Kyle, you didn't like that one?
That was...
Well, it definitely inspired me to cry in my closet and cut myself, if that was what
you were going for.
I'm feeling pretty fucking emo right now.
It definitely was.
I think I'm going to paint my fingernails black, and I'm going to call my mom and dad and tell
them I fucking hate them right now.
I'm pulling out my black trench coat as we speak.
I know.
Somebody sent me over a request.
What was it?
Black Keys, and then that one, and then...
Yeah, it was me, motherfucker.
I'm trying to request a great song, and instead you went with YG's emo-ass request.
That's okay.
Pretty good.
It is right up to YG's house.
Yeah.
Number one, number two.
Jesus doesn't like playing normal, good music.
He likes to go mid-curve, left-curve, and that's what he is as a person, so get used to it.
Well, hey, I'd just go with how I'm feeling.
This is what Kenny's request was this morning, and it was just kind of, I don't know, just
wasn't feeling sweet emotions right now.
That's a good song, though.
It is a good song.
Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.
Welcome back.
Sorry about yesterday.
Yesterday, had some IRL shit pop up, had to help my sister with some things, and yeah,
we were just, yesterday was a chaotic fuckfest, so Kenny, I'll let you have like 30 seconds
of, you know, Aerosmith here.
Not all of us are 60 years old, so either way.
Yeah, excited for today.
BR1 Infinite will be in around 12 o'clock.
There are some whitelist opportunities that are coming up.
If you are a Creeps holder, you will have the opportunity to possibly get whitelists for
some upcoming things that they have going on within their ecosystem.
We're going to find out about their art upgrade, which is their reveal on, because they are
already, they do already have a few NFTs on Magic Eden.
If you guys have not went and checked that out, you know, we're going to dive pretty deep
into what BR1 is doing over there, and it's pretty cool.
Risk-based shooter game.
So if you have not checked that out, I know some guys are making some pretty good money,
but their droids are 1.393 Sol, 5.2 on the Apes, and the loot boxes, 5.5 Sol over there
as well.
But when I talk to the team, some pretty wild numbers that these guys are putting out right
now.
So, and they really haven't even touched the U.S. market.
So, it's going to be interesting.
And they are a, they are a partner of Portal.
So, trying to go after some of these Portal partners.
Some of them don't want to jump on spaces yet.
Some of them do.
But we're going to dive straight in with Ryan when they come in at 12 o'clock, trying to
get the other tweet pinned up here.
And if you see that last tweet yesterday from Portal Coin, actually, Kenny, where they're
talking about the, some of the tech, that if you look closely at the little video they
put out, when they're talking about the Portal wallet right here, it, the very first game
you see, they pop up, those assets, those are, that's BR1.
So, the ship is not, but the ape that you see, and then it scrolls back through, there's
an ape and a droid.
That's all BR1 in that video.
So, yeah.
So, yeah, it'll be good to dive in and see what is going on within that ecosystem.
And mainly, maybe, maybe some creeps will get, no, Chris, maybe some creeps will be able
to get some whitelists.
So, yeah.
So, happy Friday.
It's a good Friday.
Good things coming, I believe.
I had a lot happen yesterday, even though I was gone for most of the day.
But let's, let's dive right in.
Guys, you're more than welcome to come up on stage.
Not going to bite.
Please retweet the room.
Let's get more people in here.
Share this in your chats.
You know, drop a comment.
And if you have not.
Somebody go share it in the Discord, too.
I usually do that, but I'm not verified, so I can't post links.
I still don't think you can share any links in the Discord.
Not in Genshap.
I think you can.
I asked that yesterday, and they said it was just because I'm not verified.
Really?
And I don't even have access to lizard hands, because, yeah, I moved all my creeps, and
I still haven't gone through and done all that shit yet, so I'll try to get caught up
on that eventually.
Well, here, let me go try and do this, but I don't know if we can do that.
Let me go into general.
Breadboy, what's going on?
How you doing?
Welcome.
Yo, what up, homies?
Not a lot.
What up?
How are you?
Great.
How you guys doing?
Good, good.
Why did it say that I just now put, like, three pluses in the Discord?
I didn't even do that.
Let's see if it does it.
It let me put the link in there.
Oh, it's because I'm over here hitting it with my fucking keyboard.
You mean like I just told you it would let you put it in there?
You mean like, kind of like that?
Oh, we're good.
This guy trying to call me a boomer.
Look at this guy.
Bro, well, they turned the links off, so I didn't know.
I hadn't tried.
So, yeah, it is what it is.
Bread Boy, you doing all right, though?
Everything's good?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, I'm just having a little chill day in the office.
Not many people are in, so I can kind of speak out loud and no one really judge me here
in the office.
But, yeah, it's going good, man.
Looking forward to the weekend.
And, yeah, it's a great day.
Nice.
You mean they look at you crazy when you start talking about cartoon lizard JPEGs and they
think you're, like, maybe losing it a little bit?
Yeah, well, I mean, half my office are, like, freaking engineers.
So, half of them are, like, social, like, freaks anyway and, like, don't really talk to
anyone.
So, when they kind of hear someone talking out, I feel like a lot of them get scared.
But, yeah, I'm just vibing here.
I'm good.
Nice.
They can suck it.
Nice.
Dijani, welcome up.
Happy Friday to you.
Happy Friday.
How are you doing, guys?
Fantastic, man.
Ready for the weekend.
I have not absolutely one fucking thing planned.
It's not like I'm working during the week, like, in a real job.
I mean, I am doing as much as I can on Twitter.
But, yeah, it's...
Bro, you have 10 pudgies, like you told.
Yeah, no, I was fucking with somebody.
I don't even remember who that was.
Yeah.
Yeah, somebody was like, oh, I have...
If you have one pudgy or something like that in Lizard Lounge.
And I was like, yeah, I have 11.
So, yeah, it's all good.
No, don't have any pudgies.
But we are going to get to that.
So, yesterday, Kenny, pudgies hit 20.
And then they dropped right back down.
But that's pretty fucking wild, right?
Yeah.
With no confirmed coin, no confirmed...
Like, most of the time you see that run, it's all because of coin.
Now, obviously, they do have the Dimension, you know, airdrop that they're part of.
Do they have such a diamond tent community?
Or what's the case there?
I don't...
Bro, I think with every project, even Creeps, I think there's sometimes some fuckery about.
Um, so, I don't know.
I don't...
I think there could be something there.
But, I mean, yeah, they do obviously have some diamond hand holders.
Yeah.
And look, they've been gaining momentum for a good six, eight months now of steady progression
and floor price and whatnot.
More announcements came out recently.
I know they were partnering with that Chinese company.
Cheese talked about it the other day.
There's, uh, rumors of the, you know, uh, coin drop allocation to their community.
And at some point, you know, you're going to attract flippers, guys, who will just trade
off a volume, which is what happened yesterday.
Look, yesterday there was $43 million traded in ETH on NFTs.
It was a huge, huge green day for the majority of top projects.
Now, today, as you look at it, a lot of those projects that were big green yesterday are
now red.
Um, so it wasn't necessarily that sustainable.
Um, but I do think that Pudgy's just have been gaining so much momentum.
They're, they're really the only NFT project in the spotlight right now.
So I think everybody's trying to get their hands on one, uh, add in the, you know, just,
uh, flippers who are in there for the volume and trying to make a quick half ETH to a need.
Um, um, you saw a big run up yesterday.
Um, now it has come down, I think about 9%.
They're sitting at about 17.34 as of today.
Um, and I think they'll probably settle into this price range, um, over the weekend, maybe
down a little bit more, maybe not.
Um, but look, it's good for the overall market.
We want to see projects pumping, um, because it means that there's more liquidity coming back
into the market.
And ultimately that's what we want.
When creeps have our, our time to shine, we want these people who are spending 50 fucking
ETH on a Pudgy Penguin.
We want these guys buying creeps.
Yeah.
The, and I just put a commercial up at the top.
If you haven't seen that, it's a Pudgy Penguins commercial, um, advertising the plushies and,
um, all the IRL products they have, but also, uh, you know, talking about their game and
scanning the QR code.
So like, I mean, they're putting shit out, bro.
Bro, that commercial is awesome.
I wonder where they're running that ad.
Cause if that was being run on like YouTube or Spotify or something like that, I don't
know if it's going to be on TV, but like, I mean, dude, that's going to make kids freak
out.
Kids are going to see that and be like, Oh my God, I want to be a penguin.
Let me go into the, we got to go to Walmart, mom and dad, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's, uh, yeah, it's pretty, pretty wild.
I'm surprised my daughter hasn't seen it yet.
Uh, cause she obviously, when you see me live on video, you see the Pudgies in the background.
Those are all, uh, the ones that she buys and she still has, um, you know, she still has
more, um, you know, in her room.
Um, so like, and she's 10 years old, she likes the Pudgies.
Everybody likes a penguin, uh, stuffed animal.
So yeah, pretty, uh, pretty wild bro.
Uh, to see that.
I mean, I thought yesterday, I thought we were going to get flipped by little Pudgies.
If it wasn't for JD, uh, coming in and clean at house.
Yeah, no, look, they pumped as high as I believe 1.9 is where I stopped paying attention.
Uh, they've come down about 11% down to 1.71.
But yeah, look, those were the play.
They were sitting at 0.3, 0.4, uh, last August, September.
Um, that was a good pickup.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's pretty, uh, pretty wild.
Uh, Max, what's up, bro?
How you doing?
Yo, what up everybody?
Happy Friday.
It's been a minute.
I've been on here.
I've been staying in my own lane.
I'm not really good with tokens.
So I'm like, you know what?
You guys don't want to hear my nonsense.
So I'm going to stay in my own lane.
I do NFT.
So how's everybody been?
Good, good, man.
You're always welcome up.
Uh, sorry for the thumbs down.
And if you ever accidentally hit the thumbs down and you're like, oh shit, I'm a dickhead.
My bad.
No worries.
No worries, Kyle.
I'm used to you being a dickhead anyway.
So don't worry about it.
You know me well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what's going on?
How's everybody doing it, man?
You know what I mean?
Uh, Pudge Penguins is making their moves and stuff like that.
Yesterday, I thought, uh, JD was going to push us over a mutant ape, man.
I was like, come on, JD, keep doing it.
Keep doing it.
So, yeah, now, I mean, he's been, uh, sweeping up every, uh, every morning for the last few
days.
So, um, you know, bringing in that kind of money, I would imagine it's difficult to get
moved around.
So, but I mean, the guy said, I'm a sweep 25.
I think he did get 25.
He might be one or two shy, but, um, I, uh, I don't know if he's going to grab more, but
if he does, then, you know, uh, fantastic.
Uh, you know, it, it makes everybody creeps.
He wants, when's he going to grab my cock?
Whoa.
Yeah.
There's a fucking, there's a cock joke right there.
Yeah.
Um, I don't know.
I don't know how to respond to that, Kyle.
So maybe, maybe he showed today a chart, uh, from his floor app.
I think it was over $650,000.
I mean, it's crazy.
Just imagine a hundred.
Yeah.
But his, his bag though, bro, is probably well over a million because not only does he
have a one-on-one, he has a tail list.
He has like 30 or 20 some odd ballas.
Um, you know, so he has a lot of rare creeps.
So I would imagine his bags are sitting well over, um, well over $1 million.
It's a seven figure bag without a doubt.
Um, and, and you know what, that's, that's what you call conviction, right?
The guy, he's a believer, just like we all are, you know, and it's a sound investment
in my personal opinion, especially at these prices.
I mean, you look at pudgies, you look at board eights, right?
You're looking at some of these other collections like a Zuki and captains, you know, we're undervalued,
extremely undervalued.
And I talk about it all the time.
The amount of stuff we have on the plate for 2024, there's no reason we should be less
than a 10th floor.
So, I mean, at these prices, you're essentially getting these creeps for free in my opinion.
Yeah, I think so as well.
