#MVMF2022 What's Happening Share your story
Recorded: Aug. 27, 2022 Duration: 1:47:21Space Recording
Full Transcription
What's up, CryptoSeed and KennyTV?
I don't know what happened exactly, but I was in the space, and then it just kicked me out of the space.
I was like, what? I thought the space closed, and then it turns out it didn't close.
I just somehow just got disconnected, but the space didn't close.
I was able to reconnect, so that's really cool.
Thank you, Twitter.
I'm going to send you all some microphones so you can come up and speak if you want to,
because this is just a hint of what is up there with the future modern.
I want to hear, and I want to give you...
Oh, he left.
I was hoping he was going to stick around to talk about what he had going on.
Here we go. Let's see here.
We got some things happening here.
If anyone wants to, they can share.
This is the space for you.
You know how it is.
If you've been here before, we just kind of hang out for about an hour,
talking about what we're doing around the space, who's doing what where.
If you're into the music scene, I would love you to share.
If you have some shows, I know Binks had this thing going on last night with Third Planet Studios.
I couldn't get into it, but I was kind of upset because Grypter was there.
And I want to say, was that the first show with Bolt EVM?
Okay.
And I am a card holder.
I did grab my card.
If you haven't grabbed your card, well, I don't know if you missed out.
You might have to go buy a card.
But Bolt EVM, it's like they...
I see the request.
Let's see here.
It's underneath these dang closed captions, right?
And I can't turn them off.
They're just automatically on.
So Twitter, if you're listening, I want to be able to close off my captions.
Other than that, good morning.
That's interesting.
What's interesting?
The closed captions?
I'm just trying to use your word like you used it yesterday when we were on trying to figure out that other computer thing,
that other Discord thing.
And every time we had a problem, which was like two dozen times, you said, that's interesting.
I do like to use that word.
You are correct.
Well, that's interesting.
I love it.
I love it.
Binks, welcome to the stage.
How have you been?
What's going on?
Yeah, last night was the launch party.
And, oh, my God, Neos is so wild over there.
It's a total next-level experience.
So fun.
And just watching the boys hang out and build.
And, I mean, it's like watching adult grown-ups playing video games.
But if you look closely, they're, aside from some fun and games, I think I got a clip of them, like, climbing through tables and stuff.
But, you know, they're constantly building and teaching and learning and experimenting and pushing the limits.
And it's wild.
My computer, I can go into the scene, but I can't really move my avatar too much because then I'll crash my whole setup.
But acapella, he can run it, and he builds on there.
So I got to upgrade some gear for sure to have more fun.
But my son, oh, my God, he comes in with the tracker, body trackers on and everything, and he has some fun with them.
Really cool experience.
Yeah, bolt rocks.
They do rock.
And, yeah, when I first saw what was going on over there, I was like, wait a minute.
So if you're a cardholder, you have access to these venues.
And not only these venues, but, like, you can put them in any world, and you can do anything.
And I'm going to stick with Nios here for a minute because Nios is just epic.
You can do anything that you want to over Nios.
The limit is your imagination there.
Like, there's really, there's whatever you want to do, that's where it can happen.
And however heavy you want it to be, what the graphics, I mean, it is all possible right there.
It is wide open and free.
It's free.
You don't have to pay for land.
You just sign up, and you get property to build on, to do whatever you want to.
Free is good.
I've noticed that's been a topic lately is, you know, I wouldn't call it controversy, but, like, you know, why pay for land when there's these other options to gain it for free?
And I've always looked at it as, like, you know, the limitations that we hit, like, on Spatial or Hubs and, you know, Nowhere and stuff.
Amazingly, it's all made me appreciate Mozilla Hubs so much more.
I miss it.
It was the other night we had an awesome gig for MetaJax and with Arturo, and I missed Hubs, man.
I missed our second floor, hanging out at the bar, talking, being able to watch the show at the same time.
And just little features of, like, those invisible sound boxes and stuff just make such a difference on the experience.
So, yeah, hopefully it all incorporates into OVR, and that'll be awesome.
And Alan, with that Burning Man, oh, my God.
So awesome.
I'm so happy.
I'm so proud of everybody, what everybody's doing.
It's so cool.
I love watching it pop up.
Yeah, there's so many things.
So, Alan, with the Burning Man, yeah, that's epic.
He went, he did a pretty good job over there, I'm not going to lie.
And the fact that it's located, and was it, you were the one that said, hey, let's do something at Burning Man.
I think that was your idea.
I said, hey, let's do all, you know, get some stuff over and over the reality, lock it in there on, into this Burning Man, you know, land spots, and then give them something to look at, too.
Yes, super, super epic.
I wonder if we could get some sort of performance in that land during Burning Man, see if we can get them to change out the sounds or something, see if we could get them to, you know, do grip their performance in Burning Man.
I might be rugging.
Yeah.
Is it me?
Check, check.
Mic check one.
I see you, Hamad, I'm going to bring you up as well.
I see Binx is, says, connecting, so she may be doing her thing over there.
Let's see if we got somebody else you're requesting again, going to bring you up.
Boom, boom.
How are we doing today?
Hamad, welcome to the stage, my friend.
Hamad is, like, one of the coolest people.
Every time I see Hamad, like, retweet and like and retweet and like and share, you want something shared, you want something likes and retweeted?
Hamad is the man.
Did anyone see, while I'm thinking about it, and since you mentioned OVR and or over the reality and the Burning Man and we're talking about music and this music festival and stuff.
So, they shared out this tweet the other day talking about the full body motion tracking stuff.
Okay, but instead of needing a suit or, and I'm a huge fan of Move.ai, okay, and everything they're doing over there and they're actually supporting some stuff with, with MVMF so that people can.
And, uh, so if you are an artist and things like that, we'll be able to try and get you set up with them so you can record your, your whole set.
So, if you're a full piece band, like you got five, six members, you can record everybody doing a full live show and it'll, it'll, you know, put body rig you up and then we can put you in and put whatever avatars and stuff.
We want to, you want to on top of that, which is super cool because that's usually very expensive tech, but Move.ai is making it affordable.
And so, they're letting us, you know, kind of connect with all of that as well.
And that's super cool.
But what over the reality hits is put out in this tweet is you'll be able to set up your laptop, right?
So, for the OVR live or the over live, whatever they're calling it, you will be able to have that motion capture, captured with just your laptop camera.
Like, you won't need five or six cameras surrounding you.
You won't need a mocap suit.
You won't need any of that.
You'll just set up your laptop and, and go to town.
So, if you're a DJ or you're a speaker or doing anything like that and you're walking around doing your dances and stuff, it'll all be captured off a laptop camera.
That's just, that's so insane.
So, these things are coming.
I'm hoping all this stuff gets rolled out before MVMS so that we can have somebody like MetaDesign, who I call my Meta DJ, okay?
Because I want to say he was like the first community DJ on over the reality and it would be really cool to have him debuted again during Metaverse Music Festival 2022.
I think that would just be really awesome to have him in there.
I may have already put him on the list and then he can take himself off if he wants to.
So, that said, we've got Crypto Seed up here.
We've got the Derby one in the crowd.
We've got Kenny TV with the Octo Heads.
And Octo Heads are, as you, I don't know, I haven't changed this profile picture in over a year and a half, okay?
And so, for me to add my Ossubox in this Octo Head on this PFP right here, I'm just saying, saying but not saying, that should mean something, okay?
Octo Heads, for those of you that don't know, they have this like the world's largest floating island over in the Philippines, okay?
And not only do they have the world's largest floating island over in the Philippines, right?
But they also, when you go into the sandbox for Alpha Season 3 right now, the very first avatar you're going to see, you're going to look to the right, and the very first character you're going to see is an Octo Heads, okay?
What does that mean?
Well, I mean, it is the sandbox where you've got Snoop Dogg that's in there at the same time, you've got the Bored Apes that are in there at the same time, you've got the World of Women that are, those are the first things you see are Bored Ape, World of Women, and Octo Heads.
Those are the first three things you see.
So, just to kind of, where do the Octo Heads rank inside of this NFT, PFP space and everything?
They're the first character you see inside of the sandbox.
So, I think that's pretty cool.
They're doing a lot of really cool things.
The game that they have inside of the sandbox is very educational.
So, when you go and you run into a character and you click on it, you talk to it, it's not like, oh, yeah, I'm going to eat your brain.
It gives you facts and information about that thing.
So, if it's a fish, it tells you what type of fish it is and then gives you these educational facts.
So, they're doing a lot of really cool things.
They've got an actual museum, underwater museum they're building over, I want to say, in the Philippines as well.
So, they're very tied to that side of the world.
Really cool people.
The Derby one.
Binks, you're back up on the stage.
Anybody can interrupt me at any time because we can talk NBMF.
We can talk music.
We can talk NFTs.
We can talk about what's happening in this space.
Welcome to Saturday.
Let's chill.
Yeah, I'm back.
I think I'm rugged and I was going over a bridge on a little road trip.
We've been unpacking or packing up my grandmother's house for the past month or so.
So, fun times.
But, yeah, yeah.
I was the one that pitched out the Burning Man because I know some people that have their clans and they go.
And I've always wanted to go, but not unless I have, you know, the funds and, you know, my creativity in full force to show up with something spectacular.
And, you know, they do things by trade over there.
It's not money.
So, I've been pondering for probably a decade now on when I do make it there.
What am I going to offer to trade for food and survival things?
But, I was thinking masks.
I used to make Venetian masks and I thought that was something I could trade.
But, yeah, no, it just gave me the idea and then we pulled it up and we saw that, like, massive amount of hexes were purchased over there.
And how Alan got that one right in the middle is amazing.
So, he scored on that one.
We were looking on the outskirts to grab a couple because there's more availability if we wanted to all bunch up together.
Yeah, he scored.
He got it, like, dead.
He's in a prime spot there.
I think he had a connection.
I'm thinking he talked to somebody.
