And I'm looking up the earnings for you.
You can earn transactions payments.
You get referrals.
But you do live streams.
Like you guys do your videos live streaming and um like for
instance i'm gonna check the one in the highest pay right now because anybody that's watching it
can send you money in any way so um i think it's a good idea for i mean i think it's a cool idea
because you guys do a lot of live streaming so let me check on the, like how much the basic money making analytics are,
but use my referral link up there.
And then I get,
this is rumble.
What is this moon?
Rumble is what it's called.
How long have you looked into it?
I've been looking into it for about two weeks.
And I've been on a couple of live...
Whenever you're...
Wait a minute.
Whenever you go through it, just click on it.
You don't have to add anything.
No, you don't have to click on that.
No, no, no.
Tricky.
Listen, look up Rumble on the internet and then explore it for yourself.
But they have a lot of cool live feeds.
Like they do movie reviews.
Some people do stuff like you guys do interviews.
Some people do Nautica stuff or random Nautica.
I mean, it's like a complete diverse.
Some do live game streaming, but you literally get tipped and make money on it.
So you don't have to use my link yet.
What kind of money?
You say you get tipped.
What does that actually mean?
So what money have you made?
I just started.
So I'm working with Beamer.
I have no time to do this, too.
I really don't.
That's what I was looking into.
That's what I'm doing.
That's what I was saying.
That's what I was doing right now.
I'm not looking into that for you.
No, Tiki, you're not hearing what I'm saying.
All I said was
is to look up Rumble and explore the site.
That's all I said.
Yeah, I heard you.
I have some interesting news.
Go for it, Rob.
Truth Social is dropping a token for their,
when you have their like premium subscription and it just got announced
today.
And they don't have any details about what chain or anything,
but I'm not saying I head over the Truth Social and buy their subscription.
I'm saying this is good for us because if Truth social does it, Elon's going to do it.
You think those guys got like scammed enough at the last coin? You think they're going to go for it again?
What's the token? What's the Trump token sitting at like 11, 11 bill? Like did it pull back like 95%?
So here's another kind of like, let's,
I'm going to pick the positive out about this. Okay.
So the president announced that he was going to have a meme coin. Right.
And I don't like know the details on how many people were new to crypto
that then just got into crypto because of that meme coin and um but i do know
like statistically even though most of them probably got wrecked because that's how it goes
32 of those people still stayed in crypto after so the amount of people like that the president
brought in like i'm just gonna guess that it was millions of people
32 percent of million of people stayed in crypto like that's what we need we need
we need onboarding from like the normies the the people with mass influence now we need the people
to be legit and like carry their token on but you know like i'm not trying to defend trump or whatever
here but the token's still there it's in an exchange yeah and and those people it still
has normies yeah a lot of those normies that bought into it aren't selling it they just bought
it um because and it's like from the collectible aspect a little bit, but also a collective a collectible and also a way to support something that they like but
They aren't are they're not that tech savvy necessarily those aren't people who are gonna like they are
They are on boarders, and they're gonna immediately take that money and extract and leave that a lot of them
Don't even know how to get their money out of it to be honest
So it is good as good like long term, you know good volume we got homegrown creations in the building
What's up Chrissy? How you doing?
If you haven't had these edibles you guys got to check them out now
go hit over the DMs and ask her to send you a menu.
Go hit over the DMS and ask her to send to you a menu
Hope you're doing well, Chrissy.
Feel free to come up whenever you want,
or if you want to share up anything.
I always got to share your pin, tweet at the very least.
It's great to see this guy.
He looks so blaze holding your edibles.
It's such a good, like, ad.
It's such a good ad.
I'm kind of getting excited though, bro.
Because like, you know, Trump has a collection on Polygon, two or three of them.
And he has his main token on Ethereum.
So, you know, if True Social does have a token, I'm kind of, I'd be leaning, you know, could be Polygon.
Oh, it'll have some massive volume. and it'll be an opportunity for sure.
I wouldn't be holding it long term, but I will definitely get in and get the fuck out real quick.
Absolutely.
Oh, like you'd pick up that true social coin right from the get-go, you think?
Yeah, I would pick it up from the get-go and then jeet the fuck out of it when it launches.
They're not going to be creating anything of value, right?
They're just going to leverage people who are loud.
So it's going to be the ultimate hype coin.
You know what I mean?
This is going to be a hype coin for people who don't know what they're doing,
which means there's going to be a lot of liquidity to take out of it.
You know?
So it could be like, I don't know.
I don't know the details.
I'm just kind of speculating now.
It could be like a reward token that gets people active on the platform.
Yeah.
I mean, just like we've been telling Elon he should have with the Doge and Twitter like why you know
Why are we signed up for a stripe account and getting money in fiat?
Like we should be all getting paid in like an X currency like the X coin the Twitter coin
Like the fact that they haven't already done that is such a huge missed opportunity
missed opportunity because all that transactions from marketing from payment payments of like the
content creators all that volume could be run through a specific exchange and a coin and just
the transaction fees on it alone would pay for the whole infrastructure and setup of it and then
now they own a big supply of their own new token like it would be just but
that's why that's why i get excited because it's not like because it's like blockbuster was like oh
no one will ever stop buying movies they'll always come but it's not until actually like
the competition pulled up and said hey look what we're doing oh that they so what that does is like the competition forces moves
from the the companies yeah yeah absolutely it's gonna be that wake-up moment for everybody who's
not involved in it and then every corporation that gets involved in another blockchain thing
is just there's another another whole board meeting you know goes by where they're like
maybe we should jump into web3 you know like every single time a new token launches or there's another another whole board meeting, you know goes by where they're like maybe we should jump into web free
You know every single time a new token launches or there's another story in the news
And it's just a matter of time when you know after you hear about it three to seven times
The board of directors is gonna start to be like, you know, we've been talking about this enough
When are we gonna actually freaking do it?
100% do it 100 well homegrown are you there i have a feeling her hands are clean she's ready to say hi
hey homegrown hi how's it going not bad i'm actually you want to hear something funny
so i was hanging out with dave in the Puff Panda space But my house was really loud
So I couldn't hear exactly what was going on
On my phone and somewhere in the mix
I must have hit like four buttons
And here I am
I'm like how did I why is Tricky on my phone
And um
And then there you were
And hi everyone
I'm glad to be here it's kind of funny
Well let's tell them
to come over here ma'am they put up this new puff puff panda space i'm like oh so i guess you just
don't want me involved because i've been doing the same space for fucking four years
well here let's go get them what the heck right right like am i supposed to am i supposed to just
join you guys and i would do that too like every once in a while and just consolidate with them.
But, yeah, I don't know what they're thinking.
I don't either.
I'm going right now to go get Dave.
Yeah.
Dave, what the hell?
Yeah, why are you splitting up my space when I've been here for four years?
Like, come on, man.
He's more worried about the pump fund thing that's going to get launched next than adding any real value these days.
I don't know what he's doing.
He's just a gambling DJ right now.
Why can't I?
So your space is weird
and the purple pill is closed.
Yeah, so it's up top.
I'll put it right in the very front again.
Yeah, it happens.
We've got to let's see, the newsletter.
And I keep on trying to make sure I just keep it up top there in the front.
But I have, like, it's been hit and miss.
But for some reason, when this space is scheduled on another device,
if I open it on my phone, just it glitches out like half the time
oh that's annoying yeah yeah I mean that's all right I guess as long as people know to share
the space you know it just it was a little bit easier at one point to go down there and say hey
you know if you don't want to come up and ask questions you can always just type it there in
the purple pill but yeah it's a little harder to find the purple pill now let me go through and see and see
what we got here we got we got some stuff from chum let's go with the weed
address we got some we got a good sorry I put you in in our group chat and also
I sent it to Dave.
Cool. Awesome, awesome.
Yeah, it'd be good for them to come over here.
They could co-host or whatever.
I want to do some things with the Puff Puff Pandas to be honest. I think that it's a good
stoner community and we could
kind of
collab on the weed token.
It's early enough that they could be
one of our, like a good early partner.
And yeah, I mean, why not?
Puff Puff Pandas, will you token?
Dave just
did the
Puff Puff Panda LLC.
So it seems that
Dave and Buzz, I believe,
running with it.
Yeah, they are definitely the two biggest holders
of that project.
I wonder if
BK still has a big gang of
pandas or if he's already kind of gotten out.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Yeah, we got Moonbeam.
What's up, Moonbeam?
I found out the information.
Steven Crowder is the
top-est earner on Rumble.
He's made $7.5 million from
Mug Club since
2023. The average
payout per 1,000 views
hovers around $10.
But yeah, $10.
But yeah, $7.5 million, that's a pretty good one.
What are you talking about, Moon?
Rumble.
Well, if you get some experience with it,
and you know for sure, that'd be interesting.
But I don't like to look at the stats.
I don't want to send people to new platforms
that I don't know anything no i i'm
that's why you have to look them up but it's it's awesome because it has news um live coverage news
it has um like people like homegrowns showing people how to cook different recipes and their
live streams they could be subscriptions and his the mug club which he's had since 2023 he's made 7.5 million and then you have people
that do like scary things or whatever it's like a different kind of youtube but you get paid i mean
yeah they all say that they're gonna they're gonna basically do that it's a it sounds like
another right right right right i was just giving you a new until it actually has proof i don't want
to hear about it you You know what I mean?
You can't just talk about the news platform because they're usually a waste of time.
So I don't want to leave people down this path if it is going to be a waste of time.
If you go through and do it and you say, hey, I only spent a little bit of time on this and I got this much money, then I would be all ears.
But you don't need to like, just because you heard about it doesn't mean we need to like tell everybody
about it you know what I mean? No it's not
that I heard about it I'm on the platform
and it is a real platform
like YouTube and whether you would
make money or not you get a lot of
marketing on there and it's not just
news it's everything it's just
like YouTube but
it's not so
even whether I make money or not I like the
platform because I'm getting the views of the I opened it up yesterday for Pete.
Well exactly so then you're still a little bit but I'm not on it to make
still a little too early to be telling people about it Moon you got to make sure
it's even legit first okay all right now moving on to the next thing. Don't tell us about it again.
Gotta keep people safe here. And I don't want people wasting their time with stuff.
There's always a new platform coming out, you know? And they all want to, like,
influencer marketing is how everything's being sold these days. Like, all the major companies
know that. They want to get us to talk about it to our friends because the typical marketing avenues
are super, super expensive and then not as effective.
Social media is where everything is marketed now.
Yes, but I'm not on it to make money. I wanted that to be clear.
I wasn't telling you to make money. It's social marketing. That's what I was trying to say.
I apologize if you got it wrong.
But yeah.
Well, if it's not marketing, if I've never heard of it, that's not really helpful, right?
I mean, Tricky, you haven't heard of everything.
It's a new platform and it's really cool.
Yeah.
I mean, I just gave you...
Okay.
Moon.
Fuck.
I don't care.
I just don't care.
Okay.
If you have a good go-to plan, I want to listen.
But a brand new thing that you haven't researched enough yet isn't something I'm going to be putting out and talking to people about.
All right?
That's fine if you're liking it for whatever in your spare time.
But that's just not the point.
That's just not the point, okay?
Okay?
I just want people to have the best use of their time.
I'm always trying to figure out how to do things more efficiently.
And so many of these platforms end up being a crazy waste of time.
Remember when Facebook first came out and there wasn't any monetization.
It was just sharing stuff with your grandparents, right?
And now they've got a whole monetization. It was just like sharing stuff with your grandparents, right? And now
they've got a whole monetization side of it. And for certain subjects, people actually make some
good money over there, right? But is it worth your time? Well, that all depends on what kind
of content you're making. Because I know people over there were making political posts and they're
actually getting a good amount of money, but what's the benefit?
It's not an enjoyable experience over there, and it's not necessarily selling anything or making money off of any specific thing.
It's just using the platform, and the platform's rewarding you for engaging on the platform.
But yeah, there's lots of different types of platforms, and it's tough for people to find out which is the ideal ideal one for them like chum wizard for example is making art i say well there's visual platforms that are going to
lend more to exposing people or exposure for for like visual platforms like for for artists like
tick tock is great for those process videos instagram is good for visuals um but what's
the best use your time maybe maybe x isn't the best use of your time for your brand, but it's good for your community, right?
EAC, you got your hand up? Go right ahead.
Yeah, I wanted to talk about Facebook for a second because it's actually funny how it started.
It was for college kids to connect, and it wasn't for old people at all and now
it's transitioned to that young people aren't on it at all and it's only for old people
yeah they keep on trying to re like revamp it every once in a while but
that's still it's still home base for my grandparents
are you uh over there on on facebook at all yacy It's still home base for my grandparents.
Are you over there on Facebook at all, Yacy?
