setting the scene because i'm feeling um i gotta perform for master chimp after that theme tune
it was great thank you so much guys gmgm guys and chimp we forgotazic is a true chimp.
He gave us a lot of alpha about you guys.
I also did a solid research today.
It's really amazing what you have accomplished so far.
I'm super excited to talk about it.
The storytelling and all the stuff, how you started,
it's really inspirational.
So super pumped for today's episode.
Maybe we can choose a more dynamic song from Kill Bill
because I feel the energy will be pumping.
Can we just get somebody on stage and just play that track
throughout the whole spaces?
As we're talking, it's just running in the background constantly.
Oh my God. so like as we're talking it's just running in the background constantly oh my god um i think we're absent master chimpo today though um timpers may not be able to make it uh possibly is that
correct guys and and uh also if anybody else joins you know captain bad or pistol ping or anybody from
the community just bring them up on stage and and great from beast i know we often get you know a
lot of people requesting to come up on stage
who just want to come up and shill and stuff.
But if you see any Chimpers requesting, just bring them up.
For sure, yeah.
I'm actually excited that we have Inside and Sir Joey
because Inside, you know, you are behind the writing and community
and Sir Joey is about like strategy and operations
and I think it's a you know great combo for today's space because I'm also super
excited about how you guys build such a strong community you know it's a it's
really spectacular what you build and Chimpers are always everywhere you know
Chimp Chimp Chimp So that's a great accomplishment.
Yeah.
So, I mean, obviously Timpers isn't here, unfortunately.
But do you want... I can give you an intro on Timpers for those that may not know
because he's like the main man.
Let's do it, man.
Yeah, that would be perfect.
So, Joey, if you kind of start from the very start,
because I know a lot of the Chimpers in here will have heard
the origin stories of Timpers. But we've got a few other listeners who you know may
not know the story so if you could start from the very very start you know how timpers started early
b right bayc days you know the integration of yourself and insight and t-back series one and
all that stuff so yeah go from the very beginning my friend okay yeah so uh. So Tim has been an artist for several years.
He's a young guy, 22, but he's been an artist for several years.
Primarily started in the gaming scene, doing commission work,
banners and profile pics and things like that.
But also he was very much a community builder.
was very much a community builder so i had a twitter channel i had a youtube channel and he
So I had a Twitter channel, had a YouTube channel,
built that uh by doing um sort of tutorials really so whenever he created a banner he did speed art
or tutorials explain how to use the different tools of powerpoint and things like that and he
built an audience on youtube of in excess of 40 000 and his his Twitter was, you know, getting on for 10,000.
This was before NFTs.
And then a lot of guys on the gaming side sort of got, were getting into NFTs.
He started hearing it early, late 2020, early 21, but, you know, never really dived into it.
But then some of his close artist friends started having a bit of success selling, you know never really dived into it uh but then some of his close artist friends
uh started having a bit of success selling you know one of ones on foundation so um he got into it created a foundation account uh made a one of one and it's actually sold to loopify uh you know
everybody must know loopify in the space so actually he kicked off timpers um you know first
sale in nfts so he did a few one of ones on uh foundation but also started buying the odd nft
but board apes when they come out uh and so really i'm speaking for him but he fell in love with the
board ape yacht club community the way uh it just galvanised the whole community that we've not seen before
and it was amazing
he was doing his one of ones
but he wanted to do something for
the Bord Apes, you know, being part of the community
and part of the Discord, so
he decided to do an art piece
it was called The Ape Awakening
and it's in the Mountain Retreat
if you've not seen it, it's on OpenSea in the TBAC OpenSea account.
So he started off as a single art piece, and he put a call out to anybody in the Bordea Yacht Club community
who wanted to use their IP and get featured in this art to to reply to a tweet and uh you know he got several well not
several many many many people and he chose you know i don't know i mean maybe eight and and
featured them and it got a massive response so it was a hundred edition art piece and it sold out in
literally a couple of minutes and the demand demand was huge, it was gas wars,
and quite quickly there, it was that it would become
from a single art piece to a story,
the quest for the diamond fleece,
and that ended up being a six-piece artwork,
100 editions each.
Outside of that, well, we can talk about that shortly, but outside of that, you know, he's
worked for Artifact on hoverboards, you know, middle of last year. He was one of the nouns
artists, so he's a nouns founder. So alongside Grenplin, 4156, and E-Boy, he was one of the
four artists that designed all the iconic nouns
that we see around the place.
He also worked, I think it was Gargamel, or it might have been Gordon Gawne,
I can't remember who it was who invited him to do an art piece.
I think there were six artists that did an art piece for the Rolling Stone BAYC collab at E-Zine.
And so his piece was featured in that, which again is quite iconic and amazing to be asked by BAYC.
And that sold on Super S.
So he's done quite a lot outside, but obviously then that led to T-BAC.
obviously then that led to T-Bak.
And yeah, I'll quickly explain T-Bak,
but then I'll let Insight talk more maybe about the lore side of things.
But okay, so T-Bak, The Quest for the Diamond Fleece,
six-part artwork.
And then there was the e-book, 60 pages of lore with the art.
There was an animated production
that was made by an award
winning animator in the UK's work
for children's television and amongst
many other things. He did
that two minute animation.
And also
the diamond fleece, because
when you collected all six
artworks, as you said at the beginning,
mystery, surprise and reward,
we've never pre-announced rewards or what things are,
but we've always liked to have the freedom and the creativity to think,
well, how can we delight? What can we do next? Wouldn't this be great?
And so as we were working through the quest for the diamond fleece, the artwork, etc.,
we said, what about if there was a diamond fleece NFT? And if you collected all the six artworks, you got the NFT diamond fleece the artwork etc we said what about if there was a diamond fleece nft
and if you collected all the six artworks you got the nft diamond fleece and that segued in then to
the genesis chimpers because you could burn the diamond fleece nft for genesis and then that led
us to the generative so we started off with the board ape ip and we've segued from that teaback
series one that was all about the adventure with the board eight
now into the chimpverse with
the genesis and the generative
chimpers and we're
in the dojo
training
we're going to be moving on to battling very very
soon and then we'll be adventuring into
teaback series two
yeah
and so just to finish off with me i got involved uh very early
on in 20 well the beginning of teaback series one um my background is uh not creative i you know i'm
a business person i founded my own uh business 20 years ago which which in a way it fits because it was a community.
It started off as a community website, basically a discussion forum.
But in regulatory compliance, there was a need for, you know, information as standards and regulations were coming out and industry and individuals needed to comply.
needed to comply and there was nothing about so i created a website discussion forum and then that
And there was nothing about. So I created a website discussion forum.
led to many different uh training products and and uh the webinars conferences you know and it
was the first of its kind and it grew to be the biggest and still is today so um but yeah i started
that with the community really to provide, you know, a hub.
So yeah, so that's my background and I'm very much on the business side,
but also for the strategy and direction of the projects and working with the guys and we're all creative together.
So sorry for waffling.
I tried to do it quick because for those that have heard it many, many times,
don't want to bore people, but hopefully that gave you a good overview.
But we're loving it. We're loving it. It's been going now since July 21. Many, many times. I don't want to bore people, but hopefully that gave you a good overview.
But we're loving it.
We're loving it.
It's been going now since July 21.
You know, we're in September.
And, yeah, we're really looking forward to the future. So, Insight, can you colour in some details and, you know,
your background and stuff?
And first of all, just before you do, thank you, Sir Joey.
We always say it, but we love long form on this show.
I can see a good, you know, a good bulk of the audience
are actually chimpers as well.
So, you know, I appreciate you kind of shortening it for them
because, you know, myself and a few of them have heard it before,
but actually I could hear it over and over again,
that kind of origin story, because I love love it um also just a full disclaimer to anybody
listening who isn't a chimp and doesn't know me already if you click on my profile now um you'll
see that i've updated my profile picture for this space is is a genesis chimp i am a bag holder of
chimpers i absolutely love them i'm massively biased. So anything I say is not financial advice.
Anything I say is completely biased and not just because I want to pump my own bags,
but because I just love the whole Chimpers community. Oh, did we lose Sir Joey? I think
Sir Joey got rugged. And oh, there he is. Yeah. So basically I am very, very, very biased towards Chimpers.
And I'll just kind of lay that disclaimer down now.
They are my favorite community outside of BAYC.
They're probably my favorite community full stop.
But obviously, I love my Ape as well.
So yeah, but you carry on in sight.
