Good morning and welcome to
P projects every day. I'm excited for it. I see some friendly faces out there. Willis Liz, thank you for joining us. As a reminder for any new listeners out there, we do run this show every weekday Monday to Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern. It's a 30 minute show covering all the major news and
Crypto, Web 3, and Ineties, the show is meant for those interested in discovering the space, those actively buying and selling in the crypto and Inetie markets, and those here just doing research. I'm your host, Tyler D. I'm joined by my amazing co-host. We've got Emily, she's got some technical difficulties. She'll be
joining us here in a minute. We've got Logan Hitchcock, our editor-in-chief over at Lucky Trader, reppin' the Lucky Trader account up on stage, and we've got Ghost, content star over at LT, quiet whale, meme coin, and son of enthusiasts, rockin' and knock emigo still. Ghost, good morning, how you doin'?
Good morning, Tyler. You give people the weirdest impression of me that I'm just always in the sauna, always doing meme coins. I'm very passively into all these things. So painting a weird picture of me, but good morning, happy. Those passively turning meme coins in a sauna on a daily basis. Well, we'll work on your intro here.
for next week. Today we've also got Maxi on with us the Artisan creator of the MIMS project. We're going to hear his story and talk about the journey from MIMS to this new MINGLE's drop. So I'm excited for that here later on in the show. So what's on
- Back on the Duck at Fort today, we're gonna talk about Elon pumping the ladies a bit on this Paris-based controversy coin-based drama with Pepe token, Alpha Centauri Kids, huge day with the broken keys, and then our conversation with Maxi. Before we jump in, ghost, any housekeeping items?
Yep. As always, Tyler does a great recap of the NFC space every morning in the morning, mid-a newsletter. He wrote a great post yesterday. He's waking up at 5 a.m. every morning and grinding out content for us. So make sure you give that a subscribe if you haven't already. And then secondly, we've got our second edition of the AI Authority newsletter coming out tomorrow. So we've got that pins at the top as well#
that newsletter if you're interested in the AI space.
Ladies are top story for today. There are certain truths in NFTs. One, anticipation of delivery is better than actual results for holders. Prices often go down after art is revealed. And then now, if Elon tweets about your project, it instantly rockets.
The Malady's Project experienced that Elon pump yesterday when the Twitter boss tweeted out a Malady's meme with the text, "There is no meme. I love you." I guess I heard on the Nifty Show this morning. He found the meme in a reply to Grimes. So it's always a question of where he
But the market impact was swift and fierce. The Malady's floor jumped from 3.8 ETH to over 7 ETH briefly at peak in 80% spike. Certainly Blurr's new BNPL, the by now pay later program, was a part of this, allowing traders to capitalize on the
on that momentum for a fraction of the price. But the second part of the Elon pump rule is what goes up fast can come down just as fast. And after peaking at just over 7/8 we saw that floor retrace to 5 within about an hour or so I saw it at 4.6/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8#
This morning still up about 25% on the day. Still very solid for this market, but leaving a lot of those top buyers a bit disappointed. With that being said, there was one potential surprising winner through all of this. And that's the new NFT futures platform, NFT perp.
So they're described as a perpetual futures decks for NFTs allowing traders to effectively go long or short certain NFTs and that the Elon pump did crash their site, but it also enabled them to set records for volume.
numbers according to one of their devs, OX, Aster, that did 8.3 million in volume yesterday. That's dollars. Over 2,000 trades and they collected $46,000 in fees, all three of which were all time highs for that protocol. For some comparison, OpenC only did
That's $8.65 million. NFT perp did almost exactly the same amount of volume on the day as OpenC. That seems like a pretty solid day for the new perpetual futures decks NFT perp who is still in
in beta. So they might have been the biggest winner of this outcome. So that's the quick overview of the story and what happened yesterday. Now I've got a few questions for our speakers. I guess first, what is Elon doing and why do people continue to buy on these Elon tweets? Go, I'll tell you what first. Well, do we know Grimes is
This is full involvement with Malady's. I know that there was rumors that she was going to be like deejing a space for some Malady rave or something. And I think there was rumors also that she bought some. And then now you on is like responding to her with a Malady because they were in a fight or something. I don't know. I saw a bunch of drama around it. So curious. Maybe Emily, she's got her hand#
I don't know the drama. What I do know is that Grimes is almost always behind any of the crypto products that Elon accidentally or not accidentally pumps almost every single time.
