Thank you. Yo, yo, yo, what's up?
Hello, after some technical difficulties, we're here.
We have made it.
Our technical difficulties, though.
It was ex-Twitter's technical difficulties.
Damn it, Elon.
He needs to get his shit together.
Can you guys hear me?
Okay, I thought I
rugged because, yeah, I was experiencing
problems too. No, if it was
like an attack, like it happened
like a couple weeks ago,
spaces might get rugged.
So, bear with us
here. We're going to relaunch it. If it does,
hopefully it doesn't.
But, yeah, let's give it a few minutes for people to uh rejoin and um let's see what i have here for you guys
something cool to listen to is it some edm some dubstep? Never. Man, dude.
You have the worst music tastes, man.
Man, I love EDM, dubstep.
I mean, that is literally where the fun is.
If it's not giving me actual Tourette's and epilepsy.
Yeah, if I'm not getting epilepsies and seizures,
I don't want to listen to it, honestly.
Yeah, what's it all about at that point,
then? Huh?
So, what's it all for, then,
if there's no seizures, right? Exactly, exactly.
So... I mean, a lot of stuff,
you know, music is, like,
you know, an art form.
Not noise to
make you have seizures. At least,
that's what I think.
Okay, do your thing then.
Put some dubstep on.
I'm not going to.
No, go ahead, go ahead.
You're fine, put some music on.
Are you more a Katy Perry guy?
What about if it was a dubstep song of like a mozart what if we created
doge step yeah doge step that sounds awesome actually listen hold on this is this needs to
be taken to the doge community immediately well anyways welcome everybody we're just getting started here on memes and dreams
are you hot or cold memes drive markets um if you guys are wanting to come on up
and speak on the show feel free don't be shy um you know i don't think ivan's gonna bite but i can't promise um
and let's not forget like go ahead and retweet the space
um let's get the word out invite all your friends your family maybe your kids maybe not
maybe not i don't know man usually it's like not pg-13 at least here uh but probably not r but m
rated m yeah i don't think it's rated r is it though sometimes it could it could be i would
say that we definitely have a little bit of a
rated r aspect to some of the things and some of the conversations so i mean i don't know um
is a is shilling meme coins to little kids frowned upon no i think that's what we're supposed to do
right and spreading the love right yeah kids are supposed to gamble all day, every day.
I mean, dude, there's kids out here that are making more money than I am on meme coins.
I mean, like, did you guys see that kid who was pretty much selling out his mom on pump, like, for a meme coin?
That's an entrepreneur right there.
I mean, bro was literally, like like selling out his mom for a token
pump straight up that's wild that's pretty crazy oh man i love it i love it memes are just
definitely just pretty wild they're pretty they can be pretty
interesting at times i mean you know the markets are always changing the different trends different
meta i mean with and we talk about serious stuff you know builders development and somehow meme
coins just keep coming out like new ones every single day. They just keep pumping.
I think there's just so much funny shit to actually talk about, to be honest with you.
I think that's why they're kind of alive. But, you know, and I guess going into the deep of the weeds of these things with meme
coins and like the different markets, I mean, what do you guys think?
I mean, obviously we can see that Bitcoin is arguably who drives the markets,
but like, I don't want to go into the semantics of Bitcoin.
It's just a meme coin, but I mean,
but is the true story that meme coins drive the markets?
What do you think? What do you think, DevDigil?
I mean, honestly, I think meme coins are kind of like the primary in the coal mine, right?
They respond the most. They go down the hardest. They're the most volatile. They kind of tell you
the general sentiment of the regular people. I think the people are in crypto. We kind of get
in like an echo chamber for the most part because we all know about like blockchain and all these topics that not a lot of people know about
but the meme coins actually represent the broad majority of people who don't know too much about
crypto right so i think i think um memes will always be relevant i mean i think last bull run
memes will always be relevant.
I mean, I think last bull run,
more people knew the name Doge than Bitcoin, right?
People came in talking about Doge
as if in 2013 people were talking about Bitcoin.
So I think there's always going to be that connection, man.
As much as people don't like meme coins,
I think meme coins have served their purpose,
their virality.
I think they're more or less like internet culture, right?
It's fun. It's funny. So I think as far as it goes, memes will always be relevant and always kind of signal
what the overall sentiment is for the regular day people who ultimately is going to push
the market up. We need new blood into the market to make it go higher than it's ever
gone before. So for that reason, i think memes are very useful in that way
yeah i mean totally i agree i mean meme coins are they play a very pivotal role
um in some of the markets and stuff like that but
yeah um i see we've got open loot here on the stage welcome open loot penny what do you think
you want to you want to give this a shot yeah sure i mean um yeah i agree with uh pretty much
everything dub digital said um and i just think that um i think that's one of their strengths, right? The strengths is their relevancy. Because, you know, memes can be
birthed from, you know, anything that's deemed relevant at the time. And there's going to be no
short supply of that. And yeah, they're a direct kind of representation of what's going on culturally at the moment.
And that's also why I think that they're a kind of treat meme coins as a leading indicator for the market because they're the most reflexive.
So I see them as leading indicators um often of of what is to come and um
yeah i think that uh just like on a general mass appeal um so i think that they just they have the
ability uh to bring the most amount of adoption to crypto um out of any other asset to be quite
honest with you so i hope
and i hope you're wrong on certain points though because if they're a precursor on what's to happen
in the market everything is going down 90 percent well bitcoin does almost every cycle more or less
right so statistically it does about an 80 percent yeah Yeah. So it's like Bitcoin's known for that. It's yet to have really deviated from that every cycle. So and that's the main, you know, that's that that's why people knock crypto in Bitcoin is, you know, like if you if you go and you seriously ask the average person out there, they'll basically echo that same thing.
They'll be like, what about Bitcoin?
It's something that goes up and down something like 60 to 80 percent year after year.
So, I mean, even alt's been doing the same thing too so this whole criticism of of meme coins uh you know going uh uh down
significantly more etc eyes you know all coins have actually uh performed uh worse than meme
coins um this entire cycle well i would say you know like one caveat to that is basically yeah it's it shows
what probably like i think it's more of a indicator of fear in the market because like most people
who are the meme coins or not meme coins but the majority of non casual crypto holders are
in the meme coins right and it shows you how they're thinking about the market but always
remember like you know most people are wrong when crypto starts to spike right so it's
guys to show you like a good indicator of like the fear in the market like on a large swath um
probably follows if someone like charted it together probably follows the fear and greed index
very closely meme coin percentages so it does and then it i think it like it also deviates from it as
well though like um i almost see them also as like the equivalent of alcohol um so if you look at
cycles and just the economy in general it doesn't matter if you're going through a bear market, a bull market, a recession, a depression, alcohol always performs very well.