So I actually, like, so I mean, I had a Facebook for the longest time, and, you know, it was kind of like, I still use it for Messenger, which is still, because my mom mess messaged me on messenger and we don't have a phone bill we can talk we can video and it's so that's way more convenient and I used
to have it kind of like I'd use it for like because people think that if you have your friends
on Facebook like your friends in real life and it's more of a kind of personal relationship. So
I would I take advantage of that for like my own business relationships, where if I added a customer,
they think that, oh, there's a more personal connection there, we must be friends in real life.
Like I never really shared personal stuff. And I never believed in like like taking a photo of my daughter's whole life growing up and posting it on a platform where they own the images and can use those images for anything they want.
Because later in life, I think that will be a huge mistake.
We used to think that everything on the Internet lasts forever.
And that's not the case.
And that's why blockchain is good because actually a lot of
information gets deleted but uh the certain information that you want to get deleted like
all those pictures of you um that you posted on facebook uh even if you delete your account or
whatever they're not actually ever deleted facebook has a record of those and they keep those and uh
they can use those for
whatever they want to sell them to China. You could be for advertising. It's all in their,
like their rules. And yeah, so I deleted my Facebook account.
That's, that's pretty funny. So I have a couple of different Facebook accounts because they're
registered to different Google, uh, Gmails and stuff like that, but also my original one was literally just to talk to grandma. I like
to share pictures with family. When I launched my collection, I didn't have a presence on social
media at first. I literally just broke it all into being an advocate and a founder at the same time.
So there was absolutely, I think I had like 200 followers on Facebook.
That was the extent of my social media footprint when I started this in 2021. So it's pretty
crazy to go from zero social media in 2021 to like, to where I'm at now. It's a crazy
change. We've got some hands up. Let's say hi to Ruth because Ruth is new here on stage.
How you doing, Ruth?
Yeah, hi, everyone. So, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
It's actually an interesting topic.
I heard you guys talking about Facebook and you mentioned it's a place for old people.
And I'm kind of shocked because I actually use Facebook a lot.
I mean, more of just interacting
i mean there's a lot of funny memes in facebook i just watch and my algorithm is actually very
funny and silly so i don't know so i'm kind of shocked that like wow people really think it's
for old people and sometimes though yeah i go through the comments and, yeah, people, old people really do post their, yeah, opinions and stuff.
And it might be a little bit of difference in cultures too, right?
Different countries will use one more than the other, just kind of when they started to adopt it.
So I noticed, like, America, like, the East Coast will be very up on the newest tech.
Whatever the newest thing is, that's kind of what they're all about.
And then you go towards the middle of America,
and they're really big on the technology that was like two to six years ago.
That stuff has been fully adopted.
And then other countries, sometimes they'll have test markets,
and so you'll have these little pockets of people that are really gung-ho
about social media or a restaurant or something like that because they were in a test market.
But, yeah, it's interesting.
So, like, what do you think is, like, the display or the breakup for social media?
Like, around your immediate, like, neighbors and stuff, what percentage are they on Facebook?
What percentage do you think are on, like, Twitter?
Where are they most of the time?
Yeah, if I go towards the old people, more of Facebook and WhatsApp, that is for old people.
The young people like me, it's more of X, Twitter and Instagram. Yeah, from where I'm from, yeah.
Yeah, so it's still where I'm from, yeah.
Yeah, so it's still very much just split up
based off of age range more than anything.
So I think it just comes to like what platform,
you know, the different generations feel comfortable with.
You know, it maybe the platforms look simpler
or they look more like the way they thought,
they saw the internet when they were first getting into the internet.
So it like, it looks like the best visual saw the internet when they were first getting into the internet. So it looks like the best
visual option for them.
They just feel comfortable with it and they don't
change. That happens a lot too.
Interesting. I appreciate you
coming up.
Are you
an artist? Are you a builder?
What are you doing like in Web3
or on Twitter in general?
Building a brand?
Yeah, I'm just building a brand and also building a product.
I wanted to show myself.
I saw you have like kind of an opinion towards a new platform.
But anyways.
Yeah.
If it's a new platform and you're building it then i want to hear about it right we don't
want to i don't like to to talk about things that i have no idea if it's going to be good or bad or
safe or anything like that but if i can ask the person who's building it questions that's valuable
right so like i want to hear about what you're building or what you're involved with but um
you know the latest advertisement you saw doesn't necessarily
isn't the the ideal topic of conversation here you know what I mean but if you're building
something or you know the people that are making a platform those are the people I want to talk to
yeah cool cool cool okay so let me just um quickly go through what I'm building. So I shared it on the Jobotron. It's called
Tracing. It's a new idea, actually. It's more of a cleaner way to follow Web Theory because
if you've been in Web Theory on X for long, it's a very confusing way to actually follow Web2 updates because X is a general feed,
both Web2 activities, Web3 activities.
And if you're not careful,
your algorithms would not be catching
like the latest updates.
It's a kind of a disadvantage of X.
So I and my friend, we brought up an idea
of actually building a WebTV discovery platform that users can actually just find WebTV updates,
events, job opportunities, and some other stuff that we'll
stick looking up.
So let me not bore you guys with the boring details.
But yeah, that's basically what we're building.
And so far, progress has been good um we
got a grant from supporting canada i'm based in canada so i got a grant from them and we're still
working towards participating in this learner mobile akaton i don't know if you guys are like
up to date on that it's an an Akaton that started July 1st.
It's ending August 4th.
So, yeah, we are participating on that as well.
So, yeah, that's just a summary of basically what I'm doing on the space.
Yeah.
So, what does that vetting process look like to get people involved?
What?
I didn't get a question.
Yeah, what's the vetting process look like to get involved?
Like if you want, if there's people who are looking to get involved,
like always you say you've got like jobs from verified Web3 projects.
So how would a Web3 project get involved in order to verify themselves?
Okay, so it so for the MVP,
we're going for a very simple
vetting process.
So if you're a project
and you want to sign up on the platform,
you give details like
your project name,
your white paper,
your team info,
and your ex as well.
So it's more of a manual betting process, actually.
So someone will go through everything,
probably contact you on X, ask you some questions,
and if it's all good, they add you to the platform.
So it's a manual stuff for now.
I think it's best to make sure we're doing the job the right way.
Yeah, what kind of thresholds do people need to reach
before they can be considered for, to be vetted?
There's like a certain size of a Twitter account
or certain social media size
or certain traffic through their website?
Well, our version process is not based on X
because I feel X followers is something that can easily be bought.
I don't really base it on that.
I just need to see your white paper, see your plan, and probably have a conversation with you to get to know your project more.
I just need to know that what you're building is actually something reasonable, not X followers.
All those can be bought easily. that what you're building is actually something reasonable, not explorers or stuff.
All those are bought and bought it easily.
Gotcha.
So there's no automatic thresholds that they need to worry about.
It's just they're building something real.
They got a white paper.
Then you're open to have a conversation.
Yes.
Yeah.
Cool.
And you said you're in Canada?
Yes, I am in Canada right now. yeah. Cool. Are you east or west?
I'm based in TI, Prisadol Island. I don't know if you know. It's a small province in Canada.
So it's like 6.15 over there?
Yeah, yeah. 614 actually.
Yeah.
That's my like hidden talent.
I can tell you what time it is in the world.
Even from some places I haven't been.
I'm like, I think that is over here.
All right, cool.
Well, that's awesome.
I appreciate you coming up and talking to us about it.
You said you've got some stuff you shared up top.
I definitely want to look more into it.
And feel free to come by these spaces.
Crypto Fam Radio is always going to be doing interviews, and we've got lots of space hosts.
So you'll be able to meet more people coming through here.
Also, all my spaces.
I do tons of spaces where if I'm not live from four to six doing my own space, I'm probably in two or three or four other spaces on stage mingling, learning.
That's what's up.
You keep showing up.
You'll find all the cool people.
It's just a matter of time.
I appreciate it. Yeah, thanks very much for having me.
Awesome. Anything else you want to share having me here, yeah. Awesome.
Anything else you want to share, feel free to go up there.
How did you get into Web3?
What was the push that led you towards doing this?
Well, my push was actually to the NFTs.
If you go into my profile, I'm an NFT analyst.
So, yeah, NFTs actually drew me into Web3.
I started back in 2023 and I've been years since just NFT-based.
But I'm trying to build these products, which all my friends are actually doing.
But more of the NFTs.
So I saw an NFT on Facebook.
So more reason why I'm more inclined on Facebook I actually saw an NFT on Facebook back in 2023
it was nice and I wanted to know more about it so
I opened my ex account not this one though it's a past one that got
suspended and I just started building and yeah it's been interesting too yeah that's my journey
basically that's cool I've um I always like to ask why people got involved in this because some
people just seem to like luck into it like oh I met this guy and he you know his name was Satoshi
Nakamoto and you know he
decided to be friends or you know you should never know if it's like one of those stories like you
just got really lucky and found it at the right time or uh you know some people have just i was
building this and that led me down this rabbit hole and then that led into this and now here i
am that kind of thing so that's how it happened for me like i saw stocks and i was trading stocks
and stuff like that and i was trying to read the market and day trade and stuff like that. And I
saw how volatile it was over in the crypto market. And at first I was kind of thinking of like a
foreign currency kind of crossed with like a penny stock, right? Like we got super small valuations,
very risky, but lots of volatility. And then I started looking into it more, and I was like, well, yeah, it's volatile.
But I think overall, I'm bullish on the technology.
And that's when I started just to scoop up random cryptos.
And man, never looked back.
That was 2016 when I started.
In 2021, I started the DeFi Space Donkeys Club for lovers of crypto and NFTs.
If you love crypto and NFTs, you are a DeFi Space Donkey.
If you look on Urban Dictionary, a Space Donkey is someone who won't get off drugs.
So a DeFi Space Donkey is someone who won't get off the blockchain.
We are blockchain addicts.
I love it.
Yeah, you'll see us around.
Lots of spaces, more and more events. Shout out to MetaRides down there in the audience. I love it. Yeah, you'll see us around.
Lots of spaces, more and more events.
Shout out to MetaRides down there in the audience.
As seen in Forbes magazine.
Absolute legends.
It's great to see Hermine Goof at these events too.
If you haven't seen the recent MetaRides,
you definitely got to go check out some really clean art by goof um i've
just so many of them that i've just been seeing that are just absolutely amazing and the rogue
bunnies avatars look great too a lot of detail like they did a phenomenal job i'll share it up
top so you guys can see what i'm talking about yeah give it a look yeah Ruth I'm actually from Summerside
small world right
it's always a small world I'm from some ice I actually didn't get a person said
that the AC oh really that's cool Like I live in Charlotte house. So much had some outside and Charlotte towns actually pretty close by. That's cool, actually.
You just never know. There'll be some people we'll be talking to and like, it's cool because they're from the other side of the world or you get into another room. You're like, man, you never know where you're going to meet people from. And this guy's like three doors down from your house. You're like, what? You just never
know. I had a couple of friends last year I met and then they were like, yeah, I'm going to go to,
I'm going to go to Chili's. And he said something about like a goat, like a hope to school,
something isn't like got a bunch of traffic. And I was like, you're talking about the Chili's
right next to Full Sail, like in Orlando, Florida, right?
Like, that's the only one that I can visualize what you're talking about.
And he goes, wait, are you in Florida?
And I was like, oh, my God, I'm like one street north of that main street.
And he was one street south of that main street, like on the same crossroad, basically.
I was like, that is that is wild.
What are the chances?
Pretty good.
So you got another event lined up, bro?
Yeah, man.
Okay, so we've got the Tricky Birthday event, which is coming up on August 16th.
There will be massive giveaways.
I'll be talking about that event leading up to it.
And it's going to be mainly virtual, but all the DeFi space donkeys,
anyone who loves crypto and NFTs, you can come through and hopefully everybody wins something.
I think it'll probably be something like that.
Last year, everybody who showed up had the opportunity to claim something.
So I want to do that again.
Hopefully, maybe we'll break a thousand viewers this time.
viewers this time. I think we had 615 last birthday party.
I think we had 615 last birthday party.
But yeah, I'm turning 41, and also
it's the fourth annual DeFi Space Donkeys event.
So definitely going to be fun.
After that, I think we're going to be doing Art Basel in Miami.
So that'll be a good thing to do, because since I am local to Florida,
I'll plan out a good Miami
vacation and see who wants to do that. And then after that, probably East Denver. So those are
the next three events we're going to be doing, I think. Yeah, I'll be coming up with some different
packages for sponsors and stuff like that and figure out what we're going to do for all those because there'll be different situations.
Like in Florida, I can have lots of merch because I'm local.
If I go to East Denver, I got to travel a little bit lighter.
But yeah, definitely more events coming.
You know I can't stop.
And these events are so much fun.
Did you end up with any merch left over
or like were you able to give like the right amount i have a little bit of stickers from you
still um i have a couple bracelets i have a couple shirts from the weed token and that's it like i
went through most of the stickers if not all all the stickers, like for everybody else, you sent a lot of stickers, though. So I have a couple of rolls of stickers that I wasn't even able to get to that next roll. So you have a couple you have you're good for stickers for probably a little bit. I could send them back to. Just give them out. Exactly. It's not worth the shipping.
