Thank you. Thank you. Who the hell starts their space early and then doesn't even show up on time?
That's the question, bro.
309, or sorry, 359 to 402 before anybody even comes off the mic?
What kind of shit is that?
What are you looking for?
Oh, it's going pretty good.
Yeah. Just doing a little research
You know, trying to get this situated
Oh, it's still not fixed, dude
It's just gonna, like, I want to start from the beginning
Get his mics created, you know what I mean
And then work on, you know what I'm saying?
At least, yeah, I know he's not
in any huge rush on that, but at least
at least he needs a little
Papa, if you could make that happen.
plugged in my earphones, so I did not
hear anything about... I just heard
for the Discord, because he's heading out.
I was asking if you can put
to help him get the Discord lock. I mean, it
shouldn't take, what, more than 15 minutes?
Depends on what he needs, but I mean, like, I'm sure.
It's just, it's basic lockdown, babe.
It's giving roles to his admin so that they can have the, you know what I mean?
Like, while he's gone, and then making sure that no links and shit.
I've been meaning to ask you,
Like your list of your content?
I haven't been posting them
In fact, to the point where
very diligent with that lately.
Alright, so I just need some time to take a break, but
are they coming up on your dashboard
is what I'm trying to get at. I'm just curious.
Gosh, I feel like I've only done two or three this week.
They show up in my highlights
When you pin something it actually um
has it to your highlights that's true that is true yeah so if you pin something then it actually
does go to your highlights automatically but where is let me see because when you go to your profile
um reply subs highlights and videos so he's asking
is it showing in your videos as well is that what you were asking jamama no like as far as far as for
his content you know what i'm saying like for whatever reason my videos no longer show up as
my content or like videos well not content but videos. Like if you go to the Premiere or whatever,
Are you talking about in the Analytics?
Yeah, like up top, like next to content,
tab for under the Analytics.
I mean, I would hope that they're within the number of views and everything, but I don't...
Yeah. the number of views and everything, but I don't.
I'm doing 625 and before that 6, 1.
So there's a bunch of them that are missing out of there.
Oh, that's a big difference.
Um, gives it a go i'm engaging with um chat ops um post i just put it up at the top
i love the purple yeah anyways you guys if you uh tag three friends they're dropping an amazing
piece but i love the purple. That one is so cute.
I went to chat up space today for the first time and it was kind of cool. I'd never been before
and it was really nice to hear. They're also with the GPC. So it was cool to hear them.
The founder actually has a really, really thick French accent.
I was like, you did great.
I think people get so caught up in their heads about like, you know, like, do I sound okay?
Or can people understand me when I'm like just enjoying their accent the whole time?
You know what's funny the whole time i was thinking of lumiere i was like okay i like lumiere i like lumiere lumiere's cute poor joe mama dude he's
going through it trying to get up here yes like the fourth time he's trying to get up here
Like the fourth time he's trying to get up here.
Let's see how that works.
He got through the wormhole, bro.
Did you hear Papa talking about his videos being jacked up, though, Jomama?
It's not coming up on his shit, right?
There's like three weeks worth that aren't showing up on there.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
Like, well, I stopped doing the video thing.
Only one registered, right?
And then when I did other videos i did three of them and
they're all like all right you know 5k each or whatever views um those didn't show up on my
you know what i'm saying so like it's not even on like the list there you know of engagement
just i don't know i'm just sad about it but whatever yeah papa said there's like his was
like the first and then the last one was the 25th.
So that's several weeks that aren't
I wonder if it went with one of their stupid updates
or some shit and then they didn't fix it.
I don't know. He probably should be getting more engagement
off of that, but it's not even registering?
I need to find out from Rick. Rick was saying the other day when we were in our um gpc founders meeting maybe i can
remember to ask this tomorrow papa um there's a an app that they pay for it's some kind of an
extension and it actually tells you what your account health is. It actually grades it, which is
a trip. Um, and all these different things that is provided. So I don't know. I just think that
there's no perfect way to get your, you know what I mean? Like it sucks. People come to me all the
time and they hit me up and they're like, okay, how do I get my account in good health? And how
do I get bots and how, or, you know what I mean? Like bots gone. And how do I get, um,
my reach better? And it literally depends on each account. It's crazy. I can't even tell you how
many accounts I've been in and they all move differently. So Jed wants up good lord oh we got one other listener today that's exciting
i'm always excited when we get other listeners my other listener i hope you're having a great
oh we got two have a great day at least give us some of the fucking aloe bro like launching all
these coins oh shit aj you here with us or how's it going i just probably running around with a Oh, shit.
AJ, you here with us, or how's it going?
He's probably running around with a chicken like his head cut off.
Are you a last-minute packer, AJ?
He's doing laundry right now do you even do your own laundry AJ I've never even asked you
do I do my own laundry yes of course
you know some people don't I do my own laundry I actually enjoy laundry
that's one thing I enjoy doing.
She just hates putting it away.
Oh, I hate putting it away.
But I actually have a system now.
If I have Papa dump it on the bed, then I'll just take the coat hangers and put it right up.
Like I don't fold my shit to then hang it up.
There is no shot that's happening.
When I was younger, we had to fold it out of the dryer and then hang it.
And then I got smart and I was like, why the fuck am I doing this?
But do you have any time today
for us to help you with the discord before you bounce
out I don't think it'll take long at all
I was preparing for that call
you a mod as well yeah no that's fine
just let everybody know that I'm not going to be there in the meeting tomorrow, obviously.
What time do you guys take off tomorrow?
We'll probably leave at, I don't know, five in the morning tomorrow.
Are you guys flying straight?
Like, are you going straight from your house to the airplane?
It's docking up the couch.
And by the way, we watched that horrible show.
There's no hope in getting me on a fucking, on a ship now.
It's just, you Yeah. If there was any
for her now, it's like, yeah, you're
where they thought that giving them alcohol
was going to be a good idea.
I know. And those chicks are
like, at least it was good for a little while.
That one, uh, housemate, that was like a complete whore.
She's like everything, everything on the ship is hard and ready.
That's why you want to go on that ship.
Swingers cruise Cruz, question mark?
It's funny that you said that.
I was exactly saying that.
I was like, damn, she's a total whore.
She's just going on and on about how everything, everybody.
She's like, there's so much sex that happens.
I was like, is she i i don't know
did they did they bring her out for this it was funny yeah she's talking about coming out of one
of the guy's rooms i'm like what you know you're on the stradgette like whatever what do i know
who knows we don't know anything well i'm excited for you guys um so the flooding that happened was
not near you is that correct or is it close to you no okay okay it was uh right above san antonio
kerrville okay and all that area but i've i don't know i was kind of hoping i wasn't leaving now
because i have a bunch of friends that are going over there to help out and I would love to go over there.
That makes sense. I'm hoping to give back
and another few days off to go over there and help
out and stuff. Nice. You never know, AJ. It could have
been, you know, there's been people who have been out there trying to rescue and just trying to help in general.
And they've actually are now lost.
So maybe for some reason, this, you know what I mean?
Like you just never know, dude.
Exactly what I'm going on with.
You're going to find your ass in a tree.
No, I actually heard that they found two girls in a tree today.
Because you look at the sheet and it's, you know, it's a tearjerker when you go through it and you see found.
And then you see the ones that say found safely, you know.
And then I watched this interview today.
And again, I don't know what's real.
So I don't go out there and repost anything because who am I to do that?
Like that's just, to me, that's just not right.
And I saw this one where this interview of this girl, she said that she actually put a tag on her own body with her name.
So in case she didn't make it.
And I was like, oh my God, dude.
But yeah, it's just, it's horrific.
To me, you know what bothers me the most?
And I know this is so trivial, but when all these images of the camp and it's showing just how jacked up it is,
right. And all these little, like, I don't know, sleeping bags and pillows and random toys and
knickknacks. I don't understand why somebody would want to post that because to me, I just think how
horrible that must be for the family. First of all, you don't even know if your kid has made it,
you know, that one of those kids were probably your kid's friends and then you're probably zooming in to be like oh my god it's
that little sarah's backpack do you see what i'm saying like i just don't understand that i don't
understand what the i don't that shit pisses me off yeah it's insane i mean i've been uh that
main bridge that they're showing in Kerrville,
I've been through that bridge before and it's crazy. The, the Creek that runs through it or
the little river that runs through it is no more wider than, you know, I don't know, maybe like my,
my house in Corpus, you know? Um, but the amount that it transferred in was like two blocks wide yeah i just i don't
i don't understand that crazy yeah did you see that 26 feet and 45 minutes i don't that's not
i don't get that like my brain doesn't that. And the fact that nobody had any kind of, I don't know.
I mean, I guess even if you got a heads up, like, what's 45 minutes going to do?
