things out there in the world got a couple of people coming up who do we got we got the mad
quaker and dharma welcome to the stage
we'll get it here they come
hello mystic how are you good dharma how was your your camping trip your memorial day fishing
it was good uh really cool spot i went to enjoyed it a lot would have enjoyed it more if the
weather hadn't gone to shit um it got really bad but it was fun
when it wasn't torrential
hail I got trapped in a hailstorm
like a thousand feet down in this
ravine where the river was
and started scrambling back up
that was fun and I found a cave
and lots and lots of rain.
Fair drive getting out there, too.
Between the hail and the mountain lion.
I've been there where you're like, okay, you're cruising.
You're like, cool, okay, this is great.
Oh, wow, the trees have been scratched
off you're like oh boy yeah they were on my mind too because i was on a trail uh that looked like
cat and so i was already thinking about them it was like crazy dark out lightning constant
lightning and hail i was already thinking about cats and then realized I was standing in one's
So yeah, it's exciting. Gets the heart
But yeah, no bears, no wolves,
Oh, that's cool. You have
little horns, big horns, the antelope uh yeah little little
spiky horns they got horns are they like prong horns yeah nice they're they're small they're
pretty i don't know like mini deer mini deer like like miniature pony but obviously
Mini pony. I've seen some really small ponies
I'd say about that though.
Three and four feet tall.
Or like a big one maybe. cool they're just hanging out next
to me it was nice out yeah it was fun nice yeah i'm glad you got out and touched some some grass
and some hail all the elements more sand more sand shrubbery shrubbery all good things yeah yeah i spent a
little time out um doing some we we went to the beach a couple of times but it seems like
when my parents were in town the last week and uh it seems like every time i would pick to take
them to the beach it would all of a sudden decide to be like 30 mile per
hour winds and we don't have like the warmest beaches as it is but like both of them are
getting all wind burnt their faces their lips are getting chapped you know and we're only out there
for like I don't know 10 minutes at a time because it's just like kind of intense but you know they
live in the middle of the country so it's good for them to see
you know the ocean and they love it
the thing that makes her remember to
and I'm like wow it sounds like you should try
and find yourself a place close to
Would you like to always breathe?
That's a good saying, though.
Good words to depict that feeling.
I think anyone that's been next to the ocean can understand it.
Unless you don't like salt or something yeah for sure i mean even just like the lake way you know like it's not really
waves but like the sound on the shore or like a babbling creek you know some sort of water i feel
like i'm a big fan of the creeks yeah it's like programmed into our DNA to like be called to that.
Because it means life, right?
It would only make sense.
It's been, I don't know, it's been over a year
since I've seen the ocean.
Yeah, do you get it on the east coast
when you go, or where do you...
Yeah, we would go to Maine a lot.
a too far drive from where I was at.
It was maybe like six hours to get
At the point, there's some really cool spots.
Acadia National Park up there is some really cool spots. Acadia National Park up there
Just this park that's right on...
Some of it's kind of cliff-like.
Just gets out of the water.
and camp on little islands every year.
And then could get to Boston fairly uh boston's a cool place
dirty gross place but cool place the history there is very neat but it'd be a wild wild town
yeah i feel like i don't know much about maine i'm curious because I feel like I'm maybe like sheltered.
No, okay. So hold on. Oh man. So what is that? So I was going to say, like, all I know is
lighthouse and lobsters and cold.
Most everyone has fishing buoys hung on their houses. The houses are kind of a unique style.
Like if I see a house, sometimes I'm like, that looks like a house in Maine. I don't know. fishing buoys hung on their houses. The houses are kind of a unique style.
Like, if I see a house, sometimes I'm like,
that looks like a house in Maine.
They're just kind of like cottage, wood shingled type.
I don't even know how to describe the style. It sounds like weird.
We have some of that in our, like, little old fishing villages that are,
you know, I don't want to say like yeah like lots of red and blue and um
yeah like a lot of the places are kind of they almost look like little mini towns
like almost touristy but more just like the people who built them kind of had fun when they
were building them if that makes any sense like on these tiny little bridges and mini lighthouses and
statues and stuff everywhere um it's a cool place uh it's definitely like worth a
a vacation to go to Maine I think um especially if you like seafood like love seafood uh it's a cool spot to go it's just different than like pacific type
seafood i think uh not so much like elegant type there's definitely like really nice places in maine
um and definitely some areas with a lot of fucking money but it's so modest money
uh these people just have mansions like tucked in the woods um so it's kind of cool but yeah the food is just like hearty
and good everyone's super nice the land's really cool it sounds like a great place
but even the cold part i don't do the best with the cold part yeah definitely like a summer place
yeah it can be like pretty humid but in the summer it's nice.
The water's not as cold as the way you're used to.
Apart from that, going to San Francisco, family there.
We'll go there once in a while.
That's not so much like beach, ocean, but ocean nonetheless.
Yeah, bay and stuff. Well well next time you're in San Francisco
that'd be cool I don't know
I feel like going out and hanging out with him
he's been there his whole life
he's got these like hole in the wall places
I'm gonna do just a little bit of
update on some quack stuff
looks like there's been a couple
yeah then we can you know
if anybody like I said wants to hop up uh the space is open
um so we have right now exciting news for those of you who know him uh crypto stoner is uh picking
up uh marketing supplies uh currently and is headed to a Bitcoin Vegas conference tomorrow. And yeah, so we're really excited to have him
out there spreading the quack word.
There's quite a few, you know, big names
that are going to be attending as speakers.
So the turnout, I read somewhere
they're expecting like 30,000 people to show up.
And we have some stoners there.
There's a few other people from our, our kind of networks
that are going, that are going to be getting some marketing materials. Um, stoner set up a couple
places where he can leave some of our marketing materials at booths. And he's already got some
meetings set up with, uh, some, you know, prominent figures in the space. So that's pretty exciting.
And, you know, I mean, the vice president of the United States
is going to be there as like the main speaker. I mean, obviously Michael Saylor, and there's,
you know, a bunch of other really great people, CEOs of Robin Hood and, you know, some various
big name players, but I mean, the vice president. So I feel like just people are going to come,
you know, big money people just to kind of see some of those people talk, hear what their thoughts are on the, you know what we're building in real life too and how we're
bridging you know some web 3 and irl kind of systems to yeah to create quack so we're very
excited about that and we are running a little promotion during the time he's there and you know
so if anybody wants to mint three nfts then we'll go ahead and get you hooked up with an additional NFT.
You just need to come into Telegram and show us that you got three and we'll check it and get you a fresh one sent over.
The giveaway for the space today, though, if you want to retweet the space and then come into our telegram
the link is in our bio and uh you can post a duck gif say something quacky and leave your x handle
and uh we will enter you uh for a chance to win a quack nft um so make sure you check in with that
i also dropped the information of how to up in the, uh, we
call it the jumbotron and yeah, so you can follow along there. Um, we hit over 3000 followers
and shout out to D bros. I saw they just did too. So that's pretty, um, fun that that
happened. Um, you know, at the same time. Here we go.
I know. It just happened. That's pretty awesome.
I feel like we need to...
What looks like celebrate is
Where do you get the soundboard?
reaction thing, there's a little, like,
I don't get a wand with a poofy thing.
Whoa, that's very interesting. The fact that they don't have a duck
is extremely concerning to me
and I feel like we need to
really honestly that goes to Elon
like how can they have some of this stuff
but they don't have a duck
All right. Well, we'll write this down.
Like, that ain't right, bro.
It's only on iPhone, so, you know, I'm not a, I'm a coder,
so I'm anti anything iPhone, but I like Mac or anything.
The only time I use an iPad is for my music stuff,
for my in-ears, because it works great.
But, you know, you got the magic wand on your iPad.
Even on PC and desktop view for Windows,
they're still on a soundboard.
So that's why I have the Rodex.
We're having crypto guys in our chat right now,
or one of our chats bashing me for being an iPhone.
I'm not an Apple, like, I don't have Macs or anything,
but I just like iPhone and trust Apple.
But he's going to probably say something about that now. I don't have Macs or anything, but I just like iPhone and trust Apple. But
he's going to probably say
something about that now.
My wife is an iPhone person, too,
We're always giving this guy crap
for it, but he's the only one that can
test their games and test
their phones with the iPhone, so we need him.
I should rent out that service to y'all.
I don't have a problem with iPhones.
It's just like from a standpoint of like coding and custom customization,
they just have so many crazy strict features and stuff that I just don't want
I can totally understand that.
It's mostly a privacy and security thing for me.
I trust Apple with my data way more than definitely Samsung.
I'm just kind of iffy on with my data.
I've gone back and forth my whole life.
And I see the appeal with Android.
Especially if you're coding and wanting to develop stuff for a phone not apple um so you know what's crazy is the whole like
hitting 3 000 followers at the same time we're so close right now you have 3 000 one we have
3003 it's like it's like it's like okay do we is is it a race? Whoever gets to four first donates.
The value of the NFTs are different.
We could like donate NFTs to the other person's community or something.
We could work something out.
We're going to win, though.
I feel like the price APIs are a little bit off today.
I was looking at our ecosystem.
It shows like $128 every 32 days on the 30% APY.
So I reached out to one of our whales.
I was like, does your show the same price?
And he's like, he checks his Coinbase wallet and everything else.
And he's like, yeah, it does.
I'm like, all right, it's got to be something with the CoinGecko APIs or something.
Sometimes those prices, it's like, they're, I don't know.
Sometimes those price APIs get a little funky.
You know, they're perfect until they're not perfect.
you look, you're seeing different
information. That's why people leverage
some of them are getting bad
it's always been kind of bad but like
people anytime someone tells me
information they've seen on deck screen I'm like oh
some of them are just so bad.
I like the easability and the use.
I mean, it's still ridiculous the price you pay,
but even for information update,
but at least Dex Screener is $300, $299,
and it doesn't gouge you for just going back
and updating information.
You got Dex Tools, CMC, all these others.
And I've done tons of listings for projects and CMC and everything,
and it's just a little wild.
They're like, oh, we just changed this.
I'm like, well, good luck because if you want to change that information now,
it really says right here in the fine print that they will charge you the whole $5,000-something again,
like these money-gouging people out there, man.
Yeah, I got a serious bond to pick with with cmc i stopped using them honestly
i i mean i've been crypto for a damn long time and it was always cmc uh but yeah no i trying to
get stuff listed like we're we're just sitting on application right now just hoping that they're
actually going to look at it but it's wild and unless you want to
just give them thousands of dollars to make a change you're pretty much shit out of work yeah
but they'll also dump your information after a year too like i had this project i did like almost
a year and two months ago kind of listed everything and then like the information is just not like
there anymore so like they can just choose to just you to stop displaying anything down.
He's like, what? We paid for this.
I'm like, yeah, well, welcome to this
canceled them at this point.
I'm just thinking it's a waste of money. I get the exposure
stuff, but it's just crazy.
It costs so much money to start your project up,
the pool and everything else you deal with.
You got to tack CMC on top of it.
And then CoinGecko, like, oh yeah, you can list for free,
but they're getting a lot tighter.
Then they come back with BS excuses,
and now they've got this $1,000 guaranteed listing fee.
The one thing I have to say about CoinGecko though,
is they're kind of picky when it comes to what they'll list.
But if it's good, you get listed.
They're actually like pretty active, I think,
with the team or whoever's behind getting stuff listed.
Because like we had lists tried early,
and they're just, like, not enough pretty much yet.
And Hitmark's reapplied, and, like, two days later,
So they're at least, like, it's much easier to get on Quenka,
especially if you have, like, a real project,
that you have volume, you have a decent market cap.
Yeah, that's a little wild, because we tried four times the entire year and they turned us down each time with the
same excuse and we said you know what i don't care we haven't paid for koa we never paid for
post or repost nothing i don't care how big your accounts are like we can honestly say in one year
this is organic broke with no listing on coin gecko, no CMC, nothing, right? Like, just building.
Yeah, I feel like it changes too.
Like, seven, eight months ago,
I had a project that was at like 400K.
And I mean, it was pretty new.
But CoinGecko was just like,
yeah, we're not going to list you yet.
And we ended up paying them,
But after we paid, when they wouldn't have listed us before. i'm guaranteed they'll list us too if we paid a thousand bucks but i'm like dude we're a business we operate every day and
like a thousand bucks is just not like we can think of like so many other things to spend a
thousand bucks on to advance ourselves yeah i definitely agree
what do people want sometimes though Yeah, I definitely agree.
What do people want sometimes, though?
I think I had at least a good get applications in.
I saw the quacks headed to the BTC conference.
I saw that post from Stoner.
He's like, got it loaded.
I'm like, dang, I can see the FedEx wrap around it. I'm like dang i can see the fedex snap the fedex like wrap around it i'm like they overnighted the fat like get those things i don't know what you're talking
about man yeah right what are you saying i can't even look at the fedex logo anymore without seeing
the arrow yeah it was you know we hadn't gone into the whole thing thinking we were going to be able to make it um most of us are all busy and it was just it was a opportunities arose and everything kind of
clicked um which is amazing i think we're all very excited uh one that you know we have some sort of
presence there but all of us are just like i mean you guys know stoner he's just like an amazing dude
and i'm excited for him to be there just talking about us
like i hope he i'm really curious to hear him talk about just the conference like what he observed
and i want to i just want to hear his take on it like everything else aside so i'm excited that gpc
family pulling up for each other yeah right and uh so yeah i'm just very grateful and i'm excited
that he's there and we get to have some energy there with him
just is awesome so everything kind of clicking i think was just great for all of us and
i excited a bunch of people we know are going and just trying to give material to everyone and
yeah i wish we could go i'm excited to hear how it is yeah dude the last minute thing was so funny i we were trying to get t-shirts
dude they're quoting us like i think it was 80 a shirt i'm like like for a t-shirt because it was
like short notice and like and it had to be somewhere in vegas right and i guess they turns
out they jack up all their prices around major conferences you know and so it's
just crazy um and then actually canva if anyone uses canva for design you can print your design
straight from canva to like a fedex um pickup location and so that's super convenient like if
you're instead of me having to like order them and then mail them to somebody, like I can just pay for them myself and put in the right,
you know, FedEx that's close to them in their town and they can just go pick it up.