I'll send out those stickers whenever I send out a merch package or I ship out tea.
People will be getting those stickers for a while.
That'll be good continued advertising.
People like stickers.
That's cool.
Yeah, absolutely.
It'd be good to think about the next event for sure like if that's miami um yeah think of some stuff like oh man i guess one just popped in my head but
probably be expensive shades you know what the the glasses that the defFi space donkeys are wearing would be really cool to remake, right?
With these kind of colored lenses that made the world all different colors.
Yeah, like mob glasses.
Yeah, yeah.
But exactly like the color on the face of the donkey right here.
So it just waves from one color to the next as it goes left to right.
I think that would be a lot of fun. I can get behind
EAC NFT
on one side and Space Donkeys on the
other. Right, like on the
actual stem of the glasses.
Yeah, yeah.
Your piece. That would be dope.
What's up, Ruth? Go ahead.
Yeah, I saw
you pinned
Minter rights on the Dragotron. So I yeah, I saw you pinned MetaRides on the
Dragotron. So,
I'm interested to know, like, what
is the utility
behind the projects?
What are they offering? I see they have a match.
Is that just a utility?
I'm just curious.
Yeah, maybe MetaRides would come up
and give us a little bit of the alpha
here, that there are cars that you can drive in a game.
The idea being a car that you can take from one metaverse to the other.
There's different avatars.
So those are the avatars for rogue bunnies.
So you can actually play as a rogue bunny.
And yeah, there's different cars based off of different collections and sponsors and
stuff like that coming out.
So they have a Tootsie Roll brand sponsorship right now with Tootsie Roll.
It's pretty awesome, the candy.
And Rogue Bunnies was the Playmates, which was their last one.
And I think there's going to be some more collaborations coming soon.
I can see special meta rides for each project. Maybe we could also possibly do some
Competitions between communities, you know using their own car
There's a lot of potential I think coming forward especially with you know more web 3 games and more meta verses becoming operational
I'm not sure exactly where they're at with their interoperability and what they're currently working on as far as collabs go
But maybe they want to come up. You're always welcome to come up meta rides
But yeah, definitely give them a give them a look check out their meta rides on open sea or
Magic Eden or whatever, you know, whatever you like to use
They look nice. They look really cool. Goof does the artist. He did an amazing job making these look just very professional looking.
And they look like future concept cars.
You know, they look great.
Yeah, definitely.
They really look nice.
I'm actually checking them out on OpenSea.
And, yeah, I like what I'm saying, basically.
And Utility talked about cars from one metaverse to the other.
And I'm like, wow, blown away.
So, yeah, I would definitely like digging into the building.
But yeah, thanks for the summary, though.
Thanks.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I talk about a lot of projects that I like.
And every once in a while, people will come to me and be like, hey, I want to buy a video or blah blah blah and I'm like all right well who are you though
okay I only talk about the people that I know and like and then if I can find
them opportunities to get them more exposure I present that to them but I
don't just take money to talk about hey you know like tricky is not for sale but
you can't hire him You know what I mean?
I don't, I can't, I'm going to sell my opinion, but if I like your product, I'll offer all kinds
of different examples and find collaborations and stuff like that too. Because I want to see
all the good people come together and win too, right? And if we all work together, rising tide
raises all ships. So I'm bullish on the people I see building here
around me for the last couple of years. And Net Arise has been there. We've been,
I'd say we've been fairly close for the last couple of years. I've signed the NDA. So I've got,
I'm behind the curtain of hearing some of the things that can't go public yet. And we've gotten to hang out IRL at NFT NYC.
Dad took me out to dinner, I think, last time,
and this time, this last month or whatever,
we did get to hang out a little bit.
Not as much as we did last time, but it was hectic, man. I know I went to like 25 different events.
I'd be curious to hear how many events you went to in the end, MetaRides.
It was definitely packed
there's so much going on in nyc like it was the first time i did nft nyc i got to like 15 different
uh side events and i was like wow this is that this is intense i don't think i could possibly
cram more into my day um and then i somehow did i got to like 25 different you know events or bars or
you know side events this last time oh did that one ever plan out where the guy was gonna get
into some after party um you know what i don't think so it's it's kind of tough because i went
to a bunch of after parties that I was like on list for
and I don't remember like which one was which if that makes any sense you know like I remember
going to a couple after parties and being like well I'm on the list but like I don't like I
don't know where I was at the time it was just absolute chaos so I know what you're talking
about though um Celestial uh was the guy and yeah I don't know
if I went to that one or not but also I might have there was a couple like these rooftop parties
that were just like epic um super packed everywhere you look was like a web3 legend
I ran into peanut there and like a couple other people I ran into Katie McGee
peanut and Oh, there's a whole bunch of people that you know, we've seen in our community. This is cool
Hey, what up gamble? Hope you're doing good
Yeah, feel free to come up though
Anyone want to come up and share or if you've got any questions web 3 related brand growth
You know, this is we pretty much much do AMAs whenever I'm on top. I like to have
a variety of different subjects if possible. Keeps us all from getting bored. Keeps us engaged.
Your mind's always thinking about some other tangent when you come into our spaces because
we'll cover a bunch of different subjects. But yeah, I love it. I mean, I'm sorry, Trey. I don't
know why people won't listen more. People need to freaking get their stuff together. There's so many people in this space, it's hard to know who to trust. And then sometimes people just don't want confrontation and they avoid confrontation to like, you know, to the point where you're almost, it's almost like criminal at a certain point. Like if you're, if you know someone's full of shit
and you don't call them out,
then like your friend's going to kind of
going to go over there and get scammed, right?
Like, so you got to call people out sometimes.
And I understand people don't want to cause drama
and they don't want to pick a fight,
but at a certain point, it doesn't matter.
You've got to like, just knock the Nazi out,
you know, type of shit.
But yeah, I'm not saying any names or picking on anyone in particular and it's not
even that serious i'm just like you're just saying like you gotta you gotta stand up for
what's right sometimes um wasn't there some um nyc drama yeah there was. Only with me. Yeah, sometimes you have to stand up and just say what's right.
I agree with you, Cherky.
Yeah, it won't make you popular, but it'll be better in the end, better in the long run.
Yeah, we had a couple different things where there was some drama unfolding,
and Homegrown was definitely into part of that.
There were like three different issues but
i was definitely caught up in a couple of them they they weren't like blaming me for it but i
was like i was negatively affected by the fact that like they're all fighting over bullshit that
didn't make any sense you know like i mean could you imagine like being a sponsor for like two or
three grand and telling you know your partners to show up and then you show up and your partners aren't allowed to do what they're like?
They're not allowed to sell their products.
They're not allowed to bring anything.
You thought you were getting drinks and food and there's no food.
There's no drinks.
There's no nothing.
There's no customers.
You're literally just sitting there with your friends like, what we doing here why did we pay for this we could all gone to a club man
and that's what we're gonna do next time i'm gonna just throw back absolutely i'm just gonna
throw this next time next time i'm gonna go hang out with joe um mighty joe and in front of his place
and just work the sidewalk i'll get more done that way oh my god you would do so good just
working the sidewalk in a i mean on it you really don't really you can he lives in the neighborhood
with a michelin star restaurant you just gotta stand on the sidewalk with your products yeah places no for real like you'd be surprised that actually works like a um
sent a kid out waving a sign on a street and it got customers in the door you could just literally
follow me around and as i tell people no i don't have anything you could approach them and say hey
i got you just seriously they know me so well in these events now.
They're just like, oh, he's got something to burn.
Hey, you want to burn?
Like, no, I don't got anything.
And I can walk away.
And you could be like, hey, would you like a tea?
Yeah, we're going to have to organize more events going forward.
That Zautela was so crazy, like epic for, you know what I mean?
If we can hire some actual local advertisers, like club promoters and stuff like that,
I mean, I don't know why that isn't already a thing.
But, like, that's what you do when you have a club in Miami or a club in, you know,
like, you get a couple of VIP people, you go out and like hand out some flyers, you go to some, some bars or some other clubs and you try
to find some people with some good energy and bring them into your club. Like that's what you
got to do. You know, you give away some tickets to some people you might, you think would be fun
and you charge at the door and then boom, all of a sudden the party's popping. There's a line
around the door and you've got money to, to money to you know buy drinks and everything that you need to do
But it's just to show up some of these web 3 events and be like there where are the people at like I know
We're not like I know there's not a lot of people who are just tech advocates, right?
But at the same time it's like if it's a music festival like there are a lot of people who were like that music like
Astro and a couple of the other events I went to I was like this should be like ten times a lot of people who were like that music like um astro and a couple of
the other events i went to i was like this should be like 10 times the amount of people here you
know it's great music like that that thing with binks man the songs were amazing all the all the
artists were killer and it was like it was a small gathering like all considering you know i actually
had some of the best results actually at that little event than I had at a lot of larger events.
I sold a good amount of merch and tea and all kinds of stuff.
I actually, you know, came out profitable.
But, man, there should have been more people there.
I think that would have been so much fun.
would have been so much fun yeah that's interesting like um so what are you saying that uh not a lot
That's interesting.
of people showed up to the events because they were advertised as crypto events and the people
that did show up were people selling stuff yeah and not the people not anyone buying it so it
shouldn't have been marketed as a web 3 event exactly should never be, it should never have been marketed as a web three event.
You know,
like,
so you shouldn't be going to web three events.
We should be going to events.
You should be going to that are web two that have the same market for web three
friendly events is the,
is the issue,
right?
You don't want to go to a specific web three.
Like it's like, you wouldn't want to go to, if you were a business,
you wouldn't want to go to a specific cannabis event maybe because it's not
in tune with your brand,
but you still want to go to a cannabis friendly thing because that's what the
population is. Right. So like.
That's part of it is you want to be, you want to go to the people you want to be,
you want to be where the people are, what, whatever people you're talking about, you have to go to them in their space. So you can't just expect them to come do your boring thing and, um, like it, you know what I mean? You got to make it.
like it you know what i mean you gotta make it yeah if they were gonna buy our web3 products
they probably already met us and did that you know what i mean so so who are your who's your
target market for this event well it's mass adoption we need to bring in the party well
who's so your your audience is party people who have some expendable income and would enjoy the
performance it's but we are we are so focused on the tech and what we're building that, like, you know what I
mean?
It's kind of the difference between, like, an accounting conference and, like, an entrepreneurship
conference, right?
Oh, my gosh.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
I was like, you know how, like, they get those little those little like groups of people come in and talk about loans. Yeah. And you're like, oh, this fucking sucks. But at least they took like I get a free meal out of it. Yeah. Well, you want to offer them like pure entertainment and a meal. Yeah. And it's like you like want to bring in the band. They like, you want to like, make sure you've got all the advertisers they like. Yeah.
Let's try to figure this out. Like, was there, was there an event that,
that had, what was the one that had the most, like,
what would the best results? What one was it?
Well, it depends on what you were looking for. Right.
But like I'm into both aspects of like the the irl aspects but also into the tech but if you're if you go there
and you're into the tech and you hear people speak on the tech you know you're satisfied
but if you go there expecting the tech and it's just a concert then you would be like well i wanted
to know more about the technology right well then Well, then that's us. We want to know about the tech, but the average people who show up,
they want to know about, like, they want to have fun. They want to enjoy the music. They want to
see what it is we're building. And they don't really care about the details on how it functions
in the backend. They just want to know what it is that we're making.
But what was the event that you, oh, well, well, NFTM would be the leading event
for the tech side of it.
As far as music side goes,
Binks thing who had the best performers.
Who's did?
Binks.
Third Band Studios.
Oh, okay.
Right on.
I got to meet them
the weekend after, actually.
And yeah,
she has a bunch of DJs and stuff.
The music was good. anyway like i enjoyed myself at my table like listening to all the music i was like this is like this is
sick like i liked almost from my point of view as not like a like a like i'm not like deep into web 3 but from my point of view the best mix of the uh entertainment
versus the techie thing was like where my brand met up with the video games and the music
and that seemed to be like the like golden triangle and that's exactly why i support home sorry what what event was that where
video games and music um i i did the red man um free the green gaming tournament at the very
beginning of the week and that's or wednesday and this is why i'm so bullish on homegrown because
homegrown isn't selling a tech product she's she is web3 friendly but she's not here selling web3
she has an actual good product and just happens to be able to utilize the tech so we like her
because she's utilizing the tech but we're not drawn towards homegrown because she's a web3
anything you know what i mean and those are the people we need to all bring together we need to
bring together everybody who possible who could add value to the party and then be like, hey, by the way, you should also be Web3 friendly because these guys are all Web3 friendly.
And if you accept crypto as payments, you might have more sales.
Now we've onboarded those actual IRL businesses.
Plus, we didn't like corner ourselves or pin ourselves into a position where we're only advertising to techies.
So did that actually work though?
Like I know video gamers would obviously love to have editables,
but did any of, did you,
were you able to kind of sell any of them on the web three part of it?
