Thanks for watching!
Alright, what's up guys? Appreciate y'all for popping into the space. It is 8 41 p.m. Pacific time. I know it's way later than we typically start, but you know, we're here. We're back. Appreciate y'all so much. Hopefully everybody had a good
tea. So go grab your favorite beverage, your favorite snack, and we can dive into it. If you want to come up on stage, click that button in the bottom left hand corner. And yeah, requests will bring some people up here in a couple moments. I do have some initial thoughts and then we can get into it. I'm beyond fucking exhausted today. We were literally filming content all day yesterday. I don't think I got home until like 1 30 in the morning or 2 o
nd then we were filming all day today and doing some cool stuff too. So first and foremost, thank you to everybody who's been supporting probably nothing and everything that we're doing over there with that endeavor. And our last vlog was was cool. But our next vlog is 20 50 100 times better than any of the other content that we've like the other stuff we did was pretty cool. But the one that we have dropping in the next couple of days, hopefully two days max is
in it. To me, it's insane. Honestly, probably the best piece of content we've created. And hopefully you guys enjoy that and like it and the the reception to everything with probably nothing has been, you know, 99% positive. There's always people who are going to hate but you know that it is what it is. But the reception has been incredible. And, you know, I think we are making quite the impact and we'll continue to try to do the right thing and put out good content and truthfully bring a lot of
web two people into web three. I think a big problem with web three content right now and this was kind of the entire thesis when we when we started probably nothing was that I mean, it is so the web three content is very circular. And it really only adheres and services the people that are already in web three. Like it's things that only make sense to people that are in crypto. It's like either super niche, even our Twitter spaces like what
we do like this is like it's super niche and realistically only people who are in crypto would would probably enjoy something like this. And we enjoy because we love crypto and we love this industry and the nuances and the culture and everything that happens day to day. I mean, it's the most exciting industry to be in. But for people that are in web two, it feels so far extended out of their reality that it's hard to consume. It's just not accessible at all. And when you talk to people that are in web two and people that are
like, I use the term web two, like pretty loosely, but just let's say anybody who isn't in the crypto industry living this day to day, you know, they look at crypto related content. And one, they think what could that even be outside of people shilling shit coins or, you know, those YouTube channels that pump things or whatever it might be. But the approach that we're taking with with probably nothing is much more a callback to like early 2010s blog style and lifestyle content and more so the day to day of
being in the trenches and what that actually means from like an individual's perspective. And while I think the content that we've put out so far hasn't been totally reflective of those ideals, I think the next vlog gets much closer to where we're trying to get. So it is going to take some time, some experimentation to figure out the best way to produce the content and distribute it and, you know, just make it exciting, have a story, something that people care about. But we're putting a lot of time and effort
into doing it the right way so that y'all can enjoy it. And yeah, just things like that. And I know, like, some people were looking at it. I don't want to say too much about too much. I mean, y'all will kind of find out as these things go along. But it's not like an NFT or a token or anything like that. It's strictly media, strictly content. And that's the way that we'd like to keep it for the immediate future. That's just what makes most sense to us. It's what's most fun. And when Fred and I
talked about this early on, too, because, you know, that probably nothing thing was, you know, it was in the works for a few months. I'm like, I've been saying on spaces like we're cooking, we're cooking, we're trying to do something, we have something coming, whatever. But the ideology and the ethos behind it was always, we got to the point that we got to in our own personal careers in terms of our platforms and the things that we've done by strictly doing things that we enjoy and things that we have fun with.
And for me, like a big part of that was spaces, like I started spaces because I liked them. I thought it was a very unique and interesting type of content. And I had completely missed the clubhouse social audio wave. So when I discovered Twitter spaces, it was fundamentally different than anything else that I had consumed, considering I was coming from like traditional live streaming or just YouTube or things like that. So I guess, you know, for all intents and purposes, that was kind of the ideal scenario.
It was let's just do things that we have fun. And the things that we have fun with are the things that we do day to day, just living, chopping it up, interacting with crypto and understanding and formulating a way to capture that content was super important. And, you know, we're discovering to do that on a day to day basis. And also just like huge, huge shout out to banks. He's been in. I mean, he just so in. I mean, he's the three way thing here. Just me, threading banks to speak entirely transparent.
And he has been so fundamentally helpful in every possible way that you can imagine from guiding the curation of the content to teaching how to create the content like he's awesome, dude, like seriously, just like a good soul.
And it's a pleasure to work with him. And obviously, how I feel about thread goes without saying so anyway, I'll leave it at that in terms of probably nothing.
Thank you guys for supporting and thread did drop a podcast on that channel today with with Nick. So I definitely suggest going to check that one out.
But yeah, OK, but now that that's out of the way, we can kind of get into the rest of the stuff.
So and I apologize if my enthusiasm is kind of low time. So fucking exhausted. I'm going to make some caffeine here.
So fuck cancer. We raised one hundred thousand dollars in crypto.
The majority of it in Seoul and some of it in East. And actually, I need a stable up.
I need a what I'm going to probably do here in the next few minutes is just transfer the or not transfer, but convert the Solana and the Ethereum to just like USDC and just lock in that one hundred thousand dollars.
Because like, yes, crypto could like, you know, like, let's say Solana does go up another 10 percent tomorrow.
That's another eight thousand dollars, nine thousand and, you know, whatever it is with Ethereum.
But I think I would feel way shittier if we lost 20 percent of the donations in terms of the USD value compared to the upside of potentially holding it.
So I'm going to just transfer it to USDC. So if anybody's looking at the wallet, then that's what you'll see.
And that's the explanation. And I'll probably put a tweet out about that as well.
Also, the engagement on the tweets and everything has been incredible.
The feedback, all this stuff, too.
I know I know some people have my notifications have blown up in the in the past few minutes from certain individuals who think that it's a bad thing of what I'm doing or that I'm scamming or that I just made one hundred thousand dollars.
And I can just say this pretty transparently, bro, I don't need one hundred thousand dollars like I'm doing just fine just to be just to keep it as simple as possible.
I actually thought that we would only raise twenty thousand or thirty thousand dollars because it wasn't a token and that it was strictly just donations and for charity and that I give people my art, whatever it was.
Also, the winning bid was I think one point eight or one point nine.
I don't know what it ended up being at the end if it was topped off or not.
So congratulations to that bid.
They they won the one of one leap Genesis that I think I'm going to put on Bitcoin and put under like do a parent child inscription thing under my PFP, which is around seventy seven K.
So congrats to them.
And the the top 10 total also will receive a one of 10 and then the the rest will receive just like the unlimited edition rather like whatever the total amount is.
Now, a couple of things that I did incorrectly that I think I could really, really improve on going forward because truthfully, a big part of this as well.
Was it was an experiment, you know, I've been in crypto now just like on Twitter and doing all this stuff for a little while, obviously.
And I haven't really done anything recently that I was proud of or that I thought was interesting.
Spaces are great and I love the community that we fostered, but I want to do things on chain.
I think legacy is built on chain and being scared to do anything.
I think it's just bullshit.
And I've been very scared to do anything for a really long time because I've tried to do things in the past and it's very difficult.
They don't always go well.
So I've just been scared for two years to try anything.
And with this one specifically, I actually don't think I've talked.
I haven't done a space since we since I put out the tweet yesterday.
So I guess this is the first time I'm kind of talking about it here on audio.
But yeah, I was just just definitely scared to try and do something because there's so many things that can go wrong.
Right. So and I see people in request helping guys up here in a moment.
So things that can go wrong is one fucking wallet to get drained or some shit.
So I had to be very careful and use my brand new computer that hasn't done anything.
You know, any just like strictly metamask and phantom wallet.
So that's the first thing that obviously nothing is going to happen.
But you know, you always have that in the back of your head.
The second thing that can go wrong is like you just raise no money and then you just kind of look like a fucking bozo.
And then the whole thing is a failure.
Now, some some things that can go very right, which did go right, is you completely surpass all expectations.
And we raise one hundred grand, which is insane.
Like I called my parents.
I was like, Mom and Dad, you won't fucking believe this.
Like we raised one hundred thousand dollars for charity and they were so fucking ecstatic, dude, they couldn't believe it.
You know, for them, like these numbers are so unheard of.
And to raise one hundred grand in twenty four hours is insane.
It's insane. It's not like I have that big of an account.
You know what I mean? So that was just it was super cool to be able to share that with them, too.
And it made their day. So that was nice.
Another thing, too, is, you know, I've talked about releasing art for a really long time and I just didn't.
I just don't want to do a paid collection. I just don't.
I don't need the money. Like I'm not a millionaire.
I don't need the fucking money. I'm doing fine.
I can pay my rent. I have a job, things like that.
And also, I just it's just like something about it for me personally wasn't the right move.
And I will support artists all day, all day long, whatever, doing pavements, whatever it might be.
But for me, particularly wasn't the right thing.
So I'm like, how the fuck do I, one, do a good thing,
two, like I do it on my birthday and it's like a cool thing.
For me, personally, it's very satisfactory.
And then three, distribute my art to people who who care about it and who
just like want to donate to a good cause.
Now, a couple of things that I did wrong that if I do run this back,
which I plan to run this back in like six months.
So for like the next six months, continue to build the platform and like experiment
behind the scenes with some more like like have some sort of tech aspect to this
that I think could be interesting.
I remember when I I came up with that idea essentially like the night before my birthday.
So it wasn't even 24 hours. I was like, fuck, we can we can do something cool here.
Like this presale meta with the token, like you drop the wallet address and everybody
don't like I was like, all right, there's something here.
So I immediately like called up like 10 people that I really, really trust and respect
in this space.
I'm like, look, I'm thinking about doing this thing.
I don't have much time to prepare.
This is like a I got to go to bed in like an hour.
So I'll have like a few hours tomorrow to prepare this and that's it.
And I want to distribute my art and donate to charity and we're going to raise money
on like using this kind of presale meta thing.
But obviously there's no token, whatever.
I talked to a lot of people about it and they all fucking loved it.
Everybody was like, fucking run it.
Go for it.
It's for a good cause.
Just send it.
Just do it.
And again, some of the things that I did incorrectly is I didn't anticipate
being sibyl attacked.
And like that was one of the concerns.
I was like, OK, so if you do this on.
So the first thing was it's on ETH and Solana.
And I was going to also include a Bitcoin wallet.
But I'm like, OK, this becomes way too complicated.
So I was like, fuck it.
We'll just do ETH and Solana.
What I should have done truthfully is just Solana or just ETH.
I think splitting between the two has added a little bit of complexity
that is solvable, but wouldn't have been there had I just chose one blockchain,
which creates an interesting conversation of now that the communities have melded
between essentially Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.
How do projects that want to do NFTs or really anything
interoperable between the different communities on different chains?
Like how do you even operate there?
Because yeah, it's all just like fucking mixed up between all the different wallets.
So, for example, on Ethereum, we received much less donations.
I think it was around eighteen thousand dollars.
But the donations were bigger in size.
So we had like many like point one, point two, one ETH, like that sort of thing
where on salon, but then you have to pay twenty dollars to send that money.
So you got to think, oh shit, my phone's about to die.
The other thing is like how much in those transactions was burnt to gas
that could have just been donated to charity?
So, hold on, I'm grabbing my charger.
Give me a second.
Just one moment, guys. Sorry.
All right, there we go.
So how much money was burnt up in gas that could have been used for charity?
So that was that's now something I'm thinking about.
It's like if there is charitable stuff and you do it on Ethereum,
the gas fucks it.
You can't do that.
Like it just doesn't work.
So then you can use an L2.
And I was thinking that when I was coming up with the whole thing
was, okay, I can use an L2 like we could do this on base.
I bet we could get support from base.
But if we do it on base, like truthfully,
I don't know what percentage of our community has money bridged on base.
And I didn't anticipate the original tweet doing, you know,
600,000 views and, you know, over 2000.
I didn't think the tweet was going to get as big as it did.
So the way I was thinking about it was, okay, if we do this on base,
I don't think a majority of our community is even using base.
Therefore, the donations will be significantly limited
and it just defeats the whole purpose.
So we won't do it on an L2.
In retrospect, what I should have done was fucking
actually probably just like write up a whole postmortem on the whole thing.
In retrospect, I should have probably like reached out to like somebody
or like the base foundation, whatever, and like try to coordinate something.
But I just didn't have enough time.
It was I needed to do it on my birthday and I just moved quick on it.
So that does the problems with ETH.
On Solana, you can donate 0.1, 0.05, 2 bucks, 4 bucks,
and it actually makes a difference.
It adds up.
I mean, it was like $85,000 in donations on Solana or like 87, something like that.
But the problem is that you can, because I did this kind of mechanic where you can,
and sorry, my brain is so jumbled.
It's been a long day.
Because I did this mechanic that you can just receive this piece of art
for any donation that you give.
People started fucking spamming the wallet.
So there were thousands of transactions that were like 0.001, 0.0001.
Just like people spamming as much as possible
because each single one is going to receive one of the NFTs.
Now, those NFTs, I don't think will have, like maybe they have value.
Whoever bought it, fucking defeated the whole purpose.
And now there's going to be a much more inflated supply.
And maybe there's still value.
Maybe there's not.
Who fucking knows?
The value to me comes from it's a momento in your wallet
that you donated to this thing
and that you participated in this experience.
And then hopefully that means something to you.
Anybody who is trying to capitalize on it for monetary gain
by spamming the wallet, I think they're going to have a bad time.
And they shouldn't expect any monetary return from the NFT,
whatever it is.
Now, the one of 10 or the one of one,
those are obviously significantly more limited.
And to those collectors, congrats, whatever.
And I hope you enjoy them.
And I put a lot of thought and effort into the art.
So I really hope you take care of those pieces
and they stay in your wallet for a long time
or you sell them or whatever the fuck you want to do.
I don't care.
Pass them down to your family, whatever it is.
So when I initially posted the tweet
and I saw the wallet start getting spammed,
I added a tweet under it saying,
OK, minimum donation to qualify for art is 0.01 sold.
And I think that's like, what, $2, $3?
So my mindset was, OK, this becomes a little bit harder
to spam as opposed to a fraction of a penny.
Well, let alone the DJs are going to do what they do
and they continue to spam anyway.
I changed it like eight hours later to being point.
I added another comment and I said, OK,
0.1 is the minimum.
Well, even that didn't stop it.
So those were like, these are some of the problems
that if you're going to do because this is my thesis
on charity or any sort of like public goods
or charitable causes when it comes to crypto
is that why when you do a presale
for some fucking bullshit token
that literally is going to go to zero in five minutes
and all the presellers are going to dump on your heads
and it's just fucking the whole thing is a mess.
How come those can raise 20 million, 50 million,
100 million, whatever it is?
Well, the reason is quite simple
is because you'll make money if you get in the presale.
And there's nothing wrong with that, right?
Like this is decentralized
and people can do whatever they want.
And it's fun.
I have no issue with that.
Buy presales, sell presales, I don't give a shit.
Do whatever you want.
But how do you apply that same thesis
to any sort of charitable cause
or something that helps people,
whether public goods, whatever it is?
Well, I was thinking it's like how do you
and I didn't do it with this time,
but if I ever try to do something like this again,
maybe we'll try to figure this out on a deeper level.
But like, how do you make it
so that people who donate to charity
could potentially also make a lot of money in the process,
which is bizarre to think about, right?
Because in the real world, when you donate to charity,
it's just you get like a tax bonus or benefit or whatever.
Like there is some incentive
to donate to charity in the real world.
Well, I guess you could still get that tax break in crypto,
but it's a little bit different.
And not everybody's in a claim that they donated
and this wallets and all this stuff.
It's a little bit more complicated
and charitable tools within crypto are not as developed.
Just how like Dow tooling is not as developed.
There's a lot of things that have yet to be developed
just because the space is very new.
Okay, I'll bring some people up to you.
Hold up, I'm still going to rant for a little.
Just keep that in mind.
Okay, so again, the thesis is like,
how can you do something
that either raises money for a good cause
slash raises money for research or whatever the fuck it is,
but also make people a lot of money in the process?
That sounds insane.
I understand that sounds insane, but that is the thesis.
And I haven't quite figured it out yet.
Like this was a slight experiment
with like me giving out my art in NFTs.
But like what would happen if somebody did the same thing
but the top donator got a people one of one
or like the top 10 people got a fucking X copy.
Like now, you're starting to cook.
Now there's like ways to do it
in which people can donate
and they can get something in return.
And that is completely that's the ideology
that web three was built on,
which is the alignment of incentives that if you like,
for example, if there's a new blockchain
and you go in like bridge
and do a bunch of shit on the chain,
you get rewarded, right?
That's the entire thing with base.
Base keeps telling people,
if you build on base, we will reward you.
And they're probably gonna reward people
in some way or some form, right?
That's like, that's the entire thing.
So you take that concept
and you approach like charitable causes,
things like that.
Now you're starting to cook.
But if you strictly just ask for donations,
you're not gonna raise enough money.
So shout out to Lupify.
Lupify actually did this a few days before me,
which was he did,
which I didn't even see until after the fact.
Someone had,
because when I was fielding this idea to people,
they had sent me this later on
and it, Lupify had did hot meals for people in Gaza,
which is really cool.
And they raised 33,000 in Seoul
and I think it was like 250 bucks in each.
That's a lot of fucking money,
near 40 grand.
And then Keith Grossman,
Moon Pay, he did one
and they only raised like $200.
