Full Transcription
Yo, guys.
Thanks for doing the mute up.
We're going to get it pumping in here.
I'm just out and about right now.
Give me one moment.
I got you.
Give me a moment.
Give me a moment.
Give me a moment.
All right.
Well, I guess today...
Can you guys hear me?
Give me a thumbs up.
Yeah, I think.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I guess today we're going to go with the stock Twitter music just for a minute or two
just to get people joined in because I'm not at home with my usual speaker setup.
So, yeah.
One second.
If I could play this music.
Nah, it's all good.
We're just going to jump in today.
Well, we'll do an outro with music.
I usually don't do an outro.
So we'll do the outro with some tunes instead of the intro.
It's all good.
Yeah.
Welcome to Mech Monday, guys.
Appreciate you all joining up.
We're here to talk about IPG.
Yeah.
I don't have my co-host with me or some of the usual suspects.
It seems like everybody's kind of MIA on Memorial Day, which is totally understandable.
I probably should have taken that into account and maybe have just foregone this space.
But since you guys are all here, it's worth it.
But hopefully someone comes up to talk with me because nobody wants to hear me talk to myself
for an hour.
Usually we have on Mondays, we seem to usually get an IPG teaser for champions and such, but
that's also delayed due to Memorial Day.
So I'm going to pin some things up top that they tweeted out recently, or mainly one thing,
that this week is going to be interesting, quote unquote.
And I'm really excited to see what that means.
I know we got three total teasers for the next champion.
I'm sure that's going to be coming to fruition very soon.
Encouraging everybody to stay very woke on the details of that.
I know people are waiting up pretty badly because it's, you know,
with the way that the champion, caliber champion was and how well received it was,
a magic one is probably just going to take it to the next level.
I think I speak for everybody when I say we all want to do that.
But yeah, we're going to have the IPG account come up.
We're going to talk with the intern a little bit.
He's going to come up in a second.
He just sent me a DM.
So we'll have at least one speaker.
You guys don't have to listen to me ramble on my monologue.
But yeah, you know, it doesn't have to be about IPG.
We can just chat about the market.
Oh, we got a request.
Okay, let's add him up.
You know, shitcoin season is still going on.
I don't know how it's still going strong.
I'm still out of the loop.
But, you know, I just got put in a group today with one of the listeners down there.
I won't name any names.
I'm not trying to spill no alpha, but he's a goat and definitely trying to get in on that wave.
Just been really busy today.
You know how it is when you step away for one minute and you miss a thousand plays in space.
So I'm going to be on my grizzly soon.
We start grinding, try to make some money, you know.
I want to see everybody win.
I'm glad for those of y'all that are making a bag in this market.
It's definitely not easy to do.
But yeah, we got the IPG's account up here with the intern who's going to be available in a minute to speak.
And we have Yemi.
Yemi, what's going on and what's the vibes today, brother?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good, brother.
How are you doing, Tufa?
How are you doing today?
I'm good.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
Just trying to rest now.
It's been a long day.
And it's nice.
So, Sims, are you on the road?
What's up, brother?
Yeah, I said, are you on the road or something?
Sounds like you're on the road.
Yeah, I'm in the car, unfortunately.
I'm actually probably going to take off the Bluetooth.
Okay.
Yeah, can you guys hear?
Does it sound better now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, all right, cool.
Yeah, because my car sometimes, I don't know why, it doesn't work well.
But yeah, I'm on the road, headed back home.
But what did you get into today?
You said you had a long day.
Yeah, you know, it's 10 p.m. for me, so it's been a long day.
And today is like a public holiday here in Nigeria, you know.
We have our new president being sweared in today.
Yeah.
Like, on holiday.
So I've just been out almost all day.
Just kind of meet with one or two people, you know.
So, so far, it's been good.
Nice.
Holidays all around.
Thanks for coming up and chilling.
I know you're always down the vibe, even though it's late for years.
I see lots of legends down in the crowd.
Lots of people repping on IPG.
I know we got BH in here.
He just scooped a few more himself.
He's a legend.
Morton, Morton, check your DM, by the way.
I sent you a DM about your IPG thing that you had requested.
I'm going to get that over to you.
Hopefully tonight.
We just got to put the final touches on it.
But, yeah, lots of goats.
Damn, we're missing the usual suspects that are down to talk IPG with me.
I mean, Court of Milk, EPJ, Vincent, Nick, Adam Ape himself.
Dude, Troy, you're good, man.
You don't have to apologize.
Man, man, I'm just excited to see this champion.
I don't know.
Yemi, have you been eyeing any IPGs lately on the floor or what?
Yeah, honestly, I've just been, I've been eyeing a lot.
There's been a lot that I've been looking up to, you know, to get, but, you know, in most
of my statement, I'm always being honest, too.
Like, if I had the capacity to actually snipe one, I would have done that for long, you know.
But, you know, from the start of, from even before the mint, I actually tried my best.
But since, I wasn't able to meet up last night, so it's fine, too.
I guess, but I believe one day, definitely, I'll be there.
For sure, man.
But it's a lot I didn't know.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, man.
I mean, it's all in due time, you know.
You just got to take it day by day.
I'm sure you'll make a flip somewhere and just be able to scoop one up.
Hopefully, the floor hasn't taken off too far out of your range by then.
But, yeah, I believe in you, bro.
You know, even, even though you may not own, you still show up and support, man.
That's all that really matters.
I think a couple of people are busy.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, so.
Yeah.
I think space is just about 12 minutes, so let's see.
We're still going to have a couple of people come up and speak to us or something.
Yeah, man.
It's all good, you know.
I might even cut it short today because last week, you know, I made sure this space was
recorded because last week was such an amazing space.
But then people wanted to listen to it after, and I realized it wasn't recorded.
I felt really bad.
But we won't have that problem going forward.
We'll make that mistake again, trust.
Because, yeah.
You know, it kind of sucks because the conversation last week was so, like, in-depth and thought,
you know, thought-provoking about the future of the project and everything.
And here we are with just me and Yemi chilling and chatting in those spaces recorded.
So it's pretty funny how that goes.
Yeah, I just got back home.
It's freaking beautiful out.
I'm gonna go inside and grab a drink.
That's great.
You know.
I just want to try to post the link in the group again so, you know, see, maybe we can
get some other guys in.
Let's see.
Yeah, for sure.
I don't, you know, it's all good if people don't want to speak, you know.
I just, we're here to chat.
But, um, I just wish we had more content to talk about.
Um, I don't know.
I've just been looking at the floor myself recently, to be honest.
Uh, if you guys look there, BH is rocking the, the beanie.
And I really do think that the beanie is, like, the cleanest, uh, the cleanest trait in the
whole collection.
Um, as far as, as far as head goes, like, yeah, there's, there's cool ones like the pothead,
which I really would like to have, to be honest.
Uh, but, I don't know.
I've been, I was offered to get, like, a custom one, uh, similar to BH's with any traits that
I would like.
And, uh, I was thinking about an olive beanie because, uh, you know, I got the beanie IF
here, but I would, I would really love a beanie.
Um, and olive is one of my favorite colors.
So, if I could get an olive beanie, man, I might really have to do that.
Um, I'm looking for a tweet from Ironpaw.
Okay.
About, just about this week, being exciting.
Coming up.
Oh, you ought to bring that to the Jumbotron.
Yeah, I'm trying it, but, not finding it.
Oh, here it is.
Yeah, like I said, usually we would have a sneak peek, I feel like, today.
Um, maybe not set in stone, but I, I think that, uh, the Memorial Day, we're pushing that
off a little bit.