Or is it just.
Yeah.
Cause they saw maybe that maybe homegrown had some good edibles and that
necessarily there wasn't the requirement to be Web3.
But if you were Web3, you were accommodated.
And the other people were all big into video games.
And video games are a huge part of Web3.
And you've kind of gamified your experience too.
So they love the aliens and they love the gamification of stuff.
gamification of stuff like that no but here's the problem that i run into like if i was to go
No, but here's the problem that I run into.
on to playstation and to just talk to the web 2 gamers and tell them about a dow and uh eac token
like they'll literally tell me to go kill myself yeah like they glaze over they have no idea what
you're talking about and they think you're probably just full of shit yeah because but that's the thing is if you could have talked about it with the different words and it'd be okay
Like if you if you were to explain to them
You know we can save our characters with this new this new encryption
Basically, we can own stuff in the game now like it's and it's all it's all encrypted
It's that way people can't cheat but like it's all on the internet. Now you can own that gun you dropped.
You can upgrade that gun and sell that gun you dropped.
And maybe if all of our raid group...
I can tell on the concept of that, but if they can't play the game that has that, then yeah.
Right now, I have a market.
I'm built for a market that doesn't exist.
There's no DAO systems in gaming yet as it is, right?
But it kind of like, imagine Destiny, where your whole raid squad has to vote to decide
which mission are we going on, right?
Now, right now, we do that in the back end, like, you know, just talking over mics.
But what if we spoke different languages?
What if we wanted to incorporate all the mechanics into the game system so you could vote in the game?
Well, how would you do that?
You'd have to have everybody have a vote.
Well, that's what a DAO is.
It's just a method of registering the vote.
So being part of the DAO is like being part of the board of directors or being part of the video game where you have one vote.
That's what it is.
So, like, right right now this is the challenge
that i have like um i'm gonna make the website so it's like completely like on normie like a normie
it'll step you through like step by step download a meta mask um then go to open c like so someone
that completely knows nothing about web 3 can can. But the challenge that I have, man,
is really like I spend the time reaching out to people,
and the only people that I can successfully onboard, really,
for the time that I spend is people that are already in Web3.
I have to this day never successfully onboarded someone into Web3 from Web2.
That means that you're using lingo that is appealing to the Web3 people and is not appealing to the Web2 people.
That's what that means, right?
Okay, yeah, for sure.
You have stuff that is appealing to them.
You just haven't communicated that in the most effective way.
So currently, you're getting more of the Web3 tech people because they already understand what you're saying right so that's but i mean i guess that's super challenging how do i onboard a web2
user to download a metamask wallet like at that point you've already talked web3 lingo at the
first step no you and that's the thing is you so when you first get people started you don't get
them in a wallet you get them in like a just it's verified to their email you know once they have once they have been playing
the game and they have maybe upgraded a character and now this asset this character is actually
worth something maybe now it's worth 10 bucks or 100 bucks or whatever it gets to a certain point
where that character has been upgraded and now it's worth it to secure that value by having your own custodial wallet, maybe.
Right.
But you don't even want to talk about that stuff until like until they're thinking, wait, how do I make sure I don't lose my character?
You know, until they have that thought, there's no reason for them to be downloading a MetaMask or anything like that.
Right.
That's a specific like investment tool for owning this technology.
And most people aren't ready for it.
Or they never will be ready for it.
They never will be able to just hear that tech and be attracted to the tech.
They're going to be attracted to the game or the music.
If they see what your game is doing and they like the art,
there are people who just like seeing all the different aliens.
And that's enough for them to go visit the Discord
and check out what you're doing.
But yeah, it's all about appealing to the masses, right?
Go ahead, Ruth.
Yeah, so if you simplify everything,
isn't that Oryx is going to throw off
experience for three users when you go back to the platform like Orix is going to throw off like experienced Web3 users
when you go back to the platform and doing like,
this isn't giving Web3 vibes and it does like,
I'm not interested in this and it just go off
because I feel experienced Web3 user coming
and didn't see in Connectable Atoldina Martins to see.
Isn't that a risk to take?
I'm sorry.
I didn't quite understand what you were asking there.
Like, you were talking about how to, like,
simplify the words and make sure your game is easy
for Web2 users.
But, like, I'm, like, thinking, okay,
what about the web experience, web 3 users if they come into
your game and you see that um it's not giving the web 3 vibes they were looking for i mean isn't
that a risk to actually think about i don't think so i'm gonna have many people that are gonna say
i they're gonna be like sent off by you appealing to the web2. You're just focusing on the actual fun, the meat of what it is that you're building.
People who are into Web3 aren't going to come in and say,
you didn't use enough Web3 words. I'm out.
They're going to say, do you utilize the Web3 tech?
Okay, cool. That's it. The checkmark. That's it.
I like to hear about how the tech is working because I like to know how things work.
But the average person, they don't care.
They want to know, is the game fun?
Is the music good?
Does this get me a discount on something I was going to buy anyway?
You know, well, what makes it worth it?
What makes it worth my time to go forward and to invest my time into this?
And there has to be some kind of benefit, whether it's a cost savings or a new
feature or a new experience, there has to be something in it for them. I would say too,
like there's, there's web through users, right? There's gamers. They're two different, completely
different people. There's some crossover, but then that crossover is like minimal like you're talking
about you're a niche inside a niche so finding the web3 gamers is like there's not even enough
of them to sustain a game web3 users are people who are looking to invest into a project they
don't care about the project and they're looking to cheat it and make a bag.
That's the game they're playing.
Like all power to it, like whatever,
go make a bag, make money.
But those aren't the people that like sustain a project
and make it good.
You need to, and I'm talking about a game.
The people that grind Grand Theft Auto and don't care,
they just want to have fun. Those are the people that sustain that game. They're not, and don't care, they just want to have fun.
Those are the people that sustain that game.
They don't care about Web 2.
They're spending massive amounts of money on a game for digital assets that they don't even own.
Until that bridge comes where there's an actual game that's Web 3, that's the challenge I'm in right now.
And Grand Theft Auto being a metaverse and having an in-game currency where you get dollars that you had to spend on guns or cars, or you can sell a car and you can get money.
Well, that money, whatever that denomination is,
it doesn't need to be in U.S. dollars.
It could be in USD, you know, stablecoin,
or it could be, which might be easier for each individual country to have it in their local native stablecoin,
or they could have literally their own token.
And then there's always going to be a value
of what that token is worth on the open market,
either from transfers or from selling it.
You know, sometimes in-game currency can become more valuable
than the underlying assets if there's so much demand
that there's a limited on the supply.
But if you have a limited supply...
So right now, like...
Yeah, go ahead.
Well, like right now that you do have like so you you you buy rockstar uh game cards and
you you get like money and and can buy cards so like there's already you're already paying money
for a digital digital currency it's just not on chain and uh like why would rockstar want to put
it on chain they don't want that means less money for them um so it takes
but it's going to take someone that of their magnitude to change the game well and this is
what they need to understand is that currently as a business you get paid per clicks going through
your website you can charge for higher more advertising with more clicks right well imagine
every transaction is also like a click.
Now, they have these transactions happen right now
on a centralized exchange with like V-Bucks, for example.
You got the money going in,
but we don't know where that money exactly is being spent,
and we don't know how many clicks you're really getting, right?
But basically, by putting it on the chain,
you're kind of like you're separating it,
and now it's a measurable amount of clicks.
So now you can actually show that there's marketing value in that chain functioning and having transactions process.
Plus, you're building consistency and value on that chain where you can actually deploy your own digital asset.
So you're growing your own digital asset, but you're also increasing the number of clicks
to your website. You're increasing the number of transactions. You're increasing the time people
spend on your platform. Those are all metrics that advertisers use to decide where they're
going to put their marketing money. But do you think it came down to this? If Rockstar
put a token on chain, would they make more money or less money?
They would make more money, but they would perceive to be less.
Now, the reason why it would be perceived to be less is because now that there's secondary
sales, which immediately right off the bat, there wouldn't be a whole lot of secondary
sales because like only 1% of 1% are the tech savvy, like Web3 people.
And we would want to like do that and we would want to do that.
We would want to upgrade and sell things, right?
But the average person isn't going to.
And currently, they sell a skin,
and then they have an unlimited number of skins.
So everyone's buying the skin for $1 or $2.
Now, if it was a secondary market,
people might be selling them for $0.50
or for a fraction of a penny
just to try to get some value back so they can buy the next skin.
But that is all traffic.
More traffic is more ad revenue, you know, and that's just the simplest way of putting it.
Like just from the advertisements perspective, I think it could be worth it just by those metrics alone.
If that makes sense.
All right, put together a pitch deck and go to Rockstar, okay?
Right?
I mean, we could.
That's really what we need to do is we have to get in touch with what game do we like
and then go to the board and say, hey, if you this, you know, you could like this is another big thing
Like I think Sony is gonna be doing this
They're gonna have their own currency
You're gonna be able to build stuff like in blender right and then deploy that stuff into the game
So it'll be like alright well you've minted a trait card for a new weapon
It gives the weapon this amount of hit points, this kind of accuracy, right?
And so therefore it has this amount of value.
And you can design it physically
to have it look like whatever.
It can look like just a stinky shoe.
It can look like an amazing gun.
It can look like anything,
but it would have the damage stats
based off of what you've already pre-terminined, right?
With that card you've minted, right?
But now that's an asset that PlayStation
doesn't have to design. They didn't have to hire an engineer to design this 3D model.
The people designed the model, implemented into the game, and if it's popular, then there's more
of them out there. And they could be open mint. They could be unlimited mint. They don't have to
be a limited 10,000 supply. Maybe if it's a super amazing thing, you would have it limited on the number of iterations you could have
for custom guns, but the basic bottom-of-the-line gun, unlimited.
You know what I mean?
And maybe it's even free just to get people to play the game
and to get people started.
Man, I hope Unreal Kingdom gets it done, bro.
I really hope so too, man.
If they can pull their stuff together, And I hope Unreal Kingdom gets it done, bro. I really hope so too, man.
If they can pull their stuff together and we can get the boom that we need.
I mean, video games are so popular.
It's just about getting it in front of the right hands, the right streamers,
and it could really take off.
It could get to the point where I would just be paid to be a streamer for unreal kingdoms i could see that happening in like a year and a half but i mean i don't know man there's so many little
stags that keep coming up with everything anything you do yeah and you know you're going to be like
part you're going to be one of the leaders of the eac guild so you know let's go dude I loved running with guilds and and doing video game like
we often had like a four to a six man well three to a six man team for like some of these games and
I love man put me in charge coach I will work I have really good like a visual uh like awareness
spatial awareness so I love to get good at those maps and then
direct my team into like doing some like combat it's it's so much fun to to play like chess in
a 3d gaming environment with explosives it's so cool i know man i'm like so looking forward
to get back into gaming but i need it to be for web 3 like i yeah i don't i don't want to get into a game and build up a
character and do all that work again like i used to if i'm not going to be able to sell that
character because like it needs to be worth my time you know what i mean and i 100 and everything
that you've been building you know the top 5% of gamers are going to get paid.
The top 1% are going to get paid a fortune.
And just like sports, like football.
The cream of the crop, the elites that are doing an amazing job,
they're going to be fun to watch.
So people will pay to watch them.
I think it's exciting times.
I mean, with PumpFun paying streamers, with pump fun paying streamers with abstract paying streamers with
you know true social having like gamified like info fi I think that it's really I think it'll come fast where it finally translates to gaming as well and like a whole paid system
and I wanted to say too like this is kind of really great like you're building your net worth
and that's always yours like before like working for a company I have an email right and I'm
building up a client list through that email. And the company owns that.
But when you're building up your X account, that's you.
That's a brand that belongs to you that no one can ever take from you.
And that's money too.
It's a Web3 asset.
You can't get rough in a way.
It's, yeah, biological. The work that you put in is like yours.
Yeah.
I wish it was as quantifiable, you know, as everything, you know, like for working it out, for example, like you could work out X amount of effort and get Y amount of muscles.
But if you have an autoimmune disease, that rate is way less.
And if you have better quality food, the rate is more, right?
So Web3 is going to have a way of kind of monetizing it or kind of calculating value.
But if we actually had that today or when I was younger,
they would have noticed that the calorie input and the calorie expenditures are not balanced out.
There's something wrong with this equation.
And they would have known I had an autoimmune disease because of the blockchain transaction history.
You know what I mean?
Like you could actually be able to identify people's strengths, weaknesses, disabilities and stuff like that in order to get them help or training or to fine tune what kind of entertainment they even like.
Like, for example, if you've got severe ADD,
you want something that's going to make you laugh every 15 seconds or less.
You know, you're not there.
You're not going to watch a three hour movie that only has like one punch line.
You know what I mean?
Like that long build is you've already been distracted and now it's not even worth it.
You know what I mean?
Like those movies where it's like callback, callback, callback.
