Only got to play one song.
We already have a good room going.
I think this room is going to build up pretty big today.
So we got a kid called Beast that I'm giving away.
I really love this community.
I got into this community a couple years back when they first minted raspy is just like a badass founder i did a little interview with him a couple weeks back
and i just love the community it's a 3d art kind of piece a lot of the community they do their own
you know gifs and videos and ai with it and all kinds of cool things so it's a really like i would
say chatted fucking community here in Web3.
The Beast community, Beast's all going to make it.
So, yeah, we're going to feature them today.
Talk to Raspian a little bit.
Give away one of these A Kid Called Beast.
Talk to some other NFT projects.
See what everyone's doing.
Obviously, there's a lot going on in the world right now.
So, yeah, yeah, we lot going on in the world right now. So, yeah.
Yeah, we're going to go over everything. But first off, I want to get G-Coy up here as my co-host.
So, I think they just freaking left. But I did invite them as a co-host, Melina,
so we get them up here. But Melina is my co-host. She's fucking amazing.
And I'm so happy that you're here. Just wanted to check in, say good morning to you.
How are you doing? Let's see how everything is with you before we get this going.
Hey, yeah, I'm pumped. It's sunny and warm. Feels like Vegas in Canada today, so I'm good. I'm
happy. There's the sun. Keith, I got in a workout early this morning, so I'm kind of feeling like a beast, you know,
perfect for today's space. No, really pumped, happy to be here, happy to have my account back.
I mean, you know, like the sigh of relief. I think you guys could all hear it in my voice,
a lot happier this week than last. I'm actually the one behind the GQA account, so I'm trying to
actually come up as well. My apologies. I can't click buttons, it seems like, but no, I'm actually the one behind the GQA account, so I'm trying to actually come up as well. My apologies.
I can't click buttons, it seems like.
Thank you so much for having me as your co-host.
Yeah, just a big week, I think, altogether in terms of like NFTs.
You know, it's NFT Monday, but we've got a huge NFT conference in New York happening.
I think we both decided to skip it, though.
Yeah, yeah. There's a lot going on.
I need to be here on crypto Twitter and that's what
I'm going to focus on this week.
you're here and I'm happy you got your
Twitter back, of course. I knew you'd get back fast
though because the way Jashaka
was already talking and the support, that's like the first step.
Once you get through to the support and you actually talk to a real person, because all of Twitter is ran by AI.
So when you lose your account or anything happens, it's just all this AI prompts back and forth before you actually get to a real person.
So you got to a real person fast.
I already knew you were going to get taken care of.
it happened and there we go we're back yeah thank you no excited to be here thank you for all the
support on the back end and uh yeah just pumped it's monday i agree with you i i told i had to
tell the client the same thing i said listen uh it'd be fun to go to new york but actually it'd
be fun to build and get to fucking work too so that's what we're doing this week i'm happy we're on the same page there keith
yeah well honestly i didn't get any invites to any that cool parties somebody was gonna pay me
to go to one party and then they kind of just like oh the whole party got canceled so i was like all
right well then i'm chilling i don't need to go to new york i'm here in california i'm just training
crypto web three stuff. So I was like, it's actually better for me. So I'm going to,
I'm going to stay here and build. I know there there's a community that we're going to talk to
NFT community that's minting this week. They're doing some white lists they want to give out
today. So anyone, anyone can come up here and present your project. You know, this spot,
the space is sponsored by G coy and just shock us. So anyone can come up here and present your project. You know, this space is sponsored by G-Coy and Jashaka.
So anyone can come up here and chill and share what you have.
You don't have to because we've let people get away with it before.
But out of the courtesy of the audience and people that are here just chilling on a Monday, we like to reward people.
So if you do come up and you want to share about your project, you have something cool to share, definitely try to get a giveaway ready for the room, specifically for this room.
Not just some random tweet that we're going to do a giveaway on, but a giveaway specifically for this room so we can get some real engagement for you.
And then also the crowd gets rewarded, you know.
So it's free promo and then the crowd gets rewarded.
So that's the way we we're gonna do it but real quick let me say hi to some speakers up here let me say hi to tima
tima good morning or good night how are you over there i'm so good i'm trading right now with my
people if they say hi right now at the moment they can say hi to you also. Mike, are you here? Yo, what up?
Yo, yo, what up, what up?
Alexandra, will you say hi to me?
Yeah, I'm actually right now trading with them,
but I said I have to come to the space and say hi and support Keith,
Good morning. Good morning, Tima, you're the best thank you for that just so you guys know Tima does live
trading on the Nasdaq and she also does it with crypto as well well definitely check out her page
everything she's she knows her win her losses the process. So I love the way her content.
She creates video content as well.
Malina and her people have amazing content.
And yeah, thanks for that.
I kind of want like a crowd in the morning.
Like I'm at my desk like, okay, say hi, hi.
How do we make that happen?
Okay, you just come to my trading space like to my to my trading sessions and then you like my crowd will be your crowd and like we can
do it together like we can we can sit like a bunch of people in there and like we all say hi at the
same time in random spaces what do you think about this good idea I love it count me in this is such
a great idea you know it's interesting Tima because so you're another woman here. I've been seeing on the timeline all weekend. People are trying to like show that certain female crypto accounts are actually ran by men. So, yeah. Did you see this? It's all over the timeline. So I'm kind of thinking like, Timo, we could do something and be like, we're real women. We're real women.
Actually, I'm not. So when this...
I was shaking. I was like,
I love her. She's hilarious.
what bible what did you say
I said she believes in the
oh my god actually I ran out of She believes in the THC Bible. Oh, my God.
Actually, I run out of papes, so I can't smoke right now.
She wore all the freaking pages out of the Bible.
We're going to have to send somebody over there in Thailand for you.
Like, literally right now.
We're going to be on standby for that.
We're going to try to send you over a delivery driver.
It just says weed guy on his shirt.
And he has, like, a little backpack.
You know, just provides you what you need.
Sounds like a freaking plan.
He could literally just order a GrabDriver, give him some papes, and tell him to drive it to.
Yeah, he could ride his little go-ped over there, his little moped, whatever the hell it is.
He's like, look at this little new moped I got.
I'm like, damn, this guy is so indrenched in the Thai culture right now.
Like we were bare feet all day and I went outside.
I went to the beach and nobody like it bothered no one.
I was just like outside all day without shoes.
And I was like running through the sand and stuff.
It's different than Europe and stuff.
Like you can't really go out there without shoes.
People will look at you like, oh, that person has no, but nobody noticed.
were they were with their flip-flops and bare feet stuff too like they didn't even have they
don't really have clothes on here sometimes you know people walk in here and um swimsuits and
stuff so yeah like a very like chill tropical vibe yeah i like I like that. Very casual. I get it. I like it too.
Yo, let's say hi to Jashaka
good night, good morning.
Yo, what up? It's not good night.
But yeah, man, all good here.
Chilling, working. Actually spent the weekend in madrid um recording
fighters with our smart suit i'm gonna post up some of the footage it's amazing
like i can't wait to get you in that thing and record you we recorded a let me see an akito
I think he was a Thai kickboxer
so we recorded him in the suit
got all the footage in 3D
and we had them do some shadow boxing
ok that was the end of the show thank you Cooking all right. That's cool. That is cool
And that's okay, that was the end of the show. Thank you
I know so just talking just so you know we have an a kid called beasts up at the top
So everyone has to follow those rules.
When that a kid called beast, we'll give it away near the end of the space.
And also have a giveaway going a little money giveaway for the space as well.
And we did something on last week that we shouldn't have done to Shaka.
Some guy that won like months ago won again.
So he's won like two big NFTs from us.
All right, if you win a big NFT, you can't win again.
So I don't want him to think like we're over here rigging it.
But this guy just must be really active and lucky.
We'll let it slide. Okay, hit me up on the DMs because I'm trying to give them away.
So we got like a backlog here.
Yeah, let's get caught up on that today.
Make sure everyone gets their NFT and gets going.
And when it comes to those fake accounts, I will just say that, you know,
I started my journey in Web3 in December.
journey in web 3 in december and initially i saw like all these huge accounts with you know the
women accounts with you know 200 000 followers and they want you know you pay them and they'll
retweet or they'll do a post and you know i didn't really understand any of this shit and so I used a couple of these guys um and then I kind of realized after
a while it's like all the same dude right um so then they got cabals with five or six of them so
anyway I got one of them to talk to me like on the side and they're not people they're businesses
right these huge KOLs are not people their businesses like the guy said I have
to talk to my boss and yes they're definitely 80% probably Indian but they're their companies
they're not people and I spoke to another marketing company because we're discussing
our launch and they kind of said you know they do have reach so you know, they do have reach. So, you know, sometimes you do need to
use them. And especially because, you know, you'll have like, you know, one cabal with like 30 big
accounts and you think they're all real people, but it's just people working behind them, right?
So it's 100% true what you were saying about, you know, these big female accounts and so on, having dudes behind them.
I have experienced it because I've talked to the dudes.
So, you know, you got to follow the real people like Girl in the Verse, like Timo, like Kale Kid.
They're real accounts, you know.
Don't fall for that, those dudes shilling their stuff, you know, don't fall for that, that those dudes shilling their stuff, you know.
Yeah, but this has been like a thing since I've been in Web3. I've been in this shit for
like five years now. So like, this has always been a thing. It's nothing new. People do the
same scams and they just wrap it differently and throw it out again different ways.
You know, it's the same thing.
Yeah, but new projects, we don't know.
Like new projects, you call them and you're like, oh, my God, I hooked up with this girl and she's got, you know, 500,000 followers.
She's going to promote me and it's nobody and they're all bots as well, you know.
you know i mean but what's the value of me tweeting about it every couple hours or a couple days
bitching about you know these dudes are behind these big girl accounts and there's just nothing
people have to find on their own if they really want to ask me for advice and they say hey look
what do you think about this girl or person i'll say hey you need to stay away from that person
because they're literally a scammer so if you ask me i'll tell you but i'm not going here trying to save everyone i ain't fucking save a hoe you guys get into your
own shit it's like i'm not doing it i'm doing my own thing i don't care about anyone that's
fucking up like you have to be vigilant you have to be smarter here in web 3 and then people are
always complaining about the scammers here i mean bro there's bigger scammers in real life. I'm getting these text messages now and all these weird phishing emails now.
I mean, it's all the same.
The whole world is trying to scam you.
Just be vigilant and just be more aware, you know?
Like, but that is a big thing.
People love to use girl accounts.
Girls have a lot more pull if they know what they're talking about and
they get a lot more engagement because there's a lot of guys here and they've never been laid in
their whole life and they love to talk to girls even if it's saying gm or whatever and they're
just the truth you know for 20 000 that's active really determined can do better than with 200,000 followers
But I think it's a short amount of time
because they usually burn bright
and then they die out quick.
it just happens. I've seen it a lot in this space.
So just don't get scammed
And you called me Tina also?
Actually, I think it's not even like...
I can't really blame these guys if they do it because
girl profiles work better i even know guys who put their girlfriends and like
build the account for them but you know i think it would be just like they have to like
comma wise they should contact the person and ask hey can i use their pictures and i will share my
revenue with you i will give you i don I don't know, 30% or something.
if somebody would do this,
Like I wouldn't even say,
he's using the picture of that girl,
And so they put in the work together.
She has looks and he does the work,
you're like writing somebody's scam for him right now.
They're like writing down what you're saying yeah I have good ideas um I hope if you yeah they're about to hit you up in the dm
buy your pictures yeah give me give me a few percentages for this idea
yo yo good morning action what's going on, my guy?
Hey, Keith, what's good, man?
I just wanted to drop by and say GM, Melina, Mexie, Tima.
Okay, life's complete now. This is all I needed.
GM, GM. I just had to fulfill that stereotype you just described man
no you don't you don't fulfill it because you're married with kids bro i'm talking about incels i'm
talking about losers okay we're not talking about you don't feel guilty here dude i ain't guilty but
like let's be serious like how many times people that are married in web 3 i mean we saw people go
to jail last year for trying to like do all this sort of crazy stuff with girls.
It doesn't matter if you're married or not.
I know, but you're a good guy.
I just didn't take it serious.
Fucking guy. But get it. I just didn't take it serious. I'm like, this guy, this guy, this guy, fucking guy.
great. This is the great way to start the space, guys.
I love this. Can we get somebody
in that is impersonating a woman so we could
talk to them personally now? Can we interview
Oh, this is you're real no you're real
people tell me they're like yo you're no you're not real you're uh you're not even a person i'm
like okay i guess screw me then i guess i'm like what the hell
you're not the first person to say that that's a wild thing and it's it's crazy that we're living
in the world where people have to second guess if somebody's legitimate or not.
We kind of have to nowadays.
But it's just sad that that's a state of affairs nowadays.
You can't be intelligent and good-looking at the same time.
It's been a struggle for me, guys.
I've got to say, people ask that all the time.
I think the shocking thing is that everybody thinks it's new
i i mean this has been going these kind of scams have been going on for a long time i mean the
media has been amen people who they aren't forever i mean photoshop has been going on for decades
like magazine covers movies that's all AI and photoshopped and everything.
So they've been training us for
quite some time for this. It's just now
more in the mainstream media.
Kat, you were here very, you're the
very first one. We should just give you
a random prize for being the very first one
here today. I gotta support you, man.
I love you, Keith. man i love you you're
you're just you're the real real bro you know you know and i love melina hi baby girl maxi
you know i i was gonna say too like i know that we're like oh these things happen all the time
but like just last week i clicked a phishing email you know and lost my twitter accounts and
like you know like it's crazy because as much as like I feel like I'm so aware of all the scams, right? Sometimes
it doesn't matter, you'll just forget about everything, you know, and you'll click a link,
and you'll, you'll lose some stuff. So it's, I think it doesn't hurt to just keep repeating it.
But it is crazy. And then I don't know if you guys saw but what was it like last thursday
there was this huge like hack like everyone was being told like to change their email passwords
and like there was this huge crazy yeah crazy yeah it was billions it was like billions that
i mean like the largest hack ever it was billions of people that got, um, all of their, uh, passwords and
everything compromised. So yeah. So if you have Apple or if you have Google change shit,
do y'all have a good weekend?
I had a great weekend. Nice. Yep. I watched the fights. i trained a bunch yesterday took yeah it was just like
solid weekend ate healthy it was good that's right i ate good but guess what i literally
just got back from the epic park you guys i went to the new universal epic park yeah
yeah i mean do i have to be that stupid and say it was
epic like like for all like i mean i i it's there's literally nothing of no other way to
describe except epic they they aptly named it because it is fucking amazing like i don't
it's i cried i'm gonna be honest. I cried. I literally cried.
I cried walking into the park.
The only time I've ever cried like that was when I went on the Harry Potter ride for the first time.
I'm, you have to understand me though.