But, fun week ahead, uh, yeah, I said interesting week, that was wrong.
It's fun week ahead.
Um, so, yeah, I don't know.
We got official, official word from the main account that there's a fun week coming and
I'm ready for fun.
I don't know about you guys, but this collection is, is super fun.
I'm, uh, always discovering something new, to be honest, in the, in the, I feel like a
lot of the roof traits I, like, didn't, uh, paying attention to.
For some reason, like, they just kind of, like, everything else is so attention grabbing
that they kind of fell by the wayside.
Yeah.
Um, so, yeah, like, yeah, I, I've been scrolling through the collection, checking, checking the
sales and kind of, kind of wallet watching some people and, uh, discovering a few new
things that it's actually pretty cool.
Um, yeah.
I still want one of the aquariums.
Um, that's a, that's a roof trait.
Um, uh, not aquarium, I'm sorry.
Uh, greenhouse.
Um, there's a greenhouse trait where it's on top of the roof.
Uh, it's got flowers in it and I really just think it's like so clean.
Uh, one of the first mechs I was trying to buy when the collection minted out had the
greenhouse and I wasn't able to scoop it before, you know, it went.
Um, but it's all good cause I ended up getting my, my forever one, um, with the, with the
scuba diver or the snorkeler, um, the whole winter theme.
And that one is like just super, uh, cohesive, which I love.
Like I had to scoop that one, even though it has a cactus on the back.
Yeah.
It still works because technically cactus is full of water.
So it kind of worked with the rest of the, the rest of my traits.
Uh, so it was all good.
Yo, yo, yo.
Iron Paul, your mic is, uh, live.
Yes, yes.
What is up?
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, we can, we can.
Yo, what is up guys?
How are we all doing?
Yeah, me, can you hear me really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How are we all doing today?
We can't hear you.
How are we all doing today, fam?
How are we doing on this lovely Memorial Day?
Yeah, I'm doing greats, doing greats.
How about you, bro?
Dude, just chilling, man.
Just chilling.
Um, tweeting, retweeting all the mechs that I see on the timeline.
Uh, oh, there's one right there.
There's another retweet.
Um, just, uh, enjoying myself, man.
Um, sorry I was late to, to be able to speak.
Man, I hope I'm not rugging right now.
Oh, I don't think Topher can hear me.
Hold on, I'm gonna leave.
Yeah, me, tell, tell Topher, I don't think he can hear me.
Tell Topher that I am going to leave and come back.
Oh, Topher, can you hear me?
Um, I can't tell if I'm rugging.
Can you guys leave me a...
Can you, can you hear me, can you hear me, Topher?
Or not?
Uh, I think you're rugging real bad.
Uh, can you hear me?
Uh, can you hear me?
Yo, Topher, can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you, Topher.
Are we good now?
We're good now.
I was, I was majorly rugging.
Like, I couldn't even tell if I...
Dude, Spaces does that sometimes where, like, you can't hear a speaker or, like, they can't
hear you or some shit.
It's like, it's like one way I could hear you the whole entire time there or whatever.
Spaces is just, we, bro, we need to just fire Elon, honestly, is all it is.
Oh, Elon, dude, he's gotta give us the animated PFPs, like, enough is enough.
Yeah, that's facts, bro.
It's, it's been, they used to have them and then they took them away and it's like, dude,
give me those animated PFPs back.
We have all these amazing animated collections and we can't even show them off how they really
should be.
It's honestly...
Bro, imagine the mechs, bro.
Imagine the mechs.
I know.
With the animated, dude, that, that shit would go hard.
I'm not gonna lie.
It would be crazy.
Um, dude, I gotta say, I'm not gonna say anything that would reveal anything, but I do gotta
say, if you're an Iron Paul gang holder or fan, we've got some fun stuff this week.
I'll keep it at that.
I won't, I won't elaborate, but there is some very fun stuff coming this week.
Um, from, like, pay attention to the Twitter, pay attention to the Discord.
Um, it's gonna be fun.
That's all I'll say.
I'll keep it at that.
I'm not allowed to say certain things, you know, um, but it's gonna be fun.
All right.
It's gonna be fun.
So you're gonna, you're gonna DM me the alpha afterwards, right?
I don't know.
I kind of want to keep it as a surprise, Toker.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Yo, Yemi, did you rug?
Are you back, brother?
It's all good.
He's, he's there.
He's there.
He's there in spirit.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Yo, Yemi.
Yes, Yemi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I think the network was really bad.
So I actually just leave and join back.
So, um, I can't see like, um, I see Vincent's, uh, I'm trying to just, I'm trying to get,
uh, using him again.
I see Vincent's, Vincent's Cryptolution.
Yeah.
Uh, I see he tweeted some, uh, he tweeted like, um, uh, okay, it's official.
I have now become one of the largest Odov.
I am Pogank with 30 NFT.
So it's, uh, had in my last make.
Uh, I think it's, uh, I think his makes are actually amazing.
And, uh, they do look very nice.
And, uh, so, yeah, it's really interesting.
I'm bullish on Vincent.
Vincent is absolutely bullish on the IPG.
Uh, adding his 30th, uh, you know, mech, one of the largest holders in the collection
now.
Uh, he added five today.
Uh, I pinned up to the top his thread.
He's got all of his mechs in there.
Um, well, the last five that he had today, he's been, he's been doing it piece by piece.
But yeah, this man has 30 mechs, uh, just insane traits.
And, uh, uh, it's a crazy collection to be honest.
It's, uh.
He's a Chad, dude.
Cryptolution.
Yeah, he really is.
That's, that's certified Chad levels, dude.
We, we, we almost need in the, uh, community discord, like, uh, like a, uh, a Chad role
or something like that.
Would that be kind of funny?
Yeah, it's, uh, he should get something.
Uh, I'm not dropping any alpha on myself.
Who is the top holder?
Bro, do you know who the top holder is?
Who has the most mechs?
I don't know anymore.
I know during mint or like the, the early days, you know, a couple of days or weeks
after it was like NFT, um, or D gen LA was the account at the time.
I think they sold out a lot of them.
So I'm not sure who the current holders are.
Honestly, I don't even know how to check.
I don't have an, I don't have inspector or anything anymore or not inspect, uh, God,
what's this stupid, uh, software, NFT software, uh, IC tools or anything like that to check
holder counts or who they are.
So if somebody could find out, that'd be cool.
Um, but I know Vincent's one of them, uh, but yeah, I pinned this to the top, show that
man some love.
He's, he's always here, uh, giving good, um, good takes on the show, but he, he did
DM me and tell me that he wasn't going to be able to make it today.
So it's all good.
Bro, don't you hate it when you get a call mid spaces and like it, like, hooks your mic?
It really does.
I think that's why I rugged, to be honest, the first time, because my wife called me.
Uh, I had just gotten home.
And she was like, what are you doing?
She, uh, I, yeah, I was in the car taking a second to, to get to, to get the space, right?
Cause you know how it's, you know, when you pull up home and it switches from, uh, your
three or your five G into your wifi.
So it did that and it started rugging and then she called me and it's rugging even more
and then I'm like, Oh damn, I just lost.
I hope I didn't lose the space just now.
Bro, when you go from like, uh, uh, the, the internet to the, um, to like the five G or
whatever, it, it, it, space is always bugs out.
It freaks.
It doesn't like it at all.
I, I, I thought I lost the space.
I thought I was going to have to restart.
I was like, Oh no.
So, and then, uh, but we're all good, but, uh, yeah, shout out, shout out to everybody
here.