He probably searched around for an owner and said, hey, let me use these plots to land.
I just have this feeling.
Yeah, he came in hot on that one.
He did.
He did.
Hey, Binks, I came to your spatial jazz thing the other night.
That was really cool, man.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, Jax Hideaway, Meta Jax.
He did this awesome project with Arturo for the Crypto Jazz Festival last year.
And he just dropped some new singles on his.
He's got all this crazy tokenomics.
I'm still trying to understand and comprehend it.
But, yeah, it's successful.
And what did he post the other day?
300 shows that he's done since, I think, March 2020.
And this was the first one that warped all the universe and the metaverse all together back and forth from his stage to our stage and multiple other stages back to the screen live on his screen on his stage.
So, yeah, that was totally intertwining it all together.
I had a little trouble navigating.
I haven't done much work in spatial or spent much time in spatial yet.
But I finally got myself in there and figured out how to move around.
And I actually came up to you and I was trying to talk to you, but I guess my mic wasn't on or something.
And I tried to talk to acapella, too.
I just don't know if you guys heard me or whatever, but I'm trying to figure it all out in there.
I'll be back.
Yeah, we were multitasking.
I heard a couple people in the background while I was maybe on Discord or something.
And then when I came back, I didn't know who was talking.
And I had two avatars in there because I live streamed from one profile and then I go hang out with the other one.
So you may have been talking to the one that was just standing there like a mannequin.
And I saw you move around a little bit after I talked to you.
But, yeah, maybe you were doing something else while your mannequin was standing there for sure.
Yeah, possibly.
And then also my mannequin, my avatar was just whatever they gave me, which I think was, you know, like a 30-year-old woman or whatever.
So you might not have recognized me.
Yeah, you know, that's what I was saying earlier.
I miss some of the features from Mozilla Hubs.
You know, I have bad hearing.
So on Hubs, I'm able to, like, click on each of you and pump up your individual volume for me.
If I don't want to hear someone, I can mute them or lower their volume.
And, yeah, you know, Spatial is newer.
So we'll see.
Every month they seem to drop some more features.
So we'll see what they drop next.
The real takeaway for me is that going to a concert in Spatial is fun.
You know, and there's people there.
And it could be a social thing, you know, once I figure out how, you know, how to talk to people and stuff.
But, yeah, I thought it was great.
If you guys, I haven't had a group in there to, like, troubleshoot like we were able to do on Hubs.
But if you guys want to have a little gathering in there and let's just test things out and see what we can and can't do.
I know they have some fun, like, items, objects that you can pull up.
And, you know, like I was going around handing people martinis and glasses of wine and stuff.
I think the place is still a mess with, you know, the after party of wine glasses around the scene that I got to clean up.
But not too much of a selection, but hopefully it'll get there.
Definitely not what they were doing in Neos last night.
I mean, they had these, like, magical orbs and light painting that they were doing and some wild shit last night.
It was definitely next level.
By the way, Binx, if you need people to test stuff, I mean, you can always DM me.
You know, I would love to come over and help you do that stuff.
Please, please bring me in because I learn every time I do that stuff.
Yeah, definitely.
We'll be back home.
We got a show tomorrow night in CryptoVoxels.
And we're still learning that one.
And this will be our second show with NFT Music Hall.
And we got Grifter again tomorrow, Hexadai.
So if you missed him last night, tomorrow night at NFT Music Hall, it'll be Grifter, Matthew G, and Eclectic Method will also be a feature there.
So that should be a good show.
Fun jams.
That sounds like an epic lineup.
Grifter, Matthew, and Eclectic Method.
It's like, yeah, you stack that lineup for sure.
And which spot is this is in the spatial spot?
This is in which stage are we going to?
Because you've got venues all across the metaverse.
Well, this one is Ellen's stage that we helped him launch and debut two weeks ago.
So this is NFT Music Hall in Voxels.
So, yeah, you know, I've been struggling trying to get the audience into, you know, our build.
So I've kind of been handing off the goods to other fellow stages and stuff until we can, you know, get everybody showing up.
And when that comes, then, you know, I'll start enjoying our shows again.
But, yeah, they definitely have the access to a bigger audience over there.
So, yeah.
Felons, he's tearing it up over there with NFT Music Hall.
That's what's up.
That's what's up.
Yeah, we got this one's an electronic set.
And then we've got September 4th is going to be a hip hop event.
And, oh, my God, there's so many hip hop artists that we have access to.
It's hard because we're just trying to do, like, a three or four person lineup.
And but we got Louis C. Rhymes.
We're going to have MiG 718.
I don't have my list in front of me, but that's going to be, like, September 4th.
And then we're already planning for September 18th.
So, yeah, the shows are coming nonstop.
And then MVMF.
Then we got November.
That's going to be awesome.
That sounds like I'm sitting here listening to you and I'm scrolling through this top up here.
And, yeah, there's I'm excited.
So, Migs is finally getting in the metaverse, like, for real, for real.
Yeah, you know, it's going to be.
It's a little bit of a mission because, like, he just got in.
He's young.
He's out in Vegas right now for that.
I believe that's what his dad told me.
Mike Loco, that's the manager.
So, it's not like he's going to be onboarding full-blown Web 3 because he is killing it in Web 2 right now and establishing, you know, as a young artist.
So, definitely going to find the balance.
Mike Loco is coming on board with us with Meta Builders.
And we're going to use Migs as, like, a prodigy.
So, definitely going to have that balance.
But, you know, little by little, we're weaseling him into the scene.
He did a mini concert with Jay Byrne one time on Twitter Spaces.
And that was awesome.
You know, everybody was awesome in that lineup.
And that was so fun.
And wait for Jay Byrne to do another one because it was definitely successful.
But, yeah.
Right on.
But it's cool to see because I remember meeting him down at South by Southwest because you told me, you said, hey, go meet this guy.
And so, we ended up being able to connect on a street corner.
And I was down there with the sax man who's, you know, a Web 3, Web 2, you know, who's just a music artist, you know, does these things where, you know, he's always traveling, does crypto, does NFTs, does all this stuff.
But at the same time, does in real life shows, you know, because, you know, that's anybody that loves music.
You know, I mean, why would you ever stop, right?
And so, it was really cool to be able to meet these people, you know, like in real life and hear their story of, you know, what is it that they're worried about in the space?
You know, what scares them?
And they get to see their reaction because I got to see their face when they saw your build on Over the Reality.
You know, when they were like, wait a minute, that's me right there.
And that, you know, I'm on your phone.
It's like, yeah, you're on the phone right now.
Like, you can see it.
So, you know, and they just watching their reaction to it was, I don't always get to see that because usually it's in a distance, right?
Usually I'm just seeing their avatar inside of the experience, but to actually see their physical face and be like, wow, that's me.
Like, you know, it was really, it was really cool.
So, and I got, I didn't build it.
You built it, right?
And, but I got to see the reaction for something that you did.
So, it was really cool.
And that's even better.
It's even more cool that they're finally like coming full circle into this whole space as well.
And maybe during NVMF, we'll have this whole, you know, third planet lineup with, I guess you said they're coming on with meta builders.
So, you know, more than likely that's the way it's going to be.
They'll be like this whole, there'll be a few different stages with their pictures on them.
So, that's awesome.
You're doing it.
You're doing that thing you wanted to do.
You're bringing the artist in.
That's awesome.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, it's just having a, I'm going to do a prerecorded, I think, for NVMF like we did for New Year's.
Because I think that's the easiest to get a promo for as many artists as we can squeeze into one hour.
So, that's my next mission now after I get some of these events out of the way and start chasing down the artists.
Give me your music.
Film it.
That's the fun part.
Right.
Stinking on.
So, I don't know if anybody's noticed up in the top here with this nest.
Like, I keep seeing these dots pop up, like multiple dots.
And I'm like, dang, who's posting all this stuff up here?
And then I see it's like all crypto seed.
I'm like, dang, crypto seed, stop shilling yourself.
And then I started looking through.
I was like, oh, none of these are crypto seeds information.
So, apparently, if you're popping up in the chat, he's going to go look at what you've got going on.
And he's just going to start sharing it with everybody here in the chat, which is stinking awesome.
I love it because, you know, you're really highlighting, like, everybody that comes into the room here.
And that's, yeah, even the funny stuff, like Buxton up here, like, just fix the flat work on an inflatable mattress.
That is a really good question.
And I would like to know the answer to that question.
So, if anybody does know the answer to that question, you know, please share with the group.
But right behind that, we've got Bobowski, Altered, Derby, Crypto Seed, Over the Reality.
Kenny TV has an amazing story.
I don't know.
I guess Kenny left.
Dang it, Kenny.
Then you got Hamad up here who's got his OVR meme contest.
We got Joe.
Okay, Joe, I like your video, too.
Like, you're right.
That is the way we should be with holding crypto and, like, getting into this space.
You got Meta Design, the Meta DJ, Alan Walker with Burning Man, Creator Jam talking about some Neos, Third Planet Studios, and Chibu, Future Modern.
And I do want to say, on behalf of Future Modern and Sound Clash, because that's a stinking, really cool game.
And they have their avatar sale going on right now.
Okay?
And the way the game works is it's a shooting game.
But instead of shooting people with bullets, you shoot them with sound.
And you try and bring them to your stage.
And so what you're doing is you're running around shooting these people with sound.
Like, and pew, pew, pew, pew.
But it's like music.
Okay?
And so when you get your avatar, you get four one-of-one copies of some music.
And then it's boom.
And you shoot them with sound.
And then you bring them over to your stage.
Okay?
And when you bring them over to your stage, it's like you're winning with sound.
All right?
And so you get these things going over there, winning with sound.
And I haven't seen a shooting game like that yet.
We've got Crypto Arcade in here.
We got Lindsey in here.
We got Bobowski, Buxton.
If you want to grab a mic, feel free to grab a mic.
Wayne, I don't know that we have met yet.