So if you don't know me, like I literally grew up at Disneyland, y'all.
Like I grew up at Disneyland.
I spent my entire childhood either camping at the beach up at Disneyland, y'all. For real, for real. I grew up at Disneyland.
I spent my entire childhood either camping at the beach or at Disneyland.
Like Timo was saying, my whole high school, everybody went in bathing suits.
I grew up in Huntington Beach, California.
People barely wore clothes.
Yo, I'm going to Huntington later today.
That's where my parents went to high school.
Both of my parents went to high school in Huntington Beach.
You know what high school they went to?
Yeah, my uncle went to Edison.
My mom and dad went to Marina.
Marina was one of our – Fountain Valley and Marina were two of our biggies.
Yeah, all my cousins live in Fountain Valley.
We're like Southern California neighbors.
That's why we're so cool.
Yeah, that's why we get along so much.
Like you know how to actually relax. yeah you know how to chill and it's like if something's wrong you can literally just go
walk to the beach and like all's right with the world very true very true we we do have darcy up
here i wanted to say hi to darcy we got to say hi to all of our ladies. We have, like, all ladies up here. This is women power.
I got to watch the Thunder win the finals last night.
I'm in Oklahoma, so I cried a little bit with that, too,
because nobody cares about anything Oklahoma does because it's such a boring state.
That's like, yay, finally, something that went on here that actually people give a shit about.
Besides that, just been hanging out and listening to you guys.
Very cool. Do you have any alpha or any NFT projects that you have on the lookout, on the radar?
Yeah. I mean, I'm always looking for Ape NFTs. I'm big. Like now, I love looking at Ape NFTs and what Ape's doing down there.
But obviously, we have our project on ETH right now, but we are moving to Ape.
But I love art more than anything. I'd rather do that
than meme coins. I just really don't want to sit all day long and watch the markets and have to
know when to trade. And it gives me anxiety. It makes me overstimulated. So I look for good
communities all the time. And so that's why I love coming to your space because that's what you do is just art.
And it makes it so much easier because I feel like the space is so overrun with like meme coin spaces and stuff.
And I'm just not really big into those.
So I actually really enjoy this space because I get to hear about more people that come up and have something going, you know, something that I might not be interested in.
Yeah, definitely. I feel like a lot of people here definitely want to make money, but in the
right way, you know, building the right way, have good hearts, you know, have good intentions.
But a lot of these meme coiners, a lot of these anonymous type of people,
they have fucking 10 different accounts, probably two of them are girls that they're impersonating they're just doing a lot you know so i do like to stay away from the
meme coin spaces i got into memes because that's all there was and i was moving with the market
right so i was like fuck it i'm gonna get in this a little bit and i honestly hated it it was the
worst time so the last like year and a half fucked around with meme coins. And I CTO'd my own here on Twitter with me and Tony at DoodleGenics.
And I round-tripped my bag.
And I just don't like it.
I did it the year before that.
A couple years before that.
So it was the cycle before with BNB.
And I didn't even like it that time either.
So I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to stick to NFTs, stick to things I really like in crypto.
I don't have to do everything just because somebody else is making all this crazy money
But I'm like, if I'm not into it, then what's the point, right?
But I really am into NFTs, NFT communities and art, art focused things here on Twitter
that have value, that have utility as well so those are
things that i'm really like into that i can believe in that i could put my heart into versus
some of these other meme coins and people are just so shallow and so transactional and they don't
give a fuck you know it's just a big casino and i live in vegas so i know how casinos are i know how degenerate gambles gamblers act and um
yeah i'm more for the nfts nft community so with gcoy i know they're sponsoring the space we have
some really big things coming up with them and they're sponsoring the space all day today so
definitely give them an ad they're my co-hosts up here and melina up here helping me give her an ad
because you're gonna win in a kid Called Beast if you do all the things
up at the top. So we have a pinned
tweet. And all right, we have
Jashok with his hand up. What's up? What's up, Mike?
I just wanted to ask, why would you move
he's a Macy holder and he's really good.
I've always, I've always said he's really good at kind of knowing where to go and like
And, um, since we have our ETH collection, all of our OGs that do own these, that's my
PFP will be able to get a free claim for these.
So the collection size is just 3666, but we'll have $999 that are going to OG holders.
And so that's a way to get some of our holders
into the Ape chain ecosystem
and something that we believe in
as far as where NFTs are going.
We feel like NFTs are kind of a big thing on Ape right now.
The gas fees are really low.
Some people believe in it, some people don't.
Being an ETH project, we are going to be switching contracts,
and that's going to be happening pretty quickly.
So our collection size was 10K, and since we are CTO,
we are going to be bringing that collection size down.
We haven't announced to the community yet.
We always tell the community first what we're doing,
but we haven't announced what that collection size will go down to yet.
But as far as APE chain goes, we have a specific contract, how we're doing, but we haven't announced what that collection size will go down to yet. But as far as Ape Chain goes, we have a specific contract, how we're doing this. We've
been very quiet about how we're doing it, but we're trying to bring back what NFTs were supposed
to do for everybody from the beginning, and that was make you money. And the way we've got this
contract scheduled and how we have it structured, it's going to do just that. So we felt like Ape
Chain would be the best place for us to go next.
And we kind of believe in what they're doing as far as what they're doing for the NFT ecosystem.
So that's what we're doing.
But you know that Yuga Labs owns Ape Chain and all their NFTs are on ETH.
But just the drop would make it so much nicer just because the gas fees are a
lot cheaper and we just like what people are doing with the art over on ape chain so that's
why we decided that we're going to do a drop on ape chain got it just curious
thank you i do think there's a lot of upside to apeshan especially how cheap it is right now
and a lot of these big players will come back because a lot of these apes and these mutant
apes you know they're just kind of waiting around i know they have some big bags some big
big pockets so i think the time is right because of gas fees you know we buy them because of the
project because of the art no because of the high you're gonna buy it because of the height yeah and i mean i've never had any just shaka you do have a good eye for things but
you're still new here my guy i was gonna say here a couple months i think bro i've been here for a
minute i've been here for years now and that feels like 40 years in this space okay i've seen it i've
seen things happen you gotta wait you gotta wait and see but so far we've seen every chain we've seen every chain fail apart apart from eath everyone has failed all
the meme coins on solana fail i don't know you're gonna zoom out but then people will tell you that
eath failed too though but oh all the top nfts are on eath you're making you can make crazy money
off of eath small collections
mint out on eath because you have a huge market of buyers right i mean i'm just saying what i see
like i would never advise any of the artists i work with to do anything on anything other than
eath because i mean you're going to rely on all the board the board community it's small it's i
mean the web 3 is small enough already to then see, I'm going to try and sell my
stuff to a subsection of this tiny market, right?
I would think that the bigger market, the bigger opportunity, or, you know, just hope
that you got one small set of customers who are just going to buy your stuff and that's
But I'm just saying what I've seen
and I have been very successful in a short period of time trading.
I wonder if people up on stage,
how do you guys feel about this take?
I'm curious to see if people are still like,
oh yeah, ETH is the mother chain for NFTs.
I think all these chains, they sell you hype to try and get you there,
but then which projects actually grow is the big question.
Like, which projects grow?
Drip Dragon totally failed on freaking the one that's owned by Coinbase.
I don't remember the name of that chain, but it's so irrelevant, right?
Final Bosu, they minteded they went to almost 600 bucks they tanked along
with um uh the the pudgy penguins chain right because no one trades there and it's such it's
so difficult right and i mean it's great if there's a a community so then you're gonna say there's
10 000 apes i got 10 000 buyers but know, I would think that on ETH,
a lot of the NFTs I've bought on ETH have been super successful because it's such a huge market, you know, but I would, I mean,
if you're already a project, I mean, Clay knows move to Suey.
So projects do stuff for hype and to buy into hype,
but I would only do it like if those guys were going to pay me to do it,
because otherwise I don't think there's any upside for the community and for small projects.
Yeah, I'm wondering if people have the same take because I'll be honest.
My only problem with Ethereum right now is where the fuck's ETH at 10K?
Alina, I'm going to answer your question.
I think Ethereum is very much still the top chain for NFTs.
Maybe not, I wouldn't even say like currently,
because I think we're still a ways away from it taking off like it did
in the last bull run or the last NFT bull run.
But I'd say that it's still um geared
up to be that number one nft blockchain but don't sleep on sui or solana like solana had um the huge
shift of all these different projects that were launching on there even in the bear market um
because of you know just the hype around solana and sui personally um they have so much like just this massive
community and all these massive um companies coming on board to launch on sui and you know
there's not too many sui nfts that i am incredibly bullish on but there's a few and i think we're
still early um and then in regards to ape chain i don't know that apepe Chain, I don't know that Ape Chain is going to, I don't know that ApeCoin will hit what it hit at its all time high again.
I can't like say that with conviction.
However, I understand Ape Chain and the hype around Ape Chain and the backing and why people actually launch their projects or shift to Ape Chain.
Because it is such a huge um community of people
who actually show up and support projects that are launched there i mean i've seen it i see it
all the time um and they really rally around it so it's kind of like you need that and if you're
able to do that successfully through whatever blockchain you use like that's really at the end
of the day that what matters um but yeah i still think i agree with joshaka on on
ethereum i just think that right now it's kind of it's a little bit bearish right now we got a
little ways to go but there's nothing wrong with with trying out sui solana um yeah that's my take
well i love it i was gonna ask too because joshaka was saying you know we're not buying nfts because
of the gas fees to keith's point before do you think that's what the incentive is there on sui and solana because the gas fees are very cheap
no i don't think so okay like to be honest like i don't like it was like at a time when when
everybody was minting on ethereum like that was one of the number one complaints right it was like
the ethereum gas fees so you would think that it actually has um
a factor in in where you launch but honestly people like the ethereum gas fees aren't that
bad right now i mean in comparison to like solana of course like it's it's a lot more but that's not
a deciding factor in my opinion i think people you know i was talking to somebody the other day
about launching they're launching a second collection and they were saying that they wanted to go on Solana originally. And that was like three, four months ago. And they're like, no, no, no, I'm going back on Ethereum. Like, I'm just going to choose Ethereum. Because at the end of the day, like, I, that's where my original collection was. That's where, I mean, I don't think they've minted out completely. I'm not sure. But it wasn't a deciding factor about gas fees.
Like we're kind of past that point now.
And I don't think people are really looking to that to decide where they're going to,
you know, put their collections or NFTs.
This is the type of feedback that, you know, especially us at GCOY, like we love to hear
because sometimes we're in our own little bubble.
Like, obviously, we're bullish on eath i started on ethereum but it's interesting to see um all these new chains pop off
and um and seeing other people minting and i saw drip dragon had his hand up trip you had minted
on base i don't know if you want to share with the crowd here today yeah just just real quick though i just want to do say i do think like eth is like the
god chain for nfts and it'll probably continue to be that way but the thing about ape chain is just
like mexy was saying they have like this niche really like hardcore community of raiders and
just hardcore supporters in ape chain that are just diehard believers in Ape and that whole
ecosystem. And I just think it's like a sleeping giant. I think that just because you're not seeing
everything that you think you want to see out of it now, it won't pop up like crazy later.
And I'm into NFTs. I'm into everything about them. But what if they don't lie right so the only thing that gets me is a chain popping up and saying we are the number one chain for nfts but you're not
right if you're not say you know we want we want to be of course and they tell all these little
indie artists and i know quite a few indie artists who put their life savings into minting
collections right and lose it all because
it's not true or because they weren't an ape but they minted on ape chain and the same on base base
was the worst they rugged all the artists right so tell the truth say we want to be you guys going
to start minting on ape chain right i mean but don't go there and say we are the best if you're not i mean which huge
successful collection is there it's just not fair man and i i'm in the i am in the support of the
little people the the artists the people creating art creating nfts the small projects i'm a small
project right so i'm looking out for other small projects anyway any way i can and i'm going to
And when I see people going out there and saying, we are the number one, you're guaranteed to be a success.
And it's not true, right?
I just don't believe it's fair to people.
It's just like those dudes masquerading as KOLs.
It's not fair because you don't know right you're a small
dude i mean you know i'm not just saying a chain alone right the the those other dudes did it to
drip dragons right he put three years into his project to launch on a chain that was non-existent
because they said we are the number one chain for nfts and he lost what two three years of his work
he he's gonna we're helping him to remint, to relaunch his project.
And I would not take that risk again if I was him, you know.
I'm just saying, tell the truth.
Our community will support you, whatever.
But don't lie to people, yo.
I have two mutants. I have a c coda i got land on coda as well
i'm a supporter right but those dudes definitely don't support me because i don't have a pfp
so if you're gonna go mint on ape chain make sure you got your pfp up
because they're not an ape no i go there i'm the last dude in the fucking in at the bottom of the
fucking stack it's like i don't exist but i'm sure last dude in the fucking, at the bottom of the fucking stack.
It's like I don't exist, but I'm sure I got more investment in their chain than half of the people there.
You know, I just don't get it.
I think I'm looking at it a little differently.
Like, I'm going to do a lot of main things on ETH.
I'm going to get involved in SWE too and just kind of like see how that goes.
But it's not like I'm putting everything on Ape Chain.
I think Ape Chain is going to be the best thing in the world.
But I do see a lot of things in it that have a lot of potential to do really well in the future.
So no matter what's going on now or what they're saying,
and there's a lot going on that i just think as an investor in the future
i think ape chain will go up i think the nfts will do better than they're doing now and i think it
will be better so that's all i'm trying to say with that i get what you're saying and i agree
with you because i'm i'm all for the little guy too that's why we're working together because you
know me and tony with doodle genics is we're all for the little people and we've been here
on tezos i've spent thousands of dollars on Tezos, and I've never sold one Tezos NFT in my life.
And I've spent over 80 ETH on Ethereum NFTs in the bull that I spent that I'll never get back as well.
So, I mean, I've spent a lot of money into the community here for years, and i never expected anything back but you you have to gauge these
different communities and different audiences and think about why you're buying this and maybe
maybe you're hardcore long term and you want to go die hard or maybe you just want it as an
investment you think it's going to do well and you'll flip it and you'll be like cool i flipped
oh, I flipped it. Thank you. And that's what the space is about, right? Because people have to
it thank you and that's what this space is about right because people have to make money as well
make money as well. So I don't buy Tezos NFTs or stuff like that to make money. I do it just to
support and I like the art. And I really do think that when I did make money in big NFTs from a
mutant, I made a lot of money from mutants. So we have like a different, I think people get personal
in their attachment because when I did come up, I made a lot of money on board ape guys and mutants
and stuff like that so i feel like maybe that has something to do with why i'm not trying to stick
up for them but i'm trying to like show you the whole picture and like zoom out a little bit
because they do seem like foofy like too cool like it's a it's a social club and if you don't
have a mutant ape or board ape they don't give a bored ape, they don't give a fuck about you. And they don't give a fuck about my shit.
