Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. I'm not sure what you're doing. One sec, motherfuckers.
A lot of moving parts.
This came out of nowhere.
We thought it was going tomorrow,
but that apparently is the first drop
on the on-chain summer Rarible Minter app.
But looks like we're launching today
on the Rarible homepage right now, man.
This is crazy.
They hooked it up, too.
I don't know if you guys saw the write-up I pinned, the first pinned here.
But, man, pretty fucking dope.
Imagine that fucking project with no budget,
just a bunch of based builders coming together under the umbrella of being meme enjoy yours, believing in something fucking real and meaningful, man.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
Like, come up, say what's up.
Say what's up?
I'm just like, fuck it, let's host the space and see if people are minting these things and see what they look like.
Because the ones that I saw already, fucking crazy.
I might be quiet for a second because I want to go mint one.
So, you motherfuckers want to come up?
Let's talk about the collection
whatever
I'm just going to hold this space
or don't man
or go listen to fucking Mario in the Fall
or go listen to some new fucking
amazing meme that just
decided it was real
10 minutes ago
go listen to another cat
ooh wiki cat sicky cat picky cat wiki cat chicky cat
communities fucking we've been okay okay now you guys want to see what real fucking community
like actual community not this fucking perverted shit that y'all call community
look at what 40 yard is coming together over six months for the love of mfers
with not even a thought that it would get on the radar of
dudes like jesse pollock and the bass team shout out bradley as well from their head of creative partnerships and then they
linked us with fucking jonathan cologne over at rareable i didn't even know that rareable and
coinbase were collabing like that but they definitely are and it's dope man rareable's
cooking these guys are doing some next level shit for creators, man.
So anyways, I mean, look,
I'm going to be quiet for like two minutes while I'm in this thing.
If motherfuckers want to come up and talk some shit, cool.
If you want to go away, that's fine too.
But if you just want to tap into the vibe
and just see where this goes, man,
I'm opening the space for it because this is fucking sick.
This is fucking sick.
Yeah.
So I think this is recorded for the motherfuckers that are not able to tune in during work or whatever.
I did not plan on hosting the space.
I didn't know it was launching today, bro.
They said it's live on the mini app tomorrow.
But I guess they decided to feature it on the fucking
Rarible homepage right now.
So, like, GG's.
You got to fucking adjust with new information, man.
That's how we've been doing it, Jungle Bay.
We've been fucking it, Jungle Bay.
We've been fucking trying shit out, fucking around and finding out.
And, yeah, man, I hope that you guys get a chance to go mint.
It's actually crazy because if you see the artists that are in the mix on this, like some of these artists are like selling their shits, especially one on one for like multiple ETH.
And they were just down to fucking do one for the cause, for the island, the metaphorical jungle bay island, man. which is really dope. But because it's a random mint,
you can fuck around and mint a one-on-one
from fucking Manic or Spellman or Ray Larsdom, man.
So many dope artists.
I'm not even trying to fucking separate any of them
because these are some fucking talented dudes that are and then
ladies that participated um and that's why i'm kind of half talking right now because i'm
looking at my fucking wallet swapping some shit to bass and i'm gonna mint
so i don't know come up up, man. Come fucking...
Come say what's up.
Because otherwise, you might get bored.
And that is what it is, too.
I just...
Honestly, I was surprised.
This shit just came out of nowhere.
Screen visioned the chat like,
Hey, yo, it's live.
I was like, wait, what are you talking about?
Hold on, don't send that.
He's like, bro, it's on their home page i was like oh okay well it's lit then let's go
let's go i'm swapping the bass swapping the bass see what we get here
Let's see what we get here.
Even if you want to come up.
Oh, we got some requests, though.
Hey, and we got the goat himself.
Blends, what's up, my brother?
How are you?
What's up, bro?
I was just looking at it.
I was thinking, how fitting is it that Rarible does a mfers do what they want moment
you definitely call me by surprise especially with this collection 100 it's like the perfect
way to launch it out it's in the spirit of everything else which has been like
okay we'll do this and just like man it's it's such a thing to do that they just like decide to just launch it bro i
love it um but i just wanted to quickly say i've been watching all this cook in the background you
know we did that brain the collection and then the uh the bobo one and i didn't participate in this
but i've been watching all these artists cook. I've been reading all the group chats, hearing everything come in.
And just like, dude, it's wild to go from the Brainlet to the Bobo thing.
And now this MF thing being on Rarible, all the connections that, you know, you helped put together with the bass team.
I think it's fucking dope, dude.
So huge congratulations to all the
artists. Huge congratulations to you. And this is just a giant win for Jungle Bay. You know,
like things are things are on the move. So, I mean, we all got to pat ourselves on the back
because it really takes a community to make shit like this happen. Thank you and honestly like i don't a lot of people don't know that uh
i wouldn't a lot of this you wouldn't get done without you helping in the back
back channels man it's uh it really is fucking you're you're a legend like not only is the one
of the craziest artists like i got a framed fucking piece from Blends 2, actually, that are fucking close to heart, physical copies,
but also just the fact that you're just a savage in the background to help fucking make sure this shit gets done right.
And, I mean, you always, dude, there's just like, and I guess it's the Remilio in you, too,
there's, there's just like, and that's, I guess it's the remilio in you too.
Like, just like a bit of a fucking, uh,
people understand that, that you're a serious motherfucker in a powerful way.
And, uh, you like to,
it's good to keep motherfuckers around that are just, uh,
they understand what it takes to elevate shit. It's not easy in this space.
And, um, and it's been over time too. So, you know, back at you, but yeah,
this, this, this is pretty crazy because, you know, all the artists and everybody, we went into this not knowing that it was going to have any sort of association with Coinbase or Rarible or anything.
And, you know, they just did it for the love of MFers and the love of Jungle Bay.
jungle bay and uh you know similar to how we had done the other ones and then the fact that like
And, you know, similar to how we had done the other ones.
twitter makes it so easy i was just like i just reached out to jesse bollock man and i told him
like the bird's eye view about the project he was like yo this is dope uh and then he linked me with
some people at base and they had uh looped in the rareable and just, it happens like really fucking organically when you're cooking with fucking high octane gas, man.
And I just think it's crazy to see it all coming together.
But where my mind goes to is that this could really open doors for the artists that have,
you know, shown up and fucking been a part of continuing to scale um jungle bay in this
you know metaphorical jungle bay island because the rareable guys and bass guys made it clear
that like they're down to you know open up the kimono and help the artists individually as well. So there's a lot of touch points that are possible now.
And it just happens with fucking around and finding out, you know?
It's like that's the only way to do it.
Like if you don't actually just have no –
because there's never a promise of any of this shit happening
unless you just make something that's worth extending for and i saw i saw blends drop but i'm
always good to see my dog worm wormwood what's up brother how are you hello if i say my name is
baba can i get free nfts nope you gotta be you gotta be doing some fucking uh you gotta do some cartwheels for me
maybe spread do a spread eagle i can clap my cheeks for you only if you look like that you're
bfp though and i and you better stink like how you look that's how i like it
okay what's up man no i'm just joking what's up dude um you know it's kind of funny uh you brought
up bobo um i think that the first time i ever heard of your name was when uh certain somebody
else was shilling bobo but lo lo and behold they were gifted about 150 grand worth of Bobo just to shill it.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on.
I'm going to hold.
I'm going to pause that because that is bullshit.
You don't know that for nothing.
You just.
So the photos that I have of somebody else's wallet.
It's not you, buddy.
It's not you.
No, of course it's not you but it's not you no no of course it's not me i have photos i have photos
of a certain someone's wallet showing about 148 000 give or take i don't want to see photos i
want to see the wallet and i want to look for myself on chain because that's the beauty of
having shit on chain that is i would i guarantee that's not the case if anything you're seeing maybe somebody
send it to another one of their wallets but you you've got to be careful about recklessly
chucking out fucking bullshit i got you hold on where would you like do you want me to dm me dm
and you've probably seen this photo too wait it's the one that you fucking sent me. Go to our DMs, dude. What?
You literally sent me the same fucking photo, dude.
Oh, you're talking, bro, you're talking about.
I'm talking about good old Alki.
Wait, but that's not $150,000. $145,000, bro.
$145,000, Bobo.
Yeah, but he's
that's like some fucking
but I don't understand
I thought you were talking about
like someone like I thought you were talking about
like David
no I was just talking about him
so it's like
this is the first project where people do
weird stuff and they get early entries and sell on motherfuckers' heads for profit.
No, no, bro, bro.
Dude, this guy was sent this allocation.
I'm telling you right now.
I don't know.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I could care less.
It wasn't me.
No, I guess he's saying Alchemist sent some transaction.
No, no.
He was sent.
But on to other news.
Hey, Cicasa, how about that grand you owe me?
For what?
Remember that one time?
Oh, when you did that thing I like?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm going to airdrop it to you.
Did you take Bobo?
I'll take Pump, bro.
I'll take that new Pump. Wait, I'm puzzled. Are you saying to you. Thank you. Thank you. I'll take pump, bro. I'll take that new pump.
I'm puzzled.
Are you saying Alchemist got Bobo?
I never said the full name.
Alchemist got sent a transaction of some Bobo wallet making a.
You can't just say some Bobo.
Like, bro, it's almost a quarter of a fucking million dollars, my guy. But do you know how many people made, like, millions of dollars off a fucking $50, $100
fucking investment in this space?
Like, this is not, like, you're not talking about something that is out of the ordinary
for any project.
It's just the selective fucking...
But, like, I just want to know who sent it to him.
Because, like, who in the right mind says, hey, I think Alec would be the best person to fucking show this coin.
And, and, and all they get is a couple of like West,
like a deep Southern people put in in five, $6. And yeah,
I don't know, man.
I think it's because he's the biggest critic of Bobo and also the number
11 most influential on cookie.fun. So thanks for pumping our bags. Um, uh,
and so when you're talking about it every day and trying to dismantle it,
some people are going to, uh,
going to send you stuff because you're talking about it. That would be my guess,
but onto more important things because uh i'm i don't care about
uh the the opinions of broke monkeys um i care about other types of monkeys like like fucking
jungle bay uh based motherfucking monkeys who are cooking up uh thank art i thought you were
talking about section eight housing holy Holy shit. Thank you. All right. Bye.
Wyrmwood, it's always good to see you, Doc.
Yo, Kaz, what's up, man?
How are you?
What's popping?
How's everyone doing?
After fucking being derailed for a second, doing fine.
And I love Wyrmwood. I just hadn't seen him in whatever.
And then we're talking
about bobo meanwhile literally rarible comes and takes fucking the jungle bay sees from the
memetic garden shit and puts it on their home page and there's going to be the first drop in
the mini app tomorrow for for on chain summer bro and and coinbase is going to put some fucking
uh heat behind it as well as far as just bringing some attention to the artists.
Congratulations, bro.
I'm just high, man.
Congrats to all the fucking people who have continued to show up and breathe layers into Jungle Bay Island, man.
It's really dope.
We'll be grinding on this shit for a minute, bro.
You deserve it.
Seriously.
Thanks, dog.
I mean, we'll see how it goes, right?
It's TBD. But either way, that's massive. Just see how it goes right it's uh tbd but but either way that's
that's massive just that you know progress it's opening one step at a time bro it's opening some
doors and the fact that like i just love man like i you know you know i've talked about it before but
all these projects that were like oh yeah you know they first off they they took a fucking
huge profit off of the mint and then they got all the money, and then they're not seeing shit.
So they're like, oh, yeah, we got to close it up shop due to fucking, you know, budget constraints or lack of liquidity or whatever.
