Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. hey what's up guys hey bonkyo bonkyo ceo
let's test your mic and make sure it works first off check check what's going on y'all how we doing
you must you have a professional mic it sounds like no just the steel series
yeah well i'm just using airpods so i sound like you sound like you're actually a streamer or do
spaces a lot perfect well let's give it a couple minutes while people get in here. So if you're new to
this, so this is episode eight. What's up, Bonk Intern? So starting, I don't know how long ago we
started. I'm bad at math. But I think for the past three, this is week number four. Bonk Intern and
I have been doing spaces every week. It started out twice a week and now we're moving it to three times per week.
So it's going to be Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Fridays is going to be mostly Chinese community focused.
Monday, Wednesday can be too if they stay up late.
But it's basically a review of the Bonk kind of ecosystem and introducing a few Bonk PVE communities that will kind of interview each week.
Sometimes it's just one, sometimes it's multiple.
And then my favorite part is just leaving open mic at the very end to hear about people's
tokens.
So it's how I learn more.
It's how I kind of buy some more and try to feed back into the bonk eco.
But I'm Harrow.
I've been doing, I've been in the space since 2016.
I'm 16o I've been doing I've been in the space since 2016. I'm 16 years old so I guess
since I was eight years old or nine years old I'm again bad at math but big fan of Bonkiko
really love the current meta and where things are heading so excited to talk with Bonkio today
so the kind of format of this is going to be kind of AMA style. I'm going to go over a series of questions,
do some retarded takes as well,
and bad jokes and commentary,
and then Bonkio will reply.
So Bonkio, I'll turn it over to you.
Thanks for being here today, man.
Yeah, I appreciate you having me up on the spaces.
I too, obviously, love the Bonk Eco and love to hear about the
other things going on within. So I'm happy to be here and share more a little bit about ourselves.
Awesome. So maybe, so this is Bonk Yo CEO, right? Yeah. So let's start with maybe a quick intro.
CEO right yeah so let's let's start with maybe a quick intro so first off your original account
got suspended right did you ever get that reinstated we did not no oh dang it isn't that
the worst yeah uh x sort of sucks especially when you build something and it's like you can't have
it back for no apparent reason I um I had my account suspended by a k an angry k-pop
mob because i said something about some k-pop video and it got mass reported um and i didn't
get my account back for like eight months so like at the end of that cycle which sucked pretty bad
so whenever you create a new account it seems like it just gets banned again over and over again
like that's what happened to whenever mitch tries to get a new account it just doesn't work so
hopefully hopefully one day it comes back but it's it's pretty pretty seldom it does um so maybe to
start off if you could maybe give us a little background on yourself and then we'll kind of
dive into more bonkyo bonkyo team if you created it, if it's CTO, what it is, things like that.
But maybe first off, background about yourself.
For sure. So I was surprised to hear you're 16, just to start.
I don't know if you're just joking or not, but maybe I took that wrong.
I'm 17 next month.
Okay, so I'm 27.
I got in crypto early 2021, really due to the NFT mania phase.
That was my first exposure to crypto.
You know, I had a friend when I was in college that said he made all this money and it sort of brought me to the space.
And, you know, that's what attracted me.
But then I soon came to realize, like, this is the obvious future with digitalization of everything.
You know, it's only a matter of time before we get digital crypto assets, everything on
the blockchain or even just on digital.
We have a little bit of resistance to it because of the old world ways, but obviously we'll get there.
But I believe in NFTs in the long term, just based on not like, you know, all monkey pictures are going to make it, but the use case for it is there.
So that's really what brought me to the space. And that is one of the reasons why I think I made Bonkio in the way it is, is because of my love for NFTs.
in the way it is is because of my love for nfts i love that what's uh so i was pretty
big into nfts i i i ultimately bought high and sold low and then they ripped up pretty high again
i was part of an nft community for three and a half years called anata on um on ethereum and
it would have been great if if we didn't distribute the treasury to holders and we
continued that project because now we're in a content uh meta where streamers are coming and
that's was all around streamers and content creators but anyways tangent what uh what was
the what was the first nfts that you bought and do you still hold them or did you round trip them or
what um so i would say the first big n, because I had a few little amongst the start,
but my big NFT start that really jumpstarted my portfolio was Hape. I was an OG in Hape.
I got them. They were at like eight, nine ETH. I sold both of them. And that's really what jumpstarted my trading journey and
flipped around there.
Was big into Kaiju Kings.
I loved the Kaiju community.
But yeah, I would say Hape was my
start to my journey.
And then in the end
I think I round tripped
most of it because I am a sucker
for a community.
Shout out the Kaiju Kings.
Shout out Dots.
But yeah, what about you?
That's the perfect.
So you're the perfect founder then.
If you're good at round tripping like me,
that means you care too much about your holders and your community to dump on them.
Unless it's at the low, right?
If I'm going to sell something,
I have to wait until it goes to the bottom bottom,
and then I'll sell it,
and then I'll be the bottom that the coin needs
to then teleport back to 5,000x and die.
My first NFTs, though,
I think it was this...
So there was two mints.
He had to grind for whitelist with nfts right so i
was there's this one called cereal club and then there's this one called froyo verse and tubby cats
yeah so i drew a tubby cat and i think i ended up spending like 15 eth on a tubby sold it for like
less than an eth anyway that's the story of many of mine.