Just wanted to sort of lay the land there and just let you all know that I'm a massive Chimpers fan.
And I will be shilling my own bags in this space unabashedly. sort of lay the land there and just let you all know that I'm a massive Chimpers fan and, you know,
I will be shilling my own bags in this space is unabashedly.
And I have to confirm that almost every space is like Matt Doesick talks about Chimpers,
or at least every other other spaces. So it's all true what he's saying.
This is this is true. This is i think it's a pure excitement i think
somebody even came on once and was like um said oh yeah uh somebody you know a chimp was in his
dms or something and and uh you know he said that they get about and i said they said they were
trying to get me to to buy something i was like absolutely you should answer that dm and you should
sweep that floor and pump my bags like i am i just fly the chimpers flag everywhere i go i've got a
sticker on the back of my laptop here.
I'm literally just like, yeah, yeah, I can't say it enough,
but I just, I love Chimpers.
So I'll just let you guys know that I don't want you
to sort of jump into something just because I'm kind of singing its praise.
I mean, you should kind of probably jump into it anyway
because it's sick, but, you know, no financial advice.
No, I don't doubt that, actually.
Met Isaac jumping on the spaces and sharing chimpers.
When we met him in New York,
one of the greatest people we've met,
full of energy and just love.
That's what you want, supporting you, the community.
I think it's, yeah, I can chat about that as well.
But I guess, great intro from Sir Joey.
For anyone that doesn't know, I am the community manager, also known as Timper's twin brother.
he's been around for a while and I've always been really enjoying what he's done from the
YouTube days to the streaming to the art creating and then NFTs it's been you know like a real
journey and I've always been following it and I think it was around yeah July when we launched T-Back and Timp has invited me to join
him on the no real specific role other than helping and it kind of just naturally developed
into me writing some stories about the artworks that he had created at the time and you know we
developed that into an e-book like Joey said said, and just really colouring in the story of the art from the characters
and building a whole world around it.
And fast forward today, that is with Timpers now
and a really nice segue into a new world
where these apes had embarked onto a quest
for this mysterious diamond artifact that was a
fleece that could be worn but instead they burned it and that's how they got the genesis chimpers
but yeah they ventured through a portal and entered this new um vast world which we refer
to as the chimpverse and yeah that's what we're going to be working on for the next several months with Teaback Series 2.
But I should say this,
that although I did create the Teaback Series 1 Law,
we were helped by a great team of people.
And obviously, Moon Vibe, he might be in the audience.
He is working on the Series 2 story,
and it's absolutely terrific.
I think I was just chatting to him earlier.
There's around 30-plus pages of writing already
exploring this new world that we've created
with the Chimpers characters,
in particular the Genesis characters.
And yeah, very exciting.
So shout out to Invibe.
I can't take the credit for that.
But yeah, I guess T-Back started really naturally,
like Joey was saying.
It was meant to be just an artwork,
paying homage to the Bored Apes, sorry,pes that Timpers was involved with at the time.
Just a fan and really loving the community vibes that was forming at the time of early May, June, July.
And when it evolved into an artwork series, the ape community just naturally gravitated to it and there hadn't been
very many um collections or derivative collections that um looked into creating these types of
stories and bringing the characters to life so there was a really great response and um we had
you know very lucky to have an amazing community
that ended up being around 85 full set collectors of the six artworks
who just stuck around for the several months that we was creating.
And, you know, it started as just a love for the art.
These people who collected, they didn't buy the series for the speculation
or what would come from the utility of what we created.
It was simply that it was Timper's artwork and they loved being a part of this story that we were creating.
And, you know, back then it was a different world, you know, back then as in 12 months ago almost now.
We were lucky to have a lot of time and that kind of support from our
community without being expected to do things and today if you're trying to build a community
it's a lot different you know you're expected to get things moving you know straight off the mark
and if you don't they won't stick around but we were very lucky to have that kind of
foundation built early on from these amazing collectors who stuck by us and that kind of
amalgamated into the chimpers community and this you know solid foundation of amazing people have
really championed everything that we've done and when that led to
Chimpers I think it's really just passed on over to the community and yeah very grateful I don't
think there's any secret formula for building the community it just you know you can take credit for
it but really it was just an organic bloom of just being in the right place at the right time and
really putting an effort to build something more than just a character collection and really
involving the community and the story and narrative which you know a lot of many great
collections now do lots of teasers and lots of narrative driven stories on Twitter and
the whole collections that are being built so yeah I guess I might be waffling but I hope it's
making sense. I would just add sorry I'd that, you know, obviously it's an art and law based project and the art's amazing.
You know, the chimpers generative, you know, I'm being biased, but they're amazing.
And the genesis as well. But make no mistake on the importance of the community building, because you can have the best artwork, the best law, but if you're not visible, you don won't say himself because he's too humble but insight is
so proactive uh you know actually taking the time to engage individually with uh collectors um
long-standing and new um to tell them about the project and you know um cynically you could say
it's sales but it's not like that it doesn't come out from that angle he just loves the project and you know cynically you could say it's sales but it's not like that he doesn't come
at it from that angle he just loves the project and it's clear we all do and he just loves extolling
the virtues and explaining it and taking the time and I've never never seen anybody put as much work
in as insight and and yeah so the community building aspect is absolutely essential and
through these tough times you know we launched
May the 20th you know the beginning
of a bear market but how could
we have known how it would have gone
with the macro environment and
NFTs and crypto
and it stood
us in good stead that community
that bedrock and we're
so fortunate but it a testament to Timpers
and the insight in particular that they've built
this rock-solid community.
And it makes me really bullish on Timpers
for when the external environments change,
we can't do anything about that.
All we can do is build.
And what we've got that we're building
on top of this amazing
community and with this amazing community it's uh yeah it's no limits really so i'm glad you said
that first i'm gonna let um i'm gonna go on a quick rant grateful and then i'm gonna let grateful
beast and tino ask some questions but you took the words right out of my mouth so joey insight
and timpers and yourself actually i've noticed are all way too
modest um let me as a community member i know i'm one of the co-hosts of this show so i shouldn't
really be so uh like i say biased but i am biased for good reason um it you know timpers is the he's
like the bedrock he's the core he's the artist he is you know the person that started this thing he there's
there's lots of um very you know varying factors that's you know why it's come to where it is and
eventually that's got to a point where the community like bayc in a sense um it kind of
markets itself because it's so strong and everybody's so passionate and so um much a part
of that community that you don't need to really market it at this
point so much because it kind of takes care of itself um but basically just kind of going back
so so timpers being the artist that he was i knew about timpers before you know before i think i
even purchased an ape you know i was looking at his pieces on foundation i can't even believe that
we're actually sat in a room it's quite surreal talking with the the chimps team i've i've met insight and timpers in person and
and captain bad and it's kind of very surreal for me because i remember looking at those pictures on
foundation and things of timpers and thinking wow i'd love to be able to collect one of these or
something one day um and then just as a so just completely take me off the stage here for a second
as a co-host of this show let me just tell you as as a as a member of the chimps community my kind of um uh if you like
story of how i kind of entered the the chimp chimp first so back in the day i remember um
teaback launched and they were minting for 0.01 or i think it was that art piece that you referred
to sir joey and i can't remember if i applied for it or if I kind of see it.
You know, when you add things to a reading list or like, yeah, yeah, this is, I'm going to do this later or something.
I'm there probably busy trading, doing whatever I was doing back then.
And I missed the mint.
And I can't remember any other project I've had so much FOMO over.
And it wasn't about the price.
It was just about the project and the artist
and you know the the kind of the apes being involved and yeah that that for me was like I
was like so gutted that I missed the mint and then it kind of came off my radar for a minute and I was
busy trading and I did very well with my trading and stuff um and then actually exactly and this
is why I wanted to to mirror what you said joey is it is it was insight who who
slid into my dms and i get tons of dms and many other people will get way more than i do and the
amount i get is overwhelming as it is um but there are other people who get you know 10 times that
amount and but but insight slid into my dms and uh you know he got chatting to me and i think already
the 0.01 um uh teaback series one had risen to like a floor of something
like 0.8 or something and um he was you know we were chatting i ended up buying this piece
not because i thought it was gonna rock it which it did but i bought it because i really loved the
project and he reminded me of this project that i loved and then suddenly i'm talking to you know
one of the team members didn't know he was Timper's brother at the time.
But I was talking to the community manager, if you like.
And I'm like, yeah, I'm really vibing with this Insight guy.
I'm going to go and buy this piece.
