we'll get back to that topic in in just one moment uh gm sam gm sam how you doing today
GM GM I'm good I'm good I'm half good good half bad how are you today
I was about to rug the space I'm not gonna lie I was just I'm like I'm not
gonna deal with this it's Sunday fun day I can I can good just go hang out with
the family I mean screw you guys if I. If you guys were going to do the silent
co-host, I was just going to do the silent show and not even, I was just going to rug it.
No, no, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, yeah.
Preparing, preparing. Last night we had a Dyla on the A-Pub, which was nice.
The night before we had Figgy, so it was back-to-back good shows.
Today I'm going to be running the GM show.
Other than that, we got a lot of things to prepare for this week. I mean, it's going to be crazy.
But it will be fun.
It will be fun.
Other than that, I don't know.
It's Sunday.
Yesterday we had a little Mentator action in the Coliseum,
which was interesting.
You know, the turnouts, the fighting.
A lot of people got horns i
think i woke up and i saw like it was rfdc that like has like two more than who yeah it was rfdc
that has more than 200 horns already uh which i find wild uh really going off in in the uh in the
coliseum so it will be um yeah it'll be interesting to see who, I guess, gets the most in the first, what is it, 24, 48 hours?
I think it's 48 hours, right?
That's what they're competing for.
I have zero.
I haven't even entered the Coliseum.
I'm not sure if I'm going to get my ass whooped or if I actually can hold up a fight.
I caught some of it, but obviously was tied up with other stuff, so couldn't watch all of the
matchups. I did see that
Froglings went pretty far,
and I think eventually
got taken out by
the G's, if I'm not mistaken, and
G's won it all. So congrats to the G's.
You know, holding it
down for Ape Chain.
You know,
most of you know me as like a G's holder
and everything like that, but yeah.
On that, I think there was a little
other unpacking, I guess you could say,
unboxing with the welcome packs from Uncle Mac and NGMI.
Not sure if anyone unpacked theirs. I still have to unpack three of mine. with the welcome packs from Uncle Mac and NGMI.
Not sure if anyone unpacked theirs.
I still have to unpack three of mine.
I haven't even... I didn't even look at them.
I was really tied up yesterday
with other things,
so I didn't unpack.
I'm not sure if Asun or Sam,
did you guys unpack any?
Did you have any welcome packs?
No, man.
For me, I have nothing and I wanted also to ask you about the game yesterday.
Is it available for all, everyone or for specific people to join?
Which game?
The Coliseum? The yeah yeah well it started off with like
the Dutchies like Dutchies tournament that he set up and then after that I
believe they opened up to to anyone can battle anyone so you can enter the
Coliseum as long as you have a mint tour and obviously like the highest ones whoever has like I think it's based off
traits and then you'll have moves that you can like stances that you can you can select and
based off that your stats you know reflect and you can play off that so yeah I mean I from my
understanding I know it was shut down for like about an hour maybe,
a little bit less or around that, maybe a little bit more.
But now it's back live again.
And I'm pretty sure what I read is first, second, and third prize over the next,
I think it's 48 hours, we'll get three prizes.
Let me find the post and I'll I'll pin it up top
Yeah, I mean like if we could find each other
I'm not sure if we can select each other like if if you have a mintator and I have a mintator
We can both like find each other and and fight directly or if it's random
I didn't I didn't catch on that. I just saw that in the in the tournament
There was actually pairings, you know,
because they were doing bracket style.
So maybe someone else knows,
or someone that has tried it out can fill in on that.
Like I mentioned, I haven't gone into like the Coliseum yet.
So I'm interested to see like other people
that maybe have tested it out.
Let me see if I can find this post i'm not sure if it was from
mintators or from from dutchy's account then i hear it is i'm gonna pin it up top
so so it's for you is it is it still live i mean or is that so uh yeah yeah it's 48 hours. Is it still live, I mean? Or is that so...
Yeah, yeah.
It's going to be live like always,
is my understanding.
It's just like right now,
there's like for the first 48 hours,
like you'll see pinned up top,
first place gets 2,000 ape,
Mentator's PFP,
and a one-of-one wooden sword
created by the ape chain team.
And then second place gets 600 ape 600 a G's on ape and
third place gets 400 ape and token gator
And that's over the next 48 hours well now it's less obviously it was from when the tournament ended or from the time of this post
I'm guessing about 21 hours. So yeah a day down
And like I mentioned there's some people that are stacking them up. I think it was yeah
It's rfdz that I saw that had like 215 already
I'm guessing he has a pretty good mint tour that has taken a lot of you out
Whoop an ass whooping all your asses if you're playing because i haven't tried yet so
i'm not included i'll probably get my ass whooped too though i'm not gonna lie i mean i have i have
golden armor but like you know i feel like like they mentioned yesterday armor uh gold is kind
of brittle like and it's not it's not gonna but I see that these hoodies are pretty badass.
So it'll be interesting who wins the most in the next, I guess it's a little over 24 hours.
We had someone join us. GM Rick, how's it going today?

gm gm i literally bro i'm not gonna lie to you guys i went to bed probably about
five and a half hours ago so uh it was UFC and it went super late.
So I don't know why it went so late, man.
Like, I didn't get it.
But anyway, I've had five and a half hours sleep.
But I have just made a, I don't even know what this is.
What do you call two doubles?
Quadruple, I guess.
Quadruple expresso.
So I think I should be okay.
Jesus,
my brain's still firing up.
Oh man,
that's,
yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
power to you.
I saw,
I saw the announcement there.
I was in daddy mode after,
after the eight pub space yesterday.
I meant to jump in.
I just got to like,
you know, it got pretty late and my little ones were, we to jump in, just got to like, you know,
it got pretty late and my little ones were still awake.
So I was like, oh no, we gotta do the soft music, lay down,
and I guess kind of fell asleep with them.
Woke up pretty early, started like doing some things
and then like it's been, not gonna lie,
it's been crazy cold down here.
Just because we're going into winter, you know, so just adjusting to that, yeah, it's, definitely want to stay in bed in the mornings,
so yeah, I definitely wanted to sleep in a little bit longer, but like, you know, once you get things
going, and I should probably do the espresso thing, or something like that, or coffee, you know once you get things going and I should probably do this espresso thing or
something like that or coffee you know I mean I don't do much of that I do I do a little bit of
tea I'm more of a tea person I'm not gonna lie bro my dog is a killer she wakes me up I swear
bro she wakes me up at like 8 30 this morning so I only went to bed at like I think 6 30 or 7 so
she wakes me up at 8 30 so obviously she wants to go
out so i'm like cool i'll let her out so i go i let her out bro i let her out she goes and chills
outside she comes back in she's making noise she's making noise she's making noise eventually i'm
like fuck it i'm gonna get up bro i get up guess what? Jumps into bed and goes to sleep. Bro, you can't write this shit, honestly.
Really, bro.
I'm like, nah, she's on her back here,
spread eagle,
on her back,
enjoying life, sleeping on the bed.
Basically, kicked me out of my own bed.
Yeah, I'm not
going to lie.
I woke up, I mean, I don't blame your dog because of how cold it is here. I would a dog just because it's like, you know, she has to go out and pee sometimes at like 6 a.m.
And I stand out there and I have to go.
And, yeah, it's a great way to like, it's not like comparable to a cold shower.
I used to do like the cold shower in the morning thing for a little while.
Like, you know, like I'm talking about like just straight cold water not like not even like man it was rough at first but see it's not that bad
but it's still like you know just standing out there and i mean like five minutes feels like
forever at times um but you do it for the little ones right you do it for your little mascot you do it for your
little puppies and stuff like that your your little shebas and stuff uh so you gotta love them
they they keep us in a routine bro i don't think it's a bad thing you know like
bro dogs love a routine so and being a degen you don't tend to have a routine so the dog is like
keeping me in line bro she's like wake up this
is the time to wake up this is the time we go walk every day and touch grass like i can't get
away with not touching grass one day bro in the week not even one day so yeah even if it's pissing
down with rain bro it's it's walk time so yeah it's good bro it's good to have it's good to have
a little
mascot that pushes you like that, and tells you, come on, come on, keep going, keep going, uh, so,
bro, I give her a lot of credit for, uh, my work ethic, is because of her, because she's, you know,
keeping me in line all the time, keeps me in a routine, uh, if I try to stray off the routine,
like this morning, you know, bro, she puts me in line.
She's like, get your ass up.
Like, I don't care that you're up till 6am.
Get your ass up and work.
And then jumps into bed and is snoring on her back now.
Yeah.
But yeah, bro, crazy UFC night last night as well.
But it was good just vibing with everyone in the VC.
I love that shit, bro. And we're all celebrating as well um but it was good just for having with everyone in the vc i love that shit bro and we're all celebrating as well um floor price has gone crazy since since i've taken over
in the last week of msc which i'm very grateful for so yeah bro like onwards and upwards it's
like it's hard to sleep bro when there's like i i lying in bed. I'm thinking bro. There's so much to do
For this project. I can't be like sleeping either. So yeah, let's let's get smashing
It's Sunday, but it's actually like a Monday for for us DGENs. I feel like
Yeah, I agree I agree and I
Don't know if I didn't catch the results so maybe we'll
go over that I did I do want to ask though like you know you had a she was
Saturday any updates you wanted to go over I know you've I mean you've been
updating us mostly here in the GMH show so maybe not too much but since it was
Saturday I mean you know I'm part of the club too so maybe like for people that
missed out a little refresher
yeah bro so um it's like yes obviously we we like everyone's very excited with like the floor price
going up and everything but that's not like the main focus uh i think the main the main focus is
what crypto bullies is doing now is to get those anti-dotes onto ape chain so that's official now
like it was never
official like when i was telling you guys that on the space that was like alpha um now it is
official so uh we are going to be moving the antirodes to ape chain uh leaving the shibas on
on uh on eth and then we may do shadows or something in the future but just just the
antirodes will be moving to ape chain
um and then yeah bro that's like when it comes to msc obviously every monday we have our town hall
meeting uh but we introducing a new space from this week and it's every wednesday and it's a
hundred percent law-based um space law and music so we're going to be like listening to music from the community.