Penguins, Tubby's, Anatas, etc.
Just spending way too much ETH.
And then my latest entry into NFTs,
which was in NFTs, was like Fantasy Top.
Spending an absurd amount of ETH
on trading cards that are liquid.
But again, it's fun.
I met a lot of people,
a lot of other like-minded retards like myself, which is great.
So Fonkyo, is it a PF collection and a token, or is it just a PFP collection?
It's both.
It has the PFP asset, and it has the meme coin asset.
So obviously right now, we're in a little bit more of a token
economy i know some people are like nfts are dead this that i refuse to believe it um when we launched
bonkio it is some of the most volume solana has seen in nfts all year um and it was a crazy week for us but um it's a it's both an nft and a meme coin
so it has the double-ended exposure you know no that's sick i didn't know that i was a pfp so
it's on magic eden let me look it up real quick so what does tell me a little bit about the
is the coin at all tied to the pfp or is it just
like kind of marketing exposure back and forth or how does it work with like funds from the pfp to
the coin um it's sort of just back and forth uh like seesaw exposure nft goes up coin can go up vice versa we've used all of our uh fees generated through bank fun um to do buybacks
as well as sweeps so i guess that's a good time to mention this we do have an nft to give away
for the spaces if you go to the bankio page there is a post up, like, retweet, comment, follow us.
And then at the end of this, when everyone's up shilling their coins,
we'll run a giveaway and one person will walk away with an NFT.
They're like half a soul right now.
Yeah, that's sick.
That's really good.
All right.
So I was going to do this last week.
Turn on.
Do you know how to pin something to the chat um i'm gonna go with you
because you uh you have a professional mic so you must have a good let's see if you post didn't leave
i muted someone on accident i want to go as your post to the top and i accidentally muted this
person in the chat so
i'll mute that anyway i'll figure it out but that's awesome so you're giving away an nft
we'll remind people of it um i also want to remind people comment below so i want to see what what
gives me the most conviction with the bonk tokens or any token in general is to see what communities
show up and are posting day in day out like who who the actual bag workers are. So we'll check the comments every so often in this.
Any token, I don't even care if it's a Bonk token or not, you can talk about your favorite token.
I support anyone's bags going up, it doesn't really matter what it is.
But if you do have a question for Bonkio too, just shout it out in the comment and we'll ask it throughout it.
Unless it's too retarded of a question, then we'll probably pass and give that one to bonk intern instead so sounds like you've
been in the the space for a while you started with the nft craze which i think was probably one of the
most fun um i totally agree with you it was so much about community um and that's where i kind
of see meme coins at right now is it's like the first or i
guess second wave of actual community building where people want to be a part of it because
they want to be a part of that culture and group and we didn't have that since since nfts even og
memes didn't really have that so what uh what made you decide to start bonkyo so it sounds like you
created it is it so a two-part question what made you decide to start itkio? So it sounds like you created it. Is it a two-part question? What made you
decide to start it? And is it a decently sized team involved? Is it just you? What does that look
like? So I decided to launch Bonkio because one for my love of NFTs, but I felt that there was a missing piece in Bonk Eco.
It was inspired by Milady's, Retardio's, Hypeio's, and all of that, but not exactly a direct
derivative.
I felt that the cult community profile vibes involved directly with the bonk ecosystem would be
something cool to where people could rep a profile picture right so one thing you just mentioned when
raiding is showing a presence and as you can see in the audience of the spaces you have all of
these different bonky opfps sitting here listening so shout out to all of these different Bonk EOPFPs sitting here listening.
So shout out to all of our guys out there.
We've got a lot of love from the Bonk team that we can talk about in a little.
We've had some guys change their profile pictures, but our traits are referenced to all different
Bonk subcultures and current events like we have Annie we have the
WeChat Doge we have Hoysico we have Tom's Helmet we have countless odes to the bonk ecosystem so it
was more just for like a fun cultural relevance to tie in to the bonk ecosystem yeah that's like i i don't there isn't any other nfts on the bonk ecosystem
is there no and that is exactly what brought me to the the decision to launch right like
it felt like there was a missing bit and and like i've mentioned it's it's like make NFTs fun again, because you have the meme coin, which I like, you know, but I have this love for NFTs, which I think launching side by side allowed for a really cool, you know product i mean there's been a few others in the past that have launched like that like
ticker bitcoin harry potter sonic obama taninu uh what a mouthful but uh sprodo gremlins they were
one of the first to do it and launch their own official nft and i mean those went crazy right
and it added all this exposure and you see these sprodos on the timeline
there's still people that rock the sprodo on the timeline there i mean that and then the derivatives came up of the solana and uh i mean there's all the derivatives like soul eth etc
with hpos type of um naming but now now i guess my next question is are you going to dress up as a
bonkyo in real life like the sproto dude that would dress up and do crazy shit shit every day
i mean bro halloween's next month i mean if you really want to pump the token that's probably the
next next move i think so if you want to announce that happening on this space i think people would
be appreciative you know what imagine we get people to dress up or have like a halloween costume contest for for some bonkyo coin or or
some nfts yeah like i i keep i kept saying it wrong too bonkyo i kept on calling it bonkyo
but bonkyo i like that well well it's it's both ways but the way that we interpreted it was like
bonk yo like i know i know people have been like saying like bonk yo but like the way that we
made it it was supposed to be like bonk yo yeah no i like it so um team size and everything, is it just you or do you have a group helping you out?