Yeah, it's becoming ridiculous and there's now a bit of a history I want to say this is the fourth time that Elon has tweeted in pumpkin in it T Logan you tweeted this out yesterday I'd love to get your rundown If you're with us maybe take us through some of the the British
We have Elon pop history here. Yeah, can you hear me? Okay. I can. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah, so this is, I think at least the fourth reported time, and that doesn't count anything regarding any shit coins or doge or anything like that. But we had Elon tweeting crypto dick butts.
switch sent those up to 100% at one point in time only to very quickly retrace eon tweeted and teased really I don't know if there was a specific tweet to go with it but remember he did the whole B.A.Y.C. collage that was a big deal for a while and then of course the meme card that was
recent memory, right, that sent up the punk 6529 meme that sent that up and then yesterday. So again, and it's the same sort of playbook. I think a few weeks ago, maybe a month or so ago, we had mentioned it must have been the 6529 time that it makes sense to have Elon almost on tweet.
As an NFT you know active NFT trader for the exact purpose of what took place yesterday But you have to act very swiftly Because otherwise you get caught holding the bag well as it was almost within minutes The Malady Florida gone from like four to eight or you know at least in that range
range, seven or something like that, only to come crashing down very, very quickly. It was fast. And you know, when I used to think that, you know, if you got your notice on for Elon, the first place to look is blur and just buy the floor, but that might not be the case anymore within FTPurp on the scene. It likely makes more sense.
to just put it in a lot. But the risk there is if their platform crashes and you're not able to close your lawn, which I had a few buddies do, and they ended up getting liquidated because they got in a bit late. So of course, there's risk involved with these futures platforms. In my own, I want to get you
your additional thoughts then we'll go to Ghosts. Yeah, so it might be the fourth time he tweeted NNFT but last Shikwain cycle he tweeted all kinds of Shikwains and like his account was the number one shill location. Oh really?
Four shiit coins. Yeah, like people were constantly on Elon's, Elon's tweets and I was a part of a shiit coin project that he tweeted about twice and people made millions. It was crazy. I can imagine.
So perhaps he's moved on a little bit though. He's clearly still interacting with the coins as well. Maybe there's some more legs to his naptee bomb. He clearly gets some enjoyment out of this. Or else he wouldn't keep doing it. What I think is funny about it is that he's got the reverse effect on Doge now.
Which is why explain that. Like he, I think the first time he tweeted about Doge, that was like a part of it absolutely mooding. And since then, when he tweets about it, like when he got ready to go on SNL or like, I don't know, he just has like a really strong association with it.
it. And I think people anticipate the pump, so instead they short it and the weight has completely shifted to every time that he mentions Doge, it goes down now, which I think is funny. And I think he's also aware of it because he doesn't talk about it. That's interesting. Elon
about Doge and Big Appearances now priced in and if he doesn't do a good enough job it goes down. That is interesting. Ghosts, did you have some additional thoughts on this? Yeah, I just think the price action on the lady is wild in general and like even though it retraced a lot like still holding a 4.5, 4.65 each floor right now which is flipped
most major project of the week. It's really interesting because this one feels so counterculture and against kind of the main, I don't want to say mainstream because I think we're so niche that it's there's not really
it's kind of surging here. So kind of wild to see this price action while the rest of the space has been bleeding lately. Well, I've got a follow up question. Do you think the top is in formalities or if it has more room to room to room?
just kind of crazy to see. Yeah, I mean, the Rameleo babies are close to flipping moonbirds. And I think they may have actually done it briefly yesterday, which is ridiculous. I guess my perspective, like what else can happen other than just, I guess, becoming integrated across NFT culture and everyone buys in, but like Elon popping it
It's kind of like the top of the pyramid. So it is a little bit hard to see what other indicators will happen. I also think GCR dumped a huge bag. I want to say he was the whale who liquidated a lot of these yesterday, which did dip the floor. I need to follow up on that. But Emily, do you have more?