I've been working on trying not to say, uh, so much, but today I'm just like really bad
with it, um, as I do it again, but shout out to everybody that's here listening and chatting
and inviting with us, uh, Tony O, Tokes, Morton, Tezzy, BH, Omar, Bomb Trady, Winalot,
Yeop, who's also another IPG whale, um, who's this, Coz Whit, I don't know how to say your
name, Coz, we got James, Denny, Pelon, uh, Bongo Bongo, Bongo Bango, and Taylor, uh, you're
all legends for being here on, uh, this Memorial Day, um, yeah, I'm just vibing.
I had to go to the Lowe's to get some pliers to get, um, get the, get the sprinkler going
in my yard so that my grass grows back because my dogs destroyed it with their, um, with their
waste, I'll say.
I was looking for a good word to not say, but I was actually going to say.
What's up?
Bro, you, uh, you big fan of, uh, yard work, dude?
Not really, but it's got to get done, you know, like, if I don't water the grass, then
it's going to die, and so on and so forth, I'm trying to get my yard into shape for the,
for the summer, so, uh, just been, I've been grinding it for a few weeks, honestly, and here
we are.
I got the pliers, I'm officially getting the sprinkler, brand new sprinkler set up and ready
to rock, just got to turn on the water, and we're good to go, but yeah, yard work, not,
not high on the list of things that I like to do, trust.
Bro, what is your, what is your actual, what is your favorite thing to do, Topher?
My favorite thing to do is look at NFTs and be in the NFC space and talk about it.
But, like, outside of that, but, like, outside of that, like, what do you do for fun?
Well, I do a lot of things.
I, I play basketball, I am a big fan of anime, I watch a lot of anime, I am a huge fan of
horror, horror genre in general, I watch movies, shows, play video games, all horror related,
um, not gaming as much anymore nowadays, to be honest, because I got the kid, um, and spend
time with him, watching him grow in these young days of his, but, uh, yeah, gaming was definitely
a pastime of mine, and then, yeah, just hanging out with, with the family and buddies, but those
are, like, some of my main things that I do, so, yeah, horror genre, anime, NFTs, um, basketball,
well, I also do art, as many of you know, um, digital art, always working on stuff, I, got some
things coming right now, uh, for a few different projects, um, including Genuine Undead, who I just
joined, uh, last week, so, yeah, quite a few things coming with that, sorry, I'm getting killed by my
sprinkler, um, how do I, oh no, oh no, I gotta say, dude, I'm, uh, I'm also a major hooper, dude, I played
in high school, um, and, uh, it's actually my favorite thing to do outside of, uh, outside of,
you know, this NFT stuff, I play every Sunday, um, with the, with the fellas, we play, go play
pickup every Sunday night, um, I'm also a big gamer, and I love anime, too, what's your favorite
anime, tell me that, favorite anime, Death Note, Death Note, bro, Death Note's fire, dude, I think
my favorite is probably Naruto, um, yeah, I have, Naruto's my, my number two, um, I just think the
Death Note story is one of the best, um, but yeah, in terms of, in terms of, like, a universe
that I would like to be in, or live in, or I think is the coolest, and most well-built, it's
definitely Naruto, and the whole universe.
Dude, I, I think, um, Death Note, Death Note's so good, but, like, it kind of,
it kind of falls off about, you know, three quarters of the way through, dude, in my opinion,
you know, you know what I'm talking about, I'm sure, I'm sure you've heard the discussion
before, but, yeah, towards the end, it just kind of, it kind of fell off for me, I mean,
I missed, uh, like, he, I won't, I won't spoil it for anybody that hasn't watched, I will say
this, go watch Death Note, if you haven't watched Death Note, Death Note, if you haven't
watched Death Note, and you're into anime, you're, you're effing up, yeah, that's fact,
you know what I started watching, though, um, I've actually, I've got this terrible habit
of, like, starting animes, and then not finishing them, but I started, like, there's, like, three
of them right now that I've started, and I love, four of them, actually, dude, I started
Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter's Fire, uh, it's a classic, I started, I started One Piece,
you don't like One Piece, bro, I started it, like, I watched, like, the first episode, didn't
like it, and then, like, months later, came back and watched, like, the rest of it, or,
like, like, not the rest of it, no, I'm nowhere near finishing it, but, came back and watched
more, and I was, like, yo, this is actually kind of fire.
No, listen, I watched 200 episodes of One Piece, and I was, like, this anime is extremely
slow, I cannot watch it anymore, like.
Really?
It's, it's, yeah, and just knowing how much there was to go, I was, like, nah, I'm good,
um, but, yeah, the, the thing with One Piece is, I'm sorry for nerding out in the space
here, everybody's probably, what the hell are these people talking about?
Um, the thing with One Piece is that they didn't do any fillers, so, instead of having
filler episodes that you could just skip, they just drew, they just drew out all the
fights, like, all the fights are super long and drawn out for no reason, uh, at least in
the early, the early, early, like, arcs, like, the first, like, 500, you know, episodes or
so, that's how it is, and it's, it was just too boring for me, so, I stopped watching.
Yeah, I, um, yeah, I, I'm only, like, I, I'm nowhere near 200 episodes, I think I'm
only, like, 15 or something like that, but then, the other two that I started and didn't
finish, even though I'm kind of disappointed with myself, in myself for it, um, Jujutsu
Kaisen, dude, I, I think I've got, like, three more episodes of the first season to watch,
and the movie, um, which is fire, yeah, Jujutsu Kaisen's fire, for real, um, and then Vinland
Saga.
Fire.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, we're on the same page here, uh, those are all fire, all gas, 100, 100, you, you
definitely need to finish, it's a classic, and also.
Apparently they're coming back, bro, apparently 100, 100's coming back.
It is coming back, that's what I was gonna say, you need to get on that before it, uh, comes
back.
Yeah.
You know, like, caught up in everything.
But yeah, Vinland Saga is, like, establishing itself as a new, like, up-and-coming, like,
kind of goat, if it keeps going at this rate, you know?
It's definitely good, dude, the first, I, like, wasn't, I, I was, like, so, like, super
surprised at how much I liked Vinland Saga, like, just from watching, like, I think I
watched, like, nine, ten episodes, something like that, it's just because I get busy doing
other things, really, it's not even that I stopped liking it, my friend, like, begs me to
watch with them, and I'm like, yeah, dude, I got you, like, eh.
I'm, I'm down, because I love anime, but then, it's like, I just, like, we get busy, and
we stop watching, and I'm like, ah, shoot, like.
It happens.
Yeah, dude, but, um, the other one, the one, I don't know which one to, like, focus on,
but, like, I don't know, man, I, I kind of like them all, it's kind of wild, like, and
I used to be such, like, an anti-anime guy.
Like, I used to think it was just for, like, straight, just, like, I just, yeah, I thought
it was for nerds, I was like, why does anybody like this, like, it's so, like, dramatic,
stuff like that, and then I watched it, and I was like, oh, God, like, Naruto was the
first one I watched all the way through.
Gotcha.
And, uh, it, like, changed me, bro, I'm not gonna lie, like, I never expected to cry
over a cartoon, man.
Which one made you cry?
Naruto, or what?
Yeah, Naruto, yeah, yeah, Naruto, for sure.
Um, when he, when he, uh, like, sees his mom.
Yeah, I got you.
Definitely emotional.
Yeah, that, that was, that was the toughest part.
