Yo, yo, yo!
What's up, what's up?
Just,
I'm just a mic check
and start to start.
Can you guys hear me?
Let me see some hands.
Can you guys hear me?
if you can't even
show you.
Great, I see Apple's hand.
Thank you.
Yeah,
Gawang,
y'all,
got it, great.
Okay, Hunter, nice.
Dittagin Cherry, nice, nice, nice, got it.
Sorry, I guess there was a little bit of hiccup on a Twitter space set up earlier.
So I do apologize for any inconvenience.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the Twitter space was a little
set up didn't set up to set up to a lot of it.
I'm sorry, I'm very much of it.
Many of them are a little bit of a little bit of a lot of it.
Again, I'm just a bit of sorry I'll give you.
Once again, I do want to apologize that set-ups.
The starting wasn't out as smooth, but that is another great point of the Web 3.
Something is always happening on popping, non-stop surprise.
Okay, so I see a lot of people who are joining back again.
Really appreciate it.
And I'm sure you guys will know sometimes it's at a K or AMA, that means you will see me speaking in Korean.
So, just want to let you guys know, some of them didn't know it was a Korean AMA.
Uh, it's a Korean AMA, uh, Hongkongolmally is a American, so,
I'm going to be a lot of people, I'm going to be a little bit some of
me a little bit of a certain guest here today.
Who say penguin cannot fly.
Here we go.
I think Luca.
Hey, hey, how you doing?
Hey, watsabi, wasabi, wasabi,
welcome to Korean AMA.
Happy to be here.
Yeah, man.
Do you like that?
Who said panging cannot fly?
You guys are rocking, killing all the markets, brother.
I appreciate that, and I love the energy and the enthusiasm.
It's a great way to start my morning.
I know it's your night, but it's my morning, so I appreciate it.
Trust me, brother. I speak Korea too, but it's to me, it's a great morning too.
I love it.
Uh, first, just to turn to energy, we're here.
Uh, I'll see what today.
Um, I'm a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
I'm just a social group of social media.
Mr. Monson's, no longer.
Think about it.
TMO to
Today, today,
this
this
opportunity to
give you
again
again
today
many
people
about
also
and Puggy
Penguin
other
for the
Pugentan
here
here
here
here today
and again
again
Okay, okay, once again, a rating.
Let me introduce Luca to people.
For the people who doesn't know who you are, Luca,
please introduce yourself to our audience today here.
Yeah, I'm the CEO of Puggy Penguins and the CEO of Igloo,
which owns Pudgy Penguins and contributes to Abstract Chain,
and I'm happy to be here.
Yeah, I'm welcome.
Luca, it's.
Perj penguin, CEO, C-O,
yeah, the president,
the DEPANG, me,
who's here,
that's also, also,
we're also, we're
sort of,
feel-so-feiltering
and then
it would be a good
time it's just
it would be
Alright, okay, so I see a lot of people here, and especially for the lot of Koreans in this space at the moment.
Please briefly introduce about Pugipengen and how did you start?
I'm sure you heard this so many times, but for the new people that just joined the Web 3 or they didn't know anything about Web 3 part, but they love penguins, please introduce briefly about Pugipengen.
Yeah, so I think Pudgy is trying to accomplish two things.
I think on one side of the spectrum, we want to be the world's next global IP in the face of
penguins around the world.
And I think the other side of it is we want to be crypto's mascot.
So I think we're the most popular crypto-native character today.
And I think we're the best representative for the industry.
And so all encompassing, like, what does that mean?
I think it starts and stops with us building an IP that...
you know, hundreds of millions of people know and love.
And that's games, that's movies and TV shows, that's products, that's collaborations.
You know, as you guys well know, we have a collaboration with line friends, which we just announced a month ago, which is a Korean native company, as well as Lote.
So we're doing a bunch of collectibles with Lote, which you guys will see here shortly.
But I think that that's really like our primary focus is just how do we, you know, create something that,
the entire world knows about.
And then subsequently, I think that will translate into the crypto ecosystem really well.
That's it all.
But one more last thing.
Out of every single animal, why is penguin?
What made you decide to go with penguin?
So I actually bought Pudgy Penguins. I didn't create it. So the story kind of goes in 2021,
NFTs were like the hottest thing ever. It was started by, in my opinion,
punks, apes, and penguins were mismanaged. And at the beginning of 2022, I actually bought
the project. So it will be three years in two weeks.
or in a week and a half.