We never got, and I've never personally profited ever from Jungle Bay and put my own money into it as well but never profited
from it it's been intentional because and i'm and that's not saying someday we don't structure it
like it we we incorporated it i got the accounting right all that stuff to make sure there's no like
liability and to make sure that and to see that like down the line we could structure it into a
business for the people that you know have been here and help build it but um it's intentionally
been like this because then it becomes bulletproof as a as a blueprint when you just can't deny that
if you have people that um that align under the you know for the love of the memes and the art
and the artists and the ethos of motherfuckers that you can do it it's just not easy and it takes more time
and uh i think like these types of moments where we get the nod from coinbase and from base and
jesse and bradley and we get the um you know the alley-oop from rarible and not only that i want
to say too man i said it yesterday but it was a smaller space. So in case anyone, man, apparently my fucking service was garbage.
So GG's on that.
But, um, when I was talking with the Rarible guys, they, uh, there is Jonathan in particular,
he was saying that they have a 20% platform fee for, uh, for like the Rarible platform
for uh for like the rarible platform fee and after understanding the story of jungle bay and
fee.
also like what this project represents the seeds from the memetic garden they waived the fee
uh completely which was kind of crazy um so like those types of uh just i mean that's kind of been
the the energy that a lot of the artists and a lot of the people that have shown up for Jungle Bay have continued to bring to the table of like no expectations.
Let's just fucking continue to make this different and build differently.
And man, this fucking collection is so sick.
I saw that I minted this insane piece from fucking BR11.
I'm going to – I don't know if people – whoever's minting their shits.
I don't know.
Where's the easiest way where I could post how these things –
okay, latest drops.
Let's see.
Maybe I could, if I click on this collection link, does it show what was minted?
Activity.
Okay.
So let me post the activity link and then y'all can see what I'm talking about.
Hold on.
Stand by.
I'm just posting.
While you do that, you know what you know what this shit reminds me of
this whole project jungle bay and and just like the whole vibe it's like uh delayed gratification
right the ability to resist immediate rewards uh in favor of like a larger long-term benefit
you know what i mean it's like it's kind of like the cornerstone of
like success psychology when it's investing or education or self-discipline, like, um,
and, and this generation and particularly in crypto, right. It's right now, right now,
like everything needs to be fast, quick, like one second charts, yada, yada, right?
But I think in investing and business and all this shit I was just talking about, that's one thing.
But I think it's something people are losing as far as just in being – not to take it too deep or whatever, but being able to just enjoy life.
You know what I mean?
Like over a while, those like fast hits, they drain you and they make you incapable of actually enjoying like fucking like, I don't know, life.
But anyways, there's a lot of famous research that has shown this, you know, like.
Well, that is something that I noticed from multiple cycles and also just like the best investors.
And I know you're a trader, too it's i know that you also understand like the
difference between the two trading is kind of how you level up what you're able to invest right but
like people think that there's a shortcut around um building value and i just don't believe that
real value can be built without time i think you can have like sparks that can be capitalized on
and scaled and especially if you, you know, sustain energy
toward it. But ultimately, like, attention wanes, and it ebbs and flows more so. And so, like, to be,
to have something that is, you know, sturdy enough to preserve value and grow value,
you need to have that time component. That's why we always say the formula for memetic
finance is DM plus T, dank memes plus time. It's because it's just, there's no way around it. And
once you kind of embrace that and you adjust your expectations and not be like, oh, this is going to
get me rich tomorrow. And you try to, as you do, right, like you focused on what bucket you can allocate to the short term
to continue to build your long-term conviction plays like that but the second you put the short
the the what should be the long-term conviction into the short-term bucket you end up fucking
robbing yourself of you know something that that you could be have that compound um return
um effect especially if you're enjoying the process right like it's not like the
we're doing is like hard labor or anything like not that it not that it's easy but we
we have a good time like kicking it on the timeline me mean like whatever like it's it's fun like it's
about enjoying the product and people see that like it's a vibe and it's it's fun like it's about enjoying the front and people see that
shit like it's a vibe and it's not easy but like if you let it kind of you get in that flow state
and like you said just kind of like you know let it happen like embody it um and believe you know
I think things are I think what's happening right now for instance it could be
the beginning of some momentum you never know like what's going to happen but um you know i hope i
hope this ends up being the beginning of some momentum for this situation because it deserves
it and i think there's a lot i think it's undeniable i think a lot of people there's no way
anybody can deny it in good faith you know what i I mean? It's definitely undeniable in the making, right?
Like I think that you need to be tested.
Like that's another thing, right?
Like you can tell you, there's no way.
And that's why people are like, oh yeah, I'm a bad judge of character.
We're all like trying to give, you know, a gift of a jungle bay I bought to someone to bring them in
or some of the, you know,
some Riz when we're trying to scale Riz or whatever it is.
But it's like,
you need to have opportunities for people to fuck you over in order to weed
out, to use the garden metaphor, to weed out the,
the poisonous fucking weeds.
And there's no way when shit is just up only all good,
everything's great.
It's very easy for people to be easy or, you know, easy to fucking get along with and think that they're aligned with whatever you're trying to do.
It's only when you get someone to dump something on your head when the prices are going down and they're scared and only thinking about themselves and they clocked it as money in their bank as opposed to an investment that
is that has a number that's in flux. That's where you have the opportunity to be able to weed,
to identify the fucking dank fruits that, you know, usually get fucking clouded by just this this fog of uh dickweed that that
fucking grows um that's right bountifully in this space in particular there's no easy way
there's that's always tell people there's no such thing as easy money i don't give a shit it's just
it's nature bro like there's no easy food no free lunch lunch type shit. Like, and even if. And I think.
Well, the free lunches, they come, right?
But I think that that's an important element because if you didn't have that little dangle carrot, right, where people are like, oh, maybe this is the.
Then like you would never have people be able to differentiate.
I would argue there's a price, though, to those free lunch, because guess what people, then you, they get this fucked up mindset. Like they expect that to happen or they think, they think that shit's going to happen again. And they trick off that
money. Right. So even if, even if people do get the quote unquote free lunch, I believe that
there is a price to be paid for that. And you will learn eventually the hard way that it wasn't free. Like the lessons still need to be learned.
Right.
Like, um, I, I totally agree.
And I also think that like, there's, there's something to be said, um, or, or it's very
similar to growing a muscle, right?
You got to break it down.
You got to like, and then it's got to have the capacity to fucking build back.
And it's larger.
It can hold more weight. It can, or more weight or it can sustain more weight, whatever.
Like you need to be able to grow whatever your, for lack of a better word, like vessel is to be able to contain the energy that comes with fucking max gains, right?
right like because because if you if you think that it's going to come easy and you get that
nice pop you'll end up going and dumping it into some other shit if you haven't developed a framework
to preserve it and i think that that gets overlooked because people are so fucking
uh hyped about um you know these these jolts that we get in this being in this type of space
and uh yeah it's good to keep that perspective because a lot of us like that dj and rush right like it's just fun it's just fun like you just
want to fucking be around it but there's that moderation piece moderation is the key i think
that is a a very true fucking component in general um but yo real quick i so i mean i'm looking at this recent mints it's the most
recently pinned um post right and if you go down to activity are you able to look at the link
um let's see here
yeah the seeds this one the one that you just penned right sorry i was
a little bit destructive yeah so like look at this yeah it's calling it unrarable right
yeah yeah unrarable then go down to activity okay this is so funny man so okay so go to activity
and then go to this one that i, that I minted 19 minutes ago.
MF for coffee.
Do you see it?
Yes.
Look at this shit,
bro.
This motherfucker BR 11.
It's so funny.
Dude,
there's,
there's one of the,
one of them that,
that,
that BR 11 made where you like,
you can tell it that, that it's like the same MF-er there.
And it's like he had a bad trade.
And you see him just fucking take his computer and chuck it across the fucking room and break it.
It's so funny, dude.
All these different pieces of art that were made by all these artists of different styles, they're so different. And it just shows all the different possible ways
that MFers can be expressed and just the vibe
of MFers can be expressed.
I'm wondering if we should print, should post some of the,
like, how can I fucking post just a piece um yes they're all like look at this one
robot m effort that just got uh minted by fucking jam x man so these are these are what these are
like is this a collection that you put out or so this is a collection sorry yeah so this is a collection that you put out or so this is a collection sorry yeah so this is a collection
from 40 artists who are you know jungle bay home team uh artists um all of the artists are listed
in the pin tweet furthest to or second to the right and and they created 369 one of ones
so everything minting is a one-of-one.
I love those. I love those collections.
To MFers.
And it's really just like the whole intention behind each of these
like Jungle Bay collaborative collections,
like a bunch of the home team artists making one-of-ones for it,
is to bring back that fun part of NFTs becauses because you got the random mint so you don't
know which artist you're gonna get it from you don't know what it's gonna be and that reveal
and just the fact that you could mint like opening a pack of baseball cards right exactly bro exactly
and it's like when the quality of even like the you know most unknown artist that's included is still
just incredibly strong and they're all so different it just it makes it such a fun
experience i think that that was just absolutely molly whopped by the blur stuff that came and
all these dumb derives that had 10 000 collect collect, 10,000 supply, et cetera, et cetera.
And so there's a market, there's a market for that feeling. Like you can see it like with
these fucking labooboos and all that shit, right? Like it's fucking fun. Like it's throughout
history, there's been a market for, you know, that feeling that people get collectors, man.
Yeah. Correct. Yeah. Absolutely. And like the whole idea, right, especially with like some of the less known artists that
may be like from another country.
Like I think of like fucking Rey Meshaka is like one of the examples, like, or copy boys
who are both like criminally unknown, right? Like for their caliber of, of fucking talent,
they're just, they're, they, they live in another country
and they're not like, they're just making art, right?
So it requires motherfuckers to be able to identify that
and try to elevate or try to just bring more attention
to what they're doing.
And so like for, for Jungle Bay Island as a metaphorical place
to be a conduit for bringing attention
to these incredible individual artists,
that's I think a catalyst that could really make a difference
as a launch pad.
And then you have like someone like Manic,
like we saw that with Manic,
like he's been cooking for years, dude, incredible stuff. I've been collecting his stuff. as a launch pad and then you have like someone like manic like we saw that with manic like
he's been cooking for years dude incredible stuff i've been collecting his stuff he would do like a
101 it would go for fucking like 0.05 eath or 0.02 eath because nobody was really paying attention
or whatever now it's going for fucking four eath five eath bro it's like an art gallery like like the island is like a like a digital like gallery
and you know i think we're coming into like okay obviously there's gonna be a shit ton of slop
right that's technically good and as we go farther and farther into this ai fuckery um there's gonna
be a lot of slop but people are gonna going to, I think my, my idea is
that people are going to go, obviously that's great for like paperwork and, you know, just basic
productivity. Right. But what does that give us? It gives us a lot of free time.
And I think it's going to bring value. I hope that it brings value to real human shit art. Like again, I think there's going to
be no reason why people don't have time now to pay attention to art or pay attention to like,
you know, spending time with their friends and family, right? Like theoretically, AI should
free up a lot of time. And I think it should bring value back to real one of, to art, right? To live performances, to hand-drawn art, one of ones. And yeah, I hope that's where we go. And this kind of takes all that together, right? like real personalized one-of-one art and it's on in a digital world you know social media which i
think is up and coming and crypto which obviously is clearly up and like it's just all the things
that i think that i'm bullish on and that i think are cool that i like as well um and put some all
together in jungle bay which is fucking which is awesome yeah and you know just to piggyback on that like
the idea that we could facilitate an opportunity for a these artists to like be down to to create
for a relatively low price right and then then the fact that they're one of ones right because
we saw that like open edition season that kind of like people didn't really
understand what an 8,000 supply, 10,000 supply of the same ERC-1155 would do to demand eventually,
right? But it was just frenzy. And so like when you see that and you're like, or even just like
the 6529 collection, because I feel like that really was a major impact in general with like being able to elevate artists and aggregate like incredible talent.
But they still did like very high supplies as well.