And at the very, very end, the final scene explains the entire fucking movie like if you got ADD that movie
sucked but if you were smart and you had a really long attention span your wife just be like wow
that was an epic like story what like a legendary epilogue so it's got it's all different per the customer. And if the customer likes it,
it doesn't matter what lingo you're using. So yeah, stop using Web3 lingo. Stop saying NFT,
say digital collectible. Stop saying blockchain, just say internet encryption. We just got to
stop using the the vote because the
new vocab is what's scaring people they're like well i don't know that word or i know that word
but it means something else and now it's like it's the they have that defensive reactionary
mechanism so just to new information you know and people will always have that defensive reaction
you know because they want their brain wants understand stuff, wants to understand their reality.
So that's just a natural emotion.
We have to just figure out how to either work that into an advantage or not trigger it as
like a defensive mechanism, you know?
So homegrown, you got any cool edibles you've been making recently?
What have you been getting ready for this weekend?
I know you're usually busy on the weekends.
I have a feeling she's making some Cheez-Its and lollipops right now.
Cheez-Its are on the list, but I always do a lot of procrastination before i get to them yeah um to be honest um this week i managed to
put together my um do-it-yourself taco tacos so i can send them out i infused the waffle shell and
made hot fudge and like packaged everything up individually so you could like build it yourself um just add ice cream choco tacos
come on yeah and and yeah and um and yeah i just i got a giant baking list that i'm
like avoiding and sitting here getting stoned and listening to you instead of
so like you said it i'm like crap, crap, he's right. I should be doing something.
I really, for some reason, I really thought you'd be, you'd be making like lollipops right now or Jesus.
Like, I really thought, so you're not, but you should be.
I should be.
That's where I'm supposed to be.
Thanks for calling me out, Tricky.
Good looking out.
But yeah, but no, I definitely have these do it yourself Choco Taco kits now that I haven't even like taken pictures of yet, but they're done.
I'm pretty psyched about them, believe it or not.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Well, it's tough.
Like everyone wanted to try the Choco Taco.
No one's gotten to try them.
I just keep bragging about having them.
You know, in a way, that's good marketing.
Oh, my God, these are so good.
No, you can't have any.
You can't have any.
You have to come to me to have one.
But I have a lot of bubblegum still, so you can have bubblegum.
Yeah, how about it?
Exactly that.
That would be funny if that was like your marketing aspect was like you have five things on the menu, but you always are, quote unquote, sold out of like 90% of it.
Right.
Like, no, we only have one thing left.
Everything went in the first 15 minutes.
It all got grabbed.
You got to be early next time.
I've got like six of these cookies.
Take them early.
Right. Right. They come back in two minutes oh i want to get those cookies well there's only four now yeah and they went up a dollar yeah you gotta get it when you see them man get it when you see
i mean i i honestly like the it's good to have like multiple price points and those
marketing techniques that do work sometimes but also um i could see you making one thing like
artistic too right like if you made a a cake or a confection of something that is like it actually
it's almost like a little guy or like a little sculpture right it actually
took some more effort there's some extra creative design and it's an edible right um and that thing
could be for like you know big parties someone might want to have it for like their birthday
or their wedding or their bachelorette party or maybe they're just like having a baller weekend
party and they want that to be the centerpiece.
Right?
And like literally you just have one of them and it's super expensive.
But it shows what you're capable of doing for parties.
And you sell one of those a month and it would be a huge windfall.
It's not a bad idea, Tricky.
But I'm always like – I'm like –
You're already so busy though.
Well, that – and it's always like the shipping thing like the shipping's what makes things like precarious like it's not um it's
gotta be local delivery or pickup only yeah yeah yeah but anyways no that's not a bad idea i'm
gonna think about it yeah when multiple price points are always good, right?
Absolutely.
You got the lollipops.
They can go up a little bit and get some of the teas or some of the bigger cookies.
Yeah, it's good to have a little multiple price points because some people will just be like, well, I am a rich snob, so I want the biggest, most expensive thing.
It doesn't even matter what it is.
They just wanted to get the most expensive thing on the menu.
So you might as well give them something they want.
They want to spend a bunch of money on the most expensive thing on the menu.
You put one thing out there that most people are like, fuck no, but that one rich person who wants to flex.
It uses all the best of the best ingredients.
Yeah, no, I hear you.
Wrapped in gold.
Or at least like at least like decorated with
like gold right yeah you can use all kinds of funny things no that's not a bad idea
it's smart i gotta think about it have fun with it you know let's your creative side come out
how about it like this this time next year you're not even making edibles anymore.
You're making sculptures.
Infused chocolate sculptures.
Yeah, yeah.
No, that's not a bad idea.
I want to start doing little dinners.
Every couple of months, do a infused meal i'm gonna
i'm gonna get my practice in in ithaca but i want to take it to the city and i feel like i have like
enough tiny contacts in the city that i might be able to like pull that shit off somewhere
well you can partner with like a caterer um for a specific infused party and be like, I'm the edible doser.
So you would go there and you'd find out, okay, what kind of tolerance do these people have first off?
Am I going to put 100 milligrams in this thing or am I going to put 10,000?
What kind of tolerance do these people have to make it the most enjoyable possible experience?
I would just limit it right off the bat and be like 30 milligrams a meal.
And it would be like throughout the entire meal.
Keep in mind, these people have to get up and go home when they're done.
They can't be trashed. I'm not offering 100 milligrams of anything.
Maybe it's a sleepover or they're my tolerance.
You need to up the dose, go smoke a blunt, like in between your meals.
Because you don't want to get it too
strong because it'll taste like weed anyway but like with well right extracts and stuff like that
well the one i'm doing the one i'm doing the one drops on each individual meal too the one i'm
doing in ithaca i'm doing all with bubble hash and live rosin and that minimizes all like the weed flavors it minimizes the um what's the word
i'm looking for that like that resistance they keep people from getting high like right like it
always works properly um and then it's just a better quality It's like a top quality concentrate opposed to using all the other stuff.
So I'm just working on it.
I want to eventually be able to cater like a wedding and whatnot.
That's what I'm working towards.
That's where the money is.
Yeah.
If you have a caterer that's like doing the handles of food,
you handle like the hors d'oeuvres and the dessert.
Exactly.
Like one or two pieces of it. Not like the uh the hors d'oeuvres and the dessert exactly like one or
two pieces of it not like the whole thing but yeah you lean on some good people and do it together
yeah because some people take on those catering jobs and just like get overwhelmed i'm trying to
figure out how i can make. So I got a reality.
I got a reality check when I was in the city a couple of weeks ago. I was sitting with Joe and there was an open bakery in his neighborhood.
And I said, how much do you think the rent is?
And they're like 15.
And I'm like 15,000, not 100.
Yes.
So I've been really thinking, I'm like, so you can't make $15,000 a month in pastries unless you are nonstop 24 hours a day.
So there has to be other ways of collecting revenue.
And that's where it comes.
Well, they do got foot traffic and granted it's right next to a Michelin far
Michelin star restaurant.
And yeah, no, like it's right.
And it's got a bunch of equipment in there and it's been open for quite a
while.
So I'm like, so I need need i need a catering team he's like and then
joe suggested that i could run classes out of there like and have people sign up for classes
and um and with all of those things working together i could totally maybe come up with 15 grand a month um it just sounds like so unattainable and um
but but yeah so right now i'm practice we're gonna practice doing the meal just to like
but like three three course meal um just infused and just for a small like maybe 10 to 15
Just infused and just for a small, like maybe 10 to 15 ticket type of thing.
Like Joe said, too, like, I mean, that foot traffic is everything right there.
It's Baker Brake.
Well, yeah.
Uncle Tom's Bar.
Sorry, Cowboy Tom's Bar.
Yeah.
I think he spent like 20 or 25 grand a month for that rent.
While he, all this time while he was even getting it ready
okay but that's the thing is but but like businesses and bars they they make good money
a lot of them do fail but there are a couple that they hit that sweet spot and they make bank so
it's possible with the right foot traffic it is possible and if it's next to a missile a michelin
chef that means that the around surrounding neighborhood has accepted that gourmet price point already.
You know what I mean?
Well, correct.
There's already – well, it's in lower Manhattan.
So it's already got, like, the east side.
So it's around, like, all the foodie restaurants.
Like, there's so much food over there.
And then,
yeah,
they've already like,
they already have foot traffic of people that accepted that price point.
you're right.
If anyone wants to sponsor us or like help invest,
I can't afford that,
but I could totally make it happen.
but yeah, no, it's like it could be a thing.
I just I need all the stars to align to have it happen.
But I'm going to keep practicing and prepping for it until it does.
So a busy downtown Manhattan deli, for example, or a bakery, I just wanted to pick a small food place, right, can generate monthly sales ranging from $60,000 to $170,000 in Manhattan.
Okay.
There's a specific downtown Manhattan coffee shop and deli reported a gross annual revenue of 2.1 million which translates
about to 177,000 per month so it is possible oh absolutely uh with a little bit of luck
and like the right team and staff absolutely yeah and that's like that thing i made for a little
like rough business thing.
Like you could adjust, obviously, your wages.
You could take my little section I just put there as an example.
You're going to want to have some kind of advisor or legal help anyway.
So maybe it's not me.
Oh, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of potential with all these things.
And it's crazy how the numbers, like, come together.
It really is baffling and mind-boggling how much traffic some of these places actually get.
Like, I was running around New York.
My wife was asking, like, what's the public transportation like?
And it's actually amazing. It's legit amazing. And underneath the road, there's like
seven lanes of trains each, you know what I mean? Like it is huge. There's only the traffic you see
on the surface streets of New York is like probably like two or 3% of the, let me find that.
Let me ask AI. The majority of the traffic is underground, flying around at a ridiculous speed.
Let's see.
All right, I just asked.
What percentage of New York traffic is on the surface streets?
Drum roll.
Okay, well, it's for the whole state.
It's actually a higher percentage because there's only, you know,
in New York City, though, it's only 15% of the traffic is on the roads.
So 85% of the traffic in New York is underground
Isn't that crazy?
That's a lot of people moving around underground
I get kind of claustrophobic when I think about it, but it's so big down there and so expansive
It doesn't feel like you would get, like, stuck or crushed easily.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's so big.
But I was seeing that.
There's, like, the express train, which, like, skips a stop or something like that to help you get places faster.
I was looking at most of those, like, five, six, seven tracks, like, underground when you go to look at the subway.
You back home, bro?
My dad. When you go to look at the subway, you back homegrown? Like that.
All right, I want to play this little track because I love it, and it's only a minute and 16 seconds.
What's up God?音楽 Oh
Let's go.
Little Ozzy rendition by Clay Jean, the trap violinist.
Absolutely.
I know I'm always going to be playing Web3 music.
Ever since he joined the club, it has been standard that I play like two or three of his songs every show.
He's such a legend, and he's got such a great energy you know when you
meet someone who's like relatively famous and they don't act like it and you're like this is
the kind of guy i want to be famous like this is the kind of guy i want getting that kind of love
and attention you know he's like he just seems like a good dude um yeah great energy amazing
musician and he's such a generous guy not only did he get a d5 space donkey and join
the club but he's been performing at multiple events we've had including zauchella and i can't
wait for the next thing we got we got a collab we're going to be working on here i want to have
him on the violin me on piano and then we'll have a couple other verses maybe we can get i don't know
do we do we know anybody that raps know. Do we know anybody that raps?
I wonder if we know anybody that raps.
Hey, what's up, God Will Provide?
How's it going?
Hope you're doing good, man.
Yeah, we're going to do some ciphers and shit.
That'll be fucking awesome.
Yeah, I hope you're all doing good.
It's funny, I saw God Will Provide.
And I think there's like a couple different God will provides in the space.
But it says I'm not following from this account.
What's going on?
Did you get a new account recently?
What happened?
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't know.
I don't know why.
I don't know.
You know, X is actually glitching these days.
And obviously, we actually have been a lot of, you know, I don't know. You know, X is actually glitching these days. And obviously, we're actually having a lot of, you know, I don't know, most cases like this.
I think the last time, Sue actually said something like this regarding to his account,
that some of his friends were actually being on follow.
So probably don't know why X is actually like this, though.
But then again, I took you to follow, right? Real quick.
All right, real quick.
Oh, my.
So my grandson just said to me,
I scream and yell because Nana always says yes.
When he starts making noise,
I just like anything to make him stop.
And now he's just slaying me.
Yeah, you train him to make bad noises And now he's just slaying me. Yeah.
You train him to make bad noises equals things he wants.
So you got to switch it up.
Every time he does that, you got to blow a whistle in his face and squirt him with a water bottle.
You do that, he'll stop crying a little fast.
You know?
Goddamn. Use your words like an adult. You act like an animal. I'm going to treat you like an animal. You know? No. God damn it.
Use your words like an adult.
Act like an animal. I'm going to treat you like an animal.
This is why I'm not a parent.
It's got to be
like constitute child abuse or something.
I don't know.
I don't know if he's illegal
but he's definitely got some creative parenting solutions.
