GM, GM, GM, GM.
Let me get Kyle up here.
GM Kenny Powers.
What is happening?
What's going on?
How you doing this morning?
I'm doing all right, man.
It's more like what's going down, and it's the price of crypto.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
That's why I played that song this morning. yeah yeah it was just a it was a it was a it was a a wild just downhill slide there i
don't know what the fuck happened but i gm i'm here sorry i have my clock set on kenny powers
time uh but i made it i'm here ah good well congratulations uh glad you're here we're glad you're here good good was just uh asking kenny powers the same
fucking thing um yeah it is uh kenny i don't know what happened yeah just bottom but it just
it's wild we get to a certain point and the bottom just falls the fuck out and now you know it's yeah
i don't get it um when are we ever gonna break back above 100k i i mean
fucking hell the screenshots on x are gonna be insanity uh when we when we get above 100k again
it's um it's wild and gold's still running hard like i don't i don't understand why Bitcoin just can't catch up and stay there.
It's a bit manipulated, in my opinion.
But yeah, I mean, we got gold at all-time highs, silver at all-time highs.
I think copper is starting to move.
All precious metals are moving.
And that's typically a hedge against inflation, which technically is what Bitcoin is.
So yeah, I just think it's a bit manipulated, in all honesty.
Yeah.
Isn't the difference between Bitcoin and gold, though,
like just the risk volatility of it?
I mean, I don't know.
I haven't spent a lot of time staring at a gold chart,
but people go to gold as like a safe haven in
uncertain markets. Am I right about that? Absolutely. Yeah. So I don't know, man. I mean,
it's just like, you know, Trump's talking tariffs again and the tariff can gets kicked down the
road again. It's like the tariffs need to just either fucking happen or not. And we need to get
that in the rear view. But instead it's like, we just keep like fucking the tariffs just keep hitting the front bumper and ended up another get that in the rear view but instead it's like we just keep like
fucking the tariffs just keep hitting the front bumper and ended up another quarter mile down
the road every time yeah they just announced that this morning that they're not going to rule on it
yet again um exactly and it's like what the fuck uh because today i thought today or tomorrow was
supposed to be the day and yeah and. And then they never did anything.
So it's like, bro.
Yeah.
So I don't, I don't, I don't get it.
It'll be what it be.
The Clarity Act.
I think what Coinbase kind of, is that the bill they backed away from?
Right.
You remember that?
They just like Brian Armstrong came out and said
that they were not supporting
one of the bills I think I'm pretty sure
that's the one that it was
was the clarity act because of some
of the regulations and shit that they were
trying to put in there
so you know
the government is trying to go to bat for
banks they need
you know Coinbase to be in line with basically returns on your money.
I think obviously staking or keeping your money on Coinbase,
like if you keep USDC over there,
you're getting better rates than you would in a bank.
So they're trying to even that out a little bit, um, because you know, they want it to be fair to where banks don't get
absolutely murdered. Um, because why would you keep your money in a bank if you're earning more
yield on it through Coinbase? So I think there's some issues that need to be resolved on that front.
But, um, yeah, I mean, look, look you know we just got to be patient at this
point we all know where this is headed um you know stock exchange going on chain that's a big step in
the right direction i mean it's inevitable at some point in the future everything's going to be on
chain so you just gotta you know hunker down through the volatility of the market and just, uh, believe in what you're holding. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, that is true. Uh,
but anyways, we are live on X kick in abstract. Uh,
so get over view wherever you want. Repost the room, share the space. Yeah.
I'm live. Kyle's got a few more days and then he will be, uh,
back live with me as well. That's right.
You can stare at my ugly, poorly lit mug live on stream
on the back half of the week.
Oh, my goodness.
But it's not that bad of a looking mug.
But, yeah, so get over there.
Check it out.
Streaming all kinds of just different stuff that we're talking about.
Yeah, I got a flirt with me.
Yeah, well, I mean, I like the back side.
Well, never mind. all right cool let's
get to it a lot of stuff to cover uh kenny yesterday coinbase announced that they are
bringing entire country on chain did you see that i did without helping bermuda i did uh which is i
mean shouldn't they have done this well i mean ftx i guess was kind of a
competitor but um you know this this could have been something back then but but yeah so they said
we'll provide digital asset infrastructure and enterprise tools uh to the uh local government
their local banks insurers businesses and consumers uh pretty wild uh what what coinbase is is doing but what's the ticker
is all i can ask um but yeah pretty big stuff i mean i mean bro is brian arm is he just going to
be the ceo of coinbase forever like can anybody do a better job than what he's doing i mean he's definitely doing all he can to advocate
for crypto so i mean i i think it's a it's a good thing that you know unless there's a problem if he
becomes stagnant there's no growth from the company maybe you look at it in terms of you know
like i just he he's great for the industry is what i'm trying to say yeah um yeah and i yeah i agree 100 i mean he's he's
fucking bad it's like every time you see a post he's in another country uh where he's on capitol
hill he's doing something to try and pump our bags so yeah i'll gladly keep paying my uh coinbase
one membership you know uh but it also saves a lot of money, too.
But, yeah.
You know, I hid my Toshi thing a while back.
And, bro, those things are adding up.
Like, I'm stacking some Toshi over there.
Yeah.
For that drop.
You didn't hit it.
What did you hide?
What do you mean?
You're gold.
No, like, you can hide tokens on OpenSea.
So I just hid it so i don't even see it because
if you had a coinbase one membership you were able to mint this toshi nft
and then you get airdrop toshi every month so and it's not a lot what is it a couple bucks a
month kenny bucks yeah yeah i mean it just depends on the price of toshi at the time but
where it's at, but it's like
the same amount.
I thought you meant Toshi bad.
I was so confused.
No, no, no.
I'm picking up what you're putting down now.
So, yeah.
But yeah.
So, yeah, I just, I hit it a while back and then I checked it.
I was just like looking through stuff the other day and I was like, holy shit.
It's just like, you know, it's not a lot lot of money but it's still just sitting there stacking up so she fucking 10x's bro and you know we continue to accumulate chicken nugget meals
bro yeah uh three bucks i got two wallets so i'm getting about six bucks a month you know
i tried connecting multiple wallets i can never get it to go through but um it is what it is so yeah uh that exciting stuff from coinbase there uh with that um kenny
the pump fund news did you read into this the three million dollar build in public hackathon
yeah yeah it's pretty interesting uh look i mean avalanche announced a hackathon
this morning one million dollar prize pool um well hold on let's go to the let's go oh go ahead
you're just naming a bunch off because i was gonna go to the ava uh avax one too yeah bunked up fun
also uh announced the winner's art or i believe it's called um where they're doing $200,000 or $250,000 a week to the top traders distributed amongst the top 50 traders.
So there's, I think, a $200,000 prize pool weekly for trading USD1 pairs on Bonk.Fund through Radium.
But yeah, I mean, you know i think these guys are
trying to stimulate internships because granted volume has upticked over this month but overall
compared to last year you know last year's peak i think um in january of 2025 there was over 200
billion dollars trading on meme coins in january now granted that was the peak of you
know trump coin and just like meme coins kind of were at like the pinnacle of where they were
going to be but i mean dramatically volume has fallen off considerably but this looks like a
move to try and get real builders to build some stuff on a pump fund. Um, and yeah,
I think it's 300 million divided between 12 teams.
So 200,
three,
three,
three million,
three million.
Or yeah,
three million to 200,
200.
Yeah.
Or 12 teams,
3 million.
So it's 250 a piece.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
So it's,
yeah.
they're going to fund 12 projects with 250K at a 10 mil valuation,
giving mentorship with Pump Fund's founders and much more.
What makes this one different?
They have to be genuine teams.
They have to be out on the timeline.
They have to form a community streaming on Pump Fund.
Like all these different things are going to happen.
Own at least 10 10 of the token supply
um so there is and it doesn't even need to be a crypto related project like the project itself
can be a web2 brand but it just needs to be backed with a meet with a coin right and that's the thing
not necessarily a meme coin i think they're kind of, this seems like a move to shift away from the meme coin mentality.
I don't know, though.
I mean, PumpFun is a meme coin launchpad, but they're trying to legitimize the business a little bit more and create actual products through there.
Yeah.
So, yeah, it's an interesting move.
I know there's going to be a lot of teams out there trying to launch a project that is sustainable.
So it could be good
for the trenches in the long term we'll see yeah i mean even like a thing like frank built where
he's charging people like the five dollars or whatever it is if he would have launched something
like that through pump fund and then showed the building and like you know was doing that even
though it's like he's doing it through claude. Like, it doesn't matter what tools you're using, what you're doing.