So to have on a smaller scale, but still like high caliber artists, many of whom already have 6529 cards or have their own followings or whatever.
already have six five two nine cards or have their own you know followings or whatever
they're still up and coming relative to like where you know let's say someone like you know
act like alpha centauri kid like he started in the same fashion just just earlier on um and and
now you know he's selling stuff for 30 40 100 east right like no problem yeah and since we're so early on and since like
jungle bay as a horizon of a project you know we're looking long term this is
in every sense of the word a passion project you realize you're basically a curator bro
you're like a curator of digital art essentially like in an art gallery that's the way i hope that
well and i hope that it's like
i hope it turns into both like a launch pad but also yeah like a curation vehicle um to elevate
these artists but the fact that someone could you know have a uh you know mint a manic 101 right now
on this collection for a 4.0369 or ray larsdom's one of one or fucking spell them in right like yeah these guys are not
going anywhere these artists they're just starting their careers and digital art is permeating the
culture and the friction to access it and display it is is it's fine people are finally wrapping
their heads around digital collectibles in a different way. Just digital items, like digital possessions.
And what ownership means.
Yeah, just that.
Because we used to only, it used to be like,
yeah, you're, okay, you own that picture,
like, you know, the right click save meme,
like, but now they understand
that it's the underlying token that matters.
Like, I have a broken key piano right and acted this re uh recent mint
that was like one of ten or something and because i hold that token the broken key token i had
access to mint the next one so artists can like scale value in this so much you can do there's so much you can do and
that's the thing it's like it's hard for us to realize because we've been here sitting here
waiting essentially for people to catch on and like it's almost like the right click save meme
like if you're not fucking like really fully entrenched and like believing like you could
almost begin to believe it like maybe i am fucking
wasting my time like maybe this is just a fucking like you know just a jpeg and i'm fucking tripping
but it's not like it's not like in my opinion like you have to obviously you have to take chances
and access yeah i mean like i i mean you can see right now they're moving everything on to smart contracts.
Like, think about how inefficient PDFs and fucking pieces of paper are.
It's ridiculous, bro.
Like, we're scaling out our entire world infrastructure.
Like, we're doubling the amount of power, for instance, that our country produces because we know the writing's on the wall where
it's going so like uh digital assets like where crypto's going it's it's just a matter of time
before people can wrap their head around and understand and then obviously look at we're
kicking it right here i always bring this up but we're kicking right here in the space
and soon the space is going to be more of a i think a three-dimensional or augmented reality
situation and our fucking artwork's going to be hanging on these digital fucking walls, dude.
And then it's really going to make sense, right?
And think about, okay, so these artists are great.
And so what does that say about Jungle Bay?
The fact that you're here, understanding that, being a curator, being a platform for them.
What does that say about you and this community
in the future it says that you'll you're gonna have a say or your your opinion will matter all
right people jungle bay's opinion will matter right and and like and it should because you
know what i'm saying so it's like i don't know that's the way i see this shit shaking out but
who fucking knows yeah well i think like you know what as you continue to to
put you know it's really proof of work right it's time in the fucking time in the game and uh and
when people that's something that nobody can take from you now it depends what you do with that time
like there are people who are like oh i bought bitcoin in 2012 it's like okay but how many times
did you get wrecked and why are you fucking in some fucking, you know, weasel with hat Solana fucking launch, right? Like, what are you doing here? And that's also but like, when there's a, especially like when the when it's on the blockchain, where there's a blockchain fucking history to, to, you know, your reputation on chain or what you've done out here or whatever
that is something that they know that can't be misconstrued um and that's one of the reasons
why i love blockchain because it's just this um undeniable uh permanent record um of of
accomplishment or whatever whatever it is fuck around and find out
and uh when it comes to these different artists it's it's been crazy to see man like how much
work some people have put into just like a post knowing that they're not even minting it they're
just they're just putting fucking you know know, five hours, ten hours, whatever,
of work into something that's just going to go out into the abyss
and just add to this critical mass of resonance that is percolating
with the efforts that we have continued to kind of put into the ether.
And that is so inspiring to see when people do that.
Not saying like, hey, motherfuckers should just be out here, you know, putting it in and not knowing what's coming from.
But I think there's an underlying message in that, in that, like, we know what is possible and we know that it's going to require a certain amount of effort.
And so this is like a martial art
approaching it like getting onto the mat every fucking day putting in the reps and whatever you
become excellent at i think that 10 000 hours thing is 100 real and like had we not gone through
putting you know two collections together before not not including the fucking memes and Jungle Bay MFers,
two seasons, like, you learn things along the way.
Like, I've done fucking probably 60 meme contests.
I've learned a lot of shit,
and we're still trying to improve, like, the voting
and how to fucking present everything and making it fair
and all this
stuff is like there's a lot of nuance that people wouldn't um expect or are involved as headwinds
when you're trying to do anything but once you understand them then you become well much more
equipped to perform at a high level right and like we're no we're nowhere near that
but i can feel like every every brick that's stacked is is it makes it a little bit more
fucking clear that there's a there's there's a real there's a structure being built you know
facts and in a world i believe we're, we're heading towards a world of abundance for the reasons I was speaking
of earlier. Like I think efficiency,
like max efficiency is going to happen.
It's coming way faster than anybody realizes,
especially considering the arms race, the one with China.
Yeah. I don't want to do, I won't bore anybody with that,
but in a world where in a world of abundance, right.
Where no longer are we fucking rats on a fucking hamster
wheel trying to survive um the only thing really or the most valuable thing becomes that time
right that time that you spent that you can prove you spent um doing altruistic things like while some people are spending their days
fucking i don't know organizing some fucking filing cabinet for a check you see what i mean
like i don't know it's just there's something to be said about the way you spend your time because
there's only so much of it you know what i mean like that's the reality um like at the end of the
day like as far as like the way we're living like we're probably living like better than the
fucking emperor was living an emperor was living living fucking 150 years ago you know what i'm
saying so like um i don't know yeah like all this shit just comes together and really just i think
it's just like front running the future but uh but for like the
right reasons i don't know just fucking cool i'm stoked i love it yeah it is i think um i mean look
like we'll i like to be cautiously optimistic in general because everything usually takes longer
than you expect and uh and it's just it's just a process that I think once you're comfortable with the fact that it's just going to require time, it's fun.
You can find the fun in the grind and the obstacle of doing it, right?
And so that's really what it comes down to.
that's really what it comes down to i'm just looking at some of these fucking
mints and it's so dope to see uh see these things fucking dude like we've these these artists have
been working on this collection for six months man and like i i've i've been so i wanted to share
some of them because they're so fucking compelling and they're so dope. Some of these are so crazy, guys.
I'm not just fucking gassing here.
The amount of style and talent that is fucking included in this collection is insane.
Damn, someone minted the fucking Ray Larsden one.
Holy shit.
That one's live right now. this is so crazy but like just
to see just to see it come out now and just see people be able to realize how dank and and um like
fast the the style sets are is is gonna be cool to see hopefully um you know what rarible is doing with featuring it and and you
know maybe bass and coinbase also are gonna uh highlight it a bit that new people are gonna find
these insanely talented artists and start following them and start keeping tabs on um you know what's what's happening at jungle bay too um raf man what's up my dog good
to see you well i just jumped on because i was hearing you and cast talk about like you know
where things are headed and how how crypto and mean coins and nfts the direction they're headed and
it was funny because i was in a space the other day with a bunch of guys that had been um been
around in the early 2000s and they were talking about uh the skate culture and the clothing what the skate
yeah yeah yeah and then we're talking and it's like i basically came into a room with a bunch
of guys that were my clients at my store that i had back in 93. i had a clothing store called
contents in 93 and it was literally the skate and the the the you know
I don't know if you know what the ASR show is in San Diego
It's kind of like a show where they they present all the new skateboards and all the new clothing lines that come out
Yeah, there was like a cult following for that shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
So we were talking about some of the some of the some of the things and the reason I like memes and all that stuff
So much I have teases because it runs in the same line.
You know, we were talking about there was a clothing line called Pornstar, you know, and we're like, oh, I remember that shit.
I remember that shit.
Because I used to carry that in my clothing store back in 94, 95, whatever it came out, 96.
There was a lot.
And there was arcade and like all those little brands that came in.
Yeah.
Yeah, there was a bunch of stuff like that.
So I think that we're kind of going through that right now and exactly that's when i when i found uh
memes and nfts that's exactly what i see and i see in the beginning of that and it's kind of like
either either you see it and it's funny because all these guys that were on stage that were kind
of on the same on the same page like they they're the same kind of people that are in crypto right
now they kind of see the future of where it's going and if you were there and you went through like through some of
those times and you're like wow this is this is kind of like just repeating itself again but now
we can exchange it with some value which is way way better for everybody right yeah bro i grew up
in the i grew up in the punk scene skate scene like all that shit. Like, you know, we still sell like records,
like limited vinyl and like limited release, whatever,
hoodies type shit.
And it's like, I don't know.
It's a vibe, dude.
It's like a real human like experience.
Yeah, I had a record, a record shop.
It was called Contents.
It was a record shop with the graffiti stuff
and all those clothing lines, right?
So that's why I really, really resonate with all the people that are here
because I understand exactly where it's going to head.
And basically, that's the only thing I had to talk about and to say about,
hold on to some of the stuff that you really believe in,
and someday you might be holding the next big thing, thing you know so you know like a hundred percent and and raf like even just you know i've
been keeping tabs on what people like jesse pollock have been talking about about like you know we're
gonna bring a billion people on chain and um and and brian armstrong and and i just i see this is
i believe that's going to happen.
And not only that, like what they're also talking about is that they're going to be bringing equities on chain, right?
You're going to be able to change a trade coin based stock, maybe NVIDIA, like real fucking stocks on chain.
They're already doing it with Solana, right?
um i don't see why if you have like a value of certain digital art or meme tokens whatever that
you won't be able to swap fucking you know digital art that has an established value let's say it's
a weethe offer that sets it or whatever with um with an equity like i don't see why those things
aren't going to be possible to scale towards. I was thinking about print on demand.
Think about print on demand.
Like I want this graphic on a shirt, right?
Now I like maybe I got to pay because of – and so print – imagine taking NFTs, print on demand, and smart contracts.
So a smart contract allows for, oh, I minted that NFT.
It's the sick one and a bunch and a thousand
people want hoodies and so maybe a percentage goes to the original artist and a percentage
a small percentage goes the person who minted the nft or whatever and like dude there's just so much
that can happen like with the way all this shit is coming together like i want how like i would
wear this shit as like clothing you know what i mean? Or like there's just so many – it's just the beginning.
And once there's a market – like I'm a big believer in like show me the incentive and I'll show you the – show me the incentive and I'll tell you what the result is going to be, right?
going to be right so the more and more people who come on chain and start you know moving money
around and doing stuff they they equal you know incentive right those are that's a potential market
and um and that that's going to make stuff start happening and that's another that's why people
don't i don't think people fully understand like like the equity market for instance like people
like oh you're just speculating like people who short the market like a equity market, for instance, like people are like, oh, you're just speculating, like people who short the market, like a healthy market, a healthy liquid market
is the reason why the United States innovates. That's how all the innovation happens. People
throw money at stuff that they think is going to work. And some of it works, some of it doesn't.
But if these markets didn't exist, guess what? You see other countries that are not investable. They don't push forward. They don't push technology forward. They don't innovate. And what crypto allows is crypto mixed with AI. It's crazy to me because it allows for innovation on fucking exponential steroids steroids you see what i mean like it allows
money to move so fucking fast and frictionless information it allows it to move so fucking fast
and so frictionless like it's just my mind starts like malfunctioning when i when i actually start
trying to think about it you know what i mean um and this shit just gets me so excited sorry for
getting all philosophical but i love that i don't know it's no i get bricked up about it too um you know i saw i saw do do
brecks come in here man and like i just want to say like i don't know if you guys have been around
the stick figures for a while um but like Dubrex is just, he's a motherfucker
that a lot of motherfuckers that have been around
since the early days just feel at home with.