Yeah, so what I think is really interesting about the specific dynamic of this punk is the Malady's community was one of the early Buyers for Pepe so I don't think it's new buyers I think it's themselves buying Pepe or buying Malady's with their Pepe gains They are
incredibly closed off. People do not want to be associated with all of their, I mean, I don't know how to put it, but weird shit. And like, I don't believe that this would have been able to occur in a market where they didn't make bags on Pepe because for whatever reason their price holds pretty well.
And people also are incredibly wary of that project in general for good reason. Right. I think so that that's absolutely a factor. I think another factor is the blur BNPL program. And here's some drama that happens. So in the middle of this run,
Apparently blur tweeted out like hey if you didn't know this you can buy a millady right now for 0.98 with our bnpl and I think the floor was 5.5 Which certainly I mean this is anecdotal, but that added some fuel to the fire right but guess what any single person
who made that trade yesterday likely has their loan called in and they're probably going to lose all that. So was that an irresponsible move by blur or is it just normal day-to-day marketing for them to do that? Go, certainly, I'd love to get your thoughts
awesome that it feels a little irresponsible to me and let go for it. Yeah, I think it's funny about that is is blur really seems like the player that's just thrown it all out the window and it has like completely acknowledged that if they if they go first then they can win something and like
don't care. That just seems very much to be with the position that they're in right now and it's kind of wild to watch. Other people are seeing around, they're like, "No, that's bad for the ecosystem." And Blur seems to really embrace, like if the technology can do it, then we're going to do it.
Yeah, I'm with you. I think that was a, and they did delete the tweet and effectively apologize for that. I mean, that felt irresponsible. So we will, we will see, especially because with the current limitations on their protocol, you cannot protect yourself. You cannot top up your BNPL by
So you were literally just just just done on the trade whenever the lender calls it Which I think a lot of them already have but I want to move on again into just a quick roundtable before we talk to Maxi Before we do that. Let's read the news Today's top headlines powered by Lucky Trader
Trader. Trading volume rocketed to 22,000 each on Wednesday led by the Malady's after the Elon pump, though most NFTs saw big red on the day with several collections down 4 to 10%. Alpha Centauri kids, the broken keys, closed their auctions yesterday, resulting in over 730 each and sales this one
$1.3 million raised for ACK. The smallest winning bid was $9.8. The top winning bid was $31.690. Paraspace revealed an active controversy tied to an exploit that occurred back in mid-March with its founder and CEO, Ruan Tubo, apparently misappropriating 50% of the funds
that were recovered in an active and ongoing situation. You can see how Daniel Allegra finally pulled the trigger and made a board ape his PFP after being ridiculed on this show for weeks and weeks. Altava group announced a licensing partnership with Antimoka Brands allowing Altava to utilize
a new premium golf utility project. Blur announced two changes for bidding, including a new cancellation requirement to accept lower bids and a new filter for bid spoofers while OpenC Pro announced a new label for bid farmer wallets to display on their platform. And Campi Panda announced that Panda holders were
get a karate token, airdrop worth an estimated $900,000 total at launch with a snapshot coming on May 15th. In Web 3, in crypto, crypto market was very bodily yesterday after a good CPI print, but then falling at after fears of more US government selling Bitcoin down about a half a percent at 27,000
trading volume dropped almost 50% in April to $290 billion. It's second lowest level since 2021. While Robinhood also reported a 30% decline in crypto trading year over year. And then Boss Beauty is collaborating with Barbie to launch a collection of virtual collectibles on the flow blockchain. So Boss Beauty is back.