I convert, I kind of converted my wife, she was, you know, I watched MMA for years, and
I begged her and begged her to watch Naruto, and then one day she finally did, years later,
after I was, like, legit getting mad at her, I was like, you keep saying you're gonna watch
it, and you don't, and so she's like, all right, I'll watch it, and then she got hooked
and binged the whole thing in, like, three months, and I was like, yeah, see, told you.
Yeah, that's what happens, bro, that's what happens, people literally, they start watching,
and they may watch, like, the first, I always tell people, like, you just gotta get, kind
of get past, like, the Chunin arc, or whatever, um, but then, like, yeah, well, what I'm saying
is, like, yeah, yeah, once you start the Chunin arc, I mean, on a rewatch, it's one of the
best arcs, but the first time I watched it, like, when, when Orochi Maru and the fourth
Okage are fighting, or whatever, or no, third Okage are fighting, um, like, that's so slow,
like, it just goes by a little slow, and it's, like, people get, kind of get, like, impatient,
I got a little impatient, um, but then, like, rewatching it is, like, whoa, this is way better
than I remembered. Yeah, I get it, it's totally, um, it's, it can be slow at times, but that's what,
you know, it's the sign of the age of it, you know, because it was a little older back then,
uh, you know, it's, it's, it's a little dated, but it still holds up really well, so. Yeah,
no, it does, the first arc, I really like the first, the very first fight against, uh, Zabuza
is, like, one of my favorites now, when I watch it. Yeah, it's a great, like, one thing is great,
part one is, part one is goaded, uh, it is. Well, let me bring my dog out here to go to the bathroom.
Novi, come on. But, uh, yeah, I saw Elevate pop in and pop out, that's a purebred holder,
it's probably the best anime, he's like, what, he's like, what are these nerds talking about?
He's got the X copy, bro, he's got the X copy too. I know, yeah, he's, he is looking to, um,
move that X, excuse me, he's looking to, uh, move that X copy for the right, the right offer,
he said, I believe in the, in the discord, so if you guys look in the trading channel,
I think he was there talking, um, about his X copy driver, which is insane. I would like to get it,
but I just don't want to give up, I do have, like, two top 100 mechs, but I don't, I wouldn't want to
give those two up, plus another one to get, you know, the driver, so, uh, I'll just, I'll just live
without it and live vicariously through whoever else gets it. I know one of the, one of these whales
will get it at some point, they'll give him the offer he can't refuse, because now that he has the,
uh, the pyro, you know, full purebred mech, I'm sure he's like, all right, I don't need this X copy
anymore, I got this, I got the pyro, he's fire, pun intended. Dude, so, uh, you doing anything,
like, uh, special today for, uh, Memorial Day, having a little grill out, anything like that?
No, no, nothing, nothing like that, I just, uh, been doing house chores, um, yeah, doing house chores,
looking at some NFTs early in the day, but really picked up later, had some coffee,
and just went to the Lowe's, like I said, but no, nothing, just, uh, I might do, I might grill
actually for dinner, I gotta decide what I want to do, but yeah, probably do the old, good old
fashioned burgers and dogs and beer, uh, all that good stuff, you know, full set up with, with fries,
you know, just a straight up unhealthy dinner that I love to have, because it's good, I like it,
and it's tasty. Arteries be damned, you know? Sometimes it's like that.
That's facts, dude, nah, that's facts. You feel me, Yemi?
Yeah, definitely, for sure. Yemi knows what I'm talking about.
You know, I feel like, uh, you guys are talking about, uh, some of your experiences, and, um,
what you like, and then what you don't like, you know, so, but it's all good, but for me, uh,
I'm not really, uh, someone who really, uh, love things like that. I don't know, maybe,
because, uh, just my kind of person, you know, just, uh,
I just really don't, uh, take those things, um, too, um, too serious, you know, so,
you know, it's all good. Yeah.
You guys looking into any projects lately? Uh, I know, uh, Troy, you, you are, um, tapped into
the Soul. I'm not at all, and you guys, you know, you were kind of surprised at how little
we knew about the Soul ecosystem, but I've been trying to learn, man, and I just, I want
to know. I want a freaking Klaino, but it's just too expensive.
Dude, I love the Klainos. Um, I, I feel kind of weird, I feel kind of weird talking about,
like, uh, Soul, or anything other than Iron Paul, because I'm coming from the account,
um, but just, like, any, I guess anything I say here is, like, just, you know, in turn's
opinion. It's strictly your opinion, not the official opinion of Iron Paul. Yeah, definitely
not the official opinion of Iron Paul. Yeah, disclaimer there, I guess. Um, but no, Soul
is, Soul is awesome. I mean, I see a gecko down there in the, um, in the, uh, in the listeners
cause, cause with, um, Soul's awesome. Uh, it's, it's a great, like, experience to use as
a chain. Um, and I mean, what's cool about Iron Paul is that, you know, Adam kind of started
his, like, Web 3 art stuff on Solana. Um, I don't know how many people really know about
it, but, like, you know, he did the, um, the Voxel Monkeys, uh, collection, and that
was what, you know, that, that was really the first, like, notable thing that, that, that
Adam did prior to Iron Paul, right? If, if I'm not mistaken, well, notable thing in Web
3, I should say, cause he's done plenty of other cool stuff. Um, but yeah, no, no, no.
Soul, like, like, like you mentioned, Klaino's, Klaino's are awesome. Um, I actually met the
team. I went to NFT NYC, um, and, and, and met plenty of them on the team. Um, and they
threw a great event. There are a bunch of cool events there. Um, just, yeah, I mean, like
there's, there's multiple really, really cool projects. I gotta give a shout to like Famous
Fox. They, um, they're, they have built out so many different tools that so many different
people, um, on the chain use every single day. Um, and then like, I gotta give a shout
to like Sharkify, right? They're doing, they're like the biggest, um, NFT lending platform on
Solana right now. And they've been super, super successful and I've used their product. Lots
of people use their, use their product like every single day or whatever. So those are, you
know, some like relatively, um, well-established projects on Sol. Um, definitely not shilling
anything. I'm not, I'm not saying go buy any of those NFTs or anything like that, but, um,
Sol has a really, really like great NFT ecosystem and it's still blossoming and it's still growing.
And yeah, it's just, you know, if anything, I would suggest just go check out some of the
people over there, just meet some people that are, that are predominantly Sol, maybe share
some experiences, you know, make it, build your network out. That's, that, that's my, um,
that is my advice. Always be looking to build the network and stuff. Cause, um, you never
know who you might meet in this, uh, Web3 space.
Definitely. It's, uh, this, uh, project you guys talking about, is there any new projects
or the unexisting projects? Are you saying, are you saying like, are there any new projects
coming to Solana? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. There's plenty of new projects always
coming to Solana. There's, there's, there, uh, despite what some people may say, you know,
a lot of people say that Solana is, is like a really dead chain. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That
is, that is, I gotta say, man, I like, and that's so far from the case. Um, loads of
people over on Solana are wildly active. Um, it is, I gotta say, it's just, it's straight
up, just not a dead chain. That's just not true. Um, it was literally really, what was
that, Yami? Because, um, when I, when I started NFT, I started NFT, I think, um, it's, it's,
uh, it's more than a year now. I started NFT. Uh, so I was just, you know, so I really
don't have the idea of Solana, but, you know, uh, the person, the person who actually, who
actually put me through, uh, NFT is like a friend. So he told me, you know, depends
on when you're, it's, it's more like when you're learning. So it depends on, uh, what
or the way you have been, uh, um, and that's what you're gonna see. So he told me then that
Solana is a dead chain, you know, the, there's all those people that don't flow, you know, irrespective
of how, uh, is so hyped and stuff like that. And then at the end, uh, they're just gonna
dump the flow and then just make the project, uh, uh, really, uh, look bad or something.