So you're doing all the graphics on that then? Cause that looked pretty cool. The flyers look
great. Yeah. Yeah. I've been doing all the graphics and all the content. It's pretty much
all her. Mine is all the like generated images people make on AI and different platforms and some stuff.
She doesn't want to toot her own horn, but it's all her.
When I saw it, I was like, dang.
And then we were over there.
And I know how tedious that could be, too, because I actually use Canva when I'm doing some kind of when I'm doing development builds for certain clients, I'll deliver images and
Figma and then the images aren't sized like exactly the way they'll fit on mobile and
So instead of like making a comment and waiting, I'll just like export it and head over to
Canva and resize it or take away the background or.
I know it is tedious, but it's actually the you
know an aspect that i really enjoy i think like the art side of things is where i'm finding more
um enjoyment you know making the nfts making the graphics you know doing those kinds of of
of things and spending my time there um it's like kind of like a puzzle but you don't know exactly like what it's
gonna look like you know like I used to do puzzles and I'd like look at the box um to know like where
to put the pieces but it's cool to just like come up with things on your own I mean a lot of stuff
I use is um you know starts as templates and things for um you know movement of certain images or certain styles.
But yeah, it's really a fun process.
I try, but with my ADHD, I'm like,
I'm already gone, done with it.
I'm like, all right, that's good.
Export, you know, ready to move on.
Well, if you ever need an extra hand on it,
yeah as you can tell you know look at all the the graphics and stuff that i i post on our
timeline that's like even all the dom stuff i just i don't even think about it i just go over
there and slap it on it's like my wife says the same thing too when i get up and like
go about my day like i don't even care if my clothes match i just just throw something on
and i'm like all right let's go you know like let's go let's get this oh we're going somewhere
nice like yeah well what's wrong with this oh put some melts on oh okay all right you know you better
pick it out for me or i'm just gonna go throw so like i don't know this top jacket on with a pair
of shorts and i would do that i wouldn't really do that i would do that in a sense like kind of like irritate her just say like just because she told me what i was wearing
but yeah i do i always throw on like crazy weird colorful stuff especially all my e-denver stuff
like i'll go out my e-denver shorts and this like white sweater and they're like it's like pink
purple and like white and everything all over it. And then I got my Pokemon shoes on.
I have like Pokemon characters everywhere.
So, you know, where I colored them all in with markers and stuff.
I'm just like this 35-year-old kid just walking around.
What was your weather like the past couple days down in Denver?
I'm north of you, and it was just like, it got bad.
Yeah. I'm north of you and it was just like it got oh you're in Colorado? yeah
well the house we bought is in Colorado Springs
more north now too so if you're
north then you're probably
no I'm up near like Loveland
whoops yeah north is loveland yeah i actually i
like that area there especially like thornton and stuff as well um but the weather up here
um yesterday it was funny um kai our little wallabies out there running around and all of a
sudden we start hearing pop pop pop pop pop right and it's hailing so it just started it was starting
to rain a little bit and the next thing you know it's like you can't see the the grass outside anymore it's just a bunch
of little white balls they weren't too big but it got a little after that it just rained for like
i think for the night and then we decided to cut down a tree on sunday and in our backyard and we
only had three hours of dry time and you know you know, it's Colorado. So we're like, hey, anybody could be a meteorologist here.
Yeah, your guess is as good as there.
So we're just like, it probably won't rain.
And if it does, it'll rain for 10 minutes.
And thank gosh we took that window that they said
because probably like an hour after they said
it was going to rain until 7 p.m.
and it ended up raining until 7 p.m.
So I was like, wow, spot on this time.
And that storm just obliterated me.
The hail that was up there was way bigger.
I was just sleeping in my truck.
But I was hiking and fishing at the time, really far away.
Nice, dude. I need to get out. I was telling my father-in-law the same thing i was like he he wanted me to get into fishing with him so like i think last year we got our fishing license
and i bought some like fly fishing gear and everything i didn't know i didn't know how to
fly fish so well i guess i would say like throw it no so we went we went to the lake over the i call it a
lake i mean it's basically like a giant pond but um over in uh um littleton not littleton like uh
i-70 and chatfield chatfield so went over to chatfield lake and you know just standing in
there just like you can see me for like hours just like with the back i try to get this like perfect throw you know it's like uh so i i we didn't even go fishing
at all so i he hits me up the other day and he goes yeah we need to go out go fishing i was like
yeah thank gosh we got our license he goes yeah they're expired i was like all, all right, all right,
Yeah, I liked him. I had hooked into
probably the biggest brown trout of my life
this weekend. I mean, he's huge.
I was up in the middle of nowhere
fishing on the North Platte. Huge fish in there.
What color fishing zone was it?
Was it a catch and release uh no it wasn't
protected uh land i i put them back anyway i catch so many fish and trout's not my not my favorite
honestly uh i sometimes keep them though but yeah i learned a trick with trout though it's like um
my grandmother told me this and i tried it i hate i hate mustard
and i would never even do it but my grandma told me so i figured you know it's got to be some
secret yeah i did and you know what dude it was like fishy chicken like okay so she said you know
she's like you don't baste it it's not like you're like putting mustard on a sandwich but she said
put some mustard in a little little bowl before beforeed – or put it in an egg and then battered and then threw it in the deep fryer.
But before any of that, you take like a small brush, like a barbecue brush, and you just lightly dab it in there and then brush each side of the fish.
Then you put it in the egg and then the breadcrumbs and then deep fry it.
And somehow the mustard and the fishiness
like neutralize each other out.
You don't taste any mustard at all.
It's just like fishy chicken.
I mean, they're like the chickens of the rivers, you know.
That's what you do with barbecue though.
In barbecue, it's a binder.
It's mostly what holds on the dry rub.
But most people use mustard mustard just like yellow mustard
they'll coat like a pork butt and mustard and then put all the spice on but i bet that's different i
bet it's doing something chemically that's changing yeah it's interesting i never would
have thought to put mustard on uh if your fish fingers fish yeah dude i know it's it's it works
it really does man it really works
if i didn't get a cap or lie like all right thanks grandma you know like that was a pro tip
that was a good one you have to teach that your kids someday yeah i mostly eat a walleye and
striped bass and crappie occasionally but most of that water is pretty muddy around here so the
crappie don't taste great but the there's really good walleye and really good straight
bass which I like but traps iffy if I'm camping or something I'll eat it
sometimes where they what is it like gamey meat you soak in milk right to like deer or something yeah you can't honestly any
gamey venison i don't know interesting never heard that it's like one of those grandma tricks yeah
it's so funny the grandma too i think but there's there's a funny story i really like so uh like
pork tenderloin like grandma always cut the pork tenderloin in a certain way
so like generations after her cut the pork tenderloin in a certain way and it turned out
her crock pot just didn't fit the pork tenderloin so she always had to trim off the ends
and I just thought that's so funny because we you know we pick up things that from from our elders
and people who have done things before and we might not realize like why they do some of those things,
It goes to show that we don't know why we do anything in this world.
We just do it because others do it.
Can you imagine wandering around and being like, Oh, I'm going to eat this.
Oh shit. That person died.
Well, what if we smash it up and we like, oh, I'm going to eat this. Oh, shit, that person died.
Well, what if we smash it up and we treat it with, you know, limestone or do this thing or soak it in the water for two weeks? Like, you know, just dang, that's some crazy stuff right there.
What's more crazy to me is like, like blowfish.
That like really toxic, you cut it the wrong way eat it you die like why were there so many
persistent people of like we must eat this fish it keeps killing people but like if there's a will
there's a way like that doesn't really it's the same thing with turtles and a bunch of other stuff
right it's like why you got plenty of other stuff to eat like why do you gotta why do you gotta put
that poor turtle in a soup you know like what's he what's he doing? He's too slow to get away.
How about you just take him for like the ride of his life?
Just pick him up and run as fast as you can.
Like he'll be able to go back and tell all of his homies.
Dude, there's a place here at the logger bar.
They have turtle races at the bar and you can like bet on your turtles and they totally race that sounds like so much fun i'm not gonna
even lie yeah i kind of some backcountry shit i gotta look into turtle racing now it's like a
small bar in like a pretty rural town but it's fun. Back in the South, we used to do nassgrass.
You just started hauling and racing.
You ain't had fun unless you've been on a souped up fucking lawnmower that pulls a wheelie the second you hit the gas.
For real, you just let go of that step brake and it's like, bop!
That's a redneck shit love it it's good good stuff i'd like to point out if you haven't heard that spacex for the first time today reused a booster which i think is very cool you know
they're constantly doing new stuff but But that's a cool one.
They successfully launched today on a reused booster.
I thought they'd been doing that.
No, today was the first time.
They launched the booster, it came down,
they put fuel in it and launched it again.
It did blow up when it was coming back into atmosphere,
but they weren't going to launch it again anyway.
It was just they wanted to make sure they could do it. And they did, which is cool.
You're never, I mean, you know what?
It's like, for as many trial
and error as they did, I mean, you have this
guy who's like, you know,
I mean, you know, the richest man in the world,
but, you know, only 20 years and
steps in the space industry and he's outdone
NASA, you know, that's still using 1960s
Like, it's a little wild.
The dude now catches his rockets.
Yeah, he's like, let's go play catch.
And you look at, like, it was a different day and age,
but you look at, like, the Saturn V, an impressive rocket, but...
And then you look at the grain silos.
Fucking Elon Musk is getting to fly out of orbit
and then come back and land on a platform
It's a little wild how big that thing, that rocket is.
It's a New York City skyscraper.
cameras and you don't really realize
actually how big it is, but it's a
Dude, when we saw when we were in uh southern california this winter and at the time we didn't know what it was and so we pulled
we saw it in the sky and we pulled over got out over like video unit i'm like who do i call where
do i check like what is this you know because they're like orb around it that it creates i mean it looks
just nuts and then we found out it was it was starlink but um it totally looks like aliens you
guys if you've never seen it was a satellite like one of the satellites flying over or something
it was like their launch of one of the satellites and so it like stayed really low it like looked
like like it was in you know Because it's in our atmosphere still.
So it was flying like a plane would.
The ring it makes around it.
And then the lights that it picks up
And then there's also these
little lights that follow it.
And so we're like, oh my gosh, this is a UFO.
following it. It makes such crazy patterns with those... that follow it and so we're like oh my gosh this is a ufo yeah that's just the drones like
it makes such crazy patterns with those uh engines those like raptor engines the way they converge
and like they form these like peaks and like it's just like wild there's so much cool footage of
like these like almost plasma looking plumes that come out of it they're just they're wild
they're it's crazy to hear the shock wave like when that thing's falling and it's like literally
being this you know the sound of i mean it's beating the like sound of or the travel of
light speed of sound that's it sorry i'm like exhausted from cody speed of sound and it's a
little wild that you don't hear anything until it's
literally about to land, and then
all these people that are just videoing from
miles away with super zoomed-in
dude, could you imagine being
any closer to that? It would probably
Definitely would just kill you
oh yeah they're just they're so cool to me
he's he's wow they're literally just like
they shouldn't do what they do but
and the way they take off too i mean the starship is
And it just, like, slowly lifts off.
It almost looks like CGI or something.
Like it's not real, yeah.
Yeah, it just, like, slowly floats up.
Just millions of pounds of thrust behind it.
How many mints are we at, Quack Life?
I can see people pop through. how many how many mints are we at quickly so you guys can go in and to telegram and watch them pop off lives um okay yeah which is exciting um because it shows now our version two of our mint bot is live thank you crypto guy and it makes i know so if anybody out there needs an
nft mint bot for their telegram it's super cool because it pulls you know the data from
the launch my nft page also from magic eden and so it shows if it's like been listed or traded
and it shows the rarity the number all the traits and so then everybody in telegram can like chat about it
And yeah, it's super super cool. Someone got 243
That one might have been me
It was you it was me. I know I've been trying to make because we're
Yeah, we have some giveaways we need to to do and some we're gonna be trying to bring
in some people from the bitcoin conference so i've been minting a few yeah but that's the hardest
thing is so i go to mint them to give away and then i pull like a 246 or like i haven't got i've
got like one pirate hat and i just got three more and this whole time you's just crazy. So, and it's really hard to give away.
And I think it'll get easier because I have like, you know, over a hundred of them.
And I'm like, oh, should be able to get rid of some of these.
It's like freaking quack.
You know, you got to get the quack.
I'm addicted. It's know. Yeah, it's a problem. I'm addicted.
It's all I spend my time on.
Thank you for the followers and the listeners.
For anybody that doesn't know,
and Debras, you're welcome to elaborate if you want.
He's got a team of really great devs,
and they just build really magical things for so many people on different chains.
And they have their own project token, NFT situation.
I would love to learn more about them as well.
But we're in talks about in the future building up some, you know, quack ecosystem stuff through their builders.
And, yeah, you're welcome to show a little or if you've got anything exciting coming up, I'd love to hear it, Deep Roads.
Oh, we're just waiting for our lawyers to get back to us on a few different things.
But, you know, our seed fund, we're trying to get our seed.
It's ready. I finished coding it, just waiting for the legal mumbo jumbo,
but our seed fund and our stable coin,
because we wanna be officially recognized
by the US government as a official US stable coin
and on their list because of their new regulations
And we wanna slightly try to navigate a way more.
Our ERC-20 will be there, but we'll give incentives
for coming over to our stable.
But as we've been at Denver Builders for four years,
almost two years with Coinbase and Base
We've done stuff, bunched up with ArcBlock
and over 10 different chains.
And so with our payment solution, we want to have it powered off of our own stable.
I know that we're currently building the corridor and stuff. We're doing a lot of stuff with
Abstract now too, with Dragon Punks. But not going to sell too much. I'm a little exhausted.