And I'm like, okay,
so clearly people,
but they did the same strategy
of like posting the wallet.
So I looked at those and I was like,
okay, what was wrong with these?
Like, why did these not hit?
Well, I mean, Lupify's did really well.
Shout out, he's fucking,
Lupify's awesome.
So shout out to them.
But like, why did they not hit
as much as they could have played?
Why did this not raise six figures?
And we, by the way,
we barely raised six figures.
The only reason that we hit 100K
was two things.
One, in the final five minutes,
there was like another,
you know, few thousand dollars in donations.
And then two,
most of the donations came yesterday
and Solano was up like 15% today.
So everything that was done,
so everything that was donated
basically went up 10, 15%.
So that was really the only,
we like barely hit six figures.
So to me, I'm like, fuck dude.
Like, I could have done more.
I could have prepared better.
Like, there was a way
I could have done this
where we would have made
a lot more money for charity.
But it's fine.
We learned from the experience
and in six months,
we'll try to do something different.
Um, so anyway,
those were some of the things
that I was thinking about.
I've like, who the fuck is at the door?
All right, give me a second.
Who the fuck is at the door?
Hold up, guys.
I'm putting it on mute.
Also, I'm in my underwear right now.
I'm like literally walking around
in my underwear.
Give me a second.
We'll put some pants on.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I'm allowed to do a space
in my underwear, okay?
Fucking sue me.
Give me, I'm putting it on mute.
Give me a second.
One second, y'all.
All right, so it was a delivery guy
and they were delivering pizza.
Somebody named Matt.
I didn't order any pizza.
Anyway, okay, where was I?
So, those were some of the problems.
Now, I just put on pants for no reason.
This is ridiculous.
I'm supposed to be, I'm off work.
This is my me time.
Okay, this is now the additional problem
now that has been caused by me
doing two different blockchains.
And we're going to get to the hands
right after this.
This is the last thing.
What do you, no, we're not pinning
anything up to the top.
I know what the hell is going on.
So, the second thing is, love you, Eric,
but I didn't, just nothing at the top right now.
The second thing is because
I chose two different blockchains,
I incurred now a technical issue
that I need to fix, which is fine
because I have developers
working on it already
and, like, we're going to get
this solved in, like, 24 hours.
Because, so the majority of people
they donate on sold, that's super easy.
I can airdrop all those myself,
cost me a couple bucks, not an issue.
Well, the ones on ETH, now we have an issue
because it's like, do I,
I have to answer the question,
do I don't give the art to the people
on ETH on the Ethereum blockchain
and then segment the collection
between two blockchains?
Or do I essentially build a claim page
in which the user can go
and input their ETH address
or, like, connect their ETH wallet
and then just input a sole receiving address
and receive the NFT to their sole address.
So that is not too difficult to do
and I can probably get that done
in, like, I already have Devs working on it.
So that's the solution
that I'm doing right now.
But I could also just give it to them
on ETH, like, so that's why
I should have just done one block.
So if anybody tries to do something
like this in the future,
don't fucking do two blockchains
because then you just have this issue
that is stupid.
And yeah, and it makes me wonder too,
like, how you, if chains
are supposed to be interoperable
and we get to a point in time
where people don't even know
what chain they're on
and they're just freely operating,
you know, in crypto,
like, how does that work
if there's so many different chains?
I don't know, I'm not,
like, I'm not a tech guy.
So those are problems that,
like, smarter people
than you need to fix.
So those, that's kind of like a post-mortem.
I will write a tweet
going through every single one
of those points.
That's much more concise
thought through and put together
and I'll probably put it out tomorrow
just so other people
who maybe want to experiment
with something like this
can learn from it.
Oh yeah, there's two more things.
One of them is,
this only works if there is trust.
So like, if a random person
that someone doesn't know,
like, tries to do something like this,
I genuinely don't think
you guys should send money
to the address.
And I've had a lot of people
DM me, say like,
oh, I want to do something similar.
And I, like, dude,
you got to be careful
because one, immediately
when I started doing this,
there were like 10 fake leap accounts
under the original tweet
saying things like,
like, modeled exactly like my account.
Like, oh, like, here's the real address,
blah, blah, blah.
And I think they,
I don't think they got any money.
I don't think anybody fell for it.
But something to think about
is like, if you see people
doing stuff like this,
typically it is going to be a scam.
And when I posted the tweet initially,
dude, I got so many calls.
Like, are you hacked?
Are you hacked?
Are you hacked?
Like, no, I'm not hacked.
And that's why I posted the video
of me talking about it as well,
just so people know
that I wasn't hacked
and that it was a real thing.
But I knew that was also
going to be like a risk
and people would think
that it's like a scam or whatever.
But I'm like, fuck it, dude.
I do not give a shit.
I'm going to do what I think is right.
I'm going to do what I think is good.
And I don't give a fuck
what anybody else thinks.
And I think that,
and I think that's the attitude
that you guys should take too.
Way too many people,
way too many people
are afraid to experiment
and try things on the blockchain
because it's forever
and everybody judges and this and that.
Well, just do things in the right way.
Take your time.
Think about it.
And I think it'll be fun.
Obviously, don't do anything recklessly
because it's still people's money
that you're responsible for.
And $100,000 is a lot.
It's a lot.
There was one more thing
I wanted to say.
I can't remember though.
I think I'm done.
I think that was it.
Oh, I did get,
I'm not even kidding.
I got hundreds of DMs,
hundreds of DMs of people.
Like this so-and-so person
in my family has cancer.
Thank you so much.
Don't like the amount of people
that reached out about this.
Just dude, fuck cancer.
It's affecting way too many people.
And I feel like something in crypto,
like either it's the centralized science.
Maybe that's not it.
There's something here
within this technology
and this ideology of alignment of incentives
and the way that we do things
and the ability to raise money.
There is something here
that can help this,
not only just cancer,
but many diseases
or just like things in general,
whether it's fucking homelessness
and all this.
There's so many problems.
And again, if you can figure out a way
to reward people
or make them money
in the process of donating
or doing good things,
then you have cracked the code.
That is to me one of the,
it was one of the biggest breakthroughs
that I've had personally
in my thinking about the space.
And maybe in a week or two,
I'll think,
okay, that was a dumb experiment.
We got lucky, whatever.
But maybe not.
Maybe we're on to something.
So that's the final thing.
I love you guys.
We'll go to the hands here.
If you want to support the space again,
click that button
in the bottom right hand corner,
like, comment, retweet,
all that good stuff.
Okay, I'm done.
I'm done.
I want to go to Sean first.
Sean, good to see you as always.
What's going on?
Yeah, nice work.
That's awesome.
Congrats on pulling that off.
Your big time.
Your big time now.
It's cool to see.
But yeah, I jumped up when you,
I don't have the answer
to the part you were trying to solve.
But in a different setting,
I'd called GT one day.
And it was at a time
when there was a project
that was in really high demand.
Everybody went on the white list.
It knew it was going to do well.
It was ran by a good person
that I knew GT knew.
And it just sparked it.
I was like, wait, GT,
this would be the perfect opportunity
for you to fund your mission.
If people don't know,
gentle tornado, he's up here,
which is nice.
I'll shell for him.
But him having a native web three,
501 three C,
basically like we all watched him
dream it and created out here
for two years straight.
And the relationships
he has in web three
are really powerful.
But most of us works in web two
or the real world,
whatever we call that.
And like just the fact that
that project that we were referencing
when I was talking to him,
it was like they're going to pull
that they were going to pull
in a couple of million dollars.
I think a GT stamp of approval
saying like he knows the team
behind that project.
And that they were good people
for the people minting
that don't know them
is a powerful value swap
for what would probably end up
being a really like heartfelt tax
write off for whatever percentage,
like small 510,
like a creator royalty type percentage
to fuel GT's mission.
I mean, we didn't flesh out the idea
in full, but instead of GT
attempting to sell tokens
or art to the web three crowd,
but basically tying himself
to like bigger projects in the space
that are still trying
to decide the mint price
because of how high
of a demand they have.
I don't know.
I just wanted to say like,
good job to you.
And then I was going to shout out
GT, but he's up here
so you can let him talk.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
And shout out to GT.
You know, GT go ahead.
That's going to be here, dude.
Great job, Lee.
I mean, it's incredible.
I think it's incredible
what this tech can do, man.
I think that's kind of one
of the saddest things
that happens every day
is that, you know,
yet $10 million gets burned.
It's like, man,
cancer is killing people.
Teens mental health
is absolutely atrocious.
I mean, 42% of kids
feel hopeless and sad every day.
You know, it's been definitely
something I've dealt with
that's been a difficult thing
for my mental health
to just be here.
But I love what you did.
And I love what Sean's saying.
It's, you know, interesting
because I went to a lot of projects
and asked them like,
hey, you're going to admit
this amount of money.
Like, what do you think
about donating half a percent
to two and a half percent
of your mint funds
to our foundation?
We'll run, you know,
a bunch of promotional stuff.
We'll, you know,
put you guys on our website
and it's going to be a tax
right off anyways.
And you're going to have to donate
or you're going to have to send
money to the IRS anyways.
So it's kind of a win-win for you.
It just didn't go that well.
And that could be me.
And that could be just the fact
that a lot of people don't want
to pay their taxes.
A lot of founders try
to get around it.
Yeah, yeah, it's early.
For sure.
And so like I'm just fired up
to be here because
I agree with you.
I think that the like
the possibilities
for this space man are crazy.
Like the impact that can be real
with the people that are here.
Like, obviously,
like Sean has said,
I've created this foundation
over the last two years
in real time leap.
We've known each other
for probably about two years
of this time.
So like we have these relationships
and we can figure out a way to
get dgens to donate money
to make this change.
It's like,
I don't need the dgens to go out
and do that.
Do the work in public.
Like we're going to go do it
or, you know,
the cancer foundation
you're going to donate to
is going to go do it.
But the power behind donating
a hundred thousand
is such a good image for us
as a space where it's like,
yeah, we have instead of focusing
on $10 million getting burned,
like let's focus on $100,000
just got donated to cancer.
Or, you know,
we did our fundraise.
We've raised $30,000
for kids mental health.
And I can tell you right now
the kids that we're impacting
is unbelievable every day.
Like it almost makes me want to cry.
And so where that's going to go,
I don't know.
But like, yeah, what we can do,
I'm here for it, dude.
I would love to hop on a call
and just talk to you more
and whatever,
because I'm in on it
because I think this tech
is revolutionary
and the money here is
it's very serious.
And I think people do have
a good heart at the core.
I want to believe that.
And I think that the change
that can be done in this world,
man, like there's just a lot
of bad shit going on
that's getting worse.
And it starts with youth,
but it's also all over
the place like cancer, man.
There's tons of cancer
because people are unhealthy
and that's causing cancer
and then people just get cancer.
And so there's different ways
that we can make impact
and I think it's beautiful
that you did it, man.
So I'm just grateful to be here
and be able to witness it
and have any hopefully
we can get on a call
or talk about it more.
I'd love to talk to you about it.
No, no, I would love to.
And I appreciate everything
that you've done as well
with your foundation.
You've just been cooking
for so long
and I don't think you get
the respect that you deserve.
So if everybody in this room
could go in and follow GT
and go check out
what he's doing
because he absolutely
deserves the support.
I think for me,
it was a fundamental shift
in because again,
it wasn't like I a year ago
was like, I'm gonna charity stuff
and like, no, it really was.
It's a very recent thing
where I think it was
like six months ago
where I started to think
maybe five months ago
where I started to think,
okay, like what is it
that I want to do?
Because while I love creating content,
I just don't see like leap
being a content creator forever.
Like, I just don't see that
and being the destiny.
I think that's going to be
a part of building the platform
so I can execute on bigger things.
And the idea I have next
is much bigger
and it's going to take me
like a million.
We're raising a fucking million
and because like, for example,
like when I think it was like
when shrooms launched
yesterday, two days ago, whatever.
And I'm not going to comment
on the coin or whatever,
but I will comment
on this one aspect,
which is somebody,
they bribed the validators.
You can do this on salon.
You basically bribed the validators
or something with they spent
$500,000 to snipe
the token initially
with $1 million.
So they were in 1.5
and they pulled out $9 million
in like five minutes.
And when I saw that,
I'm thinking, fuck, dude,
there is a lot of money
and there's a lot
and that person was willing
to risk $500,000
to make money.
So there has to be like something here
where it's like people can make money
while also doing the right thing.
And Liberty Square,
shout out to Liberty.
Liberty quote tweeted the initial tweet
and said that anybody who donates,
I don't know if you guys saw this,
I retweeted it.
They said anybody who donates,
well, I think they're releasing
a token too for their project
that anybody who donates
will receive like an airdrop
for the tokens.
And I was like, fuck, dude,
that is interesting.
Where it's like,
we have this list of wallets
and you can easily filter out
what's spam and what's not
like fucking filter out everything
that's below point one, whatever.
But that is interesting.
You have this list of wallets
that donated for this good cause
that is like a goaded list of wallets.
Like this list of wallets
is fucking immaculate.
It's goaded
and they can be rewarded.
So now I can go fucking pull strings
and do things like that
to like go fucking reward
like get this list
to every founder, to every team
and be like, yo, fucking reward
these people and they'll do it.
I've talked to a lot of founders already
and people are interested in that.
Like that concept is cool.
So there's and it kind of touches
on what you were talking about GT.
So there are ways to approach this
that I think maybe have not been explored
or that I haven't figured out yet
or the greater space
hasn't really thought about.
But we can capitalize on this.
These degens are raising all this
spending all this money,
the millions of or I'm like, all right,
bless the degens.
Let's give them what they want
and let's give them a fucking reason to donate.
And that's the way
that I'm thinking about it
because I am a degenerate heart
and I think it would be fucking sick
to be able to give to a good cause
and then also make a bag.
Now that part I haven't figured out.
I don't know how to make them a bag yet,
but we'll keep thinking
and try to ideate on that a little bit more.
And I try to ignore the FUD
and I am really not going to comment
on it too much,
but there are like certain individuals
that are like dogging me.
Yesterday on the tweet,
they're like, wouldn't it be ironic
if you died from cancer, like LOL?
I'm like, bro, fuck you.
Like, what is that even?
And like, you're things like,
oh, like using cancer to like,
you just made 100 grand.
Bro, I didn't just make 100 grand.
I'm actually probably gonna have to pay
taxes on this 100 grand.
So I'm probably gonna have to come out of pocket.
So it's just like, I don't know.
There's always gonna be fuckers
that just like try to get in the way
and FUD these things, but fuck them.
So anyway, look, we'll go to the hands.
Go follow GT.
He deserves it.
And if you don't know,
GT stands for gentle tornado.
Look, we're going over to M. Lo.
And I'm just out of breath.
M. Lo, talk to me.
What's up?
It's a happy birthday.
And I just wanted to give you
a huge congratulations.
Raising 100k in one day is no simple feat.
I don't think there are many people
things that are actually important.
So it's really nice that in the midst
of all this like shit coin madness,
you were able to get a lot of people
to donate some of those profits
over to a really good cause.
So a really huge congratulations to you.
And also shout out to GT.
What he does is really, really awesome.
And I think that it's a huge model
for what kind of impact investments
and charities can do on chain.
And I think that like more charities
can move to on chain methods
because I think being able to see
that like leap has the money
sitting in that wallet, for example,
and didn't cash out and go to Miami
and buy a house or something
is much different than it being
in a wallet or something.
And us not having visibility
and not seeing what he's doing with it.
If that makes sense.
Yo, M. Lo, dude, 100%.
Bro, I'll tell anybody that my parents
and my in-laws helped me pay
I'd rather show that shit on chain
to show that like a foundation
can be run the right way
and doesn't give $50 million
and doesn't make impact.
And we're just in the same position
we're at where people are hating
on leap that saying
that he might die from cancer, bro,
like the mental health issue
in this world is really that fucked.
It's pretty serious.
And so it's like, do the fact
that we can be on chain, be honest.
This is like one of the most rarest
opportunities because we live
in a world that is not honest
and is not accountable.
It's like, no, that's exactly
what we're trying to do here.
And that's what's capable.
And then in turn, we can help kids
and lead that example.
And just obviously I'm just speaking
for myself, but this is for Eddie.
There's so many nonprofits
in web three that are unbelievable
and doing things that can be
real leaders in the world
because we just live in this facade.
And so, yeah, no, 100 percent.
And by the way, I am going
to Miami this weekend.
So if you guys see, I actually
so if you guys see pictures,
like it's not with this money.
I but it's a testament
to the blockchain where like
it's on chain, so on and so forth.
I do need to swap it
to USCC though here.
The other thing I wanted to say
is I made you a one of one
that I sent to that wallet.
So I hope you enjoy that.
Not you, the foundation.
No, I appreciate that.
I haven't even looked.
I need to go check it out.
Honestly, I was in like disbelief
most of today and yesterday,
just refreshing the wallet
and seeing the numbers go up.
And it made me feel better
than any amount of money
that I've made for myself.
I'll be completely honest.
So yeah, there's a there's a lot
that we can do with this technology
that people are not thinking about.
But I also think that's like
people are dogging
the presale meta,
but the presale meta
is kind of what gave me the idea
to even do it this way.
And then also like shout out
to Lupify and Keith Grossman
who did something similar too.
So it's like that you never know
what like certain metas will evolve into
and like how they can be used.