So I have one other friend that helped me launch the dev.
So he does all the back end sort of things and helps out with the socials a little bit.
And then we have an artist that we've known for a few years that just helps us crank out this uh high quality stuff you know we've we've
been we we have these three c's that we live by um in bonkio and we do these weekly spaces every
week to try to get the community together and you know it's it's a little difficult when you're on
a downtrend to get people to continue to like engage. People only like things when number go up.
It's baffling, right? It's been a crazy past week too, because we did our spaces yesterday and it
went really like we were planning on doing it really short and it went really well and ended
up staying for long because everyone started sort of showing up again. But we live by community,
consistency and content, right? So regardless of where the price is at, we're still sitting here engaging,
sitting here posting content every day.
And I think that in the end, the work ethic and overall community will,
you know, emerge and succeed.
As you've seen with a lot of these Bonk tokens, like, I mean,
I know you're a big fan of Sendit.
Like, look at that chart, dude.
Hopefully that means look at it it looks really good jesus christ what happened good god you have you have tokens that finally bought them out and those
are the ones that you want to pay attention to the ones that have been here for the long run and sustain the, you know, weather the storm
and curve back up to go towards new all-time highs. Yeah, I think people's targets are too
low across the board because, I mean, in 21, right, you had many 30, 50 billion runners,
and now everyone thinks the magic number has to be 1 billion. It can be way above that.
Screw 21.
Like a year ago, people were calling for 50, 100 billion,
and now people aren't even talking about going to a billion anymore.
So I don't know whether it's the sideline super cycle or what.
Where did all that energy go?
I'm in these group chats, and people are calling, yeah, this one could run to 200k.
And it was like, some of these are new that I went into and this was a couple months ago. And I was like,
good God, how are you trying to target this is going to 200k?
What kind of money are you playing with here? Is that like
a $5 buy and selling it for $10 later on? I don't get it.
But yeah, people need to raise their targets i think um so what what about uh so why did you decide to launch this on bonk instead of
like pump or bags or i guess bags makes sense why you wouldn't want to launch there but why not like
pump well i mean i think it's pretty obvious why we wouldn't launch anywhere else. You like the color orange?
Yeah.
I'm just kidding.
No, so, I mean, we launched Bonkio because of not only, like, to fill that gap,
but our respect and love for the Bonk eco and their ethos right um pump as we've seen recently has swapped
a little bit more towards like ccm um and other sort of things where bonk has stuck true and and
is now like branching with world liberty financial and usd1 but um i i think people fail to remember two years ago what, I mean, it was a little over
two years ago, but right when the FTX crash happened, Bonk stayed around. Bonk never went
anywhere. They continued building. And then if you were here about two years ago, when MemeCoin
started heating back up again, we had Bonk leading the charge. We had the Solana phone, Bonk airdrop.
Everyone went crazy.
The Bonk airdrop was not worth all that much when they first did it.
Then all of a sudden, Bonk goes on this crazy run.
Whiff goes on a run.
Those times were beautiful, right?
So, I mean, they've proven their staying power with how, like, the OG Solana community supports them.
And then now we've got to the point where we've got World of Living Financial, we've got the NASDAQ listings, all of that.
I think that aligned with us a lot more than Pump.
And then for obvious reasons, Bonk, Bonkio, we are direct ties to the Bon bonk ecosystem which i think a lot of these coins
don't and it's not a bad thing that they don't have but you can launch as you can see recently
six seven on another launchpad not that it really matters i'm not player versus player launch five versus launch five whatever i believe everyone can succeed but there's obviously only one choice for where bonkyo belongs
yeah i like that i like that it's the only um nft community as well on bonk at least that that we
know about or i know about um I believe there's a few others.
Like I know Gibb, there's a frog.
I believe the artist or dev ended up rugging
and they CTO'd it, but the NFTs are all right.
So I'd like to give a shout out to some of the others.
Like there are other Solana NFT memes.
Like Chill House actually launched their meme collector
NFT collection like a week after Vankyo
so they're out there but yeah I I just don't understand the whole
one versus the other.
I think in crypto right now,
people are so vamp, PVP,
like, oh, Bonk Fun has the attention,
so my coin can't run.
And I don't think that's the correct attitude to have.
You need competition.
You don't want a monopoly.
You want to be pushed to do better.
So I like the competition between bonk and pump fun
yeah and i um i mean i i exactly i i think it again doesn't matter what goes up i just like
it to go up and people to win whatever it is um i i think i chose bonk for most of the coins i'm
entering into and stuff just because i did like that PVE community aspect.
But I think it's also just cyclical too.
Like you look at Pump and they were down.
Everyone was hating at the lows, right?
And now they're doing really well.
Same thing happened or was happening with Bonk, right?
They go hit really amazing highs and then um then they they go low and people think
it's dead and not coming back and pumps taking over i think people soon to realize that there's
more opportunity there's many cycles and in crypto these cycles happen a lot faster than
anywhere else um but i obviously don't think bonk's going anywhere and they obviously have a lot of
potential with everything coming up with the administration
and clearly different exchanges and things like that.
So what's your, I guess, what's your outlook on Bonk overall from now to like the end of
the year?