I've put so much time into animations
that are... And these guys are just pumping
I put time into 3D animation.
Like we got freaking ape dancing flamenco,
But, I mean, where's the support?
Yo, just get an alt account and then be i don't want to be a fake and then i'm gonna go say you know well my chain's the best chain
i'm not a faker dude okay okay we're getting bearish now we've been talking about this a
long time all right can we hear from darcy let's hear from martic as well you know i would
love to hear about g coin what we're doing and what we're coming out with i know we have some
judging going on right now for the big art contest so maybe we should mention that a little bit
final judging today 10 grand in prizes given away um then we start working on the game, and we'll start releasing some really cool alpha.
And when we pre-release the game, I will give away one of my mutants, right, to get support, yeah?
So apes can get it, anyone can get it, but I'll give away one of my mutants, right? Because, you know, if you don't want to support me, then I can
still support you and support people who
Giving away a mutant, that's huge.
We're going to do a lot around that.
We're going to have to do a big engagement
watch on that. But Darcy, Darcy has
her hand up. Maybe she has something to add to what we were saying.
Yeah, the other thing I was going to add is just a little bit of a disagree there with
having a BAYC or a Macy because I don't own either one of those.
And my PFP is always stand strong with a rabbit because that's the community that I
And, you know, I back anything that we're going to do because I know my assets.
Darcy, we don't hear you anymore. Yeah, you're on. Oh, you don't hear me anymore.
No, I was just saying that, you know, I don't have a mutant or a BAYC or anything like that, but I stayed consistent in that space. And yeah, it took a little while for me to be able to come up, but I stayed consistent
enough that I was able to get up and talk about it.
I thought she just ended her sentence there for dramatic effect.
Well, I would love to talk to you.
But I'll second what Darcy's saying.
Those guys, they're pretty chill as long as you are not
trying to be extractionary like i'm the same way like if you just if you're around long enough they
want to hear from you like it's always weird being like the only real face on a stage of just pf you
know mutant pfbs and board apes you know pPs, but they're welcoming as long as you're good people.
I'm going to put up my Flamenco Apes, which got like maybe 10 likes after I bought my Mutant.
But anyway, I definitely would love to talk to her when her mic is...
I think what Action is also saying and probably what um
man we lost her eh we lost the rabbit i think what darcy was trying to say too
oh she's request okay she's up uh darcy i just uh i don't want to speak for you but yeah i don't
know if you wanted to finish your thought there yeah yeah sorry i don't know what was happening
with that that was weird but the wind's blowing like 60 mile an hour here today it always does
in oklahoma but no all i was saying was is well exactly what i just heard action say um you know What was happening with that, that was weird. But the wind's blowing like 60 mile an hour here today. It always does in Oklahoma.
But no, all I was saying was, well, exactly what I just heard Action say.
You know, it took me a while to get up.
I don't have a mutant or a BAYC.
I don't know how much of that y'all heard.
And I've actually made friends with them in the past couple months just because they were welcoming to me.
There's some of them that, you know, if you don't have one, they're kind of a little bit, you know, well, oh, you don't
have one, I don't care, that type of thing. But they've always been really super nice to me. They
have asked if I had one before, so they are aware that I don't. And so it was welcoming to have,
you know, that type of club be able to, you know, come up because I have heard a lot of bad things.
I've heard, you know, things, well, if you don't own this, you don't own that. They don't want anything
to do with you, but I can be, I can tell you guys that that's not true, at least for me.
And, um, that was even before they knew my, our founder, it was a holder. They just knew that,
oh, well, I didn't even know he, he was a part of that community, but okay. Yeah. That type of thing.
But I, I got to know them before they knew that.
So it wasn't an influence on them to go, oh, well, we better be nice to her because their founder owns a mutant or anything like that.
It was more of a, you know, just being consistent, being consistent and going in, listening, learning.
You know, I did a lot of learning at first, a lot of learning about what they're doing, how they work, what their chain's about, and what they're trying to push.
Because if you'll kind of look, they are more of an art chain and NFT supporters.
There's not a lot of meme coins that's come out in that chain at all.
And the one that has actually done anything over 10 mil has just been won.
So it's like, you know, I don't think that it's a bad thing that we are going to Ape Chain or we're going to do one of our collections on Ape Chain, which is going to be the Ghosts on Ape.
I think it's just, it's part of something that you should do. I think everybody should make moves.
I don't think, I think everybody should be a little bit diverse when they have a community
because you can pull people from Solana that may not be ETH Maxis and you can pull people from Ape
or bring people onto new chains and let people learn new things about different chains.
So I feel like, yeah, we are ETH and we've always been ETH and our OGs are on ETH as we are CTO.
We do have the contracts for all of that.
But I do think it's kind of cool to be diverse and get people a chance to be a part of your ecosystem off of different chains. I think that's kind of the, the wonderful thing about art is,
is you can have it on any chain and you can still be part of that ecosystem.
that's all I have to say about ape chain is just don't,
don't be afraid to go into those spaces.
If you guys are wanting to look into like ape chain stuff,
because if you just stay consistent and really listen to what they have to
say, there is a lot of smart people in that community. And they community and they do have a lot of like different looks and different outlooks on what
what's working and what's not for them. And I feel like Yuga Labs has done it right when it's
come to NFTs. I mean, they wouldn't be as big as they are and doing the things that they're doing,
you know, just like Pudgies too, if they were doing the wrong things. So there's a lot to be
learned. Even if you are an ETH Maxie or a Solana Maxie So there's a lot to be learned.
Even if you are an ETH Maxie or a Solana Maxie,
there's a lot to be learned on all these chains. So I just tell everybody to, you know,
do your research always and make good decisions.
I did post up my flamenco ape.
I'm checking it out right now. Yeah, so am I.
Everything's really quiet.
I think to Darcy's point,
I was going to say, I think to Darcy's point,
it's not about changing PFPs.
I think people, you know, in 21, it just was easier.
I'm going to just say it how it is.
It was easier to buy an ape and then join the eco and pretend to be like bullish and whatever.
Now, everyone is so used to this like grifting sort of way.
So I think it's like we're moving past the just like you own a PFP.
I think it's just like they really want to see that you're involved, interested.
And I see this with like a ton of communities, right?
And we do the same at GQA.
Like you can't just come in one day and show up and you jump in our Discord and then you leave.
scored then you leave like we need real people and community so i think to darcy's point you know
Like we need real people and community.
what i've always said about bayc like board of yacht club what they've done really well is they've
actually held a community since 21 which i think like a lot of projects could not do like if i
think about cool cats or if i think about like a ton of different ones not to like throw them under
the bus or anything but like the hardest part about this whole gig is keeping that community on their toes and being there and being respectful so
I think Darcy what you've just given me is is extra work but work where maybe G-Coy can find
ways to get in front of the Bored Ape Yacht Club in a way where it feels more genuine um so thank
you for that because it is good perspective to think about.
I don't think it's about changing PFPs.
I think it's about going into their Discord,
participating, looking at their spaces,
maybe requesting to speak and ask questions,
and then really, really get yourself involved
in a way that feels more genuine.
Because I do feel like Darcy,
a lot of my friends from ETH went to Ape Chain
are minting out their collections there right now and their main thing is we feel like we're
getting support from Bordeaux Club like that's what they tell me like that's it like oh you get it
right yeah 100% and they do they like I said I don't I'll be the first to say and this space is
recorded and so if any apes listen to it they'll too, because they are such a tight-knit group, and I do not own one, and they know I don't.
But they still let me up to talk.
They still let me chime in on conversation.
They'll talk about, you know, I get to learn so much about what's going on on the inside because they sit and have conversations out in the open about everything.
about everything, you know, the Dow, all the stuff that was going on that they're all kind
You know, the DAO, all the stuff that was going on that they're all kind of talking about right now.
of talking about right now. And, you know, even though I don't own it, you know, it's not one of
those things where they're like, well, you don't get to say in it because you don't even, you know,
or anything like that. But I love it because I feel like we should all just kind of, you know,
mingle. And I think, you know, for us to move forward when it has to do with anything with
NFTs, I think we should all be trying to get along at least a little bit and not pointing fingers at each other and going, OK, you're doing the right thing and you're not and you're doing
the right thing, but learn and grow with each other so we can get this back to where it should
be. I feel like that's the biggest deal is we have so many scammers in the space and people
have forgotten about NFT communities so much because they've been scammed so many times that
they forgot and they quit believing. And so with our ghost on ape, we're trying to bring that back. We're wanting them to start
believing again. And that's what we're doing. That's why our contract is set up the way it is.
That's why we've been very hush hush about the ghost on apes and how the contract works. It's
because we want people to start believing again in NFTs. And that's exactly what this project's
Yeah, I love that, Darcy.
You've given me more work, but listen, I'll add it to my play.
I will keep doing ape animations.
And I will give away my mutant because our game is going to be the best game ever.
It is going to be the number one game in all of Web 3.
I'm going to use this marketing strategy.
Well, and that's how you set up your future, right?
That's how you set it up i mean
you have to have the energy of it you have to feel it see it and believe it before it will
magnetically be magnetized to you that's manifestation in reality i mean that's that's
and it's just it's quantum physics it's not just science and woo woo stuff it's actually
so we're gonna manifest this to me
Exactly, and if you have to believe it and you have to feel the feelings of it and see it a reality
Before it can it's not the other way around. It's not like oh when this happens
I'm gonna be so happy or when this happens. I'll feel complete. No, no, no, no. You got to be like I'm happy now
Okay, you can very now like this is my
I just wanted to add, too, I will give away some white lists today.
If anybody's interested in the Ghost on Ape, you don't have to have an OG to get it.
But the white list price on it is $20, and Publix is going to be $25.
We are giving away just a few more to people. And if you want to go to the Ghost on Ape account, I did put it in the purple pill.
The first pinned tweet we have up there, if you want to go and comment, I want a whitelist,
I would love to get into the back end with you and tell you a little bit more. We do have our
BTFD Rabbit. That's our main account. We have our community space every Thursday night at 9 p.m. Central Standard Time.
That's when we tell all of our alpha with the ghost.
Our community knows everything first.
We've always had the community in the forefront of our mind.
Everything we do is for them.
So that's where we give the community alpha,
and then we're able to tell other people in other spaces afterwards.
But if you guys want to tune into that, you're more than welcome.
Any questions that you all want to ask or anything about why, when, how, and where, we're open to answer them.
So yeah, thank you for having me up. Can I post it on the pill, Keith?
Okay, thank you. And then this is the pinned tweet. And like I said, if you guys want to ask any questions or anything at our rabbit space, you're more than welcome.
Or if you want to send me a DM, I'm the community manager for the BTFD rabbits.
And I would be happy to talk through any of it with you.
Is the rabbits a separate account?
Yeah, so the rabbits is the BTFD rabbits. I can, if Keith doesn't mind, I'll post our community space.
Yes, it's also in my bio too, the rabbit account.
And that's the OG rabbits.
We've been around for three years and we CTO'd it.
It's been our year anniversary.
It's been, or it'll be our-year anniversary in August, I believe.
And we have a 10K collection and we have over 3,000 unique holders.
So we're still going strong and we're still building.
And that's on ETH, the rabbits?
I can buy it on the Magic Kingdom?
You can buy those on ETH and then all of the OGs get a free claim for the ape chain.
So we've got a pretty good floor right now.
So there's some on there that's pretty easy to get part of our ecosystem.
And we're also collecting carrots right now, too.
So you can passive stake your OGs and earn carrots.
And you can also gamble them on our website.
So it's a lot of fun to do some more carrots.
That'll be used for something later, though.
And I can't tell you yet what it is.
I love the carrots, too. I like that they're bunnies with carrots. It's so smart.
Yeah, we smoke a lot of carrots, too, in our community, by the way. So there's some more alpha. If you'd like to know, there'll be something going on with some smoked carrots.
Oh my god, Keith, I am feeling like OG PFfp for you keith that's what i'm feeling a smoke carrot oh yeah our community smokes lots
of carrots yo it sounds pretty good if we're talking about an actual carrot i have not smoked
an actual wild but i did want to say hi to my good friend that i've known forever here in
the space she's an artist i'm pretty sure she's in new york right now she's probably getting ready
for nft nyc but molly what's up good morning how are you hey oh my gosh it's been a minute dude like
since i've been in a space i saw you had one though so I just popped in here and yeah I am getting ready for
Was curious if you're in the city
But I'll hit you up in the dms for sure
And um, how's everything going?
I know you had some in real life art galleries last year
And you've been doing a lot of things like with real art in real life.
And I know you're also in the Web3 as well. So how's it going? Let's do a little check in.
It's going well. I mean, yeah, I've been like fully immersed in the traditional art scene for about a year now I feel like it took me like a little bit of time when I first came
to the city to like transition from doing most of myself online and using like NFTs to like
getting my art where I really desired it to be which was like on white walls and stuff but
like I'm still kind of like mixing both worlds in a way. Like I actually have an event this coming Saturday that I figured I would like share to this space since there's probably some people that are in town this week for NFT NYC.
It is an art gallery like event, but me and my friends who are doing it, we did this last year and we all met actually through nfts and like twitter
and then we lived together in new york city as roommates and now all three of us are like
just like in the traditional art scene and it's just like crazy how fast things move and
and how like you can like emerge into a scene like this from something like crypto like i feel like
it's super slept on and a lot of people like don't hear
but I guess I'm here today just to like share a little bit about that,
maybe share this event if anybody's interested.
definitely post it up to the top.
We'd love to check it out.
Mexie is going to be in town for sure too.
stage uh she's a really good friend of mine she's really cool so it'll be cool for you guys to
connect mexi she loves art as well so hell yeah sounds great post it up i want to check it out
hell yeah yeah i'd be excited to meet anybody here um this will be like my second event of
this year and then my i I don't even know,
maybe like seventh or eighth event in New York City since I moved here almost two years ago.
But it's also like immersive. So besides like, you know, displaying my art and then my two co-hosts
displaying their art and it's all physical work. we're displaying there is like um a couple walls
within this venue that we have that we're like covering from the ceiling to the ground with
paper and then we're just like throwing art supplies all over the place and people can pull
up and like draw all over the walls um so we try to get like we try to really engage people
like with actual creativity.
And last year was a huge success.
So, yeah, we're doing it again this year.
You know, I hope that it gives people that are coming into the city for tech stuff a little bit of a taste of, like, the underground scene in New York city.
what do you got planned for New York?
I will be there tomorrow.
I'm going to kind of just go with the flow.
There's a couple of things I want to do and go to.
I'm supposed to, um, i guess i'll just tell everybody i'm supposed to be going to the stock exchange thursday
morning and ringing the opening bell um i'm supposed to follow up today to get that set up
they were telling me like they might might have some like security things going on with all their bullshit. So I got to follow up.