Now, I bought this piece for 0.8.
And Chimpers then released.
And this piece enabled me to mint one of the Chimpers.
I bought an e-book for like 0.15. And that enabled me to to mint one of the chimpers i bought an ebook
for like 0.15 and that enabled me to mint a chimpers and uh also my cousin and i went to
town on one of the uh on one of the genesis auctions where the team would burn a diamond
fleece and they'd do a do an auction um and and i think myself and city tuna we paid like 23
point something ethereum for for toyotomy um who's my profile picture at the moment, as I say, if you click on my profile.
And that enabled me to mint another six Chimpers.
And then I was so fortunate I also won the animated series that you referred to earlier.
And I can't remember, I think that may have enabled me to get on as well.
And I know we're in a bear market at the moment.
Chimpers are holding really strong, you know, compared to most other projects out there.
They've just been consistent and solid and just building in the background.
But again, we shouldn't talk about flaws and everything.
And, you know, I'm not a member of the Chimpers team.
I am a co-host, again, as I mentioned.
But from my perspective, the amount of value, we shouldn't, again, we shouldn't talk about this,
but the amount of just ETH value I got out of putting my trust in Insight and Timpers,
you know, I bought this thing for 0.8 and the end you ended up getting i think for if
you had paid 0.1 ethereum back when tback series one minted if you had paid 0.1 ethereum um you
end up getting something like at the peak of the bull run you would have got over the price the
floor price of a of a bored ape in terms of of return on value to you get so you've got series one and so if you minted the
episode one of the six episodes then you would get the other ones airdrop two for free is that
correct and and uh or you get one two and three or something and then um it went up to three and
you ended up getting the whole thing for like 0.1 and then each one would enable you to mint you know a chimpers and then you get the ebook which was 0.15 which went up to
like a three or four e floor and then you end up um if you have the full set you get this diamond
fleece which also went up to like a 30 something floor probably higher uh and then you meant you
can choose to mint a genesis chimpers which gives you another six chimps and you know the chimp floor
straight out the gates was something like five e4 something crazy like the the the vat again i'm not
going to talk about floor ever again but just the ethereum value even if you're just an investor and
you're looking at this as just an asset class and nothing else it was insane the value you could have could have got from just paying 0.1 for for minting teaback uh series one episode
one um and that's why i say you know you guys are very very very humble because actually you know
and i've met uh timpers and insight they're so modest they're such kind humble just gentle
lovely human beings um you do not give yourself enough credit because you absolutely
fucking smashed it and between the artist the the strategy that you have behind you with sir joey
the elite develop dev team that you've got you know captain bad and then people like pistol pink
and everybody else i can see in the audience greg logan alex and aka everyone that hosts the space
and stuff like you have built a fucking army of the most
solid you know the most solid community who who drive this forward but it started with timpers
and it was you know it was kind of built with insight and so joey and you know insight reaching
out to every individual and making every individual feel like really valued member of the community and and by this point now you've got
hundreds of me who are just flying that chimper's flag you know i'm talking in the dms with with
grateful and beast and tino i'm every other space is like they said i'm mentioning chimpers um again
i've mentioned it before i know projects always say oh this gives me early bayc vibes i'm waffling
by the way as well guys i'm sorry but this you know this project gives me early BAYC vibes. I'm waffling, by the way, as well, guys. I'm sorry. But this project gives me early BAYC vibes.
This is the only project that's actually given me early BAYC vibes because of how the community was built.
And it wasn't built on any sort of promise.
I love it.
The ethos of mystery, surprise, and reward.
Under promise, over deliver.
And the only thing, if you actually talk with very high level people within you know um regulation stuff like that at some point everything's gonna be a security at
some point everything's just gonna be very very challenging and actually the only thing you can
really do legitimately is is very good tokenomics uh on on a token but law is is the thing and you
guys have built an empire kind of based on law,
but now it's just like every day I look at Twitter and I'm like,
oh, they've got this new thing in the arcade machine and the dojo.
I'm currently on holiday.
I'm sat in France at the moment, you know,
tuning into the spaces and speaking because that's how passionate I am about
this team and this project.
But I just can't wait to get home and go and play on that arcade machine
and just nerd out for hours and play that arcade machine.
It's really amazing. You can just go into the dojo the staking experience you have and you can just spend
hours just on this you know in this dojo the marketplace we'll get to all those things but
i just wanted to say as a community member from my perspective that's how it is and and you guys
are way too humble to say it you know as as bluntly as that but yeah i um i'll i'll let so
let some of the guys ask some questions now but i just wanted to you know put as bluntly as that. But yeah, I'll let some of the guys ask some questions now,
but I just wanted to, you know, put that across and get that across.
I love your enthusiasm, man.
You pumped, as I said at the beginning, you know.
But guys...
You're amazing.
I really love when you keep going and, you know,
and you can see how passionate you are about Shipper.
So it really made me laugh a little bit.
Yeah, so grateful.
I really like how you build a community.
And we talk about this topic every time because we know that it's so important to build a community.
As you said, you can do whatever you want, but if you don't have a community everything is much harder you know and uh what
do you think you know because you start i i what i see from the outside that you have very strong
storytelling you know and we know from other projects also like jenkins and also you know
10k tf you know that storytelling is definitely important but no one also, you know, 10KTF, you know, that storytelling is definitely important,
but no one can, like, you know, no one does it, you know, well.
And on the other side, what I saw that, you know,
you slowly dropped, you know, episode one, episode two, episode three.
So it was like a step-by-step process.
So people had time, you know, to understand, to learn more. Could you add something to this? You know, I know it was different time step-by-step process so people had time you know to understand to learn more
could you add something to this you know i know it was different time than it's now but
why do you think that you built such a strong community i know you mentioned some of it but
i would like to dig a little bit deeper into this topic because it's super important
do you want to speak inside yeah i mean again i don't like none of us are experts can you hear me
yeah i can hear you can you hear me yeah we we got you mate we got yeah okay yeah yeah we said um
i don't know if maybe you could you couldn't hear insight potentially so joey insight was um he did
he did respond there he said he said something i don't know if you could hear him no i can't so i'll just let insight speak then
okay no worries um yeah again there isn't any secret recipe or formula and we're not experts
you know we didn't um intend to you know build a community in a certain way um it's always been organic but i
guess to go deeper it's just personally i try to build in a way that makes me feel as though
if i was in that position how would i like to to be valued in that community? And what would I enjoy?
And that's what I always think about.
I think that's what we all think about, putting ourselves in the position of the community
member.
And I think as founders as well, what sets us apart is like what Joey was saying earlier.
We are not just, you know like at the top and
seeing what's happening and you know dictate you know let's do this let's do that on
um how people react is we we're at the top but we're also at the bottom and we are just
like everyone else as community members and you know that that's that's our kind of mind frame and um
yeah i mean in terms of the actual chronological order of teabag that that wasn't planned it was
episode one and then we decided to create that into a series but there was strategy behind it and you
know I think attention in the space is quite you know little and obviously storytelling is key like
you're saying um so really um branching it all out and you know um creating this story over the months that we built T-Bark
was a really fundamental part for people sticking around, I think.
And, you know, that's the way that we've decided to stick by
and carry it through with Jimpers.
And although mystery, surprise and reward,
a lot of people like to see you know tangible
differences and they want to see the next reward or utility that you bring in but i think with
teaback and what we built with that the trust and the the reputation that we had people are
kind of happy to sit and wait and see what's going to come next because like
Ziggy was saying um we don't promise things we just try our best to deliver and um I think we do
um along the way we've um released a lot of amazing things. And I think the community have seen that
and have invested in the community for that reason.
And, yeah, just really getting involved
to see what's coming next.
Yeah, definitely.
You know, like in business, in a factory,
imagine, you know, a manager who never visits the factory floor, you know, is aloof,
they're not sort of respected by the workers and then you don't get the best out of your workers.
And that's how I envision it with Timperton Insight, you know, being there at the coalface on the factory floor, in the Discord,
listening to the FUD and the FOMO and the praise and, you know and the fomo and the praise and you know
the different sides and interjecting and being involved but also being involved in wider
discussions about the space and just seeing gm every morning you know i think that really matters
because you're part of the fabric then you're all in it together so that's um that's one thing and
i've mentioned in space before that you know the, the very nature of this project, we're lucky,
but it's by design that it's episodic,
that there's always something to look forward to.
So everybody after T-Back episode one couldn't wait to see where we were going next.
So we've sort of reached a bit of a hiatus now, sort of.