But, um, you know, I don't think pudgies will flip board eight because like board apes, board
ape, Yuga's Yuga, and I don't see it happening.
Um, I, there's several tweets pinned at the top, but you know, last year there was rumors
of, or there wasn't rumors.
It was a fucking announcement by Yuga where they're going to be leaving OpenSea and going
on Magic Eden and creating their own marketplace.
So the, uh, all Yuga assets would be moved over, uh, to Magic Eden.
And then Magic Eden tweets this morning about, um, something coming on Monday.
And if you look at the picture, I actually put two tweets up there, uh, thanks to my crack
research team, um, you know, unlike, uh, what Nick and Nifty and them.
Oh, I didn't know we got paid in crack.
I would have done more research.
Um, so Yuga back November 4th, uh, said planning something new for all creators.
And if you look at the character that they are holding in that tweet, uh, that he's pulling
out of the pot, then you will see that, um, then you will see that, uh, same character
is in the tweet from Jack Lou.
So, uh, who's the co-founder and CEO of Magic Eden.
So this is obviously something to do with the marketplace for apes.
And I think they're going to, they're going to start moving pretty good.
Um, once it, like if this goes live, uh, the marketplace, I thought it was February,
but they're definitely, um, they're definitely making moves.
What they announced yesterday, Kenny, wasn't it that they are doing, um, they redid the
website, right?
The clubhouse.
They've updated all that.
Yep.
I'm trying to find that tweet as well.
Um, I can't wait until we can do everything from fucking X on our desktop, like host a space,
be able to move everything over into the, into the, uh, feed live, uh, because it's such
a pain in the ass.
So, yeah, I mean, Yuga is going to come out and they said we have a big year ahead.
So I don't foresee, uh, pudgy flipping Yuga.
It's going to be very difficult.
Uh, I don't even first, I don't even see a creeps or overlord flipping, um, Yuga.
I don't just don't see it happening unless the boys actually get to work.
Cause what is it, January?
I don't know, man.
I disagree.
I think there is a sentiment in the fucking, in the community that people want to see Yuga
get flipped by another project.
Like in web three, I think people just want to see it, whether or not it'll happen.
I don't know.
But I think like, dude, I don't know, man.
I think it's, it's very possible.
I don't think they stay ahead of Yuga.
I think they might temporarily flip Yuga and then you could drop a bomb or the, or the,
you know, the board eight community rallies to, you know, rectify the situation, but who
knows?
Yeah.
I'm curious to see what type of traction, this new version of dookie dash brings back
in now, now that it's a, uh, free to play for everybody, right.
Uh, prior, it was token gated.
Uh, this is going to open up a lot of more, uh, a lot more, you know, streamers playing
the game, uh, which will just kind of, I think, put board eight back front and center.
Um, as far as, you know, it's going to, it's going to put everybody playing the game
like a lot.
I'll go play the fucking thing.
If you can win prizes and you don't have to be like some top gamer, I mean, like I'll
show my daughter and have her and her friends start playing it.
I mean, you can, you can win shit on it.
Why not?
It'll be trending for sure across social media platforms.
Um, and I think that could be somewhat of a resurgence, not to say that they've fallen
off.
I mean, obviously they've been stagnant in this 20 to 30 range for seems about a year
now.
I would, I would not mind being stagnant between 20 and 30.
Yeah.
That's yeah.
Yeah.
Not a bad deal.
It's a good spot to be sitting in.
Like nobody's running up that high unless it's, you know, punks have stayed above 50 or I
think they shot right under 50, but man, I'll take that all fucking day.
To be honest with you guys, I just want something that word this next Thanksgiving.
I can finally tell everybody I told you.
So that's it, man.
I'm like, see fuckers.
I fucking told you so I can retire now.
So fucking creeps.
Come on, dude.
I talk to my brother all the time and it's like every other week he's like, so how's that
crypto thing going?
And I'm like, bro, it's going just fine.
Like, don't worry about it.
Like I told you to buy Bitcoin when it fell all the way down to 17, 18 K you didn't do
Um, you know, but it's, it's always, Oh, well, when you make a few million, just, you know,
remember where your brother's at.
I'm like, no bitch, you can make some money too.
Yo, speaking of crypto punks, uh, you had brought that up.
Did you see the, um, the bid that came in yesterday, you know, um, they're doing the
OTC auctions on some of these crypto punks, uh, punk number two, three, eight, six received
its first bid in nearly two years of 2.26 million, a 900 ETH bid.
Did you see that geez?
Uh, I did see that.
That's pretty fucking wild.
Uh, would you, would you sell that or would you keep it?
Um, God, man, I mean, it's hard to turn down two and a quarter million dollars.
Um, I'd probably sell it.
Yeah.
I'd sell it in a fucking heartbeat, but I mean, it is a, um, it is a, it is a eight punk.
So those, those are very, uh, dude, liquidity is only just getting ready to start flowing into
NFTs.
Like, I don't know, man, the time to sell that to the time to sell anything like a BAYC
or a crypto punk or a fucking squiggle or a Fidenza, any of that shit.
The time for that is Pico bull run, not like right before the fucking liquidity.
But two million, but $2 million, that's a lot of fucking money.
It's a lot of money to you or me, but a cat that's holding a fucking ape crypto punk
right now.
I mean, it's still a lot of money, but you know, it's, it's all about perspective, dude.
You know, I used to, I used to categorize, uh, crypto punks would like board eight.
I, they're in a category by themselves.
I've come to the realization that crypto punks are in a category by themselves.
I don't think any other project will ever come close to them because they are the legacy
of legacy collections, right?
The very first, uh, one to pop off.
And I really do think it's a piece of web three history owning one of these things.
And that's why I don't think they'll ever have a situation where, you know, they're not
the number one, uh, collection in web three.
So like, yeah, it's a, it's a piece of history, you know, it has historical relevance.
Um, so yeah, I would maybe think twice about selling it to tell you the truth.
I'd probably, I probably would.
It's hard to turn down $240 million, but at the same time, bro, you can go buy like five
fucking crypto punks, still take your wife and go on a vacation, you know, throw some
money in the kid's face, still have money left over, go sweep a bunch of creeps, uh, and
move the fuck on.
Like there's so many opportunities to make, uh, you know, a $2.2 million.
A lot of, yeah.
But the crypto punks, in my opinion, again, throwing it out there, in my opinion, the crypto
punks are kind of like the Jordan ones, you know what I mean?
Like they're the silhouette.
They're like the OGs, OGs of the, you know what I mean?
They're nice to have in your collection, but fuck, I wish I can sell my ones and I can
go and buy some fours.
I can go buy some 11s, go buy some 12s and add, you know, stock up my collection even more.
But it's like the same thing with the crypto punks.
You can have one crypto punk where you can sell and buy it.
You know what I mean?
It's just, it's just, it's just cool to say that, Hey, I have an OG project in my wallet.
Yeah.
I mean, look, it's a, it's a crypto punk eight.
Those are super rare.
And speaking of eights, uh, geez, do you mind if I segue into another subject here?
Yeah.
I don't, go ahead.
I was looking at the crypto undeads and I did see that a crypto undead, hold on, a crypto
undead eight just sold for 110 Solana.
What?
Like right now?
Just about 30 minutes ago, man.
Oh my God.
Right before that, it sold for a hundred.
So the person who bought it for a hundred turned around and listed it for 110.
Now floor price on this right now is 5.82.
I don't know what the person's thinking, whoever's buying this for what is that almost 20 X the
floor.
Um, but it is, I think it's possibly, uh, it's not the number one.
I think the red devil that, uh, dingaling God is the number one, but it's, and I put that
at the top, like how convenient is that for dingaling to reveal fucking, uh, a one-on-one
devil, you know, like, Oh, this accidentally fell in my wallet.
Well, how many did he met?
I don't know a lot, but you get the number, like one of the top traders in the space gets
the one-on-one.
Like, I don't know.
Y'all always in a hurry to fucking hate though.
For real.
You always got your tinfoil hat on.
You got some motherfucker.
You got Mario Watson's face with Elon Musk on stage with a few thousand people in the
room.
And you're like, Oh, it's bought it.
Or maybe he's just talking about the most relevant fucking subjects.
And he's the biggest faces host on Twitter.
I don't know.
Well, hold on.
Let's, let's get everybody's thought out who's on stage.
Let's get your thoughts on the crypto undeads.
So my take is, you know, there was no art reveal.
There was no art leak prior to mint.
So initially when they minted, they were selling for upwards of 20 to 25 Solana pre-reveal right
after it started minting and minted out.
Floor prices now come down to 5.8.
A lot of, you know, backlash on the timelines and the team messed up by not revealing any
of the art so people could have expectations.
So the question is, can you have realistic expectations for a project that does no art
leak, no art reveal prior to the mint and still be considered successful when it does reveal?
Because there's always going to be people who are let down by it.
Well, I'm not a fan, like the whole undocs thing.
Like if you're going to be a founder in the space and you're asking for money and you're
asking for a lot of fucking money, like, you know, who the fuck are you?
So that's my thing now, you know, I know there's going to be money opportunities to make money
on so many projects and I'm sure I'll end up buying some of the bullshit, but like, I
want to buy into the person.
I want to be able to trust that person and, you know, as much as I possibly can, you know,
but like if I can't do that, then yeah, I'm not game for, you know, the crypto undead
thing was just weird.
I, you know, I, I look at the artwork to me, it's a combination of Nagamigos and genuine
undead kind of blended together in the PFP.
But when you're, when, when the founders are out, they're saying that this artwork is going
to like melt faces, which is what they were saying prior to, I guess, I guess it's Dala
who's the, the founder was saying this artwork is like next level.
It's going to, and then you see this, of course, people are going to be underwhelmed when they
see the artwork.
Now, obviously you've got people who are, you know, some people are happy and say, oh,
it's awesome.
But then you're seeing a lot of hate on the timeline of people, you know, saying this is
whack, you know?
So, um, and personally, like for me, you know, as I'm watching the floor price dip even further,
5.59 now, um, the insta sell is higher than the lowest listed, uh, crypto undeads.
I just, you know, when you hype something up that much and you don't deliver on that level,
what other outcome could you expect other than what's happening right now?
Yeah.
I don't know if these things evolve because they said the, the, the reveal isn't linear,
which means it's not going to be like a normal reveal.
So like, I don't like, but they reveal.
So I don't know if they change.
Um, I have the slightest clue, but regardless, I mean, Hey, if you like pixel art, then cool.
If you bought at 18, 20 plus soul, you got wrecked.
Uh, I'm looking at all these last buys and it's just like, Ooh, you know, seeing some
of these, um, do you remember the number of the, the one, the guy paid 80 for no 110
and it sold prior to that for a hundred.
So no, no, no, no.
I'm talking about the guy that bought unrevealed.
He bought like number five, eight, three.
Let me check five, eight, three, one.
I don't remember the number of version.
Um, yeah, but it was pretty high and there was all the speculation that the metadata was
already out there.
Um, regardless, it was not a good investment in my opinion.
Um, you know, I don't remember the fucking number and I, I even said, I want to go back
and look at this thing.
It's probably like rank 9,000, um, that he paid 80 soul for it.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't get it.
Um, pretty wild.
So the, the, the sale for 110, it's a crypto end at six, five, one.
It's an eight.
Um, and you know, uh, it's a 0.01% legendary eight.
So it looks like it's a one to one.
Um, but still that's, that's pretty pricey considering the floor price is five and a half
right now.
Yeah.
Pretty great, great, great, crazy.
Um, all right.
Markets are down, right?
Everywhere across the board.
Uh, but we're, I think we're still in a good spot.
Um, I seen where, uh, Bitcoin ETFs have passed up silver.
I put that tweet at the top from Steve, uh, from NFT bark.
I seen it on a couple of other places, but this was the most updated one.
Um, but they have 30 billion in assets under management just on the ETF so far.
And what, we're, what, eight days in, or is it even that long?
Not even, no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or yeah.
Business days.