You know, as long as you do it and launch it and you do it through PumpFun,
through this, you know, build-a-thon or this hack-a-thon,
I think, you know, if you have a good enough idea and you can rally a community,
I mean, I think that'll be pretty big.
Yeah, it seems like they're trying to change the narrative
of like PumpFun from like just all we do is just do shitters.
Like if you watch the video, the video itself is pretty funny.
So, yeah, it's cool to see them out here doing stuff.
I know everybody's still asking when airdrop.
I don't know when the fuck that's going to actually happen.
I'm asking that about a lot of brands.
A lot of brands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But the tweet is pinned up at the top.
All the website information, application links, terms and conditions,
everything is right there for you.
So make sure you go check that out. Now, the thing with the AVAX one, Kenny, that I like,
let me scroll up here to it. So the AVAX one is they're doing Introducing Build Games,
a $1 million builder competition on Avalanche.
So basically, they're looking for the next big applications and businesses
that will put the world on chain is the way that they are stating it.
Build Games is built for founders, for builders at all stages.
Any idea can win just has to be built on Avalanche.
All-star judges
to be announced soon.
Post-competition support.
A-tier mentoring
and workshops.
There's a
$30,000 prize pool
just for referring
a winning project.
It says winning projects.
If you have a friend that's
building a game or doing something
and you're like bro this
could really cook like fucking
refer them to
Avalanche there
is a you can set up your link
and it's
inside of the thread that they posted
but $30,000
prize pool with a grand prize of $10,000 if you refer the champion.
So that's a good way to get some money, even if you're not a builder.
So anybody doing that, get over there and get set up on AVAX
and get your referral code set up and start shilling it
to all your friends that are doing shit
on Claude.
And we have a few
mutual friends
that are doing stuff, but it's a matter of do they
want to build on AVAX?
That's the other side
of it. Who's going to want to build on AVAX?
Kenny, do you know?
I like AVAX. I know Do you know? Yeah, you know, it's... I like AVAX.
I know there's a lot of hate
towards it, and then there's a lot of diehard
community members. I know if Vo was on this stage,
you'd be changing that fucking tune.
No, no. I'm not saying that.
I said I like it.
You'd be like, oh, Vo,
AVAX is so great. The transaction
speed is fantastic.
I don't know probably maybe the transactions
are fast and everything is established as part of the problem that it is so established like it's
not i don't know like i just sometimes i feel like in crypto something new if they can do
interesting shit they can capture the momentum of being new paired with interesting shit.
It's just like,
you just have more than one thing going for you.
It's kind of like whatever AVAX does at this point.
Yeah.
It's already like they've been out forever.
They're still a long ways from all time highs.
Like,
I don't know.
Well,
everything's a long ways from all time highs.
So what I say,
well,
unless it's something new,
right?
If it's something new, then it's not that hard to end up in price discovery and everybody's hyper focused on your
shiny new thing is the point that i'm making yeah go ahead there's a lot of unique setting
point of avex if they got anything different from any other chain not really i mean i mean
avex was originally designed to have super fast fucking transactions
and it was the whole narrative around it was like it was going to be the gaming chain right
right it was like it was all about web3 gaming was like the strong narrative over there now
i mean you can't fucking you can't take a step without tripping over a high tps l2 at this point right so it's just like i don't know
now that all that said they are you know i'm i'm just kind of given the other side of it i i think
avax is interesting um and we'll see what happens over there and this certainly is going to draw a
lot of attention so you know i mean i should say it doesn't go back to all-time highs i don't know
i mean arena is apparently it apparently still going very strongly.
They're still having spaces of 1,000 people over there and stuff.
But people who are using Arena swear by it,
and they're still getting tipped.
I was using Arena for a little bit.
Yeah, I was using it.
They do, like G-Mer said, doesn't AVAX have a lot of IRL stuff? Yeah, I was using it. They do, like Gmar said,
doesn't AVAX have a lot of IRL stuff?
Yeah, they do.
They do a shit ton of IRL things.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, look, it's just,
when it comes down to it,
it's a cluttered space, L1s.
Obviously, you've got the OG1s,
Solana, AVAX, and we recently got Monad.
We've got MegaEath coming.
It's just a cluttered space, and there's almost too many options for not enough stuff going on.
I think when it's all said and done, there's going to be two or three L1s that reign supreme.
Obviously, Ethereum and Solana are the top two, in my opinion.
The third one, we'll see.
But yeah, it's just a very cluttered space now.
And go back five, six years, there were only a handful of L1s.
And now it seems like we're getting five new ones every year.
Yeah.
Well, Farouk said it best this morning.
It's like, if you're launching a chain
if your chain is already out like what does your chain fucking do and what can people do on it like
what like that's the biggest thing is like but you know a lot of chains can't even answer that
question like before you have a token because they were talking about uh mega eth coming and it's
like okay well that's great you have fast transaction speed but like
what are we going to be able to do monad the only thing happening on monad right now
is a goddamn uh beer pong game yeah like that's all anybody knows that's happening on monad so
it's like what else what else can be done so my theory here is we got two plays we either convince
Cairo to come out of hiding I don't know where
he went uh but convince
Cairo to come out of hiding bring back lizard
and create a game okay
or two uh
cock versus hunter 2.0 did we revive
cock versus hunter that's yeah
CTO cock versus hunter
uh 2.0,
make it a fucking cook,
and we go win some of this million dollars.
That is where I'm leaning towards.
Or, Coin Kong's coming on stage.
Why not launch an AVAX cooking show with Coin Kong?
You know?
I say we do that.
Coin Kong, what do you think million dollars up for grabs on avax cooking cooking with coin yeah i love it cooking with coin on avax
i say we do that um gm coin kong what's happening are you there you keep kind of bugging out yo no no it was it was
fucking just took a while to connect what's going on man you're yeah your connection's
worse than my fucking intro music um yeah nothing what's happening what are you doing
okay good talk uh just got no goddamn bro i knew
i did you can't hear me i got you
not too much just got the kids to school uh got some shit going on i'm going to go buy all the
food and shit chris uh chris saw me and a few of the boys are coming over to the house tomorrow
to shoot my next like round of content and and
cooking videos and shit so yeah good day busy day just getting some stuff done and then uh preparing
to close down all my restaurants okay uh you're close what do you mean closing them all down
yeah really yeah i uh yeah listen i i'm very i said this in in bandit's face like i'm very good at my input
to output right like it's taking too much input to get what i want out of the restaurants so
you know i made the decision like a little over a month ago to close them all down uh i'll probably
be fully closed the second week of february to get all 17 done and all the shit
out of them um i just listen bro like i'm i told myself you know like i'm not gonna do shit that
doesn't make me happy anymore and you know it doesn't make me happy fucking having to spend
so much time doing doing what i'm doing right now so are you going to become like a private chef? Like maybe once in a while do events
or stuff like that?
Well, I mean, quite honestly,
my meal prep company,
I wouldn't need to work again anyways
if I didn't want to.
The meal prep company is very profitable.
Yeah, I'm not doing that,
but I also don't run that.
It got to a point where I'm like,
this isn't fun anymore,
but I had people to run it for me, so I hired them into the position to doing that, but I also don't run that. It got to a point where I'm like, this isn't fun anymore, but I had people
to run it for me, so I hired them
into the position to do that, and I
basically just make passive income
on that and recipes, and that's how it is.
Nice. Okay. Well,
shit. I didn't know you were doing all that. This guy's
about to come fucking full-time
on fucking
crypto coin king
fucking content creator. I'm back. that's what i'm going for i wanted
to say something to you dude i was in that last space listening and i gotta tell you brother kook
sounded like a petty arrogant fucking bitch that entire time yeah i heard exactly what just for
context coin kong mentioned being up on a fucking coin in this fucking other space that bandit was running yeah and uh literally didn't even try to shill the coin he was asked by the host what the coin was
he literally said this coin you should not buy people might think this is a mr beast coin i
don't think it is but people are probably going to speculate on it was basically the gist of what
coin kong said and then kook comes off mute and spent 30 minutes being a petty arrogant little fucking dweeb as if coin kong had tried to hard
chill everybody on a rug it was the most obnoxious thing i've ever heard in my life uh kudos to you
coin kong now and bro listen the only reason i got worked up is because i work very hard on my
reputation like i i want people that talk to me know that they can fucking trust me,
and I'm not going to tell people.
What'd you do?
Come on, glued on, cook?
Yeah, I called him a fucking faggot, and I told him he can go fuck himself.
Nice!
Like, I'm not that dude, bro.