And everybody was sleeping.
I'm hoping to go over there and help when I get back.
But we'll see how much help they need when I do get back because it'll be a couple weeks by then.
they need when uh when i do get back because it'll be a couple weeks by then yeah i have to say that's
one thing that i have appreciated is seeing um all of the texas um athletes and the um bigger
corporations it's it's always texas bro like texas does not like they will help their their people
yeah dallas cowboys the astros um so many the Rangers, like they're all, I hope I didn't just fuck up on one of those,
but they are actually putting money together and putting it towards that,
Yeah. Yeah. I saw the tech and I'm a Texans fan.
So I think I saw them post up something that they're donating like 1.5 million.
Yep. Exactly. Yeah. Oh yeah. I don't anyways. Yeah. yeah it's it's very um sad makes you feel
very blessed that's for sure makes you feel very blessed and they're actually expecting quite a bit
more rain yeah they still right now today i was looking at the weather map and they were still
looking at rain and it's raining all in texas i mean it's all over the place but oh interesting they're a lot more than usual which is weird but i was just going to
ask that see and i think everybody wants to blame something especially when you have lives lost
but to me it's really i mean that weather manipulation shit has to stop there's no way
that you can expect to do something like that and And then there are not to be repercussions.
Yeah, I don't know about all that.
I never believed that shit.
I was like, no, there's no way.
I've been doing a little bit of research.
I'm like, damn, these people are actually hiring people to go and see the clouds.
I don't understand how it's done.
But, yeah, it's a trip to me for sure.
That shit's crazy, isn't it?
Dude, it literally blows my mind.
It seems not even realistic.
But I actually went on this page, this website.
I don't even know what it was.
I'm sure I could find it if you guys wanted to know.
And they're literally hiring right now in Texas. I mean, they have lots of different
locations all over the United States. I was talking about it not that long ago, actually.
Rainmaker. I think that's what I looked up, Jed. Yeah, my brother actually was like, hey, you should, you know, go try to work for them.
You know, it is kind of interesting.
Yep. topic, you know, because they say that cloud seeding is, it's something that, you know,
it requires natural clouds that are there already. And that the moment you stop, you like,
turn it off, like it's a switch. But then you got you know like contrails then you've got
weather manipulation like where they can create clouds out of nothing and whatever else like
there's like all these different versions of like weather manipulation and the shit's been around
for decades honestly it's not i mean it's always a tinfoil hat type conversation,
you know, because it's been kept from the public for so long. But now that technology is starting
to advance and our radar systems are getting better and all this kind of stuff, it's,
you know, becoming more known and more public. But it's very scary to think, like, especially if there isn't like, I mean, like,
you know, the government, like, when have they ever gotten anything right? You know what I mean?
Like, you would have to have really, really, really good regulation on shit like that. And
it's like, where do you start? Yeah. And how do you trust that? Because at the end of the day,
it's human that's doing it exactly and um you know
the rainmaker talks about how they would they'd never operate in highly dense area like highly
dense uh populous areas you know because of the possible outcomes of it and things like that but
it's like how the fuck do you really know if somebody else isn't doing that you know like lockheed or somebody yeah you know griffin or
whoever you know um it is weird um especially like i was talking about a few weeks ago too
when there's a lot of these radar maps that are coming out these really strange patterns on them
that people can't explain and they look man-made um i mean that's not a that's not like conspiracy like that shit's
that shit is real like there are i'm not saying that it it's it is man-made but the fact that
there are these very strange anomalies formations yeah totally like that shit's real
and i mean all the shit that happened in west Virginia and then what North Carolina and West Virginia, like what last year, the year before that, I forgot what it was, all that flooding that happened.
That that storm stayed in this.
It was a hurricane type formation that stayed in the same area for like 20 hours straight.
Yeah. straight. Like, it's just bizarre. Yeah, you know. But I mean, you know, of course, that, you know,
figuring out how it happened or why it happened to pointing fingers isn't really the thing to do
right now. You know what I mean? Yeah, totally. It's just, it's just my mind that, you know,
I always think about that stuff. Because it's concerning. Yeah, totally. You know, it just makes you wonder.
It does. I just don't know how everything has an effect, right? There's a cause and effect to
anything in this world. It's all energy. It's all vibration. So if you do something over here,
you can't tell me that in some way it didn't affect it over here, you know? And I think we
just don't have enough evidence, you know, backing it,
but you're totally right.
We don't have any idea who's been doing this or how long they've been doing
I just, I think things catch up for sure.
And then nobody pays attention until something catastrophic happens.
That's the shittiest part.
I don't know why we're like that as humans.
We're not about, like, preventative.
We're not about, like, learning early.
We're about, like, when shit goes down, then we're like, oh, fuck.
Now this needs to change.
It's all about reacting versus responding.
Damn, Papa. Always with the knowledge. That is true. Yep. Damn, Papa.
Always with the knowledge.
So, Jed, I just saw you did a giveaway.
He's probably sleeping, bro.
He probably is, but I'll make sure I take care of him.
2 o'clock in the morning.
Part of the condition was that you had a Steam account as well
because I'm gifting the game and the NFT.
I don't want to just give the NFT away to be like, oh, I can just hold it and not use it. The point of it was to play the game and the nft i don't want to just just give the nft away to be like you know oh i can
just hold it and not use it the point of it was to play the game so he had to go and make like a
steam account apparently he was having issues doing that for you know in his country but he
he got it done um so i'm just wait i have this i sent him a friend request on steam so he'll
probably get back to me tomorrow and hook him up.
You know, it's interesting.
Do you think that a lot of people are so, that's where the game is, is on Steam, right?
So it's, see you guys, this is to me an opportunity.
Like if you were to talk to him and find out how he did it or whatever, to me, that is a way to get more information out there.
You know, to be like, if you're in this area and you just feel like you can't do it or you don't know how, just showing people that in a quick video, that's how you're going to get more engagement and other people to come in.
Because if they think, oh, well, I just can't do it because in my country it doesn't work, then you lose a bunch of potential people.
It's kind of bullshit that so many people have so many issues just because they're in Africa or something.
Dude, it's always Nigeria.
It's always Nigeria. I know fucked. It's always Nigeria.
I just got done napping for a little while.
I was watching some UFO shit and passed out.
What would you do if you saw an alien, bro?
You just saw like a spaceship and an alien just like, you know, he just rolled out and just like was staring at you. What would you do if you saw an alien bro You just saw like a spaceship And an alien just like
You know he just rolled out
And just like was staring at you
Dude I would hope he wouldn't roll out too quick
I'm in tech dog I'd put an AR to his face and blow it the fuck off
My mom says that too she's like oh if I sound alien I would totally go with him
We just like go smoke weed. I'm like, okay mom fucking 60s baby. That's her, bro. She's a big chiefer.
I don't know what I would do.
I'd probably stare at it, but I don't know.
I just want to know, like, what can you help me with?
Like, do you think we're all just so ridiculously dumb?
That's why I think they don't want to contact us, because they probably think we're just ridiculously stupid. So. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Oh, dude. Have you guys seen all the shit
people are talking about? I mean, look, this is the internet. So I'm sure the majority of it is
just people being dumb. Yeah. But there's all these videos coming out from like around the country of people outside
hearing these loud bangs and stuff in the sky. And wasn't there one like in the hood or something?
That's what that's what the no, I'm not joking. That's what it's. Yeah, that's what it said.
They were like, everybody in the hood heard it. It's how the lights. Yeah, dude, I don't know.
It's it's some interesting stuff. But I mean, that kind of you know what I mean. Yeah, dude. I don't know. It's some interesting stuff.
But I mean, that kind of, you know what I mean?
There's so many trolls out there.
Like you see like in the middle of Kentucky, in the middle of Tennessee, in the middle of West Virginia, everybody's hearing these really, really loud like bangs and booms in the sky.
And there's no lightning.
There's no storm or anything like that
and this was like not it wasn't on the fourth of july you know what i mean yeah yeah there's no
excuse yeah well there's this massive rabbit hole that it's it's actually a galactic war going in
going on in the sky right now i mean it's it's like it's like in the other realm that we just were not there yet.
Or they're not. Oh, that's true. Like, I'm not saying that it's bullshit, but my bullshit meter
is going off. But I just think it's interesting. You know what I mean? It's like funny. Like,
I mean, if it was real, like, that'd be fucking crazy.
But I don't necessarily think it's real.
People have been seeing all these, like, things falling from the sky.
There was, like, a comet or something that came out of the sky somewhere on the East Coast.
And there was another lady who, like, saw these three eyes.
Like, it's all captured on film too. I mean
it could just be a comet. It could just be a fucking meteor.
You know or something. Yeah.