But yeah, I mean, we are a state and federal register company, and we are 100% legit.
I've been in this game since Bitcoin went live.
I remember the first day Ethereum went live, and I'm sitting there on the internet with EIP standards and trial by fire and error.
It's like, here's the docs. Have fun.
Back in the old school days of Node 14, now we're sitting around like Node 23, 22, you know, and a lot of great documentation and tech out there today.
But, yeah, you know, I love Web3.
It's a blessing that I get to wake up every day and literally make breakfast, go on a walk and go downstairs and code away for clients that our lawyers bring us and some other clients that just come in through consultations.
Like I said, we do a lot of build-a-thons and hack-a-thons.
We just entered the Coinbase batch build
trying to win their investment money.
We try to partake in some builds in places
to where we can get more of investments
than we can with just like prize money.
Prize money is great and all, but it doesn't really get you too much recognition. in places to where we can get more of a investments than we can with just like prize money.
Prize money is great and all, but it doesn't really get you too much
recognition, um, recognition.
And, you know, with Coinbase there, they have this marketing guaranteed
adoption, um, a lot of, a lot of great things that follow with base.
Um, and you know, try to, try to pick and choose because we're, I mean,
we busy building Lily every single day.
So like I just finished about it at like maybe 45 minutes ago, made some tacos.
Taco Tuesday, my favorite day.
The wife actually made them.
I'm not even going to take credit for it.
So I can't say I made them.
She made the tortillas from scratch and everything.
So I'm like, all right, babe.
They were good. They hit the spot. But yeah, man, I just, hey, don't do it, bro. You want to get up
here and lay down? You can get up here and lay down. But yeah, I mean, love building. So it's
fantastic that I get to just build in the space every single day. And when new chains kind of
pop off and they offer certain incentives and certain things, it's kind of, I don't know, I like the nerdiness of just reading to their docs.
Even when we started working with Dragon Punks, I didn't really know too much about Abstract Chain.
But after a week of literally reading through every single piece of their documentation, I know what their chain does very well now.
And we're going to build our first fully custom bridge for those guys called the Corridor.
That's how we're going to back their first native stable coin on abstract.
We're going to back it with the USD stable on base, and it'd be an exact one of one.
But we're calling it the Corridor, and it's going to have a couple extra special features and stuff.
So, yeah, we like to solve problems, too build tools we build tools and real and utilities we're really
big into utilities um we brought the the walking dead and the sms sms smsx on chain here like a few
months ago we just brought this broadway performance place here on chain that was at
consensus over in toronto um and somebody from
toronto reached out to us because i guess one of the speakers were talking about us on stage and
the stuff that we bring um on chain they're still a little bit confused about how it's possible i'm
like anything's possible man you just gotta have the right des you gotta have the right can-do
attitude and you know we're just we really like the aspect of just you know um utilities utility
utility utility this could be digital this This could be an IRL form.
It could be a mixture of both, but totally possible, totally doable.
And, you know, it's, you know,
so it's really great to just have everything digital. Yeah.
But if you can enjoy something in IRL and benefit from it,
from having something digital and web three, I don't know.
Yeah. Wow. You guys are really building a lot um congratulations for all that and getting recognized by you know people that hear about you and call you and and want to you know connect like
that's amazing um i i'm curious uh can you kind of explain a little bit about like the stable coin situation and how maybe it's
different from like a you know a token that we see you know on meme coins and such and explain
like what maybe the use is of that if that's too much too you did say you're exhausted so I want
to honor that it's all good I appreciate you looking out for me. I really do.
But so our stable will be a little bit different than like USDC.
We're going to be like fully backed on chain.
So like 100% on chain backed by, you know, people that believe in us.
So they can swap their current currencies to our stable for the exact one of one.
USD operates a little bit differently. They
definitely do have the exact sense of a one of one as well, but they're more 90% driven from IRL
in their bank account. So as we know, USDC doesn't exist. You can't just go and grab it, mint it,
anything else, right? You have to go to the legitimate company called Circle. I'm Coinbase. I'm an executive and I need $500 million of USDC. So I'm going to reach out to Circle that owns USDC. I'm going to
pay them $500 million with a bank wire transfer and then they're going to mint $500 million into
existence and then give it to us so we can sell it to people. And that's how it works. So that way
it has an exact one of one, but they're backing it
from a real life treasury. So if we look on chain, there says there's $60 million or I think it's
$60 million or $60 billion, something like that. But that means that that money is sitting somewhere
in a bank account. It's a trust system. It's like, hey, trust us that we have this. And it's a little crazy, but
that's why the government's putting a little bit of
regulations on stablecoins
because if you're saying it's
actually technically backed and
that's why they're putting a little bit of regulations
around it because they're like, hey,
the dollar is ours. So if you're going to say
that this is back and so forth,
it's pretty much shitting on their money if you're a scam um so well their money's already so exactly yeah i i contested that
bro if i could live if i get pro crypto every day like just out with the old yeah dude 15 years
of 15 what's 15 almost 16 years of something built by the people
with this whole beautiful consensus, everything.
Outdoing a 300-year-old system.
And they're actually conforming to us, not the opposite.
I think they're giving up.
They're like, okay, we can't actually control this.
So please give us a chance to.
And we're like, yeah, we'll fucking think about it.
No promises. Dude, I love Coinbase's commercials. give us a chance to and we're like yeah we'll we'll fucking think about it but no promise i love
i love coinbase's uh commercials i don't know if you see them or they're just like
your banking system sucks like try coinbase yes and the whole pizza one what is like the guy like
makes the pizza starts sending it out and everybody's taking a slice from it yeah that
one too i saw that recently.
That's good. That one was awesome.
So I was like, holy crap.
I mean, if you could explain anything better,
it's like, hey, put your money here, move it here,
have this company move it here.
Then they all take a slice.
By the time you get it, here's your remainder.
And it's like two weeks later and you're like,
wait a second, I was just trying to like
send $5 to my grandma. Like what happened?
be the PayPal mafia of Web3 and just open up those gates. We broke those boundaries at Eat
Denver when we actually just, we ignored every other bounty, which we probably shouldn't have
did, but it's okay. I mean, there was like $1.5 million on the table. Our category was like 25
grand. The three bounties we did for base and talked to Will and everybody there. We didn't
get to see Jesse because Jesse wasn't there at that year at
Eat Denver because he just had his baby. But we decided to tackle the credit card payments to
on-chain and account abstraction and leveraging their SDKs. And we made a pretty good breakthrough
with that. We didn't win, which was crazy. So we think the judges, they claim they were all
knowledgeable, but to me, they were just a bunch of kids. I don't think they were very knowledgeable, but that's okay. I don't care.
I have fun. We have fun. We went into it going, hey, if we lose, I'm not going to be mad or
anything at all. But technically, we looked at it as a win because when we left there,
we had two people that latched onto the tech right away. They were IRL companies
and they turned around and, you know,
there were $15,000 builds a piece. So in our eyes, you know, we, we still won.
I mean, who, who, who, no, no other Denver left,
no other builder left eat Denver with their product being used in, you know,
web two and web three businesses. So, and we,
we've got two other builds that it's going into right now. So we kind of see the demand for it.
So I decided to build like a full blown payment dashboard system using our stable coin.
So our stable coin of power, like a little small monthly, you know, dashboard to use.
There's launch pads and everything built into it for smart contracts that are audited and they're cloned directly from direct repos that we coded.
And basically you can launch a smart contract with a Stripe wallet attached to it.
An authorized wallet eliminates like it gives you fee-less transactions, gasless for the users.
They can have zeros across the board. So you can just immediately just launch, head over to the
payment link tab next, and just plug in your Stripe publishable key and your secret key.
And you can link it to your deployed contract and hit save.
And basically that's like a giant MevBot and stuff.
It handles all, we handle all the servers and everything on the backside.
You get like a custom VPS server that's branched off from our main servers.
And then it creates a embedded link for you.
So you can just, they can met with ETH
or they can met with credit card directly from your project.
And let's say you got a Wix site or anything else
and you're not a developer, no problem.
You can just copy that iframe, put it on your site
and now your site has account abstraction
and everything else there without paying thousands
of dollars for developers to do it.
Trying to make it very easy and seamless,
and that'll continue to grow into way more payment opportunities,
but we got to start somewhere.
Real development going on, you know, which is exciting.
I think most people, especially a lot of memers
and people who are focused on trading
are just not paying attention to the development that's happening.
And I just think we're in such a cool time.
And I know you probably agree with that
because you're part of like what's getting developed.
Yeah, I just feel like we're in the final frontier,
the last stages of mass adoption
built i think uh because i think there's the without the tools there's not much to do you
know especially with like true normies people who are not like non-crypto normies they have no
goddamn clue and it has to be able to be made uh like efficiently and the ease of use to be there well the sad part is nobody's
doing it right everybody's chasing this hype and the certain things like okay so i'll give an
example we're at eat denver and there's there's eight categories to choose from 95 of the builders
there because you're encouraged to walk around and chat and see and the judges are watching you
to make sure you're you're you're meeting with people walking around it's all part of the judging criteria and everything and
and at like 90 like okay like 90 of the people i talked to were building ai something with ai and
i was like okay all right i was like but what about this problem and we did we were going to tackle the
defi lending problem but then i was but then we were like yeah, no, let's try this. And so what we made was our first example
that we just made was on-chain subscriptions. So we set up, we contacted our lawyer, got a few
different legal docs, made like a little dummy legal Zoom site in a sense, and you can mint your monthly subscription or yearly subscription.
It'll never renew, but you'll always have a valid.
And let's say you have like six months left, you just go sell in the secondary marketplace.
Now the person can enjoy the last six months or whatever timeframe it is.
But we showed them that you can have zeros across the board, leverage account abstraction,
account abstraction, use ETH or credit card to check out.
use ETH or credit card to check out.
And we custom coded with less regulations, our Stripe engine APIs.
They handle all the heavy lifting on the backside and mints and indexes and just drops it in the connected wallet.
And then we showed it as an 80-year-old grandma would do or somebody else that's older,
wants to access this the same way, but not pay these constant monthly subscriptions that are going on and forgetting about them. And basically, after you get it dropped, you can just
click on the legal tab. And we even want to step further, like we showed how you can fill out this
doc. And then we allowed them to legally sign it, leveraging the IP and the signature from their
wallet that's connected to the site. And then they can just send it off. And it can be signed the
same way or somebody can sign it manually, but it's still a legal binding document. So that was like a one use case that we gave. So it's
really crazy. Like we said, it's really be nice to get people to focus more on like the companies
that are actually out there building. And the whole thing is like companies, you know, it takes
a lot to sit here and do this, even to like, as you know, to maintain those gold checkmark, to do certain things, to, you know, stay in the
limelight in this space as everybody's attention span is like three seconds and they're gone.
And so it's, we really need more people focusing on the builds and those aspects. And,
and because without us, without the people that are actually taking the step to do it
they won't exist these big companies are not out there doing it and they got they got millions of
dollars you know so like uh like quite based you know let's talk about arbitrage optimism
certain things you know i mean the list goes on um but they look for they look but here's what they
do is they like to waive their money and they they do competitions like these Eat Denver stuff, and they put out bounties, and they say, all right, whoever builds the – takes this bounty and does this cross-chain arbitrage bot from Arbitrum to blah, blah, blah, blah.
And you're like, okay, but – I mean that's cool, but you may not win, and they still don't pay attention to it, and they don't even adopt it.
But it's – I think there needs to be a little bit more attention to it and they don't even adopt it but you know it's i think there
needs to be a little bit more attention to those details and those fine things and the problem is
is that unfortunately we're still very segregated in web3 you know it's all about my project this
project and the gpc and these people that i met in here are fantastic and they're not like that but
90 95 of all the others out there just out looking for themselves certain things they kind
of act like they coexist and work together but i can tell you from like a standpoint of get me i'm
i can't say too much because like i have ndas and these big companies everything else too but
it's crazy how segregated and divided they are and you would think that they would not be
Well, you're building some really crazy stuff over there, D-Bros.
Yeah, we're kind of, you know, gearing up some things of, like,
how to help bring on, you know, more normies,
how to get people in our regular little hometowns that are open to crypto you know it's like a lot
of in real life stuff i get is like oh it's you know i know that crypto exists but i don't know
anything about it i don't know how it works why i would be interested what you know they don't know
literally nothing um and and so and what they what they have heard sometimes is just i mean obviously
if they've heard bitcoin stuff like the narratives has shifted i feel like a few years ago certain
news um sources were like you're gonna die if you buy bitcoin like it's the end of the world
like oh my gosh this thing is terrible yeah and now it's bet the guy who accepted all the bitcoin for that pizza back in
the day is not thinking that i wonder if he's right oh man i bet you could honestly
like watching the narrative shift you know has been really exciting um on like a mainstream
side of things but there's also been like meme coins popped and then there was everybody just getting rugged and
mass extraction and so that kind of scared everybody again and and so it's like kind of
a touchy subject you know or or people just think it's so far out of their reach like that they
couldn't possibly understand anything about it you know it's just too complicated instant block for people
just uh like oh there's there's crypto crypto's a thing but yeah just i like i like to say to him
you know some people be like blockchain like what does that mean i'm like all right well
let's separate the words here block chain okay chain, okay? A few seconds later, they're flipping you off.
And I'm saying they're blocks that are cryptographically linked together,
So you've seen the matrix, right?
Blockchain. For real. right the green there you go blockchain for real i'm like i see it for whatever reason if anybody
played qbert my brain sees like qbert blocks like moving along in the the space and like that's how
the chain is moving all the little cute cube uh qbert i forgot about that. Wasn't he in that Adam Sandler movie, Pixels?
You know, I don't think I've seen that one,
but I do think I know what you're talking about.
He's like the little purple.
He's like a little round guy.
He's like a little round guy.
That's how my brain envisions the blockchain.
I think there's like a family episode after that one too,
it's all night with this guy.