Hey, Wayne looks like somebody we really want to hear from.
Wayne, if you're available down there, you want to come up and speak.
I'm sorry, Hex, but this guy has his pinned tweet.
If you guys haven't seen it, it's really cool, man.
It looks like Wayne woke up from a stroke and became a painter.
And he couldn't paint, couldn't draw before.
I'm just reading the headlines here.
But that's a really neat pinned tweet, man.
Sorry, Hex.
Don't apologize.
You interrupt me all the time.
Anyways, it's cool.
I have no feelings when people interrupt me in this space,
unless it's like they're interrupting me and be like,
you're full of crap and you're a racist and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then I'm like, mute, out.
Okay, so, and that's just too easy to fix.
You know, we can fix that real quick.
But when you're interrupting and be like, no, this person's like crazy artist
and we really need to hear their story.
I'm like, okay, well, maybe I need to hear their story.
Maybe they got a good one.
And then you're like, check out their art.
And I'm like, oh, it's pretty dope.
I do want to hear about their art.
I do want to know how they got in here.
I would like to hear these stories.
So, Wayne, feel free to come on up.
MetaDesign, feel free to come on up.
Derby, you're already up here.
Speak, my friend.
What's up, people?
My people, good morning.
I'm just walking around the Hollywood district of Portland, which feels very much like LA.
But anyways, first off, I kind of want to just thank you all for building.
Like, seriously, I don't know if you guys get the recognition that you deserve yet or the appreciation for helping to build.
It's something I said I was going to do a year ago, but I haven't touched it.
So I really appreciate everybody that's actually building and doing what you can to help expand and become the base of what will be in the next five years.
So I just want to shill my appreciation.
Take it back.
Stop shilling in my space, man.
Especially shilling appreciation.
What is that?
What is it?
Wayne.
It's a new NFT collection.
I love the app, Wayne.
Welcome to the stage.
Crypto Seed loves your art.
He got us all interested.
Now we want to hear it from your, we want to hear it in your voice.
Just excuse the way I am talking because I'm going through chemo at the moment.
You know, I've got a stage four cancer and I have a neurological condition.
So I do apologize the way I'm speaking.
So I'm really struggling at the moment.
Yeah.
So would you like me to share my story?
Well, now I almost feel bad for making you talk and share your story.
Yeah.
But if you feel free, this is, this is your space too.
This is a, we, inside this space, we're all artists, we're musicians, we're people that love NFTs, the metaverse, and you know, all the things that make this world a beautiful, better place.
And, yeah, so we're just in here sharing what we do, how we got here.
Give us your story.
Okay.
I'll try my very best, but just excuse the way I'm talking because, yeah, I'm really struggling, you know.
So, okay, so, September 2016, I actually passed away three times where my girlfriend brought me back and the ambulance came and also brought me back.
And, yeah, but anyway, I was in and out of hospital and December 2016, I landed back in hospital and that's when I found out that I had a stroke.
And, and I, I also found out that I have cancer and it was a really stage four when I, when I found out and a neurological condition where it affects my brain.
I have seizures.
It's like Parkinson's, but not Parkinson's.
So, I'll have seizures every day, you know, it affects my nerve system and that, you know.
So, I've been bedridden for six years now and, yeah, I can't do much.
But anyway, I was a very sporty person.
I played soccer, football for 25 years.
I played, I done triathlons, played rugby, cricket, you know, I knew nothing about art, never went to any galleries at all, never held a paintbrush in my life before.
So, but anyway, when I woke up that morning, I had an urge to draw and I asked someone for a pencil and paper.
The next minute I started sketching, but my mind was blank, you know, and all these images were appearing on the paper and it was pretty scary.
It felt like someone jumped in my body and took over my whole body, you know, and just started drawing for me.
But anyway, I shared my story.
Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm talking so weird.
But anyway, I shared my story and the media got hold of it and I became, became famous overnight as well, you know, and I've been on TV, radio, newspapers all around the world.
I've been on Channel 5 News, BBC News, Australian Morning Show, Russia TV, they've done a documentary about me that was 40 minutes long.
I don't know, so many TV programmes I've been on, YouTube channels and newspapers, oh, so many, you know.
And I was, I was in the spotlight for over three years, hanging out with famous actors, famous singers, you know, dining with them, drinking with them.
And galleries were contacting me, Wayne, we want to display your work in London, UK.
Your work is so unusual, you know, and unfortunately I couldn't do the galleries.
The tumours spread all over, you know, I struggle to breathe every day, you know, I'm fighting for my life every single day.
And, yeah, unfortunately I couldn't do the galleries.
So, I, even today I can't paint anymore, you know.
But three months ago I bought myself a tablet, an expensive software to go for the tablet.
But unfortunately I can't use the tablet because of the brain damage.
So, all I do is use one page and I hand draw all my NFTs on this one page and all the accessories I use.
Also hand draw.
So, say if I want one of my images to wear a shirt or a pants or smoke a cigar or a pipe or whatever, you know, have a hat on.
It's all hand drawn.
And I've created these aliens.
And now, these aliens used to do with my past and my present.
Sorry.
There's a surfer alien.
There's a football alien.
There's a time alien.
And so on and so on.
Now, I used to surf.
I used to play football.
And the time aliens used to do with three times I passed away.
So, each of the aliens got a name.
And I'm going to be using 100 of each.
So, there'll be about, I think there's 20 I've done so far.
Yeah.
So, there'll be about 2,000 of these.
The project hasn't been launched yet.
I have got a few on crypto.com.
These are a few of my original paintings and alternative entities on Foundation.
And some on Telos blockchain.
But none of my projects have been launched at the moment.
The first alien collection should be launched very soon.
I'm not too sure when.
But I can't do any of that, any of the menting, any of the, you know, promoting myself, unfortunately, because of my condition, you know.
So, I just come to this place just to share my story and, you know, and to tell people about my project or try and talk to people about my project.
But, you know, I do struggle every day with life, you know.
But, you know, I've been, it felt like, it feels like I'm being reborn, you know, because before my illness, I was teased quite a lot, you know.
I tried to commit suicide, everything, you know.
And, you know, and I was a very quiet person, you know, drank on my own, went to the pubs, drank on my own and everything.
Now, gosh, I got so many friends around Twitter spaces and all over the world, you know.
I, you know, when I first became an artist, I sold over 300 paintings my first year as an artist.
I sold over 1,000 paintings of, okay, I can't, I can't sell them anymore because I can't do the packaging and everything like that, you know.
And so, I do struggle to sell my original artwork nowadays.
But, yeah, but at least I can concentrate now on NFTs.
And I tell everybody never to feel petty of me because this is the happiest I've ever been, you know.
And I am extremely happy.
I know I sound a bit down today, but it's because of the chemo.
But normally I'm smiling, laughing and everything.
So, I do apologize for that.
But, yeah, you know, I wouldn't give this to my worst enemy, but I'm so happy I've got the cancer.
I'm happy I've got the neurological condition because I found a voice, I found art, and I found friends around the world.
So, thank you each and every one of you.
You know, I want to chime in, Wayne.
You know, we met sometime last year through Breathe and hanging out in those spaces back then.
And I'm just so happy to hear your voice again over here.
And if anybody here doesn't know of Wayne's artwork, I mean, it truly is some of the most amazing pieces that you'll ever see.
I mean, aside from the miraculous story behind it.
But I'm glad you're still here, Wayne, and fighting the good fight for this.
And definitely keeping you in our prayers over here.
It's so nice to see you again.
Sorry, the voice is breaking up.
At least I had time to share the story.
Lots of love, Tia.
Nice seeing you again.
Definitely.
You know, you are special in this community.
I mean, there are people that don't even know how to draw a straight line.
And you woke up with that instant talent one day.
And I kind of wish I could wake up with that one day.
But, you know, you're amazing in the community.
And I think everybody should know who you are.
So, Wayne, this space is recorded.
And I just wanted your permission.
Because sometimes what I do after these spaces, I go back and I listen to the recordings.
And then I'll take the snippets from them.
And then I share them back out.
So, like, say, I like, you know, somebody shares something.
They share their story.
And I'm like, oh, that's a good story.
Like, then I'll go and put it on, you know, LinkedIn or Instagram.
I'll share it back again on Twitter.
Twitter kind of cuts down to time.
But on these other platforms, I can share it longer and bigger.
And just to – so, if you want to DM me any of the links that you want added in so that people can go and find you and where you want them to find you and stuff like that, feel free to jump in my DMs and say, okay, send them to these places.
Because there's a good chance I'm going to take everything you just said and I'm going to share it back out.
That said, go ahead, Derby.
Oh, excuse me.
I was going to say, like, I really enjoyed your story.
It's obviously very touching and inspiring.
And I think more people need to hear it.
I'd love to interview you for a blog I write for.
We can do it in the DMs.
You know, if it's – you can write it out if that's easier for you.
Or we can do a video.
And then I would just transcribe it.
Whatever is easiest for you, I'm okay with.
But I'll DM you if that's okay.
Yeah, that's perfect okay for me.
You know, you can do a video.
That's quite all right.
You know, I've been on so many bloody videos.
I'm used to it.
But, yeah, absolutely.
And, yeah, I've got links on my link tree in my profile.
How do I share that to you?
I'm not 100% sure.
Oh, if you can grab it from there.
I can grab it from there.
That works.
Oh, thank you, sir.
Yeah, because I'm really – yeah, because I'm really struggling at the moment.
Because, unfortunately, the chemo kills the dead cells plus the good cells, you know.
So, yeah, it's really hard at the moment.
But I'll be all right after a few days.
Good story.
Great story.
I'm sorry about the chemo.
I've never had to go through it, so I don't – I can't – I don't fully understand everything you're going through.
But I know that I don't want to.
And, you know, I feel for you that you are.
So, I'm glad that you were able to share your story, grab the mic, speak what you could, and, you know,
and be a part of the growing community and be a part of making this space beautiful and better for everybody else involved.
