with friends now being an ama we'll do our best to answer as many of your questions as we can i would
like to remind our listeners to please dm me or tag me with your questions throughout the week it
makes it easier for me to consolidate your questions in advance and seek answers to some
of the more difficult technical questions now this week i'm excited to announce we have two new guests
on our show today we're joined by robin who handles marketing business development and community
management and we're also joined by mo who handles technical development and business development
for kishu inu now before i chat with them i'm going to cruise through our weekly update report
afterwards we'll talk with robin and mo and then we'll follow up with ama questions our listeners
may have now if you are interested in lending your voice to this podcast and are feeling up to asking
us a question live you're more than welcome to click the microphone icon in the lower left hand uh u ui for
twitter spaces as well as the raise your hand icon in the twitter spaces use ui so um as always though
feel free if you're shy you can always ask your questions via text either through twitter or in our
official telegram channel and again we'll try to get to as many of your questions as we can so let's
quickly jump in to our weekly update report um so as you are all aware i'm sure we have uh new
tokenomics that were just voted on and approved by our community um so we have a very detailed article
um on our medium introducing the new rubik tokenomics the way forward uh we'll have links to that that
you guys can can check out um but anyways the new rbc token it will be created on ethereum as an erc 20.
um we've already performed a test snapshot um and the actual snapshot is going to be happening on
december 12th we're going to be communicating with our community uh throughout this entire process so you are
all aware of exactly what's happening and where you need to have your tokens for this snapshot um
now for the centralized exchanges gate.io probit and mexc um you should be able to get tokens airdropped
even if you do keep them on that centralized exchange um as of right now that is the case
if anything changes we'll let you know um not sure yet about uh kraken so we'll we'll definitely be
keeping our community um informed uh you know a lot over the weekend as we lead up to that snapshot
so um now if you are staking any rbc um and and you have rewards that haven't been claimed yet those
will be automatically included in the snapshot so you don't need to worry about uh doing anything else
if that's the case um you'll be able to claim this new rbc at a ratio of one to one to the old rbc
um and the claim will be open for for several several days after the snapshot is taken so um you know
we'll be pretty leaning with that and and again we'll communicate with our uh community all of the
details pertaining to this snapshot and subsequent token airdrop for the new tokenomics um the test
snap test snapshot happened at 4 pm utc today um so really about nine minutes ago um and so we'll
you know have information on that um we're going to ask that our community members check their wallets
make sure they're included in that test snapshot um and if it is then you are good to go if there are
any issues please reach out to our support team we're going to be working intimately with all of our users
and investors to make sure that they are included in this snapshot um so let's jump right into
development so we have an update to our ui for uh the blockchain list so now that we've included so
many blockchains into the rubik ecosystem um we needed to expand that drop down list uh that we have
to accommodate all the additional blockchains so we actually have a screenshot of that there in
the uh weekly update report um the the token list will appear when you click on the blockchain you'd
like to choose but in the meantime it'll just show you all the different blockchains uh at first so
super cool kudos to the team always improving the ui and we always again appreciate feedback from our
community letting us know um what you like what you don't like because that all factors into the evolution
and uh you know product development of rubik all right moving on from there we have uh an integration
of xy finance so we are thrilled that a new cross-chain provider is going to be joining the rubik ecosystem
they aggregate other dexes and bridges and they will assist rubik's smart routing feature to provide
the best rates and top speeds for all cross-chain transactions um so this will enable both veterans and
new users to explore more cross-chain opportunities between these supported chains um the xy finance
operates as a provider for the cross-chain trades and it will uh start with seven networks for rubik so
they'll be b and b chain polygon phantom avalanche optimism moon river and ethereum um so we're very
excited to see what they can offer to the rubik platform um it's going to be uh you know again in increased
routing um with with minimum minimized rates um and then also you know just increase the speed in
which we're able to find people the best value and the best rates when swapping their tokens between
networks so um you know big congrats to the guys over at xy finance and welcome welcome to the party
um all right we also have an announcement for on ramper integration so soon we'll be adding the fiat
on-ramp feature directly into the rubik app so this feature will enable fast and easy swaps of your fiat
to numerous crypto assets the fiat on-ramp feature will be implemented through the integration of on
ramper into rubik currently our dev team is enhancing the ui ux and integration will be completed soon we
actually have a screenshot there of a sample of what that's going to look like um moving on from there
we have additional upcoming integrations so our dev team right now is also working on the integration
of curve for on-chain provider swaps so um they are also working on um the new token we have proposals
uh again in the the new tokenomics for additional utility for the rbc token um and that's something that
the team is actively working on right now um and then they're going to continue researching new
blockchains and providers for future integration um and soon we'll begin the native integration of
open ocean to rubik so again just the dev team is firing on all cylinders right now uh there's a lot of
projects out there that are dialing back in terms of development and it's like we're ramping up there's
a lot to build there's a lot to do and our developers are up to the task so um kudos to our dev team for
working so hard they continue to burn the midnight oil and they're going to need a holiday break here
pretty soon i'm sure um all right moving on to marketing and product development so we have the
the sdk right and now we are improving that sdk it's going to be like an umbrella of sorts like a tech
umbrella for web3 so with the upgrade to the sdk we're going to be expanding beyond just cross-chain
swaps we'll be aggregating everything from signals and oracles to nft bridges and smart contract
executions all available as easy to use templates uh just you know cause like plug and play basically
for for businesses depending on what it is you're doing um to be able to immediately give web3
functionality to your applications um on top of that we're going to be adding new blockchains indexes of
course um and and bridge systems um but with this new sdk uh dap developers they they won't have to
search for you know very esoteric service providers that um you know they have to constantly keep up