Like, listen, no matter what these fucking crypto KOL bros that are fucking really well-known, like, do,
like, it's not affecting my day to day.
And you're not going to fucking sit here and try to tell me like I got pretty worked up.
Like, because listen, because he was being an arrogant fucking bitch, dude.
Look, here's the thing.
It's not.
He could have easily questioned what you said.
He obviously misheard what you said.
Right.
And he could easily have been like, hey, dude, I don't think this is a fucking Mr. Beast coin.
And then when you said i that's
not what i was saying that could have easily been a conversation god damn it the space is still alive
i wanted to go back and replay it and listen it did not need to go the way that it went at all but
he was like he was like oh i'm gonna dunk on this guy relentlessly he gaslit me and it worked yeah
dude i you know i used to think going car,
I used to think Duke was like amusing.
I never trusted him,
but I always thought he was like amusing.
Now I will forever have a bad taste in my mouth
about that guy.
And I unfollowed him.
I'm never going to fucking pay any attention to him again
because of that.
And this is the risk that you take
by trying to dunk on people
that you don't even know in the space. Like if i know you and i think you are a scammer because i have
watched how you've moved for a prolonged amount of time i may give a very negative you do anything
i don't know you at all i'm not gonna fucking go out of my way and risk my reputation to try
to present something on a fucking and that's the thing like i if it felt good after that because
everybody on stage was like nah that's not what he was saying like coin kong's a good dude like
that's not that's not the thing you know i mean so like i know i'm doing it right but he fucking
gaslit me and it fucking were you up there like saying like like i'm like oh go ahead no no he
was just talking i was in the request just just so you know, for like five minutes.
But then I got busy at work.
I was going to come up here and fucking light him up, too, dude.
That pissed me off as a listener.
But I'm just curious.
What was the reasoning for him coming off mute?
Were you up there bragging about how much money you made?
No, no, no.
Listen, I said I went to go trench last night.
I fucking made three trades.
Two I broke even on.
The other one I left overnight, which is what this like supposed Mr. Beast coin was.
I pulled out my initials.
I'm letting the moon bag ride.
That was exactly what I said.
And then Bandit was like, hey, tell me about the coin.
What's about this coin?
I was like, well, I saw some back channel like fucking legal paperwork and stuff. I was like, I don't think it's the coin. What's about this coin? I was like, well, I saw some back channel, like fucking legal paperwork and stuff. I was like, I don't think it's the coin.
I was like, I am telling you, don't buy this. Like, but that's, that's just where we are.
And like, before I even got done with that sentence, he came in, he said, it's not Mr.
Beast coin. He's definitely not running on pump fun. Literally. I was going to say, well,
Really, I was going to say, well, it's a Meteora coin, not a fucking pump-funk coin, but I didn't get that far.
it's a meteor coin, not a fucking pump fun coin, but I didn't get that far.
And by the way, CoinKong wasn't even talking about his trades initially.
He was talking about the restaurant stuff.
The host asked him about his trades and then asked about the coin.
You guys know me.
I very rarely shill anything.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Well, what's the ticker anyways?
Yeah, and I would normally...
I'm going to ask.
I'm going to ask.
I bought in sub 10 mil.
It's sitting around 62 or 67.
Well, good for fucking you and fucking...
Yeah, thanks.
And again, I would not normally
rotate us into a five minute
conversation about something that's completely unrelated to anything we were talking about but
like literally i was furious in the list like the arrogance was just dripping off of this
fucking guy it was un-fucking-believable and it pissed me off and i was hoping you would come in
here going gone because i wanted to just fucking stare that opinion with you.
Yeah, and nobody wants to argue with the guy because of who he is, right?
Like, everyone's on stage.
Like, we both know you both.
I'm like, no, fuck that.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, well, you got to stand up for yourself
and your reputation that you're building, so.
To a point, most of these motherfuckers,
I just ignore if somebody says anything about me so
the thing about cookeville is like he's built his whole platform on trolling people like that's why
that's kind of how he became so popular is because he's constantly trolling people so
i wouldn't i don't let it bother you bro i mean the guy so he he for some reason he found the
one thing that would fucking gaslight me.
And it's my reputation because I find I like am literally out here every day just trying to be the best fucking person I can be with trying to help everybody I can that's around me.
And that's like literally the only thing that would fucking get me to the point where I just where I had gotten with him.
You know what I mean?
Because, you know, I work on myself more than anything.
He's definitely a button pusher, bro.
That's what he does.
That's what his platform was built on.
It's just like trolling people and talking shit
and getting people to like fucking react.
I troll people too,
but I don't troll people with this like
fucking just dripping sense of superiority.
It was dude, I don't know, man.
Arrogance is one of the fucking most obnoxious things
on the planet to me.
I don't find it funny at all
when people are just like overly arrogant.
And yeah, dude, I mean, like I said,
I would have never taken a trade from Kook,
but like I definitely found him amusing.
I was like, I would say I was a fan of like his account
and now I don't follow him anymore you
know so just you know i don't know be careful being an arrogant bitch is i guess the moral of
the story yeah uh well that was uh unexpected so uh we appreciate that um that information that uh
kook is a is a cuck. Yeah, pretty good.
G-Mur said he needs a good... Maybe keep working on that bar.
I don't think you're ready to drop the hottest fucking
right off of 2026 right now, buddy.
G-Mur said I need a good meal prep company in Denver.
So, Coin Kong, get to work on that one.
So, all right.
Let's get to the other shit uh kenny so whales getting slashed
on ethos seems like a lot of people are like going like going for the slash i mean dude
can you can you blame anybody fucking the Trove token is down 97%.
They raised $11.5 million, kept $9.5 million for themselves.
So, I mean, people got absolutely fucked.
And you know what?
There needs to be some accountability when you're a big account with hundreds of thousands of followers, right?
People look at you as a person of influence
in the crypto space. You're out here shilling undisclosed, you know, as a paid promo about a
company that is literally scamming people. So there has to be some accountability. I've seen
people say that Trove approached them and they rejected the opportunity because they thought they were shady.
You know, so like, yeah, I do think people need to be held accountable for certain things they put on the timeline.
I mean, imagine if 1% of the people that follow him invested in this ICO and are down horrendously right now.
There needs to be some accountability.
Now, I know he tried to clarify it,
but did you see his statement?
Like, it was weird.
Yeah, I'm sharing it right now.
So he said, for clarity,
I wasn't paid to promote the ICO,
but that distinction doesn't change my responsibility
to disclose I failed to do so.
That's 100% on me, no excuses,
and I apologize.
Then, in parentheses, so...
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Am I fucking smoking crack?
What is...
What?
What is there to disclose if he wasn't paid?
All right, hold on.
What the fuck was that?
Hold on.
Let me...
Hold the fuck on.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
And I apologize.
So this is a deserved slash,
and I'm sorry for everyone who loses reputation points because of it after they're putting their reputation behind me.
Then he replied to his reply.
Now, this is on ethos, and I'm sharing this.
Wording might be confusing.
To be 100% clear, I was paid paid but not for promoting the ico which is the dumbest
thing because the only thing he promoted was the ico and this was done through reach when they you
know they put out all the videos about their fucking their creators and whale was their their first guy and so
obviously i look at when i because i i'm like i i'm in this not at the level that he's at
if i see someone is a a partner with reach everything that i see him tweet about, I take as a promotion because the guy is literally paid to tweet pretty much about everything unless it's an opinion piece.
So most of these guys, even Cook, like all these guys are paid by somebody to fucking tweet in a lot of times their opinion on a matter of things.
So like I'll coup credit for the fact
that he does disclose that he's being paid right yeah like i will give him credit for that but
so if what is he claiming that he was paid for if not the icf he doesn't he doesn't say he was just
paid to promote trove and not the icl but his tweet was about the ICO. I was paid to promote Trove right at the same time as their ICO,
but not to promote the ICO.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, oh, mistakes were made with the wallet
that I no longer control.
It's kind of like what it is.
So, yeah.
So, like, people, like, for him to come back and say
wording might be confusing.
No, it's not confusing.
You said, for clarity clarity i wasn't paid
to promote the ico it's like bro just fucking go in there and apologize and it is what it is
people lost money i mean i i've talked about things that people lost money on i feel like
fucking shit for it i've lost money right along along with them. Maybe not at the level that they have.
I saw this one dude who put $20,000
in and was able to
claim $600.
There was a guy who put $345,000
in the trove.
When he got his airdrop, it was worth
$20,000.
If he's still holding it, I don't know what the fuck
it is.
I say this all the time and I don't even have the fuck it is. That's exactly why, and I say this all the time,
and I don't even have the emotion to really need to say this,
but if I'm talking about something, maybe look at it,
but don't just click the buy button because of the fucking account
on the internet named an idiot said to, dude.
