All you mysteries are moving in the sun.
I'll show some love and respect.
Get some love and respect.
Baby, you can see that the gazing eye won't lie.
I don't give up your lover tonight.
Cause it's just you and me and this one.
All right, let's tend to be mentioned tonight.
She found a lonely sound.
She keeps on waiting for time out there.
Oh, love, can you love me, babe?
Love is this loving, baby, it's time turning around.
Just your eyes, I'm the only one.
And throw me, console me, cause that's just how it should be done.
Oh, your history's like fire from a busted gun.
Maybe you can see that the gazing eye
Won't lie to give up your lover tonight
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Love, can you love me, babe?
Love, is this loving, babe?
Love, is this loving, babe?
Some like the days we'll meet
And I can't sit on the edge
When they need to touch me
And I'll still stop right
You should be in my space
You should be in my space
You should be in my space
Welcome back to another episode of
If You Know You Know, the show for Web3 creators and enthusiasts
I am your host, Bell, and each week I'm joined by a panel of experts to bring you the latest trends, opportunities, and perspectives from the creators who are shaping the future of technology and art
Nothing we ever say is financial advice and it's always important for you to do your own research
If throughout the space you have any questions or comments, please request to speak or type it in the bottom right-hand corner chat and we'll be checking that throughout the show
Today, my co-host is my partner in crime, NFT Fiend, the CEO of Holiday Labs and co-founder of NFT Girl
And of course, we're joined by GoodThings, Evangelist, Engineer of MediGood and OnChainMonkey
I am so excited to have this show
I'm going to tell you a personal story about my journey with OnChainMonkey so that everybody can laugh at me
But I do it for the sake of others
Man, it's the frustrating things of, you know, you just never know
And the journey of what I've had here in Web3
But I'm going to save that story for a little bit later
GoodThings, welcome to the show
I am so excited to have you here
Thank you so much for having me
I'm super excited, you know, to speak with you today
You know, we've got just an amazing community of people here
I can see a lot of familiar faces
If everybody can do us a favor, hit the lower right-hand corner
Throw us a rise, throw your favorite OCM Genesis or Karma down there
Let's get this space going, get some more folks in here
Yeah, thanks so much for having me, Belle
Of course, man, you're my kind of speaker
Like you took it even before I said
I was about to say in a little bit
I'm going to be pinning up a tweet here, guys
Giving everybody a chance to get in here
And then, yeah, if you could retweet it
And type some things on here at the bottom of it
We always love that interactive and that engagement
All right, it looks like we're getting a couple more people in here
I'm going to go ahead and post up this tweet
Just like getting it out of the way right now
We were going to have Amanda on here
I know it didn't work out
But was looking forward to having her on here
And so just wanted to give you a chance
I know you're going to say something about her
Amanda is traveling right now
Amanda is almost always traveling
You know, I think one of the biggest signals
That I always tell people to pay attention to
Because she is going all over the world all the time
You know, spreading our message
You know, basically organizing partnerships
Meeting with community members
She is our co-founder and chief operating officer
And really, I think, you know
One of the great leaders of this space
You know, going out into the world
And doing the work that it takes to build out
A company and a worldwide community
So yeah, she's actually heading to Asprey Studio in London
We partnered with Asprey and Bugatti
To launch their upcoming collection on Bitcoin
And so they're having an event
In their brand new studio that they've built
And they're going to have all kinds of amazing collectors there
You know, I think Seedphrase will be there
I can't remember the other person
But there's several big collectors within the Asprey Studio community
Because they already have an ETH collection
And I see Jaybrush down there
Jaybrush is one of our amazing community members
Which there's only ever going to be 20 of those in our community
And he actually, I think, is involved in that in some way
I think he's got on the list
For their upcoming Bugatti egg collection on Bitcoin
And I think he's going to be able to show some of his art
Hopefully Celestial, I would imagine, in that studio
So maybe we'll get him up on stage later on
And he can talk about that
But yeah, Amanda really wanted to be here
I definitely would love to do this again
Because she is an absolute legend
And a leader of OCM and Medigood
We will absolutely make that happen
So, I mean, you know, just another day
That's not a name that you throw out there every day
I mean, that's really amazing
But I'm going to take this opportunity to ask
Just straight off the bat
How in the world did you guys get linked up with that?