T-Back series one, you can sort of put a full stop or a comma there.
And actually, you know, that formula works so well and it's all to come.
So once we get going with T-back series two and it's bigger and better,
and I've got to echo Moonvibe is an amazing writer.
Insight's great, Moonvibe's great.
You know, they're working together inside Moovibes
and creating this amazing story.
And I mean amazing.
But on top of that, like you said before,
there's a lot of elements.
It's not just Insight and Tempers.
It's the mods that were handpicked by Insight.
But amazing team of mods.
You know, we've got the Spaces guys who come to us logan alex and greg
and they wanted to be involved so they're doing different spaces each week uh we've got the art
foundation where now we're giving a platform to artists through regular competitions where we
actually buy their art and put it in our open sea um to sort of give a bit of ease to them, but also, you know, give them a platform
and involve them in the community.
And a lot of the things we're building, we're using community artists,
whether that be, you know, Moonvibe as a writer
or artists that create things for the dojo or animations,
sound with Taizo Bloom.
And that's what we're going to do because we're an art-based project and we want to involve as many people as possible on this journey
so we've been you know and the other aspect is you know you notice this week that we've dropped
that game now it's not it's not part of the road map but what we see is when you're building you're
building in the dark and and every project's building.
Many projects are building great things, but it's not visible.
And if it's not visible, it's not happening.
So you've got to, for me, colour in the world that people see
related to your projects.
And that's, you know, by adding fun things, you know, the game.
You know, you can win XP, and you can win a Chimpers, and it's not, you know um the game you know you can win xp and you can win a chimpers and
and it's people it's not you know mega it's not affecting the the roadmap it's something that
we've outsourced and and and those things to me are really important you know having chimpers
weekend you know uh chimpers tuesday all of these things fit together as an overall strategy for developing and engaging a
community at the same time as building something deep and really strong in the background that
affords us the ability to do that and you know when we talk about the community it was only a hundred or a hundred episodes in teaback series one so it wasn't big um so it has
been a job to um grow and still keep that culture there but uh we've managed that and i'm so thankful
for the patience of everybody that's holding on in there with us because believe you me when when
we start releasing things it's going to get teaback series one and more it's going to get T-back Series 1 and more.
It's going to be amazing.
And that's not including some things that are outside of our T-back Series 2.
So, and we can't speak about them because we're on NDAs.
But, you know, like Chimpers is still small within the space the space you know we're not as well known as
moonbirds or doodles and even putchy penguins you know we we're not known we've only been out since
may as chimpers but i can tell you now within a month or two uh many many people inside and
outside of this space will know about Chimpers.
That's all I can say, really.
So, yeah, that's, again, hope not waffling,
just trying to give you a flavour of what we do
and what our strategy is and how we've got here.
And we're really thankful.
And we couldn't be in a better place.
You know, there's a lot of doom and
gloom in the world and and it's such uh an enjoyable uh vehicle to be on this uh adventure
with the community and with the team it's so so good i love i love your monologues and the co
my co-hosts are used to having me as a co-host so i i literally sometimes
just have to like remind myself to i i talk so much so don't don't you morriso join inside you
say as much as you want because uh it's me that will end up hogging the conversation if i'm not
careful as well because i've got so much to say uh based on just some of the things you said but
i need to let beast and grateful and tino um chimp in and uh yeah ask their
own questions and then i'll and then i'll go on another rant whenever uh i i see a gap
metatik we have a midnight edition for you man like three hour space we'll record it and you
can go how long you want you know man it's gonna be like a marathon like 24 hours or something
It's going to be like a marathon, like 24 hours or something.
We have a secret code for when I'm talking too much.
They'll slide me a DM saying, am I taking my pills for my back pain?
I won't go into the context of the inside joke.
We always make this inside joke on stage.
Nobody in the audience ever knows what we're talking about,
but we all find it hilarious.
And it's basically code for Ziggy
Rain it in with you because now she's been talking for 45 minutes straight
That's part of the mystery guys and we gotta be teasing for a few more months and then the NFT collection will drop
So don't worry
Back pain collection. Yeah, exactly
yeah exactly it's gonna be fidgetable probably right oh yeah anyway inside i would love to ask
It's gonna be
you uh actually uh you or sir joey regarding the community i would love to uh dig deeper you know
because uh you said so many cool things and uh the whole like environment it's pretty complex you
know even when metasic uh mentioned all the you know when he tried to explain to me a while ago you know all the books and you should mean this and do this
i was i got so confused like literally and uh your audience is like very uh you know like they follow
you they know uh they they're they're very excited about each of these drops and so on uh so my first
question is uh what was the tipping point in the beginning
when you realized that actually
this community is different,
that we are on something?
That's the first thing.
And regarding that as well,
what would you probably do differently
if you started now?
Or what would you do more of?
Yeah, those are good questions um i mean the tipping point i mean
i guess you could say as soon as we started when timpers created that artwork um teaback episode
one back in july 2021 up to that point he'd been creating artworks one of
one additions um but prior to the nft space he'd never seen anything like that never you know
received such value for his art before and um the the attention and the love on his artwork he did receive, but not in a way where he could be rewarded for it.
And, you know, with the one-on-one artworks, those were auctions.
But when he dropped Teaback episode one, the 100 editions,
and that sold out in a couple of minutes, that was the real, wow.
Like this is, so this is what the NFT space is all about.
You can really, you know, do something special.
And it was just from that point, you know, just gone all in.
Ever since, you know, 12 months ago, every single day, you know, probably more than 12 hours.
I don't know. But, you you know we're just all in and um
spending pretty much the whole year with the community um you build a lot of amazing relationships and connections and it really the culture really spreads amongst the community and
really spreads amongst the community and like Ziggy was saying people become their own champions for
the projects and I think from the each artwork drop it got more exciting but like you say as well
projects can be complex and we're only going to get more complex as we get further into the nft space um now if you're not familiar with the project from the get-go it's pretty difficult
and it's not very it's not without friction for you to get involved with it and it takes a lot
of understanding and explaining and when the space is so fast and people don't have a lot of time
it's difficult and you might
bypass a project for that very reason and I think that's one of the reasons that reasons that I kind
of took it upon myself to reach out to people to explain the the project in a detailed way and
when people started doing that for us and, you know, championing it,
championing it alongside us and spreading the word.
I guess that was the real tipping point because, you know,
up to that point it had been very niche and small with the artwork episodes.
And, you know, it was very hands-on and we was, you know,
trying to do our best to spread the word about our collection.
And from the get-go, it was very small for a number of months because we had those reserves where if you held episode one, you'd get episode two.
And that was really good for building those close connections.
for building those close connections but in terms of expanding it to a wider audience i guess that
was um not a pitfall but it was one of the reasons that you know teabag remained quite niche for a
long time so it was good and bad for different reasons and i guess if we could have done
something differently maybe expand size but you know in hindsight we never knew it would sell out so quickly and
i guess after those six artworks were released we released the e-book and up to that point all
of those artworks were 100 editions each and the e-book was our first um step forwards into a bigger audience and we released 3 000 editions for that and um again um we had no idea
how to expect the the mint it was our first public mint for the very first time it was in march
2021 and it was after all the teabag episodes minted. And we had that brilliant foundation of collectors, the 100 collectors.
But we always wanted to build a community of more people.
And it's always been our ambition to create a wide, large community that can be for everyone, not just for a few people.
And when we released the e-book, it sold out within 30 minutes.
And I think there's been a lot of tipping points.
And, you know, from the very first day where we sold Teaback episode one,
from understanding the collectors and their passion for the artworks.
But the real one was probably the e-book when, you know,
3,000 people got involved and, you know, we sold out very quickly and we almost couldn't
believe it. We was sat there in our room, you know, waiting for the public to be alive, you know,
very stressed and feeling the pressure. We had no idea what to expect and it sold out really quickly and you know from that point
forwards we had not 100 people in the discord but you know a couple of thousand people and then
when we started releasing chimpers teases and building up towards the generative project you
know even more people and going back to the very beginning,
the best thing that we did was just, you know,
create those early connections
because they've just sustained all the way through.
And I think that's one of the real reasons
we've been successful is the trust
and the bonds that we've created from the very beginning.
Yeah, I hope that answers.