He was like jumping up and down,
like turning them all on.
it's all night with this damn guy.
um yeah you know just like getting so what it's turned into you know i was like oh maybe i'll
i'll host like i like to host events and and i'm like maybe i'll host an event about crypto and i'm
like damn but like i don't know if i could stand up there and like talk myself you know for a whole event and
so it's turned into like maybe like crypto club like you know put flyers out in local towns and
like try to get people to come together over crypto and maybe having you know people available
virtually like oh hey you know this person will literally walk you through how to set up a wallet or, you know, why Bitcoin is something you want to invest in or what parameters to use and what screeners to use when trying to play in the casino somewhat safely, you know, and just getting some education or getting some grassroots, like, you know, boots on the ground, kind of like, how are we actually
getting to the people? Because when I talk to people about X, like, people don't use it. You
know, they use Facebook and Instagram and TikTok. And it's like, seems to be a little bit like
celebrity or, you know, crypto Twitter. And, and so, you know, just trying to, you know crypto twitter and and so how you know just trying to you know
diversify more and get not just for quack but for for crypto because in in all reality like
that's what all of us need for all the projects to succeed is for people to feel safe and
comfortable and capable of doing you know know, things with the blockchain.
So, well, I agree. I agree with that. I tried to do from Facebook certain things. And I mean,
for starters, too many socials to manage is a freaking nightmare. And I never came over to X
until, you know, we decided to go public and everything else. And I was like, well,
that is, that is the place where all the crypto is, is mostly happening. You know,
if we were to just take the same approach we took here and just decided to go
on Facebook, we'd probably be banned by something on Facebook,
somebody to report something. Right. And we got a locked account,
trying to fight. And we realized over here, it's just,
it's not like that. Right. You see it everywhere. So if you see it,
if you see it everywhere, 90% of the time, then 90% of the people would be banned. But as we see it
kind of lightening up and everything, I heard somebody, maybe, I don't know if it was you or
somebody, I think it was in big man space this morning. I don't know if you were in there talking
about it. I think you guys were talking, somebody was talking about something about socials and
expanding over and trying to get more leverage on other socials with crypto.
And it's a little tricky, but yeah.
Yeah, you know, we just started, I got a scheduler, right?
And so we started Instagram and Facebook and YouTube, Reel or Shorts and Pinterest.
real or shorts and pinterest and what you know i got well the first time we started an instagram
i got banned before i even posted anything um so that was fun and then i like changed my profile
picture made the name put the bio in i probably said like solana or something you know in the bio and got banned and so now after I started posting just today
like five posts or so and they suspended me and then immediately gave it back to me
when I gave them my phone number um so you know we'll see how long that lasts um but Um, but I'm going to try to keep it more focused on like merch and NFTs and art and in real life
stuff and like try to not, you know, not like, Hey, buy my meme coin or, or whatnot and try to
avoid being banned, but we'll see it's risky. Um, but for now, as far as like management goes,
yeah, like we're just getting content out there there like i will only be able to check on notifications occasionally we have a
few people who have uh in the team have signed up to help with some of that which is really helpful
um you know just to manage notifications or to follow you know certain accounts or try like
there's so much to it besides just like oh let me put some posts out you know like
how do you get the post seen the most what kind of people are you following you know how are you
reacting to them what kind of hashtags like there's just so so much so yeah i agree we do
have an instagram i've had we had it for a little while before uh x so we have like 1400 followers on there, but it was the same. It's the same thing
with X right now. X, even having the gold check in certain things, like if I run certain ads,
like they give us credits, right? So I'm trying to use them up as well too, but wisely. If I
mention anything in the ad, just like trigger words of like crypto or buy this or
just anything, I have to word it ever so like slightly and brilliant to where, you know,
it won't because like they'll kick back and say, this doesn't meet our guidelines, you know, and
it's like, it's just promoting like Dex or something or just like head over here, check
this out, or stake over here that they're like, nope. yeah they are they don't you know they are very you know i would say you know
i don't know their freedom of speech and their their pro crypto stuff but when it comes to the
ads no bueno interesting yeah i mean i can see that yeah and that's what you know i hope that
cool projects like us and you and um you know people people in the GPC and other ones that, you know, we're not the only ones that are trying to do something good in the Web3 world.
So I just hope that, you know, enough of us will eventually, yeah, counteract that and let it be a little bit more open.
and let it be a little bit more open.
Or we'll figure out, like you're doing,
where, well, I can run that ad
if I just don't put the dollar sign in there
And it's everywhere, though.
I mean, especially if I was trying to run an ad
on Facebook or something and do that over there.
I mean, they'd probably flag me like twice as fast and maybe even like ran the account but i gave up my facebook
like a while ago and the scary part about facebook is i even try to delete it off my phone
and it's nearly impossible i hate facebook meta zuck that fuck can just like stop and that's fine
i mean why would you support a guy who
stole somebody else's idea?
You know what I'm saying?
He's gross. His company's gross.
I even watched his talk on Joe Rogan
and it's hard to even look
He has no emotion. It's like a 2x4.
He's got fucking bling on just like i don't know it's he reminds me of planky from ed ed and eddie just
i can see it yes he's not sucking it's planky
i would have totally i would have totally bought watch the
fight i think when elon said i'll fight to mark zuckerberg you know i was like yeah get him bro
yeah i wouldn't want to be hit by a poorly made brick either you know like that would i that
would have been a good betting fight unless duck like i don't know he'd hire the best like mma trainer in the world
he probably puts like chips in his elbows and somebody's like got a controller in the back
get some fresh batteries god damn robot oh my gosh dude i've seen some jeff bezos oh my gosh don't even get me started on that bro like the like oh my gosh dude like i don't
know if you my wife like was just stuck on that video forever she's like check out this video of
like all the faults they like where katie parry gets out and kiss the ground but they come back
and the ship they landed in it is just like pure clean and all white and everything it's not burned up in the atmosphere nothing she's like
he she tries to open the door and on camera he says oh no wait hold on and they're like
didn't even cut that seat out like it's right there oh man it was so bad
i don't even know if i saw that one yeah and his rocket looks like a giant pp it looks like
it reminds me of austin powers that whole thing of like that whole scene of get your get your nuts
here blue origins cooked after that they're just
yeah i he's he's on on he's trying so hard
tech i see you with your hand up you're welcome to to pop in whenever you like
i was just sitting here cracking up like i just popped in here i remember you said new energy
early and y'all out here cooking rich people like this has been the best kept secret for a podcast
like i'm sitting here being fat
eating my big ziti and I almost spit
something out, listening to Justin out here
roasting Bezos and Zuckerberg.
Like, I was not expecting
this kind of energy tonight.
Yeah, you know, we gotta keep our trust.
Dharma's like, yeah, let's
go. We can keep doing it.
I'm in for it. I'll trash those fucks all day every day
he's too rich to not deserve to get shit on
no I'm sure he finds it funny as fuck dude I saw to not deserve to get shit on. And he doesn't care.
No, I'm sure he finds it funny as fuck.
No, I think you changed it.
Over the back of the Tesla symbol,
they put a sticker that says,
I hate him too. And I i'm just like oh my gosh because i guess people were like blowing up teslas and like setting them on fire
and stuff you know what is so fucked up about that that you know it gets me heated so my buddy
works for tesla uh like manages repair teams for collision and warranty stuff.
He said business has been booming with like highly profitable work for them. Cause it's like broken glass,
like all these people protesting Tesla and Elon Musk are just giving him
it's straight up terrorism too,
If you're going to go out a lot and like key and burn down cars or bust out
like that's just like someone's personal car.
Imagine just driving down like crazy america you're just
driving down the road with your family and this person just gets out and like wants to like kill
you and like your whole family your car because you're driving a tesla and it's like dude what
the hell is wrong with you the videos are hilarious like these people don't realize that there's
cameras like all around there's one that came out all around the tesla yeah dude who like wipes shit all over the tesla he's like on camera i saw that multiple angles just like digging his fingers up
his ass to wipe shit all over the place like the dude is blasted like his face is there his family
probably saw him smear shit on someone and it's just like a person too like you're not getting
but that means he had to walk out of the house
Oh, he'd, like, come out of the store or something.
They were in a parking lot of, like, a fucking outlet mall.
Dude just wipes shit all over the fucking place
and walks away with fucking poopoo hands.
I'm pretty convinced that...
He probably licked his fingers clean.
It fucking tastes like chocolate. I'm pretty convinced that most of these people don't actually understand what they're protesting either they're just so amped up and want to go protest and like oh who are we fighting musk okay
let's go keep teslas they what are you doing on your on your sunday fun day oh you know just gotta go vandalize a few teslas
you know and like have like this holy street my face blasted all over social media you know
like go commit a crime yeah for like so many better crimes to commit yeah and one's like
against like the actual people that are the the thing you're upset with? Why don't you protest?
Can you imagine someone going and keying a fucking Prius?
Because they didn't agree with...
It's just like the hypocrisy behind all of it
is wild. Those people would be
Literally on camera screaming
if someone did that to their shit.
But they're fine going and keying
because they want to get back at Daddy Musk.
Like, you're dumb as fuck.
Dude, idiocracy is, like, you know,
I'd like for it to not be happening,
but it's kind of fucking happening.
You know, we're sitting here laughing about it,
but it's scary to think about that that's the generation
that will be running the country or trying to run the country.
So it just makes me scared. you got the military it will be like the weakest
military ever i mean i've even heard like other soldiers come out that have like retired and
talking about they're like oh yeah well you got these gen z soldiers and he's like we're doomed
with them you know he's like he's like i brought him in the office one day and i said you know hey
i'm either gonna let you go or court-martial you over this.
And he's like, I don't give a shit.
Dude, why did you join the military, bro?
This is not the attitude.
You're not the guy I would want looking over my back or in the foxhole with me.
It's a little scary to just think about.
Definitely. Yeah. And it's a little scary to to just think about definitely yeah i and you know it's wild too i was watching um that cheese roll thing right and i know it's been going on for like you know it's
like a generational like hundred couple couple hundred years or something but like what like
compels you to like you're like okay i'm gonna go jump off this, you know, I'm going to run to try to get this cheese.
But like, dude, I don't know if you guys have seen it.
Yeah, it's fucking hilarious.
You don't need to sign up to go do it.
But they're willingly fleeing themselves down a mountain in chase of a wheel of cheese.
Like that's the epitome of a wheel of cheese. Yeah. Like, that's the
epitome of human civilization
right there. Like, if anything,
we need more of whatever that is
fucked up shit that's happening. Like,
I don't chase after sausages
in Germany. Whatever it is.
that's entertainment. That's, like, why jackass
got big. yeah people like
unfortunately watch people get hurt
the jackass guys I mean it's hilarious
there wasn't even cheese involved though
at least they're doing the fruities
yeah I would do some fucked up shit for a whole wheel
yeah yeah that whole wheel of cheese might be worth five grand you know you don't know if
that's like authentic parmesan reggiano like that could have been like they have some aged ones that
are like 50 years old i sell for like a hundred thousand dollars a wheel like you don't know
what that dude they won't even sell them to the richest people i've watched one of those dudes walk in one of like the cheese stores lift up the big old wheel of cheese and the
owner comes out and he's like what are you doing he's like i'm buying this he goes no you're not
you peasant you're not buying that for real he like straight up he's like oh no he's like he's
like you know how much that is he goes i don't care about it i got the money he's like he's like
that's not the point he's's like, it's the principal.
He's like, you can go buy some of the other cheese on the shelf.
He's like, straight out of line.
He didn't want to part with it.
He's like, don't touch that.
He brought that over from Italy.
It would probably make the best Cheez-It.
Probably. I bet that cheese was really good whatever the hell it was that's shaking i saw that video though
hey coinsy how you doing today welcome to the state i'm i'm doing good i came in at a very
good time because i'll be honest, I'm quite hungry.
And this conversation of cheese is just, you don't get anything but cheese, but it's so perfectly placed.
And also, I have to say, I sense an RWA project brewing here, a high quality aged Parmigiano Reggiano on the blockchain.
RWA. I'm just saying everyone gets a
slice hey you're speaking my language bro we're all about the irl everyone gets a slice you know
so um yeah man any time any place uh no but i just wanted to stop in and say hi All friends here, Quack team
So I definitely wanted to spend some time here
And yeah, I'm just going to kind of
Be a fly on the wall a little bit
But appreciate the invite
Awesome, brother, good to hear from you
Hope you had a good holiday weekend
I almost got eaten by a mountain lion
But we're fucking made it
Yeah, can I hear a little bit about the camp? Because I was living vicariously through you I almost got eaten by a mountain lion, but we're fucking made it. We're still kidding.
Can I hear a little bit about the camp?
Because I was living vicariously through you.
I was like, I, it's been so long since I've camped, but I get to see these cool pictures.
So you almost got attacked by a mountain lion?
I went to this place. I think good, good. Maybe almost, though. Maybe. I went to this place up north in Colorado.
It was, like, out in the middle of fucking nowhere, like, genuinely.
But a big river runs through there, and I was camping at a spot and fishing the river.
And it was, like, a thousand-foot ravine, maybe, down to the river.
And I was there in the morning, and a crazy storm came in.
I started getting, like, just wrecked byed by like big hail with no trees around really.
So I like started scrambling up the ravine to get like get back to my truck.
I found a cave that I was like standing in for a second and looked down and I was just standing a bunch of mountain lion shit.
So I got out of there pretty quick and just like scrambled back and right as i made it back
and stopped hailing but the weather just went to shit from there and okay so that so that's actually
like an almost got eaten by a mountain lion without seeing it you pretty much had everything
i mean i was walking on his trail and i i knew i knew it like i'm in that type of land all the time. I'm not too worried.
I'm always heavily protected.
I'm just getting hit by large hail.
Knowing that there's probably a cat around.
And then taking a break out of breath.
And just realizing I'm standing in one's bathroom.
And just like carcasses around.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
Well, that's why you didn't see it.
You found it's potty spot, bro.