Yeah, so Ollie John Walker
He's the Chief Creative Officer of Asprey Studio
And Asprey Studio is a partnership
Between Asprey of London and Bugatti
So Asprey of London is a 200-year-old company
I actually hadn't heard of them before
You know, I actually probably am not a normal consumer
Of such high-end luxury goods
You know, they've done work for the royal family
I mean, they've done amazing things
They're a 200-year-old company
I think a lot of us have heard of
They're a 100-year-old company
And so between the two of them
You know, these are two of the oldest companies in the world
Known for producing the highest quality craftsmanship
You know, in the goods that they produce
And, you know, they basically saw Danny
I think speaking in the Twitter spaces
About what we were doing with our Genesis collection
What we have built with our Dimensions collection
And, you know, they had a meeting
And Danny showed them our Dimensions collection
And they were basically very excited to work with us
So we are their technology partner
And, yeah, there's a lot more to come
That I can't really go too far into
But there is a linkage between our Dimensions collection
And this is a very, like, innovative
And important step for digital assets on Bitcoin
And I think digital assets in general
Danny and our co-founders
Amanda Terry and Bill Tye
These are three people who have been building companies
Pretty much since the beginning
And so they have a reputation
That I think speaks for itself
Once you kind of look at the work that they've done
And what they've been involved in
So, you know, I won't say it was like a no-brainer
But I think, you know, once they found out
About what we were doing on Bitcoin
It just, it pretty much, you know
It was pretty quickly that we were able to
Ink a partnership with them
So let's take a step back real quick
Because I want to talk about
I definitely want to talk about Bitcoin
And, you know, how OCM has embraced that
And obviously Ordinals right now
Or the talk of the century, if you will
In the NFT space and in Web3 in general
So absolutely, we need to talk about that
But before we go any further
So if you hear me clear in my voice
Apologies, apologies, apologies right now
But we're going to get through it
Because this is an important conversation
And, you know, here for that, right?
But bear with me for a second
Just one of the experts in the space
That not only saw the importance
And, you know, what's going on in Bitcoin
But took it from the very beginning
And bringing something into the Web3 community
You guys have fantastic value
Which is the rise that we see
That everybody talks about, right?
The core values are respect
Integrity, sustainability
Those are not words that we get to see
Every day in the so-called
Think about when they think about
And, you know, the community
So I started off as a community member
Started off as community members
And, you know, I think this is
I started my career at Boeing
Spent about six years there
Spent a couple years there
I quit Amazon Web Services in 2019
To pursue my master's degree
At University of Washington
Of grad students and undergrads
And a few high school students
And so we got to work with
People in the national science labs
All of the major universities
You know, Boston University
And so I worked with like
Came into those organizations
From how we built this team
At OnChainMonkey and Medigood
I started buying out of FOMO
I didn't know what I was buying
What they're going to enable
And so when I came into NFTs
Pretty much like nine months
That I felt convicted enough
And it was so early on then
You know, Danny and the team
Weren't putting out a roadmap
Like everyone was putting out
You know, a new coin would launch
And they would put out a white paper
And that's all you had to go on
And you know, there was a ton of promises
It wasn't about making promises
And one of the first things Danny did
You know, I think in like
A week or so after the mint
He was in Discord constantly
Like all hours of the day
Hop on voice chat with us
We were just community members
We were just anonymous people
Who had bought his tokens
But he spent a lot of time with us
To represent our community
And this very long-term vision
For building out this ecosystem
And he put out the rise values
We all just started saying rise
For everything that we build
Has to be of the highest quality
Because when you put something
As long as the network is up
It should be there forever
It goes into the community
Like so we have this amazing
That we're able to attract
You know, we are absolutely
You know, financial wealth
That we build and deliver
So not just in the crypto industry
But in the world at large
We'll get into some of the things
We've done as a community so far
Couldn't be more of an important
I can actually attest to that
Which is very art-focused
And very about the creator
And I did a lot of trading
This seems like forever ago, right?
I suppose enough research
