Welcome to the future.
Welcome to Coffee with Cap and GMGM.
Thanks so much for joining.
If you haven't already done so, give us a like, a repost, a bookmark on the space.
Greatly appreciate it.
A lot of OGs out there this morning. Shout out to Teacher Katie Hizzy, Thomas, Web3, Warhead, and Lost to Gains.
Lost to Gain in the XChat. She it says the most consistent show on ct ogs
in the game for real appreciate you appreciate y'all you know what to do i i'm actually gonna
i think i'm gonna start moving away from the call to actions during the intro all the you'll
you will find up top the link to the the audio space the X video, as well as YouTube and Abstract.
And I do have some alpha on Abstract this morning, or at least some new information new to me.
Anyways, I just saw when I logged into my Abstract portal this morning
that I unlocked a new gold tier with the update yesterday. the update yesterday. I didn't, I didn't go back
into the rewards after the show. Um, new gold tier, uh, gold tier one is what, what it gave
me before one of my pieces of feedback or, uh, critiques, I guess, was that the gold tier was just so large. And I essentially had given up on
making leveling up like that I didn't I wasn't going to farm enough to get the platinum.
I'm not really farming anyways, I'm just streaming over there. I hold a few assets,
hold some Pingu, hold a lot more Pingu, thanks to Frosties and all the tip oars over there
yesterday, loading up my Pingu bag. And bag. And, um, but long story short,
uh, I just saw this morning that these, uh, they, I don't know if it was my feedback. I'm sure
probably it was others as well, but the, uh, new, new tiers now available. So whereas before it was
like, I had to get a million more points to get to the platinum tier and no more.
Now I actually have something that I can aspire to level up and get to that is much more attainable.
And I'm excited about that. I think that's a good move and it will cause me to rethink
how I'm going about abstract. I might actually put more effort into leveling up
because now I feel like I can actually level up. I will. Here we go. This is it. This is what I'm
talking about. The abstract tiers is again, gold, platinum. Previously, I was again, just
you can see I've got 268,000 points on the gold tier.
I need to get to a million to level up to the platinum tier.
I'm like, well, that's been farming this,
been quote-unquote farming abstract for over a year.
I'm only 26% of the way to the platinum tier.
I did not think it was feasible or possible
without changing how I'm doing things
to get to platinum. However, now, well, of course, I'm going to get to gold tier two,
and they have 64,000 left to go. That's so that's new. I mean, gold tier one,
only 64,000 more to get to gold tier two. So if you've not checked your abstracts,
I just actually had a quick call with a friend of mine today.
I'm going to remain nameless because I don't want to, I may say some other things.
It's not directly, I'm not going to, I'm not going to share any alpha per se, but I don't even want to try to connect any dots.
I'm just going to say I got off, I had a good call right before the show.
I missed the second half of Modern Market because I took this call and told them,
hey, I'm not sure if you've been in Abstract recently, but if not, you might want to log in
because there's a good chance that you have a new tier that you can aspire to get to.
Appreciate you, Teacher Katie, always with the Alpha, our local abstract expert over there. I will share this next. I did just
pin it up top. But yeah, there was an update or an update yesterday. I missed the abstract post.
This is the other I said it was cold open material. I'm actually going to show the next
thing is how to clean up your ex. I just saw it. I'm not can't remember who initially posted it. But I haven't made
the change. I'm gonna do I'm gonna make some of you all
gonna make some of my changes live. Because I had no idea this
existed. And now I am. I'm hopeful that it also helps clean
up my ex for you page.
I'm sorry,
not the for you.
I don't use the for you.
I mostly use the following page,
but my following page has been really messed up lately because it serves me
things that once again,
can't the ex cohost thing is broken.
I don't know why this is so broken.
But same issues we had yesterday with Outer.
It just doesn't want to give people a β does not want to give people a co-host seat.
So I'm just going to leave it up here as a speaker for now.
We'll do the co-host another day.
We'll do the co-host another day.
Yeah, it's just anytime I accept co-host, it sends the account right back to listener.
It's showing muted on the bat phone, so there should not be any echo or any audio, but on my main phone, on the host phone, it's showing that the Coffee with captain is a speaker that's unmuted so can you just give
me a quick confirmation no audio no echo is or do we sound clear in the chat are you getting any
feedback from the coffee with captain account being up there does it look as if it's muted to
you i guess if you are having any issues please let me know in the chat i will uh i'll just boot
it from the stage but risk saying he was kicked from Twitter a couple times. Yeah, I don't know what's going
on the last couple days. Thanks, oxy. Appreciate the heads up. Good to know it is still broken.
Yeah, I guess everyone has to come to YouTube. That is the fix. If x is not working for you,
just hit over YouTube right now. Go give us this. Go subscribe to our YouTube account.
You get the notifications. We go live., speaking of YouTube, we also had a,
if you missed the interview yesterday, or if you would like to play back, I know there was,
you know, speaking of audio, some mentioned having just some challenges hearing yesterday's show
because of the issues with X. If that is the case, head over to, here's, by the way, before I move on,
I'm just going to read this abstract post that
post which i pulled up on the screen and pinned up top with today's xp update we introduced tiers
the latest upgrade to abstract reward system tiers allow users to progress through three
ranks within xp tiers while providing a clear view of activity and more tailored experience
over time what's your new rank great move congrats you know ggs to the abstract team
uh appreciate the uh the update i think this is a good move.
It's much more realistic for me to get to tier two, maybe tier three.
And then who knows?
Maybe I do find myself grinding towards the platinum tier.
I just prior to this update, I had no desire to try to grind my way up to something that just seemed.
So hearing that the account is unmuted but no echo so we'll keep we'll keep plowing along
then if that changes let me know but in the meantime i will uh we'll just keep moving ahead
and then the other topic uh regarding yesterday's show is that interview is dropped in the chat i'm
going to pin it up above as well and if you missed the show or if you if
you did catch the show yesterday just want to give us some love on that specific it's a not just the
like the full show is live our producer pain uh clipped just the interview portion with something
we're going to start doing in the future as well for when we do have special guests on for interviews
that was sponsored interview yesterday uh courtesy of our friends over at Reach Network. I really did enjoy the combo with Albert
from B token and Bself brands. They are the first European company that are based in Spain to issue
tokens that translate to equity, or at least I should say dividends. And you can participate
in the upside. You do have KYC, they are fully compliant. But I'm hopeful that we see more and
more of this businesses, brands doing it the right way, and incorporating perks, real perks in the form of equity or dividends or profit share
for those token holders. I know in the US, it might be challenging today, but as we've got a
very much so a pro crypto administration, and they say they want the US to be the crypto capital of
the world, I think this would be one way to do it. Let's give investors, supporters another path
towards sharing the upside of some of these businesses and brands beyond
just going to IPO or friends and family around, et cetera. So yeah, that is pinned up top. If you
missed it, again, go check your abstract with the updates there. And speaking of programs,
there's also, if you are playing the OpenSea game, you've got a few hours left. I think this wave, this season closes at noon today.
I just did a few swaps this morning to get up to my,
to level up my boxes.
Might do a few more before the season ends.
They're also offering a 5% bonus on your points over there
on the final 24 hours.
So I saw Cheezus jump up on stage.
I said I want to share some X-Alpha to clean up your feed.
I just became aware of this day. I had no idea. So I'm going to do this. And then we'll get cheeses in here.
And you can feel free to take it whichever direction you'd like. But this will be a quick
one. Really a this is a PSA. And if you're if you too have been unhappy with what your ex algo has
been feeding you as of late, whether it's your following or your For You page, this may help. I had no idea this existed.
It blew my mind when I opened mine up. But there's something inside of settings called interests,
specifically your interests. Apparently, every topic that I've interacted with on X from since
2012 through today has notated it as an interest. It says, these are some of the interests matched
to you based on your profile, activity, and topics you follow. These are used to personalize
your experience across X, including ads you see. You can adjust your interests if something doesn't
look right. Any changes you make may take a little while to go into effect. So you might think, okay, Bitcoin, Doge, ETH, Tesla, XRP,
ADA cryptocurrency, I guess from the times I've dunked on it on here, Adam Schefter, okay,
that makes sense. I actually have no noties on for Schefter. So that makes sense. Adventure travel,
okay, I'm into that, but not necessarily something I, that's more of like an Instagram thing versus
the next thing. So probably going to uncheck that one.
Allstate, no idea what that's in reference to.
American football, yeah, I do talk about
and engage with American football stuff.
Android, I have no reason to follow,
to be following that stuff on X.
Animals, okay, again, also more of an Instagram thing for me.
Apostle, I have no idea what that even means.
Apple, artificial, I'm not gonna read all these,
but you can see here, IYCA, IYKAC,
again, no idea what that means.
Automobile brands, zero interest in following that on X.
Automotive, zero interest in following that on X.
You can see I'm just in the A's so far.
I'm gonna scroll down just so you can get an idea
of how extreme these interests are.
And now I'm in the B's. Now I'm in the C's. Some of these, again, I don't even know what they are.
Do I care about college football from 23, 24? No, absolutely not. So I'm going to go through,
I'm not going to do it all live, but Danny Rivera, Dan Brazilian. Have I ever interacted with a Dan Brazilian post? Maybe once, maybe I, you know, maybe someone shared it with me, but I'm not a, like, I'm not looking for Dan or anything he's
talking about in my Twitter feed. So these are things that no clue what this is. Dexter was a
cool show. Yeah. But I don't want to be served Dexter stuff in my X feed. I will go through,
and I'm probably going to uncheck 90, 95% of these. Maybe it helps. Maybe it doesn't.
But I'm curious if any of you have done this, if any of you ever actively manage your
quote unquote interests on X, has anyone went through and done a cleanup? If so, did it help?
I'm hopeful it helps. I just found it in real time. Just saw it this morning.
I will be cleaning it up today and i'll update everyone i mean it does
say it says it could take a few days to go into effect but like again again college football 2023
it's probably not overly relevant because there's probably not stuff probably not many people
talking about college football 2023 but if i got some highlight from 2023 wondering why the heck
that's showing in my feed maybe this is why zero goons again no idea what
that even means i have no clue what some of this stuff is but it x thinks it is a interest of mine
wine i don't even drink but yet twitter is serving me up posts on wine because it thinks i'm
interested in it so i don't know cheeses have you managed your interests on x did you know this was
even a thing no bro i'm trying to like and i've seen somebody in the abstract chat asking like i can't even find it where did you when you were in settings
where did you see interest at so here so carbon had the tweet let me i will post this i'm just
going to pin this post up top as well yeah because i just carbon's tweet he says just sent 10 minutes
unclicking interest anything i've ever mentioned anything i've ever interacted with uh even people i've never heard of or my interest
maybe things get a little better now and i clicked his link i i believe it's a valid link at x.com so
uh i think you're pretty safe in clicking through but uh and it did it didn't leave the app either
it just took me right through uh right to that setting so i'll pin this up top uh
okay somebody's saying it's under privacy and safety is what they're saying.
Doesn't make sense why it would be under safety, but here we are. Uh, I did pin that up top. I'm near certain it's a safe link. I don't think carbon's a scammer. And, um, when I, when I click
it, it doesn't even leave the app it
just takes me to settings and then yeah let me see if i can back go go through it uh just directly
through settings uh where's settings uh oh i don't know where you get to it was right there
under more hit more and then it's at the bottom okay settings and privacy and then yeah and i don't directly see
oh then content you see so when you go to privacy and then go to content you see and then there's
interest um the very first thing is for me is hashtag happy friday happy monday happy saturday
what the hell unreal right i saw some others like yeah it's like a 2020 time capsule
hey maybe this doesn't fix anything maybe it just is something that they don't even pay attention
to anymore maybe they went so far away with their algorithm tweaks this does this is even relevant
yeah and wasting our time i have all state i become so frustrated with my not even the for
you it's fine i i understand why they would serve up what what they do in the for you page. I get it. My frustration has been with the following page, because it's basically become a for you that if someone I follow comments on something, well, all of a sudden, that's all I see on my following page. I just don't want that stuff. So I'm going to take this approach, see if it helps.
my following page i just don't want that stuff so i'm going to take this approach see if it helps
maybe do the same thing i can't hurt i don't think to uncheck things that you simply aren't
interested in so maybe it doesn't do any good but i don't think it can hurt i'll be uh spending a
few minutes on unchecking interest today on uh my x settings kind of a difficult path to get there
the clean link is up top from carbon if you want to do the same. I'm sure that's not why you came up to the stage.
GM, she's always a pleasure.
What did bring you up there?
Yeah, GM.
I've just seen you talking about the abstract and, you know,
the opportunities over there.
And I express, like, we've been talking about abstract.
I just posted yesterday.
I've been live on abstract now. When you go to Abscan,
you can go to analytics and find all this information when you put your wallet in.
But yesterday was one year. Now I'm at one year and two days live on Abstract.
And being able to see the amount of transactions you're doing,
Saigar has posted, you want to make sure your X account is, is, is definitely linked,
but also that on chain transactions, like do activity that causes on chain transactions.
And, you know, I think they're really within the last two months, you know, ever since the FUD
that happened, you know, around when Finn got, uh, you know, know let go and like i could see a shift in the abstract
team and a lot of the things that they've been doing i got on a call with um with raj uh had a
really good call with him from a creator standpoint on abstract and a lot of the things that we talked
about they're you know they're they're implementing implementing. And I think that's also other creators as well, giving them kind of similar feedback.
But I think people are missing out on really big opportunities, not just to farm abstract.
And you remember in the original days, like a year ago, everybody's like, oh, you don't farm abstract.
You actually, you know, you just enjoy the app or whatever the hell was being said.
At the end of the day, you're still farming.
But I think people are missing multiple opportunities by being able to double and triple farm other brands that are on abstract.
Would you have an example? Like, what's your favorite double, triple farm other brands that are on abstract. Would you have an example?
Like what's your favorite double, triple farm on abstract?
Myriad.
Myriad markets.
Like everybody is so laser focused on Calci and Polymarket
because they have the most mind share.
Then you see Tri Limitless because it was on Cookie.
And like I listened to the Binance space yesterday.
They had all the top prediction market people in there dingaling was in there i didn't even know this guy had a prediction market
and yes it's like predict not fun and he was up there representing that and i'm like
so for me i i've you know i was a Rug Radio creator.
I've gotten to know Farouk and Sims and the team and all these guys and Loxley and all them.
They're all a great group of guys.
They're backed by some of the biggest people.
They know the biggest people in the space.
And I'm like, these guys are going to cook.
They don't have the mind share.
They haven't announced a big raise yet.
They haven't announced a big raise yet.
They, you know, in doing USDC volume over there has allowed me to not only now, you know, farm myriad at the same time that I'm farming abstract because I'm getting XP for all the volume that I do on abstract, you know, and even if you don't have money to, to place USDC, uh, wagers
on prediction markets, even when you interact with their point system, it still counts as a
transaction and on-chain transaction because the points are on chain. This is, this is important.
Can you, do you mind repeating that for someone who's, who hasn't heard that for the first time? A, just like highest level. What,
what do you mean by USDC versus points? And this isn't like your farming points.
This is participating in the petition market without putting any capital at risk.
Do you mind just like for those that's first,
first time hearing that kind of higher level explaining exactly what you can do
without putting any capital at risk and how you can, in this case,
double dip with myriad and abstract yeah 100 um so when you go to myriad like you
start off with nothing you have zero points once you create the account the very first thing you
need to do is go to the earn tab when you go to the earn tab you do all the different things in
there that you can earn it's a lot of follow in and repost in and, but you can end up with about
600,000 points in Myriad. Then you can take those points and there's two different types of markets.
There's USDC and then there are points markets and there's a filter for them. You can just filter
which way you want to go. And every time that you go in and make a prediction on the point
side you're still creating an on-chain transaction that is happening on the back side on on abstract
so you know for me when i i've been in i've been in myriad since before like i was in beta so
before anybody even knew about myriad i was already already testing it. We had a show once they
started talking about it. We started, me and Ben used to do a show called The Myriad. I think it
was Myriad Hour or something like that. I can't even remember. But you can participate in a
prediction market by doing it with these points. Now, the way you earn more points is
every day you can go in and collect points each day, going up to 10 days, the points increase
where by the 10th day, like tomorrow. Oh no, nevermind. I'm claiming it right now.
My day 10 streak, I got 25,000 points. Then it resets. So then you can claim your points once every 24 hours.
So you got to make sure you don't claim until you're ready to claim.
And then you just go predict.
Now, there are a lot less markets right now on points.
Right now, there's, let's see, three, like seven markets.
There was like 20 some odd markets, but a lot of the markets were
sports related. There was who's winning the AFC East, the NFC East. So there was a lot of
different markets there in points, but there's still some there with a lot of opportunity and
people, these are going to be considered towards your airdrop on Myriad. So when you go to your profile there and you go to the
leaderboard, the way Myriad is scoring this is you have a USDC score, which is your volume.
Then you have a referral score. So Myriad allows you, if you have the extension installed,