And so does gambling.
And, you know, so meme coins, they'll perform regardless of market conditions.
Like that's one of their kind of standoutout qualities as well i guess you could say so
under very good conditions they're probably gonna perform the best and under the worst
conditions they will also perform the best
relative to the rest of the market you you know, with the exception of Bitcoin, of course.
So I guess just a little...
But interesting, sorry, interesting enough, though,
like I see the relationship between Doge and Bitcoin
and their movements are very, very kind of similar.
And sometimes one will front run the other.
For instance, Doge may start to print higher
and be way more reflexive than Bitcoin.
But they're usually,
they seem to be like in sync in tandem for the most part,
except for a couple you know of events
nice openly do you want to go ahead and and take a stab at this
um yeah i'm not uh i'm not very very high on you know meme coins but i do think that they have very good points so you've just
had a curiosity i know you're not high on meme coins right i mean you do gaming i mean the whole
i love the take so but you gotta love something about meme coins right yeah yeah that's that's
i mean from a marketing perspective uh if you have a good meme coin, you know, you probably don't even have to do a lot of marketing on Twitter for it.
Especially on X, it spreads organically.
I think it has a very strong community power behind it, you know.
So I guess one of the questions that I have, if you were, and I'm just going to phrase this a little bit different because you obviously got a different take and mindset on this.
And so I guess right now, if you could describe the market right now in one meme, what would it be?
What was the last question they asked last time if they were UFC fighting?
No, it was if your meme coin was a...
If your meme coin...
It was UFC fighting.
No, no, no.
If your meme coin was in Las Vegas at a bachelor party, what would they be doing?
At a bachelor party.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But this one right now, I guess, if you could describe the market right now in one meme, what would it be?
Like, is that because it's froggy or like why Pepe?
Just because of the face of it, the original Pepe meme coin.
All right.
The original Pepe meme.
That's the face of the market right now.
I know Dub Digital loves pepe i mean
would you agree dub digital i would say more the it's fine meme with a the dog in the burning house
that's that's probably better it's fine what do you think petty
sorry to describe the market in like one word or an image yeah if you were to okay if you were to
okay okay if you were to describe the market right and as a meme coin like if one meme coin was to
basically describe the market right now what would it be or one meme not even meme coin, just like one meme.
Why retardio?
Because the market is just retarded, man.
It's just like, it's really, it's, yeah.
People can't figure it out.
There's just so many things off.
And yeah. Would you say, the frustration, right?
Would you say that it's not retarded? It's maybe just a bit autistic?
Yeah, sure.
I mean, we could only hope. I mean, I surely hope it's not retarded. Hopefully it's autistic and, you know, it's just being, it's just an, you can't understand it really. Right.
So what about this Ghibli meme guys? I mean, are you guys all over it?
I mean, do you think that we're going to see anything major come out of the
Ghibli meme?
I think, uh, is it Gilby or Ghibli?
Is it Ghibli or Ghibli? Ghibli. Ghibli or Ghibli?
Ghibli, Ghibli or Ghibli?
Some people say Ghibli and some people say Ghibli,
but I'm not sure what like the proper pronunciation is,
but like, uh, I just recently found out about it.
Just reading it today.
Like I've, I've, I've heard it and seen it on X,
but I didn't put kind of two and two together until I read an article about it and
yeah I don't know
it's kind of fascinating
I think more things will
spawn from it most
likely like I wouldn't
doubt somebody will try and make like
kind of like a
book of memes but a
book of like
Ghibli or whatever something like that there is a book of memes, but a book of like Ghibli or whatever,
something like that.
There is a book of memes.
Well, I mean like
one of the actual
of the Ghibli, right?
Like using that art style.
The manga or something like that?
Yeah, because it's based off
of an actual art style
by an artist who
criticized AI.
And now, you know, OpenAI used it as a demonstration to kind of create user-generated images in this specific style of this artist who criticized AI.
And now it's kind of being, yeah, I don't know.
It's, you know, there's a whole discussion about it now where, you know,
people are taking offense to it, obviously, you know,
from the artist side of things, but yeah, it's being turned into a meme.
And I just, you know. Knowing the way crypto operates,
there's going to be derivatives of this for sure,
and people are going to try and milk it as much as possible for sure.
Do you think it's strong enough to have a champion,
like a top 100 champion?
I don't know.
Who knows?
It could spawn other different...
It could spawn an entire
category or subsection
To do with image-generated
memes or something.
I don't know. You never know. Crypto want crypto anime that's what i want to see i want to see meme coin crypto anime i think it's the bomb um
and the reason that maybe those artists took offense it's because they're triggered because
their jobs are on a time clock now but like i think it's gonna be awesome like we could take any meme
apply it in ai it comes out as an anime can you imagine like the content that could be kicked out
on x now i think it's gonna be really cool we're gonna have ecchi anime give leaves
what's up ac welcome to the show how you doing buddy gmgm boys how you guys doing today
doing wonderful man wonderful we had some technical difficulties but we've made it
yeah apparently x got like ddos again so yeah we're here we're back yeah i know daddy daddy
elon needs to needs to start counteracting it but i think think it's overall, I mean, it's been holding up pretty decent.
I think there hasn't been anything out of the ordinary since we relaunched the space.
Once it went up, it's been consistently up.
Just a matter of getting it launched up first, right? Yeah. Just getting it launched up first, right?
Yeah, it took a while to get it up, but eventually it got up and then it's been going pretty good.
So AC, welcome.
Good to have you.
if you were to describe the meme coin market in one meme,
or the meme coin market, or just the market in general,
in one meme, what would it be?
If I had to, this isn't technically a meme,
but I don't know if you guys have ever seen this commercial.
I believe it was like a taiwanese commercial for
shingles um where like these shingles were like they were humans that personified shingles and
they like held up through like storms and winds and like uh winter and all these different like uh
tribulations together and it was kind of funny but if i had to describe the market i'd say it's
that shingles commercial where everybody like had to hold together through all these like
storms and waves and happiness and death and more happiness and death something like that
like a roller coaster wow shingles uh fun fact shingles take a while to actually get rid of.
And did you know that shingles are also known as a herpes?
Yes, I also know about the terminal illness.
I was referring to the hardware.
Oh, my bad.
I thought you were talking about shingles.
The actual, you know, I had somebody talking about having shingles the other day.
Oh, Jesus.
So your brain is on like the itchy stuff.
I was talking about like the roofing, bro.
I'm not going to say who it is, but I've got a buddy.
He's like, he's had shingles for like a while now and it's been rough for him.