Assuming positive.
Oh, look, how did, did you post that or did Intern post that?
Bonk, yo, can you hear me?
Whoops, I was muted.
Yeah, so I shared that.
We got something.
I wanted to test it.
I've got something coming here shortly for you that we've...
Oh, he's not a speaker anymore.
Anyway, this is where I can just tell my bad jokes until he comes back up um first off i need to figure out how he did that yeah there you go
the share button and it'll say share to space
share to space oh cool okay perfect so that's our post it we'll be doing a giveaway on that like
retweet comment follow us and we'll pick one person they have to be in the space stay till
the end we'll do it after all of the people come up and share their tokens but uh back to what you
were saying so a quick note before we move on
to the next question. Bonkio launched in a very, very interesting time because the PumpFun token
had just launched, the PumpFun team went silent, and then every bit of Mindshare swapped to Bonk
because everyone was fighting PumpFun. And I feel that we launched at sort of the perfect time. And we did not expect it to go as crazy as it did. We hit 11.5 mil on the first day in a five-sole NFT floor.
And as we're dwindling down, Pump took a ton of their mindshare back.
And then everyone started FUDing Bonk because their Pump Fund tokens weren't going up.
So the liquidity was swapping to Pump Fund.
And that's where I get back to the sort of, I think everyone can win.
There's no reason for it to be Launchpad versus Launchpad aside from the fact that people have bag bias and don't want other places to succeed, which I think is a very strange mindset.
Jesus, I didn't realize you guys hit that high.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you launched literally at the peak.
So if I look at our chart and then some of these other charts, it's...
Yeah, for real.
Like you, we, we peaked about the same time you guys peaked with our all-time high.
Yeah.
It was, it was purely like everyone was bidding Bonk coins and, you know, we, we just hit
the nail on the head, I think with the launch.
And then as we sort of lost the mindshare it bled down and we've you know we've still
been here pushing every day which you know is sometimes tough when you're not seeing the results
but over the past few weeks um it's been really nice to to talk with the bonk team and we've had
a lot of the bonk team members show support. I think Branch, shout out Branch, they are awesome. They've been pushing with us for a month plus now. Then we had Soulport SKG, we had Bajorn, we had one of the Radium guys, and then we recently had Nam, Changes Profile Picture to a Bonkio. So for all of those
Bonk team members to show support in a way of changing their PFP, it takes me back to the actual
PFP conversation. Like changing someone's PFP, it's your identity, it's your brand. So like when
someone changes their PFP, I think it's a lot more
serious than just like shilling a coin on the timeline. Because you know, you could post that
coin once and then be like, Oh, okay, cool. But just delete it. Or no one's seen it. Whereas,
you know, changing your PFP is a sense of your identity and what people see you as.
your PFP is a sense of your identity and what people see you as.
So on the note of PFP, if you want to check, I'm going to pin this on the spaces, but we
made you a little bonky-o PFP to fit with the bonk ecosystem.
You made me a bonky-o PFP?
Yeah, hold on. Let me see if I could share it there we go check it out it's still got your your send it it's still got you in the glasses but we got you
with the bonk face and that's one thing that i think is so cool about Bonkio and making all these honoraries for people.
It's taking their PFPs, like Noms, SMB, and turning it into a Bonkio.
But in a way, it's really just the Bonk dog.
So someone can then rep their profile picture while still showing an ode to the Bonk ecosystem.
Oh, that's sick, man. Thank you.
Yeah.
I'm such an idiot. I didn't realize it was the Bonk dog.
I thought it was a random dog.
I was like, oh, that's sick, man.
The fact that the one thing about Bonk in general is
you're seeing a ton of communities right now that hyped up and kind of hit their high in late July.
And then they're experiencing their first 90% drawdowns.
But for the most part, I see most communities still very active and bidding and holders not really caring about price.
bidding and holders not really caring about price i mean i know it does suck like to your point it's
I mean, I know it does suck.
like when you're putting all this time and energy into it you want to make sure that you're rewarding
everyone else who's kind of your bag workers and everyone that's been involved early or late or
didn't get a chance to sell when it was higher and they fell down um but from the very beginning
where you said you were to nfts and you were good at round tripping i knew you were going to be a good founder because that means you're probably round tripping as a founder
as a founder of this too and you just want everyone to win in your community
no absolutely i mean like i said we we definitely didn't expect it to take off as hard and fast as
it did and you know to sustain that sort of level of hype is quite difficult.
So, you know, the drawdown is understandable, but the comeback is going to be even more
legendary, right? Because, you know, with charts like these that bottom out and then get to the
turning point, from my experience, though, because this is my first ever real project,
to my experience, that is the best chart to buy, right? There's a target to where, oh,
it's been achieved before. So in your mind, it's like, why can't we do that again?
When you get the right holders in at the low and they believe in what
they have, I mean, I think the possibilities are endless. Yeah. And I think, and I guess I want your
opinion on this. So I've heard it plenty of times from different holders, just different round of
people on spaces and communities in general. And their kind of comment is, it seems like Bonk just puts a ton of emphasis into useless
and doesn't seem like they're trying to took up all quote unquote other tokens besides like
their own tokens um and I think my perspective on that is useless this is gonna sound retarded but
so Bonk token is kind of like the Bitcoin of Bonk, right?