with um you know farming and and lending and all that stuff will have turnkey solutions for wallets um
and and just different cross-chain protocols these are all just examples of what our sdk will be able to
aggravate and we'll be able to do so in the new updated roadmap um we're closing out the year with
additional bridge and aggregator integrations right we've had that going for the last few months now
um and then to kick off the new year q1 23 we're going to have uh some more nft bridges that we'll be
adding to the platform um as well as signal providers and then in q2 of 23 we're going to be adding oracles
and then smart contract execution cross chains so um again there is a ton of of upcoming stuff in the
dev pipeline um we're very very excited about it again a lot of the the people out there that are
making applications uh for web 2 don't want to take the time to to either uh you know sit down and learn
all the minutiae of web 3 or uh they don't want to hire a bunch of new people who already do so we're
offering this kind of turnkey solution for applications to be able to operate within a
web 3 environment it's super cool we're very very very excited about that um and you know right now
like we we mentioned it last week uh let me pull this up real quick um of the current dApps on the market
there's 2105 live dApps as of right now we have captured six percent of those dApps at the moment
we are looking to bring that number up to at least 25 percent over the course of 2023 but the goal
is 50 of the industry to be utilizing rubix sdk to facilitate web 3 functionality on the back end
that way projects can focus on their projects and not have to worry about all this other stuff going
on behind the scenes we're trying to remove the complexity from businesses being able to operate
in this new web 3 environment so super cool stuff kudos to the team on all their hard work
moving on from there i'd like to mention that we i'm sure some of you have seen it in some some
recent marketing elements uh we have a new logo and a new visual styling that we are bringing to rubik
so our team's been working on it for some time um we're going to share all of it with our community
uh in full next week uh together with a new update to the website um and in the the weekly report you'll
be able to see a sneak preview of the new logo rubik is transparent with our community and we appreciate
the trust between us and our community that's why we decided to emphasize uh that trust and transparency
with our new logo keeping the green cube as our major asset i'd also like to announce um we are doing
an exclusive nft giveaway partnering with kishu inu um this will start on december 12th and will last for
one week during which time every participant that completes all the steps will be able to get this nft
prize uh so to be able and eligible to to uh get this nft you'll need to perform a swap from
any network to any token on any other network at kishu x dot kishu dot com and then you'll need to
subscribe to uh kishu inu's twitter as well as rubik's twitter and then prove your swap with a
screenshot on twitter and then like and quote the tweet announcement post from rubik doing all of this
will uh qualify you to receive this rubik uh kishu inu nft at galaxy so we'll uh we'll definitely have more
news for you guys as we approach uh december 12th and kick off that giveaway and then we also have
some new sdk integrations uh dion protocol is an energy sector token that strives to power the crypto
revolution with renewable energy they are a future l1 chain democratizing green energy
dion has integrated the rubik sdk on their very own bridge and rubik will play a big part in the
complete uh in their their process of migrating people over to their chain um throughout the
course of 2023 um and then of course i'd like to announce a new integrator is also kishu inu they
are a decentralized transactional network with a community focus meaning that all the decisions
are made by the community now their project aims to bring next generation concepts into the mainstream
like non-fungible tokens decentralized finance and participation rewards you can purchase kishu
directly at kishu inu swap and we have a screenshot there of the integration of um our sdk into kishu
inu um and i'm i think everything is is up and running uh flawlessly right now so um and and we'll get
uh we'll talk to our guests in just a second about that whole process and what they think of it
um and then uh last but not least we have a new widget integration uh kyoto swap they are um one of
the newest projects that that are now part of the rubik ecosystem they are a decentralized exchange for
people who want to help make positive change their mission is to harness d5 to benefit people and the
environment and we have a screenshot as well of that integration of our widget on their website and then
the last thing in the weekly update report is just a brief uh hit on the ama today um having our guests
on from kishu inu all right they are a rising dex uh that is making waves in the space they have a huge
community following uh let's welcome our new guests um they work at kishu inu wearing many hats each like
with any young crypto startup um please welcome robin and mo thank you guys so much for joining us
today hey thank you thank you colin thank you for the introduction and uh um everything you just
talked about uh kishu uh we're very delighted to be here and uh thank you for uh bringing here and uh
getting us on this space so we can meet your community and vice versa thank you absolutely absolutely
thank you for being here um mo are you there yeah man thank you so much for having us uh the way you
explained everything and that's spot on and good job on on all these news that you just called out
and thank you let's see how it goes but it's looking like it's gonna be really good good job
yeah awesome so uh but to to give our community an idea of um you know what you guys are working on
who who you are i think is probably the best place to start so who are you and where are you
right i'll go first so um i'm from london and i've been in the space for a long time
discovered kishu a month after its launch uh we all know about the meme hype and
you know the new sector coming into the crypto space in early 2021 and um yeah so you know there's
there's been it's been a like i don't want to keep it long but um you know my journey here in crypto
has been you know many many years and um we've all had ups and downs and everything and i've always
wanted to learn more uh be part of projects um help projects out especially when it comes to meme coin
where it's like community driven projects so this is why it got my interest and i thought
um you know when i discovered kishu uh spoke to the developers all the teams the admins and everything
and i didn't make a bad decision because a lot of things that we have done here uh compared to all
these other tokens who don't even exist anymore uh a lot of them have disappeared it just shows the
strength and you know i picked the right project as well to be part of uh the community so that's
everything from my side uh mo if you could uh just yeah i'm also uh new or actually new to the
crypto space just to give you a small background of myself i'm from syria but i live in dubai
actually my background is more into architectural interior design stuff but like things happened then
i had to look for other ways then you know i became in crypto i started investing then i saw kishu
basically and then i started getting involved in the community and step by step i reached into a
certain level uh i became a team team member and also at that time i was learning some technical and