It's just like a motherfucker that just,
this is just the type of motherfucker
that anybody wants around them.
And then like, and he also loves motherfuckers right he under he
understands mfers in a way that i i have only heard people like um emily sardo's who have
different views and obviously sardo's view is through the lens of a disgusting purplehead
brilla pat motherfucker but you know even empress like these people have their own views and they they may not get along with everyone but they they love motherfuckers and
they resonate with a lot of the substance that that kind of um strikes my heart chords as well
and i think a lot of people that were involved with this collection the same but with dubrex like earlier on when we were in these bare spaces
like pre-fucking uh pre-pepe when we were getting rinsed by lascao and you know pre-nacamigos and
um just talking about motherfuckers and talking about the same similar stuff that we're just
shooting the shit about now but it
was really like you know 15 stick figures in the space late night or whatever and this one time
like like doobie dubrex made this insane fucking black and white shaded pencil like 3D sphere of a motherfucker head that was like, it's like a ball, but like the,
it was so powerful with the simplicity, which is motherfuckers, right? I had no idea this dude
was an artist, right? And he's like, you know, he's, he's, he's a dad, he's, you know, doing his
thing or whatever, right? He's not out here trying to be an artist.
But I was so, like, that piece stuck with me so much that when we were putting together this fucking collection six months ago,
I was just, I was like, dude, like, why wouldn't we feature a motherfucker's motherfucker who has been riding with Jungle Bay despite all the bullshit he understands where my intentions are and where the fucking spirit of the project has always remained.
And I reached out, I was like, yo, Doobie, would you be an artist in this fucking collection?
Because it wouldn't be the same without you.
And, you know, he's a busy motherfucker, right?
But the piece that he made is so fucking dank and is so motherfuckerish that whoever
mints that shit, just know you're holding a piece of motherfucker history.
And I hope that this also...
I watched Sarto do it too like
sardo was just like this fucking you know petulant little cunt that loved motherfuckers for a little
bit right and like he's very philosophical during the fucking blue days and this and that
and then he found his purple head and it's like that's like fucking you know i just that's like
the worst type of what's the transformer fucking optimist prime
of a purple head like that really gave startle his fucking sauce right but i just remember he
was still he he loves art and loves artists and loves like the mfers he throws so much
that he started fucking around with like glitch work and like then he started doing his own you
know just fucking around to find it out putting
shit on chain and i was like dude this dude has the fucking he's got it too right and i just
remember this one space where um sardo had made a few pieces by that point and he sold one for like
0.25 either 0.2 ether something that's something legit and i and he didn't know
his his mic was hot and he was telling his dad about it and it was just like such a such a
motherfucker moment man like you hear this dude that like is seeing in real time that he actually
has way more talent than he gave himself credit for, right? And that, I think, is something that, like, is a spirit of motherfuckers
that requires time, right?
Like, he put in the time.
He was deep in the granular fucking skills and talents
and different techniques of different artists in the space,
and then he started to try it himself.
And the first one, whatever, he just persisted.
He was dedicated to it.
I'm seeing Greenstaffer doing it right now with OK Computers
and making some of the dopest fucking DMT type of inspired fucking art on chain.
type of like inspired fucking art on chain that like I didn't even like I didn't even know that
that he had that type of depth in him I hate to put two purple fucking messy perps in a
positive light in one sentence but sometimes you know I can't ignore reality either right and these moments where you're in a group of builder motherfuckers
that just love this shit can end up sparking um creativity or talent or capability
in each of us individually that i i don't think we give each other enough credit for whether it's
because you got real life you're you're in your lane, you're doing, you got to focus on other stuff, whatever it is.
Or the medium of art on chain just wasn't there when you were initially kind of realizing, yo, I really love this art shit, right?
I think like it's the perfect balance of not yes men, fucking flappy birds.
Everything is great energy that is net destructive when you're around a group of people that are yes men.
Right. Like you're not going to be around a bunch of motherfuckers that tell you you're awesome when you're doing some mid shit.
Right. But there is a threshold where motherfuckers recognize persistence and time and proof of work in the form of having a dedication to your craft or your skill or whatever it is that's acknowledged differently than any other like group of people i've seen
or i've come across and so like when you know the initial jungle bay project
had imploded when the bear went down all these people were buttered and nobody's getting money
from it people think they need to get paid for there that nobody that they you know there's there's there was a an understanding
that we were gonna do this and we're gonna build something in response to a rug that was gonna be
you know community driven and people when stuff gets uncomfortable they start doing weird shit
and so i you know we had to buy out uh people that had control over certain aspects of it.
And then it was like, I'm just focusing this shit
on the ethos of MFers, and we're gonna focus on the art
and the artists and what it means to build something meaningful
over time that you're proud of.
And that's why this quote from Sartoshi is so important
and why it was highlighted for this collection.
Actually, I'm going to just quickly read the description rooted in the ethos MFers helped unlock.
And then this quote that a lot of us hold close to heart.
You can state a roadmap that says where you will go, but you can also plant seeds and see where they grow.
By Sartoshi.
That spirit lives here, not through imitation, but through intent.
Each piece was created independently, but released together.
Unified by respect, not rules.
Formed on Jungle Bay Island,
a metaphorical space where memes evolve without instruction.
The collection adds new layers to a lineage that never asked for permission.
This isn't about looking back.
It's about continuing the conditions that let culture grow.
And that I think kind of summarizes the spirit behind this tribute collection to MFers
from a very, like, varied group of digital artists.
Bro, it's so fucking sick.
Like, I'm bricked up.
Like, how are MFers not like,
like,
I just know,
like I've never felt more confident in the value of something that I've owned.
It's crazy.
And it happens to be a fucking JPEG of a stick figure.
I don't know,
but like,
I've always felt that I had some sort of ability,
you know,
I've been an artist for over 21 years.
Like that's my fucking day job
and you know it's nuanced and um and uh i don't know i don't know how to explain it but that's
of course i don't you know it's art type shit but um yeah i don't know how how mfers are still so
underappreciated it's one of those things where i kind of just giggle looking at
them like being a 0.4 floor for this long exactly all right exactly dude okay like as long as like
i got time that's the thing i got time that's the that's why you can't fuck with what we're doing
at jungle bay and mfers in general because like a lot of us understand that this is going to this may
take a while and that's OK. And it just gives up like, dude, if we didn't put in the reps for
these other two collections, this and this and this and whatever, there's there's no way that
I would have been positioned and just kind of like have a grasp on the whole vision of this
piece of the island efforts. Right. to to to initiate these relationships with with
coinbase and with rarible and hopefully that's going to open doors for a lot of the artists
individually i i really do believe it will yeah i'm on rarible right now looking at these getting
minted so fucking sick too the uh oh shit let me were, were there some recent men?
The last one I think, if I'm reading
this right, was Seeds
from the Medic Garden Fields.
Does that make your hair?
Oh, that's the one by Loground.
Is that the one
with the maze?
Yeah, the maze, yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, bro. these are so sick you guys uh I just oh look at this one trippy trippy enough for oh I see Empress just
got what got trippy enough for let's. That's a supernova shroom.
Fields.
I blend.
Sardo.
I haven't seen.
I don't remember this field keepers one.
Oh, that's Habari Vision.
That's right.
That's Habari.
Look at that, man.
It's so sick.
How much are these bad boys?
They're .0369 well you know we're we take our mean numbers seriously man and uh yeah it's it's uh 369 101s i don't know if you
guys have looked into the fucking uh stories of nikola tesla and his infatuation with the word
with the number three six numbers three six nine but it's worth a google if you haven't gone down
that rabbit hole um yeah man like look i'm just gonna keep this open. Kaz, I appreciate you, you know, shooting the shit on this
because this came out of left field.
Like, I love, like, these variable guys are awesome,
but we were supposed to go with FXHash initially,
and then they had some technical issues,
and then we were starting to build our own one that coinbase
said they would help us feature but it just wasn't going to be the same thing and then
the guy from coinbase had said like yo actually we have a call next week with rarible could be a
really good fit and then they loved it and so like it's been relatively recent though when we had that
pivot and like onboarding the collection and getting you know names right and
files right and all that shit that's involved and then like the fact they went and waived their
platform fee which is 20 which is not small right like it's so dope to see that even like a platform
what the fuck well that's it was it's a it's a standard fee that they charge because i guess
there's like some featuring that they do that makes a material difference and that's why
some artists decide to um go there but the fact they waived it 100 okay so they do some like
they like do some advertising or some marketing or something yeah yeah i think like with their
collaborations they do that and they
decided to waive it on this and like the guy from rareable jonathan who's like
he's awesome man and like all like just working so hard on this rollout and this like
effort that they're doing for on-chain summer like he's all about the artists. And it's clear, like, Rarible is focused on artists for this next chapter, too.
And obviously, like, bass is focused on creators.
And it's fucking fun to see that, you know,
we have a chance to scale this, to grow the garden, right?
And, like, you really need to have these catalysts
of initiating the
rapport and figure like having an opportunity to collaborate and test you know fuck around
to find out make sure that the people are competent like you know on our end with them
which we we did relatively well minus a couple last minute changes to like bios and stuff but all in all man like it was it was dope
and these guys i mean they they're featuring it bro like if you go to rareable.com like this
shit comes up right away on the fucking home page like i'm like damn that's that's fucking crazy um
yeah it's it's as front page as you can fucking be it's like it's right there
where we'll right there right on the phone it's kind of nuts it's like yeah so i don't know man
if anyone wants to come up uh maybe i'll like i have one more fucking stretch i don't want to
just drag it on um i appreciate everyone coming and tuning in, but like,
I just wanted people to be aware that this is live and have the context of how much work
and how much fucking love went into the creation of this collection
and the different types of artists that participated is fucking crazy.
And I hope that people show some support.
In transparency, the way we're doing it is that 90% of the proceeds go to the artists and then based on the amount of a piece they did,
they got selected and then 10% to the Jungle Bay Treasury, which we're going to use to
buy MFR and hold it for future MFR as shit.
So that's how the mint proceeds are going to be distributed.
And yeah, man, it's a labor of love.
And, you know, with long-term horizon insight.
And that's kind of the context, man.
I don't know if anyone else has questions about the collection or whatever come up.
I see a lot of the artists in the fucking building right now, man.
It's just like, it's so fucking, I feel very lucky to be able to just be in the orbit of
these motherfuckers that are so crazy talented and have a dank and deep understanding of the origin of these memes and how powerful the concept of mimetic sorcery can be.
I mean, we're seeing it happen with no budget, no nothing, dude.
Just by showing up and making undeniable shit over time.
And, yeah, man, that's pretty much it so if no one else wants to
come i also know it's during the day right now like it's motherfuckers are probably you know
whether you're working or whatever uh i get it um but i hope that that you take the time to just check out the collection.
And maybe we'll open up another space.
Oh, wait.
We got Sarto coming up.
Oh, shit.
Young Sartocrates.
How we doing?
What's even going on?
I jumped online.
I just got back in town.
I jumped on to kind of like.
Where were you?
I was out with my dad and my brother out in Colorado on like a fishing trip, which was really awesome.
But anyway, that's not important.
Did you like apologize to the fish like a messy burp?
Of course.
I say thank you.
You catch the fish.
I say thank you, fish. You messy burp. Of course. I say thank you. You catch the fish. I say thank you fish.
You need air conditioning. I'm sorry if it was uncomfortable, but this is really
pleasurable and it's great to see your beautiful fish. And then you like say thank you and you put
it back. Yeah, nice. No, no, no. Okay. No, but honestly, I just wanted to like, I miss like,
you're always like, and I always appreciate it.
You're always keeping me in the loop on, like, what Jungle Bay happenings, but it's hard to keep up exactly what's what for me.
So what is this?
There's, like, three, there's, what, this is 300 or something, 369 one-on-ones?
Is that what I just read?
Yes, sir, man.
Okay.