Myriad allows you to share a prediction market to the timeline.
Someone can predict from the timeline on X without ever leaving X as long as they have the extension.
So, Cap, you're really good at, you know, you guys used to,
you have your football show.
And so if that's like of an interest, you're like, okay,
well, here's the Michigan and Ohio game.
They have a myriad market.
I put it on the timeline.
You get a referral volume and you earn from anyone that predicts on that particular market.
So then you also have the point score.
Then on top of that, you have a multiplier.
The multiplier is only given to you based off of USDC volume.
And on abstract, you can get up to a 2x on the multiplier.
On the B&B side, if you do $500 in USDC volume,
then you're going to end up getting a 3x multiplier for your points.
So all four of these things add up to be what your total score is
for the upcoming airdrop of ticker mirror or
MYR.
And it's,
it's really important because then it also goes back to abstract because once
you do $500 in USDC volume on abstract,
you're going to be able to claim the Myriad grand master badge.
That's a badge that is still,
you can still claim it now the original
badge that came out on abstract i don't think that one is still eligible to claim um i would
have to create another account and then actually just go sign up for myriad that's how you got the
other badge but that one was only like a seven day badge. How do you get the master badge again? You get a $500 in USDC volume.
that's true.
It's,
it's very,
even right now you could use anybody could test it.
You could go on any market,
make sure it's not one that has,
zero fees.
You got to do one that has fees.
It'll cost you a few bucks,
like put 250 bucks on it and then turn around
and sell it right away and then give it a few minutes you should be able to refresh your abstract
and then you're gonna see the badge pop up that's okay sell it right away or do do one that's
near like ready to end like one that ends in a day or two and is like almost a foregone conclusion
yeah yeah you don't even have to keep the bet in there.
Just bet on it.
Wait 30 seconds.
And then just sell your position.
Smart.
You might lose a few bucks.
But, you know, it's still going to give you a little bit of volume over there.
Now, this is where the triple farm comes in.
Because Z, which is also an abstract product by the Bears team and all these guys.
Z had a Myriad tournament.
Well, depending on the badges you had, your multiplier on Myriad,
all the things you did,
they gave you multipliers on your Z that you earned in the Myriad competition.
So now that I had the highest multiplier, I have, I don't know,
it's like a lot of volume in USDC.
And I had all these things.
Now it gave me a boost on farming for Z, which gave me more Z in the Myriad tournament.
And that allowed me to get first place in that tournament.
So now, not only did I farm abstract abstract i farm in myriad and i'm farming
zeat at the same time smart so and there's many opportunities like this on abstract yeah appreciate
you sharing this is this is how you farm do so in ways that now in this example i think we talked
about like 500 usdc yeah but you don't have to put that at risk. I mean, I guess, yes, there's always risk of smart contract and et cetera, et cetera.
But the reality is it might cost you a few bucks, not $500.
And there's ways to multiply that.
I don't even put capital spend.
It's just moving.
It's clicking buttons and moving funds around.
Yeah.
Find opportunities where you
can double dip triple dip rack up these it is the reality is is markets are ripping if we i
i think a lot of these tgs were planned for q1 anyways i think if markets continue like this it's
unlikely that many of them delay might a few sure but i do think we could hit a you know a tge season and
you know this isn't like i know some people just are allergic to farms i'm not a big fan of farming
but at the same time there's protocols that i use protocols that i don't think are going anywhere
and it's silly of me to not take a little extra action and leave so much potential rewards on the table.
So, yeah, appreciate you sharing.
This is real alpha.
And, yeah, good shout out with Z as well as far as that triple dip, especially for those that are deep and abstract.
If there is a β look at the Z campaigns.
Look at what tournaments are out there.
Tournaments are out there. Look at what campaigns they have live.
Look at what campaigns they have live.
And if it's one that you're actively using on Abstract, probably send a tweet out about it and see if it gets you any, you know, any extra zeats and up those leaderboards.
Not to mention, not just the leaderboard or a potential tournament.
There's a chance zeat has a TGE someday.
You know, like there's there's just many and and if you're doing the thing you know
talk about it it's easier like that's the other thing is amplify now is they they can tie in on
chain components yeah so you're going to get the to the if you miss it you know jesus is getting
multipliers because he's he's he's not just talking about myriad he's using Myriad and they can see that. Yeah. And for me, man, it's like,
this is my full-time job. I do Web3 full-time. I'm on my X like, you know, 12 to 15 hours a day,
which is very unhealthy. But if I'm going to be here, I'm going to participate. I'm not just
going to sit on the sidelines. I'm going to do everything that I can. And I'm going to jump behind the biggest, you know,
the biggest names in the space because they're the biggest names for a
reason. You know, they know how to, they know how to drive attention.
They know how to distribute.
And if they don't know how they have people that are highly connected
behind them, that, that can, you know, push those other,
push those other ways. So ways so you know for me
abstract i think is going to be a massive win in those people that have stayed active on here
and the other thing for me is the badges i think the badges are very very important on abstract
and i've gotten in arguments with this because you know i think it shows historical presence
and it's it's like it almost goes back to ryan carson when he was doing his po apps you know, I think it shows historical presence and it's, it's like, it almost goes back to Ryan Carson when he was doing his PO apps, you know,
he was like the PO app King. Um, it's like, these are soul bound tokens.
They're non-transferable. You can't sell them. And you know,
but it shows that, okay, Jesus been here. He's got 39 of these badges.
I think there's only like 41 and I did it but there's still ways to get other
badges if you have a group of friends right now cap do you have the sock badge the gold the golden
sock badge i don't have the sock badge now okay so if you have a group of friends that don't have
the sock badge i don't know what the nft is on on dilly or whatever that site is. I think it's like 300 bucks. Find a group of friends that's willing to go in with you.
You get the NFT.
You claim the badge.
The badge is still claimable.
You buy the NFT.
You buy the socks.
Okay?
You claim that badge.
Then you transfer it to another trusted friend.
They claim the badge.
It goes around the whole circle.
Then you take the NFT.
You take the highest Weith offer.
And then you guys split the difference from what you paid for it with it.
If you have a big enough group of people,
then that cost could end up being very minimal
just to get that one badge that some people paid several thousand dollars for.
So there's ways to still get some of these badges
that are around
and just people don't
know about it and that's
the big thing is you know just figuring
all this stuff out but I do think
abstracts are going to be a cook
I really appreciate you sharing that
I mean more alpha there I just asked
in the war room who wants to buy some digital socks with me
there's somebody not like it
that's cheating
that's farming it's you're playing the game
I'm not saying I love the game
but I'm not going to
hate on the players that's for sure
I had those socks I bought it
for $800 and then
somebody came on my stage
and was like hey you know you can sell $800 and then somebody came on my stage and was like,
Hey, you know, you can sell those. Right. And then like the badge is soul bound.
It's not going to go anywhere. And I'm like, it's like, damn,
it just hit me right here.
And I lost $300 because I just went ahead and sold the socks.
And here's the thing, I guess.
I said, I'm going to stop saying not financial advice.
Don't hold disclaimers.
You all, like, if you're taking financial advice from me at this point in 2026, like, you seek help.
1-800-GAMBLER.
Do I think abstract TGE is going to be a $20, $30 billion TGE?
Not particularly.
I think Luke has got some very lofty goals but i
appreciate that he's striving you know he's swinging for the stars right maybe maybe it opens
at 100 million and everyone's down bad and and you're glad and then you're taking a victory
out because you didn't spend any time farming there is a world where it opens up at 10 billion
or 20 billion and you were here the whole time you're just talking about it you you were on there but you just didn't you didn't click a few extra buttons and you see friends
sharing screenshots on the timeline of four five six figure airdrops and then you're kicking
yourself because you were here you could have done it you just didn't take the extra effort to click
a few extra buttons we don't know how it's going to turn out. You make a compelling point,
like abstracts pretty well connected. I don't think they're going anywhere. I do think they've
lost a little bit of momentum. However, to your point, I also think they're starting to gain some
back. We're starting to see some changes. This tier thing, you may think at all, that's a small
change. It is a positive change. You can't convince me otherwise and they don't need
to be not every announcement not every change needs to be something that's going to be the
talk of the town for an entire week on crypto twitter yeah sometimes just book small wins just
just listen to feedback make those small changes you know people complain they killed the badge
program they bought the badges back these are all good And yeah, I think this is sort of stuff is we know we're in TGCs.
And you see, here's the list of here's 40 airdrops you can be farming.
Here's 50 airdrops you can be farming.
A lot of them are going to be worthless.
But if you look at the brands like Abstract and OpenSea and Moonbirds, will they all meet everyone's expectations?
moonbirds will they all meet everyone's expectations probably not it's it's near impossible to make
Probably not.
5 000 holders of an nft collection happy and let alone 100 000 plus users of these major protocols
metamask is another one right like these are ones that if you've been here i think you're
my opinion you're doing it wrong if you're not doing the bare minimum to at least get qualified for their
lowest tier. Maybe you don't go do collect, you don't have to go the cheesest route. We've got
39 of 41 badges, but I think, you know, at least look at it, at least be aware of where you're at.
Like maybe you open up your abstract rewards portal today. Like I did. Okay. I've only got 20.
I'd stop caring about my points altogether because in my head, I, I'm just not going to get to next year. I'm not going
to get the platinum. So I'm fine. Just streaming and I'll just take whatever they give me now.
Well, you better believe I'm at least going to get to gold tier two. Cause I'm only 26,000 points
away. I get like, I mean, when I was, when I had some more assets on there, I was like 10,000 a
week. Now I'm probably closer to like five or 6,000 a week. I'm going to make sure make sure i get to 20 to gold tier two because i'm it's within re it's within reach it's within
striking distance and i think things like this matter and not only the specifics but what matters
to me more so is the team's listening they're hearing feedback and they're making they're
making some changes so yeah and at the end of the day bro you can't you won't be the one that says
damn i wish i would have really went a little bit harder on abstract you know could you yeah but
of course you could but there's only so much thing there's only you can only give so much of your
attention to so many things in the space and for me it's it's like i'm looking at zeet i'm looking
at abstract i'm looking at uh myriad opena is a no-brainer for me.
When I look at that Dune analytic board that I don't know who runs this,
you know, like 95% of the wallets are just in wood, iron, and steel in titanium. So the first
four, which cost very little to get to that number. number so in in if you don't think these these treasures are
going to have an impact at tge and everybody's just sitting there saying oh i spent all this
money and i used the platform so much back in three years ago they want to also see what you're
doing now and how present you are and that's why like i'm trying to you know every beta thing that they've ever done
even when they bought open c pro i was there like i jumped into the beta and like or when they bought
uh what was it genie was it jim or genie gemesis right yeah yeah yeah well no no no that's the
gemesis nft what what was the i think it was genie genie yeah help us out what was it genie or jim i can't remember the
name of the yeah one of them did an airdrop then i was like oh i'm gonna go start using the other
one and then open c buys it and i'm like no i was like shit uh but yeah man i mean that's you just
you're here enough you got you might as well click buttons yep and go click buttons today
like especially i don't know we don't know when when abstract tge is up what we know is this
season of open c it ends at noon today so you get about three hours again if you're if you're at zero
and he's like i'm just not doing it this time that that's fine but if you log in there and
you've got like you know it's within each tier they've got the bars and you're at like 97% of your box, go, go do a USD to USD swap, spend 30
cents in fees or maybe three bucks in fees to get to the next tier. As she's just said, 90% of the
participants, there's a lot of people it's crowded, but 90% of them are in the first four tiers.
So if you're on tier four and you could go do a couple swaps
and get to tier five, it's probably worthwhile.
Is it gonna be a guarantee?
No, but I'll tell you this,
is if you're listening today
and you hear this conversation
and then it ends up being a huge print,
you're probably gonna be kicking yourself
that you didn't take it.
It's like, I'm not saying you're lazy
if you don't do this.
I understand it's not for everyone.
I'm gonna speak for myself. I don't, I've left money on the table when it comes to airdrops
because I just, I get lazy or I don't, I'm not a lazy person, but I don't prioritize things that
I don't necessarily enjoy. And sometimes Jesus said he works here full time. So do I like who,
like if I see a thousand dollars on the sidewalk, I'm picking it up. Shit, man. If I see a $10
bill on the sidewalk, I'm picking it up. There's been many times i've just stepped over 10 20 probably thousand dollar
bills here in crypto because i'm like oh i i'm too good for that i'm too good to go click a few
buttons yeah yeah i and i agree and in the biggest thing i can say to people is you know follow you
get it for me i've lost the biggest trades by not following my gut instinct
and listening to others and taking their opinion into like too much of my, of my, you know, what I,
my, my thought process. And while that's good sometimes to listen to others, I see so many
people that are angry and FUD, you know, the open C airdrop in that it's, oh, it's, you know, it's, it's going to be,
you know, it's going to be chicken nugget meal money. And, you know, I, I really don't think
so. I think, you know, and I see Steven here with the, you know, with them acquiring him and Adam
and like picking some of the smartest people in the space to help, you know, in real traders,
like people that have been in the trenches,
people that have bought NFTs for years,
like Devin and them are going after some of the biggest names to make sure
they get it right. And it's, it's important.
And I noticed you didn't have the Adam tweet pinned up there from 14 hours
ago. And I don't even know if you've seen it,
where he gave an update on the waves and uh preparation for tge uh it's a really good post and and i'm i was going to talk about it
today in my space as well um yeah do you want i'll go grab it now do you want to uh give us a quick
tldr i will pull it up on give me 30 seconds i'll have it pulled up on the screen yeah so right now
it looks like so they are doing testing uh they're doing a lot of testing in the background they're
they're they're bringing on traders they're looking for active traders that want to help
participate in uh you know in in testing some of these products so if you are interested in that
make sure you comment on that tweet um and even at adam even though you commented because it does
have 546 comments uh make sure that you get
in there because the OpenSea mobile testing is underway and it's fantastic. But they're looking
at that. They're adding those products. Then on top of that, they talked about the historical
volume use is still going to be very much know, very much so meaningfully considered.
They talked about how they are preparing for TGE.
You know, it's going to be happening soon.
Soon, I don't know.
It's just me.
I'm just, I'm excited, bro.
And, you know, the transparency from the team, top notch. I mean, these guys, Adam's always in the Discord.
He pops in there randomly, answers questions.
And I'm very bullish on these guys.
And plus, me and the founder have the same first name,
so I can't argue with that.
But yeah.
Learn his real name.
I just thought your real name was Jesus,
and you went with Jesus in the NFT brand or arena.
I mean we you
know you're talking about the changes and the seeming shifted abstract i i'm not saying i'm
not trying to go pvp here but yeah it's it's if you've been in this space it's hard not to notice
the investment that open sea has made in people yes i'm I'm biased. No, I'm not glazing Steve because
he's in the room. He's one of my best friends. He co-hosts the show for 1000 episodes. Do I think
OpenSea acquired a superstar? Yeah, absolutely. And it's not just Steve, it's Adam. And there's
so many other people on the team that because of Adam and Steve and my relationship with them,
I got to know more. It's like, it's not just Adam and Steve, there's a lot of rock stars on that
team that's kind of behind the scenes. And some of you may not know, but many of them are not just deep in crypto and web three,
they're professionals. They have backgrounds that is they're really building a strong leadership
team. Are they going to be perfect? Are they gonna make everyone happy? No, but there's been a,
it's been a, it's a one 80 since I'm not saying it's just adam obviously they acquired you know we're
talking acquisitions it was jim.xyz thank you paying for that uh it wasn't just it wasn't just
adam or jim xyz acquisition they acquired the floor app or became rally and and and got chris
and christina and that team with that like they they brought on a lot of talent and
team with that, like they brought on a lot of talent and they're there. They are listening.
They are communicating better. Yes. I'm not just biased towards my friends, but I'm biased towards
crypto native brands that prioritize professionals and no offense to the web three internship
posters of the world. Those have a place as well but i've been
we've been saying for years that it the lowest hanging fruit for a lot of these crypto data
brands is to bring on individuals that have professional backgrounds in particular
communications and pr and and marketing and they're they've done that i've got adam suite
pulled up here if you're not uh looking at the video i'll just do a quick uh quick quote here
he said gm y'all with the new year, I wanted to share an update on what's coming at OpenSea. We've been heads down building,
testing, and refining. There's a lot cooking. We've been battle testing our new products.
Behind the scenes, we've been spending a ton of time with active traders and collectors,
giving their feedback to help shape OS mobile and hyperliquid perps. We can't wait to get these in
your hands, all these assets, all your positions, all your wallets, all your chains, all in one
place, all in your pocket. By the way, if you're interested in helping us, drop a note below.
You should connect and link your wallets on OpenSea. First, this will enable a magical
experience with OS Mobile, where you'll be able to manage your entire combined portfolio.
Second, with TGE on the horizon, it'll give Foundation a holistic view of your on-chain
history and connect current activity, otherwise dormant wallets. Preparation for the Foundation's
TGE is well underway. Lots happening on this front. Everyone is rallying to get it right. A reminder that
historical volume will be meaningfully considered by the foundation, as will treasures from our
rewards program, which will continue through TGE with half our fees going into the prize pool each