But I will say that I think people love penguins,
and I think Pudgy Penguins is the best illustrated penguin out there.
And I think the penguin animal is severely underdeveloped.
So I actually think, like, the opportunity of the penguin is a huge one,
and one I'm excited to be leading the charge on.
Great. Thank you.
So, all...
All of all of things,
now, now, in the way of you
like, you're asking,
you're going to
sometimes,
sometimes,
why penguin is
this.
This is a project
not not.
Now,
now,
now,
now,
and two years
two years,
and two years
and then
first in the purge penguin
in a part of
the Pugue
and after

and then
came to a

question,
now,
and,
thank you,
thank you.
Before we start,
To the main question, that was to like a kind of introduce like a brief question.
People to you know explain what's the Puget Pangan, how you guys have started, what are you guys a kind of goal is, which is a great.
So before we start this AMA space, we kind of collected pre-A question from the audience.
What are the like a most question they might have?
So if you're ready, I'll be starting with my first question.
Awesome, great.
I will ask a question in Korean first,
and then I will translate back to in English.
We have a M.A.
Space to make a few questions.
We have some of the questions,
I'm going to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask me
and I'll try to ask you to ask for a question.
First question, let's start to let's
Abstract token, and Pugn and Pugue and Pangeg are holding
people, and then, and Puguex, Trician, and Pugn, and Pugn,
Token, EpsChain's a big Cicca-chonging or a
team of the idea of the team, or what's going to,
I'm going to ask, and I'm going to ask, and I'm going to ask you.
So here's the first question.
All right. People purchasing and holding Fudgee and Pango, which is the token,
to show the support and anticipation of abstract token.
After the launch, people are curious to know about what business item will drive the large market cap of Fuggy NFTs and a Pango token and apps chain.
And what are they any plans or achievements that you have any plans going on?
Yeah, so I think from our perspective, I think there's like a couple different pieces to the puzzle here.
I think the first piece of the puzzle is like when you look at Pudgy Penguins, the NFT, the NFT is for a very...
small group of people. Like the average person can't buy the NFT. So the NFT really to me like
exists as the first edition as the you know as a as an identity layer as a place where I think
crypto natives and web three participants can identify with a tribe and you know point themselves
into you know that community and that direction.
I think on the other side of it, Pengu is supposed to be the token for everyone, right?
I think that's like induced, I think that reflects in our distribution of Pengu.
And it's supposed to be that mechanism that taps into the deeper liquidity of the crypto space
that can, you know, be an anchor for a lot of the things that we're doing that doesn't necessarily
require somebody to spend $10, $20, $30, $40, $50,000 for an NFT.
And so I think there are two different vehicles in my respect.
Like, one is...
you know, a vehicle that acts as a social currency that is ingrained in, you know, everything that we do, you can buy, you know, products with it.
You can, you know, use it in some of the ecosystem initiatives that we'll be shipping here over the course of the next couple weeks and months.
And it also acts as something that I think has way deeper liquidity for some of the things that I think we're doing.
So and then the NFT on one side of the spectrum, I think is, you know, a form of, you know, tribalism and identity.
And then abstract is like not relevant to either of the two, right?
Abstract is called abstract.
And I think it's the best blockchain from a product perspective that's out there today.
And it's in its own territory and does its own thing.
So that's probably like the simple way that I would answer it.
Yeah, I think, I think that was great.
You know, I like how you said it is like a two different vehicle.
Yes, and I really appreciate that you know exactly...
the market about like if there's not many people could able to spend 10 20 30,000 to hold NFTs but the pangos yeah is for the tokens for everyone I like that and then you just just nailed it on that one abstract is abstract is the best like blockchain for the people which is great for the products yeah got it so
Two-gazes of an example of a year-just-sue.
Now, many people will also
people, too, $1,000, $2,000,
that's-and-bue, that-isang,
or that's either,
or so that's nother to invest in
and FITT's
noths.
So, so,
the NUP community
is, as a small group
and, and then,
the next one time
then, then,
Pengu,
PENGhs in the coin
is now, now, now
many people are now, many people
can't even for all of them,
and also, you know,
and, you know,
the money's a lot of,
that's a new thing is a
that's an token,
and then, and
Epstrik is best blockchain
of one in the world.