So after you guys released the first episodes of T-Bag
and started creating that adventure about the Bored Apes,
around the Bored Apes,
did you already know that at some point in the future
there's going to be these Chimpers and the Chimpers
or you
were really like you know excited about the apes and uh yeah oh sorry no i was gonna say yeah sorry
i was gonna say that yeah um tempus has always stated that he that in fact he's always
created characters
even in the esport days he created
trading cards
for like FaZe Clan
who are an esports organisation
like caricatures, pixel art caricatures
and he's always been into that
and obviously when you're looking around
in the space and seeing
other 10,000 collections come out here, there and everywhere,
obviously Timpers is an artist thinking, you know, getting a bit of FOMO.
I want to do that.
But yeah, so it was as really we transitioned through T-back Series 1
that, you know, it started to crystallise this idea of a collection of Timper's IP.
But what could that be?
So, yeah, as we were working through that, it was like,
okay, so we're going to give the Diamond Fleece NFT
and that will be able to be burned for a genesis.
Genesis what? We don't know.
But, you know, Timper sort of evolved in the background
and he was trying different things
and yeah it ended up um the name well timpers and chimpers and and it just sort of stuck and
and yeah and they're amazing but going back as insight said about when we stepped up from the 100 editions to 3,000 with the e-book and it minted out in 30 minutes, we had no expectations of that.
And I actually said that if we can get, because just one point to mention, the e-book was an allow list to mint jimpers, but it wasn't sold on that basis.
It was sold just as an ebook um for 0.07 ethereum and
yeah so yeah so we said well if we sell a thousand of those and then hopefully as we go along and if
we need to we can then announce an allow list that should push it over the line of selling out um you know but it sold out almost immediately
and then we had the fun of the you know the um releasing the allow list for chimpers which
rewarded holders of teaback uh full sets genesis chimpers you know all the different assets from
teaback series one were rewarded including the e-book, which was Allow List Mint.
So, yeah, and that was a tipping point, growing the community, as Insights said, from a couple of hundred to a few thousand.
And a bit scary, we've got this real tight-knit culture, and how will it be?
But it actually, it just sort of just grew bigger and and it's
carried on so now we're a much um we're we we've got this community now that's much larger but with
the same ethos and the same interests and like-mindedness that share values and um so yeah
that's a great springboard for for the next step ones
because we haven't released anything since may you know we released the dojo and we're training
but really we haven't got going yet we've not we've not really fired any in any shots so
yeah it's going to be fun over the next few months i'm i'm glad that you mentioned dojo uh
i definitely want to get there but I have two more questions
because there's a lot of exciting
stuff like Dojo, the arcade
machine etc but
tell me how hard
or how challenging it is to run
you know
NFT project as a company
you know in
I think you're based in Manchester or
United Kingdom so what are the challenges you know, in, I think you're based in Manchester or, you know, United Kingdom.
So what are the challenges, you know, because we, like, in Czech Republic, you know,
the government doesn't know a lot about crypto, you know, so there's a lot of confusion, you know,
what to do, you know, and stuff.
And the second part of the question would be how technologically hard or challenging it is to have NFT projects your size.
Yes. So firstly, regarding Timpers Teaback, we in December formulated in the UK a limited company.
So we're a legal entity, a limited company in the UK called Timpers Limited.
So that was the first step. And all we've done, because my background is business, outwith of proper understanding of NFTs and crypto and regulations and legislation and VAT and this, all sorts of different taxes and things.
What we've sought to do is let's do, let's seek professional advice.
Let's employ professional people who know what they're doing.
And let's, all you can do then is do what's reasonably practicable.
We're not trying to hide anything.
We're just trying to do the right thing. And I think even if some laws come in that sideswipe us, all we've done all along is try to do the right thing. So we've incorporated as a limited company in December. We've got accountants who are crypto savvy in Manchester, big accountants. So they're dealing with all that side of things we've um when we came to the terms
and conditions of sale for the ip and things we employed um you know a lawyer with a eight you
know a very strong background in crypto and nfts um and you know you know even now making a store
for for merch you know we're seeking the right people and bringing in the skills where possible.
In terms of, and the other thing was, we couldn't even open a bank account to start with.
None of the high street banks would deal with us, you know, because they don't have a clue and you can't get to the right people.
They don't have a clue and you can't get to the right people.
And even banks that were supposedly sort of crypto favourable wouldn't.
But, you know, in the end, that was a big relief to get, you know, so we're a limited company.
We've got a bank account, a business bank account, and we've got all different specialists who help us in the background.
So we're quite stable and solid there.
In terms of technology, our, you know, smart contracts and devs are manifold, you know, Richard, manifold.
They've been around a long time, right from the beginning of T-back Series 1. They've been with us. We're locked in with them, with Chimpers.
and going forward, you know, that's not going to change.
And then Captain Badd, who's, you know, from Fresh Drops,
he's been in the space a long time.
And Captain Badd is a master of, you know, UI front-end, back-end database.
He can turn his hand to everything, and he's worked on things like,
because we like to make things
an experience as well so whether that's
mincing your chimpers
or burning your diamond fleece
or anything it's part of the experience to be
a visual as well as a technical thing
including the dojo
and Captain Bad has
done all of those marvellously for us
so we're deep now in the dojo
the main first goal was to get in there and have the passive training all of those marvelously for us. So, yeah, so we're deep now in the dojo.
The main first goal was to get in there and have the passive training staking,
but the next step is the battling
that's going to be released soon,
and that's a visual amazing thing,
and I've not seen it in the space,
so that'll be really exciting and fun for everybody.
This is really amazing to hear
you know because uh we have many uh successful artists here in the show projects and you know
from outside as you said you know it you know you had maybe good start that you the the like 12
12 months ago it was different time but you know i think that you run the the project as a
business you know and you think about it like that you know so you have the the lawyers and
everything like that i i think it's really really great advice uh because we know about many projects
you know that fail just because they you know they run it like a school project and it didn't
have a chance to uh to succeed and also you see that people who do
stuff correct not i don't want to say right you know because what's right but you know for example
if i go to your discord uh i can uh chronologically see you know what happened you know when i can
understand uh what you did and actually when i did the research today it wasn't it was quite
easy to understand you know the genesis of Chimpers
and how it started and where it's going.
And building community around that is a powerful thing.
And, you know, the Gabe Weiss, we had spaces, I don't know, last week.
He was able to sell out the collection of over 5,000 pieces in the bear market,
you know, because he had such a strong community and did things you know well so that's that's really interesting to hear and also that
you connected with you know manifold which is probably the best you know or one of the best
smart contract i don't know if there are a company or individuals in the space. So it's really interesting to hear that, you know.
So, yeah.
Yeah, just to say Manifold are a company.
You know, he's got a really quite large and strong team there
that cover all sorts of things.
So, yeah, to have that, you know, because, you know,
some teams keep it in-house, others outsource. all sorts of things so yeah to have that um you know because they you know some some team teams
keep it in house others outsource it's great for us because we get the service the quality
you know the delivery everything um so it's really it feels good to be supported you know that way
so can i go on and have a little rant i i'm i'm terrible because i'm not the sort of person that
like takes loads go for it then we want to talk about a dojo staking yeah exactly exactly i'm
gonna let you guys like lead the flow and like take the direction of the conversation and questions
the next place so i'm just gonna kind of shoot from the hip when i like i i've i've just taken
a couple of notes here but i normally sort of hear something and then i'm like oh i've thought of something and i talk about it there and then and that's why i
talk so much and hog the conversation so much but i'm i'm training i'm trying to train myself
in the dojo to you're training in dojo right i'm training in dojo yeah getting some xp for that
exactly i'm getting xp for letting other people talk but no i'm again so basically i'm gonna i'm
gonna give myself a role today of just filling in for
tempers because um i'm far too biased to be a co-host today so i'm actually filling in for
tempers i've i've uh self-elected myself as as uh tempers um uh fill in today um but i just want
guys are you hiring are you hiring i'm gonna i'm gonna be the one offering them work i'm gonna be
asking insight can you write some law for my ape and I'll pay you.
So before I do start writing again,
I just want to open the floor.
If any, I can see too many to name you all,
but just in the Grey, Captain Bad, Travis, Moon Vibe,
Pistol Pink, any of you, Sergeant Salt Shot.
Yeah, I can't keep saying there's too many,
but any of you request and you're welcome to come off the stage even if you just want to listen from up here um so just going back to um you know the the the well first of all the community aspect so back in back when before
the auctions of the genesis champers and possibly before the ebooks the the discord like you've got
to remember it's 100 editions.
So it's not like a massive community.
And I know you said it was different back then, Grateful,
but actually, like, these guys,
I'm going to say the things that they're too humble to say, okay?