with Barbie. Those are the headlines ghosts. Any of those that stood out to you or caught your attention? Yeah well I think that Tyler personally bullied Daniel Allegrae into buying a board eight because I think it was last week on the show you were saying how it's ridiculous that he doesn't have a board eight when he's the he had a mutant at the time and we're talking about how mutants aren't that aesthetic and that he should
have a board of the now he finally bought one so I think you personally bullied him into doing it. So good good or bad for you depending on how you look at that. I have a lot of thoughts on the Coinbase newsletter as well but I think we're going to hit that and then the boss beauties I mean that's a huge brand to be partnering with a Barbie is like that's very mainstream. It's on the flow blockchain not thrilled about
about that. And it's always interesting to me to see these collections, like it's good to see boss beauties continuing to push forward. I mean, they're at a point zero, seventy four. Like we haven't heard much about them for a while. So like those that could have easily been one of the collections that kind of just like slow rugs or kind of goes by the way side, but continuing to do stuff. So good to see. Yeah.#
you there. I want to get to our conversation with Maxie. So let's maybe just do like one to two minutes on Coinbase. I'm going to read the expert, the excerpt from the newsletter. What you should know about Pepe and the meme coin of the moment, Pepe, which was issued around three weeks ago with a comically huge supply of 420 trillion tokens has been leading the meme coin activity. The token
is based on Pepe the Frog meme, which first surfaced on the internet nearly 20 years ago as a comic strip character, over time it has been co-opted as a heat symbol by alt-right groups according to the anti-definition league. So this has pissed off a lot of Pepe holders on crypto twitter which are now boycotting Coinbase. Emily goes with love to get this
your quick 30-second reactions have had an empty crypto degen's lost the plot and kind of rebelling against coinbase for this newsletter. What are your thoughts Emily? What I think is really funny about it is that like the main perspective or the main argument that
people are taking is that, oh, you know, coin bases against crypto because they're not taking this obscure shit coin or I get this not obscure anymore, but they're not, you know, they're not going to adopt this shit coin in the four-week timeline that it came into existence, which is wild, right? But the
Part that I think is extra crazy is that people thinking Coinbase adopting a shit coin is significant more so than like normies seamlessly adopting web 3 technology which fills a huge technological gap for them. Like the fact that people still think it's oh get my friend
friends to buy NFTs are like get shit coin on coinbase is the goal I think just shows how generally uneducated and unaware people are that are hyper active in this base of how these things actually work. Yeah, I'm with you there goes to thoughts.
Yeah, I mean, I see both sides of this and I think it was kind of a new responsible thing to put in the newsletter without putting any context about how Pepe has kind of been reclaimed and isn't really an alt-right symbol anymore. But at the same time, we've talked a lot on the show about how I personally feel like Coinbase is the company who's leading us in
this war between the government and crypto. And I think that is a million times more important than listing Pepe the Frog or putting a little thing in a newsletter. And to see people now saying to cancel Coinbase and not support them is just a huge misstep in my opinion. And I also
I have enjoyed Pepe and I enjoy the memes and I've enjoyed trading the coin and I thought it was a nice little movement but I've kind of have this creeping feeling now that Paulie and some of the same guys that are that were behind a lot of the writer rips stuff between the board a club calling them Nazis I have got this creeping feeling now
that this is following the same path and behind the same people and it's getting harder and harder to support it because I think those people are just completely toxic. So this has some serious deja vu to it from the times when we were trying to cancel board a Beyond Club and that whole movement there. So kind of souring a bit for me. So ghost might be out. I agree with
you. And maybe we'll talk about this more in our casual Friday show tomorrow and we've got a bit more time. So let's save and put a pen any more thoughts folks have. I want to introduce Maxi here to the show. So I'll do a quick intro and then we'll get into our conversation. But kind of read
Including from Maxi's bio, Atlanta Station, inspired by the trees and traffic, I draw memories. I make people blush with art. I tell stories through text, pencil, voice, the creator and artist behind the Memes project movement who brought you the critically acclaimed men's voyage, one release, and now bringing forward a new story.