So, I did pass out a couple mics, and I'm going to keep throwing mics out.
So, I see, you know, Meta Designed.
I'm going to keep throwing your name out there because I'm kind of a big fan.
You know, Dede, I think I've thrown you like five mics because, again, I'm just a big fan.
And, for those of you that don't know, Dede has a show every Thursday.
It's 11 EST, 11 AM EST, somewhere around in there.
It's a great vibe, you know, playing music from across the Metaverse, from different platforms, highlighting artists every week.
He's probably one of the biggest supporters that I know.
But they have, there's this Afro Droids party going on tonight, okay?
And it's the Metaverse Video Festival.
I don't know that I've ever, like, you know, there's the MTV Awards or whatever, MVMAs, whatever they're called, right?
That's going on.
But these are just strictly Metaverse music videos, right?
And, Dede, correct me if I'm wrong.
I'd love to hear what you got to say on it if you want to come up and say this is what's actually going on.
You got it all wrong.
But there's, like, a whole list of different artists that are going to be performing, that are going to be highlighted tonight.
And MTV, I know they added a Metaverse, you know, a Metaverse Awards to their new, to their list of awards that they're handing out in their own thing.
But this is strictly, like, these are the, go ahead, Dede.
I see you.
Yes, yes, yes, y'all.
Thank you so much.
As it dies, you know, I really appreciate everyone.
I've been really enjoying it.
When I really identify, you know, with your story, I must say you're good.
You're good, fam.
I see the David one.
Big shout out to our Bains.
You know, I always...
Follow me.
Yeah.
My fam.
I, you know, I can't actually, you know, say less of how the community, you know, has been to me.
You know, so what else, you know, when you sent me the space link, I was actually on a section.
So if you can hear from the background, there's a studio section going on.
But, yeah, I need to come spend some time here, you know, share synergies.
I'm Dede Oku, and I'm from West Africa, Nigeria.
You know, I've been playing around crypto and blockchain since February last year through Dow Records.
So I'm a co-founder to C1, CTRL.
So recently, I host Afrofuture Radio every Thursday, 4 p.m. West African time to 5 p.m. West African time.
So we project these music NFTs from blockchain streaming platforms like M&A and Tamago, you know, audios.
So not just projecting the songs, but the artists can also leverage on, you know, getting paid through these decentralized platforms.
So it's just what we do, promote and, you know, interview and the rest.
Also, I have this, this is my song.
I dropped the audio NFT actually with Dow Records at I.O. during the Sound Splash series.
So, yeah, the video as a one-of-one is up there.
The auction ends on my birthday, 1st of December.
So, yeah, I'm excited to be with the community.
You know, it's just been so amazing, you know, doing this whole thing with you guys.
Yeah, Debbie, go ahead.
Put it on me.
Put it on me.
Yeah, so I'm really excited about MVMF as well.
Last year was, it was really a big one.
You know, there's this event also coming up later today, 10 p.m. West African time.
It's AfroDroid, you know, with Metaverse video.
So it's just a way to a bit.
And they are also, it's also their anniversary, right?
So it's a big one.
If you're, you know, if you're opportune, you just try to come around AfroDroid.io.
Then it will take you straight.
So we just party, you know, in a Meta way.
So, yeah, it's been so great with the MVMF as well.
If we just keep up all these, you know, Meta events going on and sharing synergies,
I think it's just what's up.
And definitely in real life, we'll rock in real life.
Big one.
And much love to everyone building.
I appreciate the time.
You know, I'm always glad you come in and share.
And so you're sitting inside of a session right now.
You're recording right now, which is, you know, we get to be maybe, maybe we'll hear the Twitter space on that recording back in the, you know, in the future.
It'll be like we kind of come through osmosis, you know, getting inside the hidden mic somehow.
Everybody makes some noise.
Let's see if we can get inside the recording.
Get inside that recording back there.
That'd be kind of cool.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to, I see Bobowski.
It's funny because, you know, it could be true.
We can get inside that recording.
But I'm super stoked about the Metaverse Video Festival tonight and the anniversaries that are happening.
I was inside of a space with Louie and Eminet the other night.
I want to say it was Thursday night.
So Eminet had their space and Louie C.
Rhymes was on there.
Louie C.
Rhymes, for those of you who don't know, started the hip hop heads, right?
That was kind of one of his projects.
And when he dropped that, he dropped that.
So NVMF this year is going to be November, like 18th and 19th, right?
But we're going to kind of kick it off, you know, that Thursday night before.
And that Thursday night before is actually November 17th.
And so I'm sitting inside this space, the Eminet space with Louie and Louie.
And I said, hey, Louie, you're going to be involved with NVMF this year.
He goes, well, actually, my anniversary date for my hip hop heads is November 17th.
I said, wait a minute.
He said, right.
So there's a good chance that we'll have like this big party kind of kick off NVMF and at the same time celebrate the anniversary of the hip hop heads.
And just do that whole big thing.
And if you are a hip hop head holder, you'll have that token gated access inside of the Crypto Boxer spot.
I was hanging out over there with Crypto Seed yesterday.
We were looking around and just, you know, getting hyped because November 17th is the kickoff party for NVMF.
And what better way than to celebrate one of the, you know, when I'm not, I can't say OGs, right?
Because the real OGs have been here since like 2008.
You know, Imogene, Heap, you got, you know, Fake Rares.
You got all these people that have been in here since, you know, really day oners, okay?
And I feel like the rest of us, we're just like, we're just the community.
And I say just the community, but we are the community.
It's the people that started the towns and then all of us moved into it, okay?
And I'm glad we're here because, you know, there wouldn't be a town without the people living in it.
And that's what makes NVMF so special is you look at the size of the town and we're like, dang, we're not just a little town anymore.
We're a city.
We've got apartment buildings.
We've got hotels.
We've got venues where people party and play sports.
We got it all now.
And it's because we all came in and said, we're going to build this thing.
We've even got a crypto arcade over here.
And I would love for crypto arcade to jump up and grab a mic.
I want to say they were heavily involved with NVMF last year, having some games, doing some things like that out inside the space.
Definitely check out what they're doing over there.
So, J-Day, thank you for sharing and organizing all that stuff that we got going on tonight for all of us to go party.
And let's see, who else?
Where are we at?
We got it.
Go ahead, Derby.
Yeah, just one quick thing.
Hey, Wayne, I DM'd you.
Could you just DM me your email address and we'll coordinate from there?
Thank you, brother.
Yeah, I just DM'd you.
Sorry, Dave.
I just DM'd you.
It's like the DM space.
What's up, Dere?
Yeah, it's like the DM space.
Oh, thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this energy.
I really appreciate it.
You know, it's our thing.
Like you said, you know, the OGs are there.
We're just a community and we definitely need to, you know, let it flow.
I love the synergy.
So, at this point, I just want to go back and, you know, what's cooking.
So, I'll just quickly leave you guys, but I really appreciate this time.
And thank you so, so much, everyone.
Please follow me.
I'll follow back.
Don't miss my shows.
It's always fun.
Always a vibe.
But you're leaving at the perfect time because we're like nine minutes to the hour.
And, you know, I like to keep these spaces, you know, we're just like motivating spaces for the weekend.
So, thanks for showing up.
If you disappear from here, I won't be offended.
Go do your thing.
Get your recording done.
You know, maybe turn on the Twitter space, but don't let us know you're listening and then put it up to the mic so we can get inside that recording.
I was just playing.
Love you, fam.
And, you know, I'll be there Thursdays.
So, check this out.
Like I said, we're like eight minutes to the hour now.
Okay?
So, if there's anybody else out there in the crowd that wants to share, that, you know, just wants to get their own words in.
What's up, Crypto Arcade?
Hey, man.
How's it going?
Living my dream.
Yeah, I was actually just looking into things again because I want to get more heavily involved this year for the festival because I kind of came in at the tail end last year.
So, I was kind of rushing to put things together.
But, yeah, this year I have a lot more set up in the space so I can do full token gating for even just parts of a room.
You can have just a VIP section for whether it's wallet addresses, PO apps, NFTs, whatever you want.
And, on top of that, I have a partnership with Gather so that I can host up to 500 people in the arcade at once.
Shut up.
Yeah, both.
Don't actually shut up.
That was like a, you know, like.
But, yeah, both the overworld map and inside the arcade can both hold up to 500 users at once.
So, I can actually set up, like, outdoor festival-type stages on the map and then have, like, another main stage inside the arcade.
And just, like I said, set up VIP areas for different token holders if you wanted to do collections and stuff like that.
But, yeah, there's plenty of stuff we can set up in there.
And then, also, crypto voxels can be plugged in and embedded in my space.
So, you can use the voice and video chats within my space while still exploring in crypto voxels.
Shut up again.
Are you, so, so you're saying we could have, like, multiple, you could have, like, an, you've got everything we need, crypto arcade.
I'm running through my thoughts of how do I want to put this out because this is too epic.
So, you said multiple stages, right?
And, at the same time, we can have what's going on in crypto voxels kind of go on inside of the arcade so, like, people can be floating around between worlds.
Yeah, you can go back and forth between the worlds.
You can hop into, like, a little portal that'll jump you straight from Gather into other metaverses.
That's pretty much how I set it up is, like, an overworld map so that you can plug into any metaverse and just jump back and forth.
But, with a lot of them, you can go ahead and embed them directly so that you can still use the Zoom chat type feature while exploring in other metaverses.
That's too awesome.
Yeah, I'm glad you hopped into the space.
And, I hope, are you still in the Discord?
If you're not in the Discord, this goes out for everybody, right?
If you're not in the NVMF Discord, I highly recommend jumping over into the NVMF Discord because that's where, you know, all this collaboration and all the, that's where all the building kind of happens, right?
So, highly recommend jumping over there.
Crypto Arcade, that's sick about, you can have multiple stages, multiple games.
You can have the chat features going from crypto voxels.