Yeah, it's like, look, I don't want to talk to that guy.
I don't even want to eat him because he found where I shit.
So I'm not messing with him.
around probably hiding somewhere but i'm happy meeting there's wolves around there i go but the
the cats definitely scare me i don't care about bears bears honestly like they don't want to fuck
with you uh big moose stood in front of like big bull moose not too scary but cats i they just
they're eerie as hell and the weird thing especially with that land and like where they're at
and even like bobcats and smaller ones but most of the time they're gonna be up in the trees
and normally like looking around left and right but you also have to like remember to like keep
looking up in the trees because they'll just like that's how they attack they just like pounce down on you yeah i mean i i grew up in arizona my whole life i just moved to florida somewhere
recently so i used to go hiking all the time go up on the trails and i've only seen three my entire
life i've only seen three but the fact that i saw them means that i wasn't going to get killed by
most most people they're beautiful. They're huge.
Especially mountain lions.
Bobcats, whatever, little cougars.
The actual big mountain lions,
I think after the second sighting,
I was like, okay, I've got to learn more.
It's if you know they're around
because they attack from behind.
You're not gonna see them, hear them. If they're on that
predatory mode that you see house cats
get into, right? They get all fucking
I'm gonna slit your throat mode.
You don't hear them move.
And especially early like, early.
They're beautiful, though.
But, like, early spring, I'm just, like, always on my mind with that stuff.
But a lot of the time I'm up there alone, miles from anyone else with no service.
I was actually kind of surprised I had service up there.
I think it's the new Starlink.
I'm on the T-Mobile, and they just released
It's not great, but it's something.
It's actually pretty cool.
I have a pretty crazy mountain line story actually um
so i was probably like like six or seven years old and we were at um i'm from the midwest and
we were out um like in a small town and my great great grandma she's 101, had this pool in her yard. She lived kind of in like up in the
hills and she hadn't kept the pool in like, since probably she was like 60. So, I mean, it was
green. Like there was, it was nasty. Like I remember I tried to like, I caught a fish and
And I was like, oh, I'm going to take it and put it in the pool.
I was like, oh, I'm going to take it and put it in the pool. And I put it in there and it died.
And I put it in there and it died.
Like the water was just bad, you know.
And so we were sitting out back.
And we're like on this like a swinging chair, you know, like a wooden old school.
Like this is like straight out of a movie, y'all.
Like backwoods, Oklahoma.
And so we're swinging there.
And a mountain lion comes from like
behind the house to come back to this pool. And he's like, don't move. You know, I'm like six,
right? Seven. And, and so I'm like, okay. So I freeze. And so we're sitting on this chair
and we're like, I don't know, probably 12 feet from the door to get into the house.
feet from the door to get into the house but the mountain lion's probably like I don't know like 40
feet from us and I'm like so I'm trying to be calm right I'm sitting there and it takes a drink or
whatever and it's like damn this is nasty and so it leaves and I stand up to go to freak out right
so I stand up and all of a sudden his head pops back out from around the side of the house and my dad's like fucking run and so we run inside right so we get inside
fine but it's a big glass sliding door and this mountain lion comes up i mean you know it wasn't
like running but uh because it didn't really need to it got up to the door and it's like pacing back
and forth and he's like all right let's go to the other side of the house. Like we moved the chair in front of like the door.
He's like, oh my God, it's going to come.
You know, I'm like this little tiny kid.
I just had a, just going to say, so when all else fails,
a pane of glass can protect you.
so this is the motto of the story.
including large cats with a,
with a somewhat reasonably secure,
which I think we all have or have had at some point.
Um, that's crazy though yeah dude I know
we had one when I was a little
like evergreen which is definitely like more
woke up middle of the night
something was on the porch and we like turn
on lights and just a huge fucking cat it was just like on our second story patio to see a pacing
in front of like one of the doors they're scary they're so cool but like you want to see them in
movies not 10 feet away from you yeah or i don't know if anybody's felt it like when you're out in
the woods and like all your hair stands up and you're, like, you stop.
And you're, like, all right.
Like, something is watching me, you know.
And you're, like, look around.
And, you know, you try to get big or whatever, make noise or whatnot.
But, yeah, spidey sensors go off.
Like, yeah, like we were saying, like, you don't know.
They'll be, they'll look at you.
Like, if you see them around, there's a good chance they know exactly where you are if they're not like watching you already and you
have no clue and the only reason I will be in that land is because I literally got a blam blam like
in my hand walking through those woods because like I remember when I moved back to Colorado
like two months after I did uh deep bros you might even remember that do
remember like six years ago a dude got attacked up near a horse tooth from the cat and he like
he strangled it to death he fought with his cat 15 I know people find it hard to believe because
they were like you strangled him out yeah outside of town he was just running on a trail that like
you can see Fort collins which is a
big town just early in the morning this somewhat juvenile cat attacked him and he
fucking fought it and strangled it and he was on the news like hours later just like cut up like
his face was bleeding like he's just yeah dude, like, if, like, my house cat decided to turn on me,
like, the kind of damage it could do.
Like, could you imagine trying to, or strangling, or fighting?
Like, a 150-pound cat, which is a massive cat.
You just gave me a flashback when my brother's cat, like, just went ham on him,
and I just started laughing.
And that's the mini version
i know for real my brother did not want that cat anymore after that day he was all about it
fucking snakes i hate spiders but like i see but can you imagine i get the fighter
it's a fight or flight you know what i'm saying to that guy like you know you don't think about
it but it's like you ever seen those crazy stories where it's like your adrenaline and It's a fight or flight. You know what I'm saying? So that guy, you don't think about it,
but you ever seen those crazy stories
where it's like your adrenaline,
and you get the strength that comes out of nowhere?
Yeah, and he choked it out.
Yeah, and I'm not trying to get in that situation.
I'll go to some scary places,
They've signs of four cats,
and they're really cool places, but
And I'm the only one that just wants to like
fucking adorable, but like you can never...
It's okay that they have murder mittens.
So this gets into the question.
It is at least on the mind of maybe two people here
Do you think catnip works on large cats?
You just throw it and they totally ignore you and start rolling around
This might be the ultimate defense.
This might be the best defense. This might be the best defense.
Or it might call them to you.
You might be attracting them.
Somebody makes a catnip gun instead of pepper spray balls.
It's like bursting catnip.
We don't need a jump to violence, y'all.
Just a little catnip gun.
Never heard anybody. You're just just gonna bring them in more i bet they do like it think about is cocaine bear
with a mountain lion dude my buddy has been trying to get me to watch that movie he's like
it's good but i'm telling you and i I'm like, I don't know, man. Cocaine It is hilarious.
laughing my ass off the whole time.
I gotta just break down and watch it, and then I'll text
him and say, alright, I saw it.
Just keep in mind, it is based off
he said. Alright, alright.
The whole story is a true story.
So there was a bear that found cocaine that came off of an airplane and ate the cocaine
and went on rampage. Not like just some cocaine, like a brick. Multiple, I believe. That bear
had like, I bet you he's the only bear in the existence that's ever experienced that.
He was bear spelled with all capital letters.
fuck them Berenstein bears.
He's like, don't have a rampage.
All right, I'm going to watch it now.
Cocaine sharks, which are definitely real.
I'd rather a cocaine bear than cocaine sharks i think
yeah how about the have you seen the jungle animal or maybe it's like i'm not sure if they're jungle
or maybe they're african animals they eat some type of fruit and they all get really drunk
and so there's like giraffes like freaking tipsy like falling over and like fucking koalas
i'll take a drunk giraffe over any carnivore
You just don't want to get stepped on.
Yeah, like koalas are high 24-7.
They're just blasted 24-7.
They get high on like the eucalyptus?
Yeah, the fucking eucalyptus leaves.
They get fucking stoned on.
They're high on like the eucalyptus? Yeah, the fucking eucalyptus leaves. They get fucking stoned on. They're high all day long.
You know, they say it's DMTs and everything.
They're like, check out this eucalyptus.
They fucking keep going through portals.
And we're just like, look at that fluffy koala.
I feel like you could do that.
You like take enough wheatgrass
like shots, you could probably
you could probably get high.
I mean, who here, you know,
and thought catnip was weed and tried to smoke it?
I can't say I did either.
I did that when I was younger.
Me and my buddy right at his dad's house.
And we're like, yo yo is that weed right there
never even smoked in a day in our lives you know popping a hole through a can you know
trying to watch somebody do it you were so cool that day like you're so cool like a leather jacket
so you made water bong with catnip yeah yeah. I guess I said no, but so technically I have smoked catnip.
So when I was studying herbalism,
I was making like cannabis products and things with other herbs in them.
And so we were making smoking blends and like making pre-rolls and stuff with
And so we were just sitting around like smoking all these different plants to
see what happened, you know, and you're like, Oh yeah,
this one's kind of stimulating or this one's kind of relaxing.
You know, I'm like, so you're getting into like mints and flowers and catnip
was in there, mullein, mugwort, you know, all these different herbs.
I've never experimented with catnip but in the younger days
I put that shit on the list
K2 did you guys ever get that stuff
was that spice that was killing people Dude, what about the K2? Did you guys ever get that stuff? That synthetic weed?
Yeah, it was. It was at the gas station.
I went to a head shop at 14 and bought a pipe.
And they were like, oh, here's some free K2.
Damn, dude, that shit is brutal.
That's just like when they used to sell salvia at the gas station
and that shit took me for a ride 90x powder holy crap i knew you left earth
yes i was like that little wayne song i'm getting my spaceship and leave Earth, motherfucker. I'm gone. That's what I was like.
Yeah, I was Jimmy Neutron.
I do not have anything to act like this.
Pixie's like, no, I had a drink when I turned 21.
Yeah, dude, I just drink my ass off.
Pixie, have you ever smoked weed?
In Georgia, come on. You know she does.
Have you ever smoked weed?
I have never in my life smoked weed.
I did get really, really drunk when I was like 15 off of like Sailor Jerry's vodka.
That'll make you not want to drink.
So I don't drink vodka anymore.
Thank God I've never had a hangover in my life.
I've been so drunk I did not know my own name.
And like I was talking to somebody and like they said later on they were like, you looked at me and said, I don't know who you are, Chris.
I was like, sounds about right.
Like I was like drunk out of my mind, but still never had a hangover.
I've never been given oregano or baking soda for cocaine or anything like that.
So you just like give me a flashback of a movie when you said somebody,
you said you looked at me and all I thought about was that movie, and he's like, let's get it on, whatever it was.
And he's like – he just looked at me, and he said, like, let's get it on.
I'm like, what the – no, but –
But I have been a Traumeter for a lot of years, right?
So when Spice was really big and bath salts and shit like that.
Yeah, like the guy in Miami that ate that dude's face off.
Like, we took care of some wild shit when that stuff started hitting the market.
Like, literally had a patient naked hanging from the ceiling.
get down and he was like I can't
and I was like you're not
get down here you dance spider monkey
what proof do you have that he was not
was not a fucking squirrel
And just wild stuff, man.
it definitely kept me from
This is a reminder for everyone.
Everybody thought that zombies were real for the Miami thing
when that happened. That dude got shot
seven, eight times and he was just
still eating that dude's face.
Wild. I don't know how you can
disrespect yourself so much
to do that. It's a reminder to love
yourself and love your body.
I use bath salt in my bath.
You know what this fucking meant for?
I didn't even know that it was a thing, right?
Well, mixing household chemicals is...
That's all bath salts were, people don't know.
Bath salts aren't a drink.
Just like the kids who were sniffing their own shit that they put in a bottle and sit outside.
Getting high off of their...
What the hell is wrong with these kids?
They just do wickets now.
There's no hope We're fucked
It goes back to me saying those are the ones that are leading the country
Hopefully I'm not around by then
As someone who has a 15 year old in the house
I look at him all the time and I'm like
this is the next generation and we they're not gonna make it they are not i'm just glad we're
before them it's gonna be like that don't look up and then they're just like we could totally
you know mine that rock you know they're gonna like sacrifice the whole planet like a planet
killer oh man i'm just glad i'm not the only one that looks at my child and thinks that way that rock. They're going to sacrifice the whole planet killer. Oh, man.
I'm just glad I'm not the only one that looks at my child and thinks that way.
They are so soft. I'm just like, dude.
I was stealing my mom's car when I was 14 and going for a joyride. You're scared to go to the mailbox by yourself.
Yeah, you're leaving the keyboard on the counter.
We also didn't have cell phones and stuff too though.
My grandmother and my dad would be like, you know, in or out for the day and you had to pick one.
And I wasn't being stuck in the house.
And you had to like drink from a water hose if you picked that one.
You can't change my mind. Before it was like, you know, it was good water before it was filled best water. Special water. You can't change my mind.
Before it was like, you know,
it was good water before it was filled with
It was hot when it was coming out and you let it run for a second.
You feel it go cold and you're like, hell yeah.
Well, yeah. If you're in a hot state,
the hose gets all hot so the water
But yeah, kids these days,
man, they're built different like they are
marshmallow soft they just got a phone attached to them from the second that they can walk
you know it's like uh parents uh like my brother does it and that drives me nuts but he's did it
ever since my nieces were little but he'd be like oh it keeps me contained and quiet i'm like
just take him outside go do something with him i don't know like do something run around but he's
just like here's an iPad.
And they're like, oh, okay, cool.
I was at a game. My wife went to the Rockies game
literally sitting there and
these two parents in front of us,
they had paid for really good seats.
The two children were sitting there. The entire
game and the concert that happened
at the same time in there after it,
they never looked up once.
The office team, man. That's man so i'm saying it's getting weird out there like like you're saying everyone's so soft i'm like i don't know if i even see anybody like are people growing like facial hair still like is that
a thing like are there like manly guys like do people they're trying it becomes it comes in patchy i know well it's like
what is it max maxine or something like where they're all just trying to like look like super
models or something mewing and like doing all this stuff with their jawlines and like
i don't know it's weird ass we're fucked weird again, Darwin is just, yep, yep, yep.