So they're in the world of
their own world,
they're making the
best blockchain
of the other,
so they're
these two-bludes
you know,
anyone
can't
easily,
a different, that's a different, that's open and
a ecosystem to be in-isputed
and they're doing what they're doing what
like to, like, together in other
different in a community, and,
and, and, a kind of community to make,
that kind of idea
just a lot of a little bit more than
a little bit more than,
this is a kind of a great thing.
So, small group, NFT,
started a small group, NFT,
started,
and then,
and in the best block chain
of the other,
and in the best blockchings,
and then
other people's
and get into
and so,
can't,
so can't,
I'm going to
make it,
thinking, I'm
thinking,
Okay,
good,
I'm going to go back.
This question is,
ETF is a sign-in-demean,
the public-anctomity
have been able to be able to be it
easy to get,
but the market's
really,
the market
people are
think that.
But,
ETF's
after,
people are actually
actually
still in
still
still is
not sure
In this, Pengu Coin in terms of how to how are you looking at
I'm just a question asked.
he's been a Pengu holder or
or maybe like a Pengu or like a new
things that have a new,
the questions,
I think this question is coming from the long-time supporter, Luca.
The question is,
If ETF is approved, legal stability will be secure,
and individual investor will be have easier access.
But I think instructional investor will have a real impact on the market.
Is that still understand that whether introductions will actually enter the market,
even though after the ETAF approval?
So basically there is asking that actual, actual ambassador will be entered even though after ETF approval.
I am curious about how Pugent Penguin, which is Pango coin, see this situation.
Yeah, so I think from our perspective, you know,
The way that my understanding of the world works is just like an insane amount of money,
like an unparalleled amount of money throthing around the traditional market in the UFs.
And you can't tap into that capital from our perspective.
Like you'll never be able to tap into that capital without some sort of institutional rail to tap into that.
Now,
When you launch an ETF and let's say the ETH gets approved, is that just like defaults assuming that like, oh, you know, all that capital is going to throft into your direction?
Like, no, not necessarily.
It's not like a, it doesn't like flip on a switch.
But it does allow for that to happen if you can tell an enticing enough story, which I think we can.
Right.
Like when you look at a crypto native project that is.
especially in the category that I think Pengu is in, which is like this more fun, whimsical, memetic category.
Like, if you look at, you know, our ability to resonate with traditional finance versus the next person, I think it's like two completely different ball fields, right?
Like, yeah.
Us as a crypto project, with products in Walmart, with global collaborations, with a ton of things that I think you guys are going to see here over the coming weeks and months, I think just kind of puts us in a different territory than I think the rest, which I think is enticing to that type of capital's appetite, which I think leaves us a lot more likely and prone to.
for that capital to throff in our direction.
So to answer your question simply,
you will never have those inflows
if you don't have a vehicle like that live and existing.
It will have, but you won't necessarily, like, guarantee those inflows.
So the first step is getting it approved.
Once it's approved, then you go and you work and you tell that story to the right, you know,
institutional funds, family offices, et cetera.
And then they will have, you know, basically with a couple clicks of a button, the ability
that get exposure, which...
you know, today is not necessarily the case.
But I believe in our ability to tell that story to that world in a way that I think very few tokens in this category or any token other than Pengu in this category can.
I like that. I really do.
I really like it and it was very impressive and I'm pretty sure I will ask you about that later after I translate your amazing statement in Korean
because a lot of people that might be not understanding a current U.S. market because they're in Korea.
Same thing even though I'm Korean, I'm based in U.S.
So if I go to Korea, I don't know their market.
So I think it is really great to tell them about the little bit of story behind it later on.
But let me just translate what you just said.
All right.
I'll be right back, Luca.
ETF, uh, ETF,
uh, ETF,
let's say it's
first,
first,
the final
to the
second is
a very good
start and
a good,
a good,
now,
now,
now,
now,
it's,
a good start-point.
This is a second-and-it-that-go-seignee
that it's not in,
the good-o-same,
you know,
they've got to
telling,
it's been
Ollay-gygant-tusers, really,
really, in the market market
in the market market,
in the market market,
there are really
amazing,
and much-unarche-economic
dollars,
and, now,
and then,
they're going to
get-to-mind-
and they're
and so,
and then
that the
government-to-do-
and getting
that about,
that's
some,
some,
some,
some,
I've been
a lot
That's now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now,
Walmart,
in America, really, really, really,
a big-geop-maughts.