And then you have useless, which could be like the soul of Bonk.
And then you have the altcoins of Bonk, which are any PVE community on Bonk, basically.
I think Bonk eco projects probably will continue to do good, assuming useless continues to do good.
So assuming useless continues to go up and does well,
that's kind of like their front runner that the rest of it will go good.
But my question, I guess, is what's your opinion on like Bonk team being heavily involved with useless?
And I guess you have an opinion of, do you think they support that more than they support other smaller communities?
Or what could they do different to maybe support some smaller communities?
I think them and their support for useless is extremely valid.
Your comparison with the Bitcoin, Sol, all of that is pretty spot on, right?
So they have their main runner.
And so in people's minds, they see what is their number one coin
and is their number one coin?
And is their number one coin doing well? What is the ceiling for these other lower coins
that I'm in, right?
So I think that Bonk Eco needs useless to succeed
to show the overall like trajectory of the market.
I do think that they should touch a little bit more
with some of the lower end communities what i hate right now with crypto twitter is
they're all like oh bonk crimed this crimed that. But then when a coin goes down, they're like,
oh, why isn't Bonk criming this?
Why isn't Bonk doing that?
I think that the launchpad itself can only do so much.
They could show support.
They don't need to be injecting money
into all these different charts.
They want things to stay somewhat organic because you know them injecting money is not
really going to help the overall project itself I mean I guess in a way it will but it's not as
organic as as it should be yeah I feel you um and i'm curious i guess so useless is obviously their number one
kind of front coin right now but is it going to be that way forever or are they going to put
attention maybe on something else like is is useless the and again this is just opinion i
think it's fun to kind of talk through it in scenarios because as someone who's big in a bunk i want to hear someone else's opinion of who's big in a bunk um do you think that useless
is going to be their coin that they mostly focus on or do you think there's opportunity to pivot
to a different coin and make that their main runner because with like pump you saw plenty of
them right and then you see troll which they obviously injected quite a bit of capital
into and they have different um liquidity thresholds where they can add lp and things like
that i think bonk is going to get there too um i'm just curious if you think there's going to be
another runner besides useless that's like hey this is our new coin that we're going to draw
attention to i think it's totally possible, especially with the
USD1 World Liberty Financial thing coming into play. We've definitely seen it with PompFun,
just based on coins that were around and in the billions dropped down, another coin passes a billion. Fartcoin sort of surprised a lot of people
as other coins trended downwards.
Fartcoin just blew past those ceilings.
So I do think it's possible.
But that ties back to the Bonk team
not having to entirely like force something right you you you would want one of
those coins to be organic enough to where it can run on its own like the narrative and coin itself
is such a good idea that it ends up in that spot yeah and i think that all starts with even like
your three c's and just community in general because you Yeah, and I think that all starts with even like your three Cs
and just community in general.
Because you could, and there's so much of this all over, right?
You could launch a coin, snipe 95% of the supply,
bundle it in tons of different wallets,
and you know what I mean, and just talk about it.
And it'll go up, and you can obviously tell those kind of coins.
Then you'll see someone like uh pow talking
about it and there's there's certain coins that do get crimed up and then there's other ones that
are kind of slow cooks um and organic so i i'm of the opinion that the better ones to be in kind of
longer term it's definitely fun to write like write the pumps up right to get into ones where
your money either goes up multiples overnight or
evaporates the next day.
I snuck in the bundle. I snuck in the bundle.
Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's fun to see, but I think,
I think there is room for them to, to definitely improve with some,
some, some smaller communities and attention,
but to give them like the benefit of the doubt,
they also
don't want to talk about something that isn't true and tested. And I think where it's now
been a couple months, maybe a few months, they can kind of see who's sticking around,
who's here to stay. And I totally understand they kind of shot themselves in the foot with
some of these first launches that completely rocked that looked like legit projects in the first couple of days.
So I think they're just trying to be careful.
But my whole point around that is I think people will be rewarded for continuing to
build and thinking this is a long-term thing, not a short-term thing.
And as a founder like yourself, that's sometimes hard to swallow because in crypto one month is like
six months um and it's making sure that people are happy and expectations are set but
anyway that's just me rambling i think i think you're doing a great job my my question to that
is what i guess if anything do you have in store for for the future for Bankyo. Before I go there, to touch on what you were saying, I think
that Seoul as a whole feels like everyone focuses on these new pairs and the trenchers and seeing
these guys that are making these P&Ls every single day just going in and out. But you'll see over
these next few months, the long-term belief like invest, like as
Murad says, stop trading and start believing.
Those types of plays will see the bigger gains as things fizzle out in the trenches.
Yeah, I think so too.
I mean, being here for quite a while, right?
You can see that holders usually outlast traders unless you're,
you're cupsy and can just make stacks one K P and L's every single day,
500 times a day, but holders usually outweigh the traders.
Yeah. So for Bonkio, we've got some, some cool things planned up.
Bonkio, we've got some cool things planned up.
We've got some interesting marketing ideas for Bonk, New York, Times Square, Billboard.