And then probably the best is, uh, how project that does well is always on Ethereum projects,
uh, on Ethereum blockchain rather. So then I, I, I don't, I, I don't look at, um, Solana
project at all. So I don't know, but it's not until when, um, Adam was building, uh, the
higher power. So that was when I was able to know, like, he had, uh, a project, uh, on
Solana blockchain.
Um, are you saying, wait, did you say you didn't know he had a project on Solana?
Yeah, I didn't know he had a project on Solana because like I said, uh, I wasn't into Solana.
So, but when, um, I was trying to, I was trying to get the, the white list for IRP
then. Uh, so, you know, there are some, I think there's a permit, uh, for people that
hold, uh, Vossel's, uh, uh, I can't remember the name of the project right now.
Yeah. Yeah. So he did a couple different things. There was a couple different
ways to actually get whitelist for iron Paul. Um, I remember this because most of the ways
that you got whitelist, like by holding a certain NFT were actually on Solana. So like
you got a certain amount. If you held the Voxel monkey, you got whitelist. If you held
the, um, there was a collab he did with a music artist that has a project on Solana. Um, they
were like Voxel monkey. It was an airdrop actually. Um, and then also the four by four, one of one
piece. It was an addition actually. It was, it was a one of one addition, um, that you,
that you held. And then that got you whitelist as well. Um, and so there were multiple NFTs
on Solana, but like, like I was saying, I mean, and I'm not sitting here trying to shill
anybody. It's a lot. It's, it's not my, that's not my goal here at all. I'm just saying
I, so me personally, right. Disclaimer, this is not the opinion of the iron Paul team or anything
like that. But me personally, um, like, you know, I like to check out all the different
chains. I've done stuff on Ethereum. I've done stuff on Solana. I will, I will say this.
I was predominantly Solana for the longest time. Um, and I was, I was in Solana when it
was $3. I've been in, I've been in the Solana ecosystem. I've watched it all grow. Um, it's,
it's wildly different now than it was in January, 2021 when I very first, uh, bought
some Solana. It's, it's, it's such a different user experience, but then, like I said, so I've
done stuff on Solana. I've done stuff on Ethereum. I've done stuff on Avalanche. I've done stuff
on Phantom, on Harmony One, which was an awful experience. Played DeFi Kingdoms for a little
bit. Uh, uh, I like to try out all the chains. Um, and I, I, I participate in
particularly like the chains that are not EVM, like not, you know, Ethereum virtual machine,
because I think that there's a lot of cool stuff, um, outside of, of, of like the EVMs
that is, you know, capable, um, on, on different networks. Right. I mean, you know, there's just,
there's just a lot of different pros and cons to all these different chains. And I think
that, you know, it's worthwhile to, uh, try them all out and try them all out early. So
like, I've even tried out the new SWE chain or whatever. Um, and just, yeah, that's, that's
my thing. I just, I just like to try stuff out. Um, just, I like to keep an open mind
about it. That's just how I am personally. Um, but yeah.
Well, you know, uh, well, that's, that's the best actually, you know, if you're on, if you're
on Web3 space, you just have to, you just have to, uh, try to tap into all, uh, even not,
if, if not all, like almost all the blockchain, you know, it's an experience. Like they said,
that experience is always the best teacher, you know? So if you, if you tap into a blockchain
and then you have an experience in that blockchain, definitely someone who doesn't know anything
about the blockchain, you'll be able to put the person through, you have a better idea.
Like you have an edge over the person who doesn't have, have any experience or any idea
about the blockchain. There's a lot of blockchain being launched these days. Um,
they're just, I think there's, there's a coin that came out, uh, I think today, I think
is, uh, iBit, iBit or something or whatever. So I, I, I tried to join the space and then
I had the guy saying, uh, he'd be launching like, uh, uh, a blockchain software, you know,
there are a lot of blockchain being launched, but it just depends on, uh, um, um, on how, uh,
it does, you know? So, but like I said, um, it's always good to, um, to always learn new
things, like you said. So more like me, I have no, uh, idea about Solana. I'm not sure I've
actually maintained any project or Solana, so, so, you know, so.
Yeah, I have neither of me, so don't, you're not alone there, but I'll admit I early on
got kind of caught up in that ETH echo chamber of just, you know how it is. Everyone's a maxi
for their blockchain. Um, so yeah, I was a maxi, but to say that there is not as many rugs
on ETH that there is on, you know, Sol is just like a lie. It's just everywhere. Scammers
don't really care what blockchain they're on, you know, so there's money to be made
everywhere and there's money to be lost everywhere. It's all the same. Uh, I've kind of, my mindset
has changed a lot in the past couple months. Um, I'm all for just onboarding of people onto
any blockchain whatsoever because ultimately, ultimately the normies that aren't into any
of this don't even know what a blockchain is. You just want to get them in, you know,
it doesn't really matter where we shouldn't really be, you know, I think this about projects
in general, um, within the same chain and then also within, you know, all the blockchains
competing against each other. I think we just need to be more happy to see other blockchains
and other projects on those blockchains, uh, do well and succeed and onboard people, um, and
have big projects, you know, without rugging people, um, you know, kind of move in the, in
a more general positive direction in space because without all the chains doing well
and all the, you know, a lot of the projects that come out on those chains doing well, you
know, we're just going to be stuck in this, this place where we are now, uh, not growing
and things not getting easier for people to, um, for normies to, to kind of enter the space,
you know, figuring out wallets and metamask and all that good stuff. So I just think we need
to, uh, be more open-minded. I've definitely been trying, I'm definitely trying to enter
soul, um, projects at some point. I've tried in the past to get them, but it's never did.
You know, it didn't happen. It's all good, but I'm looking forward to trying, um, a few,
you know, and, and see what happens. Uh, there's no reason to be a maxi really.
No, I, uh, I have been, so since I kind of, I actually started in, if you guys want to
know a little bit about my like crypto journey or whatever, um, I kind of started in crypto
like July, 2020. Um, and at first when I started, I was like an XRP maxi, dude, they, they, they
sucked me into the old XRP army. And, um, eventually I just kind of got tired of like price never
moving. And so I started, I was like, dude, I'm never going to be sex, like successful
if I just like focus on one thing, because that's what I started doing. Like, and now I will
be honest. I did make money on XRP because when I started buying and paying attention
to it, it was like 20 cents or something like that. So no, no skin off you back and
trust. Yeah. But like, but like, I just kind of was like, yeah, you know what? Like I'm
never going to be as successful as I can. If I don't try new things, I was like, obviously
like there's money being made everywhere else. And I am like holding onto this idea that
like I'm right. And instead of just being like, okay, there's a chance that I might
be wrong. I should check everything out. And at the time my kind of goal was like, I,
I, I, I'm a big like narrative guy when it comes to like, uh, when it comes to this crypto
stuff, I'm a big narrative guy. If like, there's a narrative behind something, I think
that a lot of times it will be, you know, it'll succeed. Um, especially when it comes to like
coins and stuff like that. Um, and so at the time I could tell, and first of all, I
was priced out of Ethereum. I would, I wanted to do stuff on Ethereum, but I just simply
couldn't afford it. Like truthfully, I literally could not afford the gas fees. It was, it was
like right. DeFi summer. So like these were just crazy. Right. I simply could not afford
it. So I was like, okay, I'm not alone in this. I was like, I'm not the only new person
to crypto that's trying to do things on smart contracts that doesn't have money for
it. So I said, so the biggest narrative this year, I was like, the biggest narrative
right now is to find an alternative to ETH. I was like, okay, so, so what is that? And
maybe, and not even saying that anything is going to overtake ETH. I'm not making any
statements like that. All I'm saying is people were looking for a chain to do things on that
was not Ethereum and that they could afford. And so I was like, okay, yeah. And that's
when I looked into soul and stuff. And then after I made some money on soul or whatever,
that's when I kind of started like branching out and I did try some stuff on ETH and I've
used, like I said, like I found Avalanche as well. Avalanche has super low fees, stuff
like that. Right. So I was just kind of branching out and that's like, so I've always kind of
like, except for like that first, maybe three, four months that I was in like crypto web three
scene. I've always kind of tried to keep like an open mind and like when something is
brand new, like don't sit there and like, it's so easy to just like see something brand
new and immediately, and you see this even when you look at it from like a worldwide perspective,
right? If we look at it globally, crypto is still the shiny new thing. And what is the number
one thing that people always say about it? Oh, this, this is a scam. This is a scam. Like
crypto is a scam. NFTs are a scam. NFTs are the bane of that conversation, right? Like
they're so new. NFTs like in the grand scheme of things are brand new, right? And it's so easy for
people to just label them a scam because all of the scams get so much publicity and stuff, right?