And I think it'll become
increasingly refined
as time goes on too.
And I actually I'm actually not opposed
to like people just posting
a wallet address
and raising funds
for something that they're doing,
whether it's a project,
a token or the chair.
Like I don't actually dislike it.
I just think it needs to be done
in the right way.
And unfortunately, because truthfully,
it's a very transparent
and fair way to do something.
It's like, hey, you have this time limit.
Here's the wallet sent to
and we're going to fucking do
whatever it is that we're saying
that we're doing.
The problem is that the token meta,
like there's no vesting schedule.
The presale is like they dump immediately.
Like it doesn't it doesn't work
in the current iteration,
but it will eventually
and people will figure this out
as time goes on.
So never doubt the innovation
that can come out of
some of this stuff.
We have a ton of hands.
I'll keep it short.
Let's go to the hands.
I want to throw it over to Mumbot.
Mumbot, what's up?
What do you think?
Happy birthday.
Okay, first of all,
and second, fuck cancer.
This is so awesome.
What you did.
You should be so proud of yourself.
It's not that often that people
just do something so amazing.
And I'm so happy that it
it was so successful.
And it really is like it's weird.
I just was thinking about.
I think something Lex Friedman
posted the other day
was just like about how
good people are.
And I was like,
I'm kind of on that same wave right now
and I'm like trying not to even
worry about like all the negative shit
because I feel like there's just
we're just constantly being
pounded with all that
and we all have enough
that we're dealing with.
Actually, my father-in-law
is also he's been
battling stage four cancer and.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
It's a hard thing.
I was just going to say like
it's so cool what you did.
I appreciate that.
Check out the giving block,
by the way, for if you need help.
I think that's helpful for donations.
Yeah, no, I've definitely checked out
the giving block.
Super cool.
And I appreciate you sharing.
Dude, cancer is the devil
and it is like way too invasive
in our day-to-day lives
and we've become too desensitized
to the fact that it can
that it happens as often as it does.
And, you know, hopefully,
hopefully we can make an impact
like further than just what this is.
And yeah, yeah, it's a hard thing.
It's a hard thing because
it's also a thing that money
by itself can't really fix.
Like even if we raised $5 million,
let's just be honest with ourselves,
the $100,000, it's amazing.
And it's amazing as a movement
and as a thing that we can point to
and say that we did a good thing.
But it's not going to make enough
of a dent in the problem.
Not enough to me personally.
And I think that,
but it's a sign that we can
potentially make a dent in it.
But we need a lot more money
and we need to do it in interesting ways.
And I also think that
the noise that we can generate
can be more impactful
than even just the dollar amount
that we make.
And that's why I hope
if any of these fucking media entities
that exist in the space,
probably nothing.
Like we put it in our vlog,
like we're going to talk about it
in the next vlog.
And Blau, I see you in the request.
I'm going to bring it up here in a second.
So we're going to talk about it
on our platform
and we're getting millions of views.
So and most of those people
are web two people
that think crypto is a grift and a scam.
And hopefully they look at this
and say like, wow,
you can actually do cool shit with it.
But for any of these other
fucking media outlets out there,
not going to name your names,
but you know who I'm talking to.
If you guys don't report on this,
you're fucked.
And you don't even have to include my name.
Do not include my name.
Do not put leap in there.
Do not put anything.
Just say like,
anonymous group of donators
raise $100,000 for cancer.
That's it.
And if they don't
and I promise you,
they seem the tweet got 600,000 views.
Like everyone, everyone saw it.
If the all of them fucking to rug.
Don't make me fucking go
through the names right now.
You guys better fucking report on this.
And if they don't,
it's because they chose not to.
And that's the problem.
That's the fucking problem
is that the people
with the voices in the space
don't want to fucking talk about the good.
They only I'm not going to get into it.
I'm not going to fucking get into it.
And I think they all mean well,
they genuinely do.
But if they don't report on this,
and they donated it through
whatever fucking whatever.
So we're going to see.
We're going to fucking see what happens.
And Mumbot, you're the fucking goat.
And I appreciate you so much.
Thank you for coming up on stage.
Prayers to you and your family.
And I hope to God
that this starts some movement
that we can like start eradicating
this shit from the planet.
Because I remember when I started
having ideas about like,
how we can like contribute
to cancer research or detection
or whatever the fuck.
And many people told me like,
leave like you're crazy.
Like, you can't fucking cure.
You can't cure.
You can't sell a much bigger of an issue.
And while I do think it's crazy,
I actually think it's possible.
I like I genuinely think
that if enough effort enough movement,
you can you can actually make a dent.
I genuinely believe that,
especially in crypto,
because we have a chance here to do.
There are billions of dollars on chain,
billions that aren't controlled
by the government
that aren't controlled by pharmaceutical.
It is way too much
of a profitable business
to keep cancer going.
There's no reason for that.
And that's why some of the initiatives
I'm going to be taking
in the next few months are much more.
First, I was thinking about,
okay, well, we need to like,
do decentralized science.
So we're going to put all this money into research
and we're going to develop new cures
and use fucking Bitcoin liquidity,
the whales to fund this thing.
That doesn't work
because it just doesn't work.
The medicine that you can,
you have to solve the issue much before that.
And it doesn't cure everything.
But if you start at detection,
and there's a lot of things
that you can do to make.
There's like some research
into full body scans.
I don't know if the radiation you get
from those is worth it for most people,
but there are other things that you can do.
So I think really the issue starts at detection.
Like for my dad specifically,
bro, prostate cancer can be detected
at like the first stage
and they take the prostate out
and they solve it.
But because there's not enough education
on detection for older people who,
my dad didn't fucking know
what a prostate was.
That's like a made up word.
He didn't know what the fuck that was.
So because there wasn't,
who made that word up?
Because there isn't enough education
from the detection side,
it gets to the point
where then finally when they find it,
it's already so drastic.
And you have to spend like,
yeah, you have insurance
and the insurance covers it,
but the insurance is paying
50,000 a month or 100,000,
whatever the fuck it is
for these very invasive cancer treatments
or like super taxing on the body.
And it's like fucked
that there are like,
like you can go trade stocks
for pharmaceutical companies
that make their money
from like predatory,
like cancer medications
that should never have
to even be used in the first place.
And not every case is the same.
Obviously, sometimes cancer
can't be detected until late stage
and you have to use very heavy.
That is different.
We're not talking about that.
That's obviously it is what it is.
So anyway, I have a ton of thoughts on this,
but I won't say too much
about too much.
Mom bought you the goat.
We're going over to TKB.
TKB, what's up?
Good evening, Lee.
I had a few things
I want to touch on,
but the biggest one is just like
love to you and your family.
You're here every day doing this
and giving us a place to talk.
And I mean, I'm just happy
that the space I spend most time
with my hand up is ran
by a really good dude.
And I just want to send a lot of love
to you and your family
for for what you're going through
and other people that are going through it.
Just awesome to see what you did.
But I just I think it's really cool
that you bring this topic up
because it's something that
I've been chatting about
for probably like a year,
year and a half.
Any of my friends that know me really well.
And and I'm really glad GT is here too,
because we've had a lot of conversations
on this topic is just that,
like to me on chain and NFTs and stuff
is it's such a good charity thing.
Like I've thought that for a long time
where if you can actually create a way
where imagine if these tokens were moving,
like look at the royalties
at something like board ape
or something is pulled up
and imagine if that was attached
to a charity where 10,000 ETH
over the next five years
because dgens are trading
randomly goes to to a charity.
I think it's it's such a big thing
and in seeing something like what
what GT is doing like with hyped heroes
where when you mint that
you actually get an on chain tax receipt
and like that is innovating the space.
Most of these projects
aren't innovating the space.
And so to see someone
like like you guys doing things
that are bringing good and
and really adding value to everything
we're trying to accomplish in this space,
which I truly think it's it's for good.
Like I've always said that
the biggest thing for blockchain is
let's get charity and government spending on chain.
I know if Naveen was here,
we've had conversations back and forth
about this a lot,
but I think that all government,
all charity spending on chain,
the whole public should always be able to see it.
We should know where that money is going,
making sure we know it's going to good
and and and all those things.
It's really, really important
that we move the space forward
in a good direction like that.
And it's just awesome to see.
And then and like you say,
how can we reward people?
I know one thing like even me
and GT have talked about it
is something as simple as like
businesses partnering with these tokens
or these charities and things like that.
And like one idea I had chatted with GT about
is like hey, we we have a fitness company.
How about people that get your token?
We'll literally give them
a free online fitness membership.
Like let's make sure that
if someone donates to you,
we can give them value.
And there's just so many different ways
that I think between business
and and blockchain
and people with good intentions
that we can actually help these charities.
Like there is literal projects
and businesses and stuff
that are profiting
that are bringing in bag
and and just find ways to help
because at the end of the day
and maybe GT maybe half that ideas
for me ranting at you being like
tell all these M efforts in this space.
Like don't give your money to the IRS
like GT and then Hyperos
is a way better donation.
It's a way better place to put your money.
And I don't say that
because it's anything scammy
or anything like that.
It's literally true.
I don't want the extra money
going to the government
if we can be helping a foundation
or helping something like this.
I think it's really, really important.
And one thing I want to touch on too
just quick before I forget the thought
one idea I just had
you were talking about it
at the start leap
with being on two chains
and stuff like that a part of me
you know say you had 85,000
come in on sold and 15,000 on ETH.
I think that you know
there's nothing against
I think picking one chain
say it's sold
and just doing something as simple
as like all those ETH wallets
have them connect
to verify the wallet
and when that connection
just let them put in a sole address
and then they can you know
you can keep the whole chain
on sold or something like that
and have a little bit of control over it.
I think that that's just one option
if you want to get it to one chain
it's a really, really simple thing
and then because I always have
some stupid funny thing to say
why don't you just accidentally
burn that 100k
we'll send her to a million leaps
see what happens.
You know what's funny is
we were talking about ideas
to just like make some more noise
and yesterday we went to
we just have some amazing friends
in LA here
but we went to dinner
and we like rented a sprinter
and like they fucking
my friends treated me really well
last night honestly
they fucking took me out
and it was awesome
I don't think I've celebrated
my birthday in like nine years
so it was it was cool
they're fucking awesome
and we were going to take a
we didn't do it
but we were going to take a picture
of like us in the sprinter
and like banks has like cash
spread out everywhere
like middle finger
we're gonna do like super
egregious thing
and be like just like
post a picture of the wallets
that have nothing in them
and just try to like make more noise
I ended up deciding not to do it
because one it would have gone
crazy viral
but I didn't do it
because I'm like all right
I don't want to like joke
too much about it
just in case
because it is so like you know
some people may still think
it's the scam whatever
so we didn't end up doing that
but yeah I was considering
quite a few ideas
of like how we can like
really turn this shit up
but I ended up deciding
all right we'll just be
as clean as possible with this
that's the best way to do it
and I think it'll perform
Lee you didn't tell everyone
that you're using the funds
to pay me for my DJ fee
for your birthday in Miami
oh my god
see this is a problem
it's like I am going to Miami
this weekend
and people are going to think
that I spent the fucking money
but no we are
we already have an agreement
oh my god
yeah I've just tried to get it back
I don't blah
I don't even think 100 grand
could pay your DJ fee
if I'm being entirely up
wait but wait
on the real though
what TKB said about validating
the wallet on one chain
to submit on another
I just wanted to say that
I thought that was really
that's a that's a good way to solve
that if you want
if you wanted to solve that problem
it doesn't you know
it's just a good
good way to think about it
so that is the way
that I'm doing it
so we're building a claim page
that you just basically
can just validate one wallet
and enter a receiving address
for the other one
so but wait also
before I forget
on a more serious note
there's something really fucked up
about on chain charity
and TKB I loved everything
you said by the way
I made a donation to Ukraine
to the Ukrainian wallet address
before they said
there was going to be
a fucking error drop obviously
because that was really funny
people like
oh I found that
do you remember that?
Dude they were
the missionaries
it's on chain
yeah you could
you could see their tweet
and when I made my donation
because that address is like not
because that
the Ukrainian fucking government
posted that okay
and I talked to so many CPAs
because I mean
it was a pretty big donation
I was like yo
like can I write this off?
I didn't think about writing it off
at the time
but like when I went to go
do my taxes
I was like yeah
well like made this donation
and then some of you
might know the story
of me and B DICE
where I just like paid off
a student loan debt in a space
and I talked to my CPAs
I'm like yo
these are on-chain transactions
why can't I
I just like noted them
when I was giving notes
from my return
they're like yeah
you can't do that
like what do you mean
you can't do that
they're like yeah
the government's not
gonna recognize that
and then I talked
to a bunch of other people
basically everyone was like
yeah no you can't write
any of that off
so I didn't
but how fucked up is that
like you like you
the only way that you can really
and I was curious about
that on-chain tax receipt thing
because that's interesting
because even if you get a tax receipt
doesn't mean the government's
gonna recognize it
which is like incredibly
fucked up in and of itself
but yeah anyway
I just like went through
this whole process myself
having donated a bunch of money
on-chain last year
and realizing that like
you can't actually
the government's really
shitty about it
that's all anyway
maybe that's a
like even if you donate
to someone
you can't claim it
unless it's
unless the wallet address
is registered in the name
of the 501c3
which most 501c3s don't do
a couple do
and that's awesome
but in the event that like you're you
even if you are a 501c3
and you post a wallet address
unless you have like a paper
like a perfect paper trail
like funding that address
dress from a registered
like 501c3 on-ramp
through Coinbase
like no the guy
like this is all like super
you know I'm
I try to be as buttoned up as possible
let's be real
but like could you claim
any of these things
and then like the government
yeah sure but like I try
to be perfect on this shit
you know what I mean
and the reality is like
how many 501c3s
are like perfectly registering
their wallet address
like I don't know
shit's way too complicated
that's all that's all I'm saying
I don't I don't think that that part
I don't think that that part's
the hard part blah to be honest
I think that part's
actually super fucking easy
like my I'm not saying
it's hard I'm saying
what I'm saying
I'm just saying like
it sucks that it sucks
that it doesn't count
in most cases
unless the unless you are doing it
like anyone who donated
to leaps thing
doesn't get it right
like unfortunately
it's not leaps fault
it's just like you wanted to do so
it's just it's just shitty
that it works that way
is what I'm saying
I'm not saying it's hard
to just register it
you see what I'm saying
yeah the government
does suck you're right
but it is not hard
to have the main wallet
like for a 501c3
as what I was saying
is like yeah
that's how I've set up my wallet
is through the paper trials
easily because
go to nftbank.ai
you can find all that information
like broken down
and line-itemed
and itemized
for people that are creating 501c3s
and nonprofits
to be on chain
and that's also what the giving block
was educating people on as well
because when it was the pandemic
and everybody was throwing money
around left and right
trying to do good
and help others
that was one of the biggest
kind of headaches
in terms of actually off-ramping
any of the funds
and yeah nftbank
is doing a lot of good for the space
but they don't really have a voice
so anyways
this might not sound good
look I'm just kind of thinking
of all this stuff
like as I go
but I don't think charity
is actually the answer
so that is what we did this time
obviously I need to like experiment
figure out the best way
to do these things
and try to do it in the right way
but I don't think that like
just like giving this money
to a charity
like I said before
isn't going to solve the issue
it's a great thing
and we fucking crushed it
and you know what I mean
like we did our thing
but I really think
it's going to come
from like organizations
within crypto
that can operate
with the money freely
and do what they think it is
because I just like don't trust
the chair
like we're done
any money charity
all this stuff
but in the future
when we do something
like this again
and it probably won't look
like this
where the people
who actually gave the money
will have a choice
and how it's used
and to me
that's the innovation
is like not just
like the first step
is people donating
the second step
is making people a bag
while also donating
which I haven't quite figured it out
and the third step
that's the key guys
you have to make up
that's how you get
these details active
you got to make
give them something
and then the third step
is once you've figured out
the first two parts
is creating the infrastructure
in which the people
who participated
in giving the money
have a say
in how it is used
because I think
they are going to care
a lot more
because they are the one
who actually gave
the fucking money
not some charity
that's just receiving it
that might be a non-profit
but still lines their pocket
like it charities
like for the most part
called fuck cancer
that I've donated to
it's two sentences
sentence number one
is they spread cancer awareness
sentence number two
is after I made a donation
I did a little bit more research
and most of the money
just went to people's salaries
that weren't
by the way
they weren't unreasonable salaries
it's just that like
they didn't actually do anything
so I'm with you
yeah that's
I didn't even know
there was a cancer
or a charity called fuck cancer
somebody left a comment
on one of my posts
that I thought was
by the way
I would not do this
for the record
but it was an interesting comment
and the comment said
you would have raised
a hundred million dollars
if it was a token
and I don't think
I would have raised
a hundred million
I'd be completely honest with you
no but you probably
would raise more
let's be right
oh are you can you imagine
like just let's ideate
but also I'm glad you didn't
no of course
just throwing all those in one sentence
I do not want to do it
but let's just ideate
just hypothetical for a second
just because it's interesting
if you were to
look at this
what was it slurf
slurf slurp
I don't even remember
what I didn't fucking
I was one of those
I think was slurp
and slurf
and slurf for the F
so it was actually
a very fair launch
right because all the tokens
for the presale
were burnt
so yeah those people
got robbed
but the launch itself
was very fair
to get the tokens
you had to buy
on the open market
and because such
it was such a cluster fuck
there weren't people
like sniping it
in the same way
that people sniped
the other tokens
so it was a shit show
and tons of people lost money
and the whole thing was bizarre
Jupiter and Meow
is not decentralized
it's not a fucking DOW
and just keep that in mind
when you fucking buy those tokens
no disrespect to them
but it's not a fucking DOW