Like, maybe look at it.
Maybe gauge other people's sentiment on it.
Maybe do some research.
Definitely shouldn't just buy because I'm buying or saying anything about it.
Well, the problem was at the very last minute,
they swapped it to go to Solana.
And I think they were originally launching on base.
Hyper Liquid.
It was Hyper Liquid.
Yeah, so they used Hyper Liquid to do the raise, I think.
It was so wild because they used the top narratives for everything.
For me, it looked like they stole abstract fucking logo.
But then there was another brand that the logo was even more close to.
Then on top of that, they tie in the RWA side of Pokemon.
So then they're jumping on that narrative.
Then they go through hyper liquid which is
another narrative so it's like they used all these key trigger words for months and months and months
and then they oversold you know and now walked away with millions of dollars one million percent
this might be too much 40 chess but do you think that they intentionally pretended like they were
going to launch on all these different platforms to gain an audience from each platform?
Well, they were using all these key things.
Like, oh, shit.
This was the whole thing.
Yeah, they were using key buzzwords.
The idea of being able to long or short RWAs, like they're using hot words.
Just everything about it seemed
a little
scammy, in my opinion.
They were trying to capitalize on the
perpetual hype, perpetrating
the RWA
hype of 2025. They were just
using all these keywords. They were using
Polymarket, too, in some way.
The biggest thing is I'm their, who they're following.
They're not even following any of their team members anymore. And a couple of them deleted their Twitter accounts, which is pretty fucking wild.
It's always a good sign.
I can remember one of my favorite projects of all time.
And both the founders happened to delete their Twitter accounts and found
positions on maybe another team.
Anyway.
Hmm.
Well, this isn't about you.
No, it's not.
Okay.
Moving forward swiftly.
Moving forward swiftly.
Yeah.
You always got to bring up bad, bad, bad things.
Johnny, if you go off subject, I'm kicking you off stage.
I'll bring you right back up to Johnny.
GM, I'm not going off subject and going to talk about stark net or export but what i wanted to say here um is that
yeah it's shit and for sure everyone knows that it's paid or whatever. But still, if you don't disclose it, yeah, you have to take the fire.
I mean, people are waiting when you are one of the biggest KOLs of this and you make a mistake,
then people are firing at you. I'm not doing that because, yeah, who knows what can happen.
Because, yeah, who knows what can happen.
But yeah, he needs to take it like a man.
And in two days, nobody will remember.
And that's for sure not the first or last shill he made with that.
Probably he will look more in the future into that, that he doesn't do it.
But it was for sure not the first or last chill
that was taken like this.
No, no, it's going to keep, I mean,
he works for fucking a marketing agency.
I mean, if you're...
Yeah, he was for reach.
They have like, if you look at their accounts,
if they're on their champions,
they post like this UFC fight ID.
Everyone from them is posting it do you think
it's i'm seeing people that don't work for reach promoting it as well there's a lot of people
probably a lot of other agencies also a lot of people it was on zeet's uh it was on zeet's
platform as well so i mean yesterday's campaign or last week's campaign.
Okay, well, I'm just saying it was everywhere
beyond that.
And that seems like a
valid
project because they're literally
on the UFC website.
Like, that's a UFC
backed fucking brand.
I'm not saying that
that's not a legit project. I'm just
saying if you see a chain
of influencers posting the same
thing, it's probably paid.
That's what I wanted to say.
We'll end up seeing the same
shit for Creeps once the activation starts.
So it's not going to be
any different. We've seen it
with Portal. We've seen it with a whole bunch of...
We've seen it with everything.
With SOMO. all of them promoting it so yeah it's all gonna continue
on but but yeah i mean it sucks on the other side i have something to say it's really funny for me
this uh ethos core it's really because if you look it, everyone now has no nuts to slash it.
I mean, everyone who did make the review to get the review from him or so, they want to
defend him just because they would get all slashed.
And yeah, I understand this.
I'm not slashing anyone on Ethos.
I don't care about this.
I think the slashing.
Hold on.
That wasn't the only slashing from Ethos. Did you see their tweet yesterday on Loeschmi?
I guess his name is.
Oh, they're slashing him.
Loeschmi.
You slashed him.
He copied the article.
Yeah, I know what he did.
You need to be careful there, DeJoy.
He's plagiarized posts and blamed AI for 243 cutability score.
So, yeah, apparently he copy texted some article.
Where were you at?
Was he not here the day all this happened?
I feel like we talked about this for multiple days, but yeah, I don't know.
That was, yeah, that was like last week.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm just looking at the ethos.
It's also Saturday.
Ethos post from yesterday.
They put out a tweet yesterday.
I'll pin it to the top.
But yeah, I mean, look, a lot of people are starting to clap back on ethos and just like slash people.
are starting to clap back on ethos and just like slash people so ethos has ethos whether you
fucking like ethos or not ethos has impact when it comes to your social credit score when it comes
to what how people view you whether you like ethos or not and uh but again i just gotta say
this is one of my problems with ethos is that like all you have to do is not be a scammer long enough to get your score up and then scam.
But it doesn't matter.
But as soon as you try and scam, you'll get slashed.
And you better make that one time a good opportunity.
Well, yeah.
Go ahead, Johnny.
It's your show, buddy.
Go ahead.
It's not my show. I will just
shut up. I wanted to say
that Ethos isn't that
holy that it is.
I can't believe that Wally
guy threw away his
brand for this shit.
It's not even fucking worth it.
Juice, I don't think he did.
Like Dijani said, in a few
days, people are going to forget about this.
Now, it depends on if the Slash is successful.
And I don't know where, like, they don't show that really publicly.
I agree.
Yeah, like, I think, like, this type of shit happens all the time.
But for Wally specifically, specifically like he's trying to be
like somebody you could really trust right he wants to be looked at as like that trustworthy
individual and you know he's got all the calls and shit and whatever right um but like people
just slowly slip into that and then they just become like every other influencer like cook
right like if you look
at trading acts for example like he's got so much respect and that's because of the fact that
every time he posts something it's it's because he's not getting paid and it's really what he
thinks and most of the time like he has some pretty decent calls so like i don't know i just
think you lose that you lose that level of respect and you just become
like everybody else yeah like once you get your account to a certain size then the deals just
keep coming anyway like this whale guy is not gonna starve for deals because he got slashed
once on ethos yeah he's made his he's made it already right like especially with the death of
info fi like these fucking agencies are going to...
Look, if you've got a fucking
Nizuki PFP and 100k followers,
guess what, buddy? You've got fucking deal flow.
You know?
Yeah.
Anybody that follows you
that thinks that you're a genuine dude,
now they know that you just took
an undisclosed
paid promo. Right.
That's done.
this one.
I'm going to go ahead and be,
I'm going to do the devil's advocate thing here and say,
I don't care if people disclose their promos or not.
Yeah.
Every time I,
every time I tweet about Toshi,
I don't say my partner.
I may have said my partner,
maybe five times out of maybe fucking 50
tweets, but I'm not going to sit there
and put it in every goddamn time.
Well, yeah, but that's not even so much
what I'm getting at. What I'm getting at is
I'm like,
all jokes aside, I'm literally a fucking idiot.
You know what I mean?
I'm not some fucking blockchain analyst,
fucking brilliant genius
motherfucker, right? But I'm smart enough to know not, fucking brilliant, genius, motherfucker, right?
But I'm smart enough to know not to trust people, right?
You can't just take one person's word as an indicator to click a button.
Like, if I click a button because I saw one person post something,
I am accountable for clicking that button, right?
So, like, I don't know, dude.
Yeah, but a lot of people are gullible.
Make your favorite actress, like, does she have to
disclose that she was paid to
fucking, you know, show you
Pantene Pro-V fucking shampoo and
conditioner? Like, is it
her fault if I use that shit
and my hair falls out? Or is it my fault
because I didn't do any research
before I bought a product?
Yeah, well, here's some of the
here's some of the takes
in the comments. This one is
no surprise. Golden
said slash whale.
That's no fucking surprise
from him.
I know. And you know what? I like Golden
because I like people that
call things on the carpet, but also
I'm old enough to remember
Golden fucking shilling pups fucking runes down my fucking throat on every fucking space. Right.
So like, you know, you could say, Oh, this guy was wrong too. Right. This guy costs me money too.
I'm just not like, again, if I buy something, I'm accountable for my buy. I'm not going to go
back retroactively and blame someone else. Cause clicked a button yeah the so what i'm
looking at like if this slash goes through into johnny you're probably one of the people that
went in here and fucking blue whale on fucking uh ethos no no no no i didn't okay but i'm just
saying all these people that went in and voted and even vouched for him, you will end up getting slashed on your score as well.