But yeah, I believe it passed the last Thursday.
So yeah.
Rounding up on.
It's second to gold.
So gold's like at 90, 90 billion, I think.
Um, so obviously Bitcoin has a long way to go.
Uh, but imagine, I think it would end up passing up gold in the next cycle.
Like next year, I think we could see it 2025, 2026.
I think we could see Bitcoin like be number one, which would be fucking insane.
Now it's only been eight days that it's been approved.
This space moved so fast.
That feels like two months ago, dude.
Yeah, no, it's only been a week.
Now we are a week past.
Um, the, the speculation that the ETF was priced into Bitcoin when it was hovering around 48, 49.
I kind of think is, is true right now.
I mean, because we are down to 40 and a half right now.
Um, I wish we had SB up here cause he could give us some technical analysis on it.
I know there are some, um, certain, uh, price points that, uh, are indicative of which direction
the market will continue to move in.
But, uh, yeah, I down, we're going down.
We're all burning.
Um, yeah, I mean, just over the past week, looking at the seven day chart, um, it is down
8.28%.
Um, and if you look at the month, it did top out at 49,000 on, um, January 11th.
Yeah.
And it's down to 40 and a half right now.
So, bro, I want to get your opinion.
So I just put this tweet up here at the top.
It's from Kopey.eth.
So this guy found a active listing on his Coinbase marketplace.
And this just goes to show you how shitty their marketplace is.
So bro, Kopey, no Hopi.
That's a new snorkels bar.
I'm going to DM him that.
Kopey, no Hopi.
Um, so luckily this guy did not have anyone over on Coinbase looking to go buy any NFTs.
This guy's NFT was listed until it expired January 1st, 2050.
And he had it listed for 7.31E.
And it was a pretty dope pudgy with a Viking hat.
Um, but in his tweet, he says, um, right here, he must listen to two years ago, but he said,
big thanks, uh, though, to the Coinbase NFT tech lead who put the penguin private in DMV.
Now, is that illegal for Coinbase employees to interact with like a listing like that in
the go market private when it's not like, how does that work?
Does anybody know?
Uh, I do not know.
Number one, number two, this tells us what a colossal fail the Coinbase marketplace was.
I mean, the fact that there's a pudgy sitting there for 17th and nobody picks it up shows
you how little traffic they're actually getting.
I don't even know.
I'm curious to know what the numbers are, um, over the, over the course of the last year,
as far as volume goes.
But, um, I would have obviously nothing.
I mean, I've been, I've been a part of a couple of projects that minted over there on Coinbase
NFT.
And I just want to say it's not as, uh, fun as it is on other.
How are those projects doing right now?
Um, so yeah.
How about them creeps?
You know what I mean?
God damn.
That's crazy though, bro.
Could you imagine if the guy would have lost it?
Just got an alert from Coinbase saying you're in a key sold.
Um, and then, well, that would have been wild.
Um, I'm trying to see here.
I'm actually, I want to go over here and look and make sure some assholes don't have creeps
listed.
Little, little Trump breaking news.
Um, Trump is listing on ordinal.
So Trump announced that he will be doing an ordinal collection for his mugshot edition,
uh, for any, all Trumpers out there.
Yeah.
But you got to get a hundred of his NFTs, bro.
Is that what?
Yeah.
You got to own a hundred of the latest NFTs.
I think there's 20,000 in that collection.
And if you have a hundred, then you qualify for an ordinal.
So it's a Trump, Trump ordinal, um, which is pretty wild.
Now his collection that he recently sold, but you can't eat.
Those don't come out till 2025.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Let me see.
Oh, I know that last round of NFT mugshots that he did.
You could buy them, but with the stipulation that you're not going to receive them until
2020.
So right here, Donald Trump to release his first ever Bitcoin ordinals purchase 100 Trump
digital trading cards via weath mugshot edition and get a one of one Trump digital trading card
minted as a Bitcoin ordinal max supply 200.
All of them are one-on-ones.
So how much would a hundred of them even cost you?
Like, aren't those things $200 a piece?
Uh, we can go check.
Hang on.
Yeah.
I think they're $200 a piece, but well, that's what they meant it for.
Because I remember being on a call, uh, with a few, uh, idiots that actually meant it a few.
Um, so trading cards are selling for 0.27.
Don't you also only need 47 of them to get to go to the like Mar-a-Lago dinner?
Like, do you think the Mar-a-Lago dinner is worth more or less than a fucking Donald Trump
ordinal that's going to zero as soon as everyone realizes it's retarded to transact on Bitcoin?
It's obviously less, but bro, check this out.
What if you do that and you have a hundred in one of the perks of the one-on-one is that
you get to go to his inauguration in January when he wins the election.
And like, you get to be on stage, sitting like the second row.
You can slap some former president.
Jesus, you got a fucking crystal ball sitting in your lap, my guy?
This guy said, when he wins the election.
Uh, he's going to.
Who's going to win?
It was a landslide in the latest Republican polls.
He's crushing everybody right now.
Bro, Biden.
And we're going to get an announcement like six.
I'm not going to say that because then I don't want the show to get canceled.
I don't need the FBI showing up at my house.
Uh, homeland security, nothing like that.
So, yeah.
Um, look, volumes up over there.
Um, like I said, the floor sitting at 0.27 right now.
0.27.
What?
Soul?
Are we?
Yeah.
For the, for the mug shots?
Oh, wait.
Is it the mug shots or the?
No, it's, it's the mug shot edition that you have to get.
Okay.
Um, yeah.
And I don't know.
I, you got to get a hundred of them.
So, yeah, I don't even know.
Uh, Trump mug shot additions, 48,000 of them.
There are a thousand.
It doesn't look like they're trading, um, because I don't think they're out.
Uh, you gotta, yeah, but you gotta buy them somewhere else.
I think you can buy them somewhere.
Uh, I don't know.
Anybody that's interested in going and getting a one-on-one Trump, then, uh, go ahead.
Um, let her rip, tell your chip.
Never live on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, I don't know, bro.
That's pretty wild.
Um, also, breaking is the, and Kyle, you knew about this, Kenny.
I don't know if you do.
Uh, Plague is doing this, uh, this chicken thing with Hen House.
It's called Hen House NFT.
Yeah.
Yeah, so they're basically launching an egg farm in El Salvador, um, you know, and theoretically
that's pretty scalable, which, like, you know, I don't know.
I like the idea of it.
Um, I have a whitelist spot.
I don't know if I'm going to mint or not.
To be honest, I'm going to pay attention to how things, it's minting tomorrow, I think,
the 20th.
Yeah, tomorrow.
Um, I don't know.
I see a lot of people in the spaces when Pons is in there and not a lot of people when Pons
isn't in there.
So, you know, take that for what it's worth.
And then I was told multiple times that the mint price would be under a hundred dollars
and then they announced the mint price and it's like just over a hundred dollars.
I think it's 0.049 or something like that.
That's the public.
And then I think the whitelist is 0.03 something.
So like, yeah, I don't know.
I definitely like the idea of it.
Um, I just, I'm not sure if it's going to go well or not.
So I'm going to keep an eye on it tomorrow.
And you know, if it looks like it's going well, I'll probably mint one.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, I know, uh, I only seen it because I seen Pons say that he's throwing up a space
tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, uh, prior to mint.
And that way, you know, you can, uh, I guess go in there and get some more insight on it.
Um, I know he's, uh, you know, he's actively busy over there and it seems like they're doing
a lot of IRL shit with their utility, uh, for, so obviously if you had a plague, did you
get whitelisted that way too?
Or was that just an opportunity?
That I don't know.
Cause I don't have a plague.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
So if you're interested in some eggs, Hey, go over and check it out.
Uh, who knows?
I know eggs are expensive where I live.
I don't know about eggs from, where'd you say they're coming from?
Ecuador?
Salvador?
What, what'd you say?
El Salvador?
El Salvador.
Yep.
Same place that they're doing all of their coffee bean, uh, farming.
Yeah.
Damn.
Um, the plague's going to have the whole fucking, um, uh, industry locked up over there
before too long.
I will say this ponds.
I do think, you know, he's a great founder really pushing, you know, what you can get
out of a web three NFT project.
Like, you know, he's turning, uh, you know, NFT projects into real businesses.
So I am a fan of that.
Um, and I'm a fan of ponds.
Great founder.
Uh, I just had a picture sent to me about the coin base, um, about the coin base, uh,
creeps being on coin base.
And it says, um, that this collection has been removed due to violations of the coin
base NFT terms of service.
So I thought you were going to tell me there's still one listed at 0.08 because no one pays
attention over there.
Yeah.
It says, learn more about why we remove some content for legal reasons.
I think that was because the team never really, when they migrated and did a contract upgrade,
they probably, uh, it, it probably threw things, uh, sideways.
So that'd be my guess.
Um, trust me, the guys are still building.
So don't, don't fret, uh, when you try and go over there and get something.
So yeah.
Uh, future trades.
What's up, bro.
How you doing?
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
Hey, Hey, I was just commenting on the eggs.
Um, my next door neighbors, they own three egg farms.
They own the one from Napoleon dynamite in Idaho and then the one in Washington state.
And then they own one in Utah and like, I'm talking like 8 million chickens, right?
Holy shit.
Yeah.
So they have, it's like between two and a half to 3 million chickens at each site.
And then they, uh, take the manure or whatever, and they have fertilizer businesses in each state as well.
So I don't know what they'll do in Ecuador with the whole egg farming deal with that NFT, but that's, it's a pretty profitable business.
They, they do very well.
I can tell you that.
That's crazy, bro.
Uh, I'm sitting here trying to, I'm trying to look up, uh, how just so you know, it's El Salvador future trades and El Salvador is like super crypto friendly all of a sudden, right?
Like they put a whole bunch of their money into Bitcoin and they're really leaning into the whole crypto thing here.
So I think it is an interesting play, uh, the way that all this plague stuff is being developed out there.
Well, I mean, the global market value in 2022 for the egg business is $136.17 billion.
Holy shit.
Uh, that's pretty wild, bro.
Yeah.
So, um, my friend, he goes to like Washington DC and they lobby for eggs.
Right.
And so they have like all these ex celebrities there at their egg farm events.
It's pretty funny.
He comes home with pictures of like him and Muggsy Bogues or him and some Joe Namath or whatever that are at these egg farm events, trying to lobby the, the government to, you know, to, for pricing and all that kind of stuff.
So anyway, just, just a insight.
I heard you talking about that.
I was like, man, I'm, I'm close to home on the whole egg farm thing.
That's yeah.
It's pretty wild, man.
And, uh, you know, it's excellent that you came back up on stage.
Uh, I would kick you off the stage right now for that.
Like, bro, if you own a egg farm or a chicken farm, like how many egg funds do you try and use in a week?
Like, uh, it'd get pretty wild.
Um, yeah, Kyle, you, you can't kick me off, bro.
Uh, it's unfortunate.
Um, Alex, what's up, bro?
It looks like you are, uh, chief operating officer at BR1.
What's happening?
I am.
I appreciate your guys' patience as I was a little bit late here.
Um, but not much.
I'm excited to be joining us.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, no, we're excited to have you guys.
Uh, we're excited to have you guys on.
I'm going to get some other Pete, uh, some other tweets pinned at the top.
Um, and if there's any that you want to put up there, I have some that I pinned earlier,
but, uh, there's so many, uh, so many tweets up there, but yeah, we're going to run through
a few more things and then we're going to dive into BR1 like a, like a madman.
And so, um, yeah, um, Kenny, I guess let's, uh, this last 15 minutes, let's run through,
uh, SOMO and this monolith.
Uh, what in the hell is the monolith and what is it going to do?
Yeah.
Super excited about that.
Um, seeing a lot of, uh, theories coming out as to what exactly could the monolith be?
Um, and I've kind of been gathering people's opinions.
Um, but I haven't come up with anything concrete, so let's, uh, let's powwow this.
What are we thinking it is?
I have the slightest fucking clue.