I don't know if he's illegal, but he's definitely got some creative parenting solutions.
That's what I'd do.
When I see a kid screaming, I'm like, no, you can't respond to that. If they think that's how communication works, that's as hard as he's going to try to communicate.
And it's hard to make words when you don't know how to enunciate it first.
So you've got to make them when you don't know how to enunciate it first. So, like, you got to make the...
Well, I don't know, yes.
You know?
All right.
Okay, man.
Yeah, I'll go find my bond.
I'll be...
Awesome.
I'll be waiting for you.
What's up?
God will provide.
Welcome back.
My dear, thank you very much.
Do you know what just happened to me right now i was
actually talking and uh the next thing i noticed that i've actually been you know logged out
immediately i don't know what happened but then it's all like completely out of the app
honestly honestly like immediately when i started talking to you on speed i was totally
logged out like shut down you know i had to just it'll like it. It'll delete my account from my phone
and I'll have to re-add it and everything
like sometimes.
I totally had to re-login
again, but it's all fine.
Thank you very much for
that warm welcome.
You know, this is
what you want to talk about.
I was actually making comments on, I think some time ago.
But then again, it's all fine.
Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.
Of course, you know, this is actually God will provide.
And as a believer of God, as someone who actually emulates the standards of God,
I believe that God in heaven will never come down from heaven to bless man. God in heaven never comes down from heaven to bless man.
God in heaven always passed through man to bless man. That is why he created man like you,
like course, like we in his own image and likeness. I just want to say something real quick.
We are actually on the blockchain space and we actually have most of the bad actors. But then
again, I think i think exactly high time
the good people should actually come together like stool like geo like jay connect you know
like lady never scared like attic like uh you know a lot of diggy joins a lot of amazing people
meta rise yeah meta is actually here i see you shout shout out to you crypto farm shout out to you as well you know
home home home homegrown homegrown creations homegrown creation shout out to you i've actually
seen exactly supporting the quickie ecosystem uh which is actually i think i've actually seen a
banner picture with homegrown on like supporting you know i don't know yeah but actually it's too
talked talked about it yeah so um i think it's actually high time for people like us you know
genuine people to come in join together to fight this war against the manipulators against the
rock pool against the bad actors yeah because i let me share a quick one i have tons of messages on my dms you know probably
i of course you know me i don't you know i already you know what you should do okay there's a bunch
of people i know this one guy i know stones he's like he's really helpful he'll like whenever
someone comes into the community that's new that i don't know um especially if they're from like
nigeria he's from nigeria so he'll say well let me talk to him well
I can get I can get buddy buddy with them and he'll tell me or he'll like they'll usually tell
him flat out that they're there to like scam people or that you know like they're like brother
help let's get this money let's scam blah blah like it's really that freaking obvious um so I
I think like it's important to highlight those things.
And I like highlighting those good people.
But if you have access to talk to people like that and to expose those scammers too,
you can be like, this is the link they're sending to people.
This is what the email is or the text, right?
And this is who the person really is.
And it's obviously a scam. And you could literally just highlight one scam a day from people that you find in your
community and you could make your name that way.
You could literally make your name any way you want in this industry.
We need a lot more people who are calling out bad actors.
So asking tough questions and also calling out the bullshit is very much needed.
And I mean, if someone asks you a question,
you should be happy that you have an opportunity to talk about your project.
You shouldn't be, you shouldn't feel attacked or defensive.
So when someone does feel attacked or starts acting defensive,
when all you've done is ask a question, that's a huge red flag for me.
You know?
So yeah.
Yeah.
You know what?
You know what?
I feel exactly high time for me to educate the community, you know?
I'm actually going to be in an IRL event on the 15th, on the 16th of this month, you know,
where I'm going to be talking to over 2000
students you know as as one of the speakers at that event you know it is wanting for us to be
pertinent about educating the people and letting them understand how these things are being done
i can tell you for a fact that sometimes when i go on irl events probably i can if i even if i'm
permitted to send a screenshot of my DMs, we probably get to see
people who are actually falling victims. And this is one thing that's actually making the
community scared about a particular project. You know, you could imagine, let's talk about,
let's use your project as an example. You know, it's actually going to be very hard.
You know, in the African community, for instance, you know, you bring in your project trying to introduce into the african community a lot of people who must have actually fall a victim
of such circumstances will be very scared do you know why they probably will feel oh what is
actually going on what is actually the intention and the worst part of it is that most of these
deaths most of these founders are not dogs. So how can you actually trust your integrity, your prestige, your dignity into someone that you don't know?
Into an account that you don't know who is he, how is he, is he short, is he tall, is he dark?
You know, you have not actually talked to him before.
It is just a mere chat.
So this is one thing we as persons, personally, I've actually taken it upon myself to fight a war against
war you know try trying to look educate the people spotlight the people jumping on
iri i i i rl event blockchain event you know going from schools from universities from colleges to
educate people to let them understand that this is how it is and this is what it is so i feel
we as genuine people can actually come together to enlighten the people so that this blockchain space should be a lovely one, should be an amazing one.
It's supposed to be entertaining, supposed to be lovely, supposed to be entertaining.
You know, phone.
So how are you?
I want to know what event you're going to.
And also, yeah, I got a follow-up question after knowing what event you're going to. Um, and also, uh, yeah, I got a follow up question after knowing
what event you're going to, but I like to highlight people who are doing a great job,
right? Like you can tell, you always want to expose the bad actors, but if you focus on that,
you can really just have a negative vibe and people just won't want to listen. Cause it's
like, it's always negative when we talk, you know what I mean? Like, that's why you can't always
like give people bad news. You got to have like medium and good news too. That way you talk, you know what I mean? Like, that's why you can't always like give people bad news. You gotta have like medium and good news too.
That way you're, you know,
you're a trusted source for information.
And then when you have something important to say,
they actually listen.
But so really focusing on the, like the good builders here,
right?
Like focusing on people who are doing it right.
Like, like MetaRise is a great example
of someone who's doing it right.
They're bringing in outside businesses, outside brands,
besides the web three ecosystem. They're bringing in outside businesses, outside brands, besides the Web3 ecosystem.
They're not just selling to tech nerds.
They're actually moving IRL with big brands.
So partnerships with Tootsie Roll, with the Playmates.
You know, it's just, it's been amazing watching real builders actually come together and bring brands into this industry.
That's what we need.
Or else we're going to have them come in and just kick us out.
But if we're already here and we partner with them and we can show them the way,
then we're not now dealing with a situation where Amazon just buys us all out basically and takes everything over.
We want to be part of the game.
We want to have a say in how it's being built so we have to do it right and bring in the real brands that
everybody is already spending money with like if you can figure out a way to get
Amazon to use your web 3 feature you just hit a gold mine right well that's
that's lovely but then again I think i've actually seen a lot of our
amazing top charts here uh first and foremost let me acknowledge them for creating our time
to also be here and uh so for whatever they're doing you know it's always amazing but then again
i just see a particular project here uh weed yeah if i'm not mistaken yeah i don't know i
would just like us to throw more light on it probably.
Let me get to know what's actually popping.
Let me get to know the modalities, the structure.
Let me get to know the sustainability plans and, you know, go regarding to this project.
Then I can probably stay bullish and also stay tapping and stay locked in on the project, man.
So I don't know.
Can we just throw more light on the Weed project?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Weed Meme Coin was launched in July last year.
You can go to WeedMemeCoin.com or if you actually go to WeedMemeCoin420,
that is where you'll see the Twitter account.
I'm going to bring the account back in here.
I am the spokesman behind
the Weed Project. They hired me in May this last couple months. I guess it's been like two months,
a month and a half. Yeah, two months. And we've been doing pretty good. We had an all-time high
of about 2 million last year, and it kind of bottomed out around 240, 240K.
Then I joined the team and we've pushed it up to 550, I think maybe 600K.
But I've got goals all the way up to 20 million plus market cap where that's where we're going to have our first big party.
Well, there'll be smaller parties, but a real big celebration party is my 20 mil market
cap goal.
I've been sending out a little bit of weed to all the homies and if they hold it, by
the time it hits 20 mil market cap, everyone will have a nice drink and a meal on me and
we'll be able to party and make plans for how we're going to go further with the brand. But it's a meme coin, and it's also a community engagement token, right?
It's really all about having fun with the memes, and we reward those people making memes
and engaging by using our allocation of 40% of the token that we have set aside
just for rewards and burns.
So automatically, 40% of the token belongs to the set aside just for rewards and burns. So automatically, you know,
40% of the token belongs to the people, the community, right? It doesn't belong to any person,
just to start off with. And then we've also got these collaborations that are coming. So
we are basically marketing for companies, giving them extra exposure, and in return,
our holders get a discount and maybe some games to play.
We are actually working on a couple things right now.
We have a video game.
We are in one game already now.
We have another one coming out, and also an NFT project we're working on,
which should have collaborations with different utilities.
So, yeah, there's a bunch of things coming out right now.
But yeah, July 2025 is when it came out.
So we're like, we're at about a year, you know,
in a couple of weeks we'll be at right at the one year mark.
And I am revamping the entire social media right now.
We're trying to make sure all the accounts are monetized.
Most of them are monetized now,
but we have about 1.5 million followers across all 12 of these accounts that I'm currently running.
So when these large growers like Cura Leaf or something like that, TruLeaf or something
like that, these dispensaries, when they come into the Web3 industry, I want them to find
They're going to see these are the guys that have been here building
that love the plant for what it is,
and will provide that infrastructure for a rewards program.
Like, you know how when you go to, well, any kind of business,
but if you go to Starbucks, for example, they have reward points.
You buy a drink, you get a reward point, right?
Now, that reward point could just as easily be a weed token.
So maybe you go to the store and you spend money, you get 1% back in weed token.
You go to the dispensary and buy your monthly supply, you get 5% back in weed token.
You know, we can just keep on giving people weed and then on Friday we burn weed.
We just destroy some of the supply which increases the amount of liquidity we have per coin so every
Friday join us we're also doing the show called high intelligence on that Friday
when we burn the weed it's from 420 to 520 Eastern Standard Time where they're
smoking on stage you can see me, Rick Starr, Crypto Stoner, and Intelligent Stoners, aka Genius
Pothead, Nick, who's the lead of the project. And we have a great time. It's a one-hour
show. A little bit of trend analysis. We do a screen share, and we talk about the market.
You know, we show a bubble map with all the ups and downs Explain the news and what's happening over the weekend and then make some predictions sometimes
smoke a bowl and do an interview of another web 3 project
We've got so many things going on in the GPC the Green Pillow Collective that there's always another project to talk about
It's staying busy.
The Weed Projects is definitely staying busy.
If you like making memes or you want to engage with that main account,
you will get bonus points that can get you an airdrop.
We've sent out a good amount of airdrops already.
But, you know, if I see you out here grinding, making some good content,
you know, you make me laugh, I'll send you a bag of weed.
Simple as that.
All right.
Lovely.
I want to add.
I'm sure this is actually weed on Solana blockchain, right?
Yes.
It's weed on Solana.
Yeah.
All right.
On a quick one, I'd probably like us to talk on thean because there are a lot of strategies on how to get this stuff,
get familiarized in the African community.
And I'd like to tell you that in the blockchain space,
we probably try to make sure we are positioned
and we tap in early because early adopters are those people that those people that is it early to bed, early to rise.
Yeah. So basically what I'm trying to say in the next sentence is I think I'd like us to talk on the back end.
Probably. Let's get to tap in and let me stay position on this project.
And I put two things that I'm up. My my hourly rate is three hundred and twenty five dollars.
Two things that I'm up my my hourly rate is three hundred and twenty five dollars
So I do these spaces specifically at this time to donate my time to the community
So this is the best time to talk to me for free is during these all right these four to six p.m
Spaces so that's just that's the one thing second thing
I'm putting together a raid team and we are making content we're making highlight reels memes if you want
to be part of that team that's going to help bring eyes on to weed the more eyes we get on to weed
the bigger of an allocation we're going to get and when i hit my 20 million market cap for the token
i'm splitting a hundred thousand dollars with myself and everyone on the team like i'm i'm
sharing that with you guys when When I get that bonus,
that bonus is gonna get split evenly
amongst everybody on the team.
Okay, lovely.
That's actually a very lovely strategy.
But unfortunately, that is not my area of specialty.
I'm actually a strategic blockchain marketer
in the Web3 ecosystem.
And I'm not a sheeler, I'm not a redder.
Like right now, as i'm talking to you i am actually planning for an event and a blockchain event
that is coming up uh in on on the 16th of this month as a blockchain strategic marketer i'm
going to be a speaker there so this is actually one time this is actually opportunity that i get
to talk to over 2 000 students that are actually going to be live there.