You will end up losing credibility yourself.
I also don't like that about Ethos.
The space makes heroes out of these guys.
And then you go and stick your thumb in the air,
feel which way the wind's going,
you turn your mask that direction,
and then all of a sudden you get nuked
by a fucking thunderbolt from God. It's just, I don't know, man. your mask that direction, and then all of a sudden you get nuked by a fucking thunderbolt from God.
You know, it's just, I don't know, man.
Yeah, that's...
I guess PDD was very popular.
I guess
all of these MFs
who are in the prison
are pretty popular.
So yeah, at one point
maybe something happens.
But no, I don't say, I don compare Whale to that because I really respect him, whatever he does.
And I don't think that Slash will go through because too many people don't want to lose their Ethos score. Yeah, I think she will do different in the future. And she is having the best deal flow in all of crypto.
I think you should never underestimate how badly people want to watch somebody else eat shit.
Yeah, that's what they're doing right now.
Everyone is riding on him.
And that's what I don't like i mean it's it's like
well if you if you want to be the north star that's what's gonna happen yeah that's true
yeah like i mean if you want to be looked at as the guy who's you know calls
everything the way it is knows what what scam scams and what's not and you know lead everybody
the fucking water then you know be that guy don't be the guy who takes unpaid promos from somebody
who wants to make a billion dollar fucking perp exchange and they're not even dogs yeah i'm
scrolling through all the people that are gonna lose points in there there's a lot of people bro you're talking 17 000 xp gonna be fucking slashed when you're in a position of influence
like he is there has to be responsibility knowing you know the amount of people that follow you on
that's the only reason he's getting paid right exactly So you have to take some accountability if you
are promoting something that
is literally, they raised $11.5
million. The market cap of the
coin is $455,000,
bro. Yeah, but
like Kyle said, you're ignorant as
fuck if you don't
realize that everybody that
is on here, if you have a big account,
chances are you're being
paid. Uh, you're being paid to fucking promote whatever you're talking about. Yeah, absolutely.
And I'm not saying don't listen to big accounts. I'm saying use them as the indicator that they
are. If a big account is tweeting about something, know that there's going to be a lot of eyes on it,
right? That's a good indicator, but you, that's not the only indicator. You also need to
do more research if you're going to make a significant investment. Or if you just want
to throw money at every single thing that you think might have motion, you need to make sure
it's a small bullet that you're 100% comfortable getting nuked on.
What I've wondered...
People that follow their favorite Azuki PFP and then put their entire net worth behind one tweet
and then bitch and cry and moan
because it didn't go the way they wanted it to go.
I'm sorry, but that's natural selection, my friends.
Yeah, I'm wondering...
I have one last take, a funny one, a funny one.
Do you remember all when there was some project
which had 20 projects which they had founded?
And nobody was disclosing that they were paid to talk about it.
And yeah, it's just when you get caught, you get caught.
Yeah, I'm curious what happens to the people that burned half their XP and chose whale as a validator to stake their XP and rather than going with a different
validator or a, or just choosing the NFT.
And I wonder what happens there.
So on ethos on ethos.
Yeah.
I didn't know how the whole validator thing works.
I know I've said this before.
I'll say it again.
I like Serpent.
I think what he's trying to do with ethos is a good idea.
And I do think on a long enough timeline, it'll turn into something a lot more useful than I think it it again. I like Serpent. I think what he's trying to do with Ethos is a good idea. And I do think on a long enough timeline,
it'll turn into something a lot more useful than I think it currently is.
I just personally, in its current format, it's just,
I'm voicing a lot of negative opinion, it probably sounds like, on Ethos.
I think it's a good concept and they're off to a good start.
I just don't think it's a useful indicator right now in its current form.
That's all. I like it it here's also real quick the thing about like icos in general i remember zeneca put out a
post um last year yeah about his airdrops yeah about the 68 angel investments uh like of the 68
there were three massive winners um and the rest of them were modest to straight-up write-offs, like zero.
So, I mean, there is a risk you take when you – especially if you're not familiar with the founders and they're open-faced.
You know who they are.
So there is a risk you take.
Obviously, we've made some ICO or pre-sale investments that we still haven't seen a return on.
And other ones that we have that have gone horribly wrong.
So it is a risky take.
So it is a risky game you're playing when you do invest in ICOs.
Yeah.
If anybody does want a ethos invite, I do have two.
So just drop your wallet address in the comments, the first two that do it.
If anybody does at all, then I will whitelist those wallets and get you in on Ethos.
It is probably a good thing to participate.
I'm probably going to at some point regret not participating more on Ethos.
Yeah, I would say you will.
Yeah, I think I probably will.
It's just I have too many other buttons to click right now.
So, you know.
Yeah.
So, yeah, if you need an invite, drop your wallet in the comments,
and I'll get it taken care of.
All right, another thing that has popped up today,
you can go check and see if you were eligible for the ETH gas airdrop.
And a lot of people that,
you know,
thought they were going to be eligible.
People are fucking pissed because they're not eligible because they didn't want to look
yeah go look I mean the tweets
pinned up there at the top the website
yeah the website is
ethgasfoundation.org
you can go there like I said
the post is pinned at the top
and then
you go there
connect your main wallet
and then after that you will be good to go.
So, yeah, it'll let you know if you're eligible or not.
People are pissed because apparently...
Somebody said there's a...
I keep seeing these posts saying there's a 30-day lockup,
which I have not seen that in any of the tokenomics.
I haven't seen it anywhere.
But like this one tweet that I'm seeing right here from this guy,
which he's probably not eligible, which is what I'm guessing.
He said another scam.
First, they announced the airdrop would be locked for 30 days,
already a disaster.
Then they rolled out an absurd eligibility criteria
making for a huge portion of the community
is not eligible.
All you had to do was post your fucking gas
ID and submit it. That was it.
And what is he calling the community?
Like anyone who ever paid a gas
fee on the area?
Did they give every single wallet
an airdrop? You have to be selected.
Well, every wallet would have been able to get an airdrop had they fucking just tweeted their gas ID.
Yeah, but they also, there was stipulations that you had to have at least 500 beans to claim.
Yeah.
And that was to get rid of the simple farmers and, you know, like these extra wallets that, you know, maybe have one or two transactions in them.
You know, they wanted to keep it for like real users.
But two, you know, there were steps you needed to do.
You need to share your gas ID.
If you didn't do that step, you're probably not qualified for the air.
This guy right here in the comments, burn 0.4 ETH, not eligible.
Send it to zero.
And the guy replied, bullshit.
Like, bullshit.
Like, bro.
But I've also seen tweets from people that had like 50, 60 referrals. They were ranked 80 on the leaderboard.
They had over 5,000 beans.
Burned like they went through like fucking 60 ETH and gas.
And they weren't eligible.
But I guarantee you it's because they didn't
share the id but this one guy this one guy quote tweeted his own tweet from last october
i just don't think he ever registered the tweet is that that's what i was gonna say cheese like
another thing is like you can notice if you go look at the like leaderboard there are people
at the top of this leaderboard that like literally signed up three or four days ago with like 350 referrals like that seems a little iffy to me you know so i'm
sure they're going to have preventative measures to make sure that you know like bonded accounts
or certain things you know or people who didn't follow instructions don't register for an allocation but yeah you should be able to see and the majority of
people who were on this were in since October because like it'll show you the date you joined
like for me for example I joined October 16th of last year so yeah I think maybe some people who tried to do it last minute may not have gotten
the allocation.
Um, but yeah, we'll, we'll see how it plays out.
Yeah.
Alex, uh, check your DMS.
I sent that to your DMS.
Um, didn't want nobody.
Okay.
It's a scam.
I'm not eligible.
Um, you're not eligible.
Yeah.
See, you fucking, you waited to the last minute.
That's right, dude. They dug up my the last minute. That's right, dude.
They dug up my grandmother.
They stole her family jewels, dude.
What a bunch of scammers and thieves.
No, dude, I don't care.
I forgot, you know what happened is I forgot to share the gas thing, the social thing.
I forgot to do it.
So I'm ineligible.
And guess what, dude?
As much as I'm responsible for the buttons I click, I'm also responsible for the buttons I don't click.
Yeah, so are you gonna go,
now you're gonna go slash ETHGAS because you fucking-
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
I'm going to, yeah, I'm gonna need one of those
Ethos referral codes actually, Cheezus,
so I can go slash ETHGAS.
Yeah, well, unfortunately.
Dude, it's all good.