if the owner
can just decide
to take protocol fees
and give them
to a goddamn rug token
that is not a fucking DOW
that is actually bullshit
the fact that they did that
and people were in uproar
but it got swept under the rug
because just
that's how the fucking
Salonica ball works
the point stands
it's the truth
it's the fucking truth
None of this is new though
this has been going on
since like the beginning of crypto
and this also goes on
in the government
it's just human nature
we are living
it kind of sucks
I'd love to take a step back
it's awesome that you did that
I think that when
we're talking about
your heart
was in the right place
and I'm really sorry
to hear about your family
and what you're going through
and I just wanted to say
good for you
and good for you
for using your platform
and I don't actually
think that charities suck
like personally
I don't think they suck
I think that
tax deductions happen
we want to be able
to control a little bit
of where our money's going
so I think that when
it all plays into capitalism
and the way
that these laws are set up
or actually set up
so people who understand them
can take advantage of them
and take advantage in a good way
and that just means
like they have to have
checks and balances
so fuck it
like when I saw you
were doing that
I thought the same thing
I was like
are you gonna have to
pay income tax
on that money
that comes in
or does it you know
go straight into the donation
and will you be able
to get a tax donation
because I think about this shit
too well like I'm thinking
about it all the time
and so I think
that it would be good
for you to
before you donate it
to be clear
on what your liabilities are
and then be public
about what that looks
like you know
and then say
okay well I'm gonna donate
this amount
and also like I think
there's lots of charities
that their whole job
is to promote
so like to your point
the fuck cancer one
I don't know
I don't know them
in particular
but some of these
like I know Blau
you probably know
a lot of the same
people that I know
and bands that go on tour
and they promote
their foundation
and then their foundation
will then donate
to specific charities
and a lot of it
is really
so they can be in control
of where their tax dollars
are going
you get to be a certain
at a certain tax bracket
and those decisions
become more important
I am not in that tax bracket
so I don't know
but I think it's fascinating
and I think that
if we're not scared of it
and we learn more about it
then we can kind of
move through the system
in like a better way
and to your point
maybe we do get
to change some things
maybe we help
some of these companies
get those
blah-de-blah
because it can happen
that's all
Yeah, Gentil was saying
before it's not
it's definitely
it's not hard
for the nonprofit
to actually do it
I think the issue
is that everyone
gets it's sort of like
what's going on here
which is like
everyone gets excited
about crypto stuff
and then like
the procedurals
it's all transparent
and on-chain right
and so the dilemma
I guess like
just because I
personally experienced this
like the dilemma
is just that
the law just isn't ready
for anything that's going on
like I guess that's like
the sort of
that's the sort of
end state here
is that like
there are no precedents
what Leap just did
like whether he really
owes income tax
before he can pay the check
it depends
it all depends
and it's all like
after an audit
well I mean
I don't know
I think it's all
little shit
it's income
and if you're paying it out
then it's
then you're donating it
so will he
owe income tax
I don't know
what I'm saying
what I'm saying
Lindsay is like
there are so
when you get into
at least having
having like
gone through this
personally
tons of different
different angles
and hoops
what I've learned
is that no
there isn't
really an answer
for and it makes sense
right there is no
KYC standard
for wallets
right there's no
that's accepted
by multiple governments
like OFAC doesn't
accept a wallet standard
so until that happens
like there's
it's always going to be unclear
unfortunately
but then there are like
things that you can do
to make it
as clear as
like as better
and then like
the question is
no matter what you do
a regulator
can still say
Ethereum is a security
even though they're wrong
and then like
someone else
right like
that's the dilemma
what I love about crypto
is it's an opportunity
to sort of
just do stuff
if Leaper
to set up a web
to go fund me
I guess it like
wouldn't necessarily
be harder
but like people
would be less inclined
to donate
who are in his community
and that's what's
like so cool
about this
is you can just like
do something
like this
and not think about it
and then like
and have to deal
with all the
I guess all I'm saying
is I fucking hate
the government
at least the market
worked in his favor
this time
he took in 85 grand
and it pumped
so he donated 100
oh nice is that
what happened
I think we
I think maybe
it was 15 grand
that went up
crypto went up
over the last day
actually now
salon is now 188
I'm looking at the chart
I'm about to swap
this all of the USCC
this market
is making me nervous
I know it sucked
to wake up
and this be like
for no reason
they could though
like in that factor too
like say you
like you were saying
if you do
take in a certain amount
and the market dumps
whatever your state
or province
you know income tax
versus donation ratios
or it's what's going to come down to
but the market could like
literally impact that massively
on a swing
no no for sure
maybe like a better way
to do it in the future
would be just like
just donate USCC
like just to specify that
only stable coins
and that could be
an interesting way
by the way
I knew that the tax thing
could be like a potential issue
by the way leap
I'll introduce you
to someone who can make
all the issues go away
but for now
the way I thought about it
was like okay
if for whatever reason
I have to pay $25,000 in taxes here
I'll just pay it out of pocket
no I promise you won't
and we'll figure it out later
but it's going to be good
but definitely convert to USCC
within 24 hours
because at least you'll have
a good argument there
because of banking hours
it's actually crazy
that we never really think of like
let's just do it in USCT
we're just a bunch of degenerates
on every other chain
well I mean
I just put a
I mean I got a bunch of stuff
some there was 350 bucks
someone donated $60 in Bonk
so like there was like
a bunch of like random things
that got donated
actually funny
because I was like
I wonder what would happen
if I sent some MOG
to this wallet
but I didn't want to
fuck around find out
so I didn't
and that's more valuable than gold
you want to hold on to that one
most importantly
did it give you
at least some time
where you weren't
like upset
about what's happening
like I think that
while the fundraising
is going on
it gives us a bit of escape
from the reality of
the way that I think about it
and I've done a lot of messages
like starting here
about your dad
and so on and so forth
I think for a really long time
I mean I'm distraught
right like it's not an easy
and I'm in LA
and I feel like a tremendous amount of guilt
like being across
I'm going back to
I've tried to go back
a few times already
so I'm going to go back again
not this weekend
but the following weekend
I'll be in Virginia
for a couple days
before NFT NYC
by the way
apparently NFT LA is next week
I haven't seen one tweet
besides Kevin's
like is that even
I don't even know
if that's happening anymore
to be honest
I'm like very at peace
for the situation
and so is my family
I mean we've been dealing
with this for a few years now
and my parents
could not be
like they could not be more proud
about like my brother and I
and like what we're doing
my brother's not in crypto
but he's doing like a lot
of tremendous things on his own
and they're very happy
yeah anyway I'll leave it at that
so I'm not as sad
as I used to be
now I just try to take that
and channel it
and do do things
that I think are good
and and that's a big part
of the the probably nothing thing
where like look I'm just going to
bull post myself
and in our group here for a second
and say we're going to be
the fucking biggest
media platform in crypto
by far it's not even going to be close
and we're going to do a lot
of really good things with it
like they could just
grab your fucking lations
because you've been talking to me
about this for a long time
and I'm just glad you finally got
your feet wet
you did some amazing shit today
and happy birthday dog
you deserve it
I appreciate you wow
and I will be seeing you this weekend
so excited for that too
let's go to the hands
and let's go to the hands
and there are other crypto things
I'd like to talk about too
just like in general
that fucking
it's been a shit show
over the past couple days
there's a lot of conversation
if you had again
thank you guys for coming to space
click that button
bottom right hand corner
like comment retweet
and yeah let's go to the hands
I want to throw it over to motivate
motivate good to see you
as always what's going on
word word
well it's good
I dealt with my dad
having cancer during the pandemic
and he beat it
but that was not the nicest of times
with everything slowed down
hectic in hospitals
I think you know
a lot of people don't realize
that you can fractionalize
your smart contracts
and it's something that we used to
talk about a lot during clubhouse
and we do have some curators
that have put together
art contests and more
that do do that
almost as if another tax line
where a percentage of every sale
goes to that thing
and on chain you see it
go to that thing
and realistically
like the lack of transparency
which charities and 501c3s
and nonprofits
is what has people afraid of
donating and dumping
because it's like
okay I gave my money
to these guys
and these girls
and what are they
actually doing with it
can I see tangible
practical results
and performance metrics
or whatever the hell
it's like
so the trust issues are already there
and unfortunately
or fortunately
trust issue
so I think more than anything
it's embracing the opportunity
and ability
to fractionalize transactions
and platforms
I would think like optimism
I have a perfect opportunity
to do that
to provide optimism
with every transaction
going to a cause
that is novel
but they don't want to hear that
base could do the same thing
with transacting
now under a penny
but you know
business is business
and Christmas is Christmas
and I think
there is this like
virtue signal thing
that's been going on
in crypto
for a very long time
where people do things
like this
for publicity
and PR and more
but if you do really
look into
this side of things
I would say
look into the AI
cancer research side
and there's a lot of people
out there
that are doing things
to provide solutions
to these very problems
and you could also
take a portion of the funds
and create a hackathon
dedicated to
or committed to
researching
and analyzing
medical technology
and building solutions
for the problems
I teamed up with
Harmony One
and we redistributed
over $250,000
to creators
through my new
friendship tech series
in downtown LA
and all they had to do
was show up
drink for free
and have a party after
and then they got rewarded
and left with cash in hand
so I would say
just think about
unique methods
of incentivizing
interaction
contribution
and action
A16Z is even doing
this right now
with their little
pop-up events
find a way of
gamifying it a little bit
and then think
about fractionalization
and smart contracts
and multi-sig wallets
because that is really
that's it
I appreciate that
and shout out to you
and everything
that you've done
and I absolutely
so my next idea
which again
is going to take me
a long time
take a year
to execute on
is pretty big
and it does gamify
and it does add
a lot of interesting
things into
into this thing
I have probably
like 15 calls set
up for the next week
I have every like cancer
like cancer AI
blockchain
whatever the fuck
everyone in my dm
so I have a ton of calls
that I need to go through
and just like a lot of meetings
like trying to
like people are interested
and if you have a platform
and you can use it
in the right way
like that's
that's kind of what's
necessary here
if you want to hit me up
like shoot me a text
I have a I'm advising
for a medical tech platform
that's doing crazy shit
with Starlink
and third world countries
and like it's all
using blockchain
it's all using
AI iterations
it's using a lot of things
and I think at the end
of the day
you have to also
understand people's
why why they're doing it
if it's just building
or if they're building
with intentionality
or if they're passionate
really unfortunate
side to the space
where you see
money getting sent
on fire every
fucking day
that you know
the genuine
and sincerity
and authenticity
attached to the money
and what's being thrown
around is
it's it's different
from web2
obviously
so you know
even some of the top
nonprofits in the world
are just like not
not there
for the right reason
so just be
very careful
but there are
regulations in place
and that's why
those specific
charities
like the official
so that way
and you get a tax
deduction
they're regulated
so they can only
you know people's
can only be
a certain percentage
of what is being
and here's the other thing
is people work
at charities
it's a job
they should get paid
i don't understand
if somebody's
dedicating their life
to like raising funds
and and doing
these things
it's like
why do they have to do it
the amount of times
i have been hit up
and i have done
things for free
because they're like
it's charity
it's for charity
and and i'm like
but wait a second
charities
that are actually
being run
and organized
and are being
have being checked
and are like
actually doing the things
that they're saying
they are doing
they actually have
marketing budgets
so they have
they have budgets
to do that stuff
it might not be
like fuck all budgets
they might not be
like huge
and you know
and then we get to decide
where we put our time
on our effort
and i think that
first and foremost
it's about like
go with your gut
do your research
and know that like
why you're doing it
donate to charities
that you really
really really
believe in
and you know
it's like
everybody's
vying for the dollar
that's for sure
because these people
really believe in it
i don't believe
that people go
and work for nonprofits
because they're bad people
i just don't
i refuse to believe that
i really really
really don't
sure there's some bad people
but let's not make ourselves
miserable by thinking
that everybody's horrible
no i don't think
i don't think
i don't think all charities
or anything like that
i just think there's
maybe like interesting
and i think there's
actually a lot of great charities
phenomenal charities
and just even in this process
i've been able to
just do a lot more research there
and there's a lot of good people
doing great things
i just think
you put the money
in the hands of crypto people
like maybe there's
some interesting solutions there
as opposed to just giving it
to the web2 people
and nothing wrong
with web2 people
i mean we're all web2 people
and in some aspect of our lives
but keeping it as
crypto native as possible
to me is interesting
and fuck it
ticker cancer
this was a presale
everybody's getting
to check your wallet
check your wallet
can you imagine
i'm telling you
you know how many dm's
i got there's
like launch the token
launch it
fuck you guys
no i'm not launching anything
be so rattled if you
launched cancer
before potato
that's insane
um i still think there's
people that think
it's gonna happen
but i can assure you
so anyway
alright we'll go to the hands here
and we'll go over to
to emily emily what's up
oh we gotta go to civil
right after
hey everyone
um first of all
congrats on raising
a hundred k
because that's
absolutely phenomenal
and i'm so proud of the space
for actually doing it
i think that's really
it speaks volumes
about what's being done
over here
and i think that's
it's amazing
i just wanted to
remind everyone
that it's not always
about the money
when it comes to this stuff
my dad's a doctor
my uncle's a doctor
both have done research
on cancer
and continue to
and um the
a lot of the problems
that they faced
and are facing
and a lot of people
a lot of doctors face
in the united states
is the regulation
on even research
like there's certain research
that you cannot do
in the united states
that would be
like crazy
like helpful
to like to solving
this issue
but it just cannot be done here
and so my dad goes to europe
a lot to do certain things
because he can't do them here
like it's it's it's kind of
i understand red tape
is there for a reason
but there are certain things that
that need to evolve
in our government
to allow us to evolve
our medical practices
and um and just and and
solve problems like this
because i i just don't
i mean i think that
yes there's money
you need to make money
to put into this research
but we have to change our government
like the platforms in our government
with medical
and pharmaceutical companies
like until we really solve that problem
like there are going to be
so many pieces of red tape
thrown and thrown in front of us
and you were saying it
a little bit earlier on in the space
about the pharmaceutical companies
make so much money
off of providing
which is basically poison for your body
for cancer
and it's ridiculous
and i i mean those pharmaceutical companies
are so freaking powerful
when it comes to like
government and litigation
that like how would a pharmaceutical company
want to really solve a problem
that's making them billions
and billions of dollars
so i think there's a lot of red tape
that's in the government
that's put up there
for cancer research
because they don't really want to solve it
like i i know that sounds very conspiracy theory
but this is why my father has to go overseas
to do research
so i don't know
there are great podcasts on this
by the way
there are great podcasts that talk about this
mark andresen has one that i think is really good
just throwing that out there
not to interrupt you emily
no emily i no sorry i was going
i was going on a rampage
anyway go ahead weep sorry
no i i totally agree
and i even mentioned it before like
the i think the noise
and the impact that we can make
by doing this in a crypto native way
can be even more effective
than whatever number of money
like however much money we donate
um because yeah like
there are billions and billions of dollars
being poured into
cancer research and treatment every year
and like it's not really getting us that much
like we are making advancements
like there's this new medicine
my dad's on that just got approved
that like has made his last couple
you know i mean like it's made him a lot more comfortable
so there is things happening
but i agree it's not just like
throw a billion dollars at this
and it fixes the problem
i mean that's why it's so complicated
and i'm not like i'm not a doctor
in any way
so i'm just trying to learn about it
as i go to
but uh i think i think the whole point
of this entire endeavor has just been like
like if you have an idea
and you think it's cool
don't be afraid to do it
and if you think it's for a good cause
definitely don't be afraid to do it
and i think way too many people
are afraid to like try things
on the blockchain
and i think that's bad
so uh can i just say one quick thing
one more thing
um just just to everybody in the room
this is why
and i know it sounds really stupid and lame
for me to say this
but this is why it's so important
to like really research the people
that you vote for in the United States
because different politicians
have different like views
on all of this stuff
and if you want something to change
it it starts with us
and it starts with us making noise
and it starts with us electing officials
that are going to make the change
and yeah so like i totally believe in that
i i want to believe that we have the
power to do that
so just just remember that
next time you go in to vote
if you even vote
but yeah thanks
appreciate you Emily
also i don't know if you guys are seeing
this deca dente thing
i guess he raised like 30 million
but he doesn't know how to add the LP
so he's like trying to offer people
200 dollars to add the LP
do you guys see these screenshots
that are being posted on the timeline
it's insane
that is absurd
30 million dollars what the fuck
yeah this by the way
this pretty so matter needs to die
like i think it'll become much more refined
and come back later on with more tooling
investing schedules and things like that
and maybe it can make sense
but but right now it's just so fucked
oh my gosh it's so fucked
so look i want to throw it over to to civil
civil what's up what do you think
hi um yeah i think so many things
i don't even know where to start
first of all thank you so much for
having this conversation
thank you so much for kicking it off
yesterday you have no idea
how much i appreciate you doing this
this yeah it means it means a lot
and i mean you are the person to do it
and yeah this is just like just come out
of nowhere and like one of those things
in web theater just like make perfect
sense when you see them
and yeah thank you so much for for
doing it honestly
i spend a lot of time with people
who would think about how do we make
doing impactful work profitable
how do you make it financially
attractive and i could name you like
probably at least five different
platforms like web3 native donation
platforms who have different
approaches on this and how it can look
like and how can we incentivize just
donating and like and then there's so
many others who think about like
business models behind impact work and
all that and of course
inter-centralized science like
about thinking about research and even
like how can we publish research and
make it like for instance encrypted at