And I don't care.
I'm going to say it anyway.
But essentially, like, they dropped in bear markets. They've dropped, I think, you know, a few of their things
have been in a bear market,
and they've done kind of what Gabeabe wise has done and really smashed it so so actually the discord was only like a few hundred people back then if i remember correctly but it
was solid like the people that were collecting teaback series one they were mostly apes they
were mostly bayc and that's what again like early bayc vibes no it's literally bayc members like the
members of bayc were a lot were a good
majority of the collectors and what happens is when new people come in if new people come into
a collection and it's a bunch of of moon boys and and you know flippers and you know shit coin
shillers and things like that that's kind of what the new members are going to get a taste of and
if they're not like that they're going to run uh or if or if they're new they're going to become
like that so people that came into Chimpers they became like bayc because the holders of chimpers t-back series one sorry
uh were bayc so that's why the community has kind of this this strong ethos also everything is
actually it's done properly they've done it properly like there's too many projects out
there being supported by by people that that haven't done all the legal side of things that
haven't got lawyers that aren't a limited company um that that don't done all the legal side of things, that haven't got lawyers, that aren't a
limited company, that don't have this kind of infrastructure that these guys have. And like,
you know, if anything, there were any banana skins down the line where the SEC, you know,
for an American investor or the UK, you know, FCA or something like that came in and said anything,
they've covered their backs.
They've not done anything, you know, that they could slip up on.
So the community was small.
It minted out amazingly.
And I remember there was like, the community was solid
and it was like these few people.
But I remember there was almost like this switch flipped.
And I think it was around the time of the ebook.
And people just started flowing into the Discord.
And, you know, the Discord just grew to thousands thousands and maybe it was thousands already i don't remember
quite quite but it just it grew and it grew and it grew and and the um the kind of ethos and the
the like the mentality of the people that were there originally kind of rubbed off on the new
people and like they meant like insight and and and timpers and so joey they are in their feet on the ground um both as like you say as a
founder but also as a as a member getting the feedback really really understanding it from like
not just the the the support but the fud also and the you know the uh the fomo and everything
and like everything everything along the way like i don't think a lot of founders
will admit it um and i'm not saying that this is the case with with um chimpers and actually i like
it if it is but you've got to adapt if you don't sell out you can't do the things that you've
promised do you know what i mean so why why promise something if you don't know you're going
to sell out and do it you're going oh we're going to do this we're going to do that well
well you need funding for that so so so for me what i see in them and and
i'm going to like speculate on alpha because we're probably it's probably going to more likely to get
blood out of a stone than getting alpha out of these guys you know especially if they've signed
an nda or or new information it's all alpha in my opinion but um like the the first of all, the community, yeah, so you have to adapt.
But the community in the early stages is the only other spaces I've ever joined is the one that Greg and Alex saw.
I think there's two different spaces.
there's the community one and then there's like the um the spotlight one and then the
There's the community one and then there's the spotlight one.
the first space i ever joined i thought my i smoked a joint and then my cousin pulled me up
on his spaces once and i was like oh hi i was new i'm like hi i'm just a trader and i was basically
in a room of complete geniuses and i just felt like the biggest idiot in the room and i was high
and i was like for like four seconds like yeah I really like what you're doing and I just yeah you know you know that was my first experience of spaces my first
proper experience on the spaces was um jumping on stage with Grateful and Beast and Tino and just
kind of saying the same sort of thing but sober you don't say that I really like you guys similar
to what I said you know when I first came on the Chimpers spaces and the only other spaces I've
ever joined the stage is a Chimpers one and the only other spaces I've ever joined the
stage is a Chimpers one. Okay. So, so what does that say about the community and how it makes
somebody feel, especially like people, I'm very confident when I'm not baked, but when I'm baked,
you know, you kind of, people like that don't just jump on spaces and stuff. And that's how
they made me feel. That's how they made me feel. They made me feel so, so much like that, that,
you know, instead of going to watch Snoop Dogg and eminem i fucked up the days on the tickets but i went to the chimpers meet up in new york and i met captain bad and insight and
and timpers and a lot of people in the audience i fucking loved it it was great it you know it was
quite an intimate one it was you know it's early sort of building days and a lot of uk holders and
stuff as well and it's out in new york but um it was it was just
great to see timpers and insight come from like their their bedroom to the to the high life you
know of new york living up in new york and and everyone's just like running around new york
looking for stickers and stuff like that so that was one thing i wanted to to um to mention the
other thing was yeah they do it properly um they they actually have the infrastructure in place
they actually go and speak to lawyers they actually have a limited company the other thing was, yeah, they do it properly. They actually have the infrastructure in place. They actually go and speak to lawyers.
They actually have a limited company.
The other thing is that they are, in my opinion, I'm speculating here, but they're adaptive.
And I think they're reading the market better than nearly anybody.
The macro market, not just the crypto and NFT market, but the whole market as a whole.
And adapting accordingly.
Everything is mystery, surprise and reward.
This project is built with longevity in mind like every defy project that comes out has a has a
lifespan of two years if it makes it there if it's if it's even lucky right so so the the ebook or
the the original um teaback episode one it was a kind of a mystery as to what that was and then
and then the surprise was okay you've got episode. And then, and then the surprise was, okay, you've got episode one, two, three, four.
And then the reward was,
well,
again,
sorry, last time I speak about prices,
but the,
the thing that I paid,
what I thought was quite high 0.8 for that episode four or whatever it was,
I ended up selling that thing for 70 and,
you know,
and getting all these other things to mint chimps with.
so there's,
there's always,
for me,
there's always some sort of reward,
the arcade machine,
you know,
that they've not even launched the next thing,
but you've got all this stuff happening in the dojo,
all the nostalgic kind of staking experience and everything.
And then suddenly this arcade machine pops up, you know,
the mystery of what's happening in the dojo.
And suddenly the arcade machine, I'm like, oh, surprise,
there's an arcade machine.
And then you play it and you win a Chimpers reward.
You know, again, mystery, surprise, reward.
Mystery, surprise, reward.
The T-back series one one teaback series two i can't wait for teaback series 15 like i can see this
thing going and going and going and going and like forget all the the the biases i've got because of
the bonds i've made because insight has made me feel like a genuinely valued member of the community like he has with pretty
much everybody else in this in this audience um is that i put chimpers again i'm talking from my
opinion i'm not a team member but i put chimpers in the same category there's a box of three of
my favorite projects aside from bayc 10 ktf jenkins chimpers they're doing it right they're doing it
right they're they're building it right. They're doing it right.
They're building it for longevity.
They're not coming out with some Ponzinomics for their staking system and then basically pumping the thing
and then sort of sailing off into the sunset with their millions.
I can tell you now, I will trade.
You will see me listing Chimpers.
Sometimes, depending on the market, where the market's going,
you might see me listing Chimpers for a 0.1 loss.
Sue me.
I will trade Chimpers because I'm a trader, but i promise you i'll be holding one or more chimpers for as
long as surgery insight and timpers and everybody else are working um i'm gonna go on mute now
because i already have spoken too much but that's my six fence i just wanted to kind of get my bit
in there again i see greg's joined the stage. Welcome, brother. Beat bro. Welcome, my friend.
From you back.
And yeah, anybody else who wants to join.
But I just wanted to say my piece again.
I love the excitement, man.
It's awesome.
And GMGM, Greg, how are you doing?
GMGM, full transparency. I am in the middle of in real life business operation. Multiple clients
are on the fitness floor currently.
I had to
chimp out, tune in.
You guys are amazing with what you do.
You've been on fire, man.
Are you sure you're not on payroll?
It's a lot of coffee.
It's a lot of coffee.
I'm in a different country i'm loving the energy i just
wanted to get on and uh say you guys are amazing and i don't have a lot of time that i can uh i
can spend here uh just because yeah quite literally uh i should be out on my on my fitness
floor training my clients but just uh i guess if, speak to, you know, what this team, what this project, what this community has done for me.
It's created this truly unique experience where I'm going against a lot of, you know, traditional kind of investment philosophy with keeping emotion on the sideline.
That's one of the unique phenomenons that I've experienced in the space and a lot will speak to, you know, is just stay objective as you can and watch that
subjective kind of effect some collections have. But I'm okay with it with Chimpers just because of
the belief I have on the team and the belief that you've spoken to so well on several occasions
that I've been able to hear with regards to the whys behind it.
I mean, they've demonstrated it more so than any collection that I can really think of today.