stuff trying to learn some programming coding and i reached into a point i'm not bad enough i'm just
not good enough let's say uh in this uh type of field and uh it's been almost i think two years next
april it's gonna be two years for me in kishu you know and basically my stuff is is trying to to push
as much as new updates new apis new apps the apps as much as we can to to keep kishu getting evolved
every time and uh yeah this is my my section of work basically in kishu awesome well thank you guys for
for joining us this is a uh this is a global audience today for sure um and and yeah i mean
it sounds like you guys are working on a ton of different stuff over there right now and that's
that's really refreshing because you know going into this bear market um you see on github the
amount of commits that people are are pushing and and and you see development drop off in april of 2022
um and that really is kind of like the differentiating factor between the players and
the pretenders those who were here just for a cash grab and those who are here to actually build
something and make a name for themselves in the industry um and you know any projects that are still
right now in december of 22 uh building hard and and interacting with their community and you know
looking forward to 2023 as an opportunity those are the the the projects that are going to succeed
so um it's refreshing that you guys uh sounds like you guys picked a horse that's gonna stay in the
race um so to say so uh good on you um robin i'm actually interested to you say you've been in the
industry for a long time uh what i mean that can that that means different things to a lot of different
people a long time in crypto can sometimes be four or five years are you an og do you go all the way
back to 2012 or sooner uh 2013 2013 nice nice so you you you uh did you didn't buy it uh bitcoin at the
top when it was like over a thousand right did you buy after mount gox um i was there during
mount gox and everything i found bitcoin at 300 400 500 and then um you know in the bear market 2014
it dipped so you know there was uh times where we got it for cheaper but you you know how it is
at that time no one knew what's gonna happen so you know when we were buying bitcoins you know
thousands of bitcoins uh per transactions you know uh by getting profit from other coins when you're
switching it around you're you know when you get a 2x and 3x and you know you think you killed it
you know and then many years later you think what have i done but um yeah same with ethereum like
with ethereum i got uh bought ethereum at like 41 cent uh and i had over 100 000 of them but oh wow
so you bought you bought what october of uh of 15 then when it was like in it in like the the super low dip
yes yes at that time so i was good on you there wasn't much coins as we were going into the market i
remember i was trading at the time it was about 92 coins that's all there was in the market and then
slowly slowly coins start appearing but it wasn't as like how how we get it these days but after 2016
halvening uh and then ethereum start you know popping out all these coins this is when it went all
messy you know like there was hundreds and thousands of coins you know coming from you know
all angles but it was topping up around then i think between 1700 to 2000 coins now we have like
22 000 coins i think plus yeah yeah it's been a journey um i've had some good times and stuff like
that but yeah i've witnessed all three uh bull run you can say but my mate when i when he first discovered
he did tell me in 2011 but the problem was he didn't explain it to me properly that's why i came
two years later but if i did at the time i'd be probably one of the earlier uh bitcoin holders and
you know i'd be probably mining so much but um yeah you know um yeah other than that yeah the
journey's been great and everything like i said i've seen all these new uh asset class coming uh and
you know falling into the crypto space from 2013 you know back in the days we had protocols and all
these kind of new stuff and then we had nfts which came out in 2017 but people discovered it last year
there was loads of things that come out before but they didn't get demand and all that kind of stuff but
some of those uh coins they already had those stuff back them days you know what i mean the
thing what we were waiting for is the crypto space to go bigger so people can adopt it so that was you
know uh the difference back then now is you know the game's completely changed but back then you know
some of us got lucky with holding those coins early but there is a thing like you know i've always been
like this here with kishu as well is whenever like me personally i invest i don't look for like you
know i invest on monday and i take cash on sunday i've always been a long-term trader and this is
because before i came into crypto i was in the stock market for another five years so i've always been
trading um but the difference was when i came into crypto i wasn't so good in the first few years
you know i'll be honest with you because the volatility and you know just the way it was operating
it was so different to the stock market but yeah you know eventually i got hang of it and i was
doing lots of research and everything i was spending 18 hours a day uh for almost uh just over a year
18 hours a day just to learn about everything you know and i think that helped me a lot
yeah i feel like that first um that first dive in it's like it you get almost overwhelmed with
about like the amount of information especially trying to jump in today um but you know for for some
people and it sounds like you're like me in that regard uh it's it's fascinating you get addicted
to it you want to learn more you want to learn as much as you possibly can and then you're putting in
18 20 hour days focusing on it um yeah i when i when i was like getting into it in earnest back in 2016
it was you know i was sleeping like three hours a day sometimes just because you know i was working but
then i would spend eight to ten plus hours outside of work uh learning as much as i possibly could
about you know how to how to how to do charting and you know who's doing what and what kind of
technology exists and what's the difference between an erc 20 and an erc 721 and all that kind of stuff
right like it was um a very very fascinating dive and and i'm i'm very similar to you i almost jumped in
way back then i almost jumped in in 2011 uh when bitcoin was under two dollars but
uh i didn't pull the trigger i had like enough people around me that told me that i was just
going to be i might as well light money on fire right exactly and you know and and and hindsight's
20 20 but uh no regrets it gets you to where you are today and um it sounds like you've you've done
pretty well for yourself over the years so uh kudos to you with your your crypto journey you are uh
at 2013 i would consider you uh an og thank you man um yeah it's been all right um but like i said
like you know for you as well and for mo all of us you know um i'd say personally i know uh you know
bitcoin was created 2008 and you know it got its momentum 11 12 13 onwards but you know in my opinion and i'm
sure all of you guys will agree here uh it's not late we're still early in everything it's really
tiny the market um i think you know cryptocurrency is an asset class where it should be in my opinion
no financial advice into like 50 60 trillion and i and i believe this is going to happen in coming
years you know i'm not saying a year or two years and stuff so it's like saying a lot of people might
be in regrets now saying oh you know i missed the boat and stuff like that but then come 10 years later