And then also, uh, we've been doing Shiba stories, which I didn't know if it would be a hit or not,
but I thought, let me just try it anyway. Um, and so I basically got all of my, my holders to,
well, not all of them, but a lot of them have started to, uh, write stories about their favorite achievers
that they hold, you know, and what I'm going to be doing is implementing that law into
the law of MSC.
So like these great stories that these people are writing, um, we've got Babs in the community.
She's, she's amazing at reading and stuff.
She was reading the story last night.
We, we really enjoyed it.
Uh, and so I think that it's a good way to like build.
I think like having the community involved in the law and kind of building the law out
with the project is an exciting thing. And it also just gives people that chance to be
seen. So, you know, bring them up if they want, let their story be read, or I can read
it out myself, or we can get someone to read it for them. But they want, let their story be read, or I can read it out myself, or we can get
someone to read it for them. But they really feel involved, you know, the community in this project
and in the future of the project. So when we update the law on the website, and we're going
to turn that more into like a graphic novel type of thing, more on that later. But basically,
these stories that everyone's writing i'm going
to implement everything into our overall law that we have so all of these little characters that
these people are building within the story are going to all kind of meet at an intersection and
there'll be new law that will come out uh about msc and so every wednesday we're going to be doing a law space talking about stories and
just nerding out a little bit about like you know web3 like the shit we like to do bro just
use our creative brains and just like have fun vibing out with each other over it um
yeah i'm very excited about it and then obviously obviously the pet brand that's being cooked at the moment.
I'll have the name probably released next week for what the pet brand's name is.
But that's already set in stone.
I just want to get it registered and trademarked before I release it.
So no one tries to nick that name.
But yeah, I think the name is amazing for the pet brand.
Obviously, it's not going to be Mutant Shiba Club.
That's not what we're doing.
We're trying to go after Web 2 people.
So we're going to be advertising on Instagram, Facebook, Etsy, Amazon Marketplace, eBay,
all of those Web 2 type of platforms.
We'll be advertising these pet pet products matching hoodies for
like the owners and the pets of course we'll still do the web 3 promotion and marketing like i've
been doing but we really want to lean into and spend uh you know spend the funds wisely on
advertising in web 2 so really going hard on targeted advertising within like instagram which you can do to like pet
owners and stuff like that and then working with um pet influencers on instagram tiktok all of these
different platforms giving them affiliate marketing codes and then giving them a really good rate so
they work with us and they put the the merch on their pets and they use the the merch on their pets and so they'll be making uh you know some good bank of that we've got a decent size instagram 22 000
uh and then obviously our ex is also quite good um we've got 160k and we do get like
crazy engagement on that so working with these pet influencers we can offer them you know a boost on
their um on their like um, on their,
like their views and everything. And they can obviously make a bit of money out of it too. So
yeah, just trying to build different, bro. Like trying to do something that I haven't really seen
too many people do or no one do in this space is go after the pet, the pet markets, uh, in terms
of merch and all of that. So to do something different break them all hopefully
you know it works we're not going to go crazy on on spending so that it like you know that's like
our main focus we've got a lot of different focuses like that like the dap and the swaps
and the mutations and a future token that we're going to have to release in order to use the dap
once the antidotes run out all of that stuff yes But the pet brand is going to be kind of what's going to keep the project running long term.
You know, that's a pure Web2 business that we're setting up and that we're going to be running.
So that's for the longevity of MSC.
And in terms of no matter what happens, bull market, bear market,
we're still going to be doing you know, doing well with, with our web to pet
brand. So that's, that's my primary focus now is like building those things out for MSC and getting
those like strong foundations going in terms of like revenue. And then obviously migrating the
contract onto a new contract on ETH because we don't have enforced royalties. So that will help the project as well long-term. So yeah, there's a lot. Bro, my to-do list is stacked at the moment. I could sit here
for hours telling you guys like all the alpha, but I'll just leave it at that. There's a lot
more to it. If you guys want to find out any more, DM me or in the Discord, the weekly town hall minutes is a good place to go.
Every week I do a town hall with the community on a Monday
and just take any of their concerns, tell them about the budget,
how we're doing with the budget, any goals we have.
And so, yeah, Monday, Wednesday, and then Shiba Saturday.
So we're starting to get a lot more active, a lot more spaces, a lot more opportunity
for the community to get involved with the project.
And that was my goal with taking over MSC.
So all systems go, bro.
Everything's fired up.
And I'm just grateful for all the support
and looking forward to a prosperous 2025.
Awesome. Yeah, yeah.
I think a lot of, you know,
bullishness in the space going into like this June,
I've changed summer kind of thing.
I've been mentioning before, you know,
and MSC is definitely part of that.
Are you thinking of potentially down the road,
just since you're doing the pet brand thing uh eventually like possibly setting up collabs
with other like you know people in the space if they're interested in and doing something similar
yeah of course so that that would be like the objective is kind of like get different projects
in web3 to do collabs with us so that they can offer these uh merch items to
their communities with like um like you know like a collab branding thing that that's that's
ultimately like what would be good for us within web3 is to get all of these uh things so you know
like a board ape cross mutant shiba club um like bulletproof vest for your pug like just i just randomly just came up
with that in my head but something like that like not a real bulletproof vest like a harness that
looks like a bulletproof vest uh or something to that effect you know something cool that i think
that's like edgy that that would stand out i've also spoken about the cuban link uh chain so maybe
like a cuban link chain for a dog
with like an ape chain logo on it. That would be like our collab we could do with ape chain. So
I'm thinking of a lot of collabs definitely within Web3. There is a company already called
DAKO, D-A-I-K-O. And what they do is they've got a leash that measures like you walking your dog and you earn exp off that
I'm trying to set up collabs like with that. So
I think that's the only pet thing I've seen in web 3
But I am on the the hunt at the moment to find other
Type of pet stuff there isn't too much like I say
But but partnering up with them and then of course with the merch we're going
to have like a side of it that's going to be uh philip philip geez i'm not even going to try to
say it's philanthropic i did there i think i said it right uh but like it basically want to give back
to to to the dogs uh with with the pet brand uh as well so like also that that's part of my my whole whole thing and my my whole
uh plan for for msc um but yeah bro just i just want to do something different bro i've been in
the space for three years i've seen everyone do the same old bro like merge this that like i'm
trying to do different shit here mutate swap uh basically reveal like a one of one when you're basically
doing those mutations and swap, go after pet brands, go after pets, not like black hoodies
and like what everyone else does. And so, so I'm just trying to do different shit because I've
been in this space for so long and I'm so bored of seeing the same fucking roadmap over and over
and over. And I'm just looking to do anything that might break the
mold and bring us to the project so um that's where that's where the whole pet brand the stories
even bro the stories don't underestimate the shiva stories like last night there was some magic that
happened in the space like everyone was like oh man this so dope. I think you heard some of them, Agent.
It was just a vibe to just to hear like people's creativity within like the community and like these stories that they're coming up about their Shibas based on the traits that they
have.
And it's dope, man.
Honestly, it's so dope.
And when we can implement that into the overall story of MSC, these people are going to feel
seen. They're going to feel seen.
They're going to feel a part of a project.
And I think sometimes that's worth more than money.
Like for me personally, that's worth more than money is to be seen, to feel a part of something,
really, truly a part of something, to be written in history with the project.
That's something unique, something that not many projects give you an opportunity to do.
And it's not something that's going to cost us a lot but it's definitely something that we can
amplify and we can make an amazing experience so yeah bro i i'm absolutely fired up for for the
shiba stories and it might not sound like a big thing but i if you were there last night you know
like people were just vibing with those stories, man. So excited, bro.
Very excited.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
I think it'll be exciting times to come for sure.
Looking forward to it.
Obviously, I mentioned before I'm part of the club.
Ever since the anniversary not that long ago.
Assoon also joined our co-host our wild
card are you able to talk all right all right doing this thing doing this thing absolutely
nothing uh looking thank you as soon for holding it down holding it down represent representing
msc so you're allowed to stay up here uh aurelius pink bear how you doing yeah gm gm gm gm gm gm um what can i say um rick really
looking forward to seeing what you're um you know what you're planning and what you're going to put
out there in the future you know you hit the nail on the head in terms of you know it's just so many projects are recycling excuse me
the old meta and you know there's there's a real lack of innovation on that part as to
you know what what they're trying to achieve or what they're putting forward and i think sometimes
just just from my experience not just from web3 but you know um in my career at IRL, what I find is people don't know their why.
They don't know why they're doing what they're doing.
That could be in their career.
That could be, you know, the customers and the blue chips I work with day to day in that
the products and services are not actually sure what problem they're trying to provide
they're not actually sure what problem they're trying to provide a solution for and i think
a solution for.
that in its own right if if people concentrate on looking for a problem not looking for problems
but looking for a problem and then developing a solution that that that really really maximizes
the potential of solving that then then you'll find that they'll have more success
sense of solving that then then you'll find that they'll have more success um and then just from
me just uh did some adulting this morning put some washing out had a brew had some breakfast
gmgm space was on so i'm chilling now having a cup of coffee listening to you boys and girls
and people and then i need to go and work these cheeks cheeks
let's go I just wanted a pause after that but yes yes I think exciting times ahead I think that's that's how I could sum it down there's summit down some it
up I don't know it's it's one of those mornings I think that's how I could sum it down. Or sum it down, sum it up.
I don't know, it's one of those mornings I think.
My co-hosts are killing it.
I don't even know if Sam's even around.
So I'm worried of how I'm gonna wrap this up.
How I'm gonna, don't laugh as soon.
You're about to get kicked by the way.
Sorry, I think this is just gonna to be the new quality i said i was
going to rework the show and and level up the quality i don't think my co-host got got the
note got the email um but aurelius aurelius please you know what it's funny you say this
and i'm gonna do that but and do you know what one thing about the pink bear is i never show
unless someone asks me, I never show.
But I'm going to show something I did this morning because it's pertinent to this discussion.
I've I've written a thread in terms of how people could potentially maximize spaces, you know, whether it's hosts, co-hosts, etc.