But yeah, just going to do a couple things.
I got to cop some Big Neighbors merch.
They're going to have a setup out there.
I know the homie Facts got them set up with merch out there.
So I'm going to be doing that.
But yeah, I'm just excited to meet all my friends that are out there and have a good time.
Not really trying to like
do like i know some people were like oh i want to go to like this this this this like 20 different
things i'm like yeah no i'm good we're gonna see what happens
and keith you're supposed to follow up and tell me how do you get to ring the bell
there's no follow-up here um i am friends like there's a guy named einstein of wall street
his name is peter tuchman i worked with him for about a year and a half two years
um with his trading signal group and he had invited me before because the company I was working with
went public on the NASDAQ and they did like the ringing,
the opening bell and all that.
I actually didn't get to go.
So he's always told me to come out whenever I'm in New York.
And yeah, he'll make it happen.
On TV or something like that
I don't think they do that
I think it's just low key type
I don't know I'm not sure I don't think so
You think you can say like
Liberate Ukraine afterwards
Jashaka is always up to something.
I'm going to say free Jashaka.
That's what I'm going to say.
I got to support my wife, yo.
Anyway, I've minted two of those BTFT rabbits.
And then I got to actually pop out for like about 50 minutes to get ready.
My friend's daughter is having her a ballet contest.
Yeah, we got to go support.
Support the next generation, you know?
Are they like the little ones that like literally just all dance around because they don't
know that's it it's gonna be so cool and metzi it's way not as cool as ringing the bell for
wall street but i did get to ring the bell for the metropolitan opera house for Swan Lake last week
when I got to go see Misty Copeland in New York.
And I got to ring the bell to tell everybody to go back to their seats.
So that was kind of my little cool thing.
But it's definitely not the ring of the bell on Wall Street.
Well, hope you like my rabbits.
I'm going to post them and then i'll be back in a bit thank you
all right let's go we do have a lot of people requesting up so i'm not telling anyone whenever
i say that there's always somebody that i don't want to leave that leaves so
cat don't even try it i'm just saying saying i'm just letting people know putting it out there we haven't said hi to martek and if i don't
say hi to him he's gonna put like some bad doggy treats and my dog's food or something some bad's
gonna happen so let's say hi to this big dog say what's up to martek this morning i know he has an
nft collection that's minting right now. So I'm an owner.
Tashaka's an owner. Molina,
we should get you to be an owner. But yeah,
what's up, Martek? How you doing?
into a space on a Monday.
Put some respect on NFT Kids kids name nft monday
all projects invited g coy the shit goes down what is popping everybody happy monday hope you
had a fantastic weekend but like yo man where is the level of expectation? This is what I want to know. The level of expectation.
Listen, there's no guarantees in Web3, right?
There's no guarantees that your token's going to fucking moon.
There's no guarantees that your project is going to mint out in five fucking minutes.
Why don't everybody subscribe to the Bitcoin philosophy?
Bitcoin didn't hit over 100 grand in a fucking day.
Not even in two weeks. Not even in two months a hundred grand in a fucking day, not even in two weeks,
not even in two months, not even in three years. It takes time. It takes commitment. It takes
consistency. That is what you want to see from founders of NFT projects. Oh, I'm in this. Oh,
shit. The project tanked. What the fuck did you expect? What did you really and truly expect?
The motherfucker hasn't been around for like two minutes
and you thought he was gonna go to the moon
and he was gonna make a bag?
Like, yo, Keith, remember when it was Meme Coin Monday?
What did I always used to say to the motherfuckers?
Hey, I'll see you in six months.
Let me see you saying the same shit.
Let me see you present the same passion.
Let me see you show up for at least six motherfucking months. Let me see you saying the same shit. Let me see you present the same passion. Let me see you show up for at least six motherfucking months. Then I might give you a shot. So like,
yo, I'm just here. Yeah, I'm going against the grain, but everybody set yourself the
right level of expectation, right? Make sure before you go into a project, number one,
do your own research. Don't even fucking ape in, project, number one, do your own research. Don't even
fucking A-pin, right? Number two, do your own research again. Don't even A-pin. Give it maybe
a couple of months. Get to know who the founder is. Get to hear them speak in a few different spaces.
See how they show up and represent themselves consistently, right? Because this is about
consistency, right? Asoshaka said there's
a couple of projects that just minted oh they mooned overnight where the fuck they at they're
gone they're gone already came out to a big fanfare oh yeah look look at all the hype look at all this
we minted out in seven minutes yada yada even a month later, the motherfuckers are gone. Big dogs are here.
We ain't going for three and a half, four years proof of work in Web3, supporting other projects
before I even decided to drop anything on the blockchain, right? Let me see you be consistent.
Then I might start believing in what you're going to fucking do. But like to go out,
jump into a mint, you don't know the founders, you haven't seen any kind of proof of work from
the project. I don't care whether they're saying they got utility. I don't care if they don't have
utility. I want to see consistency. Set yourself the right level of expectation, fam. This is not
microwave popcorn. Everything in life takes time
take a page out of the web 2 book where there is plenty of proof of work it takes time to build
a motherfucking business that's all i want to say set yourself the right level of expectations
right watch these founders study these fucking founders See how they're moving. Is their sentiment consistent?
That will give you the information that you need to make a calculated decision whether you want to enter into that project.
Hey, let me just land my plane over there on runway.
Don't wreck yourself, y'all.
martek coming in hot on runway two i can never expect anything less from martek
god i love you just love you love you i love your passion i love how you speak i love how you mean every i literally
in my cells feel everything that you say it's not even about what you say it's the vibe you
literally have the coolest fucking most authentic vibe i just i thought you know i love you man i
got mad love for you too man but we gotta keep it real you know i mean for the ogs and for the
newbies you know i'm saying let's got to keep it real, you know what I mean? For the OGs and for the newbies, you know what I'm saying?
Let's just fucking keep it real.
Keep your level of expectation correctly and firmly focused on your intentions.
Like, you know what I mean?
If you say that you're going to mint a new mint and you think that it's going to 10x,
like, yo, I don't know what to tell you, fam.
You might be on the fucking minus side of things.
But at the same time, the NFT narrative is strong.
lot of these founders kudos to a lot of these founders that have the courage to even launch
on a blockchain it don't matter and let me say it don't matter whether you're on ethereum it don't
matter whether you're on eight it don't matter whether you're on base it don't matter what
fucking block you could be on one of these new blockchains that's emerging right now
if the founder is sincere to what his intentions are,
it doesn't matter what blockchain you're fucking on. The blockchain you're on might not be that
indicator that is going to determine your success. The work that you put in is going to be what you're
going to get out of it. That's all I'm going to say. I don't give a fuck. Oh, I'm going to be on
A. Oh, I'm going to be on this one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right, then. Whatever. Whatever. You're
fucking chasing. You're chasing a dream, yo. You're chasing a dream. Doubles down on
what you believe in and deliver that to your community. Not what you think is going to
be the next hottest thing. Do you know what I'm saying? I mean, don't forget, we got pseudo PFP profile pictures on Reddit.
Do you remember the big wave from Reddit?
That wasn't even on a fucking blockchain.
And then everybody says, oh, yeah, I'm going to create a collection on Reddit.
Just have conviction in yourself as a founder, right?
And whatever decision you make, wherever you decide to launch your collection,
just stay true to that. Don't chase
the next thing, because the next thing
might not be it. The alpha of
today is the beta of tomorrow.
You know what I mean? As long as these
founders have conviction within themselves
and they are confident within
matter what blockchain you're on. Just go
out there and put your best foot
forward am i dropping mics around this bitch that's the a that's the silence
that's just real talk man you know me but like yo just rocker what's up one today we just i wonder when i'm going
what do you mean release the blockchain what do you mean no not a blockchain a blockchain bro
like we have black card yeah we have black card around a blockchain
i'll be that hey i'll be the leader of that.
I'm black as the ace of spades around it.
I'm getting blacker, man.
Because it's hot than a motherfucker out here in the ace.
I'm getting crispy out here in the fucking sun, man.
It says I'm getting blacker.
Black people can get blacker. I'm getting crispy, yo. Serious people can get black i'm getting crispy yo serious
you can't i'm getting christmas i grew up with she gets darker but hey i do have this fucking
sexy ass blow about me though my skin is glistening man i'm taking in all of that
that that nutrition from the sun and shit like that i'm'm shining. And I just bawled off my head as well. She looking
like a sexy ass fucking Eminem
black one around this motherfucker.
I'm telling you like, yo,
that's why I'm dox, man. I'm
flexing. I'm dox. I'm a flex
their asses. I've had actually I've had two offers
of marriage over the last
is jumping in my DMs like yo this is fun man
this is martin we already went over this earlier those aren't ladies bro
hey martin put up your project everybody here should have at least one blockchain guardian
nft in their collection i got a couple actually i think i have like five support you know i just
supported i got a couple of those super cool rabbits we're here to support you know if everybody
were to support each other on these um spaces it would really help right i mean some of these nfts
are not expensive right put up a little cash before you know if you're here to pitch your
project support other projects as well, right?
That's how community works.
And as far as BTFD, I know the full history on BTFD.
He's the one that CTO'd it way back in the day.
We must be going back like about three years over on the Ethereum chain.
I even know the guy that tried to do a hostile takeover after the CTO
But yeah big shout out to the BTFD rabbits my man Diddy
Wishing him every success for the future like you know on a chain amount what chain you he's on
You know, I mean just keep on grinding man
I mean, you know time is the greatest revealer of all things as I say and like, you know
We can come in these spaces and say all the sexy shit just like you know pour some honey in everybody's ear make it sound like the popular thing time will
tell time will tell I'm still here I'm still rocking every fucking Saturday like you know
what I'm saying now it serves a dual purpose it's not only martet networks it's the blockchain
guardians so like you know the cute the cool thing about that is the blockchain guardians so like you know the cute the cool thing about that is the blockchain guardians
immediately inherited my network so i gave my network to my project my project already has a
community so like you know these are the things like and it took two three years of being in the
space just grinding just building these relationships meeting new projects meeting new
people and like you know the network is fucking off the chain right now.
You know what I mean? We had a great space on Saturday, 1600 plus organic listening motherfuckers from Web3.
We gave away a ton of money. We gave away a ton of NFT. So it's all about giving back.
You know what I mean? Did I talk about my mint? Maybe one and two times because it ain't about my mint.
You know what I mean mean i'm taking the
bitcoin theory like if it takes five years to mint out this and then all of a sudden a guardian is
costing you like 10 15 grand so be it i'll go that route i don't need instant gratification
too many people are looking to come up on the come up i don't need this web free money i've got
money in web 2 you know what i'm? So are the founders looking to sustain their lifestyle by making this web free money?
That's one thing that you got to ask yourself.
Are they going to show up even though their project isn't minting?
Are they going to lose heart?
Oh man, the minster coming in slow.
Oh, we're going to migrate from this chain to the other chain because that's where the volume...
No, no, no, no no no no no you want to get with people that are firmly grounded in what they believe in
and are subscribing to a long-term build because what i say about nft projects or even crypto
currency projects it's an infinite build the building never stops you don't know who you're
going to meet in the space today that's going to bring something of value to you. And you say, oh, you know what? Maybe I
can incorporate that into my project. That's another piece of value that I can add to give
back not only to my community, but to web free. Because we're not just doing it for our own
communities. We're doing it for the continued growth of web free. So I just want everyone to
have firm and sure expectations of why the fuck you are here. That's just me free. So I just want everyone to have firm and sure expectations of
why the fuck you are here. That's just me though. That's just my little two cents, my little two
satoshis that I want to throw in the mix. But like Keith, back over to you fam. You know me,
I'll be here talking for the next five hours. That's just what I do. Saturday space was five
hours. You know what I mean? No dead ear. Zero dead motherfucking ear.
We don't do, we don't deal with dead ear.
Like, you know what I mean?
We keep the fucking content flowing.
We keep the conversations flowing.
Everyone's having a good time.
Everyone's having a laugh.
Because that's what it's about.
It's like, yeah, we do have time to talk about like, you know, current affairs and web free and all that.
But I think we got to touch bases with reality and like, you know, what's going on in people's lives and world affairs and all that kind of stuff just mix it up i think
that's what makes a more robust and interesting space but that's just my tape what the do i know
i've only been doing it for four years
Martek what the fuck do you
What do you eat in the morning
To have this kind of fucking energy
Man I eat lightning bolts for breakfast
Every fucking day i'm telling you
listen girl in the verse i wake up in the morning and you know what the first thing i say to myself
is i'm gonna be fucking great i'm here for greatness who's gonna fucking outwork me
do you know what i'm saying not to say that nobody else is working hard but that's just me
motivating myself i have to. I have to win.
I have to win at life, yo.
I woke the fuck up this morning,
so I'm going to make the best of every single second that I have,
and I want it to be good,
but for the people that I come into contact with.
Maybe throughout what I said
inspiration for somebody to look at things in a different way. Hey, if that's what happened,
I did my part, man. I did my part. So that's it, man. I'm hyped up. I can't help you. I'm hyped.