first so that even if you put it on
chain and have it then in a mutable way
you can still be like oh yeah i want to
have this on chain with my name and
with a date and not changeable
but maybe in the year or in two i
actually will make it public and
until then it's encrypted
on chain and all of these interesting
things actually was a decent hacker
house recently that
i was at it was pretty pretty
interesting
um but just on the very practical
side of donating to non-profits and
getting a tax receipt every 501c3 in the
us actually does have
automatically generated without them
needing to do anything
a labeled smart contract on ethereum
um with the ein labeled um through
endowment.org which is actually also
non-profit themselves
so if you docked to them obviously to
get a tax receipt you need to docked
because yeah that's like two citizens
um yeah and you do get a tax
that's over a million non-profits and
they also have a couple thousand
international ones
they've been around since um 2019
at least i think even longer than that
started by an ex-apple employee
great team um super consistent
and i think it's like a one and a half
percent fee and they have like all
sorts of other interesting things like
don't advise funds and
those types of things especially when
you're thinking about converting it
like you can put things get the like
tax receipt now
and donate later to the actual causes
and in that time in crypto like maybe the
assets appreciate and stuff like that
and so like that interesting
instruments um that you can
that you can use that go beyond just
making one-time donation and also like
for instance on december 31st
when you're like oh i want to donate
this amount
but also i want to be very careful
about where i donate to
you can be like oh yeah let me put
this in this don't advise fund that i
and then let me choose in a few months
where this goes to but i still get the
tax receipt for this calendar year so
yeah whole bunch of stuff
um but those smart connects definitely do
exist and as soon as the donation comes
through endowment contacts are not
um and if they don't have a crypto
wallet and don't want to create one
they offer a bit to them um yeah so
one and a half percent
fee flat fee and don't listen on profit
themselves so
yeah whatever um and yeah proof of
donation all of these
things um i've been worked on actually
for instance last i think it was last
year if i'm
not mistaken the earthquake in syria and
turkey for instance
um there was another platform where
people if they donated to that
campaign they got a proof of donation
sole bond nft
and then there was a snapshot taken
like i think two weeks later or
something
um and everybody who held the proof of
donation nft
actually got air dropped out from nft
artists who were collaborating with with
with a specific platform which is also a
registered non-profit
in germany actually um the first like
crypto native
non-profit that's like also partnered
with coinbase and
um so yeah there are these things
typically
like crypto philanthropy is a small
pretty like web3 social impact whatever
term you want to use
is a fairly fairly small niche part of
it's amazing people there um i love it
but yeah um and also like there's this
niche of regenerative finance where
people like philanthropy is donating
um and regenerative finance is thinking
how can we actually like make this work
in a financial way that is not
necessarily just
donating that is like more financially
attractive and thinking about how can
make these crypto economics work
recently microfay came out about like
looking at finances in a mycelium um
kind of way um before that green cold
came out quite a while ago from
work use we had get kind anyhow i could
talk about this
for a long time
let me let me start but yeah thank you
so much for
for doing the space and um it's what i
what i think about a lot
over the last two years
now i appreciate you and i'll i saw i
just checked your dm so i'm
definitely gonna have to hit you up
and we can chat more about this further
and we can set up a call and i'm happy
to chop it up
because i'm definitely looking for
options i don't know if like the route
that i want to take is like strictly
philanthropy or if it's going to be on
you know some of the other sides of the
niche but we'll we'll figure it out as
time goes and um
everything that we do will just be like
done carefully and thoughtfully as usual
and um but yeah i appreciate you so much
civil thank you so much
um all right we're going over to lou
lou what's going on talk to me
dude what's good happy birthday um
super excited to see you in a couple
have a bunch of fun traveling going
back home
um how are you doing this man like
instead of fucking raising 30 mil on a
shitty token pretty silly you're
actually doing something good
um yeah dude drinks are still on you
even if that's just going to charity
when we're in new york so yeah i'm just
fucking happy birthday man
love you and just keep crushing it and
uh i will worked in esports before web
three so this is just full circle
watching you cook up with banks and
thread guys so super proud of you
appreciate you lou and that drinks
definitely on me um
yeah at the open bars drinks on you
yeah at the open bars at the clano
party at the clano party
um there's some cool part by the way
there's some really cool part there's a
there's an eclipse
mog party happening in new york as well
so shout out to eclipse and log um and
then i know you know we're rolling vip
oh dude of course what do you mean like
as if we don't hold enough of the
tokens to be able to
buy the whole party um i think uh so
new york's gonna be cool
again nptla is i don't even think that
i want to happen
is that a thing like what what happened
with nptla i remember i went last year
and um there's like three people in the
conference and it was insane
it was so empty but it was also pico
bear market
so that was probably something to do
with it so we'll see how it is um this
time around but i won't even be in la
for nptla so
enjoy i don't i don't even know any
projects that are throwing events
to be honest um so it's all kind of
riding on nftla new york and there's also
like token
2049 or something in dubai i think we're
going there and we're going to be
shooting some content too
um so i think that's the next one too
um also this this presale thing i guess
because i've just been caught up with
this donation thing i haven't really been
paying attention to the timeline
this decadente guy he look at this
screenshot this is insane
i gotta find it he's like posting on
legal forums
saying if i just take this 30 million and
do nothing will it can i go to jail
dude there's no like this is not a
serious industry
we are not serious people and i you
know the sad part is i fucking wish i
bought into the presale
because of how redacted this is i feel
like it's gonna fucking go crazy
like the same thing with the slurf
shit with
it's just stupid or something is i
feel like the better it does in this
industry which is so weird to think
um so i didn't participate in the
presale and nor will i buy the token
but it is it's gonna be interesting to
watch what happens with this thing if
it launches tonight or
or tomorrow or whatever i am done
with these fucking token presales or
trying to play them at all
if there is one that comes out that
seems like there's an opportunity then
but i just think that we've we've
kind of cooked the market here for a
little bit
um and it's going to take some time
before there's some opportunities there i
mean just in crypto in general
like nfts have taken such a big hit
um and there's just like so like the
metas changing are so fast
i feel like two months ago was the
angel round meta everyone's trying to
get their money into like different
rounds things like that
then obviously uh the tokens started to
we saw l1s start to pump heavy and just
like bitcoin eats a lot of all this stuff
going crazy
and then the meme coin thing starting
with bone
and that went absolutely insane and then
uh you know all these continued
presales so on and so forth
now by the way i like base i use
and i actually made a pretty profitable
trade on base last night i put like
point less than point one into
something like six days ago
on fucking on base and literally
just like checked it randomly last
night and it was seven eighths
it's like fucking bizarre so like there
are like opportunities there that are
i didn't sell for seven by the way
because i'm an idiot but
um there like there's like a lot of
opportunities on these like base coins
and there's a lot of them doing quite a
bit of volume
but then just randomly uh over the past
i guess like day i've seen every
single person talk about this rotation
and it's hard to say that it's not
coordinated
like i don't want to sit here and be
conspiratorial and say that it's like
the base cabal
i think the base people are just
promoting base as they should
but it is interesting to see how many
people have been tweeting about it
and um base seems to be like the
thing that's next up
or is already up
there's many many things that are
building on base
mini games so on and so forth and i'm
not gonna lie it feels good to operate
on base it feels almost identical to
you know transactions for pennies
instant swaps so on and so forth
um it is just kind of suck it like it
just kind of sucks to bridge money over
if you haven't done it before
and then bridging money out if you use
the official base bridge takes seven
which is absurd there are other ways to
get your money out that are quicker
but the official bridge takes takes a
minute which is
a little bit weird but
also the names of the meme coins on base
are so unrefined
like the the number one one right now is
like a pen that you write with and
that's the picture of the coins as a
and it's at a five mil market cap the
second one is
b shib which is base shiba
and it's just a blue shiba in you
and that was at 16 mil uh bo jack
which is base whoa jack so they
they're basically just taking all
existing memes
and then just adding like base and the
color blue to their branding
so i think until there's there needs to
be like a completely
original meme that spawns within the
base community
and that will be the winner but until
then all these derivatives i just don't
think are gonna
like this one's called button and
like what and it's it's logo is a
picture of an
what is this one that it's number that's
the number four trending one
dude you want to know what happened to
me today with meme coins i had hit one
in my fucking uni bot and one of and
two of my homies had burned these
and i found fucking 12 soul which is
fucking beautiful
i put point two see that's that's a
crazy thing about this industry too
like even these pre-sale things where
like people cook like 50 grand in a
day or whatever 100 grand whatever it
or i mean that dude that sniped the
shroom thing made nine million dollars
because you can like bribe you can like
bribe the validators on soul
you literally pay five hundred
thousand dollars
on chain to bribe the validator maybe
it wasn't on chain but
hundred thousand to bribe them and fucking
like get that transaction in
to be the first one to be able to
snipe you sniped 50 of the LP
50 is insane i've never seen anything
like that ever
um and the problem is it's like so pvp
like i don't need the only way for a
to stop that is if they snipe their own
token first
like maybe you could do something with
limited per like
have a limit on transactions or
whatever but the moment you start
adding complexity into the smart
contract people get a bit
pissed because they just want to be
able to buy as much as possible early
and if you limit the amount that people
can buy immediately then it slows down
volume makes it harder to trend so on
and so forth
so you're not incentivized to like do
that sort of launch you just want to
like full send it
but then you have to snipe your token
first as a team
which is like a like such a weird
um and truthfully most of the teams
launching the tokens
are not sophisticated enough to beat
these hardcore like mev arb like
crazy quant people that just know how to
do this shit on a different level
um so it's definitely not an even
playing field
in that regard to at all uh but it's
interesting to see how meme coins and
just coins in general
have become so accepted not by the
degens by
by the cabal by the i use that word
loosely but you know by the people
that are higher up or running chains
like you have founders of chains
like people who are like in high
positions at these ecosystems tweeting
and pumping these coins
because people are starting to realize
that there's not that much fundamentally
different
between a meme coin or culture coin
ecosystem
than with an nft like yes there isn't
individual art pieces associated with it
but now you have things like erc 404
which has become a little bit more of
a legitimate token standard
where there is art associated with it
but it's fractionalized and people
it's like the meme coin thing um
like i saw kevin made a tweet about
this earlier today in regards to doge
and how like the the doge founder
created doge which
was the first meme coin and then
started you know all this other stuff
and it makes me feel like doge is
underpriced
by the way i don't own any doge i don't
own it i might buy some
but it really is the original like it
started all of this shit there has to
be some sort of inherent value there
and uh yeah it's kind of insane what's
happening
with these meme coins because just like a
year and a half ago
they were looked at as taboo bullshit
gambling and while i still believe the
majority are bullshit and gambling
i think there will be winners that
come out of this cycle that with
flourishing ecosystems and communities
that really fuck with them and and
teams that
generally try to build and do cool
and i think that that should be
the problem is with the good comes
and um like there was a what was the
presale last night that rubbed instantly
was it called monkey that just like they
rubbed instantly went to zero
oh yeah like that that's crazy
that shit like that even happens it's
crazy that like nfts and meme coins
were at that level though it just
shows that like we literally all got
rubbed like there was actually
supposed to be utility attached to those
so i mean that it's yeah i mean the
thing is the majority of nfts that
were not strictly just art or
collectibles
um well it's just like they can't
like what could they deliver like
seriously like what can they
what can they look unless you're like
top tier elite like some of the like
luka has like a great team so i'm
like unless you're like a top tier
elite team
it's like impossible man like you
either have to have like the biggest
platform and be the best hype man
or just like have an elite team and
execute on some crazy utility the world's
ever seen
unless you can do that or if you have
like a 10k pfp collection
it is just so hard to get any movement
or momentum on it
because people don't like you go park
your money in an nft
and for most people like it's easy for
me to sit up here and say
you know the art the collectibles the
vibes the community that's why we're
but we've been in the space for a while
and me giving that take feels like a
boomer take
it feels like when my parents are like
oh back in our day like we didn't have
video games we just play with rocks and
sticks in the backyard
like we the vibes of the forest were
our video games
and now kids are like i want to play
like fortnite battle royale like
warzone give me as much stimulation as
um and it's the same thing now with
nfts versus versus the coins where it's
do we like expecting this new generation
of buyers coming in which
whether you believe there's a new group
of people in or not is completely up to
but expecting them to believe it in this
ideology of like community and vibes
and so on and so forth when the og
community doesn't even represent that
ethos anymore
is is a hard sell it's like a very
hard sell
especially when you can fucking throw
point one point two soul to one soul
into every fucking shit coin and have a
chance of
of actually hundred exit like that
it's such a hard sell to do anything
um now for us like god dude i
god i remember when i remember the days
a year ago
you used to get dunked on for being oh
man it's so good time flies
wait what why was i getting dunked on
no no no just me like it just being a
salon a maxi
it's dude it's crazy to see how quick the
narrative changes
when liquidity flows in i mean i do i'm
not like i'm not going to sit here and
like dig right fucking salata i think
salon is great
and i think that it has like it's
going to be the de facto chain in my
opinion for
for coins and things like that which
by the way
some people sweep under the rug is not
true value
i i don't agree i think i think coins
meme coins culture coins
like they will end up becoming more
sophisticated more refined
and they will end up being cool things
so having a chain that's really good at
doing that stuff
plus all the other stuff that salana
does but let's like there's tons of
like legitimate real builder projects on
but let's be honest right 90 of the
is coming from the meme coins and that's
totally fine i don't think that
should be looked at as a bad thing
different chains for different things
and but my problems with salana are top
down in the culture it's still
fucking centralized dude like i
people can come up here and and talk
about like
but that the nakamoto coefficient and
and this and that it's a culture thing
dude it's a conditioning thing like i
can give you specific examples
like you go to soul scan or most
things are closed source
soul scan does not show you code for
most things
and then also from the culture standpoint
you have leaders of the salon industry
like meow and nothing but respect for
i think jupiter is an amazing product and
they've done a phenomenal job and
honestly it's probably their dog that's
it's so wild that they're bailing out 10
you're not the only that's just
no i mean that it's wack dude and again
nothing but respect for them and their
team and jupiter is an amazing product
in my opinion contributed heavily to the
growth of of the salon coin ecosystem if
not almost entirely
um but the fact that they can just make
a decision
for the dao when the entire point of
the dao and holding the token is
consensus
and they can just say hey the protocol
fees we're just going to distribute
to the fucking rut like this token that
burnt 10 mill
like yes it's great that the holders
get made whole
but it validates the fact that you can
get bailed out if you and by the way i
don't think he burnt that 10 mill on
accident like let's
like call it a tinfoil hat or whatever
it was like
i thought it was initially i've changed
my mind is the best marketing stuff
i've ever seen like nobody can be that
oh i was saying like that's that's
this cycle's meta last cycle the devs
just died
this time they got a little smarter
they're burning LPs and doing all
kinds of stuff
yeah i mean look at this um deca dante one
the they're posting screenshots of him
on legal forms
asking if he can legally take 30 million
that he brought like
that's not like this marketing bro is
fucking marketing and it's amazing
marketing like city we're sitting here
talking about
so it just it literally reinforces this
and that's the thing like the culture
is is centralized like forget the tech
and that's fine but for certain things
ethereum is still going to be better i had
a conversation today and
and i hate to go to the solvers east
thing because i'll be completely honest
my soul bags are significantly bigger
than my eth bags at this point
and honestly i feel way more comfortable
that way i think soul has an easy four
to five x in it
where ethereum probably has like a two
to three x if we're really lucky um
and that's just my opinion that's just
my opinion that not i'm not a great
trader like
go a great great great opinion
i'm just saying i'm not a great trader
but i love holding soul and i think soul
is awesome and it feels really great to
operate on and
i don't have to bridge and and do all
these things and i have so i have two
mad lads and
i'm a massive i was skeptical at first
but i'm a massive fan of the salona
ecosystem and
i think also the salona community is way
better than the eth community
they're just way more based the honest
it's just like a whole different vibe um
but i had this conversation with
somebody earlier today
on whether or not eth has a narrative or
not and i know we've gone through this
a thousand times
so i guess we don't really have to
rehash it but
oh dog i'm trying to get my eth bags up
like it's inevitable for both of them
to go up dog i want more bitcoin
and more salona i think that's just like
the goal at the end
yeah and i've been thinking i totally
and i've been thinking about it too like
about what price i want to buy things
or whatever
i just like the fact that i have more
soul more eth and more bitcoin than i
did a year ago
and much more well i'm not a
millionaire like i
like there are some people like i
didn't cook on bone the way that other
people like there's people making like
a shit ton of money
um but like as as long as you keep
stacking and it'll just like eventually
um and the the amazing thing about this
cycle too so far that we've seen
is all these people that were grinding
in the bear market
a lot of my friends who including me
that were down
horrendous tremendous diabolically
treacherously down
got the thesaurus out tonight um all
those people that were down
have made decent money they've made
good plays and they've been active
and they've gotten on pre-sales or they've
bought tokens at
hundred acts and um yeah like people
deserve it for
if you've been in the space this long
you definitely deserve the wins
and i think there's no shame in making
money and
i think there's like a lot of taboo
around it but like i say this every