It's actually a university community and of course I'd like to tell you that you need to strategise your project or strategise your blockchain ideas, innovations in the university community the reason is this this university people this university community are growing up university community are waxing stronger university community has a large
a large scale of population of people a large population of students a large scale of population
of believers not followers but leaders so this is actually one thing if you gotta actually check my
tale i travel a lot from one state to the other from one school to the other to strategically do educate the people about blockchain web3 and cryptocurrency
then strategically you know project a particular project you know that is in line with the
community best and of course i'd like to tell you that i don't project a project i don't talk about
a project which i don't know much about i don't talk about a project which I don't know much about.
I don't talk about a project which is not centered on human capital development.
I don't talk about a project which is not centered on community growth, community wealth, you know.
So these are actually the key features at which I am looking out for any project before I tap into.
You would never see me jump into a particular project which i don't understand the dynamics which i don't understand the modality which i don't understand the sustainability goals
and plant which i don't understand the long-term vision which i don't understand the aims and
missions of this particular project it is not just for someone to wake up from one morning and tell
me let's fucking go you know let's pump your back of course i am not moved by that and i
will never move you know first i'd like to tell you i have my niche i'm actually fighting a war
against rock pole so this is actually my area of specialty is actually my area of uh strength yeah
so for me to tap into a particular project and as someone who is actually highly influential
who has who has the capacity not just the alone, who has the tenacity in the African community,
if you see me in an event or you see me talking about a particular project, automatically this
is actually a project I've actually done research on over and over again and I know that this
project will never rock the community. So that's why i'm not very careful at every point
i want to tap into at every point i want to support at every community you never get to see
me talk about a project i don't know of course you know i'm actually in the quickie ecosystem
as a quickie in the quickie ecosystem i am the african lead of the quickie project in africa
you understand i have talked to stu i've been on communication with jay i've been on communication
with lady never get scared i've actually had a lot of people that i've actually
talked to stool knows me these are people that are docs these are people i know what they're
doing they know what i'm doing so i am definitely not going to tap into a particular project that i
don't even know the dev i don't even know the founder we are probably going to be talking on
on x chat alone no this is not a more reason for us to be convinced that these people are never are never going to rock the community you know we need something i need something that's
going to be more sustainable i need something that i'm going to give back to the community
give back to humanity i so much love humanity i like to do humanitarian service so in my community
that's why you see me taking out the stress taking out the pain you know it costs a lot you spend
money to do most of this thing.
Jump into an IR event, supporting blockchain conference.
You could actually go to my TL, my Instagram, my LinkedIn, my Medium, my YouTube.
Now you're in my YouTube.
Go check it out and you're probably going to see what is actually going on, you know.
So this is one fact, you know, for me to tap into a particular project.
I think I should actually be able to see your roadmap, your roadmap, your white paper.
Let me read it.
Of course, I know in between lines, there must
actually be something fishy, so I can actually spot
it up. Probably get to ask you a question,
you know, how, why,
and where, then we can now
proceed. So basically, if you actually have me
on your team, not as a Raider, not as
a Sheila, you know,
talk it out
on the back end, then probably
we can discuss the modality.
Yeah, we have a lot of comments.
I'm a personal advisor, right? I'm a tokenized personal advisor.
That's how I use Web3 to represent in my business.
One NFT is like a receipt for a club membership and also an hour of my time.
for a club membership and also an hour of my time right and so I started off like that and they were
super cheap and it was it was a way of like onboarding people because they were like three
bucks you know so for three bucks you get an hour of my time oh no brainer you know I could get
people to sign up for a wallet you know my hourly rate was like $25 when I was doing that now my hourly rates 325 and these NFTs are going for 400
and it's a 10,000 collection I own 96% of it yeah yeah and there's none listed on the floor besides
me so I can really put the price of anything I want but right now it's actually at 400 because it went up to like 0.5 ETH and I was
like that's ridiculous I gotta put it lower so I'm not gonna have any new members if I do that
and ultimately I don't need to sell out and have a like a full club I need to have those receipts
to sell later and but how many people can I really get to know right like you said like I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna talk about a project that I don't believe in or that I don't know the person you
know if I don't know the person well there's not gonna be much I can say about the project you know
because I'm gonna speak what I know so you know doing this club there's 370 people in it right now I could it's hard to meet more people and know how their business works and know how I'm gonna add value or whether or not
They're a scam or all that, you know
It takes a lot of work for me, too
So if I like suddenly sold all my NFTs like and we had that many new members
I wouldn't be able to be a good a a good advisor to them. And that's,
I'm the whole utility of the club is me being an advisor to help you grow
your brand and whatnot. Yeah. ESC, see your hand up.
Yeah. I just came in. I didn't catch everything that God willing was,
was talking about, but I noticed that you're like connected with Quakey and,
and that's kind of bullish and, uh,
I, I, uh,
I'm in desperate need of, um, like a guy like you who is, um,
like from Nigeria. Cause I have a huge Nigerian, like amount of members in my discord,
but they're just, they're not active.
And I have, and I'm just gonna be straight up blunt
with you, bro.
I have like, I meet like a guy almost every kind of week
from Nigeria who comes in like the EAC discord super active and but within
and who says that he can like help hype up the Nigerian community and get them active
but within like less than two weeks I never hear from him again and uh um and and just to be straight up with you, like I really like appreciate the people from Nigeria.
Like I think they're one of the groups that are most into Web3 and active in
Web3.
But yeah,
like I can't tap into like keeping them active and, and to have someone come in and like pay,
like offer them a job as a moderator right from the get go.
I need to see results.
I can't be putting money out the door without having any results.
And,
and there's a lot of people out there that'll just be like,
can I get a job as a moderator right before they even know your project
or even in your project and and right before they prove anything and I get the fact that people want
to get paid for a service but how but in web3 there's a lot of scammers and how do you know
like that you're gonna get that what you pay for
that you're going to get that what you pay for.
Yeah, it's tough getting to know people.
All right, please.
Let me just come in from there.
ESC, thank you very much.
I think I actually had a message with you.
I think you had this, right?
I saw your message.
Yeah, I messaged to onboard you
and so yeah i recognize you too yeah yeah yeah yeah no the fact is uh i've actually had over
projects i think if i'm no mistaken over 50 of projects who have actually messaged me
and uh probably if it doesn't suit well if i can actually talk to you, I think I told you we should actually talk on Telegram, you know, because this is one thing I do.
I respect my prestige. I respect my integrity.
I respect the fact that whatever I'm actually doing, putting that out there, I should actually be able to defend what I'm actually doing.
I should actually be able to let the people understand that this is what it is, how it is.
I should actually be able to let the people understand that this is what it is, this is how it is.
Gone are those days, I would probably get to see a project coming in with a lot of hypes.
Let's fucking go.
Let's pump your bag.
And in less than no time, they get to rock the community and, you know, abscond.
But this time around, before we actually put it out there, of course, you know me very well.
If you actually know me very well, I'm actually working in the well working with the quick african community they are actually working with the quick african community i'm
actually the african lead of the quickie in the old africa you know trying to connect people from
from south africa trying to connect people from from from from ghana from kenya from togo from
congo from nigeria as well you understand so this is something i know i've actually had a conversation
with two not once not twice we have got a telegram calls we've actually had a zoom calls we've
actually been talking on dms or whatsapp dms you know Stu actually calls me every now and then
Jay these are people that are doing these are people that are dogs these are people i know for
sure that these are people that are actually working out everything humanly possible to ensure
they give back to the community so for me to support a particular project i need to understand the roadmap i need to
understand the model you need to understand the vision behind your project because these days in
the blockchains we actually have a lot of bad actors and you get to see people coming up on
spaces and coming up on the blockchain space who creating one particular project shouting let's fucking go let's pump your back. We are fucking
Let's pump it up. You know, it's it's it's getting it's getting ridiculous
You understand and exactly getting heartbreaking so I think I think I actually message you and I replied your message
Which actually told you came at this hour with T's I think we shall create top first
I don't probably click links like that on my DMZ because I don't want to hear these guys
Let's pump it up, unless their product they're making is the air pump and they're going to fix bicycle tires or some shit.
Fucking give me some real utility, man.
No, I like everything that you're saying, bro.
And it's the same kind of thing.
Like I'm not big on TG, so I'm not really even going to click on any TG to have a conversation with the guy.
But now that
we've talked um yeah let's let's shop it up yeah so so now i i'll probably feel uh we could probably
get to talk even even exactly on whatsapp you know i think i actually had a lot of i think i
have you said you're in discord right yeah so discord's perfect because you can go into the
discord channel and we can open up a video chat and hey
I'd love to like if you're down to be on video call and you're like, I'm done
I'm down to talk, you know, I see we got you guys someone who's been waiting very patiently with your hand
Let's let's see what they they see what they have to add
But also man don't don't go on to like a 10 minute thing because because, I mean, I was saying something and we started answering a question and like, I don't even know if anybody remembers that, but we're going to go to your head.
Go ahead, Aphra.
Yo, Insta, I wish I could actually get the Space Donkey kind of like snippets or like the sound.
But yeah, tricky bull.
That was good.
GM, GM, Q, Crypto Farm.
Shout out to you.
Weed, EAC, God will provide.
Big shout out to everyone in here.
I just wanted to actually grab you.
Shout out four people and three were me.
You got to do better.
You got to shout out everybody else now.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Hold on.
Hold on now.
Now, man.
Now you got me wanting to start
from beginning so dms crypto fam was good king that was going on we'd shout out to you eac gmtm
later it was good bed was good metar Computer, Riki, and Tricky to Dizzle.
Straight to Dizzle.
He's the...
Dizzle.
Okay, okay.
I missed.
No, he's a buddy.
He's the DeFi Space Donkey community liaison.
He's always bringing people together on the back end, hooking up, you know.
He's literally a DeFi Space Donkey.
I shot him a fall already. He's literally a different space donkey. I shot him already. He's got I think probably the biggest DeFi space donkey whale out here besides
That are bigger whales than him
You man be sure to you guys I just wanted to see God will provide his one man that is actually out here in Nigeria.
You know, he does this thing where he goes to like universities to preach Web3.
Like I always commend him for that.
So he goes from institution to institution telling people about Web3, about DeFi and, you know, the whole good stuff.
He's just one person I look up to in this space.
So I just wanted to shout out to him.
And I actually agree with what you all say.
We're saying, you know, lots of people actually would oversell.
They'll tell you they can do this,
they can do that, they can do this.
And probably they get to do it for about two weeks,
just like you said, or a month.
And yeah, they start slacking
or they don't even deliver at all.
So I kind of think people connecting with builders
and trying to know what the project is all about is the way to go.
I think every project should have a thing where they get to pull people on a trial period,
let's say, on a probation period of working because the motherfuckers be doing crazy thing
out here. period of walking because like the more focus be doing crazy you know here but i just wanted to
shout out to you all and um yeah um i saw go providing here and tricky buddha so i just wanted
to come say shout out to you people hope you're actually doing good eac shout out to you legend
and yeah let me just drop my mic here real quick appreciate you coming through man appreciate you
coming through yes that arise absolute legend in the space
It's tough when you're getting into this area and you don't know like, you know, who who can you trust who's a real one
After I was here for about two and a half three years meta guys was like, okay, I think he's legit
Let's give a let's sponsor him for
for Miami, I think we were cool before that but
it takes time to get to know people you know and yeah i don't trust anyone until i've known
him for about you know at least six months but about two three years is when i start to get
comfortable you know so yeah it only it only makes sense that there's a trial period because whoever is willing to work on a probationary period can still deliver.
Just imagine what they would be able to do when they are working full time and all of that.
If you're on your probationary period, nobody is going to do better than they did on the probationary period.
So as a manager, you give them a probationary period,
and you're like, all right, you know, there's only one scenario
where a probationary period you work till you slack off,
and that's if you've already gotten sick of the job,
and it's about getting fired or not, where you're like,
well, I'll do the minimum to not get fired.
But nobody's like, oh, I'm starting at this job.
I'm going to slack off until I know I've got it,
and then I'll give it its full responsibility.
No, no.
You got to do it right out the gate so you can get that promotion.
If you don't, you start working the second you've met that person.
You're already working for the promotion.
What up, EAC?
People are crazy, though, bro.
You know how I send out a message like I'll onboard you with a free NFT and 500 K EAC token.
I'll get like some messages back and be like, that's not enough, bro.
I'm like, what are you talking?
I'm offering you a free gift.
And they're like, nope, it's a 70 bucks for a tweet,
250 bucks for a retweet.
I'm like, what are you talking you talking about man i'm just trying
to give you a free gift yeah it's like if you if i just met you and i asked you how much you pay
for a tweet and you give me any number you're not worth it. Because that means you just take any number
in order to promote people. You have no idea
who the fuck they are.
Nobody cares what your word
is. Nobody cares what you're tweeting about.
Everybody knows it's probably bullshit.
Because you can easily be bought.
So, no, that person
is not somebody I want talking about my brand.
Absolutely not.
What God will provide. is not somebody I want talking about my brand. Absolutely not. What does God
will provide?
All right. On a quick one, I just want to
a question.
You know, sometimes
when people actually react like that, sometimes
I go
to schools, you know,
I relate to people a lot.