No, I love it. I want to know what you next Pull up the next project. Yeah, let's see
Okay, Cory. Oh, well, it's interesting. I can't actually bring them up out as a speaker. Let's see Cory B
Welcome to the stage you got that PFP that gives me the heebie-jeebies though, but GM
Cory B cory b oh oh boy yo
how's everyone doing we're doing great man how are you doing want to hear about
what's going on with you i'm just chilling monday um grinding grinding on x working a little bit as
well from home so it just kind of multitasking
one to come see what's going on, say what's up. Um, and kind of talk about my profile picture,
the Solana strays, um, connecting in real life, um, to the web three universe um essentially my profile picture it's the solana strays um essentially
what it is is um it's a collection of 1111 pixel art cats um when we first minted uh i believe it
was april 25th 20 percent of the mint went directly to the ASPCA to help the rescue with them to help fund and do what
they needed with to donate that. And now currently we're on Magic Eden and every purchase on Magic
Eden, 20% of the proceeds are going to a local rescue in Texas currently. But as we grow and
bigger, we're going to try to get into everybody's
community and share the love and give money to everybody's community because there's stray cats,
stray dogs, everything all over the place, all over the world, all over the country,
everywhere. And so it's obviously something if you purchase, you can help out and obviously uh 20 of every purchase is going to help out um those rescue animals
i i love that very cool have you so do you guys have a record of everything you've already given
to the shelters and a little uh i don't know if there's like a total number, but obviously,
um, I can make, I can post up there, um, make a post and show it. But the post was, um, essentially
there's a video of the founder addiction. I think he's below in the, in the chat as well. Um, but
he essentially put his face on camera and went to the shelter. There's a video that shows everything about it and shows the donations. We have
records of the donations during the mint. It was like every single
time it was minted, he would get an email. So it was just a consistent
email and there's a video of that posted as well. And I'll link
that up here in the Jumbotron for you guys so you can take a look at that
um yeah and so like that video is posted um and two i would say like two weeks ago our floor was
0.15 0.16 maybe 0.18 and currently we're about 0.4 um so we're kind of moving on the rise we want to try
to get the highest floor the floor price so obviously the higher the floor price the bigger
the donation we're able to give so yeah i think we've had you guys up before i like it though i like what you're doing melina what do you think are you a cat fan uh no i'm allergic to cats um but it doesn't mean
i'm not a fan about the digital stuff i mean that's what's cool about you know digital assets
right i don't have to actually smell and sniff the cat in real life uh no it's cool cory the
reason why i said it gave me the heebie jeebies
is because it actually reminds me of another um rugged collection uh i don't know what it's called
uh but it looks like um it looks like one of those other cats that people uh big ruggers in the space
were mexican you know what i'm talking about i don't know like yeah you're talking about the doger dogs they're dogs
okay so different okay no very cool yeah we're different we are definitely different um i'm also
allergic to cats just so you know but i am i've adopted a whole bunch of solana strays so um
obviously nothing wrong with that um yeah we are different than the dogenal dogs um
myself coming from um i've only been in the web3 space about six months when i first got in
i got onboarded into being a dogenal dog was a starter dog um just didn't really resonate as
much with me didn't feel like i was as big a part of the community because I didn't own a legit one I
felt like so um you know no no shade to them um they've got their own thing going but um you know
the Solana Strays I was able to kind of get in on the ground level help out um and a mod in the
discord now and just kind of started before the mint went through the mint and now we're kind of on the
magic eden uh train and just kind of promoting and also just kind of saying what's up talking
about it but also i think a lot of people resonate and connect with the in real life aspect of it
i haven't really come across too many projects that kind of you know gap both of them together
you know buying something on the web
three space also is generating something in in real life um you know as well so i think it's
just a little something different um and i think obviously that's kind of what's made us kind of
pop and move in move up in on the magic eden leaderboard and also
getting kind of bigger sales because obviously
20% is being donated. And let me just say this with the Doge Journal Dogs,
I think there's been a lot of stuff and everyone, if they really want to look into it, they can look
into it and find out all the things some of the main guys over there have done. But I'm not getting into that because you can't take away the fact that these guys have onboarded a ton of really good people.
And when they get into that cult kind of fun, and it's a fun cult because I'm in all these cults too.
It's a fun type of thing.
Then it's just like that's the first thing you're into.
And we can't really judge the PFfp everyone on their pfp it's good to generalize people like for our brain sometimes but
when we talk to these people in spaces and it's better to talk to people can you can actually
hear their opinion where they came from look they just start out in dogeable dogs it's like you're
just fucking born in some weird country and they have some crazy religion you're just a baby you don't even know but maybe you change because you're like oh wow this shit's
wild here i'm gonna change over to you know whatever you know just for example but i i think
that i should give people more of a benefit of a doubt with the dojonal dogs because in the
beginning when they were minting on the doge drc20 i I mean, I came from Doge and Dogecoin, so I wanted to get involved, and I had a couple dogs.
So, I mean, my mom bought some dogs as well, and they were very profitable, so I did make money off of it.
But I think it is one of those collections and communities and cults that people like to copy and they got like a lot of scammers that
will impersonate them and then um some of them are scammers but i would say i would say a lot
of them aren't a lot of them these guys are very good at onboarding people and they onboarded a lot
of good people into web3 and then like when they're here and it's their first experience
we're already kind of giving them shit.
And they were not involved in these scams.
They weren't involved in all this.
All they did is fucking buy a dogenal dog on a DRC-20.
And it was their first project.
And they just got on the hype.
But then that shows that they're just new.
You know what I mean, Keith?
But be careful. but i feel like i
have to give people especially if they come up here and talk like i'm gonna let dojos come up but
some people i'm like i already heard you i'm done with you you're you're you're exactly what i
thought you were but i'm gonna try to give everyone the benefit of a doubt because we
really don't know and if they want to come up here and talk everyone comes here and talk but uh people that aren't following me that have like some crazy
shit in their profile about politics i'm not going to let you up so someone's been a couple
different weird people have been trying to request up here and it's a big red flag if they don't
follow us and they have some crazy like political ideologies in their. So I'm not going to let you up.
We're talking about NFTs.
We don't give a fuck about all that bullshit right now.
We're trying to check out of all that stuff,
and we're trying to learn about some NFT communities
and hang out and learn about Molly's party in New York
and hear about Melina being totally bearish on that last project.
Hey, listen, I just said it looked like an oldie but goody you know
i i didn't mean it cory i didn't mean it towards you at all it's okay it's okay well you know what
you know what we're gonna start off on the right foot here i'm gonna post a picture of one in here
and i'm gonna do a giveaway in the space here nft kid you pick pick the winner and we'll give Solana stray away to someone in
the space as long as whoever you pick.
And I got to pipe in. I apologize, Corey, because I was on a call, but you guys know
I'm hella bullish on Solana strays. Not only that, I'm working on potentially doing some collabs with you and helping more animals across the United States because that's how badass these guys are.
They're not just dedicated to their own local area.
They actually want to help animals around the U.S., around the world.
I mean, this is like a movement.
This is just where they're getting started. And I'm hella bullish on these guys. I am absolutely, I have strays. I love the
strays. I love the project. I've talked to the owners. I love the legitimacy and I just, I care
about you guys. I love your heart. I love where you're at. I love where your head's at. I love where you're putting, you're walking the talk and I dig it. I just, I absolutely fucking dig it. And
I'm all, I'm in, but you know, I appreciate that. Of course, of course, much love, much love. Um,
I posted it up in the Jumbotron, kind of giving a sick one away with some orange sunglasses or
orange red sunglasses on. Yeah, so NFT kid,
appreciate you letting me come up here
If anyone has any questions,
I'm still going to be hanging out in the space.
If you need to bring somebody else up to speak,
DM me anything you need, whatever.
And like I said, NFT kid,
you pick the winner of that NFT, buddy.
Alright, that sounds good.
Do you want to make an individual
I could pick someone in the tweet, or should I just pick
on this pinned tweet up at the top?
We'll make it easy. Whatever
Whatever you want to do. Whatever is
easiest for you. I can make a post about it if you
you know if they want to just comment under that you can
just you know whatever you want to have them do.
I was just going to say just want to support and obviously give back to the NFT community.
Yeah, everyone just that pin tweet up at the top, comment under that.
And then we'll pick a winner on that in the next, like, like, let's say like 10, 15 minutes.
And then we'll go from there.
Thank you for the giveaway.
We're trying to, you know, we want people to come up here and talk.
If they want to give something to the crowd, onboard some new people,
share some alpha, then we'd love the giveaways.
All right. Yeah, for sure.
I just appreciate you letting me come up here and talk about it, man.
Yeah, no problem. That's what it's about today.
Yeah. Thank you for taking's what it's about today. Yeah.
Thank you for taking the roasting from Melina, too.
That was some smooth roasting.
I wasn't roasting anything, but I did give them a follow.
So in my book, that's some good shit if I'm following you.
It's more of a basting, not a roasting.
It was more of a basting.
I just said it looks like an oldie NFT that gave me the heebie-jeebies.
No, then you said you're allergic to cats.
I found that five years ago, okay?
It was like a whole thing.
It was a mirage of things.
It's literally like seeing a van drive by with bubble windows.
It's like, it's really scary.
Oh, yeah, I just wanted to drop a little bit of alpha.
So there's a project minting out right now called Kaze Creations,
if you haven't heard of them.
They're trying to do something new.
So everybody's been chasing PFPs.
They're doing banners for your ex.
I think they're minting outright now.
Works out, I think, about $100 for one.
But they have the coolest.
On ETH, of course, the only chain.
But they have the coolest mint experience on their website
you go you connect your wallet you connect your x or your discord they check how active you are if
you weren't active you can get allocated anything from like 2 to 50 nfts when you mint um you mint
all through the website then they have a reveal you go and you can do the reveal process and they got cool animations and the whole production if you if you're a new project these guys totally raised
the bar like 10x you know so um go check them out i minted i got an epic top one percent in the first
one that i did so i felt super cool but i'm just gonna post it up because i have to leave to my friend's daughter's ballet
event but um it's definitely good alpha because i'm quite sure they'll go up in price can't say
they will you know but um the banners are cool and they're doing like also interactive banners and
you know you can merge your pfp with your banner they're doing really they're cooking they're not
just minting so i just wanted to share that with everyone here if you haven't heard
of them check them out and they got a lot of backing from the whole Azuki
community as well so I'm just gonna pin up my mint in the jumbotron you said it
was cast creations right yes that's yeah? Yes. They sent me one before with my name and all this stuff.
And I was wondering if they started minting.
And you can do the reveal now.
So I'm just posting this up in the Jumbotron.
This was the epic that I got.
So this is not the banner.
This is the reveal of the mint.
I think after they mint then they reveal
the banners but if you go to their x you'll see what the banners are they're x banners right so
it's something new and refreshing instead of everyone chasing pfps they're taking on a
different part of the whole um the whole x ecosystem and the nft ecosystem um so it'll
be super interesting to see where they go but i would say
if you can mint one go grab one you know anyway that's it i gotta run i'm so sorry
ballet kid ballerina is calling me
bye all right have a good time. Wish you luck.
I'm going to check this out.
Tshaka has a really good eye for these new NFT projects coming out.
His ear is definitely to the ground.
He's like, he has that gift.
So I'm going to check this out.
I think I'm just going to get one.
I'm always late to one mexy's into it too holy shit i'm always late i was late to everything that's fine melinda should we both buy one yeah don't look at me for the kind of that kind of stuff i'll be honest okay okay i'm not looking um listen you know what
i'm gonna say it i'm gonna say it i'll say it here, okay? This is NFT Monday.
If you've been burned with NFTs, you kind of have your guard up.
It's like a bad date, you know? Like, after a couple of bad dates, you're like, listen, I'm going to be picky.
Like, Kat's laughing, right?
So, like, you got to be picky.
You know, you got to be picky.
Yeah, but they got a huge community.
They actually did an art contest just like the one we just did.
Yeah, their community rocks.
And they're doing new stuff, which is always fresh to see, right?
Somebody's doing something different.
It's good to support them.
I was talking about you like you were gone. You can't just come
You're right, because Jashaka has a really good eye.
And sometimes he's like, when he picked up those
moonbirds, I was like, moonbirds is dead,
bro. They fucking pumped right after he
bought them. So I was like, oh my god.
I got to take the helicopter to the jet.
This guy's flexing on his hard.
We're trying to buy banners.
We're trying to buy X banners.
He wanted his own exit on that one.
Okay, we have OG Peanut, my boy Peanut.
He's had his hand up for a little bit.
I know they have some stuff cooking.
I know they have a mint coming.
I think they're going to give a little giveaway for the river as well.
OG Peanut, how you doing?
I'm doing fantastic, my friend. I was just putting my hand up I don't like to front the line but there was there's a fake account on x going around and there was a a scam mint also being
dropped on launch my nft but luckily they they reacted very quickly and they removed it now.
Only follow official links, please.
It's a bit of pressure, guys.
Yeah, there's a lot happening.
So far my day was all right.
But this just came in like two minutes ago.
That's why I put my hand up um it's um yeah i don't want people to uh to mint the wrong one so
uh we have uh two people watching uh watching the website right now to keep an eye on it
yeah break it down let's check in with you Let's tell the crowd what you've got going on.
Can I just give you also a little bit of advice? Watch Magic Eden as well.
Because when Bad Bonds minted, there was like three fake Bad Bonds collections on Magic Eden.
Okay, very good. Very good. I'll put that through to the team.
Yeah, a little bit about the nuts. The nuts are dropping right now.
It's just 10 more minutes for the whitelist.
And then it's public minting.
These nuts will be, I think, the most valuable nuts on the world very soon.
They will act as, the first utility to them will be uh acting as mint passes uh for next
week's pfp drop you guys are so you guys are about to mint you guys are going to start in 10 minutes
so you guys will be here live with us in the space that's fun absolutely yeah the public mint
is about to open in 10 minutes so um yeah i'm glad we took down the the fake ones um but going
back to what martek was saying i I feel like Martek has been watching
us for seven months because while he was preaching, I felt it because that's exactly the attitude
that we've had over the last seven months. And as a meme token, you guys know it, it's
extremely difficult. And I think my biggest challenge or when i can uh call it a tiny victory is when i can
convince uh a lot of you nft lovers to uh to to give a meme coin a chance again because um we're
truly trying to bring fun back to meme coins and and trust because it's um yeah pom fun uh as we all know kind of ruined
that and the basis of what meme coins were about having fun and coming together and believing in
something that's i feel has gone out the door too much um and that's why why we decided like
we we have to we have to find this niche where people do stick together.
And NFTs, to me, are at the moment a tenfold of the community vibes that are going around in meme coins in general.
I mean, there is a couple of gems out there.
And I can safely say that we are one of them.
And, yeah, I hope people will just do their own research for sure.
Look into us because we are innovating and we're crossing the bridge
and really trying to onboard people and keep them in crypto
rather than get them in, steal from them and just leave with the northern sun.
get them in, steal from them and just leave with the Northern sun.
And I believe we have some very interesting things for people to, yeah, I don't want to
say too much, I don't want to say too little, but these nuts are going to be very pivotal,
I think, in our journey and they will come with a lot of benefits in the future.
So yeah, I'm really excited to be here and I'm so happy that Martek did that whole speech
because he just made me feel that I'm on the right way.
I got to know a lot of people in these last seven months.
DDC here on stage is one of them.
They don't even have to be in your community every single day,
but you can still have an incredible amount of support
outside of your own community.
And it's very small things,
but just think of a vote on some exchange
you have supported so many people
I think that's just going to benefit
I'm looking forward to have some fun
maybe even fans of meme coins again.
You're changing to one of us.
You guys already have that NFT vibe, so you're coming to us to kind of change.
You're like a caterpillar turning into a fucking butterfly, okay?
Right in time for the NFT bull market to be coming up soon.
Peanut, you're doing it right.
When you guys do start minting,
I'd like to see some of those GIFs up at the top.
You guys, like, caught my attention
because you, like, made some fun some fun gifts and all this stuff so
uh i wanted to kind of kind of see those again and check that out and that kind of stuff like that
active uh like fun community kind of vibe coming together and kind of rating posts and doing memes
and stuff like that doing the gifts that's all like that's great community building that's great
the community it sounds funny but it really is you kind of all do it together and you guys are like
doing this thing so yeah i think you're on the right path i love doing these things with you man
now i bet you get a kick out of it we have so much fun like uh i can say we we have have quite the video building with all sorts of these moments.
It's going to be epic, man.
You got to set yourself, like, be different, you know, and that's what you guys are doing.