But it's like, no, if you're willing to like actually look into the NFT scene, you'll learn,
okay. Yeah. Some of them are definitely scams, but then you've got other projects that are actually
doing something meaningful or, or are a good opportunity to, um, to get into. And even if
you don't make money off of it, right? A lot of times you can find a lot of value in just meeting
people in the space and building your network. Like I was talking about earlier. So it's like,
I always try to keep an open mind and try to like, not just like, you know, trash something just
because it's new, because I mean, that's, that's ultimately what we're trying to get
everybody in the world to not do about web three. So that's kind of my thought process on it.
Yeah. I love it, man. And yeah, I just, you know, I think just more open-mindedness in the space
could go a long way, uh, to pushing us all forward. Um, you know, a rising tide lifts all ships and all
that good stuff.
So guys, can you hear me?
Yeah, we can hear you. I mean, what's up?
Oh, sorry. Yeah. I had a call. I'm sorry, guys.
No worries, brother.
Okay. Yeah. So, um, just please give me a second.
Yeah, you're good, man. Um, yeah, I'm looking forward to trying some Solana projects. Uh,
definitely trying to get a Klaino. I got to make some money here on ETH first and then I'll,
I'll ape in over there. Cause what's the, what's the Klaino for? Like a hundred Sol or something
crazy like that?
No, I think right now it's, uh, let me, I can actually chat real quick. It is, you know,
tensor dot trade here. Um, the, no, the, uh, I think it's not even one ETH. If you want
the truth, it is, it is, it's 64.9 Sol, which, uh, yeah, 64.9 Sol. No, no, no, it's 61. I don't
know why it should 64. That's weird. It is 64. I don't know. It bounces between, it's been
bouncing between that. I think it's high. It's all time high was a hundred Sol, but, um, you can
also, I don't know if you guys know this, there's a website, um, just specifically for Sol, right?
You can go to SolSniper.xyz and you can, you can actually look at all the NFTs priced in
ETH on that, on that. That's pretty cool. Yeah. That would help a lot. Yeah. Yeah. You
can price it. I gotta go when it's on Sol. I'm like, damn, I gotta go. I gotta do calculations
and then convert that back to ETH. I'm like, how much is ETH is this? Yeah. No. So like
mad lads, you can just go to SolSniper and then go to the collection. It'll pull up like a
chart of, uh, and, and I will say this, the one thing that I haven't seen on ETH that like,
and maybe I'm just missing the tool. Maybe somebody can point me in the direction of
the tool because I want to assume ETH has this, but charting for NFTs, like, like having
actual charts that like show you the price, just like an alt coin or whatever. Um, I don't
know what the tool is to do it on ETH, but on Sol, there's several of them and you can just
look at the chart. Like, yeah. So like, uh, right now mad lads are, um, I think they have
the highest floor on Sol right now and they're, they're 0.88 ETH. Okay. Yeah. I know mad lads
was a, a recent Solana project that took off and everybody was tweeting about. Yeah. And
then Klaino's, Klaino's right now are 0.7 ETH. No, that's not bad at all. Yeah. I, I really
like Klaino's, um, and they're just the way they, they run things over there. I think they're,
they're doing IP correctly. And, uh, obviously a lot of other projects are kind of mimicking
and the way that they're going about it. So, uh, joining projects of, uh, innovators.
Yeah. I'm saying innovation, baby. What's up, Yemi? I'm Rogan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm
good. I'm good. I'm good. Yeah. So, um, sorry. I had a call before. So, um, my pick on, uh,
what, um, I hope I'll say about, uh, trying other blockchain and, um, um, projects, projects
and other blockchain is like, you know, I feel like general mindset of, of so many, so
many people, uh, that are, that are aping to NFT. Like, you know, let's see, like, if, if
you, if you have a project on, on Ethereum, I don't know, like, I really don't understand
how this space has been designed. If you have a, if you have a project that you're minted
on Ethereum, like, let's say if you have a 0.01, uh, uh, let's see that as a floor price,
0.01, I think that's around $18 or $17 or 30 parts now. And, you know, if it's another
blockchain, like, let's say, like, Solana or maybe, uh, that blockchain where you don't,
where you don't, where the gas fee is not much or something like that, like, before you
can, before you can, before you can, before you can mint a project that is going on, is
going to do that amount of money. It's going to be going close to like, let's say, like,
like an alpha project. Uh, I feel like, and another thing about Solana project is like,
it's just, um, a few projects that gets to like, do well so much, like their floor price
will be very, very high. And, but I think one good thing again about Solana is every day
there's always a project that pumps and dumps, irrespective. And, um, the best is for you
to be able to recognize before you be able to get the right producers, you know, that's
going to pump because I have some, some guys here in Nigeria, but I think, uh, most people
that do, um, Solana, they are really like DGN, like that, like their DGN, uh, they just
want to help them into a project, like, okay, make their profits. And then, uh, and then,
uh, just, you know, just, uh, once the floor price pumps, they sell and then, uh, they just
stop out. And I don't know. So, uh, well, that's, that's the way I see, uh, it, uh, uh,
about the whole thing. I don't know if I'm right or wrong.
I don't know. Um, Mr. IPG over here can probably speak to that more than me, but, um, I, I am,
uh, I know Adam spoke about possibly doing the other factions on a different blockchain,
you know, cause he's obviously a Solana native. So I think that would be awesome. Like that's
like, that's exactly what I'm talking about. We need, you know, people that are established
kind of pushing everybody to, um, try different things. Uh, cause you know, now everybody that
is on the ETH chain here with IPG and like me who may not have had experience over there
is now we're going to follow IPG over there. If, if it does, you know, in fact, go for the
next faction to, to Solana or any other blockchain, um, that would be awesome. You know, that I think
that's the kind of thing we need. Nine, welcome to the stage. Hello, hello, hello. Hello.
How are you, sir? How is everybody on this fine Memorial Mech Monday? Very, very good.