Just giving them a little bit of feedback or a little bit of direction as to to how how they can do that um
i don't know if the silent co-host is a thing i'm not sure i'm not sure agent how do you feel about
that uh i i mean i'm not gonna lie it puts me on my toes uh and it's made me a much better i think
host uh and then and forced me to like you
know realize that sometimes you're alone like just like you came into this world
but ass never alone when I'm around if you are never alone when I'm around don't
do that don't do that until until you leave me for the gym you know you know
that's a lie you've got to keep active.
These web three streets, if you don't look after yourself,
you'll be in your mum's basement or a stranger's basement.
You'll be 300 pounds snacking on Cheetos, not hydrating.
You've not showered in days.
You've not moisturized in days.
You're no longer demure.
The women don't like you because you smell funky.
The men don't like you because you smell funky, the men don't like you because you smell crusty, the other people don't like you because you're
just weird, and you know, life goes downhill from there, and then on top of that, you've
probably got a gambling addiction and a gambling debt in which you can't ever recover from,
so you just live in the circle of strife, so yeah, sorry, that was basically why you
strife so yeah sorry that was basically why you need to work out people
need to work out people.
coming from the gym good morning apeshane i totally agree get your steps in get your damn
fucking workout in good morning good morning nana how are the vibes going today after that really really i don't know it was kind of like i felt i was i
looked at myself i had to step in front of the mirror and be like am i being personally attacked
i don't even gamble like i mean i guess i've made some bets but like not not like
not like like i i felt like were you talking to me, Pink Cheeks? Well, that doesn't matter. I would never attack
you on your space. I would never attack
anyone on a space. I'm just saying
if the shoe fits,
then put it on.
If you're, if you've, look,
if you look like the Mitch
I got muted
Hard muted
Agent I don't know if that was you or the
Silent co-host
That was one of the silent essence
I think it was literally silent essence
Oh dear
Look final point on this
And I'll move on I wasn't attacking anyone
If you look like the Mitchell-Lynn man
You might need to
Lay off the croissants.
I speak French. What is the croissant?
Yes.
Yes, yes. That's not correct.
Hola.
Hola, this is Spanish.
It's not French.
Yes, yes.
It's Italian.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
My vocabulary.
Let me get an AI and see if it can help me.
No, I was in too many countries in Europe.
I was waiting for Sam to hit us with some of the...
He always throws in random languages that Sam knows out of nowhere.
And I'm like, damn, Sam, where did you come out with that?
Sam, Sam, you didn't have that you didn't
catch that one what was that that was japanese right i was talking japanese here
obviously i'm just kidding um but i really itlius. I don't even know why I said Aurelius.
I actually meant to go to Nana.
Nana, update a little later.
I think you have a stream going on today.
Full Sunday, fun day.
Give me a surprise, Lina.
Give me a surprise, Wiener. I just heard robot sound.
Check one, two.
Can you hear me now?
Yes, loud.
Check one, yeah, perfect, thanks.
Yeah, gonna stream tonight in some hours.
It's like, yeah, close to three, roughly in four hours, you could catch me now playing some beautiful
Did I run? Oh, oh, Assoon, did you wape him?
Assoon, you know, he's part of the mutant Chibaiba Club like you don't have to wape him
Like assume you you got it you got it like stop beating the silent as soon man like
Man, I don't think that was Sam so like he has not remain. I didn't write it. It was a man
All right, Sam are you here am I rugging I could be right I just see a much more they're not driving Nana is requesting Oh nice yes I think we got Nana back up here Nana
Jake one two is my connection working now perfect perfect perfect loud and clear
well nice finally yeah my my internet my cell phone connection is dragging me
always in my home area so I have to wait until I hop back into the Wi-Fi.
Opa!
So let me put in my headset so it gets easier for me. Yeah, I'm going to stream tonight.
I'm playing some beautiful records in OV to finish the week, guys. We'll be like a little bit
progressive, but not fully progressive melodic that comes a week later also so we start
ramping up the pace slowly there um coming on friday we're gonna have a mint
ape chain on top properly we are working hard on it to make it possible for everyone
so stay tuned put notifications on and I'm working this one out with Rick
as well as some other beautiful Ape Chain music
which will be pushed via Mutant Records to the chain.
So Mutants work together everywhere.
Yep, even here, so love it.
But maybe, Agent Sam, what's going on with the Albatross Mint tomorrow?
Sam, what's going on with the Albatross mint tomorrow?
Do we want to mint tomorrow or do we have to wait another day?
Do we want to mint tomorrow or do we have to
wait another day?
I'm actually
woke up to some news,
so I don't know. Maybe Sam can fill us in,
to be honest.
No one is ready, man.
You guys are not
ready.
I'm ready.
I got my ape loaded.
Yeah.
Okay, Nana is ready.
Who else is ready?
I still don't have my ticket.
Maybe you have to do some more emojis so the ticket will come to you. What the hell is going on here, bro?
I have no idea, man was i was like i thought i
that's guys i leave i leave the space for a few days i go to nfc lisbon i come back and the space
is a wreck bro yeah bro it's like it's like bro bro bro agent come on come on be silent now it's
like let's let's the big guys, let's the old ones talk.
Just kidding, bro.
Yeah, no, that was the minute of silence.
Bye-bye, Ivatros.
We loved having you.
We're not getting any information, so Rick,
we just had to process this until the Ivatros comes back properly.
Yeah, but maybe, like, it's a beautiful Sunday I would say it's raining
over here but we have a hot week ahead
so I will be swimming a lot
while producing music I can't wait for that
like a dream week coming
ahead with 30 degrees
but I think my good friend Rick
is jealous on 30 because he lives
on 40 degrees during this week so
can't wait can't wait but yeah is jealous on 30 because he lives in 40 degrees during this week.
Can't wait. Can't wait.
But yeah,
sad to see that the Ibatross flight is a little bit delayed, but yeah,
this is how airlines work.
They're just like, yeah,
sometimes a bit goofy and let you wait
a little bit longer until they have
a damn plane ready.
So Sam, next time, don't book on a Boeing.
Book it on an Airbus.
So they fly.
That's guaranteed.
Because Europeans don't play around these airline routes
and make everything right with two systems
for every backup in a plane and all these things.
So book an Airbus and your flight will go smoothly.
Just my tip. Because personally since this boeing thing happened i never enter a boeing plane again
until they have like a year under the heavy european leadership
do you know that the albatros wings few years ago they helped the study for the airbus uh airplane i know the
airbus a380 it's a big one yep it's an albatross technically um yeah but it's fun. It's a general fun how much we learn from animals
in terms of aerodynamics,
how much we can learn from their fizzas,
like from duck,
how to make water not sticky to your body
and all these things.
So nature is incredible.
That's just my eyes.
my eyes but what's cooking today on a chain guys i think i think you're cooking right i mean you
But what's cooking today on Ape Chain, guys?
say you're gonna mix up some stuff uh we're also gonna be doing um i think there's some more battles
like how we mentioned with the mint tours i didn't see too much like other well i think
unboxing also like i i mentioned that earlier there's
some unboxing going on from the welcome packs
unboxing nice I miss these packs honestly so looking forward what you guys got
Yeah, I was I was I was like I actually missed it also yesterday I was a little tied up with some other things even the Mentor's battle. I didn't catch them all
It was a
See like I mentioned a little bit earlier,
with the froglings going up there.
I think they also had a little bit of β the Gs ended up on top,
like how I mentioned.
Do you have a request?
We'll get Alex Lee up here.
And then I tried to get some stuff done before you know I got
into like the a pub at night we had dial up from abstract join us which was
pretty good and then tomorrow or not tomorrow I'm sorry tonight we're gonna
have J bond so that's gonna be fun at the a pub you can check that in with
Gucci on a I'll find the post and I'll get that pindle tough uh but we do have um alex lee that just joined us
how you doing gmgm gm gm guys how's it going you all okay good weekend yeah yeah yeah
awesome oh i was just saying it's absolutely boiling in portugal this is probably
the it's probably the hottest day i've had it's uh we're down the south in the argav and it's
literally i've just gone to the shop and come back and i'm just sweating buckets it's roasting so i'm
just sitting sitting on my bed now having a having a nice uh relax i've just come back from uh nfc lisbon absolutely fantastic if anyone is
thinking of going next year definitely go honestly it's uh an amazing experience it was my first
my first event my crypto event everyone everyone there is just so friendly it's funny because you
walk around and uh there's loads there's people that you probably speak to every single day on x and then
you meet them and you're like oh so that's what you look like you know it's it's cool and uh i met
phil phil was there phil watkins uh he was cool chap uh i see rick down there listening it's funny
because we were in the same room rick when you were listening to his web free gaming dead and i
can't believe we missed each other and we were literally probably sitting next to each other but it was an awesome it was an awesome conversation it was literally
the uh the host eva she did she did a bit of a spin on it on the talk so there's a panel at the
top there was a there was seth from uh the co-founder of sandbox was up there and then there's
phil next to him and then the two girls who were i can't sorry i can't remember the name sophia and i can't remember the other one but
one was from pixels and the other one i can't remember either but they pitted them against
each other so the boys phil and seth were saying they were arguing about web free gaming and how
it's not dead and how it's still progressing and the girls were trying to do a counter argument
saying oh web free gaming is is dead and this is why and at the end of it we determined that web free gaming is not dead and
we are still thriving so that was a really cool uh speech to listen to you know so many little
there's loads of there's about five different rooms around in in the pavilion so you've got
the freedom to walk around you can go check them all out. You can listen to loads of different speakers.
There's a lot of art involved.
So if you're into art, you can go there, listen to people talking.
There's a funny one, actually, in the main stage.
So every time they had like an interval between speeches,
there was a Flappy Birds game.
So they put it on and you basically had a QR code on the screen
and you all scanned it and then everyone in the whole
room played and it was a pity it's so funny honestly it's you had about 100 birds on the
screen bouncing up and down trying to get through these pipes but no it was really cool honestly
i've come back with loads of energy and you know loads of loads of new connections you know i've
got some connections it's funny because i was walking around and i actually saw there was a
there was a stand ton battlefield it's a game on telegram and the the game developers are new one from they
developed our game in the past so it's quite cool to find people that you actually knew
rick probably also agrees i have never drunk so much wrecked drinks in my life
they had a stand with wrecks on there you there, you just help yourself to the drinks.