you're going to realize like man i was really early so don't you know look back just look ahead
and what you've got now uh look for the right projects do your research and you know if you like
them add them to your portfolio never look back look forward absolutely that's that's fantastic advice
for both uh uh you know new beginners amateurs and and veterans alike so uh thank you for that that
little piece of wisdom there for all our listeners today and you know i i say that routinely on uh
this podcast is if you're listening to this right now especially if you're like listening to this live
you're taking time out of your day to to be here and to participate and listen to us talk about all this
stuff you are early like you're very early you are so far ahead of the rest of the general public
um you know that that yeah i think i think you're right i think 60 trillion plus is as actually a kind
of a conservative estimate if we're looking at a bigger time frame if you're looking at like the
year 2040 or 2050 it may be in the hundreds of trillions because i think anything that can be tokenized
will be tokenized um and in real estate and in physical assets will be a big part of that um
um definitely i agree i agree with that you know like we we know the blockchain where it's heading
and like you said about uh real estate uh let's say about data identity loads of things you know
our passports driving license so many things it's going to be like you know blockchain itself is you
know a new discovery you can say it's been around for i don't know 10 years or probably slightly longer
but the way the world is getting digitalized it's like it's blockchain or nothing so you know i agree with
you as well in the near future 2040 and stuff it'll be hundreds of trillions it's just it's a no-brainer
but it's just you know can people be patient or do people do their research and find the right asset
to get there that's all it takes man just a bit of research and you know we'll all get there together
hopefully yeah absolutely and and it's funny you mention that you know human nature is um uh pretty
predictable and we tend to be pretty impatient beings um i know if i had purchased bitcoin way
back in 2011 for for under two bucks um i would not be holding all of that bitcoin today i definitely
would have gotten impatient and sold it when it hit a thousand dollars i would have sold more when it hit
ten thousand dollars um i would have sold more when it hit fifty thousand dollars you know so uh it's
it's important to look at things like bigger picture like that on on longer time frames um
bigger time scales because yeah we're we're in the midst of a the next major revolution for mankind
and it's the merge of data and finance right and that's it's so fascinating that um you know we get
to be here at like the tip of the spear um developing and building this stuff so could you give us a moment to
explain what you guys are building like what is kishu inu um you know what inspired the creation of it
and and what do you guys have what are you working on right now right uh yeah so kishu as you guys know
was created in april uh 2021 uh from uh two developers uh inudev and kishuman and at that time as you guys
know we all know about shiba shiba uh you know was introduced to the world as a community project
and at the time as well they were thinking to come into the crypto space um and you know um you know
discover the crypto space with tokens and stuff and they wanted it exactly like you know a community
based project and this is how uh they got together and uh they created kishu for all of us to you know
trade and experience all uh the top utilities that we have on the project so it started as a fun
project uh but as you guys know we're approaching almost two years in four months and you can see
how serious meme coins have gone now i'll give you an example uh in 2021 uh early or say uh second
quarter especially second quarter uh there was a thing flying around uh obviously and you know i agreed at
the time there was a lot of shit coins flying around because there were too many flying around
and they're coming and disappearing so people didn't know what's happening because it was kind
of a new asset class that you know kicked in into the market at that time but we passed that stage
because if you look at it now for kishu to uh approach you know almost two years as well as shiba
and other great projects uh in the meme sector also and being and surviving this hard market of 2022
you can see those kind of labels from you know how people used to say shit coins are gone off from
certain projects like kishu uh shiba and a few other coins you know because we have the community
you can be a top 20 project top 30 project it could be in the billions of dollars that's fine but with
meme project the vibe is different because of the power of the community community make or break
the project and we built this uh as you guys know we uh kishu was uh started um last year in april
from april uh until uh around october time those six seven months was mainly pure purely building
community um getting as many people on board by exposure marketing events and we achieved every single
bit of it as well we weren't unsuccessful because after we launched uh pretty much from a two thousand
dollar market cap uh kishu's market cap went to 2.1 billion dollars many of you guys know this um
so a lot of things that we've done at the time um a lot of people at that time were thinking like
these are just you know one-time projects like you know because they're watching the space this is how
it's moving uh but kishu wasn't and we've proved that to the world so we don't get questions like
oh is this uh is this coin dead or is this project just a one-time wonder is this a shit coin or you
know all this kind of stuff is gone is this a scam we've passed that stage you know like people look
at the other coins you know that disappeared and they compare and we shouldn't compare any projects
um like if you're in kishu you focus on kishu you follow kishu kishu's news and you do your own
due diligence and you join our family and our journey but if you experience something else in
another coin i mean coin a is coin a and coin b is coin b and we shouldn't hate on each other we should
kind of unite and take the mean sector to another level so a quick i just want to give a quick update
of 2021 uh was the launch of kishu we've done many many things we went london us and many other
countries even dubai we lit the burj khalifa uh loads of marketing stunt which was a which weren't
cheap at the time we had our ambassador ronaldinho who also joined us for about six months and he
personally came uh from brazil uh to watch the burj khalifa light with kishu logo kishu writing and
himself being on the burj khalifa and we were the one of the only projects doing it then so you can see
like a lot of things kishu's done in 2021 we were always ahead of the game in many ways even if it
was a good high tier exchanges which is now uh gateio at the time we were getting them faster than any
other projects because of demand and how the team was operating and the developers vision to push
forward to get more exposure not just you know in a specific country but throughout the whole world and
we achieved a milestone of this and kishu was recognized over 85 countries from all the
marketing stunts we've done and all our announcements with celebrities we also had marcelo
and other footballers who joined us as well and showed so much love for kishu so this was you know
there's there's so much more i don't want to get into details so if you guys are new here i just want