wave. Thank you for your feedback and support. Yeah, appreciate you calling attention to that.
I had not missed it, but now that we figured out this alpha on X to uncheck all those interests that I've never been interested in,
hopefully my X feed actually serves up posts like this that I actually would like to see in the future.
Bro, I'm still looking at this.
Like, this is a mess over here.
Entertainment awards, entertainment franchises, entertainment industry.
What I think it does is it takes keywords, and it's just adding it in there constantly is what I think it does is it takes keywords and it's just adding it in there
constantly is what i think it's doing like things that you type is what i think it's it's like
things you may have but i don't know high school musical i never fucking look up high school
musical what the hell my fake like this is this is actually i do want to see this this is like uh
this is not an engagement uh or here. I'm actually genuinely curious.
Go click that link from carbon up top.
Go look at your quote unquote interest that X thinks you're interested in and drop in
the chat.
The most absurd, ridiculous one right now.
Risk.
Brian is the clubhouse leader.
Risk.
Brian had an interest.
Their ex thought he was interested in artistic swimming.
Like, I don't know if like, like like what could you even possibly talk about for to
make x think you were interested in artistic swimming like maybe synchronized swimming during
the olympics a few years ago that's like that's the only thing i can possibly think like what
is it in our like i guess that's what artistic swimming is i have no idea but i'm not i'm not
knocking wrists like if you're into some weird you know hobbies by all means go be an artistic
swimmer but um let us know what is the most random
off the wall, quote unquote, interest that x thinks you're interested in. Drop that in the
chat. Because yeah, it is my my jaw dropped when I opened mine. I'm like, what in the world?
Because some of it's like ridiculous, absurd stuff. Some of the others is like, I can't,
I have no idea what it is. I can't fathom ever engaging with that thing, ever mentioning that thing.
It's just, it's really bad.
And if that actually does have any impact on our algorithm,
well, let's hope it does
and we can clean it up pretty quickly.
Last point, Jesus,
and if there's any other airdrops or anything we missed,
I do appreciate you coming up today and sharing.
And also, please do, if you got your upcoming space,
if you want to plug it, drop it up above.
At least we can do to return the favor for you helping to bring some extra alpha today would love to support other
fellow content oh i do have a question for you before i go to this next one yeah is there anything
i should be doing or other content creators should be doing specific to abstract other than streaming
is there in in the z tournaments is there anything else that we should be focused on
or at least taking a look at
when it comes to creating content
on or around or for Abstract?
I think if you're wanting to advance
in the different tiers to be GigaChad
and Graduated EliteChad,
those types of things,
is finding what you like on Abstract
and then creating content around that um you know
like i you know and i'm not saying this to anybody in here to try and get it whether anybody in here
is listening or not like i have been i've been trying to get giga chad for me for a year and
haven't gotten it yet it'll come at some point but it's like, you know, and these,
these are massive achievements that's plus 75%.
And then you got to have graduated elite Chad before it.
So that's a hundred percent more XP you would get each week, you know?
So it's, it's very, very big. And, um, you know,
so I would say just try and find stuff that you like.
I mean, there's so many different apps, so many different things over here.
Just get in and find stuff that you may like.
And a lot of the things are very minimal cost.
You know, quit wasting.
The trenches aren't back.
Quit wasting money on buying 10K shitters.
Take that little bit of money, come to a product that I think, you know,
is going to be pushed really well, you know, this year.
And invest some of that money over there.
You have great teams with Bearish.
Those guys are really good and they help a lot of people on the abstract side.
You have Seed Frays over there with Wolf Game, which is like, you know, are really good and they help a lot of people in on the abstract side you have seed phrase over
there with wolf game um which is like you know i understand it's the 900th iteration it's like wolf
games almost borderline turning into my ladies because there's so many variations of of this so
but like you know do that try and get your on-chain transactions up because that, I think, is going to be very important.
I think right now I'm at 59,455 transactions on Abstract.
Wow.
And if you want to see how many transactions you've got on Abstract, there's probably a couple ways.
This is Alpha from Beepic in the chat.
Go to Abscan, copy your address in the search bar,
then click analytics and you can see your activity by week, day. Here's what he's got pulled up.
The one I pulled up, this is, I believe this is Beepic. He's screenshotted here. 157,000
transactions. That's ridiculous. Active for 346 days. Unique active days, 331. Not sure what
the difference is there, uh longest streak 269
days and it gives you the heat map here of of that activity i wholeheartedly agree stop i think a lot
of people maybe went there early and they started buying nfts or they started buying shitters and
then their bags went down like forget this i'm out this isn't worth it i'm losing money buying
stuff that is down 50% the next day.
You don't have to buy things.
Go find something.
Maybe you're not in the prediction markets.
Go find something there that you are.
It doesn't have to be everything.
Find one thing on the chain, ideally something that you can double or triple dip on.
But I do think, or don't, but if you're there, I think as we start getting closer to these TGEs, there probably is something to be said for remaining active, getting active, getting reengaged.
If you did a lot of OpenSea activity in 21, 22, 23, it might behoove you to reengage so that they can see, oh, this person is still around.
They're still active.
I don't know this, but maybe there is a β one criteria is like, oh, they did a transaction in every year since 2021.
If you haven't done anything since in the 14 days in 2026, I'm making this up.
I have no idea, but I β it can't hurt, especially if it's something that is little or no cost.
So the other thing β I don't know if you see the abstract chat right
now, but Jesus, but yeah, I'm watching it between abstract chat and, uh, in the end of, in our,
our DJ in war room, we might now have a competition over groups of people buying these socks. They,
so I apologize. Nice. Do it. If we inadvertently pump the socks floor but uh some some real alpha here on uh on uh
hey if everybody just does it as a group instead of going and buying
did i uh my my favorite thing sorry i had a call that's okay i had a call come through
my favorite thing i just saw as i went to go check is Steve Hurd, and he went to check one of his interests that Twitter has identified for him
as Ben Shapiro.
That might be β right now he's leapfrogged wrist Brian.
Steve has the best interest as per X in the chat.
See if you can beat Ben Shapiro in your X interest.
We've got artistic swimming and Ben Shapiro are the top two,
quote-unquote, non-interest so far.
But yeah, there is, this is exciting, right?
We're heating up, markets are ripping, we're going to have some TGEs.
Even if you've not been active every single day, even if your activity doesn't look like the epics,
I would encourage you all to at least consider
at least evaluate, at least have a plan or a strategy and think, okay, this is coming,
this is coming, this is coming. I'm going to go, I want to spend some time on this,
this one thing I'm interested in. You don't, you don't have to do them all, but the ones,
I don't know how well the open CT,
I'd be making it up if I knew how well it was going to do.
I don't know how well the abstract TG is going to do.
I just don't know.
But what I do know is I respect the teams.
I know they've been around for a while.
I know they're not fly by night.
And I also feel pretty confident they're not going anywhere post TG.
So as you look at these lists of,
this is just one, the first one I found when I searched,
there's well more than 40, but you can find a lot of lists.
Oh, there's 40 airdrops coming.
Find ones that you're at least aware of.
Like I'm on record.
I'm a very bullish megaeath.
I'm really excited to explore that ecosystem and other dApps inside that ecosystem like euphoria.
What I'm not going to do today, unless someone gives me a good reason, I'm not going not going to go start farming raiku and rallio and fair block just because they're on some list
i have no idea what they are i have for all i know it could be a a rug pull it could be a scam
i'm not saying it is please don't take this out of context i'm just saying i'm here every day
and half of these on this list i'd have to guess to even tell you what they might be i've never
heard of them i I don't know.
Maybe that's a leak in my game, but I don't care.
I'm not trying to farm every TGE this quarter.
I want to at least do the bare minimum to qualify,
to position myself for the ones that I think might have a shot.
And if I end up focusing on the one, if I just,
if I did nothing but those three mega ETH open C and uh
an abstract now I'm doing more but let's say it was just those three and one of the three ends
up being a home run I'm going to be happy I did conversely if I know in my head those are three
that I pay attention to it's three that I'm going to participate in three three teams that I I have
confidence in and I don't do the bare minimum and then then the TG isn't being a print. I'm going to be pissed off. Like I'm going to be on full tilt. So part of this is,
Hey, I want to position myself to be quote unquote lucky. It's also kind of a defensive play that
I don't want to be having FOMO come TGE because I didn't, I just ignored it. Or I was lazy with
my on-chain activity. Is there anything, whether it's on this list or any others, we haven't
mentioned Jesus that you, that's in you, that's top of your radar beyond the big ones we just mentioned? Anything else that
you want to give a shout out to in terms of upcoming TGEs or active farms?
No. I mean, I really just focus on those things within Abstract and some of those other brands.
Like if you like DeFi, there's a Borean finance there where you can go in,
you know, you can stake liquidity in there,
add liquidity, play that whole, you know,
the whole DeFi game over there
and still get abstract rewards that way.
I would imagine they'll, you know,
this is web three.
So nine times out of 10,
there's going to be a token associated
with a product that
comes out you know you just have to be able to do the research and figure out you know but you know
is this a brand that i want to support do i want to even waste my time here uh and and participate
in it and what is the future past the tge exactly you know and when i see adam's post he ends it with like basically these waves are
going to continue post tge we're going to continue rewarding we're not you know we're not going to
just keep the 50 bump that we did we're going to keep rewarding people that are actively using the
platform and you know and and that's in my mind is a good thing. And OpenSea is pretty much, you know, it's my home for NFTs.
I don't really mess around anywhere else.
Other than that, you know, just still waiting on some other things that, you know, that I've invested in, you know, a while back to come to fruition.
That's smart.
Yeah, that's smart.
No, I really appreciate you sharing.
Again, if you've got a link to NextSpace, do please drop that up up above or just shout it out right i know you stream five days a week is there
is a regular recurring time yeah it's 11 a.m uh 11 a.m eastern um and i'll pin the tweet up for
today's post uh for for today's stream and it gets chaotic trust you me it's not as as um it's not as organized as you do here.
We keep it that way.
We try.
But we get some unhinged people come on stage sometimes,
and it gets a little crazy.
It keeps it fun.
Yeah, it keeps it fun.
You're live here on X as well as streaming on Abstract, right?
Yeah, X, Abstract, and Kick as well.
Awesome.
Tell me about Kick.
Yeah. Should I be a kick as well. Awesome. Tell me about, yeah. Should, should I be, we've, we're really focusing. We want to grow our YouTube
account this year. That's a key focus of distribution for us. Sell me on kick for a
minute. If you want, why, if I'm going to do one thing other than YouTube, why kick over Twitch or
some people mentioned LinkedIn live? Yeah. For me, it's just like I'm streaming. I have destinations through StreamYard
where I can send it to. So it's like, if I can get more and more people, if I can just reach one
new person a day, like that's, that's good for me. If I can reach five, then that's fantastic.
And whether it brings them in to buy anything that I'm talking about or any of my interests or my bags or even if it helps
onboard them onto abstract or something else that in the future like you know introduces things to
them that they never knew about uh then then cool uh for me kick is kind of in line with my partner, Toshi Bet. So, you know, I do streaming over there.
So that's kind of more so the reason.
But, like, even you see, like, Farouk and them, they move to kick.
And they still stream on X.
I think if you can put your platform on as many, you know,
if you can put your brand on as many platforms as possible,
there's nothing wrong with it. You know what I mean? Um, yeah, it's spreading the audience out,
but if you have a home base for them to go to, uh, then, then you're good to go.
I'm curious if you don't mind me asking, we're getting a little into the weeds here and creator
content, but I appreciate you jumping up and, I am truly curious. Do you talk about spreading your
audience? Do you that is that that is probably the biggest reason for us to not go with all
these platforms, then you end up with five people in this chat, five people in this chat, and then
you got all these different chats, you're managing live, not that it's not doable, but we run around
me. I mean, pain is the, the, the glue behind the
scenes, but as far as managing all these different chats can be challenging, especially if it doesn't
pull back into the stream yard feed, like you mentioned is I guess any, any suggestions there
or do you do, does kick and everything pull into stream yard and you just, you're managing
stream yard plus app? No, bro. I'm flipping through. I am flipping through different tabs all the time because, you know, StreamYard only brings in your it'll bring in your kick, your YouTube.
And I think Twitch is also on there, but like X is not on there. Abstract is definitely not on there.
So I have screens just split with multiple windows that are up to where i can see all three chats uh
at the same time and then i'm just trying my best uh to talk to people to manage it and you know see
you know try and stay engaged with them at the same time as hosting a space so i will say this
uh one thing that abstracted is they now sort their recommended
streams by live listeners and copy the captain popping in the first spot over there so appreciate
y'all appreciate everyone ever listening and tuning into abstract uh i'm watching you right
now why why did you change the background what happened like where where are you at in the closet
you mean right now like as far as
what you might have saw in the bat in the past yeah yeah in the past you had your tv you had the
whole blue screen in the background you were like in an office yep good call i have been um i've been
for all intents and purposes homeless for about six months i airbnb'd it for a while traveled
around a little bit and um i did i kid you not though it's funny you ask i wasn't going to say
anything but i actually picked up keys yesterday so i'll probably be moving a little bit of stuff this week get the
u-haul over the weekend clear out the storage unit and actually come monday i should be settled back
in a proper office and we'll throw some things behind it to make it look more like an actual
streamer not just a closet nice yeah no i didn't know what was happening it looked like a ransom
video at times i was like what happened to captain i didn't know i didn't know what was happening it looked like a ransom video at times
i was like what happened to captain i didn't know i didn't know what was going on so yeah i had the
virtual background up people really thought i got kidnapped they thought it was a ransom video
oh my god yeah for the long i just moved back into my house and for over a year i streamed in
my garage but i built an entire fake wall behind okay and
people didn't even know i was in my garage and then i took a picture of it all and you can see
my lawnmower in the garage door and all the shit and and i was so now i'm actually in an office
and i'm you know it's it's the best feeling ever to to have your space really excited to get settled
i like i have enjoyed the flexibility
i've enjoyed traveling around i've enjoyed a lot of things but i'm i am excited to get
i'm very much so a routine habit driven person and this is fine but i just really much so looking
forward to the next chapter which which you know starts this week next monday and i'm pretty
excited so thanks for all the kind words, Crypto Slam. Appreciate you over in the chat. Appreciate the
tip over there, as well as be epic. My lunches, maybe dinners are going to continue to be paid
for by the generosity coming from Abstract. Also, Danny giving you some love over there.
It says, Reality Check is the space to go every day. It's hilarious. Again, 11 o'clock here on X,
on Abstract, go hit that reminder up top.
Even if you can't make it 11, go show Jesus some love for his time in Alpha today was the reminder on the space.
And we also did appreciate the insight over there.
Thank you very much.
I had to look.
I couldn't see the...
Maddo.
Maddo, Maddo, thank you very much.
Appreciate the Pingu.
We had a,
we had some news this morning. I got to scroll back up because the abstract chat's been popping off so much. The, at 830, we got core, core PPI, core retail sales, PPI and the, the TLDR.
I'll see if I can go find a link here in a minute or an article,
but it says, CryptoSkin1 says retail sales slightly up, which is bad for crypto,
core PPI slightly down, which is good for crypto.
So do with that what you will.
I don't know.
It doesn't look like markets have responded too much off of it.
It's just been choppy this morning after being up pretty big overnight in the last 24 hours.
We will get into a quick market update here in a second.
Although, before I move on, we also had a question from CryptoScam, who's dialed in and well-connected.
It says, not real familiar with MegaEF.
Should I be?
I'm biased.
I do hold a fluffle
which was an nft that was uh has some token allocation i also got in one of their last
rounds so i'm biased i do have a bag i have a financial interest however i am very bullish
on mega eef i'm really excited for it to go live for many reasons i see brett out there i'm not
just a fan of and i think he's a great, you know, talking about those professionals,
but someone I would call a friend in the space. And it's not just Brad, it's the team and how they've been moving pre-launch, where they've been working with a lot of their builders.
They've been having, they call it the Mega ETH Mafia. They've been having hacker houses and
having these builders, I don't know if it's 10, 12 groups of builders come together for a month,
live together in a house, build together.
MegaEth has funded some of these ventures, and they are launching like day one.
I'm not β again, I'm not trying to make this PBE, but I was β Monad was a recent anticipated blockchain that launched.
They're going to be fine.
They raised a ton of money.
I actually β one of my contrarian takes, I think MegaEth will have β or I'm sorry.
I think Monad will have a comeback towards the end of this year after people kind of forget about him or chalk him off for dead.
When they launched, though, it was like the basics, you know, yeah, you could swap.
There was just nothing to do.
Like the game I was playing every day to have some activity was a beer pong game.
And it was basically, it was Death.Fun re-skinned on Monad with BeerPong instead of Death.Fun.
Not knocking them, but conversely, what makes me so bullish about MegaEath is when they launch, they've got not one, not two, not three, multiple dApps, multiple apps that are new.
They're unique.
They're novel.
They're on-chain, and also from the tech itself, they will be one of, if not the most performant blockchain at launch, like touting 100,000 plus TPS.
And it's a, you'll see on-chain games that'll look and feel like Web2 games on-chain. So I am excited and optimistic that we'll also see new stuff launched after developers see how
performant it is. I think we'll see maybe some new things we haven't thought of because people,