I mean, it's a monolith.
So like, I, I don't know.
So I seen some people were talking about how they could end up being just like the MVPs in
meme, um, or they could end up being like the overworld keys.
Obviously I've seen 30 people immediately be like nodes, nodes, nodes.
It's like they're throwing fucking nodes to everything.
So I don't understand.
Yeah.
I don't think any of these NFTs are nodes.
I think that's a crazy take.
I think they might end up being like the coders were on the other side land plots.
I think there, we know there's going to be a SOMO land NFT mint.
And I think that these things might appear on some of those land plots.
Oh, do you think the monoliths may appear on the land plots?
Yeah, dude, they're monoliths, right?
So they're going to be geographically located probably in the SOMO map somewhere.
Huh?
Huh?
And what does this monolith do?
It says it gives you, um, uh, shit.
I thought I had it up right here.
Kenny, can you read that out?
The monolith?
I thought I had it up right here.
Uh, but I don't, I'm slacking here.
Hold on.
I'm getting to it.
Sorry guys.
Uh, so introducing the monolith collection, 120 elemental sources that power the SOMO universe
monolith supercharge value in the ecosystem from SOMO NFTs to airdrops.
Open your eyes as we unveil more.
And then they actually ended up putting a channel in the discord, um, to, um, they actually put
a channel in the discord for monolith.
So I would definitely pay attention to that.
Um, so we can see what's going on, but he has a lot of theories on what that's going to
Uh, real quick, let's get to, uh, Lizzo.
And then we're going to start diving in.
Um, cause I know Ryan just came up.
Lizzo, what's going on?
Uh, I just, uh, I just bought my creeps, uh, made a Twitter profile.
I have, uh, two followers and I was thinking if the creeps follow the creeps or is it not
the thing?
Uh, creeps do follow the creeps.
I'm going to get you back.
Is it, bro, is this the lizard account or is Cush?
What is going on here?
You got me, bro.
You got me.
I scooped another one.
I scooped another one, bro.
I got three creeps now.
Nice.
Hey, Lizzo, you picked that one up off the floor yesterday, huh?
That one was dope.
I was looking at that one with that, uh, the creeps jacket and the hat on backwards and
stuff like that.
I was thinking about getting that one.
That one's dope.
Nice pick up.
Yeah, bro.
That's the one.
Nice.
Uh, I'm happy to be here.
My mic was rocking earlier.
Uh, guys, guys, uh, quick, um, we're getting, uh, first centralized exchange listing for
the lizards and it's going to go live either on a weekend or on Monday latest.
Nice.
Nice.
Good.
If anybody's following lizard, checking lizard, uh, make sure you are following every one of
these accounts that Kush has going on because the guy's, uh, insane.
Uh, I think this is the fourth account.
I don't know.
Um, a lot of alt accounts.
He must be entering a lot of giveaways, um, on that side.
So I know Kenny, why do you have a blue dot Kyle?
Is Kenny still showing up on your screen as a co-host?
He is, but he has a blue dot on my screen too.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on there.
Um, I had to like join four or five times just to be able to hear you.
That's why I was in and out.
And, uh, yeah, it's so, it's so crazy.
Um, yeah.
Uh, let's dive on in.
Um, Ryan, welcome up.
I know, uh, Alex joined us, uh, here shortly, uh, before you came in.
Uh, yeah.
Kenny just dropped down.
I don't know what's going on.
We'll get them back up here.
I want to get some of the, uh, BR one tweets pin back up because I know they probably got
buried, um, in the background on everything else.
And guys, make sure you are retweeting the room, dropping a comment.
We're going to have some opportunities for, um, holders, uh, creeps holders coming up, um,
that I am working on with, um, you know, with the, the BR one team here.
So let's, we'll get to that here shortly, trying to throw these last few tweets up that
you guys had just recently, uh, came in with, but yeah.
So, uh, Brian, I mean, uh, Ryan, welcome up.
Sorry.
I was trying to get somebody up on stage.
Um, Ryan, how you doing?
Good morning.
I'm doing good.
Happy to be here, dude.
Yeah, man.
I'm excited.
I've been excited since our call.
So, um, yeah, glad you guys could make it in.
Despite Twitter rugging us all morning, I, uh, I'm happy that we finally got to be here
with you today and with this incredible lizard community.
Um, it was a pleasure speaking to the other day and, you know, I'm, uh, I'm really excited
to share the good word of the R one infinite with the greater web three community.
Yeah, bro.
Um, I I've been diving in it since we actually finished our call.
I keep looking in more and more, obviously, cause I want to know, uh, as much as possible
with the, uh, and also educate the community here, uh, and everyone else that's going to
end up coming back in and listening, uh, later on, because I know we have a lot of, a lot
of holders over in Australia and, um, you know, other parts of, uh, Europe and Asia that,
that they can't listen in live.
So, um, I guess let's dive right in, uh, Ryan, who's Ryan.
Why is Ryan?
Why is right?
And BR one, um, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and, and, and your background?
What's up folks?
My name is Evan Reier.
And if you switch the first two letters of my first and last name, you get the alter
ego, Ryan ever.
My background historically was in the accounting space.
After my accounting career, I did a lot of Bitcoin mining, deployed about 32 megawatts
of, of mining equipment, 9,500 ASICs and 11,000 graphics cards for, for other mining opportunities.
And when that wasn't so cool anymore, I pivoted into cloud gaming where I was eaten alive by
the likes of Google and NVIDIA.
Still very bullish on video games.
In early 2020, I launched an e-sports wagering in tournament platform called Compete.gg.
This was a platform where you could bet on your performance in video games versus your
friends.
Me and you in a game of Call of Duty for five bucks.
Me and you on the same team in Fortnite, who will get more headshots.
Me and you playing NHL, who will get the most slap shots.
You name the game, you name the, the item you want to bet on, and we would automatically
track those stats and pay out those users.
I sold this company to a public company on the Toronto Stock Exchange called React Gaming
Group.
And I stayed behind for about nine months as the CEO of the subsidiary of the now public
company before stepping down to start this game studio, our current company with my,
my set of co-founders.
So in 2021, we had an idea.
We wanted to build a shooting game that provided tangible value for the time you spent inside
of it.
And in early 2022, we had our MVP ready.
We went to a Solana event in LA and we presented the game to the world.
And, you know, we, we got off stage and we, people are just blown away by the product.
And they said, wow, that was, that was a really cool video.
You know, I'm blown away.
I'm intrigued by what you're building.
We responded video.
We were playing live on stage.
Nobody believed us.
They're like, if you were playing live on stage, that makes you the first playable web
three game in all of crypto and web three.
And I looked at my partner and my partner looks at me and behold, we were the first to market
with a playable web three game with an HD graphic style and playable NFTs.
After that point, we, we went into our raise.
We raised three and a half million from guys like Krafton, who are the owners of PUBG, Justin
Kahn, the co-founder of Twitch, six man ventures led around, Shima Capital participated, Solana
also invested, Aptos, and a handful of other core names in both gaming and the web three space.
I'm looking, I'm looking through all these, these investors and it's, it's pretty, uh, if you go
to bravoready.com, um, guys, you can see what I'm looking at, but you see everyone there listed
that he's talking about Aptos, Magic Eden, uh, Justin Kahn, Krafton and whatnot.
I mean, these are some big people to come in to you after just, you know, uh, what people
thought was a video that you were playing for sure.
And, you know, we, we didn't necessarily understand the state of the market building video games
is highly complex and many people have failed in the pursuit, but having a background in
both e-sports gambling and software, well, we were built for this as of 2022, we continue
to build and come July of last year, we finally felt comfortable bringing the game to market
in a more public setting.
So we did a go-to-market targeting Brazil and we did this because one, I wanted to launch
the game and I, I was concerned if, if we launched in North America and we got bad feedback, well,
you would all hear about it.
So what we did is we translated our website to Portuguese, translated parts of the game,
brought on a Portuguese community manager, and we launched in Brazil where if there was
bad feedback, one, you wouldn't have heard.
And two, it gives us a safe environment to test what we're building.
In July and August, we launched the game in South America and it was a smash success.
It was two-part, the game is really fun and our game is called BR1, which to the Brazilian
audience read, Brazil number one, and they loved it.
We took the feedback that we received from our Brazilian community.
We as well strained our tech infrastructure and improved on it.
We released a handful of new builds and updates.
Our most recent came live in December, on December 15th of last year.
All in, we have well over a hundred thousand users in BR1 Infinite.
We exist in the top one percentile of web three games and indie games on a global scale.
We like to say internally, we design for the athlete, the audience member, the content creator,
and the game investor.
And really, you know, we could define a gamer in any of those profiles and let me help you
with it.
So I don't get to play games.
I am a gamer, but I don't have the time to play games.
I may not have a million followers on Twitter, but I do create content and I strictly post
about gaming.
I'm more of a content creator than I am a player.
I also watch games more than I play.
I'm a huge audience member.
And like everybody here in this space, we are all web three investors.
There's many people here who don't have a PC to download my game, but would still support
it, are intrigued by the concept and want to participate.
If you drive incentives and rewards between these four profiles, the athlete, the audience,
the content creator, and the game investor, you build a really strong ecosystem.
And that's exactly what we did.
For the athlete, the pitch is simple.
We pay you to play video games.
If you maintain a positive KD, you make money.
So in BR1 Infinite, there are different risk modes.
There's a free mode, 10 cent game mode, and a $1 game mode.
In the $1 game mode, for example, you pay $1 to spawn into a huge map.
It's an open world shooter.
There's no timer.
There's no end.
This isn't a battle right now.
You pay $1 to enter this huge server.
And for every player that you eliminate, you earn $1 USD.
All measured by US dollars.
No, no, right there.
So when I spawn in, and I pay that $1, and I come in, is there an end point of the game?
Or is it like in PUBG, you have 100 people, so the match ends at some point.
Is it just constantly going, and you can just respawn, and the game is never stopping?
That is correct.
You spawn into the map.
There's players there.
When you die, you can choose to play again, or exit the game, and respawn in that same server, or another one.
Now, in the $1 game mode, you pay $1 to spawn, you earn $1 for every kill.
You have two options to leave the game.
You could die, or you could survive.
If you last in the game for 10 minutes, you could extract yourself, salvage your KD, and walk away with all of your money.
As a company, we take a percentage of user earnings.
It goes without saying.
And let's dive into the nitty-gritty of that.
There's two journeys, that of a free player and that of a paid player.
Free players play in our free game mode.
You can level up your user profile.
You can complete missions.
And the rewards for leveling up and completing missions are USD, $0.10, $0.25, and in-game items, which are NFTs that you could sell and gain liquidity for immediately.
The standard user journey is one where a free player shows up, they level up, they complete some missions, and they get like $0.50.
And then they try the real money game mode, maybe the $0.10 game mode.
You realize really quickly, once you start playing for money, you never get the same level of thrill unless you always have money on the line.
You're sitting on the edge of your seat.
Your heart is beating on the outside of your chest.
You're hiding in the game.
You're healing.
You're third-partying your opponents.
When you have that real money element, you see session time nearly double.
I think it's just over doubles now.
How many guys are actively playing during a day?
Like, say, a 24-hour cycle?
We do about 3,000 matches a day.
What's up, Lizzo?
Oh, sorry.
I thought it was to the audience.
My bad.
No, no, no.
No, you're still here.
Yeah, we do about 3,000 matches a day.
And all in, there's about $70,000 U.S. between the user accounts right now.
So if you hopped in and you wanted to know how much money can I make from all the players, there's about 70 Gs in circulation between those users right now.
Holy shit.
So you can spot.
Go ahead, Kenny.
Wow, Ryan, that's impressive.
So you're saying your DAUs are growing month over month.
Would you say you're on that projectile right now?
Oh, who's somebody?
We're live at somebody's call.
Yeah, I know.
Caller, we're listening to you.
You're alive.
Jesus.
I don't know what the hell he's doing.