Good to hear. Good to hear. Doing well. I'm doing well. It's a iron boy, Troy over there. I see
you. Good shit. I've been working, I've been working on the catchphrase for you. I'm still,
it's still, you know, I'm still working on it. We're still spitballing, but you know, but, um,
I was touching on the, the whole blockchain thing and whatnot that, that Yemi was, that just
mentioned, um, what you described for people that are, are more so on the Solana blockchain
and whatnot. You described the NFT space, my man, like not even just Solana, but the majority
of people in NFTs do what you just described. They come into a project, they flip it for
a profit and they eat themselves out of it and they move on to the next one. So the important
thing to do is to find the right people for the community and, and just focus and, and make
sure they feel valued and just, you know, keep that community together.
Yeah. That's the thing. It's like, it's not, it's not any one blockchain that you find. It's
the same people all over the place. And if it's not the same exact people, it's people with
the same mindset. It's not, there's not, like I said, there's not more scams. There's not
more DGens. There's not more quick flippers. They're just, it's just the NFT mindset, uh,
in space and whole, like you said, it's not limited to any one chain.
It's what you, I guess you came up with, right? Like you, if you started in Solana, then you
feel more comfortable in Solana. If you started in ETH, you're more comfortable in ETH. Um,
and now we're starting to see this, this Bitcoin meta popping up, which I don't understand really
at all, but you know, we're starting to see, I'm sure there's gonna be some people that
start off in that and that's going to be their comfort zone. But, um, wherever the case
may be, it's just important to kind of expand and spread your wings and maximize your exposure
to all this stuff. If, if that's what you're looking to do.
Yeah, I think, um, I think there's a lot to be said. I gotta say like, as somebody who,
um, is like I was talking about earlier, I like to try chains very, very early. A lot of times it's
very difficult to get money on those chains that you want to try. Um, but what I've also found
is that the harder it is to do something in this space, like bridging to a new chain or something
like that, the earlier you are. Um, and a lot of times the earlier you are, the, if you, if you're
here to make money, then the more money you're going to make because you're earlier than others,
right? It's, it's, it's like, uh, I don't know. A lot of times you're definitely a reward. Like,
okay. Take a look at, um, Arbitrum, right? Take a look at Arbitrum. Arbitrum did a massive
airdrop for people that were using the chain way before they ever said they were going to do an
airdrop. Now people were speculating on that and stuff, but you know, people that used Arbitrum
earlier, I missed out on that. And I feel like a clown for that personally, because Arbitrum
is one that I just never used before. I used a lot of other ones very early, but I never used
Arbitrum and I missed out on free money. I mean, literally free money. I mean, I think
that, I think that airdrop ended up being something like, uh, it made people five figures just for
free. And it's like, dude, like the space rewards curiosity, I think is the number one
thing to remember. Yeah, for sure. But I'm sure the five figure winners there probably did
a decent amount of volume, uh, to get that sort of reward. Um, yeah, that's true. That's
true. A lot of people, a lot of people I know were just, uh, were just like swapping, like
even if you were doing like stable swaps, right? Like you, you swapped out, like there are ways
to find and there are, there are threads you can find on like farming airdrops and stuff
like that where you're doing it like the best. But I mean, even if you did just bridge
over, do a couple of transactions, um, something like that, you know, you got free money and
free money is free money. Whether it was five figures or, or four or whatever it was, right?
Whatever it was. All about them one figures, man. Let me get that four bucks. Let me get
that four bucks. I'll take four bucks. That's like a, well, I mean, that's, it's, it's, it's
like a hamburger now. I mean, Donald's flipping for that. Hey, that's a hamburger. I wouldn't
have that four bucks, bro. Let me get it. Exactly, dude. That's, that's your next meal,
bro. For free. Just for the, thank you, Arbitrum or what the fuck you just said.
But, but you know, you know, but you know, the truth is, uh, the truth is, uh, you know,
it's, it's literally not everybody that's on a space that have a full idea of, uh, um, the
whole thing. Just like what, um, nice is him. I don't know if I pronounce your name well.
So you got it like right off. You got it. Yeah. So, you know, you know, depends on like
what I said from when I started talking, like depends on who, what you have been educated
on, on this NFT space, you know, all, all about crypto, like cryptocurrency, like even
as it is right now, there are some people like, all they know about cryptocurrency, it's
just Forex. They don't know NFT. When you talk to them about NFT, they'll be like, what's
NFT? Like, you know, all they know is just, uh, Forex, all they know is just like, just
to, there are some, there are some people in this space, all they know is just how to
trade on Binance, how to trade futures and that about, you know? So, uh, it's just, uh,
it's just a white space where, uh, you literally can't catch up. That's one thing I do. I do
just, just, uh, relax my mind with that irrespective of how you just want to work yourself so much.
So hard out to you, you can't really catch on, you know? So at times when there's an airdrop
like that, I really don't, I feel bad. It's a normal thing for normal human feeling. But
then at the same time, I just feel like, oh, it's a very white space here. You really can't,
uh, uh, catch up with all. So, yeah. So.
And there's plenty of them like, or there's 2021 with, uh, with SOS and, and looks for
looks rare and all that stuff. That was free money. Uh, got a couple of grand here and there
from it. And it just kind of happened. I didn't do it in preparation. It was like, Hey, did you do
this stuff? And for the most part, you know, the majority of the space got a decent chunk of change
for free, just for, for doing things. And they, they kind of use that as a marketing tool to bring
awareness, um, to their platform, right? Cause looks rare didn't exist. Um, and that's how
they introduced themselves and everybody got free money. And then people started using it a little
bit. And, um, you know, you're starting to see it a little bit here and there with X2, Y2 and some
other platforms. But again, it's, it's kind of impossible to catch. Like if, unless you're like
really dedicated to hunting those things down and sometimes it just pops up and you get free money
and, you know, to win, but the main important thing to, to do is just really enjoy yourself
and, you know, don't lose control of, of your spending and just be smart. Yeah. There's
nothing you can do. You can't, you can't catch everything. You're going to miss out. It's
bound to happen. I missed out on every airdrop known to man. I got, I got, um, like second
the, uh, the gem, uh, the open C, uh, because I was using a ton of, uh, Oh, what'd you call
it back in the day? Uh, I remember when you have a few of them, right? I had like seven
and I sold them all. But that's the only thing I ever got for free in the space because
I missed all the other airdrops, but I was using a ton of, uh, of gem XYZ when I first
started trading. Yeah. You just, you know, so I just, you know, I got lucky on that one
thing where other people missed and they got lucky where I missed and this is how it
goes. That's the name of the game. It just happens, man. And it's really just a plus
don't, you know, if anything, you didn't lose anything if you didn't do it. It's not
like, you know, something got pulled out of your pockets, but it was only a gain. And
you know, if you got it, great. If you didn't, you'll probably get another one
somewhere. That's right. There's always the next one. If you sit there and focus on
what you lost, you're going to miss the next one while you're sitting and wallowing in
your, in your loss there, even though you didn't really lose it.
Definitely. Definitely. That's just, that's just the screen, you know?
So this piece is very funny whereby, um, someone can just sleep and just wake up and
just decide to just, uh, just use anything. And then the next thing, you just see people
getting a drop here and there. It's very funny. I asked, excuse me, I asked Tonyu the last
time I asked him, um, when the way, can you guys hear me?
Did you run brother?
Did we lose him?