to say uh welcome to the space thank you very much for joining us um and um if there's anything else
you guys want to know that we probably don't you know mention it here uh if you see on our bio our
telegram link is there and um you can join and ask us question so i quickly want to move colin to 2023
because your question was related to 2023 also of what's coming ahead so in 2023 uh just not long
ago i think it's about two three days ago we had a a live stream um well we had a twitter space which
was live stream on binance live uh we had over 5 000 people so we discussed uh some of the things
that um you know and some of our visions for 2023 so we did talk about like you know you guys know
um like everyone who's been here uh with kishu or if you if you guys joined recently and caught
off with all the news uh we've dropped a lot of explosive announcements partnerships uh throughout
2021 so in 2023 it's just only going to get better our main aim and focus is to take kishu
to the level it's supposed to be at we know right now the market condition is no you know not so good
that even you can see our top 10 projects in the world that they've cut down in market cap
by you know 20x and 30x but that doesn't mean anything because if you guys do your research
and even if you're new in the space if you look at all the bull runs that when there's a bull run you
can see how high an asset can go including bitcoin and when there's bear markets and uh bad stuff or
you know inflation and all that kind of stuff uh around uh you know happening around the world uh
things like that are normal you know uh there are a lot of people thinking oh why is this down why is
this down i mean there's nothing to question here all we need to do is zoom out and if you look at the
whole space and the whole market capitalization and everything you can see that we're in a bear
market so you know market cap doesn't always um you know make a difference guys it's about building
and kishu has this we've always been building and we've always been transparent uh with our community
with on all our spaces even if they ask for a certain thing because end of the day it's a community
project many many months they've been asking for burns and we've always told them look guys you know
whenever we find a sustainable way and stuff like that we will which recently uh we were proud to
announce a partnership with rubik and we have our kishu swap uh with rubik so we announced as well
that the next six months all the fees generated uh from uh the swap uh we we will be doing buyback
and burns and those tokens will be sent directly into the dead wallet so these are some of the features
that uh you know we already have now and the swap is live uh you know two three days ago and you can
see how we are moving into 2023 with those kind of stuff and also we will be announcing certain things
in 2023 which is currently under development uh and i've said it before and i'm gonna say it again
for some people or i'd say you know half of the crypto crypto space uh it will blow your brains off because
of the things that we are applying on the kishu token is not being seen before or even if there is
we're taking another touch to this whatever we're building okay so i can't really give it away but
there's many good things coming also i mentioned recently that we are in talks with high tier exchanges
i've named two um so i don't want you to i don't want you guys to think that is guaranteed gonna get
listed but i am currently speaking to huabi global and kucoin exchange okay so let's see how
uh the market and you know our development side goes and our upcoming partnerships and everything
and when time is right and once we get slightly closer to those type of you know to those exchanges
uh as you guys know we always tell you guys and we're going to announce it uh on our twitter spaces
so i'd say personally um let the market go off down left right it doesn't matter one thing we can
guarantee you guys is regardless the market conditions we're always going to be building
always and you guys seen it throughout 2022 you know there's no questions asked we've done
everything what we needed to do in 2022 and also 2021 so i hope that uh answers your question uh colin
thank you yeah absolutely that fantastic answer and um yeah i i think like our um kind of uh business
ideology uh is very in sync because you know we we realize we don't have control over the overall
market right and the general sentiment surrounding crypto all that we can do is what we can actually
do right the things that we can actually affect and build and the dev team is continually working hard
same thing um there's there's new features constantly being added and um 2023 is going to be
a building year for crypto there's not going to be a lot of media pressure um i mean you're going to see
the the the tired articles of is crypto dead is bitcoin dead you know bitcoin's going to go down to a
hundred dollars and sell everything you know buy buy traditional assets and stuff and you know um
um it's those are those are all tired objections right like the people that say that stuff i've said
don't understand what blockchain tech is what decentralized ledger tech is um and what it means for
the organization and management of data um the the retention of data as like an individual whether you
want to disseminate that or not and if you do decide to partake in kind of that that current
big data um in industry right now um you're going to get financially rewarded for that right if i'm
watching a commercial and you selected me to to watch that commercial based off information from uh my
my web history my cookies and things like that then like yeah i should be i'm the product right i should
be getting some revenue from that um that's the kind of future that's coming and that's what a lot of
these people they don't understand right that that they talk bad about crypto but you know that's
neither here nor there people are going to say what they're going to say um projects like ours are
going to continually build and we see this as an opportunity now um you know a lot of like i said the
pressure is off from a lot of the the media um and and governments around the world are now already
starting to dabble in uh pilot programs for central bank digital currencies which is just going to
accelerate i think and be a huge catalyst for mass adoption when that finally does happen um when when
when you know central banks for respective governments decide they want to start issuing cbdcs out to their
citizens you're going to have millions of people on boarding into crypto on a daily basis at that point in
time and it doesn't matter how ready the industry is uh for that moment um i think it's going to make
our heads spin because there's just going to be a huge massive influx of people and anybody who's still
in the industry at the time who's currently building and provides uh you know a useful service within web
three um is going to succeed tremendously um and so it's refreshing you guys are are are so gung-ho on all
of this and are still building right now because having seen a bull run and cycle already myself as
an investor from the outside looking in you know there's a lot of projects that i saw that were
very promising they they had like a really cool concept it looked like they had like a really good
team um and then the beginning of 2018 hit and then the collapse of bitcoin uh you know all the way
down from from 19 000 something down to uh like 3 000 something um and you just saw project after
project go under uh people didn't have the runway to keep the lights on and people were just kind of