I also, Keith, I just posted up on top because to Peanut here talking about the fake accounts, I just posted up on top so people see there is a fake account impersonating them.
I also, every time you said nuts, it kind of made me giggle.
So I just wanted to throw that out there.
Yeah, the narrative is just so wide.
I mean, it's about animals.
It's about nuts. And it's fun for young and old. And we come to find out that even Johnny Cash has a song about nuts. So yeah, we do these music spaces, and that's where you really get to know people and also find out about these strange songs that's been made about nuts.
So, yeah, it's funny at its own.
And I think we're on the right way.
We have an incredible team.
I have incredible people with me because you can't do it on your own.
But these guys have been showing up for the last seven
months every single day so um yeah they motivate me every day to um to keep coming back and uh
give it my all so big shout out to my team and um yeah man i mean just just check us out check
our content out and if you like it join join the TG. It's always fun.
We have a little game out.
So lots of good stuff coming, man.
Everybody loves the nut I'm sorry
I don't know where he's going with this
if nobody mints this I don't know why he's going with this If nobody mints this, I don't know why
This has everything you want
The whole world loves a weirdo
You guys are giving me content
I have the macadamia nuts
Would that make you more content?
Okay, that's enough of that nuts song.
Cat's laugh is the best one I've heard since weeks.
By the way, Tima, I promise you, I can only send you tomorrow because we locked him for 24 hours.
But you have a silver nut number 261.
That was your gift from two weeks ago.
So you'll see it pop up in your wallet tomorrow.
up at the top. Check them out.
Don't go to the fake account.
Give them some awareness on that.
And it says an hour left,
but I think the whitelist mint starts in like a minute.
I'm excited to see how it goes.
The public mint is in two minutes.
And I'm trying to – I see Rob down there i see quack live crow uh we're gonna rotate you guys through when some people uh get bored up
here and they want to drop off but i think everyone up here could stay up here and show
i think it's uh it's a good space it's a good leaderboard we got right now who have we not
spoken to though i don't think we've spoken to Dead Ducks Collective yet.
Getting ready for NFT NYC.
So I work through the weekend.
My flight is at 5 in the morning tomorrow.
And so been a long three days trying to get work done because I'm not going to get any work done this week.
So just having fun, getting ready for that.
Molly has a party and she's in New York and she's an in-real-life artist.
She obviously likes Web3 as well.
So I'm going to just tag you in our post real quick.
But yeah, man, I know you're an artist as well
and we love to like feature artists give artists a little more spotlight so do you want to talk
about a little bit what you're doing i know you're probably super busy and with the travels
coming up with new york but uh yeah we'd love to hear a little bit about it yeah i actually wasn't
planning on coming up i know i just spoke in your space last week. And so I'm not one to try to
constantly try to steal the stage. But you guys were talking about the chain, as far as NFT
chains. And I just wanted to chime in. I just think it's an interesting conversation because
there's so many choices now. And things like LaunchMyNFT and other platforms
have made it so easy versus how it was years ago,
trying to get your NFTs launched.
And so I went down this rabbit hole
of looking at all the different chains,
Ape Chain, I'm going to be on XRP,
what chain are we going to do?
And I think it's an interesting conversation. There's
a couple of things to take into consideration. One, money can be made on any of these chains,
and there's liquidity in all of these chains. To me, it's kind of like, I was thinking like,
where do you like launching a business where do
you want to launch a business uh you're gonna have to look at what your market is look if there's any
been successful builders with the same model uh in that chain and your um is it something a model
you can follow uh are you making it up as you go or are you following a model i think a lot of these
projects are really good but what's interesting is you start looking at some of these things like the Launch My NFT, you start going through their archives,
and there's some really good projects that launched, and somebody did a lot of art,
they spent a lot of time and spaces talking to their project, but the project died. And that's
obviously the fear for any of these projects, like Why did this one die that did all the same things right versus this one that succeeded?
I think there's a lot of strategies that have to come into play when you're trying to select your audience.
You're trying to select who you're marketing towards.
I think it's a big decision to decide on what right chain you're going to select.
In the end, I ended up going with Ethereum.
And just for me, it was just about the liquidity and the legacy that's in Ethereum.
I feel like it's where there's been a lot of long-term bills, blue chip collectors.
It feels like it has a lot of cultural weight as far as having the punks and apes and penguins that were there on Ethereum.
And I just really felt like that's where I wanted to be.
So it's almost like building like you either build in a good neighborhood or an up and coming neighborhood.
I wanted to build in Manhattan or I wanted to build in a neighborhood that that had um long-term
investors long-term holders uh a lot of liquidity and then where all the big projects were and that's
why i chose ethereum um i almost went with other other another chain um it's expensive to mint on
ethereum and even though the fees have gone down but i feel like that in itself speaks to a little bit to the dedication
of somebody launching. There are chains that the fees are a little bit cheaper. I don't know.
It's not, I don't think there's one way to success. And I think that a successful NFT
project can happen on any chain. I think you need to figure out what project,
like what you want your project to be.
And then you try to make it that.
So that really is, was it for me,
was just not trying to chase or figure out like,
is this going to be an up and coming neighborhood?
Like are NFTs going to thrive in this ecosystem or on this chain?
Or do I go where I know it's an established
neighborhood? So like I went with Ethereum and that was just my thought. But again, there's a
graveyard of NFT projects that have tried the same thing. I think that's just one piece of the
equation as far as choosing the right chain. Obviously, then it's dev and then it's community
and then it's utility. And then there's just so much that actually can contribute to what's
going to make that successful. But that was my only thing was just jumping in. And I love these
conversations as far as figuring out what's going to work best for your project.
as far as like figuring out what's going to work best for your project.
Yeah. And that's, that's like the, the key word is your project, what you're building, like
what's like legacy do you want to leave? You know, what kind of business do you want to build?
What kind of community are you trying to build? So those are all questions you should probably
ask yourself right especially
being a founder but yeah man thank you thanks for coming up hanging out i definitely tagged you in
that that molly's little meetup so i'm gonna tag anyone that says they're going to nftnyc
and molly's little meetup i don't know why i'm calling it little it's it's just molly's meetup
sorry but uh yeah i start picking out my language and i say
i say i don't know a lot but i fucking do know i say it when i when i like i'll know the shit and
i'll be like i'll say like a straight fact and then i'll be like i don't know i'm like why the
fuck do i say that i just said a straight fact and i just say i don't know after it just like
negates everything i just said like i gotta fix language here, but I'm doing my best guys.
It's every day, you know, it's the battle with the man in the mirror.
Tima is the winner for that, that NFT Corey.
So if you want to, you want to hit up her, hit her up in the DM.
She's the winner. It's the winner is the last
comment that i saw i'm pretty sure she has a cat too so i was like oh this is good we'll just give
it to tima well she's trying to get more into nfts i'm trying to get her more into nfts she does a
lot of live trading and she's on like a different part of the market so we're trying to onboard
tima more into nfts so definitely i think you should hook her up and uh yeah yeah go ahead and
go ahead and send i just dm'd you and go ahead and send me your solana address and we'll get it
sent over to you right now welcome because when you when someone excuse me when someone buys one
and posts it we say welcome to the straberhood so welcome to the strarayberhood. Thank you. I appreciate it.
I'm going to send you a DM now.
It's a great time to be getting into NFTs, Tima,
because the price on most of the projects is very low
compared to historical averages.
So when communities like Corey's offer you a way in for free, it's a great
way to become more knowledgeable about the space.
Jake, what's up, man? How you doing? I haven't seen in a while. How's everything?
Dude, I'm chilling. I'm just low-key lurking in here. I got my coffee. I got my bud. I'm chilling. I'm just low-key lurking in here. I got my coffee. I got my bud.
I'm just chilling on NFT Monday.
I saw some folks in here that I really like and consider in my circle, including you.
So I figured I'd drop by and hang out for a bit.
I hope you're doing good.
I'm doing better than ever.
The only thing that could be the best is if i had a fight in like
two weeks but i don't i have no fight for a little bit so that's my only thing that's my
only quandary with the world right now you feel like there's way bigger problems what do you feel
like you're just like floating waiting for the next fight you're just like kind of like sitting
in midair yeah exactly it's but i'm just getting some good training in and trying to improve
and doing a lot of crypto stuff in the background got some stuff i'm building so yeah yeah doing
these nft mondays we do a we did a good thursday nft space focused on web3 gaming and sports i
think that's gonna be a big part of the the
next bull run is a lot of gaming projects coming up with different things so yeah i'm trying to
get a little more tapped out in the gaming not tapped out i mean tapped in tapped out fucking
a getting a little more tapped into the gaming ecosystem and everything they're doing so uh
yeah i've been doing that as well but yeah i was doing
the meme coin mondays for a little bit when meme coins were hot but man meme coins just like ah
they just freaking they just put me through the ringer to be honest so i'm happy to be
focused more on nfts and nft communities and building things on chain and even art art and
artists coming up here talking building on things that
you know we just want to support and there's nothing that we can gain back but support
so that's what i'm kind of trying to bring it back to i do like swee a lot i've been doing
swee spaces swee network and so we're going to do some more about them and probably some more xrp spaces too
but those are like different like bigger coins that i'm into but yeah man everything's been
going good joshaka with gcoy up here he's been sponsoring a lot of these big spaces and you know
we have some big stuff coming back with them and what gcoy is going to bring i know they're going
to have some games so we're kind of tapping into all the things that we already are doing with G-Coy
and already love, which is art, gaming, and NFTs.
So we're going to bring all those together.
And, yeah, that's what we're doing.
Been just kind of, like, vibing in here and listening to some great projects.
So it's good to catch up with you and good to see some familiar faces.
I'm just going to chill out and drink my coffee.
Yeah, man. Sounds good. Chill. Hang out.
Let's talk to the Blades of Destiny.
What's up? What's up? Good morning.
Hey, how's it going uh happy monday everyone
it's always a good uh enjoy listening to your guys in space on mondays it's kind of a good way to start my work week when i'm working remote here uh but yeah just thanks for having me up um
yeah i guess the the whole deal with blades of Destiny is kind of like NFT collection launching in actually three days, June 26th on OpenSea.
Just kind of like a fun passion project.
A little backstory is like, I'm a game artist, and so I really enjoy doing like pixel art and stuff like that.
And so I was like, and i've been in the crypto space for
quite a while i was like why don't i try just making a fun nft project that's pixel art related
and so it's basically all about like these cool enchanted blades uh kind of like this place called the crystal kingdom you know um and so i've been doing a lot
of backstory and lore and uh world building with the collection.
And yeah, it's supposed to be kind of a really fun thing.
Got a website, a reveal trailer.
Yeah, it's been pretty fun, like animating the whole collection by hand. And it's been a pretty good experience so far.
What's the total number in the collection?
Yeah, I put 9 9,000 which is
probably like a higher number but I might do like future stuff with the
collection like I might do a game in the future where made for steam or
something like that so if someone has the NFP they will be able to unlock some
extra downloadable content or
if I'm able to get that far.
Make sure to hide a number, so
feature in a future game or something like that.
NFT will be able to have that kind of
rather under-promised and over-delivered and over delivered so kind of see how things go
so 9 000 hand drawn yeah well i use the um you guys ever heard of a hashlets engine
yeah i've used hash slips a number of times with different clients nice yes i do a forked version of that which lets me do
animation so yeah i hand drew and animated uh like every single thing and every card is animated the
backgrounds and everything and some of the swords rarities have animations and stuff so no matter
what nft in the collection you, there will be animations to it.
And so, yeah, each card has, like, descriptions that kind of help explain, like, the lore of the world.
Yeah, a lot of different rarities and stuff like that.
So, definitely took me a long time.
I think I worked on it off and on for...
Since the last bull run, so it was probably two years I've been working on it.
Yeah. Well, a lot of it, too,
I hand-drew and animated the website,
hand-drew animated the reveal trailer,
and then, you know, there's, like, a lot of workarounds, you know, like,
sometimes I'll be working on the collection,
I didn't like it, so I'd scrap it and start over and
make a better version of it,
and so there's a lot of of like trial and error and all the kind of stuff that goes into making something
polished a lot of it really felt like how it does when I make like video games for work so I had a
lot of the same vibe of just like uh making small like prototyping and concept art and all that kind
of stuff so yeah it was super fun and really good experience for the for this collection that i've
had it gave me a good reason to just make a whole bunch of fun pixel art you know
yeah do you want to post up anything up to the top so we could check it out a little? Yeah, I can post something, sure.
Yeah, I can post and then, you know, I don't want to pick up too much of everyone's time if someone else wants to be up here, but I can always just post it.
Everyone can post and kind of show what they got.
And then when we run the big giveaway at the end, I'm going to clear all the posts except the giveaway post, like the big giveaway that we're going to do at the end i'm going to clear all the posts except the giveaway post like the
big giveaway that we're going to do at the end it's in a kid called beast really cool project
i've been involved with a long time and we were supposed to get raspy up here but i don't know
he might be busy so we're going to still do the space a little longer so but yeah i just wanted
to kind of give that reminder but uh yeah go ahead post up something up to the top let us check it out okay cool yeah yeah i mean i'll post the reveal trailer it'll
have like the uh the reveal trailer like all the actions you know all that kind of stuff about the
world and then in the end it'll show the nfts so i'll post it there like 50 seconds long or
something but uh yeah no i like the lore you're doing the not the aesthetics of your pfp i like that as
well it looks pretty cool if the art is similar to that i'm definitely uh keen to check it out
yeah definitely definitely yeah if this one depending how this one does i do want to make
one that's like this one's all about the enchanted blades and the whole world about why everyone
wants everyone in the kingdom wants these blades right uh but i definitely want to do like a pfp version about like the people in the kingdom um and i'm also working
on a physical card game as well um also based in the same universe um so like post you know
different cards to attack each other and stuff almost like a pixel art version of like if Uno met Sari and that met and meets
like magic cards or something
like that you know it's a whole bunch of crazy
game rules and everyone tries to get
in the game of the physical card game
anyway a lot of crazy stuff going on
just having a lot of fun prototyping but yeah I'll post it
and yeah thanks for letting me
up here it's always great to hear everyone talk about their cool projects and definitely love this space
oh man thanks thanks for coming up and hanging out definitely post it up to the top we want to
check it out and awesome yeah i just want to say hi to vibes real quick i know we brought her up
yo yo what's up vibesibes? How you doing?
Hello, hello, hello. Happy Monday. How is everyone?
So what, you're all up to?
I think everyone's doing great. I'm going to speak for everyone.
We've had good space so far.