space to say it again now
you need to try to make as much money
as possible this cycle in an ethical
way but like really try to run it up
and then do cool things with your
platform and
and do cool things with uh with the
money that you make so
um it's but it's just like a full-time
like the the two nights that i took a
in the past week like massive things
have happened where people make a lot
so it is this like constant battle of
do you sit in front of your computer
or do you just try to like dca into
things you believe in like
there's many different strategies
people are taking right now but
um oh also by the way i'm not sponsored
by them at all i would love to take a
sponsor but from them so hit me up
but this cube thing on solana is
interesting too i've seen a lot of
um talking about that as well so
there's just like new
new products coming out too that
people are excited about
um and a lot of people like even
people telling me recently about like
stars arena and like they're super
um it's like a good it's a good time
to be active so anyway
all right we're going to aliens
aliens what's up hey i'm glad uh i got
back up here
i had rubbed a couple times um just
wanted to
yag your flowers and it's like amazing
for i have this from the back to the
beginning of the space uh
what you did for just raising one of
putting this on shane uh just yeah i
want to bring it back to
um just been bumping fuck cancer uh by
young thug
getting that going um but yeah i just
really appreciate you actually getting
the ball rolling because i think yeah
on-chain assets like
tkp was saying i really will rebuild
the trust
because i thought that for a long time as
well it's like over time too just
uh on-chain assets being able to track
everything i think it's just
psychologically uh ideologically over
time going to rebuild
the idea that people can give back
because like over time people just kind
of lost that trust they're just like oh
why would i give this charity like i
don't know where it's going
it's kind of become a thought when
people enter like giving to a charity
sometimes which is the fact that
that's even if the artist kind of
just rough so if we can just get rid
of that that'd be positive
um i was very frustrated because i was
trying to find this
old ted talk of uh this guy using
basically
he turned a eye scan into a video game
basically
and then gamers in between um i think
league of legends games would play
the game just for like five minutes
game and basically it was just this eye
that was turned into a map that looked
like a alien map
and basically they were able to use
the mass of
scale just uh individual gamers to help
map the cancer i think in the eye
um so it was just to me it blew my mind
as far as just a mechanism to utilize
to actually have positive impact
it was just like kind of wild to me
just because they didn't even
actually know that they were doing
they were just playing a game in their
head it's like this cool alien map
um i think of quite a few people who
actually spoken to
retroactive public goods now but yeah
i mean it would just be beautiful to
systems be built that would actually
utilize the degenerate liquidity and
degenerate to actually give back to
some sort of positive feedback with
positive systems
would be just amazing but yeah i think
you've made the first step here just
by making it happen and just want to
a lot of props to everything you got
going here
and belated birthday and lots of love to
the family
sorry that you're going through that
i appreciate you aliens yeah no
hopefully
people can can look at this and like it
like i think the best case scenario
realistically even if i never do
anything again like this
who knows maybe um i think the best case
scenario is
that other people get inspired and say
fuck like let's we can let's go try to
make an impact let's try to do
something cool and make some noise
um so that would be great you know and
i'm thinking about
you know ways that they can
approach this and you know raise some
money for a good cause or
whatever it is i also think it's like
very possible that it gets diluted
and like i think running something like
this often wouldn't work
i think it i think it really only
worked for
for a couple reasons one of them being
that the presale meta was a thing
like let's be honest the whole put a
wallet address and like that was a big
part of it
um and then the second part was the
fact that like i have art that's
being distributed with this so it was
like kind of a two for one
um and then also the fact that i've like
built up trust over like years in the
ecosystem so i think
like as an individual people need to
trust you believe that you're going to
do the right thing
or it just doesn't work um which is so
bizarre right because in crypto it's
fair it's like don't trust verify but
like for something like this
trust is a big part of it um but
people are sending 30 mil to fucking
decadante that doesn't know how to add an
lp and is trying to pay
200 on fiber to get somebody to do it
this is insanity
and i'm i guess i i didn't buy the
presale i'm not gonna buy the token but
i'm going to be watching with popcorn
and a drink ready so
um yeah this space is is an
i think it was thread guy that made a
tweet that said something like
maybe it was thread guy maybe it was
somebody else but
um it like there's no more entertaining
of an industry
or like any video i could watch on
youtube any show on netflix outside of
love is blind because that show is go
to any show besides that
anything you could watch entertain
okay i'll just say it for this season
though jimmy i don't know what his deal
was and then also trevor
bro like they i love this show
i don't know i'm obsessed and i hate
reality television
i don't know if they like like they i
mean they did him
they did him dirty for sure but like bro
you did not you did not help yourself
like imagine going into love is blind
and like texting your side piece like oh
babe i still love you like trust me
like i'm gonna be here on the end and
then you go in there and you're like
telling like five different girls
no i'm here for you i'm here for the
experience and then you finish and
then literally on the way out you're
he's just a lumberjack he's so burly
like he just has a big heart
anyway um okay what was that i want you
to go on that show
i'm not going i love what you love leap
on that show
did you imagine do not know why no no
what am i going to talk to them about
the decentralized
probably not all probably nothing crew
all three exactly right right guys
it's so funny
the right guy on uh probably um i'm not
probably nothing love is blind would be
who was the other guy too was jay what
was his name
was it jay i feel like i've only watched
like six episodes i got really
i was like a very time suckage sort of
sort of thing so i took a little break
but now i think i need to go back in
i know his name is clay his name is clay
yeah he went every like he's like babe
i love you so much and she's like oh like
that's amazing i love you too
but i'm really afraid i'm going to cheat
on you they're just like sitting like
watching a movie he's like snacking on
some pop coins like this movies
this movie is so good like that the
cinematography but like i'm really
afraid i'm going to cheat on you like
every every five minutes and she's like
what the fuck like what are you what
are you even talking about we're not
even talking about anything related to
that he just
but he was still one of my favorite
characters um
yeah it was a great season and the
reunion was insane
they really did a good job on this one
and i also just i also don't know how
i have time to watch all these shows
but i i watched i just finished a show
called the trust
on netflix i'm just like a sucker for
reality tell i love watching people
interact there's just something about
it that's so
what happened when when jimmy saw
the girl that he was going to choke when
he saw that was like where i left off and
god jimmy jimmy the one who said like
when you see me
you're going to choke because i'm so hot
no he he basically he stayed with chelsea
why are we talking about he stayed with
and they ended up i think they're still
dating right now which is cool um
we raised a hundred thousand dollars for
very different cancer but yeah
well i mean look i mean i already i
listened to the first hour and i did an
hour long monologue
it's true it's true it's just funny that
we're getting to this
the reality i also just watched a show
called the trust where basically it's
actually kind of insane
um it's like 10 people and if one
person votes for anybody else
that person's eliminated it's like one
and they have to like trust each other and
try to get to the end of the challenge
and if they all survive till the end
then they split like half a million
dollars or whatever
but if people get eliminated then they
split it between less people
it's like i don't know i thought it was
gonna be really stupid but i it's a
great show so i recommend you guys
watching it
um and then it's like it's like they're
all in the corporate office
and they're trying to get each other
it's metaphorically metaphorically
metaphorically um leap did you ever watch
terrace house
no i i you know what i've heard of it
i've heard of it i haven't watched it
i haven't watched it yet um also jersey
shore is a great one too
and the worst one is jersey shore by
the way is a cinematic masterpiece
and anybody who doesn't agree just
understand art it is the finest
performance and the finest casting
that's ever been done in the history
of humanity
and um snooki will go down in history as
the number one content creator of all
um i think she's launching an nft project
it's like 10 000 generative snookies
it's insane i don't know if you guys
saw that but
okay that's not a real thing but if
she she launched it we're gonna run it
um there was another there was one more
thing i wanted
that she was gonna she's launching
that coin snooki coin yeah snooki coin
there okay back to the crypto stuff
the founder of whale markets i don't know
if you guys saw this
he did the the presale thing as well and
i think they raised like 30 mil and
they're using it to
i don't even think there's a token like
they're using it to build their
products so there is
there are ways to utilize this presale
that makes like in a way that makes
but it's very easy to just grift and
just like take advantage of the
situation and just like raise a bunch of
money and fucking burn the lp and then
play a 12 second crying clip on spaces
to 10 000 listeners and
and then send the token to a billion
dollar market cap you degenerates are
insufferable
this is why this is why this industry
cannot be taken seriously can you
imagine the traditional financial world
they're begging crying for a 5
gain on their fucking
nvidia stock or their google stock
and then they just like look at crypto
goes to a billion dollar market cap does
two billion dollars in volume
and by the way the funniest thing
you're gonna see this in the vlog that
we put out in the next couple days
so brice hall and i like no
disrespect to brice hall in any way
we're sitting at um i'm at the house
and we're sitting we're just like we're
on our laptops we're cooking trading
like coming up with content whatever
and uh we're just on twitter i'm like
yo threat
and i'm gonna say the name
do not go fucking interact with this at
all but i mean it's like don't go buy
but it was like slurf's uncle earth and
it was like the whole lore was like
this was the uncle to slurf
and it was so fucking stupid dude like i
explain to you how stupid it was how
like idiotic it was and the art and
how ridiculous it looked
and brice hall quote do we say he's
like i just sent ten thousand to this
free sale like don't
fade the uncle some shit like that
which by the way
he did not bro they probably gave him
the ten thousand dollars that he put in
that fucking thing
and i look at the i look at this the
full address
it was like ten thousand and two
and i like tell thread and banks are
like you know you gotta like look at
this this is insane
banks goes under and he's like whatever
he comments underneath it and by the
way the post had like 40 likes
he comments underneath it he says
whatever they're paying you bro it's not
enough stay safe cousin call me or
something like that
and it did like three thousand likes to
the fit like just a hardcore ratio
we're laughing we're joking about it
on the pod
or on the vlog is so stupid i go back
and check it
like five six hours later it's like
three hundred thousand dollars donated
some like insane amount of money
and or not donated like put into the
and um anyway i just thought it was so
fucking stupid you can probably find
find the post somewhere on twitter but
anyway shout out to earth apparently the
uncle of slurf
um okay anyway
anyway shout out to everybody we have 600
people in the space here appreciate you
guys so much
um if you're looking to uh for me to
like explain anything about like the
donation stuff we talked about it like
two hours in the beginning of the space
so you can just go back and listen to
the recording
but for the people that are joining now
thank you so much for everybody that
did donate i just picked out a new
cyber truck
i got the founder's edition um you guys
and you're bringing me to miami right
yeah we're going to miami or we're
we're spending it we're splashing it at
um but no in all seriousness it was uh
this surpassed all expectations that i
could have ever imagined and
it was an amazing thing that we did as a
community and
um excited to get the art out there and
put it in the hands of the people that
and maybe in six months we we try
something like this again but in in
more of a
innovative way so is this is this still
an opportunity for me to donate
yeah i mean you can still donate but
the 24-hour cutoff period is over so only
who donated within the 24 hours will get
but like let's be honest i i mean like i
don't think the arts gonna have that
much value
um i don't think anybody's looking at a
leap art as you know people or x copy
so i'm sure you'll be able to pick
some up on on the secondary for like a
dollar or some shit like that
especially because there's i i is
probably gonna be like a dollar or
there was there were people just spamming
transactions on the wallet just like
thousands of transactions for 0.01 and
things like that so i'm gonna have to
kind of figure out an interesting
approach into how to solve for that
but that's what you know it didn't
happen on eth
it didn't happen on eth that's all i'm
gonna say it happened on souls so uh
lucifer i'm gonna blame you on this
dude i'm happy for you to blame me on
that one i was actually hoping you'd put
a bitcoin address there
ah i you know some people some people
were telling me to
add a bitcoin address um
yeah i don't know i don't know it felt
like i was already over complicating it
by having to
because like again when i distribute the
nfts now i have to solve for the
issue of it being on two different
blockchains and things like which is
i got devs working on it it's all
but if it was on bitcoin too it's like it
becomes even more complicated and
but the one of one will be on bitcoin
to the one i can't wait to go to miami
thanks for saying that in front of 600
people and if you don't expect a nice
did i mean i stood there happy birthday as
blackmailed
on your birthday there's people who
think it was
like a scam and things like that and
that's totally fine again there were
comments underneath it like
you i hope you get cancer like bro
dude that's so fucked up i love you to
bits i'll be sad if that happens
that means it's like there's always
going to be people commenting shows
where can i donate right now uh well i
mean it's the same wallet address
that's um
that you're all by the way like we
already don't we already got 100k so we
don't need to
if you want to donate more you're
obviously welcome to do so
um but i'm i'm very happy with what we
got i will pin it at the top if people do
want to see the original tweet
um the craziest thing was that within
five minutes of me putting the original
tweet out
there were fake leap accounts posting
addresses trying to like scam people it
was insane
within five minutes people are sick but
anyway hopefully nobody got scammed
because you found more they're all
did what i don't know let's go to
do you uh can you post the address where
this is in the uh
the institute oh it should be hold on we
should be at the top
oh wait richard also just posted the
okay do not send it to that to the
second pin tweet because that's the
uncle earth shit
but if you do want to see the the
ridiculousness of it you can click
that second pin tweet um i just pinned it
that's the original tweet that i put out
and um those are the addresses for for
you won't qualify for the art but obviously
everything is appreciated
okay ethan dress whoa hold on this is my
artistic expression okay like
this is my artistic expression
so it gets wild bull market rolls
around and everyone's an artist
oh my god this is great have you seen
uncle earth okay
if you've seen uncle earth but we gotta
take this down because people are
it's just so funny that bryce hall did
this like he just like came out of
nowhere and just decided to start
fucking promoting uncle earth
so anyway and again there's a lot of
jokes about uncle earth in the vlog
that is not us pumping in none of us
fucking donated to the presale i gotta
stop saying donating
i'm like my mind is conditioned to like
what we did these not donations these
these fuckers are trying to
you know um okay let's go to the hands
talk to me what's up
hey um i wanted to say uh so sorry to
your dad about your dad
my mom also currently fighting lung
so i definitely feel you but
obviously um i just want to say leap
such a big courage about um the whole
community
because when last year when uh we found
out my mom got lung cancer in
october um i was basically like really
and um but i didn't have the courage to
do like community donations and stuff
like that because i was really scared
what people
might say um but yeah crypto really
changed that though
i cash out everything i save up um
over two and a half year trading and
then that saved my mom
obviously um but yeah um
everyone's kind of contribute to
leaves father surgery um i hope like
everything's fine and here it covers
but yeah i'm really really sorry it
happened and
fuck cancer i agree fuck cancer and i
appreciate you more if i'm sorry you're
going through that with your family you
can DM me anytime and if there's
anything that i can do to help just
just please let me know
i i do want to clarify though the
donations are not going to my dad
they're going to a cancer charity
um just just to clear i there might
have been some confusion about that the
money is not going to to me or my family
just going to charity
um if i even like i told my dad that
that i was doing this and that he was
like what like why would people even
like doing
like it doesn't even make they were
shocked that we even
that we raised any money um let alone a
hundred thousand but again more if
you're the fucking goat you've been
supporting our space for
two years at this point and again DM
me and if there's anything that i can
do to help
um i'm happy to to contribute to you or
your family in any way that i can doing
doing better now
after jupiter arojos oh okay all right
yeah i was because after okay here's the
story after like
like my mom searching back in uh
singapore in uh december i basically
like start again
i feels like i start again after i
cash out everything like 90 of what i
from trading obviously and then uh i
start with a couple
thousand trading perp again and then
luckily jupiter airdrop happened i got
eight thousand um
tokens so that was like i run it back
from there until now
so everything's good now thank you so
much let's fucking go
let's fucking go i mean look i gotta
give credit to me out in that whole
ecosystem
a lot of people printed not me um
it's a minute yet but a lot of people
made really good money there so shout out
to you more
um and jupiter's like i think over a
dollar now or close to a dollar so it's
been doing very very well
obviously i have my criticisms with the
whole doubt thing they did recently
but jupiter's sick and i use it
every day
um also i'm gonna pin this up to the
top so you guys can read it it's so
someone just sent this to me um this
this is from j who is the co-founder of
which is you know that they did say
blockchain and everything
uh the one that beanie talks about
quite a bit
and they he put out this tweet does
always be deeply skeptical of projects
raising mega rounds 50 million plus
lots of hype pre-launch very few
examples of successful ecosystems getting
built afterwards
look at the comments it's just getting
dunked on
the first one is mf first stop
selling and actually pump your dog shit
shit coin instead of talking shit to
every other project all day
the next comment still time to delete
the next one is 30 million funding from
vc with mega hype pre-launch
that's them they fucking received 30
million funding
literally every comment is them just
dunking on this guy um
so i know a little bit of a of its
attraction from what we're talking
about but i thought it was pretty
funny you guys can check it out at
i mean it's probably his pfp is goku
he should be coming up a little bit
stronger than what he's doing now
um also i i have no exposure to the say
ecosystem i don't even know if
someone get wait leave you don't know
bowl trapper
bowl trapper tell me
yeah uncle bowl trapper is basically my
role model
is he friends with uncle earth
this uncle earth thing question leave um
the the landing address for the eith
wallet is
is it the one with the five eith in it
yeah it should oh it looks like somebody
sent more there wasn't five eith last
time i checked
but yeah how much you raised so far um
about a hundred thousand