I'm actually welcome to the show we love having you and I'd love to just kind of quickly dive in with you and hear your story and then maybe specifically when you realize you can make people blush with art. Yeah, definitely. I feel unappreciative for you guys making the time.
definitely full of knowledge now from the the digest you guys went through so that was thorough and appreciated definitely a lot of shit going on so yeah every day yeah but um yeah you know it's been it's been a journey I've been you know making art my entire life and then you know found my way to NFT
He's about two and a half years ago. I was able to launch MEMS in April of last spring and had a beautiful community form around the art that I created and the story that we told. I was able to do all this with a solid nice and slim team and everything and we're back now.
And I think that I can make people blush with art. I kind of just like putting it like that because I think a lot of the art that I can make people blush with art.
art that I've made and the stories that I've told in the past have just been from a place of like the love that I felt with like you know in a relationship or and you know a family dynamic or something like that. And I think truly the best stories you know are probably love stories you know if you look back in time and stuff and I think that's kind of what we're talking about.
trying to do with memes and also mingle. Kind of also understanding that, you know, when I'm creating art for somebody, I'm really only touching like one of their senses and that's like a visual thing. And like 80% almost like, you know, four out of the five other senses like smell, touch,
sound, those different ones. 80% of that person's experience in the moment is not about the art. You know, so it's like how can I draw and how can I tell stories in a way that like fit into as many people's like little rooms across the world as possible. And I think kind of being like a supplemental storyteller
and like a casual force like in the R world has kind of been the direction that I've had it as an artist like sense entering that in a piece of space. I love that and that's quite poetic. The best stories. You read the bio. It's a cringed poetic.
I love it. I try to be a poet myself unsuccessfully. One thing you mentioned is forming a community with men. What has the last year been like since Mem's launched cultivating a community running in a tea project and was been
a fairly brutal market. Yeah, definitely. I mean, then honestly speaking, it's been hard. You know, it's been as an artist, you know, you obviously subject yourself to whatever comes when you, you know, you take the reins and say, Hey, I want to drop an NFT collection. You know, that does not come with a light kind of
It's been difficult. We had a beautiful community form. We saw hundreds of people in New York last summer. We sent people to La Plusa. We did all these things. The bear market obviously, you see the reins pulled back a little bit. It was just like an interesting
time because it's as an artist and as kind of like a business owner once the collection gets released, you know, it's one of those things you kind of can't take personally. It's just like, this is the market and this is how these things work and these people don't hate you or hate the art or hate anything like that. It's it's truly just everybody
becoming acquainted to this new concept of like real time 24/7, buying and selling art. Everybody's readily available. You have everybody across the world. We have like team members across the world, different time zones. And it kind of feels like this, just big, huge party and celebrate
I always try to keep the focus and I think any of the little hiccups that come along the way are truly just us as artists and creators and leaders in this space getting used to this pace. So I felt very humbled this year, felt, you know, beyond grateful for the opportunity.
opportunity that I've had as an artist to be able to tell my story with some of the people that I love and include new friends along the way. So it's been difficult, but it's been beautiful and proud of what we've been creating over at Edmams for sure. That's great to hear.
curious, do you feel like most artists know what they're signing up for when launching an NFT product and or maybe a part two, like were there any big surprises for you along the way? Yeah, I mean, I think I think artists just the intention behind creating work is different for everybody. You know, some people might be
you know, they have to create work and like they're like thinking about their like family and like, oh my father did this and I have to do the work. I have to you know all these things and some people are just like, oh I like, I saw this movie one time and like now I just kind of want to paint and all these things. So I knew the intention going in for me was like, you know, I love the art side of
things and I'll spend a weekend just staring out the window and then draw some cryptic words on the paper. But I do know that there's a business side to it. It's not an irresponsible thing to do, but at the end of the day, you have to take yourself serious in that way and recognize
that there's accountability behind including hundreds and thousands of people in collecting your art telling a story and with that accountability of sure that there comes like a lot of like you know difficulties and you can't make everybody happy and all these things but there's a lot of pride in it and I think the people that have taken the reins and kind of stepped up and been able to do it
But if you're able to successfully communicate your ideas and the intentions behind things, people truly, they hear it in your voice. Like, there's people in the community of memes that are in the crowd right now and I know that they hear it in the voice and they see the direction we're headed. And I think at the end of the day, giving people that.