And he's been battling it out for a while.
I feel terrible
uh it's definitely not something fun uh but i want to welcome to the stage jack and ellie jack
how are you doing today yeah man doing good it's good to be here as always how's everybody doing
and if i had to if i had to uh describe the market in one meme
so i was just listening to what you guys were doing earlier uh i would probably say
uh the house on fire meme you know this is fine i would go with that right now
that's exact same i'm more on on the the ben affleck smoking a cigarette uh
mean like i'm tired of this man
every day is a new last shakeout day uh it's the last shakeout don't worry guys we're back up up only next next one and there's
always another last shakeout and it's just uh it's just retarded
it's crazy my youtube feed keeps telling me it's the last time to buy
lots of you know what's time to buy what's funny funny is my feed keeps telling me that XRP is going to be a part of our banking system.
And then also that Japan has fully adopted it as taking over gold.
So they're going to sell – XRP is going to be pegged to gold.
so 1000 bro yeah uh but i i just i just find it really funny how how it just all the all the
$1,000, bro.
crazy shit that xrp kind of comes out with um and uh all the uh the sentiment that it just brings
like every time i hear something about xrp and i don't even know why i'm even talking about it now
but it's always just something like way off skew like way out like in the middle of nowhere um yeah so
so uh jack i know uh you know talking about something a little hot here in the meme coin
trend here what do you think about these ghibli's uh memes I mean are you jumping on the train I fucking love them I've
been I've made like like like 20 different uh Ghibli images in the last day so yeah I don't
know why I've started doing significant life events like photographs I took during significant
life events and converting them all to Ghibli's, like, my life is actually a cartoon, like a manga.
I don't know why, don't ask me why.
My girlfriend, or my fiancé
fucking hates it, and I keep
sending them.
That's hilarious.
He's annoyed at the Ghibli.
Oh, he says Ghibli.
I also did,
you can also do other things with it.
So I also did some Simpsons, some South Park,
and ancient Chinese tapestries.
Yeah, so feel free to input any of those prompts
because they're hilarious.
I actually, I started working with voxels.
Apparently, like, a good prompt is voxels,
where it's, like, instead of a pixel,
it's, like, a three-dimensional cube,
and it's, like, built up with voxels. it's like instead of a pixel, it's like a three dimensional cube and it's like built up with voxels.
It's pretty dope.
It's interesting.
This image update has really changed the game for chat GPT on images
because obviously there was specialist image and graphics GPT
is kind of like mid-journey and stuff.
But this is like a significant step
in a positive direction
for just the generalist,
chat GPT, 4.0,
whatever people are using these days.
It's really cool.
Good fun update.
I can't help but feel like
we're being datamined though.
Like as always with these things,
like every time there's a new feature,
you get to, hey,
like send pictures of your friends
and family into this thing.
And then the AI learns about it. Gidlify it, right? Yeah. you get to hey like send pictures of your friends and family into this thing and then like the ai
learns about it right yeah like i felt like i felt all the same right to the brain dude i fell for
this one 100 like the ai's probably got all my family mapped out now because i keep sending
these fucking pictures in right now you get to be a cute manga thing, right? It's worthwhile.
I love it.
Are we seeing any current...
I know the meta's
coming out.
Anybody seen any meme coins popping up?
Do we know of any meme coins popping up
that are going to be using this?
Well, there was gibbification
on Solana that ran,
but I think somebody actually told a bunch of their holding out, and it tanked the chart a little.
But that's the real big one, where it's like a picture of Alon, which is like, you know, the pump dev.
They gibbified him, and then they've been running the meme coin gibbification through that.
But that's the only one that I've really seen.
Oh, nice. jibblification through that but that's the only one that i've releasing oh no everything is you have literally endless content with this because if you did do a meme
coin that was related to related to ghibli you could just every time somebody talks about you
just jibblify them and then any anything significant that happens in the space you just
jibblify them like one thing that um i i don't know if you guys remember the meme coin ponke
from uh like last year or the year before.
But they do this really well.
Whenever anything happens, or just in general, whatever board, I guess,
they make something Ponkyfied.
So they'll do a little video with some event.
It'll be like the monkey doing something.
It's really interesting that whoever runs that, whoever started that,
hats off to
them because they do a great job with it and that was a lot of this was before like you could do a
lot of these things really easily with all these tools so i i assume somebody was like legit making
this by hand which is pretty cool nice yeah i mean okay i just saw somebody come up here and then like pop out super fast that was
crazy hey i i have a question for everybody here in the uh in the speaker so we're talking about
ghibli uh images here but nobody said who their favorite ghibli movie is. And did you watch the last one?
I didn't really like the last one, the Heron thing.
I don't know.
It was very – a lot of nonsense at the end.
But I have my favorites, of course.
I'll tell you mine after.
But Richard, what's your favorite Ghibli movie?
Bro, I don't watch TV.
You listen to crap music. You don't watch TV you listen to crap music you don't watch tv what do you do man i i have i literally work have listen i stare at charts have epilepsy and sometimes drink miso soup
well it's not a bad life moving on Ben Benny what's your favorite my favorite one is the one
I posted in the top there
of the Ben Affleck
like you were talking about
where he's
in that famous scene of him just
with a cigarette
in his hand up against
so yeah that's my favorite one.
Not your favorite meme,
your favorite actual movie from Ghibli.
Oh, I've not seen any of them.
So you guys are actual frauds.
You're making these memes
and you don't even know
where the actual style is coming from.
James, what's your favorite Ghibli movie?
Yeah, I mean, I haven't seen The Herring yet,
but I mean, my adult self would say Princess Mononoke
because the fight scenes are pretty epic.
And then my kid self would say My Neighbor Totoro,
but also like a runner up is Spirited Away.
I'm a big animator.
Spirited Away is probably the most popular out of all of them, right?
That's got to be the best one.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Mononoke, I agree with.
Mononoke and Nausicaa are both like the same premise.
The same but different. know the meme from from the with james franco uh from the interview uh nausicaa is actually you know like
1984 or something like that so it's it's pretty one of the first ones and it's a similar premise
where uh you know it's nature humans versus nature nature versus humans and the destruction of uh
of uh of nature uh where whereas the monomoke is the same narrative as well, but the story
is of course completely different
it's not the same story at all
but just to
clarify here, because listen
okay, I get it, I get it
so Ghibli is the studio, right?
it's actually like a place
where they produce the actual
anime, because I mean don't get me wrong, I watch anime, I, a place where they produce the actual anime.
Because, I mean, don't get me wrong.
I watch anime.
I'm a big Bleach.
I watch Bleach.