I see Kane jumped in.
So, if I'm, like, over at the Kane side or I see people listening to Kane during NVMF and I, at this, you know, they can be chatting over there and at the same time playing on these arcade games.
Yeah, and there's also, like, a feature to be able to, if you have someone in there live performing, you can just give them a spotlight feature so people can walk around and actually play the arcade games and still listen into the event.
Plus, all the arcades, you can attach your, like, Bluetooth controllers, like an Xbox controller, and you can attach, like, connect through NetPlay so that you can play old school arcade games like The Simpsons and Turtles in Time and stuff like that with full four-player capabilities using your Xbox.
I can't, like, my dogs are about to start barking, but you said I can have four players on the same game, so this is too good.
Can we get in this, like, right now, today?
Is this all, like, or does it have to be built and set up just for specific events?
Like, can anybody go play arcade games anytime?
Yeah, if you go into the arcade right now, they're all set up.
I have a bunch of different emulators plugged in, and, like I said, if you click on them, there's, it'll pop up at the bottom as a NetPlay, and that's how you connect, and you create, basically, your own chat room type thing that just connects you in a multiplayer, and you can connect your Bluetooth controllers to be able to play it in there.
But, yeah, I have multiples in there, and if anyone has, like, requests for games, I can go ahead and see what I can find and put them in.
But most of it's just, like, externally hosted emulators that get plugged in.
I think CryptoSeed, did you already post the link so that people can go into this world?
Did you already get that up there?
I see you can.
I'm going to bring you up, too.
Hang on.
No, I'm not.
I'm trying to find that.
I'm not sure where to find that.
If you just go to CryptoArcade.1, and there's a play button right on the website, or you can just go CryptoArcade.1 backslash play, and it'll drop you right in.
Yo, Pixel.
What's up, Kane?
Hey, what's good, man?
What up, yo?
You got to tell them about the thing, yo.
The fucking play, when you go to the place, and everything becomes 3D?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my hub spots.
Yeah, I was telling them how you can now.
Yo, son, you don't even talk about that shit.
That shit is crazy.
It's, like, really crazy.
Super crazy.
Like, better than other things.
It's amazing.
Yeah, I've got it set up with custom avatars now that I'm working with.
So, if anyone has, like, 3D models or voxel models and everything, I've found out how to rig them in hubs to be able to use them as your own custom avatars.
Kane, you're right.
That is better than other things.
So, if I have...
So, if I'm walking around, I want my avatar.
I can walk around as my avatar inside your world.
Yeah, I just have to load it up into Blender and rig it to the Mozilla Hubs little rig that they have set up to pre-download.
And, yeah, I can get anyone's model just plugged in.
I'm not sure, like, how much they have set up for, like, full arms and everything like that, because most of their avatars don't have arms.
But, yeah, you can get, like, the heads to move around and everything like that.
So, I could be a head.
I could just send you, like, a head and just, like, walk it around?
Yeah, right now, I actually just float around as, like, a Harry Potter snitch that I built with some voxels just to test it out.
So, yeah, I can do that easily.
Score.
Major score.
I do know that CryptoSea posted it.
Did you do it?
You did it.
There's the link.
So, if anybody wants to, CryptoArcade.one, right there.
You can all check this out today.
And there's also, you have some of the thickest videos from, you know, the NBMF promo for last year for your CryptoArcade.
And you've tweeted out already.
So, everybody go ahead.
Let CryptoArcade know that we want to do this again, because it's up there in the nest.
Go like, retweet, share, and let's do this thing.
We're all going to be in there.
Kane, my friend, what is up?
Welcome to the stage.
And thank you for telling him to share that good piece of juicy information.
Yeah, Pixel came on the show.
And someone had told me about it.
And I took it serious because, like, what's that thing?
It was like a casino.
It was like, serious people tell me you're a guy to be taken seriously.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, a bunch of my friends were like, oh, yeah, fucking Pixel's great.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Cool.
So, then he shows me the thing.
And you look at it at first, you know, at first glance, you could dismiss it.
But, I mean, like, I remember a year and a half ago, at first glance.
I'm sorry.
I just woke up.
So, I'm not firing all cylinders.
A year and a half ago, at first glance, I was going to dismiss Cryptovoxels because it's so Lego-y.
You know what I mean?
But now, it looks, like, great to me.
You know, and he showed me, like, you know, everyone just jumps into this world.
And all of a sudden, no matter who you are, where you are, me and, like, 30 of my friends were running around this thing.
And we all got our little avatars on.
And we're going through Double Dragon and Mario Brothers and shit that I appreciate.
And then he showed me the town.
And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second.
Wait, what?
And the town is crazy.
He has the best solution for token-gated movies right now, and no one knows.
And I know he's building and yada, yada, yada.
But that's why I told him.
I was like, you know, any help you need, you got it.
Anything I can do to help you, you got it.
You want to come back on the show when you do more stuff, let me know.
Because I think what he's building is incredible.
And on top of that, he's just a really fucking cool guy.
So, like, we had a great conversation on the show.
He's just a really cool guy.
So I personally like Pixel.
I don't do enough with his tech.
And that's more of my shortcoming than his.
So I told him, yeah, I want to talk to you at some point this weekend on Pixel
so he can do some strategery.
You know what I mean?
That's what's up.
And you're right.
When somebody comes into this space and says, hey, you know, you got to pay attention,
and then the person telling you is somebody that you really pay attention to anyways,
maybe you should really pay attention.
Word.
What's up, Serenity?
Welcome to the stage.
I've never seen you before, but you got something about film.
And I hear film in this space is a big movement right now.
Yes.
Yes.
Hello.
Well, I literally just discovered you guys.
Usually I'm taking Saturdays off or at least a bit easy.
But I thought it sounds interesting.
Yeah, indeed.
We are actually making movies with filmmakers first.
So we made movies for over 15 years and have a lot of experience in terms of that.
But we decided recently to venture into the realm of NFTs with our two first feature films.
Because prior to that, we hadn't made feature films.
We made music video, documentary, you know, the whole stuff, worked for studios.
But yeah, as myself, I made a feature film last year.
And Carlos, who's our co-founder, who also made a feature film three years ago.
Yeah, we are now here and trying to figure out a good way of sustainable film distribution, basically.
Hey, Serenity, as a former filmmaker.
Well, it's not really former, but I'm not really in it at the moment.
I am excited to meet you and hear from you.
And I implore you to check out a project called Feature.io.
It's a Web3 Roku streaming box.
It's super interesting.
They just minted, but they have some really big creators behind it and, like, a lot of support from Hollywood.
But they're also making sure there's no gatekeepers and that any of us can get in if we want to.
I know, like, David Iyer is backing it.
And for those that may not be familiar with David Iyer, he's the director of Training Day, of Fast and the Furious, of Suicide Squad.
So, you know, he's got a lot of connections.
And they also have a production company whose name I can't recall, but, like, that's won six Oscars.
So, yeah, it's a cool spot.
And their community manager is, like, an OG of the space.
And she really understands what this ethos is in Web3 and is going to do her best to make sure that the studios and the big creators come in with community first versus profit first.
So, I really believe in the project.
It's a little expensive.
I couldn't buy it, but they're good people.
You might want to go check it out.
Man, thanks so much.
I'm actually just at the website.
I love Fury.
I love David S. Fury.
It's really great.
But, yeah, you know what?
Thanks so, so much.
I haven't actually heard of them.
The thing is, we are on Cardano.
So, we're basically the first feature film on Cardano.
And the good thing is with Cardano that we could build technology on top of Hoskinson's technology.
So, we basically built our own, well, distribution form.
So, we basically made it possible to put an entire full-length feature film onto an NFT.
So, we don't have links.
We don't have tickets.
We don't have, you know, episodic releases 10 minutes at a time or so.
But it's the full feature in high resolution that is as an NFT, basically.
But you know what?
That sounds incredible.
I'm definitely going to get in touch with those guys.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, yeah.
I hope it works out.
Actually, DM me and then, you know, I'll DM Cass, the community manager.
And I'll just do an introduction and you guys can take it from there.
Sweet.
Thank you so much.
That's amazing because we are minting our first movie right now, Toxica.
And we start minting our second movie next month, mid-September.
But today, in about three hours, we start minting a trailer for the second movie.
So, yeah, this is perfect timing.
I DM you right away.
Thanks so much.
Kane, you don't ever have to raise your hand.
You can just speak when you want to.
You have freedom in this space.
Freedom.
Well, I'll try and be polite.
Yeah, I got a question for the movie, lady.
One, how do you freeze your – what do you use to freeze your metadata?
What's your metadata backed up with?
Hold on a sec.
That is a technical question.
I very quickly delegate that.
One second.
I'm more the creative header behind this.
One second, Kane.
Oh, she didn't try and answer the question.
She said, let me go get the answer.
I like those answers, too, when they're like, hang on.
I don't know, but I know somebody that does.
That means they got a team.
What's up?
Hello.
Punkin just called me because she – yeah.
Yeah, so the question was, was it a metadata?
Yeah, what's your metadata backed up with?
What are you using to save your metadata?
Well, if I understand correct the question, because basically it's a guy from RetroNFTs
who worked the back end.
We are the filmmakers.
But we – the film is actually in the whole entirety in a pool PM.
But when you – we have – you can link your wallet to token perks.
You can download not only utilities, but the actual film in 4K.
Because it's – yeah.
Although we managed for some reason to put all the film in a pool PM, it's not made for bigger files,
you know, for those massive files, especially the quality we want to achieve.
And I'm not sure if I answered your question correctly.
Yeah, people's metadata is typically backed up with something like IPFS, Pinata, Arweave, Darkblock.
Like, what are you guys using?
Yeah, right.
That's not – that's – I don't have a clue about that.
But – but as I'm talking to you, I'm just texting the guy from RetroNFTs because I really want to know now.
That's – that's a good question.
Okay.