Like I told you earlier, I have an event in a city,
Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, and it's the University of Abuja, where we are going to be
having over a thousand students to a thousand five hundred students. And you're not probably
going to blame these people because exactly as a result of their past experience.
We are humans. We are humans. You know, when we see people coming up on blockchain spaces to rock pool, the community, and they'll go, sometimes the people lose trust. Even though you're actually
genuine, even though you're actually real, the people lose interest. Let's be very sincere.
Let's put ourselves in the shoes of these people. Let's put ourselves in the shoes of these people. Let's put ourselves
in the shoes of the community. So that is why it is always very easy for, it's always very hard
rather, for you to see a community entrusting their full support into a particular project.
And it is one thing for you to understand that you need to build believers you need to build people to understand
the dynamics of what you're building you need to build the people that understand that you are
coming to solve a problem in the blockchain space you are coming to be a solution you are not just
coming to shout let's fucking go let's pump your back you need to actually be able to identify the
problem that you have actually been spotlighting in the blockchain. I will yell let's fucking go but I'm still with you on everything
else. So no I want to ask I want to ask EAC sorry the 500,000 of your coin that you want to offer out, please, how much is the worth, please?
So it's worth right now 20 cents.
Yeah, it's worth 20 cents, but hear me out here for a second.
It's 20 cents that I give to everyone and will continue to give to everyone to get them in the door.
And 20 cents now is not 20 cents in 10 years.
That's literally what I wanted to say.
20 cents now at whatever market cap is sitting at could literally be thousands of dollars
some years from now.
So having a way like teach more focus to
everyone sorry everyone here send me your soul addy all right and I'm gonna
send you some weed token now I've been sending this I've been sending 420 coins
to everybody get it it's 420 it when I first started doing it, it was like 30 cents, like 20-something cents, like 30 cents, right?
Well, now it's like 70. It got to one point where it was like 74 cents, because there's only a 420 supply, plus we keep burning it,
and the liquidity is starting to get up there a little bit.
So, yeah, where does our coin currently at? We'll go to the hand and find out the numbers on this welcome I don't know you need oh
okay yeah good good good I'm pulling it up right now all right I got it now
though 607 point 13 K so a little over 600 K is where we're at now.
So it's very early.
If I give somebody less than a dollar and they decide they'd rather have less than a dollar
now than believe in me at all, well then it'll be great.
They're going to get it back.
They're going to go buy themselves a candy or a soda and then later on they're going
to be crying when they realize that they should have
had a little bit of fucking faith because i just gave it to them anyway
if i get to my so no sorry then that would be enough to buy everybody dinner and a drink
for a smoke tricky please please uh let's allow computer guy to talk, please.
I think he's not exactly, or I'm pretty
very sure he wants to say something. So, computer,
please, you could just want me to mic and let's get
to hear from you, bro. But it is actually a lovely
community. Yeah.
Just raise your hand, Peter.
I didn't see your hands, or else I would have said
something. Yeah, it's okay. Computer, let's
hear from you.
Okay, I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Can you hear me?
Good?
Yes, sir.
Crystal, clear.
Crystal, clear.
So I've been in the EAC project for about a week,
and they are so helpful.
You know, I've some uh a little bit of
issues here and there uh just kind of trying to get the feel of it because it's a huge project
um it there's all kind of giveaways there's all kind of stuff to help the community out i mean I mean, you know, I just, I've never seen a project quite that large in an NFT project and a token also.
And I am impressed every single day because, you know, quick responsive team.
If you have issues or if you have a question about something or anything of that nature, man, it's just amazing.
I just want to say that.
And I wanted to say to you, bro, you're the exact kind of community members that we need
a hundred of. We need to multiply you. I appreciate you and your support coming in.
And yeah, that's what we're here for, man. Like we're here to build a better Web3, have fun,
and make money all together on a come up.
It's not an extraction.
We're a DAO where we all come up together.
And that's the legacy that I'm looking to build with everyone that is EAC.
Love this community for that reason.
That's like what it's all about.
On a quick one, let me just contribute to that.
EAC, I think the best you think you actually do is for us to,
is for you to build a stronger community.
Now, let me take your mind back.
I particularly recall when Bitcoin actually came in as a 2029 year 2009
I could see people did not actually understand the vision at which is
going to actually come in to build we would in understand the problem at
least you at video coming to solve they were coming to solve a problem you know
coming to give you that financial freedom I think that's actually the
gospel the the actually preach.
If you could create out your time, go back and read their roadmap, their white paper,
you probably understand the vision at which you're actually coming to portray.
So now they actually built a community, a stronger community from wherever they were to this very point.
And that is what has actually sustained them to this point.
I can tell you for a fact that one of the greatest success of the coin,
Bitcoin, the Bitcoin ecosystem, it is as a result of a stronger community.
It is not just a community.
It is as a result of believers, people that understand the vision,
people that are ready to support the vision,
people that are ready to ensure that they see the vision gets to the sky.
are ready to ensure that they see the vision gets to the sky so i feel the very first thing is for
you to build like mind of people people that understand the vision of which at which you're
coming to you know portraying the blockchain space and the solution the problem you're going
to solve in the blockchain space because blockchain the the bitcoin came with that narrative of solving
a problem yeah they solving a problem.
Yeah, they saw a problem and they came to solve that problem.
So now by the time they're trying to solve that problem,
they told the community that this is the problem they're trying to solve.
They let the community understand that this problem is a big problem. And for them coming to the blockchain space, they can solve it.
And they made the community believe in them.
So you could see it from 2019 till death the community is waxing stronger and that is
why you could probably see Bitcoin as at that time you could probably mind
Bitcoin as that in less than 24 hours you could mind 50 Bitcoin you could mind
hundred bit going to find that you did more than more than a thousand bit
copper coin now for you to get one bitcoin
automatically you are you are you are a legend you know so i feel this is the concept this is
me now sharing an idea to all the builders to all the believers to all the people founders devs
look at the solution to a problem let's see your project as the solution to a problem i can tell
you for a fact that you build a community around it so now project as the solution to a problem i can tell you for a
fact that you build a community around it so now if you are coming with a project what is that
solution what is that problem you are coming to solve because the problem i'm actually having
with most of the people right now people are actually infusing their business into blockchain
they're infusing their personal business to blockchain and you could see most projects
most coin those projects do not even could see um most projects most coin those
projects do not even have a roadmap most points don't even have a white paper so how do you want
the people to believe in what you're doing how do you want people to understand what you're doing
what's actually the vision behind what you're doing so i feel the e a c project we're looking
out for a long time we're looking out for a longer sustainability you know you should be able to create all the team you know probably see let me let me shock you there's
actually a particular depth that you know probably we could you know help them right uh a road but
people that are intellectually sound people that have the capacity to contribute to what you're
doing not people that are coming to shout let's's fucking go. Let me shock you. Shouting, let's fucking go, hosting spaces every day will never increase
the market cap, will never increase the community, but will actually increase getters. People
that will tap in, stay, when it goes up, they dump the coin and they go. But if you really
need people that want to, that believe in your vision, that are ready to ensure that
this project becomes,
even though not one of the best,
but one of the top best projects in the future.
You need intellectual people,
people that have a sound mind,
people that see the end from the beginning,
people that understand the vision behind what you are doing.
And you should actually be able to share the vision with them.
I'd like to tell you...
Hopefully you can find those people early
because once you make it,
then you get so many people coming towards you.
It's hard to know who to trust, right?
But at first, you know, trying to find people is tough.
If you're here and you're still looking for your team,
you're doing it wrong, right?
Because you should have... You should try to join and be part of a community and see what what you can add
Right, that's how when you first start out. That's what you do
and then if you when you figure out what you can add then you find a team that you can join and then
when you're doing that you
cultivate your own ideas in the back and slowly build towards your dream.
And then your team should come to you because you can see the resources and you can see how it all lines up.
You can see the opportunity because you can see all the puzzle pieces.
If you can't see all the puzzle pieces of the opportunity, then how do you know how it's going to play out in the end right if you can't find a way forward to play
out for it to play out properly and if that's a realistic path then there might not be one
so that's how you plan to be playing for what's possible what's up, Daisy? Yo, Triki, man. Like, big shout out to you.
I just wanted to say this and drop the mic because I need to go.
It's pretty late. It's like 12 midnight out here in Africa.
And this is the first off. I think there are so many approaches, if there's a word like that.
There are so many approaches to kind of running
a coin or running a community and all of that but at the end of the day if you are patient enough
and you are locked in well enough people come and go people come to projects and leave the project
but as time goes on i think somehow somehow the the right people would find their way to the
community they might not all just you know come at once but like they would find their way somehow
somewhere energy is something you can kind of fake so um the people who are faking energy would
eventually get tired of faking it at some point and they would drop off
and yeah like big shout out to you tricky and i wanted to ask the the weed token you were talking
about is there ever gonna be like sticking of the token or is that already life is there like a way
we can help you burn it. No, man.
I would burn that shit from my wallet.
I need the blockchain to get my footprints and know that my wallet bought something.
If you burn it, it becomes more rare.
So just burn it.
Yeah, true.
Scarcity.
Scarcity kinds of meat.
Don't do that.
I mean, you can burn it, but you only want to burn so much weed at a time. You don't want to go burning all your weed at once. You know what I mean you can burn it but you only want to burn so much weed at a time you don't want to go burning all your weed at once
You know what I mean? That's not that's not gonna be a good time. So you want to burn other people's weed? Yeah
That's really what you shit. That's what we're
So like
Location whenever I'm taking a smoke, you know, like whenever it's 420.
This is what happens.
A company can sponsor a giveaway, and then I make a merch item and a redeemable card for weed token.
Half of that token is burnt in a celebratory, like, ceremony on Fridays.
And the other half is giving back to the community
in various giveaways.
So the people who are active, who are participating,
they're going to get more weed.
And the people who want to get their advertising,
sponsor, to be nice or to get their name out there,
they're going to get that attention
With it with the token it's all gonna come from buying this token and burning half of it and giving the other half back away to the community
So you want you want to be talked about for longer you give away more we don't give away huge bags
We give away anywhere between like a half a dollar to like 50 bucks, 100 bucks.
We never give away like crazy amounts because we don't want someone to just like boom, sell it all and hurt the tart.
But also, if we do give away a big bag, we know we're going to have some money on the side because there's a good chance they're going to sell some of it.
So when they do sell it, I'm going to buy that dip back up and they're going to be, they're going to sell some of it. So when they do sell it, I'm going to buy that dip back up.
And they're going to be, they're going to go, damn it.
I instantly buy it.
The alarm goes off.
Hey, we just had a sale.
I'm like, oh, buy the dip.
There we go.
Now it's a green candle.
You know, people hate that shit when they sell something and it immediately goes up.
I just mess with them
It's still very early so like you know you can do stuff like that
You're noticeable when you make transactions on this chain still like
I want to get to like a thousand homies that are like all you know in early for a couple bucks and
and homies that are like all you know in early for a couple bucks and then yeah we can start
like i want to start planning out little weed parties and the only way you can get it is by
paying with weed so there's going to be vacations later different different amazing islands yeah I mean you'll
still be able to pay cash but you won't get any of the discounts or the experience that I've secured
for the team and for the for the people going? And if I can get this big enough,
we could even, like, Hawaii.
My goal, rent an entire cruise ship
for, like, 12 days, 14 days,
and do, like, an eastern, western, Caribbean cruise
where they basically just drop us off
at a different beach, like, every day
for, like, two weeks.
In, like, the most beautiful part of the world.
It's, like, all you can eat, all you can drink.
Obviously, all you can smoke.
International waters.
And a cruise ship has everything.
So we could do, you know, we could have comedy, music.
Obviously, there'd be, like, a little bit of gambling and shit but whatever i probably could just for the amount of gambling
and like tips and stuff like that i can probably work it out to be some kind of promotional deal
to advertise for like for a cruise line right to be like all right you're you know royal caribbean
or whatever is now my sponsor
They're giving us a cruise ship for two weeks as many people as I can book
I'll be like alright, I'm getting 4,000 DGENs and we're taking over the ocean
Let's go
But it is 709 and you know you know what that means, guys.
It is time to raid Mama Bear.
Let's go see where she's at.
Because if Mama Bear is live, I want to...
Yeah, she is.
All right.
I'm going over there.
Let's join her now.
All right.
See, I'm already over there.
I'm gone.
I'm not even here anymore.
Tricky has left the house.
It was a good show, everyone.
Appreciate you all being here.
Have a great day.
Jump into Mama Bear space.
I'm there right now.
Tricky out.
Bye, weed.
It was good seeing you.
Yeah, man. Anytime. We seeing you. Yeah, man.
Anytime. We're going to do
a giveaway. You forgot the giveaway.
Oh, fuck.
Can you just pull it and DM it?
Yeah, man. I got you.
All right, guys.
It was great seeing you all. I'll see you over at
Mama Bears. All right, momaders.