Coming up in the atmosphere. Could be a fucking
starling coming down. Who knows. Yeah.
That's true. I don't know. I'm pretty
like intergalactic. I think
that'd be dope. I don't know.
Yeah. That would be pretty interesting.
It would be. I mean, but like I've talked about a million times, there's so many people who've been locked up for their entire lives because
they were crazy because they saw shit and all the government's like, yeah, so?
Yeah. There totally aren't aliens.
What are you talking about?
Why would you even be so stupid to ask a question like that?
Babe, I think I want to move.
I'm not sure, though, because I need to know, like, what shit happens there.
But I'm looking at this place.
It's called Lake Garda in Italy.
Can you give me a home there, please?
Yeah, that would be an awesome place.
Yeah, that's up in the Alps area, I think.
So you're saying it's millions and millions of dollars?
But yeah, that would be taste. Probably. Probably. Great. Yeah.
Are they nice there, though?
I mean, when I had lunch in Italy, it was...
I'm just going to be like, I don't care.
And if I can look at views like that, like, I don't give a shit what else is going on, bro.
Just give me some groceries and we're good, right?
I don't need to deal with anybody.
Yeah, I think, so the difference, there's Lake, the two main, like, major famous lakes up in that area.
There's Lake Como and then there's Lake Garda.
And I think Lake Como is more of the luxury place whereas Lake
Garda is more of like a laid back chill
okay well and that's in Italy
Americans fuck I don't think they do
I don't think they tend to have issues
a lot of people in our other countries do not like Americans.
You just don't believe it.
They would like us, okay.
This guy has a confirmed 276 IQ.
He just smoked your IQ level, babe.
I had a question for you guys.
so this actually comes from the space that I was in earlier, chat app space.
And we were talking or they were talking, I was listening about what makes a good project and what makes a shitty project.
And I'm curious if anybody has any ideas on this because I'm trying to gather some information.
Like, what do you guys, what do you guys look for?
Like, what do you guys think that people are doing good?
And what do you think that people are doing bad?
And please don't give me that cookie cutter answer of it's good to have community.
Like, do you guys know Papa?
What makes a good project?
And what could projects do better?
Are you talking about specifically like an NFT project?
Or are you talking about specifically like an nft project are you talking about just i assume so i mean i'm not talking about like meme coins no because you could
have a meme coin project and you know the product i suppose would be the coin itself but i i would
think by your by your question it would be mostly NFT. Yeah. NFTs.
I guess really the question there in my mind would be depends on what to do.
I mean, like the number one would be, they don't like, you know, they live up to their, what they said they're going to do.
You know, they're going to.
And see me, I think roadmaps and all that are totally out.
I don't think anybody should even worry about that shit anymore.
I don't know what you call that, but I think that's a very...
Two, three year thing ago.
But I think there's still the concept of...
Maybe it's not so much that they do what
It's, it's, they live up to what they, what they had presented at the beginning.
Or like, you know, are they like, for example, what are, what are they, what
Are they trying to build, you know, like some sort of like, you irl brand are they trying to build like a you know just a a consumer lifestyle kind of like hey
i'm you know whatever are they trying to build a project of whatever you know if they're kind of
like they say this is what we're planning on being, are they holding to that?
Are they actually doing that instead of just raking in the money
and kind of, you know, either doing nothing with it
or spending it or, you know, whatever, right?
But what if there's people who literally do that?
Like, they like to get NFTs because they like the way they look and then they want to flip them for money.
Like what's the problem with that?
So I'm going to tell you something I think people are doing wrong.
if you have a project that is minting and you decide to not allow people to move those said items,
I think you're doing yourself a huge disservice.
Because why wouldn't you want that to be traded?
Because you're basically, this is the way I look at it, okay?
So I go and I'm like, you know what?
go buy these groceries. I got my groceries and the ingredients, but you know what, those have to sit
there on the shelf until there's enough people in the house to eat every bit of those groceries.
What's going to happen to those groceries? Those groceries are going to go bad.
And that's what I see a lot of projects doing right now.
And I don't understand why they go that way. Like, what is the reasoning for that approach?
You have to have the, there has to be the demand. And if you don't know what the demand is upfront,
then you should go low. You shouldn't go high. I see all kinds of people having 10, 20,000
go low you shouldn't go high i see all kinds of people having 10 20 000 uh piece projects
and they're only able to get rid of a thousand if that and then you're behind before you even
get ahead i'm just curious like why are it's just i don't know that's just one of my opinions like
what do you think about that yeah i mean those are all definitely valid concerns and um i i think if for for like no
the reason like okay the reason why of course they're um why like for example why everyone
might freeze a project right is to um you know like for example if there are people who go, they buy it
and then they go like the next day
and man, this thing still hasn't minted out
I'm just going to dump it, right?
People are so like paper handing this stuff, right?
But how are you making it any different
by making them hold on to it?
That doesn't make any sense either
because you have to have the momentum to keep up
in order for somebody to even want to hold it.
so then somebody else who maybe wasn't as
fortunate to be part of the whitelist or
it may be, are able to go and
pick that up. You see what I'm saying?
and to me that's why everybody
is so stuck in their echo chamber.
You mean like as far as like
they found like a really rare one
right, then of course they might
go, oh, that one's really worth
more than mint price or whatever
or they might go you know what hey that's that's like the the one for me that speaks you know to
my personality yeah exactly like that right um then they might like it's a pirate hat exactly
right right um then they might you know want to pay a little extra.
Most of the time, yeah, it would be because otherwise,
they could just... If people are just offloading them because they're like,
I didn't get one that I liked,
or this isn't doing anything fast enough, right?
Because they're so used to meme coins where like, you know, they,
they just hold and sell or buy and sell real quick. Right.
Then that kind of the lowering of the floor then means then you're not going
to get any new mints because they're all just going to buy off secondary.
And plus then not only is it just with the human people,
but there's also then the
So then, you know, if they've got bots that decide they're going to go ahead and buy stuff
and it's programmed that if it doesn't, you know, flip, then they'll start, you know,
selling for cheaper and cheaper and cheaper and whatever until they kind of just recover
Then again, that also would kind of impact your mints but
I wouldn't think that keeping it forever
you also have to deal with like
you want to make sure that you're
the word out, I guess, you know?
Make sure that you're trying to
Oh, that would be a clear vision.
I'm not saying roadmap, but as far as a
does it mean to be part of the project?
Other than if it's just, Hey, if I'm just here for some cool art, but sure.
But, but if you're actually like trying to do something, then being sure that you're able to articulate that.
So I think that's important in a, in a good, successful project.
Yeah. We got Babs with our hand up, babe a good, successful project. Yeah.
We got Babs with our hand up, babe.
So one thing I wanted to double check is if I confused you on the chat op space about the...
Not at all. not at all what what I
was what I was bringing over from the chat op space was the fact that you guys were actually
talking about um what what makes a successful exactly exactly thank you yeah that's what it
had nothing to do with them no I thought that was a fantastic space it was awesome oh thank you yeah
because it's a little confusing what they're doing so like their airdrop you won't be able to um you
won't be able to unlock the airdrop unless the whole token meets a certain market cap value um
but the nfts are going to be tradable right so um so and and some of the nfts are connected to the to the hedge fund so those
will be fully tradable um i think right away they don't i don't i have to ask bradnan about
the whole mint app thing the thing with the reason people don't um unlock the mint a lot of people
because what happens is paper hands will sell uh will list them for below mint price. And then why would anybody want to mint the collection out?
You know, if you can buy something for, you know, the mint price is $10, but you can buy it for $5.
I'm going to buy it for $5.
Most people will buy it for $5 versus mint it.
So, especially if it's more expensive than that.
You know, $10, I probably would go and support the project.
But if it's something that's like a $50 mint, I'm going to buy something if somebody paper
hands it for 10 bucks, I'm going to sneak that up. So I think that that's the main reason why
a lot of people lock their mints until they're minted out or they cut their collection,
which makes it hard when they cut their collection because they based a lot on their whole collection size and their budget and all of that kind of stuff.
A lot of times for a lot of projects who are relying on mint funds to fund their project, that's why they continue to push for mint out.
Because a lot of the things that they're wanting to do is contingent upon that upon that so when we were actually part of a project i'm just remembering this right now
we were actually part of a project where um if they had actually sold below mint so if they had
floored them they were actually um like not frozen what is that called maybe were they like burned
do you remember that are you talking about rich bulls yep that was not a bad idea if
you think about that so in retrospect of what's going on now yeah so just just a little backstory
on what that was right they basically um they were trying to hold an artificial floor price
of which by the way let me interject with that That's what I see every day anyway
So, sure, there are people who go, hey, we've got
You know, what they were trying to say is
Anybody who tried to sell their rich bull before
They were actually going to ban that,
um, that image, that image. Right. So basically what I did, what it is they did, they updated
the metadata and the JPEG to show, um, basically the generic, um, the generic image. And it was
basically like with a, um, a bull with a a poop on it on its head and it's a
band across it so basically then who would want to buy that band um image nobody because you
couldn't get it back it was just kind of like you know it wasn't burned but it was just like
no one's gonna buy that thing right that that's all fine and dandy but then you need you still need the demand
for one for someone to want to buy something at three eath right like i i could say that my
you know i don't know pick a random thing your tonal clippings are worth 3 ETH. Right. Exactly.