oh, you can't do that on chain. It just doesn't work. That's my quick mega ETH plug. But yes,
again, I am biased. But for those of you that are deep in the space, I think it would be worth
putting on your radar and paying attention. Thank you for all the kind words on Helpful Soul and Crypto Scam for the
congrats on the move and the keys. Yes, appreciate it. Excited. More pool days coming soon. Although
maybe not because I'm a softie since I moved to Florida five or six years ago. And we're looking
at like freezing, like literally freezing weather this
weekend. Friday is supposed to be in the twenties or thirties. So if I don't show up Friday morning,
it's because I've, I've frozen and haven't, uh, I've got to dethall myself before I get on the
show. But, um, I digress. That said, I do want to get into a, before I get into a market update,
is there anything else that we didn't hit on, on alpha on farming on airdrops on anything launching soon or anything else that's caught
your attention that you wanted to share before i do a quick and you don't have to go anywhere i
just i do want to get a market update and talk about these what exactly is ripping and then we
will continue the convo but anything we didn't hit on yet that you wanted to uh give a shout out or
call some attention to um no i mean there's there's all
kinds of crap out there but no nothing nothing nothing right off the top of my mind again thanks
thanks for joining us appreciate you coming up and definitely added to the conversation without a
doubt uh yeah i guess it's gonna be colder in texas than florida so i won't i won't feel that
bad here is you know what i'm gonna give a free plug. I'm feeling generous today.
So we're going to give a free plug to our friends over at Awaken Tax.
This is not a sponsored market update, but I've got a quick 20-second, 19-second intro here.
So I'm going to play this, and then we will get to what is ripping in the market in about 19 seconds.
It's market update time.
It's set to play.
Powered by Awaken, the smart tax way. From quick road flips to deep out stacks. They keep it clean. I know I said I was going to go right into the market update. I'm going to just next, but related to the farms, I do have one that I pinned up top,
very low effort.
Maybe nothing comes of it, but one of those that it's no capital risk.
It's just clicking buttons.
This could be something.
Maybe it's nothing.
I don't know i've got like no expectations
but it's one of those you know fits into the bucket of very low effort very low capital
usually those don't pan out but sometimes they do it's e gas and i will show you
mine is actually still my gas report is still loading. Yeah, I was wondering what yours was.
I've got 4,500 adventures.
I think every time I go off the tab, it resets maybe or puts me in the back of the queue.
I'm not exactly sure, but this is, basically, it's a GUI report.
The token's going to be GUI.
It is a, you connect your, at minimum, you connect your X, you connect a wallet, you run a gas report.
There's other quests and things you can do.
I may or may not do that.
You can refer people.
That is my ref link up top, so you're helping me out a little bit.
You can see I've got 40 beans over here because it's not completed my actual gas report yet.
You can see it's still, I've got ventures ahead of me in queue.
But I started it yesterday.
It just hasn't completed. So I think you might have to keep it open uh for the time did you complete
yours what was your gas spent yeah i did this a while back uh total gas spent right now is 37.2688
e i'm gonna i'm gonna guess mine's probably in the same range. My gut says over, but it's probably close.
I would say probably within five E, give or take.
I burnt the crypto punk in gas.
Like a nice punk too.
A punk and a ape and a punchy.
Yeah, it hurts a lot more when you say it.
Jeez.
Yeah.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
I mean, the reason we did it to ourselves is because we were, most of those burns were very profitable.
But there was definitely some that weren't.
There was definitely some that,
especially if you round trip some bags after burning a lot of gas,
that's the question.
Yeah.
I remember the doodles, man, and it was so chaotic.
And gas was just so insane.
I think I had like nine or 10 ETH in my wallet.
And I was like, oh, I'm going to,
like this will be go through no problem. so insane i think i had like nine or ten ether in my wallet and i was like i'm gonna think this
will be go through no problem but i have screenshots where gas was like 60 000 80 000 because it was
throwing up such wild numbers because the the spike was so high uh on that mint and it was yeah
it was nuts if you weren't around here i know it's hard to even get your brain around that when you
look at glee right now is 0.4 like it's in the decimals i never thought that would even be possible because of how extreme gas was when i
entered the space in 21 22 it was yeah it was and it wasn't i know a lot of people liking to talk
about the other side man it wasn't just the other segment that was the most extreme example was the
most anticipated nft men of all time and you had you know 50 000 people going for this to where we
were paying multiple eth and gas on one min alone but some of the others i had like punks comic 2
i think i made it 10 or 20 of those things and probably paid a few ethan gas but still made a
profit because we were mitting them for i don't know 0.1 and selling them for 0.5 it was it's
just things were it was absolutely a bubble thing it was a different time, man.
It was so much fun, though.
We would set alarms at 2 to 5 in the morning
just to get up to do these Ponzinomic games
because gas was cheaper at 2 or 3 in the morning.
We were still spinning over in Ethan Gas
to send these fucking pirates on a mission
to go fucking get whatever.
fun times though.
Yeah,
it was a blast.
I actually,
I know this is also a contrarian take,
not popular with everyone.
I miss the gas wars.
I love the gas wars.
It was to me,
it made mints more of a skill game where it wasn't just,
you had to be in the know or you had to get an allow list.
I would much prefer a gas war than the discord calisthenics or you got to do these hundred
things it was i really enjoyed it like it it got my blood flowing it it got you know
there was a chance now it got to the point where if you didn't get the minute you really weren't
burning anything the transaction would just fail but there was some where you might have lost you
know everything you sent in if you didn't if you didn't hit and
got to the point we were meeting on contract and it was just it felt like i don't know it just i
did enjoy it and it also made enough teammates a game of skill beyond just getting lucky and
pulling a rare or sniping some good traits like sniping it reveal like it was it was a lot of fun
and i don't know we'll never get back
to exactly that period in time and we'll never have gas like that again unless i'm missing
something but yeah i do i do miss a little bit uh awaken text is go to be epic use code coffee
50 for 50 off if you're a new user or return coffee 50 if you're a returning user also get 50 $50 off. Again, not a sponsor post. I'm not
showing them. It's just, it's the best software, best tax software, in my opinion. And if you're
in the need for tax software, you may as well say 50 bucks. So happy to pass that along. Shout out
to the WakenTax team for providing us with those codes. And we may do another campaign with them
here as we get closer to actual tax season. But again, that's just sharing something that I believe is best in class and a valuable tool for many of you.
Not just to prepare your taxes, but help you with tax loss harvesting and stuff like that as we come towards end of years.
That said, moving into the actual market update here, we're going to start with memes today.
And we'll kind of fly through this. But you can see Doge up 4%, SHIB up a percent,
Pepe up almost 10% of the day, meme core down 4%. To this day, I still don't know what meme core is,
but it's the one that trades inverted to the market most days. It's down 4.2%. Trump up 2%, Bonk up 5%, Pingu up 5%, SPX up 1%. I haven't checked on a Murad for a while.
He's completely fell off my timeline.
I don't know if he's ever on TikTok doing videos or what,
but respect for not dumping his bags and holding through the bear.
Floki up 3%, Fartcoin up 7%.
Congratulations, Zane.
Dog with Hat up 7%.
And I'm guessing this is over on Appster because I can't read it.
It's in Chinese.
I believe it's Chinese anyways, up 41% on the day.
And that's the 13th largest coin by market cap.
Heading over to, I'm going to delete the filters.
We'll go to our majors and take a look at those.
I would say Bitcoin, I think it's still going to show up.
Yeah, up 4% on the day.
Slight pullback this morning, but a big day there.
ETH leading the charge up 5.67% to $3,300.
XRP up 3%.
BNB up 3%.
Solana up 2%.
Tron up a percent.
I mentioned Doge up almost 5%.
Cardano up 5%.
Now, this is now I'm going to get the, even though I unchecked ADA cryptocurrency, my ex-interest because I set it on a space, it's going to throw it back on there.
Monero leaning into the privacy meta up 6% of the day.
Bitcoin Cash down a percent.
Chainlink up 4%.
Hyperliquid, that was the one I wanted to get to, up 6% of the day.
And Zcash also up a percent.
Good day there.
I think equally as exciting is seeing some of this movement of the NFTs.
I don't know what's going on.
Good Vibes Club, not only is it programmed for one ETH,
someone said the other day,
and I thought they were crazy when I first read it or first saw it.
I don't think it's too crazy anymore.
Someone said Good Vibes Club is going to five ETH.
I think it's too crazy anymore. Someone said Good Vibes Club's going to 5 ETH. I think it might.
I haven't had FOMO like this for a long time
on an NFT collection.
And it is, it's not just up 8% in the day.
It's been up like 8 to 10% every day for the last week, I feel.
I think in the last week, it's went from like 0.4, 0.5 up to 0.87.
And part of that, what is not, you don't see here in this number,
is it just ripped through a massive sell wall from the strategy wallet
that had like 300 or 400 good vibes in it.
And they all sold.
And I thought it would stall out there.
It just plowed right through the sell wall and continued to scream up.
And now you have, in a bull market, when things are moving up, the flywheel is actually flywheel.
And it's going to be very curious to see not just Good Vibes Club.
You can also see Chimpers is up to 0.8.
It's up 14% of the day.
Those are the two that really leaned into the strategy token as their ecosystem token,
didn't drop another fungible token, rather supported and threw all their support behind the strategy token and so far it seems to be a pretty wise move
we'll be curious to see moonbirds is the next big one with a token coming as far as nft collections
go they have a strategy token but they're launching their own ecosystem token uh burb is coming soon
i think there was some new stuff on that as well i I maybe should go find a Spencer tweet if it is actionable or relevant. Other NFTs, though, before we move on, Punks flat,
29. Basically, yes, Chasis and myself both, we burnt a CryptoPunk in our NFT trading days
in the form of gas. Pudgy's up 5%, or I'm sorry, down a percent to 5.1. I mentioned Good Vibes
Clubs absolutely ripping up to 0.87. Apes are up to 5.88, up 2% on the day. Hyper is down a percent.
Moonbird's up 2% to 2.03. Little Pudgies down a percent to 0.57. VFriends continue their surge
up 6% to 1.28. BX Terminal is a favored OpenSea Farm. Miladyady maker up 2.7 percent to 1.22 chimpers
as i mentioned up 14 to 0.8 mutants down a little bit to 0.82 uh down a percent on the day clonex
uh down 10 percent of the day but still holding that 0.32 mark after the following the acquisition
azuki at 0.8 uh down 2.1 percent of the day i'm gonna pause there we also have cryptodes
mochaverse um but azuki down two percent at 0.8 has now been flipped but i'm not making a pvp i'm
just i'm just stating facts i'm just talking numbers been flipped by not only mutant apes
flipped by chimpers or i guess it's the same price. Izuki and Chimper's are the same now.
And Good Vibes Club, flipping Izuki.
Jesus, I'm going to go right back to you.
And if you don't mind, I would love if I could just hand you the mic for, say, 60 seconds.
I'll mute my video, and then I'll just got to go a quick mobile stream drop.
I'm going to reheat the coffee, and I'll be right back.
Do you give me, like, 60 seconds of air cover?
Yeah, I got you um yeah because one one of the biggest things that
has um it really hasn't surprised me a lot but genuine undead uh genuine undead right now you're
seeing it at 23.25 percent up uh floor price is sitting at 0.16 e top, top offer 0.133 ETH.
Well, 0.1290 ETH now.
But, you know, this is up probably, I would say, like 120%, 130% from where it was because, you know, a lot of, just a lot of activity within the community. And for those of you who don't know,
Genuine Undead, CTO'd.
If I'm remembering right,
I get so much information from people on it.
CTO'd shortly after the artist had handed over things to the community.
But I mean, big sales,
way above floor price,
0.488, 0.50 ETH.
So we got a half ETH sales yesterday had big, big sales as well.
So that community is really, you know, stepping things up.
And it's just such an organic rise because they don't have, you know, they don't have a Spencer there or a Luca or someone like that, you know, pumping things for them.
It's the community.
It's the vibes.
And, you know, they do have a token strategy.
I'm not sure where that's at.
I did have token works pulled up here so I could find it.
But even, you know, for the most part, you know,
I do know that strategy coin itself is, you know,
it's held its own amongst some big monsters in the space.
So really proud of the GU community there.
And if you guys have never, you know been in the discord i advise you to go
in the discord a great group of people uh yeah their their market cap said 164k um so they have
burned eight percent of the supply of their token so yeah so shout out to all the genuine undead
family out there as well yeah good good
call out and that's one that probably doesn't get enough i actually i don't think i knew it was cto
i think i might have heard that but wasn't um yeah for whatever reason that doesn't stick out
in my head as a oh yeah that's a that's a cto love to see it i do yeah the token strategy uh
collections or tokens pulled up here punk Punk strategy at $35 million.
Vibester at $7 million or $7.6 million.
That's up 12% a day.
Chimpers, Chimp strategy up 26% a day to 4.83.
Ape strategy even up 11% of the day to 1.16.
Pingu down a little bit.
I'm sorry, not Pingu.
Pudgy strategy.
Burb strategy up a little bit.
Painster, this is one that I think is also a sleeper.
Maybe I'm wrong here on the pain strategy.
I just, Xcopy is one that has leaned into the Burns many times throughout his career.
And my speculation, I hold a little bit of pain strategy purely on speculation that at some point he might do a collection like Burn,
not just a, you know, one of his his other pieces one of his conditions or something but i think there
could be a chance for a uh we see some sort of x copy mint where the way to get into the mint is
you got to burn some pain strategy maybe not i'm pure speculation of any alpha i just i hold a
little bit of pain strategy like i say a little little, it's like $100 or $200 maybe you have to check. But it's up 6% of the day, just over a million.
There are several here.
But I think this is not for all.
It's not a guarantee.
But clearly, clearly, Vibe strategy, Chimp strategy has performed well.
You mentioned the burn.
16% of that Vibe strategy token has already been burned.
This went live. That already been burned this went live
that's why this went live a few months ago is that right like yeah it's not been in the market
that long it's already 16 of the total supply has been burned chip strategies 12 of the total
supply has been burned that's a big deal december 13th is when it went live crazy it's when one
month 16 of the total supply maybe that's not to say no maybe it doesn't
continue oh shit no hold on i'm sorry i was looking at genuine undead hold on i'm sorry
sorry wrong information let me go look over here real quick sorry god almighty uh we are october
9th so there you go still um four months a little over four months, 16% of the supply.
Let's just say math continues on and 4% gets burned every month.
Well, shoot, fast forward a year from now, and you're talking over half the supply has been burned.
Like maybe the flywheel doesn't keep flying, but I think it's much more likely that Flywheel does Flywheel
things in a bull market.
When number goes up, it's going to go up on both ends, and things could get really exciting.
I am β part of my β just my makeup, part of my strategy is I hate chasing.
As soon as Good Vibes Club broke through that, like, we'll say 0.69-ish wall, I was like,
oh, this is going to run, and it has.
I should have bought right then because I had a couple.69 ish wall. I was like, oh, this is going to run. And it has, I should have bought right then.
Cause I had a couple, when I saw the wall, I decided to sell a few and it was the right
decision.
The floor did pull back.
It didn't make it cause it stalled out.
It had, you know, halted momentum.
It dipped back to like 0.45, but I didn't reenter as I was planning to.
And so I didn't want to FOMO buy waiting for a pullback.
So far the pullback hasn't happened it's every day
has been up another eight ten percent and now FOMO is really kicking in because I this is one I
I love the team I I could rock my honorary but that's not what I'm going to be selling so
as far as a trading opportunity might it's money making season. Memes are back up. We've got not just the white whale.
What's the whale that ran up to a couple hundred million?
Yeah, it's white whale.
Not only white whale ran up to a couple hundred million,
there's been several others that ran up to 10, 20, 50 million.
And same thing with these NFTs.
Like, it very well could be money-making season once again
and at least worth paying attention to this stuff if you're around here.
Not a bad question, Ego Rui.
I just don't know.
We don't know when abstract TGE is going to be.
Do you have a guess on that, Jesus?
If you were to just β no one's going to hold you to it,
but any guesses when you think abstract TGE might hit?
Maybe March.
March, April.
Maybe, I would say.
I'm going to give myself more outs and just say Q2.
I think Q2 is likely.
Maybe they do get out in Q1, but I would guess between April and June would be my guess.
We don't really know.
It's not even been, as far as I know, it's not even really been teased as to when it might be.
But that is a fire, that's a fire good vibes club, by the way.
No, that's what I sold pre-reveal.
Oof, oof.
It's the worst.
Hold on.
Hold on, this is my first time seeing this trait.
This is my first time seeing this trait.
They have a Captain Chilla trait.
They have a Captain Chilla trait?
Bro.
That is like, that's my biggest loss of last year.
Goddamn.
Is selling that.
I'm going to spend an ETH on an NFT that I said.
Yeah.
I sold that for 0.105 weath.
I weathed it.
And the highest sale on it right now has been three the guy could probably list
it and get four and a half to five east there was one that sold not long ago that was a ranger like
that do you because there's there's only so many i mean there's only two with this hell what that
what the jacket is called i'm looking at it right now it is pilot jacket light blue there's 12
uh there's 12 of these uh nfts with that that are listed right now oh no there's only one
listed at 1.49 and it has a pirate or a patch on its eye. Pilot.
So that.
Because all the jackets have something different.
I only want the one that says.
Yeah, this one says Captain Chilla.
Here, let me.
It's number 2481.
I'm about to drop the picture of it in your space.
So not only does it say Captain Chilla, but it also has like a eye patch which kind of goes with Captain.
Oh, yeah.
You know, it's got like a ball cap on.
Backwards hat.
Light blue denim
with the jacket.
That one's pretty smooth.
I can't believe I'm getting ready to spend five grand on it.
On a Tipsy Taco. Do we know Tipsy Taco?
Tipsy Taco, do you want to trade? How about, I'll trade you my identity. I'll trade you my
CaptainZ.Eth, my ENS.identity.
Ray from 9Gag, buy my Captain.Eth
so I can go parlay it into CaptainChilla here.
Tipsy Taco, that's who owns it.
Now I'm really FOMOing,
because had I known there was a Captain Chilla trait,
I probably would already have one in my wallet.
Yeah, but can you believe I'm such an asshole to sell that,
like, prior to reveal?
Like, it's the biggest miss.
It is the best Captain Chilla, not to rub it in, but yeah, I got the phone put up here. It is the biggest it is it is the best captain chilla not to rub it in but yeah i
got up here it is it is the best one yeah well thanks for rubbing it in
i saw the white ranger sold yesterday too yeah and that's what yeah that's what i was saying
yeah that white ranger i think it sold for like four and a half heat or something
i'm not sure if you can, it's probably a little kind of