But otherwise, we're just still pushing with the community, trying to build a strong base as we go back up.
with the community trying to build like a strong base as we go back up um to touch back with the
bonk team supporting it's it's really nice like seeing all of these people change their profile
pictures to bonkios and it it's not like a little thing to change your pfp so yeah i think that's sick i i haven't i've always seen that pfp
i just didn't know what it was associated with um until you dove deeper into it right but there's
quite a bit of people that have been rocking it and i see in tons of my replies and obviously in
the spaces and stuff but i think it starts small and then goes up obviously we'd love everything to just go up
in a straight line forever it just doesn't really happen and people should think of pullbacks as
opportunities to to grow the community and get more people in to see the vision for something
more longer term yeah and and long term you know we really just want to cement ourselves as the cultural PFP of Bonk.
You know, we want people to remember that launch day and us sort of bringing back the NFT to meme coin vibes.
I think that right now the NFT sentiment, especially with the market being as up down as it is, it's hard for, you know, JPEGs to flourish.
I think last cycle, NFTs did their best on the way down.
Like after ETH topped out, after SOL topped out, NFTs actually performed best. So I do think we'll have that NFT surge season here soon.
And Bonkio is very well positioned for that.
Yeah, I agree.
I think there's too many people that think NFTs are dead and never coming back, that they will just come back.
that they will just come back.
I think there's so many people too
that grow so attached to that PFP and what it is
that they'll just never sell.
Like Froggy Cyborg who works with me on Send It,
he wouldn't sell his penguin
even if it was like 500th floor.
Like that's just a floor pengu.
And it's just crazy to me
because I've tried to tell him like on the last pengu run up,
I was like, you should sell this and then buy back lower to any other random penguin.
But he just he's never going to sell that thing.
And I think that's the cool attachment people have with NFTs.
The thing you see with NFTs.
So my Pudgy has opened so many doors for me.
has opened so many doors for me.
And it sounds stupid that owning this picture
allows you for some sort of special treatment.
But in a way, people resonate with people
that are in their community.
And Pudgy is a great example of these people
that connect and love other people
that are involved in their community,
whether it's a little pudgy or a big pudgy, or even just like supporting, say abstract,
like, yeah, a rug. Um, I think it's cool to be involved in that special little club. And I too, I don't think I could ever sell my Penguin.
And that's maybe the downfall of how I round tripped a lot last cycle.
But I think that the opportunities given based on those PFPs and being involved in those groups are so much more than the actual floor itself.
So the hopes with Bonkio is you have these PFPs and they're so recognizable.
And it's like, oh, that guy's a Bonkio.
Let me share some alpha with him.
Let me give him whitelist.
Let me connect with him and see what he's got going on yeah i totally agree i think that's actually something you could do as a
utility play for bonkyo too i don't i know nfts are like so you do you have a discord because
most nfts i remember mostly ran through discord over telegram no right now we just have uh x chats
just because i feel that it's easy we have a Telegram that's really just for announcements and a Telegram for memes.
But other than that, we really stick with Xchats.
It's something that we could look into expanding with the holder roles and all of that.
Sounds like a big pain in the ass, doesn't it?
It's tough.
I've never been that Discord savvy.
Yeah.
So I definitely have to get some homies to help out,
but it's something that we could look into in the future.
Discord is the one place where if it's not set up right,
having like ran an NFT community for three and a half years,
the most terrible scams can happen where if you even click and drag a bookmark or something,
your entire thing gets compromised and your Discord key gets compromised and people are
getting DMs from fake hero and it can be awful.
But I do love that now that people are moving conversations to X and I think that's where
it should be.
Like for Sendit, we have a, just like you, we have a price bought telegram and then we have a meme channel telegram but we
try to keep all the conversation just on x because that's where most of our people are that would
really know about us um so i think that's a good play i was just more so curious if you had
like uh you know if there's some nfts where they have like an alpha group, if you own this or that, that's something that could be cool in the future, maybe.
Yeah, it's definitely something we could look into because that's the cool part about NFTs, right? It's a verifiable token asset. And, you know, you could even include the token, like meme tokens where, you know, you must hold 500, 000 bonkyo to be able to access this channel
so it's definitely something like from the past i'm i'm well versed in how all of that works
um so something that we could explore yeah yeah i think that's the fun thing like being able to
gamify all of it so you i think you need something kind of like discord if you're going to do that
like a collab land but for tokens or the NFT.
Or you can gate people to want to be a part of that if they own certain NFT amounts or token.
And then open up different utility in that channel.
this quant that can track pretty much any wallet you ever need to,
or project or wallets of projects and which buys are coming in from FNF
groups and stuff.
So opening up like utility like that and a discord gated by your PFP could be
something kind of cool later on, but yeah.
And the dev we have is, is very knowledgeable.
So I'm sure he's, he, he's made discord bots in the past. So we appreciate feedback like that because that allows us to, uh,
sort of improve and add new things that community is interested in.
So see my dubbing skills is, uh, I don't, do you ever play neopets.com?