I don't know that, I don't know that,
E-Mart or, or, or, or, or,
like, more, to, or, to,
like, more, a little, more than,
a market, a market,
in a market, or a market,
a market, and,
a market, and,
that's with
this is
a plan,
these are
all going
they're
having
these
this
this
storytelling
those
people's
then
then
those
times
again
again
panggo
coin
in this, how can't even, in a time,
you know,
and timegeting
and have been
that people
through the
people will
be able to
get to be
and then
that's
storytelling and
this story-telling
and this
and based
is a
fan-gub
just
not-
very,
really,
with a
voice-and-
and you're
saying-and-a-you-
Um, just a little bit aside chichat that I love to say.
Um, who, whose idea was it?
It wasn't your idea?
Who came up with the idea, the partner with the Walmart?
That was my idea.
Uh, but it, it was less of like my idea and more of like,
You know, I believe that Pudgy Penguins is going to be the face of penguins around the world and is close to becoming that.
And so, like, an obvious next step for us was doing physical products.
And, you know, I have had products in Walmart before the Pudgy Penguin product line.
So it was a relationship that I had and it seemed obvious.
But now we're now, it's pretty much everywhere at this point.
I mean,
Every meaningful store in the U.S., so Walmart, Target, Walgreens, GameStop, Hot Topic,
probably like a, there's probably a ton more.
And then internationally, too, or at least, you know, we're beginning in Asia to really start scaling it up.
So, yeah.
A big focus of mine, so you've got to hold me to it, is because we have the Lote collaboration and the line friends collaboration, I'm really trying to go big in Korea.
Seoul is one of my favorite places in the world, and it's a place that I think we can do really well in.
So you guys will see a lot more from us in Korea over the next year.
What are the products that you're focusing in the Warma Target GameStop?
Is it about those like a squishy mellow like kind of things?
Like a dolls or you try to make like a Funko pops or what are you like a main character?
Like you're focusing on those markets?
I think right now what you're going to see from us is we're actually going to get a new toy partner.
So we'll probably announce this sooner rather than later.
But.
We basically are moving our toy line to like a top three toy company in the world.
And we're going to go really hard on the mystery.
On the mystery figurines and the plush, I think, are going to be the two places that we're going to really just readjust our entire product line around.
So those, I think, I think, going to be the skews you're going to see from us.
Once we announce this new partnership, it's going to be, like, mainly predicated around those two items.
The last question before I translate, when people can actually see those are products planning to be alive, that people could able to buy online or regular market?
Yeah, so there's one collaboration on the blind box side that you guys might see sooner.
But the only problem with this part, like we've kind of...
been going with, we've been working with a smaller toy partner this whole time because I think one of the things we really appreciated about them was how fast they were.
One of the only issues about working with one of these big toy companies is they're a lot slower to move.
Now the quality, the product, like the experience is just exponentially better.
But I think you probably won't see these new products until, if I'm being honest, 2026, just because these guys all work 12 to 18 months out.
And we just recently have kind of established this new group.
So I think you'll see the best versions of the Pudgy Penguin products hit shelves in 2026.
Nice. So basically, eat that minute. Since we're going to see the new product lines respecting on 2026, 13 products that is already in live, you know, current Walmart, Target or GameStop, those going to be like a first edition. It's going to be very pricey then.
We have people who have, like, bought a ton of the first, uh, the first series. And I said, like, we're going to put it in a box and it'll come when it comes, which I thought.
Yeah.
It's pretty historic.
I mean, it's the first ever Web 3 crypto native mass market success story, truly, from a product perspective.
So even the people in Korea, they can still able to log in to those are like a Walmart or Target or GameStop website.
They could able to purchase the current item line or is all discontinued or sold out.
Yeah, you can still purchase stuff there.
Awesome.
Good.
So, I'm, sorry.
I'm, I'm going to be
un-oneeatheaned
Korean A.M.
Sorry.
I'll also.
I'll also
explain it,
it's very easy.