And if you want it, it's for sale.
Hey, I just got a collection that has a 3 ETH
floor. But that doesn't mean anyone's
Because people still want to have a real
So that goes into, and remember I talked to you about
this the other day, that goes into comps.
If our neighbor's house goes and sells for $243,000, then you have two doors down who have their house up for $642,000.
The likelihood of that house that going for $642,000, unless a person comes here and it meets absolutely every expectation,
unless a person comes here and it meets absolutely every expectation, it's probably not going to
happen because they could go buy the 242, put money into it and make it better for themselves.
So I don't understand why there's not some type of way for people to comp it because you have so
many different projects out here worth so many different prices and you have to look at the
collections. You have to look at the account.
Does the account have something to back this with?
It used to be very different and things are changing, but I just want to understand what people's opinions and ideas are
because I don't think things are going well right now.
And I also know it's not NFT season, right?
But it's just a huge concern of mine
because I see a lot of great projects out here
that are really struggling
and it sucks, I feel bad for them
yeah, this is a good conversation
honestly, because we're all
so in tune with the space
I think that's like Papa Bear said
a fucking rare baseball card or something like that, it's worth three million dollars.
Like, is someone actually going to buy it for three million dollars?
Because it's not worth that unless somebody actually buys it.
And then how many people out there are going to actually do that?
If you only got one crazy motherfucker in the world that wants to buy that
thing and they buy it, like who's buying it after them if they try to sell it,
But it's like, uh, same thing with, uh, with these NFTs.
Um, you know, we've all been involved in projects.
I'm sure all of us have that, like, you know, you get it.
There's a lot of promises.
Um, and nothing comes, comes through, you know, whether it it. There's a lot of promises and nothing comes through, you know, whether it's just a wall after a wall, whatever the excuse or the reasoning may be.
And ultimately, over time, like the utility of that NFT becomes like null.
Like there's no utility to it other than it just being something,
a JPEG in your fucking wallet. And, you know, I, you know, I'm, I have one right now that's like
that. And it's like, I don't know if you're not giving utility, you like, you have to make your
NFT valuable. Like you don't just print something out and everybody buys it and they create this online
community and that's it. You know what I mean? You have to offer something with it.
And I think that some developers, they get lost in the sauce. And they're seeing this one,
like in the beginning, they're seeing all this money coming in they're seeing this you know uh project thriving in a community sense and then as time
goes on and they don't do anything to uh influence the value more like bring utility to it um it just
slowly dies you know and then they disappear um and when the biggest thing that i can't stand is when motherfuckers are like yeah we're gonna
we got this coin you can come buy this coin and you know when it bonds you know we're going to
be distributing the coin to every all the holders you know and then it never bonds and then you see
them slowly sell the coin off and it's like what the fuck is that you know what i mean um and i feel like
sometimes people don't speak up about it i mean there's times where i wish i did but it's just
like not worth the fight for me like i'm just i just it just turns me off makes me veer away
um so really they're just doing the dirty laundry for us you know at that point but that sucks for
them dude because people who don't talk about these kind of things and really try to understand where others are coming from, they're losing money,
which loses the entire space money. We want new people to come in here, but yet we don't have
any real talks about it. And it's just, and honestly, you guys, I'm not fighting anybody's
project. I'm not, you know, talking shit about anybody specifically. It's just something I feel
like it needs to be spoken about. And I think that, you know, just here in the GPC and in our
space, you know, it's a safe space and I'm just wanting ideas because Papa tries all the time
to try to get me to do a project. I'm like, fuck no, bro. Hell no. Because it's a lot.
Like I, I want to talk about it with certain things you know what
i mean but i also don't want to um i i also don't want to uh upset certain people and things like
that you know um but you know that's that's on me for just kind of like walking away and not
really saying anything you know um completely, which I get is
not a good trend. Like you don't want that to happen with everything because then nothing will
change, you know, but it can be a really hard rope to walk sometimes. And it's like, you know,
you got more shit you got, you know, sometimes you think yourself, I got more important shit
going on. Totally. Worry about that. Yeah. You you know just there's so many fish out in the sea just find find a good batch you know what I mean yeah but
then you don't you don't want people like in these back channels right where we have a a hate group
going on and that's why this happens is because people get frustrated and they don't talk about
things yeah yeah I I do I think that no matter, if you're creating a project, you have got
to really bring value to everybody. And if the project's going under, you know, like if I started
a project, I would have some sort of a safety fund where if things did go south or they went
the wrong way, I could reimburse everybody the value that they put in, you know what I mean?
Or something like that. But I don't know that a lot of places or a lot of projects do that
because they just got their sights set high, you know, and then if things just dump off,
it's just crypto, you know what I mean? And it's like, but I don't know. That's the most
important thing, though, in my opinion, opinion is just utility that's all we all want
we don't want a fucking picture in our wallet that doesn't serve any fucking purpose like there's got
to be something in the real world that brings value to your life with it you know interesting
yeah by the way when it comes to utility there are different forms of utility both
like tangible and non-tangible right like? Like as far as it could be a simple of, you know,
maybe the networking opportunities that getting this group of certain people
together, you know, that has utility in and of itself, right?
Obviously we're all in this for, you know,
to try and maybe make money or, or like, you know, to try and maybe make money or, or like, you know,
build some sort of maybe even like better world, you know,
or try to advance the technology. But I,
there needs to be something, right?
Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah.
And there could be so many forms of utility.
I was just going to say that.
Everybody's utility means something different.
Yeah. I mean, even like MSC, you know what I mean?
Like, if you were an owner of their wallet, you can get online, go to the arcade, play AWU Climb.
Like, even if that was all it was, like, a gamer might really like that, you know what I mean?
And they might come out with more games later on, you know?
And I mean, there's a lot more utility to that, you know, other than just Able Climb.
But yeah, and it's all cooking too.
And at least they didn't fucking just fucking dive bomb the whole thing.
You know, they had the ability to pass the reins over to Rick
and leave him with a wallet, you know, with funds in it.
So that's very rare to see that happen, honestly.
Yeah, so for me, I'm always looking.
Well, now I'm always looking.
I didn't in the beginning. I lived and learned in this space.
But anything with real world assets, I'm really enjoying different projects that have a tangible component to them that is actually in progress.
Yeah, which is why I get excited about some of the different projects that I'm in.
And some of them I think are long term.
So I kind of always look for the founders and see, because basically you're investing
in startups for the most part.
And these kinds of, when you're here in the NFT space, these are basically your crowd
funding startups, which is, you know.
So you've got to find out, is the team agile and able to pivot?
Because 98% of all startups fail, right?
So I try and find a good team.
That's what I always invest in.
And then even if the project ends up, it's not going, because I know 98% of them fail.
If I've made good friends and met good people and have been able to encourage and, you know, have the relationships, then I find it a win.
Sure, it would be great to make money, you know.
And I mean, I guess that's why we're all here.
We're all looking for the beginning.
We're all looking to get in, you know, at Apple when it was one buck. Right.
So that's kind of what I look for as I was look for different teams that I believe in and tangible world.
You know, something that's actually happening that you can put your fingers on.
Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, that does make sense.
I've actually talked to Papa about this before, but a lot of them do remind me of startups.
You know, I'll get some kind of notification. I'm like, oh, that's awesome. I would totally buy
something like that. And they're like, well, it's not out yet. But if you put in this amount of
money, you'll get it for our cost at $59 instead of $600.
And then you think, okay, so then you go ahead and buy it.
And then it comes out maybe eight months or it never comes out and you just lose that money.
So it's a really good way to explain NFTs.
In essence, it is a, I guess you could say, what might be the next generation of, you know, fundraising for business type things, right?
Like crowd, what is that? Crowd raising?
I don't know what it's called. Crowd funding.
It is, but at the same time, we also have these grifters or these people who are out there who are just trying to see this as an easy way to make money.
That's always going to be a thing, I know.
I mean, they're just, even before we end.
But we need those kind of people.
And I think people that are in this space don't recognize and appreciate those types of people, too.