So second part of my question, why Cardano?
I can check that out.
That's a question for me, Kane.
Carlos is state jobbing.
Why Lyman's faces?
Well, it's actually quite simple, to be honest.
Cardano is – for one, it was a very open and very welcoming blockchain from the beginning.
When we told them what we are working on, you know, we just said, look, we want to put a full movie as an NFT.
And they said, well, we don't know how the hell you're going to do it.
But if you have questions, if you need something, if anything we can help you with or introduce you to someone, let us know.
And that was something that was an immense excitement for this.
People didn't even know us.
And yet they were excited for our journey.
And the other thing is that Cardano is basically the rebel blockchain.
It might build slower, but it builds steadily.
And those guys have – they have no fear of anything.
They just say, yeah, let's just try it.
And I'm curious to see it.
I think that's just something we really needed because we're a little bit broke filmmakers, too, despite our experience.
You know, we made our movie in terms of reverse engineering them both and without big studio budget.
So we needed someone who thinks a bit like us.
And I think Cardano is a pretty damn good choice to start with.
Yeah, that's what goes in and that's what ties into the metadata question because I do big file sizes.
You know, some of my NFTs are movies in their own right because of just the silly way that I choose to save it.
You know, I make the file.
The files get pretty big.
There's nothing that stops me from – you can put a movie on almost any blockchain because it has nothing to do with the blockchain.
Your thing isn't going actually on the blockchain, just the token.
Everything else is your metadata.
So when someone's doing something and it's like, oh, this, that, the third, I'm like, oh, well, what's the point of putting it over there?
Well, I just reverse the question these days and say, well, where's your metadata?
Yeah, because that's really all that matters.
But movie and music have a similar problem, but it's a lot more severe with movies than it is with music.
I can move the goalpost and say, I don't care if someone hears my song.
And I do.
Sorry, I just woke up.
So I can move the goalpost and say, I don't care if someone hears my song.
Because if they hear it, they don't own it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But movie people don't take such a cavalier approach.
Like, seeing the movie is seeing the movie.
And, you know, for someone to be able to just kind of go into the IPFS and watch their movie for free,
it kind of defeats the purpose of making it an NFT.
So that's why I always ask, you know, it sounds like a movie.
Well, what are we doing?
Where are we saving it?
Because that's kind of important.
All right.
Okay.
But if I can ask you, I mean, of course, you can watch the movie on 4PM or so, but you don't have it.
You don't own it, right?
And I think the fact that it is the first feature from SNFT on Cardano makes it a bit of a pioneering work
because we had to build the technology first that wasn't there.
We had bits and bobs of it from Hoskinson's blockchain, but we didn't have what it took to make it possible.
And there were a couple of people before us who released short documentary, short film, you know,
everything you can put on like 10 minutes as an NFT in okay quality.
And they even said, how did you do it?
And we really like, we delegated that to retro NFTs and they built the whole thing really.
So I would say, of course, you can watch it for free.
I personally am not a fan of it because I put a hell of a lot of my own money in this.
I would like to not be broke at some point.
But also, I would love to see people watch the movie as an NFT because it is just a different thing.
You know, it's better quality.
You can, you know, watch it on your big screen.
Like, your home cinema.
I think that's pretty damn cool.
And the PFPs are interactive, you know.
Each PFP is a different, comes with a different little key so you can unlock utilities, you know.
And, yeah, I think that's pretty cool, no?
Is this unlockable content or something?
Because how would someone watch it on their TV?
Oh, yeah.
That's unlockable content.
It's like behind the scenes or gag reel or making of audio commentary, movie poster that is actually printable.
I have one in my room behind me.
It is such a glorious, like, it's a massive movie poster.
But it has really good quality.
So it's really well printable.
Yeah, stuff like that.
Soundtrack, you know, parts of the soundtrack.
That's really cool.
So with it being unlockable content, let's say I get the NFT and I unlock it, could I then just share the unlockable content with anybody else?
I know that I shouldn't, okay?
I'm not saying I should, and I love the NFT space as well, and I've got some work out there as well, and I understand that by it being unlockable, once I unlock it, can't I just share it or, like, say, someone I know buys it and they're like, hey, man, you know what?
I really think you should have this poster.
Could they then share it to me for free without me having to buy the NFT?
So, essentially, like, one person could buy the NFT, and then everybody gets to watch the movie and gets all the unlockable content?
Well, you could share it, yeah, but that's obviously not supporting the project or movies and NFTs.
But also, you know, if you buy something precious for yourself, would you give it to someone else?
You know, like, just, hey, I have my DVD for 88 bucks.
You know, I think if you invest in something like that, you would not share it for free or put it somewhere out there, I guess.
I think the NFT community understands that there are things like, you know, a little bit more different collectibles as well, maybe.
I know growing up as a kid, there once was a time where maybe one of my friends would buy the movie ticket, and then the rest of us would stand on the other side of the door, and we would just pass the movie ticket back and forth.
And I know this space is recorded, and I hate for it to be an honor recording, but this was years ago.
So if you're going to hold it against me, you've got to go way back in time and prove it, right?
But at one point in time, maybe we might have done those things where, and so we didn't actually, where we just wanted to see the movie, and it wasn't in our mindset of, like, supporting the artist.
And there may be people inside the NFT space that kind of feel the same way, that maybe once they buy it, and they just want to share it with their friends.
And I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying that this is the way it should be. I agree, especially me as an artist.
You know, if I have my work out there, if I put my music out there, and I make one-of-one NFTs, and I put, you know, a lot of work into it, I don't really want people just to do that.
But I have to understand that, you know, if I want to prevent people from doing that, then I have to code it or write it in a specific way to prevent that from happening.
And I think that's what Cain was kind of getting at with the metadata, was maybe there's ways to lock this up to prevent people from being able to steal or pass on this information.
And those are some things that we could look into as far as not just with the blockchain.
The blockchain can maybe just be the tokens, but that metadata and how we share that content and get, what's the, there's a word I'm looking for,
but how we get that content could be locked up and token-gated in a specific way.
I could be wrong.
By the way, Carlos here.
Actually, that's a really good point because we experienced, even before we joined in the blockchain, the NFT world, we experienced that with our films anyway.
Like our films were torrented, if you're familiar with that, and pirated.
And actually, you know, as I had a band, we fueled the tracks going to the films.
The same thing.
We were pirated so many times.
So, you know, it's a problem we experienced before, way before even we turned to the NFT world.
So, it seems, for some reason, this is more solid.
It seems people a little bit more, I think like Pong King said, a little bit more pressure for what they acquire.
I think, as you mentioned, yes, we used to, like, I'm in the generation.
We used to, I used to tape a VCR at a show or a film.
And I used to get my friends to come to see them, you know, all together.
Like you say, probably in the future, we will develop something where things are a little bit more locked for anything.
But I think, like, any art and anything at the moment, like, it was before music and film, it's a little bit more challenging in that respect.
But, you know, we'll get there.
And I think, as well, as an artist, in one way or another, we want our work to be sort of seen by everyone.
You know, it's obviously fine balance between, yeah, I want my world, my work to be seen by a lot of people.
But at the same time, I will be able to eat, you know what I mean?
Go ahead, Benny.
You popped up on the stage, threw your hand up like you knew what you wanted to say in this conversation.
Yes, sir.
It's not too bad.
It's only to educate.
And the follow-up team is absolutely right as far as the metadata is basically the key to all of this.
As far as, you know, using Cardano, that's a personal choice.
It's not necessarily a technological choice.
You can, there have been many NFT movies already launched.
Anthony Hopkins released one last July called Zero Contact.
Kevin Smith released one.
I was actually at the release in May.
Well, the release was in May.
Release party was in May.
I think it came out in June.
And there's actually, there's Project Flinch, F-L-I-N-C-H.
They are actually a movie NFT franchise.
I think they got like two films out the door already.
So as far as how they're doing the token and token gating and everything else,
you may want to look into those projects and see what's worked or what didn't work for them.
Yeah, I've seen the, what is it called?
Zero Contact, right?
That was also with a ticket, an external link.
That was not an NFT.
And the same with Kevin Smith.
He releases it this month or next month, I think.
Or he has released it this month.
I don't know.
But it's also 10 minutes or 15 minutes each with tickets.
So the NFT is the PFP, but the movie itself is not an NFT once again.
And we'd flinch the same that the movie itself is not the NFT or it is the episodic release
or something.
Because we were looking into that for quite a while.
And we reached out to other filmmakers and said, how have you released the full movie as
an NFT?
And they said, oh, we haven't.
We have a ticket.
We have a link.
We have episodic releases, you know.
And we were just like, yeah, but we don't want that.
We want, you know, we want something different because we kind of like were overwhelmed by
crypto a bit, obviously.
And it took us a while to meet retro NFTs who said, yeah, we can do it.
We don't quite know exactly how, but we can do that and we can just grow with it.
And with Toxica, it is indeed the first full feature that doesn't need a ticket and a
link anymore.
You know, it's just like the NFT itself is the movie, basically.
And that hasn't, that's something quite new.
And yeah, we were reaching out to Anthony Hopkins's, you know, blockchains and how do
you do this?
And said, oh, we can't.
It's not possible.
He released it with a ticket.
I said, okay.
So yeah, everybody did the same thing.
And we kind of like had to really build it, you know, to make it possible to turn a feature
from NFT and keep the quality and get rid of tickets and not have episodic releases like
Kevin Smith.
You know, his co-kill driver's here, I think, is released, I think, 10 or 15 minutes each
or something like that.
Or it's an anthology, I think.
Something like that.
But yeah, I checked out Flinch.
They're pretty damn cool, too.
Actually, it looks great.
You talk to them a lot, yeah.
Yeah, well, that might have something to do with securing the metadata.
That might be the issue where somebody just goes to your contract and just watches the movie
from the contract directly.
Yes, I mean, yeah, that is definitely a thing.