Oh yeah, dude. Back in the day. Yeah. i started that when i was eight years old
it's about eight years ago um but all my neopets accounts got got banned because i was buying too
many neopoints but anyway you could where i was going with that is you can dev your own shop and
have music and see at ucss and html that's about my dev capabilities
hey with uh with ai nowadays you could basically teach yourself how to code
very easily yeah i could do it i guess set up like a discord bot or something so let me go
through the comments real quick let me see if there's anyone that has any good questions
they say your voice sounds really handsome um no one actually said that i'm just saying it for you
i was like oh damn thank you so who is this speaker i want to meet them
no there's just a ton of bonkyo there's so much content that you guys have too
yeah the content and and like the straight up bonkyo is crazy like like
you mentioned of going into the comments and being like bag working and raiding with all of the pfps
because it's a little bit different when say you're shilling fart coin in the comments and it's
everyone's saying fart coin fart coin but then you see a group of straight
excuse my word just retards showing up with dog profile pictures saying bonkyo there's that's
something different there's retards and then there's like retards you know there's there's
good retard and then there's kind of just you're just retarded but I think you need the
good kind of retards I think we're on the same level of the retards we like we've got a lot of
them not the retards like some of these guys in the comments saying when is let's bonk going to
get listed on exchanges I don't even know what let's bonk is and what are you what are they even
talking about I don't know I don't know again it's just the wrong kind of retard, right?
You need good retards, not retarded retards.
So, all right.
Well, thank you, Bonkio.
Any last things before I open it up, before people start talking?
I know you're giving away an NFT.
I love my PFP.
I'll probably PFP it for a week or so.
I kind of change it every so often.
I did a retard coin helmet until I literally round-tripped that one to zero.
Keyboard Cat, which I still have a lot, and hope to God I don't round-trip that.
And then my newest one, which is more Send-A-D.
But yeah, thanks for making that for me.
Yeah, no, we'd appreciate that.
I think I just want to end on this.
We are Bonkio, and Bonkio is just the Bonk culture embodied.
We have everything that the Bonk culture stands for,
and we aren't going anywhere.
I always like to buy things on Spaces too.
So I'm going to buy Bonkio
when I transfer solo.
I can't nuke.
I bought this token
called Solana Stock Index last week
and I can't sell them for Bonkio.
So I'll have to transfer solo and then sell.
So I don't just nuke one community
for more Bonkio.
We appreciate that.
Yeah, it looks good.
Well, I'm going to open it up.
If you all want to pop on stage, just request to speak.
You could ask a token to Bankyo.
You could just show your favorite token.
You could tell Bakken turn some good jokes.
While I'm waiting for people to request,
and if no one requests, then I'll just talk for 10 minutes.
That sounds great.
So I have kind of booked out until the 17th
quite a bit more people for spaces.
So I'm going to go real quick through this.
This week, we just talked to Bongkyo.
We're going to talk to Woying Chai on Wednesday
and then B-Dog on Friday. And then there's 20 more we're going to talk to Wang Chai on Wednesday and then B-Dog on Friday.
And then there's 20 more we're talking to between the 22nd through the 8th.
So if you're not currently on that list and you want your community on that list to talk and do spaces,
just have them DM me and we can get a schedule with one of them.
Anyway, I'm going to start bringing people up and you guys can just talk as you
want.
I don't care if you all talk at once too.
I'm great with that.
You guys can just talk over each other.
It's perfect.
And now is your last chance to enter the PFP giveaway,
like retweet comment on our post pinned here and we'll get it running.
Yeah. The second post, not second post not the not the second uh second one i should pay you to teach me how to do that so share i just got to get some practice
it's literally just photoshop um yeah i like it oh yeah we tried to get it as as similar to your
current pfp as far as it actually kind of looks like me in real life too, honestly.
You know, kind of have that dog face looking female.
You got that dog in you?
That dog face female looking vibes.
All right.
Berserker, what's up, dude?
What's up, what's up?
Hi, guys.
I'm a full port, I would say on Bonkio. But I had a different question regarding tonight. I was wondering, can you guys hear me okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just letting you talk.
I'm building a game with a friend from a Bayac, like an ape.
I don't know if you know him, Neon Apes or something like that as its username.
And it's basically similar to NFTs, but for whitelists,
like you can take points points you make points and then in a random day all the NFTs or whitelists
appear and then you have to battle to to win a whitelist it's different between like liking
and sharing things on Twitter so most projects can get their, I would say, spotlight in the game, and people can actually work for the whitelisted site.
I was wondering because I saw, I didn't see any connections to the Bonk.
Is it possible? Do you know if we can take the APA from Bonk and put it in the platform to have the launchpad of Bonk?
bonk and put it in the platform to has to have the launchpad of bonk so i don't know that for
sure but the best point of contact you'd want to message is solport skg and he'd be able to point
you in the right direction of that kind of stuff but it does his message is closed oh that jerk
sorry i said that jerk i'll uh i'll send him a message and see if he can reach out to you.
He probably gets like 5,000 DMs a day.
Maybe he doesn't like that I just send people to message him.
I didn't say everyone message.
Send him a message and say Harrow sent me.
That would probably go really well.
Yeah, I'll reach out and then have him message you. you from my end it sounds like a really cool cool idea though um pogart what's up i you
just said 67 what is 67 why okay tell me real quick i look at that and i think it's kind of
retarded but help me you don't know about think it's not retarded no i just know it makes no
fucking sense so maybe you could enlighten me it's the biggest normie
meme currently out it has like billion not billions like it has like hundreds of millions
of views already the all the likes on instagram and tiktok getting like a million likes a post
and what what is it though what is 67 it's just it's just a stupid meme there was some uh rapper that blew
up uh making a song with it and then some kids on tiktok ended up just making a bunch of six seven
videos and then the coin blew up but i i do think it's actually one of the stronger coins on on bonk
i it looks like it i mean it looks like it fell off a cliff but
at the same time that's usually
a good time to buy is when it falls off a cliff
and then it retests its breakout
so I'm not opposed to it
I just never I saw
Binance Street 6.7 and then it
completely fucking soared
and yeah
so do you have a lot of it?
probably a little more than I should a lot of you think it's gonna go really high then right yeah i got i got some pretty good
conviction on it i think uh i think it just takes one one soul port tom tweet and it's gone
and yeah i don't think that that's not going to happen like that you never know right that's such
an easy thing to tweet too.