I'm actually super excited for Devil May Cry. But, I mean, this is definitely a way different style.
So this is just a studio, right?
The whole thing is the creator of the studio was very against CGI.
And now his style is made by AI.
Oh, this is the ultimate troll. I love it.
But it's really the last bastion of handmade animation.
Really, like people actually drawing characters and making actual art with each frame,
making actual art with each frame which is uh which is pretty cool because uh you know
not something that uh i can't actually do is actually make original creative content
it can if i could throw in uh another another uh miyazaki movie at least i don't know if this one
was like exclusively produced through ghibli, but the wind rises.
It's about the young aerospace tech who was like building the first like war planes for Japan.
Yeah, I've seen that one. All of them are Netflix, by the way. If anybody wants to see them, I think every single one of them is on Netflix.
Yeah, man, that's a
great one as well. It's less
like fantasy stuff and
more grounded,
way that the story
is still is pretty awesome.
See, I'm really
glad that we're talking about this because
I am now researching
all the ghibli like shows and characters because i bet you like people are just going to start
pumping out meme coins for these and like they're gonna have a huge meta i mean somebody is going to
do this like um oh man like i mean but which one's going to be the rugs
like do I need to watch out for some
evil characters
like I mean
you won't be able to tell if it's a rug
at first because people
dump on each
other regardless and
basically survive the shakeout and just
uh it's moon or dust baby just hope hopefully you get in early that's that's the only thing
to be concerned about um yeah that's true what do you think ac um yeah i to be honest with you
i feel like it's coming uh the timeline has just been flooded with these dudes.
I've seen some just absolutely atrocitous ones where, like, they –
I believe one of them was the famous Columbine picture where it's, like, them in the lunchroom.
Oh, I think it was an ex-dev who posted it too, dude.
Oh, there was one.
yeah yeah there's like a lot of like awful ones there's the guy uh the croatian like uh general
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's crazy.
There's, like, a lot of, like, awful ones.
who's uh swallowed like poison as well i don't know if you remember that guy was it milosevic that one
uh maybe not so hello hello can you hear me hello i asked you if it was Milosevic the general
a Croatian guy
it's the same war
different guy
yeah but that's crazy
I've seen like George Floyd ones and everything
it's going wild I think people are like basically
pushing Chuck D.P.T. as far as I've seen George Floyd ones and everything. It's going wild. I think people are basically pushing ChatDPT
as possible to see what they can do.
But then on the other hand, sometimes
I see all these memes with
these crazy things, but then
I try and get a gibbified image
of my son's christening, and it won't
do it because there's children in a formal
setting. But it's like, dude, you fucking
produce images of mass shooters, but I can'tbler fi my family like what are you talking about
it's so finicky yeah dude for sure but to uh to touch back on what rich was saying about like
you know pumping a bunch of like these like ghibli tokens out it's kind of crazy because
i haven't really seen any any any other like you know famous ghibli characters the only
one that i've seen is just like the gibbification token that's it like every then a couple like
copies of that but like there's really not any like ghibli characters running right now it's crazy
you know it would be hilarious if studio ghibli actually leaned into it and launched it themselves
actually lean into it and launch it themselves and just sanction it okay and and they as soon
as it reaches like 500 million they dump on everybody well why does everything have to be
a dump i mean come on because they need revenge for for uh the gibbification in AI? I guess.
Studio Jiblin terror arc?
I'm here for it.
By the way, if anybody in the audience
wants to step up and discuss
all of this gibbification nonsense,
please request an open chat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on up here.
Retweet the space, guys.
I mean, don't be shy.
I mean, Ivan's's not gonna bite you hard
or bite you um open loop i think you you you've been up here a little quiet over there i mean
what's your take on the gibblies man i keep saying ghibli like ghibli from never mind i don't want
it's embarrassing if i say the show but uh the gibblies. What do you think, OpenLoot?
Are you with it?
Am I rugged?
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, we can hear you, Rich.
Are you there, OpenLoot?
Oh, looks like we're down the list.
Anyways, okay, cool. Yeah. oh looks like uh we're down the list anyways okay cool um yeah so that that's um interesting but yeah guys feel free request a mic come on up um don't be shy oh looks like
he's lost connection here we go he's back again all. All right, OpenLew. Are you with us?
We can hear you.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
What was the question?
Are we going to Ghibli Jesus Christ?
Are we going to Ghibli Jesus Christ?
What does that mean?
It's a joke.
It's a joke.
Don't go down that fast.
Yeah, so the question is, what's your take on these Ghibli's?
I mean, on Ghibli memes.
I mean, do you think that are we going to kickstart a new Ghibli meta within the meme coin ecosystem?
I mean, is this going to take over the market?
I'm not sure what that Ghibli meme is, to be very honest with you.
What do you do?
Like, what do you do for a living?
I know you do games, bro.
Like, what do you mean?
You don't know.
If you look up at the pinned post, like, everybody's been on this Ghibli trend where they're just, like, Ghibli.
So, it's just a meme coin, right?
No, it's not even a meme coin. It's like somebody AC, I'm pretty sure you know all about it. Can
you explain? Well, it's essentially a trend. After chat GPT got this huge upgrade. A bunch of people
got to playing with the image gen and I guess like a Ghibli photo had blown up and it just became
this crazy mindshare thing that happened on the
timeline where everybody was passing photos through either chat gpt and even grok has like a a fairly
decent version where you could uh basically ask it to gibblify uh make miyazaki style or turn into
like oh i saw those yeah yeah the Okay, yeah. Those anime photos.
Yeah, I saw that.
Oh, yeah, dude.
The timeline was giblified last night.
Between the past, like yesterday and the day before.
I'm literally looking at you while we speak from hood foil.
It got to the White House, dog.
The White House posted a gibli meme.
Elon posted a gibli meme.
It's a crazy mind share.
Yeah, now I understand Richard's reaction.
It was like, what do you do?
I work, dude. I don't know. I didn't know they know that was jibli all right good to know yes so uh by the way they jibbled me i pinned it to the top i think i thought it was really funny
um but okay so question what do you think man i mean is this gonna take over the meme coin market
like are we gonna start seeing jibli like actual Ghibli characters coming out with like massive tokens?
And like, I mean, is this something that the community is going to be able to rally behind?
And, you know, the Ghibli cult and have something solid?
I mean, what's your take?
I think they are doing something very interesting.
Like, I think they are doing something very interesting.
I mean, if they escaped the bubble from Web3
and got all people over the world posting it,
they're on the way to build a legacy IP, right?
So yeah, definitely.
I think what they're doing is great.
It's such a short period of time to see everyone posting it.
Yeah, definitely.