Yeah, what about you? What's's going on what do we need to know
I'm into AI art I've just been doing
this for a week and oh my god I've got
I've got my videos to speak now
and I'm having the best time
to see any of my creations
check my timeline out I have good versions and then sometimes
it comes out as a complete mishap which is just as funny
I should dip my toes into developing stuff
for shits and giggles and it's working
I get by randomly and I'll be on Instagram
and then I'll see all these like AI videos of like
all these things and it's mostly like nuclear weapons and like World War III shit and I'm like
god damn it and I get stuck in this like AI rabbit hole of like what if this could happen if this
and then I started researching all these missiles like all these fucking different types of nukes and missiles and like how many planes America has versus everyone else. And I just went
deep into it. And then I thought I saw like this crazy explosion and it was all AI. It was all AI.
And then I was just like, what? So I don't even know what to believe anymore. To be honest,
I wasted like two hours of
my life the other day it was like early in the morning and i was like what am i doing why am i
looking at i've got to say mine are not on that at all they're not about blowing things up they're
completely different they're much more um enjoyable they're food related and other things related
they're just more sensual it's much more enjoyable than blowing things up. If you're going to blow things up, go outside, blow them up, kaboom.
But no, it's just creating things that people might enjoy.
All right, Melina, back to you.
No, my screen was actually freezing up no actually i was gonna say like
vibes are you a real person like i know this is weird but like we were just talking about this
how like all these ai people are creating twitter accounts and now i can't i can't tell anymore
keith i can't tell she sounds real no i'm a bot so that you know I'm a bot call. I'm here to help you.
That's what a bot would say.
It's funny because Vibes is saying she's really into this AI art.
I work with so many of these founders who hate AI art because they feel like it's not coming from a real person.
I don't even know why they don't like it.
But I don't know, Vibes, what do you say?
What's getting you into this AI art, this aspect of AI art?
I'm a writer. So I write poetry and i write novels and it's just for my own enjoyment um but i'm a very creative person
and i live in creative worlds in my imagination if life gets too much i go i might have here i'm
going somewhere else it's much more fun so to be able to create something and bring what i see in
always working I have to say AI me have had words and swearing at AI does not help um but to bring
something that I can visualize in my head and it's down to the prompts and if you get the prompts
right you can go oh my god that's actually nearly what I had in my head so it's all down to the
prompts and how you can utilize this tool to the best of your advantage and sometimes it's like hey
let's just throw this shit together and see what happens and go oh that yeah that worked
no no that did not work that whoa that did not work at all so you just never know and it's
unexpectedness of it and it's also it's like the more you do it and I was really against it can I
just say I was like no no no but the more I've got into it the more I'm going what more can I explore what more can I
create if the only limit is your imagination then where exactly can you go and it's helping me in
other areas of my creativity no I love that so much vibes I think what also helps is your accent
are you Scottish or like what where are you where I was gonna say calling in from where are we Keith
hello callers exactly where are you calling in from today well I'm say calling in from. Where are we, Keith? Hello, callers.
Where are you calling in from today?
Well, I'm actually calling in from Ireland.
No, we're going in Irish.
I love this accent so much.
And truthfully, you don't sound like a bot.
Because a bot would have taken time to answer
and probably would have been like you know girl dash dash yeah no i i believe i'm real every time
i look in the mirror i go yes am i real yeah as far as i know i'm real but then it's all about
humanity isn't it funny to have like these thoughts like we started the space i think
it's talking about this because it's been
all over the timeline and I mean we know like it's very easy for anyone to just create an account and
pretend to be a woman but it's another it's another when um you actually you know you actually
think you're talking to a real person and ends up not being anyway um no vibes just happy to have
you here and I love what you said there because I'm totally a creative person myself. And what I have found that's helped me with AI, like even like having my own chat GPT at this point, is just being able to do things in a way that feels authentic, authentic to yourself, because then you could kind of like train your bot to think like you to.
You could kind of like train your bot to think like you to.
And so this is what I'm enjoying about this whole process, because I think like maybe four or five years ago, I probably would have felt this need today to like hire an intern, hire someone and like, hey, think like me.
But, you know, people can't actually think like me.
So I love what you said that you're a writer.
And to then to see those images come to life using AI, like that is so nice. And it's such a nice way to look at AI because I can't tell you how many people around me are like terrified of it. But I just think at this point, you're better off learning how to use it for what you are able or what you want to do than feeling left behind when everyone's going to be like, oh, we're on this next iteration of what ai can do so yeah
good on you the genie is out of the bottle we can't put it back in so it's how do you utilize
this the best ability and work around what you want and how you can envisage using it um with
how i do it for my videos i write it as a script and then you realize that well you're going to
have to tighten up the prompts and because i want to get three videos a day that I can make and this it's like oh I want to make
more and okay we're on the nutty step time out and then you go okay how can I do this differently
what would I improve what would I change and then that's helping me progress further because it's
only been just over a week that I've started and I'm having so much fun and I didn't think I would be but yeah what are you using for
the videos I'm using um google's gemini it's fantastic yeah it's really are you paying for
gemini or I am paying for it it's not much but I'm paying for it so I just like to try and see
what I can do because if you don't explore you'll never learn and there are
free apps that you can use and utilize and there's different ones out there so find out what works
for you try the free ones and then once you find something that you like then go with that don't
tie yourself into anything don't stress I think the biggest thing for me and it's always been in
my life have fun so if you can have fun doing something then you will stick with it longer and
And, you know, I don't care. I'm really proud of what I've achieved.
It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. I like it. I'm proud of myself.
And that's all that matters.
I love that. No, good for you, girl.
Yeah, I like Gemini. I'm still on the Chad GPT route, but I, you know know I do appreciate Gemini a lot I think it's a really good
um they're they're pretty much up there in my top three I haven't paid for it though but
you're making me want to because I kind of want to see that the types of videos I could create
um wow this is fun Keith from NFTs we're talking about AI I love. So can I pose a question? I have a question for you. Would you
go down the route of having an AI girlfriend or boyfriend? I don't know about girlfriend,
boyfriend, but I did want to take my face and turn it into an AI. Like if an AI can start
doing the types of videos that I do, educational videos that's sort of what I'm looking
into right now um I don't know about a girlfriend or a boyfriend I do know of like I have friends
who are speaking to GPTs um like as a therapist so that's kind of interesting that they're you
know I it would have never been my first thought I don't know about you keith i don't really write my feelings to ai i don't think it's a good idea i don't i think it's uh i don't think it's a good idea honestly
i don't think it's good for people to kind of get attached to technology like that especially
emotionally i say it because i actually had a friend that he he had like, too. And he was just talking to this basically AI type of girlfriend,
and it has an avatar, and it was a sexy avatar.
And he was doing it all the time, and it was with some game.
It was associated with a game, an anime game.
And it's just like, it is actually a lot.
Some people really get into it.
I don't know if you've seen that movie Her,
I haven't, but I want to see it.
I think I only end up working out after three minutes,
Yeah, it's super weird with... It's super weird.
Just check it out just so just so you know just so
you know that's why i was asking you because like when i heard my friend saying oh like i'm um
i'm speaking to ai i told him about how i felt today i was like oh i don't know like i don't
know if i'd be so i've like i also i've also had friends and maybe you know uh keith her name is
kayla and she was like working for squid girl for a while, doing a lot of this research.
And she was also telling me how young parents are inputting data of their kids.
Like, oh, my kid, eight years old, is feeling this, this, this.
And the scary thought, and I'm sorry that we had to bring it to this point, vibes.
I'm kind of killing the vibes at this point,
but the scary part of like AI learning about your kid and,
and eventually maybe doing like duplicates is what she was studying there at
Squid Grow. So it was like,
so interesting when I was like reading up on her, on her research,
I was like, Oh shit. Like I'm already so docks.
Like Keith is as well. like we post pictures of ourselves like
and just last week when I was hacked these hackers took my pictures and we're trying to
launch tokens right so like it's so um it's so scary that I feel like I wouldn't want to like
talk to AI on that level kind of feed it more info than it already has of myself
uh but yeah I want to bring it back to you, Vibes.
What do you think? I have a friend that uses an app for therapy, and I have to say from her point
of view, she's found it very beneficial. From my point of view, I think, well, if they're taking
over the world, why give them more information than they need? I'm very circumspect with what
I share, but I do like the creative side of it and going around that. But going back
to the girlfriend-boyfriend thing, I think, why can it be a surprise people get attached when
people actually marry roller coasters and inanimate objects and get very close to
items like that, whereas actually AI, you could interact with it more and have a deeper
relationship, I suppose. But yeah, a lot to think about.
and you've never been with the
real thing i mean come on that's just crazy so things need to be rethought but i think ai could
be used as a great tool just like vibes is saying like as a creativity tool as even just to make
things easier for yourself and certain coding certain situations ai could be streamlined and used like so efficiently and just
better your life in general but it's like with anything there's always like another side to it
so yeah just like pick and choose but i don't i don't have an ai girlfriend i have a real girlfriend
and she's not ai and ai girlfriends they just talk to you a lot like if i girlfriend, I usually was like, can we just not talk that much and just hang out?
So, like, I think the AI girlfriend would be wrong for me.
Because the AI girlfriend just talks way too much.
And I can't, like, do anything about it.
Just have to listen to this AI girlfriend talk to me.
Anyways, we're moving along. I'm just talking shit. So, anyways, we're moving along
I'm just talking shit. So don't take me serious. No one please. I don't even know what I'm saying half the time
I'm stoned. Okay, I just blame it on the weed
I'm so stoned. What do I even say?
Do you want to start giving out this NFT kit? I don't know. I don't know where you're at in this space. Yeah
Yes, I do I left I left you guys alone for five minutes I don't know. I don't know where you are in this space. Yeah.
Yes, I do. I left I left you guys alone for five minutes. You guys noticed.
Yeah, I know. This whole conversation is taken over by AI.
I want to check in with OG Peanut
because they just started minting
while they're on our base. I think that's pretty exciting.
in a long time. I just want to see
anyone in this space minted some.
I'm going to mint some. I want to support
this community and what they're doing.
They're coming from meme coins, NFTs,
kind of really getting more involved with the NFT ecosystem
So definitely give him a follow and see what he's cooking,
But yeah, let's hear from him real quick and see how the mint's going.
And then I'll play a song and I'll clean up the Jumbotron
and I'll put up our main giveaway.
We'll give away that a kid called beast,
really cool NFT collection.
I've been involved with a long time.
I really love featuring them.
I think you should hold onto it,
Get something free on a space.
And then a couple months,
if you want to flip it or maybe you buy it you get involved and that's your favorite community ever
you never know but okay oh gee what's up what's up how you doing
i'm good man i'm good uh mint's going well i've seen some uh some diamond ones coming by
um yeah there's there's silver gold and diamond and they will have different gradations of
the Bigfoot family and you're familiar
with the story of the acorns
that would definitely pay because
others and what they've done is absolutely, well, I would say they're pioneers.
So, yeah, learn from them and implement our own ideas and follow a little bit that trajectory.
So, look, these NFTs will be a big role in the future.
Of course, we're going to have PFPs.
And next week, we'll drop the PFPs.
And this act as mint passes for the PFPs.
So you have a discount as the first utility already.
Like I said, we bought a game out which is
to make some money playing the game.
So we really want to create an ecosystem.
It's not just mint passes, but really make an ecosystem with the NFTs and with the meme coin combined.
We are in control of the tokens.
So there's no one dumping on your head and that kind of stuff.
We've all been through it.
Just to give you a little bit of a backstory, we went all the way from 40 million market cap back to 170K.
And we never stopped having fun.
Making the memes, and especially when i got got to know
you uh keith it's it's nice to have a to put a ufc fighter in a bunny suit is just yeah that kind
of stuff that i think that's what meme going should be about so um having fun but also have
a very serious and and well thought out plan um We're adapting every day and the plans change and grow every day.
So definitely check us out.
And these nuts, I can't tell you enough, but these are going to be very valuable in the future.
Can I ask, do you have a dragon in your collection?
asked you have a dragon in your collection
well maybe if you make one of
always bringing the vibes
we're trying to reach the younger generation
there's some very catchy songs and,
and videos we're working on.
And I think that would be incredible to see.
I think it's incredible to,
life content from families dancing on the song with their kids because
there are some songs out there apart from Johnny Cash
there's another one called I'm a Nut
anyone who has kids please play that
song and tell me that your kids are going to
sit still then I'm not going to believe you
around, man. Do your research, of course,
All right, Melina. I i'm gonna pick a winner for this the kid called beast but i want to play actually this is ai is good to use for motivation i actually use it i found like all
these random ai videos that people have used and made and uh this is a good one i'll just randomly play this
for the amount of time it takes me to pick this winner but i'm gonna clear the jumbotron real
quick we could re-put up some stuff by og peanut and some people but i just want to have the one
giveaway up at the top so everyone if i pick somebody i don't want to pick them and then
have to re-pick because you didn't follow the directions. So let me just
Clear I was gonna say to keep do you think I could bring?
A friend of mine up. She's actually
Minting a collection today. I told her to come up and try to speak to as you're doing that. Yeah, of course
Let's try to get the meta Betty's up on stage
I may have to remove someone. Oh, I don't want to do that.
Thank you for being here.
Okay, Tima. thank you so much. I'm going to bring up my
Meta Betty's. Keith, if you haven't seen
what they're doing, you're in
for a treat with these ladies.
Let's see. Let's see. I don't know how
to go. Okay, let me try to get...
Okay, we're doing a little cleanup as Keith...
All right, I think we're getting them brought up right now.
Hey, GM girl, how are you?
I'm so glad I didn't have to have someone kicked off
because that would be such a bad way to enter a room.
Yeah, obviously, you know, I'm co-hosting with Key today,
So obviously it was like, oh my God,
I got to get my girl in here who's like actually minting out today.
Why don't you give us a little TLDR
of what MetaBetty's is, are
and what you guys are minting today.
But first of all, thank you so much for the support.
You have been like such a real, real friend.
I just want to say like real friend,
you know, supporting me and even IRL as well, just seeing you at the conferences and stuff.
It's like I consider you one of the coolest people that I've met so far.
So thank you for showing me that like community really does exist.
And it's not just a word we throw around.
So we are an all women's crypto art collective.
We're based in New York City.
I blend digital and performance art on-chain and IRL.
The term I like to use is that, you know, I'm like the market's first crypto native
performance art storytelling collectible.
Just because I tie the performances that I do and the conceptual short films that I make back to the on-chain
metadata of the digital collectible. So really trying to make a new form of crypto art. I think
it's really important to bridge digital and physical art so that, you know, artists can know
that it's possible and crypto and web3 is a way to fund and preserve your art and keep going in the space.
And it's just been an amazing experience.
And yeah, now we're at Mint Day, which is pretty freaking crazy.
So I guess I'll just say a few things about the Mint.
We've got a few hours left on the whitelist.
So, you know, if you want to go over there.
Like, so super approachable, I think.
Can I say what you get when you get the NFT?
I feel like you need to kind of give the people here.
Because what you do, too, is like live performance, right?