It's just, it's a matter of just accepting it and moving on.
Like, we have fun with our life, you know?
We don't expect to be taken care of.
They're going to blow shit up.
And it's a reality of the situation.
I don't even, well, they're going to blow shit up accidentally.
Because, like, they're too scared to do it.
Like, we were making, were making borderline pipe bombs.
Pixie, what are you talking about?
I don't believe that for a second.
Did we do something wrong?
It's the world TV. It's YouTube.
It's that device you put in their hand.
They do. I'm telling you.
It's like my nieces and stuff.
They sit there. Okay, so my brother's like,
Actually, my friend yesterday, my friend on Sunday
came over and I'm like, dude, why are your kids just sitting there watching that?
And, like, we're cutting on a tree in the backyard, and he's like, oh, there's this – I don't know, this lady on YouTube, and she just does all these – I go to just check it out.
It's freaking weird, right?
But the kids are obsessed with it, and I'm like – but people are like – like, the parents are all okay with it, but I'm like, hey, you got this grown woman who's just acting like this, and your kids are just obsessed with watching it, and it's like a normal thing apparently.
And she's making a shit ton of money off of – I get it.
It's like a niche, and she's doing it, but who just says I'm going to do this for a living and act like this little weirdo so kids will all come and flock around and watch my YouTube channel?
understand why nobody else understands this i'm like uh what and like the unboxing youtubes like
people like kids like unboxing toys like but that's fucking unboxings used to be good like
way back in the day any like og youtuber like people would get cool stuff like right as it came out but yeah if it's pokemon
cards i'm all about it but right like that type of thing you got to like see something but it's
not like that anymore now it's just freaking weird is is this like first world problems like
are people in like you know other countries like are they having the same issues with their youth? Being not as strong or scared?
Is this just an American issue?
Is this an American-Europe issue?
I don't think kids have phones in Nigeria.
Ethiopians probably don't have iPhones.
We have a 14-year-old Nigerian that keeps popping in our chat.
He's a funny guy. he's a nice kid but literally henry jr some nigerian kid who's 14 who's working
like active raider right we've never hired him but when he hops in we're just like hey henry like
how's your day how was school right like we're just like we cut our conversation to talk to
this 14 year old kid who's working in Web3 on
a smartphone. He'll be talking
about projects. I've been in a space where
somebody's came in. I wonder if that was him.
where I might have ran into that
where they're literally asking,
how was school or whatever else?
even impressed. The kid was just like
working. I was like, you know,
I'm sitting here just like... Alright, well I take it back
five phones. I mean, they're over there
starving for water, so there's some tough
I got phones, but they don't have water.
They're all just working.
Like, hey, we got all the chips in the world.
We'll build everything, but damn, we can't get no water.
But we're not going to build a water plant.
Like, one thing that's cool about it, though, and, you know, you've got to be careful, right?
Because, like, we've gotten some videos from people who are like, look, I have a great team of raiders.
And you're like, wow, that's a sweatshop.
But, like, you can actually give somebody with a family money.
you can actually give somebody with a family money.
Whereas like before you'd send it to whoever humanitarian,
whatever. And you're like, cool,
maybe like 2% of that actually gets used for something good.
And this is like, wow, if I give this guy $40,
like that will feed his whole family for a week.
And so it's kind of a cool thing.
So true. And there, yeah,
there's a lot of bad energy with them in this space.
And I encourage people to talk to them.
A lot of people forget that they're just humans.
And we're all here mostly for money.
And they just come about it in a different way.
And then they get branded as Nigerian scammers.
But I've met so many amazing
people who live in nigeria who i used to sponsor one of them i'm sure yeah i am and they work way
harder than most of us do yeah i used to sponsor one of them from from church um you know and like
for like two years and he had to work for the local militia because you know his family and
like the way they were over there they only get to eat certain things from their gardens uh meat
is like a luxury they can enjoy one time out of the year and literally just sending them a hundred
bucks like his mom was able to get well they were able to buy a pig or whatever and have meat and
because the lack of food that he would have to go work for the local militia for poachers and elephants and protect them.
So he'd get a meal of bean and rice every day.
like it's crazy to sit here and think that we complain about quite a bit of
stuff, but we, you know, they got it pretty hard.
100%. Yeah. I mean, we have.
We have a beautiful man that's been helping us on our ex page and he's taken um I mean some you know a lot of mama bears influence too of
of you know how to help with engagement but so we were at like we started our our ex like
I guess like three months ago and you know no followers to start and we were at like
i don't know 350 000 impressions up until like four days ago we're at like 990 000 in the last
four days we've gone up because of some you know like he's dedicated to it he's showing up being
consistent like and it's working and he's a really
great worker he takes advice it's awesome speak of him like a worker either this dude is a friend
like among so many people too like i'll hop into a vc sometimes he's in there and he's just like
how are you and like so genuinely like asking how i'm doing, like crypto aside, like nothing, just like how was your day? Like, how are you doing? And I don't know.
I actually have someone very similar and I met him through Major Trending and he's the one who like does my raids and stuff. He's from Pakistan and like he's been with me since
like day one you know so it's like when people hear him talk they immediately judge him yeah but
like I feel like I've gotten to know his family like I know that like his dad was murdered on their doorstep and like I know a lot and like he asks me how I'm doing and
not very many other people do but he does and like he's married and like he just had a wedding
for like three of his siblings on the same day because their mom is dying so they had a big
wedding all on the same day because that's,
that was his mom's wish. And like, he's like, Hey, you just had surgery. You know, when is your
followup? How are you doing? How are you feeling? Like you're working too hard. You need to rest.
Like nobody else in crypto is asking me that, but my friend from Pakistan is, and you know,
But my friend from Pakistan is.
And, you know, they were just basically on the verge of like nuclear war because two countries are trying to stake claim over the same piece of land.
And that's never a good sign.
But like I was genuinely worried for him because like I knew that it was like potentially going to happen and there
was nothing he could do. Like they couldn't get out of there.
It was just like sit back and watch, you know,
but I definitely think they get a bad name in this space just because of the
way that they talk. And that's not fair.
And the reality of the situation is not just based on how they talk to you.
There are a lot of scammers that come out of Nigeria and some of them, some of them can be you. There are a lot of scammers that come out of Nigeria.
And some of them can be ruthless. There's a lot of scammers that come out of Atlanta, fam.
I think they just take the rap for a lot of it.
I also think maybe there's some gang-related stuff that's making it so that there's more from there.
But I mean, if you think about it, and that's the from there. Yeah. Cause like,
I do think about it and that's the only way that they can make money.
Like they don't have the opportunities that we see the mass amount. You know,
What I hate the cell shaming in the space and certain things like that too.
I was in this space one time and I,
I think it was from Nigeria and he sold like only
a dollar profit. And these people were just like all over him. And I kind of like just went up on
stage and was like, Hey, I was like, that dollar over there is probably 10 to 20 times as much.
So he may have put in his 30 cents that still, you know, in our time and our money, like that
was a big hit for him. and he won big at a dollar
and the fact that he could be happy with a dollar on his or 70 cents on his 30 cents and be at a
dollar that dude is like figured out the peace and secret to life like he's because that's what
people ride it to zero i mean the space is like we just spent it rugs and everything and so forth
like um if you're if you're up, just take it.
Nobody should be sell-shaming anybody.
I mean, it's called a market for a reason, right?
Yeah, I tell people all the time, people are going to trade how they're going to trade.
And that's not our responsibility.
It's their money, not ours.
No, and we don't have the you know control
like i wish sometimes there was a button that was like don't let bad people into my chart
but there's not and so it's just like um it's just yeah you can't you know you can only do what you
can do the jitters they're out there i mean mean, they, everybody, you know what? I always say this too. And so I'm like,
everybody's got a position at wet three, you know, you're like,
this is a world where you can just make up stuff and everything as you go,
even our own lingo. We don't, we don't got to go by and say,
is this trademark yet? No, no, whatever. Just throw it on chain. I mean,
everybody decided chief technical officer met community takeovers all of a
sudden. So it's whatever.
This space is wild that we can make up our own.
No one's saying officer anymore.
It took like six months for CTOs to not be run by an officer.
Yeah, it was like community takeover.
I feel like people just don't get that.
I used to do some CTOs and I'm never a part of them anymore.
And I feel like they're just liquidity pools at this point.
And they just take away so much of your energy and time, too.
Because you've got to figure out if that person, if they really did walk away from it,
if they have any attachment to it.
And you need to be able to read on-chain data very well.
And if you can't, then you're taking a pretty big risk.
And you see a CTO that's over some 100% mean meta.
There are some good CTOs.
And sometimes the good ones are the community that just like each other.
And they're like, fuck, we might as well just push this project if we're going to push anything.
Because we just want to hang out.
But the ones that are like, this fart shit Pitchcoin is going to change the world once Elon tweets it and we're going to
CTO it and then they pump their money in
a friend that's a good guy
that has a fart meta coin
your typical fart meta kind of got you on that that's what i'm saying it's like
if the community is good and the cto is about people who really enjoy being around each other
pushing one project then yeah the meta doesn't matter and that's a good cto because that's just
a community that wants to hang out but like the purposeful ctos of like this project is huge and it's not just like
centered around the people that are in there i don't they're risky not saying they can't go
not saying they can't do well and yeah but you're fighting liquidity constantly brett gold's one of
them um nft kid is a good friend of mine and met him through just doing some
development and everything else.
And I actually met Doodle, Doodle Genics in person at the East Denver
I bought Brett Gold and I still hold it and support it because they're out
They, as a CTO, they took in and they decided, hey,
we're going to make our own coffee for it, a whole bunch of stuff,
Like that's them putting money out as like,
as people in a community to build off of something that they just took over.
So that's effort that shows initiatives. Like,
I think what it comes down to is like really just vibe.
I mean, like for the most part,
everyone that I've met in this space that I actually want to spend a significant amount of time with on spaces or in telegram groups or
whatever, they just have a good vibe and you know, you can fake it for maybe a couple of days, but
not really for a week, not really for a month. So go always go by that gut vibe. And if it feels
off, then go on chain and see if you can support that feeling. Right. And if everything looks good, then cool, you know, continue the relationship. But if not dirty sometimes. You'll have the initial rug, then you'll have the CTO rug,
and then you'll have the CTOception rug, the double rug,
on top of that return of the rug.
Sometimes it's a slow factor too.
I just like warning people about them because there's some great CTOers and they'll get you so
and they'll promise a lot and they're like, no,
I'm putting money in this. I'm committed.
This is a great team, great people.
And the second there's some green pressure,
they're out of there. They disappear.
Huge sells. They're looking for exit
because they got trapped in the first rug.
They're looking for the new sucker
you know what though um always remember those people's voices because they will pop up again
right they'll come out of their hidey hole in about a month depending upon how much they extracted
give them about a month sometimes more if they extracted more they'll come back so remember that and if collectively we remember
these voices these names these people especially these devs uh you know we're gonna make this space
better so it's uh it's a precarious game i feel like adam is walking his dog right now i am walking
my dog i'm so sorry if it's really loud outside because it probably is. No, I can just tell that you're walking the dog.
Oh, okay. I'm out of breath.
Thanks, Pixie. I appreciate it.
You're welcome. I'm here for you.
I was going to say something and it was funny and I forgot.
Okay what you should mention Pixie
And maybe this is what you're going to talk about
Oh it was the voice thing I remember now
I've been in your DMs several times
While you were on live stream
Like Adam I know this voice I don't know where I know like, Adam, I know this voice.
I don't know where I know this voice from,
And every time I've said that,
Adam and I collectively have called out ruggers in 4K.
Yeah, we got a pretty good track record of that.
No, the thing I was going for, not to derail,
but I thought you were going to mention the amazing find that you saw on Facebook, Pixie, of the acreage for sale.
Yeah, you got to mention that.
We think it's the perfect spot for your little duck pond.
And it's like 55 acres. And it was like I opened my Facebook while we were on Taco Tuesday spaces. And like the very first thing that came up was this unique opportunity it's great guys florida and it's like almost 60
acres it's got like a clubhouse and a lake with a sandy beach and like campground and restrooms
and like all this stuff and like an office the only only maybe... Didn't it have like rental
space too? Yeah, it was like
pre-installed with septic tanks
located like near the Gulf Coast.
You're avoiding the number.
This might be a plus. Don't undersell it, Pixie.
Don't undersell it Pixie I'm trying
It's the quack and crack colony
A unique opportunity and crack colony. Oh, Bethany.
It's a unique opportunity.
Does it have to stay nudist?
Do they come with nude people?
Yeah, all the staff refuse to wear clothes.
Because it has an office, right?
So, like, is there a guy sitting there with his little dangleberries in a chair, like, on his computer?
I don't have the answer to those questions.
So, I vote a full refurnish day one.
I don't really want to go there, I'll be honest.
A full refurnish day one.
I'm thinking no is the answer.
I don't want to speak for whack, but.
It's going to be a quarter million just to get new chairs in that place.
people out there are looking for
quack spots, y'all. Like, come on.
thought. He was like, you know what? I think I'm
going to have to pass on this opportunity,
You guys are always in my thoughts.
And I immediately thought of you guys.
out with your crack out. Or your sack out. I guess, man. You can quack out with your crack out.
I think all of it would be out.
All of the above. Thank you.
You're itching to go there?
You're just like, finally.
Freedom and ducks. I just need a place for freedom. Freedom and ducks. You're just like finally. Freedom and ducks.
I just need a place for freedom.
It just sounds like an amazing time.
Those are $100 bills by the way. I didn't know that until recently because I'm old
Blue strip yeah I don't know that term
There's like a new song out that's like blue strips
And bear tits or something
Of course It's better strips and bear tits or something. Of course.
It's better than mountain lion tits.
I have an interesting story about bear spray.
That I will share with you guys one day.
way to disappoint continue i'm sorry
so i don't know if i want to tell this because it's super embarrassing and you guys probably
already think that i'm borderline an idiot but this will confirm it for you um so i was in the mountains in like the Gatlinburg, Tennessee area, and we were staying in a cabin, but we were going to go on a hike.