Now,
now,
the market
in the
different
in a
different
perjpengen items,
actually
one,
one was,
and one,
the target, and
game stop,
and then, purgypengen,
really,
real real items
meet up
is a
so I'm,
so I'm,
I'm,
2012-
year-
year-
year-
the top-
year-
top-th
top-st-
the most of the company
and company
this is
doing this
work is
doing this
and in
quality
this
country is
it's
either
or something
are really many
a lot of
it is a
so I'm
a question
I've been
asked
current
collections
are the
first
collection
because
that
we're
that
question
I'm going to
question
It's already just
just buy and
boxed
and they're
still
that's not
actually that
actually
that's
the collection
company
value
and value
get to
and they've been in there are.
But these collections,
in, in the whole country,
in the world,
or game stop,
these are in
internet to come
and then
is now,
and then,
is going to,
And, now,
maybe,
the game
and the
game with a
contract
and a
it's
time,
two,
year,
doing it
this
this
and Walmart, this
way or this
work,
this is
this is
and how
make you
and the
actually,
you know,
actually,
other things, you've already, once Walmart and a good relationship,
you've got to have a new relationship.
So that know-how of the power of
this power, this Pugin Penguin,
a Walmart,
like a big-oldeastern,
you know,
like, you can't get-ed-it-it-it-out-it-all-it-
and I'm able to look at it.
penguin, a different thing,
I've been, like,
I've got to have a penguin
and then,
and then,
you're saying,
and then,
you're thinking,
the penguin,
you, this,
the perjepengue,
this perjip penguin,
penguin, then a purgy penguin is to
be able to
that's a
point to
work on,
you're doing
and then
know,
Seoul,
around the
world,
the world,
the other
the country,
and the
most
the country,
and also
the country,
and I'm
Now, now, now, our
now, the
country,
the PENG-PENG holders
for the end of
people,
some more, some kind of, some of the other,
some of the event, and the activities,
like, and then-ditching,
bechewscied-pitcher-just-you-sept.
Now, the next question,
let's go back go back.
Now, the third question is.
The team is main-net-chusiness
for the current farming system
and there were
and a-garming system
there was a move-giv-as-it-a-old.
But, Perjee-Way, Pango Coing holding
is a bit ametable,
and the main net we are doing
is a good-outhing.
The main-net-wee
work is the same system
and the streamer
and streamer's-nexed
and a little
NFT holding
by XP V-EARs, some, is
a very-te-vroeners,
implewencer, streamer,
or a person,
and the platform,
use a more
good-sue
and more
is a more,
and what is
a swap,
and then
a small-eater
tip of
also,
change is not
that's-p
change-and-one
Betzik claim,
of the acton-backed-en-one question.
Okay.
The question, next question I have it is, I think this is also coming from the abstract,
the chain, the ecosystem.
The question was,
the team disliked the existing farming system for the main net launch
and made a bold move exclusive.
However, the benefit of holding Pango coin other than the Fudgee were abusing and their instant of activity of the current maintenance.
So basically what they're trying to explain and ask you is what would be the best way to earn like farming points on the ecosystem?
Because it's just only for the benefit for the only certain influencer or like a streamers only
Because they didn't really see the benefit of holding a Poggi coin like NFT is our error or the pango coin token
If you could explain that for the details or people a little bit on tips and know-how they'll be great
Yeah, I think the I think the questions along the lines of
for those who are not familiar, big pudgies, little pudgies, and certain ranks of Pengu holdings, basically get you a huge multiplier on XP.
And I think people maybe got the interpretation that that is the all and be all.
I've already said this a couple times, but I'll say it again because I know this is a different audience.
Like there's an...
there will be its own set of things for that holder base that is not relevant to XP.
I kind of looked as XP as like the cherry on top,
which is if you are participating in abstract and you are holding our assets,
then you can get something on top of it all,
which I think is XP multipliers.
And from my perspective,
those XP multipliers can completely change the weight of, I think, what you're doing.
And anybody who I think has played around with those knows that those roles can make all the difference in terms of like where you rank.
So my advice is if you are participating in the abstract ecosystem and it is a place that you're spending time with on a daily basis, I think it would be a huge disservice to not have some of those roles, specifically around the NFT and the token holding.
And then to, you know, the NFT and token holders who don't want to participate in that,
I think, you know, it's pretty clear, you know, what I think will happen, you know,
if and when abstract TGEs for that set of ecosystem holders.
I mean, we basically were the only project that, you know, maybe to a fault,
but we just gave the biggest air drop, the eighth biggest air drop of all time.
So, like...
I think from that perspective, like, I think that's completely indicative and induative of, like, how we look at our community and how we take care of them.