You know, you never had to buy a drink pretty much unless you wanted alcohol.
So you could just like walk around.
There was drinks there, water on the tables.
They had the three flavours of the Rekt.
So you had that.
You went outside.
You had all the food vendors.
I had a hot dog.
Really nice.
I also had some noodles, which was also really nice too.
So yeah, it's really, really fantastic, honestly so you can tell how good it was how i'm speaking and trying to get you all to go next year
but honestly you guys got you got to go you got you know it's uh it's i'm i know nf nfc uh nft
new york's coming up next but i think that'll probably just be as good but yeah going doing
okay for a sunday guys you know i'm glad to be here and glad to be back on the spaces with you guys i've seen that you
pinned up my little petition it's funny because i saw casey casey was talking about it on the on
the chat and i was thinking well you know the really the bots are a big issue in the space
they are killing a lot of projects i've seen it not you know not even recently it's been happening since 2021 from we when we started you know people what happens is
people you know there's nothing wrong with selling absolutely nothing wrong with selling at all you
know that's why we're here make a profit but what happens is when you wear sometimes when people
wear for when they wait it goes to it's a bot behind the other profile and they have it and
what they'll do is they will
then list it on floor like at lowest but then what will happen then is someone else will wef
and then they'll have a listing wall so the bots will fight against each other until they're at the
most lowest possible price and then what happens is new people come you're there shilling the hell
out of your project and trying to say look we've this is our project they go the first thing they
do is they go to the open seal magic heat and check the floor price and if your floor price is like
0.00 blah blah like 10 bucks they're gonna go oh this is a bit of a trap project the bloody floor
price is crap and there's no no issue with the projects it's not the fault of the project or
the community or anyone it's because the bots are just going nuts at each other and like you say i
know i know you shouldn't really judge a project by the by the floor price because well you shouldn't because you know they
do a lot like look at ours at rugdolls we've got 0.004 but you know we've been working our ass off
for three years you know but it's just it's just i think i think that you know the only way because
reader and uh and casey i've heard a lot of conversations in spaces like, how do you do this?
You know, they've been asking them to blacklist wallets on the marketplace,
but you can't blacklist wallets because all they'll do is to make a new wallet
and then it just starts again.
So I put a little petition there if you want to have a look at it
at the top on the Jumbotron, you know, why don't we just remove WEF and WEAP?
You know, it doesn't, if if that's gone the bots can't
no one can weep or weep and then they can't have the bidding wars and the only way the bots can buy
is by doing it genuinely but that then needs a person behind the computer to actually do it
so it's a problem solved and i just think it'll be the way forward i don't know if anyone wants
to add on to that yeah alex uh yeah pity i didn't get to meet you bro um but yeah definitely was
in the same room as you watched that whole uh watch watch phil's uh speech and everything i
actually spoke on the main on the i'm not in the main stage on the meme stage um i at on the same
day but just slightly later um about ai uh AI, uh, was a great speech.
Um, but yeah, about the, what, what you're speaking about also NFC was amazing, by the
way, also agree.
Uh, and the rectorings, yes, I still have, I think I have like eight still, uh, because
at the end of the, the thing, the lady was like, please, please, please just take these,
take as many as you want, because the lady that was working at the store because they had to still like take all those away there
were still so many left at the end i honestly don't know what they did there was like cases
on cases still like lined up uh but yeah anyway i just want to speak about the bot thing because
uh obviously like running a project um i've been looking into this heavily um man it's insane and
it's not just i think it's not even just on on ape chain you know like like mutant shibas on on
eth um and we like we've been battling like these bots for a long long long time like they literally
it's just an annoyance that there are genuine people out there bidding,
and they're getting outbid by like one cent at the last minute by a bot.
And the bot ends up just trying to flip it on the floor, putting like more pressure, you know.
So I don't know how to combat it, but what I've been doing, like obviously with MSC and stuff,
is we took out
all the bots with like a couple sweeps so we don't have any like well at the moment there are
no bots so there's no like constant listing or anything like that but those bots are circling
right now they're just trying to get suppliers so you know like you can go in bed right now and it will just outbid you literally like so i last night i put the the the top offers
0.016 it outbid me to 0.0161 like by like 0.0001 like it just fucking like one cent more
and if you put it up it'll do it'll do it the same and these bots are super clever I must say like the way that they operate is good because they'll they'll push you out push you out push you up and then like they'll
cancel the bid so then you've got like bid stacked up at the top which is a good thing obviously
because you want to have those but then what they'll do is they'll come above all of that
with a bid matching all of your bids below so if it's
five bids below they'll hit like five above yours and then you're like oh shit like this this bot's
super aggressive so uh man i don't know how to combat this i don't even know like if the we
thing is i mean it it is kind of like a good solution i just think people wouldn't like it
because then that really becomes like illiquid
like you know like nfts are quite illiquid already and if you take away that it becomes even more
illiquid so my personal strategy right now and i'm happy to say it live on the space is i just
i'm just going to bid very close to the floor because if you bid close to the floor there's no
gap there's no room for like um for the bots to make anything
whatsoever so you know that's my strategy but how long can you do that for you know that that's
that's the question um but yeah that's it it is a problem and that was like the concern that came
up on aid chain to be totally transparent when when we did discuss it with the community and this
wasn't like just one person it was like a general consensus is that this there is a slight problem
on a chain with the the bots and i think that it's worse than it is on eth because they like will
like try to like underbid each other like constantly um whereas the ones on each tend to
like just sit at like
a price and and constantly relist at that price so i don't know exactly what's happening on on
a chain and why those bots are working the way that they are but definitely something that needs
to be looked at i think uh because like this this was the consensus from my community. So it wasn't like one person. This is like a bunch of people like asking them.
And that,
you know,
that that's,
it's just something that I think needs to be fixed.
That's all like we can fix this,
but we just need to address it.
Yeah.
And we might have to like,
you know,
I don't think there's one answer that might be available at the moment.
I'm going to have to just like revisit this over and over and have these conversations.
Like other things, other concerns we've had in the space, I think, you know, that's healthy, that's good.
Because honestly, I don't know if, like, I think that's an option that could be explored
and it probably could work against the bots.
It just might also, like how how Rick mentioned it might work against like
you know the customer base and obviously like these platforms are competing to
each other so it's like that hurts magic eating for example I'm pretty sure like
open see won't won't do the same like they'll just take advantage of that
moment because it's like they can take on those you know unhappy customers so
I I mean it would it would have to be like multiple platforms like multiple marketplaces
doing it at the same time which that would be a hard challenge you know um I mean it's
I don't know if like maybe some kind of solution with like AI could be done where if like they could identify as bots,
maybe they just almost like freeze those bids,
freeze those like, you know, waves.
I don't know if that's even possible.
I mean, but I think having these conversations
could bring up like, you know,
concerns that people have.
It's definitely not good, you know,
underbidding and just racing to the bottom almost.
I don't know if anyone has any any ideas my my my really um you know great it's very this is a very tough topic like i've even discussed this with ai and even ai is like
you know it does kind of like stumble when you ask it like well you know what do you do here because uh like the it's madness that these bots are happy to make 20 cents that's the thing like
that's the madness is that like a floor will be much higher and they'll push the floor all the
way down not caring that they're only going to make 20 cents do you know what i mean instead of
being patient waiting a while it's like a bidding war to get to
the bottom which is not good like yeah so i i don't know if reader says that you can blacklist
wallets maybe that's just the thing like bro you can easily see if someone's like a bot and and
then maybe just blacklist them from the chain you know but then it becomes a question of like
decentralization and like are you are you messing too much with like the decentralization aspects of crypto,
which,
which is not good.
So man,
it's just,
it's a tough subject.
And I think that if you're a heavy holder in a project or running a project or
anything,
you,
you're a lot more aware of,
of how bad this problem is.
Then maybe if you just like buying a project and holding.
Maybe you don't see that botting activity as much.
But if you go have a look and just look at the main collections,
I mean, even Cheese on Ape, the botting activity is wild.
And I think that readers, you know, frustrated.
Every founder gets frustrated with it, like every single founder,
because it's an annoyance it's an annoyance to the project that it's kind of you know like
people wanting to flip for like a sense instead of that good deal going to like a genuine holder
especially with like rare trades like i hate seeing that because the the bots get it and then
they're like they're they won't list it at floor they're
listed slightly above floor but like it's just an annoyance that that could have gone into the
hands of like someone who really wanted it at a really good deal you know but no it goes to the
bot and then they have to pay the premium to the bot to get that asset back and yeah it's it's madness yeah I agree I mean and maybe we should just explore
other options you know I don't know if maybe you know there's been like liquidity
options whether it's like taking loans or or some other things that's whether
you know other things that are available now you know, other things that are available now, you know, sorry about that.
But there's definitely probably other salutes that could be explored.
Sorry, give me one second.
I'm in daddy mode.
I apologize.
I think that like the royalties is the, the, the royalties is a thing, like enforcement of royalties
is a big thing that like needs to maybe come back into the space because I think that that's,
that prevents, you know, a lot of, uh, botting activity.
If there is like even just a 5% type of, uh, royalty, um, on, on a collection and it's kind of you know it's it's that that whole
culture has gone away from from the space and people actually will find or
won't be happy if an artist or projects making that that royalty fee but that
that does kind of combat those those bots to a certain. But at the same time, it doesn't really
because the other side of it is that they're getting those,
you know, they're still bidding on the rare traits
and all of that.
And with that, there's a huge markup that they make on it.
So, you know, if they get it at floor price
and then they can list it at like a 4X
and they make a sale, that's a great for for a bot
that's amazing uh the main thing is that these guys like the way you have to look at it is that
they don't give a shit like they've got these bots are like machines that are running so they're not
even looking at like the collections and what it's bidding on they don't care like all they care is
like oh i made five dollars today i made $5 today. I made $6 today. I made $20 tomorrow.