You need that movement okay
um hold on i think i need to either to get clarification or or something are you trying
to say we need grifters in this space that didn't sound right or i don't think that's what you're
trying to say we need people who are going to flip we need people who want to make money absolutely
if i go to a project i'm not going to go and get into something unless I see, I go look at volume.
I don't want to see that there's only been two mints done in the last week and a half and that it's held actually by one of the founders.
I look at things like that because I've learned over time.
learned over time so absolutely I think we need all kinds okay no I I will agree
I think we need all kinds.
with you that I I thought the way that it sounded like or the maybe you didn't
yeah I agree that we need the volume and we need people to be able to you know
buy and sell and you know get that excitement or get the you know volume
going but but as far as people misleading or
take advantage of the technology to
make a quick buck and then fade into the
shadows, no, we don't need that.
Is that Bubba? Bubba has his hand up.
Hello. I can end quite a bit here if it's okay.
So, so I, man, I'm, I'm trying to remember now all my points that come to my head, but no, I mean, Ninja Cat really changed a lot of how I look at things.
You know, we talked about utilities.
We talk about what we look for when we buy projects.
You guys talked about so many great points.
And, you know, what I've seen is what kind of has changed my views on this is a, you
know, originally it's like, okay, what are you? Are you a meme coin or
a utility coin? Well, a meme coin can turn into a utility coin. You know, we're, we're at a,
you know, God awful $24,000 market cap. Oh no, I could care less. And the reason why,
and I'll explain this is I'm looking at a project and I'm going to be very vague now and just say a project
as a business. You know, you talk about startup. Oh, can you hear me? I can hear him, Jed.
Oh no, Jed. Jed can't hear me. Anyway. So a project is like a business, you know, and if
you're going to start a business and you're going to start it expecting to be a millionaire in the first year, you got a rude awakening.
And this is why a lot of businesses fail, a lot of projects fail, because that's the mindset people have.
I'm going to start this project. We're going to pump real hard. I'm going to be a millionaire. And then what?
And that's where a lot of people fail. My mindset is a business style mindset.
I'm looking at this project as a business.
So I'm going to say, okay, I'm going to have to put in one, two, three years of my time.
And hopefully then it'll start to work out and I'll start being able to build and start being able to create.
Now, where a lot of that comes from is money.
We're all here. We're all here for of that comes from is money. We're all here. Maybe different reasons
money. Maybe somebody's like, hey, my goal is to pay my mortgage off. My goal is to do this.
My goal is to help people. That's what I was built for in this world, is to help people.
And in order to do that, I need the right tools to do that. So I have to have the mindset of focusing on that market cap eventually.
I'm going to have to find ways to pump it and make it move because the only way I'm going to get the tools that I need to do what I want, and tools being a.k.a. money, is creating that kind of volume.
The higher the market cap, the more we can
do as people. And that's where I think a lot of utilities can come from for projects that they
were. I was just at the co-plant, Coca-Cola, not Coke, in Atlanta. We went through Tennessee,
stopped in Atlanta on the way home. And, you know, it's fascinating hearing the beginning stories of
Coca-Cola and how it started. And in a lot of companies, you know, do's fascinating hearing the beginning stories of Coca-Cola and how it started.
And in a lot of companies, you know, do you think a lot of these companies that are just massive companies now expected to be where they were right now?
I highly doubt it, you know.
In fact, a lot of them didn't know what was going to happen.
They didn't expect what was going to happen.
You hear it all the time.
You know, it just, it just happens. And I think that that's, that's kind of what I,
what I look for as a future. Like I, we went to Dollywood up in Tennessee and this is my crazy
mind. Like, why couldn't we have a Ninja cat rollercoaster one day? Why not? Why, what,
what's going to stop me from pursuing these far out goals in life? If our market caps at a hundred million, 500 million, $1 billion market cap,
I have so much available to me to expand out and give to people and help people and educate people.
So I look at that and that changes.
That's really changed my mindset in this space to, to look at a long-term picture.
And that helps when you look at projects and say, oh, well, they're down 90%.
You know, does that team have the right mindset?
Are they there to try to get that 90% back to 80%?
Cause that's where they can cut out free or they're there to see this for the long haul, you know, five years, 10 years down
the road. So that's kind of how I look at it when I look at projects, but you know, that's just me.
No, I, I, I like that. I like what you said for sure. Um, and, and I, like I said, it's all
different for different people. I think it's just, I don't know. I think that, um, and also by the
way, I have no business background. So when I hear some people say that they're looking at it as a business, I appreciate you saying it like that, Bubba, because you're like, I'm not expecting to fucking go be a bajillionaire overnight, right? They have the funds to manipulate the situation and their floors or their projects.
And then you have people who don't, who just kind of get lucky.
It's also knowing the right people and getting the information out there.
I had asked Papa, is there a way for people to do comps?
Because to me, that is just, I don't know.
That just seems logical, right?
If you have a project that is six months old, they've got 5,000 NFTs, they have a coin,
and then there's another project that has 7,000, same type of, you know, they've been around for eight months.
Like, what are their numbers looking like?
And do people do that in this space?
Because I feel like they don't.
And then they get really frustrated when they're not moving faster.
But the reality is, is this is, there has to be comps.
There has to be something that makes sense to people.
It's just a, it's a very interesting thing.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. I'd agree with that. I mean, at the end of the day,
what you really have to look at is if I want to see volume and buys come in and I want to see the telegram going absolutely crazy, I can do that really quickly. I can pay KOLs.
They can shout our name out and we can give them supply that they're going to dump on
I wasn't always the lead of this project.
I was there from the beginning.
I didn't like where a lot of it was at the beginning.
And eventually we basically CTO to CTO and took it over.
And that's what happened.
We pumped a $2.1 million market cap. That's a big
market cap for a CTO like that. But it was all artificial. It was fake. It was not real.
And that's, at the end of the day, not what I'm looking for. But again, it will come down to the
time where, yeah, you have to put some money in. You have to create volume to sell a little bit to put back in.
And you just have to build a strong enough relationship with your community to realize what your goals are and what your, you know, where you plan on heading with everything.
So it's something that takes time, you know, and that's one thing in this space I've learned.
You can't fake. You can't fake time. That's it. You put the time in and eventually,
hopefully things work out. Right. Well, and I think it's about credibility too.
But to me, it sucks because you can lose your credibility so quickly, especially if you have
people that don't have your best interest at heart and then they decide to turn their backs
on you. And I see this a lot too with projects, right? I see people who are out there, their
writer dies, their founders, then they decide to go start something. And then that other project
is like, no bullshit. And then they then, you know, cock block them or, you know, prevent them
from moving and cause issues. So how does that work? You know what I mean? So you say it takes
time and you can't fake time, but then so is it about me stepping up and being like, oh, shit, dude, I've seen Bubba around here for three years now.
You know what I mean? Like, how do you know that? There's no.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and I think that's just what you who you surround yourself with.
Like, I get super picky who I get people communities all the time that reach out and they're like, Hey, let's collab.
And, you know, and, and I'll do my research and most of the time it's not going to be
I want to know everything I can about that, that community and that person behind it.
I mean, that is a real tough answer because, you know, I've just been super picky.
I, I, I work really close with Dream.
The community out there because.
I mean, this this project or crypto in general is just a vessel to him to to create what he wants to.
And that's his dream, the dream, the dream of what everyone has.
You know, everyone has you know everyone has
a dream so i i love that idea and you know we played around back and forth we bounced off each
other and now we work with each other a lot closer but yeah at the end of the day we could get really
embedded in there and then when they pump he could just dump on everyone and leave and then what what
what does it yeah let's say for for us for you yeah so that's
really tough i mean it is yeah it definitely is yeah that's the dark side of crypto for sure
for sure and it's funny though because i feel like that's even a real world now
um i think about i don't know about you guys but for a while it was really popular to go look at
reviews right i'd go look at reviews,
I'd go look at reviews, whether it was something I was buying or if I'm going to go over to that restaurant, you know, people would do these reviews.
And I was like, damn, well, this is highly rated.
Well, that's all smoke and mirrors now too.
It's really, really difficult to know.
And we don't have any kind of rating system here we don't have a way
to know like what have your um interactions been with this project um and show me proof of that
because now people are just paid to say whatever the fuck they you know what i mean it's just weird
that you know that that's a very valid point that you know could you imagine though if you could go
on like google reviews and look up an
nft project and see the reviews yeah like even i think you're i think you're on to something here
yeah exactly and that's why i was telling papa the only problem with that is it's going to be
botted to hell you know what i mean like it definitely is going to be i don't know i think you can you know i think you can really i
mean i would say 90 of of my business at the shop come from reviews from come from google most of
the time when i ask people how they hear about it they look at the reviews we have i don't know
1400 and something reviews and we're like 4.9 stars none of of it's botted. You know, we ask people to give us reviews because it does
help us. And I think people can recognize, I don't know, maybe I'm delusional to this, but
you know, I look at my reviews and I don't think they're, you know, they look like they're real
people. I mean, they are. There are customers that have left reviews. And when you leave a lasting
impression on people, when you actually give good service, people want to give that review because nowadays good service is so hard to find.