And we had a guide to go with us because, I don't know, the rental property came with a guide, so we were going with a guide.
And like they gave us this list of things that we needed to put in our backpack and so I did my due diligence and I put everything in my backpack like
I was Dora the fucking explorer and then we get out to the wilderness and we're like halfway through
our hike and like I'm having a great time I've been hitting the sauce a little bit, but not the Taco Bell sauce,
just the alcohol. And then the tour guide, like he stops us and he's like,
all right, we need to, uh, we need to have our bear spray on.
But what I didn't hear was we need to have our bear spray on us.
So I, in my little ADHD self,
I just like take my backpack off.
Did you spray that shit on you?
Like it was fucking sunscreen.
Did you have to go to the hospital?
we didn't listen to the full sentence.
At least it's less harsh.
I could see myself doing that.
Pepper spray is much stronger than bear spray, actually.
You'll have to test it and let us know your findings.
Nope. Go get some official mace. You'll have to test it and let us know your findings. Nope.
Go get some official mace.
You'll have to do it as a surprise.
If we ever meet with a person,
and then I can tell you which one's worse.
Okay, so when you come to hand-deliver my Bitcoin,
will you tell your friends not to beat me up for it?
Yeah. Did I just stutter? You said Darmy's Bitcoin wrong. will you tell your friends not to beat me up for it? Will your Bitcoin?
You said Darmy's Bitcoin wrong.
Crypto guy did hit two jackpots on the spin on whatever that bot is.
I only hit one, so I have more luck.
Yeah, I got two back-to-back on Quack,
and I did get a jackpot over in Ladies.
I think it was yesterday, though.
I think you're just trying to earn brownie points by saying Ladies.
Those are the only two groups that I rolled dice in.
No, he's making brownies.
I try to go in everybody's community
in the only way that I can sometimes, you know?
Because I'd be all over the place.
But yeah, I totally bear sprayed myself.
Because I thought that it was bear repellent.
I mean, I feel like if I had to see my jackass or something, I'd do that.
I mean, it probably works.
I doubt it's ineffective.
Yeah, you're like, shit, what the hell is that?
So if it works on you, then it should work on a bear.
I would definitely rather be tased than pepper spray.
Yeah, I think I might take a tasing over a pepper spray, too.
It has been tased, and it wasn't that bad.
You just get shocked and you go numb
and you're a little bit sore but you don't have to
take a special shower to try to rinse that shit
out of your goddamn eyeballs because you can't
see straight. You think your eye's going to burn out of your head.
And strong pepper spray is like
You gotta be tough son of a bitch to
fight through that shit. i was a wild child before um
while i was in college right so before i had a nursing license to protect i was
absolutely feral and but still never did drugs i don't know how that worked out
but a lot of my friends were in law enforcement and they brought out the tasers
like they weren't equipped with tasers yet but they were bringing them out so they each had to
be like tased in order to I guess be certified to carry it I guess but they were so scared of it and
I was like it can't be that bad guys and they were they were like, well, if you don't think so, then you do it.
Because I was five foot tall and fucking bulletproof.
And it's really not that bad.
No, it like, if you get hit right, it can definitely like lock your body up.
But that's all like, I don't know.
It's just like a bad muscle cramp.
It's like a Charlie horse.
Yeah, it's meant to like immobilize your body, but pepper spray just hurts.
Like, it's just a defense to cause pain.
Your spray doesn't feel good.
And I love hot food, but not that shit.
If you win the Bitcoin, we will tell people in advance, or you tell
people in advance that you're going to pepper spray me
so that my bodyguards don't beat you up.
By bodyguards, I mean like Adam
Adam, this is for science, okay?
I might, but... Pixie versus pepper spray. You'd be filming it, Probably. I might. I might.
Pixie versus pepper spray.
You'd be filming it, but you'd have
a jug of milk in your other hand
ready to hand it to her, to help her out after.
Okay, sorry. But water spreads it out.
And it makes it so your body
Is it just more concentrated?
The mace that a cop carries is definitely a lot
stronger than bear mace bear mace
has she ever been maced with bear mace
but i just know that it's less
it's designed to shoot like 20 feet
okay so i get bear mace you get human mace because you you already have the control It's designed to shoot like 20 feet. If you win the big coin. How about, yeah, I know.
Okay, so I get bear mace, you get human mace,
because you already have the control.
And then you get the big coin.
But since the human mace is worse,
You get bear maced first.
You already know what bear mace is like.
I'll take your word for it.
No, we have to do both for science. That way we have a control.
The things we do for Bitcoin.
It's for science. It's for adam we're scientists we're web3 scientists
we just have to figure out how to monetize that i don't know if you film it whatever put it on
stick live stream it you'll get some adoption i don't know if it'll be the right kind but you'll
get adoption there'll be people watching adopted arrested't know if it'll be the right kind, but you'll get adoption. There'll be people watching.
Adopted, arrested, it's fine.
Yeah, they come with massive options.
Bear Mace is definitely not fun.
It's like a stream, so I was really surprised.
And then I was so surprised that I couldn't stop.
I was like, what is happening?
And I was trying to shake the can to make it spray, like bug spray.
Because bug spray is like a mist, right?
So I just thought that it was clogged up or something.
So I'm just shaking the can.
Because I started at my legs.
It's good you didn't just start on your head.
You're just like, I'll just put some on my neck and face.
No, by the time I got to my torso, I was like, something's wrong.
Because I was getting prepared for a bear.
I give you an A for effort.
You applied the bear spray thoroughly.
And everybody that was with me.
There was like six people with me.
My husband was looking at me.
Absolutely in shock and horror.
He's like. I gotta sit in the car with you
were coughing. It was just
Thank you for sharing that story.
You're welcome. Don't tell anybody.
I won't. Secret safe with this.
I figured you guys would appreciate it
since I jumped in when you were talking
about mountain lion shit.
say anything either. Thanks for sharing.
But the space is recorded.
It's Bear Spray. It doesn't say
mason on there. Bear Spray and Milk Duds.
I guess it didn't say anything about
I know how to repel a bear
on every square inch of my body
I was so committed though
I went down the list and I went shopping
for all of it because I was so excited I myself I went down the list and I went shopping For all of it
I'm going to mail it to you
You can put it up on your shelf
Forget what it feels like
Pepper spraying myself again
It was a good time I was mostly sober Just in case I feel like pepper spraying myself again.
I was mostly sober during that, too.
I just want to point that out.
Oh, that's a great story, Pixie.
I'm curious, Tech, so you've been to our mint parties before.
What do you guys think of the new energy What's the vibes
I'm bringing it on a Sunday
I am sleepy Way better than a Sunday. Sunday's a little sleepy.
But it's almost midnight here.
So you've been going nonstop.
I think it's like coming up on eight hours now.
I love it. I didn't like your space today.
We actually had a good time tonight.
It was fun. I tried to end it like
two hours before we ended it and then burning came in and he was like yo brought a celebrity
in randomly yeah just like randomly like dropped a freaking celebrity that has a whole music
festival like in my lap and i was like oh thanks burning i have one percent battery
so i had to like hurry and plug my phone in.
Because the whole house was asleep, right?
So I'm hiding in the corner of the closet.
Thankfully, I have a plug in here.
Are you in the closet now?
I laid in bed and then I saw that you guys had spaces and I was like, let me be a good sport.
Oh my god, I have Cheetos in here?
Snacks stashed in the closet.
We have a 15-year-old in the house. We can't put everything in the pantry.
drink. Yeah, just eat it.
Kid eats fucking everything.
Little cheese in the Cheeto bag.
I'm gonna take a picture so you guys know
I don't at all doubt that you have a
Cheetos. I can hear the bag.
You just gotta get closet Cheetos.
I don't know what my husband has hidden in here.
A whole damn mini fridge in there.
Just be like a tiny little like chair.
One of those little mini mini fridges.
A little basket with some snacks.
Oh, you get, like, an easy bake?
You could, like, little baking roll.
It could be, like, a mini apartment.
She just never comes out.
She's in her closet all day.
little do not disturb sign
put a little on the air light
yeah with a little take a number thing
your kids come screaming and you're just like
have it started like 8,000
and I have a little display that's like number three.
Now serving number three.
Skip right over their number.
Yeah, just skip right over it.
Could be a closet without Cheetos.
And so our master bedroom is on the second floor, which I think is the stupidest design in the world.
But that's how it worked out. So it's fine.
The unfortunate thing is when I had surgery two weeks ago, I couldn't go up and down the stairs. Right.
So I do have a mini fridge. It's a small one. It's like a little tiny.
Does it fit in the closet and give you nice room still
oh yeah it only holds like six cans it's perfect all right so then it's just like a basket a chair
maybe a little light like a little reading lamp oh i mean you could get like it's got can lights in
here is it the raid vibe, though, for the closet?
I feel like it needs to be like...
I mean, you can get those groove bulbs where you can change the colors.
You need to have a little micro TV on the wall with the Netflix campfire going.
A picture of a bookshelf on the wall.
I think that we're absolutely insane.
Oh, you could, like, a beanbag.
This sounds, this sounds like a great art installation.
Like, like tiny, like, closet renditions.
I feel like that's a thing.
Like, there's the tiny desk concerts, but I don't know.
It's not really that, there's not a whole concerts but i don't know yeah it's not really that there's not
a whole lot of tiny there you go i just posted a picture in quincy of my cheetos i love the idea
of tiny spaces like pixie interviews someone and it's done in a closet with like oh yeah no no no
but but with like a really good setup you know i'm talking
like like yeah i mean you got the mic you got like definitely the on the air sign i think that
that comes in clutch so there's no disturbances in the closet um yeah honestly tiny spaces
yeah pixie that's the next project you can't go to bed
I think I need better snacks though
I'm gonna need more than just
SNCC is sending energy drinks as we speak
they're just always listening
I'm still impressed you had snacks though in the closet just always listening.
I'm still impressed you had snacks,
I thought she was joking. Me too, I'm not going to lie.
I looked up and there was a shining
bag of Cheetos and I was like, this is
Those new, like, flaming hot
the worst tragedy, though.
I am in a closet full of clean clothes.
I just don't know why the Cheetos were in the clean clothes closet in the first place.
It was just a bag of Cheetos just sitting up on the shelf.
He's just like, you're like, where is he?
You go in your room and he's just like shoveling Cheetos in his face.
No, it had to have been my husband that brought him up here.
Because only me and my husband come in our room.
I don't even think that's like a, like a, like a, one of those small ones,
That looks like a proper bag of Cheetos.
It is like a whole ass party size bag of Cheetos.
Yeah, it's like family's dad right there.
Yeah, that's a, that's a, you can get lost in side. Yeah, it's like family's dad right there. Yeah, that's a...
You can get lost in that.
There's Cheetos missing, and he's going to be
on investigative Sherlock Holmes mode.
He's like, who the fuck ate my Cheetos?
And he's going to come at you and just
stare at you, grab your hand,
It has to be like a mini fridge.
You replace it with something similar.
So you have to go out and drop them in.
Leave him a beer in there.
It's just like an unspoken barter.
He brings salty, crutchy stuff.
That's what keeps the marriage alive.
I'm going to start doing that.
Investigating the closet.
This is marriage. This is marriage counseling.
Who is marriage counseling?
And I'm just going to replace whatever I eat with a beer.
I feel like most people's problems could be salt and snacks and beer.
Outlines and marriage counseling.
Where are these beers coming from?
And then he's going to put it together
That's what keeps the gears turning
Going to bring your husband into Web 3
You can tell us if he's not
He's like borderline violent But not towards me Oh, never mind. Leave him. Off of spaces. Off of spaces.
He's borderline violent, but not towards me.
He'd get rubbed and just break the computer.
He was a Marine for a long time, right?
He's got a lot of anger. And, I don't know, he was a Marine for a long time, right? He's got a lot of anger.
And I don't know. He's just a big guy.
Oh, we have Teddy Grahams?
I did buy the Teddy Grahams.
I bought the Teddy Grahams, but.
I thought they got eaten.
Were those in the closet, too?
See, this is his secret stash.
He's not going to be happy that you have infiltrated your secret stash of snacks.
Because he stole your Teddy Grahams, and he hid a bag of them.
And you thought they were all gone.
And he's got the bag stashed away.
I should probably leave the Teddy Grahams alone.
That would be a step too far.
No, eat all but one and leave one, but, like, snap the head off of it.
No, I'm going to go in and, like, eat the head off of every Teddy Grahams in the bag.
Ask for forgiveness, not permission.
I'm just going to start paying attention to what kind of snacks we have in here.
Yeah, you're going to see bags of stuff disappearing.
He's going to have to find a new stash.
I have to play in the school.
Because if not, then i'm not gonna have closet
cheetos that's true you gotta plan ahead keep your supply coming right i only ate a few cheetos
that way maybe he won't notice they're missing
but no to answer your question he's not really interested
like he's more of like an outdoorsy doesn't want to be attached to a phone
kind of person good man yeah it sounds healthier yeah like what's that so much time in front of
the screen there was one time where um like i had my wallet drained because I clicked a link. I didn't know that I shouldn't. I had, like, just gotten into the space. And, like, I was crying and it was just a bad situation. And, like, he was murderous.
was ready to find these people
Did they also chop tallywhackers?
It depends on how quickly they give up the seed phrase.
It depends on how big the tally.
What depends on the tally?
One of my very best friends built a cybersecurity firm from the ground up.
So, like, he's a black badge holder from DEF CON, which apparently, I guess, means he's a good hacker.
I have no idea what that means.
Does he do it for good or for bad?
That's why he's a cyber hacker.
And it's either they're a black hat, red hat, or white hat.
White hat means they're doing their work, red hat, or white hat.
White hat means they're doing their work for good.
They're helping cybersecurity.
They're selling companies their vulnerabilities by hacking them and then giving them a solution.