So it's 369 one-on-ones from uh just under 40 i think it's 38 artists um and the
artist names are included if you look go to the third from the left those are all the participating
artists so like you know something we got some you know og motherfucker uh artists like manic and
ray larsdom and um uh i mean you can see the names there yeah yeah i mean i i i know yeah
i mean i was just kind of uh yeah yeah yeah fucking awesome i love the randomized aspect of
it too that's so fun right like you don't know which artist you don't know what it's going to be
but all just you you are going to know that every know that every single one of those one-on-ones took the artist a significant amount of effort and time.
The bar that these guys impose on themselves is evident throughout the process. is that in this like private Discord channel that we have to just kind of like get everything together,
we have this, one of the channels we call The Garden,
where, you know, once an artist had created a piece,
they would upload it there.
And so you have this like energy of people seeing
like how much they're stretching the limits,
you know, their version the limits, you know, their version that they're
You know, because we intentionally kept the guidelines
Motherfucker is right. It's just like do whatever is gonna be a
Dope tribute to motherfuckers essentially
To MFers that was the concept for this like the prom right kind of gave the artists for this one right and it was like
We definitely wanted to not feel like a PFP
because like dude
How many MF derivative PFP?
The one I got is like a PFP style one I guess but it's literally called God
it's fucking awesome
It's fucking awesome
there definitely are some PFPs
no I'm planning on minting a couple more
I kind of wanted to watch it play out though
for a little while
and maybe get a random lucky mint
you know
100% and the Rarible guys
they said that they
take randomization very seriously
so these have been shaken and stirred
nicely
but yeah so like even the PFPs, though, it's not like you have a bass, right?
And then you're like doing a bunch of different traits on them.
These are like individually.
No, no.
The one I minted, I just minted it in a PFP style, but it feels like a one-on-one.
It's a pixelated MF-er with like a, a halo, and, like, it's called God.
It's pretty wild.
I'm like, what?
But, yeah, I'm just starting to look through these.
It's awesome.
Who's the artist on the one that you meant?
Let me see.
I just have it open here.
I didn't even notice the first look.
I got to switch notice the first look. I gotta switch tabs.
Activity.
This one
is by
creator.
Where does it say? Oh, here.
Dean.
At admin. Yeah. Yeah. creator where does it say oh here dean oh at admin yeah yeah he's dean is dope wow and you wrote a description about all the each one of these artists individually every piece has our
artist bio included you know just just trying to um, while it's so dope that everybody lends a hand to what we're doing,
I never want this to be like, oh, this is Jungle Bay's roster.
It's like, nah, these motherfuckers like to come put their feet up on the shores of Jungle Bay,
but they're individually building themselves as artists in the space,
and we just hope to add some extra heat to their
efforts. I'll just go out there and say that I think
it stands...
I don't even
think it's arguable that the
preeminent art collective in
crypto right now is fucking
called Jungle Bay.
It's crazy.
It's crazy to hear.
That's hard to hear even like at this point
how could you even argue with that like actually on paper i mean that's that's how i view it bro
and i know obviously you do but you know and you're not gonna you're biased but like but i'm
just saying like from my standpoint it's true like i don't it's culture guys and this is like a real this is real culture
being built it's it's awesome to see like it's a scene like in punk we call like a punk scene like
you have like oh like this you know that scene is cool like in the southern california punk scene
or like chapters like this or that like you know what i mean like this is like a legitimate
like an art scene that's being built it being built and it's being put on chain
as is a primary
feature of the
I guess we could call it a genre
or something but in terms of you know
creating a
like a record and like there being a history
and all the I mean I'm looking through
even the ones that have been minted already and there's
so much to unpack just even
in these few pieces that I can even
trace on chain, like, and through, you know, it's just pretty incredible.
Yeah. And, you know, the, and I think you missed this, but I,
and I don't, I'm sorry if I'm being redundant, but honestly,
like Sarto says someone that I want that the context because he's
been you know he got farcaster ridge and he's been like on the front lines of a lot of these
base initiatives um but like i just reached out to jesse pollock and kind of gave the bird's eye
view about what we were doing and showed a couple you know showed a couple sneak
peeks uh of some pieces and he's like this is dope like and we were gonna launch it in june
and he you know on our own he was like yo you guys should hold this off and let's do something
with it for on chain summer i was like what yeah then he looped in his guys his guy bradley from
fuck yeah. Then he looped in his guys, his guy Bradley from the base creator partnerships.
And we were talking about different options. And then they had a call with Rarible and presented
the collection to Rarible and Jonathan from Rarible and his team, like they loved it.
And so I've been back and forth with Jonathan, like just prepping for it. And then they ended
up fucking featuring it's on the Rarible homepage, and they said that it's going to be the first collection that drops on Rarible's mini app.
Oh, yeah, that's what I was actually just thinking.
Actually, the other question I had, did I hear something about a mini app?
What was that?
Yeah, so Rarible's mini app is called Minter.
Minter.
And when they do this
on-chain summer launch
tomorrow morning, you know,
for the kickoff,
they are...
This is going to be the first
feature collection on that.
Of course,
that's a reference. If anybody...
I don't know, maybe it's worth providing a little context
about the TBA
launch
with the app.
And the background there is that MiniApps, which was developed,
had been for a past while being developed on the primary kind of thing
that's going on in Farcaster for quite a while.
I found Farcaster kind of boring in this period of time,
but that is the one thing that is
pretty exciting they're being they have been building out and it's getting integrated into
the big base app thing that we're all going to find out about in the next couple days it's funny
you say that because like yes it's boring but it's also like you gotta be someone that really
is geeked out about this stuff to go there.
So it ended up being a bit of a distilling vehicle to at least be an intersection point for people that were building on base.
So I think it was an important chapter.
Oh, definitely. And they're literally using Farcaster's like, you know, under the hood for what's going to be all these many apps and the social aspects of this app, which is a little bit boring I have noticed that the many
Oh, definitely.
the development of many apps and the integration coming with Coinbase wallet or whatever the new
name of it is and everything is going to be pretty you know it's pretty significant and that's pretty
and pretty cool the one thing I do like consist I still go and consistently check on Farcaster like
maybe once a day or every day at least
but it's usually just looking for what's going on with the mini apps so anyway
that's part of why I was asking that you know like how those are gonna plug in
no I actually don't have the beta access either I think I kind of just fumbled
when I was so I have I have beta so you're in on the app okay sorry I didn't
let you finish your question well no I'm just saying So you're in on the app? Okay. Sorry, I didn't let you finish your question then.
Well, no, I'm just saying, like, do you know how the Farcaster stuff? Because I know, like, it doesn't have, like, fully have everything that I think is going to be included.
But, like, do you know how it's going to, like, the Farcaster mini apps are going to relate with, like, within Coinbase Wallet?
My understanding is that it's literally the same. late with like within Coinbase wallet or like my understanding doing their own mini apps.
My understanding is that it's literally the same being just like plugged into it.
So it's an extension capability.
Yeah, they're just using like Farcaster, like integrating it into it.
So all the, and Banker is included in this.
Of course, Banker is getting a special kind of feature with with it the app because of the chat aspect of it and whatnot, but
My understanding at least I'm not I'm not an authority and I don't know 100%
Don't gloss over that motherfucker. Can you put these guys on to what what is going to be possible with banker?
With with this so X so bit so there's two things, the way I'm thinking about it at least, in my perspective.
Again, I haven't engaged directly with the beta of the app myself, but my understanding
is the two things that are really exciting is the mini apps, firstly, and then secondly,
The mini apps firstly and then secondly in mini app slash Farcaster
Backbone like integration
Literally operating as a Farcaster client
Then the second thing is XMTP messaging which is and I'm not
Probably very well spoken on saying what exactly it is,
but it's like a universal on-chain messaging protocol.
So Banker checking both of those boxes and also being just what it is,
is a big feature on the coming app because Banker works with X tp messaging um so that means banker can come to
there we'll have group chats um the mini apps uh and banker all like kind of all kind of i'm excited
to see it i haven't seen it firsthand um somebody's messaging me now telling me to talk about so so
can you like actually talk in a language with any motherfucker with without some phone?
Yeah, so like tweet basically like you'll get on the bit
So you'll get on that this app this app is like the wallet the new their new the new
Coinbase the new version of the coinbase wallet that'll have messaging
that'll have messaging.
Banker will literally be in your group chats
Banker will literally be in your group chats.
Direct integration with any of these mini apps
that have been being developed on Farcaster
as well as the Farcaster feed itself.
It's all just going to be integrated in there.
And I haven't firsthand played with this,
so it's hard to say what exactly that'll look like.
I mean, dude, to be able to do like
gated giveaways and stuff in a gc or something like that is such a cool concept getting into
group chats with banker in the thing banker in there with you is something i've been
kind of fantasizing or just kind of like you know know, like, like imagining about what, how that'll
play out for a long time.
Because back along a while back, like, like Deployer made Banker workable in Farcaster
direct messages, like, a while back.
Not as early as you, but it was like November.
And we were like asking about whether it'd be possible to integrate that with X, and it's
just with X, it's too complicated with the API stuff for DMs and whatnot.
But the whole concept, the idea, what if you're in a group chat with your trading buddies and
bankers live within the app? Anchors live with...
Sardo, did you cut out or did I?
Is that my fucking shit?
I can hear you. I think Sardo cut out.
Fucking classic, man.
Honestly, like... I switched over.
Can you hear me now?
Yeah.
Well, I was just kind of then going off on kind of the things,
the thoughts a lot of us have had about what happens when Banker gets into your group chat, you know, and you, with your trading buddies or maybe specific ones. And then like,
like, like Stallone was just reminding me about Polygon. Imagine you're in a group with like
your buddies trading and stuff and you're, have Banker Live in there and you're placing bets on different polygon markets
um and and like i don't know you can
that's coming soon that's very soon you can even use banker as like a broker for bets like i hesitate
to even suggest too many ideas because i'm just excited to see what happens because I don't even know like there's so many
Different things that we can play with
Yes, it's true. I mean the fact that you could do it on using up
Doing like poly market bets is so crazy. I can't even imagine what that's gonna unlock and you want to talk about mind share like
That is next level shit, you know, holy shit the player just did his first public like demonstration of a polygon uh bet actually what was two minutes ago he put five he said yo
at banker bot put five dollars on no on the uh trump epstein files made public in 2025
market yes or no but he's demonstrating that it's working now
was it successful did he get the receipt i just saw the banker replied said i've placed your five
bet on no but i don't see the on-chain receipt yet i'm gonna check yeah check that because well
i mean this is this is uh live news breaking news so we're
watching monitoring the situation coming to you live from jungle bay island so epic dude like i
cannot wait for football season to just be making all my sports bets can you imagine right and then
people can just post to reply like you know do ten dollars for me too like oh my god bro
that's not even my scene like with sports betting and stuff but like i have a lot of friends who are
into that and like i can just like imagine like they can do everything just like within the chat
like you're it's so degenerate but it's still fucking exciting right like god like like uh
like you said dude for mindshare like people
love like that just spreads you out like the epstein files are obviously fucking hella
viral you know what i mean football hella viral soccer hella viral like you just start and people
are like whoa this how this person just placed a bet by just putting this text on the timeline like
it's gonna it could bring in a huge demographic like
all sorts of different demographics crazy shit totally it by the way i wanted to just like look
at this fucking one that ink just uh minted he got the ray lars dem one look at this shit
it's at the top of the mountain.
Crazy.
This is in this collection from Ray?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, crazy.
Damn.
No, crazy.
Crazy, no pun intended.
Oh, yeah.
Good one. Good one.
I got one from Jam X that was like, it's like this, this like black and white, kind of like a Yuzo style.
I guess I got to fucking find it and post it. There's no, like, why would I describe it?
It's like describing a movie.
Like, why the fuck would I do that?
Let me just find it real quick.
FLA, what's up, my brother?
How are you?
Good to see you.
What's up, my boy?