Are we going to see Ghibli characters in Open Lube?
I don't know if we're going to see Ghibli characters in Open Lube.
I'm not sure.
That would be great.
Yeah, that would be great.
I mean, okay.
So I know we've been talking about this.
I mean, and I really want to – I've've been trying to research right like like how to find
the best meme coins it's super hard i mean obviously there's we all you know we've all
kind of thrown ideas like i hear them all the time it's got to be funny it's got to fit i mean but
like besides the the one that ac was talking about i already i've got a short attention short memory
so i can't remember what the name of it is.
I mean, does this seem like one of those picks that we're going to find a meme coin, like that there may be a character or something that we're going to be able to rally behind?
Maybe, like that's something solid that's going to bring out the Ghibli cult?
I wonder if we should be looking into this even deeper.
Like, what do you think, Penny?
I think for sure, man.
I think this thing has legs, right?
And that's like a term that's used in the advertising industry for something that can
be adapted over time and that can evolve.
So I see this kind of, yeah, I see this Ghibli movement
as just the start of something, really.
And I think that it's just, like, you see it penetrating
all forms of entertainment and culture now,
Like people are gibbifying any type of image.
and then like what was just mentioned,
even the white house has gibbified something,
I just think that,
this, this might be like a new category, I guess.
Do you think that we're going to look back in history and just remember the gibbification of the world?
I think it's definitely going to be part of internet and crypto culture for sure um it's going to be no different than uh the early
days of the internet where you know people started um posting gifs of uh or gifs of um
like dancing babies and stuff like that right like the classic memes that were first kind of
produced and stuff which are still relevant today and still used
today. Right. So yeah, no, I think this is definitely going to stick because it's, it's an
actual art style. So I don't see it really kind of going away. And I think that, you know, this has kind of demonstrated truly what AI is capable of doing.
And I already knew that AI was capable of doing this because I pushed it myself with some of Google's models, which you can gain access to in their AI playground and stuff.
access to in their AI playground and stuff.
So I was able to reference different types of artists and then kind of semi-train or
build a specific style by giving points of reference, even to other materials or images
that were produced by it over time.
And yeah, I just kind of like forcing the prompts and trying to trick it and override it into producing some things.
And I was able to get, you know, similar capabilities like a long time ago.
But, yeah, I see this like, I see this, you know, going even more viral.
Like I could see, you know, apps going on the Apple App Store Google Play Store
for gibbification and then it you know hitting potentially TikTok if it hasn't already and then
you know so I still think it's kind of potentially early but I think it's going to spawn a whole new
other kind of movement like think think back of back of when, I don't know,
it must've been about two years ago already when there was a very popular
kind of AI app that was released on the app store.
People were going nuts about,
and that was like kind of the first iteration of where you could send in your
photo or picture and it would totally transform it into an art style or,
or make it kind of like a,
yeah, yeah. Like that started take off first. Right. So yeah, I don't know.
Sorry for like kind of veering off,
but I kind of see it as like having that kind of potential, right.
It's got, it's got that pull, it's got that application and use.
And yeah, it's an entire art style. And I think that it's like, this is kind of the power of, you know, culture and memes and things that just spark spark out of world events that happen. And then just why I'm always going to be kind of bullish on meme coins, right?
Definitely.
I mean, this is definitely sparking such a massive trend.
And I'm just, you know, win Ghibli Launchpad, you know.
Win Ghibli Pump Fund.
Win Ghibli Pump, you know.
Like, this is really, I can imagine, imagine like even in the NFT scene, right?
Like the Ghibli NFT market, I mean, I could see it just popping up.
And like, I just, I know that, you know, we're all, we're all DGMs here.
And like, I want to keep my eye out for a lot of these. So I think,
you know, I definitely want to keep this kind of like a topic that we, we bring up every once in a while to see if we kind of can spot some of the, um, the gibbified memes, meme coins coming out.
Um, it's going to be pretty interesting to kind of watch as, uh, it kind of develops,
uh, by the way. Okay. So you guys are saying you're using chat GPT. I don't get it.
My chat GPT is being really goofy with all the trying to ghibli everything. So I don't know what
I'm doing wrong. It's kind of strange. I don't get it. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing.
kind of strange like i don't get it like maybe i just don't know what i'm doing
but anyways i want to welcome uh dogecoin algarin dogecoin welcome to the show man

always contrarian
not to Ghibli
oh damn it
Penny to Ghibli or not to Ghibli
I'm trying to think of a witty response.
You're gibbly if you do and you're gibbly if you don't.
You're gibbly if you do and you're gibbly if you don't.
What about you, Jack? To Ghibli or not to Ghibli?
Yes, of course. I mentioned I've Ghibli'd half my family already.
Wonderful. Dubdigital.
Definitely Ghibli. Huge fan.
I think it's going to be
cool to see
memeable moments
Ghibli style
like video
it would be
super cool
so I think
it's only going
do you think
that we're going
it's going to be hilarious to see Ghibli freak out about her 2026 awards. Why not?
It's going to be hilarious to see people
freak out about
Yeah, why not?
Instead of the Oscars,
we're going to call it
the Ghibli Awards.
The Ghibli's?
The Ghibli's.
Oh, shit. This is great. I love it. i love it i love it
oh god okay so
so what's new in the meme uh business guys have you seen that uh the pump fun decks that they launched is uh uh like within a few days it
already made like a billion dollars of volume like a lot of dexes oh yeah just wish to to to to have
like a billion dollars of volume after six months and uh this was was like only a couple of days in even though so this is why
memes and dreams you know hot or cold memes it doesn't matter you know they still drive the
market memes are such a you know a cornerstone cornerstone of the industry have become one
that they are what is driving volume
even though, you know,
everybody is hoping to see an altcoin run
and people, and to see like utility coins
start getting some love
that they definitely deserve.
Memes are still getting the the the front end of the
of the volume and of the speculation
i'm sorry what was that i was i was watching this video where this girl she's got a like a string
in a hot dog attached to it trying
to catch it in her mouth oh man i i watched i was just scrolling my my uh uh timeline yesterday at i
i was watching actual video short videos and i usually don't scroll like on tic TikTok with the videos. This was like the first time I did that. And it was Sydney Sweeney
I don't know how you call that.
Very nice underwear.
I should share
this video.
Sidney Sweeney in lingerie? I'd go this video. Was it Ghibli? Was it Sidney Sweeney Ghibli in lingerie?
I'd go for that.
Let's keep it family friendly, guys.
No family friendly.
When we started the spaces, we said either M or R.
This is not porn, though.
Yeah, we're just not filtering ourselves through the societal norms.
You know, we're adults here.