abandoning because they got disheartened they were kind of abandoning their projects even if it wasn't a
financial situation um so yeah it's it's going to be a very very awesome 2023 uh for those of us in the
industry um as an investor from the outside you you may be thinking to yourself oh man this is not uh
this is less than ideal right like i just put in a bunch of money in the market in 21 and 22 and now
my portfolio is less than what it was before but um you know some some legendary investors over the
years have said when there's blood in the streets that's when you buy it right when everything is red
when everyone's selling when everyone has capitulated um that's when you should think about jumping
in and investing in stuff where uh it looks promising it looks like it has a future um and not just like
the concept of the the project or the the product itself but of the people that are involved in it and
the people that are building it are they are they hard workers are they transparent um you know all the
things that that really will make a company succeed um are the employees that are working for that
project or that company so um kudos to you and your team um i see there being a huge huge future between
uh both of us and you know when you guys do have some of those bigger announcements that you'd like to
make um obviously i'm sure you're going to want to make them through your own social media channels
and things like that but i'd love to have you on again as a guest that way you can share uh more with
our community um and and and just really continue to get the word out on on some of these really cool
new things that you guys are being you know building and and and features that you'll be
releasing over the course of this next year yeah definitely i mean um you know especially to your
community i know uh some of them are pretty much new they probably discovered kishu today um and
probably a lot of people uh know about kishu but what we can say about current developments that
uh we've been working well we announced it in dubai expo uh early on this year i think it was march
yeah march 2022 uh we were at the expo and we released uh our so-called hidden project at the
time was called project k and um it was uh our upcoming game um and it's just not a normal game
where you know mean projects come and they spend 20k 50k 100k and they just drop you know like a sonic
the hedgehog graphics i love sonic the hedgehogs by the way no offense but i'm just saying like in this
day and age unless it was designed to be a pixelated game or you know retro game that's different story
but um yeah we have uh our game which is uh the beta launch is going to be releasing very soon
the game is uh the beta launch is completed uh full hundred percent uh we're looking at other stuff
that we want to add and stuff like that uh certain bug checks and all that kind of stuff and the game
is called kishu kingdom and uh mo could give us uh could give you guys some more details uh specific
details about the games and also we have kishu nfts and how they're going to be applied to the game
and all that kind of stuff so mo the stage is yours my brother yeah so basically it all started
in uh i think in january i know it was on november last year when we decided to release
our first official nft uh it was called kishu verse uh so so basically we we were aiming when we
released it that uh it's going to be somewhere it has to have that good utility it can be used somewhere
and from back then we started building the project game basically the kishu kingdom and basically
kishu kingdom is a is a play to earn game uh it's a card battle card style so you just go there you
have your own deck let's say 40 50 cards and you play against someone to to achieve uh certain rewards
you will get coin you get experience and you have to uh evolve evolve uh your your deck your your
potential how to get the extra nft cards how to to try to get as much as you can out of that game
so it's it's basically how is it uh play to earn uh you don't have to pay anything to play it uh you
just go there you start with that with the traditional deck it's there uh while you play
you gain these uh booster bags and these booster bags has potentially nfts that you can trade and or
you can use so it's going to be fully fully plater and not like the other games that has been released
you have to buy certain nft to be able to play it like uh actually infinity or something no you just
go there you download the game uh you you register and that's it you you connect your wallet so you
can get the rewards there and you play you play using uh your your traditional deck and you keep
on evolving as i said so it's going to be more as uh you know a multiplayer or you can play against
your friends you can have tournaments uh let's say later on we have a tournament let's say it's it's
supported by you you will have it and then people 16 people or or let's say uh 32 people play against
each other to reach the end uh to have the last reward so exactly that's that's the way the game
works but how our nfts will be implemented there uh we have certain aspects of the game will be based
on nft projects basically as i said the cards will be from the game itself but let's say kisha verse
kisha verse it's uh it's the nft that i spoke about it's gonna be the pets of the game these pets
will will be if you see it it's very cute in the game it's gonna be standing there and waving and
and having reactions when when you play when someone attacks you it will be shocked or something
it's very cute first of all second of all when you finish the game uh let's say you won it gives
you extra either loot or or uh extra experience or advantage after the game so we are trying also to
keep it fully fully uh fair for everyone so let's say you you are you have a big bag and you can buy as
as much as nfts you want it won't affect your gameplay it will affect the outcome when you finish
so when you win you win more and that's it you don't get uh extra upper hand when you have more
nfts in the game so it's fair to play and play to earn at the same time we're trying to implement
the system and we're trying not to ruin this experience for the gamers because you know you
gotta go there and buy the most expensive thing and affect the gameplay itself so it's a fully fair play
and play to earn system uh also back yeah around two or three months ago we released uh nft project
another one it's called kishu kingdom avatars it was a partnership between us and bybit exchange
we released this uh first of all for exposure second of all this is the token to enter
the early access for the game so uh i think it won't be that far away we will release the beta version
and to access that beta version you need uh this nfts basically you have to connect your wallet and by
then you can just play the game uh so that one is on on bybit and also the kishu first is still
available still mintable you can go to kishu first.kishu.com and it's already there i think
there is a thousand left out of 888 it has multiple rarities as well these charities will affect the
the outcome of the how much uh extra boost you get at the end of the game as well yeah definitely
i just want to quickly touch on the game uh the game side also the nft so uh as you guys heard uh
it's a card game and all these amazing features um and you know there's going to be loads of stuff
going on in the game uh also you guys will see a lot of battles and all this kind of stuff and we will
be uh in 2023 we're also going to be partnering with other projects where you know we can do battling
with them in the kishu kingdom arena or probably also put you know their logos on the stadium and