If you're a business out there, it's so easy to be good right now because, I mean, everyone sucks.
You know, all these companies just people don't care about their jobs.
People don't care about their jobs.
They don't care what they do.
They don't have pride in what they do anymore.
So it's so simple to be the best out there and just care about people.
And boom, you got great reviews coming through.
People are happy to give you reviews, which is why we have so many.
I think that's a good idea, though.
If there's a way to put in almost Google reviews for crypto projects or NFT projects, that would be amazing.
I don't know how you'd cut the bots out, but yeah, it's still, I mean, in my area, reviews are still very, very used.
I definitely think that that is the truth for like establishments or like food or, you know, when you're looking for a review on like Amazon to buy a product, you can definitely find very valuable reviews.
I just think in the nature of Web3 and crypto that if we did have something like that, like it would be fucking bought into hell probably.
Yeah. And not to say you couldn't find legitimate good reviews and
within that you just have to know your bullshit filter you know like have it on
pretty good but i i don't know maybe i'm wrong maybe maybe i'm wrong you never know i don't know
i might might be worth looking into because that's actually how like like early on you know um some
of the stuff that you know we're just we're sending supply out to people and doing this, and I just didn't
like it. And we had a pretty big investor that came in through one of our spaces. He just loved
how I was talking and blah, blah, blah. He bought a pretty massive bag. Well, one day he sold his
whole bag and he sent a message to everyone, hey, you guys aren't what I thought I left.
Well, this is a prime example of reviews. So I reached out to him and I'm like, hey, you guys aren't what I thought I left. Well, this is a prime example of reviews,
you know. So I reached out to them and I'm like, hey, I'm not, I don't want you back. I'm not trying
to get you back here. I want to know why you left. Like, give me, give me a bad review. You know,
those bad reviews are so crucial to, to companies and to projects to understand what people are
seeing from the outside. Cause you may see something and be like, Oh, Oh, this thing, everything's perfect PG Dory. And then they see something
they didn't like. And what it was is the people running the project. And that's what sparked that
original thing of saying, Hey, we're, we're not going to make it. And we're not going to be here
long. If we keep this up, we need a change of command. We need to move some people out of here.
we need a change of command. We need to, to move some people out of here. And, uh, but that was
that reach out. That was that bad review that made that, you know, it, it put it in front of
my face and said, Hey, here's a problem. So, you know, it may get botted, but you may get some real,
real, you know, use out of it. I don't know. That's something to look into. That's a good
idea. I wonder if the thing to do or the difference here would be
like the the people that you know like for example i i i don't care what what as so much what uh you
know sally from edmundston thinks about whatever but if i know hey mama bear likes this i know that
i trust mama bear so okay um i'm i'm more likely to, yeah, yeah. Most of the time.
Um, yes, I do. But so if there's something that you, you were into or you like, right. I'm like,
okay. And then I, I trust her judgment or I trust her whatever. Right. So I'm like, you know, if,
if Baba, you know, if he's like, yeah, you know, these, they're, these are, these are good guys,
you know, if he's like, yeah, you know, these, these are, these are good guys,
you know, um, I would be far more likely to, and I go, okay, I'll, I'll,
I'll believe that rather than, you know, some, some.
Well, you're right. Cause people can be paid. It's,
it's no different than the KOLs, right?
Just like Baba said, you can go pay a KOL. I can go have my,
my, uh, shit blasted out uh they get
aloe they dump on our heads it's just it's a constant circle and and i see reviews all the
time where people actually for a while they didn't have to disclose um but i think amazon and all of
them got in trouble but a lot of people don't even care about that they'll say that i this is a
promotional whatever and some of them don't do it at all. They'll say that this is a promotional whatever. And some of them don't
do it at all. And they literally had gotten that product for free or they were paid to do it to
give a review. And most of the time people are dick writers and they're going to sit there and
say everything is peachy keen. Well, let me tell you guys, I'll always tell you the truth about
about what I think. So that might not be good, right, babe?
what I think. So that might not be good, right, babe?
The key is just to say in a way that, you know.
I know. That's what I'm working on, you guys.
It's the delivery, right? You're like, you know.
The amount of times I hear this man tell me, it's the delivery, babe. It's the delivery.
Fuck's sake, I'm trying. God. He just wants my delivery better.
I think I'm a little, is that the word brash or harsh?
That's definitely something I struggle with.
I swear I saw Rick's hand up earlier and I didn't want to discount him
because I know he is an amazing project owner and been through all kinds of things that I have never even.
That's the other flip side of it.
There's things that I haven't been through that other people have because they're the front liners.
I'm using these shitty earphones.
So I hope you can hear me.
Are you out walking in the middle of the night because it's so hot?
No, actually, it's actually nice and breezy this evening.
So nice to just get a bit of a cool breeze walk.
But, yeah, you guys have been killing it with what you've been speaking about,
And these are all the things that I've been thinking about for the last three years.
You know, like, what is utility?
What do people actually want from a project?
Because it's not easy to answer that question.
People think it's easy, but really, like,
everyone wants something different, if you think about it.
Like, some people want the price to pump.
Some want actual utility.
Some want to feel a part of the project.
You know, and so you have to kind of just, for me anyway,
what I've been thinking about mostly is just,
actually, let me switch off these earphones.
They're annoying me to have one second.
Just an interjection really quick because I was starting to text it to you, Papa.
But how cool would that be if there was an organization,
some type of organization to things to where you have,
I'm just throwing names out there, you guys,
but Psychedelics Anonymous, Spooky guys, but psychedelics, psychedelics, anonymous, um, spooky boys,
uh, creep crew, maybe their stuff is very like, um, community lore driven. Um, maybe they,
and again, you guys, I'm, I'm just throwing names out there, but, um, you know, it's very much about
like, um, building a project together to, into stories, being part of the stories.
Then you have another project that is into community outreach.
Maybe they really like to be mindful of the environment.
Like what if there was a way for there to be categories
and then for people to fall in love with that utility
before they even see an image to attach to that?
So it would go back to instead of just
being wanting to buy into a project because you see it's floor pumping, it's like how we're
changing the meta to want to know who these people are behind the projects, right? And it would be
the same type of thing. Like what if there was a way to categorize things and then people would
be like, oh, this is my intro, kind of like like a filter like if i'm looking for a house right and i'm saying i'm i'm looking for three bedrooms two
baths um in this price range what if there was a an area to do something like that but as far as my
interests specifically so the way that i kind of got that was what if there was like a consumer reports
classification like hey I'm looking
RWA project or I'm looking for
How is the, you know, the business leaders that are running the project?
What, you know, like how, what is then?
What's going on in there?
And I think about Tricky, right?
Tricky is a perfect example for this because he is somebody who is very, he has struggled with his own health issues. He's very open about that. I'm not saying something that he hasn't. He has then decided he is going to take his health into his hands and has really decided to go the natural route this is something that they talk about over in um in mystic space for quack
life you get different categories of different things so maybe it's not just about oh my gosh
that is i love the art but what is more to it so i think that doing the inverse would be smarter
for projects does that make sense yeah yeah I think that it's
area like the main thing I think
that obviously as a leader that
you need to think about is longevity
of the projects and keeping
the utility is all good and fine,
but you need to really, like, create revenue for the project
because if you think about it realistically,
without that, it just becomes, like, a piece of art.
Or, you know, like, it'll just be a JPEG on the blockchain.
Like, you need to build a solid business behind, you know,
behind the actual project.
So that's, I think, something that's very, very, very important
if you don't really think about.
And that can be through whatever.
Like, if it's royalties, whatever.
I don't think royalties are enough to sustain,
but you have to think of that because otherwise the project just does right like we've seen it over and over with other
projects like they just run out of capital um and so setting up like these web two businesses or
even just within web three finding a way of generating i mean it's very difficult
in web three because you get called an extractor if you like want to do another mentor you know so
like the best way is to try and get that uh funding from web two is what i've thought about
and personally you know i'm doing the pet brand. But in the last week, I was thinking, why should it just be limited to, like, pet brand?
Like, I want to do MyTotic by MSC, which is a clothing brand.
Then the pet brand has its own name, you know.
So all of these different things are going to be, like, MyToticC, uh, the pet brand by MSC.
And then you, the MSC becomes umbrella company.
So I think that like it just, that's just an example, but I think projects
really need to think of a way of generating some income.
Otherwise it's a business at the end of the day.