We all have ears.
Are you pulling it up?
By the way, what were you saying earlier, Ivan?
I'm sorry.
The video just caught my eye as I was scrolling.
And what were you saying?
I don't know, man.
I was saying something.
If I could kind of like lift back up what he was talking about.
He was talking about how.
Yeah, that the memes are still driving the volume you know astronomical
especially for or like a startup project not necessarily a company oh yeah yeah didn't I
just watch something about uh gosh I just saw a post and I've seen a lot of people react about it
about like some of the new listings on Binance that are like all these meme coins that they had
listed and like there was a bunch of people just really upset about it because gosh i'd have to go
back and look at it uh 20 million dollar like heavily sniped inside the coins allegedly i
didn't i've not actually done any dd on this yeah yeah that's that's kind of the problem because i think uh
the way that their voting works is uh that like insiders that have a lot of uh voting power can
can actually vote these in which is like you know sometimes you know we're all for this decentralization and nexus can do
whatever they want that's why we have pump fun but people turn to binance to do the vetting you know
uh to do the due diligence before listing something and now we have these insanely manipulated assets that are appearing out of nowhere on the exchange, which is why it's creating some backlash.
I'm sorry, but go ahead.
This has been going on for like, it started, if you guys remember, around the time Boom came out, Book of Memes, right?
Yeah, that was a really questionable launch, wasn't it?
Yeah, that was what really kind of put all this into question.
And that's where the real scrutiny began at first, where people started looking into what was getting listed and which tokens were kind of led or controlled by cabals and heavily
sniped and stuff like that. So I just want to make the comment that like this shit's been going on
for at least two years, far as I can remember. So I don't know why people are acting so surprised
now. This has been going on for a while. It doesn't really make sense. And yeah surprised now that's been going on for a while it doesn't really make sense and and yeah now that well that now it's like it's the community
is deciding that's that's the thing well is it really though too like because I
don't know point two I think from the the dude who the dev who created dogs
token he like I saw a post by him this morning had like tens of
thousands of likes and everything dogs basically the the dog token uh the room yeah yes that's
what i'm talking about it was leonitis that's exactly what i'm yeah yeah i sent out that tweet
this morning and i read it and i was like holy fuck because it got a lot of traction and i don't even uh i don't even see stuff from him so it came to the front front and center of my feed so
it wouldn't you know what i mean it stuck out uh that algo was feeding it to me and uh yeah
like what he was saying was correct like like his numbers and his holder count and
how many tweets uh you tweets his community is putting out
per day in comparison
to some of these tokens that have been
listed. They pale in
comparison and yet
his stuff isn't listed.
What's crazy,
yeah, so just
kind of jumping on that because I've been
a dog holder for a long, long
I mean, I have runes, so got the airdrop, all that fun stuff.
You know, like looking at his perspective, like early on, I just always thought he was just kind of like sore about a lot of things just because or just super bullish on dog and, you know, really wanted to make it happen. And I know Binance,
like, you know, I don't know if anybody's dealt with Binance, you know, or any centralized
exchange, you know, there's always some kind of negotiation, some kind of deal. And typically,
unless you're going through like various, you know, various, you know, accelerators or whatever
it is, you're typically going to have to come out of pocket and like and not not all cases right like I think so what's crazy is I always thought he was just
sore like at the time right like and upset um at nothing and just didn't want to pay the bill and
just like felt like he needed he deserved to just be like the first rune automatically listed, which, to be honest, it would have been great for the rune ecosystem just because it was so brand new.
It was the very first. It's actually a top token. It's not bad's not bad um dog is actually pretty listed pretty high so yeah i mean
and i followed that journey of just watching him like literally uh just be upset about uh
binance and like their different practices and stuff and like it just never really was apparent
because i mean i've dealt with binance i mean they just want some money up front you know which is crazy though and now to hear this just coming out and for him to just actually have like
a leg to stand on with the rest of the community and the rest of the people it's like it's kind
of crazy it's kind of sad but kind of crazy but I mean it kind of makes sense though.
what were you saying,
There's like some kind of,
voting or like,
it's a voting period.
Something like that.
I don't know.
Cause if that's the case,
then yeah,
you probably have centralization and,
people who hold,
whether they're through single wallets or multiple wallets that you can't make the connections to,
they could all be voting certain things in and be fucking gatekeepers, basically.
And a cabal, basically approving what gets listed and what doesn't, right?
I'm on CoinMarketCap right now and looking at their crypto news.
It says Binance initiates community voting for asset delisting starting march 21st 2025 um that was that was that was that news now
that's not the controversy news i don't think they're going to start delisting things uh where
the community can kind of go in and so i guess each verified account can cast votes for up to
five projects with a single vote allocated per project.
It's kind of interesting, kind of cool that you get five and it's a single vote and not like based off of a like a DAO system where it's like the biggest, you know, the biggest holder gets the, you know, the biggest votes.
That's not bad, in my opinion.
I kind of like that, but
I see what you're still saying is that the community
still gets the say,
and it can be gated
at one point.
but yeah you would have thought like as soon as i read that though um like i know that uh
leonitis is um yeah he's he's always tried to you know uh uh get to where he's being organically. Right. Um, and, uh, it, it just, um,
it, uh, it's definitely like, it's an area that, uh,
I think the industry really needs to kind of look into and scrutinize more.
Um, but also like, it just doesn't make a whole lot of, uh,
sense to me, even from a business practice or standpoint, why Binance wouldn't want to list
them already. You know, not only is it good for Binance, like, and at the end of the day, that's,
you know, their main concern, them and their shareholders or holders. Yeah, so like,
just some,
some things just don't,
don't make a whole lot of sense.
it's pretty crazy how all that turns out.
Plus I saw,
I saw some thumbs down in the crowd.
I saw a dogie or doji down there, thumbs downing on it. I mean, mean do you do you want to come up and give your takes on this and by the way guys like you know anytime if anybody wants to join the show
um request the mic feel free you know it's it's definitely you know open to anybody in the
audience we don't you know not token gated or anything. Oh, look, that was down. I
don't think he wants to come up here. Okay. No worries. No worries. Okay. Doggy, what do you
think about Doge Step? Should we come out with a new music genre called Doge Step?
Yes, I'm for it. 100%. Do it. I see shibs is down there laughing at us like yes
i mean yes we should who said yes
me 100 i love music i say bring it on distort the dog barks let's get the doge that popping dude we okay so who's who's who's coming with me
like i i'm so totally down for the doug somebody's tapping with skrillex he likes gripped up let's
get him involved dude we need it we need it i see we've got the bacon sandwich coming up from the
community of communities what's going on the? Yeah, what's up boys and girls?