okay i'm going to send you about eight
thousand right now
whoa okay you don't have to do that
that is way too much money dude
why i mean that's just that's a lot
dude you don't have to do anything's
appreciative but that that's a fuck ton
that would be the biggest donation we
actually i'm sending you 2.3 right now
holy shit dude
holy shit that's insane
yo shout out to you that's fucking
actually that is the biggest by far
because before it was 1.8 which was
still a massive donation
um so shout dude shout out to you
holy shit
yeah that is a lot that puts us close
to like 110 000
raise and basically 25 26 hours
you're the fucking go dude
all right it should uh it should just
come there in exchange
should get there in like 15 times
jesus christ well i will send you some
art personally for myself too so
because you absolutely deserve it that
is you bro
that is insane thank you so much guys
please give coa follow that's
that's incredible man seriously i i love
what you're doing
and um it's important that you know
we all give back you know we're all
sitting here
you know printing into the money and
it's really it's really important
there are people out there they're
really struggling
and um we got to share we got to give
that's true um hope po
i really don't say that we have it easy
it's not easy to make this money but
yeah you know
we we do we don't know about others but
but i'm the time person who's like uh
who's like if if someone's for a need uh
needed money for food and stuff i would
say no i can never say no people for
people who ask money for food
because i have like really like a
couple people who's like in the end
sometimes like
they're like um more can i have $50
for food i'm really struggling and
stuff like that
well that's like reasonable if
they're using that money to gamble or
do drugs that a different story but
never say no for people that ask for
because that's like the the least thing
that you could do as a
good human being yeah speaking of
asking for food po you just funded no
boo for the next three weeks for me so
really appreciate that
um i'm just kidding dude i seriously
thank you man that is
that is incredible um every dollar helps
and and honestly it's
yeah i mean that's the biggest
donation by a large fucking metric
so thank you thank you so much and
please guys follow po support him and
you know that that's insane i don't even
know what i'm honestly speechless dude
like see and this is what i was talking
there is a large amount of generosity and
good people in the space
and we're way too focused on like oh
this presale raised all this money and
everyone's back
like there's genuinely good people in
the space that fucking care
and po i appreciate it and i genuinely
mean that from the bottom of my heart
thank you um eight thousand dollars is
not a small amount of money
and um let's make a fucking impact man
i appreciate you bro i hope i hope you
change people's lives with this money
please please i this to me this is so
am i gonna change the world with this
no but you know what i think i can do
is the next time we do something like
which it's going to take me some time
because i have a much bigger idea of
what i want to do
and like really just tap into what i
makes like the degenerate side of
crypto so interesting
and i talked about this in the beginning
of the space too
i i believe the way like i don't know
if it's straight charity is the answer
or straight philanthropy
or if it's decentralized science or
but i think the key here is like why do
give so much money to presales because
there's profit to be made
that's good right that's the alignment of
incentives is that you support
something with your capital or your time
and you get rewarded
now unfortunately most presales are bad
and people lose money
so there is going to be outliers so on
and so forth
but i think if you adopt that mindset
that ethos
into whether it's like the public goods
funding stuff or charities or whatever
like however you decide to approach
specific problems
with that within that niche of web
in the process of them doing the right
thing and the right thing
is subjective but to me the right thing
is anything that progresses the cause of
the group
which in this case what we were doing
was donating charity
cancer research so on and so forth
so if you can find a way
to incentivize people to do the right
thing to donate to contribute their time
money and effort
into some specific cause and also make
them a bag
that's how you start to fix
like that is what's the very interesting
so i experimented with this one with the
with the art drop and i said okay i've
never done art before this is my genesis
thing whatever
let's give this to the people who donate
let's be honest like i'm not like a big
famous artist i don't
think people are going to value my art
in any substantial way
but the concept was there which is you
get something that you deem
slightly valuable to whatever extent that
in return so how do you scale that up
in a in a tangible way i'm not
entirely sure
i have some ideas but whenever we're
ready to execute on something like this
on a higher level
i think we can go way bigger than what
we did this time
and make some real fucking noise and i
that this gets reported on by the media
entities within the space
we talk about it in our next probably
nothing vlog quite a bit
and that will hopefully have an
but to me that's the best case scenario
i know we're not going to solve the
problem with this money
but we need to make noise and show
people that in crypto
if you do the right thing in an
innovative way
you can help people and um i don't have
all the answers but we're going to
try to figure it out as we go
thank you paul
anytime bro anytime bro i appreciate it
i appreciate you too
um let me let me check the wallets
uh it's gonna it's gonna take some time
for that money to get there
it'll be like 20 30 minutes
i need to fucking stable up this this
money too
like solana's dropping i mean i got to
stable this up right now so i was
gonna do it earlier
i need to do it now i need to just
transfer it to usdc
it's fucking solana um well wolf you
have your hand up wolf what's up
what's up y'all yeah no it's it's
charlie over at the ecosystem but i was
just gonna um you're talking about like
i hope some some good kind of pushes the
space forward
i really feel like after watching you
know mr beast and like
everything that's changed i realize
he's mr beast y'all like i get that
but like you know just like watching him
completely change the face of what it
is to be a youtuber and just to go out
and be benevolent
so i don't know i just feel like it
can't be obviously you know we're not
doing 200 million views but
you just i don't think you can
overstress each person doing something
especially too for you leap like you
know you're you're
pretty influential in the space so i
feel like it does definitely make a
drop in the hat towards
you know people kind of leaning that
and i feel like if everybody kind of
jumps on the bandwagon especially if
there's like
um a start to it because you've kind of
lean for a while like i remember jumping
on the kick streams a while back and
you know you you never really wanted to
you're like man i don't want to be a
founder i'm not trying to do all this
like there's just a lot of pressure
there's a lot of stuff into it
and um so no i think this is this is
the right way to do it you know it
keeps it clean between all parties
involved and you kind of proliferate
and spread that good so and even
from like a personal sector
my um yeah my dad's battling cancer
right now too and my mom just got
diagnosed with cancer today so
it's just uh close to the heart so i i
appreciate uh
you doing the student i appreciate
everybody so
yeah anyway
thank you and and prayers to you and
your family and let me know if
there's anything i can do to help
um yeah i think for a long time i was
very scared of doing anything on the
blockchain
and uh you know i've tried to do things
before and it's it's very difficult
but now i have a lot more confidence and
this was a like blouse said it earlier
in the space too
which is like like leap you made that
first step like you dipped into the
you dipped your toes into the arena
and i think like the moment you do
something it
like now i feel very like now i'm
comfortable it's like i've jumped in the
the water was cold and it's warm now like
i feel good
and i still have to like execute on the
art drop and make sure it's like
distributed in the right way
solve for the because again there were
multiple things that i did
not correctly like it should have been
one blockchain instead of two because
now it's fragmented between two i have to
solve for that
um i didn't i didn't set a high enough
limit so we got simple attack and
people spammed the the wallet with like
thousands of transactions
um and then also like there might have
been like more interesting ways to roll
it out so
there were like a i i have to write up
like a whole post-mortem
and and post it tomorrow for anybody who
does try to do something similar like
they can learn from from some of those
i i think it's interesting and for i
i've made a few tweets about this too
like i've always wondered like what
what my purpose for the for the space
host is the fucking end game i just like
genuinely don't
i think it's build a massive fucking
platform and then i'm going to do
something pretty cool
and i think it's going to be focused on
and like it's not like i fucking 10
years ago was like oh i'm so
dedicated to
to solving cancer whatever but it
then the way it's affected me i'm just
like damn dude
this is traumatic and there's like and
think about how many people on stage
tonight are like multiple probably like
seven or eight people came up and said
family member direct family member has
cancer and
this is a fact i will i lost my
grandmother cancer a few months ago
yeah i'm so sorry to hear that i'm so
he battled she battled for 40 years
she battled that cancer and it got her
i'm so sorry to hear that so i'm very
touched by your story
and um that's why i'm doing this i
appreciate you
no i really do and um i'm so sorry to
and if there's anything i can do if you
just want to talk whatever and that goes
for everybody in the room
i know it's all good thank you bros life
you know it sucks and it's unfortunate
she's in a better place now and um
you know we just have to accept it
for what it is
and fuck cancer i agree fuck cancer um
and that's kind of where i'm at with it
too now i've just kind of like
accepted it and
you know it's part of it um but we've
become way too desensitized to
like this just being a normal part of
life and that's a shame
and um maybe we can i don't know maybe
we can do something to help
like this is a great first step
hopefully it inspires other people to
it all comes down to what we put in
our bodies
yeah the problem is we eat like the
worst fucking food and everything's
plastic oils all this stuff that we're
eating all these
it's disgusting and it really has a
it really has an effect on our bodies
and people don't notice it you know but
you gotta start eating clean start
eating healthy
you know start eating avocado oils
um extra virgin olive oil
cut out the soybean oils cut out
anything that comes in the box you know
start eating more meat
eat more fruit more vegetables organic
no pesticides all that stuff all that
stuff kills you bro
all that stuff that's where cancer
comes from all the shit they're putting
in our foods
literally just finish the fucking
chick fillet meal moments before
getting on the space so i definitely
don't appreciate um
hey it's your place bro i don't know
what they put their place
it's and let me tell you something else
it's god's chicken all right so i know
god's not putting cancer
crazy cadence is better though
oh look i came up here i came up here
to glaze leap for a second um and then i
don't want to get distracted um
yeah dude you know i i'm proud of you
for it's super fucking scary to launch
something especially right now um you
i launched a project last year and it's
just absolutely fucking mortifying
anything that can go wrong could go
you're you're putting your you feel like
you spent so much time like
building your reputation in the space and
you feel like it's best if maybe i just
don't do anything because then i can't
fuck it up
but i think you know life is about
trying shit and doing stuff you're
passionate about and like we are all
early in the space
so you know there's only like fucking
130 people here so
if you want to try something and
experiment
you should so long as you have good
intentions um and obviously with your
drop leap
pretty good fucking intention is probably
the best intentions of any drop that's
ever come out uh
on the blockchain so i think uh
yeah man it's it's awesome and
hopefully it inspires more philanthropy
uh grifting and kind of an interesting
thing you brought up that kind of
threw me for a loop talking about like
adding speculation and degeneracy to
donations like what a what an
interesting theory and how sad that
people in the space need to be tricked
and manipulated into just not
you know into giving money but you
might be onto something
i like where your head's at yeah the
way so i haven't
fully figured it out but i i've written
like a pretty comprehensive like uh
white paper on like what i think
something like this could look like
on a larger scale
and um it's much deeper and more
intricate than like what we did here
this was just a wallet address and you
i think what could be cool man and and
we don't got to change the whole
subject of the space but something you
should think about maybe we can talk
about more off
off space i think like a 404 could be
interesting um
maybe yeah maybe yeah 404s are
interesting deaf i
we actually talked about them early in
the space too i just think they're
interesting um
i think they're next up but but um
yeah it can be just a cool way to
introduce
you know i the way i think about like so
i think it's
like like how you mentioned like do
people need to be kind of like tricked
and or enticed to like want to do the
right thing
i look at it almost as a positive
because it's a little bit more clean
than in the
it like i feel like in the in the
quote unquote real world
um it like i know what people's
expectations are it's like they want to
make money when we know this that's why
people are here
we're also here for community vibes
centralization all that good stuff but
but you're here because like you make
money here like we
i'm here like it's a job we work we
we do things in the space because it
provides income we can support our family
and that's amazing right like we've
all identified that there's an
opportunity in crypto
that's why we've been here for for what
so like knowing that straight up it's
like okay
i understand what people want which is
they want to make money
that's great i want to make money too
how do we pair that up with doing the
right thing
um and uh obviously it's not as like cut
and dry as just like
give people something and then like
hopefully they donate but maybe maybe
um i i also don't i have a rule i have
a rule i give
about five to ten percent of my profits
to charity
so i have a friend um he's connected with
a lot of um people who you know can't
afford to pay rent
um you know young people that are getting
you know he has a whole ring of of people
that he knows
and every day he calls me hey this guy
needs to raise ten thousand dollars this
guy needs to raise a hundred dollars
this guy needs to raise two hundred
and every single day i i go ahead and i i
you know i donate charity to these
to help them get you know to their goals
because when you're when you're in a
of when you're making money you need to
spread that out you need to give back
it's not when the money flows up to the
you need to give it back down to the
you can't keep it up to the top you
need to spread the love
you definitely do need to spread the love
um and um yes we're just trying to do so
it's and and again i've just been
shocked by the generosity i like just
during this space i probably got
five or six dms and like people who are
high up at different like cancer
research things or like philanthropy
crypto focused stuff that is like let's
hop on a call that's cook
so i have so many calls i need to do
this upcoming week and hopefully we can
do something cool
because i again i think there is a way in
which people can make money while by
doing the right thing and just like get
those incentives aligned
um also bryce i see that you're in the
this uncle earth shit is fucking
hilarious and nothing but love but it's
in the vlog like you're gonna see in the
next two days when this vlog comes out
it's in the fucking vlog we could not
stop like the name and the image is
fucking stupid um i think he literally
just left the room like literally just
uh well you'll see in the vlog you'll
see it in the vlog yeah yeah yeah it's
so funny i wanted to bust his balls
about it too i'm bummed he left i
wanted to bring him up and bust his
no i mean like look nothing but respect
like it i i'm not gonna sit here and
like knock anybody i just thought that
the fucking
slurps uncle earth thing was so fun
it's not as funny now but it was very
funny when we first saw it
um somebody sent me a screenshot of
bryce in the room i was gonna invite him
out i wish he didn't leave
but um that's fine we'll run it he's
hilarious bro i did i wrote a um a
diss track with him
for uh i don't know if it's coming out
yet so i don't want to spoil it but
a little while ago oh let's go yeah
this is a long this is a long time
ago it's probably it's probably never
coming out i don't know where the fuck
is it yeah tell him to come back in here
i mean he doesn't follow me have banks
fucking text him and let's let's grill
all right that's not that's not the
favor i'm calling it
but i'm excited to hear the diss track
and um now i like bryce i think the
i think the distinct was funny um now
it's something i was actually talking to
banks about today
which is i think there's like there's a
lot of like the traditional web2
influencers
that they want to be involved in they
they think it's cool they know it's the
next stop they know there's money to be
made but the only opportunities that they
get because they're not plugged in
with the native web3 people
the only opportunities they get are these
pre-sales and things that they have to
shill and i don't think they realize
that if they just came into this space
and did some cool shit people would
fucking love them and accept them and be
like yeah we we want you here like
please come and interact with us um
because it brings more people in from
from their audiences
and it doesn't have to be just like the
you know the things that are probably
just like pom and dub what you know
me whatever
um so i'm all for the like quote unquote
traditional influencers if that's what
you want to call
last bull run i was getting pulled into
every fucking label meeting and like
sitting down with artists and
the conversation every time is like all
right guys listen
you're going to get approached by some
bullshit fucking devs
team and they're going to throw like a
little bit of money at you and
they're going to throw big flashy
figures that they say you're going to
and that's going to sound great but if
you just come and interact
and like you can build such a bigger
thing here like and especially when it
comes to the music industry
the biggest issue right now is the
industry cannot collect on super fans
they're missing about 60 of profits
from super fans that they were getting
in like you know in the cd era and
you're really only seeing it in kpop
right now
and so the music industry is struggling
you know with dsp's
they're making a lot of money but
they're missing a huge market share
the only money the only way they're
making money from super fans is touring
and merch and it's like if these artists
and and this connects with everybody i
guess if these people who have these
super fans
athletes content creators artists
so forth and so forth
if they just came in and tapped in
and like hung out on spaces with people
the shit that they do anyway
like you're in you're on twitch
you're doing these things
if you just connected with people you
could make
so much more fucking money
if and from genuine like organic
super fandom reach you know and
that's really the bull thesis
it's always been my bull thesis and
that's why i got into nfts was like
music and music nfts and like
building a micro community and
monetizing a micro community
and having them be along for the ride
with you and incentivized financially
and so like i think yeah go ahead no
no i mean i i told it i could not agree
more please continue
yeah no i was just i was just saying yeah
so for like you know someone like a
price or these other guys who are now
the cryptos heating back up and
especially you're going to see it in
like the streaming world
and you know people like aden and
jinxy like they're going to get
approached
and what is exciting about what what
what banks in them are doing you guys
are doing with probably nothing
and like you know what i'm trying to do
with my podcast and what i do in music
and a bunch of other people i know who
are like doing the work on the ground to
get these influential people in
it's like guys just come check this
don't like let us hold your hand a
little bit and like white gloves
service you and
pause if that sounds crazy um and
help you you know get in the space
the right way and like know what to
so you can really you know do
something fucking cool
and be early and and and build
something tight here so
i agree and like you said it exactly
um there's all there's just like a huge
lack of resources for
those individuals of that caliber
because like let's be honest these
people are busy
they're making a lot of money they're
doing a lot of different things