I hope you guys eat on this.
I probably wouldn't have gotten that big of an airdrop anyway.
I spent like-
You never know.
And while that sounds like a lot,
I think most people probably would have been here since like before 2021,
probably spent a lot more than me.
Oh, my God.
Pranksy put a tweet out, said not eligible for the airdrop.
This is hilarious.
627 ETH that he spent.
This guy was number two. Hold on.
Let me go to the leaderboard.
He's number five on the leaderboard.
Did he not click the same button?
I did not click. He might not have.
568 referrals.
6440 beans.
Holy shit.
I got...
But no, I mean,
he shows that he shared it.
The problem was people might have shared it,
but they didn't go back and submit it for the extra beans and to verify.
Because that's how they verify it.
Yeah, you have to verify.
You have to put the URL in to verify that you did the tweet.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
It's not listed as required. what you know ease gas report your
ranking look better than mine yeah that would be my guess is that he didn't go verify the thing but
yeah you know it's pretty easy to follow instructions you just read what it says and
then you do what it asks you to do and you're good to go yeah not really yeah and that is why
i blame jesus for my folly because you guys all know that I don't read anything and I need everything spoon-fed to me.
Or I'm not going to do it.
I told you, motherfucker, to go put your tweet out and verify.
That's still pretty funny.
I would imagine they will end up getting pranksy scored away.
For sure.
Let's see here.
Aloe, not eligible. Yeah. eligible yeah motherfuckers learn to follow
the rules is probably i don't know is it going to be a cook who the fuck knows but if it is
like if they like 86 half the fucking accounts bro for not following instructions yeah who knows i mean did you see their list of partners they put out no i mean i also didn't do
that oh did johnny you're not eligible johnny jenny well bro i have 4 000 beans
oh that sucks to be you yeah the general partners include coinbase, Galaxy, Gattaca, tons of fucking partners.
Like, so this, I mean, it doesn't, unless they're lying about all these partners,
this is, it could be something, who the fuck knows.
So we'll see what happens tomorrow with this.
Wait, does it go live tomorrow?
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
It goes live tomorrow.
Oh, yeah, see, and they tagged all these partners,
so none of these partners didn't say,
oh, sorry, we're not your fucking partner.
Shout out Ryan Carson.
Yeah, exactly.
So January 21st,
yeah, same time, 1300 UTC.
like I said,
I seen somebody said there's a
30-day lockup and I have not
seen anything
about a 30-day lockup.
So I don't know where
people are getting that from.
You should probably flash that guy on Ethos.
That's what I'm saying.
But like I'm looking at their tokenomics.
It doesn't say anything about a 30-day lockup.
Now it says community on here, 10% multi-season rewards
for early adopters and active participants.
This shows a four-year linear unlock.
But there doesn't, it's nothing in here about airdrop um and all of these are like one year
cliffs and shit yeah i think those are probably for seed round investors um i don't know about
the community airdrop what the terms are for that but yeah i'm not the community vesting schedule
above refers to long-term emissions of
the total supply allocation the community airdrop is separate and not subject to the four-year
linear vesting that's all it says i don't see anything in here about a 30-day thing so not
really sure what's going on over there but make sure you get checked out uh on the east gas and
now let's get to Kyle's holy shit announcement.
Oh, it's just amazing to me how fucking like quick the Algo moves.
Now I bookmarked that tweet just so I could look it up on my laptop and see if I was eligible.
And then I just went back to my timeline and like six posts in a row are just people saying that they're ineligible for the air job.
So funny.
Yeah, there's so many tweets out there
talking about the ex-algo
once they released it last night.
And that's one of the things
is like things that you click on and spend time on,
you're going to see more of that content
on your For You page.
And that's great.
That's awesome.
It's just if I bookmark one tweet,
I don't need my entire algorithm to become that content.
That's all right yeah but uh elon
did say that like the the the algorithm is fucking absolute ass i will say this though
in all honesty like my algo has gotten a lot better over the past week like i'm seeing 90
crypto related stuff um on the timeline. Yeah.
And I don't know.
It seems like it's gotten a little bit better.
Well, that's because they got rid of the InfoFi stuff, right?
Is that what it is? I don't know.
That's what I'm asking.
That's what the fuck everybody else is saying.
I mean, the InfoFi stuff was certainly generating a lot of noise.
I hate to say it because I was, like, super giga bullish on the whole Z thing. I still am. Ultimately, I guess just we're back to a much more speculative
bullishness because I don't exactly know what their plan is now. I know they have a plan.
I just don't know what it is. But, you know, I resisted info five for years.
And then I finally dipped my little toe in the pond and a shark bit my fucking foot off, dude.
Like immediately. How does that happen? happen well yesterday zeet announced that the creator platform is still live like they are
still actively looking for uh they are still going through all the applications for the people to be
certified creators the website is back up i'm sharing it right now the only thing that is live
is the application uh uh, the refer friends
and help. Uh, from there, you can see everything that you done. If you are a certified creator or
not, uh, that should show up on your, uh, on your Z page and who's it shows fellow creators on the
other side. Guess who number one is? Whale.mocha.
It's like they might want to change that
just to kind of get some heat off of them a little bit.
Then their number two guy is ICO Beast,
also an advisor and a guy who's been shitting on InfoFi constantly.
So, yeah, I don't know if I'd have him there either.
Do you think they're going to mass approve a bunch of players now
that maybe they didn't intend to initially?
No, I think they're still going to go through and they're going to handpick.
I don't mean, okay, mass was probably the wrong word.
I just mean, do you think that they're going to expedite the number of people
that are going to be eligible simply because I think over the next
I think over the next two or three weeks yeah we'll see the list maybe double or or maybe even
triple I mean I would expect even more than that because I it was a pretty small number initially
right yeah I'm going to this group here fuck well I can't see the. What did you want to say about me,
Colonce? No, I'm asking
were you approved yet?
Oh, no, no. Okay, don't
fucking come at me thinking I'm about to talk
shit about you, bro. I'm just
going to ask you were you fucking on there?
The good news is my
application is under review. I have not
yet been rejected. That's the
one thing. You don't want to be rejected.
So, Dajani, lay low.
Don't be copying nobody.
All right?
And make sure you are locked in.
Did you saw in the algorithm that if you copy tweets, like word for word, that you get punished?
I did not see that.
But what I did see was
pretty funny was
that they
are exploring
the idea
of like basically
giving creator
royalties for a post if you
can ratio someone.
That's pretty genius. i hope ratioing people never dies that is one of my favorite things to see on the timeline also wait johnny
you said if you copy and paste exactly dude what about like quote tweet threads you know what i
what I mean? Like, that's always been fun. Should we not be doing that now?
mean like that's always been fun should we not be doing that now i think quote tweets help like
No, I think quote tweets help me.
No, no, no, no, no. I mean, like, if I, you know, like, if you tweet something that's
like a, you know, a clever phrase, and then I copy it, quote tweet you, and paste the
same thing. You know what I mean?
Alex Swim posted that that's punishing in the algorithm. He wrote the whole article
about it.
That seems
dumb.
Quote tweets is one of the biggest
boosters. Quote tweets, likes,
replies, comments, and length of
time people stay on your post. Jesus, do you understand
what I'm saying? Yes. Like, if I
say, if I say
creeps are the best, and you
quote tweet me and copy the exact same thing yeah i
don't think that's a negative if people are quote tweeting you that's a good thing yeah but the
algorithm won't know the difference between yeah the algorithm won't know the difference between
you know who's just copying someone else's content and who's participating in some fun quote tweet.
Yeah, I mean, a quote shows up as a reply anyways.
And that's what they were talking about.
That you only get rewarded for monetization if a reply shows up on your timeline or on your homepage, which is a quote post.
So yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know.
I haven't looked into it enough.
I'll let people figure it the fuck out and then I'll go from there and go,
you know, figure it out.
From what I understood, it's like, uh, they, they have to reply,
but they have there, if they reply,
it has to be from their for you page so they've got to see
you come up on their for you page and reply and be genuine it can't be just gm or let's fucking go
kind of thing it's got to be actual conversation about your tweet yeah to actually drive engagement
but obviously getting onto someone's for you page you've got to have like within the
first 10 minutes your post has to have 10 likes and a few comments yeah exactly it's got to gain
fast virality and then from there it stays in and the more it keeps going then it just keeps
getting thrown higher up the algorithm like up the the uh impression food chain um which kind of seems
counterproductive because you know those first 10 minutes who's going to see your tweets unless the
people who've got notifications on for you are all clicking and straight away and and usually that's
just drives more uh spammy kind of fake content i mean mean, I saw the stats from, what was it, Quantum Crypto
that said that crypto Twitter,
the bots on it are up 1,200% in January 26.