I made $30 today, whatever it might be.
They're just looking at the bottom line of like how much are they making.
I mean, at the detriment to all of the projects that the bot's busy like,
you know, bidding on.
So, yeah, man.
Look, personally, I'm just going to bid close to floor on my own like my own collection just to prevent it like to save
Safeguard my community, but there's not much else you can do really. Maybe none has got to take also
Yeah
royalties will help
and enforce royalties, so
I'm considering for my past,
especially the one where people can get royalty shares.
If you want to sell a 50% royalty,
which will go back into the communities.
Because people need as well a reason to hold long term.
And as soon as we have super-nory royalties
and these big connections,
it's like we have as well still a lot of agents in the space so that's in my eyes the only mechanic
how to get these things out yeah so uh bring in utility bring in revenue streams bring in
very high royalties so bots have no interest to play these connections
We hire royalties, so bots have no interest to play this collection.
Yeah, I think the royalties is, like, especially for royalties.
I still go back to, though, like, there would be a lot of convincing to do,
like, you know, asking, like, Magic Eden to open,
see the bigger players in the space,
unless it would be, like, some other option that would,
like, a marketplace that would be created here. That's why I would say also like education might be the way,
like, you know, just educating on how to like,
if you want to get rid of an asset, when to look for an opportunity,
like, you know, to, to,
to offload and just getting that more of like that out there.
So you're not just like kind of killing the floors of
the projects that you like might want to just take profits and not might like might not
want to burn if that makes any sense because I think that's also what adds to it like you
mentioned Rick on like you know seeing like rares go to the floor if there was an option
or just a more how do I say this like a better way of trading your asset for for liquidity i don't know
i don't know if that's like if that even sense other than just wiping it that's why i would see
like my question is like if we didn't have the wave width option what other options do we have
for people that might want liquidity at some point i mean bro then it would be have to come down to like maybe um making manual
offers on on on certain assets you know um but then again that that could be botted so
yeah bro i think that like what what nana said is, is right. You know, like, like high royalties, uh, because at the end of the day, like, this is what
I don't get is like, why do we hate royalties in this space when it benefits the projects
that we in?
Like those royalties are not going into someone's pocket.
Like, like that's not happening.
It's going back into the project.
Therefore it's raising the value of
your assets so the royalty like conversation is is one that like i think that we messed up you
know a couple years ago when magic eden or i think it was them that removed it and then everyone or
blur or whatever and then everyone followed suit like that whole move like kind of i feel like
that's like what kind of pushed NFTs into like a bear market.
Because, you know, when artists aren't making royalties, like especially artists, pure artists, we're not talking about like utility or anything.
Just a pure artist.
Like what is their motivation to go to and like make a collection now like okay the mint out maybe but
like what if they want to do the mint out at like a very low price to onboard people then they want
to like build up the brand and and make royalties they can't do that so they either need to be a
really big name to be able to make sales or they're screwed whereas like the other way around
the way that it was before is they could really mint at a low, low, low price and rely on the royalties.
That's why we saw the free mint meta hit like NFTs was because there were those royalties
enforced and people could do a free mint.
Like Goblins was a free mint and you could still make money off the royalties of their
project and the project could survive.
Whereas like now, you know, that survive whereas like now you know that's not
even like that that that's not even a thing like you you screwed if you're trying to rely on royalties
i mean now you can obviously enforce them on on the contract and stuff uh so maybe there is some
light there but yeah i mean that's that's generally what i might take yeah i think yeah it's like the demons just pushed for it too hard in my eyes so
yeah it's nice to deepen and gamble around with drop prices but in the end when you're a
deacon then okay do it but don't don't have connections which are truly building in a long-term way yeah so and we'll play around
on the three minutes or if you like to play and teaching around there's a connection called apes
on apes which will never reveal so play the metadata there yeah or whatever so if you if
you're into these things happy too but support honest founders honestly and if you get into there yeah just consider holding
and maybe you'll see a big surprise in two or three years because the project was able to
properly build up due to the revenue streams from all sides and the support of the community
and that's i think what everyone is always forgetting like what will happen when someone
is really building and willie is getting his projects out and his products out in the world probably and it's
about getting new people in from the outside world and not only from the crypto space so
I think it's a lot of people have to have to maybe rethink their approach how to engage with nfts because when we keep on doing like this
we will never break through big globally because it will always be a space for digital gambling
yeah i think um some solid takes right there for sure and
I think some solid text right there for sure.
And that's why I say, as far as a collector,
take a step back and see where you're investing into.
You know, the space is like, it moves very quick.
We see opportunities here and there and it's growing.
But I think, how do I say this,
it's like with all opportunities in the space,
it's like, it's tempting to jump into things
and then we wanna get out at times and,
I don't know, maybe that's part of the problem too.
I know like at least going back into last cycle,
Rick kind of mentioned this, where it's like,
these projects would raise a lot of money.
I think that also adds to like,
why it's a little tough now,
because people like, you know,
saw these projects in last cycle,
like especially going back to like 2021,
where they raised all these funds.
And while some did do amazing things,
and you know, maybe gave back to their holders, other ones just disappeared with that.
And we're not talking about now where it's maybe
raised a little bit of money, or a good amount of money
depending on where you are in the world, of course.
But back then it was like, I'm talking about 90K, 100K
that they were raising and making a lot off secondary.
And then holders just just kinda got burnt.
So I think it's almost like that PTSD
that could affect the way people trade now.
I don't know, just, I mean even myself,
like certain things, even collection types,
if that makes any sense, I watch out for now
just because the way last cycle kind of worked out for me, if that makes any sense i i watch out for now just because the way
um you know last cycle kind of worked out for me if that makes any sense
i i think even just a raise at the moment is is is hard like for for an nft project which wasn't a hard thing you know like a few years ago i think at the moment ai is like what what vcs are throwing their money into
i heard that of a fake uh ai company that was made um i think it was made out of india or something
uh they made a full-on fake company uh and they raised 450 million um on on air and i think that that's
kind of like where we were with nfts was like these raises were just like just not realistic
and vcs were just absolutely pumping money into them i mean animoica was literally sponsoring
every single project that was coming coming out like everything was animoica for us for a little while um and you
know there was just like a bet like these vcs have got so much money they just throw money at
at a wall and and sees and and see what sticks and i think that right now we we're experiencing a
drought in that aspect because these vcs don't want to give money to nft projects because of
what they've seen in the past they've just seen to have like your weekly meeting, you have to have like a budget, you have to do all of these things that a traditional business does but web 3 just doesn't
seem to operate like that it's so laid back it's so lax it's so like we'll do it tomorrow we'll do
it tomorrow whereas like i'm used to being like in in in the situation of you you get it done today
like you have a weekly meeting even a daily meeting with your team and you you you run down what's
going on what's happening you constantly updating uh your community should just
constantly be in the know about what's happening in the project but web 3 just doesn't run like
that founders go silent for two three weeks i don't know what it is i don't know what it
is like they're just not in the trenches like this like every day on spaces grinding and if they do
it's for a little bit and then they just disappear again into like the dark for like a couple months and then they come back and it's just like what bro like i don't get it i
think that there needs to be a lot more accountability like in the space to like founders
to be more more more transparent more front-facing uh doxed you know like bro like that's how web 2
businesses are run so why is it any different
in web three like why is it okay for things to be secretive and silent and anonymous uh in this
space like i get it but at the end of the day it's different with nft collections it's all about
community and building like that how are you going to do that if you're anonymous you're not willing
to like share part of your identity with your community so yeah man things just need to change in the space i think that they are changing things like nfc
lisbon you go you look eye to eye with a lot of these founders you make connections that's where
the true alpha is at and i think that with time we've seen like better collabs and all of that
happen in the space through these irl meets and, and just through spaces as well, people being on spaces and chatting and talking.
And we've seen some underdog,
you know,
projects coming up out of the,
out of nowhere because these are founders that have stuck it out and that
have been here.
And like,
I was starting to finally now get the recognition of,
you know,
these guys don't go away.
Whereas like the founders I've been investing to get a bag and I don't see
them for six months.
So yeah, bro, it's just, I think that it's just about choosing where we invest our money and holding people accountable for what they say and what they do.
I think it's also like, well, before maybe it was different.
or maybe it was different.
Obviously, a lot of money on the table.
Obviously a lot of money on the table.
I think the reason scams were kind of happening
is just because like, you know,
we weren't talking about like just, you know,
50,000, 60,000 or like, you know, even 80,000.
We're talking about hundreds of thousands at times,
like early on, you know, with NFTs.
Now, it's like, it's almost kind of hard though
to like ask these like, you know,
certain founders to like work it out like that because some of hard though to like ask these like uh you know certain founders to like
work it out like that because some of them have to do it while they're running like you know their
own business or or doing their own that's that's that's not an excuse no no the reason i say is
because like how can you build a team if if like the market is not even accepting like
a 15 eight like how many mints right now having been like at least here on a chain i know
i know it might be on other chains i've seen like unabject for example i've seen some mints that can
raise a lot of funding for projects but currently on ape chain i i've seen i haven't seen as much
that can raise that much i mean but to be honest, like G's that like, um, like, I know it sounds like a lot
because you see it in Ape, but if you put that on ETH, it's, it was a pretty like low mint compared
to like how it was last cycle or even, even compared to what other chains are able to like
raise. Um, so I, I mean, I know it higher at the time when G's came out, but it wasn't like, you know, crazy amounts higher. So just, just that's, that's what I'm saying. It's like, I mean I know it higher at the time when geez came out, but it wasn't like you know crazy amounts higher
So just just that's that's what I'm saying. It's like I don't know if like a chain has to slowly move up to that
But I don't know if you can like I mean maybe a really is confinement
I know he has his hand up but like on abstract
I've seen that like these projects that are maybe a
Bit more have teams running more like a business
They're they can actually ask for high mints. Like I'm talking about like 0.09 0.06 minutes
And then they're getting minted out
Maybe not all of them have been successful that could be a different conversation
But like I do think like you know when you when you can look to a better
like you know when you when you can look to a better like raising of funds for during your mint if
you want to build around your project like you can build more of a team you know you can build
it out more like a project but are really i know your hands up yeah just to chime in on this on a
couple of points i think if if we look at the key differences at the moment,
and I'm not saying these are completely fully aligned,
but Ape Chain, you tend to find that there's a number of projects
that are being launched daily which don't specifically have much value
to offer rather than the art itself.