small on the screen here, but that is the other thing that
is exciting about...
Oh, did you see who
bought the Captain Chilla?
It's going to make you feel worse or feel better.
Like just now?
Who owns it today? Oh, I don't know.
And I think they bought
it. I think it was yesterday.
You talking about the one that I owned?
Yep.
Oh, no, what?
Chris, the founder.
Chris has the one that I had?
Yep, owned by Chris Guy is the, is owns that.
Oh, shit, he does.
Yep.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, he said in one of my comments that he was going to go after it and get it.
He sure did.
Look at this guy here.
There's two of those helmets in the collection.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I wonder what I need to do for Chris to get that NFT back.
Hmm.
What do I need to do? I what if he needs his office clean just just just
screenshot the activity the on-chain activity and show him that you weaked it for 0.105 and
maybe he'll feel bad for you he will he'll feel bad for a second and then he'll say you know pick
up the vibes bro i mean to make you feel better you did it was a profitable flip the thing for what point 0.069 and flipped it for almost a 2x so oh you you made more on it than the next person the person
who bought it off of you only made 0.1 0.03 off of it so you did better than the person who bought
it off you yeah it's still brutal and then everything but man these are like this is what
makes nft trading fun and stressful at the same time.
And this is why I love NFTs.
I used to say, this is going to sound silly today because no one's really sweating reveals or selling pre-reveal.
But that was a real strategy.
It's like, okay, I'm going to admit five of these things.
It's going to run up into the reveal.
And I'm going to sell two or three of
them to get back my initial investment. And then I'm free rolling a three pack for, you know, I can
sell one if it really rips, I can sell the other one midway and I can hold one long term. The, the,
the strategy was though, it was just eyes forward. Never go. If you sold pre-reveal, don't go back
and look at the one that you sold pre-reveal because if you flip a one-on-one or something
ends up selling for three eat that you weed for 1.1 you might you might be down a little bit but he said actually
it wasn't a sale chris traded for that one because he has the red one as well uh for the double dip
curation so this is also he said he'll never trade it back at play he's obsessed yeah who said that mason uh yeah atari says he has the red one too no chance
door added yeah he traded for it because he had the red one uh atari and dort both said he'll
never trade it back no chance he's obsessed with it so yeah yeah he told me that in several comments
like several things that i posted about like getting rid of it. There is some alpha though. Shout out to Dort who is a king of the good vibes.
Dort says, make sure you shop Gandhi,
which aggregates that strategy ball and OpenSea listings
so you can see which ones are the strategy
because you get a, correct me if I'm wrong here,
it's still an active thing.
You get a badge if you buy one from the strategy wallet.
Is that accurate?
I think so.
Yeah.
KZ Consulting said that GVC is so me.
I'm a little shook right now
because I had zero plans of spending 1.5 ETH on an NFT
in the year 2026, let alone today.
And I may be making some moves post-show
to go make that move.
Well, as my friend
kyle down there or as he calls himself an idiot says we he thinks we're gonna look back a year
from now and say and slap ourselves for not buying gvc because he thinks you know he thinks they're
gonna be worth a lot of money he said he under one ETH right now, you're not buying.
He thinks it's a massive mistake.
I think the same.
As much as I tell myself I don't buy rips
and it's ripping over the past week,
it's a silly time to enter.
I honestly don't know if we get a pullback
because it's not just the floor.
It's not just a strategy.
If you look at the, it's what we just talked about there
and like a founder trading for a three ETH asset because he wants to collect it and hold it forever. It's not just
the founders. It's not just Adam Weitzman. Most of the sales are above floor. People are collecting
ones they want to collect not to flip because oh, I want this one in my vault. I want this one
because I get these badges like it is. They've really built an incredible community. You've got
a lot of collectors like Dort who will dort sell some sells some of his. I'm sure he will someday.
But he's not, I really don't think he collected
for a short-term flip.
It's a strong community.
And yeah, when I first read the take,
all good vibes, clever, on their way to 5E,
I kind of just brushed it off.
The more I think about it,
I'm kind of agreeing with the take,
especially if we actually do get a real NFT season, they're going to rip.
They might hit 10. If we get a real NFT season,
I'm not trying to get everyone's expectations.
Don't go buy a good vibes club because I said they could hit 10.
They could also go to 0.4 tomorrow.
I'm just saying there's a,
there's a lot more than just a random NFT collection.
There's a lot more than just the art, whether you like the art or not,
it's high quality art. A lot. lot it's it's the opposite of low effort
the details are incredible and the team is i don't try to put pressure on them i'll try to
use hyperboles i truly don't know if they've missed yet like they haven't had a big blunder
they haven't had a big mistake they haven't made a a massive miss where it's turned people off it's
led people to floor their assets and get out.
I'm sure some people have left because they didn't like something, but I can't think of one specific thing.
They're like, oh, I'm leaving because the team did this, or they're not communicating.
Yeah, there is no badge.
Just like I said, I told people there was an alpha and going buying a Clonex mint vial because it was plus EV and it actually wasn't because the mint was actually closed.
There's also no badge for those strategy NFTs.
Appreciate the clarification, but it will burn some vibes dirt.
But yeah, thank you very much for Dort and Ronnie for the clarification.
I saw Mason came up.
Mason, you may have jumped up to correct me on my bad take there that you could get a badge for that.
But feel free to take it whatever direction you'd like. I appreciate you joining us.
Hey, thanks for having me up. Yeah, I just wanted to jump up and clarify that.
Badges are definitely the alpha. You still get badges. Every GVC you collect will have badges associated with it.
you collect will have badges associated with it.
You know, they're kind of tied to the traits, but there is not a badge for buying, you know,
specifically the strategy listed vibes.
That being said, you know, if you go and you browse the strategy right now, the strategy
is underneath the OS floor price.
So definitely some advantageous opportunities
there i also wanted to give a huge shout out to dort because dort has become like the mass curator
of gvc so as much as i hope he sells some uh i think he's just gotten himself into this place
where he's just he's obsessed he is um yeah, again, he's king of the good vibes.
He is, it masks quite the collection.
I'm pumped for him, too, because he isn't wavered.
He minted them.
He minted a bunch at Mint.
He's continued to accumulate and collect,
and you just love to see it.
Not just because he's a friend, but.
Well, I mean, he's rocking the 101 champion of vibes,
and if there's anyone that, you know, demonstrates being the champion of vibes, it's Dort.
Not only in GVC, but I think, you know, among all the communities that he's a part of.
Wholeheartedly agree.
Couldn't agree more.
And truly love to see it.
I mean, I love to see it not just because of a friend.
I love to see when anyone, friend or foe, in this case a a friend makes a conviction play and their conviction is rewarded.
It doesn't always happen.
Sometimes you can make big bets and have big conviction and you made,
you had all the logical information,
right?
The team was strong and then some uncontrollable happened or who knows,
but I just,
it's,
I love to see when conviction plays are rewarded.
And this one certainly is.
But yeah, definitely alpha there that you can go get a strategy one below the current floor.
You've got a small arbitrage, about 0.1 ETH, but two of them listed at 0.86.
And by buying those, you're going to burn some Vibester as well.
So go collect what you want to collect.
No expectations here, but love to see the momentum.
And I really, Chris and Tyler have become a couple of my favorite founders in crypto.
And now I'd love to see Dort win in, but love to see that team win in as well.
One thing I haven't checked in a while, I'm going to go do this on the recent run-up,
because this might also surprise some people. And for everyone that said
royalties don't matter, royalties are dead. I said, no, they're not. They might be dead for you
because you didn't make proper changes. We are going to be talking about some ways that existing
collection could do that in the near future. The last time I looked at this chart, it was,
The last time I looked at this chart, it was, you know, we often see Good Vibes Club on the royalty leaders.
We don't often see them in the top collections by trading revenue, but right there they are,
just below Pudgies on the seven-day.
Actually, I think this just resets.
Let's look at the month.
So in the last month, last 30 days, you've got Pudgies, Bored Apes.
You've got to go all the way down here to see GVCs. Then we scroll down to royalties by collection. And look
at that. Good Vibes Club, just the only collection that's generated more royalties in the last month is pudgy penguins which sell at 5x more than 5x per nft
for those that said royalties are dead go tell that to ty and chris go tell that's a good vibes
club who generated you know 80 000 in royalties in the last month that's the last seven days holy
cow that's in the last week bro tell that to that to Chimpers. They literally are like,
I think they're migrating their contract
to enforce royalties.
They should.
They should.
I mean, look at Corky's in the last month.
Corky's doesn't do the volume
of some of these other questions.
They've generated 24 grand in the last month.
Good vibes couple, 126 grand in the last month.
They're seven figures a year in royalties
because they launched a new contract and they did it properly. the last week though 80 grand on this run-up that's
good for them i i'm pumped for them and i do think more collections should take note and move to
move to or work with some companies there's one that we'll be talking about here soon we're going
to partner with not we're going to partner with him because a they reached out they want to sponsor the show
they want to sponsor a segment but also they're they have a solution that i've been beating the
drum for a while like i'm not this isn't not knocking moonbirds but they have left it i think
probably easily seven figures on the table in royalties since Spencer's acquired the collection.
He doesn't need to rely on royalties, but I don't understand why.
I'm sharing feedback with DMs as well.
Why they are leaving this money on the table, I don't know.
I don't understand it.
I probably never understand it, even if there's a good reason.
You know, they have generated almost 30 grand in royalties in the last 30 days.
They have generated almost $30,000 in royalties in the last 30 days.
But when I went to, I sold an oddity a while ago, I couldn't, I didn't have the option of paying royalties.
I was going to, I like Spencer, I like the team.
I have no problem paying royalties, but it's grayed out.
I couldn't even pay the royalties if I wanted to sell on an open C.
It's like, that is a miss.
Part of what created so much momentum and excitement in NFTs was creator royalties.
And NFTs was creator royalties.
And I know some people hate it.
And I know some people hate it.
Like, oh, why would you pay royalties?
Like, oh, why would you pay royalties?
There are people who say that.
It's like, OK, you're a trader and you want to make those few extra percentage points.
I get that.
I'm talking about from the business standpoint, from the collection standpoint.
For those that are really around for the long haul, not just looking to make a quick flip in a day, a week, or a month, you want these brands to be generating revenue.
And yes, they could do it in other ways, whether it be merch or vinyls or blind boxes why not royalties why not lean into something that
this space was built on and i don't think this is a coincidence i don't think it's random
has good vibes club made a lot of right yes are they is what they did with the strategy token
proving to pay out well yes you know what else has fueled a lot of this that no one's talking
about well they also have a lot of resources the team went and bought a lot
of vibes start launch because they're generating royalties let's talk about flywheel royalties are
part of the flywheel that became a dirty word for some reason because of blur farmers and these teams
went away from like oh we're not gonna we're not gonna move to a new contract we're not gonna
enforce royalties because because why because you care
more about a trader who's just going to flip in and out of your collection than you do your own
brand than you do a collector who's long wants to support you for the long haul i'm going to end my
rant there mason go ahead and get back in here and then uh i saw i got a few others on stage
yeah no totally i got a couple things to say one just in terms of the new contract because i know
you guys were talking about gu and genuine undead shout out to that team because they're already on a new contract and they already enforced royalties so love to
see it um back to kind of like the the whole what you were talking about in terms of like the the
team and things working I completely agree but I think one of the things that like I've been trying
to scream from the top of the the rooftops this week and the last couple weeks is it's not only the
team but it's also the community like the community has kind of taken the playbook that the team has
been running with like you see ronnie going out and finding the best collectors in the space dming
making relationships one-on-one conversations and and having that kind of like very genuine
onboarding process and the guy's an animal.
He's everywhere.
But then when you have a team that starts to see that, starts to replicate that, starts to say, hey, wait, I can do that.
I can send a DM.
I can bring my friends.
I can bring the people that like I really enjoy being with.
And I'm going to bring them to this environment and this vibe town that we're calling it. And that has just become such a, like, gas to the fire because now you have, like, the team and the community, like, working hand in hand.
And it's something that, like, I've never seen before.
You know what I mean?
Like, I've never seen the walls be just completely non-existent.
You know what I mean?
Like, Ty and Chris are accessible 24-7.
It's almost annoying
but they are and the team knows that and we just try to make ourselves as as kind of
servants to the community in many way but at the same time the community is like picking up the
shovels and doing just as much of the heavy lifting that a lot of the team is doing and i
think that is why we're seeing this radical alignment across you know people talking about this community and
talking about the success talking about the floor price talking about seeing us all on the timeline
like it it is a combination of the community really getting it right and that again comes down
from onboarding people one-on-one getting people that really understand it from the get-go. And so, I don't know, I'm super big on that.
Obviously, the strategy token was like a big decision
because it, we are dropping, like it's a token.
There's a lot of things that go along with that.
But if you've heard Ty and Chris talk,
the reason why it was such a quick decision for them
is because it was aligned with everything
that they've been trying to build. You look at the streams we do. Chris is a master motion
designer, like master, like top, top level. There is no one else that is opening the window at his
level and just showing you, hey, this is my process. Let me show you how I do this. You
know what I mean? And that level of authenticity, like the fire in our community, because it makes people feel heard and seen. It makes people feel
like, damn, this isn't like, I'm, I'm, I'm on the same level as this person, you know? And that is,
it's incredibly inspiring when you're, when you're there and I'm speaking from a holder,
but at the same time I'm on the team. So I see it from the other side too. So I just wanted to
give a huge shout out to the community because they play such a big part
in the energy and in the environment that I feel like all of us are feeling right now. Like I think
we're feeling NFTs are back. Sure. I give huge credit to the team. I give huge credit to the
art, but I have to give huge credit to the community that is like just showing up because
that is such a big part
of it i love it i couldn't agree but well said appreciate you sharing congratulations to you for
identifying that early and joining the team and you you're right like it this what you just
described that's the magic of nfts that's like community became a buzzword and a lot of people
took advantage of it and it was often sometimes it became like one way it was the community give
give and not getting anything back there wasn't this this reciprocal that the founders weren't
accessible you know not only are ty and chris accessible in discord if you're at a crypto
event that they're there not only should you go hit up the good vibes event if they're having one
you probably join for coffee like they're they're just they are down to earth they're humble
individuals you you wouldn't know they're leading a not an NFT brand, but they've got a thriving business and toast behind the scenes.
It is people like Dort that drive that culture throughout the community.
He says love, appreciates love.
He has his ape on today, on because welcome apes is this afternoon.
They,
him and law and there's,
there's others,
but law and door man,
as far as I know,
they're the two still managing that welcome apes account and talk about
community and community support.
And they're the onboarding team for the board API club.
And they host a monthly space.
That's called welcome apes.
I just pin it up top.
If you've not yet attended,
whether you're in the boardored Ape Yacht Club
or considering it or not at all,
if you're in any NFT community,
I'd encourage you all to go check out
a Welcome Apes space.
It's this evening at 4 p.m. this afternoon.
There's already 134 people going.
And it's not Bored Ape Yacht Club driving that.
It's Dort and Loll and others.
Community is not a buzzword.
It's very real.
And it's part of what makes this space go.
It's part of what makes NFT so great.
And there's real network effects here.
It's not just a buzzword.
It's not just something you see on a deck.
It's very real.
And it really works when it's not just the community,
but you have founders like Chris and Ty
that are fanning those flames.
And yeah, much respect respect congratulations to you all i have cap i got
some alpha for you though before i go let's go and and shout out to dork because you know dork
is always looking out for for the homies so if you go on gandhi right now cap and you search for
token 4740 there is a ranger chilla or a captain chilla trait listed pretty close to floor
they're also going to burn some token with it just want to let you know there's only 14 of
them out there and i don't think you saw this one listed you're not you're you're not going to
believe this you're not going to believe i mean you probably will believe this. Guess who just tagged me in the war room with that exact same good vibe, with that exact same citizen.
What is the problem?
Can I go to citizen?
Is that right?
Yeah, citizen of vibe town.
Guess who just tagged me with that in the war room, that exact link?
It's either Dort, Joey, or Steve.
Oh, Dort.
Nope, Dort.
He just pointed the same thing out.
He did this at 9.30, so 20 minutes ago.
I just saw it.
He says, before you buy, this one is only .95, by the way,
the strategy vault, and it's 47.40,
the exact one you're talking about with the Captain Chilla jacket,
the fancy glasses, and the comb-over hair.
Yeah, what a guy.
What a guy.
Go show Dork some love. Even if you can't make the Welcome over hair. Yeah, what a guy what a guy go
show doors and love go hit even if you can't make a welcome
space. Yeah, the welcome space and I go go hit that reminder up
top give them some love on that. And yeah, he might have just
saved me half an ETH because while I do like the one listed
on open see for 1.5 I'd like I'd like this one close to almost
just as much and I would prefer to save a little
over half an eighth so good looking out if anyone wants to state me on it congratulations to you but
i will likely be making some moves after the show here and look to uh add this one to the collection
captain chill has got we got to get a captain chilla that is the way to re-enter also before