And they're expecting, obviously, it's a Super Bowl coming up
and the amount of bots on Twitter increases by 75%.
Yeah, but now that you can't get paid on replies, I think that's going to decrease, right?
Let's hope.
We'll see.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Kenny, wasn't there a coin that was just launched again for this ryan air
the the whole elon mustang
yeah yeah i'm sorry i was on mute yeah it launched uh yes was it on meteor
no it's on uh i think it's on pump fun oh i. Yeah, so it's a 22K market cap right now.
No, no, no.
I see another one at 57.
The one that launched yesterday is at 3.5 mil.
Why am I not seeing this motherfucker?
Okay, well.
I was in at 1.36.
Sold at 1.26 yesterday for a slight loss.
And then it just ripped to 4 mil.
Why am I not seeing this goddamn thing.
Okay.
Well,
either way,
the Ryanair CEO or the brand 30 minutes ago,
tweeted Elon has not replied.
They tagged him in the post and it said Ryanair CEO to address a slash
undress,
Elon Musk,
Twitter tantrum at Dublin press conference,
Ryanair CEO, Michael O'Leary has at Dublin press conference, Ryanair CEO,
Michael O'Leary has called a press conference at 10 tomorrow,
Wednesday,
the 21st in Dublin to address,
or undress Elon Musk latest Twitch shit Musk.
And this is in,
in quotes,
Musk knows even less about airline ownership rules than he does about aircraft aerodynamics, said Michael O'Leary.
Perhaps Musk needs a break.
Ryanair is launching a great idiot seat sale, especially for Elon and any other idiots on X.
100,000 seats for $16. 99 cent one way 16.99 euro uh buy now before musk
gets one so that was like an official tweet from them 35 minutes ago so if if elon replies back or
does whatever i mean it could bring some attention to that coin and i don't know what it's currently doing because i it it was as of this morning when i woke up it was under a mil
and since that tweet has come out it's gone from one mil up to hit four mil but now it's
back down to three mil so yeah okay well i mean but i mean it's still it still could pump a little bit more depending on
what elon what elon says if elon goes like fuck you i'm going live at the same time well the whole
reason the the coin initially ran up was because elon put that post out yeah yeah yeah poll um and
it shot it up to like two mil and then overnight it just like died off
and since this tweet
from Ryanair it's run back up
well there you go
I mean let's see what happens
here but this like I said it could
end up being something
and no
that is not advice for you to go by
that is not reality check telling you
to go by it's not Kenny telling you to go by it's not advice for you to go buy. That is not reality check telling you to go buy.
It's not Kenny telling you to go buy.
It's not Kyle telling you to go buy.
Do I smell a little undisclosed in the air?
No, but I will say, is anybody on this stage telling you to buy?
It's Juice.
So make sure you, you know, get at him.
That's right.
For those.
That's so funny.
Yeah, get at him for those issues.
One other thing that I wanted to share from our old friend, Chris Heifa.
He put a tweet out yesterday, and you can go look at it.
It's a really long tweet.
Well, he actually put it out yesterday at 11 o'clock in the morning.
It's pinned up at the top.
Heifa Labs is officially open.
officially open.
Build for the other side and beyond with ease.
Hypha Labs gives
NFT founders and artists the tools
to create MML
ready 3D avatars for their
collections.
You can use them
on the other side, wherever the fuck you want to do.
He gives a full
breakdown on what everything is,
what you get.
There's a monthly cost for this but
if you own uh flingers and a fling pass you can get up to like 50 off so it's 20 a month for 200
a year um and it's pretty pretty dope bro coming. Blender add-on for direct asset export.
A wearables marketplace.
Advanced animation support.
More chain integrations on request.
All kinds of stuff.
Dude, Hype is the man.
Flingers as well as Fling Passes.
I'm not 100% sure, but might be the only NFTs I still own on Abe Chain
that had bids to be taken anyway.
Yeah, so while this is designed for OtherSide
and all the brands that want to get into OtherSide,
trying to think, he's like, other chains available.
Is this not something he could submit to? Is this not something he could submit to?
Is this not something he could submit to the over to AVAX for that million dollars?
Like even though it is the primary course is other side.
Is there not somebody building some virtual?
The AVAX thing was about games or am I wrong?
It is. building some virtual the avax thing was about games or am i wrong well it is but this is being
able to create 3d figures from your nfts to then bring in the games or do whatever the fuck you
want with them maybe use maybe use it for videos or artwork or whatever i mean he says custom work
available so either way pretty dope stuff that he's building over there make sure you go
get that checked out uh start your 30 d a 30 day free trial uh or you can book custom avatar work
so uh shout out to him on that pretty good stuff um yeah so make sure you you go scope that out
that was definitely one of the other things that I wanted to talk about.
Bro, I didn't know this the other day.
So JT put out this tweet.
It's talking about one-on-ones and genuine undead.
And I'm scrolling through.
I see some.
I recognize one.
One is Hans.
He owns one.
But there's one that's a hoodie.
I think the hoodie one is fucking dope.
It's got like a purple hoodie with green eyes.
And I was talking to Hans.
I'm like, man, that thing's fucking dope as shit.
Turns out the same exact day that this was put out,
it was a fucking crazy echo, Kenny.
The same day that this was put out,
the owner of that 101 gave it back to the community.
Would you ever give away a 101 back just like to the community to hold i mean that's some that's that's amazing i personally probably don't yeah um if i'm being
real but i think that's fucking yeah i don't know that really yeah i don't know that many people would do that.
Yeah, I'm right.
I think that's cool.
I can't remember how many 101s the community
wallet holds,
but it's...
I'm not even going to try and butcher his name.
Yohara?
I guess? He said, fully committed, just transferred
101 love
to GU community wallet.
We just getting started.
And bro,
this is,
you know,
Hans claims he's got to clean his one-on-one in GU,
but I don't know.
I really liked this one.
This one's pretty,
pretty good.
but yeah,
wild as fuck that the guy just sent.
I mean,
this is with Adam Weitzman running around buying fucking one-on-one NFTs, like, I mean,
he probably could have sold that for a pretty good penny.
You know, so, yeah, shout out to him.
That's pretty fucking dope to do that.
So, Dijani, what's up?
Imagine that we would have in Crips some big whales who find dedicated community members
and push them with one NFT.
I mean, maybe the team should.
And they would stay active on the timeline and it could be seen as a scholarship.
What do you mean?
Yeah, there are some Creeps members who are really valuable and they have some loans and everything.
And if they wouldn't have a loan and everything on their NFT, who knows?
Maybe their wills could help them.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, we could onboard some people with that maybe
maybe um yeah i don't know i i don't know i'm waiting to see what the community
you know what what what creeps in them do next i think it was pretty dope that adam came in and
bought um and oh fucking wheels bought some
Ryanair thanks
yeah I thought it was dope that
Adam bought the
the 101 the OG
creep I don't know what it
was bought for nobody knows it was
a OTC deal
I think it's dope that
you know he was able to get introduced
he did tag seed phrase aboard a gazette NFT now I think they's dope that he was able to get introduced. He did tag Seed Phrase, Board 8 Gazette, NFT Now.
I think they're following his path of buying one-on-ones.
I don't know how much more impact it has long-term
because he's already buying one-on-ones from so many other brands.
I still think it's very impactful.
But at what point
does his buying power take away from the fact that it's just a billionaire running around
buying nfts or is it is it bullish like i mean what are you what are your guys thoughts on it
one i think it's a really like seven motherfuckers up here and johnny's only one that can unmute
kyle probably busy at work juice may have fell back asleep alex could be on one of his 18 other
alt accounts kitty kitty kitty ain't doing a goddamn thing damn bro you're not what are you
just sitting there right on your recliner looking at charts um i'm just looking at exactly i already fucking i got a camera in your fucking
house sitting there watching you scratch your balls right now yeah i just i don't know what it
like down the line up two months from now when this guy owns a one-on-one from every nft brand
like that's that's dope and i think it's really cool i want to see him buy one-on-one from every NFT brand, like that's, that's dope. And I think it's really cool.
I want to see him buy one-on-ones from some other,
a few other communities,
but like beyond that,
him owning the NFT,
how,
like,
how can he be connected,
but then also help spread the word of other brands is my thing.
Sorry.
I'm having a really hard time getting people to leave me the fuck alone at
work today.
But yeah,
the GU at Weitzman thing, I commented on somebody's,
somebody had tagged Adam Weitzman about like, hey, this guy might,
it was like basically like, you know, hey man, check out GU, Mr. Adam Weitzman.