So I'll let anybody else, like, interpret what they want out of that.
But, you know, if you're an NFT holder and you're a token holder, I think there'll be a bunch of really great moments for you throughout the year, regardless of if you have the role for abstract XP or not.
But if you are participating and you do use the chain,
I don't know why you wouldn't have those roles or want to get those roles because they make all the difference.
Like, seriously, they make all the difference.
So that would be my advice to them and probably my answer to that question.
Love it, Luca.
Love it.
Just one small tips that maybe you could share, like you just mentioned earlier.
Okay, it's not like everybody financially wealthy enough to buy the big pudgy.
And then maybe people could might be saved for the little pudgy.
However, let's just say for the people, yes, I don't really have money to buy none of your NFTs.
And maybe Pengu coin, I don't really have enough money to even hold certain amount of money for Pengu token.
What would be the best tips that know how you could share for those people that will love to participate your event and then get engaged with the abstract?
Is that just a simple badge claiming activity or what would be the best way little bit tips and know how you could share with them?
Probably a tip because I think the whole thing for us just speaking transparently like.
I don't want people to know how to farm abstract.
Like, I don't, right?
Like, it's intentionally vague.
And anyone who's frustrated at that vagueness, like, I'd probably say, like, dude, I apologize,
but that is intentional, right?
Like, we don't want you to know what gets what.
But I will give you a piece of alpha because we're rolling out this feature.
We are going to, you know, roll out follows and unfollows.
And I think one thing that will be weighted is how many followers somebody has versus the next persons.
So I do think follows will be important.
I think follows are important because it's a clear indicator to me, you know,
that somebody is, you know, making friends and building their presence within the ecosystem.
So I will say that, you know, when follows and unfollows come out,
I do recommend that you pay attention to them, and that's probably the only piece of alpha you'll ever get for me in terms of how to optimize for XP.
And it's not for current systems.
It's really for, you know, that new feature, I think, will be pretty meaningful.
So keep an eye out for that.
Like it, like it.
I could tell that you've been doing this for many, many times.
And I'm sure a lot of people asking a question, same question over and over, right?
So I do apologize if I ask you some of the question that you've been answered like a million times already.
But I really appreciate that you understand is a totally different market as well.
Yeah, of course. Thank you. I don't mind it all.
Alright, really appreciate it, thank you.
First, first, the most
most of the most of the first thing,
first,
Pugy Penguin,
and Lil purgy holders,
really,
really,
soapsop-it-en-oh-sop-ch-and-a
uh, just for, for, for, for their community, uh,
and supporting, and that's,
uh, some, like,
a lot of them, a lot of them,
airdrop is prepared,
you're ready to,
uh, and airdrop is prepared, and a certain,
and,
And in the ecosystem in the in-system in
this IPs in
the appellate
and it's a lot
and what do you
know what
I've got to
I've been
and then
that people to
give us
know-and-now-o-a-
question
and actually
that
not really
that is a
one of a
way that's
a way that's
want to not,
the answer is not so, I'm sorry
but I'm just going to be it
because they're doing
what I'm
how to finding
to do you
are not
wrong
that's not
that's
you're saying
if you
if you're
if you
if you're
in that
you can't
get you
And, now, now, now, and now, now, now,
work, if you can't,
that's in a role in a point in,
in, in that, in a pointeastern,
that's said, that's also,
so, so,
if you're more,
more just-dictional and then,
then,
then, you want to,
that XP, or,
or L'l, or,
other,
also, you'll take to,
and,
Holders for holders for this year, throughout the year,
or in a year, or for a year,
this is a different, you're going to give
a lot of
or an hour-long-long-soffotting
and so forthin'n,
if you're holding
people,
the hold-and-of-ne-of-ne-hield
and support-to-soffottings
and then,
the last time
there will be a good
news
or not it,
other community in the community's not,
we, now,
we're, now,
like, we're just a pretty
kind of things
sort of a lot to
sort of a lot to
so, so,
I also,
I also,
I also,
if I don't
not to,
these holders,
these holders are
these
At a may space to come to make up and a space to come and then
open C. Let's go ahead.
Okay.
We're towards to the end already.
Oh my God. Time flies.
Alright.
So another question is,
Where is the power coming from, you think, for Puget Pengen?
Because normally you guys are building up totally different than any other NFT projects.