Yeah, I think, I think, yeah. Okay. So, yeah. So, uh, I think I asked Tonyu the, uh, the last
time when they were doing, uh, uh, the, uh, sweet headroom and it was like, uh, Oh, I think,
uh, um, um, they need to use, uh, uh, uh, VPN or stuff like that. I, you know, some of
the guys on the discord was like, what's you, what's sweet, what's sweet, what's like, they've
never heard of that, you know? So there are a couple of guys that I know like, okay, that
they've been, they've been swapping, they've been bridging, they've been trying to do the
test nets and so many stuff like that. But, uh, you know, at the end, when, uh, sweet
was going to do his headroom, its requirement was just that you should be in the discord
or not before. I think if I'm correct, I think, uh, maybe, uh, this is, I think it did
around March, uh, you must be there or not before that day, you know? And then there are
a lot of people that probably maybe they were just swapping and then just bridging and then
they never cared even joining their discord, you know? So, and they were totally disqualified
and it's, it's, it's, it's a lot of work, you know, swapping, trying to get, uh, test
nets coin and, uh, stuff like that. And then at the end, uh, when the project or let's say
the blockchain is going to do the airdrop, it's just going to come with something you're
doing from, you don't even think of like, let's say just a little thing you're, so, you
know, it's, it's just a very, very wide space where you can't even get up. So, you know,
the best is just, you just have to try your best and, uh, uh, uh, you know, let's, uh,
keep moving. Yeah.
All right. So I got a question for Adam. When Iron Paw token.
Bro, Adam's not here though.
I know. I'm just, that's what I'm saying. I'm just trolling. Uh, when Iron Paw token,
we need free airdrop. Wednesday. Oh, this Wednesday? Is that, is that the fun stuff
that we're talking about, uh, at Troy? Is that, is that the fun stuff? Iron Paw token?
No, that is not the fun stuff. Are you sure? I am positive. That's not what you said in
the chat. Oh no.
Wednesday at 7pm EST.
I'm about to expose you. I'm posting up the screenshots right now.
I'm actually joking. Don't, don't go off of me. I'm trolling.
You know, you know what, Tufa, I was going to talk about it. Like, let's see if you,
if you, if we were having any space for, uh,
invisible friends, like I was going to talk about, like, um, is the team looking at, uh,
uh, making a token or something? Literally almost all, uh,
the projects are pushing into making a token right now. When you wake up every day, you'll see
a different, uh, uh, token, you know?
I doubt it. They would do that.
The invisible event. So these art projects are looking into dropping tokens because that's just bogus.
It's kind of the opposite of what they are.
Exactly. It doesn't make any sense for the project. The holders just want free money. Like they literally,
I see every art server I'm in where it's like an art focused project. Like just drop a token,
just make it happen. Like, dude, why? How is it going to make you money? You know,
it's just, it's just people asking for free money. It's not meant to happen. It's not for every project.
So, stop asking.
It's really crazy. Yeah. So, so, Tufa,
let's say, um, you asked, uh, what project am I looking at for? You know, right, right now, you know,
since I joined, uh, if I'm like, I, I joined, um, through the Iron Power. So, well, I was, uh,
I wasn't able to get it then. And then, uh, probably, I think we didn't, we didn't really talk that much
in the discord, uh, unlike Tonyo and, uh, others. Uh, so, but it's all great, but, uh, uh,
definitely, I know, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's a very, very loving community.
Uh, uh, it's a welcoming one. So, uh, it's a great one. So let's see how it goes. Uh, I believe, uh,
probably, uh, I can get to, uh, meet my garbage friends. Uh, I don't have, I don't have the rule
yet, but I believe them. So, it's so good. Yeah. So, yeah.
Oh, yeah, man. I'm, uh, excited for garbage friends. Got me an ooze myself holding onto that ooze.
Um, I should have, I should have sold it and bought back in for the cheap. I knew it was gonna
take a little bit of a dip just because it's NFTs and that's what happens. I could have probably
extracted a .2 out of it, but it's all good. Um, yeah, excited for that and excited for the future
of IPG. Um, I appreciate you guys all coming up. I'm probably gonna end it here. Um, usually
I don't go this late, but the conversation is picked up later, um, after Iron Paul and 9 up. Um,
thank you guys for coming on stage and chatting with us because nobody wants to hear me talk for that
long. I truly, I truly believe it. I absolutely agree. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very self-aware, I know.
No, we love Tover. Big fan. But no, yeah. We love you 9, man. Uh, Troy, GG, man. I know you gotta go,
so thank you for coming up. Bro. Thank you for bringing the vibes as always. Um, and to everybody
who toughed out the early part of this space, this was a rough one, didn't have music, didn't have
conversations. So I appreciate you all for hanging around, but we got it going. And, uh, yeah,
that's episode six onto episode, uh, number seven next week. Uh, lucky number seven. I'll try to make
it. Number seven. Yes, sir. Try to make it a banner. Try to pick up some of that magic we had last week.
Um, but yeah, it's been fun. I like kind of like the, um, I kind of like this chill and kind of chat
about whatever space as well as the IPG super forward space. So, you know, they both have their
pros and cons. Next space, Topher is, uh, he's showing the plans that he did for this gazebo that
he mentioned yesterday. It's going to be really, really cool. It's going to be available for events,
rock events. I was like, call me for any bookings and I'll, I'll take care of you. This man wants me
building, you know, whatever he wants me building out the entire Home Depot, basically. He's just
go there. I'm like, nah, dude, I'm not doing anything like that. You got me. I'm not the one.
I think, um, I think, um, Tony has been busy probably as a walk and I noticed, um, I didn't see, uh,
Blondie. Oh, I didn't check her page yet. You guys, you guys spoke to her or something.
What's that? Yeah, I'm pretty sure Tony was at work. Shout out to Tonyo.
Tonyo and his, uh, giant jar of pickles. Super into those things.
GM, Tonyo! My bro!
Yo, yeah, I mean, if Tonyo's in there, he says hi to Tonyo, even if he's not on stage. He's like, yo, Tonyo, what's up?
Yeah, I see you, bro. I see your emoji, bro. Come speak to us, bro.
Yo, speak to us, bro.
But yeah, guys, that's it. I'm going to call it here. Um, I'm not even going to play us out. Oh, wait, Tonyo's coming up. I can't end it now. Shit.
Hey, well, I got to jump.
Here we go.
Yeah, Troy, I know you got to go, so it's all good.
To check if you want me to speak on here.
Hey, y'all have a good, y'all have a good Memorial Day, all right?
Dude, I appreciate you coming up.
I love you, Topher. Keep it up.
Thanks, man, yeah.
Dude, Tonyo, I appreciate you coming up, man. You came up just to say that to me.
Yeah, I come up here to tell you to keep up the good work, keep holding us down, uh, IPG gang.
Hell yeah, baby. I miss my guy, Tonyo.
Come on, Tonyo.
Come on, Tonyo.
What up, nine? I miss you, too, nine. Tall ass, boy.
I miss you and your pickles, bro. You're always talking about them.
Hey, yo.
Those tiny bastards, and I'm trying to have some, but I haven't been able to enjoy the Texas best,
but, you know, we'll figure it out someday.
Yeah, please figure that out.
Hey, yo, what are these pickles I'm hearing about?
That's the man.
Can you guys hear me?
Pickle alpha.
That's an alpha?
I can hear you hear me.
Oh, that's an alpha right there, I guess.
Good, Tonyo.
Thank you for coming up at the last moment, you know, guy.
I appreciate you.
Yeah, I'll catch you guys next week.
This has been IPG Mech Motherfucking Monday.
Everybody drive home safe.
That's right.
Drive the mechs home safe.
Take them home.
Put them in the garage.
Put some WD-40 on those joints.
You know, you got to keep them tip-top shape.
You don't want your little arms or your weapons freezing up on you in the middle of the battlefield,
because that could spell your end.
All right, guys.
Adios.
Adios.
That's the bell.
That's my dog.
I love you.
Thanks for joining the family of Japan.
All right.
I'm going to be here.