What's up boys and girls?
Yeah, I thought I'd pop in, say hello.
Also, Shill MySpace, that's an hour away.
We're speaking to Bram Cohen, the founder of BitTorrent.
So he should be quite an interesting dude.
He's like one of the number one 3D puzzle creators
in the world.
Also rumored, or should I say accused, of being Satoshi Nakamoto.
But I believe that to be false.
But yeah, that should be an interesting chat.
So I'm looking forward to that.
That kicks off in like 50 minutes.
So yes, and similar kind of format to, was it last week or week before when we hosted you, Richard?
Definitely not.
This is definitely way more loose.
I'd like you to think that you can loosen up your tie a little bit in this show.
Maybe take a button off.
I'm going to undo an extra button on my shirt.
Yeah, maybe you can do two, but don't go any lower than three.
Nah, nah, because there's a very fine line between both ends.
You shouldn't have your top button undone up if you're not wearing a tie,
in my opinion.
One button undone is fine.
Two buttons is casual.
Three buttons is CNX Tuesday territory.
You know what I mean?
It's a little on the,
on the interesting side of things.
so the question is to give,
to Ghibli or to not Ghibli?
I just popped in to say hi because I know that you post this space in our Telegram every week.
And I often can't make it, so I could make it.
So I've just jumped straight in to say hi.
So do you know what a Ghibli is?
I mean, I thought it was the bits and pieces you pull out of a chicken
Oh no, that's giblets. That's giblets. Sorry, it's something completely different
Giblets is like How are you doing?
What's going on, buddy?
Sir, I am a beginner in crypto platform.
Wonderful.
Can you hold on one second?
Can you wait your turn?
Okay, go ahead and if you want to mute your mic for a second, we'll come to you, okay?
Can you mute your mic?
Yes, sir. Can I speak?
Not yet. Yes, you can, but in a second.
Zubekka Sandwich, sorry for that, that you were interrupted there.
We always like to, you know, we like to let new people onto the show at all times. You know, the show is open and we like new speakers and we like everybody's opinion,
but we definitely like to uh keep it respectful for
um our current speakers so yeah so i don't so you don't know what the ghibli uh do you know
what the ghibli trend is i mean i mean i'm sure you don't you don't live under a rock uh i've i've
seen it around i've seen that deck screener is full of the these tokens um so i'm assuming
there's some some kind of trend at the moment um is it something to do
with like a like an anime style artwork because anybody want to answer that question ac
no yeah you hit it right on the head dude it's basically just like a filter it's like a filter
that people are passing photos through on ai and it's like this crazy mind share happening it's pretty fun uh yeah you know what we've got an event uh tomorrow we're doing a music thing in
uh in spatial um and we created like some artwork for it and someone in the uh the meeting on
first day was like hey we should uh we should take advantage of this uh you know this this
current trend so we did we ran it for an ai um and it came out wicked i'll post it in the uh
in the chat if i can oh yeah yeah oh yeah now it's closed to me too uh you know you could just
you could find the post and then just pin it yes let's do that yes yes uh you said it's a you guys
are having a music party inside of the Metaverse?
Yeah, that's right. So we've invited a couple of our friends, Klee Jan, who is also known as the trap violinist.
He's a classically trained violinist and he puts his skills towards a hybrid of hip-hop, rap and violin.
So it's quite a unique kind of thing,
kind of niche that he's created for himself there.
And another guy called Atabody,
you might have come across him possibly.
He's quite active on Spaces.
He is an all-around artist.
So he does graphic art, art, music.
Him and his wife are a proper little powerhouse
and they're performing
as well so yeah it's the first one so it's going to be i'm going to be honest it'll be shit um but
it's kind of a proof of concept to kind of show that it can be done um and you know as long as
people want to be there and they want to participate and stuff then we'll make it more big and grand
and and that sort of thing uh we'll probably um uh token gate a little bit later um i like tickets um in
order to you know pay the music artists for their time i i myself and the team we won't take any
money out of that um that would just be purely for for the music artists to pay for their for
their time to uh to perform for us so that's that's the plan going forward anyway will there
will they be playing any doge steps there ah so he did there um i'm sure
that can be arranged you know i mean yes yes absolutely well and it's great to have you here
i know we were i was on your show uh last week and i was yeah we really enjoyed that dude that
was probably one of the the best um discussions that we've had for a good few
months. It is a, it was really refreshing to, yeah, to, to, to chill with you.
And for, I think, I think we, we were like two hours. I think it was,
it was certainly a long time. Yeah. It was definitely a while.
I mean, this is, this is one of the shows that I've, I've joined.
We've been a part, I've been a part of Memes and Dreams.
I mean, this is where we talk all about memes and dreams, even though I don't sleep very much.
But, yeah, it's definitely a lot different.
It's super fun.
I mean, we've got another one that's pretty big, pretty massive as well, which I'd like to invite you on as well.
So, anyways, thank you.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, if you schedule something, dudes,
and I can be there,
I'll quite happily come in and tell you about myself,
who we are, what we do,
and that sort of thing.
All right.
I see Faisal.
He's getting a little antsy.
He can't not unmute his mic.
So, what's up, Faisal?
How are you doing today up Faisal how are you doing today
uh yes sir thank you for uh listening me uh sir i am a beginner in this kip pro platform
before you go in here i have a question for you okay you ready yes sir yes no problem
to ghibli or to not ghibli uh no no ghibli no no sir i am uh new beginner in this platform
so i have a question you are what in the platform?
Yes sir You said you are new to the platform?
No, I am a beginner
Oh you are a beginner? Okay
So as a beginner are you looking at what are you looking at buying?
Are you looking at meme coins or are you looking at serious things? looking at meme coins are you looking at like seriously what do you got meme coin just I have a question just a little
question doge doge if you could say something about that dogecoin ETF because
it support dogecoin DC coin, DC chain. Am I right? Yes. We support Dogecoin. Yes sir. I interest
in meme coin. Do you like Dogecoin? Yes, yes, absolutely. I like this and I and I holding DC chain maybe $100.
Wow, so you are a part of the community and true OG here.
Yes, thank you sir.
Of course, sorry for that my English is not good because I'm from Bangladesh.
What language do you speak?
Well, if I was to speak your language, I could not do it.
Now I am living in Saudi Arabia.
My hometown is Bangladesh.
You know Bangladesh?
India you know India Pakistan a sin than other country Bangladesh awesome yeah I
India, Pakistan,
know of those countries I definitely don't know the language so I understand
we get it totally get it yes sir I can you told me for Doge ETF?
What about the Doge ETF? When are we gonna get it?