I'm sure everybody agrees.
Even though your floor market, I'm sorry, I know you don't want to hear this,
but a lot of people who judge their project is by floor price.
You guys are always standing at the very highest price and the floor price,
and then you see a lot of support from the holders.
What is the power that you guys have?
That's something that we might missing.
What do you think?
Something strong powers that only Pugipengen has.
I think it's
I think it's a couple things.
I think it's like, you know, look, for the last couple of years,
like we've said everything that we said we were going to do.
And when I say that I think the best of the Pudgy Penguin story has yet to come,
I think all of the holders believe that because they've seen that over the last couple of years.
And they know that the best is yet to come.
So I think they're excited.
I think there's something to be said about...
the culture around, I think, the Pudgy Penguin ecosystem today.
I think a lot of people here have made so much money within the ecosystem that at this point,
they just feel like the penguin is of their identity.
And they know that over the course of time, that what's transpired over the last couple of years will continue to transpire.
So obviously we've been super generous and the things that we've done internally.
But, you know, Paggy Penguins is also a magnet for, you know, new ecosystems who want a TGE that want, you know, the right community members a part of it.
I think the other side of it is like, I think all of us believe that we can be the face of penguins, that we are crypto's mascot.
And I think like if you index the ecosystem on that, I think a lot of the current participants and holders that they still believe that that is not priced in.
And then I think it's just like probably the most important part is just like,
It's a real community and a real family in an industry that I think it's really hard to tell who's like a real person here.
And what I mean by that is like there's a lot of like NPCs and bots running around the timeline.
But if you ever met a pudgy penguin holder in real life, it really kind of changes, I think, your perspective on I think some of the worst parts of crypto.
I very much use it internally as like a signal that like, oh, if they're a Pudgy Penguin holder,
then they're like a real person.
And I think like if you actually ingrain yourself in the community, like there really isn't
a place in the world that you can't go that you won't be taken care of.
And I think it's just like a really great place to be a part of.
And if you look at the NFT landscape, I think there's only a couple that fall into that bucket, but
Pudgy Penguins has also been through some really hard time.
So, like, we've been able to filter out, I think, a lot of the people that I think some other groups weren't able to filter out.
And I think we've just got a really fun and great place to be.
I think if you look at this space holistically, I think you'll be hard pressed to find...
you know, an ecosystem like this.
And I think if you just put all the ingredients together, what's to come, the future, the potential,
the belief in that potential, the success thus far, the fact that every holder who's been
holding for years has already made back their Pudgy Penguin purchase multiple times over,
not because they sold any assets, because they got, you know, so much inbound from either
third parties or from the Igloo company directly.
Right.
Like nobody's rushing out the gates here.
And I think they know this is going to stand the test of time.
And so I think with that, like, I think people are comfy in their holdings and they just know that, you know, this stuff is going to work out.
And, you know, if anyone's going to compete here at the highest level and if you don't have like pudgy penguins in your top two or top three.
than like, you're just a hater at that point.
So I think everyone knows.
And we're the only cute one in the leaderboard, right?
And I think people believe in cute.
I think people like cute.
I think when you understand like our holder base,
we've got people from all walks of life.
I mean, we've definitely got the strongest...
woman holder base, I think, out of the top NFT collections. I think everyone would kind of agree with that.
Right. So it's just a, it's a, it's a, it's a concoction of a lot of things. But I think that
concoction makes it really makes it what it is today.
Of all that, thank you. There was a little joy. But out of all that, I really like the fact that, uh,
I could feel very confident like what you just said that, you know, there's a lot of things that already achieved, but there's more to come.
Even though you came this far, you're just, oh, I could see that you're humble to say that, yeah, it's just beginning.
I really, really, really.
got me very impressive on that sentence that it's just about to start it didn't really actually
started yet there's more come you know more things to come i think that kind of makes a lot of hope
that and that is why like people even though till now even though after pangut token was launched
people are still supporting and
I really hope, starting from this AMA, I'm sure there was a lot of Korean supporters,
but they cannot really engage too much because of the language barrier.
Hopefully we could able to work something out together so people could feel more confident
and understanding more better in their own language, so they could be more able to engage
to the Apodgypangan ecosystem. I really hope that.