Go ahead, Kenny.
Yeah, Kenny, we see pure linear growth, which is super exciting.
And I want to point out BR1 Infinite is a downloadable PC game.
It's not easy to acquire games for a downloadable, but we do it very well.
We have a super low cost of user acquisition.
And in addition to BR1 Infinite, under our studio, Bravo Ready, we also produce another very successful game called Aptos Arena on the Aptos blockchain.
It's a WebGL shooter.
And on that game, we have about 20,000 monthly actives.
Yeah, go ahead.
No, those are wild numbers, especially two games.
Oh, and congratulations on 10,000 followers.
You just hit that.
I did.
I'm super stoked.
Yeah, I just seen that.
I'm looking at your Twitter profile pulled up, and it just went right over.
I was one of them.
I was one of them.
Let's go, team.
I got a serious question.
What's up, Lizzo?
Yeah, I want to know.
I'm a huge PUBG COD player.
So when I see this game, I was just checking out your profile, bro.
So is there plans?
I saw you have some kind of ape skins.
Is there any plans to have lizard creeps skins or battle passes to include the creeps?
So I'll be outright with you.
BR1 Infinite is more than just the game.
BR1 Infinite.
Yeah.
We are building a franchise.
And if you go on YouTube and you just type BR1 Cinematic, or if you go on our Twitter
and you scroll through some of our videos, you will notice that we have an incredibly
high level of media production.
We have two Emmy award-winning animators, a part of our team.
And building up the storyline and the lore around BR1 Infinite is a big part of our journey.
And for that reason, I can't necessarily just include any IP in the environment.
So what we do is we find ways to include different Web3 communities in a more meaningful way that
doesn't necessarily disrupt the story of what we're building.
And what that looks like is when you connect, let's say you go to play BR1 Infinite and you're
a Degod's holder.
You'll notice that in your inventory, you have an Easter egg.
It's a pistol.
I don't want to drop too much alpha, but in the case of Degod's, it's an incredibly cool and hyper-quality
desert eagle that has the associated Degod art and IP included on it.
So there's different ways that we include the IP of these different communities.
Could be in the map.
You know, we create like, I'll give you another example.
We create like a bar in the map that revolves around the IP of the media of a specific community.
Or there's different posters and billboards where we call them out, but we don't necessarily
include the characters as playable characters.
You know, I'm really intrigued by, you know, because so as, as, you know, Web3 Gaming has
evolved over the past couple of years and it's really starting to pick up a lot of momentum,
you know, you see a lot of play to earns.
The play to spawn though, I love the concept of this.
Is this something that you guys originally thought of?
I own 20 plus trademarks as it relates to pay to spawn, kill to earn, win to earn, and
a couple of other items in between.
The premise is play to earn doesn't work.
The concept of play to earn means you're handing out your investors capital to pay people to
play your game.
And that's not how we work.
This is pay to spawn, kill to earn.
You put up a dollar and when you kill someone, you get someone else's dollar.
And I take a percentage of that.
It's a very scalable revenue model.
We've done over 2 million in generated revenue thus far at USD.
And we're very excited for the numbers that we will share come Q1.
I think Jesus can attest, you will never find a more transparent set of executives than my
team.
We are always happy to open our backend and show you guys our real numbers, our core traction,
our real finances.
And that's because we have them.
And I know what it's like to be in startup mode.
I know what it's like to have to tell a story about traction and, and, you know, kind of hide
some of those things so that your, your game looks more appealing.
We are not in that position.
We are the real deal.
And we're so excited to be welcoming so many core web three users now into what we're doing.
And on that topic, I want to talk about that, that core profile, the web three investor.
We have athletes.
I told you the free player journey.
I told you the paid player journey.
Well, let's talk about you guys.
Ryan, when you, when you, cause you speak passionately about gaming, obviously, and with
compete, uh, dot GG, you refer to the player as athletes.
So obviously e-sports is like big to you, big to the brand.
It's big to be our one big to everything that Bravo ready is doing.
So like what, like define that for us.
Cause a lot of people are probably like, why the hell does he keep saying athlete?
Um, you don't hear that guys, a lot of you, again, you may like what you're doing.
But I'm saying, but you can't play the game.
So how do you get involved?
How does this work exactly?
I'm sorry.
I can't help myself.
It's cause he can't catch a ball.
That's why he calls him athlete.
No, I'm just kidding.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
I'm the local clown here, Ryan.
I'm just talking with you, man.
Oh, it's okay, brother.
I, uh, I am the outlier.
I do hit the gym every day.
I do maintain a social life.
I still do maintain my company balances everything.
And let me tell you, am I dexterous and a hell of an arm on this boy.
All in when it comes to BR one infinite, there, there are NFTs involved.
We have characters and we have weapons.
If you are playing BR one in the free mode, the characters and weapons are aesthetic, but
if you're playing in the paid mode, they're really important.
Every character and a weapon comes with an earnings bonus.
They could be between 1% to 10% and they stack.
So if you have a character and a handful of different weapon skins, you could stack the
bonuses that come alongside them.
If you have a 14% earnings bonus, let's say you have a character that gives you a 10% and
four weapons that give you 1% each, a 14% earnings bonus means on every dollar you
make in the game, you make an additional 14 cents.
That is a substantial increase in your ROI for an athlete, for a guy playing the game.
This is really important.
Our core web two users, they're not buying thousand dollar NFTs.
So how do they get these skins?
How do they get these characters?
Well, yes, you could buy them in game, but if you don't have any already, when you go to
play the paid game mode, we actually charge that user a couple extra pennies on their spawn
and we rent one for him.
And guys like you who own these characters and weapon skins, well, you guessed it, you
stake these things in our rental pool and every single time they're used by an external
party, you get a bit of USDC, an active income for the use of the NFTs that you own.
You don't need to play the game to be involved.
You take your characters, you take your weapons, you put them in the rental pool.
Other players use them all day, every day, and you make an income.
Yeah.
And well, you're kind of seeing this with, um, with codas.
So codas in the Yuga ecosystem, there's, you know, a lot of spaces where they talk about
renting these assets and it's like a lot of money.
Like, like even codas are going for like 5,000 a month or something like that.
Well, the difference is this is an automatic rental system.
Nobody's sitting here scrolling through these bad boys being like, oh, I want to rent a gold
one.
I want to rent this, what are the prices?
This is an automatic system where a web two user goes to play and he doesn't even realize
that the character he's playing with was rented and that the person he rented it from is making
an income, which is exciting for those guys here that want to make, you know, participate
a bit more.
You don't have to just rent your items.
You can build a team.
And the way teams work is if you have five or more of our NFTs, you unlock the team page
and on the team page, you can add athletes.
You have up to five slots at the start.
If an athlete associates to your team, you get a percentage of their earnings in the
game and you decide, is it 10%, 20%, 30%?
They see this.
And in return, in return, they get access to all of your NFTs and they could equip them
in game and leverage the earnings bonus.
They make more money in game.
And as a result, you get a percentage of their earnings.
If you're an athlete, you could set yourself as an open agent so team managers could see
that you're up for recruitment.
When you mark yourself as an open agent, people see your total earnings, your KD and everything
in between.
They could invite you to their team or you could apply to join a team by clicking on
their team page.
Teams are a more active way to leverage your Web3 items in BR1 to make a passive income.
Again, you never need to download the game for those core Web3 guys that want to support
us, but don't have a PC, build a team, recruit the best athletes, make money as they play
and maintain a positive kill-death ratio.
And we see users are pulling out thousands of dollars from playing BR1 right now.
Like what are some of your top numbers that you're seeing users bring in?
I mean, are you talking like $500 a month or are you talking, you know?
There are some, our biggest guild, and so I don't like to talk about guilds and scholars.
I like to call them athletes and team managers.
And when you play BR1, you'll notice we don't mention NFTs anywhere.
We don't mention crypto anywhere.
And when you play BR1, it's email, password, download, and type.
It aligns with the expectation of a real gamer.
The biggest team right now in BR1 does about $10,000 a month US.
Holy shit.
Like the team itself.
So how many people are you seeing, like, is there a max amount of people you can put
on your team or in your clan or your guild or whatever you want to call it?
Yeah, so we work with 70-plus gamer guilds.
Morpheus is one of our largest, if not the most successful in our ecosystem, who takes
on a substantial income every single month as a result of their participation in BR1 Infinite.
The way teams work right now is you work directly with us and we help you onboard your scholars.
And associate the NFTs to them.
The new team pages that I described go live later this quarter.
At the start, you only have access to five athletes.
And you could add additional athlete slots by using our token.
Our token launch goes live in March of this year.
So I don't want to reveal too many details, but what I can tell you is the token is well
designed, just like the game is, to have functionality between these different profiles.
If you're a gamer, you use the token in the game.
If you're a game investor, you use the token on our website.
There's different utility, different ebbs and flows based on the user profile that you are.
All right.
Well, Kenny, go ahead.
Yeah.
So Ryan, I love the concept.
I love everything that you're saying.
So me as a traditional Web2 gamer who has over the past couple of years started to dabble
with the Web3 gaming, I realized the barrier.
And that's the big kind of consensus and general idea that there's a barricade between traditional
Web2 gamers and Web3 gamers because of, you know, everything that's involved in being
able to play these games.
Do you see that as a major obstacle of bridging, you know, the traditional Web2 gamers into
games like this right here?
And if so, what do you think needs to be done to kind of break down that barrier?
So I think 100% if a gamer shows up to your website looking to play a game and they go
to register and it says connect your wallet and you're like, you reach into your back right
pocket and your jeans, you pull out your wallet and you're like looking at it and you're looking
at your computer screen, you're like, connect to my wallet.
You're scratching your head and you're just so confused.
That is a terrible fucking experience.
So what we did is we segmented all of that Web3 stuff away.
You register email, password, download and play and you accrue items and you accrue money
in your account.
And these items are NFTs and that money is USDC, but you don't even realize it.
And then finally, if you want to withdraw that money or withdraw those items, you go to the
withdraw screen.
Let's say you're withdrawing funds.
You get a screen and it says you want to withdraw with fiat where you have a 15% fee or do you
want to withdraw with USDC where you have a 0% fee?
Obviously, the user, when they're cashing out $20, prefers $19.99 versus $17.
So he clicks on this USDC option and two clicks later, he set up a Solana wallet.
And once he creates this Solana wallet and he cashes out his USDC, I have this public address.
So I automatically just send them all of the items that they've been accruing.
And now this user, he goes and he opens this wallet he just made to go look at the money
he withdrew.
And what does he see?
All of the items he has in the game also.
And it's just an amazing experience.
And I take Web2 gamers and I make them create their first Web3 transaction.
We like to say we acquire users like a Web2 gaming company and we monetize them like
a Web3 gambling company.
Dijani, what's up, bro?
Dijani, there you got your hand up.
Sorry, sorry.
I was in another app until I came back for some time.
Oh, I just downloaded the game and it sounds everything really impressive.
My question is like, how many engineers do you have on your team?
I guess it's very hard with all the stuff you're providing.
Yeah, you need a lot of stuff to work on the game.
Maybe you mentioned that.
We are a team of about...
I didn't hear it.
Yeah, we're a team of about 20.
Our headquarters is here in Montreal, Quebec.
We have team members that are also distributed internationally, but all in we're a core team
of about 20.
Oh, nice.
So you have a few people who are doing the background with all the database stuff.
I guess it's really huge.
And your casino versus registered, I guess not in Australia, right?
Our game is not a casino, and there is no gambling or probability in the BR1 product.
Yeah, I think you heard you mention...
Yeah, I think you just heard the word casino mentioned earlier on.
Yeah, so we're a skill-based esport, and the big defining factor between winning and losing
is what you bring to the table.
And from a legal compliance standpoint, this is not gambling.
All right.
Yeah, nothing in Web3 is gambling, Johnny.
It's all solid stock with your stock investments.
All right, so let's dig in here, because I'm getting guys in chats.