Of course, maybe a couple out there, right?
The ones that we're most familiar with and ones that have inspired this project,
BAC and maybe a couple others.
But just what they're doing right now and what they continue to do,
this incremental, slow, gradual, organic build.
this incremental, slow, gradual, organic build,
I'm still as bullish as I've been since when I first found out about Tempers
in a similar vein that you spoke to, MetaZig, with how you found out about Tempers.
And then when T-back came around, you were just as enthusiastic,
but not more so, to get involved.
And, you know, it's crazy times.
I have a feeling it's going to get a little bit crazier.
But I believe that eventually, like with anything else,
it's an ebb and flow.
We're going to get through this,
and then we're going to be stronger as a result of going through this.
And I'm just very enthusiastic and love the vibes.
And I think it's good for me as being someone within the space
because there hasn't been a whole lot of that from my standpoint.
I've had to kind of separate just a little bit because I'm usually a very upbeat, positive
person and, you know, with personal life kind of gets in the way.
And then my attachment to this to the space has been one that it has impacted me, maybe
in some negative ways.
Case in point, I'm literally in the middle of my fitness class and here I am.
But it just goes to show that, you know, there's a balance, right, like with anything.
And, you know, we're people that are here right now, people that feel the way they do
and they maybe aren't able to explain it in a rational way because there's an emotional
context to it, but they're confident that eventually we're going to get through it.
Like last night with the merge, you know,. The merge happened. I think Chimpers is going to continue
to happen, and then more people will become familiar with Chimpers and the team and all
the moving facets to it, not just the amazing pixel art, but like you had mentioned, the dojo,
just the video games. How many collections can you name right now? Any? I'm open ears where there's like a video game, a legit video game, retro, simple, but still fun nonetheless.
And I could just keep going on kind of like with you, what I heard you, you know, essentially just going on a rant.
Right. But it's it's good stuff.
I can't stay much longer, but I just wanted to chime in.
Respect, appreciate you all.
You guys are doing great things in this space.
We've got to keep pumping the positivity,
keep supporting projects that are building and doing real things,
and we're all going to win at the end.
Love that, Greg.
Yeah, thank you so much for coming up.
Yeah, amen.
Amen to that.
Amen to that.
You said it way more humbly and and and and less excited like
you know that's that's crazy than i did but i really um yeah i really really resonate with
what you're saying because this is the thing is there's lots of there's lots of gregs and metazigs
and like i say i'll scroll through this audience i can see so many you know flag flag bearers so
to speak so it's one of those projects like yourself but you know i don't care about the floor other than you know my because i trade and stuff you know i want i want all floors
to go up but then i want them to come down so i want to buy them again like for me it's one of
those projects that is built for longevity um i don't care about the floor and this is the alpha
for me that i'm speculating but if all goes well and you've got to understand that if all doesn't
go well there's an apocalypse the market goes to shit then things can't get done but if all goes well and you've got to understand that if all doesn't go well there's
an apocalypse the market goes to shit then things can't get done but if all goes well i see um
chimpers and teaback becoming you know a cinematic universe or or just a universe it doesn't even
just have to be a cinematic universe i i see it becoming a universe where you've got like
you've got your steak in yeah and your dojo and everything that but you've got like a pokemon style battling game on the side i don't know how the battling's gonna where you've got like, you've got your stake in, yeah, and your dojo and everything that, but you've got like a Pokemon style battling game on the side.
I don't know how the battling is going to go.
You've got movies being made.
You've got,
you know,
content being created by the community.
You've got the IRL stuff.
It's,
it's,
I just,
yeah,
there's,
there's so much to come and I think it's all kind of,
going to be adapted. And, and yeah, again, the mystery surprise and what I think we's all kind of going to be adapted.
And yeah, again, the mystery, surprise and ward,
I think we'll learn as time comes.
But I see a lot of big things happening.
And that's why I put them in the same category
as 10KTF Jenkins and Jimpers.
But thank you, Greg.
Appreciate you coming up here, mate.
Yeah, cheers.
Thanks, Greg.
And Greg Scott is one of the hosts of the space the weekly spaces for
the art foundation so that's later on today greg's uh a couple of hours or might be what an hour
actually so check greg's profile for the spaces so yeah we've got amazing uh members of the
community one one thing that i would mention is that um if you zoom out and it's a question asked by collectors investors in the project you know
about growth how you're going to grow and then nft market generally needs to grow needs to bridge
the gap with the with the real world and um you know we as a project have have to and want to grow and are working in those areas
to to grow and it's good though because we've still only got you know a small collection even
though we've gone from 100 episodes of teaback with now 5 000 which is a very tight number
uh we've not gone any further than that um but we to get more eyes on chimpers and that that's some
of the things if we zoom out and look at potential partnerships that's where we're working as well as
outside of teaback series two in the dojo etc because the teaback series two in the dojo will
get more eyes within this NFT world,
no doubt about it.
But we've got to bridge the gap if we want to grow as a brand,
which we do.
And we've got a great IP, as Metasig was just saying there, you can see these characters being in all sorts of areas of media.
And yeah, so watch this space.
I see one hand.
Beat Broker, welcome on the stage.
How are you doing?
I am so well.
Thank you for having me.
A big hello to the team.
I have loved the storyline and lore development
as delivered by Sir Joey throughout the past couple months.
It is, yeah, it's awesome to see and now be a part of. And something Sir Joey talked on
is growth and spread the word. And I was just looking through the website. My question is this,
is like growth and spreading the word also comes through branching out in communities that are not involved with Web3.
And the first thing that comes to mind is merchandise.
And I just ran through the website and I was just looking at what are the IP rights?
What could I use my chimp for?
Is there merch that's accessible? Like i would love to have my face on a
hoodie like and and i i don't know if you have access to that if you guys are offering that
um is that something i could do with my chimp for myself um i know i can't sell it but but that's great that's a great topic bro that's
great topic bro and i wanted to also to ask so i read something that if you minted your
chimper you have the commercial right is that correct or if you can be you know tell us a
little bit more how that works yeah um yeah full commercial right so yeah if you wanted to create uh with your
nice chimpers there um a range of clothing and commercialize that and sell that you can do
freely with with no limits um but apart aside from you know that you may want to do yourself
of course we're going to have merch in
the future. It's one of the
things we're working on.
We've got many
work streams going on, but
as you would expect, merch would be one of those.
So, Beadbro,
you can make your merch.
Yeah, perfect.
And then just a follow-up question. Is there any So Beat Bro, you can make your merch. Yeah, perfect, perfect.
And then just follow-up question.
Is there any intel coming with the e-books and future utility?
Like how do we gear up for the next episode of what you guys are doing?
Is there anything you can give us?
Come on, you got a group of fans that love you here.
Like work with us.
Alpha time, baby.
Yeah.
Yeah, just going back to the e-book I mentioned previously,
we sold 3,000 e-books at 0.07.
You know, that's what we sold them for.
And they had then the surprise utility of being an allow list to mint the Chimpers.
But then straight away, in fact, even before the mint,
people were asking, well, what's the magic e-book going to do next?
It's an e-book, but we do recognise that it did, in all seriousness,
go to very high levels.
I think it touched or went over four ETH at one stage.
Now, we can't control that, but we do recognise that.
And all we've studied, T-back Series 1 assets will always be important
for their provenance as being part of this project, you know,
for what they are.
But also we'll look to
reward those
where we can where it's
prudent to do so where it makes
sense so you know
as the project grows there are more
assets so you've got to be very careful not
to water things down and
to do things not just knee jerk
where they actually fit with the project.
But yeah, but in terms of, you know,
you've got a verified chimpers there.
So all I can say for now is if you're staked in the dojo,
you're positioned perfectly.
So just keep training, battling will be soon,
and then we'll be adventuring into T-back series too.
I am training in the dojo.
Super excited.
Yeah, and make sure that you have a go
at the new video game, the Chimp Run,
and you might win 10 XP and get your yellow bandana.
Let's fucking go.
Thanks for joining Beat Brown. thank you for your good questions cheers man what's up aka welcome on the stage hey hey just thought i'd pop up and say hello if everyone
could kind of keep the vibes down a bit because i'm trying to put some offers in
and uh you're gonna start making the floor go back up which is much as i want to see
i kind of want to keep it low for my own selfish reasons
love it you think like me aka although i don't help matters i don't think
nah it's just it's inevitable i think like now we're through the merge i think everyone's going
to stop shitting their pants for want of a better term and, you know, realize they're not going to suddenly lose access to all their NFTs or even they've had stakes still there, their ETH is still safe and hopefully we can get a bit of normality back.