Like, and so you can't please hold the short term if it's a business at the end of the day like and so you can't please hold the short term
if it's going to hurt the project long term if that makes sense so that's just something that
that like like for example i could go in and and sweep the floor of munichiba club right now
club right now up to like 0.2 or an eth even but the thing is is that sustainable who is that
pleasing who like who who does who benefits from that does the project make money from that no does
the project does that mean the project's going to survive for another year no so that's what people don't understand
it's like when you when you're a founder you have to think of longevity and i think that
if your founder is thinking of that then you've got a smart founder you've got a founder that's
thinking long term but if your fund is just thinking of pumping the price and just trying
to get a quick little like then that's the wrong person because that is not
sustainable that is not our businesses are built businesses are built from the ground up you like
this shit gets really real when you go from being like a community manager to a founder
and then you're sitting in government offices meeting lawyers, going to accountants, but that's what needs to be done.
And a lot of these people have not done this shit. They've just done it like behind, like,
like in a gray area, like, like it just doesn't even really exist in a sense, you know?
Oh, did you see that yesterday too, Rick? It's funny that you bring up about how you have to
do that because that's not how it is here yet.
I think overseas is much more strict about things like that.
But I saw this post that came out yesterday about how the, was it the CIA, is actually creating their own task force for crypto scammers.
and that's really big news you guys yeah and it's needed because if we keep going the way that we go
And that's really big news, you guys.
and it needs to be like accountability and because otherwise no one wants to come into the space
no that like like yes oh you know decentralization let me let me just break the news to you guys. 99% of crypto is not decentralized.
It's semi-decentralized, but it's not decentralized.
He's the founder of Ethereum.
That's not decentralized.
They can freeze the blockchain.
They can move the blockchain.
Truly decentralized means that there's nobody controlling it. decentralized, they can freeze the blockchain. They can move the blockchain.
Truly decentralized means that there's nobody controlling it.
That there's no one that has any control over it. And almost every single blockchain, every single blockchain has someone that's pulling
the strings at the top, whether it be Solana, Ethereum.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can tell me any doesn't matter you can tell market makers everywhere i totally agree nothing is decentralized
and we all like oh decentralization anonymity that's why we love crypto bullshit everything
is centralized you go try draw out some crypto right now without going through like a bank or being like you you
know registered somewhere like where they can get your name almost impossible almost impossible like
even even they they try to shut down tornado cash it came down right okay you go to tornado but then
how do you get it from tornado into actual cash you know you have to kyc so there's not like this dream of decentralization is not something
that's happening right now so we have to go with what we have right and with that should yeah i was
just gonna say i think it's a it's a buzzword rick um i think that that's one of those things about
just like uh you know how PumpFun was moving everything we've
gone through with these different cycles. But it is really funny that you say that because I've
said that before too. I don't see how this is any more transparent when you can bundle, you can have
other wallets people don't know about. Like you can, people can move shady no matter what they do,
no matter what, if they are going to Bank of America or if
they're moving Solana. And another thing is Americans or just people in general, I say in
America, cause that's what I know, but we feel safe that we have money in banks because it's
quote FDIC insured. That doesn't mean shit either. So it's the same kind of thing here. And I totally
agree with you. There, there is no true decentralization here. It's just not, it's the same kind of thing here and i totally agree with you there there is no
true decentralization here it's just not it's a pipe dream exactly even you know p you can actually
go ask a right now you can ask rock or chat gbt take your pick go and ask what what which crypto
is truly decentralized and i'll tell you straight up like most like i'll say
like none almost like none are decentralized there's like a few ventures that people have
tried to but nothing is truly decentralized even bitcoin even bitcoin do you guys remember a few
years they i think they did they move the blocks back or they did something like that.
They did something to it.
Even with Ethereum, they froze it or something because there was some malicious.
They moved back the chain.
If it was decentralized, you wouldn't be able to do that shit.
So we're sitting here talking about
decentralization you know that doesn't really matter what what matters is the tech that's what
what is amazing about crypto it's the tech and we thinking like oh it's a decentralization aspect
that's it like that is part of what made like like, that was the origins of, like, of crypto, I think, was, like, being anonymous and, you know, all of that type of shit.
Like, that's not true anymore.
Like, people used to have to go and buy this shit and then go and, like, trade it on the street corner for cash.
I don't think many people know that.
What is that movie, Rick?
Do you know that movie I'm talking about?
It actually shows the Bitcoin.
I don't remember the name of it,
but it was a documentary about the rise of Bitcoin.
Anybody who is in crypto in this space anybody
should watch that movie seriously it's a trip oh man i know what you're talking about man i'm trying
to remember the name too the rise and rise if i'm gonna look it up yeah that because that shows that
exact face when people were like meeting in new york to like at like these almost like
conventions to like swap bitcoin for cash like how crazy is that shit that's where everything
started and now it's like you have to kind of go through a bank you know to get your money out
whether you whether you're using some shady bank or whatever the end of the day you still have to go through that that process to get
the cash out right yep it's called the rise and the rise of Bitcoin the rise and the rise of
Bitcoin yep it's very interesting it's actually from 2014 I think we watched it on Netflix you You guys seriously watch it. It's a trip.
Actually, to watch that now, 11 years after that would be wild probably.
And there's not a lot of information out there about it, you know?
And I do understand that too, you guys. I understand that the hope is that we're so early and that we're able to do things with our money in these situations and in these times that other people
are not even in yet but I still think that in the interim things have to be you know I just I want
to understand it more and I'm not going to feel comfortable to ever do a project until I see what
people maybe want and expect and And I don't want people
to be like, oh, it's mama and papa bears project. So we have to like, no, I want to know like,
what's the meat of it? Like, and I feel like I see that a lot too in web three is I see a lot
of fake ass people, not just fake it on the timeline, but everything is always peachy and
cream. You know what I mean? It's like, And if you say anything wrong, holy shit, it is.
You're fighting the project.
People can't just have a regular conversation and just be straight up with each other.
Like, I want you guys to tell me if I'm, damn, Mama, you're a little out of pocket today.
Like, that's what I want from you guys.
Because it's what I'll give to you.
You're a little out of pocket today,
I knew if I could count on anybody,
I think it's time for me to go take a time out.
but AJ, yeah. What time are we going to get on a call
Are we good after or what are you thinking
Hey Rick I messaged you as well too
I don't know if you saw that
You guys are having a block party
This Friday we're having a Mutant Records block party.
We spoke to a writer from G's, who was on The Space last night.
And he's going to give away a G's.
So that's a massive, that's like 408 prizes that's going to be given away.
So hopefully we're going to attract some artists, some DJs to come and perform, you know, to try and battle it out to win.
It starts 5 a.m. EST and it's going to be running all day, like until the evening.
Did you just say 5 a.m. EST?
Well, that's 10 a.m. for me.
So we're doing it like the Europeans.
So like when the Europeans wake up until when like USA wakes up.
Like we'll say like LA when LA wakes up which will be like which will be like what like we'll say like la when la wakes up so
at like 10 a.m la time we'll probably wrap it up yeah i better wake up early on that day babe
yeah that starts at 2 a.m our time then i guess yeah yeah and we'll we'll run we'll run at least
you can wake up and have your coffee and listen to the last few hours.
Speaking of coffee, this morning, AJ, I enjoyed your...
I'm going to botch the name of it.
I should have looked it up before I opened my mouth.
This is what happens when I forget what I'm talking about.
I can see it in my head, but I want to make sure I'm using the proper terms.
Good Lord, why is this not going?
You just can't throw me a fucking.
I actually sat down and read this.
I got the next thing prepared already prepared already too so oh do you so
so one thing i had to do is i had to like freeze it can you please make me an old lady for
well i figured if anything you could just pause it
um she just yelled something
I was asking if you could make me an old lady version
Because I'm sitting there and I have to like
Pause it and zoom in so I can read it
Literally, you don't even have to make it special
Just shoot me over whatever we're reading
And yeah, I appreciate that
You gotta help us disable it
One day, AJ, you're gonna know
How it feels to lose your sight
Oh god, don't put that on me.
You see, there you are being in my pocket again.
I knew it was happening a lot, damn.
I really don't want you to make anything special,
but I just want to be able to read it.
I want to make a shout-out real quick for,
there's a gentleman down there named Pokemon CTO.
He's one of my favorite AI artists.
He's down there listening in.
And it's kind of cool that he's repping the GPC and his spotlight or the
community spotlight on his profile too.
So y'all can shoot him a follow.
I am actually following him.
I feel like we've had a little bit of engagement with each other on the timeline.
But yes, you guys definitely give Pokemon CTO a follow.
They have the Green Pill Collective in their shit.