i move too far away uh uh an idiot will go to you right next, but, uh, keeping with the good vibes team going from Mason to Atari here, uh, Atari wins may not
have a better, may not have a better, um, uh, a better, I got distracted by another comment.
Uh, it may not have a better X interest than did Steve or, um, or, uh, risk Brian, but Atari wins the meme of the day.
I didn't realize when I turned video on that I would become a meme maker, but, uh, Atari
wins screen share of the day, uh, peace frog. If you're out there listening, we got another
sticker queued up for you. A shout out to Atari for that grab. I don't know how I do this. It's
not planned. It's not intended. Uh, I don't know how I do this. It's not planned. It's not intended.
I don't know how you're capturing it in real time,
but even it's even perfect because I have the Atari comment pulled up.
You need to join the cult, bro,
with this face here.
If you're not looking on the live stream,
it's worth going and checking YouTube
just to catch this face that I made.
I don't even know what I was saying or why,
but once again, I've got half the stickers in the world
are now me making silly faces like this on stream.
An idiot.
GM, what brought you up this morning?
Yep, GM.
Yeah, Jesus invoked the good name of an idiot a minute ago.
I just wanted to be clear.
My take on Good Vibes Club potentially might sound to people
like some dumb noon boy bag holder bullshit.
I don't hold
any good vibes club. Uh, but I still think they're free at this price. And I would have one right now.
My liquidity is pretty focused on farming abstract at the moment. Um, but that take is not from a
holder or someone with bag bias. I genuinely think good vibes club is free underneath. Um,
I believe that wholeheartedly and I'm hoping, uh, I'm, and I'm hoping things line up right throughout the
course of the year for me to end up with a good vibes club or two or so. Yeah, we'll just see how
that goes. And then you guys were talking about royalties. It sounds like everybody's pretty
aligned up here on royalties good. I guess maybe just to play devil's advocate, I'll give a slightly
more nuanced take. In my opinion, I think the royalties thing applies differently
depending on what the shill of the project is.
If it's like an art project, a community thing, whatever,
I fully support royalties.
However, I'll say this.
I've seen a lot of projects that like their elevator pitches,
we're going to build all these revenue generating
products and things. But then they still have like seven and a half or higher percent royalties.
And to me, I get leery. I get leery if your shill to me is you're going to build things that
generate revenue for your company, but you still need to rinse me on trying to trade these assets, I grow very leery. But in the instance of something that's art-based or anything
like that, if it's an art project, I'm not buying it to flip it. I'm buying it to hold it long term.
So 5% royalties or something in that instance doesn't bother me at all, not even in the least.
So anyway, there's my takes
on the subjects you guys are going over here this morning so far. Well said, I agree. I would like
to see, like for those, I understand the pushback where someone's like, oh, I'm forced to pay
royalties on this now. I bought this thing for one eat, the founders rubbed, they quit. And now
I'm trying to, I'm trying to weath it for 0. point one I'm down 90% I still gotta pay royalties screw that I would love to see the evolution of protected royalties be
if you're selling it for more than you bought it for you pay royalties if you're down maybe
royalties are waived or I like I don't know the exact right answer I under I do understand those
frustrations I understand that pushback I understand all the team left they're not doing
anything why would I pay royalties on this my point is for those that are. I understand that pushback. I understand all the team left. They're not doing anything. Why would I pay royalties on this? My point is for those that are
here for those that are building for the ones that are continuing
to fan the flames of community for the ones that are doing
things for their community. royalties can make a big impact
royalties can can really build some serious momentum. I mean,
again, good vibes club, I don't have to go further than that as a
example as to what royalties can make possible. And I don't know, maybe this is all
a long con and Chris and Ty are just milking these royalties and they're building, you know,
multi-million dollar homes in Puerto Rico and they're going to rub the project in six months.
I would be absolutely shocked if that were the case. I understand anything is possible
in crypto and Web3. And unfortunately, a lot of people did get burnt in the mania. And I think
a lot of people are anti royalties, because of people that came in and extracted people that
grifted people that were charlatans. The people who are still here, people who haven't left,
like, can that still exist? Yes.
Man, if you look through the leading, the trending
NFT collections that are
not a farmed collection, but ones
that are actually
punks, apes. I'm just
going down the list from OpenSea. Pudgies,
apes, punks, moonbirds, good vibes clubs,
hypers, little pudgies. I'm going
to skip over DX Terminal because I know that's a farm.
VFriends, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, even M'Ladies.
They're not going anywhere.
Is the founders going to do anything?
I don't know.
I don't know Charlotte.
Chimpers is the next on the list.
They're worthy of royalties.
Could things change?
Could the founders change?
Could the teams change?
Could they sell?
Yeah, it's all possible, but I'm very pro-royalties.
I understand it's a nuanced conversation,
but I think a lot of teams that are still here,
still building that have good intentions and they're not malicious.
I'm going to shout out Moonbirds because it has been one that's done a lot of
volume and they've not only not moved to a new contract,
they've turned off royalties on some of these.
I just think it's a massive miss.
I would rather them make royalties on a collection. I'd rather them make royalties
on the oddity. I sold an oddity for, I don't know, it was like, okay, it's a thousand bucks.
I would rather than made $50 on that than having to go buy two more blind boxes for them to get
$50. Can I play devil's advocate on this specific instance though? Is it possible to say that maybe
turning off royalties promotes
more volume and more volume puts more eyes on your collection because you're higher up on the
what leader board of volume anyway just a thought i guess i mean yeah no it means valid but
is it worth it at what cost is that like if royalties were turned on do we think moonbirds
would be at 0.5 ETH?
I don't.
Like they still have a token coming.
Everything else is still happening.
Like would there be a few traders?
Oh, I'm not going to trade Moonbirds because I have to pay royalties.
I got to make more on the spread if I want to make a profitable flip.
Sure.
Are there people flipping in and out of Good Vibes Club because the number is going up and it's an easy trade right now?
I'm sure that's happening.
I'm going to guess, without looking at any data, sight unseen, but I would guess, if you look at the actual contract or look at the on-chain data,
that most of those Good Vibes Club holders are people that have been in the collection for months, if not from the jump.
I don't think you're seeing people that just bought their first Good Vibes Club yesterday and then today they got it listed for sale or they're thinking about weakening it maybe i just
and i say this because the market we're coming out of maybe things change if we actually get
a full-on nft season two we get a real bull who's trading nfts before up until like this month
who's out there trading nfts for a profit like yeah sure people
maybe are farming points on open sea or somewhere else and maybe they go another collection i just
i i think that's a net negative i think i don't think nft collections were meant to be traded
to high velocity i don't think nft collections were meant to be bought one day and we the next
day for uh rewards points for a nft marketplace i think i understand
liquidity is powerful and you need buyers you need attention i think it's a net negative i i'm
on record i think blur farming was it that it caused the downward spiral of nfts no it didn't
cause it but it aided to it it poured fuel on the fire because not only would you have someone go sweep a hundred of a collection and then dump them all into wheat bids,
it turned off buyers. People weren't entering collections because they could see all these
three wallets are just farmers and they're going to dump these NFTs at some point. So I'm not
entering now because I know it's highly likely the floor is going to crash afterwards. So I think
royalties actually protect against that. As a collector, as an NFT brand supporter,
I don't want farmers in a collection.
I don't want people who are just trading in and out.
I don't want to, I don't, if I'm a long-term supporter,
if I'm along for the ride, I don't want those traders.
I don't want that extra volume.
And I think the space is condensed enough.
There's been enough consolidation.
I mean, just look at that.
I think the leaderboard's proof positive of this. It's like the ones here, they're deserving. the space is condensed enough there's been enough consolidation i mean just look at that the i think
the leaderboards prove positive this is like the ones here they're deserved they're not fly by
nights they're not going anywhere like these are all collections minus dx terminal which is a farm
the rest of these are ones that i i don't know i i they're not going anywhere they don't need
extra attention they don't need extra volume to be successful.
I hear your point.
I'm not saying you're wrong.
I just think it's unavoidable.
Like if you want a full-blown NFT full run, like it takes volume to bring people in to pump those floor prices.
You need the volume to attract the liquidity to take you back to the all-time highs or you know beyond
i think i mean i don't know maybe i agree with you i ideally most of the holders in your favorite
nft project are community members and they're going to hold and there's going to be massive
supply control but and you still need some flippers you still need that volume to to make
your project relevant and on the board i think anyway maybe i mean i understand the point i just would also push back that
it's it's every every flipper that comes into a collection you're you're just adding cell
pressure if they buy a hundred you just added a you just added a hundred sales at some point in
the probably not so distant future i just for while it can drive volume and
eyeballs and attention, it also can can crush momentum and create a downward spiral. And then
and then that could lead to cascading liquidations on loans. And it's like we've seen this
spiral out of control. I think you eliminate that downside risk when you maybe not eliminates the
right word. you mitigate the downside
risk of bringing in those pure flippers that don't care about the collection, they don't
care about the community, they're only in it for a trade.
To each their own, nothing wrong with it.
I would just say I don't think you just mitigate the downside risk, I think you mitigate the
volatility in general.
So yeah, the risk is decreased, but the volatility overall is probably
increased. So that all-time high giga pump to Valhalla, I think that also requires the liquidity
that volume attracts. I don't know. Maybe. I mean, I would point to Good Vibes Club as showing that
that's not been the case with them as they've been in from the jump and they've been over the past year since they've been in i think it's safe to say they've been the best performing
nft absolutely and i agree with that but i mean my my point is just i mean to good vibes club
specifically good vibes club has been you know the most interesting mint uh you know since the
last cycle i think that they would be i mean under the conditions, I think that they would be, I mean, under the conditions of 2021,
2022, that floor would be 1530 right now, right? Now there would also be that massive downside risk. But you know, that downside risk is only there if you have massive upside to begin with.
Anyway, by the way, correct me if I'm wrong, everybody always blames Blur for the no royalties
thing. Wasn't it Magic Eden that did it first and then came back to save the day?
Kind of a mess that they initially created and then somehow Blur got blamed for it all?
I don't know. That's the way I remember it.
I don't think so.
I mean, maybe. I don't think so.
I think it was Blur that was the first to go no royalties.
At least with Siri.
If it was Magic Eden first, I think it was maybe it would have been to go no royalties at least with sir if it was magic eden first
i think it was maybe it would have been just solana nfts maybe when nft when ethan fts were
still the the main you know nfts i i don't know my my memory is it was blur that started that
but magic eden definitely participated for sure.
KZ says, I thought that royalties being removed came more from the flippers than the builders.
A builder wouldn't care that royalties are there
knowing it goes to a project
and flipper doesn't want them for the back.
Yeah, I agree.
VEPEC actually thinks it was Blur as well.
I'm not certain on that,
but I'm pretty confident that it was Blur that had a much bigger impact because their points, their farm was well before Magic Eden's farm.
So even if Magic Eden didn't have royalties, I don't think they had near the volume.
Blur dominated volume for a while when that, yeah, no one really used magic even until they launched with ordinals
people did it just wasn't like relative to the volume blur was doing it was a drop in the bucket
uh i saw blue jumped up stage blue we are getting ready to wind out wind down here but thanks for
jumping up as always go ahead and get in here wherever you'd like and then we'll let everyone
get on with their win set hey jam jam everybody um far as who started the royalties no royalties it started with Faruk's room
and then uh Magic Eden announced that they were going to stop royalties and then Blur came in
um and behind the scenes some of those same individuals were the same investors
um because they saw like a way to kind of like extract the whole entire overall community.
And that's the history on that piece.
And then OpenSea came into that, and that's why we had all the issues.
And then if you track OpenSea, there are big artists that did a whole bunch of drops on there.
You have to go back and see that OpenSea wasn't really giving you your actual cut.
So all those guys fell into the no royalties.
They all had a meeting behind the scenes and then they came out and rolled that out slowly.
And they rolled it out through the spaces because because at that time, it's basically whatever space
told you to do, that's what people were following.
And then far as like royalties, royalties literally,
for someone that's had royalties directly on chain since 2022,
it's about like the opportunities and the resources.
And when you present solutions that shut people down
that run solely off of speculation and that contribution um it it totally shifts the market
but actual nfts the technology and having royalties directly on chain for RWAs, for just artists, for these clubs. If the clubs really
want to put something out in that rugged community, then put it directly on chain.
Don't use payment processors. Don't use all this other stuff because a lot of these NFT communities
aren't really operating directly on chain.
And so if you have royalties that are enforced directly in the smart contract,
it's not up to you to pay the royalties.
It's going to automatically come out and go to where it's supposed to go.
So if I'm trying to sell a house and I want to sell it and put a 1% royalty on it every time it's sold,
then I'll receive that and recoup that.
But it totally changes business overall.
But people have been trying to shift this back and forth that royalties don't matter.
It's because a lot of these individuals were extractors and ruggers.
And so it's a lot easier to say, hey, I'm going to promise all this stuff and then take the liquidity and just run.
So you don't need the volume to be successful.
If you run it like a real business and be honest and put stuff directly on chain, then you can see a totally different shift of ownership and royalties that should come back to you.
Yeah, well said.
Yeah, whether on chain or or like there's
there's multiple ways to do it i just i think i think more should at least strongly consider it
and especially those that are have good intentions in in building with their community in mind and
have long-term plans there's see so many crypto-native brands
that are looking for some sort of product market fit,
some sort of revenue source,
and a lot of them continue to do Web2 things,
i.e., here's a hoodie, here's a merch drop,
here's a blind box, here's some vinyls.
I'm not knocking that stuff.
I get it
i just you're you're forgetting about one of the things that's i i think it's low-hanging fruit
like i certainly understand where an idiot's coming from i i don't disagree there would be
some people that are not going to enter a collection if royalties are enforced i'm okay
with that as a collector if i was a founder i'd be okay with that. As a collector, if I was a founder,
I'd be okay with that. I'd be fine. I'm not looking for traders to enter this collection.
Do we want volume? Do we want attention? Yes. I would rather drive attention other ways
and get royalties than have to rely on traders and flippers and farmers to get the attention
in the eyeballs because then what are we getting? They're getting the attention of other flippers
farmers that are... I know they have a place.
I'm not knocking flippers and farmers and traders.
I'm not.
I enjoyed Franklin's flips for .01 ETH as much as the next person.
I'm just saying I don't know as if they're really a net positive for most collections.
For some, sure.
I also understand if they're down and it's the founders rugging, like, yeah, you don't want to be payroll. You don't want to have a royalties force. I get all that.
It's, it's, it is very nuanced. I just think a lot, like, I don't think Spencer's going anywhere.
I don't think, I don't think Spencer has malicious intentions. I think Moonbird should be enforcing
royalties, at least give people the option to pay royalties. Anyways, great conversation. I really
enjoyed it. The chat was popping off everywhere. We felt that number one spot down in abstract all morning. Shout out
to all of you abstract doors over there. If you have a ear, if you have Luca's ear,
tell him if he's looking to make any crypto streamer a million dollars from streaming on
abstract, he should look at who's the top spot from 8am to 10am Monday through Friday,
Eastern time. I would appreciate a kid, but not really. I would love a big abstract stimmy. And
I would keep streaming. I'm going to stream over there anyways, but I would keep
streaming. If he sends me seven figures of, uh, of abstract, I would be street. I would,
I would stream to an abstract till, uh, till I'm done streaming. Uh, you got my word, Luca,
just pay me, um, pay him, pay the men. I can't even do the, the, uh, go watch rounders this
weekend. Anyways, I digress. Thanks for all being here. Really enjoyed the conversation.
We'll be back tomorrow at 8 AM Eastern time time if you're looking for something else to attend today
though might i call attention to up top to well the first link yeah if you if you want to have
easy low effort farm go check out your eth gas report i've got 331 adventures ahead of me in
queue now so hopefully i get that report here soon uh go join the welcome ape space at 4 p.m
this afternoon whether you're in that community or not i think you'd get some good ideas especially if you're a community leader or community manager and then
last but not least if you've got another space coming up here in about 49 minutes with jesus
who gave us some great alpha today uh he's going to be talking about the latest events happening
web 3 a 10k toshibet giveaway z tournaments abstract chain updates and open sea wave 5
go hit that up top that reality check appreciate jesus and all
of our guest speakers today um big cuz ads in the chat those same people that wouldn't buy because
of royalties are the same bozos farming and trading creator coins on pump fund i tend to
probably side with that take as well um and maybe maybe some of those traders flippers and
ones that are only here for to grind out the small gains on uh nft flip maybe most of them have moved on to other
things they feel is more advantageous for the high high velocity trading and button clicking whether
it be crater coins or pure memes or they're now trading perps like there's a lot of things to do
to for a quick flip than just nfts and back in 21 22 it wasn't wasn't nearly as many options on that front so
great conversation really appreciate y'all enjoyed the conversation
we'll be back tomorrow 8 am eastern time hope you have a wonderful wonderful day everyone Thank you.