And, you know, art's obviously relative and subjective
to the individual that wants to buy it,
and some of us will buy it because, you know, we enjoy it
and we just want that in our wallet at the time.
Abstract, the key differences in price range, though, in my opinion,
is to do with the actual chain itself and the actual token
that's attributed to that chain.
So when we look at ape chain
and ape coin you know it's relatively low some some would argue lower than what its actual value
should be but that's by the by is what it is um abstracts being obviously part of a layer of eef
i mean it teams teams can teams can put up a certain mint price in which, you know,
it's up to us as, for lack of a better word, the consumer
to decide if we're willing to pay for that.
But from what I've seen predominantly from projects
that are launching on ApeChain, there's a couple of differences.
So you get the first time out. So the founders that have never
been in the space or relatively new to the space and they're just launching and, you know, there's
not really much behind them. They seem to be launching quite a few projects, seem to be
launching that don't really build that momentum first. They're not really doing the marketing,
they're not getting on the spaces, they're not actually talking about what it is that they're actually trying to achieve and what
they're actually trying to do with it. That in itself, in my opinion, puts a lot of people off
because, you know, unfortunately, regardless if most people want to admit it, but when they go to
the project's X page and it's got 40 followers on it, then nine times out of 10 people don't
really want to vibe with that. So first and foremost, I think it's extremely 40 followers on it, then nine times out of 10 people don't really want to vibe with that.
So first and foremost, I think it's extremely important that, you know, the founders are out there, they're, you know, hitting the pavement, they're in the spaces, they're promoting what it
is that they're actually wanting to do. But we've also got to be somewhat open to the fact that some
of these founders are actually not interested in building anything out
they're more interested in launching a project trying to get a bit of money from it
and and and with that that again is up to the global we to decide if we're willing to pay for
that and you know if we are why and then just in terms of a couple of other points that were
mentioned I think I think the reason that we might be seeing some projects not do as well as others is because ultimately they did raise a bit of money, but they've actually not done anything with it.
harsh criticism because you know I'm a big believer in if you think you can do better
than go and do better so it's not pointing the finger at any founder or project in particular
but you know another point on that as well is is that these projects that do get a bit
of money behind them they they tend to start to hire people to start to take care of you
know prominent parts of the project and what they're trying to build out, whether that be spaces,
you know, paying spaces hosts, whether it be the graphic designers,
the artists, the devs, whatever it may be.
They're paying them a little bit or they're paying them an actual salary.
Now, what I've found in this space, and I've been in it a few years now,
but, you know, several times, time and time again, and it's not arrogance, but people have reached out to me and they've asked me to, you know,
either host multiple spaces a week for them, you know, help them in terms of some of their writing
and some of their copyright. And, you know, when I ask them, okay, in terms of the return,
in terms of my time and doing doing that what what is the return
and it's kind of well we'll give you experience you'll get exposure etc etc etc i'm just not a
big believer in it um this is such a cliche but time is money and you know if you're here and you
are part of a team i think if some founders really, really, if they are serious about what
they are going to launch and they see that it has longevity and they really have a business use case
behind it, then they need to consider actually hiring people. I'm not talking stupid salaries.
I just think that they need to be fair in paying people for their time and what they bring to that project.
And on the flip side of that, if you're not bringing anything to the project, then the flip side of that is you should also be fully aware that you will be dropped.
Because this isn't a free run in which we should just lay it all at the founder's feet.
I just think that we need to be mindful in that it's all of our time
so if you're not here to have fun
which for myself I am
I do enjoy being on these spaces with you all
I enjoy being in the projects
and I enjoy what this space has to offer
but if you're a serious founder
and you want to make a real mark in this space then yeah you need to get a team behind you and you need to get a team behind you that's going to be willing to put the hours in and not for free.
We were so well said, Arius, because so many people are reaching out to me, asking me if I can help them with spaces, a better door, business, all that.
And then in the payment term it's like always, oh, you expect money from this?
Guys, no one is rude to be rich that he doesn't need to work anymore or he loves to work for free.
If you need competencies and help, get it and pay it because it will help you in the end to get like positive
references because these people yeah i can say oh yeah i'm getting my salary here it's true what
we are working i know the business plan i know what we are doing here i know what's running good
and i know what's not running good here yeah so uh totally 100 percent already was feeling the same like i do it's like
yeah guys we are all down to help but yeah we need as well bananas to eat because yeah when you do
your beautiful limb you get a lot of bananas you don't want to share them uh and you don't want to
give back to the community in terms of buildings and and you're a clear rugger, so stay away from that point.
And just on that point, Nana, sorry, Agent, just to finish off,
just to give you an indication, when I started in the space, you know, a few years ago,
there was a couple of projects that reached out to me, and they were, again,
they were offering me certain positions, and it was always about,
okay, well, you know what we'll
give you exposure you'll get a couple of whiteness etc etc and you know the level of expectation from
some of these project founders in the amount of time they expect you to put into it without
actually having anything in return and people might go oh my goodness that's so selfish blah
blah no it's not selfish you know know yourself worth put yourself forward
clearly clearly outline what it is that you're expected to do what you need to put sorry what
you need to achieve um and you know it's a much more healthier relationship because then everyone
knows where they stand um at the very start of that relationship but just a quick one and i will
shout them out as well um there was a project back in the day you know they built out quite a lot i mean they're a fantastic bunch of guys they're from
europe they're called the dead d gens the dead d gens team reached out to me like it was a couple
of years ago now i used to host spaces for them i didn't even ask them but they straight away came
up with okay we'll give you 0.25 eef per month to hold four spaces per month, one a week.
Yeah, I know there's five week months, don't get me wrong, but they literally, they, and I said to them, I said, are you sure?
And they were like, yeah, absolutely.
You know, with one, what you bring, two, how you create a space, you know, three, how you interview people, you know, it's money well spent.
Now, anyway, when they started to, and they did this for several months. at space you know three how you interview people you know it's it's money well spent now anyway
when they started to and and they did this for several months when they started to dwindle down
and you know they they they definitely handled their their their finances correctly just
unfortunately they weren't trying to extract from the space so their mints that they put out quite
a few of them were three or they were free or they were low uh low cost mint so the money started to to leave the coffers a bit um and towards the end i was actually saying
well don't worry about it because you you've already you've already put you know you've been
fair with me from the outset you's a lot brought this to me so therefore i'm willing to put effort
in for you so i mean there's going to be times
where it's tough there's going to be times where you know the the cash flow isn't where it needs
to be and if people have got real conviction in the teams that they're part of then they're going
to push for them um and you know it's not so much shilling but I will say this um when Shiba reached
out to me to be an affiliate for AIow one of the reasons that i took that was
because of the likes of handsome rambler um and the rest of the affiliate team um that that are
there but it's also because i know that i align well with them um and i'm i'm more than happy to
put my time in um and they're not excessive about it either you know the level of
expectation it's very similar to what i already do day in day out so yeah uh sorry for that long
monologue but yeah that's that's my my 10 pence not 10 cents because we are not americano here
no no no um los 10 centavos right how we say here um but no i think i think um you know you you you
bring up some interesting uh things and and congrats congrats on the badge for sure i i think
it's huge like you know when when you can uh find a team that you can like i guess work with vibe
with you know um like just like my
killer co-hosts like sometimes it feels like they don't do much but they kill it every single
fucking day uh i wouldn't i wouldn't replace them for anyone and that goes for anyone else
that co-hosted us with us in the morning absolutely love it uh no but uh also like
i i'm like i'm i'm bullish of like people that like are loving what they do and find like, you know, whether it's a new home or a new like stay for a little while.
You know, I don't know how long you plan on being with AOW and stuff like that.
But I'm obviously, you know, with Sam and I, we're bullish on what they're doing.
That's why we're minting their albatross and everything and that's why we decided to go with that so congrats congrats for sure I
don't think you know you're the only one that's probably hyped for joining that team also maybe
maybe a little tease for later in the month could be other people on this show joining a team or
that come by the show we'll probably have to update some of that like later in into the month um but yeah yeah i know rick's been trying to give me a
high five for a little while so maybe we'll go to rick for a minute i just wanted to mention um
like obviously like just talking about funding and projects and, and all of that type of that, that topic.
I think that like also something that like is a problem.
it's fair.
I don't know why,
why it is.
I've got a theory and people don't agree with this theory,
but I really,
I truly believe this is,
I think that like big number theory is,
is a factor on a chain.
So like,
if you ask for like 68,
like people are like 60 ape
like oh my god because it's a big number whereas if it's like 0.001 eth you know in the or 0.008
eth or whatever it might be that's a lot less in their minds like i don't it you you can't tell me
that it doesn't play a factor because shops use it stores use it that's why they put like 4.99 you know there's like little subtle tricks that they use to make people believe
that it's like less than what it actually is you know 4.90 or whatever it might be like the price
they don't ever say like five dollars you know they'll say 4.95 4.99 whatever it might be so
that definitely plays a part i think on it and it's a problem on ape chain because
if you if you're not raising a serious amount of money and when i say serious i don't mean like
an amazing amount i'm just mean like a serious amount for a business like an amount that's like
a bit of runway to get a business going to get a business cooking to cover all overheads and you know like actually deliver
utility to holders like if you if you want all of that like you can't raise a little bit of money
like if you're trying to raise like 10 20 30 grand like good luck like it's going to be very
hard for you to run a project and deliver utility to people unless you very very very crafty with
that that money you know, and build up like
a business under very, very tight constraints, which would mean that you couldn't really
hire people.
You couldn't really build out a team.
You'd have to like just do it solo, which would make it very hard on the founder themselves.
So basically what my whole point of this is that I think that a lot of the problem with this is I wouldn't be against, in my mind,
you know, Ape Chain having being on marketplaces being listed in ETH price.