They're hitting me up, asking where you're at.
All the assets right now, currently on Magic Eden.
I put a few links out there in some of these chats.
You have BR1 ape operatives, BR1 droid operatives, and then you also have the loot crates or the
loot boxes.
So can you give us some insight into these?
And then I think the actual art upgrade or reveal is happening in just a few days.
That is correct.
We started a brand awareness campaign, and that is our art upgrade.
So you'll notice our NFTs are currently unrevealed, and the reveal happens in the next few days.
The reveal involves a full-body animated media, as well as an animated PFP to help people build
community around BR1 infinite.
Here's the alpha drop, boys.
We also have an airdrop happening at the end of the month.
If you hold one BR1 ape and one BR1 droid, we are going to airdrop you the loot crate,
which trades for about five sol right now.
These loot crates are like CSGO-style weapon crates.
They open to reveal our weapon collection.
I very much recommend, if you don't already have one, you're going to want to go grab one
BR1 ape operative and one BR1 droid operative, because it's much more than just that.
After the airdrop, we announce more details about our upcoming token launch and how every NFT
across all the BR1 collections have a claimable token allocation.
That means, for those of you that hold our NFTs, not only will you get the loot crate airdrop,
but you're also going to get a piece of our token.
Yeah, I have some things pinned up there at the top.
I mean, with the NFTs, et cetera, I don't know where I can find it.
Oh, are you talking about with the...
Yeah, on Magic Eden.
Are you in Lizard Lounge?
Because I put both of them in...
I put both of the links in Lizard Lounge.
Yeah, and then just go to Magic Eden, guys, and start typing in BR1, and you'll see all
three pull up.
Exactly.
Just type in BR1, you'll see the loot crates and the operatives as well.
Now, when you go to these loot crates, so can you explain the supply there?
I know we talked about this on a call, but right now there are 500, but you said more...
The loot crate supply is going to go up, right?
The loot crate supply is 5,000, and when we go to Mint, there's an opportunity around
2,500 of them to be airdropped to our existing holders.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, because right now it shows six out of 500 listed on Magic Eden right now.
So, I mean, the supply is, like, really low for anyone to try and...
So, I will say outright, you don't want to...
If you want a loot crate, I would suggest that you either buy it at the Mint or that you wait
for the airdrop, because the ones that you see that are listed right now were the ones
that we provided to our core investors and supporters through a merch box distribution.
We actually handed out a physical NFT that you were able to claim, and that is why you see
six of those listed right now.
Now, are these boxes, are these, like, do these boxes have any use case?
Do they constantly get reloaded, surprise Easter eggs, things like that?
I cannot share the details of the box.
That is what I have said.
But if you have one BR-1 Ape and one BR-1 Droid, you will get the loot box for free.
And BR-1 has a history of rewarding its holders.
If you were with us since the beginning, you would know that when we launched, we did
our Ape distribution, and every person who had an Ape was given one free droid.
Now, if you kept that droid and you have one Ape and one Droid, you get one free loot box.
What comes after that if you're holding the Ape, the Droid, and the loot box who are going
to airdrop you?
Well, you can speculate.
Okay.
So, I'm guessing that goes to token.
So, you definitely need one Ape, one Droid.
That gives you access to getting a loot box dropped to you, not just one or the other,
correct?
That is correct.
Okay.
So, you got to have both assets, which both are reasonably still priced, guys.
So, you make your decisions there on what you want to do.
I know some people are pretty hyped up about it.
They, um, they, uh, they're talking about it up in the chats right here.
Um, all right.
So, when, now, are the droid and the Apes going to reveal at the same time here in a
few days?
They are.
Um, one of them actually already revealed itself, which is pretty interesting.
So, you can go sneak peek.
If you scroll through our collection, you will notice, one, there's less than 3% of the total
supply available.
Our NFTs are incredibly tightly held by, as I mentioned, 70-plus gamer guilds and esports
teams.
These guys are eager to build teams and use our renting functions.
They are long-time supporters.
And if you look at the analytics behind BR1 supply and price, it's reflected there.
All of the NFTs will reveal, um, starting on Sunday and should all reveal by the end
of the week.
Although, there is one that is currently revealed.
It gives you a nice indication of how quality the media is.
If you want to go find it, you can go scroll the marketplace.
Yeah, that's what I'm, I'm scrolling through now and looking.
Um, Ryan, real quick, Chase, can I ask a question?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
I see, yeah, collection size 2,500, only 71 listed.
We're sitting at less than 3% listed.
As the game grows, is there going to be a need to add more operatives or do you think
you'll keep it at 25?
You're asking the right questions, Kenny.
So, originally we released 2,500.
Then we released the next 7,500 and it was done, it's mentioned, through an airdrop.
Everyone who had an Ape, I gave it to Roy.
Right, renting is a big part of BR1.
Web2 gamers do not want to buy NFTs.
Our Apes are currently listed at about 5 sold.
Our Droids are about 1.5 sold.
Even at 1.5 sold for a Web2 gamer, well, one, where the hell are they getting Solana?
You know, let's just start there.
The point is, they play BR1 and they automatically get attributed a character.
And the cost of that character for the rental is a couple of pennies.
It's based on an algorithm.
If the cost of renting ever increases to a point where it's not equitable for the guys
renting them, those Web2 users, we release more operatives.
This dilutes the pool of operatives and, by definition, decreases the rental cost.
You increase supply and there's a supply-demand equilibrium that results in a fair price for
those renters.
The way that we do this dilution, you can guess, we airdrop all of our holders.
So if you own 100 BR1 Apes and you're renting them, making an income, you'd be disappointed
to hear that we just diluted the pool and decreased the rental amount, the rental price that you
were receiving every single time one of these things was rented.
So to make up for it, I airdrop you additional operatives, kind of like a stock split.
And this gives you liquidity while this gives you free money.
At the same time, it decreases the cost of rentals for all of my users.
Yeah, no, that's perfect balance.
I mean, you've clearly thought this through from a realistic standpoint of how to keep
everybody happy within the ecosystem.
Yeah, because I'd be pissed, bro, if supply ran up as I'm trying to rent out my assets,
but then I have no way to make up for that missing liquidity.
And it's a good thing is if the supply is going up, that means the demand is there.
So you're not going to just raise the supply just to raise the supply.
No, that wouldn't make any sense, right?
Yeah.
And right now, you know, Jesus can attest, did I show you the back end when we were on
our call the other day?
Yeah, yeah.
And it was, well, he's like, no screenshots.
And I'm like, all right, maybe he's about to show me some art or something like that.
And then all of a sudden I started seeing all this data and I'm like, whoa, I've only
had one other person do that before.
And that was really interesting to see you do that.
And the numbers were wild.
Yeah, Ryan, he got off, when he got off the phone call with you, he hit me up and was
like, man, that was a great conversation.
So he was very, very impressed with what you were, what you were spilling over there.
Well, the reason I bring it back up is because we have a lot of users and that with 10,000
operatives, the balance makes sense right now.
But we anticipate that over this quarter.
So what I showed Jesus was not only do we have over 100,000 users, but I showed a heat
map and all of my users are not in North America.
We have so much money in user profiles and so many users, and I've never targeted English
speaking North America.
Q1 is all about North America, Canada and the US.
Why this is...
Ryan, I have a very important question for you because it's about to tie into what you're
about to get into, because even as creeps holders, we keep hearing this from our founders
and it's the matter of timing.
How important is timing with what you are doing with BR1 and any other project that's
trying to be successful?
Like, is it really that important?
I do think it is, and I will talk about that.
I just want to say outright that what I showed Jesus is we have all of our users around the
world, but we don't target North America and we haven't done it yet.
And why this is relevant is because with 10,000 NFTs that are available right now, the rentals
going live and our go-to-market, we'll probably have to airdrop our holders, more operatives
very soon.
And I'll let you guys read that however you want to read it.
When it comes to timing, timing is everything.
And for founders out there, guys building things, don't rush.
Slow and steady wins the race.
And I've seen so many companies, both games and other companies, come and go in the time
that we've been building.
You do not want to spend all of your capital.
You want to have a very lean burn.
You want to make sure that everything you're doing, you're executing on with surgical precision.
Think twice.
Act once.
It's not about trying, like, you'll know, like, you really notice the longer you're around,
the longer you're building, that some weeks or some months, some projects are really big.
And then two months later, they're dead and nobody's ever heard of them again.
And the reason that happens is because they spent like 50 Gs in marketing over a two-month
period.
They spent all their money.
They got the hype.
And that's all they got.
And that's not enough.
I have more users in my games than we do have Twitter followers.
I think we have 25,000 Twitter followers, but we have 115,000 gamers in BR1 Infinite alone.
That's a metric.
You want more users than you have Twitter followers.
And for those guys that are concentrating on Twitter growth or selling out mints, that
is not a representation of building.
That is a representation of clout chasing and trying to, you know, get money.
But at some point, you have to integrate some type of social fi aspect to it.
You know what I mean?
Of course.
You know, we do also.
We build a cult, right?
I have a very strong community.
And the way you do that is by building cult, not by doing marketing.
Marketing is you're paying influencers.
Obviously, it helps with cult, but you're paying influencers.
You're paying people to promote what you're doing.
Two trees.
What's up, bro?
The thing is a, oh, yeah, right.
I think cult building is getting people to believe in you.
You know, you don't want people's money.
You want their trust.
And that's what comes first.
Trust, confidence, respect, integrity.
If you build a product, people play it and they experience it.
They know that you're actually doing something.
Most projects just have Twitter followers and speculation.
And, you know, really for us, we concentrated on growth and building first.
And that's why we have all these users.
And now, two years later, am I turning to my Web3 community and trying to build an audience, trying to build brand awareness amongst these Web3 guys.
But only when we are in a position where we could say, we built, we built first.
Two trees.
What's up, bro?
Hey, what's up, guys?
Hey, Ryan, loving everything you're saying.
So, my question for me personally is, all right, let's say I have an NFT community.
There's probably about 50 of us who are, like, Web3 gamers, gamers, esports, all that stuff.
And we are looking into starting our own guild and all that stuff.
What could I do from, like, from, like, step zero to kind of get us going in that direction, working with you guys?
For those of you that want to be an esports team, you want to be a guild, you want to be involved in the BR1 ecosystem in a larger capacity, I would suggest that you connect with our COO, Alex, here in the spaces.
He's one of the speakers.
And Alex works one-on-one with the larger entities trying to penetrate the BR1 space.
He helps gamify your entry.
So, we help you determine what is the best way to acquire these operatives.
Is it sweeping the floor?
Is it OTC deals with some of our existing investors?
We help you acquire the right amount of operatives to address the athlete demand that you have available to you.
And we make the entire process that much more frictionless and streamlined for you.
If you are interested in penetrating the BR1 ecosystem, building a team, or acquiring many of our operatives at an investor level,
please do feel free to slide into my DMs, that of our COO, Alex, or even ping our account directly on Twitter.
All the OTC deals we do are fully transparent.
We advertise them publicly.
There is nothing hidden here.
You could speak to the other teams that we work with.
You could ask them about the ROI that they've experienced in their BR1 history.
All in, it's our pleasure to help people not only enter BR1, but to connect with our network of esports orgs, investors, resource providers, and everything in between to help you achieve on your gaming goals.
I appreciate that.
So here's the thing.
So help me understand this a little bit more.
So there was one time where we entered in a tournament, and it was like last minute, like a few people just had to sign up at the last second.
We went into it, and it goes into the renting of like the NFTs and the weapons in games.
When we entered in that competition, we didn't realize like people had already purchased NFTs and all these things.
So you're saying essentially if we have our team, we enter in our competition, all the weapons that we've like essentially loaded up on, we could disperse those to our teammates through you guys?
Is that what I'm understanding?
Not only can we do exactly what you described, if you leverage the team functions, for those athletes you add to your team, they will automatically have access to your entire inventory of weapons and characters.