uh, I just saw this morning that these, uh, they, I don't know if it was my feedback. I'm sure
probably it was others as well, but the, uh, new, new tiers now available. So whereas before it was
like, I had to get a million more points to get to the platinum tier and no more.

I just prior to this update, I had no desire to try to grind my way up to something that just seemed.
So hearing that the account is unmuted but no echo so we'll keep we'll keep plowing along
then if that changes let me know but in the meantime i will uh we'll just keep moving ahead
The speaker mentions the upcoming token launch and its implications for the community, highlighting the excitement surrounding new opportunities.
But I think people are missing multiple opportunities by being able to double and triple farm other brands that are on abstract.
Would you have an example? Like, what's your favorite double, triple farm other brands that are on abstract. Would you have an example?
Like what's your favorite double, triple farm on abstract?

there that you can earn it's a lot of follow in and repost in and, but you can end up with about
600,000 points in Myriad. Then you can take those points and there's two different types of markets.
There's USDC and then there are points markets and there's a filter for them. You can just filter

make sure it's not one that has,
uh,

talk about it it's easier like that's the other thing is amplify now is they they can tie in on
chain components yeah so you're going to get the to the if you miss it you know jesus is getting
multipliers because he's he's he's not just talking about myriad he's using Myriad and they can see that. Yeah. And for me, man, it's like,

in there because the OpenSea mobile testing is underway and it's fantastic. But they're looking
at that. They're adding those products. Then on top of that, they talked about the historical
volume use is still going to be very much know, very much so meaningfully considered.

Bro, I'm still looking at this.
Like, this is a mess over here.

just keep the 50 bump that we did we're going to keep rewarding people that are actively using the
platform and you know and and that's in my mind is a good thing. And OpenSea is pretty much, you know, it's my home for NFTs.
I don't really mess around anywhere else.

I should have bought right then because I had a couple.69 ish wall. I was like, oh, this is going to run. And it has, I should have bought right then.

I don't understand it.
I probably never understand it, even if there's a good reason.
You know, they have generated almost 30 grand in royalties in the last 30 days.
The speaker discusses the upcoming token launch and its implications for the community, highlighting the excitement surrounding new opportunities.
think that is why we're seeing this radical alignment across you know people talking about this community and
talking about the success talking about the floor price talking about seeing us all on the timeline
like it it is a combination of the community really getting it right and that again comes down
The speaker discusses the upcoming token launch and its implications for the community, highlighting the excitement surrounding new opportunities.
It's Dort and Loll and others.
Community is not a buzzword.
It's very real.