and they they don't have the time to
like really understand the culture in
the way that that we understand it
not in like in the most non-pretentious
way possible
um so they do get taken advantage of
so and i know there's a lot of people
that are like fuck the web2 influencers
like we don't need them whatever bro
i'm telling you you want them in as
like if they're ethical right like
they're doing it in the ethical way
the right way
you want them here you want them
participating and active
these people have the reach they have
on their accounts
like millions of followers across
it's absurd
so yeah we want them promoting the right
things in the right way
and maybe it's our job as a web3
community to stand up and kind of
like i don't know like teach these
people like how to do it
yeah and and also like kind of like it's
kind of our job but i think more
important i think brice is a great
example it's like
okay he's excited to get into crypto
maybe and he's like seeing other
people doing it and he doesn't know
better in a lot of cases i'm sure and
i don't know about earth or whatever the
fuck but like
we need to not be so gatekeepy
when these influential people and
celebrities come in
and i would i would like yes we need
to be like protective of grifters
but a lot of times like these mother
fuckers just don't know
you know what i'm saying they're
coming in to like they don't know
they're like hey i'm an artist and i sell
my art for money because that's what i do
as an artist
and like now i'm trying to drop a
project on here and i'm kind of new to
this stuff and like i'm kind of
experimenting
and to just be like fuck you rugger
this is bullshit
da da da da da like instantly instead of
being like hey man look like let's
explain how this needs to work
you know i feel like it does put a
lot of people off
i totally agree and and let's let's not
pretend that this industry is
like so easy to operate and i've been
here for years and i still fucking
it's it's hard man there's so many
nuances to the culture how to operate how
to interact with people
and then yeah there's a lot of in my
opinion people that could be really
beneficial to onboarding
you know tens of thousands if not
millions of web two people
that just get completely turned off
because of some of the pretentious
vibes that exist in crypto
which let's be honest there are
pretentious vibes
um and also let's be honest a lot of web
two influencers have grifted and pumped
and dumped and all this but yet we
can't ignore that
um but look new cycle new chance for
people to
to do cool shit and um i'm all about it
dude i'm all
and that's like you mentioned you know
about and by the way if you guys have
not seen geno's podcast and like the
content that he's creating it is
some of the most engaging entertaining
content that i have watched in
gen like just across the board not even
just crypto focused
um especially like the clips that you
post on like instagram and things like
those are so good those are so good
um to shout out to you
but um even with like what we're doing
we're probably nothing like you
mentioned
like a big part of the thesis was like
fuck dude if we want this shit to pop
off the way that we think it should pop
like let's go reach the people that have
no idea what's going on here
which is the web 2 audience and i know we
talk about like bridging web 2 web 3
it's cliche as fuck i get that
but it is a real thing and um in a
bull market there's an opportunity to do
that in the right way so that's what
that's just what we're trying to do
anyway um all right we'll throw it over
oh we got vegan up here too vegan
what's going on
what's up what's up uh interesting
conversation actually relates to something
i was talking earlier so first i will say
i'm getting genos clips on tiktok and
it's in on non-web 3 tiktok got a
separate one
so it definitely crosses over and i'm
entertained and like
the one thing that always hits me is i
go in the comments people are fighting
and then boom i've watched the clip
three times i'm reading the comments and
then boom i'm getting sort of more geno
video so it works real well and i think
a good way like to cross over
so we're seeing this happen right now in
and it came over he did one of the
biggest inscriptions ever i think it
was the biggest good things can correct
it's mac and cheese five i thought mac
and cheese four
was excellent i think it was really
really good underrated if you will
he seems like he's kind of trying to be
authentic
he then gave this shout out like here's a
under 10k ordinal accounts that need to
give love and
i don't want butoshi one of my friends
he uh was one of the accounts he's
like bro i've got five key folders from
thanks french montana and then ghost
face killer announced hey he's putting
his next music on ordinals
are we gonna react to this
differently than the eat guys because
we solved with eat right some people
came over we embraced snoop dog and then
a bunch of others it was you know hit or
miss we fought like it's french doing it
right is he doing it wrong
what does ghost face killing need to do
to like make this work for us
in people's opinions
okay speaking of snoop i own way too
many snoop nfts on polygon and he told
me i was going to own the ip and be
use this what happened was where snoop
i feel like snoop has released more i love
snoop dog i think he's great but he's
released more collections
than anybody in the world dude he's got
so man i dude i love you can't not fuck
with snoop dog man
you just you got i i did the music for
snoops um sandbox nft that he did um and
i have like
that open how about that open edition he
did i forget which one it is but i
have like the first like i have like
10 of the first like 30 that were
minted on chain i like for some reason
i thought the provenance was going to be
important and like token id was important
you guys remember when token id meant
something
anyway um dude the montana thing also
begin by that i appreciate
the love and i also want to say
montana huh um
that's a french montana reference
another interesting thing about mac and
is he put out six versions of the album
he's got a regular version a slowed down
a sped up version an acapella version
an instrumental version and if you if
you download the album
you get all the versions so your phone
just gets like
bombed with french montana like you
open up itunes and your phone just like
fucking explode it's like
it's like um you remember the old
itunes the old ipods where they just
loaded the u2 album on your fucking
phone you didn't even get to choose i
may have just aged myself but if anybody
remembers that go ahead and give me a i'm
over 30 hundred emoji please
thank you um
yeah i i didn't see the french montana
ordinals drop
because uh i'm such a ordinals fucking
noob but i think it's great that like
artists are
are fucking around inscribing and doing
stuff cross chain
and um i don't know man i'm really
to just see like i think the first run
everybody was like kind of dipping their
toe in it
oh maybe this is going to be gone and
like i'm just going to try to get some
money while it's here
and i think now that it's quite
obviously definitively staying and not
going anywhere
we'll start to see some real fun
experimenting from you know not only
artists but i think from
these you know from major labels and
from movie studios who are also
having a challenging time right now
because short form content is
completely consuming media
and they're struggling so like i'm going
to i'm curious to see how they branch
into web 3
in a more convicted way um wait hold on
you're telling me that french montana
dropped into ordinals collection nobody
good things i'm looking to you for the
ordinals alpha
you didn't tell me i feel like i missed
this completely
this is you know some people say
french montana is
could be bigger than satoshi
i'm not somebody's truth it's true i've
i've heard i think it was inscribed
it was somewhere in the in the code
something to do with opcat or
something there's only one french
montana as they said there's only one
um but anyway i i don't even i don't
i think i started that sentence
without knowing where i was going um
you didn't know about french
inscribing one of the largest files
in bitcoin history but he did do that he
did it with the ordinals spot
they're the same guys who helped uh leo
inscribe the two giant
runestone inscriptions these guys are
on a tear the rippin foremakers like
nobody's fucking business
um but yeah i mean i think it's i think
it's interesting like we're we're in
the phase of
bitcoin ordinals where you do have
like some element of celebrities right
like i'm not a huge french montana fan
thought i'm not fun the guy just like i
listened a lot of hip-hop in my life and
i just never really
never really got into french but
obviously huge ghostface kill a fan
um and wu-tang obviously so
the fact that these two gentlemen are
in the arena for bitcoin ordinals is a
is a pretty cool thing
but we're not we're not anywhere near
like sort of peak celebrity which we
are probably going to see at some point
like we're going to see
a lot of the same parallels we saw in
ethereum uh happen in bitcoin ordinals
where once the money starts slushing
you'll see opportunities come in and using
kind of the same
general playbook but um i think these
are just interesting these are people
who i don't know the backstory
behind uh either one of them really i
didn't see a tweet that ghostface killa
is um explaining to people on twitter
that he's a he's a bitcoin og and
he was into rare peppers and i don't doubt
it one bit because those
a lot of those wu-tang motherfuckers
like they really are into like dank
ass culture obviously because they're
wu-tangs so wouldn't wouldn't surprise
me one bit
but um yeah i don't i don't know that uh
i don't know that french montana is
planning to do like a massive collection
or anything
we'll see um but if anybody else knows
anything about that i'm happy to happy
to entertain it
i did see oh go ahead vegan
no it's a couple things so good things
i'll do it for you okay i will assemble a
mixtape of french montana
what i would call hits that i think i
can convince you to be a fan
in my quick reference i know for some
of like the real music nerds out there
he is one of the most minimalist
rappers ever
in songs he will say the least amount
of unique words it's like almost
ambient music it's amazing if you
actually like study it from like a music
art nerd perspective
it's amazing i've literally run some
stuff and i'm like this is 86 unique
some other like dude there's every
wu-tang song
we're in the 500s for unique words
right so he is interesting from music
perspective and i will make you a
on the other side you gotta be careful
i don't like when you're saying
ripping those four meggers be careful
i don't like it okay we gotta get new
terminology every time i'm like good thing
okay oh my god what is going on here my
question is though
is he did do something technically
like interesting right he's rippin a
giant file
he's putting music on there he is an og
if you don't know french montana he
came in his music business not as a big
he was making dvd he's running around new
york making dvds
of the rapper interviews and
interactions and all other stuff
hustling selling those dvds turns into a
music career
he's always been a digital media
obviously he's going to keep following
bitcoin and do that over here so it's
part of his legacy
so do you care that like he's the first
real like is there any other musician
on your radar
who's operating at this technical level
okay wow um
that was some passion that was i got
to say vegan you got to be my favorite
person on the planet
um maybe outside of french montana
i did hear that french was actually
experimenting with dojanels as well so
for anybody that doesn't know
ordinals on doj um so he's going to be
leading the charge there
is that a real thing or are you no i
i i mean maybe like who i'm maybe who
okay i love i love that my god
no i made the studio listen to french
montana we listened to all of mac and
cheese four
we pulled out selected hits we listened
to the french montana
fetiwap mixtape that came out and we
listened to 1000 hit dot coms
it was killer and i i convinced at least
the local l.a people like he's better
than you think we think he's like not
as good as he is
he is a pioneer sorry i already swept my
french montana bags and i'm just pumping
i'm done did i hear uh did i hear a damn
son where'd you find this it's your wifey's
favorite dj dj ill will
is that what i just heard you do a little
it just it's a damn son where'd you find
that damn that was actually pretty damn
trapaholics mixtapes well we have a
we have a special guest actually
requesting up uh i guess you say the
word three times and
he shows up french welcome to the stage
oh wait he disconnected uh what up french
ha also apparently drake is going to be
doing inscriptions on litecoin
so dude fuck yeah i think i've been
holding this litecoin bag since 2017
finally maybe it'll go from $100 to $101
or whatever the fuck it's at what is the
price action on litecoin can we please
take a look i have to know
does anybody actually hold it anymore
me too i have let that's one of my
first cryptos i bought in set 2017 i
still have my litecoin
um i'm about i love you but i'm
completely trolling i don't have any
litecoin unfortunately
and it's still under a hundred dollars
how how is litecoin still under a
hundred dollars
it's been under a hundred dollars for
like five years literally
that's sad well apparently it's a
stablecoin
i heard that future is going to be
doing uh inscriptions on algorand
so there's fuck yeah dude there's also
dude mumba i think i'm sorry i have to
say on this for one more second
i think you're the first person that
i've ever met with litecoin i always
thought litecoin was like arby's which
is clearly just a drug front because
no one actually goes there and so i
thought it was just kind of some weird
money-wandering scheme but if people
actually own it that's
you don't like arby's you end up on a
road trip and got it arby's what am i from
fucking indiana no i don't like
road trip pull over to an arby's get
some curly fries some horsey sauce even
po po can you get back up here and
talk about all the
cancerous things and fucking arby's
wait what is horsey sauce
yeah bro sauce if you'd go there the
only good thing about arby's is the
mocha shake
the jamoca shake and the uh and the fries
okay you didn't name obscure arby's menu
items like the mocha shake
jamoca shake i don't go there what do
you how do you know that you're an
arby's fan
no shot no shot yeah not gonna lie dude
you know you know that you know two key
items on the menu dude you're
definitely a fucker all right it's a
pretty niche it's a pretty niche it's a
pretty niche menu item but i will i
went there like once like 10 years ago
for that and i was like this is pretty
but arby's we got the meats i mean come
out what are we doing here what do we
what do we got i'm just yeah i'm not i'm
not an arby super fan but begin by it
will will make me
fucking like anything it turns out so he's
gonna send me a
mixtape as well as uh just like a bag of
arby's and i'm gonna like it you guys
are acting like we eat arby's every day
arby's is when you're in the middle of
the country
you're in fucking montana you're driving
you need some gas you know what i mean you
have 30 red bulls you pull over
there's an arby's there's a wendy's
there's a sheets and you're like bro i'm
eating arby's today
that's how you live when you're on the
road it's not that bad you're taking
arby's over wendy's you're fucking sick
oh dude all right hold on wendy's when
you're on the road this month that's
how let's reset the room let's reset
the room let's reset the room
also i think the biggest um
the biggest thing that you just said
there is that you're in mont that you've
ever driven through montana i didn't
know montana was a real place i
honestly swear that nobody i know has
ever seen or been to montana
that was just a myth also um i gotta say
shout out to poe because he came up on
stage earlier
and the eth just hit the wallet he just
donated eight thousand dollars eight
thousand dollars he donated to the to
the eth wallet so now the eth wallet
26 000 in it and the salona wallet has
82 000 in it
so basically in a day and a half 110
poe you're the go i appreciate you and
that's super generous and kind and
i'm so excited to get my new cyber truck
enjoy it bro i'm just kidding i'm just
the play will say fuck cancer and you'll
spread the message everyone will take
photos of it
it'll go viral every day on reddit and
instagram
and you're going to spread the message
fuck cancer it's going to work dude
that's actually such a good idea you
know you know you'd be a even better
idea elite you should
burn all the tokens and then and then
be like oh my god i'm so sorry everybody
open up a second wallet and then you'll
have so much publicity
that you'll probably get 10x the
donations if you really think about it
i mean we were we were going to do some
like crazy marketing stuff with it
like with
yeah we had some ideas but um we
decided not to
um just because i'm already getting
enough but i'm telling you there's
like people in the comment section
like this fucking leap guy like he's
like using cancer to like he just made
a hundred thousand dollars like all this
um so there's always going to be people
flooding about it but
um i think we did a good thing and the
community really came together strong and
super super thankful also i just got a
notification someone just DM me about
uh smoke perp is going to be doing
inscriptions on manero
so there's i don't know what's up with
that that seems a little bit out of left
i don't even know if we're inscriptions
okay that's not true but shout out to
smoke perp um
okay well i think um i think
that's probably oh we got one more
hand aliens what's up
hey uh i just want to preface it to
this like i'm not uber weirdo but
just to speak back to what you said
earlier what everyone's out here just
trying to make money
i spend like eight years just putting
every dollar into my
work in every way uh i haven't taken like
i've taken like eight months off and
like everything is basically just for my
some of us down here are gonna make
uh trying to actually just make change
so yeah just wanted to say that
and yeah i can see that you're trying
to make some change out here
love that uh-huh yeah
trying to make some fucking things
look guys i just tweeted uh about
the donation um
i just i want people to see it
so they can know and understand like
it's it's okay to give back it's okay
to give back you know
i want people to be inspired by this
and say you know i have and i and it's
okay to give
it's it feels good to give it's god
will bless you i'm telling you
anything that you give back god will
bless you 10
10 times over i promise you i agree
leap a little gamification
sorry just a little gamification just
not the best thing but like
i don't know do you do shout outs for the
top people who actually
gave because like it's an unfortunate
incentive mechanism but people want to
be seen um like
if you do do shout outs to the people
like top givers like i can see people
wanting to then be like top givers
i don't know it was just a thought
so i've definitely considered a bunch of
different options i i mean
to be honest it's all anonymous outside
of poe i have really no clue who any of
the donators were
um because i wasn't like asking for wallet
dresses and people really weren't like
dm'ing me like soul scan links or
anything but
um i did pin up post tweet to the top
so there's like 600 people in the room
if you guys could go show that some love
he absolutely deserves it and um
yeah i mean it's just like a really
they shouldn't i would love to inspire
people to do
to do this you know i'm telling you
nothing nothing nothing makes me feel
better than giving back
and and i think that's a um
that's like a narrative that i think we
really need to start like emphasizing a
little bit more in the space too and
again like i'm not saying that like i'm
all my content now is going to be like
charity content because it's not like i
did this and we're going to execute on it
and i think it's great and honestly
again surpass every expectation i could
have set for it
i i genuinely thought we'd get like 20
or 25 000 because it's like not a token
it's not anything like that
um but to do 110 000 is absurd and
um could not be more thankful to the
community and
um yeah dude fuck cancer um and and to
anybody who's been affected by it as
well like please reach out to me and
i'm happy to talk and and whatever it is
that you need and that i can contribute
like let me know
um we will run this back in six months
or a year
and try it a little bit more um this
is like a more interesting way
uh but for now i think this was a
massive success
and i think this is a good point to
end the space so look guys i appreciate
you so much
um i'm gonna have these donations sent
out in probably the next 20 hours
so before tomorrow night space we'll
we'll have these already sent out and
proof will be posted transparently all
that good stuff
um the art is going to take me a little
bit longer to distribute
it just the salon one will be very
um i got to figure out what to do with
the eth ones
we're doing a claim page i need to talk
to my dabs and make sure we can get
that out fast
um so just be patient on the art side
and then i still have to inscribe the one
of one as well so just
be patient be patient um but i fucking
love you guys
i really appreciate you thank you for
supporting thank you for supporting
probably nothing
please follow the speakers on the stage
they absolutely deserve it
click the pin tweet at the top show
post some love he absolutely deserves it
and that being said that's it great
i love you i appreciate you and i will
yeah relatively soon