Of course we know they have Ethereum ETF then Bitcoin ETF.
I am waiting for Doge it here of course uh doge coin
yeah okay um well i know we definitely yeah who thinks doge deserves an etf here i think it
deserves anything i think it's the longest running meme coin in the industry
it's been around since uh 2013-14 uh that's a lot of years guys there's a lot of years to be
in the top this is a one kind of meme coin king doge coins i know this well it is It is in the top 10.
It is the number 9 meme point.
Yes, I know.
And I will say this.
If Doge can have a government,
a department of the government,
we're going to have an ETF.
And Doge is probably going to be the new world currency.
What do you guys think?
We doing it?
Yes, yes, we are.
I just found...
Would it be considered American? just found would it be considered american
would coin be considered american that's a really good question i i don't know no i mean it's
decentralized right that's the point yeah but i mean why couldn't it be considered american
well there is like a commercial commercial push for adoption for like American
made cryptocurrency. So that is something that would, I think, you know, take it the right way.
So I don't know if you guys heard or if anybody has been paying attention to the DC summit that
just recently happened on the 26th. And so there they announced several new things that are going to be happening here soon for crypto and the various regulations and sentiments that are coming out.
And I know that Trump wants to, you know, and this isn't, listen, not financial advice.
I mean, this is just, you know, information that I hear from people who are attending these events and stuff like that.
I'm not going to mention the names, but hopefully here in May, and this is just what I hear, of course, in May, that we're going to see some deregulation of a lot of American-made tokens and potentially no more of the capital gains.
What's up, Jamuk Cartoonist?
Welcome to the show here.
I'll get to you in one second.
I see we've got some hands up.
If you want to go ahead and mute your mic for a second.
You there?
Wonderful. Hello. Yes. um you there wonderful um hello yes hello hello welcome okay uh okay open loot you got your hand up uh what do you got hey richard yeah uh no i'm just uh i'm gonna have to get going guys
but i just wanted to thank you again for all your takes and everything uh hope you all have a
great weekend thanks for coming man yes yes always great to i gotta learn some from you guys dude i'm
not i'm not into into memecoms at all not nothing that i have against it of course but i just i'm
not a heavy holder of it so always great to to come in and, you know, learn from you guys.
So the question is before you leave,
will you remember when you look back in the past,
will you remember the jibbification of your life?
Yes, we probably are.
Well, no jokes aside.
I think what they're doing with the meme coins, it's very heavy.
It's very hard for a meme coin, not a meme coin, sorry, a filter, but especially that, you know, was introduced first in the space to break this bubble.
You know, it's very hard that what they've been doing and probably in some years we probably will remember them.
Interesting to see what new trends will come out with this.
I saw that you talked about a lot of them, but imagine if some of them actually happen.
It will be very interesting to see.
All right. Awesome.
Guys, we're going to wrap this space up.
We've got less than five minutes here in the space. I'm going to shoot it on over to Penny. After we shoot it over to Penny, I'm going to have the cartoonist guy go ahead and introduce himself. Penny, what do you got?
And yeah, so Penny, what do you got?
Yeah, I was just going to say that I think and a lot of people think that Doge is probably going to be classified as made in America or meet that standard.
Because even Billy M2K himself has mentioned that at the time he created Dogecoin, he was an American software engineer, even though he was born in Australia.
And then not only that, but I think with like, if you kind of look at what's going on with House of Doge, that is being touted as a made in America, if you look at the logo. And they're going to be heading up an operation of like 10,000 ASIC miners mining Dogecoin.
And they've already built a 10 million Doge reserve where they've purchased 10 million Dogecoin as well.
So I think that this is like if you
kind of draw these parallels and look
at them, I think that this is
probably done
strategically in order to probably
get approved as a Made in America
there's already multiple ETF
filings and I think the
responses are due as early as
April, I think think for some of them
wonderful it can always be extended right i'm i'm actually hoping that they extend them as long as
possible because i always envision doge as being like the tail end the blow off top for like
everything where like shit just goes fucking parabolic, and you save the best for last.
That's my hopes.
But, yeah.
Awesome, awesome.
Yes, Doge made in America coming to a theater near you.
The bacon sandwich.
I'll get to you one second.
I know we had the cartoonists come up here.
Cartoonists, welcome to the stage.
Welcome to the space.
We're about that end of wrapping things up,
but the question is to Ghibli or not to Ghibli?
The question is, are you there?
Well, to Ghibli or not to Ghibli?
I can't hear you.
To Ghibli or not?
That's fine.
Well, welcome to the space, man.
I'm going to assume you can't understand.
We're going to welcome you
next Friday, same time,
8 p.m. CET
or 1900 UTC.
Thanks, everybody,
for joining today.
It was a great space,
as always.
We hope you have some
cool topics for next time.
And thank you again
for joining. Thanks, you again for joining us
yes sure man go on you have a question sorry for disturbing my question is
what is Ghibli I can't understand because I am new you know it's a it's a
trend that's going on on Twitter it uh it's uh well when you're using
chat gpt to have like an anime uh filter on a picture stuff like that uh search search like
give me on in in uh in x the the search bar and you'll see what we mean. Thank you so much.
Anybody else has some last words before I wrap it up here?
Yeah, I'll jump in there real quick.
Yeah, just wanted to say thank you guys for putting this on.
I don't think a lot of people realize
how much work goes into putting on spaces like this.
So a massive shout out to the host and the co-hosts.
And obviously everyone that listens in as well.
You know, the reason these guys do it is for you guys.
But yeah, I've pinned up MySpace that starts in half hour.
I think it's going to be a great conversation.
I'd love for you guys to join us.
It's up there.
Go click it.
Go have a cup of tea.
Have some dinner.
Or lunch, depending on what time zone you're in or breakfast um yeah just yeah come join with us uh we'll we it takes
about sort of 10 15 minutes to get going um so yeah we kind of kick off at about quarter past
10 past quarter pass and uh we'll be doing uh tim youngman it's a guy that we've known for over
three years uh he builds on chia um and then we've got the CEO of Chia coming as well.
We were going to have Gene Hoffman, but he couldn't make it because he's flying. So Bram is going to join us.
He kind of went a bit quiet after he was accused of being Satoshi. So we're hoping to bring a welcoming atmosphere for him to come and have a chill conversation with us.
But Chia is a very interesting blockchain. We've featured gene Hoffman before and a lot here guys
And it's very interesting the way that works. It's kind of like Bitcoin but like
much approved upon rather than being sort of down the EVM route works from space and
Proof of space and time instead of proof of work, which is very interesting. And but yeah
Cheers guys, it was a big up big up to the host and co-hosts thank you