Now, if we can get them to get that green ring It'll be chef's kiss
Anybody who still wants their green ring
Let us know because we can give you
It's literally just this thing that you follow
And then Papa has it where you put your PFP in it
And then all you have to do is just go post it
Cool Yep Anybody who's interested I gotta it and then all you have to do is just go post it it's right babe it's already ready yeah cool
yep anybody who's interested i gotta i i i still need to do it the only reason i haven't is because
of the mutation the mutations i'm like waiting for them because have you seen what i'm going to
mutate my shiba to i'm sorry like i've already planned what it's going to look like even before
so i'm going to have to try and find their traits.
Hopefully I either re-roll it or hopefully someone will sell it to me.
But it's the FUD glasses, those like FUD goggles, the green ones.
You know, I love the green that you guys have in your collection.
It literally looks like the GPC.
It looks almost not toxic.
But you know what I mean?
Like that really, I love that shit.
It looks so dope with the colors.
Yeah, the pink. I like the pink as well.
Of the anti-duty. Very nice. the vibrant yes yeah yeah of the ads you're very nice so we've also um you know how we do like our wednesday law space with like uh pads and babs and and jed and you know everyone's kind of
contributed uh stories towards the the collective um we've actually i've my artist i've been speaking to him
and he's made the first villain so so pads has like he's come up with like some villains like
in the story which i thought was really cool i was like damn that's fucking that's like that's
crazy like villains like in the
collection that would be dope because you know how how in like superhero stories there's always like
the green goblin and all of that and if you look at the shebas they've all got weapons and
and you know it's obviously because they fought the gold collective who, who were like these, these ancient evil alien forces.
So bringing them to life,
bringing these new different villains that come from the stories every week,
bringing them into the collection as one of ones,
I don't want to speak too much,
but the first villain I saw like the mockup, like, well, not a mock too much but uh the first villain i saw like the
markup like well not a markup but like the first draft of it and it is so scary it's so scary but
it's so beautiful i love it you need a female villain too please that would be so sick rick
well well you know what i because there's so many ladies joining us um i would like to to know what, because there's so many ladies joining us, I would like to know what, like maybe a ribbon in the hair,
like on the one ear would be nice, like a pink ribbon or something like that.
I'm trying to think of some cool female traits.
I'll work with the artist, but we will throw some of those into the trade pool.
So when you do your swaps and mutations uh you can get
some some female traits and we can start to have a few female shibas because i think that it's
needed you know even like there's you could say there are already female shibas 100 because
some of them are but you just need a few more traits just to like accentuate that probably so
um i'm going to work with the artists and make those traits as well and and slowly introduce
more and more artists as well i'm looking for for different people who want to do uh shiba traits
and be in the pool because my dream is to have like 10 artists like contribute to the collection.
Like 10 artists contribute traits and you swap and you mix them all,
And it becomes like this new collection made by like a collective of artists.
I think a lot of people stick to one sorry babe go ahead
oh i was just gonna say if so you had if you had female ones would they be shebas
oh my god they would be shebas just just yes yes do you know what's so funny is because of my
accent chat gpt always thinks I'm saying Shibas.
And I'm like, what are you doing here?
Does that make the rest of us Shibas?
Understand that I've got a weird accent.
Does that make the rest of us Shibas?
It depends on how you identify, fool.
Shibas and Hebas were all the Shibas. I don't know. Shebas and Hebas were all the Shebas.
I don't know, Papa, of course.
I wanted to say hi really quick to Tricky Buddha
because we're actually closing down here soon.
What's up, Tricky Buddha?
It's Tricky Buddha from Defy Space Donkeys.
Get yourself a bag of weed.
Yeah, now I've got for sure COVID.
But yeah, I can't taste anything or smell much.
It's your first time, um yeah i thought i might
have had it at one point but i mean i was vaccinated and used to live inside because
i'm allergic to everything outside anyway so yeah when covid hit everyone started freaking out and
i'm like i've been doing this for 10 years yeah i've been preparing for this shit don't you worry
um so something i can give you advice on with the taste and smell thing,
I still have phantom smells that come through a long time after.
So all of a sudden I'll be smelling like trash.
Or the biggest one I smell is cigarette smoke.
And there's nobody in my house who smokes.
Like there's just no way it's cigarette smoke.
And it will be all night.
It's so strong. I'm a woman who's a cigarette smoke and it makes me nauseous. Oh, no way it's cigarette smoke and it will be all night it's so strong
cigarette smoke and it makes me nauseous oh yeah it's awful um so something i have to do a lot and
i know that you can actually do smell training i know it sounds crazy bro um but the that's what
the neurologist told me um because it's it messes with your olfactory smell. And so something I have to do is for me to get,
even to work my way to smell again,
just smell your own skin.
I know that sounds just out of control,
but like no soap on it, anything.
You just have to, it's like anything.
You exercise it, you can, you know, you can work it out.
Stimulate that area of your brain again.
So is it like in your lungs now or what do you think? It's definitely my throat's like really like tight. Tonsils are huge and
it's just like my chest feels a little constricted. Damn, I'm sorry. I hope that you get better.
Have you had anybody be banging on your back?
Have you had anybody be banging on your back? I'm huge into this you guys, seriously.
I'm huge into this, you guys, seriously.
So if you have them go along both sides, yeah, have them go behind you and along both sides of your spine.
Have your hands open to where the palm is down and have them smack from the top all the way down simultaneously and do it a few times a day.
Respiratory therapists were actually doing this during COVID
to try to break things up in the lungs.
I'm taking extra allergy meds because it reduces inflammation.
You're not on steroids or anything?
I just got through a round of steroids to get out of that last flare.
And I got COVID and then got sent to another flare as well.
So I'm having a Allegra D and it has like an expectorant in it.
So that kind of helps clean out your lungs a little bit.
Yeah, anytime I get sick, I have to go on Mucinex.
I have a pulmonologist that makes me go on Mucinex for two weeks.
And then I'm always on standby with steroids.
So I got long COVID, I think.
Nobody's ever formally diagnosed me with it.
But I have nodes on my lungs.
And I know you can get lung cancer and blah, blah, blah from not smoking.
But I had never had those nodes before I had gotten COVID.
So that's what they're called, right, babe?
They've been watching them for five years now.
But you know that that's also from the pollution in the air.
That would not surprise me.
I feel like just our environment.
That's a huge cause of it.
We all, all of our lungs are fucked because of all,
like the air that we breathe is so, so terrible.
Like, oh man, like it's just, it's not hard.
Like when you go out into like nature, you feel the difference.
Like you can actually feel the difference in air, which is crazy.
Because we breathing this shit in every single day it's
interesting you said that because papa and i were talking about something and i was i brought up
something and i was like yeah but what about this and papa's like i feel like we just can't win
everything is trying to kill us you know what i mean like we joke about like going to australia
and everything trying to kill you but then here just our food is trying to kill us so
i don't know i guess not thinking about it too much helps okay let's see all right so well tricky I hope that you feel
better um I don't know I'm sending you well wishes I think I gotta go to the doctor and get an x-ray
tomorrow because I think I smashed my tailbone on the freaking couch too.
Were you like, you were running and jumping and went da-da-da-da-da.
No, it was like a, it looked like it was like a, like a love seat type of two person couch.
That's kind of what it looked like.
And I sat between the two cushions and for some reason there was a wood bar right there.
I was like, these are two separate little boxes that look like one big cushy piece?
Well, now I'm like, I'm contacting Airbnb.
Like, this is fucking bullshit.
Why is that even a thing?
What the hell's wrong with these people?
That's not a very good idea.
My brother actually broke his tailbone on a, you know, those inflatable toys where it has like the slide and the water.
My kids had one when they were younger. Well, he was on that. One of my boys turned off the fan thing, the blower,
and he just fell down and he broke his tailbone.
And I guess it's very painful, so.
Yeah, it hurts where I sit.
You're going to be sitting on one of those fucking donuts.
I had to do that in high Right. I don't know.
I had to do that in high school. I broke my tailbone in wrestling.
I was in an all-guy private school,
so you could imagine being 14
with a little donut under my ass
all day for like two months.
It was pretty embarrassing.
So when you're taking a test and you move a little bit
in all-boys school? Yeah.
know that about you. Interesting.
Public school system was rough
Oh, I bet it was, dude. I can only imagine. My mom went to an all-girls school, but they had
more money for drugs, so everybody there was always fucked up. Because, I mean, their parents
had tons of money. You know what I mean? Like, that's where they got the good shit. It's always
the more, yeah, whatever, affluent, you know, that's where parents are not paying attention to shit, so.
My mom worked, like, three jobs to send me to school.
So, yeah, did not, was not easy for her to do it, but I was grateful, you know.
Okay, you guys, we're closing down.
I just want to tell everybody, thank you so much.
AJ, let's get on a call so we can get you situated.