Guys, you touched the staking, you know, and XP's. Could you explain how this works, you know, and why you're staking your chimpers and what you're getting?
Well, I mean, that is the question of what we're getting,
but nobody really knows apart from the team,
and they keep that tight-lipped.
But, you know, every time I get a new chimp,
it goes straight in the dojo for the simple fact that, you know,
we know that leveling up and getting new
bandanas is going to unlock something we just don't know what and i think that's half the draw
with this project is you know these guys are going to deliver like fedex you just don't know what it's
going to be you know it's going to be awesome but you know if you're not steak you're not going to
get that bandana mystery Mystery. It is.
It's all about the mystery.
But I think it's, you know, coming back to community,
I think that's the kind of thing I wanted to hit on.
And I think it's good that, you know, obviously we all know,
you know, Timpers is the man and the art and everything.
But, you know, you've got the team behind the team.
And, you know, I only found out a little while ago that Insight was his brother, you know, and got the team behind the team and you know i only found out a
little while ago that insight was his brother you know and that does all the storylines and i think
the problem is they're all just very modest so they kind of need almost the community to push
them out and to big them up and trappy people like me and probably greg and a few others that
sort of go out and just keep banging drums and i think there's a
lot of people in this community that kind of go out banging the drum because other people are
far too modest to go out and do it
yeah exactly that's why uh that's why my co-hosts were telling me off my back pain in the group chat
because um insight so so humble and I was just literally on a raging rant
about how sick the chimp first is.
Like, bro, let Insight talk a little bit.
Let's enjoy talking about it.
I'm like, no, this is great and I want to tell everyone.
That's it.
I've never felt so safe in a project before.
You just hold it.
You know where we're going.
You know what's dialed in you
know what the future well you don't know quite what the future holds but you know that the only
way that chimpers takes an L and we take an L on our investment is if you know NFTs go to zero
you know and web3 fails which I kind of always articulate it back to when, you know,
I was younger and the internet first became a thing
and my parents were saying, oh, don't get too used to it.
Someone will turn it off in a minute.
And that total lack of understanding of how it worked
or what it meant to the future.
And I think, you know, everyone always says, oh, we're early, we're early,
but we're all so early in this.
And you think, you know,
as there becomes more and more adoption into this space,
you know, there's going to become more projects.
Yeah, but the cream that rises to the top
is going to kind of stay there.
And I think it's just such a safe community to be in.
Amazing.
Guys, inside answer, Joey, anything that you would like to add today
that we maybe forget?
I know we could have this space for hours and hours,
but anything that you would like to share with the audience right now
that we maybe forget?
I think everything has been covered.
It's been a really enjoyable spaces.
You guys are awesome.
From the intro to all of the questions,
I really enjoyed it.
I guess in terms of we spoke a lot about Te-Bark and Chimpers and the dojo
and we're working on a lot of things.
Like Joey said, there's lots of streams going on in the background.
The next, I guess, two months in particular are going to be exciting.
A lot of the things that we've been working on are going to start coming into play
and we'll be rolling these out and a lot of them involve
like cool collabs and exciting things for our holders to be looking forward to. So yeah,
as an additional thing from what we've been talking about, yeah, I guess that's just one
thing we missed out. But yeah, just heads i'm ready to go and keep keep on chimping
yeah we just yeah thanks thanks just quickly i'm just going to hijack it quick because obviously
travis is on it and we've got a uk meet up like uh yes one happening what's that week saturday
i think and then we've obviously got the next one,
well, around NFT London as well.
So just in case there's anyone living under a rock,
been touching too much grass and doesn't know.
No, absolutely.
Yeah, I totally forgot.
In real life events, we've got the Travis one this weekend.
He's hooked up a nice spot in London a few chimpers are heading
down there myself included and then NFT London which is the start of November will have
our first official event there a really great venue with some awesome things a great
events manager putting together a really cool really cool um event for us for the whole evening and um next week i think we'll be announcing as
well that we'll be going to the web3 expo in las vegas which is um a bunch of you know crypto
like-minded people speakers experts from all walks of you, like-minded people, speakers, experts from all walks of traditional finance
and people in the space like Zeneca, Ryan Carson, lots of people.
And we'll have our own booth there to spread the chimp word.
But yeah, in real life stuff, lots going on there.
Thanks, AKA. And nice to speak to you in person. It's what's going on there. Thanks, AKA.
And nice to speak to you in person.
It's great to hear from you
and champion us.
Like we've been mentioning through the space,
you know, the community just,
yeah, unreal.
Yeah, just say thanks for inviting us
and letting us have a platform
to tell you about our project, really,
and hope that we was able to articulate our journey
and hopefully you're as excited as we are about the future
and we'll just keep building and trying to add value in every which way we can
to all of our amazing holders and investors in the community
and have some fun while we're doing it.
And that's what we've done and that's the goal.
But growth and getting more eyes on Chimpers is the key goal.
And that's a large part of our strategy.
And that's a large part of our strategy.
Beast, you know, do you have anything to add?
I just lied.
You could hear from the community, you know,
like how genuine and how great job you guys did.
And we're all cheering for you and for the entire community.
Thank you so much for being on the show.
And yeah, hopefully see you on one of the IRL events.
And it's amazing what you guys have been building.
Yeah, thank you guys for joining us.
It's beautiful that you mentioned many times the word community
times the word community and building long-term step by step and then we could see like really
and building long-term step-by-step.
live how is how excited the community is right metazic aka beat broker greg like
such an amazing vibes and like yeah really genuine and
really great.
So thank you, guys.
Thank you for joining us.
Beatroll.
Beatroll, yeah.
Hey, hey, yeah, super, super quick.
While the Chimpers team is here and we're talking about outreach and IRL events,
are you guys planning doing anything for NFT Miami,
AKA Art Basel?
That isn't on the horizon.
That's one thing that we haven't delved into,
but we are hoping to kind of, you know,
bridge between there and with the Las Vegas, and we'll definitely be planning something for NFT New York in the summer.
So yeah, we will be there for those two.
The Miami, I'm not so sure, but I hope that you can make at least one of them.
Hopefully we can see you.
Brilliant. Thank you, sir.
Metazik, it's up to you now. brilliant thank you sir metazig
it's up to you now
no I'm not gonna
I think I've kind of said most of what I wanted
to say
with my little rants
my large rants but
just honoured and thank you
Insight and Sir Joey
and everybody that joined the stage
Beatbro aka Greg
Timpers I hope you're you're
tuning in and listening at some point and you know we we fucking love you bro you're you're amazing
and yeah just thank you so much for joining it's been an absolute pleasure talking to you
and um yeah brilliant i love aka just very quickly so i love AK's British humor as well like if if you've been
hiding under a rock touching too much grass and you don't love your little sayings as well mate
to be honest it's one of the other massive things that I love about this project
is that like so many of them are in the UK and normally you find that everything is just very
like US centric but there's a lot of US people as well
there are a lot of US people as well
is this British thing to
touching grass
underneath a rock because
when we saw Metal Zik after ApeFest
he definitely was doing that
to be fair
most people in this space are smoking
more grass than they're touching I think
I do both.
I do both.
I fit in really well in New York because weed's legal out there.
But the point I was going to come to with that,
AK, is that I absolutely agree with you.
Anybody that doesn't know what chimpers is
or doesn't have a chimp in their wallet,
either is building up the ETH to do so
or has been living under a rock
so if i can if i can achieve anything out of this space is is by this time next week if i can see a
chimpers in beast grateful and tino's wallet then then i know we've uh then we've then we've
achieved what i wanted to achieve secretly amazing guys uh thank you guys for listening
thank you sir Joey and Insight for joining us
today it was a great episode I really
enjoy it
it's a pleasure you know we
we love doing spaces
with projects that are pushing this space
forward you know that's why we are here
you know to help onboard people
and also to share what you guys
doing so it was a pleasure.
Thank you so much.
And this Saturday we'll have
also interesting episode with ApeWater.
And they are using IP leverage of Ape
to actually build Web3 beverage companies.
So it's also interesting story,
you know, what you can do with your IP
and how you
can build actual company so yeah thank you guys so much for listening and your support uh thank
you chimpers chimp chimp everyone for joining you know it's a pleasure and now i think it's a time
for you to join the dojo what do you think 100 it% it is thank you Insight, thank you sir Joey once again
We do one chip together before I turn on the music?