So grab your coffee and join Cap and C for today's conversation.
The speaker mentions unlocking a new gold tier in the Abstract portal, indicating personal growth and progress within the platform's ecosystem.
And I do have some alpha on Abstract this morning, or at least some new information new to me.
Anyways, I just saw when I logged into my Abstract portal this morning
that I unlocked a new gold tier with the update yesterday. the update yesterday. I didn't, I didn't go back
The speaker expresses excitement about the new gold tier, indicating a positive growth trajectory within the Abstract platform.
And I'm excited about that. I think that's a good move and it will cause me to rethink
how I'm going about abstract. I might actually put more effort into leveling up
because now I feel like I can actually level up. I will. Here we go. This is it. This is what I'm
The speaker mentions the importance of staying active in the Abstract ecosystem, reflecting a trend of engagement and participation among users.
because there's a good chance that you have a new tier that you can aspire to get to.
Appreciate you, Teacher Katie, always with the Alpha, our local abstract expert over there. I will share this next. I did just
pin it up top. But yeah, there was an update or an update yesterday. I missed the abstract post.
The speaker notes that they are living the dream, which suggests a positive outlook and growth in their crypto journey.
I don't use the for you.
I mostly use the following page,
but my following page has been really messed up lately because it serves me
The speaker discusses the challenges with co-hosting and technical issues, reflecting the ongoing trends and challenges faced in the crypto community.
I don't know why this is so broken.
But same issues we had yesterday with Outer.
It just doesn't want to give people a β does not want to give people a co-host seat.
The speaker mentions the importance of community engagement and the positive impact it has on the growth of projects, emphasizing the value of active participation.
So I'm just going to leave it up here as a speaker for now.
We'll do the co-host another day.
We'll do the co-host another day.
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
Yeah, it's just anytime I accept co-host, it sends the account right back to listener.
It's showing muted on the bat phone, so there should not be any echo or any audio, but on my main phone, on the host phone, it's showing that the Coffee with captain is a speaker that's unmuted so can you just give
me a quick confirmation no audio no echo is or do we sound clear in the chat are you getting any
The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
just hit over YouTube right now. Go give us this. Go subscribe to our YouTube account.
You get the notifications. We go live., speaking of YouTube, we also had a,
if you missed the interview yesterday, or if you would like to play back, I know there was,
The speaker mentions the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
uh appreciate the uh the update i think this is a good move.
It's much more realistic for me to get to tier two, maybe tier three.
And then who knows?
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
towards sharing the upside of some of these businesses and brands beyond
just going to IPO or friends and family around, et cetera. So yeah, that is pinned up top. If you
missed it, again, go check your abstract with the updates there. And speaking of programs,
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
Might do a few more before the season ends.
They're also offering a 5% bonus on your points over there
on the final 24 hours.
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
say it says it could take a few days to go into effect but like again again college football 2023
it's probably not overly relevant because there's probably not stuff probably not many people
talking about college football 2023 but if i got some highlight from 2023 wondering why the heck
The speaker discusses the importance of managing interests on social media platforms, reflecting a trend towards more personalized and relevant content consumption.
interested in it so i don't know cheeses have you managed your interests on x did you know this was
even a thing no bro i'm trying to like and i've seen somebody in the abstract chat asking like i can't even find it where did you when you were in settings
where did you see interest at so here so carbon had the tweet let me i will post this i'm just
The speaker mentions the potential for growth in their crypto investments, indicating a positive outlook on market trends.
uh i think you're pretty safe in clicking through but uh and it did it didn't leave the app either
it just took me right through uh right to that setting so i'll pin this up top uh
okay somebody's saying it's under privacy and safety is what they're saying.
The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
oh then content you see so when you go to privacy and then go to content you see and then there's
interest um the very first thing is for me is hashtag happy friday happy monday happy saturday
what the hell unreal right i saw some others like yeah it's like a 2020 time capsule
The speaker reflects on the evolving trends in the crypto market, indicating a shift towards more informed and strategic decision-making.
few minutes on unchecking interest today on uh my x settings kind of a difficult path to get there
the clean link is up top from carbon if you want to do the same. I'm sure that's not why you came up to the stage.
GM, she's always a pleasure.
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving innovation.
I just posted yesterday.
I've been live on abstract now. When you go to Abscan,
you can go to analytics and find all this information when you put your wallet in.

Like maybe the flywheel doesn't keep flying, but I think it's much more likely that Flywheel does Flywheel
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
So far the pullback hasn't happened it's every day
has been up another eight ten percent and now FOMO is really kicking in because I this is one I

The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.

The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
small on the screen here, but that is the other thing that

And this is why I love NFTs.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
them to get back my initial investment. And then I'm free rolling a three pack for, you know, I can
sell one if it really rips, I can sell the other one midway and I can hold one long term. The, the,
the strategy was though, it was just eyes forward. Never go. If you sold pre-reveal, don't go back
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
never trade it back no chance he's obsessed with it so yeah yeah he told me that in several comments
like several things that i posted about like getting rid of it. There is some alpha though. Shout out to Dort who is a king of the good vibes.
Dort says, make sure you shop Gandhi,
The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
Is that accurate?
I think so.
Yeah.
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.

Well, as my friend
kyle down there or as he calls himself an idiot says we he thinks we're gonna look back a year
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
and it's ripping over the past week,
it's a silly time to enter.
I honestly don't know if we get a pullback
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
I kind of just brushed it off.
The more I think about it,
I'm kind of agreeing with the take,
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
I'm just saying there's a,
there's a lot more than just a random NFT collection.
There's a lot more than just the art, whether you like the art or not,
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
I'm sure some people have left because they didn't like something, but I can't think of one specific thing.
They're like, oh, I'm leaving because the team did this, or they're not communicating.
Yeah, there is no badge.
The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
Mason, you may have jumped up to correct me on my bad take there that you could get a badge for that.
But feel free to take it whatever direction you'd like. I appreciate you joining us.
Hey, thanks for having me up. Yeah, I just wanted to jump up and clarify that.
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.

He minted a bunch at Mint.
He's continued to accumulate and collect,
and you just love to see it.
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
The team was strong and then some uncontrollable happened or who knows,
but I just,
it's,
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
So go collect what you want to collect.
No expectations here, but love to see the momentum.
And I really, Chris and Tyler have become a couple of my favorite founders in crypto.
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
collection could do that in the near future. The last time I looked at this chart, it was,
The last time I looked at this chart, it was, you know, we often see Good Vibes Club on the royalty leaders.
We don't often see them in the top collections by trading revenue, but right there they are,
The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
at that. Good Vibes Club, just the only collection that's generated more royalties in the last month is pudgy penguins which sell at 5x more than 5x per nft
for those that said royalties are dead go tell that to ty and chris go tell that's a good vibes
club who generated you know 80 000 in royalties in the last month that's the last seven days holy
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
I mean, look at Corky's in the last month.
Corky's doesn't do the volume
of some of these other questions.
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
move to or work with some companies there's one that we'll be talking about here soon we're going

The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
It's like, that is a miss.
Part of what created so much momentum and excitement in NFTs was creator royalties.
And NFTs was creator royalties.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
It's like, OK, you're a trader and you want to make those few extra percentage points.
I get that.
I'm talking about from the business standpoint, from the collection standpoint.
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
about well they also have a lot of resources the team went and bought a lot
of vibes start launch because they're generating royalties let's talk about flywheel royalties are
part of the flywheel that became a dirty word for some reason because of blur farmers and these teams
The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
yeah no totally i got a couple things to say one just in terms of the new contract because i know
you guys were talking about gu and genuine undead shout out to that team because they're already on a new contract and they already enforced royalties so love to
see it um back to kind of like the the whole what you were talking about in terms of like the the
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
onboarding process and the guy's an animal.
He's everywhere.
But then when you have a team that starts to see that, starts to replicate that, starts to say, hey, wait, I can do that.
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
You know what I mean?
Like, I've never seen the walls be just completely non-existent.
You know what I mean?
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
the reason why it was such a quick decision for them
is because it was aligned with everything
that they've been trying to build. You look at the streams we do. Chris is a master motion
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
but at the same time I'm on the team. So I see it from the other side too. So I just wanted to
give a huge shout out to the community because they play such a big part
in the energy and in the environment that I feel like all of us are feeling right now. Like I think
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
described that's the magic of nfts that's like community became a buzzword and a lot of people
took advantage of it and it was often sometimes it became like one way it was the community give
give and not getting anything back there wasn't this this reciprocal that the founders weren't
The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
He says love, appreciates love.
He has his ape on today, on because welcome apes is this afternoon.
They,
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
as far as I know,
they're the two still managing that welcome apes account and talk about
community and community support.
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
whether you're in the boardored Ape Yacht Club
or considering it or not at all,
if you're in any NFT community,
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
It's very real.
And it really works when it's not just the community,
but you have founders like Chris and Ty
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
they're also going to burn some token with it just want to let you know there's only 14 of
them out there and i don't think you saw this one listed you're not you're you're not going to
believe this you're not going to believe i mean you probably will believe this. Guess who just tagged me in the war room with that exact same good vibe, with that exact same citizen.
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
It's either Dort, Joey, or Steve.
Oh, Dort.
Nope, Dort.
The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
the exact one you're talking about with the Captain Chilla jacket,
the fancy glasses, and the comb-over hair.
Yeah, what a guy.
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
saved me half an ETH because while I do like the one listed
on open see for 1.5 I'd like I'd like this one close to almost
just as much and I would prefer to save a little
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
Uh, it may not have a better X interest than did Steve or, um, or, uh, risk Brian, but Atari wins the meme of the day.
I didn't realize when I turned video on that I would become a meme maker, but, uh, Atari
wins screen share of the day, uh, peace frog. If you're out there listening, we got another
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
GM, what brought you up this morning?
Yep, GM.
Yeah, Jesus invoked the good name of an idiot a minute ago.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
My liquidity is pretty focused on farming abstract at the moment. Um, but that take is not from a
holder or someone with bag bias. I genuinely think good vibes club is free underneath. Um,
I believe that wholeheartedly and I'm hoping, uh, I'm, and I'm hoping things line up right throughout the
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
If it's like an art project, a community thing, whatever,
I fully support royalties.
However, I'll say this.
The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
like that, if it's an art project, I'm not buying it to flip it. I'm buying it to hold it long term.
So 5% royalties or something in that instance doesn't bother me at all, not even in the least.
So anyway, there's my takes
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
royalties are waived or I like I don't know the exact right answer I under I do understand those
frustrations I understand that pushback I understand all the team left they're not doing
anything why would I pay royalties on this my point is for those that are. I understand that pushback. I understand all the team left. They're not doing anything. Why would I pay royalties on this? My point is for those that are
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
example as to what royalties can make possible. And I don't know, maybe this is all
a long con and Chris and Ty are just milking these royalties and they're building, you know,
multi-million dollar homes in Puerto Rico and they're going to rub the project in six months.
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
to skip over DX Terminal because I know that's a farm.
VFriends, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, even M'Ladies.
They're not going anywhere.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
Could things change?
Could the founders change?
Could the teams change?
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
I'm going to shout out Moonbirds because it has been one that's done a lot of
volume and they've not only not moved to a new contract,
they've turned off royalties on some of these.
The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
turning off royalties promotes
more volume and more volume puts more eyes on your collection because you're higher up on the
what leader board of volume anyway just a thought i guess i mean yeah no it means valid but
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
Like would there be a few traders?
Oh, I'm not going to trade Moonbirds because I have to pay royalties.
I got to make more on the spread if I want to make a profitable flip.
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
I don't think you're seeing people that just bought their first Good Vibes Club yesterday and then today they got it listed for sale or they're thinking about weakening it maybe i just
and i say this because the market we're coming out of maybe things change if we actually get
a full-on nft season two we get a real bull who's trading nfts before up until like this month
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
I don't want people who are just trading in and out.
I don't want to, I don't, if I'm a long-term supporter,
if I'm along for the ride, I don't want those traders.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
the leaderboards prove positive this is like the ones here they're deserved they're not fly by
nights they're not going anywhere like these are all collections minus dx terminal which is a farm
the rest of these are ones that i i don't know i i they're not going anywhere they don't need
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
You need the volume to attract the liquidity to take you back to the all-time highs or you know beyond
i think i mean i don't know maybe i agree with you i ideally most of the holders in your favorite
nft project are community members and they're going to hold and there's going to be massive
The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
eyeballs and attention, it also can can crush momentum and create a downward spiral. And then
and then that could lead to cascading liquidations on loans. And it's like we've seen this
spiral out of control. I think you eliminate that downside risk when you maybe not eliminates the
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
volatility in general.
So yeah, the risk is decreased, but the volatility overall is probably
increased. So that all-time high giga pump to Valhalla, I think that also requires the liquidity
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
2022, that floor would be 1530 right now, right? Now there would also be that massive downside risk. But you know, that downside risk is only there if you have massive upside to begin with.
Anyway, by the way, correct me if I'm wrong, everybody always blames Blur for the no royalties
thing. Wasn't it Magic Eden that did it first and then came back to save the day?
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
and flipper doesn't want them for the back.
Yeah, I agree.
VEPEC actually thinks it was Blur as well.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
uh i saw blue jumped up stage blue we are getting ready to wind out wind down here but thanks for
jumping up as always go ahead and get in here wherever you'd like and then we'll let everyone
get on with their win set hey jam jam everybody um far as who started the royalties no royalties it started with Faruk's room
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
And then if you track OpenSea, there are big artists that did a whole bunch of drops on there.
You have to go back and see that OpenSea wasn't really giving you your actual cut.
So all those guys fell into the no royalties.
The speaker discusses the importance of community engagement in driving growth, highlighting the role of active participation in the crypto space.
it's about like the opportunities and the resources.
And when you present solutions that shut people down
that run solely off of speculation and that contribution um it it totally shifts the market
The speaker highlights the collaboration between various crypto projects and communities, showcasing the importance of partnerships in driving growth and innovation.
it's not up to you to pay the royalties.
It's going to automatically come out and go to where it's supposed to go.
So if I'm trying to sell a house and I want to sell it and put a 1% royalty on it every time it's sold,
The speaker discusses the potential for growth in the Abstract ecosystem, indicating optimism about future developments and opportunities.
So you don't need the volume to be successful.
If you run it like a real business and be honest and put stuff directly on chain, then you can see a totally different shift of ownership and royalties that should come back to you.
Yeah, well said.
The speaker mentions the potential for fundraising opportunities within the Abstract ecosystem, indicating a focus on capital generation.
some people that are not going to enter a collection if royalties are enforced i'm okay
with that as a collector if i was a founder i'd be okay with that. As a collector, if I was a founder,
I'd be okay with that. I'd be fine. I'm not looking for traders to enter this collection.
The speaker discusses the importance of yield generation through various DeFi mechanisms, emphasizing the potential for earning within the crypto space.
I'm not.
I enjoyed Franklin's flips for .01 ETH as much as the next person.
I'm just saying I don't know as if they're really a net positive for most collections.
The speaker reflects on the growth of their crypto portfolio, indicating positive developments and increased value.
enjoyed it. The chat was popping off everywhere. We felt that number one spot down in abstract all morning. Shout out

The speaker discusses the importance of staying updated with the latest trends in the crypto space, indicating a shift towards more informed decision-making among investors.