So if me as a team manager, I have 100 characters and 100 weapons, and I add 10 athletes to my team, they have access to my entire inventory.
They could equip those.
They can leverage the earnings bonus.
And as described, I get a fixed percentage of their earnings.
Okay.
All right.
I appreciate that, man.
I'm going to go send some messages.
I really appreciate you coming in today.
Thanks, Chiefs, for the time.
I appreciate you.
And please do sign into my DMs and ping our colleague here, Alex.
Alex, if you don't mind, raise your hand or throw a fist so we can see you in the audience.
Yeah, you can open your mic.
We're not going to bite you, Alex.
I think Alex is in another call.
Oh, is he?
Oh, God.
Evan's doing a great job.
I'm always amazed, just like the rest of us.
I appreciate you, colleague.
All in, the reason our floor is the price that it is and why these NFTs are so tightly held, as mentioned, it looks like there's about 2.7% available on the market.
It's because people are so eager to roll out their teams and to gain the opportunity to make a passive income, whether it's through the rental system or through team making.
And, guys, I really do appreciate all of you taking the time to hear the good word of BR1 Infinite.
If you have feedback, positive or negative, I want to hear it.
We are working hard to build our relationships with thought leaders, community members, core gamers, and really everybody who considers himself one of the profiles that I've described to you today.
If you are intrigued about what you heard, I would love to have you in the BR1 ecosystem.
I would love to hop on a call.
And for those of you in the audience, before we close out, do you want to make my life really difficult?
Do you want to take some really deep shots?
Raise your hand and come up here.
Ask me about our anti-cheap.
Ask me about your client.
Hurt me.
That's where I was heading to.
So a lot of people in Web3, because everyone's afraid to click links, everyone's afraid to download anything.
Why are you guys not using a launcher?
Why are you guys not using Steam or anything like that?
Why just have it downloadable when so many people in the space are weary of that?
It's actually a strong question.
For those people that work directly with groups like Epic Games or Steam, they're hinged on those platforms for their user growth.
So if my game was on Epic or Steam and they removed me, well, I would be in a very bad position.
We chose to distribute our title through our own website, with our own launcher.
And there is a certificate from Microsoft and the other relevant parties that demonstrates that our game is not a virus and that it should be trusted.
Otherwise, when you run the game, you would get a firewall warning or something of that regard.
We do have the relevant compliance and certificates that demonstrate that the game is secure.
But all in, we've distributed this game to so many people through our website.
And I am my own publisher.
I did the thing that most games struggle to do.
I distribute my title single-handedly.
And now I can shop around.
I can make better deals with the groups like Epic, like Steam, and a couple of other guys where I don't need to give them a percentage of my revenue because I am not hinged on them for my users.
If anything, instead of me going to them from the start and leveraging their users, they're now leveraging me for mine.
So basically, the safety protocols of having antiviruses, things like that, that's going to protect you from there.
No, no, not antiviruses.
When you build a software, there's a certificate.
You have to get the certificate for your software.
Otherwise, when you run it on the computer, your computer will recognize it as a virus.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I want to point out as well, when it comes to these styles of games, again, people work with Steam and Epic, it's not about anti-cheat and things like that.
When someone downloads your game, especially a 6-gig game like BR1, that costs me money.
As a company, I pay money every time you download my game, any time you update my game.
Epic and Steam pay that cost on behalf of the game studios.
That's a very strong incentive.
That means for 100,000 users, I'm saving $100,000.
That's how they try and motivate you to work with them.
We pay our hosting fees.
We generate revenue.
We have excelled past the indie game studio pain point where you have to rely on these publishers to address these financial burdens as well as these user acquisition burdens.
And that is why our game is getting so much attention from different publishers, but as well gambling entities who see us as a really strong acquisition opportunity.
And you brought this up a minute ago, the cheating.
Like, I know I've played PUBG for many years.
You have people in there with Aimbots and, you know, just different software that's able to take advantage of other players.
What do you guys do to curb that, to stop that?
So there's a three-tiered approach.
You can never stop cheating.
I'm going to say that outright.
You can never stop cheating.
If somebody tries to tell you there's no cheaters in my game, they're a fucking liar.
We did an audit with Unity, shout out Unity, best in the business, and we implement the best available software humanly possible, but that is not enough.
Our second tier is what we call user integrity scoring.
The way that functions is in the back end, we're constantly monitoring user performance, and we give them a future predicted score for different variables.
This could be things like how many kills you get in a game, but it's also the distance that you travel in the game, the damage you commit per second, your IP address, are you using a keyboard or a gamepad?
The point is, as you're playing, we monitor these variables, and if they change and the future predicted score and the actual score are separated by one or two standard deviations, we flag it.
So I'll give you an example.
Let's say usually you travel 300 meters in the game and you travel 6,000 meters.
Let's say usually you commit 200 damage per second, you're committing 600 damage per second.
Your IP is changing.
You switch from a keyboard to a gamepad mid-game.
All of these things are flagged, and based on the amount of flags that a user gets, we may flag their user profile for a low level of integrity.
At the end of a match, if a user's integrity score is beneath a certain threshold, we just nullify those stats.
We know with 95% assurance, not that they're cheating, but that this data is an outlier of the subset, and it has to be evaluated.
One of our staff then goes, evaluates the back-end data, and if the user was cheating, they ban them immediately, and any user that was in those lobbies gets a message.
So the next day, you'll log into the game, and you may not even have known you were playing with a cheater.
But you will log in, and you'll see, hey, cheeses, we've refunded your account $2.50 because you were affected by a fly hack in match 2-1-2-3 at 3-13 Eastern yesterday by user, insert name here, who has been banned permanently.
Have a great day.
So we take responsibility, and I notify you, whether you noticed it or not, I tell you, you experienced a cheater, here is money as a result, and I'm really sorry, and we ban them, and we're working on it.
And this creates a strong relationship with the user and the company and shows a high level of integrity for us as a company.
I didn't invent this method.
It is something that we are inspired by from PokerStars and Chess.com.
Yeah, I've actually seen that happen in PUBG.
Like, even if you don't report someone, I'll be playing for five, six hours, and then within a few hours, you'll get a message saying,
you were killed or this happened in this match.
Obviously, there's nothing to refund or anything like that.
But you do get alerts sometimes within PUBG if there's guys like that.
So that's really good.
But you guys actually refund money, lost funds to people that were involved in a match with hackers or cheaters.
That is correct.
And we also correct the scores, right?
If your KD suffered, we're going to fix your KD.
Oh, wow.
Nice.
Yeah, because KD is the biggest flex out of anything.
Like, when you're playing, is there player cards that show all that, that show your stats?
Like, you can go check people out that you're playing against?
There is player cards.
You could see your all-time stats, and you can see that of other players in the leaderboard.
You could see their total session time, their total earnings.
And on the open agent page that we're rolling out, it's basically like the back of a basketball card, but for that user.
Now, will BR1 ever go mobile?
Is this mobile?
It's all PC right now, right?
You're asking, will BR1 ever go mobile?
And that's the right question.
BR1 Infinite is the game that we have on PC, but BR1 is so much bigger than just this game.
We are building a franchise, and the BR1 universe has very large horizons.
You could anticipate not only PC-based games, but web-based experiences and mobile experiences.
This isn't just a video game, guys.
This is an entire universe.
The BR1 characters themselves have a deeply embedded storyline with rich lore.
I'm so excited to roll out our media content, both our short-form and long-form videos.
BR1's going to be a Netflix original.
You'll see, boys.
Even some of the videos I see on the BR1, the Twitter page, the videos are really good.
The quality is really good, and I can imagine a storyline, some just post-apocalyptic fucking crazy world just looking at some of this stuff.
It is really exciting to see not only BR1, but there's so many brands that are coming out.
How do you stay on top to be number one or to be one of the top game publishers to be putting out this kind of content?
It's got to be very difficult.
You know, there was a period of time when we were first coming up where we were super hot, and relative to the peers that we were being compared against, it was really easy.
And now we find ourselves in a new league where BR1 is, you know, we went from being the most successful game in Web3 and in Solana to, like, now we're in the real game space, you know, trying to compete with guys like PUBG and Call of Duty.
And when you reach this new class, right, this new competitive landscape, it's exciting as hell.
You know, we have calls with some of the coolest and biggest names in all of gaming, and we have interests, and there's awareness, you know, in these large boardrooms of public companies that build the games that we all love, that talk about BR1 Infinite, they talk about our IP, they talk about our game mode, they want a piece of it.
It is fun to compete with the best of the best, and we're big fans of collaboration over competition, but like I said when we started the call, slow and steady wins the race, and we're going to win this race.
Every day, 1% at a time, we improve our game, we improve our community, and we improve on our roadmap, and there is not a single item that we have promised that we have yet to achieve.
There's not a single item that we promised that we have not achieved yet.
We have stuck to our timelines and to our product roadmap to a team.
We never lost sight, we never lost focus, and we're going to continue in that pursuit.
Teamwork makes the dream work, and guys, I'll tell you, I have the best team on the face of the planet.
Yeah, well, clearly your background and your credentials, building a couple different businesses, being the BTC mining and then the gambling, the sport wagering site you built, obviously you're equipped to handle building from the ground up something like this, and it's going extremely successful for you so far.
I have a question in regards to the partnership with Portal, so how did that all come about, and tell us about your excitement partnering with Portal.
Portal is a very intriguing platform who successfully built out this social marketing machine, and I think we're all aware of it.
It is in a similar approach how I target the athlete, the audience member, the content creator, and the game investor.
They looked at it and said, okay, who's in Web3?
You have those guys on Twitter, you have those guys buying the NFTs themselves, we have gamers.
How do we build social functionality that drives engagement and reward between these different classes of participants?
They're just such an astounding team with such a high level of success, and all in, our partnership spawned through strong BD between our team and their team.
They've been a great partner at amplifying both the media that we've been building.
Their goal is to create a frictionless experience to onboard gamers, right?
Just like I described, when you play PR1, we never mention NFTs, we never mention crypto.
We align all the core expectations that a gamer has when he shows up.
Download and play, and have fun.
That's it.
And that's exactly what Portal strives to accomplish, so we're happy to support them.
How are you guys going to, obviously you're going to continue doing what you're doing and improve every day,
but on a platform like Portal, how do you make yourself stand out above the rest?
Well, if you look at Portal, it's all top-tier titles, right?
Star Atlas, Shrapnel.
It's not about standing out.
At a certain point, the goal of working with Portal is to offer opportunities where gamers can be onboarded without friction, right?
That's the dream here.
It's how can we get more people involved in a meaningful way?
I am my own publisher.
I'm not reliant on Portal.
I'm not reliant on Magic Eden.
I'm not reliant on Epic or Scheme.
Or any game launcher.
Or, you know, advertising gateway to get users.
We get users the real way.
We throw our game in their face.
We get them testing it.
We go to in-person events.
We create YouTube pre-reels.
So it's not necessarily always about standing out as opposed to working together to deliver something meaningful for gamers.
And I think that's really the core intention of Portal.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I definitely agree.
I mean, the socialify aspect and just getting, if they are successful with onboarding millions of gamers, it's going to bring so many more eyes to BR1 and all these other games that are on the platform.
Have you, in the team, kind of looked at potential numbers increasing and how this could affect your NFTs?
Because, like, if these numbers do hit and Portal is launched successfully and everything just blows up, I mean, because you're going to see millions of people coming in through streamers, through the socialify aspect.
And they're going to see BR1 and be like, oh, fuck, I can make money playing this game.
Like, I mean, I think it's going to be massive.
Yeah.
Like, you know, if guys throw up and they start using Portal, they're discovering different games.
My game does stand out.
I own pay to spawn, kill to earn.
We are the only game in the world that does this, especially leveraging real U.S. dollars.
And it's a tangible goal.
It is a tangible opportunity for the gamer.
And, you know, once you discover it, you're likely going to stay.
I remember being young.
I remember, you know, being super excited to generate a passive income through Bitcoin mining.