How you doing, dog?
I'm trying to get me one of these damn things in this.
Oh, you see Rarible got us right on that fucking, that front page?
Oh, dude, Klaus got that pepe effort from fucking, uh,
and that shit's so dank. There are some really crazy Oh, dude, Klaus got that pepe effort from fucking MSS.
So dang. There are some really crazy ones, dude.
Is Rarible like
just a printing platform?
Just Rarible.com.
Who was...
Wasn't it... Sorry, it's just a little bit
random talk about it. Remember when El Marto
did that coffee thing
collab with
Rarible way back when?
Yeah, like way back. I mean, Rarible's been around.
They were the ones that I used before I even knew about OpenZ in 2019.
But the problem was you didn't know what was a real collection.
There was a lot of different things where you could kind of get wrecked on that
because it was easy to make replicas and stuff.
Oh, I mean, especially at that time.
I'm just recalling that there's a longstanding relationship
between MFers and Rarible.
Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.
And whoever, I mean, they got this guy, Jonathan Colon,
and they clearly are focused on they got this guy jonathan cologne and um they clearly
are focused on the artists for this next fucking like chapter of of rare boy it really is like
dope to see um that coming into into play i'm i'm just also trying to download what i just
uh minted from fucking jam x because it's so badass, man. Hold on, let me see.
I got a question. It's kind of
unrelated or hella unrelated.
What the fuck? I heard
some rumor, I don't know if it was a rumor
or if it was real about Coinbase
about to start letting people trade
on DEXs.
Like basically
on base chain, like trade
like, you know, all the...
That's correct. They're integrating the
dex straight into the
coinbase
like normie. So all the mean coins
effectively...
Basically, I think maybe it'll roll out.
It depends on how to roll. Maybe it'll be like everything
that's on Aerodrome at first.
Maybe it'll be everything.
Because I know Aerodrome's playing a big role in this.
To me,
that's like the biggest news of all time.
Like I feel like.
I know,
right?
Like I think the market was kind of dipping when that announcement was made.
Like for Mean Coins,
how much bigger can it be?
Like that's,
that's the biggest amount of liquidity becoming overnight.
Like available to trade meme coins.
My personal, like, anecdote, my personal anecdote was, like,
it's funny that CKOS mentioned my dad earlier from that one story,
but I talk to my dad about this stuff every so often.
He's, you know, he's a boomer and whatever,
but he, like, also, he holds Bitcoin and some ETH and whatever.
He uses, like, the coinbase app regular
style you know like just the sex yeah and um but uh he's heard me talking i've told him about like
banker uh dick butt and stuff back when like that was stuff was getting started and he was like well
i want to buy some of those things and And it was like, well, okay.
That was even before it was easy with Banker.
It's like, well, then I would have to teach you to use, like, a Dex
and, like, get a, like, you know, a real, like, custodial wallet
and learn about connecting your wallet to the Dex
and all the different little things.
And it's just like, okay, that's not going to happen.
But, like, now it's like everything will be available.
Like, he'll be able to buy Banker
He'll be able to buy Dickbutt things he's heard me talk about straight from the Coinbase
Yep regular
That's that's huge that's a huge unlock in my mind like
My dad was like my dad like I was in the stuck in the car with my dad like a while back at one point when
I was really excited about Banker and what's happening and i was rambling about it to him or something he's like okay well like i want to buy
some of this like how do i do that and i'm like well okay but now it's like now it's like that
but then once that happens it'll be the same way you know how to buy you know when you're dcaing
your eith eith or whatever you've been doing on there so i'm actually i should ask him again what he's
been doing i'm not even sure i bet he's been buying shit i swear like almost everyone i
talk to about this shit it's not that they don't want to participate it's not like they don't want
to like you know throw their fucking hat in the ring it's just that they think like uh you know
i'm busy i don't have time to learn. Like, it seems confusing. Like,
that's what's so significant about banker, right? It's like, and about really where tech is going in general with AI agents, like in headless websites, et cetera, et cetera, vibe coding,
yada, yada, is it breaks down all these barriers. And once again, what that does for demand, right? I mean, at the end of the day,
all this shit is just, it's a big supply and demand game. And the fact that people feel like
they're not capable of simply buying the asset obviously takes down a massive portion of potential demand.
And that is going to go away very fast and very aggressively fast because of the way stuff like bankers, not only making it easy,
but it's making it easy right there on social media for all to see.
Yeah.
And at least at this moment before like things really change,
like, like, I think all the talk about getting Coinbase listings or whatever
is going to become a thing of the past really fast.
But at this particular moment,
I think there's a lot of liquidity waiting to have easier access
to a lot of these things that just out of sheer,
even just because of the little bit of friction
you know, that has prevented
it from
you know, moving there yet.
Sarto and company, check
out the second to the
left one
I posted that I minted from
Jam X, man. Look at this shit.
Hum X! Oh, this is a
banger.
Isn't that crazy? Oh, that's hard the black and white joy. Whoa
Yeah, dude
If you guys get all the coinbase motherfuckers town to fucking fix that app
I've been buying fucking hundreds of thousands of dollars of crypto on there and I feel like I'm a fucking Walmart with all their promotional bullshit
I just want to buy Solana
or Ethereum
just basic shit
that's all we want
just pivot to banker
it'd be a good idea to approach
the company or the
fucking organization that
is the most powerful crypto
engine in the world and is and is engaged
with jungle bay island and featuring the artists to tell them to fix their shit that would make
a whole lot of sense yeah oh yeah to fucking stop selling my information about every 10 seconds
i'm gonna be like yo raf said yelling yelling at the uh coinbase elites is a total great use of my energy, isn't it?
Yeah, tell them Raph is disappointed in them for sure.
Oh, well, if they were to fucking look at to see how much money I spend with the motherfuckers,
maybe they'd listen, you know what I mean?
Fucking idiots.
You're funny.
They won't.
You can just use Banker now, though.
Exactly.
With my Visa card or whatever, I can just load my visa card on there yeah yeah there's like a 500
dollar a day limit or something a day i spend thousands of dollars bro i don't
deal with that shit i got you know what i mean well then you know deal with the uh
coinbase elites you go get them go Go, or, you know, figure out another route.
Bro.
That's so funny.
I don't know.
I feel you, Raph, but I'm not about to rock the boat.
Bass is like, yo, what's up, Jungle Bay?
We got you. I'm not going to tell them to fix their shit. I yo, what's up, Jungle Bay? We got you.
I'm not going to tell them to fix their shit.
I'm going to be like, hey, y'all keep cooking, man.
There's too many options available, too, to get hung up on those issues in particular.
You've been in crypto, too.
And then you end up missing the forest for the trees.
And you end up missing the forest for the trees.
These motherfuckers are literally, they made it where you can place a fucking order on Polymarket on the timeline.
And you're talking about some fucking centralized bullshit right now.
I don't know, bro.
Like, this is crazy.
Yeah, sorry about that.
I do have a lot of fucking, I have a big stake in Polygon's tale, so thank you.
Good, man.
I'm glad.
Let me pump your bags then. Polygon is sales, so thank you. Good, man. I'm glad. Let me pump your bags then.
Polygon is bullish, in my opinion.
I don't know.
Well, I'm bullish on Polymarket.
I can't really speak to beyond Polymarket, but I think that Polymarket's going to do some crazy shit.
And it's also been, like, one of the most accurate indicators on a ton of fucking, like, cultural shit recently.
That's pretty interesting like
who needs polling where they're calling people definitely i thought i mean you know it's the
obvious thing to cite but the uh what happened with the election and polymarket was pretty
remarkable polymarket had it like locked in like like well well before the mainstream media and
everything like it knew it knew exactly what was going down well it's that idea of skin in the game locked in well before the mainstream media and everything.
It knew exactly what was going down.
Well, it's that idea of skin in the game, right?
That's how you can really measure fucking sentiment.
Where are people putting their money?
And that is something that doesn't need to have a personality.
Well, it sure as hell isn't perfect, that's for sure, but it does.
I agree.
It gives a lot more yeah 100 100 with you why you why do you need everything to
be perfect startled like i don't i don't i'm i'm commenting on this fucking does that comment okay
you want me to explain where that comment came from johnny utopia over here like like
is the anticipation of the naysayers what No, I will not make out with you.
Okay.
Okay.
Polygon is, I mean, polymarket, prediction markets are based.
Is that what you want me to say?
That was well said.
Damn, sorry.
You've been coming with some hot takes today.
That was really insightful.
No, but seriously,'s not obviously not perfect but um i don't i don't think that
anything is is needs to be perfect it needs to be fucking reliable and the more dynamic of a data
collection and gauge parameter whatever it is that you're you have as tools at your fingertips
i mean do some people still don't understand. The fact that now we have this becoming a multi-trillion dollar asset class and you have the type of
insight into the nuances of the more innovative stuff that's materializing, that is called
arbitrage, my friends. That is where you fucking understand what you believe in or you understand
what you're investing in. You develop a thesis.
You understand the tools at your disposal that are unprecedented and you are
able to fucking assess the creative, the competitive landscape,
especially then also having AI to do it,
to help you do it and sift through a lot of the heavy lifting that you'd have
to do fucking Google and shit and doing whatever like that.
The data aggregation is,
is so insane if you know how to harness this
shit and they're the the bar of doing so is really not that fucking high
i feel like people don't understand how excited i am to place my
niners bets i was about to ask you have you tried it yet kaz have you i'm trying to test one i'm not
sure if it went no i haven't people are so underexposed to Banker.
Let me give you a little bit of alpha.
Please, go ahead.
Just turn on notifications for the Deployer and pay attention to what is brewing.
That's all I've pretty much done for a long time.
He's such a fucking innovative Chad that just ships and doesn't talk about
shipping it's it's so refreshing because you rarely come across motherfuckers that operate
at that caliber and then when he does it was like a couple days ago the way it's for it's it's like
the way it's presented is like should oh i'm just testing this out this like seems to be working
should we ship this next week? It's, like...
Like, what is his...
And then, like, two days later, it's, like, he's ripping it already.
What is his background?
Like, how is he so good at that shit?
Like, I don't understand.
Like, I'm...
I'm not qualified to give you a, like...
I know.
I don't...
You know, a very, like't know you know a very like thorough
you know like uh but he's talked about his past he's been around just for a really long time and
been built he he built what was it he built that he sold i think it was uh it was something related
to nft trading tech that he built or something that he sold just like some big bigger company or
something like that um early on and then he's alluded to things like he got he applied to
i think it was uniswap to like try to be on their team and like got rejected he referred to that
recently um he's just a real motherfucker like a really brilliant mfer that's just a real motherfucker, like a really brilliant MF-er that's just been balls deep in crypto and a really talented coder.
So impressive, dude.
And he's just kept cooking despite, he's had a lot thrown at him too.
And I think he's the type of MF-er that every time he's been faded by some of these, you know, big shots elites in the scene uh has just made him go harder
you know like you know like i see like green suffer has been like deep in the okay computers
like stuff i know you have been a little bit too but like i i feel like i went the same way with
banker and like testing out what the capabilities are of a airdrop, like how you can do the airdrops and the type of response that you can get, the type of engagement, but also conversion that you can get off of a banker airdrop is so slept on right now compared to any other way that someone with a relatively small audience can generate attention towards
something it's really fucking crazy like it feels like hacking the matrix um he is and he and he knew
he was doing that too i think the there was this all was this was all like prototyped back on
farcaster is the thing um i saw personally my view about i mean i could go off on this for a while but just very in brief
like my view is like i got into farcaster and the the degen air airdrop quote unquote or was
degen was extremely compelling to me and it just kind of worked out that i got in a position like
i was moderating a channel for somebody and they were paying Indigen chips tips which was I
just thought was super cool at the time I had no expectation that was about well it would do like
that to be able to do it exactly yeah we're basically just kind of in turning turning the
airdrop concept on its head where it's like rather than having some arbitrary, like, written out, like, parameters
that just, like, simply just distribute this amount of funds to everybody,
it put it in the hands of the actual users to do the distributing,
which is genius.