So, like, we've been talking to a lot of NFT projects today, you know, they're,
they're minting their NFTs, but you like literally go out IRL and do performances. So yeah, tell us
about what you do. And then yeah, what what people are going to get with the NFT.
Okay, awesome. Yes. Yeah. So the live performances is really, you know, I have a group of eight women.
We're all performance artists individually. We come together.
We make these concepts that use physical traits or props, as you will.
And we really just speak on like current events or reoccurring themes that we see happening.
The intention is to bring everybody in the room or everybody that's watching, you know, into like a united front.
To bring things to the conversation through art, I think, is such an easier approach than if we were just going to like sit down face to face and have a full on battle.
So it's meant to have a conversation, but not exclude anyone. Right. And the art speaks for itself.
So we put on performance art pieces in our home base in New York.
We have a gallery in the World Trade Center.
We also travel to all the major crypto events
And so we've definitely like made a name
We try to show what performance art is all about, which is really just making a statement.
Even though all of my dancers are, all of my women are professional dancers, the performance art is really what we're passionate about putting on chain.
So the collectible, the NFT, you know, it grants you access to this tokenized app that we have built.
I call it a tokenized theater app where we release conceptual short films once a week.
We're guaranteeing a video every week for an entire year.
So we have about 52 concept videos filmed.
So you'll be able to receive those every week.
And the coolest part about this is
that, yeah, we have a base in New York. And yes, if you see the IRL shows, you know, you get to
see firsthand if you hold an NFT with the same traits that we're using. But that also applies
to our tokenized theater. So you'll see these conceptual short films, you'll see the traits
that we use. And if by chance you hold the same traits, you're rewarded with our community currency, with XP, with rewards. And our rewards aren't
just digital, they're also physical as well. So spent a lot of time, like a few years building
out this concept and really showcasing how IRL is so important still to digital art and how we can make this crazy dual world and it has just been such a trip
so to see so many people supporting the project to have it live now it's just an amazing day like
I've had three venti coffees so far so
I love that I love that so much um no I'm really excited it's it's such a shame because Keith and
I were actually both not coming to New York this time I made which makes me so sad but
um obviously I'm I'm following you here um on the timeline and supporting of course um
no and I think it's really interesting too because like you said right you're you're actually going
out into into these conferences and doing all these live performances.
You've got like eight girls with you all looking hotter one, one to the next.
Like, I don't know, like you have to see them.
You have to see them like when they're out and about, like,
whoo, they were just in Lisbon too.
I was like, why am I not part of these men of Bettys?
I know I want to, I need those shorts, girl. I need those short shorts.
Yeah. I think the shorts will be a trademark. I can definitely see those licensed out because
every woman that comes to the space and actually a lot of men, I don't know if they're fucking
around with me or not, but they're like, where can I get these shorts? Like I want to wear them.
And the girls also are like, I would totally do this. But what my passion would be is if I saw all the women in Web3 supporting the brand that way, not necessarily with the shorts.
But, you know, from the beginning, I've been onboarding performance artists and women that had no idea about crypto, no idea about Web3, bringing them on, getting them wallets, showing them like what it's capable of through our own performances, event tokens. So it's been awesome to see, you know, them like learn.
Oh, you're still there. You're still there. You're here.
So the shorts are yours and anytime you want to perform like come on up girl oh my god
we need to do like keith i don't know what do you think like it should be like a video we should do
like a behind the scenes of where the bettys train me on how to do the dance like i would be so down
for this type of content i don't know i'm just putting it out there i'm like i'm adding myself
to the myths no i love it i just had one Meta Betty finish the She-Fi season.
And I'm just so proud to see like, you know, the crazy adaption.
And so like, this would be a full circle moment if you came on.
So I'm holding you to this.
No, I'm like, you know what?
This would like amplify all the, like, I'm seeing a lot of women now taking like pole
dancing classes and just trying to be more confident and sexy and like I just feel like
you girls embrace all of that and more um and I feel like we we all just need more of that you
know what I mean that's what we need I know I was nervous to bring a collection like this where you
know I do consider myself a PFP but of course she's full form and I'm bringing back this image of the pinup girl and what you said is exactly my intention, like let's use blockchain to show that women can confidently promote their sexuality and promote the way that they want to move through the world. You know, because so often we see us on billboards and ads,
and you don't know, it doesn't really look like,
consensual is not the best word,
but we don't know if those women are getting royalties off of every ad.
We don't know all the backstory, but with MetaBetties,
we know that each woman has contracted,
like, their individual commitment to the project,
and we're all very collaborative on what we say and what we do and how we do it.
So it's a very like progressive project in the way that we show physicality,
both in real life and on chain.
I want to know where Keith is at.
Did you want to pin something up to the top?
what you were doing, Keith, because I know we were going
into the... I commented. I liked all
her stuff on her profile. I was fucking
trying to be a reply guy.
An engagement whore. I was just over there
liking all her shit. I even said
GM to her. But isn't it awesome?
and whatnot and like i love her but like everything that they're doing is just so i haven't seen this
at all keith in the space so that's why i'm like it makes me even more bullish you know i've never
seen like immersive um irl events um and now doing this and to support them like they've got
you know like she said a a studio in New York.
It's such a shame that we won't be there,
but like, it's just so cool.
Yeah, last night, I mean, thank you.
Last night was our first or last performance
that was, you know, open to the public.
Like after post-launch, we do NYC activations.
And then after that, our performances are also token gated.
So the, like the symbolism of last night being the night before the men's NYC activations and then after that our performances are also token gated so the like
the symbolism of last night being the night before the mint and just seeing the performers like
one last time we had 15 traits in our performance um and it was just emotional like and I don't
think we bring emotion a lot to the to the blockchain but like it was just very emotional
to see the last performance and I'm
really excited to see what comes next like you know after a mint right because you focus so much
on the mint it's like now we get to actually live out the ride and I get to drop the videos weekly
and I get to like actually make sure everyone's a holder in the room and it's like this is what
you work so hard towards so thank you for like the compliments and just believing in the project because it's
Happy, happy to have you even come up on stage today.
This is like such perfect timing that you're launching and we're doing this.
You know, Keith is hosting this NFT space.
So yeah, no, awesome. I know we're also, Keith, we're going this uh you know keith is hosting this nft space so yeah no awesome i
know we're also uh keith we're gonna be giving out i know joshaka was just telling me in the dms
uh something about he's giving 50 away too what's that about i don't know i haven't checked my dms
oh damn check your dms because he's going nuts about the cause they did their first reveal or whatnot.
I left that tweet up at the top.
Yeah, it's still up there.
I thought he was going somewhere.
I think he's somewhere, but yeah, yeah.
He doesn't turn it off, Keith.
I actually love that about him.
He's a grinder. This guy, for real it off, Keith. I know. I actually love that about him. He's a grinder.
Okay, well, he's probably trying to give out $50 to anyone that mints here live on the space.
The cause, I understand, yeah.
Yeah, but he has no affiliation with them.
He's literally just trying to give you a win.
Because he wants people to celebrate when they, you know,
when he gives you onto this win.
And then next week he's like, see, you look, it tripled, brother.
I don't even know how to do his voice.
Yeah, I'm trying to also understand what he was trying to write to me.
I was like, I have no idea
Yeah, he wants everyone to win.
That's what's good about him. He's just a real one, you know.
feel for him when he's like, oh, those apes are
Yeah, but he has to give it a little more time, too.
Totally. Totally. Yeah, it's all good.
He's doing the right thing
i i like his his opinions i like that we don't all agree on everything it's good to have you know
conflicting opinions with different people and then you get a different perspective and then
you know i i see his point and uh i think he sees my point as well so it's all good we're just gonna
work through it and he has a very good eye for nft
collections nft communities and and new stuff coming out especially the last four or five
months he's really like not only the moon birds he did a he's done like like i want to say like 10
different projects yeah he mentioned yeah that have really like gone up a lot and done well
so he's been he's been. So he's been on it.
So it's not that easy for everyone, though.
It's hard to find all those gems.
I didn't want to overtake the space,
because I know we're coming up on that hour.
I'm going to have to dip in a big,
because I've actually got a meeting.
This guy's making me work.
You know what I mean, Keith?
He's got to be working hard.
So you let me know if you want to give away that NFT.
Anyways, I'm here until the end, of course.
Yeah, we're giving away that Kid Called Beast.
So if you're winning a Kid Called Beast, you have to be here in the space.
Follow GQR, follow Girl in the Verse, and follow Jashaka.
RT, this tweet, it's the first tweet up here.
I'll repin it up to the top.
So, I just repinned it up.
So, we'll give people like five minutes.
So, if you're here in the space and you haven't engaged with that tweet,
we're going to pick a winner in the like five minutes. So if you're here in the space and you haven't engaged with that tweet, we're going to pick a winner in the next five minutes.
So, Melina, here's my favorite motivational video with a girl AI voice dubbed over it.
And parts, some of the key words were taken from this video, put into the AI.
And then she just talks over the video the whole
time but it's like it's actually really motivating so i could see where ai would really come in handy
so i feel like this is like good for you in the morning if you're like getting up and you're like
just want to hype yourself up but i've just found this and i saw the guy that was making all these
the ai so basically he dubs the ai over
his favorite motivational videos like working out and running and all this stuff but it's a girl's
voice i think we've been very uh pro women here today and it's been a great we've had a lot of
women come up and projects and just everyone's coming up here to speak so it's been awesome
and uh you don't see that in a lot of spaces.
I love that we're kind of like, you know, giving everyone a shot and letting everyone talk.
And yeah, so let me play this.
And then we will pick a winner for this.
And then we'll say our goodbyes to everyone.
I've told him a thousand times
every single day he wakes up
with one goal, get better
when he doesn't see progress it eats at him Just to understand it. Just to break it down. Just to beat it.
When he doesn't see progress, it eats at him.
Not because he doubts himself, but because he demands more.
He doesn't care about average things. He doesn't care what they say about him.
Not their opinions. Not the party this weekend.
He wants only one thing. to become better, and better,
and better. He is a grinder, not just a man, a machine, a force, a grinder, like the device that reduces solid stone into dust. That's what he does with goals. He breaks them down.
with goals he breaks them down he crushes them into small unstoppable actions he makes the
impossible real like a mad scientist in the dark relentless obsessed and that that is why the turns vision into action, ambition into routine, dreams into dust and shape again.
That's why the grinder will never stop.
Big demands that you look stupid first.
You're gonna look like a clown the first time you try anything you want.
You wanna learn a new skill?
You wanna start a new business? You're going to suck. You want to start
a new business? You're going to look stupid. You want to develop discipline? Guess what?
You're going to fail a few times. That's part of the deal. And the people who win are the
ones who accept that cost and keep moving anyway. That guy you see at the gym with the
perfect disease, he didn't know what
he was doing. He didn't know how to eat. He didn't know how to train. He had no idea.
He was just like you. That guy you see driving the car that you want, living the house that

cool thank you oh let's say i've got a hand up real quick
fully what's up fully ported yo what's up guys man this space has been awesome
how you doing i'm doing solid yeah yeah i, yeah. I've been chilling in this space since I think you guys started.
It's been, what, like about an hour?
Well, we've been here since 8, so like three hours now.
We're coming up on three hours.
But yeah, we've been here for a little bit.
Yeah, I appreciate you being here.
I appreciate you bringing me up.
But yeah, you know, my name is Foley.
a really dope project called stupid and this project it was um you know i actually launched
some nfts right now they're still on whitelist um but yeah this project's stupid. You know, we got a, it's a CTO. It's a meme coin base on Solana.
It was launched by this Bitcoin Maxie named Fred Kruger, right?
He totally abandoned the project
and we just started running it up as a community
because we saw the potential and the ticker and all that.
We ended up securing a domain, which is stupid.com.
So, you know, I've been involved in this project for a minute.
And, you know, a little background on myself.
You know, I'm pretty fresh in crypto.
But as a side hustle, I was always a graphic designer for years did a lot of commercial
things and um when i when i found stupid coin i was like man this this community is dope like
we got some good people good vibes i was like but all we're missing is some brand identity
so that's where these characters if you see my character, there's, I think there's a few
other people in here too. Yeah. We got Lamb Chop, Chow, Shido. These are all hand-drawn characters
by myself. And yeah, it was a, it was a PFP collection that we just, we just wanted PFPs,
you know, we just wanted to look like a cult and you know kind of uh put identity to the
ogs that been building this stupid brand um and uh yeah recently we officially um launched but
like i said we're in whitelist waiting to go public um but yeah i'm i'm still fresh in this nft game
i had to learn like basic coding so it's like I'm going from graphic designer to, you know, Web3 building. And it's just been a crazy journey. So hearing these projects that we're speaking is like super bullish for me because it's like, you know, just the lingo, you know, learning new language just by hearing people shill.
Just the lingo, learning new language just by hearing people shill.
But yeah, man, we're currently building.
I've been doing some giveaways.
I'm trying to be patient before I go public with the NFT project itself.
I'm trying to get our OGs to, you know, build a little more hype around their X account.
You know, I see us being, you know, the new wave of KOLs in this X space.
A lot of personality from different countries.
You know, when we host our spaces, it's just very interesting.
We got people from, you know, I'm from Cali.
We got people from Detroit.
And then we got people from, you know, Portugal and Brazil and just random places.
But I had a question, NFC Kid.
What is like the most important thing when you launch an NFT?
I wouldn't say like one thing's the most important thing i would say there has to be like a strategic plan it's like it's like war you know you want to have a plan for war
and the war is against you know maybe other projects or whatever you're trying to promulgate you know so i mean for you
guys specifically it kind of looks like you're a little art kind of djn focused so i would kind of
like market towards that audience maybe more right and uh you said you're on solana yeah solana
yeah yeah on solana and solana yeah obviously there's a lot of dgens on solana i like
solana a lot i was on solana for a bit i hold a lot of solana so uh i'm into it so yeah i think
that would be i'd go on more spaces and you know check out different communities and if you really
like a community invest into them like buy some of their nfts or whatever they're doing right you know invest a
little skin in the game and then i feel like that will do wonders for your community for like
cross-pollination you know just to kind of help you grow within something that's similar to you
if you kind of get what i'm saying no yeah for sure that's the right now we're in cell phase one
and uh you know it's a free mint right now.
Mainly focused on the OGs have been building with us.
Like the OGs have a red background.
You know, everything was I launched it on launch my NFT, but I still used metadata still with the coding, the JSON files or whatever it is.
And so there's still rarities within within the selection but yes I even gave away some through a giveaway recently to you know new new members of the community so
yeah no you're right I'm trying to focus on people that are willing to build and just can see the
vision support me early you know and then scratch my
back scratch your back yeah for sure for sure but thanks for coming up man thanks for hanging
out with us we're gonna close it down we're a little over time uh we've been here for a little
little over three hours so i gotta go work out i haven't worked out today. I got to get this going. But I appreciate everyone being up here.