And I commented, I forget exactly what I said, but it was like,
I think he'll end up with a few bro has really good taste.
Talking 30 seconds
later, Adam Weitzman
said a comment and followed me.
Nice. So, yeah, dude, I think
Adam Weitzman's definitely coming for some GUs
in the near term.
But my point is not that. My point is
like, at what
point does his
buy-in power
like, does it fade away
from him investing in communities
look this isn't hate on Gary V
but I would take him as a
positive indicator because he's not
trying to sell me anything
more than I would take Gary V as a positive
indicator because I know Gary V is trying to sell
me something at some point
yeah I think the indicator is we know
this guy is an nft collector he obviously
loves the industry right and he's adding to his collection of projects he believes in so i think
you know if he's buying into a particular collection that's a vote of confidence
yeah that he believes that the community is number one strong and that the team is
building you know so like yeah i think it's a it's definitely
a positive indicator um he's one of the only guys out there still buying grails you know like who
else is out there doing that so much respect to him i i got nothing but respect for him yeah did
you see the uh little interview we posted of him oh yeah with the guy who always walks around asking
people how they became rich
yeah i didn't realize that that guy basically became rich by building out his own business
for like junking cars and you know scrap steel and stuff yeah but part of that and he didn't
disclose that because like i read a biography on him and i could have sworn his dad his dad
in them already owned the recycling company.
And then he brought it into like where it is now,
obviously like he built it out.
So I think the business was already established,
but he brought this motherfucker multi,
like I think it's now multi-state.
I think it's New York,
New Jersey,
Pennsylvania,
like all the way up the Northeast now is what he's at.
But he did go to prison too.
I guess I would just say
there is a,
based on the nature of that business,
there's a disproportionate chance
that he might've actually gotten
a little bit of dirt
under his fingernails
at some point in his entire life
versus most of the motherfuckers
in this space
that just fucking smashed
Cheeto dust into
their keyboards for a living so anyway uh just that made me feel a little bit more respect
towards the guy you know yeah but he's probably about probably not now but he had calluses on his
hands at one point uh which means he was putting the work in so i do agree with that um
it'd be cool to get him on here. Talk to him.
You know, get his perspective.
Well, you know, now that he's following me, maybe I'll reach out to him
for you there, Jesus.
Well, you know what? Fucking pull your weight, motherfucker.
It's about time.
Pull your weight.
Please.
Please don't dump some undisclosed all over your fucking face.
Nice. Pranksy's on a tear.
This motherfucker.
568 referrals.
And nothing there.
So, yeah.
What?
I got like 11,000 XP this week.
Cooking.
I got 20.
I cleared a little bit.
25,000 and some change.
Nice.
Pretty good. Yeah.
The increase in my bearish bag has definitely helped me out a lot over the last couple of weeks. Nice. Pretty good. Yeah, the increase in my Bearish bag has definitely
helped me out a lot over the last couple of weeks.
Yeah. And Bearish has been,
you know, doing volume. They've been
up and down. Maybe
in relation to the
Z thing, I think, you know, and maybe
I don't know, this is pure speculation, but
maybe some people kind
of panic sold some of them when the
whole InfoFi thing first, like, ate shit, right?
Yeah, I think that happened.
And then, like, now people are, like,
taking advantage of the dip some.
I wonder if my good friend Kenny Powers,
the LARP I'm going to buy an NFT guy, bought one.
I don't know.
Don't know.
I'm going to guess by the nature of the mute button
still being on that he did not.
Probably not.
Dajani, did you ever check to see
if you were a certified creator on Zeke?
Yes, I did just before,
and I'm still not a certified creator on Zeke.
Okay, you didn't get denied there, right?
No, I didn't get denied.
Okay, let's go.
We're going to make it, Dajani.
Dude, I believe in us.
There you go. I mean, we are one of the voices
who are all the time on this space.
More creator you can't be.
I mean, maybe we are not really creators,
but we are at least humans.
All I do is talk on spaces.
You at least fucking put out
75 bajillion tweets a day.
So like, if one of us should be
a zeke creator it should definitely be you uh if i make it and you don't i'll burn them down
from the inside to johnny on your behalf i promise no you won't you're right i won't
say it again alex is he still going every time i go there it says on the maintenance
no no no so you can go to the website now. The only thing that is live
now, the website's live,
but it shows your creator
status, your application,
or you can go to refer friends
or just the help section
is where you're at.
Everything else is coming back soon.
Yeah. When you go to
the refer friends, you can still see your
total Z count,
which is good.
It was down for a couple of days, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, but it looks like,
based off some tweets that Pond shared and a few others,
that this is possibly
the way they're going to open this back up
with tournaments, is that all the certified creators are going to open this back up with tournaments
is that all the certified creators are going to be the ones
that are eligible to participate in the tournaments.
And then you're going to have to basically get certified to participate.
So in my mind, it's kind of turning it into a marketing agency.
Are they going to have any campaigns or anything now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The campaigns will be,
but the campaigns are going to be driven based off your certification.
And then I think the people that are certified are going to also be the ones
that get the creator cards.
And then the creator cards i would imagine
if i was doing this i would have the certified creators i would have the mints for the cards
the mints for the cards the creators each get a pack of cards of their own
then they give those to people that are supporting them if If you hold that, then you can still earn Zeet's by holding and collecting your creator's
cards.
But it also helps boost you to maybe become a certified creator or like the
mechanics in a way could end up working both ways.
So it's,
it's,
it'll be interesting to see what they decide to do.
So I'm not really sure.
Not approved.
So what are you going to do?
Well, just, you know, I say stay at it.
That's what I say.
But it was interesting.
We spoke to one of the other sites about doing a campaign on the Thursday,
and then Elon tweeted about the end of of info fiverr the next day
and i was just like oh great yeah well a lot of the other ones are getting shit i know i've seen
wall chain uh or cookies everybody has their shit staked and uh now you can't unstake it and they
said they're not going to allow people to unstake anything on cookie uh wall chain is not giving people any rewards they're not discussing anything about open
campaigns um none of the stuff so like yeah it's it's going to be really interesting to see what
what how things balance out here with a lot of these info five brands um you can't unstake on
cookie well that's unfortunate.
Yeah, like Whale was bitching a week
ago that he staked his Cookie, and then three days
later, InfoFi goes down,
Cookie's price goes down
drastically, and he can't
unstake his token for a year.
A year, bro.
Yeah, because you stake it for a year
to get the most amount of up the
leaderboards, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's only like $500 or something.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I wasn't part of that.
We'll see.
But anyways.
All right.
It's 1230.
Time to go.
Time to wrap it up.
Real quick.
It just occurred to me.
Today's the 20th.
I think in seven days, Ticker Burr goes live.
Oh, okay.
Not sure.
I vaguely remember it being the 27th.
I know it's in January.
Ticker Burr for Bayerish.
The Bayerish 404, Dijani.
You know, they've got, I mean,
their contract is a 404 contract,
just the token side.
Well, he owns the
nfts so you would think you would know but i think he just didn't hear what token i said but that's
all right what token interesting yeah i didn't hear rich stoke yeah yeah bearish um yeah well i
mean whether you think the nfts are a good buy or not i don't know 0.08 ephers
uh congratulations anyone that caught the ryan dip at 0.027 2.7 mil wheels i hope you did
uh back up to 3.3 mil uh you're welcome but anyways all right alex did you have something
else well i just found out that why I wasn't approved.
They told me I have inflated and spoofed metrics for some reason and coordinated engagement.
Interesting. And billboard type posting.
I'm going to have to review my account because that's absolutely yes.
So you got rejected and it actually says why.
Yeah. Which is not interesting.
Whoa. Look at this guy
inflated or spoofed metrics what the fuck so now that you've gotten that far is there any kind of like a like a peel this type button no no no but wait this isn't permanent there are signals you
can change over time you're encouraged to do more be better should have seemed harder to do better
do better should have put this in the comments yeah i've seen a post about that before i've seen
a post with that that same exact message um well that sucks bro well you know what why
yx isn't fucking pregnant.
Yeah, well, do better. That's all I can tell you.
Did you guys stop retweeting your tweets from your
19 different platform accounts, brother?
I don't do that.
Yeah.
I only do it from one.
Maybe only eight, not all the
15. Yeah.
Dajani's going to get his, and it's
going to say reject, and it's going to say plagiarism across the top. Yeah. Yeah. Dajani's going to get his and it's going to say reject and it's going to say
plagiarism across the top.
Yeah.
Do better, Dajani.
Fucking learn.
It's unproven.
Yeah.
Learn.