I mean, now with our second movie coming out, actually, the trailer's coming out today, the
main trailer.
And next, in two weeks, we published our second film, so doubling down on that.
So we then will have found out a little bit more about how to be more secure, you know,
how to basically do a little bit other things differently, how to make it more sustainable,
you know, I mean, we're talking to Sitges Film Festival in September or October, I can't
remember now, but we're talking there as well, and a couple of NFT cons, because it is such
an incredibly novel thing to do.
And I dearly hope that other people, you know, come to us, other filmmakers, and say,
look, we want to do the same you do, so we can share our technology.
And we're now working with Barakuda Movie, which is also a full feature, and they are amazing.
They're really lovely friends of ours.
And they will probably do the same after us, you know.
So slowly but surely, we built a path of sustainable filmmaking life, hopefully making our budgets
back, which would be great, paying our cast and crew a bit more, and yeah, just funding
our next movies with that, basically.
Kane, you got your hand up?
Yeah, so I'm waking up a little bit now.
So there's, there's been movies on, in NFTs since like 2015.
Um, no one really talks about them, because a lot of that shit was them just putting their
favorite movies up, because they didn't care.
Um, so it was like, do they have the right to do that?
Uh, it makes a big thing.
But, yeah, you're, um, you can put a movie up on the, you know.
If Arweave is where I'm, is my, where my metadata's stored, I can put as much stuff on Arweave as
I can afford to put on Arweave.
I mean, it's not super expensive, and my file size is currently, you know, 600, 800.
So, like, I'm generally in that range anyway.
But when you start talking 4K, you know, okay, cool.
So it's gonna be a little bit bigger, but you just pay for it.
Boom, it's up there.
It points to your token, where your token points to it, and it plays.
Um, the concept of where people go and how they pay for it, that becomes the biggest issue.
So, like, um, your target audience, obviously, is like the Cardano crowd, right?
Yes, mostly Cardano.
We have a couple of Ethereum audiences as well, but mostly Cardano, yeah.
I mean, it's a little limiting, but go off, you know.
I wish you success, and have at it.
Thank you so much.
I mean, it is an interesting journey, you know.
I mean, making two movies back to back was very interesting, because we both cut our teeth
on these feature films, you know, we figured out what kind of filmmakers we are in the first
place, you know, and took on all the responsibility of making a movie.
So, Carlos made Place Redemption, and afterwards, I right away made Toxica, both of them reverse
engineered.
And when we came here, it was just like starting a completely new world, you know, discovering
and exploring something we hadn't, we didn't even know what it is.
And I think it is, it is incredibly precious for artists in general, you know, to actually,
for one, make the movies, or make the music, or paint the paintings, and write the books
they want to do.
Because I too am an author, and I'm basically told what kind of book I should write next.
And, you know, that's another story altogether, but I think here as filmmakers, I could make
the movie I wanted to make, because I funded it myself, I, you know, that's my movie, same
with Carlos, same with Barracuda, you know, you make what you want to do, but then you
also have the opportunity to send it out there, and engage more with audiences, and, you know,
just find, you know, find new ways of getting a movie seen, or making a movie be visible.
So, yeah, I think this is, is amazing.
So, yeah, I've seen, I've seen a lot of progress in terms of film and NFTs, I'm actually quite
curious to see where this is going.
I think after Citrus, we will know a bit more, I have a feeling that there's a couple
of things are cooking up right now.
This turned into one of those educational spaces.
And what I love about this group of people is everybody doesn't, we don't ask the, I
say we, like I asked the questions, I didn't ask any of the questions.
We get people that came to say, hey, these are the real life questions, and it's not to
be mean, it's just to say, hey, I just really want to know, how are we doing this, because
let's build this space.
If we're going to say we're in space, let's build this space, let's move this space, let's
make some things happen inside this space.
And you can't build things if you don't ask the hard questions, right?
You're not going to build a house if you don't say, well, what kind of concrete are
you pouring?
Well, I thought all concrete was the same.
No, not all concrete is the same.
There's different ways to mix that.
You can have 30 to one, you can have 20 to one, there's different ways to do it.
And if you don't do it the right kind of way, well, then your house is just going to crumble.
And if you make it too strong, well, then it's just going to crack, because it's going
to overdrive.
So you need to know how you're mixing your concrete before we build this house.
So this is one of those spaces where we get to ask those types of questions.
It's not to be mean, it's just let's build this house the right way so we can
all go in and enjoy it before we just start inviting people over to the house.
Apollo, my friend, my man with the MetaBot Apes and that Quora 2.0, what is up?
Welcome to the stage.
How you been?
Maybe you're busy building over there.
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
No, I'm over here just trying to finish decorating for my stepson's birthday party.
But yeah, no, man, doing good.
How are you doing?
Thank you for having me up on stage.
We're doing the thing.
We're building a space.
For those of you that don't know Apollo, if you've never heard me talk about Apollo, then
I don't know where you've been because Apollo's name sticks in my mouth like every day.
In fact, it's not to be a thing.
Jesus Christ.
The dude's got the MetaBot that he takes around and teaches kids in their real life how to work
with art and he donates his real life time to do this thing.
And I'm all about that life.
So what is up?
I see you.
You said you're doing the birthday party.
And yeah.
Kane, I was ignoring you.
I'm going to pass that off.
I'm going to pretend that that didn't happen.
Yeah, so am I, bro.
That shit was crazy.
This isn't that kind of space, Kane.
This isn't public school on Friday in the Token Smart Discord.
But if you are around on a Friday in the Token Smart Discord, then you should probably hang
out in the Token Smart Discord and learn something new.
It's public school time on that day.
How was that?
I don't know if that counts as a shill or not.
It got quiet all of a sudden.
Chirk.
Chirk.
Chirk.
Chirk.
All right, y'all.
Thank you for coming into the NBMF space.
It's been real.
It's been live.
And if you didn't check all the tweets up in the nest, CryptoSeed was on point today.
If you were talking or you were in the crowd, then I guarantee one of your tweets was up there
in the nest.
I promise you.
There's not one person popped in the room.
The CryptoSeed did not lurk and put you up on blast up top.
But Apollo, if you want to talk about yourself a little bit, go for it.
I hope you're going to be involved with NBMF this year and have something going on somewhere.
Some of your art posted up somewhere.
So tell us about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I got into NFTs last year.
I think it was like January or February.
Actually, February was when I really got serious into doing like NFTs and everything.
So, yes, I mean, I started to create because, I mean, I just wanted to put my art out there.
And then I kind of found a way to kind of fund what I'm currently working on, which is the
Metabus.
Basically, what I did was because of COVID, I ended up shutting down my art studio and
outfitted, purchased a small school bus and outfitted the school bus with all the latest
in digital art technology.
There's seven workstations in there.
So there's seven computers, seven digital pen displays.
And I just started working with at-risk and troubled kids, teenagers going through a lot
of like issues, depression, social anxiety, substance abuse, actual abuse in the home.
So I started working with a lot of these teenagers and kind of quickly found out over the past
couple of years that a lot of these organizations that I was working with can't afford my services.
Parents can't afford my services.
So I decided that I was going to sell my NFTs for the sole purpose of funding the entire
bus so that I could provide my services for free or at least at a discounted price.
But seeing that the NFTs weren't really selling all that great, I decided to turn it into a 501c3.
And that's what I'm doing right now is I'm in the process of raising some funds to turn
this into a 501c3 so that I can provide my services completely for free to any teenager,
any child that wants to get into digital art, digital animation, 3D rendering, NFTs, which
is a big part of what I'm doing with the MetaBus.
Um, so I came out with the banana gun project, which is, uh, basically, uh, 3D bananas with
gun attributes and they're all like sci-fi looking, they all look really cool.
Um, but they're also usable in the Neo's metaverse.
Um, and then I developed, you know, uh, uh, a MetaBot ape.
So it's a mechanical ape for the banana guns because I mean, you, you really can't have a banana
gun without having an ape to run around the metaverse with it.
Um, so, so yeah, so I pro, I give those out for free.
So that's a free airdrop.
Uh, you get the files, um, the 3D files, or, um, you can meet me in the Neo's metaverse
and I'll give it to you already finished, rigged, ready to go and ready for you to customize.
Um, and, uh, and yeah, and then I just, you know, have a bunch of one-on-ones, uh, one-of-one
NFTs that I was creating and then created, uh, Cora 2.0 just this past week.
Cora is actually, uh, uh, stands for computer operated robotic assistant.
And basically my father back in the eighties created an actual robot, an actual female,
six foot female Android.
Um, and I was like 1983, 1984.
Um, and she would entertain guests, you know, she would actually like move around.
She would talk, she would serve drinks.
She would tell jokes and everything.
And, uh, unfortunately she, she perished in a fire in the basement.
Um, and my father always vowed he would never, he would always rebuild her.
He has her head as parts of her motherboard and everything, but never rebuilt her.
So I decided just last week to actually, um, start creating my own version of her and, um,
and then just do like photo shoots, just do like different photo shoots, create an entire,
I mean, I said, I accidentally built it, but I created a whole like living space for her.
Um, in, in a virtual world.
Um, and then I just, you know, started just doing some pictures, started throwing out
a bunch of pictures these past couple of days and, uh, and yeah, hopefully I'm gonna, you
know, put her in the metaverse, um, and, and maybe even, uh, you know, have different
versions of her, uh, different ethnicities and, and, um, you know, different versions
of, of who Cora really is.
Um, and maybe bring back the original design.
My father still has her blueprint.
So, you know, just doing a bunch of stuff over here, uh, you know,
working towards, you know, helping out these kids, trying to raise enough money so I can,
you know, onboard a lot of these teenagers and kids over here in Connecticut and not
only in Connecticut, but around Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, um, Pennsylvania.
I mean, I want to take this across the entire country and have these buses, um, you know,
all over the country and actually work with these kids and get these kids out of trouble,
um, and into something that might be able to benefit their lives, help them build some
generational wealth, help them get into NFTs and the metaverse and all that other good
stuff.