It was the whitelist where you just have Muppets fucking clicking buttons
with no actual affinity and connection that they feel to the...
And we know how those kinds of airirdrop, it's not rocket science.
Like, you know, the tendency then is that you have a bunch of farmers that claim a bunch
of distributed tokens and then they dump them very quickly.
Like, Degen just kind of changed, I think, the whole mindset about that by, with their
airdrop, like, you know, whatever big pool they had reserved for their airdrop like you know whatever big pool they had reserved for
the airdrop distribution parts they did it over a long-term way but they like but over a long
period of time they just gave allocation amounts to the actual users to distribute to other users
it wasn't yours it was like like points. And so like that,
I got a gig just like helping moderate a channel and like do a D D spamming
and stuff.
And I was getting paid in D gen tips.
That's kind of like where things,
but then I saw what deployer was doing and I was like,
okay,
this is like from that same concept,
but he's taking it to like a far much, like, deeper level of sophistication.
And this guy is brilliant.
And, of course, as soon as I, like, rotated most of my DGIN earnings over to TN100X, it all crashed.
But I hung around just because, like, I knew he was cooking.
So this is all a long time coming.
Like, he studied the intricacies of, like, airdrop mechanism.
Like, not just studied, but, like, tried all these different things
that nobody else is willing to.
And I'm super bullish for that reason on the –
I didn't even expect it to be a thing, but until just recently, the whole banker rewards program.
That's something he knows how to do really right, having had all that experience, which is – but now I'm off on it.
But you're getting your fucking messy burp tangents.
The whole point of this was that banker is underpriced right now.
That's true because there's a fucking uh a percentage fee with every transaction that banker processes and they're going to be extending out to doing fucking five dollar bets ten dollar bets
on sports games and stuff which is now oh and you were talking about also there was the aspect of
you were kind of commenting on how some of the smaller people have an opportunity you know to really level up oh yeah these things and that's so true so true it's another it's a
mechanism to help quality rise to the top amongst the fucking oversaturated noise of attention and
fake followers and that type of bullshit right like it's a it's a it's a way that you can and
that's what like technology does like you introduce new technology, then you have access to be able for everyone to make fucking music with a microphone on their fucking computer.
So then you get a bunch of shitty rap songs and freestyles and shit.
But then you have the evolution of that space and how Spotify curates playlists and whatever else that it is, algorithms that are able to identify like the engagement and what the retention
is and all these things, right?
And so like the new innovation then demands for new innovation to complement it
to help quality rise to the top.
And I think we're seeing that as Banker as a major contributor to that process.
I think it's time to mint another one of these.
I kind of want to see what you get.
I just minted like four more of them.
I'm pacing it.
I'm going to do probably like total maybe three, maybe four of them,
but I'm pacing it out because I want to get lucky.
Let's see. Well, then the logic of that makes no sense, maybe four of them, but I'm pacing it out. I want to get lucky, you know?
Let's see.
Well, then the logic of that makes no sense,
but I understand, like, from a vibes perspective.
It's completely vibes.
There's no logic to what I just said.
Damn, dude, Klaus just got the one that Cordova made of the hoodie MF-er fucking walking into sunset.
Look at this one, man.
This is one of my favorites, obviously.
It's not just because it's a black hoodie black quote mfer but the the tone of it let me fucking i'm gonna just download
this because it's so sick uh and post it yeah i will i will what's fucking crazy too about the
shit that deployer is doing it's like dude this shit transcends like DGens or like people who trade crypto. It's like, it's better.
This is a better way to do things like on the internet.
Like imagine like right now, for instance, if I want to place a bet, I got to call my,
I got to call my girl in fucking New York.
She's got to place it for me through her thing.
Like, like it's just more like, it's a funner way to bet like to sports but you put it on the
timeline everybody can can see your wager talk about it like it's a more fun way to bet sports
or anything for that matter to make a joke like even like the one he just did like little five
dollar wager on the fucking epstein file like that's a fucking joke that's a funny way to meme like it's like
it's this isn't this is this like transcends like our little like scene here in crypto absolutely
yeah it's useful both for uh well for some of us it depends on i think some people are scared of it
because it's gonna wreck their livelihood potentially um and they can get fucked um
in my personal opinion but that's a whole other story
but uh yeah no it's true this is i'm just posting this because it's so fucking some of these pieces
man are just crazy like ham x fucking his are just next level. Just the way that people come at approaching, you know,
what MFers represents or how it resonates with them or what, like, you know,
lack of a concise framework allows artists to do with, you know,
however MFers has slapped for them, you know.
It's really crazy to see this coming out now.
Damn, the hoodie walking in the sunset
looks like he's in LA or something.
Yeah, I just pinned it.
It might take two seconds.
I'm here on Rarible.
I just keep refreshing the activity page.
Oh, yeah, look.
Bro, how the fuck?
This is creepy, dude.
I just mentioned my second.
The first one, I got the god.
Oh, you got the hell king.
And then I got hell king.
What the fuck is going on?
It's like spooky. I got like the...
What the hell is going on?
What the hell is going on?
Let me see. I want to see.
I think it's the most recent bit.
I got the god and I got hell king.
Oh, how is that possible?
How is that possible?
Yo, that's crazy.
What are the odds, bro? Like literally one in three hundred.
Literally what are the odds?
I got God and Satan.
Look at the one on the top of the mountain that Klaus fucking minted.
Yo. Yo.
Wow.
That fucking sick.
The reset, just walking in the sunset.
Yeah, the infinite gift walking in the sun.
That's probably my favorite one, yeah.
That sun, the sun.
A flat mouth, flat mouth, motherfucker.
And you see the stars just starting to show up in the top right like it's such a just caught this fucking slice of a of a moment that it's just
i don't know it's fucking crazy no i go congrats this collection i can already tell is fucking
like this is this is cool man honestly i hope it doesn't even mint out too fast because like
me too i it's fun like i think that when people see how dynamic the different
styles are like hopefully it becomes something where they're just checking in to see what was
minted just because it's like undeniably high high fucking impact art man um and anyone that
loves mfers i think it just will will resonate with um the type of fucking memetic sorcery that has
been infused in this shit dude that homie who got that homie right oh sorry sorry no i'm just
no what no you live in la right doesn't that look like santa monica like the little rail
yeah it does it does well i started what did you just ask who's got what i was asking who got the
uh homiex one the mrance, because this is fucking epic.
Oh, which one is it?
Hold on, let me check.
The one you were just telling me to look at it a minute ago.
Oh, no, I was just talking about, in general, the Hamex ones.
I didn't know that one just minted, so I got to check which one you're talking about.
It was a few minutes ago.
It's the one, the Entrance one.
It's nuts.
Oh, okay, that one.
Yeah, yeah, I see what you mean.
That one.
That's one I minted.
Oh, you got that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
GGs.
That's beauty.
Holy shit.
It's fire.
The pepper is cool.
Pasta just got a Hoy Dog Matrix Explorer.
This one is sick.
If you actually look at the details
on this fucking MF
or it's crazy.
And that's the thing.
Even though
some of them are PFPs, each one of these
are fucking...
They're an individual
piece that's staying on
their own.
You could call Raze a PFP if you wanted.
Raze is crazy.
It's insane.
That's the other one I'm really jealous of.
He is just fucking nuts.
There are plenty that have yet to be minted.
Dude, Ray Meshaka did four or five epic fucking Spongebob-themed MFers.
I know it doesn't sound like it would slap, but they're fucking amazing.
They slap so fucking hard.
They're so crazy, dude.
It's really fucking funny, man.
I'm tripping out that I minted the two from the same artist, and it's
God insane. That's so weird.
That's such a fucking thing to happen.
What the fuck?
How'd you do that?
And this is like, I don't know.
I just...
I'm excited also to see how
they featured on this mini-app tomorrow.
Right.
I don't even know what to say,
but I'm looking forward to
finding out.
Is the Rarible mini-app
live on Farcaster already?
I believe so. It's called Minter.
I haven't checked on mini-app.
What the fuck's a mini-app? Sorry, I'm stupid.
I don't know what the fuck.
That's so interesting. It's farcasters
Thing for the past while kind of and it's all getting integrated into the TBA
We're gonna find we're gonna find out firsthand soon. Dude, it's cuz dude I I
Don't eat what do you what does that mean to be bad at farcaster? Actually? I don't know. I I just don't do it nobody talked nobody in early in or interacts with you is what you mean probably
yeah and I don't like have very many friends and shit on there which is true out from fucking
rareball look at that just posted or pinned I don't know if you guys already saw this but
it's pretty fucking crazy man that's that's sick wait what is the mini app going to be called? I'm just seeing if it is. It's called M-I-N-T-R.
Minter.
Minter.
It is here.
It is here.
Oh, it is?
Sorry.
Is, like, do you have it?
Well, let me, I'll add it too.
I'm saving the mini app right now.
I'm cautious to ask you.
Y'all are on the top of the app.
No way.
For real?
Mm-hmm.
Rarible. That's fucking dopeable that's fucking grows when you let it
you know excited to support seeds from the medic garden so that's a sick post i'm adding the mini
app it's funny again like i find myself always like whenever i'm on farcaster talking shit about
farcaster and then when i'm elsewhere i'm talking about like what's so great about Farcaster stuff it's funny um but uh yeah I think again we are seeing
I don't know how this isn't obvious to folks yeah but like another big Farcaster development that's
going to everybody's going to find out about soon with the many apps is happening yet again.
I've kind of just seen, there's just a pattern I've seen over and over.
As many frustrations I have with Farcaster, it's probably just because I care and stuff, but there is really a way in which things get incubated over there and then ported elsewhere that escapes the crypto Twitter bubble generally and do with that information what you will.
Yeah, I'm just seeing this on an on Farcaster. I didn't even know that this was all live right now. I'm going to mint one on fucking Farcaster.
Yes. Actually, you know, I'll do my next one on fucking Farcaster too. Yeah, actually, you know what?
I'll do my next one the same way.
That's a good idea.
I think there's only the fucking good and bad on there.
I don't think you're going to get a third exactly like that.
I think those are the only two.
That was just so funny though that you got those two.
Yeah. so funny though that you got those two yeah so man
if you guys
if anyone else fucking
mid to the dope one or whatever come up
I'm gonna wind this down
soon wait is that Pasta
I see Pasta's in here
dude he's on stage who the fuck
I didn't even know he's on fucking who the fuck so I don't even know
He's on fucking stage pasta. What's up my dog. How are you?
Yeah, what's up?
This is a bro
You like it always great to see you I just minted um two of these MFers
I got yeah
the Holy duck. Oh, he's fucking sick MFers I got the The Hoidoc
Hoidoc, he's fucking sick
Yeah, I got one of his
And then I got the
Ray Mushika
Yeah, I got one of his too
Oh, this one is sick
Yeah, I like the
And we were
Lucky enough for a fucking brain pasta to bless us with
two absolutely dank pieces uh for the collection as well so there i don't believe either have been
minted yet so you guys still have a chance to mint the brain pasta 101 um which is dope obviously
um which is dope obviously uh so thanks again pasta for uh for lending a hand in this effort
man it's and it's really dope to have you as a part of this one yeah brother it's always nice
working with you man um anytime anytime you need anything hit me up uh where'd it start to go
what's what's the latest what's the latest with you on the art front?
Can you give us a little, you know, any updates on what you're cooking?
All right, so here's the vibe as of lately.
I mean, as most of you know, I've been traveling around Asia.
But, like, the reason why I was doing that was kind of
to like outsource for like factories where to like build toys and I kind of
found like some good spots but like you know I still had to go back and like
finish that up but uh when I was in Japan I kind of like linked up with like
some really big gallerists they want to eventually work with me so like I'm gonna facilitate that
working on clothes working on just getting worldwide in general
when it comes to like
Is the distribution of that like something that's difficult to coordinate or what's like
have they made it easier to like to smaller supply like smaller collections?