So, because it is still on ETH, like kind of like still on ETH, you know, it's a layer three.
But you could still like say like 0.001 or seven or
whatever put that price in eth and i think that like we'd see way more sales um on ape chain now
i i know it's crazy i know it's crazy to not have the 69 ape or whatever it might be there but
honestly just think about it for a second like like that is a good solution for basically
combating the the high number and and people can say it's not a big thing but i truly believe it
is because even i sometimes get caught with it i'm like oh my god 48 like in my head and then i
like go and work out how much it is and i'm like oh man that's like 20 something bucks like what
the hell like that's nothing it's a good approach man i like it because it would flip around the number game in people's
mind and you're so right with it like having 0.05 east yeah easy 250 bucks yeah having 50 ape oh
what the fuck is this yeah well that's it like g g's on ape like let like let's think about how much is that like
it's like 0.14 or 0.13 like i believe there would be at like one eth you know they would run like
it would go up but it could still be on ape chain but just the number on the marketplace could be
in in ethereum because that is the native where you are bridging it from anyway and i just think
that that would help like when i think of like a mint like albatross's mint like i don't even know
what what was the mint like 40 like let's just come up with any mint if it was 40 48 or 58 people
would be like oh my gosh that's a high high amount but if you say oh the the mint is point zero zero eight or point zero zero nine
People are like that's not a lot, you know
Yeah, but maybe maybe let's try something. I see the rambler down there from AIOW
Maybe he wants to come up and chime in on these ideas
Yeah, maybe I think that's a perfect opportunity for AIOW to chime in here
If it's like something they would consider
as well to do in the platform like yeah showing native east prices or native a chain prices
or just having like implementing option views so that you see e's or apetine or whatever you prefer
but maybe wembler has some time or why he's probably in the gym right now and training.
No, and I think, like, it's funny because, like, you know,
I'm wearing the little pudgy PFP just because we had dialed yesterday
in the pub, and, you know, it was just the vibes.
But I was actually live on Abstract. I was minting a few projects early on. And there were some that like how you're
mentioning, they were like 0.00 something, you know, and, and it doesn't feel that much, but,
but when you like move it over to, to ape, you're like, okay, why then are like 10 apes still not
moving? Why are like the 15 ape, you know, mints not moving? And I think it is that
like how you're mentioning, like just the psychological effect that where it's like,
you see 0.01, you're not really thinking, oh yeah, the actual, you know, dollar price and being like,
okay, how much would that be in USD, which you are kind of directly, almost directly linking
that a little bit more with, with ape since it's a little bit
closer in, in value, you know, or at least that transition. Um, and even that gets calculated
wrong. I know, like, uh, I'm sure people along the way, they were like, oh, well,
ape is at about a dollar. Now, you know, you look at it a bit like less. I'm sure that that goes
into like how you're saying, uh, what we mentioned earlier, the selling pressure, it probably affects it psychologically much more different than a percentage does when the price of ETH is at $2,000 or even if it dips a little bit lower than that, which could be scary.
But I don't know.
I think the price impact when you're seeing that compared to a dollar in that direct, it could mess with it
psychologically. I definitely think that brings it up or that adds to like, you know, that maybe
the caution as to why people are a little bit, you know, more hesitant. I mean, I think there's
a lot more things also that are, you know, mixed into it, which it could be on the other side,
you know, mixed into it, which it could be on, on the other side, you know,
how much like do these projects get funding on abstract compared to maybe on,
on a chain? You know, we,
we had conversations earlier this week about like,
it feels like maybe, you know,
Yuga labs and what they're doing with a chain and just everything with the
club could be waiting to roll out for
this phase that's considering other side and everything rolled out in there, you know,
with spotlight season two and all that. So it could just be where we're still just early,
too early to like, you know, I mean, it's funny how the space works. You know, we want things like,
we want solutions now, but it's like, wait a second, Ape Chain has only been like,
it hasn't even been a year yet. You know, it's not in the year anniversaries. it's like wait a second ape chain has only been like this hasn't even been a year yet you know it's not in the year anniversaries it's like why are we putting
this much pressure on a chain or abstract you know i mean abstract has even been around less so
so it's just kind of like that those kind of questions we should like you know maybe take a
step back and be like uh maybe the the initiatives the activations aren't even fully rolled out yet
you know the ones that are
really going to be invested in um different areas that we're starting to see little little hints
you know um but it will be interesting how the summer rolls out uh alex and then we'll go to
aurelius another another reason why i think possibly you know the eight chain volume slowed down a little
bit is the price of ape you know ape is actually look people are scared of spending their ape
because it's moving so like two months ago it was 40 is 40 cents it's 70 cents today
so people have got people who are holding ape say they've got like a lot of ape in their wallet
they don't want to spend it because if they buy an nft tomorrow the price could have doubled so it's i think that's also a factor of people not wanting to spend their
ape just because of the you know if they buy the nft the nft is not going to increase as fast as
the price of ape at the minute yeah but normally we see like nft prices go up and down with the
pricing of the coin yeah so we see it on E's and the A's very clearly.
I think it's more like this Degen aspect,
like not understanding what a solid investment multiplier
could happen when you invest in a solid project
and they are building up like the G's.
So you mint it for 33 A's and it easily went up
within weeks and months up to 1,000 Ape.
So now we have a slight retraction, I believe more, because everyone is looking now, what
is ApePoint doing, especially of the DAO in the future.
Yeah, but once more to the DJs, yeah, flip 3-min and stop flipping serious builders because in the long term you'll get like a 10x
on top of the coin growth of the price of apecoin so it's all of an investment perspective
no i i agree with that as well nana uh you know it's it's one of them really if you know it's
where do you place your bets do you do you mint the nft and hope that it goes up or hold your
ape and hope that goes up but like you say if you if you're holding your ape it goes up in price
you know you can you can get more for your money.
But, you know, I suppose it's different strokes for different folks, as they say.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Adrian, try to get RemLab.
lab i would like to get aiw's view on prices and price logic
I would like to get AIW's view on prices and price logic.
okay i invited to speak we'll try and get him up here i know aurelius has uh his hand up so
we'll go to him and then um we'll see if we can get rambler for a few minutes
i think you made a good point a moment ago you, in terms of the infancy of the space as well.
Oh, sorry, in Ape Chain.
It is in its infancy stage, so I think it's, maybe again, maybe it's Dejan's just expecting quite a lot too soon.
But just in terms of, you know, in terms of how this could be built out in the future, it was a great point by Alex as well.
Some people might be a bit cautious in the sense that they don't want to let go of that ApeCoin into a project because they're not sure if it will go up or if it will go down.
I mean, we all know the volatility of the crypto market, so you kind of, it's your best guess, really.
it's your best guess really but with everything that ape coin ape chain are looking to build in
the near future it's you know it's probably a safe or sorry it's probably a good bet to bet on
ape coin um what i would say as well is i mean it we just need to try and proliferate some of these
these great projects and what they're doing already in the space and get them out to wider chains as well to onboard so you know i've just threw in the mint tours chat i was thinking about
this last night but what what james has just done with the coliseum with dutchy etc and the the games
yesterday i think that would be i think that would be a fantastic way to onboard from other chains if we
were to do it cross chain so if you imagine that a mintatar could fight a pink bear or a little
pudgy could fight a mutant or you know so a d god could fight fucking a froglin like if if we were
if if they were able to open that up a cross chain in the same sort of
style i mean you imagine just getting key influences and i know we don't like that word
but i'm just going to use it but you get key influences for each of the chains you know wally
you know you could get people for like shiv excuse me delilah you know totally whoever it may be from
the different chains and then they make up a team and then they battle in the coliseum in which you know it's ape chain related so um there's there's
ways and means of looking at some of the things that have already been launched and actually you
know going back to the drawing board and maybe redeveloping them or you know um innovating them
further to be able to look to bring bring more people here but i mean the question you've got
to ask yourself sometimes though is why would you like more people to come here and nine times
out of ten it's because we want our bags or our coins to go up in my opinion
yep i agree i agree and i think that's it goes back around to what we say multiple times in the
morning like well if you want that you kind of got to work for your bags at times and do your part I mean I know I really see do your part I don't think you've run a project but you do your part on doing like these cross community spaces the you know you had one earlier which was cross almost like a cross chain space you know and I think like doing our part as a community is very important.
I mean, we mentioned like, especially on Apechain,
the funds that are raised these days are not like comparable,
at least in like not even in royalties as they were
like in 2001 with some of the hype projects then.
Even the hype, like even some of the hype,
really hype projects here on AN can't compare to those.
Which I mean, we shouldn't, it was different times obviously,
but at the same time, it's like, you know,
when the money is around, it's easy to like, you know,
be a community member, to be all the vibes
and stuff like that, but I think these times
are just as important
because you never know where you'll end up also,
I think is a good take away.
Mainly because I mean, look at Rick,
community member that is now running Mutant Chiba Club.
So I think that's also an interesting avenue
that could end up for some, or end point,
not even end point, maybe a new beginning.
But I mean, no matter what your journey is,
I think it's important to evaluate what you're doing
and definitely work towards doing your part,
whether it's for your team, whether it's for your community
or else what are you doing here?
It's just number go up and hopefully like, you know,
your bags pump, which I know, I know,
like some of us may have been there,
but it shouldn't stay like that or else like, you know,
like really what are we doing here then?
Just talking to each other in a room?
Sorry, sorry.
I went on a little rant there then, a little ramble.
But, guys, I think it is a moment where we can start wrapping this up.
I don't know how you guys are vibing.
I think it's a good time to get to work.
I know it's Sunday fun day.
I got to do some family stuff.
I don't think we're going to get rambled at the moment, Nana nana but we can i think we circle this conversation back around probably for tomorrow it's a good
monday morning conversation also as far as like you know prices and and like what like uh you know
rick you brought up something earlier where it was like you know at certain numbers like can you even
really build a team around that like can you even really build a team around that? Like, can you even really, like,
have a strong team at least? Like, you might have to look for people that are, you know, just trying
to come up, and that's also, like, risky at times, too, because, you know, with PFPs and, like, you
know, no actual backgrounds that are, you know, out there, some of us are anonymous, pretty much,
like, how do you know, How do you know? Just us
off vibes? We're running companies off vibes then? I don't know. I think it's a deep conversation
where we can lose ourselves in different areas. So just like AI, I think, Rick, this would be a
good thing to bring up again and maybe touch on there with Nana and some other people who can join us again. But it is getting to that moment
where I
have to get into full daddy mode.