Or they're red and they do good work, but then on the side they're like,
I'm going to help you fix it, but I'm also going to sell your data on the side.
So back in the day, when we were teenagers, he was not a white hat person.
That's typically how it starts.
I feel like, yeah, that's kind of the...
He had a come to Jesus moment and changed his direction in life.
And that's how he got where he is.
I actually delivered their child
in the back of their truck
on the way to the hospital.
He's literally my best friend.
And I'm on a very personal relationship with his wife well you delivered their baby so i'd imagine so it was an accident
it's not like i wanted i think it's pretty cool
yeah so yeah hackers like we're pretty close but anyway yeah so like we have access to people who can find people and
he was ready to like rally the troops because his wife was crying and i had to like calm him down
but also like figure out the problem you know and fix the problem all at the same time which was
chaos but not as chaotic as bear spraying myself so so dharma i have a question about the white hat
red hat so what about the guys that don't necessarily do it for bad or for good but
just for random shit like my friend would program uh remotes to like open like tesla's um
like little charging ports and he just like think that was funny like it didn't like cause anybody harm it wasn't like bad but it definitely wasn't good so like a perfect red hat yeah i think we
should call those green hats if it's for funny stuff something yeah i actually think they call
that blue hat legitimately oh really they're just i think that's what that is it's like you're not
doing it for for good you're not doing it maliciously.
born in life poking around to technology.
You're not making money on it.
teaching other people how to exploit it.
You're literally just doing it to kill time.
Where did the hat come from?
Can I ask? i'm very curious
good question that i don't know full of them dude um i don't know you know what i mean is
it because it's like dora maybe it's just like linux type deal maybe i think so just because
like it's you know hackers are you know, anonymous for the most part.
Like, you don't really go by your actual
IRL name. You have some type of, like, handle.
It was kind of like a hat that, like,
We'll find out if it's fixed now.
If not... we'll find out if it's fixed now if not
do any of you watch a soft white underbelly
he just has a no what is that
he has like crazy good interviews
underbelly is a channel but
one of the best like interviewers I think I've
just pulls random people off the street,
homeless, drug addicts, whoever.
But he had an interview with the dude
that had hacked DirecTV when it came out.
And this dude's wild, like huge into Bitcoin
and has a fuck ton of them
but a really interesting guy
but was like yeah we hacked DirecTV
and just made a shit ton of money
and then like got huge into crypto
at the very fucking beginning
he was talking about having like
it's been a long time since I've seen it,
but tens of thousands of Bitcoin.
But he's a really cool guy.
really open about what he did in his past life with like being a hacker
those are the best kind of people that like can self-reflect and like teach something yeah or at
least just tell an interesting story spent their life in prison you know just to talk about the
whole thing yeah something bitcoin's so interesting too i remember i mean everyone has
their bitcoin story right but like i just i love hearing them like mine i was i heard about it on
4chan or something i don't know but um and then from there i was like this is cool internet money
that i can mine what so i had a really shitty desktop and I was in college at the time in a dorm room and I would just mine Bitcoin in a shared mining pool while I was in classes.
And then this was my first ever rug before rugs even existed.
Kind of the mining pool rugged.
pool rugged it's all the funds got liquidated out of it by someone yeah yeah it was it was
it was called um havelock investments i still remember that um and uh completely rugged and i
was like well i guess that's it and then i just forgot about bitcoin for like years this is like
2014 um so it wasn't super super early but still enough to where i'm like
that's so crazy so i don't know it's just so interesting mine's pretty similar i remember
seeing bitcoin like really fucking cheap and i love the idea of it but i just like
i don't know i thought it was so fake at first so the entire time i like wanted to believe it
uh yeah and just just lost interest,
stopped looking at it for good chunks of time in between.
I just kept getting shocked by it.
I immediately started using Ethereum.
I just kicked myself, though.
Every time I think about it, I just kicked myself.
But that's everybody. It's always hindsight it's always hindsight. You know, it would be,
well, okay. But, but, but she had the luck of Taco Bell on her side. So it's a little different,
but, um, no, but, but, you know, it's, it's hindsight bias, right? Because it would be the
equivalent of, you can't even relate it to coins anymore because that's in
our psyche now right but it would be like something random like you know i don't know um
here's a hat that can only be made out of a specific material there's a limited amount of
that material and i promise it's going to be something huge you know and it's like no it's
a stupid hat like there's so many others of those. It doesn't make sense. Just because the material's special
and there's limited quantity, who cares?
worth something? But obviously, Bitcoin had all the
technology behind it. That was really impressive.
The white paper and everything.
The cool thing is, there's still opportunities,
which I think is like kind of that second wave of excitement. So there's always,
there's always, I don't even know. I guess it must've been like, yeah,
2012, 2013. And we had a friend in college who was like, Oh,
Bitcoin, like, you know, he was, he was also getting into like alternative healing methods and like, you know, watching like Joe Rogan and like doing some pretty like risky stuff considering like where I was coming from.
And he straight up like lost almost his entire group of friends because he was like trying to get people to get into crypto like brutal you know
and now everyone's like fuck i probably should have listened to him you know and yeah he's fucking
rolling in it he's in his 150 foot yacht somewhere down in the caribbean i hope so i hope he didn't
get like fucking you know scared or whatever. And I really hope so.
I feel like anyone that was like screaming at people to get crypto right at the beginning.
Hopefully most of them have the common sense to trust their instinct.
If they believe that much to go out of their way to try to convince people of new famous internet money,
that's going to be worth so much more money in the future
passionate about it like I started telling everyone
two three thousand dollars
I still don't really tell people about it
it's like it's crazy as soon as i bring up crypto
like we were talking about earlier people are like oh i not either like they think they're
not smart enough or they think they're incapable of learning about it or they think it's a scam
or whatever and they just insta block and so yeah most people just shut off i like anyone that like
is interested i'm like always talking about
crypto always mention it to people but you can tell pretty quick if they're interested or not
it's like all right i'm not gonna sit here and make myself sound insane to you
yes in 10 years you'll wish that you listened you know that's why those people just kind of
like walk away like they make that effort like those people did and get pushed out friend group they're like all right well fuck
you guys like you could put five dollars in this like friendship like okay we'll believe in something
you're passionate about but then they don't show interest people called you crazy and so you walked
away tech you got your hand up man go ahead I was going to say from my experience right now, while we're still early, people that really care more about crypto are usually business people.
And this is just from my experience four years ago when I was an Uber driver, because I was working eight to 10 hours a day, I didn't really have time to do a lot of research after work.
So I would listen to like audio books and podcasts on finance. And from my experience,
people that, for lack of better words, work at places where they're paid minimum wage and they're
stressed out from their job, they're the type of people that will get angry and tell you to turn that type of content off, where somebody that you might be taking to the airport or a hotel
because a business trip happens in this particular town and city estate you live in once a month,
they'll usually ask you what you're listening to, and it becomes a full-blown conversation so there is a type of
person right now as stereotypical as that might be and it's it's all about reading the room so
at this point in time it's easier not to even approach people about it but you kind of feel
the aura of the room and how they're carrying themselves based on how you're carrying yourself
to see if it's even worth having the conversation and i not i think that doesn't happen a lot in
crypto a lot of us are like boom lambo or you'll get rich and all this other stuff and i'm talking
about the bad people because they're usually the loudest unfortunately so when people that are
trying to give the genuine perspective we're already too late on coming into conversation and they don't really want to hear us, if that makes sense. But I'd like to hear y'all's opinion from that perspective of it.
being in a position where you can just see people's reaction on the subject matter.
It's kind of interesting.
Like you got a cool perspective by seeing that.
And yeah, I feel like it might be changing a little bit though,
especially in the past couple of years.
I think this mass adoption that everyone is wanting is slowly starting.
And mentality is definitely, I think, changing for me.
A lot of people around in my life, I guess, are just kind of like, I don't know,
like giving in almost is what it feels like.
They're like, all right, what's this crypto?
And sometimes it's just as far as just like,
just send me some fucking money and I'm going to make you a wallet
and buy you some crypto that I think is going to do well.
And they're like, all right, sure.
They're at least like, I don't know, trying to.
And they're like blue collar workers.
Like one's a close friend who's a Wyoming oil rig boy,
He's got a bunch of crypto now, which is really cool.
A lot of people are, I think, changing.
But if it was like four years ago when you were doing this
and seeing that it was like four years ago when you're doing this and seeing that it was
mostly business people and people who are more focused with the finances in
I think what it really boils down to,
They'd be more interested.
People didn't have money or thought that it was real or fake.
Like I just didn't want to,
didn't want to hear about it.
They would maybe hear what other people making a bunch of money,
fake internet money, you know?
Monopoly. I don't want to hear about crypto.
your life situation, it kind of
necessitates new discovery. Like we've all been
at a point in our life where we're like, okay, I got to try that side hustle. I got to learn crypto.
I got to do this. I got to do that because you want to survive or you want to better your life
situation. Right? So I can see, I can totally see how it would be annoying because you're just
grinding. You're trying to survive. You're trying to do your thing and now you're hearing about yeah this magic internet
money i think it comes down to kind of hearing their perspective kind of one-on-one and
understanding like well why why is it being perceived that way like you know did you get
into crypto at some point and you got scammed do you know someone that was in crypto
because usually it's it's from something like that right it's like in the media it's perceived
as a scam or you have that friend who lost a ton of money on a rug pull or you've seen on youtube
which is obviously media of the celebrity scam coins and you kind of have to understand the you
know the the kind of root of it and then from there you can kind of route, um, to like good resources or even good projects.
Like, you know, when I'm talking to people, like when I'm going to conferences and, you know,
yeah, going in Ubers and inadvertently it comes up, you know, about crypto. I try not to bring
it up too much. It's kind of annoying, but, uh, I think it's annoying. Um, unsolicited at least.
Uh, I, I always kind of try to understand what they know
already, right? Like, Hey, what have you heard about, about crypto? Has it been something you've
seen on the news? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Do you know anyone that's in crypto? Oh yeah,
I have a cousin that got in. Cool. What was his experience? Did he make money? Did he make money did he lose money oh he made a bunch of money cool and then not trying
to get them into stuff that could be insanely volatile like would i ever bring a close friend
of mine who has no understanding of crypto into a holly holly uh what am i saying here highly
volatile uh micro cap heck no it wouldn't be responsible But i'd introduce them to the large caps
Here's how to set up a wallet. Here's how to do this house. Here's how to do that
And then the next project I do find then maybe I will you know, hey bro put in 20 bucks 50 bucks
Whatever, right? So they can kind of get a taste for it and they can kind of ask me questions along the way
Unfortunately, it's very hands-on and I say unfortunate because we only have so much time as people.
But I think if we all kind of band together with that mentality,
then we're going to get a lot of people educated.
There's going to be less rugs.
There's going to be less incentive for devs to do that type of activity.
And space will get a little bit better.
But it's kind of, you know, optimistic thinking, too.
But it's kind of optimistic thinking too.
is by force normies are going to be in the crypto eventually because it looks like that's how the
government wants to reset their debt. Like why pay it when you can flip into a new system and just
avoid it? That's like a good form of leverage for them. So eventually kind of like how the stock
market is, we were talking about how a lot of normies, at least in America, let me be clear, I can't talk for other countries.
A lot of them do not like the stock market either.
But in crypto, we never think of it from that perspective that a lot of them are in the stock market from mutual funds, 401ks, and life insurance policies they have.
So they just lack the knowledge to know that they're in the market.
This has been a heck of a conversation.
Is this every space with you guys
is this like all of them are like this
great no we've been trying to do it
honestly no one's really around on Sundays
out with doing it on different days
and depends like who's around
we're gonna definitely I mean way more conversation than the last and And it depends, like, who's around. Yeah. This is a better one.
I mean, way more conversation than the last.
And I'm just trying to kind of dial it in.
We're thinking also to do every other week, like, a community feature.
So have, you know, somebody where we do some AMA.
And so kind of like a combo of, you know, check in with Quack,
see what's new, like, you know, any new alpha or just what's been going on. And then, you know, we'll do some like mint promos to help,
you know, encourage people to mint our NFTs. And then also just like, you know, I mean,
shooting the shit is honestly the most entertaining. Like whenever I'm in spaces,
it's either someone talking about a really cool project or people just shooting the shit. And so, yeah, redefining what it might look like.
Well, I'm always going to be sharing with my little community and broader as well.
And I'm super excited to dive in more with you guys.
I know we're going to be kind of meeting up and talking a little bit deeper in soon.
And I just love what you guys are building.
I mean, the little small group that I have, it's all people, you know, like this, right?
That believe in something that aren't, you know, saying one thing and then doing something else behind your back.
And those are the type of vibes we should be bringing into projects
because there's a million different ways
you can spend your money,
that can actually make you money,
but also you feel good about
the money you're putting in
with the team that you're supporting.
So I've said this basically
you guys are definitely that.
And anytime I can, I'd love to spend some time with you all because it's entertaining but it's also informative and it's great to kind of share that space with everyone
totally thank you for those flowers i appreciate that um yeah i i'm also excited to connect with
you more and um also to possibly tap you into another community that we're really involved with, the Green Pill Collective.
It's a great group of projects that are just trying to build better things in Web3, too, similar to what you've got going on.
So I'm excited for, you know, to continue that and explore that.
And I don't know how everybody else is feeling but maybe wrap it
exhausted yay it was three hours i need to go to bed i know i need to eat and do work and it was
great talking with all y'all thanks for everyone people that are down there too for hanging out
yeah yeah thank you guys for the invite yeah this was fun y'all well um just you
know stay tuned a couple little things about quack before we tap out we've got crypto stoner
at the bitcoin conference so um that's pretty exciting um news you'll be seeing that uh coming
out um and yeah there's that mint promo we got buy three get one free during the conference
um we have like a game another game contest in the works coming up um in a couple weeks or maybe
next week um some new yeah some new changes so just keep staying tuned in and uh yeah until then
i think quack you later quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack Thank you.