And, and, uh, and yeah, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm in it to, to, you know, to change these
kids' lives and, and actually get them to a position where, um, they can see a future
for themselves.
Mic drop.
Enough said.
Everybody go get a banana gun.
I think with the price of Ethereum right now, you're probably looking at like 50 bucks
for a banana gun that comes with a banana bot ape.
Okay.
Seriously.
Like I know people that have spent way more than that on a project that didn't give them
3d files and did, you couldn't go into a metaverse and already use it.
Uh, this already works.
Like you can already go into NEOs, take your banana gun, shoot each other.
And it all ready works.
You're not like, Oh, buy a project and maybe it'll work later.
And we'll just wait for the project leaders to do something and hope they don't rug us.
It's like, no, there's already built in utility.
Even if Apollo disappears, your gun will always work.
Your meta bot ape will always work.
You can always carry it with you to anywhere in the metaverse.
So for me, when I talk, when I think of my NFTs, this is what I'm looking for.
Something that no matter what happens with the person that made this NFT, I don't feel
like I got rug pulled because I have full life utility already wrapped up in this.
I don't understand people would, some people would rather go and get some of these other
NFTs that, uh, don't give you the same utilities, but this one does.
So let me, let me buy into this thing that maybe it'll fly off the rails and we can all
flip it later.
Or you can just buy an NFT that you get to keep and do whatever you want to with.
So that's a win in my book.
Everybody that came into this space today, I see Ruben hopped in, MetaDesign hopped in,
Matthew G, my man, go ahead and follow that man.
And Balboski came in here, altered.
Uh, who else we got?
We got Mudasar, Mudasar, Serenity.
Thanks for sharing about your movie.
We're, we're pretty stoked to hear about that.
See what happens with that.
You definitely got some people following you now.
Uh, we've got, I don't know how to say this is that crypt hop or is that crypt thop?
I don't know exactly, but we're going to go with one of those two and maybe one day you'll
pop up and you'll speak in this room, but here we go.
We're going to start looking to close this thing down.
So if anybody else wants to share, Benny, thanks for coming up here and not just sharing
thoughts, but sharing wisdom and knowledge inside the space.
For those of you that don't know, Benny was the one that made me look at yet.
Like, what was that a year ago?
Okay.
Over a year ago.
What's up Balboski?
But yeah, the yet, if you didn't know about the yet, I actually got like a little bit of
the earliness into the yet because of Benny.
So I think sometimes I feel like some of these people are like, wait a minute, you're really
that quick on the draw?
Yeah.
You're so quick that when he tells you about it, it doesn't even look cool yet.
So what's up Balboski?
Oh man, ain't nothing, man.
Just listening in on a road trip with the family.
Just wanted to say what's up.
I'll be here.
I'll be tuning in for all the streaming it in Discord and working with Joe.
It's going to be fun, man.
Just let me know.
And hell yeah.
The banana gun, bruh, it's on my grab list.
I will procure me a banana gun before the end of the week.
I need one of those avatars.
That's off to you with what you're doing to follow.
Appreciate you, man.
That's what's up.
You can join the MedBop fam.
We'll go into NEOs and we'll shoot each other with our banana guns.
I got one.
So wait, do I need...
Can I get on there with like a MacBook Pro?
Or does it need like a grab list?
Well, I mean, it's not available for Mac.
NEOs is actually on Steam.
So you're going to need a PC, whether it's a laptop or a regular PC.
It's, I mean, the world that I built, I built it light enough so where you don't really need a really robust computer.
But having a robust computer actually helps because it's really heavy on a computer.
You know, I have all my computers, an insane computer.
So it's, it's, it can handle NEOs, but still, I still get a little bit laggy.
That's because I have all my, all my stuff on, you know, performance instead of, you know, trying to go back a little bit on, on, on the performance so I can get a better quality or faster frame rates.
But, but I mean, you do get all the files.
So the Metapod ape you get is fully, fully rigged and weight painted so you can use it in other metaverses.
And the Banana Gun, same thing.
It's fully rigged.
It's all set up.
As far as the only ones that actually work are the ones in the NEOs metaverse.
So it actually works.
So a shrink ray would be able to shrink other avatars.
The gun that Hex has, actually when you shoot, it just starts spewing out blood, blood squirting out of every part of, of, of the avatar that you shoot.
Um, you know, they all have different abilities.
Like one of them actually throws hearts at people and it didn't, when the hearts explode and it just says, I love you, or it says that, you know, a few different phrases.
Um, but then not only that, I mean, you guys get a bunch of freebies too.
So anybody that buys a Banana Gun doesn't only just get a Metapod ape.
Everything I create inside NEOs, you get for free.
So I have like, I have different characters from other movies.
Like I have R2-D2 running around.
I have, um, a remote control, uh, DeLorean from Back to the Future that you can actually fly around in the metaverse.
So I have a whole bunch of stuff that I build within the NEOs metaverse that you would, you guys will be the only ones.
Whoever holds the Banana Gun are the only ones that can have that.
Ultimate utility.
Like, go ahead.
No, I was literally just explaining that's the ultimate utility.
Cause I was like, man, once, once this starts catching on to like, uh, I hate to even say it, but the mainstream or just like, uh, creatives into like how to really community build through utility tokens or utility or access files.
I mean, we see it with Triple, what he's done, and we see it with a lot of different builders in our space too.
So that would be dope, man.
Um, what I was thinking about just randomly as you were talking, like you get that 3D file, right?
So we, could you, could we modify that, that, uh, Banana Gun hypothetically?
Since like, let's say you get that 3D file, you can put it in Blender or Gravity Sketch.
Could we back-engineer it, send it to you, and then you can rig that and make it another type of gun in NEOs hypothetically?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Even, even, even better, I would show you how to change it in NEOs, how to actually do, make it do whatever you want in NEOs.
So it doesn't, so I, I, as soon as you, um, you know, purchase the NFT, it gives you the unlockable is the file, the actual file that you can use.
You can do whatever the heck you want with it.
Once you have the file, do whatever you want, you know, uh, change it up, bring it into NEOs and, and then mess with it.
I mean, with NEOs, NEOs is, is, is a, basically a, a creator's dream tool.
It's like having Blender, um, having, uh, uh, man, what other softwares are out there?
Um, it's basically having Blender on steroids where you can just do whatever the heck you want.
If you want to create, it's like having Blender and After Effects and all the other, uh, production studio software all in one where you can just do whatever, whatever you want, change the color of whatever you want.
You can, uh, put particle effects.
You can actually make, you can actually kill other people's avatars where they actually have to shut down their computer and restart, uh, NEOs in order to get back in because you, you're, you just basically just killed their, their avatar.
Um, you can do so much with, with, with NEOs and I have a bunch of weapons that are kill weapons that I will never give to anybody else because somebody might've, might've used it.
But, um, but, uh, but yeah, I mean, I'm always creating some really crazy, weird stuff in NEOs and you know, the, the, it's limitless.
You, you actually can have anything your, your brain can conceive, you can do in that metaverse.
And, and I think that metaverse is so much better than a lot of the other metaverses that are out there.
Um, they have the, they do have their own token.
Um, what's the name of it?
I totally forgot the name of it.
Um, they have their own token, their own crypto token, and they're in the process of trying to implement, you know, NFTs into, um, NEOs.
Um, they see that a lot of creators, a lot of NFT creators are trying, you know, are, are, are looking to get into NEOs and everything.
And they're in the process of trying to get all that, you know, all that stuff done because they want to actually create their own marketplace.
So creators can actually go, you know, purchase an NFT right inside NEOs.
Right now, the only way we can do it is by, you know, doing what I'm doing, you know, sell it on OpenSea with an unlockable.
And then you have the files, you could do whatever you want with it, change whatever you want, you know, and, and you have full reign over what you can do.
That's dope, man.
And, you know, I, I don't even want to holler the rest of the stage.
I think that, that answered a lot of questions that I was thinking right in my head.
And that's off to you and that's off to everybody that can build it in this space.
So everyone have a good day.
Stay dangerous and stay safe.
Love it.
Love it, Ebro.
Thanks for hopping up here, joining in.
And yeah, I look forward to shooting you with a banana gun.
What's up, Wayne?
Yeah, sorry for being rude here.
I just wanted to thank you for, for the space.
This was fantastic.
Sorry, I, I have to go now.
So I'm really struggling at the moment, but really nice meeting you all.
And lots of love to hear.
And thanks once again for letting me share my, my story.
And have a fantastic day.
Okay.
Wayne, thanks for hopping in.
Never rude.
I'm the, I'm the kind of guy that when I have to go out of a space, you're much nicer because you're like, hey, thanks for the time.
And you're like, so respectful about it.
Me, I'm the guy that just like disappears from the space.
People are like, what happened to that guy?
He didn't even say, thank you.
We hold this whole space for him.
And he just disappeared.
I'm the super rude guy.
Um, so I completely understand.
And I think I've said it probably 15 times now that we're going to be looking to close down the space.
But, you know, every time, you know, there's these good conversations that pop up and, you know, why shut down a good thing?
So I will on that, Wayne, I'm going to follow you out the door and I'm going to leave with you because this party has been so good.
I'm going to leave it on these high notes.
Apollo, super glad you popped in here.
Everybody else has shared today.
Ebro, Benny, CryptoC, MetaDesign, Serenity, CryptoArcade, Altered, Medusar, everybody that stuck around for the full show, you know, be back next Saturday.
We're going to do it all over again.
We're going to be here every Saturday until NVMF happens.
And when NVMF happens, you know what we're going to do?
We're going to be in here talking about what's happening over in the Discord and in the metaverse.
So all we're going to be doing, it's going to be NVMF 2022.
Let's make it happen.
Let's work together.
Let's build this metaverse Web3 community in the best, healthiest way that we can.
Let's go.
On that note, love you all.