all that kind of stuff so you know we could be also using similar to a bit like dextools as well
where you can bring um some and generate some funds for kishu to move forward also uh to advertise in
the game and stuff so we are going to be looking into those specific things i've just mentioned now
in 2023 because right now uh you know we are almost uh prepared to launch the beta version
but the official release will be in 2023 where it's going to be available on your apple app store
android and all over the place and it's going to be a fully worldwide release as mo mentioned
the people who's going to be having early access to their beta is only from the collection mo mentioned
kishu kingdom by bay avatars which got sold out by the way in 14.2 seconds and kishu holds the number
one record uh out of the meme projects on baby exchange till this date and we did release it in
where the market was you know not so good but you can see the power of the community and you know all
the sneak peeks of the game that we released and showed you guys over you know every other quarter
of this year and you guys can see how crisp the game is it's absolutely immaculate like the graphics
the theme and how you know the all the modes the arena you guys will see every bit of color and
everything is so crisp and you can see like why we say and why the developers spent so much money
because they've said it to us always even when we were with the game developers saying look the community
you know made this project it's not the developers developers launched it but community's been
you know making it going places you know so they said you know for the sake of community we can't
just give them a simple you know like a like a quick 20 20 grand 50 grand game you know if we're
going to do it uh and we're a meme project we're going to do it to a level that when people see the
quality of the game they're not going to be you know like oh is that it you know it's going to be
top of the range so i think we nailed this definitely so you guys are going i mean like it's so it's it's
very high production quality so we're talking something like like hearthstone or the marvel snap
game like is that is that fair to say it's kind of going to be up in that echelon in terms of like
visual aesthetics and and function it's it's like when we started developing the game our our background
was hearthstone it's on that level basically awesome awesome that's super cool how the mechanics works
we of course we had our touches in there just to make it stand out but it is our our brain was
focused on hearthstone when we started doing this amazing that's super cool guys keep keep up the good
work keep up all the hard work um and you know we we're already helping you with our cross-chain swap
sdk right now um for perkish swap but as we release our umbrella features for our our new kind of
upgraded um you know business focus sdk we'll be providing um nft swaps and things like that as well
so well we'd absolutely love to help you out in that regard for the game and and provide you know even
more functionality um for for nfts being able to move freely in and out and um and for people to
use crypto from from different blockchains to be able to participate in what you guys are building so
yeah that sounds amazing amazing you know uh you just mentioned about the nfts and stuff like that
because you know you guys um you know i know you guys partnered with a lot of people but you guys
seriously in my opinion doing amazing uh you know like how we all say the strong projects stand out and
you know we don't look at charts or you know market cap but you guys are doing i think exactly what
we're doing you're just building you know just going out there and just keep pushing and this is
you know one of the reasons why you know uh when we first uh spoke um you know we wanted to partner
you because we've seen what you got what we got it's almost identical so yeah thank you man colin
yeah absolutely and and and you know uh just to to expand on that further because i'd be remiss if i
didn't ask um can i ask you guys what what your your just overall opinions are on rubik and and and how
you see that not just affecting you but kind of affecting the industry as a whole and the growth
um you know keeping in mind too like we're we're really pushing this this uh umbrella sdk to bring
apps that currently exist in in a web 2 environment and then also you know on board more uh bigger
enterprise businesses and enable them to get into the space yeah um so yeah based on rubik i know your
project uh before like from 2020 towards the end so i was an investor in your project uh yeah so you
know before the bull run came out you know i was making my portfolio and stuff like that and you know
you guys done really well at the time and um yeah so back then i remember like you know whenever i
invested in coins i do research and stuff like that i pretty much seen you know what you guys doing and
stuff like that i used to follow you guys and uh you know when i was holding the token and um a lot of
amazing things and then you know come like as you mentioned earlier like you know when you know uh
you have bull run 2016 17 and 18 a lot of projects disappear and then we started again in 2020
where we had the halving and then the bull run was 2021 we experienced the same thing in 2022 and
obviously kishu and rubik wasn't one of them so this is it just tells everyone here on the space about
you know these are the tokens that you really want to research asap because the heart you know i'd say
most of the hard you know times in crypto space you know many many months they've already passed guys
and we're still here we're still breathing and we're still building so you know me personally i know
rubik really well from before and whenever like you know when we got in contact uh and i spoke to
uh one of your colleagues about you know we want to take the sdk and get introduced kishu swap and
everything i did mention it to him as well and everything so you know i'm quite familiar with
your project and you know i was really happy at the time and you know i made a lot of money from your
tokens so thank you so yeah this this is everything from my side and mo do you want to add anything uh
on yeah yeah of course see from from my opinion i think every every project that is trying to solve
a problem it will always be there like rubik right now what it's doing it's it's trying to
take off the risk factor from from using the bridges and these things because you know how bridges are
are some of them are messing up like some of them getting hacked and these things so basically what's
happening you are you are being safe you are just using this router router that rubik has provided
for you and without the risk of losing your your funds basically because it gives you multi multi uh
multi providers and multi bridges and you can use whatever you want as much as you want and it won't
be affected because it's just using the suitable one for you although there was a last i think there
was an issue happened before but this is not related to any bridges or any safety basically
it affected rubik itself not the investors or not the users so the safety that they are providing
the investors that's that's really good plus the ease of use of the of the platform because i when i
when i uh when we started the partnership together with rubik i had the chance to to design the
interface basically so i looked through the files i looked through the sdk as as a whole i looked how how
they built it it's it's secure that's nice it's easy for the people who want to be as an integrator
there as well it's very very simple to use you just uh change some factors and that's it they can