Even if he's not even talking about the coin,
if he just says 67, it could be something.
Exactly. Look what happened with the make memes great again.
It went from 400k dead to 27.
I know whenever he randomly tweets send it or looks good,
we get some volume.
But yeah, no no that's cool
so 67 i have to have them up i don't know if they're uh if it's a cto or what let's see dev
abandon the uh the pump the pump they made a pump one yesterday trying to pvp it and they made a cto
but that one's ass but the uh the bonk one i'm not too sure who the main guy is.
Yeah, the pump one actually does look like ass.
I think if you're going to get one, you probably want to do the
bump one. Alright, I'll check
out 6-7, then I'm going to try to find out who
made it to talk with him about it.
Alright, cool. Thanks, man.
Thoth, what's up?
Thoth? Thothy? Thothy Wizzy?
6-7?
Yo! Yeah, Thoth, the wisdom keeper Toth? Tothy? Tothy Wizzy? 6-7. Yo.
Yeah, Todd.
The wisdom keeper from ancient Egypt.
Do you have a quarry on your thing?
Is it a monkey and a quarry?
Or what is that?
Yeah, it's a monkey.
That's my signature character.
And quarry, of course.
And I'm just shouting out for the quarry community
quarry had like a nice run through the weekend so so corey jar so tell me this as i have i have
quite a bit of quarry well friends and they're like god damn it i should have sold it at 30
million market cap to buy back here are you are you feeling a little down about that that you
didn't sell yeah but i wrote the post today that if everyone would sell at the top there wouldn't
be any chart you know to pump so see what i'm good at for the team you know yeah see i usually do
good at selling at the bottom so if i if i decided to sell my quarry down here, it'd probably reverse in the next day or so and then go up really high.
For sure, for sure.
It's like now it's a reversal time.
Yeah, I see.
Maybe a little bit further down, but then we go straight to 100 mil for sure.
I like it.
I want quarry to go.
I mean, I have some of it and I have quite a bit of friends in it.
So I don't have as much as them, but just to see that one would be good actually i think it could be with how with how much exposure it has outside of
um just the ct bubble i think it could be it could be a billion a few billion runner yeah
yeah we got remember we got to raise our least half a billion at first sell order you know
nothing less yeah if not bonkin turner and i are kidnapping that little pomerian who lives in russia
yeah for sure okay but i think we we don't need to that Corey will do his job. It's like a marketing machine, you know,
and it's going to gather normies.
Normies are not even here.
Murad said it today.
They are not even here yet.
So just fingers crossed and believe in something.
I'm going to start streaming for the con.
So Bonk intern, I know you can't say it,
but if there is actually streaming,
I'll start streaming these spaces. i don't know if i can i think i don't know if you have a if 16 year olds can
stream yet but since i'll be 17 next month maybe there i i can do it you're an old soul you're an
old soul so don't worry about it just go stream on youtube spread the good voice of the long community
yeah i'll do it i have a neck beard, though,
so people might make fun of me if I stream too much.
But anyway, that's all we're going to do today.
I appreciate everyone for stopping by.
Let's see.
We have Wang Chai.
I'm so bad at WeChat Doge.
That's what it is.
Is Wang Chai the same as WeChat Doge?
Does anyone know? I think it is. We're just That's what it is. Is Wang Chai the same as WeChat Doge? Does anyone know?
I think it is.
We're just going to say it is.
So Wang Chai WeChat Doge.
That's the best Chinese I got for today.
That's who we're talking to on Wednesday.
I'll probably open the last 15 minutes up
so we can get more people talking.
If you're here, just do the job. you are doing a great job so just do it
you know with the good work i i will continue trying to if enough people want to listen to
to me talk and then that that's great and hopefully it does some benefit with the von
kiko um i did say i was going to drop some send alpha for our community on this um but i probably
will save that till wednesday just because i don't really want to say what's coming we'll wait
till fmoc happens on the 17th but there's good things coming and for every community i'm like i
think there's good things coming just wait till the 17th um when fomc how do you get fomc whatever
fucking rate cuts and stuff is up,
then we'll be good to go.
Anyway, thanks so much for coming up on stage.
Fonkyo, any last words?
Did you want to give it one more time? Yeah, before we go, it took four rolls,
but one of the requirements was being in the spaces.
And the winner of the NFT is ServanCrypto18.
So we DM'd you Servan, DM us your your address and we'll get this in over to you you know what's gonna suck so bad is the assholes on this space that are
gonna change their handle to that and then dm you to say that they're them i well i just dm'd him so
i know i just we should be good yeah hey appreciate you though bonkyo thanks it was fun
learning about your project and the pfp thanks bonk intern all right catch you guys on wednesday
stay bonkyo Thank you.