So yes, let's do some final
words.
Great space. Support the boat.
Stay on Ape Chain, guys.
We're cooking our house.
We're working as well to to hear the horizon from the ship.
So whenever we see it, we speak it out loudly.
Agent, thanks for hosting the show.
Looking forward to the Albatross plan.
I'm looking forward to see everyone later in my stream.
Have a good one, a great Sunday.
Thanks very much for having me.
And everyone in the room, follow everyone back as well.
We can build up this together.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Nana.
I'm looking forward to the stream later.
I'm going to stop by there.
If you can, post the link up top while we're taking this down, if you have the link for Ovi,
so that way people can get that scheduled.
I know you get the reminders,
so that could be a way that people can stay connected.
Alex, any final words?
Great space, guys.
Thanks for having me.
Make sure you're all following each other.
Like Anna was saying,
we all got to grow together.
And just to touch,
add on to the last uh things that
you were saying you know when you're looking for projects and project founders look for the ones
that've got passion that've got passion for what they're trying to deliver to you guys on the spaces
you know if they're really honest about their projects they will be taking the time out to get
on these spaces talk to you you know in fact you know i'm i'm passionate about rug dolls you know

Actually, while I was at Mew and Chiba Club space yesterday.
So, yeah, family time is definitely important.
When you can, come back and join us again.
We can talk a little bit more.
Rug dolls, I know there's some other things cooking up there.
So I would love to have you back on tomorrow, whenever you have time,
whenever it fits your schedule.

So please, please stop by whenever it's possible.
I think we're going to go to Pink Bear.

I love the little bell.
It's like a little signature bell now for you,
even though it's just a bell. I mean, it's really simple, guys.
Just do your thing, you know, spread them cheeks.
Wow, I should probably watch what I'm saying.
It's going to get clipped uh rick any final words
yeah bro have a blessed sunday um and uh yeah be on the lookout loads of coming from me
in the next week i'll be releasing some stuff uh but yeah i really enjoyed the conversation today. It just makes you think and makes you obviously just aware of different things in the space that I think that we all need to be aware of and try to tackle these problems together.
You know, talking about this stuff on a space the way that we have today is kind of what improves the space uh in the long term is having these conversations
uh they're not not conversations about hype about price pumping just about genuine uh problems on
on the chain and not trying to fud or anything but just trying to solve solve things uh so i i love
it uh the spirit's been great today perfect sunday fun day uh conversation and yeah man just hope everyone
has a great one today uh spend some time with the family reset get ready for another banger week
next week uh do what you got to do um i've got some uh washing in the laundry at the moment
doing a bit of house chores a little bit catching, getting ready for a real grind next week.
So yeah, man, get yourselves ready and look after yourselves.
Just sometimes we get carried away with the space and forget to do that.
So yeah, have a blessed one, guys.
Yeah, I love that.
I love that.
And shout out to you.
Shout out to Aurelius for bringing that up.
I mean, it is important to take care of yourself. I'm actually going to be doing a little bit more,
add to my morning routine. I think it's good stacking habits. If you haven't read Atomic
Habits, it's a good book. Maybe take some time, go touch some grass. Pick up a book.
Download Audible.
Buy a book.
Listen to it if you don't have the time while you're working out,
while you're going for a walk, while you're connecting with other people.
I mean, I think it's important to take care of yourself, of course.
Before everyone else, like, you know, if you're not happy,
how can you make other people happy, right?
But I know we got Mr. Right Now that just joined us.
Thank you, Rick.
Thank you, Rick.
I know we'll be getting more updates throughout the week for sure.
And also, I think, like, yes, more announcements coming from me also.
Like, I think I let everyone share, like, some stuff.
More announcements coming from me.
Not even just Albatross stuff.
So I think it will be an exciting month.
I actually know it will be an exciting month. I hope you're all getting ready as our friends here
will also be adding to the excitement.
It will be fun how things could probably work out
and how potential collabs and stuff like that
and things could work out down the road.
I know we got Mr. Brighton now at the very end.
It wouldn't be a GM AppChain show if we didn know we got mr right now at the very end it wouldn't be
a gm apj show if we didn't get someone join us or right at the end so i had to pull them up uh
how you doing how you doing mrn yeah big gm agents big gm as soon big gm to all the legends in the
space i see the frogs ogs down there big gm to everyone arts uh big gm to you guys you know
it's been a while since i hopped on to you know gm ipchen spaces and i said today that i'm on
chain i'm trying to you know catch up with what's been happening and this amazing week that i have
to be here you know and and say my shout out to everybody building on ipchen and everybody who
shows up every day so guys i'm so so happy you know, I had to hop in here before the space, you
know, went down.
And I just wanted to say a big shout out to everybody, you know, who's building on Ape
Chain.
Let's keep doing more.
Let's keep showing up.
You know, you guys can also check, you know, check out the Froglands community because we
almost pulled a big stone yesterday in the Minotaur's game. And you know how our founders are doing so much to push us out there and get
us the recognition we deserve on the chain. So guys, you can never have enough Froglins.
And also stay positioned for agents and Sam Habibis means coming up, I think tomorrow,
the Albatross collection. And I just want to say thank you guys for
everything and, uh, have a, have a great week ahead. Thank you agents.
No, of course. Thank you. Thank you. I was, uh,
actually opened up with a little love to, uh, the froglings and, you know,
I mean, they, they couldn't take down the G's unfortunately,
but they got second place, which I don't know how many people expected that.
But, like, you never, you never, you know, never, never doubt an underdog or an underfrog, I think, is better said, right?
And they came out.
They came out swinging hard.
So, you know, look at James PFP if you haven't.
Like, you know what I mean? The creator of Gobs, of Vintetors, the creator of Coliseum,
now rocking the Froglings because that took them down.
So, yeah, no, shout out to the Froglings for sure.
You know I love the Froglings.
So love what they're doing for sure.
You're not ready.
You're not ready for what they're cooking too.
There's hints.
There's been hints.
I know I've been in the spaces, you know,
Art's been talking about stuff,
Dockman's been talking about stuff.
So it will be exciting.
That's what I'm saying, like,
Ape Chain summer will be a fun one.
You know, I mean, here it's gonna be winter down here,
but like, it's heating up, it's heating up.
So no matter where you are,
you're gonna feel a little bit of the heat.
And thank you, Mr. Rayynow, for joining us.
Unfortunately, we are wrapping it up, so please, if you can, you know, same time.
Well, actually, a little bit earlier tomorrow.
Just got to get some things going.
I know he got to meet with Sam.
I think he was feeling a little bad, too, and also taking care of some other things.
So we'll be probably jumping into catching up with him and then uh we'll give some
updates on on some other things but like i mentioned there will be other updates this week
like i like apart from albatross more for the gma of change show more for other um things i'll be
helping with and yes just exciting times times I think, exciting times for everyone
and everyone involved, so looking forward to this
and thank you Mr. Raynaud
if you want to give us any final words
Yeah, I just wanted to say
that I have a space going up
tomorrow, I don't know if I'm allowed to put that
on the Jumbotron
a weekly piece
where Africans on Ape Chain
come together, you know, and share some insights and the ideas of what's happening and how we can,
you know, collectively build something great on the chain. So I'm going to put out on the Jumbotron
right now. And I'm looking forward to all of you guys being there, you know, and showing us the
support. I appreciate you always showing up, agents. And I think that's
all I have to say for now, guys. Enjoy your
weekend. It's Sunday.
Touch some grass. Spend some time with your loved ones.
And Ape Chain on top.
Froglings on top. Peace out.
Yes. Ape Chain on top.
Froglings on top. Ape Chain Africa
on top. Check that
up top.
Funny how that worked out, froglings on top, Apechain Africa on top, check that up top.
Funny how that worked out actually. So yeah, tune in, set reminders,
like even if you can't make it,
it always helps with the algorithm, get it out there.
You never know who it could benefit,
jumping into these spaces, get more informed,
connect with others in the community.
Let me actually like and retweet that.
Make sure we get that out.
And yes, thank you Mr. Right now for stopping by,
giving us an update.
And wait, it's not loading for me.
Okay, all right, all right.
Yeah, it's up there.
All right, Asun, Asun, you got your hand up?
I just want to say
and goodnight
great space
sorry I can't talk all the time
kids
yeah
I'll just say that
but yes thank you everybody for coming
the speakers, listeners.
Make sure you tune in tomorrow.
It'll be GMA train 99.
Yes, yes, yes.
And also, if you reacted, if you interacted with the post above. Let's see.
Let's see.
Did anyone interact?
I didn't even check it.
Let me.
Where'd it go?
Let me check that up top.
Let me check that up top.
I don't think we got final words from Rick.
Rick, are you still here?
Any final words?
All right.
Just, I actually made this track.
When did I make this?
I don't even know when I made this,
but this is a banger that we
can end off with
it's actually a Froglings banger so
yeah when you're ready bro just cue me up
and I'll play this banger to end us off
is that the cue to play the tune?
Pretty much.
I mean, I was like, I thought it was only one person that actually tagged someone.
So I'll run right after this.
I'll run it for the person.
I mean, it was only one of four.
So pretty good odds.
I guess you still have a few minutes.
You can like and retweet up top.
You know, the space.
It's like the third pin post,
if you want to, I'm going to send nudes to someone, it's actually a nudes on ape,
don't make it weird, I won't make it weird, if pink bear does make it weird, but yes, Rick,
you wrap it up, everyone, thank you for joining us, it was GMH in 98, tomorrow we're running 99,
we'll probably run another, you run another NFT giveaway for that.
And then we'll get to 100.
We might do something special for that, or it might just be another day.
We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
But, Rick, thank you.
Thank you, everyone else that joined us.
You wrap it up, Rick.