use it and they are offering this for you without any issues basically they are telling you okay we'll
support you till the end just do this and we can grow together so these type of projects these will
always stand out even though there is a market dip or market is exploding or whatever it doesn't matter
they keep building and they keep doing new stuff and as we heard at the beginning of the this ama
the amount of news that you gave out that's something no no project is doing this right now
you are trying to build no matter look at the market today just did you know and nobody cares
we're just doing what we can yeah definitely yeah also i just want to add on this as well more like
you know to open guys you know we say is you know a lot of projects we see scams and stuff like that
you know always pay attention to what's happening in the bear market like you know how rubik they do
weekly like they open spaces we open spaces there's a lot of projects they're not even engaged with their
community they don't even you know give them any updates or any hope or you know what's coming next
and everything so these are there's many many reasons why we you know partnered with rubik like i said
it's almost identical you know we love uh rubik and i'm sure you know you guys uh your community is
awesome i'd love to meet them as well and um yeah so you know always focus on you know what you're
getting uh don't always you know in the bear market it's not about you know the candles the red candle
or the green candle or the market cap avoid this look at the quality look at um the transparency look
you know how they you know open spaces they come they talk to you guys they ask you questions they bring
any partnerships and stuff like that because guys in 2014 same thing happened 2018 same thing happened
a lot of projects that took big dips but only the strong ones survived and then you know not
financial advice we've seen later they do between you know 200 to you know a thousand x now when people
come in a bull run and you know a lot of assets already pumped you know 15 20 30 40 thousand percent
and then they're hoping for a thousand x i mean it doesn't make sense thousand x and gems like that are
found in these kind of market conditions so if you guys are aiming for certain x's and stuff like that
you know don't wait for bull run they're found in a bare blood market so not financial advice but i'm
just saying like me personally uh i'll be adding rupee to my portfolio very soon thank you colin yeah
absolutely and thank you thank you uh robin and thank you mo um the very kind words i i wholeheartedly
agree with with everything you guys said um and and i've always kind of um personally invested that
way in this industry as well right like back in 2017 when i was looking at icos when i was like all
the craze right um i was looking at who was building solutions to problems that may not exist just yet
um but they will right like just through logical conclusions um you know they're they're i'm not i
don't want to give away too much about like my my portfolio but because i've already mentioned one
one of them in the past like one of the icos i invested in was the the guys over at zero x um
you know i saw what they were trying to do with with aggregating liquidity from multiple sources
and providing that as like a kind of you know uh aggregated solution to find and source all of
this different liquidity and i went wow you know that's a great idea um you know centralized exchanges
kind of go against the ethos of crypto and web 3 and being decentralized right so so decentralized
exchanges are going to be big now this was two years before uniswap's creation but um i i thought
to myself wow you know like that's going to be the future and there's going to be so many people vying for
popularity and and users that there will just be a ton of different liquidity providers in the market and so
there there there should be somebody that's aggregating all of that liquidity and providing
it to users in a really simple and digestible user interface um and i think that that is that's
important like you guys were saying it's important to try and and find uh projects that are serious
about not just building but what they are building is something that's that's that's useful and will
offer a service to people uh in the space and so i i appreciate all the kind words i know our developers are
going to be absolutely uh thrilled to hear all those kind words uh as well so um thank you guys for that
and um yeah and thank you and thank you for sharing all of this stuff uh that you guys are working on
as well like it's it's going to be a really exciting 2023 like i said for all the projects that are that are
still building and have the the vision to see it through to the next uh bull cycle like the the the sky is
the limit right like we we mentioned it earlier you know uh tens of trillions hundreds of trillions of
dollars in terms of overall industry value will be injected into uh the web3 space and
you know it's a the pie is massive right like there's enough for everyone involved right now
for sure uh but more than enough for everyone involved right now um but you know we're going to
see so much growth i think um through this next bull cycle uh you know it's something like three
percent of mankind owns crypto in some way shape or form and that may be even less now as people have
sold off you know stuff that they purchased through apps like um on their phone like stock trading apps
and stuff that started selling crypto i think a lot of those people are probably they capitulated and
sold so who knows what the actual number is right now but it's still such a tiny tiny amount of where
the industry is going to be in in even just five years let alone 10 or 20 um so again i reiterate uh
the if you're listening to this right now if you are especially live um or or you're involved in any way
shape or form in this industry as an investor or even somebody who works in that especially if you
work in the industry you are so incredibly early like you are not just setting you and again this
isn't financial advice but it's just to me it's a kind of a common sense like if you're involved in
this right now you're not just setting yourself up for success you're not just setting yourself up for
an easier life 10 15 20 years from now you're setting up an easier life for your kids for your
grandkids for your great grandkids i mean think about the people that bought stock in coca-cola
back in the 1800s 1900s like early like 1907 right i bought you know 50 shares of coca-cola like it was
worth like millions and millions and millions of dollars today so um it's we're on the cusp of
something absolutely massive and and so i'd like to give a big thank to everybody listening right now
like you guys are are the early adopters that are going to really spread the word and to get
people excited and hyped over all of this new technology and and all the new business models
it can it means not just for for actual businesses but as an individual right we're going to monetize
the way we interact with the world as an individual and so there's just so so much potential and and i
want to thank all of you for for being here for for listening to us just kind of ramble on like uh
and and and just talk about what we're super passionate about um because it's it it is really
cool to be on the cutting edge of of a brand new um revolution right tantamount to the industrial
revolution the communication revolution the transportation revolution we have this data and
financial revolution um and it's just it's absolutely amazing so again thank you to everybody