open inspiration is like, I know that's something we've never missed up on. And it's let us like, yeah, like I said, like a cool place. So that is really cool. And I think one of the cool speeches of Web 3 and FTs and this artist world is the ability to collect or to connect
collectors with artists and fans, right? And enable conversations and be able to hear them speak, you know, hear where they create from. And it's really cool. It's a level of access that just didn't exist. And it exists at all. Yeah. No, I agree. You know, maybe on
your artistic process. You mentioned looking out the window, jotting some cryptic words on a piece of paper. I'd love to hear what your artistic process looks like. How do you actually create the mines and mingle artwork? Yeah, definitely. I think for me it's stayed and this is something I'm passionate about. I love hearing about this stuff.
you know, people watch like YouTube, lifestyle YouTubers and stuff. I just want to like meet people and be like, you know, how do you guys spend like, you know, your leisure time, your weekends, like what do you do? But I think like the artistic and like creative process for me, like it's all been around like having like time and like having
You know, I feel like these days it's like yeah, there's enough time to go like Climb a building like take some photos paints call your mom call this person call your girlfriend all these things But it's like do you have like the bandwidth to like and I know that's like a corporate term, but like I'm throwing around for a reason. It's like do you have the bandwidth?
to sit down and clear the plate, find a little pocket of leisure and really, really just let the creative ideas loose. For me, I don't have any, I have two steps of the year. I have a little granola bar.
I do like 30 push-ups and like, you know, recite something. It's just like, do I have like time, you know? Can I spend this afternoon without worrying about, you know, like renewing this thing or like calling this person or this person is going to call me and it's like, do I have the bandwidth to just create? And then it's like once, once
the palette is cleansed, the idea is come flooding and it's just like just like you know bubbles are like it's raining it's like you grab one rain drop and it's like all right it looks like this is where we're headed. So it's definitely the artistic process for me has just been around how can I find that like bandwidth and like clear my schedule, clear my
plate and trust the process. It's increasingly more difficult to do. I feel like in this modern world, we all have ADHD. We've got notifications coming from five different devices, different platforms, and it's hard to just sit down with quiet, and be alone with your thoughts.
So I can certainly appreciate that. Well, I want us to get to Mingle a bit. So the tagline introducing Mingle by Mims and open-ended art experience exploring the infectious idea of shared memories. I'm curious, what does that mean to you? What is this project all about?
Yeah, so you know, Mingle is kind of, it's honestly a project that was kind of created, the essence of it was really born when Voyage 1 was created because Voyage 1 was a, it was a narrative. It was a story, we had characters, and it was truly like a well-written
produced like cinematic experience and the release was this big like release of the characters conceptually it was very refined and like mingle in a way is kind of like in the movies where they like go back to before the plot like before the characters got developed and everything like just back to like the muse
Like the like you know first house that the main kit protagonist grew up in So this collection it like you know embodies real-world places real-world activities real things And it kind of really can stands for just like touching base with like the home concept behind memes and
which was this idea of memories and like how can we bring like in real life memories all of like the different things that we've done in the past before the past like you know four years of all these spaces or like three years of all these spaces and crypto and NFTs and everything and it's like how can we kind of like you know pay tribute to those
and find those little moments that we can all relate to. So in this collection on the Droppage currently there's some previews but there's going to be scenes that are going to be randomly generated and you'll be able to get a scene that's like dancing in the park and it'll have some characters, the window is going to be a park background
have a color and then it'll be like, you know, prancing like in the classroom or laughing at, you know, the rank or like, you know, walking up the mountain and you'll have these different groups of people and we really just wanted it to be a really, really, really concise, cool way for people to collect, like truly collect
memories. And once the collections live, you'll be able to go on secondary and buy a memory that maybe you've actually experienced. That's five people on the screen in Paris. I've done that before. Let me actually collect this memory.