God damn, do I wish that I was able to make the amount of money that my users make today from playing games like RuneScape and World of Warcraft.
I'm so jealous, you know, that they get to grow up into this.
I say it all the time.
I am so jealous that new age gamers get to grow up in a world of the games that we are building.
Yeah.
I mean, it's already putting eyes on it because when in Portal's tweet yesterday and they're talking about the wallet and the technology behind it, the very first asset that is shown on this wallet where they talk about moving assets is a BR1-8.
It's the very first thing on the tweet, in the video.
And then they scroll through other assets that are within the wallet and you see the droid.
You see, like, just different aspects from BR1.
So, you know, and there's people that are in chats right now that were telling me earlier, they were like, oh, shit, I didn't know it was actually BR1 from the Portal announcement.
So, you know, I look forward to not only playing BR1, but also all the other games, you know, that's going to be coming up through Portal.
I know a lot of creeps holders in here were just, they were definitely curious how that onboarding process went.
I've had several founders of games come at me and say, hey, can you get an intro to Portal?
Can you do this?
Like, so there's going to be so many other games that are going to be trying to get onboarded onto the platform.
And I think you guys made a pretty good move by jumping on as quickly as you have.
And I think, in my personal opinion, Brian, genius move dubbing the pay to spawn terminology.
Because that, to me, when I saw it, it was so intriguing.
And I was like, pay to spawn.
This is something that no one has said.
I haven't seen this terminology used before.
And the idea behind it of, you know, paying to spawn into this world, first-person shooter, go around, shoot people, collect money.
I love the idea.
I think it's going to be super, super successful.
So, kudos to you, man.
I appreciate it, dude.
You know, and I got to give credit where credit's due.
It's fucking Texas holding poker, right?
You're amping up to play.
It is the exact same concept.
You ante up to play.
The casino takes a percentage of earnings from the winner's pot.
And we implemented this in a much more frictionless way, in a setting that makes sense for the user, is exciting, and most importantly, isn't gambling.
How high up can you go?
Because I see this tweet that you retweeted.
Pretty high up.
Well, I see somebody as easy as two kills, 20 cents.
So, like, is 10 the highest you can go, or is there?
There's a 10-cent game mode and a $1 game mode.
Those are the ones that we have live right now.
There's also private lobbies where you choose your risk mode, you choose your rules, and you play with your friends.
And as we roll out our North American go-to-market, so I showed Jesus, there's about 60, 70 Gs in funds amongst user profiles.
This is from our South American user base.
When we roll out our North American launch, we anticipate the biggest game modes will be the $1 and the $5 game modes.
And we anticipate a 10x in user funds on the platform.
Bro, my KD on PUBG is, like, 8.3.
So, you're telling me that we can go in there and, Kenny, $10 a round, bro, $10 a kill.
All right, anybody that wants to go, let's go.
We're going to get some private rooms set up.
Yeah, I'll take your money.
Bullshit.
I'm coming after you.
That's exciting.
And when do we expect to see the U.S. rollout?
Like, that's obviously starting now.
Is it just going to be a constant push for the next year, two years, just pounding on it?
Or do you guys have...
Yeah, Q1 is, like, the real start of it.
And we're doing this art upgrade.
And just to reiterate for everyone here, the art upgrade is a brand awareness campaign.
I want more people to know about BR1 Infinite.
We have all of these users.
I want to capture the hearts of my core Web3 audience now.
After the art upgrade comes the airdrop and mint.
The mint is our BR1 Loot Crate.
The airdrop is the same loot crate.
If you own one ape and one droid, you get it airdrop to you.
When you go to claim that airdrop on our website, you will learn about the claimable token allocation for each one of your NFTs.
This information goes live towards the end of the month when the airdrop happens.
It's from that moment on that we begin our North American go-to-market alongside our TGE in March.
So you can really anticipate the efforts going much harder come March.
I had my mic muted.
Is there anything else as far as the token?
Because I know everybody's farming.
Everybody's doing all kinds of shit right now to try and get tokens, tokens, tokens.
That's one of the biggest attractors to any brand, any project that's out right now.
Is there any more you can talk on the upcoming token event?
I can.
We took notes from the best guys in the business, guys like Portal.
And when it comes to our token, there are many ways that you can gain exposure.
Yes, we are doing a token presale.
But if you want to earn the token, you could play the game.
You could interact with our core Web3 functions.
That means our website, stake your operatives.
You could engage with our socials or you could own our NFTs.
We are constantly monitoring right now who are our NFT owners, what are their buying and selling behavior,
who is engaging with our socials and in what capacity, who is playing the game and in what frequency,
and who is referring people.
It's as a product of these different behaviors that users can aggregate the largest allocation that they can.
Right?
We don't want to play all of our cards at once.
But I do believe I have already said too much.
And what I can promise you is we have, you could call it a deck, but it's more of a presentation.
And it highlights the upcoming mint and airdrop and as well gives a lot of hints and alpha drops about the upcoming TGE.
And if you really zoom into the UIs and you zoom into the slides and you find the hints and the secrets that are scattered around it,
you will determine how to make the most money humanly possible through your participation.
Yeah, I mean, participate.
That's the only way you're going to make money is participation.
So you got to work for your bags, kill for your bags.
Right, Kenny?
I'm going to be taking all your money.
It depends on the profile, right?
If you're an athlete, you play.
If you're an audience member, you watch.
If you're a content creator, you engage and create.
And if you're a Web3 investor, you invest.
We designed behaviors for each type of profile that will enable them to earn token allocation leading up to the TGE.
Interact with our socials, guys.
Engage.
Play the game if you can.
And most definitely, own our NFTs.
Yeah, we're going to, I was going to try and give one away today.
Not doing that.
But we are going to be doing some whitelist, huh?
Yeah, we, I'm happy to tell you right now, I would love to give your community a free mint.
And I would love for you to raffle it off however you see fit amongst your community.
And come around our mint date.
That'll be one extra loot crate for somebody who is a firm believer, an audience member of NFT Cheese's, host of the reality check.
Nice.
Yeah, I'm working with, I'm working with the head of business development for BR1 Infinite.
We're trying to get something together for you guys.
So, like I told you last week, the more you interact with the space, the more you are doing things while we're in these spaces.
Retweeting the rooms, you know, trying to share what we're sharing with you and bringing you great projects like BR1 Infinite that, you know, we want you guys to win right along with us.
And, you know, we're going to keep doing this nonstop.
So, Ryan, I greatly appreciate that.
I'm definitely going to get something out by hopefully the end of the day to where we can get a lucky creep, the opportunity to jump into BR1 with this upcoming mint.
When is the actual mint date?
The actual mint date takes place in early February, likely the first week of February, but don't hold me to that.
We do have some items that may determine if the date is earlier in February or later that week of February.
Nice.
And that's going to be obviously on Magic Eden, right?
Like it's going to be a soul-based NFT again, right?
Is everything through BR1 always going to be on Solana?
Well, for us, we're fairly chain agnostic.
The NFTs that we deliver, the BR1 apes and droids, we're on and are on Solana.
And there is a world where NFTs can exist on other chains and across chains.
I don't want to say too much on the topic right now as we still hash things out with our tech team and our various partners, but there is a world of opportunity.
And BR1 is a game first, not a chain.
Nice.
Yeah, I mean, and that's also going to be crucial with working with Portal.
I'm excited to see all these different things that come out because, you know, I'm imagining a world where you're going to be able to host your mint through that possibly.
And then it just like, I don't know, bro.
My brain explodes because of where we're going.
And I don't know, we're going to talk about this next week with Yodelab.
So, Ryan, you guys are invited back on here next Friday as well.
But like getting rid of the whole Web 2 to Web 3 gaming and just not having gaming as a core word instead of, you know, using this Web 2 to Web 3 crap.
I think gaming is gaming.
So, whether you're doing it, you know, on-chain or off-chain.
So, you know, definitely being chain agnostic is very, you know, very crucial moving forward.
It's not about the chain.
It's not about the crypto.
It's not even about the bags, boys.
It's about the friends you make along the way.
My name is Ryan Ever, and I'm the CEO and co-founder here at Bravo Ready, the parent company behind BR1 Infinite.
It has been an absolute pleasure speaking with all of you.
This is the Reality Check, hosted by the one and only Jesus.
The future of gaming is now, boys.
See you there.
Nice.
Kenny, you got any last-minute questions?
Anything?
Two trees to Johnny?
Last-minute words for Ryan, man.
It's been an absolute pleasure to hear, you know, from one of the bright minds really innovating and pushing Web 3 gaming into the next phase.
Because I'm a true believer in, you know, Web 3 gaming, you know, being the new norm of gaming.
And, you know, just to be able to hear from the bright minds of the people building from the ground up, the ideas, the backstories of how they got here and how they're developing their games.
It's always a pleasure.
I love learning, and it's been an absolute blast hearing everything you've had to tell us today and really rooting for you guys.
Excited to see where this goes, and you'll be seeing me more often.
Hopefully, we'll be able to game together.
I can shoot you a couple times and steal a couple bucks.
So, we'll see how that goes.
Friends in the spaces, enemies in the game.
Nice.
I'll tell you what, I usually participate a lot more.
I'm kind of slammed at work today, but I've been listening, and I like everything I'm hearing.
I'm super, super interested in trying this game out.
Not going to lie, I'm probably going to be in this server at some point trying to blast some MFers away for a buck.
Yeah.
Well, somebody told me that I got to pick my, I am a mobile gaming fanatic.
But when I get on PC, bro, it's like I go just full dummy mode.
I'm licking Windows over here.
So, it's going to be interesting to see.
Listening to you fail miserably at PUBG on PC after two years of you talking shit about your KD on PUBG was one of my favorite Web3 experiences.
I'm not going to lie.
Oh, whatever.
It is what it is.
Because, you know, we're not going to go there.
Ryan, I appreciate you coming in.
I will hopefully talk to you again on next Friday when we have another portal partner in Yoda Labs.
And we're going to have several other portal partners, hopefully, joining us on that stage to talk about Web2 and Web3 gaming, how to bridge that gap, and go from there.
Guys, if you are not following BR1 Infinite, if you're not following Ryan, if you're not having notifications on, you will miss out on upcoming opportunities.
Please go check out what they're building.
Check out what they're doing.
And it's going to be important for you to do that as well for an upcoming whitelist opportunity that we will have hopefully out today or tomorrow.
But other than that, I think that is that.
Kyle, I'm going to pay you some homage with a song that you had wanted not long ago on the way up out of here.
Because everybody doesn't like your music anyways.
Oh, shit.
This is shit.
If any of you guys have never heard of Deadsy, this is a Deadsy remake, which is like a dark metal band of Tom Sawyer.
Yeah.
Hey, well, hold on.
Do we have anything from, before I shut this down, is there anything from Portal?
Not until approximately 45 seconds after you shut this down.
Wait until I shut it down?
Ah, assholes, man.
Yeah.
This song's growing on me.
Let me go to Somo real quick.
I'm checking Twitter pages real quick because you know shit ain't going to drop until after this is over anyway.
Thank you, Kyle.
Kyle, maybe you throw up a space right after this, and then we'll get something going on.
I'm going to work him after.
Catch me on Monday.
Maybe I'll get Joe in there.
Yeah.
No, I know.
Also have some other spaces coming up as well.
Monday, we're going to be back on with the Painfully Bullish guys.
Thrive hit me up.
We're going to do something Monday at 8.30 over there and most likely end up doing a creeps and coffee throughout the weekend and kind of chill out, vibe out, do whatever, talk about whatever.
But anyways, until then, see you this weekend.
But Reality Check will be back on Monday.
Go Texans!
Fuck off, bro.
Go Cowboys.
Go Cowboys!
Go Cowboys!

Cast the witness, cast the wind
Cast the spirit, cast the spin
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as the sky's all white
Exit the world
Today's time's story
You can tie on you
And the energy you trade
You can tie on to the friction of the day

Everybody take it all