So, first, the
I'm a lot of the time.
personally,
I'm also,
I've been,
I've been,
purgy penguins only
got to some
this is what's,
and how,
and how,
now,
now,
and how,
and how,
how much
projected
many projects,
too,
tokney
come and then
come back,
you're,
actually,
TG is after after the NFT's
then, now, the NFT's
the market is
like,
and then
then,
then,
again,
again,
again,
it's
many,
there are
how to, so, so, still,
this,
and so much,
and,
there's a lot of
there's a
there were
really,
there was
and there
and that
many things
some,
it's,
sort of,
it's,
They're, they're, and they're
and they're not
people, they're
going to get them
and then,
and then
the last many years
time,
they've been
saying,
just,
just,
and,
looking,
people,
the people,
the people,
and then,
the other,
people, like, actually,
some, you'd be
some, you'd be
more like
kind of,
I'm not,
and the
thing,
I've been
made by
and then,
and then,
then,
then,
the,
they're a
image is a
very cute,
and so,
that other
other project
than,
other other
other than,
some,
some,
like,
like,
like,
like,
this,
like,
Not a long-it-not-not-not-or-jom-it-so-he-seeked-so-he-seek.
Okay, I think we are towards to the end.
But I think this was the great AMA.
I really appreciate your valuable time, Luca.
I guess my last question that I have it for you is,
What are the things that people to prepare?
Like, what are the more things to the coming the next?
I understand there's things or toys are coming out on a 2026.
There's a lot of things that you're planning in.
But what are the some surprise that you might be just share a little bit just for our audience today that you could share?
What's next from Pudgy?
All I can say is I think this year will be our best year yet.
I know what's coming.
I know what we have in the pipeline.
I think nobody's going to see what's coming from some people have some ideas,
but I don't think people really understand what I think they're going to see this year.
So just know that.
I think if you saw the previous years from Pudgy Penguins and you were like, and every time, I've said this a couple times, but I was right every time I said it.
So don't fade.
Don't fade the statement because when I say something, I really mean it and I know it.
And I've been in this business long enough to know.
And I know the holder base enough to know what I think everybody thinks is coming.
And I can tell you, I think when it's all said and done, we're going to blow everyone's expectations through the roof.
So it's going to be a big year for us.
And I think it's going to kick off something throughout that that's going to lay the foundation for the years to come.
So that's as much as I can tell you.
But just know, if you saw previous things from Pudgy Penguins and you were impressed, this year is going to be the most impressive.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, uh,
it was a
Let me try to think the best way,
because your statement was really awesome.
So let me try to, uh,
not ruining your awesome statement back in Korean.
Now,
we're going to go-so-piont.
if you,
you're having our own things
were all that,
this is the other is that.
What's that,
what isang had,
you're your
Gidec's each other's issue is it,
I said,
I don't know
I'm just as well
I don't know
you've seen
our things
that you've
that
that's
but it's
ever,
this
over this
this,
this
more than
more than
you'll show up
and will show you,
Oh, some I'm a bit more than you.
Also, also, you know,
and credit cards, also, you're
really a lot of thing.
Damn, man, you make me got thinking.
Now I gotta call my Bank of America,
see how much loan I could get for my personal loan,
so I could get an NFT.
You are a great host, and it's been a great time,
and I appreciate you, I appreciate you having me on.
No, seriously, it's our honor and I'm sure that as far as I know, this is one of the very few that we had a Korean AMA with Poggi Pengain.
And I really, really appreciate your value of time today, Luca.
And just the last thing, do you have anything you like to say for a Korean audience before I let you go?
No, but I'll see you guys in Seoul in a couple months. I look forward to it.
Awesome. You're also based on U.S., right?
Miami.
Miami.
All right, man.
I'm in New York.
So maybe one day if you guys are having some event on New York, invite me.
I'll be there.
I couldn't join last year because I wasn't invited.
We'll do.
You'll get an invite personally from me.
Alright, brother Luca, we'll appreciate it.
So, last, we'll get you to you to see you in Seoul in a couple months.
Puzzle holders, uh, now, CEO,
you'll, now, now, CEO, will, and, you'll,
and then, also, you'll, also, you'll, also,
and you'll ask you to ask for you to ask for us.
Today, I'm here.
This is here.
The time time,
for you're really
very much
again,
I'm really
I'm going to
go go back
back.
I've Ruka,
thank you so much.
Enjoy your beautiful day.
Until next time,
until next time,
peace out.