It's way easier to do smaller shit, but like yeah, because think about it like you know, I do it I do a
Small line of like 50 I get to sell that online. I mean I could do I could do a large-scale shit
but like You know I I, I don't want to.
It's kind of like, when it comes to like fashion and everything, I don't want to make a lot
really fast, right?
I want to make a small amount, like over time, that people would look back at and they're like oh damn
you know fucking remember remember when he did the first drop that was sick remember when he did
number five that was sick you know um yeah it becomes more rare kind of like supreme's
business model um if you ever heard about uh how supreme kind of did it when
they came up they they hit a bunch of people they did small drops that sold out fast um and then
but they also hired people to stand that's the that's the motherfucker's way to do it man slow
and steady make it real make it Make it count. You know?
But other than that,
the characters have been getting fucking cooler.
Because, you know, you're getting Asian influence.
The vibes have been getting
better.
I met up with Junie.
I heard, bro. That is so fucking dope. Yeah, and Better I met up with Juni
That is so fucking dope
yeah, and um Don filthy tricks
and Don introduced me to a the other guy
Forgot his I forgot his name, but this is was it was a copy boys?
No, no, but it's a Pepe artist out in Thailand,
and he's fucking killer, bro.
He's sick.
And the best part about these two,
that Don Filthy Tricks introduced me to,
Junie and the other guy,
was they don't speak pretty much any English at all,
and they would just take us out to eat and fucking they get giant like buffet kind of food all of us are eating and they just like point that shit that tell us to eat it by pointing at it you know
fucking good vibes man and that's so tough Juni is like like such a piece of
the heart and soul of fucking Jungle Bay Island.
Like, he's so fucking talented, but also just has such a unique style
and is always creating art for the memes and stuff.
It's just, that's a motherfucker that's close to heart for me, man.
He's a bright
soul, honestly, when it comes down
to it. Like, um, if you
meet him in person, like, it's just
smiles.
Should we have, like, an argument
over who our favorite Jungle Bay
artist is?
I can't, I can't, like, I can't
pick a favorite, bro.
Well, that's why I had that.
I would definitely welcome.
I would like to see if anyone of y'all have someone
that's really slapped the memetic sorcery the hardest, in your view.
First that comes to mind, actually, that pops in my head is Loground.
Yeah, Loground.
He really, on a granular level, gets...
Ink, too, hangs around.
Like, I see ink around a lot, too, and I like ink a lot.
Filthy is also a fucking savage, bro.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm the same way.
I'm fans of all these guys.
I just said that.
The thing about Filthy that people don't realize is, bro can do this shit.
Like, the drawings that he's doing he does them fast these aren't
like these aren't fucking pieces that take him months no these elaborate pieces right he's doing
he does them and like well that's part of the genre too right like all these this like the
i think of i think of animated mfers as kind of like a pioneer in this respect. But just like everything is efficient and like with, I mean, not always necessarily.
Like there's showcases like this that you're doing that might have, you know, pieces that were developed over, you know, bigger kind of mindset.
But like, you know, it's like in the the it's like almost commentary on the happenings of
this things in the space and stuff at some level and well that's kind of in real time yeah like
but but like think about like for a musician right like you like people come and like watch
a musician play and they're like wow like how are they doing this right but as for the
for the fucking person playing the music if you've been doing it for a long time it's really you know for you it doesn't feel like much yeah i'm just doing i'm
just i'm trying to replicate what i do in my bedroom every evening yeah and for the artists
right like it's yeah for them maybe it doesn't take a lot of time to do that specific drawing
but realistically it's the accumulation it's the cumulative um uh you know your whole life
of practicing and your all your life experiences all being all coming together at the fucking tip
of the pen or whatever right even though it's fucking corny it's true it's like um yeah so
it's like yeah it's like that one piece of art or whatever may not take a lot of time but it takes
a lot of time to get to the point where it doesn't take a lot of
time.
Especially if it captures a moment that ends up,
you know,
being,
particularly memorable in whatever particular way,
you know,
the more you draw a face,
the easier it's going to be to draw those lines in the same kind of way over
and over and over again.
It becomes like,
just my,
you know,
muscle memory is a real thing,
right? And it's like to have that as the baseline you start at then it it opens up the opportunity to have more time to explore like expanding what's what's possible to fucking you know create it's
it's really you can tell these are 10 000 hour motherfuckers bro um it just there's no way around
that time piece we we talked about earlier so i
don't want to fucking hammer hammer it in but it is such an important piece of mf ms an important
element of mfers and and also like really the driving force of this collection because you
think about guard wait you're talking about one hour time pieces no no i'm talking about time
like the fact that obviously this all stemmed from Sartoshi's quote, right?
Plant your seeds and see where they grow.
And the time of a garden as a metaphor is like there's no way you can.
You can't just make a fucking incredible fruit.
You literally use the language kind piece.
Right, right.
That's funny.
That's funny.
If you know, you know.
If you know, you know.
If you know, you know.
If you know, you know.
And that as the driving weapon of choice for a lot of MFers and a lot of artists MFers is one thing that I think is a threat.
Because not all MFers are alike in any ways.
And that's why a lot of us resonate with what it represents. Because it represents everything. There's no like, oh, you're not this or you're not an MFers are alike in any ways. And that's why a lot of us resonate with what it represents because it represents everything.
There's no like, oh, you're not this or you're not an MFer.
It's like motherfuckers do what they want, right?
But the one thing I've noticed is that all the MFer builders and artists, they respect
time as a factor and they don't underestimate how much time sometimes is required to uh to
get something to where you're you're proud of it and it means something in a space which is
notoriously the exact opposite littered with ferrets damn bro oh fucking stallone got this
spellem in one i'm i'm posting this to the fucking top of the
mountain i don't know if you guys have checked out spellemans work but he's so fucking prolific
in my opinion man um this dude is here it's still uploading but i'm gonna i'm gonna pin it
um this dude is he's a fucking savage as well here i'm uh locked in um i can't see who just came on
i think i saw it's a avis man what's up dog how are you i just i just dropped by to say thanks
to every single artist out there that you know they're busting their their ass for us to enjoy what they're doing, guys.
I mean, we're the hardcore institutional investors. So imagine me in my office.
Let's say I'm in Europe, so it's 100 square meters full of screens.
And then you have the owners of the company coming in and seeing Jungle Bay memes
and memes trying to meme.
I mean, it's so funny.
You see MFers and you see BrainLeds and all these things.
And I'm trying to explain to traditional legacy millionaires what the fuck is going on.
And when they get it, they say, oh, yeah, yeah, get me that, get me that.
Buy me this NFTft i want to
do it you know three by four meters and put it on my wall and i want to buy this for my kids and i
want to do that and i want you know you know it's i mean you're changing everything guys you're
changing the way people perceive art creation uh You're putting so much
work in this shit and
we're just here buying it.
I know it's important for
somebody to actually buy it
it's going to be very hard for
anyone to reach
my position in Jungle Bay
memes, the token
Sikasa.
Let's fucking go.
I just bought a thousand dollars of it right now i'm just it's gonna be very happy you know you know i'm not selling i'm not gonna sell not
either and i'm not burning so let's see how it's gonna go it's let's let's see where it grows right
that's a case study isn't it it is It is. And I think so too, man.
And I appreciate the kind of boat of confidence
and you've kind of doing that
and just kind of represents that you're down the ride,
especially with that.
Because I don't know, for those who don't know
what Avis is referencing, just for context, the Jungle Bay memes token was I was trying to get banker to make a, uh, like a index of memes where like, if I went, if I said, Oh, let me buy 20 bucks of jungle Bay
memes, it would buy $5 a Bobo, $5 of that meant for $5 a Tali, $5 a risk. And it said, Oh yeah,
I can do that. And then I was asking again, all right, can you do it? And I was like, Oh,
I forgot that. Cause it needed to be in the same thread and I was like and I and then it told me it could and
then I said all right let's let's lock it in and act and let's do jungle Bay
memes and that's what the direction is and then all of a sudden it was like
just successfully deployed jungle Bay memes talking like it was just a banker
glitch that resulted in this token being created. I mean, sometimes this is how things happen.
Things happen by accident.
I mean, Banker itself isn't too far different, but go ahead, sir.
Right.
Yeah, Banker also is the same thing.
And then we have also DRB with Grok.
Yeah, exactly.
These are the stories that we're going through them.
We're going through this timeline and these
deployments, but you don't know where they're going to end up going because, I mean, imagine,
I'm in Cyprus, guys. I mean, in the other side of your world. And I'm just here because of the
art. And that's it. I mean, this is, for us, it's nothing.
I mean, we're, you know, very heavy investors into cryptocurrencies.
And I'm enjoying so much being around you guys rather than being with Chainlink and then, you know, Stellar Lumens and XRP Ledger.
I mean, I just bought 10% of the largest swap engine
on the XRP Ledger and it gave me no rush.
And I'm getting now to mint on Rarible,
this crazy, I'm going to get 10 NFTs
when we close up on Rarible.
And then it feels so much nicer
because I have a piece of history here.
This is it.
I hope you understand what I'm saying.
Not only do I understand and I resonate the same way,
but the whole intention, and I mentioned this earlier,
but there's a bunch of new people that came.
I just want to reiterate because really another driving intention
of this metaphorical Jungle Bay Island being this place that
brings a bunch of different artists that are
doing their own thing together.
It also gives people that are engaged
care about the art and the memes
to be engaged
enough to follow along. The opportunity
to get a 101
from Brain Pasta or Spellman
or Ray Larson or Manic or ray larsen or manic or
whoever at 0.0369 while these guys are like just in the early nascent stages relatively of what is
about to unfold in crypto and digital art and digital collectibles right and these they're
doing like marlin proves like they're doing so many things in real life and with their own careers
so like this this this kind of nod that they gave to be able to contribute to this effort, this collection, to MFers, whatever,
it gives an opportunity, though, to not have an addition.
And I'm not detracting from having an addition.
from having an addition, that's fine.
That's fine.
But a one-on-one, it hits different.
But a one-on-one, it hits different.
And to have it at a relatively low threshold for people
that hold it because they love it,
to have that paired with the artist continuing
to do their thing and building,
and then down the line,
seeing the impact of having a one-on-one from that artist
could be a really incredible moment.
And I experienced it recently with Manic. Having a one-on-one from that artist could be a really incredible moment.
And I experienced it recently with Manic.
This dude has just been around, like, creating.
He had his own internal struggles with bipolar stuff.
But he was always creating, and I just loved his art.
I know Sardo did as well.
And he even went on this, like, alter ego thing with mystery.
And, like, there's just a whole lore around Man right but nobody was paying him any mind and then out of nowhere um
like he got the nod from ralph paul a bunch of people started recognizing his existing talent
thank you x was the person that gave him the nod that kind of like made him really blow up
who was and all you know but but what the the point i'm saying is like he was there putting That gave him the nod that kind of like made him really blow up Who was? And all in a bit Thank you
The point I'm saying is like he was there putting in the reps showing up without you know in a very thankless
Environment for a long time same way that you have been in many respects pasta and a lot of the other artists
And it only takes that one catalyst moment, but when it happens
It changes everything and now holding some of the manic fucking one-on-ones I have and shit,
like, it's crazy to see the Weethe offers I'm getting on them.
You know, it's just like, even on his editions,
and it's just like, it's so dope when you recognize someone,
you buy it just because you genuinely love their art,
and then to see the larger larger fucking masses um uh you know uh be
introduced to them and and resonate to the point where the man goes where it goes that's like that's
the fucking special sauce of being able to really find like fulfillment and collecting i think
yeah not only are you getting a one of one from us, you know, that we did we did for this like the one of one alone is like super cool. But you're getting a one of the best things about crypto and like um