Voice 1 was a story and Mingle definitely is a story but I think in a lot of ways Mingle is just kind of a it's a concept and I think it's a really cool thing We're gonna be able to do like on chain and there's some like write-ups on it that I'm excited to like you know release Just pass the intention of just the initial
Yeah, I really enjoyed this idea. Sorry, you cut out for a sec, Maxi. Yeah, sorry, right? So apologies for jumping in. But I think we kind of got in your answer there. And I really like this idea of connecting people to members
I can't really think about the projects off the top of my head that had that as one of their intentions. I'm curious, just quickly, what is the vision for this brand? So men's feels like kind of an overarching concept at this point that's going to have maybe a few
projects perhaps more to come. I'd love to just get your thoughts almost the high level view of men's and what it's all about for you. Definitely. And that's the question, you know, to ask it really every decision, you know, everything that we do with mams, it's like, you know, what is the intention where we headed, what are we doing here?
So, for Memes, I think the idea of being able to drop art that is highly desired with a story behind it online is like, in itself, package it up, ship it, it's gonna, it's an amazing idea. That is really, really, really, really cool.
And I'm glad that we've been able to do that. So, you know, on top of that, it's like using the people that we have met and just connecting the community, pushing some of these ideas. We have, you know, we want to get in the card stock and find a way to like, you know, have mems be this new hallmark, try to redefine some
of these things that we've known well in the past and revamped them with this modern Mems lens. For the time being, Mems as a brand is this ship that's a reminder through art, community, in real life experiences, and embracing this concept of Mem
That's like coasting along the internet and we're gonna keep dropping really cool things with really cool people and doing it the right way and kind of just keep having that Genius mindset when it comes to making decisions, you know business-wise, hard-wise who we work with
You know when we pitch something to the community to the world we want it to be thoroughly planned and thought out even if at the time it might be like oh You know, it's not the right time for this so that this is happening. That's happening. It's like I think at the end of the day we know What we're capable of and I think a lot of it is like you know throwing your arms up
up and saying that there is mystery to it. And what we're doing and what's happening in the world change so often that I can't wait to see what happens next in the world and how that'll influence what we do with MEMs in the future. Yeah, absolutely. I feel like there's
a few different ways that someone could interpret open-ended. One, the journey that can be put forward here, but another is just in the interpretation of these individual pieces and what they might meet to meet versus to ghosts or Emily or to you. I think that's really cool.
And the mims as the new hallmark, I could absolutely see some of this mims artwork on some hallmark-like cards. So I feel like that vision makes some sense. Well, we're way over time, Maxi, but I'd love to just before we go, any closing thoughts, anything you want to leave our listeners with here.
Yeah, no, just thank you, thank you, Tyler and Ghost, and Emily. I really, really appreciate you guys and appreciate what you guys are doing here. I think it's really important. I'm sure some days you guys are like, you know, I know doing this every day is probably a lot, but I mean, you'll find you're finding somebody every single day that hasn't been on the show or hasn't heard of the show in giving
and then a lot of new value. So definitely respect to just like the consistency you guys have been able to do this at. And yeah, I don't know. I'm excited. I think Mingle, you know, it's going live tomorrow at noon exclusively on OpenC. It's been like a dream come true to partner with like OpenC and get to know their team.
and work with, I mean, open sees the biggest marketplace right now and it's been in the past and it's just been, yeah, it makes me fumble over my words. It's wild where we're at and I'm just really excited about everybody being able to see the art and feeling really grateful. So thank you guys.
Of course, so after the show we'll tweet out the recording, we'll tweet out the link to the page for those who are interested in learning more. And again, that's going live tomorrow, May 12th at noon, Easter. So definitely check that out if you are interested.
